TRADING UPDATE
In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, companies are required to
publish a trading update as soon as they are reasonably certain that the
financial results for the current reporting period will be more than 20%
different from that of the previous corresponding period.
In light of the aforementioned requirements, Shoprite expects diluted
headline earnings per share on continued operations to be between 20% to 30%
higher than those of the prior comparative period.
Both basic and diluted earnings per share and headline earnings per share on
all operations for the six months ended 31 December 2006 are expected to be
between 25% to 35% higher than those of the prior comparative period. This
is as a result of capital profits in the period under review and a loss
incurred in discontinued operations during the prior period.
Shareholders are advised that the above information has not been reviewed or
reported on by Shoprite`s external auditors. The company`s results for the
six months ended 31 December 2006 are expected to be released on or about 20
February 2007.
