14%) to that of the comparative period, with existing stores increasing by 7% (half year: 11%) and new stores

Trading statement
Shareholders are advised that Cashbuild is currently finalising its interim results for the six months ended 31
December 2020 (“Interim Period”) which are expected to be released on or about 2 March 2021. In accordance
with paragraph 3.4(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements, shareholders are therefore advised that:
1. headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) are expected to increase by a minimum of 100% to 1,524.8
cents for the Interim Period, compared to HEPS of 762.4 cents for the prior comparative period of 31
December 2019 (“Prior Period”); and
2. earnings per share (“EPS”) are expected to increase by a minimum of 100% to 1,496.0 cents for the
Interim Period, compared to EPS of 748.0 cents for the Prior Period.
The above is mainly attributable to the revenue growth amidst continued cost control.
A further trading statement will be released once Cashbuild has reasonable certainty on the range of the
increase in HEPS and EPS respectively.
The above information has not been reviewed or reported on by Cashbuild’s auditors.
