INITIAL TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2019


In terms of section 3.4(b) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, companies are required to
publish a trading statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the financial results
for the period to be reported on will be at least 20% different from that of the previous
corresponding period.

The Board wishes to refer shareholders to the unaudited condensed consolidated results for the
six months ended September 2018 released on 15 November 2018 in which shareholders were
advised of a decrease in profits, of R200 million attributable to an additional tax provision.
Shareholders are advised that this was a once-off event and has not re-occurred in the six month
period ended 30 September 2019 nor will it be applicable for the full year ending 31 March 2020.
Accordingly, without considering operational performance for the current period (6 months to 30
September 2019), the Company’s profit attributable to ordinary shareholders is expected to
increase by at least 2 299% (R200 million) for the six month period ended 30 September 2019,
compared to the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of R8.7 million for the six months
ended 30 September 2018.

Using the same basis, earnings per share (“EPS”) is expected to increase by at least 2 337%
(187 cents) and headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) is expected to increase by at least 9 350%
(187 cents) for the six months ended 30 September 2019, compared to the EPS of 8 cents and
HEPS of 2 cents respectively for the six month period ended 30 September 2018.

The Board wishes to emphasise that this trading statement only takes into account the impact of
the non-reoccurrence of the above-mentioned additional tax provision and does not take into
account the operational performance for the six months ended 30 September 2019.A further
trading statement based on performance will be issued if required.

The financial results on which this trading statement is based have not been reviewed or reported
on by the Company’s external auditors. It is anticipated that the financial results for the six
months ended 30 September 2019 will be published on or about 25 November 2019.
