Unsecured lending competitive with the secured credit market

We now offer unsecured credit at an interest rate from as low as 12.9%. There are no legal or administration costs to
register an asset and the loan is instantly available with no waiting period. 

We make banking simple to suit the needs of our clients. Our understanding of the circumstances of our clients in an
economy under severe pressure, enables us to challenge what we do and make adjustments to address demands in the market.
The personalised solutions produce real value for our clients. The Global One solution remains the most affordable bank
account in the market when considering transaction fees, and interest of at least 5.1% is earned on any positive balance
in any account. The monthly fee on our credit card was reduced to R35 per month.

South Africans appreciate that we help them manage their financial lives better, so they can live better. By the end of
August 2017, we had 9.2 million active clients and increased our number of branches to 811. This represents client
growth of 106 000 per month over the last 12 months. 

We made further progress on our out-of-branch transacting strategy with self-service banking transactions (cellphone
banking app, internet banking, self-service terminals and dual note recyclers) increasing by 43%. This improves
accessibility for clients. Allowing clients to bank from anywhere, anytime and in any way, ensures clients are always in
full control. 

We were placed first in the overall mobile banking category by the SITEisfaction® 2017 survey. The simplicity and great
user experience of our internet and mobile banking resulted in Capitec being voted South Africa's best digital bank of
2017.

Being recognised as the fastest growing overall brand in South Africa and voted the best bank in the world for the
second time in a row according to Lafferty Group's annual Bank Quality Ratings survey, serves as a reminder to
constantly improve and set standards higher than any accolades received. We retain our focus of exceptional personal
service and delivery of simple, transparent solutions. 

17% growth in earnings

Our headline earnings increased by 17% to R2.05 billion for the current 6 month period from R1.75 billion in the prior
year corresponding 6 month period. Return on shareholders' equity for the current period is 26%.

Net lending and investment income increased with 10% despite introducing our improved credit solution and applying a
stricter granting strategy. Arrears and rescheduled loans decreased with 14% while the net loan impairment expense
increased with 8%. 

Net transaction fee income increased by 29% and operating expenses increased 20% from the prior year period in support
of our growth initiatives.

Our improved credit solution 

Continuous improvement of our credit offer is key to our vision. In the process of offering personalised credit and
improving our processes and systems, better interest rate options are available to our clients. The best possible
amount, term and interest rate offered to clients are based on the clients' past bank and credit behaviour,
affordability and stability of their source of income. We have strengthened our credit solution to allow clients to
choose either the amount that suits their needs, monthly instalment that suits their cash flow or an option that gives
them the best interest rate.

We continue to improve our understanding of our clients' behaviour and risk profiles that allow us to price loans
accordingly and achieve a healthier, more sustainable loan book. 

We have reduced our monthly fee on our credit card which will apply to all existing and new clients. There is no charge
on any foreign exchange conversion cost when travelling overseas. The credit card is fully integrated into the Global
One solution, earning interest of at least 5.1% on a positive balance.

We welcome the final Credit Life Insurance Regulations that came into effect on 9 August 2017. Although there are still
some matters that need to be addressed, the regulations eliminate some ambiguity and prevent credit providers from
taking unacceptable high risks that can hurt clients financially. Our credit agreements concluded on or after 9 August
2017 meet all the necessary requirements and fee limits of insuring our clients' loans for death, permanent and
temporary disability, unemployment or when our clients are unable to earn an income.

All fees are priced with our clients' best interest in mind. For all credit life cover, we price according to the
client's risk and loan balance that remains outstanding. The fee therefore adjusts downward over the term of the loan as
the capital on the loan is repaid. This ensures our clients only pay to cover the value of the loan balance that remains
at risk. As the fees previously charged were below the regulatory limits implemented on 9 August 2017, our clients and
our profitability were not adversely impacted by these regulatory changes.

Unfortunately, the regulations also allow credit providers the option to retain the premium cost at the loan inception
value even though the balance outstanding decreases over the period of the loan. We are working with the Regulator to
resolve these differences.

The health of our loan book 

With our stricter granting strategy, we have extended loans to better quality clients, aligned to support their needs.
Gross loans and advances with a product term between 61 and 84 months increased by R1.2 billion and the credit card book
increased by R1.3 billion in the current period.

Loans and advances in the up-to-date not rescheduled status, as a percentage of gross loans and advances increased from
78.7% to 82.1%. Arrears as a percentage of gross loans and advances decreased from 6.0% to 5.4%. The increase in
up-to-date status and decrease in arrears is a direct result of our improved granting strategy, and the increased number
of clients in debt review. 

The current 6 month period experienced a 58% increase of loan balances in debt review. As per our bad and doubtful debt
methodology, a client in debt review is fully written-off, regardless of loan status and does not proceed into arrears
as a client that misses an instalment would. More clients are applying for debt review due to cash flow pressures and
major marketing drives by debt management firms that currently promote debt review as a solution to the difficulty being
experienced.  In many cases the consequences of going into debt review are not in the best interest of clients.

Loans rescheduled from an up-to-date status within the last 6 months as a percentage of gross loans and advances
decreased from 3.6% to 2.3% and arrears rescheduled within the last 6 months as a percentage of gross loans and advances
decreased from 3.8% to 3.0% in the current period. This is a result of our rescheduling policy changes and implementing
stricter rules of preventing lower risk clients from rescheduling from an up-to-date loan status, and clients in arrears
from rescheduling for a second or a third time if their risk is deemed to be too high.

Loan revenue, in-line with loan book growth, increased with 10% for the current period. The implementation of
improvements to our credit solution allowed us to provide more competitive interest rates, making our offer more
attractive to quality consumers and which we expect should in turn, achieve a lower bad debt rate.

The table below presents the increase in the gross loan impairment expense for the current 6 month period:

                                                 Six months ended                       Change %

A significant portion of the 42% increase in bad debt write-offs was as a result of the increased number of clients
under debt review and the change in rescheduling policy provided for in the previous financial year which materialised
in the current period.

The total movement of the provision for doubtful debts in the current year remained flat as a result of the tightening
our of credit granting criteria, advancing better quality loans with lower risk and resultant lower arrears and
rescheduled loan balances.

Strong transactional growth of 29% remains

Our quality banking client (a client becomes a quality banking client if they have stable inflows into their account and
stable product usage over a consecutive 3 month period) growth was 21%. The increase in self-service banking transaction
volume of 231 million this period compared to 162 million of the prior year period has contributed to 95% of our clients
now waiting less than 15 minutes in a branch to be served. 

Our net transaction fee income covered 76% of our operating expenses (August 2016: 70%) and contributed 40% of our net
income (August 2016: 37%) achieving further income diversification.

Cost-to-income ratio of 36%

Operating costs increased by 20% from R2.6 billion to R3.2 billion in the current period. The main reason for the
increase in costs relate to the increase in employees, increased salary incentives (due to a 55% increase in our share
price), information technology and marketing expenditure to ensure our growth aspirations are appropriately supported. 

15 new branches were opened during the current period compared to 31 during the prior year period, driven by the focus
on self-service banking. This resulted in a decrease in capital expenditure of 34%.

Average deposit growth of R1 billion per month

Our continued brand acceptance growth resulted in a 28.7% increase in retail deposits to R55.4 billion by the end of
August 2017 (August 2016: R43.0 billion).

We continued to manage our wholesale funding downwards to R7.0 billion during this period (August 2016: R8.4 billion).
This was due to the increase in fixed retail deposits and profit contribution to fund the growth in loans and advances.
We however will always retain wholesale funding exposure and strong support from the market was confirmed during our May
2017 bond issuance of R500 million that was 4.2 times oversubscribed.

Strong capital and low liquidity risk

We retained a capital adequacy ratio of 34.6% at the end of August 2017. We have sufficient capital to meet our growth
requirements. During the current period, we continued to repurchase preference shares that are subject to the applicable
phase-out rules in terms of Basel 3.

Our approach to liquidity risk remains conservative and to reduce the risk, call deposits are only utilised for the loan
book to a limited extent. We comply with the Basel 3 liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR).
Our LCR is 1 187% (August 2016: 991%) and our NSFR is 199% (August 2016: 152%). Our internal liquidity requirements have
always been stricter than the Basel ratios.

Resilient credit rating

S&P Global affirmed Capitec Bank Limited's global long-term credit ratings of BB+ on 5 September 2017. The global
ratings carry a negative outlook linked to the sovereign's negative outlook. We were not downgraded along with the
sovereign and other South African banks earlier this year. This means that we are now rated the same as the sovereign
and the other South African banks. S&P Global recalibrated their national scale ratings after the sovereign was
downgraded, resulting in our national scale long-term ratings increasing with three notches from the beginning of the
year to zaAA.

Prospects

We believe that our DNA of client centric values, energy and ownership in everything we do, achieves personal service
that ensures long-lasting relationships with our clients. We believe that this approach gives us a competitive edge. 

The real value we generate for our clients through personal service and delivery of affordable, accessible financial
solutions drives the growth of our company.

Investing in our people and infrastructure supports this growth and allows us the opportunity to create jobs, stimulate
the economy and ultimately transform the country in which we live.

Reclassification:

As part of the review of the group's basis of preparation policy to consistently comply with IFRS and interpretation
issued by the IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC), in February 2017 we have reclassified loan origination fees to be
included in interest income and not form part of loan fee income as previously presented.

The portion of loan origination fees that relate to the creation of a financial asset is amortised over the term of the
loan on an effective interest rate basis, with the unamortised portion of the fees recorded as  deferred loan fee income
contained within net loans and advances to clients.

The impact of this reclassification for August 2016 is presented as follows:

As part of the JSE proactive monitoring of financial statements, issuers were advised that classification of an item
within the statement of cash flows, i.e. whether it relates to operating, financing, or investing activities, is equally
important to users as the final net cash position. For this purpose, during 2017 we have split the funding of our
deposits and wholesale funding to reclassify the movement of bonds (subordinated debt and listed bonds) under financing
activities and not under operating activities as previously disclosed.

Reclassification of August 2016:

Segment analysis 

Capitec reports a single segment - retail banking. 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 R43.8 billion (August 2016: R43.3
billion), deposits and bonds were R62.9 billion (August 2016: R51.6 billion), derivative assets was valued at R63.5
million (August 2016: R142.6 million), available-for-sale investment was R102 million (August 2016: nil) and derivative
liabilities was R73.5 million (August 2016: R17 million). The fair value of loans and advances and available-for-sale
investment was calculated on a level 3 basis and deposits and bonds and derivative assets and liabilities were
calculated 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).
