TRADING STATEMENT
Distell is currently finalising its results for the twelve months ended 30
June 2007, which should be released on or about 22 August 2007.
In this regard, shareholders are advised that basic earnings per share will
be between 55% and 65% higher and headline earnings per share will be
between 40% and 50% higher than the corresponding reporting period of the
previous year. Adjusted headline earnings per share, which is headline
earnings excluding the non-recurring BEE share-based payment incurred
during the previous financial year, will be between 25% and 35% higher than
the corresponding period of the previous year.
This is largely attributable to an improvement in trading income and
reduced financing costs.
