MATIAS CARDARELLI, CEO, SAID:
"The past year at PPC has been one of rebuilding our foundations,changing the strategy,action and delivery.
Tough decisions were taken in order to simplify our structure,secure highly skilled and experienced talent
and more importantly,engage with our people to disseminate the new organisational culture. Implementing
phase one of our "Awaken the Giant" strategic turnaround plan,has resulted in a step change in PPC's
FY25 margins,profitability and cash generation.

Over the past year,we focused on our core competencies turning previous gaps into opportunities.
The cost discipline and accountability culture,implemented across the organisation,significantly improved
business performance,and profitability.

The FY25 results are even more remarkable,considering that the markets where we operate didn't have
noteworthy growth.Consistent with my previous communications,we remain focused on things within our
control - delivering on our plans and doing so at an increased pace.

Despite the flat sales,the strong business performance was anchored on the improvement of the cement
business fundamentals. We are becoming more competitive and better prepared to deliver an enhanced value
proposition to our customers. Besides the positive impact of cost discipline,our contribution margin
increased across all segments of our business. We were able to offset inflationary costs with early
operational improvements,from logistics optimisation to a better product mix,lower clinker factor and
improved sales sourcing.

With disciplined execution on our strategic priorities,PPC achieved significant improvements across all
key financial metrics,from EBITDA growth of 28%,to EBITDA margin expansion of 3,8p.p. and free cash flow
of 1 049 million (+306% over FY24). These improved results must make us all proud at PPC.

In parallel with the execution of our turnaround plan,we have implemented some of the defined strategic
steps that will support PPC's future competitiveness,including the approval for the construction of a new
integrated plant in the Western Cape.

The PPC board and I remain in full alignment on the journey to return PPC to profitability leadership.
While there is much work left to do,delivering ahead of plan boosts my confidence in the ability of the
team to execute the PPC growth strategy."

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
PPC delivered significantly improved profitability and cash flow generation for the twelve months to
31 March 2025 (the current year) compared to the twelve months to 31 March 2024 (the prior year),
despite continued pressure on cement volumes in both South Africa and Zimbabwe, as well as in the readymix
and ash businesses.

Group revenue decreased 1,9% to R9 871 million (FY24: R10 058 million) mainly due to a 6,7% reduction in
Zimbabwe's revenue as PPC's SA & Botswana group revenue was relatively stable, increasing by 0,6%.

Due to the implementation of initiatives pursuant to the turnaround strategy, the main driver of the group's
improved performance was the reduction in cost of sales, which decreased 5,8% to R7 922 million
(FY24: R8 409 million), combined with the reduction in administration and other operating expenditure of
8,2% to R950 million (FY24: R1 035 million). These cost improvements were the primary driver of the 59%
increase in trading profit to R982 million (FY24: R619 million).

Group EBITDA increased by 28% to R1 593 million (FY24: R1 242 million) and EBITDA margins expanded
encouragingly. Group EBITDA margin increased by 3,8 percentage points to 16.1% (FY24: 12.3%) accelerating
the group towards its medium-term target of more than 20%.

Depreciation reduced by R49 million in the current year, R25 million of which was due to an assessment of
an increase in the useful lives of assets.

Impairments totalling R181 million were taken in the current year (FY24: R267 million). All the impairments
taken in the current year were specific assets impairments. No cash generating units needed to be impaired.
Of the R181 million, R155 million relates to the De Hoek mine and the Riebeeck factory due to the decision
to build a state-of-the-art integrated plant in the Western Cape (RK3). Mining of limestone at De Hoek will
largely cease from FY26 as a direct result of the increased mining at the better quality Riebeeck quarry,
and the existing raw milling lines at Riebeeck will cease to operate as RK3 is constructed. The prior year
impairment related mainly to the mothballing of the swing kiln lines at Slurry and Dwaalboom as well as the
Jupiter milling plant. All these assets,however,remain readily available should they be needed due to
increased volumes.

Finance costs decreased 19,1% to R106 million (FY24: R131 million) mainly due to lower long-term borrowing
levels in South Africa compared to the prior year combined with improved pricing of these facilities when
they were renegotiated in September 2024. Investment income increased to R63 million (FY24: R42 million)
on higher cash balances compared to the prior year, mainly due to improved cash generation as well as the
retention of 33% (some R250 million) of the net proceeds on the sale of CIMERWA in the prior year.

Profit before tax increased meaningfully to R774 million (FY24: R233 million) and profit after tax was
R466 million (FY24: R88 million).

Higher profits resulted in an increase in taxation to R308 million (FY24: R145 million) although the
effective tax rate for the current year is 40%, it has significantly improved from the prior year rate of
62%. The cash tax rate of the group, excluding a once-off item, is at 32,6%,in line with internal targets
but higher than the statutory rate. This higher rate is mainly due to withholding taxes on dividends
received, non-deductibility of costs in PPC Limited and non-deductibility of certain in-country costs in
Zimbabwe. There was a once-off negative impact on the effective rate of 3,5% due to the conclusion of a
SARS audit on PPC Cement SA for FY20 and FY21. The balance of the increase in the actual effective tax rate
is largely due to not raising deferred tax assets for certain entities in the group with assessed losses.

Earnings per share increased to 32 cents (FY24: 6 cents) in line with the significant increase in profit
for the year as there were only minor movements to the number of shares in issue during the year.
Headline earnings per share increased to 40 cents (FY24: 19 cents), mainly due to the adjustments for the
after tax impairment charges.

Cash generation and working capital management was defined as a key focus area. The group's net cash
inflow before financing activities increased by R789 million to R1 049 million
(FY24: R260 million, excluding discontinued operations) mainly due to the improved operating cash flows
(R359 million) and reduced inventory levels (R368 million).

Disciplined capital allocation continued in the current year with capital expenditure totalling
R373 million (FY24: R400 million) for the year.

Following the conclusion of the sale of PPC's investment in CIMERWA (Rwanda), a special dividend totalling
R521 million, being 66% of the net proceeds received, was declared and settled during the current year.
An ordinary cash dividend totalling R213 million, declared in June 2024, was also settled during the
current year. The net cash outlay relating to both the special and ordinary dividends amounted to R703 million.

Group gross debt declined to R502 million (FY24: R779 million) and the group improved its net cash positive
position to R370 million (FY24: R78 million) due to the lower gross debt number and a marginally stronger
cash position of R872 million (FY24: R857 million). The main drivers of the movement in net cash from
31 March 2024 are the improvement in net cash inflows before financing activities to R1 049 million
(FY24: R260 million from operating continuing operations) and the net dividend paid of R703 million (FY24: Rnil).

Of the R872 million group cash holdings, R720 million is attributable to the SA & Botswana group.
The SA & Botswana group has total debt of R502 million and financial leases of R137 million leaving the
overall SA & Botswana group is in a net cash position. The SA & Botswana group leverage objective remains
at or below net debt to EBITDA of 1,3 - 1,5 times.

SA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT
Cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana for the current year were down 2,3% when compared to the
prior year. In the South African market, the competition across both the industrial and construction segments
and the retail segment intensified during FY25. Nevertheless, the cement sales in the second half of the
year grew period-on-period but a full year recovery was hampered by the heavy rains affecting the fourth
quarter of the year. Botswana sales experienced a significant drop in the last quarter of the year due to
the impact that rains had on the rail logistics that supply that market.

Notwithstanding declining volumes, average selling price increases resulted in cement revenues increasing
year-on-year. However, the price increases implemented in June 2024 and February 2025 did not hold completely
due to competitor pricing. Overall, including clinker sales outside the group, the SA & Botswana group
revenue increased by 2,3% to R5 839 million (FY24: R5 709 million).

Despite input cost inflation and continued high electricity tariff increases during the year, total costs
including depreciation decreased 1,8%, driven by cost discipline and the benefits of the turnaround actions,
namely in-housing logistics, optimising the source of cement sales, fuel mix optimisation and increased use
of extenders in cement.

In the current financial year, the methodology used by PPC Group Services (Group Services) to charge
management fees to the other group companies was changed. In addition, with effect from 1 October 2024,
all the assets and employees of Group Services were taken over by PPC Cement SA. It is therefore more
representative in the current financial year to assess cost reduction in the SA and Botswana Cement segment,
including admin and other operating expenses of the PPC Ltd and other segment. On this basis, total costs
reduced by 2,8%.

EBITDA increased 22% to R837 million (FY24: R684 million) as margins expanded by 2,3 percentage points to
13,6% (FY24: 11,3%). In the first half of the financial year, EBITDA increased by 10% compared to first half
of the prior year. However, in the second half of the current financial year, EBITDA increased by 40% on
the comparable period partially due to a weaker comparable period but also as cost control was embedded
and savings started to realise due to operational efficiencies.

Strict capital allocation criteria contained overall capital expenditure to R200 million (FY24: R263 million).

During the current year, PPC Cement SA refinanced its core borrowing facilities on behalf of the
SA & Botswana group to re-establish an appropriate repayment profile and to secure improved pricing.
Gross debt of the SA & Botswana group reduced by R277 million to R502 million (FY24: R779 million) and net
leverage levels remain well below the target range of 1,3 to 1,5 times the last twelve months EBITDA of the
SA & Botswana group. Post year-end these facilities were further enhanced as disclosed in some detail in
note 34 - Events after the reporting date.

AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
Overall, revenue for the materials division decreased by 9,3% to R910 million (FY24: R1 003 million),
as volumes in the readymix and ash businesses reduced by 21,2% and 25,8% respectively.
Aggregates volumes increased by 17% compared to the prior year. The segmental EBITDA amounted to
R24 million (FY24: R43 million). This represents an improvement in operational results given that the prior
year EBITDA was enhanced by a positive once-off non-cash item of R55 million. In the current year, the second
half was significantly weaker than the first half although total annual EBITDA remains positive due to a
cost savings focus.

ZIMBABWE
PPC's operation in Zimbabwe reported a 5,5% decrease in sales volumes compared to the prior year.
In H2 FY24, imports in the country normalised and volumes in H2 FY25 recovered to almost the comparable
period levels.

While revenue for the current year decreased by 6,7% to R3 122 million (FY24: R3 346 million) profitability
improved significantly due to improvements across all cost lines - variable, fixed and administrative
costs. Against a background of volumes reducing by 5,5%, cost of sales reduced by 14,4% (R392 million) and
admin and other operating expenses reduced by R46 million. A combination of lower volumes sold and
improved in-country clinker production resulted in a lower volume of purchased clinker further improving
margins.

EBITDA increased to a record R849 million (FY24: 675 million) and EBITDA margin increased 7,0% points
to 27,2% (FY24: 20,2%).

Zimbabwe remains debt-free and had unrestricted cash holdings at 31 March 2025 of R118 million up
from R40 million at 31 March 2024. Some 94% of PPC Zimbabwe's cash is held in hard currencies.
Zimbabwe declared and paid US$13 million in dividends during the current year (FY24: US$11 million).

Capital expenditure increased to R147 million in the current year (FY24: R105 million). The driver
of the increased spend was maintenance expenditure at the Colleen Bawn integrated plant due to two
kiln stoppages in the current year, mainly to replace mill liners, compared to one short stop in the
prior year given the extended kiln shutdown in FY23.

DIVIDEND
The board approved an amendment to the distribution policy in June 2024, which has the effect of
calculating a distribution in two distinct parts being:
- a distribution in an amount that would result in the target leverage range for the SA and Botswana
group being net debt at or below 1,3x - 1,5x the SA and Botswana EBITDA, before dividends from
Zimbabwe; plus
- a distribution of an amount up to the gross dividend received by PPC from Zimbabwe.

The SA & Botswana group reported strong cash generation in the current period, including receiving
record dividends from PPC Zimbabwe. At 31 March 2025, the SA & Botswana group is net cash positive.

The board considered the five-year budgets it approved in February 2025, which included the material
capital expenditure commitment for the new integrated plant in the Western Cape (RK3). Taking all
the variables into consideration, the board has approved the continuation of a cash dividend based
on a 12-month forward-looking gearing level of 1,0 x the SA and Botswana EBITDA, excluding dividends
from Zimbabwe. The board also approved the distribution of the gross dividend received by PPC Ltd
from PPC Zimbabwe as an ordinary dividend. The board is comfortable that sufficient headroom is
maintained on the SA and Botswana facilities after taking into account the committed RK3 capital
expenditure.

Accordingly, an ordinary dividend of 17,6 cents per share has been declared, resulting in a gross
cash outlay of R274 million (FY24: ordinary dividend of R213 million). This is broken down as follows:
- a dividend of 1,9 cents per share (R30 million) from the SA and Botswana group; plus
- a dividend of 15,7 cents per share (R244 million) being the dividends received from Zimbabwe.

CASH DIVIDEND
Shareholders are advised that, based on the above, the board resolved on 6 June 2025 to declare a
gross cash dividend for the year ended 31 March 2025 of R274 million. (FY24: R213 million).
This equates to 17,6 cents per share for each of the shares in issue, subject to the applicable
tax levied in terms of the Income Tax Act (Act number 58 of 1962), as amended (dividend withholding tax).

The cash dividend has been declared from retained earnings. The dividend withholding tax is 20% and
a net cash dividend of 14,08 cents per share will be paid to those shareholders who are not exempt
from dividend withholding tax.

In accordance with the provisions of Strate, the electronic settlement and custody system used by
the JSE Limited, the relevant dates for the cash dividend are as follows:

Last day to trade "cum cash dividend" Tuesday, 24 June 2025
Shares commence trading "ex cash dividend" Wednesday, 25 June 2025
Record date Friday, 27 June 2025
Payment date Monday, 30 June 2025

Share certificates may not be dematerialised between Wednesday, 25 June and Friday, 27 June 2025,
both days inclusive.

Payments for certificated shareholders will be transferred electronically to their bank accounts on
the payment date. Shareholders who hold dematerialised shares will have their accounts at their CSDP
or stockbroker credited on Monday, 30 June 2025.

Taking into account the dividends received by the subsidiary that repurchased PPC Ltd shares in FY24,
the net cash outlay is R264 million.

The company's income tax reference number is 9460015606. The company has 1,553,764,624 shares in
issue as at the date of the declaration of the cash dividend.

In compliance with the Companies Act, the directors confirm and have resolved that the company will
satisfy the solvency and liquidity tests immediately after the payment of the cash dividend.

STRATEGIC UPDATE
As explained previously, the "Awaken the Giant" strategy includes the addressing and fixing of
identified gaps, the turnaround plan itself and the continued strategic focus on value accretive
opportunities. Together, these are fundamental to our goal of improving competitiveness and ensuring
sustainable growth.

Addressing and fixing the gaps identified was the initial priority and is well advanced. While this
challenge was considerable, the sense of urgency to change the organisational core and refocus our
people has been tremendously impactful. The specific initiatives to close the gaps included
appointing key strategic expertise, simplifying the previous complex structure, the realignment of
the corporate culture and rebuilding data quality and reliability. After months of development,
detailed management information, specifically pertaining to costing and revenue generation, is
now available for decision making. These cultural changes require ongoing energy and focus to remain
entrenched and are key to the effective implementation of the rest of the turnaround strategy.

The turnaround plan itself is centred on eight focus areas, which are grouped into four key performance
areas namely: the operations and supply chain functions, the commercial area, a "less is more"
approach and finally a cost discipline mindset. The current year's results delivered a step change
ahead of expectations, and are mainly driven by those initiatives that could be implemented relatively
quickly. These are within the "cost discipline mindset" and "less is more" key performance areas, and
the early stages of the operational improvements. While progress has been made with insourcing logistics
and has yielded some benefits in the current year, incremental change will now come from the longer
lead time initiatives which include a new commercial division, continued logistics changes and the
delivery of operational efficiencies through the plant performance improvement plan. Although there
is an execution challenge in delivering these plans, we have the discipline, as well as a committed
team, to deliver the goals and objectives.

Finally, in line with PPC's continued strategic focus on value accretive opportunities, the development
of a best-in-class integrated cement plant in the Western Cape was announced on 16 January 2025.
This strategic initiative will secure PPC's cost competitiveness and low carbon cement leadership in
the years ahead. The material reduction in variable costs due to the advanced technology being introduced,
and lower fixed costs, as well as efficiencies stemming from a single site operation, will ensure the
plant is far more value accretive, when compared to our existing plants in the Western Cape.
Importantly, this will be achieved without relying on market growth. The real benefit of this project
is expected to start materialising in FY28. We have also intensified our decarbonisation plan,
implementing a series of renewable energy projects including embedded solar, wheeling solar, wind
power and battery storage.

The cement industry landscape is changing in terms of market players, global and local competitors and
expansion strategies. One thing that is common is the increased competition from new plants and advanced
technology. This will change the market dynamics and the existing producer's position in the
medium-term. PPC's competitiveness strategy is built to better position PPC in an evolving market.
It is a comprehensive strategy designed to enable short-term value growth, while the foundations for
long-term sustainable value creation are built.

OUTLOOK
PPC's view of the macro-economic environment remains positive. We believe that there will be steady
and slow improvements in the environment in the coming years. However, PPC's long-term sustainability
does not rely on an improved overall economic environment. Our focus will continue, as demonstrated in
the FY25 results recovery, to be on unlocking internal value. Ultimately, our competitiveness strategy
will position PPC even better once infrastructure projects begin to materialise.

The PPC group remains committed to building a successful local cement industry. This means accountability
to ensure that South African consumers receive quality products. Constructive dialogue, and more importantly,
action from producers and public regulators is needed to safeguard the industry and public safety.

During the year under review, PPC's strategy was defined and implementation started. We have set a
new direction for sustainable growth and value creation for the short, medium and long term. Underpinning
our strategy are clear financial metrics, namely, consistent growth in the EBITDA margin and return
on invested capital (ROIC). FY25 was initially "year zero" of our turnaround strategy, but the combined
effect of closing the gaps and accelerating the turnaround has delivered substantial results ahead of
schedule. Notwithstanding the significant margin and cash flow improvements in the current year,
opportunities remain to unlock additional value. Incremental improvements are anticipated in the
financial years FY26 and FY27 from the turnaround efforts.

While these will include further cost savings, the longer lead time changes to:
- the commercial function, focused on maximising contribution margin;
- the operations and supply chain functions, especially in relation to logistics and the plant
performance improvement plan,

will be the main drivers of further financial improvements.

The next step change in financial performance is envisaged in FY28 after the new integrated plant in
the Western Cape (RK3) becomes operational. Supported by a strong balance sheet, the construction of
RK3,entailing a spend of R3 billion over two years, will commence in FY26.

Trading Statement for the Year ended 31 March 2025

(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC
ZSE code: PPC
("PPC" or "the group")

TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

PPC is currently finalising its results for the year ended 31 March 2025 ("the current period").
Shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
expected earnings per share ("EPS") and headline earning per share ("HEPS") for continuing operations
in the current period will differ by at least 20% from that of the previous corresponding period, being the
year ended 31 March 2024 ("the prior period"). Accordingly, a trading statement is required in terms of the
JSE Limited Listings Requirements.


The following EPS and HEPS for the continuing operations of the group are expected:

Current period Prior period

Expectation range


Continuing operations EPS (cents) 31.00 to 32.15 6
Continuing operations HEPS (cents) 37.30 to 41.00 19


The main driver of the significant increase in both EPS and HEPS is management's continued focus on
the execution of the turnaround plan announced in both its half-year results on 18 November 2024 and in
its operational update on 3 March 2025. The improvement in the results is primarily due to improved cost
control in the current period and the commencement of savings due to operational efficiencies. This
resulted in cost of goods sold decreasing in absolute terms across all the operational segments.
Administrative and other operating expenses were also strictly controlled and, again, reduced across all
the segments compared to the prior period.


The financial information on which this trading statement is based is the responsibility of the directors of
PPC and has not been reviewed or reported on by the group's independent external auditor. Full details of
the groups' performance will be contained in the group's audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2025, which are expected to be released on or about 9 June 2025.

PPC’s Board of Directors Approves Construction of New Integrated Cement Plant in the Western Cape

PPC Ltd
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC
("PPC")

PPC's board of directors approves construction of new R3 billion best-in-class integrated cement plant
in the Western Cape

Shareholders are referred to the press release published on SENS on 16 January 2025, in which it was
announced that, subject to satisfactory feasibility studies and the approval by PPC's board of directors
("board"), PPC would embark on the construction of a new state-of-the-art integrated cement plant, which
would commence in the second quarter of 2025 and would be commissioned by the end of calendar year
2026.

Shareholders are advised that the board, having considered PPC's capital allocation criteria and its current
two times net debt to EBITDA covenant, has now approved the capital expenditure of R3 billion for the
build of the new plant. The plant, with a capacity of 1,5 million tons of cement per annum, will replace
and increase existing capacity and will be constructed at an existing PPC site in the Western Cape, which
has all the necessary permits in place. PPC's existing plants in the Western Cape will continue to operate
during the construction and commissioning of the new plant.

The board has also approved that PPC enter into an engineer, procure and construct ("EPC") contract with
Sinoma Overseas Development Company Ltd ("Sinoma"), the leading cement equipment and engineering
company in the world, in respect of the construction of the plant. As anticipated, Sinoma will commence
its work under the EPC contract in the second quarter of calendar year 2025.

PPC will be presenting its capital markets day presentation on an investor call today at 09h00 (SA time)
via a webcast including a live question and answer session. The investor call can be accessed at the

OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE TEN MONTHS ENDED 31 JANUARY 2025

STRATEGIC UPDATE

Following the appointment of Matias Cardarelli as CEO and changes to the executive leadership team
just over a year ago, PPC embarked on a transformative journey to reposition the group for sustainable
profitability and long-term growth.

The Awaken the Giant turnaround plan was developed to execute on the opportunities identified to
improve the performance of the group while scoping strategic opportunities. The first key steps
implemented, included key strategic personnel changes, the simplification of the previously complex
organisational structure, and the realignment of the organisational culture to ensure the appropriate
results orientated focus, cost discipline and a sense of urgency.

Results of the turnaround plan were evident in PPC's half-year performance reported on 18 November
2024 and have continued into the second half of the financial year as the plan gains momentum. In
the key areas of commercial, operations and supply chain, the initiatives under implementation are
already showing results, namely plant sourcing optimisation, sales product mix enhancement,
improved thermal energy costs and logistics management. These result in the EBITDA margin and
cashflow generation increase.

For ease of comparison, all the numbers in this operational update exclude CIMERWA, as CIMERWA's
results in the prior financial year, to the date of deconsolidation, were shown as discontinued
operations.
GROUP PERFORMANCE

The key performance metric improvements for the group are depicted below.

FY25 vs FY24 10 mnths
Jan '25 1

Revenue -3%
EBITDA 20%
EBITDA margin +3,2 pp

1
Changes compared to 10 months ended January 2024 ("the comparable period")

The decrease in group revenue for the 10 months ended 31 January 2025 ("the current period") was
driven mainly by a decline in the revenue in PPC's Zimbabwe operations while the South Africa &
Botswana group delivered a flat performance.

Group EBITDA margins improved to 16.6% in the current period from 13.4% in the comparable period.
This resulted in a 20% increase in total group EBITDA. The increase in both absolute EBITDA and
EBITDA margins is due to all business units improving their results mainly as a consequence of the
turnaround plan.

Capital expenditure for the group is expected to come in slightly below the guidance of R400 – R450
million for the full financial year. Some optimisation capital expenditure is being re-assessed while
maintenance expenditure was as planned.

As the stringent focus on costs and working capital take effect, the South Africa & Botswana group's
free cashflow, being net cash inflow before financing activities excluding dividends from Zimbabwe,
increased by a substantial 90% to R692 million in the current period from R364 million in the
comparable period. As at 31 January 2025, the SA & Botswana group was in a net cash position of
R106 million. PPC Zimbabwe continues to remain debt free and held US$13 million in unencumbered
cash at 31 January 2025.

PPC Zimbabwe also increased its free cashflow generation leading to an increase in total dividends
declared and paid of US$13 million year-to-date compared to the US$11 million paid in the
comparable period.

SOUTH AFRICA & BOTSWANA CEMENT

In the current period, overall sales volumes in South Africa & Botswana decreased by 1% relative to
the comparable period. The decline comes from lower Botswana sales volumes, since the sales
volumes in South Africa during the current period were at much the same level as the comparable
period. Price increases were implemented in July 2024 and offset the decline in volumes with revenue
increasing by 2% in the current period.
EBITDA increased 32% resulting in significant margin expansion to 14.8% in the current period from
11.4% in the comparable period. This is also an increase from the margin of 13.7% at the half year.
While most of the operational improvements are yet to materialise, the margin increase reflects the
impact of the early delivery of a reduction in general and administrative expenses and a contribution
margin increase.

MATERIALS

The materials business comprises three distinctly different businesses, namely readymix concrete,
aggregates and fly ash. EBITDA for the entire materials business improved significantly from the loss
in the comparable period.

ZIMBABWE

Volumes declined 9% in the current period, consistent with the 9% decline at the half-year. This trend
started improving in January 2025, which is positive given that both January 2024 and 2025 had the
same level of imports in the market. Revenue declined by 12% in rand terms due to the rand
strengthening in the current period compared to the comparable period.

Despite the lower revenue, the EBITDA grew by 6% relative to the comparable period and margins
grew by 4.4 percentage points from 21.6% to 26.0% due to the strict cost control measures.

OUTLOOK

As previously announced on 16 January 2025, the best-in-class integrated cement plant in the Western
Cape that will secure PPC's cost competitiveness and low carbon cement leadership, is in the final
stage ahead of seeking board approval. The plant will be built on a turnkey engineer, procure and
construct contract which will significantly de-risk any capital overruns. The material reduction in
variable costs due to technology and fixed costs due to only operating on one site makes the plant
value accretive, compared to continuing with our existing plants in the Western Cape, without relying
on market growth.

While the significant operational improvements are still gaining momentum, the improvement of the
results in the current period already reflects early delivery of the turnaround plan, ahead of the
previously advised timeline.

Following the strong cash generation in the current period, resulting in record dividends from PPC
Zimbabwe and the healthy cashflow generation in South Africa, the board will consider a dividend in
terms of its distribution policy which, amongst other things, provides for a flow through to
shareholders of any dividends received from PPC Zimbabwe.

A capital markets day is planned for 27 March 2025 to give, amongst other things, further detail on
the execution of the Awaken the Giant turnaround plan as well as progress on the new integrated
plant.

PPC signs memorandum of agreement for a new R3 billion best-in-class integrated cement plant in the
Western Cape – Press Release

PPC announced in July 2024 that it had entered into a strategic co-operation agreement with Sinoma
Overseas Development Company Ltd ("Sinoma"), in terms of which the parties agreed to partner with
each other to identify new projects and opportunities to improve efficiencies of PPC's operations.

To this end, PPC and Sinoma, the leading cement equipment and engineering company in the world, have
now entered into a memorandum of agreement for the construction of a new R3 billion state of the art
integrated cement plant. This new plant will have the ability to provide an enhanced value proposition to
both existing and new customers across the Western, Eastern and Northern Cape regions.

The 1,5 million tons of cement per annum plant, which will replace and increase existing capacity, is
planned to be constructed at one of PPC's current sites. The new plant will be equipped with the latest
technology, including a fully dedicated solar generation system. Overall, the new plant technology will
result in substantial improvements in energy efficiency, reduced coal consumption and lower emissions
per ton of cement produced. This will contribute to meaningfully lower production costs, thereby making
PPC significantly more competitive and profitable.

PPC CEO, Matias Cardarelli, said, "South Africa's cement industry is undergoing rapid change, and we are
working on building a stronger and more efficient PPC, to become the sustainable leader of the industry
in the years to come. This changing market dynamic urgently requires modern and cost-efficient assets,
and environmentally conscious cement producers. At the heart of our turnaround "Awaken the Giant"
strategy is the active pursuit of strategic opportunities and projects to ensure that we are successful in a
more competitive future market context. With this new and most advanced energy and environmentally
efficient plant in the country, we will be able to supply our customers with lower-carbon cement at a more
competitive cost. It represents a major step in the sustainability of our business moving forward and will
play a key role in achieving PPC's commitment to reduce its carbon emissions and to deliver value to
shareholders."

While the feasibility studies for the plant have reached an advanced stage, over the next three months the
parties will finalise the scope and final assessment of the new plant, as well as the associated turn-key
engineer, procure and construct ("EPC") agreements. Subject to the approval of PPC's board of directors,
it is anticipated that the construction of the new plant will start in the second quarter of 2025 and will be
commissioned by the end of calendar year 2026. The existing plants in the Western Cape will continue to
operate during the construction and commissioning process, thereby providing funding support and a
smooth transition.
Based on analyses done to date, management believes that the new plant robustly meets all PPC's capital
allocation criteria. The funding structure is being finalised, but management is of the view that the new
plant can be funded from debt facilities within PPC's current two times net debt to EBITDA covenant. This
will be assisted by cash generated by PPC's existing operations during construction and a milestone
payment structure agreed in principle with Sinoma.

Matias Cardarelli concluded, "By substituting existing capacity with a more efficient, environmentally
friendly and larger plant, we are securing PPC's competitiveness in a key market, by delivering the best
value proposition in the region to our customers. This will better position PPC for sustained profitability
for decades to come and will ensure the group's long-term future. It also represents commitment and
support of the national objective of economic growth and infrastructure development. The pursuit of this
industrial investment, which will be one of the largest in the Western Cape history, demonstrates the
continued confidence in South Africa by the PPC board and management."

PPC will be hosting an investor call today at 12h00 (SA time) via a webcast including a live question &
answer session. The investor call can be accessed at the following link:

GROUP RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024 - SHORT-FORM ANNOUNCEMENT

CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

"Awaken the Giant" is the call to action that will define our turnaround strategy. It talks to our confidence of
the impact of the internal value that can be unlocked in driving the PPC turnaround. PPC half-year results closed
with a strong second quarter rebuilding off a weaker first quarter. We have early positive and encouraging signs
in all lines of our business. As we begin to address the challenges, the benefits of the turnaround actions are
starting to be realised.

The turnaround process involves a deep recalibration and upskilling of people, organisational culture and processes.
This will ensure the organisation is ready to focus on operational efficiency, asset optimisation and contribution
margin growth. The challenging heritage and extent of the changes required are pervasive, but we have built a
high-calibre team to drive the turnaround.

We have made key changes in our structure, recruiting highly skilled and experienced talent that have strengthened our
commercial, logistics, IT and industrial teams. At the same time, we launched an industrial performance programme
with clear targets for all equipment from the quarry to dispatch, instilled cost centre ownership and eliminated
unnecessary expenses. As we gain access to reliable management information, the market approach will follow,
optimising sourcing, products offering and a footprint that will benefit our customers.

Cost discipline and price growth were the main drivers of the recovery in the results and margin of the
SA & Botswana group despite the lower sales volumes in the period. PPC Zimbabwe's lower sales reflect a return to
a normal market after imports restriction experienced in H1 FY24 was lifted in October 2023. The impact of the
normalised volumes was offset by cost saving initiatives reflecting in margin growth.

The PPC board and I are in full alignment on the Awaken the Giant journey to return PPC to profitability
leadership. The opportunities far outweigh the risks, but we are conscious of the challenges and complexity ahead
of us.

My confidence in the size of the turnaround reward is growing.

Matias Cardarelli, Chief executive officer

PPC Zimbabwe
Margin expansion despite volumes being negatively impacted by the resumption of imports
- Revenue down 11,6% to R1 541 million (H1 FY24: R1 743 million)
- EBITDA margins up 1,5% to 26,1% (H1 FY24: 24.6%)

- Net cash inflow before financing activities down R202 million (H1 FY24: R208 million)
- Dividend of US$4,0 million was declared on 6 September 2024,
and paid after 30 September 2024 (H1 FY24: US$4,0 million)

Group performance - continuing operations
PPC delivered higher cash flow generation for the six months to 30 September 2024 (the current period) compared
to the six months to 30 September 2023 (the prior period), despite an overall decline in cement volumes in both
South Africa and Zimbabwe, as well as in the readymix and ash businesses.

Group revenue decreased 4,2% to R5 067 million (H1 FY24: R5 289 million) as Zimbabwe's revenue decreased by 11,6%
due to the resumption of imports and materials revenue reduced by 9,5% due to lower revenues in the readymix
business.

Group cost of sales decreased 5,1% to R4 103 million (H1 FY24: R4 322 million), being a higher rate of decrease
than revenue, which, when combined with 6,9% decrease in administration and other operating expenses, resulted in
a 7,5% increase in trading profit to R502 million (H1 FY24: R467 million).

Group EBITDA decreased 0,6% to R796 million (H1 FY24: R800 million) but EBITDA margins expanded encouragingly in
all the markets notwithstanding the lower sales volumes. Group EBITDA margin increased by 0,6 percentage points
to 15,7% (H1 FY24: 15,1%).

No impairments were required in the current period compared to the impairment of R53 million in the prior period
relating the mothballing by PPC Cement SA of its Jupiter milling plant.

Finance costs decreased 7,8% to R59 million (H1 FY24: R64 million). Lower overall debt levels compared to the
prior year resulted in interest paid decreasing by R9 million, offset partially by higher finance costs on
increased lease liabilities. Investment income increased to R37 million (H1 FY24: R14 million) on significantly
higher cash balances following the sale of PPC's business in Rwanda.

Profit before tax increased to R474 million (H1 FY24: R357 million) and profit after tax was R318 million
(H1 FY24: R269 million). The effective tax rate for the current period is 33% (H1 FY24: 25%). The prior period
was positively impacted by a non-cash unwinding of deferred tax due to changes in the functional currency of
Zimbabwe.

Earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) both increased to 22 cents
(H1 FY24: EPS 18 cents and HEPS 20 cents).
The group's net cash inflow before financing activities increased by 36,2% to R500 million (H1 FY24: R367 million,
excluding discontinued operations) due mainly to the unwind of inventory that built up at 31 March 2024 year-end
and continued strict control of inventory levels. The positive working capital movement was partially offset by
increased cash taxes of R167 million, R20 million of which related to the FY24 financial year. Cash generation
and working capital management remains a key focus area.

Discipline in capital allocation continued in the current period and capital expenditure was R186 million
(H1 FY24: R172 million). The main drivers of the movement comprised an increase in maintenance expenditure in
Zimbabwe of R39 million due to two major kiln stoppages in the current period to replace liners, compared to one
short stop in the prior period given the extended kiln shutdown in FY23. This was partially offset by a reduction
in maintenance expenditure in the South African cement business of R21 million. Following the conclusion of the
sale of PPC's investment in Rwanda, a special dividend totalling R521 million, being 66% of the net proceeds
received, was declared and settled during the current period. The ordinary cash dividend totalling R214 million,
declared in June 2024, was also settled during the current period. The net cash outlay relating to both the
special and ordinary dividends amounted to R703 million after taking into account the dividends received by the
subsidiary that effected the share buy-back during FY24.

Group net debt declined to R203 million (H1 FY24: R488 million) but increased compared to the net cash position
of R78 million at 31 March 2024. The main drivers of the movement in net cash/debt from 31 March 2024 is a net
dividend paid of R703 million, cash generated from operations (before financing activities of R500 million) and
a negative R52 million impact exchange differences on closing cash balances.

South Africa and Botswana cement
Overall, cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana for the current period were down 5,8% when compared to
the prior period, due to a decline in retail or bagged cement sales as bulk cement sales increased. While retail
demand is relatively flat period-on-period, aggressive pricing from some competitors drove the lower sales volumes.
The benefit of the positive sentiment following the elections earlier this year is still not reflected in the
construction market, but PPC has secured new projects with associated growth in several regions of the bulk
market.

Notwithstanding declining volumes, average selling price increases resulted in cement revenues being almost flat.
Overall, including clinker sales, the SA & Botswana group revenue increased by 1,5% to R3 015 million
(H1 FY24: R2 972 million) for the six months ended 30 September 2024.

Despite the cost inflation and continued high electricity tariff increases during the period, cost of sales
increased by 1,4% assisted by the impact on variable costs of the volume decrease and initial benefits from the
turnaround actions.

Due to changes in the methodology used by PPC Group Services (Group Services) to charge management fees to the
other group companies in the current period versus the prior period and the fact that, with effect 1 October 2024,
all the activities undertaken by and employees of Group Services were taken over by PPC Cement SA, it is more
meaningful to re-present the relevant segmental information to be on a like-for-like basis and in-line with
future practice.

Based on the re-presented information, administration and other operating expenses decreased by 14,8% to
R283 million (H1 FY24: R333 million) as cost discipline builds momentum. EBITDA increased 3,9% to
R392 million (H1 FY24: R377 million) as margins expanded by 0,4 percentage points to 12,3% (H1 FY24: 11,9%).

During the current period PPC Cement SA refinanced its core borrowing facilities on behalf of the SA &
Botswana group to reestablish an appropriate repayment profile and to secure improved pricing. Gross debt of
the SA & Botswana group reduced by R278 million to R501 million (31 March 2024: R779 million)
(H1 FY24: R854 million) and net leverage levels remain well below the target range of 1,3 to 1,5 times last
twelve months EBITDA of the SA & Botswana group.

Aggregates, readymix and ash
Overall, revenue for the materials division decreased by 11,0% to R511 million (H1 FY24: R574 million), given
significantly lower volumes in the readymix and ash businesses. Cost control and turnaround measures delivered
positive results with all three businesses contributing positively to EBITDA. The divisional EBITDA, doubled to
R28 million (H1 FY24: R14 million).

Zimbabwe
PPC's operation in Zimbabwe reported a 9,1% decrease in sales volumes compared to the prior period when imports
were banned, which reflects the market share adjustment.

Revenue for the current period decreased by 11,6% to R1 541 million (H1 FY24: R1 743 million) comprising the
lower sales volumes, relatively flat average US$ selling prices and a strengthening rand. The lower volume of
purchased clinker, together with improved logistics costs and lower coal costs due to contract renegotiation,
more than offset the 76% electricity tariff increases implemented in November and December 2023. This resulted in
a 1,5% improvement in EBITDA margin to 26,1% (H1 FY24: 24,6%). It also partially offset the impact of the lower
revenue resulting in an EBITDA decrease of 6,3% of R402 million (H1 FY24: R429 million).

Zimbabwe remains debt-free and had unrestricted cash holdings at 30 September 2024 of R197 million up from
R40 million at 31 March 2024 (H1 FY24: R226 million). Some 97% of PPC Zimbabwe's cash is held in hard currencies.
Zimbabwe declared a US$4,0 million dividend during the current period which was paid in October 2024.

Strategic plan
In its results for the year ended 31 March 2024, PPC reported that internal gaps had been identified that needed
to be addressed with urgency to realise the significant opportunities in the business. During step one of the
process, which was largely completed in the current period, PPC implemented key strategic personnel changes,
simplified the previously complex organisation structure, concluded a deep-dive process and developed the Awaken
the Giant turnaround strategy.

The realigning of the organisational culture to have the right focus and a sense of urgency is progressing
demonstrated by the positive impact of cost discipline on the first half results. Training, seasoned managers and
upgraded processes are driving the upskilling in technical areas and the development of key leadership skills.

Step two is implementation of the Awaken the Giant turnaround plan, which comprises eight key focus 'commandments',
covering the following three pillars:
- Operations and supply chain - operational efficiencies and competitive costs of production
- Commercial - an enhanced commercial footprint: right channels with the right products
- Cost mindset - a lean agile structure focused on manpower costs, general and administration expenses and
rigorous capital expenditure control
This is underpinned by safety as the core central value. The key financial metrics that will reflect success are
absolute EBITDA; EBITDA margin; cash flow generation; and return on invested capital.

Simplification and back-to-basics in our plants coupled with the performance programme will drive productivity
and the output needed to support the commercial growth strategy. The go-to-market strategy aims to win back
customers by reinstating a more competitive offer through leveraging our competitive advantages. The logistics
area is also critical, and this function will be in-housed in Q4 FY25.

As part of the operational efficiency pillar, PPC signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sinoma Overseas
Development Co. Ltd, the leading cement equipment and engineering company in the world to improve efficiencies at
our cement operations and review key capital expenditure improvement/expansion plans.

The "turnaround mindset" is becoming entrenched resulting in an organisation focused on execution and pace rather
than perfection.

Outlook
There are positive signs in the economy reflecting increasing confidence from the private sector and a more dynamic
tender process in the public sector.

Now is the time for industry players, regulators, customers, suppliers and the government to unite and take
decisive action on important infrastructure projects. This collaboration will help secure a prosperous and
sustainable future for the cement industry, the country and generations to come.

To build a successful local cement industry, it's essential to establish checks and balances to hold all producers
-both local and international - accountable. This is critical to ensure that local consumers receive high-quality
products from cement producers and blenders.

Collaboration between the private and public sectors will be crucial in the non-fossil energy fuels transition.
This will help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, protecting the environment for both current and future
generations, while also lowering production costs.

PPC's long-term sustainability does not solely rely on an improved overall economic environment. Instead, our
turnaround strategy, which focuses on unlocking internal value, will place us in a strong position as
infrastructure projects begin to materialise.

The turnaround impact will continue to unfold in the second half of the financial year that is cyclically weaker
due to the slowdown of the construction sector in December and January. Further turnaround impacts are expected
to become evident in the next financial year.

The group will continue to apply its strict capital allocation policy and will assess a dividend to shareholders
in terms of the stated policy at the full year-end.

Trading Statement for the Six Months ended 30 September 2024

TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

PPC is currently finalising its results for the six months ended 30 September 2024 ("the current period").

Shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
expected earnings per share ("EPS") and headline earning per share ("HEPS") for the group in the current
period will not differ by more than 20% from that for the previous corresponding period, being the six months
ended 30 September 2023 ("the prior period"). However, the prior period results will be re-presented to
disclose discontinued operations (CIMERWA in Rwanda) separately from continuing operations and
accordingly, a voluntary trading statement is being issued regarding the EPS and HEPS of the continuing
operations.

The following EPS and HEPS for the continuing operations are expected:

Current period Prior period

Expectation range Re-presented*


Continuing operations EPS (cents) 20.0 to 23.5 18
Continuing operations HEPS (cents) 20.0 to 23.5 20

* The prior period figures have been re-presented to disclose discontinued operations separately

Based on the above, EPS is expected to be between 11% and 31% higher than the prior period and HEPS
is expected to be between 0% and 18% higher than the prior period.

The improvement in EPS primarily due to an overall reduction in the group's administration and other
operating expenditure in the SA and Botswana group, which partially offset the weaker performance in
Zimbabwe, increased investment income due to higher average cash balances in the current period and a
non-recurrence of a pre-tax R53 million impairment in the prior period. The aforementioned were partially
offset by a higher tax charge with the effective tax rate at some 33% (prior period: 25%)

The financial information on which this trading statement is based is the responsibility of the directors of
PPC and has not been reviewed or reported on by the group's independent external auditor. Full details of
the group's performance will be contained in the group's unaudited consolidated financial statements for
the six months ended 30 September 2024, which are expected to be released on or about 18 November
2024.

Operating Update for the Four Months ended 31 July 2024

(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049

("PPC" or "company" or "group")

OPERATING UPDATE FOR THE FOUR MONTHS ENDED 31 JULY 2024

GROUP OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

The PPC group comprises the South Africa ("SA") and Botswana group, which includes cement, materials and
group services, and Zimbabwe. Following the stabilisation of the balance sheet and the sale of non-strategic assets
in prior years, PPC recently started the challenging process of improving profitability and returns on the group's
assets. The turnaround intervention that has commenced is focused on people, organisational culture, processes,
as well as industrial and supply chain optimisation, to enhance the competitive position of the group in its various
markets. The positive effects of these efforts are expected to become evident in the next financial year.

For the four months ended July 2024 (the "current period") compared to the four months ended July 2023 (the
"comparable period"), group revenue declined 2.1%. Revenue in the SA and Botswana group declined 1.0% and
revenue in Zimbabwe decreased 4.5%.

Zimbabwe contributed 30% to group revenue in the current period compared to the 33% contribution for the
twelve months ended 31 March 2024 ("FY2024"). Cement remains the core business of PPC, contributing 90% of
revenue for the current period while materials contributed the remaining 10%. This remains in line with the
comparable period.

Average cement selling prices increased across the group while cement sales volumes (including Zimbabwe) for
the current period were 5.3% lower than the comparable period. Albeit its much smaller impact on the overall
group, pricing also increased across all three materials businesses but was offset by declines in volumes in the
readymix and ash businesses.

EBITDA margin for the group declined from 15.9% in the comparable period to 13.7% in the current period, with
the comparable period margin positively impacted by the market tailwinds experienced in the first quarter of the
prior year.

Notwithstanding the absolute reduction in EBITDA, net cash generation by the SA and Botswana group, before
financing activities and excluding dividends received from PPC Zimbabwe, improved from R129 million to R192
million. The biggest single contributor was the improvement in working capital mainly in inventory levels.

During the current period an ordinary dividend totalling R213 million was declared and paid. Gross cash balances
for the group increased from R897 million at 31 March 2024 to R969 million at 31 July 2024. Total group debt
remained unchanged since 31 March 2024 at R775 million.

A special dividend totalling R521 million was declared on 28 August 2024 and was settled on 23 September 2024.
No dividend was received from PPC's operations in Zimbabwe in the current period (comparable period: US$4
million), but a dividend of US$4 million was declared by PPC Zimbabwe on 6 September 2023.
SOUTH AFRICA & BOTSWANA CEMENT

Cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana decreased by 4.6% in the current period compared to the
comparable period. The average selling price in South Africa increased by 5.5% during the current period, which
enabled revenue for SA & Botswana cement to grow by 1.6%.

However, notwithstanding variable cost per tonne being almost flat period-on-period, EBITDA for the period
decreased by 10.4% as fixed costs increased by more than inflation. EBITDA margin decreased from 11.6% in the
prior period to 10.3% in the current period. The South African cement business is the key focus area of the
turnaround actions.

MATERIALS

Volumes in the readymix business continued to decline but cost control actions across both fixed and variable
costs resulted in the materials businesses EBITDA being marginally positive in the current period compared to
marginally negative in the comparable period.

ZIMBABWE

PPC Zimbabwe's cement sales volumes were down 10.9% during the current period when compared to the prior
period. In response to significant increases in electricity tariffs, an average US$ price increase of 4% was
implemented in January 2024, which contained the revenue decrease in rands terms to 4.5%. Despite ongoing
input price pressures, PPC Zimbabwe's EBITDA margin was well managed reducing marginally to 29.0%
compared to 29.8% in the prior period. There were no planned maintenance shutdowns in either the
comparable or the current period. These planned shutdowns occurred subsequently in August 2023 and
August/September 2024 respectively. These shutdowns have an impact on EBITDA margin.

No dividends were declared in the current period compared to US$4 million declared in July 2023. However, a
US$4 million dividend was declared in September 2024.

OUTLOOK

Although interest rates in South Africa have begun to decline and local sentiment is improving, there is still no
clear evidence of large-scale infrastructure or retail developments. Consequently, the overall outlook for the SA
and Botswana group remains subdued. PPC continues to focus its efforts on the turnaround of its cement
businesses to improve profitability and cash generation. Guidance on the size and timing of realising opportunities
will be included in the presentation of the group's performance for the six months ended 30 September 2024,
which is expected to be released on or about 18 November 2024.

In Zimbabwe, imports continue to increase contributing to the reduced volumes of PPC Zimbabwe. Cost
containment has been a focus and will continue. This, together with turnaround initiatives, is expected to have
positive impact on the PPC Zimbabwe earnings.

DECLARATION OF SPECIAL CASH DIVIDEND

Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement published on 25 July 2024 regarding the
finalisation of the disposal by the Company of its 51% interest in CIMERWA Plc and are advised that
the board of directors of the Company ("Board") has resolved to declare a special cash dividend,
payable in this second quarter of FY2025, from income reserves of 33.5 cents per PPC ordinary share
("PPC shares"), amounting to R521 million, being 66% of the cash retained by PPC International
Holding Proprietary Limited from the sale of CIMERWA ("Special Dividend"). Taking into account the
Special Dividend that will be received by the PPC subsidiary that repurchased PPC shares in the 2024
financial year, the net cash outlay pursuant to the Special Dividend amounts to R500 million.

The Special Dividend has been approved by the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African
Reserve Bank as required in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited.

The gross Special Dividend of 33.5 cents per share from income reserves will be subject to dividend
withholding tax at a rate of 20%. Consequently, a net Special Dividend of 26.8 cents per PPC share
will be distributed to those shareholders who are not exempt from paying dividend tax.

In accordance with the provisions of Strate, the electronic settlement and custody system used by the
JSE Limited, the relevant dates for the Special Dividend are as follows:

2024
Last day to trade "cum Special Dividend" Tuesday, 17 September
First trading day "ex Special Dividend" Wednesday, 18 September
Record date Friday, 20 September
Payment date Monday, 23 September


Those shareholders of the Company who are recorded in the Company's register as at the record date
will be entitled to the Special Dividend.

No share certificates may be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 18 September
2024, and Friday, 20 September 2024, both days inclusive.
Payments for certificated shareholders will be transferred electronically to their bank accounts on the
payment date. Shareholders who hold dematerialised shares will have their accounts at their CSDP or
stockbroker credited on Monday, 23 September 2024.

The Company's income tax reference number is 9460015606. The company has 1 553 764 624 PPC
shares in issue at the date of declaration of the Special Dividend.

In compliance with the Companies Act, the Board confirms and has resolved that the Company will
satisfy the solvency and liquidity test immediately after the payment of the Special Dividend.

Short-form announcement
Annual and summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024

Matias Cardarelli, CEO, said:
"The group has faced sustained underperformance and decreasing profitability over a number of years and as
I reflect on my time at PPC over the past seven months, the comprehensive review of the business revealed
internal gaps that are also clear opportunities.

As we look to unlock internal value and drive profitability, the new Exco and I have had to challenge past
assumptions and leadership decision-making practices. Our problems are pressing, and it is clear that a
meaningful organisational reset and tough decisions are necessary for PPC's sustainable future.

Where we are failing, where we are missing opportunities and what our strengths are, were some of the
questions posed in the design of the turnaround fundamentals. Through a "back to basics" approach and
an appropriate focus on operational efficiency, we are looking into our commercial footprint, internal
business intelligence data and reliability, logistics model, organisational structure and cost and
capital expenditure discipline.

We need to rely on a strong set of values: integrity, sense of urgency, safety, agility and cost
consciousness - values that speak to our aspirations. Moreover, we want to outline behaviours that demonstrate
these values in a 'walk-the-talk' approach.

By refocusing the organisation on its core business, fostering a no-nonsense, get-things-done approach, and
implementing agility in decision-making processes, I am confident that we can overcome the challenges ahead."

SNAPSHOT OF PERFORMANCE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
- Revenue up 20,6% to R10 058 million (FY23: R8 339 million)
- EBITDA up 38,6% to R1 242 million (FY23: R896 million)
- EBITDA margin up 1,6% points to 12,3% (FY23: 10,7%)
- Free cash flow before financing activities and excluding disposal proceeds
from sale of CIMERWA, free cash flow of R260 million (FY23: R124 million)
- Ordinary dividend of 13,7 cents per share
- HEPS of 19,0 cents (FY23: loss of 20,0 cents)
- EPS of 6,0 cents (FY23: loss of 21,0 cents)

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Group revenue for the current year rose 20,6% to R10 058 million (FY23: R8 339 million) driven primarily by
a strong performance in PPC's Zimbabwean operation.

The SA and Botswana group cement revenues increased only marginally by 5,2%, driven by price increases and
increased sales of clinker to Zimbabwe, which positively offset the declining cement sales volumes. Revenue
from the materials businesses declined by 6,0% relative to the prior year.

Group cost of sales increased 16,3% to R8 409 million (FY23: R7 231 million). All of the increase in cost
of sales is attributable to Zimbabwe, with the SA and Botswana group's cost of sales declining marginally
by 1,3% (R73 million), driven by lower sales volumes. Group administration and other operating expenditure
increased by 5,5%. Group EBITDA margin therefore improved to 12,3% (FY23:10,7%).

Accordingly, trading profit increased by R502 million to R619 million (FY23: R117 million). Of the R502 million
increase, R395 million was attributable to Zimbabwe.

Depreciation for the group decreased by R155 million to R623 million (FY23: R778 million). The most material
contributors to the decrease were PPC Zimbabwe and SA and Botswana cement. Due to the change in the functional
currency for PPC Zimbabwe from the ZWL to the United States dollars (US$), hyperinflation accounting is no
longer applicable, which resulted in a decrease in property, plant and equipment and an associated decrease in
depreciation by R86 million. SA and Botswana cement also had a decrease in depreciation of R57 million, mainly
due to the extension of useful lives of certain of the assets.

Given the movements in trading profit and depreciation, group EBITDA increased 38,6% to R1 242 million
(FY23: R896 million).

The "fair value and foreign exchange gains movements" changed from a gain of R55 million FY23 to a charge of
R30 million in the current year. In the prior year, US$ debtors were remeasured into ZWL creating significant
exchange gains. This is no longer applicable given the change in functional currency.

The prior year net monetary loss arising from hyperinflation accounting for PPC Zimbabwe of R131 million is no
longer applicable in the current year.

In the prior year, the credit risk adjustment on the intrinsic value of the blocked funds was taken to 100%
resulting in a fair value loss of R32 million. Accordingly, the current period fair value loss is nil.

A significant increase in impairments to R267 million (FY23: R61 million) in the current year relate primarily to
property, plant and equipment as muted market volumes are expected to persist and there is a need for capacity and
cost optimisation going forward. Consequently, it was decided to mothball the Jupiter milling plant (impairment of
R56 million) and Slurry and Dwaalboom swing kilns (impairment of R125 million), although all these assets remain
readily available for re-commissioning should volume demand be there. Given the muted demand experienced by the
aggregates business, which is not expected to change materially in the future, an impairment of R70 million was
taken on the aggregates assets. The prior year impairment related primarily to impairments in the readymix business.

Finance costs increased marginally to R131 million (FY23: R123 million). Although SA and Botswana debt levels were
lower in the current year, interest rate increases resulted in interest paid on borrowing increasing by R6 million.
In addition, a higher level of capitalised leases resulted in an increase in this interest charge of R6 million.
The balance relates to time value of money adjustments of rehabilitation and decommissioning provisions.

Investment income increased to R42 million (FY23: R26 million) on higher cash balances earning a higher interest
rate in South Africa.

During the prior period the group realised a R23 million profit on the disposal of its equity accounted investment
in Habesha, Ethiopia.

Profit before tax increased to R233 million (FY23: loss of R126 million) and profit after tax was R88 million
(FY23: loss of R328 million). In the current year, the effective tax rate was some 62,8%. The three largest
contributors to the effective rate are:
- During the current year, PPC Ltd received dividends from Zimbabwe and RSA Holdings (for purposes of the share
buyback) all of which are non-taxable. This had the effect of increasing the proportion of non -taxable vs taxable
income to 62% (FY23: 40%) resulting in 62% of all expenditure in the holding company not being tax deductible.

In PPC International Holdings, once-off costs related to the disposal of CIMERWA were also not deductible.

Collectively, the above contributed to a 13,4% increase in the effective tax rate.
- Withholding taxes paid on dividends and management fees received mainly from Zimbabwe and Botswana further
increased the effective rate by 10,2%.
- In the 2024 budget, Zimbabwe announced an increase in the corporate tax rate from 24,72% to 25,75%.
The effective date for the change for PPC Zimbabwe is 1 April 2024 and the remeasurement of the deferred tax
liability resulted in a 7,2% increase in tax rate.

The headline earnings per share (HEPS) and earnings per share (EPS) of the continuing operations increased respectively
to 19 cents (FY23: loss of 20 cents) and 6 cents (FY23: loss of 21 cents). The HEPS of the discontinued operations was
8 cents (FY23: 11 cents).

The group's net cash flow before financing activities from continuing operations, and excluding the proceeds received
from the sale of CIMERWA, increased to R260 million (FY23: R124 million).

Total group capital expenditure for the year increased to R400 million (FY23: R368 million). This is some R35 million
below the capital expenditure guidance of R435 million (excluding the Rwandan operation guidance of some R165 million).
The share repurchase programme of R200 million, approved by the board in June 2023, was completed on 13 March 2024.
The total number of shares repurchased were 64,6 million at an average price of R3,08 per share.

The SA and Botswana group bank debt decreased to R779 million (FY23: R930 million) largely due to the scheduled
repayment of R150 million on the amortising term loan. Of the R857 million group cash holdings by continuing operations
(FY23: R264 million), R780 million is held by the SA and Botswana group. PPC International Holdings (PPCIH) received
US$42,5 million from the sale of its stake in CIMERWA. At year-end, R783 million had been lent to the SA and
Botswana group.

Zimbabwe remains debt-free and had unrestricted cash holdings at 31 March 2024 of R40 million (FY23: R118 million).
Approximately 80% of PPC Zimbabwe's cash is held in hard currencies.

Zimbabwe declared and paid a US$4 million dividend in H1 FY24 (H1 FY23: US$5 million) and a US$7 million
dividend in H2: FY24 (H2: FY23 US$5 million) bringing the total dividends paid during the year to US$11 million
(FY23: US$10 million). PPC's share of the dividend (before withholding taxes) amounted to R203 million
(FY23: R155 million).

PPC has amended its SA and Botswana group leverage objective from gross debt to net debt to EBITDA of 1,3 - 1,5 times.

SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT
Cement sales volumes in SA and Botswana were down 5,8% when compared to the prior year (FY23: negative 4,6%),
reflecting lower volumes across our key markets in South Africa while Botswana's volumes were flat. Competition remains
stronger in the inland region where sales volumes have reduced especially since January 2024. Coastal volumes have
dropped at a higher rate than inland due to demand.

While the construction sector in the coastal region continues to be depressed, the main driver of the volume decreases
in this region was in the retail sector, impacted by low demand and aggressive price competition, especially in the
last quarter of the financial year.

Clinker sales from inland to Zimbabwe have more than doubled in the current year supplementing the revenue increase in
SA and Botswana cement business.

PPC continued to increase its cement selling prices on a bi-annual basis and achieved an average selling price increase
of 9,7% when compared to the prior year (FY23: 8,0%). Clinker sales, however, was the main driver of the SA and Botswana
cement revenue increase of 5,2% to R6 080 million (FY23: R5 782 million) given the 5,8% decline in cement volumes.
PPC remains vulnerable to high input cost inflation and local logistics and power challenges, penalising the production
cost per ton. Against the backdrop of a 4,2% decline in overall volumes (cement and clinker), total costs increased by
3,2%, with fixed costs increasing by 2,9%, ameliorated by reduced depreciation and the absorption of fixed costs in
inventory build-up during the current year.

EBITDA increased 1,5% to R684 million (FY23: R674 million) with a margin of 11,3% (FY23: 11,7%) as price increases were
not sufficient to offset cost increases. Key turnaround initiatives are to focus on contribution margin per customer,
operational efficiencies to contain variable costs and absolute fixed costs/administration costs reduction.

AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
Readymix volumes decreased by 18,2%, and aggregates volumes decreased by 8,8% compared to the prior year. Fly ash
sales volumes increased by 7,2%. Overall, revenue for the materials division decreased by 6,0% to R1 031 million
(FY23: R1 097 million), due to the largest contributor, readymix, continuing to experience a significant reduction in
demand offset in part by an increase in the average selling price. The divisional EBITDA increased to R43 million,
but this was shielded by a positive once-off non-cash item of R55 million being the installation of a new conveyor
belt and offloading station by a third party as part of its rehabilitation obligations under the original sale and
purchase agreement. Excluding this once-off item, the materials division EBITDA for FY24 would have been a negative
R12 million (FY23: negative R65 million) mainly reflecting an improvement in the readymix division.

ZIMBABWE
PPC's operation in Zimbabwe delivered a strong recovery in the current year albeit off a low base following the
extended maintenance shutdown of the kiln in the first half of the prior year. Zimbabwe won back the market share
it had lost with demand across both residential construction and government funded infrastructure projects.

Cement sales volumes increased 36,6% when compared to the prior year (FY23: down 15,8%) although growth has softened
as the effect of the stronger base in the H2 FY23 starts coming through.

Revenue for the year increased by 90,9% in rand terms to R3 346 million (FY23: R1 753 million) on strong cement volumes
and price increases. The full year impact of the 5% selling price increase that was effected in August 2022 (prior year)
and the 4% sales price increase effected in January 2024 also contributed to the revenue increase. EBITDA margins reduced
marginally to 20,2% (FY23: 20,8%) for the full year, but significantly off the half year margins of 24,6% due to high
electricity costs resulting from a gradual tariff increase of ~76% from October 2023. Clinker purchases also continued in
H2 FY24 and the full cost of purchased clinker was 169% higher than the prior year.

Dividends of US$11 million were paid during the year (FY23: US$10 million).

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS - RWANDA (CIMERWA)

PPC sold its 51% shareholding in CIMERWA on 25 January 2024 for a total selling price of US$42,5 million. PPC received
the full selling price and paid the capital gains tax in Rwanda of US$372 000 in February 2024. No further capital
gains tax is payable in South Africa. The approval by the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) was
anticipated within 120 days of the filing on 8 February 2024, but COMESA have requested and been granted an extension
to 12 July 2024. At the date of the disposal, the total net asset value attributable to PPC was R612 million and the
consideration received was R809 million resulting in a profit on disposal of R197 million.

DIVIDEND
Given the significant de-leveraging of the SA and Botswana group in the current year, the board has resolved to declare
an ordinary dividend to shareholders. The board has also approved an amendment to the existing distribution policy
which has the effect of calculating a distribution in two distinct parts being:

a. a distribution in an amount that would result in the target leverage range for the SA and Botswana group being
net debt at or below 1,3x - 1,5x the SA and Botswana EBITDA, before dividends from Zimbabwe; plus
b. a distribution of an amount up to the gross dividend received by PPC from Zimbabwe.

CASH DIVIDEND
Shareholders are advised that, based on the above, the board resolved on 21 June 2024 to declare a gross cash dividend
for the year ended 31 March 2024 of R213 million. (FY23: share repurchase of R200 million). This equates to 13,7 cents
per share for each of the shares in issue, subject to the applicable tax levied in terms of the Income Tax Act
(Act number 58 of 1962), as amended (dividend withholding tax).

The cash dividend has been declared from retained earnings. The dividend withholding tax is 20% and a net cash dividend
of 10,96 cents per share will be paid to those shareholders who are not exempt from dividend withholding tax.

In accordance with the provisions of Strate, the electronic settlement and custody system used by the JSE Limited, the
relevant dates for the cash dividend are as follows:

2024
Last day to trade "cum cash dividend" Tuesday, 9 July
Shares commence trading "ex cash dividend" Wednesday, 10 July
Record date Friday, 12 July
Payment date Monday, 15 July

Those shareholders of the company who are recorded in the company's register as at the record date will be entitled
to the cash dividend.

Share certificates may not be dematerialised between Wednesday, 10 July and Friday, 12 July 2024, both days inclusive.

Payments for certificated shareholders will be transferred electronically to their bank accounts or the payment date.
Shareholders who hold dematerialised shares will have their accounts at their CSDP or stockbroker credited on
Monday, 15 July 2024.

Taking into account the dividend that will be received by the subsidiary that repurchased the PPC Ltd shares in the
current financial year, the net cash outlay pursuant to the cash dividend amounts to R204 million.

The sale of CIMERWA is subject to approval (as a condition subsequent) by COMESA, which approval has not yet been
received. Prudently, the board resolved to retain the R783 million in the group until such time as approval is
received, whereupon a special dividend to shareholders will be considered.

The company's income tax reference number is 9460015606. The company has 1,553,764,624 shares in issue as at the
date of the declaration of the cash dividend.

In compliance with the Companies Act, the directors confirm and have resolved that the company will satisfy the
solvency and liquidity tests immediately after the payment of the cash dividend.

STRATEGIC PLAN AND OUTLOOK
The group has faced sustained underperformance and decreasing profitability over a number of years. A comprehensive
review of the business has identified internal gaps that are also clear opportunities.The new executive team has had
to challenge past assumptions and decision-making practices. In order to create a sustainable future for PPC, these
challenges must be addressed with a sense of urgency.

Agility in management decision-making has been hindered by the availability and accuracy of relevant data and gaps
in internal business process. The previous complex organisational structure created a silo mentality and embedded
a culture of lower accountability which was not conducive to delivering results

To unlock internal value and drive profitability, the immediate need for strategic personnel changes was identified
and implemented. In FY25, the focus will be on cost awareness throughout the organisation, robust capital expenditure
analyses and the creation of reliable internal business intelligence to support better quality decisions.

The strategic plan will focus on working capital management, a contribution margin approach, improving industrial
performance, enhancing the go-to-market and logistics operating model.

Externally, demand is anticipated to remain subdued, although there are signs of growth in some regions. To navigate
high input costs, cement companies must focus on optimising their operations for enhanced efficiency and profitability.
Industry enforcement of quality standards will be crucial for sustainability of the cement sector.

While the road to turnaround, transformation and growth may be challenging, we are committed to creating a sustainable
future for PPC. Guided by principles of integrity, urgency, safety, agility, and cost consciousness, we believe that
with a clear vision and a strong team, we can increase profitability, deliver returns to our investors, and enhance our
competitive position in the market.

Trading Statement for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

PPC Ltd
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC
ZSE code: PPC
("PPC" or "the group")

TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

PPC is currently finalising its results for the year ended 31 March 2024 ("the current period").
Shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
expected earnings per share ("EPS") and headline earning per share ("HEPS") for the current period will
differ by at least 20% from that for the previous corresponding period, being the year ended 31 March 2023
("the prior period") and that a trading statement is required in terms of the JSE Limited Listings
Requirements.

This difference is primarily due to the current period EPS and HEPS numbers being impacted by a strong
performance by PPC Zimbabwe in the current period compared to the prior period in which it had an
extended kiln shutdown. In addition, in the current period, PPC Zimbabwe changed its functional currency
from the Zimbabwean dollar to the United States dollar and this also had a positive impact given the
elimination of net monetary losses of R131 million arising in the prior period due to hyperinflation
accounting.

As reported in the operational update on 27 March 2024, due to the disposal by PPC of its 51%
shareholding in CIMERWA on 25 January 2024, CIMERWA's results for the period 1 April 2023 to 25
January 2024 will be shown as discontinued operations. The prior period comparative figures have
accordingly been represented to exclude CIMERWA's results and to disclose its results separately as
discontinued operations.

The following EPS and HEPS for the group are expected:

Current period Prior period

Expectation range Restated*

Group EPS (cents) 1 25.0 to 30.0 (43)
Group HEPS (cents) 1 27.0 to 28.5 (9)
Continuing operations EPS (cents) 1 4.0 to 8.0 (21)
Continuing operations HEPS (cents) 1 16.5 to 20.0 (20)

1 Brackets denote losses per share

* The prior period figures have been re-presented to disclose discontinued operations separately


The financial information on which this trading statement is based is the responsibility of the directors of
PPC and has not been reviewed or reported on by the group's independent external auditor. Full details of
the groups' performance will be contained in the group's audited consolidated financial statements for the
year ended 31 March 2024, which are expected to be released on or about 24 June 2024.

Operational Update for the Ten Months ended 31 January 2024

(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049

("PPC" or "the group")

OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE TEN MONTHS ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024

GROUP PERFORMANCE

Further to the announcement published on SENS on 25 January 2024 regarding the disposal by PPC
of its 51% shareholding in its Rwanda business (CIMERWA), all the numbers in this operational update
exclude CIMERWA for ease of comparison, as CIMERWA's results in the current financial year, to the
date of deconsolidation, will be shown as discontinued operations.

Group revenue increased by 27.6% for the ten-month period ended 31 January 2024 (the "current
period"), when compared to the 10 months ended 31 January 2023 (the "comparable period"). This
was driven mainly by continued strong growth in PPC's Zimbabwe operations relative to the low base
in the comparable period. This is higher than the 22.1% revenue growth to the end of September 2023
(the "half year") compared to the six months ended 30 September 2022 (the "previous half")
calculated on a consistent basis to exclude CIMERWA. Revenue growth in the South African and
Botswana cement business continued to be driven by price increases, positively offsetting the
declining sales volumes as experienced in the half year.

Group EBITDA margins improved to 13.6% in the current period from 9.9% in the comparable period.
However, this is lower than the half-year EBITDA margin (excluding CIMERWA) of 15.3%. The decrease
in margins compared to the half year is due to lower South Africa cement margins, a weak
performance in the materials business, one-off costs at a group level as well as marginally lower
EBITDA margins in the Zimbabwean operations.

Capital expenditure for the group remains behind the guidance of R600 million for the full financial
year mainly due to the delay of the fly ash project (expansion capex) in Zimbabwe. This is a timing
issue due to a delay in accessing the power plant to complete the plant design and commercial
contract. This is now expected to commence early in FY25 as opposed to FY24 thereby delaying the
benefits of this expansion project for approximately one year. The South African and Botswana free
cashflow, being net cash inflow before financing activities and excluding dividends from Zimbabwe,
increased to R364 million in the current period from R242 million in the comparable period. The share
repurchase program reached the R200 million approved level during the first half of March 2024.

Following the receipt of the proceeds from the disposal of CIMERWA, South Africa and Botswana
turned cash positive during the current period and at 31 January 2024, were in a net cash position of
R280 million. Zimbabwe continues to remain debt free and held R95 million in unencumbered cash at
31 January 2024. The Group's targeted gross leverage of 1.3 to 1.5 times the South African and
Botswana operations EBITDA (including dividends from Zimbabwe) remains unchanged.


SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT

In the current period, cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana decreased by 4% compared
to the comparable period. The decline for the first half of the year was 5%. Sales volumes in the coastal
region experienced a sharper decline than in the inland region, mainly due to a weaker retail market
and a lack of infrastructure projects in the area. Price increases implemented in July 2023 and January
2024 offset the decline in volumes with the South Africa and Botswana cement business increasing
revenue by 6% in the current period compared to 5% at the half-year. EBITDA margins increased
marginally from 10,7% to 11.4% when comparing the current period to the comparable period but are
below the 12.6% reported at the half year. The performance in the South Africa and Botswana cement
market has deteriorated since the end of the current period.


MATERIALS

The materials business comprises three distinctly different businesses, namely readymix concrete,
aggregates and fly ash. The readymix concrete business has been impacted by a lack of construction
projects in the regions in which it operates, which negatively impacted volumes. The aggregates
business realised lower volumes in the depressed localised market it serves from its two quarries. The
fly ash business continued to benefit from increased volumes due to its diverse customer base.

The materials business saw a notable improvement in negative EBITDA, shifting from a negative R60
million in the comparable period to R7 million in the current period. This change is significant
considering the positive R14 million EBITDA contribution at the half-year mark. Despite price
increases, the negative EBITDA was due to the substantial decrease in volumes across the readymix
concrete and aggregates businesses, which declined even further compared to the half-year. The fly
ash business EBITDA continued to show strong growth in the current period.


ZIMBABWE

Cement volumes continued to show strong growth, increasing 41% in the current period, albeit slightly
lower than the half-year growth of 44% due to the impact of the stronger base in the comparable
period. Growth continues to be as strong as a result of both residential construction and government
funded infrastructure projects, constrained imports and a low base in the comparable period due to
the extended shutdown.

EBITDA margins were 22% in the current period, an improvement from 18% in the comparable period
but lower than 25% at the half-year. This was mainly due to the high cost of clinker imports as local
production could not meet demand levels.

PPC Zimbabwe declared dividends of US$4 million in July 2023 and US$7million in November 2023.
The next dividend declaration is expected in July 2024.
RWANDA (CIMERWA)

PPC sold its 51% shareholding in CIMERWA on 25 January 2024 for a total selling price of US$42.5
million. PPC received the full selling price and paid capital gains tax in Rwanda of US$474 000 in
February 2024. It is anticipated that no further capital gains taxes will be payable in South Africa. The
approval by the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Competition Commission,
which was not required before implementation of the transaction, is still anticipated to be received
within 120 days of the effective date.

OUTLOOK

The short-term outlook for the South African and Botswana markets remains subdued. The short-
term outlook for PPC Zimbabwe remains positive.

The reorganised and strengthened executive committee (Exco) team announced on 18 January 2024
now has the right blend of global and local cement industry experience, institutional and technical
knowledge and a renewed energy to drive the needed improvements at PPC's operational level. The
Exco is conducting a comprehensive review to ensure that PPC is agile, well-managed and resilient in
a challenging South African macroeconomic context. The key focus areas include:

i. the optimisation of structure, processes and controls;
ii. the refocusing of the business on contribution margin through an assessment of the South
African businesses commercial footprint; and
iii. the reduction in fixed operational and overhead costs.

The above will require improvements to the internal management reporting systems to better support
its commercial and operational decision making. The board has targeted achieving a sustainable return
on capital for its South African and Botswana business in the medium-term.

PPC intends to increase engagement with regulators and other key market stakeholders as a
commitment to developing a sustainable cement industry in South Africa through creating a level
playing field among local, regional and international competitors on key issues such as imported
cement and low quality standard products.

With the South African gross debt to EBITDA ratio expected to be well below the stated optimal level,
PPC intends to continue to return cash to shareholders through dividends or the implementation of a
share repurchase program in the absence of any value enhancing corporate activity.

General Repurchase of Shares

PPC Ltd
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC
("PPC" or "the Company")

GENERAL REPURCHASE OF SHARES

At the annual general meeting of PPC held on 6 September 2023 ("AGM"), shareholders, by special
resolution, granted a general authority to the board of directors ("the Board") of the Company and its
subsidiaries ("the Group") for the Company and/or its subsidiaries to repurchase up to 10% of the issued
ordinary share capital of the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions specified in the notice of
AGM.

Shareholders are hereby advised that, during the period commencing on 6 September 2023 to 29 January
2024, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, PPC GPCO South Africa Proprietary Limited, repurchased an
aggregate of 46 612 939 ordinary shares, representing 3% of the issued ordinary share capital of the
Company as at the date on which the authority to repurchase the ordinary shares was granted. The
aforementioned ordinary shares were repurchased for an aggregate value of R143 853 790.55 (including
transaction costs), funded out of the Group's available cash resources, as follows:


Aggregate Highest price Lowest price
number of per ordinary per ordinary Aggregate value
Date of ordinary shares share share (excluding
repurchases repurchased repurchased repurchased transaction costs)

6 September
2023 to 29 46 612 939 R4.00 R2.54 R143 325 983.63
January 2024


The repurchases were made in terms of the general authority granted by shareholders at the AGM and were
effected through the order book operated by the JSE Limited trading system without any prior understanding
or arrangement between the Company or subsidiary and the counterparties. All of the requirements for the
general repurchase of ordinary shares in terms of paragraph 5.72 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements,
have been complied with.

During the prohibited period prior to publication of its financial year 2024 interim results, which were
published on 20 November 2023, the Group repurchased 10 105 498 of the Company's shares at an average
cost of R2.94 per share, totalling R29 740 122.48 (excluding transaction costs), pursuant to a repurchase
programme which was put in place prior to the commencement of the prohibited period in accordance with
the Listings Requirements.

The Group may repurchase a further 108 763 524 ordinary shares up to a total of 155 376 462 (10%) of the
ordinary shares in issue as at the date on which the authority was granted, in terms of the current general
authority, which is valid until the Company's next annual general meeting.

As at the date of this announcement, the Group held 89 347 464 ordinary shares as treasury shares, including
the repurchased shares referred to in this announcement. Treasury shares comprise 56 522 752 shares held
by a subsidiary of the Company and 32 824 712 shares held by structured entities, which are consolidated
for IFRS purposes only.

As all the shares have been repurchased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, such shares will not
be cancelled but will remain listed and held as treasury shares. As a result, the Group's cash balances
decreased by R143 853 790.55 (including transaction costs of R527 806.92) for the period from the date of
the AGM to the date of this announcement and the repurchases will have the effect of reducing the number
of shares in issue used for purposes of the earnings per share and headline earnings per share calculations
by an additional 46 612 939 shares (being the shares repurchased since the AGM to date), which will be
weighted according to the dates of the various repurchases.


OPINION OF THE BOARD

The Board has considered the effect of the repurchases and is of the opinion that, for a period of 12 months
following the date of this announcement:

• the Company and the Group will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to repay their
debts;
• the consolidated assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the consolidated
liabilities of the Company and the Group;
• the Company's and the Group's share capital and reserves will be adequate for the ordinary
business purposes of the Company and the Group; and
• the Company and the Group will have sufficient working capital for ordinary business purposes.

Changes to Executive Leadership Team - Voluntary Announcement

(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049

("PPC")

CHANGES TO EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM – VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Following the appointment of its new CEO, Matias Cardarelli, with effect from 1 December 2023, the
board of directors of PPC (Board) has approved a substantially reorganised and strengthened
Executive Committee (EXCO) in order to drive improved profitability and a sustainable return on
capital for its South African business.

The new EXCO includes several new roles aimed at enhancing operational excellence and strategic
planning. This includes the appointment of a: Chief Operations Officer (COO) to focus on increasing
efficiencies, productivity and cost reduction initiatives; a Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) who will work
closely with the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Brenda Berlin, to implement various profit improvement
initiatives, and a Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). The CRO role will be assumed by Mokate Ramafoko,
who will be responsible for creating a single revenue engine and boosting the company's top line.
Ndima Rawana will continue in his role as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) to oversee the
building of a high performing team, and Kevin Ross will join the EXCO as Chief Legal and Compliance
Officer and Company Secretary.

Consequently, PPC is pleased to announce the recruitment of two new executives, Ernesto Acosta and
Paulo Marques, who bring extensive global and South African cement industry experience. Ernesto
Acosta, who will be taking on the role of COO, has spent 25 years with global cement company,
Intercement, running different cement plants and operations in many regions and countries, most
recently as its COO in South Africa. Paulo Marques will serve as CSO, having spent almost 20 years in
various planning, control, strategy and finance positions in two international cement companies,
Cimpor and Intercement, most recently as CFO in South Africa.

PPC CEO, Matias Cardarelli, said: "This is a transformational time for us at PPC. Building the new EXCO
team is the first step in establishing the right organisational structure. At an EXCO level, I believe we
now have the right blend of global and local cement industry experience, institutional knowledge and
energy, to drive PPC's growth, improve profitability and enhance returns. Accountability, ownership,
agility and focus on results, are going to be the distinctive characteristics of the new team".

The PPC EXCO is therefore now comprised of Matias Cardarelli (CEO), Brenda Berlin (CFO), Ernesto
Acosta (COO), Paulo Marques (CSO), Mokate Ramafoko (CRO), Ndima Rawana (CHRO) and Kevin Ross
(Chief Legal Officer and Company Secretary). There are no new appointments to the Board as a
consequence of these changes.

Group Results for the Six Months ended 30 September 2023

SHORT-FORM ANNOUNCEMENT
GROUP RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

Roland van Wijnen, CEO, said:
The period under review reflects an encouraging recovery for the PPC group, albeit off a low base. A key driver is
that profitability shows improvement across our core southern African markets, despite the weak macro environment and
decline in cement volumes in South Africa. Moreover, the rolling out of the South African government's infrastructure
development plans and protection of the local cement market through the introduction of import tariffs to create a
level playing field for domestic producers, remain elusive. Increased demand is required to enable us to more
effectively utilise the capacity available in our primary market. PPC Zimbabwe saw a strong recovery across all key
metrics when compared to the negative impact of the planned shutdown in the prior comparative period. Accounting has
been simplified following the adoption of the US dollar as its functional currency. PPC Zimbabwe continues to declare
and pay dividends. Reaching an agreement to dispose of PPC’s 51% stake in CIMERWA (Rwanda) is an important step in PPC’s
strategy of focusing on its core southern African markets. PPC has repurchased R103 million worth of its own shares,
just over half the R200 million approved for this purpose at its FY23 year-end. I would like to thank the many people
who make up the PPC community, and who have been part of the PPC journey during my tenure, for their support, energy
and commitment. Also, I wish them, and my successor Matias Cardarelli, all the best for the future.

- Resilient performance in a challenging market
- Revenue, excluding dividends received, increased 2,0% to R3 546 million (H1 FY23: R3 477 million)
- SA and Botswana cement EBITDA margins increased to 12,6% (H1 FY23: 12,2%)
- After spending R103 million on the share repurchase programme, net debt for the SA and Botswana group
nonetheless reduced by R195 million (R70 million since FY23) to R730 million (H1 FY23: R925 million)

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
PPC delivered a pleasing performance across all its markets for the six months to 30 September 2023 (the current
period) despite the weak macro environment for its core SA and Botswana group where it saw a decline in cement
volumes. Group revenue for the current period increased by 20.9% to R6 172 million (September 2022: R5 103 million)
driven by a 4% increase in group cement volumes, price increases and the rand depreciation against the US$.

Group cost of sales increased 16,1% to R4 934 million (September 2022: R4 251 million), being a lower rate of
increase than revenue, which, when combined with marginally lower administration and other operating expenses
resulted in a significant increase in operating profit to R675 million (September 2022: R273 million).

Group EBITDA increased by 46,8% to R1 069 million (September 2022: R728 million) as margins expanded in all the
markets, except Rwanda. In addition, there was a significant recovery of market share in Zimbabwe as well as a
return to profitability by the overall materials business.

Fair value and foreign exchange gains decreased from R82 million to R4 million due to the adoption of the US$ as the
functional currency for PPC Zimbabwe, thereby eliminating foreign exchange gains on monetary items held in Zimbabwe.
Similarly, the R206 million net monetary loss in the prior period due to hyperinflation is not applicable in the
current period. An impairment of R53 million relating to property, plant and equipment was made in the current period
(September 2022: Rnil). This is related to the mothballing by Cement SA of its Jupiter milling plant to secure cost
savings.

Finance costs decreased marginally to R81 million (September 2022: R84 million) notwithstanding the increases in
interest rates when compared to the prior period as gross debt continued to reduce. Investment income increased to
R15 million (September 2022: R10 million) on higher cash balances and higher market yields.

During the prior period the group realised a R23 million profit on the disposal of an equity-accounted investment,
Habesha.

Profit before tax increased to R560 million (September 2022: R106 million) and profit after tax was R431 million
(September 2022: R22 million). The effective tax rate for the current period is 23,0% (September 2022: 79%). The prior
period rate was negatively affected by a once off de-recognition of a deferred tax asset in PPC Ltd and the impact of
PPC Zimbabwe inflation.

Earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) increased respectively to 24 cents
(September 2022: 3 cents loss) and 26 cents (September 2022: 5 cents loss).

The group's net cash flow before financing activities increased to R578 million (September 2022: R319 million excluding
discontinued operations) as cash generation remains a key priority.

In line with the disciplined capital allocation policy, capital expenditure for the current period was R219 million
(September 2022: R176 million). The share repurchase programme of R200 million, approved by the board in June 2023, was
52% (R103 million) completed at the end of September 2023.

Group net debt declined to R381 million (September 2022: R677 million) from R765 million at 31 March 2023 due to strong
cash generation as cash balances remain relatively high at R640 million (September 2022: R766 million) when compared to
the 31 March 2023 balance of R424 million. Net debt for the SA and Botswana group improved by R195 million
(R70 million since FY23) to R730 million (H1 FY23: R925 million) and gross leverage levels remain below the target range
of 1,3 - 1,5 x last twelve month's EBITDA.

Zimbabwe remains debt-free and had unrestricted cash holdings at 30 September 2023 of R226 million up from R118 million
at 31 March 2023 (September 2022: R253 million). Some 99,5% of PPC Zimbabwe's cash is held in hard currencies. Zimbabwe
declared and paid a US$4 million dividend during the current period and declared a further US$7,0 million dividend in
November 2023.

CIMERWA's gross debt declined to R167 million from R383 million at 31 March 2023 (September 2022: R365 million). Cash
balances increased marginally to R274 million from R221 million at 31 March 2022 (September 2022: R345 million) as cash
generation contributed positively following the dividend paid in March of R172 million.

SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT
Overall cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana for the current period were down 4,7% when compared to
the prior comparative period, mainly due to a decline in sales in the coastal and Botswana regions. Sales were only
marginally negative in the inland region on an improved retail performance despite price increases and an ongoing
oversupply. Industrial and construction demand for technical products remains a strong differentiator for PPC. The
weaker coastal demand was due to a weaker economic environment in the region and excessive rain. Larger construction
projects in the region were also delayed. Imports into South Africa are at a stable level and continue to impact the
domestic industry negatively. In addition, Botswana was negatively impacted by increased Namibian imports supported
by export incentives provided to producers in Namibia.

PPC continues to increase its selling prices on a bi-annual basis and achieved an average selling price increase of
8,8% when compared to the six months ended 30 September 2022. For the six months ended 30 September 2023, South Africa
and Botswana cement revenue increased by 4,7% to R3 158 million (September 2022: R3 015 million), also impacted by 0,4%
adverse product mix.

High input cost inflation was experienced during the period, resulting in variable production costs per tonne cement
sold increasing by some 9,7% compared to the prior period. Stringent cost mitigation measures contained fixed costs,
with such costs decreasing by 1,9% compared to the prior period. Overall, total costs increased by 3,6% compared to
prior period.

EBITDA increased by 8,2% to R398 million (September 2022: R368 million) with a margin of 12,6% (September 2022: 12,2%)
as cost control initiatives combined with bi-annual price increases saw margins stabilise, albeit at low levels.

AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
Readymix volumes decreased by 19,7%, while aggregates volumes decreased by 16,8% compared to the prior period. Fly
ash sales volumes increased by 13,8%. Overall revenue for the materials division decreased by 6,1% to R586 million
(September 2022: R624 million), due to the largest contributor, readymix, experiencing a significant reduction in
demand offset in part by an increase in the average selling price. The divisional EBITDA increased to a profit of
R14 million (September 2022: R14 million loss) following the successful implementation of turnaround measures
implemented prior to 31 March 2023. These included a reduction of the absolute fixed costs and the conversion of
certain fixed costs to variable costs.

INTERNATIONAL
Zimbabwe
During the current reporting period, PPC's operation in Zimbabwe saw a strong recovery in all its key metrics.
Zimbabwe continued to win back market share it had lost during the planned extended kiln shutdown in the first half
of the prior year. Cement sales volumes increased 44,0% mainly due to improved clinker availability for production,
increased local demand, a reduction in imports and a soft base in the prior comparative numbers due to the extended
shutdown.

PPC Zimbabwe changed its functional currency to US$ and reporting has therefore been simplified as hyperinflation
accounting is no longer applicable. The rand depreciated by 14,9% to the US$ when compared to the prior comparative
period, bolstering the Zimbabwean overall performance when reported in South African rands.

Revenue for the current period increased by 104% in rand terms to R1 743 million (September 2022: R855 million) which,
together with the focus on costs resulted in EBITDA margins increasing to 24,6% (September 2022: 17,3%). PPC Zimbabwe's
EBITDA increased by 190% to R429 million (September 2022: R148 million).

Rwanda
CIMERWA's cement sales volumes increased by 11,9% for the current period when compared to the prior period, as local
and regional demand remains strong albeit with increased competition. CIMERWA is expected to remain in a strong
position to benefit from the continued growth of cement demand.

Revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2023 increased by 14,5% to R883 million (September 2022: R771 million),
as the rand remained relatively stable against the franc, depreciating 1%. In local currency, revenue increased
by 13,2% and EBITDA increased by 4,4% to R260 million (September 2022: R249 million). With low average selling price
increases of 1,3% due to product mix and continued pressure on input cost pricing, EBITDA margins decreased to 29,4%
(September 2022: 32,3%).

LEADERSHIP
Further to the announcement of Matias Cardarelli as the incoming chief executive officer of PPC on 4 September 2023,
shareholders are advised that the necessary work permit has not yet been finalised. However, sound progress has been
made and it is still envisaged that Mr Cardarelli will be able to start during the quarter ending 31 December 2023.

The current managing director of South Africa and Botswana, Njombo Lekula, has announced he will be leaving PPC after
three decades with the organisation. The board thanks Njombo for his invaluable contribution and dedication throughout
his tenure at PPC and wish him the very best for the future. While he will be winding down his involvement and handing
over, he will remain as part of PPC until 31 December 2023. Mr Lekula's role will not be filled but rather merged with
that of the group CEO. This will create a more efficient structure to support PPC's strategic goals.

OUTLOOK
The key focus for PPC will remain on its southern Africa businesses, including South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
This includes continuing to improve its profitability and enhance returns through further operational efficiencies and cost containment measures. Without a significant increase in
infrastructure spending and South African gross domestic product, South Africa's cement demand is expected to remain
subdued and sustainability is therefore dependent on both capital discipline and margin management. Notwithstanding,
PPC South Africa remains well positioned to benefit from an increase in cement demand with additional capacity readily
available to capture an upswing in demand without significant additional capital expenditure being required. Following
a strong recovery in market share and profitability in PPC Zimbabwe in the current period, the company anticipates at
least maintaining these gains. Further improvements will become possible following the implementation of the fly ash
project, which is still in the procurement stage.

Disposal by PPC Limited of its 51% Interest in CIMERWA - Rwanda

PPC Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC
("PPC" or "the Company")


DISPOSAL by PPC OF ITS 51% INTEREST IN CIMERWA (RWANDA)

1. INTRODUCTION

PPC shareholders are advised that the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, PPC International Holdings
Proprietary Limited ("PPCIH"), concluded an agreement (the "Disposal Agreement") on 17 November
2023 ("Signature Date") to dispose of its entire shareholding (the "Disposal Shares") in CIMERWA PLC
("CIMERWA") to National Cement Holding Limited (the "Purchaser"), for a cash consideration of US$42.5
million (the "Disposal Consideration" and the "Disposal").

CIMERWA is a Rwandan-based integrated cement manufacturer in which PPC has held a 51% interest
since 2013. The remaining 49% is held by minority shareholders, and this 49% is listed on the Rwanda
Stock Exchange.

The Purchaser is a privately-owned company and is part of the Devki group that is one of the largest
manufacturers of clinker and cement in East Africa, with operations in Kenya and Uganda.

2. EFFECTIVE DATE

The effective date of the Disposal will be the seventh business day after the day on which the last of the
conditions precedent (as detailed in paragraph 4 below), are fulfilled or waived (the "Effective Date"). On
the Effective Date, all legal risk in and all benefit attaching to the Disposal Shares will pass to the Purchaser
against payment of the Disposal Consideration.

3. RATIONALE FOR THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Disposal is pursuant to the Company's revised strategy to focus on its core Southern African markets
and results in PPC exiting the last of its Central and East African assets.

PPC believes that the Disposal enables the entry of a new long-term strategic investor in CIMERWA that
has the required financial and technical resources to continue to support and execute CIMERWA's
strategy, which is in line with the Purchaser's strategy to be an expanding regional cement producer.
The use of the Disposal Consideration will be considered by PPC in terms of its capital allocation model
and its optimal gearing levels.

4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

The implementation of the Disposal will be subject to the fulfilment and / or waiver of, inter alia, the
following conditions precedent, by no later than 29 February 2024:

4.1 notification by the parties of the Disposal to the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa;
4.2 CIMERWA has received tax clearance from the Rwanda Revenue Authority;
4.3 approval of the change of control arising out of the Disposal has been obtained from CIMERWA's
bankers; and
4.4 a non-objection confirmation has been received from the Rwanda Stock Exchange to conduct the
Disposal as an off-market sale/transfer.

5. WARRANTIES AND OTHER MATERIAL TERMS

PPCIH has provided the Purchaser with such warranties as are considered standard for a transaction of
this nature.

National Cement Company Limited, a significant operating company within the Devki group, has furnished
PPC with a corporate guarantee in respect of payment of the Purchase Consideration.

6. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial information set out below has not been reviewed or reported on by a reporting accountant
in terms of Section 8 of the JSE Listings Requirements and is the responsibility of PPC's directors.

CIMERWA had a net asset value of R1.2 billion as at 31 March 2023, being the date of the Company's last
financial year-end, and recorded a net profit after tax of R237 million for the year ended 31 March 2023.

At 31 March 2023, PPC had recorded the Disposal Shares at a total book value of US$38.5 million (R275.2
million).

The above financial information has been extracted from PPC's audited and consolidated annual financial
statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, which were prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards.

7. CATEGORISATION

The Disposal is classified as a category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and,
accordingly, does not require shareholder approval.

Trading Statement for the six month ended 30 September 2023

PPC Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC
ZSE code: PPC
("PPC" or "the group")


TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023

PPC is currently finalising its results for the six months ended 30 September 2023 ("the current period").
Shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
expected earnings per share ("EPS") and headline earning per share ("HEPS") for the current period will
differ by at least 20% from that for the previous corresponding period, being the six months ended 30
September 2022 ("the prior period") and that a trading statement is required in terms of the JSE Limited
Listings Requirements.

This difference is primarily due to the current period EPS and HEPS numbers being impacted by a strong
performance by PPC Zimbabwe in the current period compared to the prior period in which it had an
extended kiln shutdown. In addition, in the current period, PPC Zimbabwe changed its functional currency
from the Zimbabwean dollar to the United States dollar and this also had a positive impact given the
elimination of net monetary losses arising in the prior period due to hyperinflation accounting.

The following EPS and HEPS for the group are expected:

Current period Prior period
Expectation range Restated*

EPS (cents) 1 21.0 to 25.0 (30)
HEPS (cents) 1 25.5 to 26.5 (6)

1 Brackets denote losses per share

*Shareholders are referred to the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, where-in it was
reported that net impairments had incorrectly been taken in prior periods on the classification of PPC Barnet as a
disposal group, which should instead have been taken as a loss from discontinued operations when control was
actually lost, being 29 April 2022. The comparatives for the financial year ended 31 March 2022, were accordingly re-
stated for these non-cash adjustments. This also affects the prior period and the EPS will accordingly be re-stated for
the PPC group from (9) cents to (30) cents as stated above.


Moreover, the South Africa & Botswana Cement and Rwanda (CIMERWA) EBITDA margins remain in line
with those disclosed in the operational update, dated 20 September 2023, of 11% and 29% respectively.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based is the responsibility of the directors of
PPC and has not been reviewed or reported on by the group's independent external auditor. Full details of
the groups' performance will be contained in the group's unaudited consolidated financial statements for
the six months ended 30 September 2023, which are expected to be released on or about 20 November
2023.

Operating Update for the five months ended 31 August 2023

PPC Ltd
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC
(“PPC” or “the company” or “the group”)

OPERATING UPDATE FOR THE FIVE MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

GROUP PERFORMANCE

For the five months ended August 2023, compared to the five months ended August 2022 (the “comparable
period”), revenue for PPC’s South Africa (“SA”) and Botswana group (previously referred to as SA obligor group),
which excludes Zimbabwe and Rwanda (CIMERWA), increased by 5%, driven by an increase of average selling
prices despite weaker cement sales volumes. Revenues from the group’s operations in both Zimbabwe and
Rwanda were materially stronger than the comparable period increasing by 58% (US$ parallel rate) and 19% (in
ZAR) respectively.

Group cement sales volumes (including Zimbabwe and Rwanda) for the five months ended August 2023 were 3%
higher than the comparable period due to exceptionally strong growth in Zimbabwe and, to a lesser extent,
Rwanda, while cement volumes continued to decline in South Africa. While the materials business continued to
see a decline in volumes, the cost reduction actions and price increases implemented resulted in EBITDA turning
from negative in the comparable period to neutral in the five months ended August 2023.

EBITDA margins for SA and Botswana cement were flat against the comparable period at 11%, as price increases
and cost initiatives enabled the margin to be maintained.

Cash generation in the SA and Botswana group was positive due to the stabilised cement EBITDA, improvement
in the materials business EBITDA and lower than anticipated capital expenditure. Cash generation includes a
dividend received from Zimbabwe in July 2023 of R76 million ($3.5 million) compared to R68 million ($4.2 million)
in the comparable period.

SOUTH AFRICA & BOTSWANA CEMENT

Cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana decreased by 6% period-on-period for the five months ended
August 2023. Cement sales volumes in the inland region continued their decline, albeit at a significantly lower
rate, while the coastal region saw a downturn in volumes following higher than usual rainfall and weak retail
demand.

The average selling price increased by 10% during the period under review as bi-annual increases were
implemented in January and July 2023. Notwithstanding the lower volumes, this resulted in revenue growth of
5%. EBITDA for the period also increased by 5% as margins stabilised when compared to the comparable period.
PPC will continue its efforts to counter input price inflation through price adjustments, operational efficiencies
and improved industrial performance. SA and Botswana group’s gross debt remains unchanged from 31 March
2023, but cash has increased from R131 million to R283 million, leaving net debt at R648 million at 31 August
2023 from R800 million at 31 March 2023.

The BEE transaction announced on SENS on 7 August 2023 for 10% of PPC South Africa Holdings Proprietary
Limited (“PPC SA Holdings”) is for the benefit of PPC’s South African employees. Qualifying South African
employees therefore participated in the amount paid by PPC Cement SA (Proprietary) Limited to PPC SA Holdings
to enable it to declare a dividend to PPC, which will be utilised to fund the share repurchase of R200 million
announced in June 2023.

MATERIALS

The materials business is now contributing marginally to the EBITDA of the SA and Botswana group following the
implementation of various improvement actions. Price increases across ash, aggregates and readymix together
with an improved cost structure resulted in marginally positive EBITDA compared to a negative in the comparable
period.


ZIMBABWE

The cement market in Zimbabwe continued to show growth as a result of both residential construction and
government funded infrastructure projects. PPC Zimbabwe continued to win back market share during the period
following the planned maintenance shut down in the prior year. Cement sales volumes increased 42% period on
period.

PPC Zimbabwe’s average US$ selling price increased by 12% (US$ parallel rate) during the period. The improved
volumes and pricing allowed for a meaningful improvement in EBITDA margins to 27%, a significant improvement
from 14% in the comparable period, when there was a planned shutdown.

PPC received a US$3.5 million dividend in July 2023 and anticipates an additional dividend to be declared upon
the publication of PPC Zimbabwe's interim results in November 2023.

Shareholders were previously advised that 19% of the 29.6% of PPC Zimbabwe held by various indigenisation
parties vested on 5 July 2023 and PPC Zimbabwe expected to re-purchase such shares at US$ one cent each in
accordance with the relevant agreements. The repurchase of such shares was approved at an extraordinary
general meeting of PPC Zimbabwe’s shareholders on 29 August 2023 and all such shares were subsequently re-
purchased at US$ one cent each and cancelled. Consequently, PPC now holds 90% of PPC Zimbabwe.
Economically, PPC will receive 99.5% of all dividends until the notional vendor financing of the remaining
indigenous shareholder is repaid. Once-off costs incurred by PPC in connection with the unwinding of the
indigenisation transaction amounted to R42 million.


RWANDA (CIMERWA)

Rwanda continues to see strong demand for cement in all its markets, with cement sales volumes increasing by
13% period-on-period for the five months ended August 2023. Rwanda’s cement sales continued to benefit from
its strong domestic position as demand from infrastructure projects remains robust. Cement exports were
impacted by increased competition due to new competitors. Input cost increases were not able to be fully
absorbed through pricing increases of 6%, resulting in EBITDA increasing by 9% (ZAR) and a reduction in EBITDA
margin to 29% from 32% in the comparable period.

OUTLOOK

PPC’s outlook remains unchanged and it will continue to focus its resources on improving profitability and cash
generation in South Africa while preserving its sound market positions in Zimbabwe and Rwanda. There continues
to be a need for operational efficiencies and cost containment measures to mitigate rising input costs as the
economic climate in PPC’s key South African market remains muted. As previously highlighted, PPC South Africa
is well positioned to benefit from an increase in cement demand. PPC Zimbabwe anticipates a continued recovery
and the outlook for CIMERWA in Rwanda remains positive.

PPC is participating in the RMB Morgan Stanley Big Five and Off Piste Investor Conference in Cape Town on 20
September 2023 and the presentation to be given at this conference is available on the company’s website

Appointment of Matias Cardarelli as Chief Executive Officer of PPC

APPOINTMENT OF MATIAS CARDARELLI AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF PPC

Following the leadership update provided in June 2023, the board of directors of PPC (“the Board”) is pleased to
announce the appointment of Mr Matias Cardarelli as Chief Executive Officer of PPC. His appointment follows an
extensive search for a suitable successor for Mr Roland van Wijnen, whose contract expired on 31 August 2023
and was extended to 31 December 2023 to facilitate an appropriate handover and transition.

Mr Cardarelli has a remarkable track record in the cement industry, across multiple emerging markets having
importantly spent the last five years in South Africa as CEO and Chairman of Natal Portland Cement (NPC) part of
Intercement group. During his tenure at NPC he successfully transformed the organisation by improving
efficiencies, boosting margins and EBITDA, and increasing cash generation. With this deep understanding of the
local industry and his proven leadership skillset, Mr Cardarelli will play a pivotal role in continuing to drive PPC’s
growth, improve profitability and enhance returns.

Prior to moving to South Africa in 2019 to join NPC, Mr Cardarelli led the operational and financial turnaround of
Amreyah Cement in Egypt and scaling-up of Yguazu Cementos in Paraguay. Following the onset of Covid 19 and
the emergence of a new entrant in the Mozambican cement market, Mr Cardarelli’s portfolio was expanded to
include Cimentos de Mozambique, where he successfully implemented an operational and commercial plan to
return the company to profitability.

About his appointment, Mr Cardarelli says, “I am excited to be joining PPC at this important time in its journey
and highly value the trust placed in me by the Board. I equally look forward to working together with the PPC
team as we write this iconic company’s next chapter. In the five years we have lived here my family and I have
come to deeply love South Africa and her people. I look forward to contributing positively to both PPC and the

Employment Equity Transaction

EMPLOYEE EQUITY TRANSACTION

1. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE

Shareholders are advised that PPC has concluded an equity transaction (“Transaction”) for the benefit
of qualifying employees in the employ of PPC’s subsidiaries operating in South Africa. In terms of this
Transaction, a newly formed PPC Employee Share Ownership Trust (“the Trust”) has purchased 10%
of PPC South Africa Holdings Proprietary Limited (“PPC SA Holdings”) share capital (“the Trust Shares”)
from PPC for a purchase price of R380 million.

The Trust seeks to recognise and reward employees for the valuable role that they play in PPC’s
success and demonstrate the company’s commitment to achieving South Africa’s equity ownership
targets. All employees not currently participating in PPC’s long-term incentive program will be eligible
and participation will be weighted in favour of historically disadvantaged individuals, in line with the
spirit of Broad-based Black Economic Empowerment (“B-BBEE”). The Trust has been structured with
the objective of providing an opportunity for qualifying employees to benefit for the duration of their
employment and replaces previous equity ownership schemes which have since been unwound.

The Transaction will enhance PPC’s B-BBEE status and is expected to improve the company’s rating to
level 1.

Group CEO, Roland van Wijnen, commented, “PPC has been built upon the shoulders of its employees
and this Transaction provides a meaningful way of rewarding those in South Africa who do not
participate in PPC’s long-term incentive plan to share in the creation of shareholder value. We are
pleased that the terms of the Transaction are such that it stands to benefit employees for many years
to come”.

PPC SA Holdings is the holding company through which PPC conducts its South African cement and
materials businesses (aggregates, ash and readymix). As part of the Transaction, PPC’s shareholding
in PPC Group Services Proprietary Limited (the “Founder” or “Group Services”), which provides
administrative, information technology and treasury services to the South African group, will also be
transferred into PPC SA Holdings.

The board of directors of PPC has approved the provision by PPC of a loan of R380 million and an
additional amount of R975,000 in respect of securities transfer tax payable in connection with the
Transaction to the Trust to enable the Trust to discharge the purchase consideration for the Trust
Shares in full (the “Loan”). The Loan will be repaid by the Trust from 75% of dividends that it will
receive from its shareholding in PPC SA Holdings, with the remaining 25% being capable of distribution
to the Trust’s beneficiaries. The dividends that will be shared with the Trust will be generated by
PPC’s South African operations, as more fully outlined below.

The Trust will have one independent trustee appointed by the Founder and four additional trustees
appointed by the beneficiaries of the Trust, employed by the relevant PPC South African group
companies.

2. PURCHASE PRICE AND SATISFACTION THEREOF

The purchase price of R380 million for the acquisition by the Trust of the Trust Shares will be satisfied
in full by the advance of the Loan by PPC to the Trust on the closing date, as described in paragraph 3
below. The Loan accrues interest at the South African prime rate of interest and has no final
repayment date.

The Loan will be repaid through the future dividends declared by PPC SA Holdings to which the Trust
will be entitled as a 10% shareholder in PPC SA Holdings. All dividends paid from PPC SA Holdings to
the Trust will be utilised as follows:
- 25% to be distributed to all qualifying beneficiaries of the Trust; and
- 75% to be distributed to PPC (less any tax to be withheld) towards repayment of the Loan.

For the foreseeable future, until such time as the Loan, including capitalised interest, has been fully
repaid, qualifying beneficiaries will effectively receive 2.5% of any dividends declared by PPC SA
Holdings.

Following the repayment of the Loan in full, qualifying employees will receive 10% of the dividends
declared by PPC SA Holdings.

The Founder will cover the costs of operating the Trust.

3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT AND CLOSING DATE OF THE TRANSACTION

There are no outstanding conditions precedent to the Transaction agreements executed on 4 August
2023 and therefore the Transaction will close on 4 August 2023, in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction agreements.

4. WARRANTIES AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT

The Transaction agreements contain reciprocal warranties by each of PPC, PPC SA Holdings and the
Trust in favour of each other which are standard for a transaction of this nature and certain additional
warranties by PPC in relation to ownership of the Trust Shares.

5. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The book value of the net assets of PPC SA Holdings as at 31 March 2023, being the date of the latest
audited company financial statements of PPC SA Holdings, was R3.772 million. The net loss after tax
of PPC SA Holdings for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 was R552,343.

The book value of the net liabilities of Group Services as at 31 March 2023, amounted to R286 million
and Group Services made a loss after tax of R20 million for the year ended 31 March 2023.

The financial information on which the above is based, has been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards.

PPC will continue to consolidate 100% of PPC SA Holdings and the 2.5% of dividends received by
qualifying employees (as detailed in paragraph 2 above) will be disclosed as an additional salary
expense in the relevant South African legal entity. The gross debt of the consolidated South African
operations will therefore not be affected by the Transaction.

6. CLASSIFICATION OF THE TRANSACTION

The Transaction qualifies as a category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.
None of the Trust beneficiaries or trustees are related parties as defined in the JSE Listings
Requirements.

Short-form announcement summarised consolidated financial statements for the year ended, 31 March 2023

DRIVING PERFORMANCE TO SUSTAIN OUR PURPOSE

Roland van Wijnen, CEO, said: Despite challenging times, I am pleased that we further reduced our debt and are in a
strong financial position to weather the local economic cycle. Increased demand through an enhanced infrastructure
programme and a stronger economic climate is required to enable us to more effectively utilise the capacity available
in our primary market. We therefore remain hopeful that the South African government will roll out its infrastructure
development plans and protect the local cement market through the introduction of blanket import tariffs. Strong cash
dividends were received from both Zimbabwe and CIMERWA (Rwanda) during the period under review. PPC will start
repurchasing up to R200 million worth of its own shares as a distribution to shareholders. I thank my colleagues for
their commitment and hard work in ensuring our continued service to our valued customers as well as to each other.

SNAPSHOT OF PERFORMANCE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
- Group revenue marginally up to R9 902 million (FY22: R9 882)
on weak macro environment in South Africa
- Group EBITDA margin reduced 1,4% points to 13,7% (FY22: 15,1%)
as input inflation kept under control
- Group HEPS loss of 8 cents (FY22: loss of 3 cents)
- Group EPS loss of 16 cents (FY22: loss of 5 cents)

A distribution of R200 million through a share repurchase programme was approved by the board as target leverage
levels reached

Group results excluding PPC Zimbabwe and Rwanda (SA obligor)
- Revenue, excluding dividends increased 1% to R6 586 million (FY22: R6 501 million)
- EBITDA margins declined to 8,7% (FY22: 11,8%)
- Net debt for the SA obligor group improved by R263 million

PPC Zimbabwe
- Slower than anticipated recovery after planned kiln shutdown while market remains sound but
hyperinflation materially impacts reported results
- Dividends of R147 million (US$8,8 million) received by the group (FY22: R91 million or US$6,2 million)

CIMERWA Rwanda
- Volume growth of 1% in line with expectations but EBITDA still increased 31%
and margins increased marginally to 29%
- Inaugural dividend of R79 million (US$4,3 million) received by the group in March 2023

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
PPC continues to focus on sound capital allocation principles, maximising cash generation from its South African and
Botswana businesses (the SA obligor group) and extracting cash from its investments in Zimbabwe and Rwanda
(the International Businesses). Historically, dividends from Zimbabwe have contributed to the deleveraging of the group's
South African balance sheet. However, in FY23, the SA obligor group has reached an optimal level of gearing that allows
for the implementation of a new distribution policy. This policy is based on distributing an amount of cash so that the
12-month backward and expected 12-month forward SA obligor group gross debt to EBITDA is at a ratio of between 1.3 times
to 1.5 times. A new distribution in the form of a share repurchase of up to R200 million was approved by the board.

The SA obligor group revenue for the year ended 31 March 2023, excluding dividends from the International Businesses,
increased by 1,31% to R6 586 million (March 2022: R6 501 million), driven primarily by the 1,7% increase in revenue
in South Africa and Botswana Cement. While cement volumes remained under pressure, declining 5,8% on the prior year,
average price increases of 8,0% over the period ensured revenue remained positive, albeit slightly (0,5%) negatively
affected by adverse product mix. Including the impact of the International Businesses, which contributed 33%
(March 2022: 34%), total group revenue was flat at R9 902 million (March 2022: R9 882 million). The 29% increase in
revenue from CIMERWA (Rwanda) was more than offset by the reduced contribution of PPC Zimbabwe as reported sales in
ZAR declined by 19%.

Excluding the International Businesses' cost of sales and administration and other operating expenditure for both
periods, such costs in the SA obligor group increased by 4% year-on-year. Including the International Businesses, cost
of sales and administration and other operating expenditure was flat at R9 425 million (March 2022: R9 409 million).
Zimbabwe's costs decreased by 23%, which more than offset CIMERWA's cost increases (in rand) of 26%.

SA obligor group EBITDA, excluding dividends from the International Businesses, decreased by 26% to R570 million
(March 2022: R768 million) and EBITDA margins declined to 8,7% (March 2022: 11,8%) as, notwithstanding sound cost
containment measures implemented, cost increases remain higher than price increases implemented, resulting in
compressed margins.

Including the dividends received from the International Businesses, the SA obligor group's EBITDA amounted to
R804 million (March 2022: R863 million), resulting in gross debt to EBITDA ratio of 1.2 times, thereby facilitating
the R200 million distribution to shareholders.

Including the EBITDA of the International Businesses, group EBITDA declined by 9% to R1 358 million
(March 2022: R1 493 million). The 31% increase in CIMERWA's EBITDA was partially offset by a reduction in PPC
Zimbabwe's contribution of 7%.

Fair value and foreign exchange movements resulted in a gain of R69 million (March 2022: R2 million), mainly due to the
significant depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar against the United States dollar of 553% (March 2022: 69%) which
resulted in foreign exchange gains on net monetary items.

Impairments of R145 million (March 2022: R38 million) were taken during the year under review, the largest item being
R84 million. This related to an impairment at group of a portion of the premium paid on the acquisition of CIMERWA. Of
the R84 million, R42 million related to the impairment of goodwill.

Finance costs decreased by 28% to R172 million (March 2022: R240 million), due to the successful de-gearing of the
group with gross debt declining from R1 586 million in March 2022 to R1 189 million in March 2023.

During the current year, the group realised a net profit of R23 million (March 2022: nil) from the disposal of the
previously equity-accounted investment in Habesha.

Notwithstanding group profit before tax declining to R93 million (March 2022: R186 million), taxation increased 17% to
R242 million (March 2022: R207 million). The current year tax charge is significantly negatively impacted by non-cash
items of R195 million (March 2022: R56 million). These non-cash items are primarily due to the SA obligor group not
recognising deferred tax assets and PPC Zimbabwe hyperinflation impacts.

Basic earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations decreased from a loss of 5 cents to a loss of 16 cents.
Headline earnings per share (HEPS) from continuing operations decreased from a loss of 3 cents to a loss of 8 cents.
This is primarily due to the impact of the following:
- Significant non-cash tax items in the current year of R195 million (March 2022: R56 million), relating primarily to
hyperinflation accounting and deferred tax not recognised on losses
- Lower earnings generation in the SA obligor group and PPC Zimbabwe
- The positive impact of the strong CIMERWA performance not flowing fully to EPS and HEPS given the operations are 51%
held by PPC.

Consolidated net cash inflow before financing activities from continuing operations remains positive at R392 million
(March 2022: R675 million) as cash generation remains a priority.

Capital investment remained disciplined and reduced to R415 million (March 2022: R553 million). The reduction in spend
was largely attributable to South Africa and Botswana Cement (R53 million reduction) and Zimbabwe (R69 million reduction).

The SA obligor group's gross debt (excluding capitalised transaction costs) declined from R1 210 million at 31 March 2022
to R931 million at 31 March 2023 in accordance with the debt repayment terms. Unrestricted cash holdings at 31 March 2023
were R131 million (March 2022: R147 million), leaving net debt at R800 million (31 March 2022: R1 063 million).

Zimbabwe is debt-free and had unrestricted cash holdings at 31 March 2023 of R118 million. The cash balance declined
from R353 million at 30 September 2022 due to a dividend of US$5 million paid in November 2022 and lower US$ balances
at the year-end with the cash holdings in ZWL depreciating significantly against the rand. Some 70% of PPC Zimbabwe's
cash is held in hard currencies.

CIMERWA's gross debt declined to R265 million (March 2022: R383 million). Cash also declined from R221 million at
31 March 2022 to R160 million at 31 March 2023, due to the dividend paid in March of R172 million.

SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT
The coastal region continued to see good demand for cement and imports remained relatively muted. The growth in sales
volumes in the coastal region was offset by continued weak trading conditions in the inland region, leaving overall
cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana down 5,8% compared to the prior year.

The coastal region saw an increase in cement volumes due to increased industrial construction activity and specific
government projects as well as improved retail sales. Cement imports into the Western Cape remained low during the
period due to global supply chain constraints and a weaker rand.

There was a decline in demand in the larger inland region in both the retail and the construction segments, with the
construction sector being supported to some extent by the building of distribution centres and housing estates.

During the year under review, PPC continued to increase its selling prices on a bi-annual basis and achieved an average
selling price increase of 8.0%. For the year ended 31 March 2023, PPC South Africa and Botswana Cement revenue increased
by 1,7% to R5 509 million (March 2022: R5 415 million), marginally negatively affected by 0,5% due to adverse product mix.

High input cost inflation was experienced during the year, with variable production costs per tonne increasing by some
14% compared to the prior period. Cost mitigation measures reduced the extent of the impact of the high input costs,
with fixed administration and overhead costs decreasing by some 1,4% year-on-year. Overall, total costs increased by 4%
compared to FY22.

EBITDA decreased to R674 million (March 2022: R825 million) with a margin of 11,7% (March 2022: 14,5%) as selling price
increases continued to lag cost increases.

AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
Readymix volumes decreased by 4%, while aggregates volumes decreased by 22% compared to the prior year. Fly ash sales
volumes declined by 18%. Overall revenue for the materials division decreased by 1% to R1 077 million (March 2022:
R1 086 million), due to the largest contributor to the materials business, readymix, experiencing relatively stable
demand but an increase in selling prices which enabled its revenues to grow by 6%. Overall, the materials businesses
incurred an EBITDA loss of R65 million (March 2022: R41 million profit). Measures were implemented prior to 31 March 2023
to restructure, in particular, the aggregates business to decrease absolute fixed costs and convert certain fixed costs
to variable costs as part of the turnaround efforts for the overall materials businesses.

INTERNATIONAL
Zimbabwe
The impact of the planned extended kiln shutdown in the first half of the year for special maintenance and the
installation of the bag house and bucket elevator resulted in limited clinker production and ultimately restricted the
volumes of cement sold. In addition, plant stoppages due to power interruptions negatively affected performance. Volumes
year-on-year were down 16% despite robust cement demand from concrete product manufacturers and government-funded
infrastructure projects. Government reduced the number of import licences in January 2023, which will support the recovery
of PPC's market share.

PPC Zimbabwe was able to implement US$ price increases to recover input cost inflation. Further, PPC Zimbabwe continued
to generate adequate sales in foreign currency to sustain its operational requirements during the period and pay
dividends. PPC received US$8,9 million in dividends during the year totalling R147 million net of withholding tax
(compared to US$6,2 million in the prior year).

Revenue decreased by 19% to R1 753 million (March 2022: R2 172 million). EBITDA declined by 7% to R365 million
(March 2022: R393 million) in ZAR, but margins, due to price increases increased to 20,8% (March 2022: 18,1%).

Rwanda
CIMERWA's cement sales volumes increased by 1% for the full year, in line with expectations given the planned kiln shut
down in November 2022. The regional demand remains strong as both the domestic and cement export markets, particularly
in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, have shown growth in demand. While competition is on the increase, as new
production capacity comes online in the region, CIMERWA is expected to remain in a strong position to benefit from the
continued growth of cement demand in its core markets.

Revenue for the twelve months ended 31 March 2023 increased by 29% to R1 563 million (March 2022: R1 209 million),
assisted by the 9% depreciation of the rand. In local currency, revenue increased by 19%, mainly due to average price
increases in local currency of 18% to offset cost inflation. EBITDA increased by 31% to R447 million (March 2022: R341
million) and EBITDA margins increased marginally to 28,6% (March 2022: 28,2%) as the contribution of premium quality
product increased and CIMERWA's sales to the US$ priced regional market increased.

LEADERSHIP
Following an extensive search process, the board is in the final stages of appointing a suitable successor for Roland,
whose employment contract was scheduled to come to an end on 31 August 2023. The board will communicate to the market
in due course. To ensure an orderly handover, the board has agreed with Roland to extend his contract to 31 December
2023.

OUTLOOK
PPC will continue to focus its resources on Southern Africa while preserving its sound market position in Rwanda. The
group has defined a series of value-accretive projects to reduce CO2 emissions and future proof the business. There is
a need for further operational efficiencies and cost containment measures to mitigate rising input costs as the economic
climate in its key South African market remains muted and competition remains high across the portfolio. Without a
significant increase in infrastructure spending and South African gross domestic product, South Africa's cement demand is
expected to remain subdued. PPC South Africa is well positioned to benefit from an increase in cement demand with additional
capacity readily available to capture an upswing in demand without additional capital expenditure required. PPC Zimbabwe
anticipates a continued recovery and the outlook for CIMERWA in Rwanda remains positive.

TRADING STATEMENT AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

PPC is currently finalising its results for the twelve months ended 31 March 2023 (“the current period”).

Roland van Wijnen, chief executive officer of PPC provides the following context:

“Despite challenging times in our core South African market, I am pleased that we achieved
positive cashflow generation, further reduced our debt and are in a strong financial position to
weather the local economic cycle. Increased demand through an enhanced infrastructure
investment program and a stronger economic climate is required to enable us to more effectively
utilize the capacity available in our primary market. We therefore remain hopeful that the South
African government will roll out its infrastructure development plans and protect the local cement
market through the introduction of import tariffs to create a level playing field for domestic
producers. Increased cash dividends were received from both Zimbabwe and CIMERWA
(Rwanda) during the period under review.”

SA obligor group
The SA obligor group operationally comprises the South African and Botswana cement and materials
businesses. The coastal region of the cement business continued to see relatively better demand for
cement compared to the inland region and benefited from muted imports given the weaker rand over this
period. However, trading conditions in the inland region remained difficult, resulting in overall cement
volumes reducing by 5.8% compared to the year ended 31 March 2022 ("the prior period"). Positively,
during the current period, PPC was able to continue to increase its selling prices on a bi-annual basis and
achieved an average selling price increase of 8.0%. PPC South Africa and Botswana cement revenue
increased by 1.7% during the current period. High input cost inflation remained a key feature requiring
rigorous cost mitigation measures to cushion the impact of these high input costs. Overall, total costs
increased by 4% compared to the prior period.

The smaller materials business was challenged during the year due to difficult trading conditions, including
high fixed costs while also being negatively impacted by loadshedding, particularly in the second half of
the year. Volumes reduced across all its key business lines, readymix, fly ash and aggregates, resulting in
an EBITDA loss of R65 million (March 2022: R41 million profit). Measures were implemented prior to 31
March 2023 to restructure, in particular, the aggregates business to decrease absolute fixed costs and
convert certain fixed costs to variable costs as part of the turnaround efforts for the overall materials
businesses.
EBITDA for the SA obligor group, excluding the dividends received from Zimbabwe and Rwanda, declined
to R570 million from R769 million (26%). EBITDA margin decreased from 11.8% in the prior period to 8.7%.

The SA obligor group’s net debt reduced to R800 million (31 March 2022: R1 063 million), while gross debt
(excluding capitalized transaction costs) declined from R1 210 million at 31 March 2022 to R931 million at
31 March 2023 in accordance with the debt repayment terms. The reduction in gross debt results in a gross
debt to EBITDA ratio, including dividends from Rwanda and Zimbabwe, of 1.2 times.

PPC Zimbabwe
Volumes year-on-year were down 16% despite robust cement demand from concrete product
manufacturers and government-funded infrastructure projects. This is due to the impact of the planned kiln
shut down for maintenance which took place in the first half of the year, which negatively impacted the
performance. In addition, plant stoppages due to power interruptions negatively affected performance in
the second half. PPC Zimbabwe has gradually recovered market share lost over this period and is well
positioned to deliver strong volume growth going forward.

Revenue decreased by 19%, but PPC Zimbabwe was able to implement US$ price increases to cover
input cost inflation and enhance margins. EBITDA declined by 7% to R365 million (March 2022: R393
million).

PPC Zimbabwe is debt-free and had unrestricted cash holdings at 31 March 2023 of R118 million. PPC
received US$8.8 million in dividends during the year, compared to US$6.2 million in the prior year. In rand
terms, PPC received R147 million in the current year net of withholding taxes compared to R91 million in
the prior period.

CIMERWA (Rwanda)
CIMERWA’s volumes increased by 1% for the current period, in line with expectations given the planned
kiln shut down for maintenance in the second half. Revenue increased by 29% assisted in part by the 9%
depreciation of the rand and strong price increases to offset cost inflation. EBITDA increased by 31% to
R447 million (31 March 2022: R341 million).
CIMERWA gross debt declined to R265 million (31 March 2022: R383 million). Cash declined from R221
million at 31 March 2022 to R160 million at 31 March 2023, due to the maiden dividend paid in March 2023
of R172 million. The dividend received by the SA obligor group, net of withholding taxes, amounted to R79
million.

PPC CONSOLIDATED GROUP
Shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
expected earnings per share (“EPS”) and headline earning per share (“HEPS”) for the current period will
differ by at least 20% from that for the previous corresponding period, being the twelve months ended 31
March 2022 and that a trading statement is required in terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements.
This is primarily due to the reported EPS and HEPS numbers being impacted by:


1. Significant non-cash tax items in the current year of R195 million (31 March 2022: R56 million), relating
primarily to hyperinflation accounting and deferred tax not recognised on losses.

2. Lower earnings generation in the SA obligor group and PPC Zimbabwe.
3. The positive impact of the strong CIMERWA performance not flowing fully to EPS and HEPS given the
operations are only 51% held by PPC.

PPC accounted for the PPC Barnet DRC business as a discontinued operations up to 29 April 2022,
whereafter it was de-consolidated.

EPS and HEPS for the group including discontinued operations:

EPS for the group, including discontinued operations, for the current period is expected to be a loss of
between 21.5 cents and 22.5 cents per share, compared to the 5.0 cents per share profit for the prior
period. HEPS for the group, including discontinued operations, is expected to be a loss of between 8.0
cents per share and 10.5 cents per share, compared to the 13.0 cents per share loss in the prior period,
being an improvement of between 38% and 19% respectively.

The following EPS and HEPS for continuing operations are expected:

The financial information on which this trading statement is based is the responsibility of the directors of
the company and has not been reviewed or reported on by the group's independent external auditor. Full
details of the groups’ performance will be contained in the group’s audited financial statements for the
twelve months ended 31 March 2023, which are expected to be released on or about 26 June 2023.

Outlook
PPC will continue to focus its resources on Southern Africa, which includes Zimbabwe, while preserving its
sound market position in Rwanda. Further operational efficiencies and cost containment measures have
been identified to mitigate rising input costs as the economic climate in its key South African market remains
muted and competition remains high across the portfolio. PPC will continue to implement bi-annual price
increases to achieve margin recovery. Without a significant increase in infrastructure spending and
economic growth, South Africa’s cement demand is expected to remain subdued. PPC South Africa is well
positioned to benefit from an increase in cement demand with additional capacity readily available to
capture an upswing in demand without additional capital expenditure required. PPC Zimbabwe anticipates
a continued recovery and the outlook for CIMERWA remains positive.

PPC’s focus will continue to be on cash generation and capital allocation efficiency. With the South African
gross debt to EBITDA ratio now at the targeted level, PPC intends to prioritise returning cash to
shareholders through dividends or a share repurchase program in the absence of any value enhancing
corporate activity.

OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDING 31 MARCH 2023

GROUP PERFORMANCE

The twelve months ending 31 March 2023 has been characterized by different market conditions in
each of the markets in which PPC operates, being South Africa & Botswana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda.
In South Africa & Botswana, the market has been affected by a decline in disposable income and the
absence of any material increase in demand from infrastructure spending. Zimbabwe and Rwanda
continue to experience growth in cement demand supported by infrastructure spending and retail
demand in both countries. The one common factor across the markets has been a significant increase
in input costs due to the rise of energy costs globally.

Deleveraging continued to be a priority in South Africa & Botswana. PPC expects net debt in South
Africa & Botswana to be between R725 million and R775 million at year-end down from R1,075 million
at 31 March 2022 and R935 million at 30 September 2022. Gross debt is anticipated to reach our
targeted levels by year-end, which would allow for distributions while maintaining gross leverage at
1.3 – 1.5x of the full South African and Botswana operations EBITDA, which includes dividends from
Zimbabwe and Rwanda. In Rwanda, CIMERWA’s debt continues to decrease and matures in August
2024. Both PPC Zimbabwe and CIMERWA expect to be in a net cash position at 31 March 2023 with
sustained dividend payments being a key priority. CIMERWA declared its first dividend in the current
financial year, which is anticipated to be paid out before end March 2023.

SOUTH AFRICA & BOTSWANA CEMENT

PPC expects cement sales volumes in South Africa & Botswana to decrease by 4% to 7% year-on-year
for the twelve months ending 31 March 2023 (“FY23”). A decrease of 2.6% was reported for the first
six months of FY23 (“H1”) and the negative trend in market demand has continued in the second six-
month period of FY23 (“H2”).

These numbers mask a relatively sound performance in the coastal region while trading in the inland
region continues to be very challenging. In the Western Cape, PPC has been able to increase its market
share as imports reduced over the reporting period. Conversely the cement market share of PPC in
the highly competitive inland areas has come under pressure following price increases implemented
in June 2022 to offset rising costs. Rising input costs and the objective of maintaining our market share
continues to cause margin pressure. Average selling prices (“ASP”) for the full year are expected to
increase between 5% and 7%. At 30 September 2022, the ASP was reported to have increased by 5%
in the first six months of FY23 compared to the same period in the previous financial year (“FY22”).
PPC will continue with its bi-annual price increases in the 2024 financial year to restore EBITDA
margins.

PPC contained its production cost inflation to approximately 11% during FY23. Cost mitigation
measures and improved operational performance reduced the impact of the external input cost
inflation. Efforts to contain fixed costs and administration/other expenses resulted in these costs only
increasing between 3% to 5%.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) margin was 17.6% for H1 FY22
and 14.5% for FY22. This declined due to cost pressures in H1 FY23 to a reported 12.2%. Price increases
in H2 FY23 have not kept pace with cost inflation and PPC expects the margin for the South Africa and
Botswana Cement business to decline to a between 9% and 11% for the full year from 14.5% reported
for FY22.

Recovery of cement demand in South Africa remains dependent on the implementation of the much
awaited and needed infrastructure programmes as well as an improved macro environment.
Consumer spending on building materials is not expected to increase in the short-term. Despite lower
international freight costs, PPC does not anticipate a significant increase in imports in the short-term
due to rand weakness and continued port challenges across South Africa, which should provide some
reprieve. However, in the medium-term, imports and the associated impacts on direct and indirect
employment remain an issue for the South African cement industry. In addition, PPC has noticed with
concern that sub-standard cement continues to be sold in the South African market, especially in areas
with intense competition. PPC therefore continues its engagements with regulators to create a level
playing field among local, regional and international competitors.
MATERIALS

PPC operates three distinctly different business lines reported as Materials, namely readymix
concrete, aggregates and fly ash. All these business lines are subject to similar construction market
trends as described above for the South African cement demand, but are slightly less impacted by
changes in the retail sector. The readymix concrete business is a significant consumer of PPC cement
and is expected to have similar sales volumes in FY23 compared to FY22 on the back of a growth in
market share. The aggregates business serves its customers from two quarries. The lack of demand
across its customer portfolio has caused an expected decline in sales volumes in FY23 of 20% to 25%
compared to FY22. The fly ash business expects a decline of sales volumes similar to that of aggregates.

Unlike cement factories, the operations in Materials are fully exposed to loadshedding unless back-up
generators are installed. This has caused numerous disruptions and cost increases. The EBITDA
contribution of the Materials division reported a loss of R14 million at 30 September 2022 for the first
six months of FY23. For the full year, PPC expects this negative EBITDA contribution to increase
disproportionately. In the second half of FY23, a turn-around plan was formulated that will
significantly decrease the fixed costs associated with the Materials business. The plan will be
implemented in March and April 2023.

ZIMBABWE

At 30 September 2022, PPC Zimbabwe reported a decline in sales volumes of 13% for the first six
months of FY23 due to the impact of a longer than usual kiln stoppage to implement operational and
environmental performance improvements with the expectation that sales volumes would recover in
H2 of FY23. Notwithstanding market conditions in Zimbabwe remaining positive due to continued
infrastructure investments, sales volumes in H2 FY23 have been muted due to significant power
interruptions and a more gradual than anticipated recovery of market share lost to imports. For the
full year, PPC Zimbabwe therefore expects sales volumes to decline by 14% to 18% compared to FY22.
PPC Zimbabwe has engaged the authorities to reduce the impact of the lack of electricity on critical
industrial sectors such as cement manufacturing and to ensure a level playing field with importers.
The outlook for PPC Zimbabwe remains positive and it is expected that EBITDA and EBITDA margins
will continue to recover to the levels of FY22 over the coming months. For FY23, PPC received USD8.8
million in dividends from PPC Zimbabwe (USD6.2 million in FY22). The bi-annual dividend declarations
are expected to continue and grow over time.

RWANDA

At 30 September 2022, CIMERWA reported an increase of cement sales volumes of 11% for the first
six months of FY23 compared to the same period in FY22 when COVID restrictions were still affecting
the Rwandan market. Whilst market conditions continue to be positive, the sales volumes of
CIMERWA are expected to be 8% to 11% lower in H2 FY23 due to the impact of a planned kiln
shutdown for annual maintenance and the comparatively high H2 FY22 sales volumes following the
removal of COVID restrictions in Rwanda. CIMERWA therefore expects sales volumes to be more or
less flat for the full year and an increase of ASP in the range of 14% to 17%. Material future growth of
sales volumes depends on the speed of implementation of planned investments to increase
CIMERWA’s capacity. EBITDA margins were reported to be 32% for the first six months driven by the
implementation of cost reduction measures and an increase in the ASP. Despite maintenance costs
associated with the kiln stoppage in H2 FY23, CIMERWA expects to report EBITDA margins in the range
of 28% to 32% for FY23. The outlook for cement demand in Rwanda and eastern Democratic Republic
of Congo remains optimistic although PPC does note increased competitor pressure both in Rwanda
and from neighbouring countries. The shareholders of CIMERWA approved the payment of a Rwf10.5
billion dividend at the annual general meeting in February 2023. PPC expects CIMERWA to pay 51% of
this dividend (approx. R80 million after withholding taxes) in late March 2023.

LIQUIDITY & CASH FLOW

The group manages the cash flow and financial position in its three geographic areas (South Africa &
Botswana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda) separately. Each of these areas is ringfenced so that South Africa
& Botswana receives dividends and management fees from the subsidiaries outside this area. South
Africa & Botswana reported a net debt of R1,075 million at 31 March 2022 and R935 million at 30
September 2022. It expects that the net debt position will further improve to between R725 million
and R775 million by the end of March 2023. The ratio of gross debt to EBITDA (that includes the
dividends received) is expected to be approximately at the targeted level of 1.3 – 1.5x.

Prudent allocation of capital remains a priority and the capital expenditure for the whole of South
Africa & Botswana is expected to be in the range of R280 million to R310 million for FY23 compared
to R324 million in FY22. Capital expenditure in South Africa & Botswana mainly relates to the
categories of maintenance and compliance although FY23 does include expenditure for a new cement
blending facility that PPC expects to commission in the first quarter of the 2024 financial year to
further reduce costs in delivering product to the customer. Net working capital (“NWC”) in South
Africa & Botswana is expected to increase by R60 million to R80 million driven by the need for
additional inventory to optimize kiln shutdown periods.

The financial position of both PPC Zimbabwe and CIMERWA remains solid with both companies
reporting positive free cash flow after capital expenditure and NWC movements. Both companies will
end the financial year in a net positive cash position. Future capital expenditure requirements for both
these companies will not require financial assistance from PPC South Africa & Botswana.

OUTLOOK

PPC plans to implement further cost reduction measures across its portfolio to protect and restore
EBITDA margins. This is in particular important for South Africa, where the business environment is
expected to remain difficult as loadshedding and other challenges persist. Further cement price
increases will be necessary to ensure the long-term sustainability of the domestic industry and PPC
will continue to implement the required price increases whilst protecting its leading market position.
However, PPC remains prepared and able to activate additional capacity when the impact of
infrastructure programs materialises. This can be done in a matter of weeks without significant fixed
costs or capital expenditure.

The subsidiaries outside South Africa & Botswana are well positioned to continue to deliver a strong
performance with regular and increasing dividend declarations to South Africa.

With the South African gross debt to EBITDA ratio expected to be at the stated optimal level, PPC
intends to prioritize returning cash to shareholders through dividends or a share repurchase program
in the absence of any value enhancing corporate activity.

COMMENTARY OVERVIEW
Roland van Wijnen, CEO, said: "I am pleased that our strategic initiatives have enabled PPC to maintain its
market-leading position in its core Southern African markets and continue to reduce debt, despite challenging and
competitive trading conditions. We are in a strong financial position to weather the local economic cycle and are well
placed to supply any increase in demand as the roll-out of the South African government's infrastructure development
plans gain momentum. I thank our valued customers for their enduring support. I also thank all my colleagues for their
hard work, commitment, and dedication."

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
PPC delivered a sound performance under challenging operating conditions through continued focus on driving cost
efficiencies and enhancing cash generation to deleverage. The sound group performance was however impacted by
hyperinflation accounting, with the Zimbabwean dollar depreciating 72% against the rand since 31 March 2022 and
distorting the consolidated results. While PPC Zimbabwe continued to generate good cash returns and US$4,4million in
dividends were paid to the group during the period under review, analysing the results excluding PPC Zimbabwe is more
meaningful due to the impact of hyperinflation accounting. The results below are shown both including and excluding the
Zimbabwe operations.

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2022, increased 9% to R4,248 million (September
2021: R3,893 million) supported by period-on-period price increases, while cement volumes were 1% down on the comparable
period. Including the impact of PPC Zimbabwe, which contributes 17% (September 2021: 24%), group revenue decreased by 1%
to R5,103 million (September 2021: R5,131 million).

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe's cost of sales and administration and other operating expenditure for both periods, the cost increase
amounts to 11,3%, which is below input cost inflation experienced in the current six-month period to 30 September 2022.
Including PPC Zimbabwe, cost of sales and administration and other operating expenditure increased by 6,4% to R4,820 million
(September 2021: R4 530 million).

Group EBITDA, excluding PPC Zimbabwe, decreased by 12% toR580 million (September 2021: R658 million) and EBITDA margins
declined to 13,7% (September 2021:16,9%) as higher energy costs and increased competition in PPC's core South African
market compressed margins despite a strong performance in the Rwandan business. Group EBITDA, including PPC Zimbabwe,
declined by 23% to R728 million (September 2021: R945 million).

Fair value and foreign exchange movements resulted in a gain of R82 million (September 2021: R1 million loss), mainly due to
the significant depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar against the United States dollar, which resulted in foreign exchange
gains on net monetary items.

Finance costs decreased by 43% to R84 million (September 2021: R147 million), due to the continued successful de-gearing
of the group and lower interest costs following the implementation of improved facility arrangements in South Africa in
December 2021.

During the current period, the group realised a net profit on the disposal of equity accounted investments of R23 million
(September 2021: Nil) from the sale of Habesha.

Profit from continuing operations before tax, but excluding PPC Zimbabwe, increased by 4% from R250 million to R259 million.
When the impact of PPC Zimbabwe is included, which is inclusive of the net monetary loss of R206 million (30 September 2021:
R440 million gain), the group profit from continuing operations before tax would have decreased from R981 million to
R106 million.

Taxation decreased to R84 million (September 2021: R201 million). The current period effective tax rate was negatively affected
by a once-off de-recognition of a deferred tax asset in PPC Ltd and the impact of PPC Zimbabwe hyperinflation, resulting in an
effective tax rate of 79% (September 2021: 20%).

Earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) decreased respectively from 53 cents to a loss of 3 cents and
from 55 cents to a loss of 5 cents. This is primarily due to the reported EPS and HEPS numbers being impacted as follows:
1. Lower earnings generation in South Africa and Botswana cement and aggregates, readymix and ash segments and PPC Zimbabwe.
2. The full impact of the strong CIMERWA performance not flowing fully to EPS and HEPS given the operations are 51% held by PPC.
3. Hyperinflation accounting in terms of IAS29 for PPC Zimbabwe including a significant negative swing in the net monetary impact
in the income statement from a positive R440 million in the prior period to a negative R206 million in the current period.

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, EPS decreased from 8 cents to 5 cents and HEPS decreased from 10 cents to 4 cents.

Net cash inflow before financing activities remains positive at R319 million (September 2021: R502 million) as cash generation
remains a priority.

Group net debt declined to R677 million on 30 September 2022 (March 2022: R1 009 million) due to positive cash generation and
strict capital allocation discipline.

SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT
Increases in sales volumes in the coastal region, due to strong demand and a decrease in imports, were offset by difficult
trading conditions in the inland region. This left cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana down 2,6% period-on-period
for the six months ended September 2022.

The coastal region continues to experience an upswing in cement due to a recovery in industrial construction activity and the
resumption of postponed government projects. In addition, a decrease in cement imports into the Western Cape due to global supply
chain constraints and a weaker rand positively impacted PPC's cement sales volumes to the retail segment.

The inland region saw above-average seasonal rainfall at the beginning of FY23 and a subdued macroeconomic backdrop. This resulted
in a decline in cement sales to both the retail and construction segments. In addition, the recent flooding in the KZN region
lowered cement consumption in that region. As a result, cement destined for that market made its way to the inland region and
thereby intensified the competitive pressures further in an already depressed market. The construction of distribution centres
and housing estates supported cement sales to the industrial segment in the inland region.

PPC estimates that cement and clinker imports decreased by 32% relative to the prior comparable period. Although this
has provided a much-needed respite for the domestic producers, imports threaten the long-term sustainability of the
South African cement industry as domestic cement production capacity exceeds current demand. PPC and other industry
players continue to engage with the relevant authorities on the need to protect the industry from unfair competition.

During the period under review, PPC increased selling prices by an average of 5% and saw a positive impact from changes
in the product mix. It also continued to be successful with its cost-control efforts. However, this was insufficient to
fully recoup the significantly higher fuel and energy costs keeping EBITDA margins under pressure.

For the six months ended September 2022, PPC South Africa and Botswana cement revenue increased by 4% to R2,865 million
(September 2021: R2,753 million), however EBITDA declined by 29% to R368 million (September 2021: R515 million) with a
margin of 12,2%.

Net debt for SA and Botswana declined from R1,075 million at 31 March 2022 to R935 million at 30 September 2022, a de-gearing
of R140 million.

AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
For the six months ended 30 September 2022, the readymix businesses experienced increased demand and market share gains due to
the exit of some competitors from the market. Readymix volumes increased by 5% period-on-period, while aggregates volumes
decreased by 15% period-on-period. In addition, fly ash sales volumes declined by 27% period-on-period from a high base, as ash
sales in the previous period benefited from a lack of alternative extenders such as slag. Overall revenue for the materials
division increased by 2% to R612 million (September 2021: R600 million), due to the increase in sales of readymix. EBITDA reduced
to a loss of R14 million (September 2021: R37 million profit).

INTERNATIONAL
Rwanda
For the six months ended 30 September 2022, CIMERWA's cement sales volumes increased by 11% period-on-period. Increased
demand from government-sponsored infrastructure projects and a resurgence in general building activity aided CIMERWA's
domestic cement sales. In addition, cement exports benefited from sustained demand in the eastern Democratic Republic
of Congo and the expansion of CIMERWA's route-to-market initiatives. Cement volumes also benefited from improved industrial
performance and plant reliability. CIMERWA's efforts to enhance industrial performance and reliability are yielding tangible results.

Revenue in rand for the six months ended 30 September 2022 increased by 43% to R771 million (September 2021: R539 million).
EBITDA increased by 63% to R249 million (September 2021: R153 million) and EBITDA margin improved to 32,3% (September 2021: 28,4%).

CIMERWA also de-geared and ended the period under review with cash holdings of R345 million.

Zimbabwe
Due to a planned kiln shutdown, required for maintenance, PPC Zimbabwe's cement sales volumes declined 13% period-on-period.
However, following the resumption of clinker production at the end of May 2022, PPC Zimbabwe's cement sales volumes improved
in the second quarter of FY23 relative to the first quarter of FY23 with a continued robust cement demand from residential
construction and government-funded infrastructure projects.

PPC Zimbabwe implemented US$ price increases of 5% in March 2022, 2% in April 2022 and a further 5% increase in August 2022 to
recover input cost inflation. Further, PPC observed an increase in foreign currency availability in the Zimbabwean economy, with
over 80% of cement sales occurring in foreign currency during the period under review. PPC received a $3,7 million dividend in
December 2021 and an additional US$4,4 million in dividends in June 2022.

Revenue decreased by 31% to R855 million (September 2021: R1,239 million) due to the impact of the planned kiln
maintenance and the depreciation in the Zimbabwean dollar against the rand. EBITDA declined by 48% to R148 million
(September 2021: R287 million) with a reduced EBITDA margin of 17,3% (September 2021: 23,2%). EBITDA and EBITDA margin
were adversely impacted by the procurement of clinker from South Africa and Zambia as a way to offset the impact of the
kiln shutdown during a high demand period. Imported clinker, including transport, is more expensive than PPC Zimbabwe's
own clinker manufacturing costs. In addition, the shutdown of the kiln incurred once-off additional maintenance costs,
which negatively impacted the EBITDA margin.

As at 30 September 2022, PPC Zimbabwe held R253 million in hard currency cash.

OUTLOOK
In light of the current economic climate, the group will continue to improve cash generation and operational
efficiencies in an effort to further strengthen its financial position and reduce the impact of rising input cost
inflation. Without a significant increase in infrastructure spending and tangible action against imports, South
Africa's cement demand is expected to remain subdued. PPC South Africa is well positioned to benefit from an increase
in cement demand with additional capacity available to capture an upswing in demand without additional capital
expenditure required. PPC Zimbabwe anticipates a further recovery for the balance of the financial year thereby
restoring its profitability to historical levels and the outlook for CIMERWA remains positive.

COMMENTARY OVERVIEW
Roland van Wijnen, CEO, said: "I am pleased that our strategic initiatives have enabled PPC to maintain its
market-leading position in its core Southern African markets and continue to reduce debt, despite challenging and
competitive trading conditions. We are in a strong financial position to weather the local economic cycle and are well
placed to supply any increase in demand as the roll-out of the South African government's infrastructure development
plans gain momentum. I thank our valued customers for their enduring support. I also thank all my colleagues for their
hard work, commitment, and dedication."

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
PPC delivered a sound performance under challenging operating conditions through continued focus on driving cost
efficiencies and enhancing cash generation to deleverage. The sound group performance was however impacted by
hyperinflation accounting, with the Zimbabwean dollar depreciating 72% against the rand since 31 March 2022 and
distorting the consolidated results. While PPC Zimbabwe continued to generate good cash returns and US$4,4million in
dividends were paid to the group during the period under review, analysing the results excluding PPC Zimbabwe is more
meaningful due to the impact of hyperinflation accounting. The results below are shown both including and excluding the
Zimbabwe operations.

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2022, increased 9% to R4,248 million (September
2021: R3,893 million) supported by period-on-period price increases, while cement volumes were 1% down on the comparable
period. Including the impact of PPC Zimbabwe, which contributes 17% (September 2021: 24%), group revenue decreased by 1%
to R5,103 million (September 2021: R5,131 million).

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe's cost of sales and administration and other operating expenditure for both periods, the cost increase
amounts to 11,3%, which is below input cost inflation experienced in the current six-month period to 30 September 2022.
Including PPC Zimbabwe, cost of sales and administration and other operating expenditure increased by 6,4% to R4,820 million
(September 2021: R4 530 million).

Group EBITDA, excluding PPC Zimbabwe, decreased by 12% toR580 million (September 2021: R658 million) and EBITDA margins
declined to 13,7% (September 2021:16,9%) as higher energy costs and increased competition in PPC's core South African
market compressed margins despite a strong performance in the Rwandan business. Group EBITDA, including PPC Zimbabwe,
declined by 23% to R728 million (September 2021: R945 million).

Fair value and foreign exchange movements resulted in a gain of R82 million (September 2021: R1 million loss), mainly due to
the significant depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar against the United States dollar, which resulted in foreign exchange
gains on net monetary items.

Finance costs decreased by 43% to R84 million (September 2021: R147 million), due to the continued successful de-gearing
of the group and lower interest costs following the implementation of improved facility arrangements in South Africa in
December 2021.

During the current period, the group realised a net profit on the disposal of equity accounted investments of R23 million
(September 2021: Nil) from the sale of Habesha.

Profit from continuing operations before tax, but excluding PPC Zimbabwe, increased by 4% from R250 million to R259 million.
When the impact of PPC Zimbabwe is included, which is inclusive of the net monetary loss of R206 million (30 September 2021:
R440 million gain), the group profit from continuing operations before tax would have decreased from R981 million to
R106 million.

Taxation decreased to R84 million (September 2021: R201 million). The current period effective tax rate was negatively affected
by a once-off de-recognition of a deferred tax asset in PPC Ltd and the impact of PPC Zimbabwe hyperinflation, resulting in an
effective tax rate of 79% (September 2021: 20%).

Earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) decreased respectively from 53 cents to a loss of 3 cents and
from 55 cents to a loss of 5 cents. This is primarily due to the reported EPS and HEPS numbers being impacted as follows:
1. Lower earnings generation in South Africa and Botswana cement and aggregates, readymix and ash segments and PPC Zimbabwe.
2. The full impact of the strong CIMERWA performance not flowing fully to EPS and HEPS given the operations are 51% held by PPC.
3. Hyperinflation accounting in terms of IAS29 for PPC Zimbabwe including a significant negative swing in the net monetary impact
in the income statement from a positive R440 million in the prior period to a negative R206 million in the current period.

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, EPS decreased from 8 cents to 5 cents and HEPS decreased from 10 cents to 4 cents.

Net cash inflow before financing activities remains positive at R319 million (September 2021: R502 million) as cash generation
remains a priority.

Group net debt declined to R677 million on 30 September 2022 (March 2022: R1 009 million) due to positive cash generation and

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2022, increased 9% to R4,248 million (September
2021: R3,893 million) supported by period-on-period price increases, while cement volumes were 1% down on the comparable
period. Including the impact of PPC Zimbabwe, which contributes 17% (September 2021: 24%), group revenue decreased by 1%
to R5,103 million (September 2021: R5,131 million).

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe's cost of sales and administration and other operating expenditure for both periods, the cost increase
amounts to 11,3%, which is below input cost inflation experienced in the current six-month period to 30 September 2022.
Including PPC Zimbabwe, cost of sales and administration and other operating expenditure increased by 6,4% to R4,820 million
(September 2021: R4 530 million).

Group EBITDA, excluding PPC Zimbabwe, decreased by 12% toR580 million (September 2021: R658 million) and EBITDA margins
declined to 13,7% (September 2021:16,9%) as higher energy costs and increased competition in PPC's core South African
market compressed margins despite a strong performance in the Rwandan business. Group EBITDA, including PPC Zimbabwe,
declined by 23% to R728 million (September 2021: R945 million).

Fair value and foreign exchange movements resulted in a gain of R82 million (September 2021: R1 million loss), mainly due to
the significant depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar against the United States dollar, which resulted in foreign exchange
gains on net monetary items.

Finance costs decreased by 43% to R84 million (September 2021: R147 million), due to the continued successful de-gearing
of the group and lower interest costs following the implementation of improved facility arrangements in South Africa in
December 2021.

During the current period, the group realised a net profit on the disposal of equity accounted investments of R23 million
(September 2021: Nil) from the sale of Habesha.

Profit from continuing operations before tax, but excluding PPC Zimbabwe, increased by 4% from R250 million to R259 million.
When the impact of PPC Zimbabwe is included, which is inclusive of the net monetary loss of R206 million (30 September 2021:
R440 million gain), the group profit from continuing operations before tax would have decreased from R981 million to
R106 million.

Taxation decreased to R84 million (September 2021: R201 million). The current period effective tax rate was negatively affected
by a once-off de-recognition of a deferred tax asset in PPC Ltd and the impact of PPC Zimbabwe hyperinflation, resulting in an
effective tax rate of 79% (September 2021: 20%).

Earnings per share (EPS) and headline earnings per share (HEPS) decreased respectively from 53 cents to a loss of 3 cents and
from 55 cents to a loss of 5 cents. This is primarily due to the reported EPS and HEPS numbers being impacted as follows:
1. Lower earnings generation in South Africa and Botswana cement and aggregates, readymix and ash segments and PPC Zimbabwe.
2. The full impact of the strong CIMERWA performance not flowing fully to EPS and HEPS given the operations are 51% held by PPC.
3. Hyperinflation accounting in terms of IAS29 for PPC Zimbabwe including a significant negative swing in the net monetary impact
in the income statement from a positive R440 million in the prior period to a negative R206 million in the current period.

Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, EPS decreased from 8 cents to 5 cents and HEPS decreased from 10 cents to 4 cents.

Net cash inflow before financing activities remains positive at R319 million (September 2021: R502 million) as cash generation
remains a priority.

Group net debt declined to R677 million on 30 September 2022 (March 2022: R1 009 million) due to positive cash generation and
strict capital allocation discipline.

SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT
Increases in sales volumes in the coastal region, due to strong demand and a decrease in imports, were offset by difficult
trading conditions in the inland region. This left cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana down 2,6% period-on-period
for the six months ended September 2022.

The coastal region continues to experience an upswing in cement due to a recovery in industrial construction activity and the
resumption of postponed government projects. In addition, a decrease in cement imports into the Western Cape due to global supply
chain constraints and a weaker rand positively impacted PPC's cement sales volumes to the retail segment.

The inland region saw above-average seasonal rainfall at the beginning of FY23 and a subdued macroeconomic backdrop. This resulted
in a decline in cement sales to both the retail and construction segments. In addition, the recent flooding in the KZN region
lowered cement consumption in that region. As a result, cement destined for that market made its way to the inland region and
thereby intensified the competitive pressures further in an already depressed market. The construction of distribution centres
and housing estates supported cement sales to the industrial segment in the inland region.

PPC estimates that cement and clinker imports decreased by 32% relative to the prior comparable period. Although this
has provided a much-needed respite for the domestic producers, imports threaten the long-term sustainability of the
South African cement industry as domestic cement production capacity exceeds current demand. PPC and other industry
players continue to engage with the relevant authorities on the need to protect the industry from unfair competition.

During the period under review, PPC increased selling prices by an average of 5% and saw a positive impact from changes
in the product mix. It also continued to be successful with its cost-control efforts. However, this was insufficient to
fully recoup the significantly higher fuel and energy costs keeping EBITDA margins under pressure.

For the six months ended September 2022, PPC South Africa and Botswana cement revenue increased by 4% to R2,865 million
(September 2021: R2,753 million), however EBITDA declined by 29% to R368 million (September 2021: R515 million) with a
margin of 12,2%.

Net debt for SA and Botswana declined from R1,075 million at 31 March 2022 to R935 million at 30 September 2022, a de-gearing
of R140 million.

AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
For the six months ended 30 September 2022, the readymix businesses experienced increased demand and market share gains due to
the exit of some competitors from the market. Readymix volumes increased by 5% period-on-period, while aggregates volumes
decreased by 15% period-on-period. In addition, fly ash sales volumes declined by 27% period-on-period from a high base, as ash
sales in the previous period benefited from a lack of alternative extenders such as slag. Overall revenue for the materials
division increased by 2% to R612 million (September 2021: R600 million), due to the increase in sales of readymix. EBITDA reduced
to a loss of R14 million (September 2021: R37 million profit).

INTERNATIONAL
Rwanda
For the six months ended 30 September 2022, CIMERWA's cement sales volumes increased by 11% period-on-period. Increased
demand from government-sponsored infrastructure projects and a resurgence in general building activity aided CIMERWA's
domestic cement sales. In addition, cement exports benefited from sustained demand in the eastern Democratic Republic
of Congo and the expansion of CIMERWA's route-to-market initiatives. Cement volumes also benefited from improved industrial
performance and plant reliability. CIMERWA's efforts to enhance industrial performance and reliability are yielding tangible results.

Revenue in rand for the six months ended 30 September 2022 increased by 43% to R771 million (September 2021: R539 million).
EBITDA increased by 63% to R249 million (September 2021: R153 million) and EBITDA margin improved to 32,3% (September 2021: 28,4%).

CIMERWA also de-geared and ended the period under review with cash holdings of R345 million.

Zimbabwe
Due to a planned kiln shutdown, required for maintenance, PPC Zimbabwe's cement sales volumes declined 13% period-on-period.
However, following the resumption of clinker production at the end of May 2022, PPC Zimbabwe's cement sales volumes improved
in the second quarter of FY23 relative to the first quarter of FY23 with a continued robust cement demand from residential
construction and government-funded infrastructure projects.

PPC Zimbabwe implemented US$ price increases of 5% in March 2022, 2% in April 2022 and a further 5% increase in August 2022 to
recover input cost inflation. Further, PPC observed an increase in foreign currency availability in the Zimbabwean economy, with
over 80% of cement sales occurring in foreign currency during the period under review. PPC received a $3,7 million dividend in
December 2021 and an additional US$4,4 million in dividends in June 2022.

Revenue decreased by 31% to R855 million (September 2021: R1,239 million) due to the impact of the planned kiln
maintenance and the depreciation in the Zimbabwean dollar against the rand. EBITDA declined by 48% to R148 million
(September 2021: R287 million) with a reduced EBITDA margin of 17,3% (September 2021: 23,2%). EBITDA and EBITDA margin
were adversely impacted by the procurement of clinker from South Africa and Zambia as a way to offset the impact of the
kiln shutdown during a high demand period. Imported clinker, including transport, is more expensive than PPC Zimbabwe's
own clinker manufacturing costs. In addition, the shutdown of the kiln incurred once-off additional maintenance costs,
which negatively impacted the EBITDA margin.

As at 30 September 2022, PPC Zimbabwe held R253 million in hard currency cash.

OUTLOOK
In light of the current economic climate, the group will continue to improve cash generation and operational
efficiencies in an effort to further strengthen its financial position and reduce the impact of rising input cost
inflation. Without a significant increase in infrastructure spending and tangible action against imports, South
Africa's cement demand is expected to remain subdued. PPC South Africa is well positioned to benefit from an increase
in cement demand with additional capacity available to capture an upswing in demand without additional capital
expenditure required. PPC Zimbabwe anticipates a further recovery for the balance of the financial year thereby
restoring its profitability to historical levels and the outlook for CIMERWA remains positive.

Trading Statement and Operation Update for the six months ended 30 September 2022

TRADING STATEMENT AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2022

PPC is currently finalising its results for the six months ended 30 September 2022 (“the current
period”).

Roland van Wijnen, chief executive officer of PPC provides the following context:
“The PPC group continues to deliver sound cash generation and deleverage the balance sheet despite
difficult trading conditions in its core South African and Botswana cement market, offset by positive
trading conditions in its Zimbabwe and Rwanda (CIMERWA) operations. To maintain volumes in the
South African and Botswana cement markets, sales price increases were limited to 5% in the period
under review. Key input costs, especially those related to fuel and energy, increased at double-digits
in percentage terms. Whilst various cost mitigation initiatives are underway, these actions take time
to implement, and for the period under review were not able to fully offset cost increases, resulting
in EBITDA margin compression. CIMERWA delivered strong results based on continuous operational
improvements and solid market dynamics. We remain focused on mitigating inflationary cost
pressures as much as possible and being prudent in our capital allocation in this business. As expected,
PPC Zimbabwe’s financial performance was negatively impacted by a planned kiln shut down during
the first quarter but has since recovered and is experiencing robust demand while the business
maintains its ability to repatriate dividends. Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe skews the group’s results and
analysing the group excluding Zimbabwe is therefore more meaningful. Looking forward, we are
encouraged by the recent announcements by SANRAL to award large construction projects in South
Africa as well as the comments on increased infrastructure spending made in the recent mid-term
budget speech of the South African Minister of Finance. PPC is well positioned to benefit from
increased cement demand to support the much-needed construction work across South Africa.”

South Africa and Botswana Cement

Increases in sales volumes in the coastal region due to stronger demand and a decrease in imports
were offset by difficult trading conditions in the inland region leaving cement sales volumes slightly
down overall by 2.6%. Revenues increased by 4% assisted by price increases and product mix. Despite
cost control efforts, margin levels remained under pressure due to significantly higher fuel and energy
costs and decreased from 18.7% to 12.2%. EBITDA decreased from R515 million to R368 million
(28.5%) for the current period. Cash generation remained robust with net debt reducing by R140
million during the current period to R935 million.

CIMERWA

CIMERWA’s volumes increased by 11% and EBITDA increased by 63% to R249 million (September
2021: R153 million), with margins improving period-on-period from 28.4% to 32.3%. CIMERWA also
de-geared and ended the current period with cash holdings of R345 million.

PPC Zimbabwe

Despite robust cement demand from residential construction and government-funded infrastructure
projects, PPC Zimbabwe’s volumes declined period-on-period by 13% due to the planned kiln shut-
down in the first quarter and margins were negatively affected by the use of imported clinker primarily
from PPC South Africa and increased maintenance costs. Volumes, compared to the first quarter,
increased during the second quarter of the current period. The reported numbers are materially
impacted by hyperinflation accounting with reported EBITDA declining 48% to R148 million
(September 2021: R287 million), with margins reducing from 23.2% to 17.3%. PPC observed an
increase in foreign currency availability in the Zimbabwe economy and PPC Zimbabwe paid a dividend
of US$4.4 million to PPC in June 2022. PPC Zimbabwe ended the current period with R253 million in
hard currency cash.

Group

The impact of the above-mentioned factors on the group’s operations resulted in group EBITDA
declining by 23% to R728 million (September 2021: R945 million). Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, with its
related hyperinflation accounting adjustments, EBITDA decreased by 12% compared to the six months
ended September 2021.

The net debt of the group continued to improve, with group net debt reducing to R677 million on 30
September 2022 (March 2022: R1 009 million).

Shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the
expected earnings per share (“EPS”) and headline earning per share (“HEPS”) for the current period
will differ by at least 20% from that for the previous corresponding period, being the six months ended
30 September 2021 ("the prior period") and that a trading statement is required in terms of the JSE
Limited Listing Requirements.

This is primarily due to the reported EPS and HEPS numbers being impacted as follows:

1. Lower earnings generation in South Africa and Botswana cement and aggregates, readymix and
ash segments and PPC Zimbabwe.
2. The full impact of the positive impact of the strong CIMERWA performance not flowing fully to
EPS and HEPS given the operations are 51% held by PPC.
3. Hyperinflation accounting in terms of IAS29 for PPC Zimbabwe including a significant negative
swing in the net monetary impact in the income statement from a positive R440 million in the
prior period to a negative R206 million in the current period.
4. The impact of discontinued operations which resulted in a R153 million positive contribution in
the prior period and a R107 million negative contribution in the current period.


The group accounted for its PPC Lime, Botswana Aggregates and PPC Barnet DRC businesses as
discontinued operations in the prior period while in the current period, PPC Barnet DRC was accounted
for as a discontinued operation up to 29 April 2022 after which it was accounted for as an investment
in an associate.

EPS for the group, including discontinued operations, for the current period is expected to be a loss of
between 7 cents and 11 cents per share, compared to the 61 cents per share profit for the prior period.
Headline loss per share for the current period for the group is expected to be between 4 cents per
share and 8 cents per share, compared to the 42 cents per share profit for the prior period.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based is the responsibility of the directors
of the company and has not been reviewed or reported on by the group's independent external
auditor. Full details of the groups’ performance will be contained in the group’s unaudited interim
financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2022, which are expected to be released
on or about 21 November 2022.

Outlook

In light of the current economic climate, the group will continue to improve cash generation and
enhance operational efficiencies in an effort to further strengthen its financial position and reduce the
impact of rising input cost inflation. Without a significant increase in infrastructure investments,
cement demand in South Africa is anticipated to remain subdued. PPC South Africa is well positioned
to benefit from an increase in cement demand with additional capacity available to capture an
upswing in demand without additional capital expenditure required. PPC Zimbabwe anticipates a
recovery for the balance of the financial year and the outlook for CIMERWA remains positive.

Operating Update for the five months ended 31 August 2022

OPERATING UPDATE FOR THE FIVE MONTHS ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

GROUP PERFORMANCE

For the five months ended August 2022, PPC's group revenues, excluding
Zimbabwe, which is impacted by hyperinflation accounting, increased
by 9%, driven by robust demand in Rwanda. Group cement sales volumes
(including Zimbabwe) for the five months ended August 2022 were in-
line with the previous comparable period as subdued demand in South
Africa and the impact of a maintenance-related kiln shutdown in
Zimbabwe were offset by robust demand growth in Rwanda. In addition,
cash generation remains positive and the group reduced net debt from
31 March 2022 levels.

SOUTH AFRICA & BOTSWANA CEMENT

Cement sales volumes in South Africa and Botswana decreased by 1%
period-on-period for the five months ended August 2022. Cement sales
volumes in the inland region decreased after experiencing a slow start
to FY23, offsetting the high single-digit demand growth in the coastal
areas. Inland cement sales volumes were negatively impacted by above-
average seasonal rainfall and sluggish retail demand at the beginning
of FY23, which was partially offset by increased sales to the
industrial and construction sectors. Cement sales volumes in the
coastal region increased due to a decline in imports in the Western
Cape, a recovery in industrial construction activity and the
resumption of postponed government projects. The average selling price
increased by 5% during the period under review. This was insufficient
to fully offset the impact of input cost inflation as the cash cost
of sales increased by low double-digits in percentage terms. PPC will
continue its efforts to counter input price inflation through price
adjustments, operational efficiencies and improved industrial
performance. Coming off a relatively high EBITDA base in the first
half of FY22, PPC continues to prioritise cash generation by
optimising net working capital and adhering to stringent capital
allocation. This contributed to South Africa and Botswana's gross debt
decreasing from R1.2 billion on 31 March 2022 to R1.0 billion on 31
August 2022.

ZIMBABWE

The cement market in Zimbabwe continued to show robust high single-
digit growth as a result of both residential construction and
government-funded infrastructure projects. PPC Zimbabwe implemented
planned maintenance at the beginning of FY23 and recorded a 7% decline
in cement sales volumes period-on-period.
However, the resumption of clinker manufacturing by PPC Zimbabwe at
the end of May 2022 enabled improved sales volumes in the second
quarter of FY23.
PPC Zimbabwe implemented US$ price increases of 5% in March 2022, 2%
in April 2022 and a further 5% increase in August 2022.
PPC noted increased availability of foreign currency in the Zimbabwean
economy, with more than 70% of cement sales during the period under
review occurring in foreign currency.
PPC received a US$4.4 million dividend in June 2022 and anticipates
an additional dividend to be declared upon the publication of PPC
Zimbabwe's interim results in November 2022.

RWANDA

CIMERWA continues to see strong demand for cement in all its markets,
with cement sales volumes increasing by 16% period-on-period for the
five months ended August 2022. CIMERWA’s domestic cement sales
benefited from increased demand from government-sponsored
infrastructure projects and a recovery in general building activity.
In addition, cement exports benefited from sustained demand in eastern
Democratic Republic of Congo and the expansion of CIMERWA's route to
market initiatives. CIMERWA's efforts to enhance industrial
performance and reliability are beginning to bear fruit with the
benefits reflected in the increase in cement sales volumes.

OUTLOOK

Given the current economic climate, the group will continue to enhance
operational efficiencies to mitigate the impact of rising input cost
inflation. Without a significant increase in infrastructure
investments, cement demand in South Africa is anticipated to remain
subdued. PPC South Africa is well positioned to benefit from an
increase in cement demand with additional capacity available to
capture an upswing in demand without additional capex investment
required. PPC Zimbabwe anticipates a recovery for the balance of the
financial year and the outlook for CIMERWA remains positive.

Short-form announcement
Condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022


Salient features (continuing operations)
- Group revenue R9,9 billion (March 2021: R8,9 billion)
- Group EBITDA R1,5 Billion (March 2021: R1,6 billion)
- Earnings/(loss) per share (5) cents (March 2021: 65 cents)
- Headline earnings/(loss) per share (3) cents (March 2021: 3 cents)
- Cash generated from operations R1,5 billion (March 2021: R1,4 billion)
- The group did not declare a dividend in the current or previous period


Roland van Wijnen, CEO, said:
"Our resilient cash generation demonstrates our focus on one of the most important measures of financial
performance. These results were further supported by our efforts to drive efficiencies which helped mitigate
inflationary pressures. Ultimately, Team PPC was able to reduce net debt by R1,2 billion and finalise the work
to achieve a solid financial position. Furthermore, we have set our decarbonisation strategy in motion and are
committed to tackling climate change head on. I extend my gratitude to all our customers for their continued
support and to my colleagues who have worked diligently to ensure PPC continues to sustain its purpose of
empowering people to experience a better quality of life."

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
The group, in accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale, continues to account for PPC Barnet as a
discontinued operation. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and profit or loss are reported separately in the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. For the year ended 31 March 2021, PPC Barnet, PPC Lime and
Botswana Aggregates were all accounted for as discontinued operations. During the year under review, PPC Lime and
Botswana Aggregates were sold with effect from 30 September 2021 and 16 September 2021 respectively. Regarding PPC
Barnet, binding long-form agreements for the restructure of the senior lender debt were signed on 19 April 2022 and
all the conditions precedent were met on 29 April 2022, from which date PPC will cease to consolidate PPC Barnet.

GROUP PERFORMANCE
Group revenue for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022 increased by 11% to R9 882 million (March 2021: R8 938 million).
Excluding Zimbabwe, group revenue increased by 5%. Revenue in PPC Zimbabwe increased by 34% off the back of a 28%
increase in volumes.

Total costs, being cost of sales together with administration and other operating expenditure, increased by 19% to
R9 360 million (March 2021: R7 887 million). The increase in total costs is significantly affected by an increase in
PPC Zimbabwe's costs of 85%. Other than continuing hyperinflation and the 42% depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar
(ZWL dollar) against the South African rand (ZAR), the most significant line item was an increase in PPC Zimbabwe's
depreciation expense to R386 million (March 2021: R24 million) due to the application of the effective rate method of
hyperinflating depreciation in the current year. Costs, excluding depreciation and PPC Zimbabwe, increased by 7% with
efficiency gains offsetting input cost inflation.

Profit before tax from continuing operations decreased from R1 765 million to R186 million, due to the items set out
below:
- PPC Zimbabwe incurred a loss before tax of R67 million (March 2021: R263 million profit)
- Excluding PPC Zimbabwe's portion, fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements resulted in a gain of
R18 million (March 2021: R148 million loss)
- Impairments of R38 million (March 2021: R1 317 million reversal)
- An IFRS - Share-based payment charge of R36 million (March 2021: R21 million).

Excluding the above in both the current and the prior year, operating profit from continuing operations would have
decreased by R43 million or 11%.

Finance costs decreased by 15% to R240 million (March 2021: R283 million) due to lower average borrowings. Finance
costs in South Africa decreased by 4% to R155 million (March 2021: R161 million), while finance costs in the
international operations decreased by 30% to R85 million (March 2021: R122 million).

The group taxation charge for the year amounts to R207 million relative to a charge of R742 million in March 2021.

Discontinued operations, which include PPC Barnet for the full year and PPC Lime and Botswana Aggregates until
30 September and 16 September 2021 respectively, generated a profit of R158 million (March 2021: R1 141 million loss)
for the year. The most significant change year-on-year was an impairment of R761 million in the prior year compared to
a reversal of R215 million in the current year for PPC Barnet at the consolidated level to reflect the economic
position post the restructuring agreements entered into on 31 March 2021.

Earnings per share (EPS) for the period from continuing operations decreased to a loss of 5 cents (March 2021:
65 cents) while headline earnings per share from continuing operations (HEPS) reduced to a loss of 3 cents (March 2021:
3 cents profit).

Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) decreased by 7% to R1 493 million (March
2021: R1 598 million) with an EBITDA margin of 15,1% (March 2021: 17,9%). Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, the group's EBITDA
from continuing operations decreased by 2%.

Cash generated from continuing operations before working capital changes decreased by 3% to R1 516 million (March 2021:
R1 559 million). Stringent working capital management resulted in cash generated from continuing operations increasing
by 6% to R1 454 million (March 2021: R1 375 million). Cash generation and preservation remains a key performance
measure for PPC.

Net cash outflow from investing activities reduced to R72 million (March 2021: R392 million) mainly due to the receipt
of R503 million in cash from the disposal of PPC Lime and Botswana Aggregates offset to some extent by an increase in
investments in property, plant and equipment of R186 million. Net cash inflow before financing activities improved to
R973 million (March 2021: R972 million).

Gross debt amounted to R1 581 million on 31 March 2022 (March 2021: R2 628 million). The R1 047 million decline in
gross debt comprises a reduction of borrowings in South Africa of R692 million, CIMERWA Limitada (CIMERWA) of
R216 million and PPC Zimbabwe of R139 million.

CEMENT SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA
Cement sales volumes in the region for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022 were in line with the prior year as demand
normalised from a high base. Relative to the 12 months ended 31 March 2020 (pre-COVID-19), cement sales volumes
increased by 5% to 9%. South Africa and Botswana cement sales continue to benefit from demand growth in the informal
and rural markets, albeit at a "normalised" rate following the post-COVID-19 lockdown spike in demand. Cement sales
volumes in the inland region also benefited from pockets of demand from industrial construction and mining activity.
As a result, inland region cement sales volumes exceeded pre-COVID-19 levels. Cement sales volumes in the coastal
region experienced low single-digit year-on-year demand growth due to a partial recovery in industrial construction
demand. However, despite the improvement in demand, cement sales in the region are still below pre-COVID-19 levels.

PPC is well-positioned to benefit from a potential boost in cement demand once the government's infrastructure
programme gathers momentum. However, PPC has yet to experience any meaningful uplift in cement sales from this
programme except for limited road construction and rehabilitation activity. The group can immediately make additional
capacity available to capture any upswing in demand.

Cement and clinker imports, mainly from Vietnam, increased by 19% year-on-year and currently exceeds pre-COVID-19 levels.
PPC estimates that imports account for approximately 10% of RSA cement sales. PPC and the industry continue to engage
with the relevant authorities for relief against unfair competition from imports, which threatens the financial
sustainability of a vital component of the manufacturing and construction sector and erodes the industry's ability to
maintain jobs. PPC is committed to working with all parties within the parameters of the prevailing competition laws to
achieve an expeditious outcome.

PPC implemented average price increases of 4% to 7% year-on-year, which partially offset input cost inflation. However,
realised selling prices increased by 5% year-on-year due to a change in product mix and a depreciation of the Botswana
pula against the South African rand.

For the 12 months ended 31 March 2022, South Africa and Botswana cement revenue increased by 4% to R5 415 million
(March 2021: R5 196 million). Relative to the comparable period in 2020, revenue increased by 12%. EBITDA reduced by
5% to R825 million (March 2021: R866 million) with a margin of 15,2% (March 2021: 16,7%). Both EBITDA and EBITDA margin
were impacted by higher input cost inflation and weaker volumes in the second half of FY22 due to a more normalised
demand and higher than usual rainfall. Relative to March 2020, EBITDA increased by 34,6% and EBITDA margins increased
by 2,6%.

MATERIALS BUSINESS
AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
After experiencing strong demand in the first half of FY22 due to a recovery in construction activity, the materials
business experienced weaker demand in the second half of FY22 as a result of higher than usual rainfall. For the 12
months ended 31 March 2022, sales volumes for the readymix and aggregates businesses increased by 7% and 10%respectively.
Fly ash sales volumes decreased by 17% year-on-year off a high base as ash sales benefited from the shortage of
alternative extenders like slag in the prior period. Relative to the 12 months ended 31 March 2020 (pre-COVID-19),
aggregates and readymix volumes increased by 16% and 3%, respectively, while ash volumes declined by 1%.

Overall, revenue for the materials division increased by 10% to R1 086 million (March 2021: R991 million). Compared to
the 12 months ended 31 March 2020, revenue increased by 5%. EBITDA improved to R41 million (March 2021: R8 million
loss) for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022.

INTERNATIONAL
Zimbabwe
PPC Zimbabwe continues to trade ahead of expectations even though trading conditions remain challenging due to the
macro-economic environment. For the 12 months ended 31 March 2022, cement sales volumes increased by 28% year-on-year
due to retail demand and support from government-funded projects. Relative to the 12 months ended 31 March 2020
(pre-COVID-19), volumes increased by 41%.

Revenue increased by 34% to R2 172 million (March 2021: R1 623 million) as a result of increased cement sales volumes.
Compared to the 12 months ended 31 March 2020 (pre-COVID-19), revenue increased by 17%. PPC Zimbabwe adjusted selling
prices in local currency and US Dollar (US$) to reflect currency depreciation and input cost inflation respectively.
EBITDA for the 12 months ended 31 March 2022 declined by 18,3% to R393 million (March 2021: R481 million) with a reduced
EBITDA margin of 18,1% (March 2021: 29,6%). PPC Zimbabwe incurred additional costs in importing clinker to support
volume growth and offset the impact of a planned and unplanned kiln shutdown during the period. The importation of
clinker, higher maintenance costs and the depreciation of the ZWL dollar against the ZAR negatively impacted EBITDA.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) honoured its obligation to settle PPC Zimbabwe's legacy debt. The debt was
fully repaid during December 2021. PPC Zimbabwe is financially self-sufficient and is focused on cash preservation
and maximising US$ EBITDA. PPC received US$6,2 million in dividends from PPC Zimbabwe in FY22, plus an additional
US$4,4 million in June 2022.

Rwanda
Although COVID-19 related lockdowns unfavourably impacted CIMERWA's cement volumes in the first half of FY22, cement
demand rebounded strongly in the second half post the easing of the lockdown restrictions. Retail demand, exports and
government-funded projects were the main drivers of the rebound in demand.

For the 12 months ended 31 March 2022, cement sales volumes increased by 20% year-on-year while revenues increased by
7% to R1 209 million (March 2021: R1 128 million). Compared to the 12 months ended 31 March 2020, volumes and revenues
increased by 30% and 29%, respectively. The rand strength against the functional currency impacted revenue
contribution. EBITDA of R341 million was in line with the prior comparable period (March 2021: R342 million), while the
EBITDA margin reduced to 28,2% (March 2021: 30,3%).

RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING UPDATE
During the financial year under review, PPC Aggregate Quarries Botswana and PPC Lime Limited were successfully sold and
the South African balance sheet de-geared to acceptable levels. The South African debt facilities were also
re-negotiated to reduce the cost of debt and to ensure an optimal mix of the tenure of the long-term facilities.

Solvency was restored to PPC Barnet's balance sheet through the capitalisation of quasi-equity and historical
deficiency funding loans and subsequent to the year-end the debt restructuring became effective thereby restoring
liquidity to the business.

OUTLOOK
As PPC experiences a normalisation of cement demand in South Africa following the post-COVID-19 spike, the group
will redouble its efforts to improve cost competitiveness through improved industrial performance and operational
excellence. To this end, Mokate Ramafoko, former head of PPC International Holdings (Pty) Ltd, has been appointed as
the group managing director for Industrial and Innovation, reporting directly to the group chief executive officer
(CEO), Roland Van Wijnen. He will be responsible for industrial performance, new business and decarbonisation.
PPC's international operations will be managed by the respective in-country boards.

TRADING STATEMENT

PPC is currently finalising its results for the twelve months ended 31 March 2022 (“the period”). In
terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied with a
reasonable degree of certainty that the financial results for the period to be reported upon will differ
by at least 20% from that for the previous corresponding period, being the twelve months ended 31

In accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale, the group has accounted for its PPC Lime,
Botswana Aggregates and PPC Barnet DRC businesses as discontinued operations.


Earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations for both the period and the prior period is
impacted by material movements in non-cash items, being fair value and foreign exchange
movements, impairments and impairment reversals. In addition, both EPS and headline earnings from
Zimbabwe are impacted by hyperinflation accounting in terms of IAS 29.


EPS for the period from continuing operations is expected to be a loss of between 3 cents and 7 cents
per share, compared to the 65 cents per share profit for the prior period. Headline loss per share for
the period from continuing operations is expected to be between 1 cent and 5 cents per share,
compared to the 3 cents headline earnings per share for the prior period.


EPS for the Group (including discontinued operations) for the period is expected to be between 4 cents
and 6 cents per share, a decrease of between 67% and 50% from the 12 cents per share for the prior
period. Headline loss per share for the period for the Group is expected to be between 12 cents per
share and 15 cents per share, an increase of between 20% and 0% from the 15 cents per share loss for
the prior period.


Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) from continuing operations,
excluding PPC Zimbabwe’s EBITDA, is expected to be between 0% and 4% lower than the prior period
comparable EBITDA.


Cash generated from continuing operations increased by between 4% and 8% relative the prior period.
The financial information on which this trading statement is based is the responsibility of the directors
of the Company and has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group's independent external
auditor.

Operational update for the twelve months ending 31 March 2022 and change to board committee

(Company registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE code: PPC ZSE code: PPC
(“PPC” or “Company” or “Group”)

OPERATING UPDATE FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDING 31 MARCH 2022 AND CHANGES
TO BOARD COMMITTEE

OPERATING UPDATE FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDING 31 MARCH 2022

GROUP PERFORMANCE

PPC expects total Group cement sales volumes for the twelve months
ending 31 March 2022 to increase by 4%-8% year-on-year, with double-
digit volume growth in Zimbabwe and Rwanda. South Africa and Botswana
cement experienced low single digit growth in cement sales as volumes
normalised from a high base. Relative to the twelve months ended 31
March 2020 (Pre-COVID-19), Group cement sales are expected to increase
by 11%-15%. The Group’s materials businesses also experienced a
recovery in demand with year-on-year growth in sales volumes.

SOUTH AFRICA & BOTSWANA CEMENT

PPC expects cement sales volumes in South Africa & Botswana to increase
by 0%-3% year-on-year for the twelve months ending 31 March 2022. The
prior comparable period benefited from strong retail demand due to
increased expenditure on home improvements. Relative to the twelve
months ended 31 March 2020 (Pre-COVID-19), cement sales in South
Africa & Botswana are expected to increase by 5%-9%.

PPC South Africa and Botswana cement sales continue to benefit from
demand growth in the rural and informal markets, albeit at a
“normalised” rate following the post COVID-19 lockdown spike in
demand. Industrial construction activity in the inland area shows
pockets of demand growth from the construction of distribution centres
and the increase in mining activity.

PPC experienced an increase in cement sales in the coastal region with
low single-digit year-on-year demand growth supported by a recovery
in industrial construction demand. However, despite the improvement
in demand, cement sales in the coastal region is still below the
twelve months ended 31 March 2020 (Pre-COVID-19).

PPC has yet to experience any meaningful uplift in cement sales from
the government’s designation related to the use of locally produced
cement on government projects. Except for some limited road
construction and rehabilitation activity, there have been no large
infrastructure projects. PPC is well-positioned to benefit from this
potential boost in cement demand once the infrastructure programme
gathers momentum. PPC can immediately make additional capacity
available to capture an upswing in demand. PPC implemented price
increases to offset input cost inflation with realised selling prices
increasing by 4%-7% year-on-year for the twelve months ending 31 March
2022.

Cement imports, mainly from Vietnam, increased by 11% year-on-year
and currently exceeds pre-COVID-19 levels. PPC estimates that imports
account for approximately 10% of RSA cement sales. In conjunction with
the industry, PPC continues to engage with the relevant authorities
for relief against unfair competition from imports, which threatens
the financial sustainability of a vital component of the manufacturing
and construction sector and erodes the industry's ability to maintain
jobs.

MATERIALS

The readymix and aggregates businesses continue to experience a
recovery in demand supported by a pick-up in construction activity in
the regions in which they operate. For the twelve months ending 31
March 2022, PPC expects readymix volumes to increase by 5%-10% year-
on-year, while aggregates volumes are expected to increase by 10%-14%
year-on-year. Fly ash sales volumes are expected to decrease by 14%-
18% due to an unusually strong performance in the prior year due to
lack of slag in the market. Overall, revenues for the materials
division are expected to increase due to the increase in sales of
readymix and aggregates.

ZIMBABWE

PPC Zimbabwe continues to trade well and ahead of expectations. For
the twelve months ending 31 March 2022, PPC Zimbabwe’s cement sales
volumes are expected to increase by 21%-25% year-on-year, benefiting
from retail demand, increased sales to concrete product manufacturers,
and support from Government-funded projects. Relative to the
comparable period ended 31 March 2020 (Pre-COVID-19), cement sales
volumes are expected to increase by 33%-36%.

RWANDA

CIMERWA experienced an upswing in cement sales in the last six months
following the initiation of anticipated projects such as the
construction of a new airport. For the twelve months ending 31 March
2022, CIMERWA expects cement sales volumes to increase by 18%-20%
year-on-year due to cement demand for critical infrastructure and
housing projects to realise an urbanisation target of 34% by 2024.
Relative to the comparable period ended 31 March 2020 (Pre-COVID-19),
cement sales volumes are expected to increase by 26%-30%.

LIQUIDITY & CASH FLOW

South Africa gross debt declined to R1.2 billion at 28 February 2022
(30 September 2021: R1.7 billion) due to a continued focus on cash
generation and the proceeds from the sale of PPC Lime, and the Botswana
aggregates business.

OUTLOOK

PPC is well-positioned to benefit from growing cement demand in the
territories it operates. The Group remains focused on improving
operational efficiencies to ensure financial sustainability through
all demand cycles.

PPC CAPITAL MARKETS DAY

PPC is hosting a Capital Markets Day today at 10h00 (SA time) at the
Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town. The event will be broadcast live via a

BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN SECURITIES

In terms of paragraph 3.83(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements and section 122(3)(b) of the Companies
Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended, shareholders are advised that PPC has received formal notification
that VCP has disposed of a beneficial interest in the ordinary shares of the Company, such that the
total interest held in PPC now amounts to 13.75% of the total issued ordinary shares of the Company.

TRANSACTION RATIONALE

Through its various funds VCP has been a strategic investor in PPC since August 2017. Since that initial
entry point, VCP has periodically taken advantage of the decline in the PPC share price to increase its
shareholding. Following the rebound in the PPC share price in recent months, PPC has become a
disproportionate share of VCP’s total portfolio. The above transaction forms part of a portfolio
rebalancing to align VCP’s relative exposure in PPC with its overall target asset allocation.

VCP will continue to be represented on the board of directors of PPC and its various sub-committees
by Antony Ball and Nono Mkhondo, who will continue to provide support to PPC as it executes its
strategy to unlock further value for shareholders.

COMMENTARY OVERVIEW
Roland van Wijnen, CEO, said: "Team PPC delivered a solid performance, showing results from our efforts to
reposition the business and ensure financial sustainability. My gratitude goes to all my colleagues who have worked
diligently under stringent health and safety protocols to serve our customers and sustain our purpose of empowering
people to experience a better quality of life. Despite some challenging conditions across our markets, we made
significant progress on our strategic objectives which underpin this achievement. We are also nearing the completion
of our capital restructure without the need for an equity capital raise. Optimising our operational efficiencies to
mitigate increasing input cost pressures and reduce our environmental footprint remains a key focus together with
further enhancing our financial position. PPC will continue to play a meaningful role in helping build the countries
we operate in by reliably and responsibly providing high-quality building materials and services."

GROUP PERFORMANCE - CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Revenue for the six months ended 30 September 2021 increased by 20% to R5 131 million (September 2020: R4 272 million)
supported by a 12% period-on-period increase in cement sales volumes. Compared to the interim period ended September
2019, group revenue increased by 25%.

Excluding the financial results of PPC Zimbabwe, which benefited positively from the effects of hyperinflation
accounting, group revenue increased by 12% period-on-period. Group revenue excluding PPC Zimbabwe, increased by 7%
compared to the interim period ended September 2019.

Cost of sales increased by 24% to R4 004 million (September 2020: R3 241 million). Excluding Zimbabwe's cost of sales
for both periods, the increase amounts to 10% period-on-period which is in line with the increase in cement volumes
excluding Zimbabwe.

Administration and other operating expenditure net of sundry income, increased by 15% period-on-period to R526 million
(September 2020: R458 million) due to higher consultancy and legal fees incurred during the current period on the group
restructuring and refinancing project.

Group EBITDA increased by 13% to R945 million (September 2020: R839 million). Compared to the interim period ended
September 2019, EBITDA increased by 29%. Excluding PPC Zimbabwe, EBITDA increased by 28% compared to the six months
ended September 2020 and 23% compared to the six months ended September 2019. Group operating profit increased by 10%
to R633 million (September 2020: R576 million).

Fair value adjustments and foreign exchange movements resulted in a loss of R1 million (September 2020: R369 million
loss), mainly due to significant depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar (ZWL) against the United States dollar (US$)
of 226% in the comparable period compared to only 4% in the current period.

Fair value gain on the Zimbabwe financial asset amounted to R41 million (September 2020: R139 million). This
consists of intrinsic value gain of R3 million (September 2020: R202 million) and credit risk fair value gain of
R38 million (September 2020: R63 million loss).

During the current period, the group realised a net profit on disposal of subsidiaries of R189 million
(September 2020: nil) from the sale of PPC Lime and PPC Botswana Aggregates.

The application of IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies resulted in a net monetary gain
amounting to R440 million (September 2020: R326 million).

Finance costs decreased by 6% to R147 million (September 2020: R156 million). In South Africa, finance costs
remained constant due to the benefit of lower average borrowings being offset by an increase in interest rates.
International finance costs decreased by 34% due to a decrease in the principal debt balances and a strengthening
of the rand.

Taxation increased to R201 million (September 2020: R110 million) due to improved profitability. Profit for the
period amounted to R969 million (September 2020: R396 million). Headline earnings increased to R786 million
(September 2020: R396 million).

Group basic earnings per share improved by 120% to 66 cents (September 2020: 30 cents) while total group basic
earnings per share including discontinued operations improved by 221% to 61 cents (September 2020: 19 cents).

Group basic headline earnings per share from continuing operations increased by 83% to 55 cents (September 2020:
30 cents).

Net cash inflow before financing activities amounted to R413 million (September 2020: R598 million) - a decrease
of R185 million. However, adjusting for items relating to discontinued operations, net cash inflow before financing
activities from continuing operations decreased by R66 million.

Gross debt declined to R2 319 million on 30 September 2021 (March 2021: R2 628 million) due to cash generation.
Proceeds from the sale of PPC Lime and the aggregates business in Botswana were also used to repay debt after the
period end.

SOUTH AFRICA AND BOTSWANA CEMENT
Cement sales volumes in the region increased by 12% - 15% period-on-period for the six months ended 30 September 2021
benefiting from strong retail demand. Relative to the comparable period in 2019, cement sales in the region increased
by 3% - 6%. Sales to the retail and rural markets continue to outpace other segments of the market.

PPC implemented price increases that partially offset the input cost inflation of 9,2% with realised selling prices
increasing by 4% - 8% year-on-year for the six months ended 30 September 2021. The effect of cost control and the
increased volumes enabled an increase in EBITDA margin.

PPC welcomes the recent classification of locally produced cement as a designated product by the South African
Government. Designation implies that it is no longer permissible to use imported cement on all government-funded
projects. Furthermore, designation is likely to positively impact the local cement industry once the government's
infrastructure roll out programme gathers momentum. PPC views this development as an essential first step in
ensuring the economic sustainability of the South African cement industry, thereby protecting jobs and ensuring that
the sector can play a meaningful role in helping to rebuild the South African economy.

PPC estimates that cement and clinker imports increased by 30% year-on-year for the nine months ended September 2021.
As a result, PPC forecasts that imports will account for approximately 10% of total industry volumes by the end of 2021.

In conjunction with Cement & Concrete SA (CCSA) and other industry players, PPC is awaiting a decision from the
relevant authorities on an application that seeks relief against unfair competition. The application has been updated
to include both clinker and cement. PPC is committed to working with all parties within the parameters of the
prevailing competition laws to achieve a speedy outcome.

For the six months ended September 2021, PPC South Africa and Botswana cement revenue increased by 17% to R2 753
million (September 2020: R2 355 million). Relative to the comparable period in 2019, revenue increased by 8%. EBITDA
improved by 53% to R515 million (September 2020: R337 million) with a margin of 18,7% (September 2020: 14,3%). Both
EBITDA and EBITDA margin benefited from increased cement sales, higher realised prices and stringent cost control.
Relative to the comparable period in 2019, EBITDA increased by 40% and EBITDA margins increased by 4.4%.

AGGREGATES, READYMIX AND ASH
For the six months ended 30 September 2021, the readymix and aggregates businesses experienced increased demand
due to a recovery in construction activity in the respective addressable markets. Readymix volumes increased by 34%
year-on-year, while aggregates volumes increased by 27% year-on-year. Fly ash sales volumes decreased by 7%
year-on-year off a high base as ash sales in the prior period benefited from the shortage of alternative extenders like
slag. Relative to the interim period ended September 2019, readymix and aggregates volumes declined by 17% and 6%,
respectively due to a slower ramp-up of the infrastructure roll out, while fly ash volumes increased by 18%. Overall,
revenue for the materials division increased by 30% to R600 million (September 2020: R461 million), due to the increase
in sales of readymix and aggregates. Compared to the six months ended September 2019, revenue increased by 6%. EBITDA
improved to R37 million (September 2020: R8 million, loss) for the six months ended 30 September 2021.

INTERNATIONAL
Zimbabwe
Despite the challenging macro-economic environment, PPC Zimbabwe continues to trade well and ahead of expectations. For
the six months ended 30 September 2021, PPC Zimbabwe's cement sales volumes increased by 19% year-on-year due to retail
demand, increased sales to concrete product manufacturers, and support from government-funded projects. Relative to the
comparable period in 2019, cement sales volumes increased by 31%.

Revenue increased by 55% to R1,239 million (September 2020: R797 million) supported by the increase in cement sales.
PPC Zimbabwe adjusted selling prices upwards in local currency to reflect input cost inflation. EBITDA declined by 12%
to R287 million (September 2020: R326 million) with a reduced EBITDA margin of 23% (September 2020: 41%). EBITDA was
negatively impacted by additional costs incurred in the importation of clinker to offset the impact of a planned and
unplanned kiln shut down during the period. Furthermore, the kiln shut down resulted in higher maintenance costs. The
rand strengthened significantly by some 83% against the ZWL compared to the prior period and this negatively impacted
the rand EBITDA. In its functional currency (pre-hyperinflation) EBITDA increased by 26%.

PPC Zimbabwe is financially self-sufficient and is focused on cash preservation and maximising US$ EBITDA given the
prevailing economic conditions. Further, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe continues to honour its obligation to settle PPC
Zimbabwe's debt from legacy funds. Management expects the debt to be fully repaid during FY22. During the period under
review, a further dividend of US$3 million was declared of which US$2,7 million was received by PPC.

Rwanda
CIMERWA's cement sales were unfavourably impacted by COVID-19 related lockdowns imposed by the authorities during the
period under review. In addition, the prior comparable period benefited from government infrastructure projects, which
did not reoccur in the current period. As a result, cement sales volumes for the six months ended 30 September 2021
were in line with the prior comparable period. Relative to the same period in 2019, cement sales volumes increased by
10%. Revenue in rand for the six months ended 30 September 2021 declined by 18% to R539 million (September 2020: R659
million) mainly due to rand strength against the functional currency. Relative to the comparable period in 2019,
revenue increased by 5%. EBITDA declined by 27% to R153 million (September 2020: R211 million) and EBITDA margin
reduced to 28,4% (September 2020: 32,0%). A timing difference in plant maintenance impacted EBITDA. CIMERWA incurred
maintenance costs in the current period versus comparable costs being incurred in the second half of FY21. Adjusting
for the timing of the maintenance, EBITDA generation remained at the same level as the comparable period in Rwandan
francs.

GROUP RESTRUCTURING AND REFINANCING PROJECT AND POST REPORTING PERIOD EVENTS
On 29 October 2021, an addendum to the sale and purchase agreement for the sale of PPC Lime was signed in terms of
which R25,1 million of the purchase price was deferred to 31 March 2022 to allow for the conclusion of the
rehabilitation financial provisioning matters. The transaction closed on 29 October 2021 and the purchase price
(excluding the R25,1 million) was received. In total, PPC has received R504 million from the sale of PPC Lime, and the
Botswana aggregates business, which has been used to repay existing debt.

The successful completion of the sale of PPC Lime has eliminated the requirement by the SA lenders for an equity raise.
Pursuant to the term sheets signed with the SA lenders, long-form agreements are progressing well and are expected to
be concluded shortly.

The DRC capital restructuring is progressing, albeit slightly slower than expected. It is now expected that binding
refinancing agreements will be entered into by 30 November 2021 and that the recapitalisation of the PPC Barnet's
balance sheet will occur as a condition subsequent before 31 December 2021. Regardless, subsequent to signing the
binding settlement agreement on 31 March 2021, there is no further recourse by PPC Barnet's lenders to PPC Limited's
balance sheet.

OUTLOOK
Despite the uncertain trading environment and macro-economic backdrop, the group is well-positioned to benefit from
growing cement demand in its markets. PPC will continue to take the necessary measures to mitigate the impact of input
cost inflation, reduce carbon intensity, and enhance its financial resilience.

Trading Statement

PPC Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Company Registration number 1892/000667/06)
JSE ISIN: ZAE000170049
JSE Code: PPC ZSE Code: PPC
("PPC" or "Company" or "Group")


TRADING STATEMENT

PPC is currently finalising its results for the six months ended 30 September 2021 (“the period”). In
terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised that PPC is satisfied that a
reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the period to be reported upon will
differ by at least 20% from that for the previous corresponding period, being the six months ended
30 September 2020 ("the prior period").


In accordance with IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale, the group has accounted for its PPC
Barnet DRC business as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, the assets, liabilities and profit and
loss are reported separately in the financial statements for the six months ended 30 September
2021. The September 2020 comparative figures have been re-presented to separately report the
discontinued operations.


Earnings per share ("EPS") for the period for continuing operations is expected to be between 63
cents and 68 cents per share, an increase of between 110% and 126% from the 30 cents per share
for the prior period. Headline earnings per share for the period for continuing operations is expected
to be between 52 cents and 57 cents per share, an increase of between 72% and 89% compared to
the 30 cents per share for the prior period.


EPS for the Group for the period is expected to be between 58 cents and 63 cents per share, an
increase of between 205% and 231% from the 19 cents per share for the prior period. Headline
earnings per share for the period for the Group is expected to be between 39 cents per share and 44
cents per share, an increase of between 105% and 132% compared to the 19 cents per share profit
for the prior period.


Headline earnings for the group exclude the positive impacts of both a reversal of R100 million of the
impairments of property, plant and equipment raised at 31 March 2021 relating to the PPC Barnet
DRC business and the profit on the sale of the PPC Lime and Botswana Aggregates businesses of
R189 million.

Earnings and headline earnings for both the current and prior periods are impacted by hyperinflation
accounting in terms of IAS 29 - Financial accounting in hyperinflationary economies, resulting in a net
monetary gain of R440 million in the current period compared to R326 million in the prior period.
The financial information on which this Trading Statement is based is the responsibility of the
directors of the Company and has not been reviewed or reported on by the Group's independent
auditor.

The Group's unaudited interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2021 are
expected to be released on or about 22 November 2021.
