COMMENTARY INTRODUCTION Torre Industries Limited ( Torre ) is a JSE-listed industrial group that specialises in: the value added distribution of branded capital equipment, either for rent or sale; the supply of critical parts and services to the equipment and automotive aftermarkets; and the provision of specialised financial solutions to assist customers in financing their capital programs Torre is headquartered in City Deep, Johannesburg and employs over 850 staff with a physical presence in 12 (and exposure to 20) African countries. HIGHLIGHTS Key achievements of the interim period include, inter alia: Revenue, EBITDA and HEPS growth from the prior comparable period of 257%, 276% and 118% respectively; the successful rationalisation and turnaround of Torre Automotive (formerly Control Instruments); the establishment of Kanu Equipment operations in Cote d Ivoire and Ghana; the acquisition of Elephant Lifting Equipment (Pty) Ltd which will be effective from 1 January 2015; and the declaration of a maiden interim dividend on 2 March 2015 FINANCIAL REVIEW The Group delivered positive results in difficult markets with challenges including ongoing labour unrest in South Africa, weak commodity prices, a volatile and depreciating Rand and the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. The full period inclusion of the acquisitions made by the Group during the past 18 months underpinned performance. REVENUE Group revenue grew by R405 million to R562 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, and by R129 million when compared to the 2014 financial year. Strong performances from Torre Automotive and SA French were partially offset by more challenging markets for Manhand and Tractor and Grader Supplies ( TGS ). Kanu Equipment traded in line with expectations. OPERATING PROFIT Operating profit grew by R52 million to R72 million when compared to the same period in the prior year, and by R31 million when compared to the full 2014 financial year. In addition, other income of R16 million was recognised, mainly as a result of a once off adjustment to the TGS deferred purchase consideration liability. Net profit for the period increased from R12.7 million to R49 million, with an increase in headline earnings per share from 6.6 cents to 14.4 cents. CASH AND DEBT During the period under review the Group s cash generated from operating activities increased to R48 million for the six month period mainly as a result of improvement in working capital, R29 million up from 12 month period ending 30 June 2014. The Group ended the period with a net cash balance of R32.4 million compared to R57 million as at 30 June 2014, and net debt (interest bearing borrowings less net cash and cash equivalents) of R100.7 million, representing a net debt-to-equity ratio of 17%, compared to 14% as at 30 June 2014. The Group achieved an interest cover ratio of 9.0x for the period, comprising finance costs of R9.7m and finance income of R3m. GOODWILL During the period under review Goodwill increased by R47 million from 30 June 2014, mainly as a result of the acquisition of Minosucra SARL, DR Forklifts, and IFRS 3 measurement period adjustments relating to the acquisition of Control Instruments Group Limited. 08

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS PLANT AND EQUIPMENT SA French Higher levels of tower crane sales and full utilisation of the rental fleet has allowed SA French to deliver a strong performance in the first half of this financial period. The prospects for the remainder of the year are positive. Manhand The combination of Manhand with Forktech and DR Forklifts is complete and the enlarged entity has an attractive market position with a comprehensive, price competitive product range as well as an extensive offering of aftermarket parts and servicing capabilities for all machine types. Financial performance in the first half was subdued. However this is expected to improve in the second half as a result of increased investment and the appointment of a new managing director with effect from 1 February 2015. Kanu Equipment The Ebola outbreak and the collapse in the iron ore and oil prices contributed to an extremely challenging environment in West Africa. Despite this Kanu Equipment performed satisfactorily in the first half and is expected to improve further in the second half as the new territories are bedded down and the business environment returns to normal. SERVICES AND SUPPLIES Tractor and Grader Supplies (TGS) TGS had a difficult first half as a result of the NUMSA strikes and the slowdown in the mining sector. Initiatives to streamline the cost base and optimise inventory management are underway and an improved second half is expected from this business unit. Torre Automotive Torre Automotive performed strongly in the first half as a result of the rationalisation of the cost base and enhanced efficiencies in manufacturing and distribution. The new management team is performing admirably and results in the second half are expected to be maintained. FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS Torre Capital Torre Capital commenced operations in August 2014 with an initial focus on providing rentals and finance leases to Manhand customers. At present the book is internally funded by the Group. 09

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Notice is hereby given in terms of section 45 (5) (a) of the Companies Act that the Board of the Company at a meeting held on 2 March 2015, authorised and ratified the Company to provide financial assistance to its subsidiary companies in terms of section 45 of the Companies Act, pursuant to the authority granted to the Board by shareholders on 10 December 2014. The approved financial assistance included guarantees on behalf of Group companies and general facilities and loans to Group companies already provided totaling R357 million. Further approval was authorised to provide financial assistance in a maximum aggregate amount of R46 million, on terms and conditions approved by the Board, as determined by any executive director of the Company from time to time under delegated authority, until the Board meeting scheduled for June 2015. PROSPECTS The external environment remains challenging in South Africa and in the other parts of the continent where the Group is operating. The Group does not foresee any significant improvement in the trading environment in the short-term. However the stabilization of the SA environment and further development in the Group s African business units should contribute to organic growth in earnings going forward. In addition Torre will continue to focus on cost controls, acquisitions and further optimisation of our capital structure to enhance margins and profitability. Any forward-looking statements in this announcement have not been reviewed nor audited by the Company s Auditors.
