TRADING STATEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Trading Update
Nutun South Africa and Nutun International remain customer-centric solution providers. Each has a clearly
defined target market, an established client base, a streamlined operating structure and an experienced
management team. These strengths support their positions in the South African collections and recovery
market and the South African business process outsourcing ("BPO") offshoring sector.
The simplified group is focused on two priorities. The first is profitability over the short-to-medium term. The
second is sustainable high-quality growth over the long term.
Operational performance during the period was strong, particularly for Nutun South Africa. Earnings were
however adversely affected by Rand strength and accelerated amortisation driven by forward looking macro-
economic assumptions including an elevated interest rate forecast relative to our expectations.

1. Earnings /(loss) from continuing operations exclude results from discontinued operations.
2. Core earnings from continuing operations is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated by adjusting headline
earnings with the following:
• Once-off transaction costs which are directly attributable to corporate activity (primarily legal and
consulting fees).
• Adjustments on put and call options over non-controlling interests, namely imputed interest on the put option
liability, re-measurements of the put option liability and fair value adjustments on the call option derivative .
• Once-off or accelerated items, where these are reasonably expected not to re-occur in the ordinary course
of business in future reporting periods.
• Adding back specified headline earnings exclusions, if the gain/loss is considered part of Nutun's normal
operations.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based on has not been reviewed by or reported on
by the group's external auditors.
