Hendrik du Toit, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“The past year was challenging for Ninety One. We faced significant headwinds. We nevertheless remain confident of the
underlying strength of our business and the relevance and quality of our proposition to clients. Our people are united and
motivated to serve our clients and unlock the compelling long-term growth potential of Ninety One.”




                                                                    1
Outlook
At our last interim results, we pointed to risks that could make market conditions less supportive than at the outset of this
reporting period. Many of those have materialised and were accentuated by the policy response to persistently higher-than-
desired inflation rates. Despite the market rally towards the end of the financial year, the coming reporting period will remain
full of challenges and we enter it with appropriate levels of caution.
As we have done since inception in 1991, we continue to invest for long-term growth. Ninety One is a resilient business, with
a largely risk-on product offering and a track record of navigating difficult conditions and change. We see ample growth
opportunities ahead as risk appetite returns, so long as we keep delivering for our clients and serve society at large. We are
mindful of the fact that we have no business without the support of our clients and the communities within which we operate.
We thank them and our other stakeholders profoundly for their support after 32 years in business.
We will remain actively involved in the move to a more sustainable future, including the financing of this multi-decade
transition. Our stated purpose is, after all, to invest for a better tomorrow.
Our focus remains firmly on execution. We look to the future with confidence.

Adjusted measures presented in this announcement
Adjusted operating profit margin is calculated as adjusted operating profit divided by adjusted operating revenue. A full
description of alternative performance measures, including the reconciliation to their nearest condensed consolidated
financial statements equivalents, is included on pages 13-14 of the full announcement.

Shareholder information
In line with our stated dividend policy the Board has recommended a final dividend of 6.7 pence per share, of which 4.3 pence
per share represents 50% of profit after tax prior to the recognition of non-operating items and 2.4p per share represents
after-tax earnings after ensuring we have sufficient capital to meet current or expected changes in the regulatory capital
requirements and investment needs, as well as a reasonable buffer to protect against fluctuations in those requirements.
