 In terms of paragraph 3.4(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements, a listed company is required to publish

 results for the financial period to be reported on next, will differ by at least 20% or more from those of
 the previous comparable period.

 Shareholders are advised that the Group's reported basic earnings per share ("BEPS") and headline
 earnings per share ("HEPS") from continuing operations and total operations (continuing and

 The increase in BEPS and HEPS from continuing operations was mainly due to the once-off expenses in
 the prior period relating to the after-tax impact of R451 million for the derecognition loss of the Telkom
 Retirement Fund ("TRF"), and the after-tax impact of R117 million relating to restructuring costs.
 Continued underlying operating performance as well as focused structural cost containment have
 contributed to the earnings growth. Total operations included Swiftnet in the prior period which was
 disclosed as a discontinued operation and the sale was concluded in FY2025.

 The difference between BEPS and HEPS relates to the exclusion of the net profit on disposal of
 property, plant & equipment and intangible assets, which is offset by the net write-offs on property,
 plant & equipment and intangible assets.

 The financial information in this announcement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group's
 auditors.

 Interim results presentation webcast
 The Group's interim results announcement for H1 FY2026 is expected to be released on SENS on or
