Voluntary Trading Update Value Group Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Registration number: 1997/002203/06 Share code: VLE ISIN code: ZAE000016507 (Value or the Group) VOLUNTARY TRADING UPDATE The 2018 financial year was characterised by a stagnant economy, political uncertainty and poor growth rates which impeded pricing and volumes in certain divisions of the Group. This negative trend was reversed by the ongoing focus on reducing the Group’s cost base and partial improvement in volumes towards the end of the financial year. The retail logistics business of Key Distributors performed to expectation. The current period’s results however, were impacted by the once off BBBEE equity transaction costs amounting to R19 million as illustrated in the Group’s interim results dated 18 October 2017. Shareholders are accordingly advised that basic and headline earnings per share for the year ended 28 February 2018 will be 10% lower to 10% higher than that achieved in the previous corresponding period. This translates to basic earnings per share ranging from 51,5 to 62,9 cents per share in relation to the comparative period, 28 February 2017, (57,2 cents per share) and headline earnings per share ranging from 55,7 to 68,1 cents per share in relation to the comparative period (61,9 cents per share). Excluding the once off BBBEE equity transaction costs, adjusted headline earnings per share for the year ended 28 February 2018 will be 5% to 25% higher than that achieved in the corresponding period. This translates to adjusted headline earnings per share ranging from 65,0 to 77,4 cents per share in relation to the comparative period, 28 February 2017, (61,9 cents per share). The financial results, on which this trading update has been based, have not been reviewed or reported on by Value’s auditors. Further information will be provided in the results announcement for the year ended 28 February 2018 which will be published on or about 11 May 2018.
