Accordingly, Steinhoff shareholders are advised that the headline earnings per share ("HEPS") and earnings per share ("EPS") of Steinhoff for the six months ended 31 December 2011 will be between 40% and 50% higher than the HEPS and EPS as reported for the comparative six months ended 31 December 2010. The major contributors to the 40% to 50% increase relate to the inclusion of the results of Conforama Holding S.A (acquired in March 2011), a more favourable translation rate of the euro-earnings to rand, and the associate earnings earned on the investment in the JD Group Limited.
