Audited results for the year ended 28 February 2022 and cash dividend declaration


Balwin is South Africa’s leading national residential property developer of large-scale,
sectional title estates for the low-to-middle income population, with a focus on high quality,
environmentally efficient, affordable apartments with an innovative lifestyle offering for
residents.

Balwin’s results for the financial year ended 28 February 2022 demonstrate a continued steady
recovery from the prior year. Sustained strong customer demand resulted in a 16% increase in
the number of apartments recognised in revenue in the year. The strong sales enabled Balwin
to hand over 2 962 apartments to clients which were recognised in revenue (2021: 2 546
apartments).

DIVIDEND

Notice is hereby given that the board has declared a final gross dividend of 13.5 cents per
ordinary share (2021: 16.2 cents). The total dividend per share for the year amounted to 20.9
cents (2021: 35.8 cents). The decrease in dividends per share is as a result of the prior year
dividend including a previously deferred dividend distribution that was withheld at the end of
the 2020 financial year due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic. The dividend is
payable out of income reserves for the year ended 28 February 2022 to ordinary shareholders
in accordance with the timetable below:
