INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors (Board) is very pleased with the excellent earnings growth achieved by the Group in the past financial year, considering 
the price-regulated environment in which it operates and difficult economic environment in South Africa. The results were achieved through continued 
investment in well established brands, improved factory efficiencies, and relentless focus on customer service and product quality.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

TURNOVER AND PROFITS

Group turnover during the year under review increased by 10.2% to R6,540 million (2017: R5,936 million), driven by an increase in mix of 5.4%, which
includes the Genop acquisition from 1 January 2018, an average realised price increase of 3.8% and improved volumes contributed the balance.

The gross margin improvement from 37.8% to 39.2% was realised from an improvement in the exchange rate, a change in the sales mix and
improved efficiencies at the Wadeville factory on the back of increased production of ARV's.

Operating expenses including those relating to Genop increased by 12.0%. Excluding Genop, expenses increased by less than 6%, resulting in a
19.6% improvement in trading profit to R866 million (2017: R724 million).

NON-TRADING EXPENSES

Non-trading expenses of R46.9 million include share-based expenses of R34.4 million, corporate activity costs of R7.3 million and impairments
of R5.2 million.

NET FINANCE COSTS AND HEADLINE EARNINGS

The improvement in the Group's net average cash position during the year resulted in net finance cost decreasing to R7.9 million (2017: R22.6 million).

Headline earnings for the period under review amounted to R644.7 million (2017: R513.7 million). This translates into headline earnings per share
from continuing operations of 387.7 cents (2017: 308.9 cents), an increase of 25.5%.

CASH FLOWS

Cash generated from operations amounted to R854.9 million (2017: R767.9 million) after working capital increased by R343.0 million (2017: R233.9
million) with additional investment in inventory as the Group took on new product portfolios and increased stockholding of raw materials for the
production of ARVs. Trade receivables remained well controlled and the average days outstanding are 65 (2017: 70 days).

The Group had net cash resources of R156 million (2017: R335 million) at the end of the year.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

The Board has declared a final dividend of 86 cents per share for the year ended 30 June 2018 out of income reserves. Total dividend distribution
will therefore be 172 cents per share, an improvement of 24% compared to 2017.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

SOUTHERN AFRICA

OTC, which focuses on products in the pain, coughs, colds and flu, and anti-histamine therapeutic areas through the pharmacy channel, has seen a
turnover improvement of 7.6% to R1,989 million (2017: R 1,849 million) with top brands like Adco-Dol, Allergex, Alcophyllex and Napamol showing
double-digit growth. This business unit realised the full SEP price increase granted by government. Mix and volume improvements were healthy,
following innovative new product launches and decent demand for smaller pack size analgesics. OTC was appointed by Abbott Laboratories to perform
the sales, marketing and distribution of a range of products, namely Brufen, Creon, Duphalac and Calmettes, for South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland.

A gross margin improvement was realised in this year, driven by an advantageous sales mix and the improvement in the exchange rate. As a result,
trading profit increased by 16.7% to R399.6 million (2017: R342.3 million).

Prescription turnover improved by 15.5% to R2,238 million (2017: R1,938 million), and the Division also showed double-digit growth in the private
market segment as measured by IQVIA. Mix, although adversely impacted by the loss of a low-margin multinational partner contract, improved by
10.1%, aided substantially by the acquisition of Genop (R223.8 million), and the on-boarding of the Astellas portfolio from Leo Pharma and Topzole
from Takeda. Volumes increased by 3.6% mainly as a result of the increased demand in the ARV private market and an average price increase of 1.8%
was achieved. A gross margin improvement was realised in the year, driven by increased ARV throughput at the Wadeville factory and a better sales
mix. As a result, trading profit of R239.4 million is 15.2% ahead of the prior year of R207.8 million.

Consumer turnover was almost flat at R686.7 million (2017: R688.8 million), in a challenging environment, characterised by limited consumer discretionary
spend. Despite the poor trading, the Division delivered a small improvement in trading profit to R112.2 million (2017: R110.0 million). In the second
half of the financial year, the Division underwent a leadership change. Subsequently, some reorganisation has taken place and we expect to see an
improvement in customer focus, brand support and trading performance.

Hospital turnover improved by 7.2% to R1,348 million (2017: R1,257 million) with an average realised price increase of 1.9%. Additional volumes
contributed 2.9% and mix 2.5%, following the award of the marketing rights to the Pharma Q injectable product range. The gross margin improved
as a result of a change in the sales mix with gains in the private market and the improved exchange rate. Trading profits improved by an impressive
63.0% to R95.3 million (2017: R58.5 million).

On the regulatory front in South Africa, the National Health Insurance Bill, Medical Schemes Amendment Bill and Health Market Inquiry Report have all 
recently been issued. The Company is supportive of initiatives that broaden access to healthcare in South Africa and do not threaten the sustainability 
of the local pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Adcock Ingram will continue to engage government through the industry bodies in that regard.  
The Company is a well-diversified  Consumer, OTC, Prescription and Hospital pharmaceutical business with an extensive and affordable product portfolio 
that is able to take advantage of the opportunities which may emanate from implementation of National Health Insurance.

REST OF AFRICA

Turnover in the Group's enterprises in Zimbabwe and Kenya collectively increased by 7.5% to R222.6 million (2017: R207.1 million) and achieved a trading
profit of R18.3 million, a good improvement on the R2.7 million reported in the prior year. The positive performance is attributable in Zimbabwe to a
significant improvement in demand for the top brands following improved stock availability, whilst the improvement in the Kenyan operation is due to
strict management focus by the OTC Division from South Africa. Operations in Zimbabwe remain unpredictable and investment may be required in the
short- to medium-term to recapitalise its facilities. Consequently, the Board is assessing the viability of the Group's continued presence in that country.

CHANGES TO THE BOARD AND IN DIRECTOR'S FUNCTION

Ms Jenitha John was appointed as Chairperson of the Audit Committee, effective 20 February 2018.

PROSPECTS

The Board expects trading conditions to remain difficult with constrained consumer spend and high levels of unemployment, but is confident in
the equity and resilience of the broad portfolio of brands in the Group. The recent decline in the value of the Rand is of concern and
against this background cost-control will be a focus in the year ahead.

Adcock Ingram is engaging constructively with the National Department of Health through the Pricing Committee on whether any short-term relief on 
SEP will be available. 

The Board remains committed in seeking additional affordable brands to augment its range of products and defend its position in the market. Expanding
the non-regulated portfolio to limit the impact of the exchange rate and SEP environment remains a focus in this regard.

DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION

The Board has declared a final gross dividend out of income reserves of 86 cents per share in respect of the year ended 30 June 2018. The
South African dividend tax ("DT") rate is 20% and the net dividend payable to shareholders who are not exempt from DT is 68.80 cents per share.
Adcock Ingram currently has 175 748 048 ordinary shares in issue of which 149 905 089 qualify for ordinary dividends. The income tax reference
number is 9528/919/15/3.

      The fair value of the trade receivables equals the net amount of trade receivables and amounts to
      R74.3 million.

      Marketing-related intangible assets relate to the Epi-Max brand. Epi-Max was fair valued, at
      acquisition, from R11.7 million to R120 million which gave rise to a deferred tax liability of R30.3 million.
      The royalty relief methodology was used to determine the valuation, by applying a 9% royalty rate
      and market related discount rate.

      Goodwill represents the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of the
      net assets acquired as there are no further separately identifiable intangible assets. The significant
      factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill include, but are not limited to the
      acquisition of a specialised and quality pharmaceutical business with a management team with
      proven experience, knowledge, skills and track record in their field.

      From the date of acquisition, Genop contributed R223.8 million towards revenue and reported a 
      profit before income tax of R6.2 million.

      If the Genop acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the reporting period, the revenue
      would have been R452.3 million and profit before income tax would have been R24.5 million.

4.2   VIRTUAL LOGISTICS PROPRIETARY LIMITED (VIRTUAL)

      On 1 April 2017, Adcock Ingram Healthcare Proprietary Limited acquired 100% of the shareholding
      of Virtual Logistics Proprietary Limited (Virtual), a national fine distribution company.
      The fair value of the identifiable assets as at the date of acquisition was:
      Assets                                                                                                                       25 413
      Liabilities                                                                                                                  15 408
      Total identifiable net assets at fair value                                                                                  10 005
      Goodwill arising on acquisition                                                                                               5 595
      Purchase consideration                                                                                                       15 600

      Net bank overdraft acquired with the business                                                                                 2 275
      Net cash consideration                                                                                                        9 875

      The fair value of the trade receivables equaled the gross amount of trade receivables and amounted to R16.1 million.
      None of the trade receivables were impaired and it was expected that the full contractual amounts could be
      collected.

      Goodwill represented the difference between the purchase consideration and the fair value of the net assets
      acquired as there were no further separately identifiable intangible assets. The significant factors that contributed
      to the recognition of goodwill include, but were not limited to, the establishment of a fine distribution network,
      expanding the Group's national footprint.

      During the previous financial year, Virtual contributed R21.7 million towards revenue and reported a profit before
      income tax of R0.9 million.

      If the Virtual acquisition took place at the start of the previous financial year, the revenue would have been R84.9
      million and profit before income tax would have been R3.1 million.

      Analysis of cash flows on acquisition

      Transaction costs of the acquisition (included in cash flows from operating activities)                                     (1 467)
      Net bank overdraft acquired with the business (included in cash flows from investing activities)                            (2 275)

      Transaction costs of R1.5 million were expensed and were included in non-trading expenses.

      A payment of R8.0 million of the purchase price, which was fully provided for in the previous financial year, was
      deferred and subject to the achievement of profit targets. During the 2018 financial year the deferred amount was paid.

 5    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      Adcock Ingram Private Limited (India) and 53.47% of Ayrton Drug Manufacturing Limited (Ayrton)
      in Ghana were disposed of on 14 October 2016 and 7 December 2016 respectively. The loss of
      control on disposal resulted in the foreign currency translation reserve relating to both entities
      being recycled to profit and loss during the previous financial year.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Adcock Ingram may, in this document, make certain statements that are not historical facts and relate to analyses and other information which are based on forecasts of
future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements may also relate to our future prospects, developments and business strategies. Examples of
such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding exchange rate fluctuations, volume growth, increases in market share, total shareholder
return and cost reductions. Words such as "believe", "anticipate", "expect", "intend", "seek", "will", "plan", "could", "may", "endeavour" and "project" and similar expressions are intended
to identify such forward-looking statements, but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent
risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and there are risks that the predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved.
If one or more of these risks materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Forward-looking
statements apply only as of the date on which they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
