TRADING STATEMENT
In terms of paragraph 3.4(b)(i) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, Mahube's shareholders are hereby
advised that the Company and its directors have reasonable certainty that earnings and headline earnings per
share are expected to be a loss of between 51.00 cents and 56.37 cents per share for the year ended 28 February
2023, compared to earnings and headline earnings per share of 118.93 cents per share reported for the previous
comparable period, being the year ended 28 February 2022.
The decrease is primarily attributable to the following:
• lower dividend income resulting from
- a decrease in cash available in the subsidiary company, Mahube Capital Fund, resulting from
the payment it had to make toward redeeming some of the preference shares pursuant to its
contractual obligations; and
- the lower-than-expected dividends received from the wind IPP investments, primarily due to
adverse wind conditions experienced in the industry during the reporting period.
• an unfavourable change in fair value of the financial assets due to two factors:
- unfavourable change in the forecasted macroeconomic variables that make up the valuation
basis; and
- prudent but adverse revision of long term assumptions on amount of electricity generated.
The financial information in this trading statement has not been reviewed and reported on by the auditors of
the Company. Mahube’s financial results for the year ended 28 February 2023 will be published on or about 31
May 2023.
