      have been R2.4 million excluding non-recurring costs incurred during the take-on and business integration phase.

COMMENTARY
Nature of business
Cashbuild is southern Africa's largest retailer of quality building materials and associated products, selling direct to
a cash-paying customer base through our constantly expanding chain of stores (318 at the end of this financial year
which includes the seven DIY stores and 60 P&L Hardware stores). Cashbuild carries an in-depth quality product range
tailored to the specific needs of the communities we serve. Our customers are typically home-builders and improvers,
contractors, farmers, traders, as well as all other customers requiring quality building materials at the best value.

Cashbuild has built its credibility and reputation by consistently offering its customers quality building materials at
the best value and through a purchasing and inventory policy that ensures customers' requirements are always met.

International Financial Reporting Standards
The Group is reporting its annual audited results in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").

Financial highlights
Revenue for the year increased by 5%. Revenue for stores in existence prior to July 2016 (pre-existing stores - 276 stores)
remained at similar levels while our 42 new stores provided the 5% increase. Gross profit increased by 4% with gross
profit percentage decreasing from 25.5% to 25.2%. This was achieved in tough trading conditions with selling price
inflation of 2%.

Operating expenses, including new stores, remained well controlled and increased by only 9% (existing stores 3%
and new stores 6%). Notwithstanding this, the increase in revenue did not compensate for the increased expenses,
resulting in operating profit decreasing by 12%. Basic earnings per share decreased by 10% with headline earnings
per share also decreasing by 9% from the prior year. The effective tax rate of 28.4% for the period is similar to that of 
the previous period.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by 19% to R953 million. Stock levels, including new stores, have increased by
17% with overall stockholding at 88 days (2017: 85 days) at year end. Net asset value per share has increased by 14%,
from 6 642 cents (June 2017) to 7 578 cents.

During the year, Cashbuild opened 25 new stores (11 Cashbuild stores, six P&L Hardware stores and acquired eight
stores which were converted to P&L Hardware stores), refurbished 27 stores and relocated six Cashbuild stores.
Cashbuild will continue its store expansion, relocation and refurbishment strategy in a controlled manner, applying
the same rigorous process as in the past.

Prospects
Group revenue for the six weeks after year end has increased by 1% on the comparable six week period.
Management believe trading conditions will remain extremely challenging. This information has neither been
reviewed nor audited by the company's auditor.
