F’11 in Perspective

Positives

  • Excellent Organic Sales Growth

  • Industrial GBU acceleration

Negatives

  • Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) and other cost increases, adversely impacted New Vertical & Medical GBU margins in particular

  • Sexual Wellness GBU acceleration

  • Emerging markets acceleration (23% growth)

  • Fusion ERP go-live in North America in July 2011 but not as efficient as we had planned

  • New global organization implemented on schedule

  • SKU & Brand simplification

  • First acquisition in 3 years on 1 July 2011 (Sandel Medical)

  • Pricing initiatives offset over 2/3rds of raw material cost increases

15

F’12 Business Outlook

  • Cost pressures are reducing overall, with Natural Rubber latex (NRL) input prices running lower than expected but Nitrile (NBR) higher

  • Good momentum on exiting F’11 with Industrial, Sexual Wellness GBUs leading the way. Medical and New Verticals GBUs expected to improve

  • Emerging Markets growth continues

  • Additional M&A opportunities emerging

  • Additional investments in sales, marketing, R&D and plant productivity

  • Extended time-frame for the ERP implementation

  • Revitalisation of Ansell to continue, to shape it into a more agile and growth oriented organisation

16
