TRADING STATEMENT
Distell is currently finalising its results for the six months ended 31 December
2011, which should be released on or about 15 February 2012.
In this regard, shareholders are advised that earnings per share and headline
earnings per share are likely to be between 20% and 25% higher than the
corresponding reporting period of the previous year.
This is largely attributable to an improvement in operating profit, mainly as a
result of increased sales volumes and the favourable impact of a weaker Rand
against all major currencies.
The forecast financial information on which this trading statement is based has
not been reviewed and reported on by the Company`s external auditors.
