TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of Listings Requirements of the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa,
PPC is required to issue a trading statement as soon as it is satisfied that a
reasonable degree of certainty exists that its financial results for the period
to be reported on next will differ by at least 20% from the financial results of
the previous corresponding period.
Domestic cement demand has continued to be buoyant throughout the second half of
PPC`s financial year and will result in strong growth in sales volumes for the
full year.
Accordingly, PPC advises that both its headline earnings and attributable
earnings per share for the full year ended 30 September 2004 are expected to be
between 20% and 30% higher than that of the previous corresponding period.
This forecast financial information has not been reviewed or reported on by
PPC`s auditors. The results for the full year ended 30 September 2004 are
expected to be published on or about 4 November 2004.
