    ** The STADIO Group utilises core headline earnings to measure and benchmark the
       underlying performance of the business. Core headline earnings represents headline
       earnings adjusted for certain non-recurring items that, in the Board's view, may distort the
       financial results from period to period.

COMMENTARY

The STADIO Holdings' board of directors ("Board") takes pleasure in reporting another solid set of
results for the six months ended 30 June 2025, showcasing strong financial performance and robust
cash generation, positioning itself well for the opening of the new comprehensive STADIO
Durbanville campus in early 2026.

The STADIO Group grew revenue by 16% from R826 million to R957 million, driven by a 9% growth
in student numbers with a notable increase of 14% in new students.

Furthermore, core headline earnings grew by 28% from R137 million to R176 million.

Looking forward, we are on track to reach our pre-listing forecast of 56 000 students by the end of
2026 and believe we can reach 80 000 students by 2030.

The Board has adopted a policy of declaring and paying dividends on an annual basis based on
excess free-cash flow available, after considering the capital needs for future growth projects. No
interim dividend has therefore been declared (June 2024: nil).
