Key Performance Indicators (R million unless otherwise stated) 30 June 2026 30 June 2025 change Life APE sales 7 857 6 470 21% Gross flows 128 911 106 759 21% Net client cash flow (3 128) (10 125) 69% Gross written premiums 14 934 14 511 3% Value of new business 569 432 32% Value of new business margin (%) 1.4 1.3 10 bps Net underwriting margin-Old Mutual Insure (%) 7.6 9.7 (210 bps) Sales and flows Life APE sales increased by 21%, mainly driven by strong group risk and annuity sales in Old Mutual Corporate as well as higher living annuit y and endowment sales in Wealth Management. Old Mutual Africa Regions also delivered strong growth across both retail and corporate sales. Excluding Old Mutual Corporate risk sales secured in the current period, which are not expected to recur at the same level in the second half of the year, Life APE sales increased by 12%. Gross flows increased by 21%, primarily driven by strong inflows in Wealth Management, particularly in the local platform business and the inclusion of 10X Investments. Old Mutual Investments also delivered higher inflows, reflecting improved third-party client activity across key investment capabilities. In Old Mutual Africa Regions , growth was driven by strong money market inflows in Malawi, together with improved unit trust flows in East Africa.

2 Net client cash flow improved, driven by the strong gross flows during the period and the non-repeat of low-margin indexation outflows in Old Mutual Investments that were reported in the prior period. Gross written premiums increased by 3%, supported by growth in Old Mutual Insure , partially offset by the effects of currency movements and lower renewals as a result of underwriting management actions in Old Mutual Africa Regions. Margins The value of new business and value of new business margin improved, due to higher sales volumes and a more profitable new business mix in Wealth Management, Old Mutual Corporate and Old Mutual Africa Regions, despite lower guaranteed annuity volumes in Personal Finance. Despite the elevated catastrophe losses during the period, the net underwriting margin in Old Mutual Insure remained at the upper-end of the medium-term target range of 5%–8%, with underwriting profitability supported by disciplined underwriting, effective claims management and a diversified portfolio. Trading statement for the six months ended 30 June 2026 Investors are advised that Old Mutual is currently in the process of finalising its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026, which will be released on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited on Tuesday, 8 September 2026. This trading statement provides an indication of a range for headline earnings per share and earnings per share in terms of paragraph 6.26 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements compared to the prior period. Results from operations per share, adjusted headline earnings per share, headline earnings per share and basic earnings per share growth benefited from the share repurchase programme implemented in 2025 (completed at the beginning of May 2026) which contributed to a reduction in the adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares to 4 179 million at 30 June 2026 (4 352 million at 30 June 2025). Investors are advised that the Group’s key profit measures are expected to be within the ranges outlined below: Key Performance Indicators (R million unless stated otherwise) Estimated % change Estimated 30 June 2026 Results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 Results from operations (1) 2% to 12% 5 039 to 5 533 4 940 Results from operations per share (cents) (2) 6% to 16% 120.3 to 131.7 113.5 Adjusted headline earnings (3) -35% to -25% 2 733 to 3 153 4 204 Adjusted headline earnings per share (cents) (2) -32% to -22% 65.7 to 75.3 96.6 Headline earnings -11% to -1% 3 704 to 4 120 4 162 Headline earnings per share (cents) -6% to 4% 91.6 to 101.4 97.5 IFRS profit after tax attributable to equity holders of the parent (IFRS profits) -10% to 0% 3 692 to 4 102 4 102 Basic earnings per share (cents) -5% to 5% 91.3 to 100.9 96.1 (1) Results from operations is the primary measure of the operating business performance of the Group’s segments

3 (2) Results from operations per share and adjusted headline earnings per share are calculated with reference to the adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares. The weighted average number of shares is adjusted to reflect the Group's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment shares (3) Adjusted headline earnings is the Group’s primary profit metric Growth in results from operations was primarily driven by stronger revenue in Wealth Management and Old Mutual Investments , supported by a higher average base of assets under management and administration, as well as lower central costs. This was partially offset by lower underwriting earnings in Old Mutual Insure relative to the strong prior period as well as the investments to scale Old Mutual Banking. The growth in r esults from operations in our life businesses were impacted by negative economic variances in the current period following positive variances in the prior period . Underlying growth in results from operations, adjusting for the period-on-period impact of economic variances was robust, benefiting from strong operational delivery during the period. The decrease in a djusted headline earnings was driven by lower shareholder investment returns compared to the prior period. The performance of the shareholder portfolio followed the performance of the Equity and Bond Indices over the period. This should be seen against sharp risk-off conditions driven by ongoing geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East which have negatively impacted equity and bond performance. Headline earnings and IFRS profits benefited from a strong performance in Zimbabwe which is not included in adjusted headline earnings.
