Introduction
The Board of Directors (Board) has pleasure in presenting Adcock Ingram shareholders with commentary on the Group's excellent results 
for the year ended 30 June 2017.

It was only three years ago that a newly constituted leadership team at Adcock Ingram was grappling with crucial legacy matters,
simultaneously planning the implementation of a decentralised organisational structure and operating control system, to better manage each
of the various business units within the Group. This was a material and challenging undertaking, not only in its planning and implementation, 
but against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, volatile currency conversion rates, production issues, customer relationship matters, including 
a loss of market share. 

It is now common cause, that the restructured management team diligently responded to the call and Adcock Ingram's business has over
the past three years been competently re-engineered, not only in its progressing profitability, but once again, the Group enjoys the respect
of its national customer and consumer base, more particularly, having restored Adcock Ingram's decades long, trusted reputation in the
general pharmaceutical, health and personal care markets of South Africa.

Although the 2017 financial year has been somewhat challenging, aggravated by a poor economic and often unstable socio-
political environment, a lack of growth in consumer disposable income and rising unemployment, the Group has nevertheless achieved
satisfactory growth in turnover, which through efficiencies and cost control, has yielded an exceptional increase in trading profits.

This is a reflection of management's commitment and continued focus on customer service, an investment in sales, marketing and
brand innovation, all coupled with proper production planning, disciplined overhead management and improved economics in factory
output.

Adcock Ingram once again proudly takes its place as one of the leading pharmaceutical, consumer and health product manufacturers
and distributors in South Africa.

Financial performance - continuing
operations

Turnover and profits
Turnover increased by 7% to R5,936 million compared to the previous year and all business units recorded improvements in turnover. Price
adjustments contributed approximately 5.7% of the annual increase through two single exit price (SEP) increases, whereas the improved sales mix
and a marginal volume increase, contributed the balance of approximately 1.3%.

Gross profit margins improved from 36.6% in 2016 to 37.8% in the current year substantially arising from the improved product sales mix, good
inventory management and factory efficiencies.

Operating expenses were well controlled and increased by only 6.6%, resulting in a 20% improvement in trading profit to R724 million
(2016: R606 million).

Non-trading expenses
Non-trading expenses of R47.1 million include share-based expenses of R40.7 million and corporate activity costs of R6.3 million.

Net finance costs and headline earnings
Good cash flow management and the proceeds on the disposal of the Indian selling and marketing business, contributed to a
material reduction in the Group's net debt. Accordingly, net finance costs decreased from R71.8 million in the prior year to R22.6 million in
the current year, a saving of R49.2 million.

Headline earnings from continuing operations for the year increased to R513.7 million (2016: R376.4 million). This translates into headline
earnings per share from continuing operations of 308.9 cents (2016: 226.1 cents), an improvement of 36.6%.

Cash flows
Cash generated from operations amounted to R767.9 million (2016: R941.1 million) impacted in the main by an increased working
capital demand of R233.9 million (June 2016: decrease of R113.8 million). Notwithstanding the aforesaid, the Group had net cash resources
of R335 million at year-end, compared to net debt of R311 million at the end of the prior year, an improvement of R646 million.

Dividend distribution
The Board has declared a final dividend of 76 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2017 out of income reserves. Total dividend
distributions for the year will therefore be 139 cents per share an increase of 34% compared to 2016.

Business overview

Southern Africa
This segment encompasses all of the business units in the southern African region (excluding Datlabs in Zimbabwe), namely, OTC,
Prescription, Consumer and Hospital.

OTC turnover improved by 10.8% to R1,849 million, substantially triggered by greater volume demand in most of the top brands,
particularly Allergex, Citro-Soda, Napamol and Alcophyllex, supported by increased demand in the tender and export markets, the
new products acquired during the year (Brolene, Stop-Allerg and Asic) and innovation on established brands. This business unit, which
focuses on products for pain, colds and flu and anti-histamine therapeutic areas, primarily marketed through the pharmacy channel,
posted resilient growth, as measured by IMS. The gross margin is marginally lower than the prior year, impacted by greater demand in
lower margin tender business and consumer buying patterns, choosing smaller pack sizes. Trading profit, however, increased by 10.4% to
R342.3 million (June 2016: R310.0 million).

Prescription turnover improved by 5.9% to R1,938 million (June 2016: R1,831 million) substantially aided by the SEP increases. The
division nevertheless achieved double digit growth in the private market segment on a "moving-annual-turnover" (MAT) basis as
measured by IMS. Volume growth was evident through increased private-sector demand for Trivenz, the Group's largest anti-retroviral
(ARV) product, and numerous other generic products. This was partially offset by lower demand from the public sector for certain ARVs.
A gross margin improvement was nevertheless realised, driven by the increased private sector sales mix. Trading profit of R207.8 million
is 21.2% ahead of the trading profit in the prior year of R171.5 million.

Consumer turnover of R689 million is marginally ahead of the comparable period, which typically reflected muted consumer
spending patterns, particularly amongst the lower LSM groups. According to Nielsen's research, Panado and Compral continue to outperform
the product segments in which they compete. Good cost control in this business unit, enabled trading profit to increase by 21.6% to
R110.0 million (June 2016: R90.5 million).

Hospital turnover increased by 2.4% to R1,257 million (June 2016: R1,227 million) with the Medicine Delivery product category not
achieving any growth over the prior year. This was affected by a 4% decline in Tender sales. This decline was compensated by growth of
10% by a somewhat better Renal portfolio demand. A gross margin improvement was realised in the year, driven by the variation in the
sales mix. Trading profits increased to R58.5 million (June 2016: R35.1 million). The hospital division commenced the marketing of the
Pharma-Q range of products, after securing the commercial rights for South Africa during the year.

Rest of Africa
The Group's non-South African enterprises comprise of operations in Zimbabwe and Kenya. The OTC Division has assumed management
responsibility for the Kenyan operation, the purpose being to exercise better control over operations in that region. These foreign
entities collectively posted a trading profit of R2.7 million, compared to a trading loss of R3.5 million in the prior year.

Changes to the Board
On 24 May 2017, Ms Lulama Boyce and Ms Jenitha John were appointed as independent non-executive directors and members of the
Audit Committee. Ms Boyce is also a member of the Human Resources, Remuneration and Nominations Committee and Ms John a member
of the Risk and Sustainability Committee. Mr Andrew Hall and Ms Dorette Neethling, in their respective capacities as Chief Executive Officer
(CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), were appointed members of the Risk and Sustainability Committee in accordance with the
recommendations of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance.

On 21 August 2017, Dr Brian Joffe resigned as non-executive director and Chairman of the Acquisitions Committee.

Prospects
The Adcock Ingram Group, like other corporates in South Africa, enters a new financial year presently characterised by a range of challenges
which include, inter alia, low economic growth, volatile currency conversion rates, rising unemployment, political uncertainty and several other
local and global spheres of instability.

Notwithstanding these national and international realities, the Board takes comfort from the fact that today, the Adcock Ingram Group is a
well-managed, well capitalised and profitable group enterprise, with inspired and motivated teams throughout the organisation operating in a 
relatively defensive sector of the economy.

The strategy of the Group remains the pursuit of additional sector opportunities, by acquisition or partnership, to expand the Group's product
portfolio and to leverage and rationalise the Group capacity for further growth, particularly in less regulated product classes, preferably without
the immediate need for material capital expenditure and infrastructure.

The experience gained over the past three years of focused remedial activity, is not materially different from the protective nature of conducting
business in today's economic circumstances and the Board remains assured by the Group's capable management and is cautiously confident in
the prospects for sustainability for the year ahead, subject always to there being no unexpected material economic and/or political disruptions
arising.

   The fair value of the trade receivables equals the gross amount of trade receivables and amounts to R16.1 million. None
   of the trade receivables have been impaired and it is expected that the full contractual amounts can be collected.

   Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net assets acquired as
   there are no further separately identifiable intangible assets. The significant factors that contributed to the recognition
   of goodwill include, but are not limited to, the establishment of a fine distribution network, expanding the Group's
   national footprint.

   From the date of acquisition, Virtual contributed R21.7 million towards revenue and reported a profit before income tax
   of R0.9 million.

   If the Virtual acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the reporting period, the revenue would have been R84.9
   million and profit before income tax would have been R3.1 million.

   Transaction costs of R1.5 million have been expensed and are included in non-trading expenses.
   
   A payment of R8.0 million of the purchase price, which is fully provided for, has been deferred. The deferred payment is subject to the
   achievement of profit targets.

5. Discontinued operations
   During the year ended 30 June 2016, the Board had resolved to dispose of:

   - Adcock Ingram Private Limited (India); and
   - Ayrton Drug Manufacturing Limited (Ayrton) in Ghana.

   This resulted in the above businesses being classified and accounted for as a disposal group held-for-
   sale during the previous financial year. India was disposed of on 14 October 2016 and 53.47% of
   Ayrton on 7 December 2016, with the Group retaining a 25.1% minority share in Ayrton. The loss of
   control on disposal resulted in the foreign currency translation reserve relating to both entities being
   recycled to profit and loss.

Forward-looking statements
Adcock Ingram may, in this document, make certain statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses and other information
which are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future
prospects, developments and business strategies. Examples of such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
regarding exchange rate fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market share, total shareholder return and cost reductions. Words such
as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour" and "project" and similar expressions are 
intended to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, 
forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, 
forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved. If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying 
assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Forward-looking statements apply only as of the date 
on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information, future events 
or otherwise.
