Trading Statement



Shareholders are advised that the Naspers group (“the group”) is presently finalising

its condensed consolidated interim report for the six months ended 30 September 2017.



We expect core headline earnings per share to be between 62% (132 US cents) and

67% (142 US cents) higher than the comparable period’s 212 US cents. Shareholders

are reminded that the board considers core headline earnings an appropriate indicator

of the sustainable operating performance of the group, as it adjusts for non-recurring

and non-operational items.


It is expected that earnings per share for the six months ended 30 September 2017, will

be between 94% (121 US cents) and 99% (128 US cents) higher compared to the prior

period’s 129 US cents.
                                           




Headline earnings per share for the six months is expected to increase by between 62%

(80 US cents) and 67% (86 US cents) from the prior period’s 129 US cents.



Further details will be provided in the condensed consolidated financial results, due to

be released on or about 29 November 2017. Financial information on which this trading

statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the company’s auditors.
