Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
(Registration number: 2016/533398/06)
JSE & RSE Share Code: RHB, ISIN: ZAE000244737
("RHB" or "the Company")

SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

SUSTAINABLE INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO AND NET ASSET VALUE GROWTH

RHB has maintained its trajectory of Net Asset Value ("NAV") growth established at the prior financial year-
end, delivering strong performance for the six months ended 31 August 2025. The Company recorded an
increase of 4% in NAV (2024: 18%), underscoring steady progress in the execution and expansion of its
strategic objectives.

During the interim period, the Company through RH Bophelo Operating Company Proprietary Limited ("RHBO")
made the following investments:

•     Deployed capital to the value of R5,5 million to 1-Pharma Proprietary Limited ("MMED distribution") for
      working capital purposes; and
•     Deployed capital to the value of R2,0 million to RazoHealth Radiology Proprietary Limited ("Razohealth")
      for the expansion of one radiology site.


FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
The key financial indicators reflected in these financial results are as follows:

•     Investment income decreased by 18% when compared to the prior period at R44 million (2024: R52 million) 
      due to delayed dividend income in the current year;
•     Decrease in expenses due to lower finance costs and cost containment measures;
•     Basic earnings per share and headline earnings per share decreased from 29,63 cents to 29,44 cents
      per share;
•     Net asset value, net asset value per share and tangible net asset value per share increased by 4% from
      R1 054 million to R1 097 million and R16,29 to R16,96 respectively; and
•     The Company and its investments remain liquid and solvent, with sufficient resources to continue
      operating into the foreseeable future.
