Revenue
Notes: 1) EBITDA has been adjusted for once-off transaction costs of R23.9 million relating to the Group Restructuring
2) The inclusion of Bull Brand’s earnings for the nine months to June 2014 has had the effect of diluting margins for the Regional Segment. This has been offset by margin
expansion in the International Segment. As at the Last Practicable Date, margins for the Company are broadly in line with those achieved for the first three quarters of 2014

SUMMARY FINANCIAL RESULTS
Notes: 1) Includes only two months of Bull Brand
2) The inclusion of Bull Brand’s earnings for the nine months to June 2014 has had the effect of diluting margins for the Regional Segment. This has been offset by margin expansion
in the International Segment. As at the Last Practicable Date, margins for the Company are broadly in line with those achieved for the first three quarters of 2014
3) 2013 and 9M13 EBITDA and EBIT have been adjusted for once-off transaction costs of R23.9 million relating to the Group Restructuring

Revenue Volume (containers)
The revenue and operating profit contributions have
traditionally been stronger in the second half of the
Company’s financial year
Over the last three years, second half has accounted for
52%-56% of Company’s revenue
This trend is mainly caused by the higher volume of
exports of canned fruits to the Northern Hemisphere
when consumption of these products increases (local
summer) and in line with seasonal growth and harvesting
cycles

CURRENCY MANAGEMENT

USD, 54%
EUR, 18%
GBP, 17%
AUD, 8%
CAD, 3%
The Company has transactional currency
exposure arising from the purchase and sale of
goods that are denominated in foreign
currencies
A significant share of RFG’s international sales
are naturally hedged by raw materials
purchasing via:
– Fruit price contracts with farmers linked to the
final selling price (including FX component)
– Purchases of packaging and other raw
materials and certain other costs in foreign
currencies
In addition, the Company manages its exposure
by entering into forward exchange contracts
relating to specific transactions, matched by
anticipated cash flows in foreign currencies
RFG does not use forward exchange contracts
for speculative purposes
2013 sales split by currency
