TIIH                                                                            
TBS - Tiger Brands Limited - Group results and dividend declaration for the     
six months ended 31 March 2011                                                  
Tiger Brands Limited

Introduction                                                                    
These abridged results for the six months ended 31 March 2011 have been         
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, IAS    
34 - Interim Financial Reporting - and the Listings Requirements of the JSE     
Limited.                                                                        
Tiger Brands achieved headline earnings per share (HEPS) of 747,9 cents for     
the six months ended 31 March 2011, representing an increase of 12% compared    
to that achieved for the six months ended 31 March 2010. Headline earnings for  
the six months ended 31 March 2011 amounted to R1 186,0 million (2010: R1       
056,9 million). Earnings per share (EPS) increased by 13% to 748,1 cents per    
share.                                                                          
As advised previously to shareholders, Tiger Brands implemented its BEE Phase   
II transaction in October 2009. This transaction gave rise to a once-off        
charge in the six months to 31 March 2010 of R150,7 million after tax, which    
was disclosed as an abnormal item in the income statement. There was no         
corresponding charge in the six months to 31 March 2011. After excluding the    
impact of this once-off charge from the prior period results, HEPS for the six  
months ended 31 March 2011 reflects a decrease of 2% compared to that achieved  
in the corresponding period last year.                                          
Overview of results                                                             
Operating income for the six months ended 31 March 2011 declined by 3% on a 1%  
increase in turnover. The modest increase in turnover was influenced by price   
deflation in certain food commodities relative to pricing levels for the same   
period last year, the impact of promotional discounting in certain categories   
to restore volume growth, and a continuation of the difficult trading           
conditions experienced in the previous financial year.                          
The Group operating margin reduced to 15,0% from 15,7% for the same period      
last year. The Rice, Sorghum and Babycare businesses, as well as International  
& Exports (excluding Deciduous Fruit), achieved good operating results, while   
the Milling & Baking and Beverages businesses produced a moderate improvement   
in operating income. The remaining businesses recorded declines in operating    
income, with Snacks & Treats and Personal Care producing disappointing          
results. Within International & Exports, the sustained strength of the Rand     
continued to negatively impact the performance of the Deciduous Fruit           
business. The strong Rand also impacted on the translation of the results of    
the foreign operations Haco (Kenya) and Chococam (Cameroon).                    
The reduction in net financing costs to R11,9 million (2010: R48,4 million),    
was due to the continuing lower interest rate environment and a further         
decrease in Group borrowing levels. Good working capital management has         
enabled the Group to close the period in a net cash position of R166,0 million  
(2010: net debt of R888,6 million).                                             
Income from associates reflected an improvement of 28% compared to the          
corresponding period last year. Both Empresas Carozzi (24,4% held) and Oceana   
Group Limited ("Oceana") (44,8% held) contributed to this improvement, with     
Empresas Carozzi increasing its contribution to Tiger Brands` headline          
earnings by some 26% and Oceana by 10%.                                         
Oceana is separately listed on the JSE Limited and on 11 May 2011, reported a   
10% increase in headline earnings per share for the six months ended 31 March   
2011.                                                                           
The average tax rate, before abnormal items, increased to 31,9% (2010: 29,7%).  
The lower tax rate for the same period in 2010 was primarily due to a reduced   
STC charge as a result of the full distribution to shareholders in that period  
(i.e. the 2009 final distribution to shareholders, paid in January 2010) being  
effected by way of a reduction of capital out of share premium. In the current  
reporting period, only a portion of the 2010 final distribution to              
shareholders was paid out of share premium in January 2011, with the remaining  
portion paid out of distributable reserves.                                     
The net loss attributable to non-controlling interests of R9,7 million is       
largely due to the loss incurred by the Group`s Deciduous Fruit business,       
partially offset by the non-controlling interests` share of income for the      
current six months in respect of the two non-South African subsidiaries, Haco   
and Chococam.                                                                   
Review of operations                                                            
Continued weak consumer demand coupled with rising cost pressures, including    
higher fuel and utility costs, were largely responsible for the subdued         
results recorded by most categories. Margins were negatively impacted by        
increased competitor pricing pressure in some categories, while the ability to  
fully recover cost increases was constrained by weak consumer demand. In        
addition, with Easter being approximately three weeks later in the current      
year compared to the prior year, some retailers delayed a portion of their      
Easter buy-in to April which negatively impacted some business segments.        
DOMESTIC FOOD turnover grew by 1%, while operating income declined by 3%.       
The Grains segment increased operating income by 5%, notwithstanding a          
decrease in turnover of 2%. This was driven primarily by the Rice business      
which benefited from relatively stable dollar-based raw material prices and a   
stronger Rand.                                                                  
The Wheat Milling business, as well as the Albany bakery business, experienced  
a reduction in volumes due to the difficult trading environment, which was      
exacerbated by significant price discounting by competitors in the market       
place. However, the loss of volume was minimised as a result of the inherent    
strength of the Albany brand. The recently introduced range of Albany buns has  
been readily accepted by consumers. The previously announced upgrade of the     
Durban bakery, at a cost of approximately R109 million, is scheduled for        
completion in September 2011. The expansion of the Hennenman flour mill, at an  
estimated cost of R561 million, is proceeding according to schedule and is      
expected to be fully commissioned by the end of 2012. The Maize business was    
adversely affected by increased competitor activity as well as reduced          
consumption. Tastic, the Company`s premium rice brand, improved its market      
share, whilst Aunt Caroline rice volumes benefited from the lower cost of       
imported rice and the stronger Rand. The King Food business performed well,     
benefiting from lower sorghum raw material costs and a strong performance from  
Ace Instant porridge.                                                           
Volumes achieved by the Groceries business reflected a pleasing recovery        
compared to the same period last year. This was driven by lower net             
realisations in an effort to rebuild market share. Snacks & Treats`             
performance continued to disappoint with operating income declining by 42%      
compared to 2010, as pressure on consumer discretionary spending continued.     
The results were negatively impacted as pricing was adjusted to defend market   
share. In addition, an adverse sales mix in favour of lower margin products, a  
significant increase in marketing investment and the cost of restructuring due  
to changes in the sales and customer structure, contributed to the poor         
result. Good volume growth was achieved by the Smoothies, Jungle Energy Bar     
and TV Bar product lines. The Beverages category experienced a reduction in     
sales volumes, although operating income was marginally ahead of the            
comparative period as a result of the ongoing focus on costs. Energade          
continued to gain market share and remains the leading brand in the sports      
drinks sector.                                                                  
A reduction in core business volumes, caused by aggressive pricing on dealer    
owned brands and competition from low priced regional offerings, negatively     
impacted the Value Added Meat Products business. Despite this, the Enterprise   
brand was able to maintain its market share. The Out of Home business improved  
volumes significantly during the current six months, although selling prices    
were negatively affected by competitors increasing imports as a result of the   
strong Rand.                                                                    
HOME, PERSONAL AND BABYCARE (HPCB) produced a disappointing overall result,     
with operating income declining by 4% on a 4% increase in turnover. The         
performance at an operating income level was adversely affected by an increase  
in overhead costs, higher marketing spend and once-off restructuring costs.     
The Personal Care business experienced a decline in volumes due to aggressive   
competitor activity and pricing. Turnover grew by 1%, while operating income    
declined by 20%. This negative operating leverage was driven by the lower       
volumes, pressure on realisations and an under-recovery of increases in         
material input costs. In addition, there was a substantial increase in          
marketing spend which should stimulate volumes in the second half of the year.  
The Home Care business delivered strong volume growth, benefiting from          
competitive pricing and favourable weather conditions which assisted the        
performance of the household insecticides category. The DOOM and Peaceful       
Sleep brands were the primary drivers of volume growth during the period.       
Given the challenging environment, the Babycare business performed well during  
the period as mothers continued to place their trust in the Purity brand.       
INTERNATIONAL & EXPORTS comprises the Company`s Foreign Operations, Exports,    
as well as the Deciduous Fruit business. Their respective performances are      
reported on separately in the accompanying segmental analysis forming part of   
the interim results.                                                            
Exports achieved a pleasing performance, continuing to benefit from the         
focused expansion drive into the rest of Africa.                                
With regard to the Foreign Operations, the continuing strength of the Rand      
negatively affected the conversion of the results of Haco and Chococam, into    
Rand. Chococam`s performance was disappointing, with significant increases in   
raw material and packaging costs, as well as regional supply disruptions        
negatively impacting its results. However, Haco produced an impressive result   
for the period and achieved significant volume growth. Haco recently rebranded  
its corporate identity to Haco Tiger Brands (East Africa) to mark Tiger`s       
successful integration into Kenya and East Africa.                              
Operating losses incurred by the Deciduous Fruit business, Langeberg & Ashton   
Foods (67% held), amounted to R44,5 million (2010: R30,4 million loss) as the   
strong Rand severely affected profitability notwithstanding an improvement in   
international selling prices.                                                   
International expansion: Africa                                                 
The following is a brief update on the various corporate actions which were     
reported to shareholders at the time of release of the Company`s final results  
in November 2010.                                                               
- The acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Deli Foods Nigeria      
Limited, a company engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of biscuits for   
the Nigerian market, was finalised with effect from 4 April 2011 for a          
purchase consideration of R275,8 million.                                       
- The transaction with the East African Group of Companies of Ethiopia,         
relating to the formation of a new food and HPC joint venture which will        
operate in the Ethiopian market, was completed with effect from 29 April 2011,  
resulting in a cash injection by Tiger Brands Limited of R112,8 million for a   
51% shareholding in the new company. The principal activities of the joint      
venture comprise the manufacture and marketing of various home and personal     
care products, biscuits, flour and pasta, which categories previously formed    
part of the East African Group`s operations.                                    
The above two acquisitions are expected to generate a combined turnover of      
approximately R500 million in the first full year.                              
- The acquisition of a 49% interest in the food and beverage operations of UAC  
of Nigeria Plc (UAC) was completed with effect from 6 May 2011 for a purchase   
consideration of R417,2 million. The joint venture company, known as UAC        
Foods, holds food interests primarily in the branded savoury, snacks, dairy     
and beverages categories. The UAC businesses which constitute the joint         
venture, reported total turnover for the financial year ended 31 December 2010  
of Naira 10,5 billion, which equates to R477 million at the prevailing          
exchange rate.                                                                  
These acquisitions will have no material impact on the Company`s headline       
earnings or net asset value per share in the short term.                        
In addition, and as announced on SENS on 15 February 2011, the Company          
concluded an agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of Davita     
Trading (Pty) Limited. Davita is a South African manufacturer and exporter of   
powdered seasonings and beverage products with a presence in 28 countries       
across Africa and the Middle East. It achieved sales of R600 million for the    
twelve months ended 20 February 2011.                                           
Shareholders are advised that the Davita transaction was unconditionally        
approved by the Competition Tribunal on 26 May 2011. Following this approval    
and the fulfilment of all remaining suspensive conditions, the acquisition      
will become effective on 31 May 2011. The equity purchase price of R1 504,3     
million is subject to a working capital adjustment based on the closing         
audited balance sheet of Davita as at 31 May 2011.                              
The acquisition of Davita is expected to be earnings accretive with immediate   
effect. However, in the short term the impact on Tiger Brands` earnings,        
headline earnings and net asset value per share will not be significant.        
Interim dividend                                                                
The directors have declared an interim dividend of 281 cents per share, which   
represents an increase of 4% compared to the capital distribution of 270 cents  
per share declared on 17 May 2010.                                              
The Company`s stated policy of paying a total annual dividend based on a        
headline earnings cover of 2 times, remains in place.                           
Outlook                                                                         
Tiger Brands expects trading conditions to continue to remain challenging for   
the remainder of the current financial year.  Nevertheless, the Company is      
anticipated to benefit in the second six months from the efficiency             
improvements and other performance enhancing measures which have been           
implemented by management.                                                      
In line with its strategy, the Company continues to pursue value enhancing      
opportunities which will further increase its manufacturing and distribution    
footprint outside of South Africa.

The acquisition is in line with Tiger Brands` strategy to expand                
into the African continent and is seen as a first step in entering              
into this important market.
