LIFE HEALTHCARE UNAUDITED GROUP RESULTS 2018 9 Commentary Overview The Group s results for the six months ended 31 March 2018 reflect a good performance from the southern African operations with a return to positive paid patient day (PPD) growth, an excellent turnaround in the Scanmed S.A. (Scanmed) operations in Poland and a solid performance from Alliance Medical Group Limited (Alliance Medical) in a changing UK environment. Group revenue grew by 17.5%, normalised EBITDA increased by 10.5% and headline earnings per share is up 116.5%. Operational review Southern Africa Revenue from the southern African operations increased by 9.7% to R8.4 billion (: R7.6 billion). Revenue in hospitals and complementary services grew by 7.9%. The business benefited from the 2.0% increase (:-1.0%) in PPDs and a higher revenue per PPD of 6.0%, made up of a 5.9% tariff increase and a 0.1% positive case mix impact. The overall weighted occupancy for the period remained relatively constant at 68.3% (: 68.4%), with 88 brownfield expansion beds being added. Complementary services continues to reflect good growth across its different business lines with revenue increasing by 15.3%. Healthcare services benefited from the acquisition of an occupational health and wellness business in October as well as the return of 700 Gauteng mental health patients. Normalised EBITDA increased by 5.8% with an EBITDA margin of 25.0% for the period. This is in line with the margin from H2 (25.0%) but was lower than H1 (26.0%). The EBITDA margin was affected by higher salaries, an increase in the clinical division costs, healthcare services growth occurring within the context of lower EBITDA margins and the positive impact of a change in case mix. The Group continues to focus on its quality outcomes with both the overall patient experience score improving and the patient incident rate declining, reflecting an improvement in the clinical outcomes. Group
LIFE HEALTHCARE UNAUDITED GROUP RESULTS 2018 10 Commentary continued Alliance Medical Alliance Medical s revenue increased by 56.3% to R2.3 billion (: R1.5 billion) and normalised EBITDA increased by 26.3% to R518 million (: R410 million) as a result of the inclusion of the six months results in H1 2018 (H1 : 4.3 months). On a like-for-like basis revenue grew by 7.2% on the back of strong growth in PET-CT volumes, the acquisition of Life Radiopharma Group in northern Europe in H2 and solid underlying performance in Italy and Ireland. The EBITDA margin declined to 23.1% (: 27.7%) on a like-for-like basis, impacted by increased competition affecting prices in the UK mobile market, upfront costs on the PET-CT contract as the final static sites are rolled out, faster growth in northern Europe which comes off a lower EBITDA margin, as well as the loss of the BMI contract in the UK. The focus in the UK continues to be partnership solutions with hospital trusts, progressively moving away from mobile infrastructure to static long-term facilities and contracts. Alliance Medical opened its first community diagnostic centre (CDC) in March and has contracts signed with an additional nine trusts. Poland Scanmed revenue for the period increased by 21.5% to R644 million (: R530 million). Normalised EBITDA increased by more than 100% to R60 million (: R27 million) with the EBITDA margin increasing to 9.3% (: 5.1%). These strong results are primarily as a result of the business turnaround driven by the management team and the continued integration and efficiency initiatives. In addition, new four-year NFZ contracts covering 95% of the Scanmed business have been concluded at improved average pricing. The prior period also included a downward adjustment to EBITDA of R23 million mainly relating to overquota revenue. India Max Healthcare Institute Limited (Max Healthcare) reported disappointing results for the six months to March 2018 with the business negatively impacted by the Shalimar Bagh incident in December resulting in a knock-on effect on the balance of the Delhi business. In addition, the increased regulatory environment negatively impacted EBITDA margins. The impact on the Group for the period is a R67 million loss compared to a loss of R12 million in. Management The Group is in the process of strengthening its Group executive structure. Dr Shrey Viranna was appointed Group CEO on 1 February 2018 and since then Brett Mill and Tanya Little have been appointed in executive roles focusing on Group integration, business development and analytics. Financial performance Group revenue increased by 17.5% to R11.3 billion (: R9.6 billion) consisting of a 9.7% increase in southern African revenue to R8.4 billion (: R7.6 billion); R2.3 billion (: R1.5 billion) revenue contribution from Alliance Medical; and R644 million (: R530 million) revenue contribution from Poland. Normalised EBITDA¹ increased by 10.5% to R2.7 billion (: R2.4 billion). 1 Life Healthcare defines normalised EBITDA as operating profit before depreciation on property, plant and equipment, amortisation of intangible assets and non-trading related costs and income.

LIFE HEALTHCARE UNAUDITED GROUP RESULTS 2018 13 Scrip Distribution and Cash Dividend alternative 1. Introduction The board has declared an interim distribution for the period ended 31 March 2018, by way of the issue of fully paid Life Healthcare Group Holdings Limited ordinary shares of 0.0001 cent each (the Scrip Distribution) payable to ordinary shareholders (Shareholders) recorded in the register of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date, being Friday, 22 June 2018. Shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their shareholding, to elect to receive a gross cash dividend of 38 cents per ordinary share in lieu of the Scrip Distribution, which will be paid only to those Shareholders who elect to receive the cash dividend, in respect of all or part of their shareholding, on or before 12:00 on Friday, 22 June 2018 (the Cash Dividend). The Cash Dividend has been declared from income reserves. A dividend withholding tax of 20% will be applicable to all Shareholders not exempt therefrom after deduction of which the net Cash Dividend is 30.4 cents per share. The new ordinary shares will, pursuant to the Scrip Distribution, be settled by way of capitalisation of the Company s distributable retained profits. The Company s total number of issued ordinary shares is 1 463 979 823 as at 31 May 2018. The Company s income tax reference number is 9387/307/15/1. 2. Terms of the Scrip Distribution The Scrip Distribution will be done at a 2.5% discount to the 15-day volume weighted average price (VWAP). The number of Scrip Distribution shares to which each of the Shareholders will become entitled pursuant to the Scrip Distribution (to the extent that such Shareholders have not elected to receive the Cash Dividend) will be determined by reference to such Shareholder s ordinary shareholding in Life Healthcare Group Holdings Limited (at the close of business on the Record Date, being Friday, 22 June 2018) in relation to the ratio that 38 cents multiplied by 1.025 bears to the VWAP of an ordinary Life Healthcare Group Holdings Limited share traded on the JSE during the 15-day trading period ending on Thursday, 7 June 2018. Where the application of this ratio gives rise to a fraction of an ordinary share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in allocations of whole ordinary shares and a cash payment for the fraction. The applicable cash payment will be determined with reference to the VWAP of an ordinary Life Healthcare Group Holdings Limited share traded on the JSE on Wednesday, 20 June 2018, (being the day on which an ordinary Life Healthcare Group Holdings Limited share begins trading ex the entitlement to receive the Scrip Distribution or the Cash Dividend alternative), discounted by 10%. The applicable cash payment will be announced on Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) on Thursday, 21 June 2018. Details of the ratio will be announced on the SENS of the JSE in accordance with the timetable that follows. Group

LIFE HEALTHCARE UNAUDITED GROUP RESULTS 2018 15 Outlook Southern Africa In southern Africa, the Group expects PPDs to continue to grow in line with H1 2018 with continued good growth in complementary and healthcare services. The Group will continue to take a cautious approach with regard to bed expansion, aiming to add up to 20 brownfield expansion beds, bringing the total number of beds added in 2018 to approximately 110. Capex for the year is expected at approximately R1.3 billion. The Group will continue to focus on improving the patient experience as well as the clinical outcomes and driving operational efficiency. Alliance Medical Alliance Medical will continue to execute on its growth strategies in both existing territories and new potential markets. In the UK, the focus will be on moving to longer-term contracts and on CDC opportunities as the competitive environment in the mobile business is expected to remain. The good growth in PET-CT volumes is expected to continue in H2. Italy will continue to focus on growing its clinic business. Capex for the year, including acquisitions is expected to be approximately R1.5 billion. Poland Prospects for Scanmed have improved on the back of the new four-year contracts with NFZ. The Group will continue to focus on driving further efficiencies and aligning the business to the Group s best operating practices. The effects of these plans, implemented to sustain growth and manage costs, will be seen over a reasonable period of time. Capex for the year is expected at approximately R53 million. India Max Healthcare will continue to focus on operational efficiencies and cost optimisation to mitigate the regulatory impact as well as focusing on improving revenue from its preferred business channels. Discussions regarding the sale of the Life Healthcare equity in Max Healthcare are in progress. Further cautionary Further to the cautionary announcement on SENS on 5 April 2018, shareholders are advised that the Company is still in discussions to dispose of its equity interest in Max Healthcare. The transaction, if successfully concluded, may have a material effect on the price of the Company s shares. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in the Company s shares until a further announcement is made. Trading statement for the 12 months ended 30 September 2018 Life Healthcare s results for the 12 months ended 30 September 2018 are expected to show an increase of at least 20% in EPS (minimum increase of 12.4 cps to at least 74.6 cps) and at least 20% in HEPS (minimum increase of 15.5 cps to at least 92.9 cps) from reported EPS and HEPS for the financial year ended 30 September (EPS: 62.2 cps and HEPS: 77.4 cps). This is primarily due to the inclusion of Alliance Medical for 12 months (: 10.3 months), the non-recurring impact of the transaction costs as well as the funding costs related to the Alliance Medical acquisition and the impairment of Poland in.
