TRADING STATEMENT
International industrial brand management company Barloworld will release its
results for the year ended 30 September 2004 on Wednesday 17 November 2004.
Headline earnings per share are expected to be 35 to 45% above the comparable
headline earnings last year.
The main factors which have favourably impacted headline earnings are improved
operating profit margins, lower adverse fair value adjustments on financial
instruments, the beneficial effect on finance costs of lower average South
African interest rates and the write back of a provision made in 2002 for the
closure of one of the company`s South African pension funds.
The above earnings information has not been reviewed by Barloworld`s auditors.
