DuluxGroup Financial Performance Update
Outlook
We aim to continue to outperform in modestly growing markets in Australia
Investment into the Australian retail hardware sector a positive
Some modest further sales impact in relation to floods, plus continued tolling costs and further
insurance recoveries
The New Zealand market continues to look challenging
In China we will continue to balance investment in capability transfer and growth with
operating performance
Pressure on paint input costs is likely to increase in second half (titanium dioxide and
latex resin in particular)
Subject to economic conditions and insurance recoveries, we expect
2011 DuluxGroup net profit after tax to be higher than $71.5 million
(being the 2010 pro forma net profit after tax before one-off
demerger costs).
