New Segmental Information
Tate & Lyle PLC
On 2 June 2005, Tate & Lyle PLC published its Preliminary Results for the twelve
months ending 31 March 2005. These financial results were prepared in accordance
with UK generally accepted accounting principles ('UK GAAP'). However, with
effect from 1 April 2005, the Group has adopted International Financial
Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). In order to clearly communicate the anticipated
impacts of transition from UK GAAP to IFRS, we published, as an Appendix to the
announcement on 2 June 2005, unaudited restatements of the Group's 2005 primary
statements under IFRS.
We also announced on 2 June 2005 that, in order to reflect the evolving strategy
of the Group, a new basis for providing segmental financial information would be
adopted with effect from 1 April 2005. These new segments are as follows:
-- Food & Industrial Ingredients, Americas;
-- Food & Industrial Ingredients, Europe;
-- Sugars, Americas and Asia;
-- Sugars, Europe; and
-- Sucralose.
In accordance with our commitment to publish historical information for the year
to 31 March 2005 in these segments, prior to the 2006 interim announcement, we
publish today the following unaudited information:
-- UK GAAP figures shown in the new segmental format - Group sales and profit
before tax for the six months to 30 September 2004 and for the twelve months
to 31 March 2005;
-- IFRS figures shown in the new segmental format - Group sales and profit
before tax for the six months to 30 September 2004 and for the twelve months
to 31 March 2005; and
-- Reconciliation of UK GAAP to IFRS in the new segmental format - Group profit
before tax for the six months to 30 September 2004 and for the twelve months
to 31 March 2005.
