Shareholders are advised that Exxaro will release its reviewed financial results for the year ended 31 December 2013, on 06 March 2014.

Consolidated net operating profit as well as attributable earnings per share for the group for the year ended 31 December 2013 are expected to show a decrease of more than 20% when compared with the corresponding period in 2012, mainly due to the non-recurring profit on the sale of subsidiaries and other non-core assets during 2012.

Exxaro is not in a position at this stage to provide more specific guidance. Shareholders are therefore advised that a further trading statement will be issued once Exxaro and its directors have obtained a reasonable degree of certainty relating to the expected financial results for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed, audited nor reported on by Exxaro's external auditors. This statement is issued in compliance with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.
