SUMMARY OF MEDICLINIC GROUP LIMITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

INTRODUCTION

Following the acquisition by Manta Bidco Limited ("Manta Bidco") (a consortium consisting of Remgro and MSC
Mediterranean Shipping Company SA) and subsequent delisting of Mediclinic Group Limited ("Mediclinic" or "Group"),
there is no regulatory requirement for Mediclinic to release financial results. However, considering the significant
contribution by Mediclinic to Remgro's results and intrinsic net asset value, Remgro is releasing a voluntary statement
containing a summary of Mediclinic's financial results for the year ended 31 March 2024. Mediclinic's financial results,
including divisional results and reconciliations ("Mediclinic Abridged Results"), can be accessed at the following link on
Remgro's website https://www.remgro.com/investor-centre/mediclinic-results/.

1. As Mediclinic's results are now consolidated into the accounts of Manta Bidco, unaudited pro-forma information is
   provided for comparative purposes, which represents the full-year results of Mediclinic.
2. The percentage variances are calculated in unrounded US dollar values and not in millions.
3. The Group uses adjusted income statement reporting as non-IFRS measures in evaluating performance and to provide
   consistent and comparable reporting. Refer to the policy and 'Reconciliations' section on pages 5 to 7 of the Mediclinic
   Abridged Results.
4. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA").
5. Earnings refers to earnings attributable to equity holders.
6. Net incurred debt reflects bank borrowings, net of cash and cash equivalents, and excludes IFRS 16 lease liabilities.
7. Cash conversion, calculated as cash generated from operations (which excludes capital expenditure) as a percentage of
   adjusted EBITDA, is used by management to measure cash generation by the Group.

RESULTS COMMENTARY
Mediclinic's results for the year ended 31 March 2024 were impacted by a weak performance in Switzerland, partially
offset by a strong showing in the Middle East. Group revenue was up 5% at $4 592m (FY23: $4 356m) and up 5% in
constant currency terms. This result was driven by a 0.9% growth in inpatient admissions and a 1.6% growth in day case
admissions, partly offset by lower average revenue per case due to mix changes and ongoing tariff pressures.

Adjusted EBITDA was down 2% at $673m (FY23: $685m). The Group's adjusted EBITDA margin reduced to 14.7%
(FY23: 15.8%), reflecting above-inflationary increases in the cost base, particularly employee and contractor costs and
consumables and supplies.

The full year results reflect an improved performance in the second half of the financial year in line with usual seasonality
in the business but also on improved volumes in Switzerland and finished marginally ahead of the guidance provided by
Remgro on 15 March 2024.
