A. SELECTED EXPLANATORY NOTES EXTRACTED FROM THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

A.1 SEGMENT INFORMATION

Discovery's operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker (CODM). The CODM has been identified as the Group Executive Committee who makes strategic decisions regarding these businesses.

An operating segment is a component of an entity:

  • (a) That engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity.
  • (b) Whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the entity's CODM to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and
  • (c) For which discrete financial information is available.

An operating segment may engage in business activities for which it has yet to earn revenues, for example, start-up operations may be operating segments before earning revenues.

Discovery will report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of the following quantitative thresholds:

  • (a) Its reported revenue, including both sales to external customers and intersegment sales or transfers, is 10 percent or more of the combined revenue, internal and external, of all operating segments.
  • (b) The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10 percent or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of (i) the combined reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and (ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments that reported a loss; and
  • (c) Its assets are 10 percent or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.

Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable, and separately disclosed, if management believes that information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.

Discovery may combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds to produce a reportable segment only if the operating segments have similar economic characteristics.

The Group has identified its reportable segments based on a combination of products and services offered to customers and the location of the markets served.

A. SELECTED EXPLANATORY NOTES EXTRACTED FROM THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 continued

A.1 SEGMENT INFORMATION continued

The Group Executive Committee assesses the performance of the reportable segments based on normalised profit/loss from operations. Items that are excluded from normalised profit/loss from operations are separately disclosed in the segment information to reconcile to the segment results and Group income statement. The segment information is presented on the same basis as reported to the CODM.

The segment total is then adjusted for accounting reclassifications and entries required to produce results compliant with the IFRS Accounting Standards, i.e. IFRS reporting adjustments. These adjustments include the following:

  • (a) Unit trusts that the Group controls in terms of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements are consolidated into Discovery's results for IFRS purposes. The IFRS reporting adjustments include the effects of consolidating the unit trusts into Discovery's results, effectively being the income and expenses relating to units held by third parties.
  • (b) The effects of eliminating intercompany transactions on consolidation and normalised operating profit adjustments; and
  • (c) The effects of reclassifying items to align to the IFRS Group income statement.

Changes from 1 July 2024

  • In response to the IFRIC decision on the presentation of material items of revenue and expenses for segment information,
    Discovery's internal enhancements to financial reporting, and observations from the JSE Proactive Monitoring process,
    Discovery Group has expanded its segment disclosure. In particular, the adjustments take into account the information
    reviewed by the CODM as well as the required disclosures of specified transactions included in the measurement of
    normalised profit from operations, in compliance with IFRS 8.23.
    As a result, Discovery has implemented the following changes:
  • To reflect material items of income and expense, marketing and administration expenses have been disaggregated to separately present staff costs, which represent a material component of these expenses. The staff costs shown in the segment are net of allocations to the insurance service expense. A separate note (1.1.2) has been included in the segment information for this disclosure.
  • Discovery has included a separate note (1.1.1) to clearly present items of revenue and other income arising from internal transactions with other segments.

To implement the changes as disclosed in note 1.1.1. for internal transactions, Discovery has revised the presentation of intersegment charges, recoveries, revenues, and income:

  • Prior to 1 July 2024 Intercompany recoveries, recharges, other income, and intercompany revenues were offset within
    marketing and administration expenses, with the net expense reflected in the segment.
  • Effective from 1 July 2024 The presentation of these items within segment information now aligns more closely with the financial statements of the respective business lines.
  • These changes have been enabled through the new financial reporting system and required significant development to ensure the accuracy of the information. As permitted by IFRS 8.29, prior-year segment information has not been restated due to the cost and effort required to reperform the changes for the prior period. Refer to Note 1.1.1 for further details, ensuring that the results for the year ended 30 June 2025 are comparable to those for the year ended 30 June 2024.
    1. Prior to 1 July 2024, VCSL was included as part of the UK Health segment alongside Vitality Health. Effective from 1 July 2024 (with restatement of comparative information), VCSL, as the central services company within the UK, has been excluded from the UK Health segment and instead included in All other segments. This treatment aligns VCSL with the treatment of Discovery Central Services. This change, together with the other changes noted earlier, had no impact on the normalised profit from operations for the UK Health segment
    1. The CODM has revised their view of SA Bank costs related to health and lifestyle benefits to align more closely with the treatment in Discovery Bank's separate statutory accounts. These costs were previously disclosed within marketing and administration expenses and are now included within the Net banking fee and commission income of SA Bank. The comparative information has been restated accordingly to reflect this revised treatment resulting in a decrease of R328 million in the Net banking and commission income, with an equal and opposite decrease in marketing and administration expenses. This change in management view had no resultant change in the Group income statement.
    1. Prior to 1 July 2024, the Group Risk portfolio of the CEB business was included within the SA Life segment, while the remainder of the CEB business was reported under All other segments in the segment information. To reflect the operational and managerial alignment of CEB with SA Life's business activities and internal reporting structure, the remainder of CEB business was reclassified to the SA Life segment effective from 1 July 2024. The comparative information has been restated accordingly, resulting in a R67 million decrease in SA Life's normalised profit from operations, with a corresponding increase in All other segments. The change has no impact on the Group's normalised profit from operations.
    1. Prior to 1 July 2024, Vitality Drive International (VDI) was included under All other segments. Effective from 1 July 2024 (with no restatement of comparative information), VDI has been reclassified to the SA Insure segment. This reflects the strategic integration of VDI within Discovery Insure's international expansion and incentive-based behaviour programme, aligning the reporting structure with operational responsibility and performance oversight. Discovery Insure's previously published normalised profit from operations has not been restated as the effect was immaterial in the prior period
    1. From 1 July 2024, SA Invest amended the presentation of specified income tax expenses within its business line to improve the usefulness of the information provided and to enhance comparability with peers in the market. Within its normalised profit from operations, SA Invest now includes tax expenses specific to policyholder tax funds that are directly chargeable to, or recoverable from, policyholders. These are also often referred to as 'policyholder taxes' or 'contract holder taxes'. The comparative information has been restated to reflect this revised presentation.

Notes to the form of proxy

SUMMARY OF SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS IN RESPECT OF PROXY APPOINTMENTS AS CONTAINED IN SECTION 58 OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2008

Please note that in terms of section 58 of the Companies Act:

  • This form of proxy must be in writing, dated and signed by the shareholder appointing the proxy.
  • You may appoint an individual as a proxy, including an individual who is not a shareholder of the Company, to participate in, and speak and vote at, the AGM, on your behalf.
  • Your proxy may not delegate his/her authority to act on your behalf to another person.
  • This form of proxy must be delivered to the Company, or to the Company's transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, before your proxy exercises any of your voting rights as a shareholder at the AGM. Any form of proxy not received by the Company or the Company's transfer secretaries must be handed to the Chairperson of the AGM before your proxy may exercise any of your voting rights as a shareholder at the AGM.
  • The appointment of your proxy or proxies will be suspended at any time to the extent that you choose to act directly in person in the exercise of any of your rights as a shareholder at the Annual General Meeting.
  • The appointment of your proxy is revocable unless you expressly state otherwise in this form of proxy.
  • As the appointment of your proxy is revocable, you may revoke the proxy appointment by – (i) cancelling it in writing or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy; and (ii) delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the Company. Please note that the revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of your proxy's authority to act on your behalf as of the later of the date stated in the revocation instrument, if any, or the date on which the revocation instrument was delivered to the proxy and the Company as aforesaid.
  • If this form of proxy has been delivered to the Company, as long as that appointment remains in effect, any notice that is required by the Companies Act or the MOI to be delivered by the Company to you must be delivered by the Company to you or your proxy or proxies, if you have directed the Company to do so, in writing, and paid any reasonable fees charged by the Company for doing so.
  • Your proxy is entitled to exercise, or abstain from exercising, any voting rights of yours without direction at the AGM, except to the extent that this form of proxy provides otherwise.
  • The appointment of your proxy remains valid only until the end of the AGM or any adjournment or postponement thereof, unless it is revoked by you before then on the basis set out above

EXPLANATORY NOTES

    1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or more proxy or proxies to attend, participate in and speak and vote in his/her stead at the AGM. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Satisfactory identification must be presented by any person wishing to attend the AGM, as set out in the notice of AGM (to which this form of proxy is included).
    1. Every shareholder present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the AGM of the Company will, on a show of hands, have one vote only, irrespective of the number of shares such shareholder holds, but in the event of a poll, each shareholder will be entitled to one vote in respect of each ordinary share in the Company held by him/her.
    1. Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares in the Company and are registered in their own names are shareholders who appointed Computershare Custodial Services as their CSDP with the express instruction that their uncertificated shares are to be registered in the electronic sub-register of shareholders in their own names.

INSTRUCTIONS ON SIGNING AND LODGING THE FORM OF PROXY

    1. A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder's choice in the space/s provided overleaf, with or without deleting "the Chairperson of the AGM", but any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder. Should this space be left blank, the Chairperson of the AGM will exercise the proxy. The person whose name appears first on the form of proxy and who is present at the AGM will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
    1. A shareholder's voting instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of an "X" or the number of votes exercisable by that shareholder in the appropriate spaces provided overleaf. An "X" in the appropriate box indicates the maximum number of votes exercisable by that shareholder. Failure to do so will be deemed to authorise the proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the AGM, as he/she thinks fit in respect of all the shareholder's exercisable votes. A shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by his/her proxy, but the total number of votes cast, or those in respect of which abstention is recorded, may not exceed the total number of votes exercisable by the shareholder or by his/her proxy.
    1. A minor must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian unless the relevant documents establishing his/her legal capacity are produced or have been registered by the transfer secretaries.
    1. Proxy Forms and Letters of Representation may be emailed to [email protected].

Any forms of proxy not received by this time must be handed to the Chairperson of the AGM immediately prior to the commencement of the AGM before your proxy may exercise any of your rights as a shareholder at the AGM.
    1. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy unless previously recorded by the transfer secretaries of the Company or waived by the Chairperson of the AGM.
    1. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending the AGM and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy or proxies appointed in terms hereof, should such shareholder wish to do so.
    1. Where two or more persons are registered as the holders of any security they will be deemed to hold that security jointly, and any one of the joint holders of any security conferring a right to vote on any matter may vote either personally or by proxy, at any meeting in respect of that security, as if he were solely entitled to exercise that vote, and if more than one of those joint holders is present at any such meeting, either personally or by proxy, the joint holder, who tenders a vote (including an abstention) and whose name stands in the securities register before the other joint holders whom are present, in person or by proxy, will be the joint holder who is entitled to vote in respect of that security.
    1. The completion of any blank spaces overleaf need not be initialled. Any alterations or corrections to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory/ies.
