Trading Statement
1. Headline Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations
A strong operating performance in the southern African Equipment business and
the non recurrence of STC on the 2007 special dividend are expected to result in
an increase in headline earnings per share from continuing operations by between
100% and 110% for the half year to March 2008 over the comparable figure of 169
cents for the prior period. Excluding STC on the 2007 special dividend, headline
earnings per share is expected to be up by between 45% and 55%.
2. Information Provided in Terms of the JSE Listings Requirements
In terms of Section 3.4(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements:
* Reported earnings per share is expected to increase by 25% to 35%,
* Reported headline earnings per share (including both continuing and
discontinued operations) of 467 cents in the half year to March 2007 is
expected to decline by 15% to 25%.
These earnings measures are not comparable to the prior period due to the
unbundling of PPC, the disposal of Melles Griot, the unbundling of Freeworld
Coatings and the disposal of the Laboratory business.
This financial information has not been reviewed or reported on by Barloworld`s
auditors. Barloworld Limited expects to announce its results for the half year
to March 2008 on 12 May 2008.
