Summarised, audited results announcement and cash dividend declaration for the year ended 30 June 2014 and board changes
KEY HIGHLIGHTS
Normalised earnings +18% to 203.4 cents
Ordinary dividend +14% to 108.0 cents
Market value +30% to 3 278 cents
Economic environment
The operating environment remained difficult throughout the financial year. This was largely as a consequence of uncertainty in the global macro-economic arena
combined with subdued domestic demand growth and protracted industrial action in the mining sector.
Economic activity in the United States experienced a gradual recovery. This allowed the US Federal Reserve to taper its asset purchases. The expected increase in
US interest rates impacted on foreign capital flows to emerging markets. South Africa, with its large current account deficit, was negatively impacted by the
slow-down in capital flows. This led to the further weakening of the Rand, which translated into higher domestic inflation and triggered the start of a higher
interest rate cycle.
Local operating conditions were economically challenging and highly competitive. Equity markets increased strongly throughout the year, while interest rate
volatility continued. Consumer confidence remained fragile with ongoing labour challenges, unemployment, indebtedness and inflation reducing disposable and
investible income.
While some of these headwinds also affected the rest of the sub-Saharan region, GDP growth in many African countries, however, is proving to be resilient, with
some economies continuing to expand at a brisk pace. In those countries, domestic demand - fuelled by credit growth and investment in infrastructure
development - remained the major catalyst.
Overview of results
Notwithstanding such a challenging background, all of the businesses in which RMI are invested produced satisfying results, with strong growth in normalised
earnings being recorded by Discovery and OUTsurance, driven largely by the performance of their offshore operations.

RMI regards normalised earnings as the appropriate basis to evaluate business performance as it eliminates the impact of non-recurring items and accounting
anomalies.
A reconciliation of the adjustments made to derive normalised earnings is presented in the accompanying schedules.
MARKET VALUE OF INVESTMENTS
Both Discovery and MMI benefited from a significant market re-rating during the year to 30 June 2014, with their JSE market capitalisation increasing by 16%
and 18% respectively.
Over the year RMI's market capitalisation increased by 30% to R48.7 billion.
On a "look-through" basis, the market value attributed to RMI's interest in OUTsurance (84.7% held) and RMBSI (78.6% held) increased by 47% to R24.1 billion,
reflecting market recognition of the continued progress made in building out OUTsurance's Australian initiative and the strength of its South African franchise.

Dividend payment
The board is of the opinion that RMI is adequately capitalised at this stage and that the company will be able to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future
after payment of the dividend declared below. The board is also of the view that, at present, the level of borrowings that the group carries at the center is
appropriate.
In 2013, RMI indicated to the market that it would consider a more active investment strategy following the appointment of Herman Bosman. In July 2014, an
investment team was appointed to assist with the changed strategy. The board has now also considered the impact of the investment activity on dividend policy.
The stated practice of paying out all dividends received from our underlying investments after servicing any funding commitments largely remains in place. Going
forward, in determining dividends, RMI's debt funding capacity and investment pipeline will be considered. For 2014, the board has decided to retain the special
dividend of R196 million to be received from MMI in October 2014.
FINAL DIVIDEND FOR THE 2014 FINANCIAL YEAR
The board resolved to declare a final dividend of 62.0 cents per ordinary share.
Such final dividend, together with the interim dividend of 46.0 cents per ordinary share, brings the total dividend for the year ended 30 June 2014 to 108.0 cents
per ordinary share (2013: 95.0 cents), a year-on-year increase of 14%.
The total dividend is covered 1.9 times (2013: 1.8 times) by the normalised earnings of 203.4 cents per share.
The apparent divergence in the growth in dividends relative to the growth in underlying earnings can be ascribed to OUTsurance re-investing a larger portion of
its earnings in its Australian and New Zealand growth initiatives.
Shareholders are referred to the dividend declaration forming part of this announcement regarding the applicability of dividend withholding tax to the ordinary
dividend.
Outlook
The South African consumer will be placed under further pressure due to the current interest rate hiking cycle. Growth in insurance new business volumes will
remain largely dependent upon the economic environment, including a recovery in employment and stronger disposable income levels.
All of the groups in which RMI are invested face both opportunities and threats posed by the highly regulated environment in which they operate, including
evolving capital regimes as well as social security reform proposals.
Notwithstanding these challenges, RMI expects to benefit from continued organic growth during the coming year.

REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
Discovery
Discovery services the healthcare funding and insurance markets in South Africa, the United Kingdom, United States and China. It is a pre-eminent developer of
integrated financial services products and operates under the Discovery Health, Discovery Life, Discovery Insure, Discovery Invest, DiscoveryCard, Vitality, PruHealth,
PruProtect and Ping An Health brand names.
The year to 30 June 2014 was a satisfying period for Discovery:
- New business grew 15% to R12.2 billion;
- Normalised headline earnings increased by 24% to R3.5 billion;
- Embedded value grew 21% to R43.1 billion; while
- Return on capital amounted to 22.9%.
All businesses are competitively positioned in their respective markets.
The healthcare environment remains complex, characterised by an increasing disease burden, a deepening shortage of physicians, continued upward cost pressure
and legislative reform. Against this backdrop, Discovery Health's performance exceeded expectation: operating profit before tax increased 10% to R1 854 million,
after continued efficiencies were passed onto the medical scheme through a planned scale-related discount; new business increased 4% to R5 billion; and lives
under management grew to 2.9 million.
Discovery Life demonstrated exceptional earnings before tax growth of 23% to R2 591 million over the year, driven by new business growth of 6% to R2 013
million, better than expected claims and lapse results, improved renewal efficiencies and disciplined expense control.
The performance of Discovery Invest over the year exceeded expectation. Earnings before tax increased by 50% to R331 million, driven by high growth of
products sold and strong performance of the market. Assets under management increased to R42 billion.
The scale and relevance of Discovery's UK businesses reflect the benefits of a decade of investment. The combined PruHealth and PruProtect businesses grew
earnings before tax by 33% to R628 million; new business grew 35% to R2 129 million and the combined customer base measured almost 800 000 at the end
of the year.
In the year under review, Ping An Health entrenched its position as the top health insurance player in China and more than doubled new business volumes to
R339 million.
Discovery Insure's new business was exceptional, with 73% growth to R632 million. It is now the fastest growing short-term insurer in South Africa.
RMI included R866 million of Discovery's earnings in its normalised earnings (2013: R699 million).
For an in-depth review of Discovery's performance, RMI's shareholders are referred to www.discovery.co.za.
MMI Holdings
South Africa's third largest insurer, MMI, was formed from the merger of Momentum and Metropolitan. The core businesses of MMI are long-term insurance,
asset management, investment, healthcare administration and employee benefits. Product solutions are provided to all market segments. MMI operates in 12
countries outside of South Africa. It provides for the insurance needs of individuals in the lower, middle and upper income markets, principally under the
Momentum and Metropolitan brand names.
MMI delivered strong financial results for the year under review:
- Embedded value increased to R40 billion, driven by an excellent 19% return on embedded value;
- Diluted core headline earnings of R3.6 billion reflected a 12% increase on the prior year;
- The contribution from operating divisions rose 22% to R3.0 billion; and
- Targeted merger expense savings of R500 million were achieved ahead of time.
MMI invested or committed in excess of R2.5 billion in growth initiatives during the year. Each of its business segments is implementing plans to grow the group
through client-centricity. MMI believes that the group has identified and is implementing innovative strategies to unlock value and generate the required return on
capital for shareholders over time.
RMI included R899 million of MMI's earnings in its normalised earnings (2013: R803 million).

OUTsurance
OUTsurance is a direct personal lines and small business short-term insurer. Pioneers of the OUTbonus concept, it has grown rapidly by applying a scientific
approach to risk selection, product design and claims management. Its South African direct life insurance business continues to gain traction.
Youi, the group's direct personal lines initiative in Australia, has achieved scale and is trading profitably. Youi New Zealand was launched in July 2014 and provides
personal lines insurance cover directly to the New Zealand public.
OUTsurance delivered another strong financial and operational performance for the year under review. The group achieved 20% growth in headline earnings to
R1 448 million and a return on equity of 38.4%. The significant driver behind the growth in OUTsurance's earnings is attributed to the profitability of Youi, which
generated R231 million in headline earnings.
OUTsurance achieved 35% growth in the annualised new business written.
- Youi delivered excellent new business growth as the business continues to gain traction and solidify its presence in the Australian market.
- The South African business delivered an encouraging increase in new business written in an environment where premium inflation continues to track below
consumer inflation.
The strong new business volume growth translated into 25% growth in the group's gross written premium income to R10.4 billion.
Since its launch in 2008, Youi has through good operational execution, the creation of a powerful brand and management focus, grown to be a notable and
profitable player in the Australian market. Youi now contributes 39% of the group's turnover and 15% of the group's profits.
RMI included R1 219 million of OUTsurance's earnings in its normalised earnings (2013: R1 031 million).

sophisticated risk techniques and innovative financial structures. In addition, it partly owns a portfolio of underwriting management agencies.

continues to bear fruit and the business mix is trending in the right direction.

RMI included R78 million of RMBSI's earnings in its normalised earnings (2013: R70 million).
BASIS OF PREPARATION OF RESULTS
The accompanying audited summarised financial results for the year ended 30 June 2014 reflect:
- the consolidation of the operations of Rand Merchant Insurance Holdings Limited (RMI) and its subsidiaries, including OUTsurance Holdings Limited (OUTsurance)
and RMB-SI Investments Proprietary Limited (RMBSI); and
- RMI's proportionate interest in its associates, Discovery Limited (Discovery) and MMI Holdings Limited (MMI), which have been equity accounted.
The annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014, to which this summarised results announcement relates, were prepared in accordance with:
- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IAS 34: Interim financial reporting;
- the requirements of the South African Companies Act, Act 71 of 2008, as amended; and
- the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.
Schalk Human CA(SA) prepared these consolidated financial results under the supervision of Peter Cooper CA(SA).
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those applied in the previous financial year, except for:
- the change in accounting policy governing the treatment of deferred acquisition costs for short-term and long-term insurance contracts as set out in the
accompanying schedules; and
- changes required by the mandatory adoption of new and revised IFRS. The adoption of IFRS 10: Consolidated financial statements had resulted in the
consolidation and non-consolidation of certain entities by RMI's associates without any impact on the profit or net asset value of these associates in previous
accounting periods. As a result of this, the restatements made by RMI's associates as required by IFRS 10 had no impact on RMI's results as previously reported.
RMI has included the disclosures required by IAS 34.16A(j) in respect of IFRS 13: Fair value measurement in this results announcement.
The summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., who expressed an
unmodified opinion thereon. Unless the financial information is specifically stated as audited, it should be assumed it is unaudited. The forward looking
information has not been commented or reported on by RMI's auditors.
The auditors' report does not necessarily cover all the information contained in this announcement. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a
full understanding of the nature of the auditors' engagement, they should obtain a copy of the auditors' report together with the accompanying financial
statements. RMI’s board of directors take full responsibility for the preparation of this announcement.
The auditors expressed an unmodified opinion dated 11 September 2014 on the financial statements from which these summarised consolidated financial
statements were derived. A copy of the auditors’ report on the summarised consolidated financial statements and of the auditors’ report on the consolidated
financial statements are available for inspection at RMI’s registered office, 3rd Floor, 2 Merchant Place, corner Fredman Drive and Rivonia Road, Sandton, together
with the financial statements identified in the respective auditors’ reports.
EFFECTIVE INTEREST
RMI's effective interest in the group entities is different from the actual holdings as a result of the following consolidation adjustments:
- treasury shares held by the group entities;
- shares held by consolidated share incentive trusts;
- "deemed" treasury shares arising from BEE transactions entered into; and
- "deemed" treasury shares held by policyholders and mutual funds managed by them.
At 30 June 2014 the effective interest held by RMI can be compared to the actual interest in the statutory issued share capital of the companies as follows:
30 June 2014 30 June 2013
Effective Actual Effective Actual

Discovery 25.8% 25.0% 26.7% 25.0%

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS MEASURED AT FAIR VALUE
The group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value by level in the
fair value hierarchy. The different levels are based on the extent that quoted prices are used in the calculation of the fair value of the financial
instruments. These levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 - fair value is based on quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments as measured on the reporting date.
Level 2 - fair value is determined through valuation techniques based on observable market inputs. These valuation techniques maximise the use
of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates.
Level 3 - fair value is determined through valuation techniques which use significant unobservable inputs.

The fair values of the above instruments were determined as follows:
Level 1
The level 1 equity securities comprise listed preference share and ordinary share investments which are listed on a securities exchange. The fair values of these
investments are calculated based on the closing bid prices on the last business day of the reporting period. The ordinary share investments include an investment
in a listed exchange traded fund which tracks the performance of the top forty companies listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange. Debt securities
represent South African Government issued interest securities and other listed interest securities on the Bond Exchange of South Africa. The carrying amount
represents the closing bid prices on the last business day of the reporting period. Investment contract liabilities are valued with reference to the fair value of the
underlying assets.
Level 2
The level 2 fair value instruments include unlisted preference shares that are redeemable with a notice period ranging from thirty days to three years. Dividend
yields range from 50.8% to 70% of the prime overdraft rate. The fair value of the preference shares which are redeemable within one year from the reporting
date is deemed to equal the redemption value. The fair value of the preference shares with a maturity date of longer than one year is calculated on a discounted
cash flow basis with the discount rate adjusted for changes in credit risk of the ultimate counterparty, being one of the large South African banks. Due to the
redeemable nature, the preference shares are deemed to be debt securities. The fair values of collective investment scheme investments are determined by the
closing unit price as quoted by the collective investment schemes. The collective investment schemes are not listed. The fair value of money market instruments
and other interest securities are determined based on observable market inputs. The derivative asset and liability are valued with reference to the closing bid price
of the underlying listed equities they relate to. Investment contract liabilities are valued with reference to the fair value of the underlying assets.
Level 3
The level 3 financial asset at fair value through profit or loss represents an investment in the OUTsurance Investment Trust, the value of which is not significantly
sensitive to an increase or decrease in the counterparty credit rating due to the collateralised nature of the transaction. The financial liabilities at fair value through
profit or loss represent profits arising out of the profit sharing arrangements that accrue on a monthly basis and which are distributed as preference dividends on
a six monthly basis.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY
During the year, the group changed its policy in respect of acquisition costs to allow for the deferral thereof on short-term policies with a term greater than a
month and long-term policies.
This change in accounting policy has been accounted for retrospectively and the comparatives have been restated. The effect of the change is as follows:
