UNAUDITED INTERIM RESULTS AND CASH DIVIDEND DECLARATION FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
FirstRand's portfolio of integrated financial services businesses comprises FNB, RMB, WesBank and Aldermore. The group operates in South Africa, certain markets in
sub-Saharan Africa and the UK, and offers a universal set of transactional, lending, investment and insurance products and services.
"This is a respectable performance from the group, with ROE at 20.1% rising further into the group's stated range of 18% to 22%.
Economic profit has rebounded strongly and pre-provision operating profit growth was robust at 6%.
Balance sheet strength is demonstrated in the healthy capital and liquidity levels, and conservative provisions have been maintained.
The group's operating businesses, FNB, RMB, WesBank and Aldermore, are well positioned to further capitalise on the economic recovery."

OVERVIEW OF RESULTS
When interpreting the results for the six months to 31 December 2021, the comparative period still represents a low base given the prevailing impact of the Covid-19
pandemic. The high level of impairments and reduced volumes resulted in a significantly depressed performance for that six-month period.
The 43% increase in the group's normalised earnings compared to the six months to 31 December 2020 was mainly driven by the unwind of provisions which reflects
the economic recovery across the jurisdictions in which the group operates.
Pleasingly, at 20%, the group's normalised ROE has tracked further into its stated range of 18% to 22%. The group produced R4 557 million of economic profit
(December 2020: R437 million), or net income after cost of capital (NIACC), which is its key performance measure.
The group's Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) ratio increased to 13.6% (December 2020: 12.4%) and the group is paying a dividend at the bottom end of its cover range
(56% payout).

The group delivered robust pre-provision operating profit growth of 6% period-on-period.
The composition reflects outcomes emerging from specific investment strategies implemented by Group Treasury and credit origination strategies executed by the
operating businesses, within a defined group risk appetite anchored to the South African macroeconomic dynamics, normalising operating environment and emerging
credit cycle.
The movements in Group Treasury's profits, reflected in the table as the Centre, continued as expected given the financial resource management (FRM) strategies
implemented during the pandemic. The period-on-period positive swing was driven by asset and liability management (ALM) strategies, including the management of
liquidity, interest rate risk and foreign exchange mismatch positions. In addition, certain one-off income further boosted overall performance.
Regarding the operating businesses, FNB's pre-provision operating profit performance mainly reflects the credit origination approach in the retail segment to focus on
better-quality, lower-risk credit customers. This impacted net overall credit origination volumes and resulted in subdued net interest income (NII) growth. In addition, the
stronger growth in residential mortgages relative to unsecured resulted in margin pressure.
This NII drag was to some degree offset by solid growth in transactional volumes due to the strong economic rebound and continued customer acquisition. Absolute NIR
growth was impacted by certain fee reductions on the back of new customer propositions as FNB responded to competitive pricing in certain customer subsegments.
FNB remains the largest gatherer of SA retail deposits. This financial capacity also contributed to Group Treasury's pre-provision operating profit as the deposit funding
replaced institutional funding, lowering the cost of funds for the group. With growth in customer deposits exceeding growth in advances, Group Treasury further invested
into treasury bills and other high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) investments, boosting NII.
WesBank's pre-provision operating profit was also impacted by muted advances growth, in part due to an origination tilt to better-quality, lower-risk customers. In addition,
there was a mix shift to a higher proportion of floating-rate loans, reducing new business margins.
The reduction in RMB's pre-provision operating profit was mainly from pressure on NII due to subdued credit demand from the corporate sector. Whilst core advances
grew 6% period-on-period, average advances decreased. RMB continued to be disciplined on pricing to protect returns. This considered origination approach offset a
rebound in NIR given a solid performance from markets.
The group believes this approach will ensure that the customer-facing businesses will capture a higher market share of better-quality, lower-risk business, whilst satisfying
the credit demand from customers as incomes recover from the effects of the pandemic.
Costs continue to be a focus, and 4% growth period-on-period is pleasing. The cost trend does include important investment strategies, which will support future growth
and returns. In addition, whilst structural costs are receiving ongoing attention, certain of these will re-emerge in the short to medium term as the working environment
adjusts post pandemic.
Aldermore delivered growth in pre-provision operating profit in pound terms. This was driven by better-than-expected new business origination in the commercial
business, off the back of a stronger rebound in the UK economy than had been predicted. Good growth in customer savings resulted in a lower cost of funding which
provided further support to NII. Cost pressures remained given ongoing investment.
MotoNovo NII benefited from lower cost of funds and increased new business origination due to the improving economic environment. Total pre-provision operating profits
were, however, impacted by provisions raised for certain operational events.
REVENUE AND COST OVERVIEW
Overall group NII increased 5% period-on-period with some support from a return to growth in advances and continued strong deposit growth. NII was further supported
by increased capital balances. The growth from the group's deposit franchises resulted in lower institutional funding requirements and, consequentially, lower funding
spreads.
Net interest margin (NIM) improved 10 bps to 4.37% (including Aldermore). This was mainly due to ALM strategies and positive capital endowment.
FNB delivered retail and commercial advances growth of 1% and 9% respectively. Retail advances growth remained muted as FNB's origination focused on lower-risk
customers. Commercial advances grew strongly in line with a focus on specific sectors. Deposit growth benefited from ongoing momentum in savings and investment
products, and particularly good growth from the commercial segment. Overall FNB rest of Africa advances remained flat although deposits grew strongly, up 10% (5% in
local currency).
RMB's core advances growth of 6% reflects improved underlying client demand in the latter part of the reporting period. Deposit growth of 3% remained healthy, with
some margin contraction primarily due to the low-rate environment across all jurisdictions.
WesBank advances declined as the business continued to focus on lower-risk origination against a highly competitive lending environment. Advances further declined due
to the high level of non-performing loan (NPL) write-offs, whilst performing advances continued to grow.
Advances in the UK operations increased marginally, supported by some growth in vehicle asset finance (VAF), and strong growth in business finance. Retail mortgages
contracted off the back of higher redemptions and continued competition.

Total group operational non-interest revenue (NIR) increased 5%. This was supported by 3% growth in fee and commission income and 14% growth in trading and fair
value income, but partly offset by a 7% decline in insurance income.
FNB's NIR increased 4%, benefiting from good growth (+12%) in transactional volumes and customer growth of 3%.
The reduction in insurance income was mainly due to the ongoing economic impact of the pandemic, resulting in an increase in mortality and retrenchment claims and
provisions raised. This was partly offset by growth in premiums of 11% driven by healthy sales of life and short-term products.
RMB's NIR grew 7%, with trading activities producing a resilient performance, driven by the equities, foreign exchange and commodities desks. Private equity also
delivered annuity income growth of 5% as the underlying portfolio companies started to benefit from the economic recovery.
Growth in operating expenses for the group was contained at 4%, reflecting the continued focus on cost management across the business. It was also achieved despite
ongoing investment in:
- insurance and asset management;
- build-out and consolidation of the domestic enterprise platform;
- build-out of the group's footprint and platform in the rest of Africa; and
- process and system modernisation in the UK business.
Additional costs associated with managing employee and customer well-being on premises and in branches, and the facilitation of remote working for a significant
proportion of employees, continue to be incurred. The cost-to-income ratio improved marginally to 52.4% (December 2020: 52.8%).
CREDIT PERFORMANCE
FirstRand's credit performance continues to reflect positive underlying trends supported by the improving macroeconomic forward-looking outlook, with positive revisions
to key economic variables compared to June 2021.
Advances growth for the six months ended 31 December 2021 was driven by the residential mortgage, corporate and commercial portfolios in SA and vehicle finance in
the UK. Retail unsecured and SA VAF growth, however, remained subdued. The composition of advances also reflects positive trends as stage 2 and 3 advances continue
to contract.
Despite this general improvement, FirstRand believes maintaining conservative balance sheet provision stock is appropriate given ongoing uncertainties, rising inflation,
increasing interest rate pressure and the settlement of the revised debit order process. Management retained the stress scenario albeit at a lower weighting. Overall
performing coverage decreased to 1.83% from 1.91% at June 2021, reflecting the improving macro environment combined with the change in mix with lower arrear
stage 2 advances.
NPLs have decreased 11% since December 2020, and 10% since June 2021. NPLs as a percentage of advances decreased to 4.02% (December 2020: 4.80%;
June 2021: 4.76%) benefiting from the cure of paying NPLs, slower inflow given conservative origination strategies, strong collections and advances growth.
This drove the 57% reduction in the overall impairment charge to R4.0 billion (December 2020: R9.4 billion) as analysed in the following table. The credit loss ratio of
73 bps excluding the UK operations (61 bps for the total group) remained below the through-the-cycle range of 100 bps to 110 bps.

** Net interest recognised on stage 3 advances of R1 630 million (December 2020: R1 662 million; June 2021: R3 369 million) is excluded from write-off and other
and included in the NPL provision.
The above table demonstrates the move in impairments on a rolling six-month view, based on movements in the balance sheet. The R627 million portfolio provision
increase reflects advances growth and judgemental out-of-model provisions recognised, which offset the improvement in macro assumptions, and the release of
Covid-19-related provisions. Refer to pages 204 to 210 of the online version of the results booklet for the updated forward-looking information (FLI) and scenario
weightings. Despite maintaining coverage, the NPL provision release reflects the relative improvement in performance discussed below.
The next table deals with the rolling six-month change in group NPL balances. It is pleasing to see that the reduction in operational NPLs has continued due to slower
inflow and ongoing workout and write-offs. Collection efforts remained strong and resulted in paying NPLs curing and thus decreasing R2.5 billion period-on-period
(R3.1 billion decrease since June 2021).
Overall NPL coverage increased to 48.5% (December 2020: 45.7%; June 2021 45.3%), mainly driven by a large portion of paying NPLs (with lower coverage) curing into
performing, in line with expectations. The remaining NPLs reflected a marginal deterioration and product coverage was largely maintained. Increases in the UK operations
were driven by the owner-occupied mortgage and MotoNovo portfolios.

SA retail NPLs decreased 12% from R37.3 billion at June 2021 to R32.7 billion at December 2021 (December 2020: R37.3 billion). NPLs as a percentage of advances
decreased to 7.85% (December 2020: 9.01%; June 2021: 9.05%) driven by the curing of paying NPLs, slower inflows, ongoing write-offs, strong collections and
workouts, and support from higher advances.
SA commercial NPLs declined 20% to 4.31% of advances (December 2020: 5.80%; June 2021: 5.21%). The decline was due to workouts and write-offs, curing of a few
large counterparties and lower stage 3 inflows in various portfolios.
NPLs in the SA corporate and investment banking (CIB) including HQLA portfolio decreased 24% to 0.76% of advances (December 2020: 1.12%; June 2021: 1.07%),
reflecting part settlement and curing of several counterparties.
The rest of Africa NPL ratio decreased from 5.84% at June 2021 (December 2020: 6.36%) to 5.43% driven by lower NPLs in Botswana and Zambia following high
write-offs and a slowdown in new inflows.
In the UK operations, NPLs were at 2.96% of advances, marginally up from 2.89% at December 2020, however, down from the 3.16% level at June 2021. This was
mainly due to curing and settlement in the Aldermore commercial portfolio, supported by advances growth in the commercial and MotoNovo books. Retail NPLs continued
to be affected by the previous ban on collateral repossessions in the UK which constrained the workout process.
With regard to the Covid-19 relief books, overall gross advances decreased from R167.1 billion to R136.3 billion as customers continued to repay and no new relief was
granted. The performance of the relief book was stable and slightly better than expected. The proportion of the portfolio under relief declined to 10% of advances from
13% at June 2021.
DIVIDEND STRATEGY
The group continues to accrete capital, resulting in a healthy CET1 level, which provides sufficient capacity for growth. The board is therefore comfortable to maintain a
dividend cover of 1.8 times and considers this level of distribution to be appropriate and sustainable over the medium term.
PROSPECTS
In South Africa the group expects the current credit cycle to gather further momentum, as consumer and corporate incomes continue to recover, supported by pent-up
private sector demand. These trends will accelerate advances growth, mainly driven by the retail secured and commercial portfolios. Corporate advances growth is
expected to improve. The group anticipates a slowdown in deposit growth as consumers draw down on precautionary savings.
The rest of Africa portfolio is expected to show a steady improvement as many of the jurisdictions where it operates continue to benefit from the commodity cycle.
The rebound in the UK economy is expected to be maintained. Despite the government's withdrawal of its various stimulus packages unemployment has remained low,
which is supportive of a better than expected credit experience, and the UK business remains appropriately provided. The absolute growth in earnings for the full year is
now expected to be stronger than previously guided.
FirstRand expects its normalised ROE to remain in the stated range of 18% to 22% for the full year despite capital generation exceeding demand. Growth in earnings for
the full year is still expected to exceed the group's long-term target of real growth in earnings (defined as real GDP plus CPI), as the last tailwinds of the pandemic
recovery are felt.
