NEDBANK GROUP – UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR
THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

Nedbank Group Limited (“Nedbank Group“), the majority-owned South African banking subsidiary of Old Mutual
Limited, released a trading statement today, 7 August 2018.

The following is the opening comments from Mike Brown, Chief Executive of the Nedbank Group’s announcement.


“NEDBANK GROUP – UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR
THE 6 MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

Strong performance in a difficult environment

Nedbank Group delivered a strong performance in the first half of 2018, assisted by our share of associate income
from ETI as it returned to profitability, while our managed operations delivered positive, but slower, earnings
growth in line with our expectations. Headline earnings of R6,7bn increased 27,0% and ROE (excluding goodwill)
improved to 18,4%. Slow revenue growth and a gradual increase in impairments were offset by good cost
management. We maintained a strong balance sheet, as evident in our IFRS 9 fully phased-in CET1 ratio of
12,4% and the interim dividend per share increasing by 13,9%. Total assets exceeded R1 trillion for the first time.

Nedbank continues to make good progress in delivering market-leading client value propositions and digital
innovations. This focus has enabled us to increase our total client base to over eight million for the first time, grow
revenues and unlock operating efficiencies. In the second half of 2018 we look forward to the launch of more
exciting innovations for clients. Our strategic enablers, including ongoing technology investments, our people, our
culture and our brand, are creating a more client-focused, agile, competitive and digital Nedbank.

Given the strong growth in diluted headline earnings per share in the first half of 2018, together with expectations
of a slowly improving economic outlook and ongoing delivery on our strategy, our guidance for growth in diluted
headline earnings per share for 2018 remains unchanged, being in line with our medium-to-long-term target of
greater than or equal to GDP plus CPI plus 5%.

Mike Brown
Chief Executive”
