5 business environment and performance

6 5 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND PERFORMANCE Summary AECI delivered a creditable performance in a difficult trading environment Depressed global growth and industrial action in SA made volume growth difficult Businesses responded with tight cost management and restructuring Strength of the business model, especially in the chemicals cluster, demonstrated in the result Looking forward, market growth prospects linked to global economic growth uncertainties However, AECI has internal profit optimisation plans that will deliver value independent of external growth scenarios AECI also has a healthy pipeline of acquisitions and growth projects

12 11 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Effect on performance Open cast mining volumes in Africa (including South Africa) grew strongly Underground mining volumes in SA and Indonesia were negatively impacted by industrial action and other stoppages The weaker ZAR/US$ exchange rate helped the mining and manufacturing sectors but failed to lift volumes Prices remained high due to high US$ commodity prices and the weaker exchange rate The industrial relations environment deteriorated significantly post Marikana and made change management difficult
