SALES UPDATE AND TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022

Franchised restaurant sales

The group achieved a strong trading performance for the year, following a recovery from the impact of the
global COVID-19 pandemic in the past two years.

Franchised restaurant sales for the year ended 30 June 2022 are 28.2% higher than the prior financial year,
and are pleasingly slightly ahead of the 2019 financial year pre-pandemic levels.

Following the relaxation of trading restrictions, trading conditions improved from August 2021 with
franchised restaurant sales in the first half of the 2022 financial year growing by 28.3% over the prior
comparable period to December 2020.

This strong growth trend continued into the second half of the 2022 financial year, with a 28.5% increase in
local restaurant sales and a 24.7% increase in international restaurant sales over the second half of the 2021
financial year.

Although economic conditions remain challenging in the face of higher inflation and severe pressure on
consumer disposable income, the group’s business model continues to demonstrate its resilience. The group
continued to focus on increased brand awareness, everyday value and consumer convenience, including
takeaways, click and collect services and third-party deliveries.

In addition, the close collaboration and partnership with the franchise network enabled several ongoing
strategic initiatives to be implemented during the year, including supply chain improvements.

Group revenue and profit

The improved trading performance together with a focus on expanding margins, as well as the reduced level
of financial support required by franchisees post pandemic, led to a strong recovery in both group revenue
and profit.

The earnings growth for the year includes the effect of the following material once-off and unusual items:

    •   the prior year’s earnings includes the consolidation of a net marketing fund surplus of R24 million
        which did not occur in the current year; and
    •   a once-off cost against earnings in the current year of R22 million, which was previously paid to the
        South African Revenue Service, as reported on SENS on 18 October 2021.
