Comments by the CEO on 2025 first quarter trading.

During the meeting, Graham Dunford, chief executive of Hudaco, made the following comments on trading for
the first quarter:

      "Hudaco's first quarter includes the holiday months of December and January, so it is not normally a reliable
      indicator of how the year will unfold. It has only been a few weeks since our results presentation, at which
      we explained why we believed that Hudaco is well placed for a successful 2025 financial year. Our reasons
      included an improvement in trading towards the end of 2024, declining interest rates, progress at the ports,
      reduced load-shedding, structural changes in loss-making businesses and contributions from acquisitions.
      Our outlook remains unchanged"
