Optimisation of Annual Financial Statements - SENS Announcement
Dear Stakeholder,
Since the implementation of our new operating model in 2014, we
have optimised and integrated our operations along a single value
chain and streamlined our processes and ways of working. To
reflect the new operating model and bring greater focus and
increased simplicity to how Sasol is structured and managed, we
have overhauled our Annual Financial Statements (AFS) to better
reflect the way the business is managed and improve shareholder
accessibility and understanding of our financial results. We have
also purposefully focused on the disclosure of material items to
assist with clarity, as well as removing duplicate disclosures.
The new structure of the AFS will align with the Report of the
Group Chief Financial Officer, and together will provide a full
overview of the results, in the context of our business strategy,
while enabling more effective analysis of the Group's
performance. This change in the AFS is also in line with global
trends in financial reporting, which have been signaled over
recent months by industry bodies and authorities to improve
financial reporting in simpler, more accessible formats for
shareholders.
The AFS has been re-organised and will be presented along the
following focus areas:
* Earnings - focuses on earnings generated from our operations
and taxation;
* Sources of Capital - funding our business through equity and
debt;
* Capital allocation and utilisation - investments and
effective capital management to fuel future growth;
* Provisions and reserves; and
* Other disclosures - financial risk management and mandatory
disclosures required by the regulators.
Simultaneously, we are also implementing an Early Reporting
project with the objective of releasing our 2017 financial
results two weeks earlier into the market. The streamlined AFS
will assist us in meeting the earlier reporting timelines and
integrate the Analyst Book into one publication.
A template with the restructured AFS has been developed to assist
shareholders and readers to familiarise themselves with the new
format, prior to publication in September 2016. This unaudited
template is available for download from our Investor Centre on
the Company's website at http://www.sasol.com/investor-
centre/reporting/annual-financial-statements/new-template
Important to note is that the template is subject to change as we
finalise the results for financial year 2016. The template
includes previously disclosed financial information pertaining to
financial years 2014 and 2015. The AFS for financial year 2016
will be available in this format when we release our results
early in September 2016.
Queries and further questions regarding the new and optimised
structure of the Annual Financial Statements shown in the
template, can be directed to Sasol Investor Relations at
[email protected], or by calling +27 11 441 3113.
