TRADING STATEMENT


In line with the protracted listless economy, the first six months of the current financial year has proven to be extremely difficult

headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) and core headline and diluted core headline earnings per share (“Core HEPS”), for the six
month period ended 30 November 2019 (“current period”), within the ranges reflected in the table below:

Notes:
1. The group has adopted IFRS 16 effective from 1 June 2019 whereby right-of-use assets and associated liabilities for its
     operating leases of vehicles and properties have been recognised. The nature of expenses related to those leases has changed
     as the group now incurs depreciation charges for the right-of-use assets and interest expenses on the lease liabilities.
     Previously, the group recognised operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases.

     In order to enable more meaningful comparability of performance the group has applied the full retrospective approach
     whereby historic comparative information has been restated. IFRS 16 has no impact on the income statement over the full
     lease term but is earnings dilutive towards the beginning of the relevant lease term and earnings enhancing towards the end
     of the lease term. The group is on average at the beginning stages of most of its leases and hence the reduction in all earning
     metrics in the previous period. Cash outflows associated with the adoption of IFRS 16 regarding the payment of the lease
     obligations did not and will not change going forward.

2.   Consistent with prior reporting the company aims to present to shareholders the same information that management utilises
     to evaluate the performance of the group’s operations. Accordingly, we present Core HEPS, which is headline earnings (as
     calculated based on SAICA Circular 4/2018) adjusted for the amortisation charge of intangible assets recognised on business
     combinations and charges relating to share-based payments.

The estimated financial information contained in this announcement has not been audited, reviewed or reported upon by the group's
external auditors.

The group's interim results for the six-month period ended 30 November 2019 are scheduled to be released on or about
6 February 2020.
