AUDITED ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024


1.   SALIENT FEATURES

     Revenue decreased by 2% to R29 062 million, from R29 628 million for the year ended 30 June 2023
     ("prior year").

     Operating profit before capital items decreased by 11% to R2 250 million, from R2 523 million in the prior
     year.

     Headline earnings per share decreased by 4% to 45.3 cents, from 47.3 cents in the prior year.

     Earnings per share increased by 106% to 43.8 cents, from 21.3 cents in the prior year, as the prior year
     included a R570 million non-cash impairment of intangibles, net of tax, related to Unitrans.

     Net asset value per share increased by 7% to 500 cents, from 466 cents in the prior year.

     The board of directors has not declared a dividend for the year ended 30 June 2024 (30 June 2023: Nil).

2.   RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR YEAR ERROR

     During October 2023, management detected that a raw material supplier had incorrectly applied a
     contractual pricing formula for the period 1 February 2022 to 30 September 2023. This resulted in Safripol
     Proprietary Limited being overcharged, with a resultant overstatement in raw material purchases amounting
     to R183 million, of which R163 million related to the period prior to 1 July 2023. The error was immediately
     corrected and the overcharges recovered from the supplier. The prior year has been restated to correct the
     impact of the error, effectively increasing the prior year's earnings. The impact of the restatement is
     disclosed in the notes to the consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024
     ("Annual Financial Statements").
