Sanlam Trading Statement
Strong growth in new business volumes and a sound operational performance,
coupled with favourable South African equity markets during the reporting
period, contributed to overall satisfactory Group results for the first six
months of 2006.
The interim results for 2006 are due for release on 7 September 2006. It is
expected that Core earnings will be marginally higher than in 2005 while
Headline earnings will be between 13% and 18% up on the comparable period in
2005. Due to the reduction in the weighted average number of shares in issue as
a result of the share buy back programme, the increase in Headline earnings per
share is expected to be between 33% and 38%.
Shareholders are advised that the financial information referred to in this
trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by Sanlam"s auditors.
