OLD MUTUAL TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

Investors are advised that Old Mutual is currently in the process of finalising its interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2024, which will be released on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE
Limited on Thursday, 26 September 2024. This trading statement provides an indication of a range for
headline earnings per ordinary share (HEPS) and earnings attributable to equity holders of the Group per
ordinary share (EPS) in terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements compared to
the six months ended 30 June 2023.

Strong operational performance in Old Mutual Insure, Old Mutual Corporate and Mass and Foundation
Cluster was offset by lower life profits in Personal Finance, primarily driven by an increased number of
large claims, and higher central costs compared to the prior period but in line with our expectations as
we continue to invest in our future capabilities.

Adjusted headline earnings (AHE) and adjusted headline earnings per share (AHEPS) growth was
bolstered by increased shareholder investment returns as a result of improved performance in South
African equities.

We exclude the Zimbabwe profits from AHE as the economy is currently hyperinflationary and there are
barriers to access capital by way of dividends. The main contributor to the higher level of growth in
headline earnings (HE) relative to AHE is higher shareholder portfolio profits in the Zimbabwean business.

The movement between IFRS profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the parent (IFRS profit) and
HE was primarily driven by the loss recognised on the disposal of our Nigeria business.

Results from operations (RFO) per share, AHEPS, HEPS and EPS growth benefitted from the share
repurchase programme implemented in 2023 which contributed to a reduction in the weighted average
number of ordinary shares to 4 359 million at 30 June 2024 (4 503 million at 30 June 2023).
Investors are advised that the Group's key profit measures are expected to be within the ranges outlined
below:
