GROWTH METRICS

Sabcap’s primary financial metric is growth in NAV per share. This 
is measured annually and growth rates over different periods are 
included in the year-end results.

The 15-year compounded annual growth rate in NAV per share to the 
2021 year-end was 16,9%, calculated without re-investing 
dividends. The compounded annual growth rate in NAV per share over 
15 years with dividends reinvested was 18,6%*. The 15-year 
compound annual growth rate in the share price was 16,0%^.

* Calculated with dividends notionally not paid and the amounts 
  notionally retained by the Company growing at 10% per annum.

^ Calculated with reference to the weighted average share prices 
  of the Sabvest ordinary and ‘N’ ordinary shares.
