Registration number: 1996/014461/06
JSE share code: AYO

(“AYO” or the “Group”)
TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021
In accordance with paragraph 3.4(b) of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a company is
required to publish a trading statement as soon as it becomes aware that the financial results for the
financial period to be reported on next will vary by 20% or more from those of the previous
corresponding period.
Accordingly, shareholders are hereby advised that a reasonable degree of certainty exists for the six
months ended 28 February 2021 that:
- the Group expects to report a basic loss per share of between 29.22 and 31.00 cents, representing a
decrease of between 181.8% and 186.8% compared to basic earnings per share (“EPS”) of 35.70
cents reported for the six months ended 29 February 2020; and
- the Group expects to report a headline loss per share of between 24.19 and 25.99 cents, representing
a decrease of between 167.6% and 172.6%, compared to headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) of
35.81 cents reported for the six months ended 29 February 2020.
The decrease in EPS and HEPS compared to the prior period is primarily as a result of a decrease in
revenue earned by the Group for the six months ended 28 February 2021. The decrease in revenue
can mainly be ascribed to a decline in the overall economic environment due to Covid-19; the non-
renewal of significant contracts, as well as a decrease in the interest income earned by the Group as
a result of the decline in the prime lending rate as compared to the prior period.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported
on by AYO’s auditors.
The Group is in the process of finalising its financial results for the six months ended 28 February 2021,
which are scheduled to be released on SENS on or about 25 May 2021.
