Strong client growth in a challenging economy 
Active clients continued to grow with 648 000 new clients joining Capitec Bank in the past six months compared
to 561 000 in the previous six months. This positive movement is largely attributed to a combination of increased
branch distribution in key malls and a strong brand proposition of simplified banking and value for money.

Capitec Bank opened 31 new branches during the reporting period, bringing the total branches to 751. Branches
are open for retail trading hours during the week while 280 branches, primarily in shopping malls, are open for
seven days a week, ensuring that our banking offer is accessible when people really need it.

Consistently conservative
The current economic climate puts the consumer's ability to qualify for credit under pressure. Credit client
growth and the total book remain flat due to strict affordability guidelines and prudent credit assessments.
Based on continuous market assessment, we have limited credit extension to lower income earners, employees
in particular industries and more specifically to particular business units which we believe are at high risk of
having unstable income. This conservative approach to credit is characteristic of the business and will ensure
long-term sustainability.

Strong brand loyalty evident in banking client growth
The number of primary banking clients (those clients who make regular deposits – mainly salaries) has
grown in line with total client growth and represents 46% of all active clients. This trend is also evident in the
comprehensive AMPS survey which, according to the latest results for December 2015, indicated that 22.4%
of the banked population regard Capitec Bank as their primary bank, up from 20.6% for the period to June
2015. The number of primary banking clients is a strong indicator of commitment to the brand. These clients
are more profitable since they do on average 5 times more transactions than non-primary banking clients.

Higher efficiency through self-help banking
Net transaction fee income to operating expenses continued healthy growth to 70% for the six-month period
ended August 2016 (six months to August 2015: 61%; year ended February 2016: 66%). This is driven primarily
by higher transaction activity by our growing primary banking client base. Marginal price increases at the
beginning of the financial year were only applied to in-branch and cash-based transactions, while the pricing
of banking on our remote channels remained unchanged. Remote channel transactions are priced at less than
half of branch transactions. This is part of the bank's strategy to increase out-of-branch transacting, which will
improve capacity and efficiencies in the branches.

Over the past six months new functionality was added to our remote banking app in order to help clients manage
their money anytime from anywhere in the world. The number of clients banking on their phones using USSD
and the app has grown significantly to over 3.2 million.

Earnings up 19%
Earnings increased by 19.4% to R1.8 billion from R1.5 billion a year ago. Solid growth from loan fee income
and transaction fee income contributed to the strong year-on-year increase.

Net transaction fee income increased by 31%
Our transactional banking continues to grow rapidly in line with the increased client numbers and increased
transactions by clients, both in branch and using remote access. 

Net transaction fee income contributed 37% (six months to August 2015: 32%; year ended February 2016:
33%) of our net income.

We continually strive to offer our clients the best value proposition for their banking needs. We are therefore
proud that this was recognised in the recent Solidarity banking charges report that again found that Capitec
offers the most affordable bank account in South Africa. 

Operating costs increased by 13%
Operating costs for the six-month period were R2.6 billion, which represents a year-on-year increase of 13%
(six months to August 2015: R2.3 billion). The growth was as a result of employee numbers increasing by 13%
due to the expanding branch network and the employment of more people in key support departments, mainly
information technology. Premises, security and information technology were the other major contributors towards
the increase. The cost-to-income ratio decreased from 36% for the six-month period ended August 2015 to
34% for the six-month period ended August 2016. 

Capital expenditure increased 132% to R712 million for the six-month period ended August 2016 (August
2015: R307 million) due to an increase in the rollout of ATMs (R160 million), the opening of new branches and
spend on information technology. All of these are critical to support our growing client base whilst increasing
our footprint across the country.

Emphasis on our employees
Our client service, and therefore our success, depends on our staff. 352 of our staff attended leadership courses
during the six-month period ended August 2016, while 2 757 staff were involved in specific training courses.
All operational employees were involved in continuous training. We have accelerated leadership development
through three levels of management, from team leader to senior managers, across functions. 

Our focus during the period has been to review all our employee benefits. We introduced benefits that are
relevant and appropriate to our employees. This ranged from medical cover to financial health programs, and
also temporary disability cover. The reward is employee turnover that continued to be below the industry average
in the past half-year.

Gross loans and advances increased by 13%
Gross loans and advances grew by 13% year-on-year and by 5% from February 2016 to R42.8 billion (August
2015: R37.9 billion; February 2016: R40.9 billion). Net loan impairment expense to average gross loans and
advances increased to 6.2% for the six-month period ended August 2016 from 5.7% a year ago and 5.8% for
the six-month period ended February 2016. 

Given the challenging economic conditions, we continued to tighten our credit granting criteria. This resulted
in reducing credit risk by lending to better quality clients and granting fewer loans. Fewer high-risk, low value,
shorter-term loans were granted, resulting in a 5% year-on-year decrease in the number of loans granted and
an increase in the average size of new loans to R7 487 (August 2015: R6 157; February 2016: R6 577).

The overall term of the outstanding book shortened slightly to 39 months at August 2016 (August 2015:
41 months; February 2016: 40 months).

Arrears as a percentage of gross loans and advances increased to 6.0%
Arrears increased by 44% year-on-year and by 11% from February 2016 to R2.6 billion (August 2015: R1.8
billion; February 2016: R2.3 billion), while arrears to gross loans and advances increased to 6.0% (August 2015:
4.7%; February 2016: 5.6%). The tough economic conditions can impact clients in a number of ways. Client
financial stress increases and is exacerbated by additional financial stress on employers that can often result
in late or no salary payments. To address these risks, management responded decisively by changing granting
rules and increasing the provision for doubtful debts. 

Rescheduled loans
We reschedule loans to mitigate credit risk. Clients reschedule mainly to overcome temporary cash flow
shortages. Clients who are rescheduled from an arrears status show renewed willingness to pay and maintain
a relationship with Capitec that would be lost if they were handed over. For Capitec, rescheduling is an effective
collection strategy that is closely monitored by management on a daily basis. It is more profitable than handing
a client over to the legal process. 

Rescheduling a loan does not necessarily reduce the risk of default - hence a higher provision is maintained
on rescheduled loans in comparison to the remainder of the book. 

Loans that were rescheduled from arrears during the first six months of the year increased by 41% year-on-
year and by 7% from February 2016 to R1.6 billion (August 2015: R1.2 billion; February 2016: R1.5 billion). This
is due to a combination of the growth in our loan book, credit granting strategy changes implemented during
the 2016 financial year, validated rescheduling policy changes implemented during December 2015 as well as
the impact of the current economic conditions on our clients.

When a client reschedules a loan, all his loans are moved to a rescheduled segment resulting in a higher provision
percentage across all the loans. Furthermore, when a client reschedules out of arrears he is not considered
to be rehabilitated immediately and the arrears provision is maintained and released over time to ensure our
philosophy of conservative provisioning over the rehabilitation period.

Our provision model remains conservative
The provision for doubtful debts increased by 38% year-on-year and by 14% from February 2016 to R5.9 billion
(August 2015: R4.2 billion; February 2016: R5.1 billion).

The total provision compared to the gross loan book amounts to 13.7% at August 2016 (August 2015: 11.2%;
February 2016: 12.5%). The level of the provision to arrears remains high at 229% (August 2015: 239%; February
2016: 223%).

We provide 8% on up-to-date loans, 49% on loans one instalment behind, 79% for two instalments and 90%
for three instalments. We provide on average 52% on clients that rescheduled any of their loans whilst in
arrears within the last six months, although they are up-to-date in terms of the new agreement. For clients who
rescheduled any of their loans whilst up-to-date within the last six months and are still up to date, we provide on
average 17%. All provisions are based on the probability of further default. All outstanding balances of clients
who are 90 days in arrears on any loan are fully provided for or written off.

The gross loan impairment expense of R3.1 billion for the six-month period ended August 2016 increased by
25% year-on-year and by 14% from the six-month period ended February 2016. The table below analyses the
increases:

The net loan impairment expense to loan revenue was 38.6% for the six-month period ended August
2016, compared to 35.8% for the six-month period ended August 2015 and 36.2% for the year ended
February 2016. 

Arrears and book quality continue to perform within our risk appetite. 

Recoveries
Recoveries increased by 35% to R537 million for the six-month period ended August 2016, from R397 million
for the six-month period ended August 2015 and R457 million for the six-month period ended February 2016.
The increase was the result of more effective and efficient internal procedures as well as a larger handed over
book. The retrenchment book, which is fully insured, also increased in the current difficult economic conditions.

Capital remains strong
The annualised return on equity for the six-months was 26% (August 2015: 26%). Capitec remains well
capitalised and is generating sufficient profit to fund growth in the loan book. At August 2016, the capital
adequacy ratio was 34.0%.

Retail deposits grew by R8.4 billion
Retail deposits amounted to R43.0 billion at 31 August 2016, an increase of R8.4 billion to the prior
year. The continued growth in retail deposits indicates the strong brand acceptance of the bank. The value of
wholesale deposits declined to R8.4 billion at August 2016, from R10.4 billion at August 2015. This was as
a result of instruments that matured and were deliberately only partially refinanced due to strong retail fixed
deposit growth and good capital generation. At a bond auction on 6 May 2016, we received bids totalling
R2.2 billion and subsequently issued bonds totalling R750 million. We appreciate the continued support of the
domestic capital markets.

Capitec maintained its conservative liquidity policy, retaining long-term funding to match longer term assets.
Retail call deposits are not used to finance long-term loans.

The liquidity position remained healthy and in line with our conservative liquidity policy. We comfortably exceed
the Basel 3 liquidity standards, which measures our ability to survive severe stress due to a loss of support
from institutional funders. This also measures how well the bank matches cash inflows from assets with its
cash outflows to funders and depositors. 

Regulation
The Department of Trade and Industry ('DTI') published final regulations for interest rate limits and fees for credit
agreements that became effective from 6 May 2016. Capitec complies with the limits. The bank launched credit
life and retrenchment insurance products linked to lending products from 6 May 2016 under the proposed fee
limits. In principle we never charge clients a higher total credit fee than in the past.

We continue to support appropriate regulation enhancing the sustainability of the credit industry and to reduce
the cost of credit for consumers if this is done in a manner that is sustainable and achieves a balance between
affordability and access to credit.

Contingent liability
During February 2016 the National Credit Regulator ('NCR') alleged that Capitec Bank Limited had contravened
the National Credit Act and referred the matter to the National Consumer Tribunal. The referral was withdrawn
by the NCR on 21 September 2016. There are no more referrals pending between Capitec Bank and the NCR. 

Changes in board composition and executive management
Michiel le Roux stepped down as chairman on 27 May 2016 and was succeeded by Riaan Stassen, previous
chief executive of Capitec until 31 December 2013. Michiel continues to serve on the board as a non-executive
director. The chairman and the other members of the board thank Michiel on behalf of all stakeholders for his
exceptional leadership over the past nine years.

Gerrit Pretorius and Jackie Huntley, independent non-executive directors, stepped down from the board on 27
May 2016 and 21 September 2016 respectively. Nkosana Mashiya, executive: risk management, was appointed
as an executive director on 1 June 2016.

After 15 years of outstanding and dedicated service, Carl Fischer, co-founder of the bank responsible
for marketing and corporate affairs, retired in May 2016. We are indebted to Carl for his contribution in
developing the bank and his continued focus on client service. He is succeeded by Francois Viviers who has
been with Capitec since 2011.

Prospects
The slowdown in South Africa's economic growth will continue to place pressure on consumers. As the increase
in our client numbers over the past six months has shown, clients will continue to seek value and better service
from their bank. We will maintain our conservative approach to credit in the current conditions.

We remain relentless in the pursuit of continued service excellence and our strategy to be the best retail bank
for all South Africans.

Interim dividend

Segment analysis
Capitec reports a single segment – retail banking, operating only within the South African economic
environment. The business is widely distributed with no reliance on any major customers. The business sells a
single retail banking product 'Global One' that enables clients to transact, save and borrow.

Fair values
In terms of IFRS 13 'Fair value measurement', the fair value of loans and advances was R43.3 billion (August
2015: R39.4 billion), deposits and bonds was R51.6 billion (August 2015: R45.2 billion) and derivatives were
valued at R142.6 million asset and R17 million liability (August 2015: R103.6 million asset). The fair value of loans
and advances was calculated on a level 3 basis and deposits and bonds and derivative assets were calculated
on a level 2 basis. Investments designated at fair value are valued using the market approach on a level 2 basis.
The fair value of all other financial instruments equates to their carrying amount.

Unaudited interim financial statements
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with International
Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 'Interim Financial Reporting', the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued
by the Accounting Practices Committee, Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting
Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, as amended. The accounting
policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are in terms of International Financial
Reporting Standards and are consistent with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial
statements except for standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards, applied for the first
time during the current financial period, which did not have any impact on the financial statements. The Group
complies in all material respects with the requirements of King III. Basel disclosures in terms of Regulation
43 of the Banks' Act are available on the Capitec Bank website.

No event, that is material to the financial affairs of the Group, has occurred between the reporting date and the
date of approval of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements was supervised by the chief financial
officer, André du Plessis CA(SA).
