TRADING STATEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Trading Update
The key highlight of the half year ended 31 March 2024 ("H1 2024") was the successful unbundling, placement
and separate listing of WeBuyCars on the main board of the JSE Limited ("JSE"). This allowed Transaction
Capital to return R5.2 billion to shareholders through the distribution of 256.3 million WeBuyCars shares. The
group further raised R1.0 billion via the placement which allowed Transaction Capital to materially pay down
its debt (shortly after the H1 2024 period) and move to a net cash position at a holding company level.
In H1 2024, Mobalyz made a core loss from continuing operations driven primarily by the reduction of the
absconsion, violation and credit shortfall cover (AVCS) in SA Taxi's insurance business, which has resulted in a
once-off net loss of R966 million. SA Taxi, together with the funders, elected to materially reduce this cover,
resulting in an accelerated impairment charge. Despite the adverse impact that this decision has had on the
period's earnings, it is necessary to create a sustainable insurance business, which has now been achieved.
As a result of the fact that SA Taxi has not yet achieved a balance sheet restructure, the business is currently
being managed with a priority on preserving and generating cash as opposed to optimising profit. As such,
commercial decisions that prioritise cash generation are being executed at the expense of profitability. This
approach has the support of the funders. These losses incurred at SA Taxi, its subsidiaries and funding entities,
while consolidated in accordance with IFRS at a group level, are not funded by Transaction Capital nor do they
impact the equity of Transaction Capital at a holding company level.
As a consequence of the corporate activities in H1 2024, Transaction Capital has achieved its objective of
becoming an unencumbered investment holding company with two assets: 100% of Nutun and 75% of
Mobalyz (written down to zero) with net cash of approximately R120 million.

1. Comparative information for 31 March 2023 has been restated for the correction of the Nutun CX put option liability, reversal
of the discontinued operations related to the SA Taxi auto refurbishment and repair business due to the reversal of the decision
to sell and the classification of WeBuyCars, Nutun Australia and Nutun Transact as discontinued operations.
2. Earnings/loss from continuing operations exclude results from discontinued operations.
3. Core earnings from continuing operations is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated by adjusting headline earnings with the
following:
- Once-off transaction costs which are directly attributable to corporate activity (which comprises mostly legal and
consulting fees).
- Adjustments on put and call options over non-controlling interests.
- Once-off or accelerated items, where these are reasonably expected not to re-occur in the ordinary course of business in
future reporting periods.
- Adding back specified headline earnings exclusions, if the gain/loss is considered part of Transaction Capital's normal
operations.
