The first half of the 2026 financial year, despite its various challenges and macroeconomic constraints, has seen a steady
start for the Group, as it continued its trend towards the end of the previous year of consistently outperforming the market
for advertising revenue. Profit from continuing operations for the period ended on R174.8 million compared to the prior
year of R148.1 million, a year-on-year increase of 18%. The Group improved year-on-year net profit, despite the significant
challenges faced with regard to the declining advertising market. This improved performance is due to the cost savings
around the high beam satellite transponder space, the lease was cancelled last year, legal fees and effectively managing
content costs.
The directors of eMedia Holdings have resolved to declare an interim cash dividend for the period ended 30 September 2025 of
14.0 cents per share (2024: 14.0 cents). The dividend to shareholders relates to the ordinary shares (share code: EMH) and
N ordinary shares (share code: EMN). The dividend will be subject to a local dividend withholding tax at a rate of 20%, which
will result in a net final dividend to those shareholders not exempt from paying dividend withholding tax of 11.2 cents per
ordinary share and 14.0 cents per ordinary share for those shareholders who are exempt from dividend withholding tax. In
terms of dividend withholding tax legislation, any dividend withholding tax amount due will be withheld and paid over to the
South African Revenue Service by a nominee company, stockbroker or Central Securities Depository Participant (collectively
regulated intermediary) on behalf of shareholders. All shareholders should declare their status to their regulated intermediary
as they may qualify for a reduced dividend withholding tax rate or exemption. The salient dates for the payment of the dividend
are as follows:
Last day to trade cum dividend: Monday, 15 December 2025
Commence trading ex dividend: Wednesday, 17 December 2025
Record date: Friday, 19 December 2025
Payment date: Monday, 22 December 2025
Share certificates may not be dematerialised nor rematerialised between Wednesday, 17 December 2025 and Friday, 19 December 2025
