TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Shareholders are hereby advised that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that for the six
months ended 31 August 2022, Altron will report basic earnings per share for the Continuing
Operations within a range of 36 cents and 38 cents, being an increase of between 300% and 322%
when compared to basic earnings per share of 9 cents in the prior comparative period.
Headline earnings per share for the Continuing Operations will be reported between a range of 40
cents and 42 cents, being an increase of 264% to 282% when compared to headline earnings per
share of 11 cents in the prior comparative period for the Continued Operations.
Continuing Operations, particularly Altron Managed Solutions, Altron Karabina, Altron FinTech and
Altron Arrow, executed well despite well-documented challenges within our economy and markets.
The performance of Lawtrust, acquired in October 2021, has positively contributed to the
performance of the Continuing Operation for the first six months of the current year.
From February 2022, the Board reclassified Altron Arrow, which was previously reported in
Discontinued Operations, to Continuing Operations, as the criteria of IFRS 5 were no longer met,
which also contributes positively to the current year’s performance.
The Altron Group will report basic earnings per share between 23 cents and 25 cents, which is an
increase of between 330% and 350% compared to the loss per share of (10) cents for the
comparative period. Headline earnings per share is expected to be between 33 cents and 35 cents,
which is an increase of between 450% and 483% compared to headline earnings of 6 cents for the
prior comparative period.
