The Environment 2016/17 likely to be much tougher South Africa: • Overall consumer confidence weakest since 1994. Upper-income confidence sliding, now at 1998 levels • CPI now above 6% and likely heading to 7% from drought-induced Food inflation Weak & jobless economic growth. If domestic recession avoided (likely), global economy • still a detractor • Now in interest up-cycle (+100bps in FY16?) • Consumer impact of renewed price pressure not to be underestimated Africa: Apart from oil-dependent countries, most have stabilised at new lower economic levels • • Severe currency weakness in some countries. Devaluations seem likely in others • US$ remains de facto currency • Long-term potential intact but requires measured long-term approach Yea ear en end d resul ults Presen entation December 2015 2

Perspective on Game Pleased with Trading recovery. Longer-term business renewal Short-term: Improving SA performance. Better margin management. • • Food: 18 new / converted Fresh stores since December ’14, now 84 stores. Food & Liquor sales growth 19% • Non- SA countries’ economies have stabilised.

Perspective on Masscash Wholesale Fluid market – consolidation opportunity. Transforming the business. Short-term: • Commodities (25% participation) recently moved into inflation Margin pressure across entire wholesale market • • ARCH Enterprise IT system enabling regional buying & pricing • Gained market share Longer-term: • Drive lower operating costs from fewer & larger stores, Shield B2B, logistics & DCs • Largest participant in SA formal Wholesale, and wholesale remains 20%- 25% of total SA FMCG • A relationship business: • need to be close to our customers be suppliers’ preferred distribution partner – an efficient & effective • route to market • Great business model for growth into under-penetrated non-SA countries Yea ear en end d resul ults Presen entation December 2015 8

Perspective on Massbuild Massbuild’s sales linked to well -being of domestic bonded housing market Builders Warehouse sales slowed in H2: • Whilst some slowdown in Retail sales, 2% of the lower sales growth is from Trade sales which slowed as contractors’ business from provincial & local government declined Put one large provincial Govt account on hold due to delayed payment (now fully • settled). Adverse impact: 3% sales growth • Insignificant generator sales reduce sales growth by 1% • Monthly growth in Residential building plans passed remains positive, suggesting order books for early 2016 may still be robust Looking ahead: • Aggressive focus on offering / demonstrating great price & value • Possibly some sales pressure from constrained SA housing market • Will government capital spending pick-up soon? • Builders Express sales remain steady Builders’ non -SA annualised sales fast-approaching R1bn • Yea ear en end d resul ults Presen entation December 2015 9
