OVERVIEW

Commodity markets continued to be affected by geopolitical volatility in the review period, with prices for copper,
aluminium, nickel and steel all below their recent highs. This was exacerbated by ongoing conflicts in the European
Union and Middle East, with the latter in particular impacting global shipping. This level of global uncertainty, and US
tariffs noted by the chairman, caused volatility in the rand exchange rate, affecting all imports. Adding those factors to
South Africa-specific issues meant another exceedingly difficult year for most businesses.

Insimbi met the challenges head on, with encouraging early results from recent operational changes to improve
efficiency and cost management. Specifically, the divestment of two small branches has enabled the Group to reset its
cost platform. Overall, the Group continues to demonstrate a good understanding of financial discipline in reducing debt
while managing working capital effectively.


During the reporting period, the Group recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of R78 million. This decision
followed a thorough review of the carrying value of goodwill associated with certain business units, triggered by ongoing
tough trading conditions that have impacted current performance and future cash flow projections. The impairment
reflects updated market assumptions and a more conservative outlook, in line with our commitment to transparent and
prudent financial management.

While this charge affects reported earnings, it does not impact on the Company's cash position or underlying operational
performance. We remain focused on navigating the current environment through disciplined cost management and
strategic execution to drive long-term value creation.

DIVIDEND

No final dividend was declared for the 2025 financial year.

OUTLOOK

Our focus remains on supplying recycled and beneficiated ferrous and non-ferrous metals for local and export clients.
The global focus on decarbonisation and vehicle electrification continues to support higher copper and aluminium prices,
in turn boosting our revenue and margins. In addition, working capital and cash flow throughout our operations have
been very well managed, and we are steadily degearing our balance sheet. While the risk of external disruptions remains
high, we believe we have demonstrated the Group's ability to withstand these in recent years.


We believe a return to meaningful economic growth in South Africa, progress on infrastructural development and an
equitable industrial policy will generate additional tailwinds.
