Executive review of our performance 

Overview of the period 

The Invicta Group has managed to grow revenue in a tough environment by a commendable 5%. 

As world economic and currency volatility continues to dominate, the Group continues to consolidate and strengthen its 
operations in the key market sectors in which it operates. 

Group performance 

Operational overview 

Operations comprise: 
- ESG (Engineering Solutions Group) - distributor of engineering products (e.g. bearings, belts, tools, electric motors, 
 hydraulics etc.), technical services and solutions. 
- CEG (Capital Equipment Group) - distributor of agricultural machinery, construction and earthmoving machinery, forklifts 
 and related spare parts, including Kian Ann Engineering, which is based in Singapore. 

Revenue has grown by a commendable 5% to R5,28 billion and operating profit before foreign exchange costs declined by 11% 
to R403 million for reasons detailed below. 
 
Shareholders are referred to a SENS announcement on 27 September 2018, wherein shareholders were advised that 
settlement had been reached with the South African Revenue Service ("SARS"), in terms of which Invicta would pay a total 
amount of R750 million in respect of a taxation dispute, over the course of four years. This resulted in Invicta raising an 
additional specific taxation expense of R200 million during the current financial year, which fell into the period under review, 
resulting in the settlement amount being fully provided for at 30 September 2018. 

Despite the additional specific taxation expense, the Group still managed to post a profit for the period of R58 million. 
Excluding this specific taxation expense, the headline earnings would have been R202 million, 17% lower than the comparative 
period, which is reflective of the challenging domestic environment. 

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the reporting period were healthy at R1 billion, up 99% from the comparative period. 
Cash generated by operations of R91 million was R20 million down on the comparative period. 

Pro forma financial information 

The pro forma financial information below has been prepared for illustrative purposes only to provide information on how the 
specific taxation expense has impacted the financial results of the Group. Because of its nature, the pro forma financial 
information may not be a fair reflection of the Group's results of operation, financial position, changes in equity or cash flows. 

The underlying information used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information has been prepared using the 
accounting policies that comply with International Financial Reporting Standards. These are consistent with those applied in 
the unaudited condensed consolidated results for the period ended 30 September 2018. 

No other adjustments have been made to the pro forma financial information. 

The directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria specified 
in the JSE Listings Requirements. 

The effect of the specific taxation expense on our condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive 
income is as follows:

Discontinued operations 

Last year, the BSG division (consisting of the MacNeil and Tiletoria group of companies) was sold, effective 30 September 2017. 
Shareholders are referred to a SENS announcement in this regard dated 10 October 2017, wherein it was noted that the 
purchase consideration was subject to a potential further maximum adjustment of R84 million (60% of which will be 
attributable to Invicta), up or down, based on the EBITDA of BSG for the financial year ending 30 September 2018. Invicta has 
not had any formal communication from BSG in this regard. Shareholders will be advised of the outcome of this when it has 
been finalised. 

MacNeil Plastics is no longer accounted for as held for sale and has consequently been reconsolidated into the statement of 
profit and loss for all periods. However, in terms of IFRS, in the statement of financial position, the assets and liabilities are 
reflected as held for sale in the comparative periods. The relevant amounts are not material - net asset value in the 
comparative period was R64 million. 

ESG 

The Engineering Solutions Group (ESG) has had a strong half year against the back drop of a still relatively uncertain industrial 
and mining sector. Revenue grew by a more than respectable 13% to R2,56 billion as the acquisition of Fenner gained traction 
and the core consumables business performed strongly. 

Operating profit before foreign exchange movements grew by 3% to R208 million due to a lower gross profit as a result of 
currency and market related pricing pressures. 

The consolidation of the central warehouse and logistics hub continues to take central focus with inventory efficiencies set to 
come through by year end. As world demand for commodities and industrial product has increased, lead times from suppliers 
have moved out substantially, resulting in larger stock holdings to compensate for this, which has offset efficiencies achieved 
through the BMG World facility in Johannesburg. This is, however, getting the attention of management and a plan to reduce 
inventories is in place. 

The acquisition of the Forge Industrial Group (comprising Toolquip and Allied, F & H Machine Tools and Belt Brokers), with 
effect from 3 September 2018, is in the process of being bedded down and all integration expenditure is expected to be 
concluded by the financial year end. Contribution to revenue from these businesses is expected to be R400 million per annum. 

CEG 

CEG struggled to maintain the strong performance levels achieved in the prior comparative period with revenue declining by 
1,5% to R2,52 billion. 

Operating profit before foreign exchange movements declined by 14% to R187,2 million, mainly as a result of poor conditions 
in the domestic capital equipment sector, particularly with low demand for large kW tractors and combine harvesters in the 
agricultural sector and low expenditure on infrastructure, which affected the earthmoving and construction machinery 
divisions. It is also worth remembering that CEG relinquished the New Holland agricultural machinery agency with effect from 
1 June 2017. As a result the comparative period's revenue includes related revenue from New Holland products for two 
months. Overheads increased abnormally due to increased provisions being raised in CEG on used agricultural equipment 
stock as well as on implementing increased debtor provisioning. 

CEG continued to hold strong cash balances throughout the period, which has helped it further contribute to the Group's 
interest income. 

Kian Ann continues to perform well and has again performed above the prior period at both the revenue and operating profit 
level, as the world market and world economic activity tracks ahead of South Africa. 

Strategic focus and prospects 

The Group's strategic focus remains unchanged: maximizing current operations, ensuring good cashflows and all the while 
seeking suitable acquisitions. 

The management and board of Invicta have taken a decision to shelve the delisting of Invicta and simultaneous inward listing 
of Invicta Global Holdings Plc ("Invicta Global") on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, whereby Invicta Global would have 
acquired all of the ordinary and preference shares in Invicta, in return for the issue of the equivalent (i.e. one for one) number 
of ordinary and preference shares in Invicta Global. 

This decision was taken given the current domestic and international micro and macro-economic climate, including inter alia, 
the uncertainty around Brexit, unstable global trade and market volatility. The board feels that it is in the best interests of the 
company and its shareholders to shelve the above process until conditions have improved. This will, however, not stop the 
Group from its global growth strategy and it will continue to expand its operations internationally. 

The Group remains resolute in its efforts to produce results above market benchmarks and its competitors. Trading conditions 
in South Africa are expected to remain challenging for the next 12 months until after the general election in May next year. 

The businesses that make up the Group have strong fundamentals and enjoy significant competitive advantage. Management 
will continue to consolidate the strengths of the current businesses that make Invicta one of the leading suppliers of industrial 
consumable products, capital equipment and spare parts in southern Africa and South East Asia. 

Any forward looking statement in this announcement has not been reviewed nor reported on by the Company's auditors. 

Changes to the board and board committees 

The board is pleased to announce that Mr. LR Sherrell has been appointed to the audit committee on a temporary basis with 
effect from 16 November 2018. The board is in the process of appointing a new independent non-executive director to serve 
on the audit committee, which will bring its composition back in line with the recommendations of King IV. Ms. R Naidoo 
resigned effective 25 September 2018 as an independent non-executive director. 

Dividend policy 

The board further advises that it has declared an ordinary dividend of 50 cents per share, consistent with the prior dividend 
payment. The normal dividend policy of a dividend cover ratio of 3.5 times at interim results, adjusted to 2.75 times at year-
end, is expected to resume by year-end, contingent upon Group cashflows. 

Appreciation 

The board is cognizant of the challenging economic and operational environments in which the Group operates and wishes to 
thank all management and staff once again for the dedication and perseverance in getting the job done. 

The board is confident that, with the strengths the Group possesses and the strategic decisions that the board will take, the 
Group will continue to deliver sustainable value to all stakeholders.

Re-presentation of discontinued operations 

The MacNeil Plastics business ("the business") was classified and accounted for as held for sale for the reporting periods 
ended 30 September 2017 and 31 March 2018. The sale of the business is subsequently no longer viewed as highly probable 
and as a result the business has not been classified as a disposal company held for sale for the reporting period ended 
30 September 2018.  

The results of the business previously presented in discontinued operations have been re-presented in accordance with 
IFRS 5 (par 36) and the impact on the reported financial results has been disclosed below:

The levels are classified as follows: 

Level 1 - fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets or liabilities 
Level 2 - fair value is determined using directly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs 
Level 3 - fair value is determined on inputs not based on observable market data
