TRANSACTION CAPITAL
PROVISIONAL AUDITED SUMMARISED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2015
COMMENTARY
OVERVIEW
At the core of Transaction Capital's 2015 three year strategy is the reconstitution of its portfolio of assets into two autonomous and decentralised divisions of
scale, being the asset-backed lending and risk services divisions. The restructuring of the divisions, together with their leading and defensive market positions
has enabled Transaction Capital to prosper despite South Africa's challenging macro- and socio-economic environment. Transaction Capital's financial,
credit and operational performance was in line with expectations for the 2015 financial year, growing headline earnings per share organically by 20% to
69.0 cents, whilst continuing to report an improvement in all credit metrics.
ENVIRONMENT
South Africa's economic growth remains constrained, exacerbated by various macro- and socio-economic challenges. Employment levels have remained low
for a prolonged period, with little or no real wage growth. Economic pressure has intensified due to recent currency weakness, a 50 basis point increase in
the repo interest rate over the last 12 months (with a likelihood of further increases as the US Fed raises rates), and increased electricity and fuel costs. The
level of social unrest and protest action continues to increase mainly as a result of the stressed macro- and socio-economic environment. The combined effect
of these conditions, in addition to electricity supply constraints, results in pressure on the economy as a whole with both the consumer and the small-to-
medium enterprise (SME) sectors remaining at risk.
While both the asset-backed lending and risk services divisions perform better in a positive economic environment, they are also highly defensive businesses
intentionally positioned to withstand these difficult economic conditions.
This depressed consumer economy provides Transaction Capital's risk services division with substantial opportunity to take advantage of its strong market
position and reputation, as its clients strive to mitigate credit and operational risks associated with their customer base, reduce costs, simplify processes, raise
capital and improve working capital cash flow via our credit risk management and capital solutions.
The estimated national fleet of circa 200 000 privately owned minibus taxis remains the primary means of transport for most South African commuters,
accounting for an estimated 69% of all household trips. The replacement of ageing minibus taxis continues to create robust demand for the finance, vehicles
and related services provided by SA Taxi, intensified by the under-supply of Premium minibus taxis into the South African vehicle market. Furthermore,
regardless of the depressed consumer economy, with transport spend being non-discretionary, commuters' use of minibus taxis has remained consistently
high.
The regulatory environment remains volatile. Regulatory changes have been proposed or enacted regarding caps on interest rates, fees and related credit
insurance premium charges. Legislation containing amendments to the National Credit Act (specifically as regards the prescription of debt) was enacted
earlier this year while regulations regarding affordability assessments have also been introduced. Finally, recent court activity regarding the use of emolument
attachment orders has been widely publicised and awaits clarification from the Constitutional Court. None of this should have a material financial impact on
Transaction Capital's risk services division, as business processes were aligned and amended in anticipation of these changes almost three years ago.
Furthermore, these events are largely irrelevant to the asset-backed lending division.
EARLY ADOPTION OF IFRS 9
Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement released by Transaction Capital on 18 November 2015 for a detailed explanation of the early
adoption of IFRS 9, as well as to Annexure 1 to this SENS announcement which further sets out the impact of the adoption and presents pro forma
information for the 2014 financial year as if Transaction Capital adopted IFRS 9: Financial Instruments - classification and measurement (IFRS 9) on
1 October 2013. This will enable a like-for-like comparison between current and prior year results.
Excess capital held since the sale of two of its subsidiaries, Bayport Financial Services (Pty) Ltd and Paycorp Holdings (Pty) Ltd in the 2014 financial year,
positioned Transaction Capital well to early adopt IFRS 9 and absorb the resulting one-off equity adjustment. In summary, the early adoption of IFRS 9 results
in the following benefits to Transaction Capital:
- Accounting policies are more closely aligned to Transaction Capital's operational and risk management policies and strategic intentions;
- Increased provisions result in lower balance sheet risk, an approach favoured by management, especially in challenging economic conditions; and
- Future uncertainty relating to the implementation of IFRS 9 on financial results and ratios has been removed.
In addition to the general benefits explained above, there are two specific benefits of early adoption for our operating divisions:
- Asset-backed lending: The compulsory reclassification of Entry-level vehicle loans to fair value under IFRS 9 requires the business to consider all forward
looking information and risks in the measurement of the asset class at market related discount rates rather than applying information arising from past events
as required by IAS 39. This forward looking methodology results in lower fair values for this category of assets under IFRS 9 than the net carrying value
(after provisions) as calculated according to IAS 39. This methodology aligns with management's strategy to accelerate the discontinuance of the Entry-level
vehicle loan portfolio, now comprising only 2% of loans and advances, and thus achieving the objective of operating an exclusively premium vehicle
business from a financial perspective.
- Risk services: The application of IFRS 9 results in a better alignment of the amortisation profile of purchased book debts with the expected collections
profile.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
The financial tables and commentary incorporated in this SENS announcement provide a comparison of the 2015 results prepared in accordance with
IFRS 9 with: (i) the 2014 published results prepared in accordance with IAS 39 and (ii) pro forma 2014 results calculated as if IFRS 9 was adopted on
1 October 2013. Throughout this document, all 2014 comparatives are pro forma numbers calculated as if IFRS 9 was adopted on 1 October 2013,
unless otherwise indicated with a *. This is to enable comparison on a 'like-for-like' basis. Numbers marked with a * are based on previously published
2014 numbers prepared in terms of IAS 39. The pro forma financial information has been reported on by Deloitte & Touche in terms of International
Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 - Assurance Engagements to Report on the compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information and their Reporting
Accountants Report can be inspected at the registered office of the company and the assumptions underlying these numbers are set out in Annexure 1 to this
SENS announcement.

Transaction Capital's operations delivered pleasing results in line with expectations, despite challenging market conditions. Headline earnings from
continuing operations grew by 19% from R330* million to R393 million and continuing headline earnings per share increased by 20% from 57.3* cents
per share to 69.0 cents per share. When compared to 2014 IFRS 9 pro forma numbers the headline earnings growth is 30% and headline earnings per
share growth is 32%.
Net interest income increased by 13%, driven by a 10% growth in gross loans and advances from R6 089 million to R6 713 million and increases in the
prime interest rate offset in part by a higher average cost of borrowings of 10.7% from 10.4% the year before. Non-interest revenue increased by 5% to
R1 195 million, mostly driven by MBD's improved agency collections but offset by a more subdued contribution from insurance operations. The cost-to-
income ratio has improved to 64.2% from 67.8% last year.
Effective collection strategies, strict credit origination criteria and an improved quality of repossessed vehicles produced by Taximart have continued to
promote improved credit metrics. Consequently, the non-performing loan (NPL) ratio showed excellent improvement from 18.8% to 17.0%, the credit loss
ratio improved from 4.2% to 3.6%, and NPL coverage strengthened from 47.9% to 48.6%.
Return on average equity increased to 16.7% in the current period driven by the increase in earnings, effective but conservative capital deployment, as well
as the lower equity base resulting from the IFRS 9 adoption.
Transaction Capital's equity and debt capital position remains robust, despite the IFRS 9 equity charge, with a capital adequacy level of 43.3% and
uninterrupted access to the debt capital markets.

The asset-backed lending division utilises its proprietary data sets and vertically integrated specialist capabilities to extend developmental credit, insurance,
telematics, technology and allied services to the underserved and emerging SME market. Leveraging off its market positioning and strong balance sheet, the
asset-backed lending division is:
- the leading provider of financial and allied services to SMEs in the fixed route minibus taxi industry. The division continues to entrench its strong market
position encompassing the entire value chain within the fixed route minibus taxi industry, by augmenting its distinctive competencies well beyond credit
assessment, collections and capital mobilisation. SA Taxi continues to uplift, diversify and enhance its revenue via the procurement and direct sales of new
vehicles, the re-sale of refurbished vehicles and telematics services. Another key component of the value chain from which SA Taxi benefits is its short-term
insurance business which continues to grow both its financed and non-financed policy portfolios. New developments include the planned establishment of
a dedicated SA Taxi panel repair facility and vehicle dealership, to augment Taximart's refurbishment and direct sales capabilities;
- realising its intention to apply its competencies in adjacent markets where it is able to create defensible positions, such as the financing of income
producing vehicles including bakkies used by SMEs and metered and Uber point-to-point taxis.
With moderate growth in gross loans and advances, improving credit metrics and a stable net interest margin and cost-to-income ratio it is evident that SA
Taxi's credit, operational and financial performance is robust. The division increased headline earnings by 20% to R212 million from R176 million in the
prior year, by way of a 12% increase in gross loans and advances, no change in the impairment expense, and a continued diversification of its revenue
streams. The stable impairment charge despite the growth in the loans and advances was driven by improved credit quality and a better construct of its
loans and advances with only 2% being Entry-level vehicles.
Credit granting criteria remained conservative and access to new Premium vehicles was interrupted from March 2015 onwards due to the temporary closure
by Toyota of its local assembly facility to enable a full plant rebuild. The constrained supply of new Toyota minibus taxis has however, provided SA Taxi with
an opportunity to re-finance more of its repossessed and refurbished vehicles as well as the recently launched Nissan minibus taxi.
Credit losses have improved from 4.4% in the prior year to 3.9% due to the improved quality of loans and advances, as well as the efficiency of the
procurement, repair and resale operations of Taximart (now one of the largest Toyota repair centres in Southern Africa).
Continued strong collection trends and the improved quality of repossessed vehicles produced by Taximart, have resulted in an improved NPL ratio of 18.2%
from 20.5% the year before.
With Entry-level vehicles comprising a minimal proportion of loans and advances, Transaction Capital expects the NPL ratio to remain in the high teens and
the credit loss ratio to remain around 4% over the medium term.
The net interest margin has remained stable at a healthy level of 11.3%, while the cost of borrowing increased slightly from 9.7% to 10.0% due to the
recent focus on raising offshore funding which is priced more expensively.
SA Taxi's cost-to-income ratio has improved slightly from 48.9% for the comparative period, and remains lean at 48.7%.

The risk services division provides customer management and capital solutions, leveraging its large consumer credit data base, analytical capabilities and
technology, thus improving its clients' ability to originate, manage and collect from their customers. The division works with large consumer credit providers
across multiple industries, including banking, credit retailer, telecommunications, insurance, specialist lending, the public sector; as well as providing working
capital and commercial receivables management solutions to SMEs.
The risk services division will build upon its leading market position, long established relationships, efficient operating platform and highly experienced team
to:
- develop industry specialisation and bespoke solutions to go deeper into existing verticals, with specific focus on the credit retail, banking and specialist
lending market segments;
- apply its scalable platform and expertise to expand into adjacent verticals; with both the insurance and telecommunications market sectors identified as
growth segments, whilst continuing to focus on the public and municipal sectors;
- maximise the combined division's capabilities through a coordinated go-to-market approach;
- provide solutions earlier in the collections cycle and over time expand to offer full BPO solutions; and
- leverage its equity capital with external debt to design and deliver innovative, client specific capital solutions, thus increasing the volume and size of
principal portfolios to be acquired.
At the beginning of the financial year, the executive team of the risk services division was restructured and augmented to facilitate the above strategic
objectives. The reconstitution of this division has yielded promising results, with headline earnings increasing by 16%* to R134 million. Despite earnings
growth in MBD and Rand Trust exceeding 30%, the disappointing performance of Principa, driven mainly by the challenging local consumer credit
environment together with losses in its Qarar joint venture, significantly tempered performance. For these reasons, the Qarar joint venture was sold during
September 2015 to Simah, Principa's Saudi joint venture partner.
The 11% increase in non-interest revenue from R861 million to R953 million during this period was encouraging, despite the challenging consumer
environment. The risk services division continues to make pleasing progress with its existing and newly identified clients, with further benefits being realised
from lucrative capital deployment opportunities. The division progresses with caution in the municipal sector as most municipalities are in financial distress.
Principal portfolios acquired this year are performing in line with expectations, with further books being purchased for R166 million in the current financial
year. MBD currently owns 154 principal book portfolios.
A continued focus on effective cost management contributed to an improved cost-to-income ratio of 82.5% from 86.9% in the prior year.
GROUP EXECUTIVE OFFICE
The group executive office contributed R51 million to headline earnings in the current year, an increase of 34% from prior year earnings of R38 million,
largely driven by cost savings as a result of the simplified group office structure.
FUNDING AND CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The local funding market is characterised by constrained liquidity and issuers paying a premium for access to a reduced funding pool. Although local
investors have been more cautious in their approach, Transaction Capital has enjoyed uninterrupted access to both local and international funding pools.
SA Taxi returned to the local listed debt capital markets during April and November 2015 via the issuances of credit rated debt instruments via the
asset-backed note programme of Transsec (RF) Ltd, successfully raising slightly less than R1 billion on a cumulative basis. To augment SA Taxi's access to the
listed debt capital markets, our funding strategy remains innovative and continuously pursues multiple tactics in order to further diversify SA Taxi's funding
base and access new pools of capital. As usual, the remainder of SA Taxi's debt requirement was successfully raised via both offshore and local unlisted
funding sources.
PROSPECTS
The reconstitution of Transaction Capital's portfolio of assets under two distinct divisional pillars and the devolvement of authority and responsibility to
competent divisional management teams is largely complete. This has enabled the group to focus on deploying its capital and resources to drive organic
and acquisitive growth, thus enhancing the scale and entrenching the leading market positions of its divisions.
These divisions operate in market segments of the financial services sector perceived to be of higher risk that require a greater level of specialisation, which
the group's businesses have developed and refined over a number of years. Transaction Capital's strategy is to augment and refine its specialised
competencies to achieve deep vertical integration within its chosen market segments, as well as to leverage its existing and scalable platforms to create
defensible positions within identified adjacent market segments.
Considering the low growth costs in the South African economy and its many challenges coupled with asset values which are at elevated levels, and in light
of the attractive risk adjusted returns being achieved organically from Transaction Capital's established businesses, management remains circumspect and
conservative in its acquisitive search. Transaction Capital favours a narrow focus on assets whose value can be enhanced by active management within its
existing divisions. Transaction Capital thus applies stringent criteria when evaluating potential investments to ensure acquisitions will either enhance its
specialist capabilities, enable access to adjacent market segments or diversify risk via international expansion.
In light of Transaction Capital's positioning within this socio-economic context, management believes that it is well positioned to achieve continued growth in
the medium term.
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
In line with the stated dividend policy of 3 to 4 times and following the interim dividend of 10 cents per share, the board has declared a final gross cash

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION CONTINUED
Notes and assumptions
The "before" statement of financial position, income statement and statement of other comprehensive income
are the audited published consolidated financial results of TCL at 30 September 2014.
1. The adoption of IFRS 9 results in the increase of the provision on trade and other receivables to reflect an
expected loss.
2. This represents gross loans and advances, as well as the related provision which continues to be held at
amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 9 given TCL's business model to collect contractual cash flows and
includes Premium level vehicles only.
3. This adjustment to gross loans and advances includes the following:
Reclassification of Entry-level gross loans and advances to loans and advances held at fair value* (807)
Reclassification of suspended interest on credit impaired assets (Premium vehicles)** (35)
(842)
* Included in this balance of R807 million is repossessed stock of R142 million.
** The gross outstanding balance will increase each month based on the interest accrued for assets
considered to be in a credit impaired state. The gross loans and advances and the provision held
against these loans will be adjusted to reflect interest that has been suspended.
For more information, refer to note 2 in the consolidated income statement.
4. The adoption of IFRS 9 results in the reversal of the written off book valuation in accordance with paragraph
5.4.4 of IFRS 9 as the effects of post write off recoveries are now considered in the IFRS 9 credit
impairment model (R32m).
5. The provision for doubtful debts after the adoption of IFRS 9 relates to the Premium vehicles. Included in the
IFRS 9 adjustment are the following:
Reclassification of the provision on Entry-level vehicles to 'loans and advances held at fair value' 152
Reclassification of suspended interest on credit impaired assets 35
Measurement impact of the adoption of IFRS 9* (349)
(162)
* The expected loss is calculated on the gross loans and advances by applying the following formula:
Expected loss = Gross loans and advances x Probability of default (PD) x Loss given default (LGD).
This approach is consistent with the methodology applied in the 2015 audited financial results, and all
parameters are recalculated based on 2014 information.
The expected loss calculations are performed before the interest in suspense (IIS) adjustments:
Pre-IIS IIS As
adjustment adjustment reported
Gross loans and advances 5 433 (35) 5 398
Impairment provision (561) 35 (526)
The LGD term is calculated explicitly using the appropriate time to default (TTD), exposure at default (EAD),
time to repossession (TTR), expected future recovery value and contractual interest rate, as recalculated at 30
September 2014 based on the methodology applied in the 2015 audited financial results.
6. Loans and advances held at fair value include entry level vehicles which have been reclassified to fair value
through profit and loss given TCL's business model of managing these assets on a fair value basis in
accordance with IFRS 9.
The fair value at 30 September 2014 represents management's expectation of future cash flows, taking
account of the anticipated value of the collateral discounted at a market related rate of 25%. This approach
is consistent with the methodology applied in the 2015 audited financial results.
7. The adoption of IFRS 9 will result in the creation of, or increase in deferred tax assets based on IAS12,
'Income Tax'. The deferred tax asset has been recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable
profits will be available against which to utilise deductible temporary differences.

8. The total impact on retained earnings as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9.
9. The expected loss model requires an increase of R4 million to the provision against loans and advances in
Rand Trust.
10. Purchased book debts are now carried at the uncapped amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 9
(previously capped amortised cost) based on the Group's business model of activating cash flows from its
purchased book debts. The adjustment is calculated as the difference between the purchased book debts
carrying value per the prior year audited results and the amount computed by applying the revised expected
loss model compliant with IFRS 9. The following assumptions were made in the application of the expected
loss model:
- The gross cash flows used as input to the expected loss model remained unchanged;
- The expected loss model was computed by applying a mathematical curve bringing forward the timing of
expected future credit losses in a manner consistent with past experience of their timing;
- The explanatory contribution of macro-economic factors was tested and found to be insignificant. It was
therefore concluded that the timing of future expected credit losses is sufficiently explained by micro-
economic factors within the purchased book debts;
11. The adoption of IFRS 9 will result in the decrease in deferred tax liabilities based on IAS12, 'Income Tax'.
12. The total impact on retained earnings as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9.
13. No events which would have a material impact on the financial position of the group have taken place
between 30 September 2015 and the date of release of this report.

Notes and assumptions
The "before" statement of income statement are the audited published consolidated financial results of TCL at 30 September 2014.
1. This interest in suspense is reclassified from interest income to impairment of loans and advances and represents interest suspended for the
period 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2014, which under IFRS 9 is not recognised.
The interest raised on the gross balance of all credit impaired advances are adjusted to reflect interest on only the net carrying value. The
same approach is applied to all loans held at fair value.
The calculation is as follows: suspended interest = average rate x average gross outstanding balance - average rate x average net
carrying value, where the rate = contractual interest across the average loan book for the respective period.
2. This represents the movement on the IFRS 9 provision for the period 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2014 and includes the following
components:
Fair value gains and losses on 'loans and advances held at fair value'* (21)
Current year measurement impact of the adoption of IFRS 9* 20
Trade and other receivables 1
Gross Loans and advances 22
Written off book (2)
Reclassification of suspended interest on credit impaired assets 89
88
* The provision and fair value at 30 September 2013 was calculated by applying the restated IFRS 9 coverage ratio
as determined at 30 September 2014 to the gross loans balance at 30 September 2013. The movement results in a
net R1.1 million increased impairment charge for the year.
3. Represents the tax effects of the above IFRS 9 adjustments for the current period.
Tax effect of IFRS 9 adjustments (calculated at 28%) - R453 000, therefore less than R1 million and rounded to zero.
4. Adjustment to the carrying amount of purchased book debts as relates to the year ended 30 September 2014. The adjustment was
calculated by rerunning the new IFRS 9 compliant amortised cost model as at 30 September 2013 and comparing the outcome to the
audited results of September 2013. This amount was calculated as R43 million. The difference of R38 million (R81 million - R43 million) is
the adjustment relating to September 2014.
5. Deferred tax effect of the 2014 year adjustment to the carrying amount of purchased book debts.
6. All IFRS 9 adjustments represent adjustments of a continuing nature.
