Interwaste Holdings Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

REVIEWED PROVISIONAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017


OVERVIEW
We are pleased to update you on the performance of the Group for the year ended 31 December
2017, and to inform you of the progress made by the Operations during the year under review.

Despite subdued growth and business confidence in South Africa, the year ended 31 December
2017 delivered overall revenue growth of 12% and for the first time revenue from continuing
operations exceeded R1 billion. Demand for services in the waste management industry
directly correlates with economic activity. Despite an environment with minimal growth in
Gross Domestic Product (GDP), revenue from continuing Operations increased on the back of
price increases in the Logistics and Facilities segments as well as growing volumes from new
Operations mainly in the Mining and Resources sector. Volumes with respect to waste streams
from other clients, especially from municipalities, remain under pressure.

The trading environment is competitive. Interwaste’s strategy of providing integrated waste
management solutions and controlling the entire value chain continues to afford us a
competitive advantage. Our internationally accredited operating standards and growing
service offerings enable Interwaste to be the supplier of choice for many local and
multinational companies.


STRATEGIC FOCUS AREAS
The Group remains committed to realising value for all our stakeholders through our
Strategic Focus Areas:


INNOVATIVE INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS
The Group continues to innovate and remain at the forefront of technology and solutions
within the Waste Management industry. The number of waste management solutions and client
needs continue to grow especially in light of more stringent environmental legislation and a
focus on zero waste to landfill strategies. Effective 30 June 2017, we exited the non-
performing Blending Plant business with Lafarge and replaced the capability at our operation
in Germiston which provides greater flexibility for the business. We continue to grow this
capability in-house with a wider ranging client base to accept offtake.

The Klinkerstene Landfill which was commissioned in July 2016 provides flexibility through
an additional Company owned disposal facility. Cell two at the landfill was completed during
the year providing additional airspace in order to meet the Group’s short to medium-term
demands.

Our Laboratory at our site in Germiston was awarded full SANAS accreditation with Interwaste
now having one of the most advanced and fully certified environmental laboratories in South
Africa.


PROFITABLE GROWTH AND FINANCIAL RETURNS
The Group remains focused on growing shareholder value through long-term sustainable cash
generation, improved operational efficiencies and prioritising capital investment expected
to generate the highest return. In line with the strategy of migrating from operating leases
to that of fleet ownership, our truck fleet replacement which commenced during 2013 was
completed during the third quarter of 2017. Interwaste now has ownership of a modern and
young fleet of vehicles.
The Group was highly cash generative with an inflow of R192.6 million (2016: R99.0 million)
of cash before financing driven by improved profitability, lower investment in working
capital and a reduction in cash utilised in investing activities. Cash and cash equivalents
held at 31 December 2017 were R116.1 million compared to R30.9 million at the end of the
prior year. With the improved cash flows, Debt to Equity reduced to 48.1% from 53.4% in the
prior year.

Operating profit from continuing operations for the year ended 31 December 2017 was R109.3
million, up 11% on the prior year. The Logistics segment performed well due to an increase
in volumes from new operations, a strong focus on asset utilisation and efficiencies and the
consolidation and relocation of non-performing depots. The Facilities segment underperformed
due to lower volumes arising from stagnant economic growth within South Africa and
uncertainty of the validity of the FG license impacting disposal volumes. With the
commissioning of the Klinkerstene Landfill effective 1 July 2016, the operating costs of the
Facilities segment was further impacted by operating costs of two landfills for an entire
year together with increased legal and compliance costs.

During 2017, Interwaste Holdings’ share price traded below the net asset value and the
Company used the opportunity to buy-back their own shares. 25.8 million shares at an average
price of 87c per share were acquired during the financial year. A total of 29.5 million
shares were held at 31 December 2017.

Our focus on returns delivered an improved position on return on net operating assets (RONA)
from 12.5% in 2016 to 14.0% this financial year due to improved profitability together with
a lower operating asset base. The impact of additional profits earned by minority
shareholders negatively impacted both Headline Earnings per share (HEPS) and Return on
Equity (ROE). HEPS for the year was 10.70c, up 16% compared to the prior year and was up 8%
on a continuing basis. ROE was 8.6% for the year, similar to last year. We remain committed
in the long-term to improving ROE to in excess of the Company’s weighted average cost of
capital.


CLIENT CENTRICITY
Interwaste has a proud history of building sustainable relationships with our clients
founded on mutual respect and trust. The Group remains focused on forming long-term
partnerships with key clients, growing market share and renewing profitable contracts at
their end date. Client retention, service levels and new client acquisition remain key. Our
service offering coupled with high operational standards enabled the Group to secure new
clients in a number of sectors during the year resulting in revenue increasing 12% year-on-
year, despite volume reductions within our existing client base.

Our Business Development team continues to focus on organic growth, diversifying our client
base and achieving greater market share in the regions and industries in which we operate.
Interwaste’s team of specialists and our integrated offering positions us well to service
new opportunities arising from increased waste regulations, our clients’ zero waste to
landfill strategies and a heightened awareness of the value sustainable waste management
solutions created for business.


OUR PEOPLE
Our people remain core to achieving our strategic objectives. We maintained sustainable
employment for over 1,900 people throughout the Group during the 2017 financial year. The
Group is focused on attracting, recruiting, developing and retaining appropriate skills and
talent. During the year under review, significant steps were undertaken in this area. The
organisation has employed a number of staff with deep experience from similar industries in
order to grow the business. The Group also implemented a new remuneration policy for 2018
including job grading, a short-term incentive scheme and is reviewing the long-term
incentive scheme to meet the objective of retaining appropriate skills and talent. This
policy will form the back bone of an integrated employee management system.
TRANSFORMATION, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
In alignment with our people focus, Transformation, Diversity and Inclusion remains key to
achieving our Group objectives. We are striving to create a more diverse and equitable
workforce to not only mirror the diversity of the countries in which we operate, but to
enhance our competitiveness. Interwaste is a B-BBEE Level 4 contributor and is currently
implementing its roadmap to further enhance the rating. We are committed to be involved in a
range of initiatives supporting gender diversity, entrepreneurship, localisation and
industrialisation in South Africa.


OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
In order to remain competitive and provide sustainable solutions, operational excellence is
a fundamental strategic driver for the business. We are building a culture and mindset of
continuous improvement and innovation to ensure we leverage our skills, capabilities,
investments and assets to extract maximum value for all. From Operations, Logistics and
Facilities to Administrative and Servicing teams, each has measures and programmes to
proactively track progress towards achieving our targets.

The Group evaluates ongoing investments to enhance operational efficiencies which will
deliver value in the short, medium and long-term. Proactive steps have been taken to right
size certain areas of our operations to ensure unproductive assets are re-allocated to areas
which are able to generate the required returns. During the year under review, the Group
embarked on the consolidation, relocation and disposal of various non-performing depots and
businesses to more effectively utilise the assets of the Group. In line with our strategy of
profitable growth, the non-performing Blending Plant’s assets, which are included in the
Facilities segment, were sold to Lafarge effective 30 June 2017 with losses having ceased
from that date. The overall activities of our cross-border investments continue to perform
well with healthy returns being generated.


SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development is the very essence of our business. We strive to operate and create
solutions which take into consideration economic, social and environmental factors. We aim
to reduce the environmental footprint of our own business, as well as the activities of our
clients. We care about our planet and aim to preserve it now and for future generations.

Many initiatives across the business support our sustainable development goals. Socially, we
support the communities surrounding us through education, employment, Enterprise Development
and other programmes. To ensure our operational processes are of the highest environmental
standards, we implemented and achieved the latest ISO 14 001 accreditation in December 2017.
The health and safety of our employees and those with whom we work is critical and supported
by a team of experienced SHEQ officers.

Given the extensive focus on the FG Landfill, the site’s license and compliance came under
scrutiny from both the National and Provincial Regulators. The Company was engaged in legal
proceedings with regards to the license for the site. The matter was heard in December 2017
and on the 13th of February 2018, the Court ruled in Interwaste’s favour confirming the
validity of the FG Landfill’s license. The Minister of Environmental Affairs is also
considering submissions regarding the landfill’s environmental impact.


2018 OUTLOOK
The economy in South Africa is projected to grow by 1.1% in 2018. The foreign exchange
markets were impacted positively by the results of the December 2017 ANC elective conference
and the subsequent political changes. Based on the forecasts of economic growth, it is
reasonable to presume relatively flat growth in the year that lies ahead, with some
optimism. It is hopeful that there will be an improvement of business confidence following
the political changes which will drive higher economic growth. The provision of integrated
waste solutions together with increasing levels of compliance should assist in retaining
clients as well as acquiring new clients providing opportunities for sustained growth. We
continue to drive returns by managing costs and improving efficiencies. Resources will be
applied to investments that generate the required returns.

While the road ahead remains challenging, we believe that our Group is well positioned in
meeting the Group’s objectives of maximising value for all our stakeholders.


DIVIDEND
With strong cash generation for the year ended 31 December 2017, the Board has approved the
payment of a maiden dividend of 2.0c per share amounting to R9.34 million, to be declared on
19 March 2018. We remain committed to future dividends by applying a policy of between 4.5
to 5.0 times cover of income attributable to Interwaste shareholders bearing in mind the
balance between capitalising on opportunities and delivering on short, medium and long-term
value for shareholders.

3. Restatement of 2016 cash flows

   The 2016 Condensed Statement of Cash Flows was restated in order to correct a
   classification error reflecting additions of property, plant and equipment through
   instalment sales agreements amounting to R105.4 million as non-cash flow items as
   required by IAS7: Cash flow statements.

   The impact of the changes are reflected below:

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The directors are not aware of any material matter or circumstance arising since the end of
31 December 2017 and up to the date of approval of the condensed consolidated financial
results, relevant to an assessment of the financial results at 31 December 2017.



7. IMPACT OF IFRS 15, IFRS 9 AND IFRS 16

The following new and revised standards have been issued, but is not yet effective at the
date of this report.

IFRS 15: Revenue from contracts with customers

The Group has performed a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of the adoption of
IFRS 15. For revenue from the sale of goods, management does not expect a significant impact
on the measurement or timing of revenue recognition as:

1) There is no material right of return; and
2) The date when control passes in terms of IFRS 15 is likely to be materially the same as
the date revenue is currently recognised.

For revenue from the rendering of services, management does not expect a significant impact
on the measurement or timing of revenue recognition due to the nature and short length of the
services rendered.


IFRS 9: Financial Instruments

Management has performed a preliminary assessment of the impact of IFRS 9. Given the nature
of the Group’s financial instruments, the Group does not believe that the new classification
requirements will significantly impact on the measurement of these instruments.

The impairment model for trade receivables will change from an “incurred loss” model to an
“expected loss” model.


IFRS 16: Leases

The Group has a number of operating leases for equipment and vehicles that may be recognised
on the statement of financial position as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. Management has
identified specific contracts where an impact is expected and is in the process of determining:

1) Whether these contracts meet the definition of lease contracts per IFRS 16;
2) Whether any scope exemptions apply; and
3) The quantitative impact of recognising these leases on the statement of financial position,
where relevant.

At the end of the financial year the Group had lease commitments of R5.7 million (2016: R6.1
million) for premises and R0.3 million (2016: R5.8 million) for vehicles and equipment.
