UNAUDITED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 AND DIVIDEND
DECLARATION
Group results summary for the year ended 31 March 2023 (FY2023) compared to 31 March 2022 (FY2022)
• The Group achieved strong financial performance amidst a complex macroeconomic backdrop that prevailed throughout the
  financial year
• Adjusted earnings per share increased 25.0% to 68.9p (FY2022: 55.1p), at the upper end of previous guidance
• Funds under management (FUM) decreased 4.5% to £61.0 billion (FY2022: £63.8 billion) largely reflecting the unfavourable
  market movements. Net inflows were £377 million, with £810 million inflows in discretionary FUM partly offset by £433 million
  net outflows in non-discretionary FUM
• Net core loans increased to £30.2 billion (FY2022: £29.9 billion) increasing 7.7% in neutral currency; largely driven by
  corporate lending and residential mortgage lending in both core geographies
• Customer accounts (deposits) increased 5.8% in constant currency, and decreased by 1.4% to £39.6 billion on reported basis
• Revenue grew 14.6%, benefitting from higher global interest rates and loan growth, which was underpinned by client
  acquisition and increased client activity. Fee and commission income was negatively impacted by the unfavourable market
  movements and weakening macro backdrop
• The cost to income ratio improved to 59.6% (FY2022: 63.3%) as operating costs grew by 9.5%. Fixed operating expenditure
  increased by 11.3%, due to inflationary pressures, continued investment in people and technology to support growth, and
  post-pandemic normalisation in certain discretionary spend
• Pre-provision adjusted operating profit increased 28.0% to £917.0 million (FY2022: £716.2 million), supported by the diversity
  of our revenue streams
• Asset quality remained strong with exposures well covered by collateral. Expected credit loss (ECL) impairment charges
  increased to £81.1 million (FY2022: £28.8 million), resulting in a credit loss ratio (CLR) of 23bps (FY2022: 8bps), and
  approaching the lower end of the Group’s through-the-cycle (TTC) range of 25bps to 35bps
• Return on equity (ROE) was 13.7% (FY2022: 11.4%) and return on tangible equity (ROTE) was 14.7% (FY2022: 12.3%)
• Tangible net asset value (TNAV) per share remained broadly flat at 474.3p (FY2022: 476.6p). Net asset value (NAV) per share
  was 510.0p (FY2022: 510.0p) notwithstanding the return to shareholders of 64p per share through the distribution of a 15%
  shareholding in Ninety One, dividends, and the share purchase programme
• The Group continued to execute on its strategic priorities to grow with discipline and implemented a number of capital
  optimisation strategies
• Post the year-end, Investec announced the all-share combination of Investec Wealth & Investment UK (IW&I UK) with
  Rathbones plc to create the UK’s leading discretionary wealth manager with approximately £100 billion in funds under
  management and administration
• Maintained strong capital and liquidity positions allowing us to navigate the current volatile and uncertain environment, and
  support identified growth initiatives
• The Board has proposed a final dividend of 17.5p per share, resulting in a full year dividend of 31.0p (FY2022: 25.0p). The
  payout ratio of 45.0% is within the Group’s 30% to 50% payout range.

Fani Titi, Group Chief Executive commented:
“The Group reported strong results in a challenging macro backdrop, with all our client franchises reporting growth in pre-
provision adjusted operating profit. Our focused approach to support our clients and the diversified nature of our revenue
streams underpinned the financial performance. We achieved adjusted earnings per share of 68.9p, a 25.0% growth on prior year
and made significant progress against the strategic goals outlined in 2019, with the Group’s ROE well within the 12% to 16%
target range set out for achievement in FY2024.
During the period under review, we returned approximately £780 million to shareholders, comprising ordinary dividends, the
share purchase programme to optimise the SA balance sheet and the distribution of a 15% shareholding in Ninety One.
The strong capital generation across the Group allows us to maintain robust capital and liquidity levels, deliver improved returns
to our shareholders, and support our clients, colleagues, and societies through an uncertain economic environment. We are
proud of the progress we are making to entrench sustainability across every aspect of our business."

Strategy execution
Combination of Investec Wealth & Investment UK (IW&I UK) with Rathbones
On 4 April 2023, the Group announced it had reached agreement on a proposed all-share combination of IW&I UK with
Rathbones to create the UK’s leading discretionary wealth manager (the “Enlarged Rathbones Group”) (the “Combination”). The
Enlarged Rathbones Group will have approximately £100 billion in funds under management and administration (“FUMA”),
delivering the scale that will underpin future growth. The Combination establishes a long-term, strategic partnership between
the Enlarged Rathbones Group and Investec Group, which will enhance the client proposition across banking and wealth
management services for both groups. The Combination represents a significant value creation opportunity for both Investec
Group and Rathbones stakeholders. Under the terms of the agreement, Investec will own 41.25% of the Enlarged Rathbones
Group in which it will be a long-term strategic shareholder, participating in the anticipated value creation from the combination
including identified banking opportunities. The Combination is subject to, among other things, Rathbones shareholder and
regulatory approvals. Completion is expected to occur in early Q4 2023 (subject to approvals). The full announcement can be
found here www.investec.com/content/dam/investor-relations/presentations-and-announcements/Investec-Announcement.pdf
Capital optimisation
Investec has made significant progress in its capital optimisation strategy. To date, the Group has acquired c.52 million INL and
INP shares or an equivalent of c.5.2% of the shares outstanding before the November 2022 announcement of the share
purchase and share buy-back programme; and returned c.R5.5 billion or £245 million to shareholders through this programme. In
South Africa, Investec Limited received approval to commence capital measurement for the income producing real estate
portfolio under the advanced internal ratings based (AIRB) approach, resulting in 242bps uplift to the CET 1 ratio at
implementation.
Investec Equity Partners (IEP) Group restructure
As disclosed to shareholders in the September 2022 interim results:
• The IEP Group and Bud Group shareholders have approved a restructure to facilitate an exit by certain IEP shareholders,
  including Investec, by way of a share buyback. The restructure entails the transfer of certain assets to a Newco, to facilitate
  the orderly disposal of those assets
• Newco had entered into binding transaction agreements to dispose of certain chemical assets (“Chemical Asset Sale”)
Shareholders are advised that the Chemical Asset Sale closed during the reporting period ended 31 March 2023, and on the
back of this transaction as well as additional transactions pursuant to the IEP and Bud Group restructure, c.R810 million cash
proceeds were received by Investec Limited in FY2023. Post year end, an additional R183 million has been received. The
carrying value of the shareholding in IEP as at 31 March 2023 was R4.7 billion (FY2022: R5.4 billion).
The balance of the asset disposal process is anticipated to conclude over the next 18 months, subject to market conditions.
Investec Property Fund (IPF) internalisation
Post Investec Group’s year-end, IPF shareholders approved the internalisation of the management company (Manco) which we
believe will position the IPF platform well to unlock shareholder value in the long term This is subject to regulatory approval,
including the Competition Authorities. Closing is expected to occur in Q3 2023.
Outlook
The Group is well positioned to continue supporting its clients notwithstanding the uncertain macroeconomic outlook. We have
strong capital and robust liquidity levels to navigate the current environment and pursue our identified growth initiatives in our
chosen markets.
FY2024 guidance
Based on the macroeconomic outlook for our two core geographies, the Group currently expects:
• Revenue outlook to be underpinned by moderate book growth, continued elevated interest rates and client activity levels
• Overall costs to be contained with cost to income ratio of approximately 60%, despite inflationary pressures and continued
  investment in the business
• A normalisation of credit loss ratio to inside the through-the-cycle (TTC) range of 25bps to 35bps
• Capital optimisation strategies to continue as well as progress on IEP
• ROE to be around the mid-point of the Group’s current target range of 12% to 16%.
