Rainbow Chicken Limited (RCL) Interim results 6 month period ended 31 December 2011 21 February 2012
Introduction • During the prior year RCL changed its financial year-end to 30 June to align with its holding company, Remgro Limited • This presentation covers the results for the 6 month period to December 2011 • Results comparison is less meaningful as it is compared against previously published interims being 6 months to September 2010 which does not include peak December trading quarter • A perspective is however provided of a like period comparison across key financial lines
2011 Statutory Highlights(Note: current period to December, comparatives to September) HEBITDA + 13.3% Revenue + 15.8% Headline earnings +25.0% Operating margin + 0.7% Rm Rm 3917,5 3384,4 3360,5 394,8 3326,7 348.4 305,5 300,3 2008 2009 2010 2011 2008 2009 2010 2011 Rm % 7.7 202,1 7.4 169.8 161,7 7.0 125.8 5.3 2008 2009 2010 2011 2008 2009 2010 2011
Overview Market Conditions What has RCL done? Consumer demand still under pressure despite lower interest rates Chicken imports up 67% for 6 months to December, now estimated at 15.7% of local market Rand depreciated from R6.96 at September 2010 to R8.07 at December 2011 Average spot maize price 66% higher than comparable period Nominal chicken price growth Customers in retail and foodservice markets are consolidating their supply chains either by investing and managing it themselves or by partnering third party logistics service providers. This trend is likely to extend to frozen categories as well Delivered a stable margin through difficult market conditions which reinforces strategic focus as appropriate Added value component of chicken business continues to grow Rainbow acquired Bush Valley processing facility in Tzaneen, 150k birds per week and scalable Vector took on PnP’s inland frozen distribution
Interim Highlights Statutory Dec 2011 Sept 2010 %
Segmental Analysis • First time reflection of Vector as a separate segment • Market related charges across all services by Vector to Rainbow only implemented in July 2011 so comparatives are not meaningful
Market Conditions - Yellow maize (SAFEX) • Summary: • Average market price for yellow maize increased by 66% vs. the comparable 6 months to December • Context: • Last year SA had high stock levels compared to previous years. • SA maize was cheap relative to the rest of the world, drawing interest from international buyers. • Large amounts of maize was sold to overseas destinations leading to depletion of local stocks. • The lower maize supplies, together with firm international maize prices and a weakening of the Rand caused local maize prices to increase significantly. • Then these higher local maize prices became uncompetitive against international maize and local and international wheat which replaced local maize in diets . • Looking forward: • Indications are that local new crop maize prices will be softer going forward, but dependant on continued precipitation . • Increased plantings are expected to commence in the USA and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere which will lead to replenishment of stocks. Lower international prices are projected towards the end of calendar 2012. * 15 month period, increase for this period represents simple average of 15 months vs.12 months in prior period.
Market Conditions - Soya (CBOT) • Summary: • Average CBOT soya meal price decreased by 2% vs. the comparable 6 months to December • Context: • More recently, and up until September 2011, prices had been firm trading in a range of $340 - $395 • The bullishness was on the back of a typical USA “weather” market, exaggerated by tight USA carry-out stocks • Poor bean sales by farmers in both USA and Argentina was also price supportive • The sharp sell-off from early September 2011 was as a result of weakening demand, world economic concerns, a firmer US$ and poor USA bean exports • Prices remained under pressure into December 2011 as a result of a further decline in meal demand due to substitution of maize with wheat in various parts of the world * 15 month period, increase for this period represents simple average of 15 months vs.12 months in prior period.
Market Conditions - Exchange rate • Although only 7% weaker on average than the comparable 6 months, the Rand weakened materially in this interim period • The Rand weakened to the R7.20:US$ resistance level in late September 2011 before weakening dramatically to trade the R7.75- R8.40:US$ range with considerable volatility • This was a consequence of general risk aversion mainly due to Eurozone debt woes • As the major feed ingredients in South Africa (maize, soy) track import/export parity, the foreign exchange exposure is significant • Given the current world economic uncertainty, the high volatility in the Rand is expected to remain for some time * 15 month period, increase for this period represents simple average of 15 months vs.12 months in prior period.

Financial review Revenue + 15.8% • Revenue increased by 15.8% to R3.9 billion largely as a consequence of the higher trading quarter included in the 6 month period ended 31 December 2011 • Comparative split not available • Intersegment revenue is the reconciling difference to Group total. 3917,5 653,0 3384,4 3360,5 3326,7 3582,0 2871,4 Group Vector Rainbow 2008 2009 2010 2011 2007 (Note: current period to December, comparatives to September)
Financial review HEBITDA (pre IAS39) +11.6% • Chicken prices have remained under pressure due to increased imports and consumers’ lower disposable income. Operational efficiencies implemented have limited the impact of significant feed and utility cost increases on margin • Overall agriculture performance has demonstrated pleasing improvement for the six month period, after difficult weather conditions during the May to July period coupled with an eight week strike in Rainbow over the June year end • IAS 39 impact in current and prior year not material 9.9% 9.3% 9.1% 9.0% Margin % 388,7 348,4 305,5 Rm 300,3 2008 2009 2010 2011 (Note: current period to December, comparatives to September)
Financial review Cash flow OB - opening balance WC - working capital Int - net interest Div - dividends OP - operating profit CB - closing balance • Increase in working capital funding requirements explained by the peak December trading period • Higher December sales resulted in an increase in trade and other receivables • Increase in inventory offset by increase in payables

Financial review Comparison to 6 months to December 2010 • Growths are more moderate than September comparative. • Growths still positive despite difficult trading conditions.
Brand Highlights Rainbow Mainstream Chicken • The South African mainstream chicken category has had to contend with significant feed cost increases • This on the back of record high sustained imports which have caused oversupply • Consequentially during the lower demand winter months prices and margin were adversely affected, although in the higher demand last quarter the market was better balanced and prices improved • A significant risk remains as imports remain high into January
Brand Highlights Added Value Performance Rainbow owned further processed brands • Added value ranges have continued their good performance • The chilled processed meats sector of this was underpinned by the existing Rainbow Simply Chicken market leading Polony and Viennas and Rainbow Family Polony, but was boosted by a further 30% volume through the launches of Rainbow Red Viennas, French Polony and IQF Russians • The new Wolwehoek further processed facility has enabled the strong growth +
Brand Highlights Added Value Performance Woolworths • Strong collaboration between Rainbow and Woolworths saw good volume growth for Woolworths in the W Cape • Quick Service Restaurants have seen a return to better volume growths after a difficult 18 months • Increased store openings as well as increasing transactions per store have facilitated this FoodSolutions Overall, the above three added value categories grew their contribution from 47% of Rainbow turnover in June to 53% in December 2011
