Commentary

Overview
The group achieved solid results for the six months ended 31 March 2016, notwithstanding the significant
inflationary cost pressures experienced in the Milling and Baking businesses. Soft commodity prices, particularly in Maize 
and Sorghum, were severely impacted by rand weakness and the effects of the drought in Southern Africa. The balance of the
group?s domestic businesses reflected a solid underlying performance, while the  International segment benefited from the
turnaround of Haco Tiger Brands (Haco) and a strong performance from the Deciduous Fruit (LAF) business. 

The group?s interest in Tiger Branded Consumer Goods Plc (TBCG), formerly Dangote Flour Mills Pls, was disposed of with effect
from 25 February 2016. Consequently, TBCG has been treated as a discontinued operation in these results, with the
comparative information restated accordingly. 

Group turnover from continuing operations increased by 9% to R15,9 billion (2015: R14,6 billion), while operating
income before abnormal items and IFRS 2 charges increased by 7% to R2,1 billion (2015: R1,9 billion). This was achieved 
notwithstanding  a 23% increase in marketing investment from R409 million to R502 million, in line with the group?s strategic 
objective to sustain the strength of its brands. 

Income from associates of R371 million, which includes a capital profit of R72 million relating to the disposal of
certain assets by Carozzi, increased by 56% compared to the prior year, reflecting a strong underlying performance by all
of the associate companies. 

Net financing costs of R118 million (2015: R116 million), which are after foreign exchange gains of R32 million
relating to foreign cash holdings and loan balances, reflect the higher domestic interest rates in the current period. The
comparative figure of R116 million has been restated to include the effect of foreign exchange losses of R5 million on
foreign cash holdings and loan balances. 

Profit before tax from continuing operations increased by 15% to R2,3 billion (2015: R2,0 billion). Attributable
earnings, which increased by 8%, were impacted by a significantly higher effective tax rate in the current period of 30,6%
(2015: 25,9%), as well as the outside shareholder?s share of losses incurred by Haco in the prior year changing to a share
of profit in the current period.

Earnings per share from continuing operations increased by 7% to 1 021 cents (2015: 954 cents) while headline earnings
per share from continuing operations was in line with the prior period at 978 cents (2015: 975 cents).

Including discontinued operations, total earnings per share increased by 26% to 1049 cents (2015: 832 cents) while total 
headline earnings per share increased by 14% to 975 cents (2015: 853 cents).

Operating performance
Grains
Turnover in the Grains division increased by 10% to R6,2 billion (2015: R5,6 billion), while operating income declined
by 1% from R890 million to R881 million. The Millbake wheat value chain posted unchanged earnings while there was a
decline in the contribution from Maize and Sorghum. The period under review was characterised by significant inflation in
raw material inputs and intense competition, which adversely impacted volumes and margins. Marketing investment increased
by 36% to R173 million (2015: R127 million), driving visibility and brand awareness in an extremely competitive
environment.

Overall volume within the Milling and Baking categories declined by 2%, driven primarily by Maize and Sorghum.
However, turnover increased by 9% to R4,3 billion (2015: R3,9 billion), mainly due to the effects of inflation, while operating
income declined by 4% to R710 million (2015: R736 million). 

Other Grains reflected solid growth, increasing total volumes by 4% and operating income by 11% to R171 million 
(2015: R154 million).

Consumer Brands - Food
The Consumer Brands Food businesses delivered a satisfactory performance in the period under review, other than the
Snacks & Treats category. Turnover increased by 8% to R5,8 billion (2015: R5,3 billion) while operating income grew by 4%
to R609 million (2015: R585 million). These businesses were not immune to the significant cost pressures resulting 
from the weaker rand. Careful management of price positioning in a competitive market resulted in good volume growth in the 
Groceries, Beverages, Out of Home and Value Added Meat Product categories and operating income for
these categories grew by 11%. The aggregate profit growth for the Consumer Brands Food businesses of 4%, was negatively
impacted by the under performance of Snacks & Treats where operating income declined by 12%.

The Groceries business continued on its path to recovery and delivered a strong operating performance, underpinned by
good volume. 

Volumes in Snacks & Treats declined by 3%, while turnover remained flat at R1,1 billion as the sugar category came
under increasing competitive pressure during the period. The business faced a number of technical challenges in the Gums
and Jellies plant, which resulted in supply constraints. This, together with an unfavourable sales mix, resulted in a 12%
decline in operating income to R147 million (2015: R167 million). 

The Beverages business achieved strong top-line growth of 17% to R758 million (2015: R648 million), which was
underpinned by excellent volume growth across the Oros, Energade and Rose?s brands. Operating income grew by 10% to 
R105 million (2015: R96 million), reflecting increasing pressure on margins due to above inflationary increases in raw material
costs which had to be partially absorbed to counter intense competitive activity. 

The Value Added Meat Products (VAMP) business delivered a pleasing performance, with turnover up 3% to R1,1 billion
(2015: R1,1 billion) and operating income up 10% to R77 million (2015: R70 million), primarily attributable to improved
pricing and disciplined cost control.

Home, Personal Care and Baby (HPCB)
HPCB?s strong performance was driven mainly by the Home Care and Baby categories, with overall turnover increasing by
13% to R1,3 billion (2015: R1,2 billion) and operating income increasing by 18% to R272 million (2015: R231 million). 

The Home Care category (excluding Stationery) produced an excellent performance and achieved top-line growth of 27%.
This was underpinned by exceptional volume growth within the Pest, Sanitary and Air Care segments, due to strong market
demand, expansion of in-store presence and optimal pricing. Operating income increased by 115% to R103 million 
(2015: R48 million), benefiting from the increase in volumes and a favourable product mix. 

Purity maintained its leading brand position in the homogenised baby food segment, increasing its share of the fast
growing pouch segment, which now accounts for around 8% of total category volumes. Volumes declined as a result 
of lower promotional discounts compared to the prior period as well as down-trading within the cereals segment 
in favour of more affordable soft porridges. Turnover for the Baby category increased by 9% to R443 million 
(2015: R407 million), while operating income increased by 13% to R115 million (2015: R102 million).

Volumes in the Personal Care category were negatively affected by increased competitor activity which resulted in
unchanged turnover of R303 million compared to the corresponding prior period (2015: R300 million). Operating income
declined by 38% to R47 million (2015: R75 million), impacted by pressure on volumes, an unfavourable sales mix and a
significantly higher marketing spend of R35 million (2015: R19 million). 

Exports and International
Total turnover for the Exports and International businesses rose by 8% to R2,6 billion (2015: R2,5 billion), while
operating income increased by 34% to R292 million (2015: R219 million), largely driven by the profit recovery at Haco. 

Chococam achieved excellent growth in operating income (up 11% in constant currency terms), driven by strong volume
growth and tight cost management, despite significantly higher raw material costs. In rand terms, Chococam?s operating
income grew by 33% to R68 million, benefiting from the effects of the weak rand.

Both of the East African businesses, Kenyan-based Haco and Ethiopian-based EATBI, reported strong volume growth during
the period. Following last year?s losses, Haco achieved a profit turnaround while EATBI improved its operating
performance in a difficult macro-economic environment.

Deli Foods, which is based in Nigeria, continues to face a tough economic environment, with the constraints on
disposable incomes limiting the ability to recover the significant increase in raw material costs due to the devaluation 
of the naira.

The Exports business was negatively impacted by local currency devaluation and foreign currency shortages in a number
of African countries, resulting in a slowdown in customer demand. Also contributing to the lower turnover was the impact
of reduced sales into Mozambique which recommenced in November 2015, following the appointment of a new distributor.

The Deciduous Fruit business (LAF) achieved 3% volume growth and 2% pricing inflation in foreign currency terms.
Partly as a result of rand weakness, turnover grew by 27% to R808 million (2015: R636 million), while operating income
increased by 153% to R93 million (2015: R37 million). 

Cash flow and capital expenditure
Cash generated from operations improved by 31% to R1,9 billion, due to improved working capital management
notwithstanding the adverse  impact of inflation on inventory and debtor levels. Capital expenditure incurred during the 
period amounted to R257 million (2015: R363 million). Overall, net interest-bearing debt was reduced by R1,1 billion, primarily 
as a result of the disposal of TBCG.

Interim dividend 
The company has declared an interim dividend of 363 cents per share for the six months ended 31 March 2016,
which represents an increase of  7% compared to the previous interim dividend of 339 cents per share. Shareholders are
referred to the dividend announcement below for further details.

Outlook
The outlook for the balance of the year remains challenging, with downside risk to the macro-economic environment, 
both in South Africa and in a number of African markets, likely to add further pressure on consumers. This
will be exacerbated by increased inflationary pressures in the second half, when the full impact of the rand?s depreciation
on the group?s domestic cost base will be felt. Against this background, we remain focused on the quality and strength
of our brands and on our ability to deliver value to our consumers in a cost-effective manner. The key challenge will be
to maintain volume momentum notwithstanding price increases that are currently being taken to partly offset the cost
pressures referred to above.

           The preparation of these results has been supervised by O Ighodaro, Chief Financial Officer of Tiger Brands Limited.                       
                                                                                                                               
           The condensed group interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 March 2016 have been prepared 
           in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the IASB, the South African Companies Act No 71 of 2008 
           and the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited. These statements have not been audited or reviewed.                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                          
           The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with 
           those applied in preparation of the group?s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015. 
           A number of segments comprising international entities are included in the ?International Operations? portion of ?Exports 
           and International? as they individually do not meet the qualitative thresholds indicated in IFRS 8 Operating Segments. The 
           majority of the group?s financial instruments measured at fair value in terms of IFRS 13, are noted as level 1 hierarchy, 
           which are valued based on quoted market prices.

          Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested for impairment annually (as at 30 September) and when 
          circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired. The group?s impairment tests are based on the value-in-use 
          calculations. The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different cash generating units were 
          disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2015. No impairment was 
          recognised at 31 March 2016 relating to goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets.

             All foreign exchange gains and losses relating to revaluation of foreign cash balances and loans of a funding 
             nature have been accounted for as finance related costs (refer note 8) and thus reclassified from operating 
             income and into finance costs (retrospective application with comparatives restated to reflect the reclassification). 
             The impact on the comparatives is as follows:
