Bidvest Group Limited – 2011 in perspective • A reasonable result with a real increase in profits in what remains a soft market overall • Refreshed operating structure implemented quickly, without a hitch and enthusiastically embraced • Made possible because of the flexibility and lack of complication that is a Bidvest hallmark • Autonomous smaller divisions each with devolved decision making management • Increased opportunities for individuals – continuity, succession and personal growth • Promotes incentive to do proportionately meaningful smaller deals – within the Bidvest big tent • Strategic leadership and growth focus role for Group CE – strong executive support • Unsolicited proposals for the Foodservice assets – significant value ascribed • Immediate gratification of cash in hand at odds with the Bidvest philosophy of critical mass and financial strength and motivated people and good citizenship for sustainable success • Foodservice is a key ingredient in the evolution and growth of Bidvest

The Future Brian Joffe – Group CE

www.bidvest.com

The future • Bidvest Board has reaffirmed its belief in the Bidvest business model and confidence in its people • Strategy is to grow organically and acquisitively in business services and foodservice • Continue to consider adding new activities if they dovetail with the Bidvest way of doing things • We have always been careful with our cheque book and will not overpay for acquisitions • Bidvest has proven it can generate significant value from investing in building its own goodwill • New geographies and territories continue to be added • Substantial financial and human capacity to exploit opportunities • Real growth is important but it will not be at the expense of long term financial, stakeholder and environmental sustainability

Appendix 1 Financials for the year ended June 30 2011

PRECISION

Managing for financial sustainability Financial • A decentralised operating model that encourages entrepreneurship but with strict financial disciplines and controls Currency risk • Our businesses are managed for local conditions and local currency • Currency is but one variable among numerous external variables that we have to manage • A non-negotiable policy of forward cover on trade transactions • Foreign assets are matched against foreign liabilities in local currency Interest and liquidity risk • Interest cover is the primary yardstick of capacity and benchmark is 5 - 6x • Borrowings are largely negotiated centrally and liquidity risk by country is managed locally • Operations requests for facilities are considered on a case by case basis and on merit • Funding lines are carefully termed, the ratio of long-term to short-term debt is approximately 50:50 • Including cash, most of borrowings are term facilities • A judicious mix of funding permutations, including equity Credit risk • The group debtors book is closely monitored by corporate office but being at the coal face each business is empowered to best judge the creditworthiness of customers. Prudence has stood the group in good stead and we would rather not have potential bad business than run the risk of default 31

Bidvest Freight – buoyant bulk • Bulk Connections: R200m capex programme underway at strategic Durban site to be completed in 2012; 25 year lease renewal at substantially higher rental; Transnet Freight Rail has failed to provide a commensurate level of service resulting in the need for extra road transport and thus inefficiencies and costs • Bidfreight Port Operations: real growth in profits supported by cost control and higher volumes in particular fertiliser, soya bean meal, steel, and forestry products through Durban; stevedoring had a strong result and is benefitting from more appointments as a result of quality service delivery • Naval: sized coal volumes through Maputo a sizeable share of turnover; ferrochrome and granite volumes reduced • Manica: business conditions remain challenging Strategic imperatives and prospects • Commodities demand anticipated to remain strong • Ongoing investment in facilities and people • Strategically very well positioned at key sites in southern Africa • Expecting further profit growth in F2012 59
