OLD MUTUAL TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Investors are advised that Old Mutual is currently in the process of finalising its interim results for the six
months ended 30 June 2025, which will be released on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE
Limited on Wednesday, 10 September 2025. This trading statement provides an indication of a range for
headline earnings per share and earnings per share in terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the JSE Limited
Listings Requirements compared to the six months ended 30 June 2024 (prior period).

Results from operations per share, adjusted headline earnings per share, headline earnings per share
and basic earnings per share growth benefited from the share repurchase programme implemented in
2024 which contributed to a reduction in the weighted average number of ordinary shares to
4 270 million at 30 June 2025 (4 359 million at 30 June 2024).

Growth in results from operations was primarily driven by exceptional growth in Old Mutual Insure and
the impact of favourable financial markets. In addition, the prior period included once off adverse
mortality experience in Personal Finance and an impairment of a secured loan in Mass and Foundation
Cluster. This growth was partially offset by the negative impact of a persistency basis change in Mass
and Foundation Cluster and higher central costs which includes a once off restructuring provision
incurred to reduce future spending.

Adjusted headline earnings growth was further bolstered by increased shareholder investment returns
as a result of improved performance in the South African and Malawian equity markets which were
considerably above expected returns.

Investors are reminded that we exclude the profits of our Zimbabwean business from adjusted headline
earnings due to continued restrictions on accessing capital by way of dividends. The reduction in IFRS
profit and headline earnings was driven by an approximately R2.2 billion decrease in the Zimbabwe
profits as we implemented a change in functional currency from Zimbabwe Gold to the United States
dollar from 1 July 2024. While this resulted in lower IFRS earnings to the Group, this had a limited impact
on net asset value due to lower currency translation losses reflected in equity. This decrease in IFRS profits
and headline earnings does not have any impact on adjusted headline earnings.

Investors are advised that the Group's key profit measures are expected to be within the ranges outlined
below:
