SHORT FORM ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE AUDITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2026
STEADY PORTFOLIO EXECUTION AND STRATEGIC POSITIONING TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM VALUE
CREATION
RHB's Net Asset Value ("NAV") has remained above R1 billion, supported by continued investment activity and
the underlying value of the Company's portfolio NAV and tangible net asset value per ordinary share increased
by 2% to R16.96 per share, reflecting the resilience of the Group's balance sheet and the continued execution
of its long-term investment strategy.
In line with the Company's strategy to transition from an 'asset- heavy owner and operator' to an 'asset- light
owner and manager of high- value healthcare assets', as well as the expansion and diversification of our
investment portfolio to capitalise on emerging opportunities, the Company made the following investments
through its subsidiary, RH Bophelo Operating Company ("RHBO"):
• In March 2025, RHBO advanced a R5.5 million loan to MMed Distribution Services Proprietary Limited
("MMed") for working capital purposes. MMed is a pharmaceutical distributor with import and export
distribution licences across South Africa.
• During the current year, RHBO deployed capital to the value of R2.0 million to RazoHealth Radiology
Proprietary Limited ("Razohealth"). Razohealth has four practices that were operational at year- end.
Razohealth is a management company for radiology practices.
• Shareholder loans of R0.4 million were advanced to Wesmart Financial and Administration Solutions
Proprietary Limited ("Wesmart") to fund various operational requirements.
These strategic initiatives, coupled with projected growth in the existing business, contributed to the current
financial performance.

• Dividend income increased significantly from R26.1 million to R83.7 million, reflecting improved
