UNAUDITED AFRICAN MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT INTERIM RESULTS 
for the six months ended 30 September 2019
                                                               

African Media Entertainment Limited, a broadcast company listed in the Media and Entertainment sector of
the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, with a radio footprint across central South Africa and the Eastern Cape,
released its results for the six months ended 30 September 2019.

  -   Revenue            down    -2% at R131,4 million
  -   Profit after tax   down    -142% to -R6,4 million
  -   EPS                down    -149% to -82,5 cents
  -   HEPS               down    -35% to 109,0 cents
  -   Dividend: Nil (prior year: 80 cents gross)

The 149% decline in earnings per share from 168,4 cents to -82,5 cents is mainly as a result of the
deconsolidation of Classic FM South Africa (Pty) Ltd from the group and the resultant loss incurred from 
the deemed disposal.

The 35% decrease in headline earnings per share from 168,5 cents to 109,0 cents ignores the loss incurred
from the disposal and reflects the tough economic climate.

in the full announcement. The full announcement was released on SENS on 22 November 2019, and can
be found on the company's website at www.ame.co.za. Copies of the full announcement may also be
