Restatement of Previously Published Results
During the preparation of the 2023 annual financial statements, the following restatements relating to previously published results were noted for both SBG
and SBSA:

1.   During the finalisation of the group results, the group amended its calculation of interest income on stage 3 loans and advances for Personal & Private
     Banking (PPB) and Business & Commercial Banking (BCB) clients as follows:
     -    Previously, interest income on stage 3 loans and advances was calculated using a portfolio approach. The interest income on the stage 3 loan
          portfolio was calculated as the difference between the expected discounted and undiscounted recovery cash flows and was unwound on a straight-
          line basis over the expected period to resolution, being either recovery or write-off ("portfolio straight-line approach"). This modelling approach
          was utilised as a proxy for IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (IFRS 9) stage 3 interest income recognition requirement.
     -    Going forward, interest income on stage 3 loans and advances will be calculated on a loan-by-loan basis. This change in calculation methodology
          is not a change in accounting policy. Interest income on stage 3 loans and advances will be calculated by multiplying the net carrying amount of
          each customer balance (after deducting credit impairments) by the effective interest rate of the loan and advance ("loan-by-loan outstanding
          balance approach"), which is aligned to the requirements of IFRS 9 stage 3 interest income recognition requirement.
     -    During this change to the loan-by-loan outstanding balance approach, the group identified that by previously applying the portfolio straight-line
          approach to calculating stage 3 interest income, interest income and income statement credit impairments were erroneously understated by
          R1 279 million for the 31 December 2022 reporting period.
     -    The group has restated for this impact. The expected credit loss (ECL) provision is not impacted by this restatement, as the correction to interest
          income and income statement credit impairment each have an equal and opposite impact on the ECL provision.
     -    This restatement has no impact on earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders or headline earnings but does impact the relevant ratios (being
          net interest margin, credit loss ratio, cost-to-income and jaws) which have been restated for this change. Furthermore, this change has no impact
          on gross loans and advances, balance sheet ECL provisions, coverage or statement of cash flows.
     
This restatement impact to the income statement line items is detailed below.
