TRADING STATEMENT
Distell is currently finalising its results for the six months ended 31 December
2006, which should be released on or about 14 February 2007.
In this regard, shareholders are advised that basic earnings per share and
headline earnings per share will be between 55% and 65% higher than the
corresponding reporting period of the previous year. Adjusted headline earnings
per share, which is headline earnings excluding the non-recurring BEE share-
based payment incurred during the previous financial year, will be between 20%
and 30% higher than the corresponding period of the previous year.
This is largely attributable to an improvement in trading income and reduced
financing costs.
