TRADING STATEMENT
Shareholders and noteholders are advised that Octodec expects distributable income per share (“DIPS”) for the year
ended 31 August 2026 (“FY2026”) to increase by between 11.0% and 13.0%, exceeding the growth guidance of between
3.0% and 5.0% communicated in the interim results announcement released on 12 May 2026.
The stronger-than-anticipated performance reflects the settlement of the loss of income insurance claim relating to the
gas explosion in the Johannesburg CBD, together with lower required expenditure on repairs and maintenance and
further savings in finance costs.
DIPS for FY2026 is expected to be between 190.37 cents and 193.80 cents, compared with 171.51 cents for the year
ended 31 August 2025 (“FY2025”), corresponding to an increase in dividends per share (“DPS”) of between 10.0% and
13.0%. DPS for FY2026 is expected to be between 147.95 cents and 151.99 cents, compared with 134.5 cents for
FY2025. The DPS payout ratio is in line with the prior year of approximately 78%.
As a result, the final dividend for the year is expected to be between 83.45 cents and 87.49 cents per share compared to
a final dividend paid of 72.50 cents per share for FY2025, representing an increase of between 15.1% and 20.7%.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the group’s
auditors. The audited FY2026 results are scheduled for release on 24 November 2026.
