UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


1.   SALIENT FEATURES

     Revenue increased by 6.9% to R292.2 million, from R273.3 million in the prior corresponding
     period.

     Earnings and headline earnings per share decreased by 16.1% to 21.4 cents per share, from
     25.5 cents per share in the prior corresponding period.

     During the period under review the Group faced two significant challenges, namely, declining
     revenue in the domestic market; and increased opening debt levels as at 30 June 2023, at
     higher interest rates.

     With reference to the above, the following was achieved during the six month period:
     •     revenue from international markets increased to R82.4 million (driven by a strong
           performance by the Trellidor UK division), representing 28.2% of the Group’s revenue;
           and
     •     net debt was reduced from R140.3 million to R116.8 million, driven by improvements
           in the investment in working capital.

     Despite ongoing macro-economic challenges, particularly in the domestic market, the
     Group’s strategies remain focused on improving shareholder value over time. These include
     restructuring and optimally reducing the current level of net debt, further improved working
     capital management, and rigorous cost management. In addition, the Group will continue to
     focus on optimising revenue generation domestically, while leveraging off opportunities
     abroad.

2.   DIVIDEND

     Given the current level of net debt, the Board has taken a decision not to declare an interim
     dividend in respect of the six months ended 31 December 2023 (F23 H1: Nil). The objective
     of the Board is to revert to paying dividends once borrowings and gearing levels have
     normalised.
