PBT Group’s financial performance was driven by:

       •   Organic revenue growth due to continued demand for PBT Group’s services.
       •   Containing costs, resulting in EBITDA margin expansion.
       •   Converting operating accounting earnings into operating cash earnings.



   * PBT Group is reporting normalised headline earnings and normalised headline earnings per share figures.
   These figures reverse the accounting effect of IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. The board of directors of PBT
   Group is of the view that this is a more accurate reflection of the Company’s after-tax earnings and after-tax
   earnings per share.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed and reported on by
the Company’s auditors.

The Company’s results for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022 are scheduled to be published on or about 30
June 2022.

By order of the board of directors.
