PICK N PAY: IMPLEMENTATION OF IFRS 16: LEASES

Pick n Pay Stores Limited will hold a webcast briefing for shareholders and analysts at 09:00 today on the Group's adoption of the new International Financial
Reporting Standard IFRS 16: Leases (IFRS 16).

The briefing will provide stakeholders with a summary of IFRS 16 and, using the Group's published 2019 financial statements, will detail the implications
for the Group's future financial statements and  key performance metrics.
IFRS 16 is an accounting change. The standard has no impact on the Group's underlying economic model, the fundamentals of the Group's performance, its
revenues or cash flows. It does not alter the progress the Group has delivered against its plan, nor the Group's strategic objectives, or the overall
positive trajectory of its earnings to date.

The purpose of IFRS 16 is to align the accounting of leased assets with the accounting of owned assets. Pick n Pay has mainly pursued a leasehold property
strategy, and has a valuable leasehold store estate. This approach has given the Group greater flexibility in its investment and operating decisions, and
has allowed the Group to maintain low levels of debt and interest.

IFRS 16 requires the Group to report its predominantly leasehold estate as though it is freehold - through the introduction of theoretical lease liabilities 
and assets, and implied interest and depreciation charges. These accounting standard changes have a significant impact on the composition and presentation of
our balance sheet and income statement, and on gearing ratios and performance metrics.
IFRS 16 applies to the Group from the 2020 financial year onwards, and our interim results will be published under IFRS 16 on 22 October 2019. Pick n Pay
has adopted the full retrospective approach, effectively restating and recalibrating all previously published financial information and performance metrics
as if IFRS 16 had always applied. The full retrospective approach has been considerably more onerous than the alternative modified approach, but it
provides management and stakeholders with greater insight into the significant reporting impact of IFRS 16 and greater year-on-year comparability of 
reported financial performance.

BALANCE SHEET IMPACT OF IFRS 16

IFRS 16 brings the majority of the Group's long-term property, equipment, vehicle and other leases on to its balance sheet. The Group is now required to
recognise a lease liability at the inception of each qualifying lease, at a value equal to the present value of all future rent payments, and to capitalise
a corresponding "right-of-use" lease asset. The values of the right-of-use asset and lease liability reduce over the lease term, but not at the same rate.
The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight line basis over the  lease term, while the liability is reduced by future rent payments, net of an
implied interest charge.

In addition to its primary lease portfolio, the Group holds head-leases over strategic franchise sites.  These sites are sub-let to franchisees, with the
franchisees holding the right-of-use assets. IFRS 16 requires Pick n Pay to capitalise the present value of future rent receivable under its sub-lease
contracts as an "investment in a lease", and to recognise an equal and opposite lease liability in respect of the present value of future rent payments due
under the head-lease. The values of the investment in lease and related lease liability decrease at the same rate over the lease term, reduced by future
rental payments, net of an implied interest charge.

INCOME STATEMENT IMPACT OF IFRS 16

IFRS 16 removes the straight-line rent cost previously recognised in respect of leased assets, and replaces the expense with depreciation on leased assets
and an implied interest charge on outstanding lease liabilities.

Under IFRS 16, depreciation and interest are equal to rent paid over the lease term, and consequently the standard has no impact on the income statement
over the full term of the lease. However, depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, while interest is effectively
charged on the outstanding lease liability, which reduces over time.

The lease expense, under IFRS 16 is therefore front-loaded, with the implied interest paid being higher in the early part of each lease and reducing
towards the end of the lease as the outstanding liability reduces over time. As a result, the impact of IFRS 16 on the income statement at any given time
depends on the relative maturity of the lease portfolio. For a young portfolio, depreciation and interest are higher than the straight line rent cost
replaced, and IFRS 16 is dilutive to earnings. In a mature portfolio, depreciation and interest are lower than the straight line rent
cost replaced, and IFRS 16 is accretive to earnings.

In addition to the changes in respect of its primary lease portfolio, IFRS 16 changes the requirements for recognising the income and expense related to
its franchise head-leases. Previously, the Group recognised rent paid to landlords under head-lease agreements, with an equal and opposite rent received
from its franchisees. IFRS 16 replaces this rent received and rent paid, with interest received and interest paid, with no impact on earnings.

The restated 2019 financial results will form the prior period comparative numbers for the 52 weeks ending  February 2020, our first annual results to be 
published under IFRS 16.

Please refer to the tables provided in the Annexure A which set out the Group's restated balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement for 2019.

The impact of IFRS 16 on these previously published results can be summarised as follows:

For the 53 weeks ended 3 March 2019:

- Group turnover, cash flows and dividends paid are unaffected;
- Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), increases by R2.4 billion, with the removal of applicable net rent costs;
- Trading profit increases by R879.3 million, with the removal of applicable net rent costs, and the inclusion of R1.6 billion of depreciation in respect
  of right-of-use assets;
- The Group's exposure to US dollar rentals in Zambia has resulted in a forex cost of  R46.7 million recorded in FY19, as a result of a
  significant devaluation of the USD to the Zambian kwacha. Trading profit before forex increases by R926.0 million;
- Profit before tax, excluding capital items decreases by R311.1 million
- Headline earnings decreases by R219.1 million. This is due to the maturity of the Group's lease portfolio. At mid-way through the average lease
  term, interest and depreciation charges are higher than the rent cost replaced;
- An IFRS 16 lease liability of R15.4 billion has been raised, with the recognition of a R10.1 billion right-of-use asset, and a R2.1 billion investment in
  strategic franchise leases;
- The IFRS 16 balance sheet restatements, including related deferred tax asset adjustments, have reduced the net asset value (equity) on the balance sheet by
  R1.4 billion.

Significantly, the Group's reported total debt (net of cash) will move from R1.6 billion to R17.0 billion, inclusive of R15.4 billion of theoretical lease
liabilities. This is purely the accounting consequence of IFRS 16, and it is important to note that the position does not reflect, or alter, the Group's
careful and considered approach to long-term debt and its disciplined management of cash. The Group has no long-term debt, and its major short-term debt
providers have confirmed that the standard will not have any impact on the Group's risk profile, its liquidity and its ability to raise funds.
The Group generated almost R2.0 billion in free cash flow in 2019. IFRS 16 has no impact on the Group's strong cash flow, and as such, it will have no
impact on cash dividends returned to shareholders.

Today's IFRS 16 briefing will be provided by way of a live webcast, and include a short introduction from CEO Richard Brasher, and a presentation by
CFO, Lerena Olivier, with the opportunity for questions and answers. The link to the webcast can be found at www.corpcam.com/PicknPay25092019. All
presentation materials, including a recording of the event, will be available on our website at www.picknpayinvestor.co.za.

ANNEXURE B: PRO FORMA INFORMATION

Consistent with the presentation of our results for the period ended 3 March 2019, certain financial information presented constitutes
pro forma financial information.

Basis of Preparation: 52-week financial information
The Group manages its retail operations on a 52-week trading calendar where the reporting period always ends on a Sunday. To ensure calendar
alignment, a 53rd week of trading is required approximately every six years and as a result, the 3 March 2019 financial year included a 53rd week.

In order to provide useful and transparent comparative information for the adoption of IFRS 16: Leases, a pro forma 52-week restated result for the 2019
financial year is presented for comparison against the restated corresponding 52-week result for the 2018 financial year. The 52-week financial information
constitutes pro forma financial information.

The 52-week financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is the responsibility of the Board of directors of the Group. Due to its
nature, the 52-week financial information may not fairly represent the Group's financial position, changes in equity, results of operations and cash flows.
The 52-week financial information for the 52 weeks ended 24 February 2019 as presented, consists of the audited Group results for the 53 weeks to 3 March
2019, adjusted for the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 and the impact of the week from 25 February 2019 to 3 March 2019 (the 53rd week).

The 53rd week financial impact was calculated as follows:
- Revenue and related cost of sales adjusted for the week of 25 February 2019 to 3 March 2019.
- Other income and expenses related to the week based on an assessment of management information.
- The relevant amounts for the 53rd week have been extracted and recalculated from the Group's accounting records.
- The tax rate applied is equal to the Group's effective tax rate for the 53 weeks ended 3 March 2019.

The 53rd week financial impact as calculated, in the opinion of the directors of the Group, fairly reflects the result of the week of 25 February 2019 to 
3 March 2019.

The table below presents the impact of the adoption of IFRS 16: Leases on the pro forma Group profit for the 52 weeks ended 24 February 2019.
