INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
Mahube is an infrastructure company that offers investors exposure to infrastructure assets in Africa. The vision of
Mahube is to contribute meaningfully to the rapid and cost-effective development, operation and upkeep of key
infrastructure needed to enable access to public services (basic, social and economic) in urban nodes across Africa, at
an acceptable level of quality and tariff without undermining the returns to our financial backers. Mahube aims to provide
attractive risk-adjusted financial returns that are characterised by predictable and regular cash flows generated from
infrastructure assets, exercising of management control over the invested infrastructure assets over the long-term,
capital growth from rendering disruptive infrastructure-underpinned solutions to market inefficiencies.

To date Mahube has invested in and holds equity interests in two wind farms and three solar photovoltaic farms with a
collective power generation capacity of approximately 400 MW. Four of the renewable energy assets were licensed
during Bid Window Round 1 of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Production Procurement Programme in
South Africa. The fifth asset was licensed during Bid Window Round 2. Each asset generates electricity that it sells to
Eskom under a 20-year power purchase agreement.

The total revenue earned by the Company during the year was R49.8 million compared to an amount of R68.2 million in the
prior year.
The dividend income portion of this total revenue was R21.0 million decreasing from R50.1 million in the prior year. The
higher dividends in the comparative period last year resulted from receipt of a special dividend from two of the solar
photovoltaic projects in which Mahube is invested, following the refinancing of these projects.
The favourable change in the fair value of the financial assets, which has increased the revenue by R28.5 million compared
to R17.2 million in the comparative period, resulted mainly from more favourable macro-economic indicators.
Operating expenses for the period increased to R15.9 million compared to R15.1 million in the comparative period last year.
The tangible net asset value per share of the Company increased from R10.52 in the comparative period last year to R10.73
in the current period.
