Investec Bank Limited, a subsidiary of Investec Limited, posted an increase
in headline earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders of 44.9% to

The balance sheet remains sound with a capital adequacy ratio of 15.5%
(31 March 2017: 15.4%). For full information on the Investec Group results,

group's website http://www.investec.com.

Financial review

Unless the context indicates otherwise, all comparatives referred to in the
financial review relate to the year ended 31 March 2017.

Salient operational features for the year under review include:

Total operating income before impairment losses on loans and advances
increased by 6.4% to R11 446 million (2017: R10 754 million).

The components of operating income are analysed further below:

- Net interest income increased 1.9% to R7 562 million
  (2017: R7 419 million) benefiting from sound levels of lending activity
  across the banking businesses. This was somewhat offset by the roll off
  of higher yielding debt securities and increased subordinated debt.
- Net fee and commission income increased 12.3% to R2 245 million
  (2017: R1 999 million) supported by continued growth and activity levels
  in the private banking client base as well as a good performance from the
  corporate businesses.
- Investment income increased 12.3% to R530 million (2017: R472 million)
  supported by a sound performance from the bank's client-driven private
  equity portfolio.
- Share of post taxation profit of associates of R777 million
  (2017: R306 million) primarily reflects earnings in relation to the bank's
  investment in the IEP Group.
- Trading income arising from customer flow decreased by 26.7% to
  R356 million (2017: R486 million) as a consequence of losses incurred
  on Steinhoff (refer to additional information). Trading income from other
  trading activities reflected a loss of R26 million (2017: R70 million income)
  predominantly impacted by foreign currency translation.

Impairments on loans and advances increased from R657 million to
R720 million, however, the credit loss ratio reduced to 0.28% (2017: 0.29%),
remaining at the lower end of its long-term average trend. The percentage of
default loans (net of impairments but before taking collateral into account)
to core loans and advances amounted to 0.56% (2017: 1.03%). The ratio
of collateral to default loans (net of impairments) remains satisfactory at
2.49 times (2017: 1.81 times).

The ratio of total operating costs to total operating income amounted to 53.3%
(2017: 54.7%). Total operating expenses at R6 100 million were 3.6% higher
than the prior year (2017: R5 887 million) reflecting continued investment into
IT and digital initiatives and higher headcount to support increased activity and
growth strategies; partly offset by the pending acquisition of the head office
building and the related rental provision no longer required.

As a result of the foregoing factors operating profit before acquired intangibles
increased by 9.9% to R4 626 million (2017: R4 210 million). Profit after taxation
increased by 44.7% to R4 673 million (2017: R3 229 million) impacted by a
lower tax rate following the release of provisions no longer required.

Additional information - Investec exposures to the
Steinhoff Group of companies

On 11 December 2017 the group released an announcement on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange in relation to its exposures to Steinhoff
International Holdings NV (Steinhoff), its subsidiaries and related entities.
Trading and investment losses incurred in respect of these exposures
amounted to R210 million in the current financial year, less than the estimate
referred to in the December announcement. As noted in that announcement
Investec has credit exposures largely to Steinhoff Africa Holdings (Pty) Ltd
subsidiaries and Steinhoff Africa Retail Ltd, which represent a small portion of
the group's balance sheet. Based on the information currently available to the
group, Investec is not expecting to suffer any losses on these exposures.

Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective

The following significant standards and interpretations, which have been
issued but are not yet effective for the current financial year, are applicable to
the group.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 is effective and will be implemented by Investec Bank Limited from
1 April 2018. The bank will provide its detailed transitional disclosures when it
publishes its annual report for the year ended 31 March 2018 on 29 June 2018.

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 and sets out the new requirements for the
recognition and measurement of financial instruments. These requirements
focus primarily on the classification and measurement of financial instruments
and measurement of impairment losses based on an expected credit loss
(ECL) model.

Investec Bank Limited currently applies the Standardised approach when
calculating capital requirements. The impact of IFRS 9 on Investec Bank
Limited's common equity tier 1 (CET 1) ratio is potentially more significant
when compared to Internal Ratings Based approach banks, who already
deduct from CET 1 capital any excess expected losses over impairment
allowances.

Subject to finalisation, the adoption of IFRS 9 is expected to result in the
following estimated impact for Investec Bank Limited.

Balance sheet impairment allowance and provisions

Total balance sheet impairment allowance and provisions are expected to
increase by approximately R657 million from R1.5 billion as at 31 March
2018 to approximately R2.2 billion as at 1 April 2018. This is driven by an
increase in stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 impairments of approximately
R811 million, partially offset by a reduction of approximately R154 million as
a result of the changes in classification and measurement of certain of the
bank's financial assets to fair value. The increase in impairment allowance
and provisions is expected to reduce the CET 1 ratio by approximately
15bps on a fully loaded basis, or approximately 4bps on a day one impact
transitional basis.

Changes in classification and measurement of certain
financial assets

In addition, changes in classification and measurement of certain of the
bank's other financial assets is expected to result in a decrease to equity
of approximately R419 million (post taxation), with an approximate 13bps
impact on the CET 1 ratio.

Taken together, the adoption of IFRS 9 is expected to result in a decrease in
Investec Bank Limited's transitional CET 1 ratio of approximately 20bps from
10.9% to approximately 10.7%, in line with the group's target and in excess
of minimum regulatory requirements. Investec Bank Limited confirmed to the
SARB that it will use the transitional arrangements to absorb the full impact
permissible of IFRS 9 in regulatory capital calculations.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers

IFRS 15 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018
and will be implemented by the group from 1 April 2018. IFRS 15 provides
a principles-based approach for revenue recognition and introduces
the concept of recognising revenue for obligations as they are satisfied.
The group's current measurement and recognition principles are aligned to
the standard and the group does not expect an impact to measurement
principles currently applied. The impact of the disclosure requirements of the
standard is currently being assessed.

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements
for preliminary reports and the requirements of the Companies Act of
South Africa. The Listings Requirements require preliminary reports to be
prepared in accordance with the framework concepts and the measurement
and recognition requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the
Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued
by Financial Reporting Standards Council and to also, as a minimum, contain
the information required by IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the condensed
consolidated financial statements are in terms of IFRS and are consistent
with those applied in the previous consolidated annual financial statements.

The financial results have been prepared under the supervision of
Nishlan Samujh, the group Chief Financial Officer. The annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2018 will be posted to stakeholders
on 29 June 2018. These annual financial statements will be available on the
group's website on the same date.

Financial instruments carried at fair value

The table below analyses recurring fair value measurements for financial assets and financial liabilities. These fair value measurements 
are categorised into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to the valuation technique used. The different levels 
are identified as follows:

Level 1 - quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly 
          (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs)

                                                                                                 Fair value category

Sensitivity of fair values to reasonably possible alternative assumptions by level 3 instrument type

The fair value of financial instruments in level 3 are measured using valuation techniques that incorporate assumptions that are not 
evidenced by prices from observable market data. The following table shows the sensitivity of these fair values to reasonably possible 
alternative assumptions, determined at a transactional level:

*  The EBITDA and cash flows have been stressed on an investment-by-investment basis in order to obtain favourable and unfavourable valuations.
** The valuation sensitivity for certain equity investments has been assessed by adjusting various inputs such as expected cash flows, discount 
   rates, earnings multiples rather than a single input. It is deemed appropriate to reflect the outcome on a portfolio basis for the purpose of 
   this analysis as the sensitivity of the investments cannot be determined through the adjustment of a single input.

In determining the value of level 3 financial instruments, the following is a principal input that can require judgement:

Price-earnings multiple

The price-to-earnings ratio is an equity valuation multiple. It is a key driver in the valuation of unlisted investments.

EBITDA

The company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation. This is the main input into a price earnings multiple valuation method.

Precious and industrial metals

The price of precious and industrial metals is a key driver of future cash flows on these investments.
