INTERIM RESULTS            ANNOUNCEMENT          FOR      THE    SIX    MONTHS        ENDED
30 SEPTEMBER 2023


1.   SALIENT FEATURES

     Revenue increased by R147 million (9%) to R1 711 million, from R1 564 million in the
     prior corresponding period.

     Headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) decreased by 6 cents per share (36%) to 10 cents
     per share, from 16 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.

     Earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased by 8 cents per share (43%) to 10 cents per share,
     from 18 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.

     Net asset value per share (“NAVPS”) increased by 13 cents per share (3%) to 406 cents
     per share, from 393 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.

     Profit decreased by R34 million (42%) to R45 million, from R79 million in the prior
     corresponding period.

     No distribution was declared for the six months ended 30 September 2023 (2022: Nil).

     During the prior year, Deneb received proceeds from an insurance claim for business
     interruption. As these proceeds are non-recurring, we are of the opinion that providing
     earnings on an adjusted basis whereby we exclude the net insurance proceeds from the
     prior year numbers, is a meaningful disclosure to shareholders.
     Adjusted headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) increased by 4 cents per share (69%) to
     10 cents per share, from 6 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.

     Adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) increased by 2 cents per share (29%) to 10 cents
     per share, from 8 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.
