Trading Statement
Mpact Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2004/025229/06)
JSE share code: MPT ISIN: ZAE000156501
(“Mpact” or “the Company”)
TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”), companies are required to
publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied that a reasonable degree of
certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported on will differ by 20% or
more from the financial results of the previous corresponding period.
Estimated finance costs are lower as a result of net debt having been substantially reduced
as part of the capital restructuring prior to listing on the JSE in July 2011. This, together with
improved trading performance for the year ended 31 December 2012, will result in basic
earnings per share (“EPS”) and headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) exceeding the
previous corresponding period by more than 20%.
An EPS and HEPS range cannot be accurately estimated at this stage and shareholders are
advised that a further trading statement will be issued in due course to provide earnings
forecast ranges for EPS and HEPS as required by the JSE Listings Requirements.
Shareholders are advised that the financial information on which this trading statement is
based has not been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s external auditors.
