TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2015

Murray & Roberts, on a voluntary basis, advises shareholders of the Company (“shareholders”) that the
total headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) for continuing operations, will be less than 5% lower than the
prior comparable period, as illustrated in the table below:

                                     FY2014           FY2015                         FY2015
                                      Actual       Expected range                 Expected range
                                     (cents)            (%)                          (cents)
 Continuing operations
 Basic HEPS                              208          0%      -5%                   208      198
 Diluted HEPS                            205          0%      -5%                   205      195


Shareholders are also advised that, as disclosed in accordance with paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited, the total earnings per share (“EPS”) for continuing and discontinued
operations, is likely to vary by at least 20% from the prior comparable period, as illustrated in the table
below:

                                     FY2014           FY2015                         FY2015
                                      Actual       Expected range                 Expected range
                                     (cents)            (%)                          (cents)
 Continuing and
 discontinued operations
 Basic EPS                               310        -25%      -35%                  202      233
 Diluted EPS                             305        -25%      -35%                  198      229


The expected decrease in EPS from continuing and discontinued operations is primarily due to a profit
(trading and disposal) of R423 million on discontinued operations included in the FY2014 results and not
repeated in FY2015 results.

Since the Group Investor Day, which was held on 29 June 2015, there have been no material events
