TRADING STATEMENT

In terms of the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited (“JSE”), companies are required to publish a
trading statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the financial results for the period to
be reported on will differ by more than 20% from that of the previous corresponding period.

Accordingly, a review by management of the year end financial results for the twelve months ended 30
June 2023 has indicated that:
                              Projected range                Actual               Percentage range
                               30 June 2023               30 June 2022

 Earnings per share         454.2 cents per share           378.5 cents               20% to 27%
 (“EPS”)                      to 480.7 cents per
                                    share
 Headline earnings per      456.8 cents per share           380.7 cents               20% to 27%
 share (“HEPS”)               to 483.5 cents per
                                    share


The impressive financial performance of the Group has been sustained in line with that reported for the
six months ended 31 December 2022. Capitalising on its diversity, scale and technology to deliver
innovative solutions to clients across multiple industries and markets, Super Group delivered a strong
performance despite a volatile macro-economic environment. This growth was achieved against a prior
year EPS and HEPS that included one-off post taxation business interruption insurance and other
contributions of R139.6 million. This equates to 38.8 cents per share in the previous year.

Against a backdrop of intensified consumer cost pressures and protracted supply chain disruptions, the
business continued to leverage the opportunities inherent in challenging and changing markets.
Underpinned by technology, Super Group’s competitiveness was evidenced in significant new client
wins, contract renewals and market share gains.

Rigorous cost management helped mitigate escalating inflation rates, diesel price increases and Rand
volatility. A focus on effective cash generation and management of working capital saw the Group
remain highly cash generative, providing the required flexibility and agility to respond to market changes
and seize growth opportunities. We continued to investigate value accretive acquisitions as part of our
growth strategy, with our current balance sheet providing significant financial capacity to make
acquisitions that complement existing business and enhance our competitive advantage.
