JSE Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) Registration number: 2005/022939/06 Share code: JSE ISIN: ZAE000079711 LEI: 213800MZ1VUQEBWRFO39 ("JSE" or "the Group") Summarised consolidated annual financial results and ordinary cash dividend declaration for the year ended 31 December 2022 " The JSE's solid performance reflects the quality of our earnings and the resilience of our operating platforms within a challenging trading environment. I am pleased to report year-on-year growth of 4% in headline earnings per share, and a strong ROE of 18%, well within our long-term target range. Our strategy to diversify revenue continues to gain traction, with non-trading revenue up 13% year-on-year to 25% of total operating revenue. This performance is underpinned by robust operational processes and 99.9% uptime across our markets. The business remains strongly cash generative and this has enabled the Board to declare an ordinary dividend of 769 cents per share for 2022, resulting in a distribution to shareholders of R668 million. These results demonstrate the value of our investment strategy and provide momentum for future growth." - Leila Fourie, Group CEO Overview of results Net profit after tax (NPAT) increased by 4% YoY to R749 million, with headline earnings per share (HEPS) increasing by 4% YoY to 917.7 cents per share (2021: 878.9 cents). Earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) of R1.07 billion increased by 1% YoY. The Group recorded revenue growth across its business segments. Operating revenue grew 5% to R2.7 billion, with an 11% increase in revenue from Information Services and a 28% increase in revenue from JSE Investor Services (JIS). The JSE further increased the proportion of its revenue derived from non-trading activity in line with our strategic intent (non-trading revenue grew by 13% from R590 million to R668 million in 2022). Total operating expenditure increased by 7.5% YoY to R1.9 billion. Other operating expenditure growth includes an increase in administration fees relating to an increase in JIS revenue generating activities and an increase in electricity and building utilities (e.g., diesel). Personnel costs reflect annual salary increases and the annualised impact of headcount relating to new acquisitions. Rising interest rates and growth in margin deposits have supported higher net finance income, which increased 40% YoY to R203 million (2021: R146 million). Continued strong cash generated from operations of R978 million has enabled the Board to declare an ordinary dividend of 769 cents per share for 2022, an increase of 2% YoY. The JSE will maintain a pay-out ratio between 67% - 100% of distributable earnings in respect of the annual ordinary dividend. Capital expenditure of R127 million was focused on operational resilience and growth initiatives. The Group maintains a robust balance sheet and cash of R2.2 billion at 31 December 2022. Ring fenced and non-distributable cash (regulatory capital and investor protection) amounts to R1.2 billion. Of the remaining R1 billion, R668 million will be distributed as dividends.
