About our report

REPORTING SCOPE AND BOUNDARY

This report provides information relating to Italtile's strategy and business model, operating context, material risks and opportunities, governance and operational performance for the period 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019. We also consider the risks, opportunities and outcomes of our business activities on the various stakeholders who are affected by what we do. These stakeholders and their interests are described on Material issues, risks and opportunities. In addition, we have published annual financial statements (AFS). The reporting process for all our reports has been guided by the principles and requirements contained in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the IIRC's International < IR > Framework, the GRI Standards, the King V™* Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa 2016 (King IV), the JSE Listings Requirements, and the Companies Act No 71 of 2008.

OUR APPROACH TO MATERIALITY

This report provides information that we believe is of material interest to current and prospective investors, and to any other stakeholder who wishes to make an informed assessment of Italtile's ability to generate value over the short, medium and long term. We have sought to ensure that all the information in this report relates to matters that have a material bearing on value creation at Italtile. Understanding our business and our business model form the basis for appreciating how Italtile creates value, and for identifying those issues impacting value. Our ability to create value is determined by the quality of our response to our operating context, the priority risks and opportunities facing our business, and the material interests of our key stakeholders. Making an informed assessment of the quality of our response requires an appreciation of our strategy, our performance, our Board, and our governance practices.
