A net 13 new outlets were opened locally during the period. Internationally, six
new outlets were opened, including the group’s first restaurants in New Zealand
(Spur), Ethiopia (Spur) and Oman (RocoMamas).

Chief executive, Pierre van Tonder, said the group had delivered a satisfactory
trading performance in the context of declining consumer confidence and
disposable income locally, and deteriorating economic conditions in the rest of
Africa.
“Despite the slowing economy, RocoMamas continues to show strong growth
while the robust results from The Hussar Grill highlights the resilience of the
higher income consumer. Our focus in the second half of the year will continue to
be driving growth through value promotions, aggressive marketing and
expanding our local and international restaurant base.”

At 31 December 2016, the group’s restaurant base comprised 590 (June 2016:
575) outlets, including 60 (June 2016: 58) operating outside of South Africa.

The financial information in this sales update has not been reviewed or reported
on by the group’s independent auditor. Spur Corporation’s interim results for the
six months ended 31 December 2016 will be released on SENS on 23 February
2017.

* As previously advised to shareholders, all the group’s operations in the UK and
Ireland (which comprised a separate operating segment), had ceased trading by
30 June 2016.
