TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements (“Listings Requirements”), issuers are required to
publish a trading statement as soon as they are reasonably certain that the financial results for the
current reporting period will differ by more than 20% from those of the previous corresponding period.
Accordingly, Metair hereby advises that it expects the Group’s headline earnings and earnings per share
for the financial year ending 31 December 2013 to be at least 20% lower than those reported for the
previous corresponding period ended 31 December 2012.
The decrease in earnings is primarily attributable to the negative effects of the 8 week industry wide
strike and the transaction costs incurred during the Mutlu acquisition. The forecast earnings do not take
into account any earnings attributable to the Mutlu Group.
Further detailed guidance regarding the results for the year ending 31 December 2013 will be published
once the Group obtains additional certainty in this regard.
It is anticipated that the Group’s results will be published towards the end of March 2014.
The information contained in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the
Group’s auditors.
By order of the Board.
