TRADING UPDATE
Shareholders are advised that Masonite?s profit from operations, excluding the
adjustment in fair value of biological assets, for the period ended 30 June 2012 is
expected to be within 10% of the comparative period in 2011.
Earnings per share and headline earnings per share are expected to be 30% to 40%
lower than that of the prior comparative period, mainly due to the impact of lower
timber prices on the fair value of biological assets.
The information in this trading update has not been reviewed or reported on by
Masonite?s auditors.
The results are expected to be released towards the end of September 2012.
