UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1.   SALIENT FEATURES
     •   On 9 February 2023, the Group announced the placement of 265 million Pepkor Holding
         shares which reduced the Group’s interest from 51.1% to 43.9% resulting in a loss of control
         in Pepkor Holdings and a deemed disposal.
     •   Therefore, from 9 February 2023, Pepkor Holdings was recognised as an investment in
         associate with initial measurement based on the prevailing share price on that date.
     •   Pepkor Holdings was included as a discontinued operation until 8 February 2023, and
         thereafter included as an equity accounted investment in continuing operations. Comparative
         information has been restated accordingly.
     •   A gain of R4.0 billion was recognised in discontinued operations on the deemed disposal of
         Pepkor Holdings .
     •   Subsequent to the recognition of the associate, the Pepkor Holdings’ share price deteriorated
         and this resulted in an impairment of R3.8 billion, which has been included in continuing
         earnings.
     •   The derecognition of the SIHPL CPU and the recognition and subsequent remeasurement of
         the S155 Settlement Note with limited recourse, both within the wholly-owned subsidiary
         SIHPL, resulted in a net loss of R616 million (2022: gain of R17.5 billion).
     •   Operating profit from continuing operations decreased by 96% from R11.6 billion to R449
         million.
     •   Headline earnings per share decreased from 26 636.31 cents to 4 494.54 cents.
     •   Earnings per share decreased to 5 047.26 cents compared with earnings per share of
         26 543.59 cents in the comparative half year.
     •   On 17 March 2023, the Board declared a gross preference dividend of 393.96575 cents per
         preference share, which was paid on 24 April 2023.
