DS SMITH PLC - 2016/17 HALF YEAR RESULTS
Interim / Quarterly Report Classification · 100% confidence The document is a formal 'Half Year Results' announcement for DS Smith Plc for the period ending 31 October 2016. It contains detailed financial tables (Revenue, Operating Profit, EPS, Dividend), operational reviews by region, and management commentary on performance. As it provides comprehensive financial data and analysis for a period shorter than a full fiscal year, it is classified as an Interim/Quarterly Report. H1 2016

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 98% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with an 'RNS Number : 8744Q' and contains the header 'TR-1(i): NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES'. This format is characteristic of regulatory notifications filed with a stock exchange, specifically the London Stock Exchange (indicated by 'The company news service from the London Stock Exchange' at the end). The content details a change in major shareholding (BlackRock, Inc. crossing the 5% threshold). This falls under the category of Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although RNS is a general regulatory filing code, MRQ is more specific and accurate for this content type.

Total Voting Rights
Regulatory Filings Classification · 98% confidence The document explicitly mentions 'RNS Number : 7189Q' and discusses an update to 'Voting Rights and Share Capital' by notifying the total number of shares in issue (946,968,689) and the issuance of 30,036 new shares. This directly relates to changes in the total share count and voting rights denominator, which falls under Share Issue/Capital Change (SHA). Although it is distributed via RNS, the core content is a specific capital structure update, making SHA the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.

Holding(s) in Company
Major Shareholding Notification Classification · 98% confidence The document explicitly starts with 'RNS Number : 8264P' and contains the header 'TR-1(i): NOTIFICATION OF MAJOR INTERESTS IN SHARES'. This format is characteristic of regulatory notifications concerning changes in significant shareholdings, which aligns directly with the definition for Major Shareholding Notification (MRQ). Although RNS is mentioned, the content is highly specific to share ownership changes, making MRQ the most precise classification over the general RNS fallback.

Total Voting Rights
Share Issue/Capital Change Classification · 95% confidence The document is very short (1319 characters) and explicitly states it is providing an update on 'Voting Rights and Share Capital' in conformity with DTR 5.6.1. It announces a specific change in the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue (946,938,653) and confirms that this figure should be used as the denominator for shareholder notification calculations under Disclosure and Transparency Rules. This content directly relates to the total number of shares and voting rights, which aligns best with the 'Share Issue/Capital Change' category (SHA) or potentially a general 'Regulatory Filing' (RNS). Given the specific focus on the total share count used as the voting rights denominator, SHA is the most precise fit, although it is a very brief notification. Reviewing the definitions: - SHA (Share Issue/Capital Change): Announcement regarding new share issues, stock splits, or other capital changes. The document announces new shares issued and the resulting total share capital figure. - RNS (Regulatory Filings): General regulatory announcements. While this is a regulatory notification, SHA is more specific to the content. Since the core information is the change in the total number of shares in issue, SHA is the primary classification.

DS Smith Plc half-year pre-close trading statement
Earnings Release Classification · 99% confidence The document is explicitly labeled with an 'RNS Number' and contains the header 'National Storage Mechanism'. The content is a 'pre-close trading statement' for the half-year ending 31 October 2016, providing key performance updates (volume growth, ROCE progression) and announcing the date for the full results (8 December 2016). This structure—a brief update disseminated via the RNS system, often preceding a formal report—fits the definition of a general regulatory announcement or a preliminary earnings update. Since it is a brief trading update rather than the full comprehensive report (which would be an IR or ER), and it is clearly distributed through the RNS system, the most appropriate classification is Regulatory Filings (RNS) as a general announcement, or potentially Earnings Release (ER) if it were the primary release. Given the context of a 'pre-close trading statement' and the RNS identifier, RNS is a strong fit, but since it contains key performance indicators and outlook, it functions similarly to an Earnings Release (ER) but is explicitly distributed via RNS. Given the options, and the fact that it is a short, preliminary update, ER is plausible, but RNS covers the distribution mechanism and the nature of the filing itself. However, looking closely at the definitions, 'Earnings Release (ER)' is for the 'Initial announcement of quarterly/periodical financial results (key highlights only)'. This pre-close statement serves exactly that purpose for the half-year period. I will classify it as ER because it is a highlights release for a financial period, even if distributed via RNS. H1 2016
