1. Core headline earnings from continuing operations is a non-IFRS measure which excludes gains/losses, costs and adjustments
associated with acquisitions and disposals of investments. Core adjustments for the period ended 31 March 2022 relate to
transaction costs of R5 million for the acquisition of an additional 25% of WeBuyCars by Transaction Capital Motor Holdco (Pty)
Ltd (TCMH), as well as adjustments relating to the written put option over non-controlling interests in WeBuyCars (R125 million
imputed interest charge). It is management’s view that the most appropriate metric to measure performance for the six months
ended 31 March 2022 is core HEPS from continuing operations.
Transaction Capital’s performance in the six months ended 31 March 2022 has been strong and in line with
our expectation. Based on our current assessment of operating conditions and growth prospects, we expect
core headline earnings per share in the 2022 financial year (FY2022) to exceed FY2021 core HEPS at a rate
higher than pre-pandemic growth rates. This performance is supported by a steady recovery by SA Taxi and
high-growth earnings from WeBuyCars and Transaction Capital Risk Services (TCRS), which are both on track
to grow at a rate higher than prior years.
Shareholders are advised that the information contained in this announcement has not been reviewed or
reported on by the group’s auditors.

Transaction Capital’s results for the six months ended 31 March 2022 will be released on SENS on Wednesday,
