Basis of preparation


This report covers the unaudited interim financial results of RMB Holdings Limited (RMH), based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), for the
six months ended 31 December 2016.


The primary results and accompanying commentary are presented on a normalised basis as we believe this most accurately reflects the group's
underlying economic performance. The normalised earnings have been derived from the unaudited, IFRS financial results. A reconciliation of the
adjustments made to derive normalised earnings is presented in the accompanying schedules.


Ellen Marais CA(SA) prepared these financial results under the supervision of Herman Bosman LLM CFA.


Who we are


RMH is a top 40 JSE-listed investment holding company with a 34% share in one of Southern Africa's leading banking and financial services groups, FirstRand


Our primary objective is to create long-term value for our shareholders


RMH was founded by leading South African businessmen GT Ferreira, Laurie Dippenaar and Paul Harris almost 40 years ago. It represents the merger of
Rand Consolidated Investments and Rand Merchant Bank, then owned and managed by Johann Rupert of Remgro. Our founding members still play an
important role in the decision-making of RMH.


Since its listing in November 1992, RMH has provided shareholders with a vehicle to co-invest with the founders of FirstRand.
In 2011, all insurance interests were separately listed as Rand Merchant Investment Holdings Limited (RMI). Since then, RMH has been a dedicated
investment vehicle into FirstRand.


In 2016 RMH announced the expansion of its investment strategy to include a property investment business alongside its investment in FirstRand. This
involves establishing a diversified portfolio of scalable entrepreneur-led businesses with proven track records in managing and building out property
portfolios.


Our portfolio


RMH is well-known for its entrepreneurship, innovation and value creation. We invest in businesses that can deliver superior earnings, dividend growth and
sustained capital growth. RMH specifically targets the wider financial services industry and industries complementary to its current portfolio.
RMH's main interest is its 34% investment in separately listed, FirstRand. The extension of the investment strategy to include property, involved the previously-
announced acquisition of a 27.5% interest in Atterbury Property Holdings Proprietary Limited (Atterbury) and a 34% interest in Propertuity, an urban
renewal business. In addition, during the period under review, RMH concluded a transaction to acquire 40% of Genesis Properties Three Proprietary Limited
(Genesis Properties), a mezzanine debt and equity funding business.


The RMH portfolio comprises:

                                 First National Bank (FNB)                       the retail and commercial bank

                                 Rand Merchant Bank (RMB)                        the corporate and investment bank
 FirstRand
                                 WesBank                                         the instalment finance business

                                 Ashburton Investments                           the group's investment management business


                                 Atterbury                                       a leading South African property group

 RMH Property                    Propertuity                                     an urban renewal business

                                 Genesis                                         a mezzanine debt and equity funding business


RMH is an influential shareholder and partners management in strategic dialogue. The group provides benefits such as broad-based black economic
(BBBEE) shareholding, portfolio optimisation and long-term focus.


Our dividend policy
We seek to achieve a sound balance between providing an attractive yield to shareholders and achieving sustained capital growth. RMH has a stated
policy of returning net dividends (after providing for funding and operational costs incurred at the centre) received in the ordinary course of business to
shareholders.


Our performance and outlook


Economic environment


The macroeconomic environment remained tough during the reporting period, with global and local political and economic uncertainty increasing.
The South African economy was impacted by rising unemployment and inflation, combined with lower business and consumer confidence. This resulted in
decreased household and business spending. The inflation rate remained well above the South African Reserve Bank's 6% upper-range, which prevented
any interest rate relief.


The Rand was supported by the fall in domestic imports and an increase in export growth as a result of a decrease in the trade deficit and a significant
improvement in South Africa's terms of trade.


The continued local political uncertainty negatively impacted local and international investor confidence. This was compounded by increased global
political uncertainty in the aftermath of the US election.


The macroeconomic environment in the rest of the sub-Saharan region remained challenging and experienced lower commodity prices, weakened
government finances, drought conditions and policy uncertainty.


Overview of results


Despite the challenging economic climate, FirstRand produced a satisfactory performance, increasing normalised earnings by 7% (2015: 9%) and
delivering a return on equity (ROE) of 22.9% (2015: 23.4%). The RMH results include the first contribution of R7 million by RMH Property, which was mostly
offset by an increase in finance cost due to an increase in funding of R925 million. RMH increased normalised earnings by 6% (2015: 9%) and produced
normalised earnings of R3.9 billion (2015: R3.6 billion). Normalised earnings per share amounted to 275.4 (2015: 258.8) cents per share. FirstRand franchises,
FNB, RMB and WesBank, all produced resilient operating results. RMH Property delivered results within RMH's investment expectation.


The RMH interim dividend of 153.0 (2015: 142.0) cents per share increased by 8% (2015: 16%). This is in line with RMH's stated policy of returning dividends to
shareholders after provision for RMH's funding and administrative costs.


Sources of income


FirstRand's well-diversified income stream is drawn from the full spectrum of banking services and is predominantly sourced from South Africa. RMH's
normalised earnings is made up as follows:

Underlying intrinsic value

2016: R79.4 billion) or 6 640 cents (June 2015: 5 625 cents) per share. This represented a 7.2% discount (June 2016: 6.1% discount) to RMH's underlying
intrinsic value. Net asset value per share increased 7% to 2 796.4 cents (June 2015: 2 709.1) per share.

Interim dividend payment


RMH's sole source of dividend income is its investment in FirstRand. FirstRand believes, that due to the sustained superior return profile and strong
performances from franchises, combined with a strong capital position and low growth in risk-weighted assets for the six months period to December
2016, an increase in dividend above earnings growth was appropriate. As a result, the dividend cover is slightly below FirstRand's stated long-term cover
range of 1.8 to 2.2. The range is assessed on an annual basis.


The board is of the opinion that RMH is adequately capitalised and that the company will be able to meet its obligations in the foreseeable future, after
payment of the interim dividend.


Having due regard to the interim dividend receivable from FirstRand and applying the dividend practice outlined above, the board of RMH has resolved
to declare a gross interim dividend of 153.0 cents per share (2015: 142.0 cents). This dividend is 1.8 times (2015: 1.8 times) covered by normalised earnings
per share and represents a year-on-year increase of 8% (2015: 16%).


Changes to the board of directors


In compliance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, RMH advises the following changes to its board of directors:
- Jannie Durand was appointed deputy chairman and non-executive director, effective 13 March 2017. He was previously alternate to Faffa Knoetze.
- In turn, Faffa Knoetze resigned as non-executive director from the RMH board effective the same day and was appointed as alternate to Jannie
  Durand effective 13 March 2017.


Outlook


Based on the FirstRand outlook and current macroeconomic conditions, the group expects economic growth to pick up in the second half of the year.
Global and local political uncertainty imposes downside risk.


RMH management will focus on the following during the rest of the year:


Diversify


Diversification of income stream and distribution of assets:
Identifying opportunities for our core and specialist portfolio in the newly-created property business.
Evaluate expanding RMH's geographic footprint further, either independently and/or through the existing portfolio.


Optimise


Optimisation of our established investments:
Will continue its strategic dialogue and activity across the portfolio and it will assist with capital planning and provide a funding platform for investee
companies.


Modernise


Modernisation:
RMH recognises the technological development in the global financial services industry.
Will continue to assess and invest in new business trends and disruptive technologies, either independently or in partnership with investee companies.


The board is of the opinion that the diversification of the income base of RMH, together with FirstRand's stated intent to continue to deliver ongoing
growth and superior returns, will contribute positively to returns for RMH shareholders over the short-, medium- and long-term. RMH has a strong pipeline of
potential property investment opportunities spanning a wide variety of niche sub-segments that meet the mandate of RMH's specialist property portfolio.
However, given the challenging macroeconomic outlook, RMH remains cautious in terms of deploying large amounts of capital into established property
portfolios, preferring to focus on partnering with entrepreneurs who have high levels of intellectual property and track records with less mature property
portfolios. There are no imminent transactions at this reporting date.

Basis of preparation of results


The accompanying condensed results for the six months ended 31 December 2016 reflect the operations of RMH and its proportionate interests in its
associates, which have been equity accounted.


The report is prepared in accordance with:


- International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting;
- The requirements of the South African Companies Act, 71 of 2008;
- SAICA Financial Reporting Guide, as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee;
- Financial Reporting Pronouncements as issued by Financial Reporting Standards Council; and
- The Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.


The results are prepared in accordance with the going concern principle under a historical cost basis, as modified by the fair value accounting of certain
assets and liabilities, where required or permitted by IFRS. This announcement is the responsibility of the directors. The information contained in this
announcement, including any forward-looking statements, do not constitute an earnings forecast and has not been reviewed and reported on by the
company's external auditor.


Accounting policies


These summarised results incorporate accounting policies that are consistent with those used in preparing the financial results for the year ended
30 June 2016.


There were no new or amended IFRS standards and interpretations which became effective for the first time in the current financial period.


Normalised results


RMH believes that normalised earnings more accurately reflect its operational performance. Headline earnings are adjusted to take into account the
following non-operational and accounting anomalies:


1. RMH's portion of normalised adjustment made by its associate, FirstRand Limited, which have a financial impact:
   - the Total Return Swap, which is an economic hedge against the share-based payment obligation;
   - FirstRand shares held for client trading activities;
   - IAS 19 measurement of plan asset; and
   - the consolidation of private equity subsidiaries, which is excluded from the Rule 1 exemption of Circular 2/2015, Headline Earnings per Share.


2. RMH shares held for client trading activities by FirstRand.


3. Adjustment to reflect earnings impact based on the actual RMH shareholding in FirstRand.
