1Q25 performance
The group's 1Q25 earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders were R10.9 billion. Headline
adjustable items were not material in 1Q25 and as a result, the group's 1Q25 headline earnings were
R10.9 billion, up 10% on 1Q24 (1Q24 headline earnings: R9.9 billion). Africa Regions' contribution to
group headline earnings remained above 40% in 1Q25, reflective of the resilience and diversified
nature of the portfolio. The impact of currency movements was in line with expectations.
Outlook
We are monitoring developments related to geopolitics and tariffs. The impact thereof on confidence
and activity, interest rates, and macroeconomic growth across the markets in which we operate is
uncertain. At this stage, the group's 2025 guidance released in March remains unchanged.
The group remains well capitalised and liquid and stands ready and able to serve the needs of our 20
million customers and support the economies and communities where we operate.
The information contained in this announcement has not been reviewed and reported on by the
group's external auditors.
