Note:
   1.   Normalised basic HEPS figures are the responsibility of the directors and have been presented for illustrative
        purposes only. Because of their nature, normalised basic HEPS figures are not IRFS measures and may not fairly
        present Barloworld’s basic HEPS.
   2.   Basic earnings per share from continuing operations compared to the prior period as reported is expected to be
        between 602.1 cents to 632.6 cents (an increase of between 42% to 44%). The other expected percentage ranges
        of increase/(decrease) based on 30 September 2021 (Reported) have not been reflected as the percentage
        differences are more than 100% or below the 20% threshold for trading statement purposes.



Accounting presentation changes
Following the board’s approval to sell or unbundle and separately list the Car Rental and Leasing
business, it is classified as held for distribution in terms of IFRS 5. Accordingly, Car Rental and
Leasing are classified as part of discontinued operations in the income statement, and comparatives
have been restated in this regard.


Normalised headline earnings per share (NHEPS)
The costs of our B-BEE deal Khula Sizwe and the impact of IFRS 16 are excluded from our
normalised headline earnings.
