Financial definitions

1 Operating assets Operating assets are all assets less loans receivable, taxation assets, cash resources and assets classified as
held-for-sale.
2 Operating liabilities Operating liabilities are all liabilities less all interest-bearing debt, floorplans from financial institutions and taxation liabilities.
3 Net working capital Net working capital includes inventories, trade and other receivables, derivative instruments less provisions, trade and other payables and floorplans from suppliers.
4 Net debt Net debt includes interest-bearing borrowings less cash resources.
5 Revenue to average net operating assets (times) Calculated by dividing revenue by average net operating assets (operating assets less operating liabilities).
6 Revenue relating to sales of goods to average inventory (times) Revenue relating to sales of goods divided by average inventory.
7 Operating profit to average net operating assets (%) Operating profit before capital items and net foreign exchange adjustments divided by average net operating assets.
8 Operating margin (%) Operating profit before capital items and net foreign exchange adjustments divided by revenue.
9 Return on invested capital (%)

The return divided by invested capital.

The return is the aggregate of a post-tax operating profit for the last 12 months.

Post-tax operating profit is calculated as:

  • Operating profit before capital items and net foreign exchange movements
  • Less share of results in associates and joint ventures, which already includes the impact of tax
  • Less the impact of tax using a blended tax rate
  • Add share of results in associates and joint ventures.

The blended tax rate is an average of the actual tax rates applicable in the various jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

Invested capital is a 12-month average of the monthly total equity plus debt.

10 Weighted average cost of capital (%)

The WACC is the 12-month average of the monthly calculated WACC.

The monthly WACC is calculated by multiplying the cost of each invested capital component by its proportionate share of invested capital and then aggregating the results.

The cost of debt and equity is determined with reference to the prevailing rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

11 Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as:
  • EBITDA
  • Adjusted for the impact of net foreign exchange movements
  • Adjusted for the impact of the share of income from associates and joint ventures
  • Less the profit attributable to non-controlling interests
  • Plus the EBITDA relating to businesses acquired, grossed up for a full year where the underlying acquisitions only contributed for a portion of the year
  • Less EBITDA relating to businesses disposed of during the current year
  • Less adjustments relating to the impacts on the EBITDA that arose on the application of IFRS 16. The adjustments include the reversal of profit on terminations of leases and includes lease payments.
12 Adjusted net interest Adjusted net interest is calculated as:
  • Finance cost
  • Less finance income
  • Less facility set-up costs incurred
  • Less adjustments relating to the impacts on finance costs and income that arose on the application of IFRS 16. The adjustments include the reversal of the finance cost on lease liabilities.
13 Adjusted EBITDA by Adjusted net interest (bank facilities) (times) Calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the Adjusted net interest. This is one of the key measures of the covenants of the interest-bearing borrowings relating to our bank facilities.
14 Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA (bank facilities) (times) Calculated as net debt divided by the Adjusted EBITDA. This is one of the key measures of the covenants of the interest-bearing borrowings relating to our bank facilities.
15 Total taxes and levies Made up of income tax expense, withholding and secondary taxation on companies, rates and taxes, skills development and unemployment insurance fund levies.
16 Earnings yield (%) The HEPS divided by the closing price of a share.
17 Price earnings ratio (times) The closing price of a share divided by the HEPS.
18 Net asset value per share Net asset value is the equity attributable to owners of Motus divided by total ordinary shares in issue, net of shares repurchased.
19 Total market capitalisation at closing prices (Rm) Total ordinary shares in issue before treasury shares multiplied by the closing price per share.
