["ZCCM-IH" or "the Company"]
In accordance with Section 3.4(b) Lusaka Securities Exchange ("LuSE") Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors of ZCCM-Investments Holdings Plc (the "Company" or "ZCCM-IH") hereby advises the Shareholders of the Company that the Earnings Per Share ("EPS") for the Audited Group and Company financial year ended 31 March 2019 is expected to be approximately 47% and 125% respectively, lower than the financial year ended 31 March 2018.
The movement in EPS for both Group and Company is primarily attributed to the reduction in other income of ZMW360 million due to a once off income reported last year relating to the Konkola Copper Mines Plc price participation receivable. In addition, the Group and Company recorded an impairment of receivables amounting to ZMW 205 million and ZMW 373 million respectively, following the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standard 9 (IFRS 9): Financial Instrument, and a further fair value loss of ZMW 336 million was recognised on two of the investee companies.
Shareholders are advised that the information contained in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the external auditors of the Company.
The Company expects its Audited Abridged Financial Results for year ended 31 March 2019 to be released on the Securities Exchange News Services ("SENS") and published in the local press on or about 16th December 2019. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company's securities until publication of the results.
By Order of the Board
