MURRAY & ROBERTS HOLDINGS LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

(“Murray & Roberts” or the “Group”)

TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Over several years of market instability, Murray & Roberts has demonstrated an ability to
deliver on its strategic objectives. The Group’s multi-year, record-high order book and
strong project pipeline speaks to the extensive transformation that Murray & Roberts has
undergone to become a multinational engineering and contracting group, with business
platforms that are well positioned as specialist contractors.

Murray & Roberts will be reporting strong growth in revenue and earnings for the year to 30
June 2022, notwithstanding the continued impact on the business from the pandemic and
the war in Ukraine. Areas of impact include disruption in supply chains, changes to project
schedules and associated deferral of milestone payments, escalating inflation, and
therefore, difficult commercial environments.

The Group has a strong order book of R59,5 billion (FY2021: R60,7 billion) and significant
near orders of R60,4 billion (FY2021: R11,1 billion).

The Group expects to report FY2022 results within the following ranges:
