Strong performances from: Tobacco interests +22.5% Financial services +14.4% Off-set by: Mining interests -6.1% Industrial interests -1.5% Segmental headline earnings performance September 2005 September 2004
Highlights R&R’s contribution to headline earnings increased by 22.5% and was mainly due to Remgro’s higher indirect interest in BAT as well as BAT’s strong results BAT’s attributable profit increased by 21.1% in sterling as a result of good organic growth and strong performances by all regions The rand was also stable and only appreciated by 0.3% Tobacco
Remgro’s effective interest in BAT increased from 9.4% in September 2004 to 10.2% mainly as a result of the investment in participation securities issued by R&R Holdings BAT’s operating profit was 43% lower due to the impact of the £1 392 million gain, in the comparative period as a result of the merger of BAT’s North American operations with those of RJ Reynolds in July 2004. If non-recurring items are excluded, profit from operations are 9% higher (6% at constant exchange rates) Tobacco (cont’d)
Financial Highlights • The ABSA stake was sold to Barclays effective 27July 2005. Dividends amounting to R123 million have been included in income during the period under review. ABSA was equity accounted in 2004 • FirstRand and RMBH returned strong earnings growth for the six months ended June 05
Improved performances were mainly due to: Air Products Due to increased demand for gaseous products in all industries, Air Products reported a substantial increase in headline earnings TSB Although the national sugar industry production has increased due to better climatic conditions, TSB has not recovered to the same extent. The strengthening in the export sugar price however has lead to increased income. TSB’s results have been negatively affected by lower income of the citrus business due to lower prices in Japan Lower results were reported by: Total SA The lower contribution was mainly due to STC payable on dividends declared and slightly lower gross profit margins. Reduced refining margins were offset by higher marketing margins UBR The decrease is mainly due to tax payable on dividends declared. Israel reported improved results, but South Africa reported lower results due to the impact of brand disposals and discontinuances Industrial (cont’d)
Mining Highlights • The decrease of 6.1% is mainly due to the lower income from Trans Hex as a result of an increase in cost of sales, exploration costs and asset impairments
Corporate finance & other Note: • The decrease in corporate costs resulted from reduced share scheme costs as a result of implementing IFRS2 • The movement is mainly due to an increase in deferred tax liability and tax payable
