VOLUNTARY TRADING UPDATE - 2018 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Shareholders are advised that the preparation of the Group’s financial statements for the 2018
financial year are nearing finalisation and a reasonable degree of certainty now exists over the
Group’s results.
The Board is pleased to announce that Santova expects both profit for the year attributable to
equity holders and the resultant Group headline earnings per share for the year ended 28
February 2018 to be between 10% to 15% higher than that reported in the previous corresponding
period. As a result, the Group will record its 8th consecutive year of growth in headline earnings
per share since 2010.
This result was achieved primarily through organic growth across its various regions in a period
where the Group made no new acquisitions, and despite the significant strengthening of the South
African Rand, which negatively impacted on the comparative translation of income from the
Group’s foreign operations in 2018.
The Group’s final results for the year ended 28 February 2018 are expected to be published on
SENS at approximately 3 pm on Wednesday 16 May 2018.
