1.   SALIENT FEATURES
     •   Revenue from continuing operations, comprising Pepkor Holdings only, increased by 5.3% to
         R81.4 billion for the year ending 30 September 2022 (“FY 2022”, “Reporting Period”) from

         recorded for FY 2021 to a profit of R20.0 billion in FY 2022. The increase is mainly driven by
         the non-cash items listed below:
         o The derecognition of the SIHPL CPU and the recognition and subsequent
             remeasurement of the S155 Settlement Note with limited recourse resulted in a net gain
             of R17.0 billion.
         o An impairment of R3.5 billion (2021: reversal of R11.3 billion) was recorded in respect of
             financial assets.
         o The total loss on recognition of financial assets and liabilities amounted to R3.3 billion
             (2021: R2.2 billion).
     •   The majority of the Group’s litigation settlement provision was settled during the year. The
         Steinhoff Investment’s share of the settlement consisted of R9.0 billion in cash, R6.9 billion
         in Pepkor Holdings shares and R0.3 billion in call options. The balance of the settlement was
         paid by the holding company, Steinhoff International Holdings N.V.
     •   Headline earnings per share improved from 11 843.6 cents in FY 2021 to 26 797.0 cents in FY
         2022.

     •   Two preference share dividends were declared, as set out in the terms of the preference
         shares:

                 preference share, which was paid on 25 April 2022; and
