Executive review
Operating conditions were very challenging during the first six months of 2018 across a number of markets where Sanlam operates.
Investment market volatility, a stronger average Rand exchange rate and a weak South African economy in particular dampened growth
prospects for our key performance indicators. The Group's well-diversified profile across geographies, market segments and client
offerings again provided resilience against these headwinds, enabling us to deliver an acceptable operational performance for the six
months ended 30 June 2018. Annualised adjusted Return on Group Equity Value (RoGEV) per share of 18,2% exceeded the 2018 target of 13%,
further strengthening our track record of consistent shareholder value creation.
Economic growth in many markets remains below longer-term potential, in particular in our South African and Namibian markets. As
anticipated, it will take some time for improved business and consumer sentiment in South Africa to translate into accelerated economic
growth. Some remaining uncertainty around government policy is having a prolonged effect. Following growth of more than 2% in the last
three quarters of 2017, the South African economy shrank by 2,2% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2018. Mining, manufacturing and
agricultural production recorded the largest declines. Full year growth prospects remain pedestrian at just above 1%. A lack of growth
in formal employment, higher tax rates and inflationary pressure dampened disposable income and demand in our core middle-income market
in South Africa. Although we have experienced some recovery in Glacier's new business performance in the first quarter of 2018, affluent
investors remain cautious. The Namibian economy is still struggling from weak public sector investment, coupled with stagnant private sector
credit extension. The economies and currencies of Nigeria and Angola also remained under pressure, but the increase in oil prices over the
last few months should provide improved prospects for these economies going forward. The economic outlook in the other Africa regions where
we operate is improving, with favourable conditions and a positive outlook in India and Malaysia.
The South African and international investment markets experienced significant volatility during the first six months of 2018. The
South African equity market rallied into December 2017, finding support from record-level global stock markets as well as the favourable
outcome of the ruling party's elective conference. Optimism improved further at the beginning of 2018 with the appointment of
Cyril Ramaphosa as South African president and the subsequent cabinet changes. These favourable conditions were, however, short lived as
global markets were gripped by fears of an accelerated interest rate hiking cycle by the US Federal Reserve and the risk of a trade war
between the US, Europe and China that could have severe consequences for global economic growth. This spurred a global stock market
sell-off and resulted in a decline across most major investment markets towards the end of June 2018, aggravated in South Africa by
government policy uncertainty that fuelled anxiety with local and foreign investors in the second quarter. The Mining Charter, Eskom,
State-Owned Enterprises' finances and the National Health Insurance proposals are the main factors. South African long-term interest rates
also reacted positively to the political developments in the first quarter. This trend reversed as global geopolitical risk heightened,
with both the five-year and nine-year benchmark rates closing higher at the end of June 2018 than 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2017.
The sharp strengthening of the Rand exchange rate in 2017 and the first part of 2018 is reflecting in a stronger average exchange rate
in the first half of 2018 relative to the same period in 2017, suppressing the overall translated results of Sanlam Emerging Markets as
well as Sanlam Investment Group's international operations.
The Group's primary indicator of shareholder value creation remains Return on Group Equity Value (RoGEV). Given the nature of the Group's
diversified business, we consider this measure of performance the most appropriate since it incorporates the result of all the major
value drivers in the business. The annualised RoGEV per share for the six months to 30 June 2018 of 13,7% exceeded the target of 13%,
despite weaker investment markets and the rise in long-term interest rates, finding support from a relatively weaker Rand at 30 June 2018
compared to the end of December 2017 as well as a strong performance of the Santam share price. Annualised adjusted RoGEV per share,
which excludes investment market and currency volatility as well as changes in interest rates and other factors outside of management's
control, also exceeding the 13% target at 18,2%. Annualised actual and adjusted RoGEV per share excludes annualisation of the positive
impact that the new share issuance in April 2018 had on GEV per share (refer Group Equity Value section below).
Net result from financial services increased by 8% (10% in constant currency). Sanlam Emerging Markets (SEM), Santam and Sanlam Corporate
achieved strong growth, which offset softer contributions by Sanlam Personal Finance (SPF) Sanlam Investment Group (SI). Investments in
new growth initiatives (predominantly BrightRock) and lower market-related and annuity profits at Glacier were the main contributors to a
2% decline in SPF's contribution.Excluding new growth initiatives, SPF achieved growth of 4%. Lower performance fees and a decline in
Sanlam Capital Markets' operating earnings from a high base in 2017 contributed to an overall 9% decline in SI's net result from
financial services.
The new ordinary shares issued in April 2018 in anticipation of the Saham Finances acquisition (refer Responsible capital allocation and
management section that follows) resulted in a 1,6% increase in the weighted average number of shares in issue, with a similar dilution
in earnings per share. The dilution will decrease once the increased participation in Saham Finances' earnings is consolidated from the
effective date of the transaction.
New business volumes declined by 1% (in line with 2017 in constant currency), an acceptable performance under difficult conditions. All
clusters achieved solid growth, apart from SI where the SA Investment Management and Wealth Management units experienced lower inflows.
Growth of 6% in the net value of new covered business (VNB) (on a consistent economic basis and excluding the impact of structural
activity) fell short of our expectations, reflecting weak growth in SPF middle-income market risk business, lower margin mix of business
at Glacier and declines at Sanlam Corporate and SEM's Rest of Africa region (excluding Saham Finances).
Good progress has been made in finalising the acquisition of the remaining stake in Saham Finances. A number of synergies have been
identified. We are also expanding disclosure in respect of Saham Finances' performance in this interim results announcement (refer below).
Finalising the terms of a broad-based black economic empowerment share issuance to provide funding for this transaction is at an advanced
stage (refer Responsible capital allocation and management section below).
Strategic initiatives
The Group's strategic intent of sustainable value creation for all key stakeholders remains firmly in place, underpinned by the Group's
vision to:
- Lead in client-centric wealth creation, management and protection in South Africa.
- Be a leading Pan-African financial services group with a meaningful presence in India and Malaysia.
- Play a niche role in wealth and investment management in specific developed markets.
The Group's vision and strategic intent is pursued through a strategy focussed on four pillars:
- Profitable top-line growth through a culture of client-centricity.
- Enhancing resilience and earnings growth through diversification.
- Extracting value through innovation and improved efficiencies.
- Responsible capital allocation and management.
Continuous transformation of the Group to remain relevant in a changing world is key. We define transformation broadly to include among
others economic transformation to reduce wealth inequality, transforming our staff to reflect the demographic profile of our client base
and societies where we operate, transforming our distribution channels and operations in line with technological and regulatory
developments and most importantly, transforming everything we do in line with the changing needs and preferences of our clients.
Transformation therefore underpins the Group's strategy in its entirety as a key focus area under each of the strategic pillars.
We continued to execute on all strategic pillars in the first half of 2018.
Profitable top-line growth through a culture of client-centricity
Solid overall new business growth was achieved by all clusters apart from SI, where improved investor confidence is not yet reflecting in
an increased allocation of institutional mandates. Below benchmark performance also contributed to the muted net inflows. Our portfolios
were not well positioned for the run in the South African market post the political changes at the end of 2017 and beginning of 2018, while
the larger than benchmark exposure to Steinhoff in 2017 also detracted from the performance levels. Wealth Management and Implemented
Consulting inflows in the retail segment were also under pressure in a competitive environment. Strong inflows were experienced in Satrix
index-tracking funds, with Satrix Managers consolidating its position as the leading business in the retail segment of this market. Santam
achieved commendable growth of 13% in gross written premiums (9% excluding structural growth) in a very competitive market. VNB was affected
by a slow start to the year at Sanlam Corporate and SPF's Safrican group schemes and Individual Life businesses (excluding BrightRock), a
change in mix of business at Glacier to less profitable linked products and an under performance in SEM's Rest of Africa region (excluding
Saham Finances).
Saham Finances delivered in line with its business plan, achieving 13% and 39% organic growth in overall new business volumes and VNB
respectively in constant currency, the latter being off a low base. SPF concluded new credit life underwriting and distribution agreements
with Capitec Bank in the first half of 2018. The annual credit life premiums received in the first half of 2018 contributed R566 million
to new business volumes. The roll-out of funeral products has also commenced, with solid initial demand. BrightRock performed well and
exceeded its new business and VNB targets.
Prospects on this key metric for the remainder of the year are more promising, as outlined in the Outlook section that follows.
Diligent focus on client centricity and the quality of new business written also enhances the resilience of the life insurance in-force
book, with satisfactory persistency being maintained despite the economic pressures in the core South African middle-income market.
In line with historic trends, positive experience variances persisted.
Enhancing resilience and earnings growth through diversification
The acquisition of the remaining stake in Saham Finances is progressing in line with expectations. A number of regulatory approvals have
been received. The main other condition precedent is the demerger of the non-financial services activities within the Saham Finances Group,
with good progress achieved to date. The conclusion of this acquisition will significantly enhance the Group's geographical (Francophone
West Africa and North Africa) and line of business (general insurance) profile. A number of synergies were identified during the
acquisition of the initial 47% stake. Our ability to extract these synergies will be strengthened through obtaining the controlling stake.
Saham Finances' management team is fully supportive of the acquisition and the future partnership with Sanlam. Their track record of
execution positions us well to realise the synergies, which include:
- Growing the Saham Finances life insurance operations. Life insurance currently contributes less than 20% of Saham Finances' operating
profit. Sanlam's life insurance expertise elsewhere in Africa positions us very well to grow this line of business across the Saham
Finances footprint, which spans across a number of markets with favourable demographic profiles, strong economic growth prospects and
low insurance penetration. Focus remains on further accelerating growth in this line of business.
- Utilising the Saham Finances general insurance expertise to grow the other SEM general insurance businesses in Africa. This will be
implemented over time in line with Saham Finances' operational capacity.
- Expanding the Saham Finances product offering in assistance and health insurance across other SEM markets. SEM's current health insurance
offering in Zambia and Uganda have already been transferred to Saham Finances, with feasibility studies in respect of the roll-out of
assistance business in Southern Africa progressing well.
- Optimising reinsurance across the SEM general insurance footprint while also expanding the general insurance specialist classes of
business offering in conjunction with Santam. The intention is to achieve this by amending Santam's participation in SEM's African
general insurance businesses to focus largely on reinsurance and specialist lines.
- Optimising capital management within the Saham Finances Group. Sanlam's extensive capital management expertise will be utilised to
identify and extract any excess capital in the Saham Finances operations.
- Utilising the combined SEM and Saham Finances footprint to provide a compelling one-stop service offering to multi-nationals operating
across the African continent. Initiatives in this area have already resulted in new mandates being concluded with annualised premiums in
excess of R50 million.
- The Santam Board approved increased participation by Santam in Saham Finances, in terms of which Santam's effective stake in Saham Finances
will increase from 7% to 10%.
Extracting value through innovation and improved efficiencies
Embedding new investments was a key focus area in the first half of 2018. In SPF the working relationship with BrightRock is largely
established, with the business exceeding its new business targets by a healthy margin. BrightRock products will be launched under the
Sanlam brand in 2019.
MiWay Life and Indie are tracking behind their business plans in the first half of 2018. We are monitoring progress and will adjust their
strategies as experience develops. However, the distribution and digital capabilities honed in these businesses make Sanlam well-placed to
secure and establish affinity distribution partnerships with strong external brands. The first such partnership to market is Capitec Bank,
but others are being actively explored.
The business intelligence (BI) project, aimed at extracting value through big data and data analytics, is making good progress, with
business demand for test cases exceeding our initial forecasts. The current focus is on using BI to improve underwriting accuracy, to have
better and more targeted engagements with clients and to consolidate our data management. The latter is an important component in preparing
for the extensive data requirements emanating from the new International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) for insurance accounting
(IFRS 17) that will apply from the 2021 financial year. Of fundamental importance is that our BI initiative is not about the technology, but
about changing the way we work with data to ensure a much more explorative and interactive relationship with data, which will drive improved
business performance in the longer term.
Responsible capital allocation and management
Discretionary capital of R2,4 billion was released during the first half of 2018 through the excess cash dividend cover in respect of the
2017 financial year as well as a reduction in the capital allocation to Sanlam Personal Finance and Sanlam Corporate. The latter is largely
attributable to more effective balance sheet management, as outlined in the 2017 Integrated Report. We also conducted an accelerated book
build process at the end of March 2018 (with the new shares issued and listed in April 2018) to raise R5,5 billion (net of dividends paid)
as partial funding for the Saham Finances acquisition. Deployment of discretionary capital during the first half of 2018 was limited to a
few small transactions, resulting in a discretionary capital balance of R9,9 billion at the end of June 2018. This is earmarked for the
Saham Finances acquisition.
Our intention at concluding the third phase of the Saham Finances acquisition was to fully finance the transaction through shareholders'
equity, in line with the Group's capital management philosophy. Given the level of discretionary capital available, this necessitated a
new share issuance. This would have been the first equity raising since demutualisation in 1998 and it is unlikely that we would do a
further issuance in the foreseeable future. It therefore provided us with a unique opportunity to concomitantly enhance the Group's
empowerment credentials by increasing our direct black shareholding to a leading position in South Africa, which has become an important
consideration for institutional clients in addition to the overall direct and indirect shareholding as reflected in the Financial Sector
Scorecard. As it takes some time to structure an empowerment issuance, the equity raising was split into two phases - an initial issuance
to de-risk the transaction, and a second phase to introduce a broad-based empowerment component.
To de-risk the acquisition, we issued 3% new shares in April through the accelerated book build process. This placed us in a position that
we could, if required, temporarily finance the remainder of the transaction through debt while we finalise an empowerment issuance, without
putting the Group's credit rating at risk. Our intent is that this will now be followed by the second phase, being a further 5% issuance to
a broad-based black empowerment vehicle. This equity raising will provide the remaining funding for the acquisition and will restore the
discretionary capital portfolio to an appropriate level for future bolt-on acquisitions. It will also increase Sanlam's direct black
shareholding to an industry-leading 19%, which will position us well to gain institutional business in employee benefits, third party asset
management, health and distribution. We recognise that this is a follow-on empowerment transaction and the intent is therefore to limit any
dilution to shareholders to an acceptable level, well below that of primary transactions. This issuance will also be subject to shareholder
approval together with the Group's BBBEE strategy.
Outlook
Economic growth prospects in our key markets are not expected to improve for the remainder of the year and will continue to impact on our
ability to accelerate organic growth. Structural growth and new initiatives such as the Capitec Bank agreements should, however, support
operational performance in the second half of the year. Particularly pleasing is the conclusion of investment-related mandates of
R5 billion by Sanlam Corporate in July 2018, which will make a marked contribution to VNB and new business volumes. On the negative
side, SI received notice of an R8 billion outflow of low margin index-tracking funds managed on an outsourced basis. We continue to
attract flows into the Satrix index-tracking funds and the impact of the withdrawal on profitability should therefore be minimal.Focus
also remains on addressing the few areas within the wider Group that failed to deliver to target in the first six months, so as to get
them back on track for the financial year.
Shareholders need to be aware of the impact that the level of interest rates and financial market returns and volatility have on earnings
and GEV. Relative movements in these elements may have a major impact on the growth in normalised headline earnings, VNB and GEV to be
reported for the 2018 financial year.
We will continue to diligently execute on the strategic priorities identified in the Group's 2017 Integrated Report.

Comments on the results
Introduction
The Sanlam Group's International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018 are
presented based on and in compliance with IFRS, specifically IAS34 on Interim Financial Reporting. The basis of presentation and
accounting policies for the IFRS financial statements and Shareholders' information are in all material respects consistent with those
applied in the 2017 Integrated Report and Annual Financial Statements, apart from the application on IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 as described
below and a restructuring at Sanlam Investment Group (SIG) as outlined below.
Following the creation of the Central Credit Manager (CCM) within Sanlam Capital Markets (SCM), it was decided to further enhance focus
on the management of Sanlam assets within the SIG cluster, while at the same time creating a third party asset manager that can more
effectively compete with independent asset managers. The Sanlam Asset Management division and Sanlam Structured Solutions were
accordingly combined with SCM to form the new Sanlam Specialised Finance sub cluster. Comparative Shareholders' fund information has
been restated accordingly, apart from GEV and RoGEV where the transfer of businesses were done on 1 January 2018.
Most of the Group's businesses achieved a solid underlying performance in the first half of 2018 despite challenging economic and
investment market conditions. Highlights and lowlights for the six months include the following:
HIGHLIGHTS LOWLIGHTS
Adjusted annualised RoGEV per share of 18,2% exceeded Underperformance in SEM East Africa
the target of 13%
Exceptional underwriting performance by Santam Low growth in SPF Individual Life risk new business
and lower margin mix at Glacier
Strong operating profit growth at SEM and Sanlam Corporate Lower new business volumes and net inflows at SI
Positive experience variances persisting Decline in SI profitability
Improved single premium inflows at Glacier and strong individual life
risk business sales at Sanlam Sky
Strong new business volumes in most of the SEM operations
Conclusion of Capitec Bank agreements: credit life underwriting and
distribution of other products
Large new business mandates at Sanlam Corporate and Safrican post
interim reporting period
Operating environment
Economic conditions
Economic conditions in South Africa and Namibia during the first six months of the 2018 financial year were not conducive to growth, as
elaborated on in the Executive review.
Equity markets
The South African equity market delivered a relatively weaker performance with the FTSE/JSE Swix Index (inclusive of dividends) recording
negative returns of 4,8% for the six months to 30 June 2018, compared to a positive return of 3,3% in the comparable six-month period in
2017. On average, the Swix was 8,5% higher in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The MSCI World Index total return
in Rand of 11,2% was well in excess of the 6% return for the first half of 2017.
Interest rates
The South African nine- and five-year interest rates increased by 30 and 50 basis points respectively since the end of 2017, and by 20 and
30 basis points respectively compared to the 30 June 2017 levels. Movements in interest rates commensurately had a negative impact on VNB
growth and RoGEV for the first six months of 2018. The South African All Bond Index return of 4% in the first half of 2018 was in line with
the 2017 comparable performance.
Foreign currency exchange rates
The South African Rand strengthened sharply against most currencies during 2017 and the first part of 2018, weakening into the latter part
of the six months to 30 June 2018. Average exchange rates during the first half of 2018 were commensurately stronger relative to the first
six months of 2017. This had a negative impact on the Rand-based earnings, new business volumes, net fund flows and VNB performance of the
Group's non-South African operations that are translated at average exchange rates. The weakening of the Rand since December 2017, however,
had a positive impact on the valuation of non-South African operations for GEV purposes. The exchange rate of the Rand against the
currencies to which the Group has major exposure is summarised in the table below.

Group Equity Value
GEV amounted to R128,7 billion or 6 090 cents per share at 30 June 2018. Including the dividend of 290 cents per share paid during the six
months, an annualised RoGEV per share of 13,7% was achieved for the first half of 2018. This exceeded the 13% target for 2018, due to
strong returns from SEM, Sanlam Corporate and the listed Santam shareholding. Positive experience variances persisted, exceeding R1 billion
for the six months, while the depreciation in the Rand exchange rate during the six months to June 2018 benefited the returns of the
non-South African operations. Higher long term interest rates, however, diluted RoGEV for the period. The capital raising at the end of
March 2018 was done at a share price above GEV per share, contributing 1,2% to RoGEV. Adjusted RoGEV per share, which excludes the impact
of lower investment return than the long-term assumptions, interest rate changes and other one-off effects not under management control,
and assuming normalised exchange rate movements, amounted to 18,2% - also in excess of the target.

Group operations yielded an overall return of 7,0% for the six months to June 2018 (not annualised), the combination of 7,3% return on
covered business and 6,7% on other Group operations.
The main components contributing to the return on covered business are included in the table below:

* Annualised return excludes annualisation of the cost of capital impact relating to the release of capital from covered business in
2018, and in 2017 annualisation of the revaluation of the Ghana operations to disposal value.
The covered business operations achieved a good overall performance despite lower than expected investment returns and the negative
impact of higher long term interest rates on the valuation of the in-force book of business. The main items contributing to the return
from covered business included the following:
- Expected return on covered business was broadly in line with the comparable period in 2017.
- Value of new covered business contributed to similar returns in 2018 than in the first half of 2017 despite the pressure on growth
(refer business volumes section below).
- Operating experience variances increased markedly in the first half of 2018, attributable to a good mix of positive risk experience,
credit spreads and working capital management profits. The release of R1,5 billion of capital from the South African operations had a
one-off positive impact of some R290 million on cost of capital.
- The increase in the risk discount rate in 2018 due to higher long term interest rates had a negative impact on returns of some 1%.
- Equity and interest rate markets underperformed in the first half of 2018 compared to actuarial assumptions, contributing to an overall
negative variance of some 1%, more than double the negative variance experienced in the comparable six months in 2017.
Other Group operations achieved a return of 6,7% for the six months. The returns from non-South African operations benefited from the
weakening in the Rand exchange rate against most currencies during the six-month period. This was, however, largely offset by higher risk
discount rates following the increase in long term interest rates in India, Namibia, Malaysia and the CIMA region, as well as lower long
term economic growth forecasts used in the valuation models. Low growth in assets under management at the South African investment
management businesses also had a negative impact on valuations. Apart from these businesses, underlying operational performance in general
supported valuations and returns during the first half of 2018. The Group's investment in Santam is valued at its listed share price, which
achieved a strong return of 9,2% in the first half of 2018.
The negative return on discretionary and other capital is largely due to low investment return earned on foreign currency held as hedge for
the Saham Finances acquisition and an increase in Group-level support costs in response to a more complex regulatory environment.

Net result from financial services (net operating profit) of R4,4 billion increased by 8% on the first six months of 2017 (10% in constant
currency), with strong growth in Santam, SEM and Sanlam Corporate.
The following structural activities impacted on growth in net result from financial services at a cluster level, but with a net immaterial
overall impact on the Group results:
- SEM:
- The acquisition of a 16,6% additional stake in Saham Finances in May 2017;
- The acquisition of a 75% interest in PineBridge's East African investment management business, effective July 2017; and
- The disposal of SEM's interests in the Enterprise Group in Ghana with effect from 1 July 2017.
- SPF:
- The acquisition of a 53% interest in BrightRock with effect from October 2017; and
- Initial losses from new initiatives - MiWay Life and Indie.
- SI:
- The disposal of Summit Trust in 2017.
- Sanlam Corporate:
- The acquisition of ABSA Consultants and Actuaries with effect from 1 April 2018.
- Santam:
- The acquisition of RMB-SI in 2017.
SPF delivered a resilient performance for a mature business in an environment of low economic growth and a weak equity market performance.
The 2% decline in net result from financial services is largely attributable to the initial losses from new growth initiatives, including
BrightRock. Excluding these losses, net result from financial services increased by 2%.
- The Recurring premium sub cluster achieved 10% growth in net result from financial services (20% excluding new initiatives). Profit from
risk business benefited from favourable claims experience and lower new business strain, the latter due to the low growth in new risk
business volumes (excluding BrightRock). Earnings from the savings business were supported by higher average assets under management.
Despite the negative investment market performance in the first half of 2018, average market levels in 2018 were still higher than the
comparable six months to June 2017. The sub cluster also benefitted from a reallocation of expenses to Glacier.
- Sanlam Sky grew its net result from financial services by 8% despite a major increase in new business strain following the strong growth
in individual life recurring premium risk business, which generates relatively more new business strain than group life. Excluding the
increase in new business strain, net result from financial services increased by 23%.
- Glacier, which incorporates single premium life investments and the Linked Investment Service Providers (LISP) platform recorded a 26%
decline in net result from financial services, the combined effect of a 33% decline in profit from life investments and 9% from the LISP
platform. The decline from life investments can be ascribed to lower market-related fee income from products where Glacier participates
in actual investment return, negative annuity modelling changes, lower annuity mortality experience variances and a reallocation of
expenses from the recurring premium sub cluster. Expense reallocation from the recurring premium sub cluster is also the driver behind
the decline in profitability of the LISP platform.
- Strategic business development includes Sanlam Personal Loans, Sanlam Trust, Multi-Data and Sanlam Reality. Continued investment to
improve the attractiveness of the Reality platform is the main driver behind the decline in net result from financial services from this
sub cluster. Sanlam Personal Loans' contribution increased by 5%, broadly in line with growth in the lending book.
SEM grew its net result from financial services by 18% including structural activity and exchange rate differences. Organic growth in
constant currency amounted to 17%.
- Namibia's net result from financial services declined by 3% (down 23% on a gross basis). Capricorn Investment Holdings (CIH) sold 14,5%
of its stake in Bank Windhoek during 2017, resulting in Bank Windhoek becoming an associate of CIH. CIH's participation in Bank Windhoek's
earnings is commensurately equity accounted on a net basis from the transaction date and not consolidated on a gross basis as in the past.
This is the main contributor to the variance in the level of growth in Namibia's gross and net result from financial services. The
decrease in net result from financial services is largely due to higher new business strain following strong growth in entry-level market
risk business, negative group life claims experience and lower participation in Bank Windhoek's earnings following the disposal in 2017.
Excluding the higher new business strain, net result from financial services increased by 12%.
- The Botswana operations' contribution to net result from financial services declined by 4% after a one-off allowance for prior year tax
under provisions at Letshego of R36 million after non-controlling interest. In constant currency and excluding the tax adjustment, net
result from financial services increased by 20%. All operations achieved double-digit growth, apart from investment management and general
insurance. The life insurance business in particular recovered from a weak first half performance in 2017 when annuity new business volumes
were under severe pressure. Investment management earnings declined by 5% due to low growth in average assets under management and foreign
currency translation differences. Restructuring costs in the general insurance business suppressed profit growth.
- Saham Finances' net result from financial services increased by 102% (103% in constant currency), with organic growth of 41% supported by
the impact of the additional 17% stake acquired in May 2017. Organic growth in gross written premium amounted to 10% in constant currency,
with net earned premiums increasing by 13%. All regions contributed satisfactory growth in written premiums apart from Lebanon, which
reflects the impact of a challenging operating environment. Profitability in Lebanon is commensurately under pressure. Currency weakness
in Angola is similarly placing pressure on this region's cost base and underwriting performance. This was, however, more than offset by
overall good performances from the other regions and particularly strong growth in reinsurance profits. The efforts to optimise reinsurance
within the Saham Finances Group is bearing positive results. The general insurance operations achieved an overall net underwriting margin in
excess of 10%, exceeding both the prior year and current year targets. Life insurance profits also experienced strong growth, albeit from
a small base.
- Net result from financial services in India rose 30% (41% in constant currency). Growth in earnings was supported by the one-off
de-monetisation related provision recognised in 2017. Excluding this, net result from financial services increased by 19% on a comparable
basis, with all operations contributing to the strong growth.
- The Rest of Africa operations had a disappointing six months, with net result from financial services declining by 47% excluding
structural activity (31% in constant currency). Including structural activity (disposal of the Ghana operations and acquisition of
PineBridge East Africa), net result from financial services declined by 56% (47% in constant currency). Weak performance in Malawi,
Tanzania, Kenya and Zambia more than offset strong growth from the other regions. Nigeria and Zimbabwe performed particularly well,
increasing their contribution to net result from financial services by 106% and 25% respectively. Life insurance profit in Malawi
declined from a high base in 2017, which was supported by favourable claims experience. New regulations in Tanzania require that no
general insurance cover can be provided from 2018 if premiums have not been received in cash. Sanlam General Insurance Tanzania is
still adapting to the new environment, experiencing a significant decline in written premiums and commensurately underwriting profit.
A recovery is only expected from 2019. Lower new business volumes in Zambia is placing pressure on the file size and profitability.
- High group life claims experience suppressed the profit contribution of the Malaysian businesses, hiding a satisfactory recovery in the
operational performance of both the life and general insurance business. The life insurance business reported a marginal loss as a result
of the high claims experience. The general insurance business stemmed its declining profit trajectory of the last few years, with only a
marginal decrease in result from financial services. Both businesses are experiencing improved new business traction, which bodes well
for future earnings growth.
SI's net result from financial services declined by 9% (7% in constant currency), with declines at the Investment Management SA and
International businesses more than offsetting satisfactory growth from the Wealth Management sub cluster.
- The Investment Management SA net result from financial services declined by 8% on 2017 due to low growth in assets under management, a
decline in performance fees and losses from new initiatives.
- Wealth Management net result from financial services increased by 7%, but declined by 2% on a gross basis. Brokerage income benefited
from higher trading volumes, achieving double-digit growth. This was, however, offset by a reallocation of funds by clients to
international products on which the business earns lower fees, and an increase in administration expenses relating to system upgrades.
The effective tax rate declined in 2018 due to prior year under provisions recognised in the comparable period, resulting in the
disparate growth on a net and gross basis.
- The International business experienced a 19% decline in net result from financial services (2% down on a gross basis). The decline on a
gross basis is largely attributable to a stronger average Rand exchange rate and lower fee income earned from the Sanlam capital
portfolio. The portfolio included significant foreign cash balances in 2017 held as hedging for offshore acquisitions, which were
subsequently used to settle the related transactions. Prior year tax under provisions increased the effective tax rate in 2018, resulting
in the disparate growth on a net and gross basis.
- Sanlam Specialised Finance consists of Sanlam Capital Markets (SCM), including the Central Credit Manager (CCM), Sanlam Portfolio
Management (SPM) and Sanlam Structured Solutions (SSS). SPM and SSS achieved strong growth in net result from financial services (10% and
42% respectively). Good deal flow in SSS and diligent expense management supported the results. SCM experienced a 17% decline in net
result from financial services mainly due to the impact of widening credit spreads on debt exposure and after-tax losses of R22 million
recognised in respect its Steinhoff exposures. Substantially all Steinhoff listed debt positions have been closed at a realised loss of
R10 million after tax and a net loss of R12 million after tax was recognised on a residual Steinhoff equity position, the value of which
is now immaterial.
Santam increased its net result from financial services by an exceptional 70%.
- A benign claims environment in the first half of 2018 contributed to an overall 8,4% underwriting margin for conventional business, which
exceeded the upper end of its 4% - 8% target range. This is in sharp contrast to the 4,2% underwriting margin of the comparable 2017
period, which included abnormal weather-related catastrophe claims of some R100 million after tax and non-controlling interests. The
2018 results include claims relating to the listeriosis outbreak early in 2018 of some R40 million after tax and non-controlling interests.
- Investment return on insurance funds (float income) decreased by 11% due to lower investment market returns.
- Santam's share of earnings from the SEM general insurance businesses increased by 42% after tax.
The 26% increase in Sanlam Corporate's net result from financial services is the aggregate of 22% organic growth and a 4% contribution from
the first-time inclusion of ABSA Consultants and Actuaries (ACA), which was acquired effective 1 April 2018.
- Sanlam Employee Benefits' (SEB) contribution increased by 33% (28% excluding ACA). SEB Investments grew earnings by 43% due to lower new
business strain (ascribed to lower annuity new business volumes) and favourable annuity mortality experience. Also supporting the results
were an increase in working capital profit and a decline in administration-related losses.
- The Healthcare business increased its profit contribution by a satisfactory 16%.
Normalised headline earnings of R4,9 billion are 10% up on 2017. This is the combined effect of the 8% increase in net result from
financial services, an 18% increase in net investment return earned on the capital portfolio, a 4% decline in amortisation of intangible
assets and equity participation costs and a 31% increase in net project expenses.
Net investment return benefited from structural activity as well as interest earned on the capital raised through the accelerated book build.
Net project expenses include Shriram Life Insurance expansion cost of R22 million, due diligence and related costs incurred on investigating
and concluding transactions of R19 million and one-off restructuring and small project costs of R6 million. Shriram Life Insurance is
incurring an abnormal level of branch establishment costs as it aggressively expands its own distribution footprint. These costs are
recognised as project expenses while expansion activities are significant relative to the size of the in-force book, to avoid distorting
the underlying operational performance of the business. Once profit releases from the in-force book reach an appropriate size, the costs
will be reallocated to net result from financial services on a prospective basis. The remainder of project expenses are one-off in nature
and related to specific corporate actions.
Normalised attributable earnings increased by 1%. The relatively lower growth in normalised attributable earnings compared to normalised
headline earnings relates to the following:
- A decline in profit recognised on the disposal of subsidiaries and associates from R150 million in 2017 to R3 million in 2018. Disposals
in the comparable period related mostly to the final liquidation of Santam's former international operations.
- Net equity-accounted non-headline earnings decreased from R173 million in 2017 to a loss of R5 million in 2018. The profit recognised in
2017 related primarily to the disposal by CIH of a partial stake in Bank Windhoek (refer above).
- Impairments of R74 million were recognised in the first half of 2018 compared to R21 million in the comparable 2017 period. Current year
impairments relate primarily to the investments in Letshego and Blue Ink.
Business volumes
New business volumes declined by 1% amidst pressure on new inflows at SI in South Africa. Life insurance new business volumes increased by
9%, investment business inflows declined by 6% and general insurance earned premiums increased by 12%.
SPF's new business sales increased by 8%, with improved investor confidence reflecting in a recovery in Glacier's single premium performance.
- The Recurring premium sub cluster and Strategic business development grew new business volumes by 29%, the combined effect of 34% growth
in recurring premium business (68% of total new business sales) and 20% growth in single premiums (32% of total new business sales).
Excluding the first-time contribution of BrightRock, new business volumes increased by a pleasing 15% (recurring premiums by 12%).
Individual Life risk business sales (excluding BrightRock) increased by 1%. Dedicated focus on this line of business over the last few
years enabled SPF to regain leading market share, contributing to a moderation in growth opportunities as market forces become more
competitive. Growth was furthermore impacted by pressure on disposable income in the middle-income market. The other lines of business
achieved overall good growth, with particularly strong sales of recurring premium retirement annuities, single premium endowments and
credit life business.
- Sanlam Sky's new business increased by an exceptional 77%. This includes the 2018 annual premium in respect of the recently concluded
credit life agreement with Capitec Bank of R566 million. Individual life recurring premium new business increased by 12% to R526 million,
with strong growth of 23% in risk business. Group recurring premium sales (excluding Capitec Bank credit life) declined by 50% from a
high base in 2017 to R102 million. The comparable 2017 period included the biennial renewal of the Zionist Christian Church scheme and
two large schemes written by Safrican. The pipeline of new business at Safrican is promising, with new schemes in excess of R150 million
already concluded subsequent to 30 June 2018.
- Glacier new business increased by 6%, a welcome turnaround from the declining new business trends in the prior year. As anticipated, the
mix of business changed to lower margin linked products as investor confidence improved. The LISP business achieved growth of 7%, while
demand for traditional life investments were in line with the first half of 2017.
The increase in single premium business had a major positive impact on SPF's net fund inflows, which increased by 71% from R4 billion in
2017 to R6,8 billion in 2018.
SEM new business volumes increased by 13% (up 7% in constant currency and excluding structural activity).
- New business volumes in Namibia increased by 25%. New life business declined by 14%, with lower affluent market sales more than offsetting
sterling growth in the more profitable entry-level market. New investment business, which is volatile in nature, increased by 39%.
- In Botswana, new investment business declined by 24% from a high base in 2017 (which reflected a more than 60% increase compared to the
first half of 2016). New life business declined marginally, but with a change in mix to the more profitable group life and annuity lines
of business. Overall new business sales were down 18%.
- Rest of Africa new business volumes grew by 12% (23% in constant currency). Excluding structural activity, new business volumes increased
by 17% (up 30% in constant currency). Investment business flows were the main driver of the overall growth, with life insurance business
under pressure in Kenya, Uganda and Zambia. This contributed to a weak VNB performance in the Rest of Africa region (excluding Saham
Finances). Tanzanian general insurance earned premiums also disappointed, as highlighted before.
- Saham Finances new business increased by 75%. Structural activity augmented organic growth of 13% in net earned premiums. As indicated
before, all regions contributed satisfactory growth, apart from Lebanon.
- The Indian life insurance business continued to perform well, growing its new business contribution by 18% in constant currency. The
general insurance business experienced more muted growth of 10% in constant currency following a decision to reduce exposure to crop
business, contributing to overall constant currency growth of 12% on the first half of 2017 (4% at actual exchange rates).
- The Malaysian businesses are showing early signs of a turnaround in performance with overall growth of 5% in new business volumes (2%
in constant currency). The life business grew new business volumes by 16% (12% in constant currency), a satisfactory performance compared
to prior year new business trends. The general insurance business still struggled with a decrease of 6% in net earned premiums (9% in
constant currency). The mix of business, however, improved with less reliance on motor cycle business.
Net fund flows increased by 72% from R1,9 billion in 2017 to R3,2 billion in 2018. Most regions contributed to the growth.
After strong new business flows in 2017, SI experienced lower new business volumes in the first half of 2018 with an overall decline of 9%.
As highlighted before, renewed investor confidence has not yet had any positive impact on institutional inflows, while relative under
performance also had a negative impact. The Wealth Management cluster could not match their new business flows of 2017, while the
International businesses experienced strong growth in their new business flows from our predominantly South African client base. The
decline in new business also reflects in net fund inflows, which decreased from R9,2 billion in 2017 to R3,4 billion in 2018. The SA
Investment Management businesses experienced the largest decline from a high base in 2017.
Gross written premiums at Santam increased by 13%. Organic growth was augmented by structural growth from the acquisition of RMB-SI during
2017. Motor and property, which contributes 71% of total gross written premium, increased by a solid 10% in a very competitive market.
Alternative risk, which includes the RMB-SI business, increased by 44%. Accident and health and guarantee business also grew strongly.
Engineering, liability and transportation are the only lines of business that recorded declines in gross written premiums. Net earned
premiums increased by 5%, with high levels of reinsurance in the alternative risk and specialised lines.
Sanlam Corporate new business volumes include life licence investment business with effect from 2018. This business, which was previously
recognised in the SI cluster, is the main driver behind the 25% growth in new business. Life business declined by 9%, the combined effect
of 13% growth in recurring premiums and a 13% decline in single premiums. Annuity business in particular had a slow start to the year.
The pipeline of new business for the remainder of the year is promising, with R5 billion of single premium business already concluded
subsequent to the end of June 2018.

Overall net fund inflows of R17,2 billion in 2018 is a satisfactory performance given the challenging market conditions and a high base
in 2017.
The discount rate used to determine VNB is directly linked to long-term interest rates. The 20bps and 30bps increase in the South African
nine- and five-year benchmark rates respectively in 2018 compared to 30 June 2017 resulted in a commensurate increase in the risk discount
rate, with a 2% negative impact on VNB growth. VNB margins were in general maintained on a per product basis, with the decline in average
margins attributable to a change in mix to less profitable product lines, in particular at Glacier and Sanlam Corporate. The
underperformance in life new business in SEM's East Africa region also suppressed overall VNB margins.
SPF achieved overall growth of 6% (10% on a comparable economic basis). This includes a first-time contribution by BrightRock of R21 million.
Sanlam Sky VNB grew by 20%, largely reflective of the individual life new business performance. The VNB contribution from Capitec Bank
credit life agreement offset the effect of lower new business at Safrican as well as the biennial renewal of the ZCC scheme that was
included in the 2017 comparable period. Funeral product sales were also recently activated through the Capitec Bank channel, with pleasing
initial sales volumes. The strong growth in new business at the Recurring premium sub cluster and Strategic Business Development supported
their VNB, which increased by 28% excluding BrightRock (47% including BrightRock). Glacier's VNB declined by 20% due to the change in
business mix to the less profitable linked products.
Net VNB at SEM declined by 12% (down 9% in constant currency). Excluding structural activity, VNB increased by 10% in constant currency.
All regions contributed strong organic growth, apart from East Africa, where the underperformance in life business had a significant
negative impact on VNB.
Lower Sanlam Corporate annuity single premium business contributed to a decline in the cluster's VNB. The performance is expected to
improve in the remainder of the year in line with the large new mandates concluded subsequent to 30 June 2018 and a further good pipeline
of new business.

Capital management
The Group started the year with discretionary capital of R2 billion, after allowing for the ABSA Consultants and Actuaries acquisition. A

Movements in discretionary capital during the first half of 2018 included the following:
- The excess cash operating earnings cover in respect of the dividend paid in 2018.
- Capital of R1,7 billion released from the covered business operations in Sanlam Life. As communicated in the Group's 2017 annual results
announcement, capital allocated to the covered business operations on the Sanlam Life balance sheet was reduced by R1,5 billion in the
first half of 2018. Investment return earned on the Sanlam Life capital base in the first half of 2018 (R248 million) is also available
for release.
- Capital of R5,5 billion was raised through an accelerated book build at the end of March 2018 as partial funding for the acquisition of
the remaining stake in Saham Finances.
- Corporate activity was limited in the first half of 2018, consuming only R128 million of discretionary capital. The largest transaction
concluded was the acquisition of a stake in Phoenix Infraworks, an infrastructure specialist investment manager, for R92 million. This
acquisition augments the alternative investment classes offering to the SI client base.
- Investment return and other small movements added R82 million.
The acquisition of the remaining stake in Saham Finances will require total funding of R13 billion after allowing for an R864 million
contribution from Santam to increase its effective interest in Saham Finances from 7% to 10%, which exceeds the current balance of
available discretionary capital. A 5% share issuance is planned to provide the remaining funding and also to restore the discretionary
capital balance to an appropriate level for funding of bolt-on acquisitions, as outlined in the Executive review.
The Saham Finances acquisition was hedged at an average rate of R13,24. The unrealised fair value gain on the hedging instruments amounted
to R403 million after tax at 30 June 2018. The profit was recognised directly in the Statement of Changes in Equity in terms of the hedge
accounting applied under IFRS. The eventual profit or loss realised at payment date will be recognised as an adjustment to the acquisition
price. The investment is expected to meet Sanlam's hurdle rate at the hedged exchange rate, taking cognisance of the expected depreciation
of the rand against the US$ over the long term.
Solvency
All of the life insurance businesses within the Group were sufficiently capitalised at the end of June 2018. The new solvency regime
(previously referred to as Solvency Assessment and Management) became effective on 1 July 2018 with the promulgation of the new Insurance
Act, 2017. A Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) target cover range under the new regime of between 1,7 times and 2,1 times has been set for
Sanlam Life Insurance Limited's (Sanlam Life) covered business. The R8 billion of IFRS-based required capital allocated to these operations
at the end of June 2018 translated into a SCR cover of 2,3 times. The SCR cover ratio for the Sanlam Life entity as a whole at 2,9 times
exceeded the covered business ratio at the end of June 2018 due to the inclusion of discretionary and other capital held on the Sanlam Life
balance sheet as well as investments in Santam and other Group operations that are not allocated to Sanlam Life's covered business operations
(i.e. not included in the R8 billion allocated capital referred to above). The Sanlam Group SCR cover ratio of 2,3 times remained broadly in
line with the 2,2 times cover at 31 December 2017. The Group will increasingly focus on the Group SCR cover as the main solvency measure.
Dividend
The Group only declares an annual dividend due to the costs involved in distributing an interim dividend to our large shareholder base.
Accounting policies and basis of preparation
The preparation of the Group's reviewed condensed consolidated interim financial statements was supervised by the financial director,
Heinie Werth CA (SA).
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS),
specifically IAS 34 - interim financial reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee,
Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
The policy liabilities and profit entitlement rules are determined in accordance with prevailing legislation, generally accepted actuarial
practice and the stipulations contained in the demutualisation proposal. There have been no material changes in the financial soundness
valuation basis since 31 December 2017, apart from changes in the economic assumptions.
The accounting policies and basis of preparation for the IFRS financial statements and shareholders' information are in all material respects
consistent with those applied in the 2017 annual report apart from the adoption of new IFRSs at the beginning of the 2018 financial year and
the changes in segmental reporting referred to below. The effect of the new IFRSs on the Sanlam Group is described below.
The following new or revised IFRSs and interpretations have been applied in the 2018 financial year:
- IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
The principles with regards to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, measuring impairment allowances for
financial assets, and hedge accounting have been amended due to the implementation of the new accounting standard, IFRS 9 - Financial
Instruments, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. Sanlam has implemented the standard, other than the
hedging provisions which have not yet been adopted, on a modified retrospective basis and therefore comparatives are not restated and the
impact of the adoption is recognised in equity on 1 January 2018. The effects of adoption on the Statement of Financial Position as at
1 January 2018 are shown in note 10.1 of the condensed interim financial statements.
The key changes introduced by IFRS 9 are as follows:
1. Classification and measurement - financial assets are required to be measured and classified based on the cash flow characteristics of
the instrument and the business model under which the asset is managed. The classification and measurement of financial liabilities is
largely unchanged, with the exception of the amendment requiring that the own credit risk component of fair value movements on liabilities
designated at fair value through profit or loss now be presented in other comprehensive income.
2. Impairment - IFRS 9 introduces an expected credit loss model. This entails the recognition of an allowance for expected credit loss
looking one year into the future or over the lifetime of the financial asset if the credit risk relating to the financial asset has
increased significantly. The impairment model is therefore 'forward looking', replacing the incurred loss model as previously required
by IAS 39.
- IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers
This standard relates to the measurement, classification and disclosure of revenue from contracts with customers of the Sanlam Group.
The key factors in the application of IFRS 15 are as follows:
- A five-step model is applied to determine when to recognise revenue from contracts with customers, and at what amount.
- Revenue is recognised when (or as) Sanlam satisfies a performance obligation and transfers control of goods or services to a customer
at the amount to which the company expects to be entitled and that is allocated to that specific performance obligation.
- Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue is recognised either over time or at a point in time, as or when control of the
goods or services is transferred to the customer.
- More extensive and detailed disclosure are required in terms of IFRS 15.
Sanlam has adopted the standard using the modified retrospective basis and therefore comparatives are not restated and the impact of the
adoption is recognised in equity on 1 January 2018.
Impact on the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15
The Group has assessed the impact that the initial application of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 had on its consolidated financial statements. The
impact of the adoption of these standards on the Group's equity as at 1 January 2018 is based on assessments undertaken across the Group to
date and is summarised below.
IFRS 9
The adoption of IFRS 9 has resulted in a reduction in total equity of R441 million on 1 January 2018. The impact is primarily a result of
the recognition of expected credit losses in associated entities as well as isolated incidents of changes in the classification and
measurement of certain financial instruments.
The majority of financial assets were measured at fair value through profit and loss under IAS39, and continue to be under IFRS 9, either
because they are mandatorily measured as such, or through designation.
The changes in classification and measurement are as follows:
- Certain financial assets, predominantly interest bearing investments, previously measured at amortised cost under IAS 39, have been
reclassified to fair value through profit or loss under IFRS 9 as the Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI) criterion are no
longer met. The remeasurement impact on opening retained earnings is an increase of R6 million.
- The change in fair value that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through
profit or loss is presented in other comprehensive income under IFRS 9. In the current period, this portion of the movement in such
instruments was immaterial.
Impairment of financial assets
Based on the impairment methodology described above, the Group has determined that the application of IFRS 9's impairment requirements
at 1 January 2018 results in additional impairment allowances in a number if equity-accounted associates.
The total impact on the balance of associates and opening retained earnings at 1 January 2018 is negative R428 million. The impact of
applying the expected credit losses model in subsidiary entities resulted in a decrease in net asset value of R19 million.
Disclosure
Additional disclosures in terms of IFRS 9 in respect of changes in classification and measurement will be presented in the annual
financial statements in accordance with the disclosure requirements in IFRS 7 on the initial application of IFRS 9.
IFRS 15
The Group has assessed the impact of the adoption of IFRS 15 on opening retained earnings and concluded that there is no quantitative
impact for Sanlam. Please refer to notes 2 and 3 of the condensed interim financial statements for additional disclosures provided.
The following new or revised IFRSs and interpretations, effective in future years and not early adopted, may have an impact on future results:
- IFRS 16 - Leases (effective 1 January 2019)
- IFRIC 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (effective 1 January 2019)
- IFRS 17 - Insurance contracts (effective 1 January 2021)
The impact of the application of these revised standards and interpretations in future financial reporting periods on the Group's
reported results, financial position and cash flows are still being assessed. The Group is currently engaged in projects to implement
the requirements of IFRS 17. The IFRS 17 project is currently focused on finalising gap analyses at this early stage and the Group will
provide an update on the expected financial effects in future reporting periods.
Changes to segmental reporting are described above.
EXTERNAL REVIEW
The appointed auditors, Ernst & Young Inc, reviewed the interim condensed financial statements and Shareholders' information of the Group
at 30 June 2018. These reviews were conducted in accordance with International Standards on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim
Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". Copies of the unqualified review reports of Ernst & Young Inc
are presented below.
Independent auditors' review report on Sanlam Limited interim Shareholders' information
To the directors of Sanlam Limited
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim Shareholders' Information of Sanlam Limited for the six months ended 30 June 2018, comprising
Group Equity Value; Change in Group Equity Value; Return on Group Equity Value; Shareholders' fund at net asset value; Shareholders' fund
income statement and Notes to the shareholders' fund information as set out below, and the basis of accounting set out above.
Directors' responsibility for interim financial information
The directors of Sanlam Limited are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance
with the basis of accounting set out above, for determining that the basis of preparation is acceptable in the circumstances, and for such
internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of interim financial information that is free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information. We conducted our review in accordance with
International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor
of the Entity". ISRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim
financial statements are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the basis of accounting set out above. This standard also
requires us to comply with relevant ethical requirements.
A review of interim financial information in accordance with ISRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily
consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluate
the evidence obtained.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than and differ in nature from those performed in an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim Shareholders' Information
for the six months ended 30 June 2018 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of accounting set out above.
Basis of accounting
Without modifying our conclusion, we draw attention to the Sanlam Limited Shareholders' Information above, which describes the basis of
accounting. The Sanlam Limited Interim Shareholders' Information is prepared to provide additional information in respect of the Group
shareholders' fund in a format that corresponds with that used by management in evaluating the performance of the Group. As a result the
Sanlam Limited Interim Shareholders' information may not be suitable for another purpose.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements
for the six months ended 30 June 2018
1. Earnings per share
For basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares is adjusted for the treasury shares held by subsidiaries,
consolidated investment funds and policyholders. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing earnings by the adjusted weighted
average number of shares in issue.
For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares is adjusted for the shares not yet issued under the Sanlam
Share Incentive Scheme and treasury shares held by subsidiaries, consolidated investment funds and policyholders. Diluted earnings per
share is calculated by dividing earnings by the adjusted diluted weighted average number of shares in issue.
Refer above for normalised earnings per share, which is based on the economic earnings attributable to the shareholders' fund, and in
management's view should also be used when evaluating the Group's economic performance.

9.Fair value disclosures
Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchy
Below follows required disclosure of fair value measurements, using a three-level fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of
the inputs used in determining the measurements. It should be noted that these disclosures only cover assets and liabilities measured at
fair value.
Included in level 1 category are assets and liabilities that are measured by reference to unadjusted, quoted prices in an active market for
identical assets and liabilities.
Included in level 2 category are assets and liabilities measured using inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). For example, instruments
measured using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are supported by prices from observable current market transactions are
categorised as level 2.
Assets and liabilities measured using inputs that are not based on observable market data are categorised as level 3.

10.2 Restatement of Group cash flow statement
Management reassessed the presentation of the Group's cash flow statement in respect of cash flows relating to the acquisition and disposal
of investments that back core operations. These were previously classified as investing cash flows which created a disconnect between
operating and investing cash flows, as the originating insurance and investment contracts cash flows are respectively treated as operating
cash flows. Presenting acquisitions and disposals of investments as part of operating cash flows more accurately reflects to the users of
the financial statements, the link between the ability to generate cash from investment and insurance contracts and the utilisation of these
cash flows on various investments.
