PBT Group’s financial performance was driven by:
1. Organic revenue growth due to continued demand for PBT Group’s services.
2. Operating expenses being contained, resulting in operating profit margin expansion.
3. Continuing to convert its operating accounting earnings into operating cash earnings.
* PBT Group is reporting normalised headline earnings and normalised headline earnings per share
figures. These figures reverse the accounting effect of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. The board of
directors is of the view that this is a more accurate reflection of after-tax earnings and after-tax earnings
per share.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed and reported
on by the Company’s auditors.
The interim results are scheduled to be published on or about 26 November 2021.
By order of the board of directors.
