COMMENTARY
“Nampak had a successful financial year driven by the recovery of all the South African metals
operations, significant growth of the Nigerian beverage can market, new customers in Zambia and
continued strong demand for our products in Zimbabwe. The group successfully restructured two
divisions, consolidated operations and simplified product offerings to strengthen the group’s
profitability and competitiveness going forward. Nampak successfully renegotiated key funding
agreements to reduce financial risk for the coming year and secured a R1 billion non-recourse trade
finance facility to further stabilise the balance sheet. The group is now in a better position to service
customers using an improved cost base and will continue building trust with all stakeholders.” – Erik
Smuts, Nampak CEO
Overview
Group results were driven by strong growth of the Metals division, as a result of a solid performance
by our Bevcan operations in South Africa and Nigeria. The restructuring of DivFood in South Africa
contributed significantly to the improvement in profitability.
Good progress was made towards achieving our strategic goal of improving our financial position as
management reduced the group’s exposure to US dollar debt and renegotiated covenants.
Subsequent to year-end, a non-recourse R1 billion trade finance facility was secured, further easing
covenant pressures and significantly reducing the need to dispose of any of our businesses at less
than full value. The simplification of the group and optimisation of operations streamlined our
operating structures and has put us in better standing to compete profitably going forward. Ongoing
benefits are expected from these projects into FY22.
Our manufacturing sites continued to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 with additional safety
measures. Our group lost time injury frequency rate also benefitted from these supplementary
measures and improved materially to 0.27, below our target of 0.35. Sadly, seven employees passed
away as a result of the coronavirus. We extend our sympathies and condolences to their families.

The group's independent auditor, Deloitte & Touche (Deloitte), conducted an audit of the
consolidated annual financial statements for the group for the year ended 30 September 2021.
Deloitte, have issued an unmodified audit opinion in terms of the International Standards on Auditing,
with a paragraph on material uncertainty relating to going concern. The covenant conditions highlight
potential events which could result in default on the group's funding agreements and this indicates
that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as
a going concern. Notwithstanding this material uncertainty, the directors have determined that the
group is a going concern based on the financial plans and forecasts, available funding facilities,
actions taken by the group, the historic track record of the group to deliver on disposals, cost
reduction and optimisation plans as well as the management of working capital and capital
expenditure.
