The year 2020 was unprecedented as the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns led to a rapid slowdown in global economic growth. In SA the pandemic and resultant domestic lockdowns had a severe impact on economic activity as the country's GDP declined by 7,0%, the largest fall in this metric since World War II. Businesses and individuals came under severe pressure and transactional volumes fell significantly in Q2 2020 before recovering somewhat in the second half of the year. In response to the economic crisis the SARB cut interest rates by 300 bps, which proved beneficial to clients’ cashflow as instalments on floating-rate loans declined, but this also resulted in lower endowment income for Nedbank. On the back of these economic pressures, job losses increased and many clients’ current and future ability to repay debt declined, resulting in higher levels of impairment charges, now determined under more-forward-looking IFRS 9 models. Despite these challenges, the SA banking sector and Nedbank demonstrated strong levels of resilience and was able to support clients while remaining well capitalised, liquid and profitable, albeit at levels lower than in the prior year. Nedbank’s primary focus has been on the health and safety of our stakeholders, including employees and clients, as well as on helping our clients in good standing to navigate the financial challenges that arose in their business and personal finances. At the peak of the crisis we supported our clients with cashflow relief on more than R120bn of loans. We are pleased that our clients reduced this level of support to R28bn by the end of the year as economic conditions improved. We pivoted our strategy to focus on resilience and maintaining a well-capitalised and liquid balance sheet. Capital and liquidity ratios remained strong and most finished the year at higher levels than those reported in June, reflected in our tier 1 capital ratio of 12,1% (June 2020: 11,7%), CET1 ratio of 10,9% (June 2020: 10,6%), average fourth-quarter LCR of 126% (June 2020: 114,5%) and NSFR of 113% (June 2020: 114%) – all well above regulatory minima. Overall impairment coverage also increased from 2,26% in 2019 to 3,25% at year-end. We remain on high alert for the risks associated with new rounds of infections and variants and continue to monitor the effect that new lockdown restrictions may have on our clients and the economy as a whole. The impact of the very difficult operating environment was evident in Nedbank Group’s HE for the year ended 31 December 2020, as it declined by 56,5% to R5,4bn, compared to a decline of 69,2% in H1 2020. Nedbank remained solidly profitable and, despite the challenges of forecasting in such a complex environment, performed in line with the guidance we provided to the market, supported by an improved financial performance in H2 2020. HE for the year was affected by higher impairments and lower revenues, mainly due to lower levels of client activity and the impact of lower interest rates on endowment income. Expenses were well managed and declined by 1,3% from the prior period. Our ROE of 6,2% was lower than in the year before but improved from the 4,8% reported in H1. Improving the ROE from these levels back to above our cost of equity is a key focus of management. Despite our strong capital and liquidity position at 31 December, having considered the spirit of Prudential Authority Guidance Notes 4/2020 and 3/2021 and noting growth opportunities and our responsibility to support clients and the economy, alongside the current uncertainty about the progression of the virus, possible future waves, and the vaccine rollout and its effectiveness, the group has decided not to declare a final dividend for 2020. Based on our current forecasts the group expects to resume dividend payments when reporting interim results in 2021. We made excellent progress on our goal of delivering market-leading client experiences, as is evident in improved client satisfaction rankings. In the 2020 Consulta survey Nedbank increased its position to number two in the Net Promoter Score (NPS) among the five large SA banks, and maintained the second-highest-rated position in the SAcsi survey on customer satisfaction. During the lockdown our digital capabilities were vital as we launched various innovations such as Avo (our super app). We also introduced more retail digital onboarding (Eclipse) capabilities to new products such as investments, cards and overdrafts, and started the rollout of juristic client onboarding. This resulted in retail digital sales increasing to 49% of all sales (2019: 21%) and digitally active clients increasing by 25% to 2,2m. Our digital successes were underpinned by our Managed Evolution (ME) technology strategy, which is materially complete for all the foundation projects and overall 78% complete (2019: 70%). Our Target Operating Model 1.0 (TOM 1.0) optimisation programme recorded additional savings of R675m in 2020, translating to cumulative savings of R1,8bn to end-2020. The group’s long-term sustainability journey continues. Our focus remains on the delivery of the United Nations SDGs and we look forward to publishing our first TCFD report as part of our integrated reporting suite in April 2021. The Nedbank franchise is well positioned for growth, as reflected in our ‘Reimagine’ strategy, which includes delivering market-leading client solutions, unlocking value through our Strategic Portfolio Tilt 2.0 and Target Operating Model 2.0 (TOM 2.0) initiatives, and leading sustainably as we deliver on our purpose of using our financial expertise to do good for all our stakeholders. Forecasting remains difficult in a volatile health and economic environment, but we currently expect the country's GDP to increase by 3,4% in 2021. Given the economic forecasts from the Nedbank Group Economic Unit, our strategic drivers and particularly our expectation of an ongoing improvement in the credit loss ratio, our current guidance on financial performance for the half-year 2021 is to grow HEPS and EPS by more than 20%, as referred to in our trading statement. We have revised our medium-term targets* so that they reflect the current environment, and by 2023 we aim to exceed our 2019 diluted HEPS level of 2 565 cents, achieve an ROE greater than the 2019 ROE level of 15%, reduce our cost-to-income ratio to below 54%, and rank number one on the NPS among SA banks. We thank all our committed Nedbank employees for remaining resilient during an extraordinarily difficult time, and for continuing to follow the Covid-19 health protocols while diligently supporting our clients and the economy throughout this crisis. We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends and communities of employees and clients who have succumbed to Covid-19 and related illnesses.

This tipped the world economy into a deep recession. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects a contraction of 3,5% in global GDP for 2020, which would have been far worse had it not been for the unprecedented global monetary and fiscal policy response. While many advanced countries continued to battle new waves of Covid-19 infections in the final quarter, resulting in tighter lockdown restrictions and softer economic activity, confidence nonetheless improved, boosted by the rapid development and production of effective vaccines. Equity markets rallied, with the US markets closing at record highs. The surge in risk appetite late in 2020 also boosted demand for emerging-market assets, which supported capital inflows, driving some recovery in emerging-market equities, bonds and currencies. The pandemic hit most emerging and developing countries particularly hard, aggravating deeply entrenched structural imbalances and adding to already high public debt burdens. The pandemic-induced recession had a material impact on tax revenues, and most governments increased health and other pandemic-related spending aggressively, resulting in large budget deficits and sharply higher public debt burdens. Economic activity in China rebounded strongly from the second quarter onwards as the country managed to contain the virus while rolling out a large fiscal stimulus package amplified by substantial liquidity injections and looser monetary policies. The Chinese economy expanded by 2,3% in 2020, making it the only country in the world to post growth in 2020, albeit its slowest rate of growth since 1976. The stronger-than-expected recovery in China, together with infrastructure investment programmes in many countries supported demand for and prices of commodities, providing some relief to many commodity-exporting emerging economies in the second half of the year, particularly in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa. While Covid-19 infection rates have not been as high in sub-Saharan Africa as in many other regions, the collapse in global oil prices in the second quarter, restrictions on international trade and tourism, as well as strict lockdown measures in many African countries have caused substantial economic and fiscal damage. The IMF projects that the region’s GDP shrunk by 2,6% in 2020. In SA economic conditions also improved in the second half of the year, but the recovery was too muted to erase the damage done under the strict lockdown imposed in the second quarter. The economy shrunk by 7,0% in 2020. This followed several years of economic stagnation caused by widespread corruption, repeated power outages, the slow pace of structural reforms, widening fiscal deficits and mounting public debt. Against this already bleak background, the negative impact of the pandemic and lockdown on SA’s growth prospects and debt level resulted in both Moody’s and Fitch downgrading the country's sovereign credit ratings in April. With all three major global rating agencies now considering SA's sovereign debt as subinvestment grade, foreign capital inflows dried up, debt and equity markets experienced extreme volatility, and the rand depreciated sharply. The South African Reserve Bank acted quickly to adopt extraordinary measures to stabilise markets. These measures included increasing liquidity provision to the banking sector through the repo mechanism, limited purchases of government debt in the secondary market and cutting policy rates by a dramatic 300 basis points, taking the prime rate to a 55-year low. These measures were successful in supporting market liquidity and restoring stability. The government also responded with a R500bn fiscal relief package consisting of extensions to social grants, UIF payments, a loan guarantee scheme and tax deferrals. As a result of this environment, government’s finances deteriorated even further. National Treasury expects the budget deficit to have hit 14% of GDP in 2020, up from an already problematic 6,4% in 2019. Government projects its gross debt burden to peak at 88,9% in 2025/26, with debt service costs anticipated to remain the fastest-growing expenditure item in the budget over the years to come, increasingly crowding out other urgent spending priorities. While this outcome is better than what was expected in the MTBS, the weak fiscal metrics will continue to undermine domestic growth prospects and further deterioration in the country’s ratings remains a risk. This will weigh on confidence, raise hurdle rates for new private sector investments and increasingly crowd out the private sector from the capital markets. Consumer finances and spending also improved in the second half of 2020. Data on high-frequency industry turnover from our point-of-sale (POS) devices and digital channels highlighted surprising resilience, with sales picking up noticeably from August, after sharp declines in April and May were registered. Industries that held up well during the year include telecommunications, healthcare and grocery retail and wholesale stores. Airlines, entertainment, hotels and restaurants were affected most adversely, with sales still well below 2019 levels. The recovery in fixed-investment activity has been much less compelling, even though the rebound in global trade, led by China, supported relatively robust recoveries in the mining and manufacturing sector. Fixed-investment activity is set to contract by a historic 18,2% in 2020. Inflation ended 2020 at a subdued 3,1%, kept in check by lower global oil prices, modest increases in local food prices and weak domestic demand. The year 2020 was a volatile and difficult year for the South African banking sector as it navigated the various lockdown levels, resulting in lower client activity and significantly higher credit risk. Increased market volatility boosted trading activities, which to some degree offset a slowdown in corporate dealflow across various sectors. Impairments rose significantly as a result of the difficult operating environment for our clients and due to the frontloading of forward-looking IFRS 9 portfolio impairments. Despite these challenges, the banking sector demonstrated strong levels of resilience and was able to support clients while remaining well capitalised, liquid and profitable, albeit at levels lower than in the prior year. 53 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 While South African sovereign finances entered the GLC in a much worse economic shape than they did the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), the banking system entered this crisis in a stronger position, with higher levels of capital and surplus liquidity (largely as a result of Basel III). Overall credit growth in the recent pre-GLC period (5% to 7%) has been slower than it was in the pre-GFC period (more than 20%). Impairments during the GLC are higher when compared with GFC impairment levels, in part due to the frontloading of impairments under forward-looking IFRS 9 macro-factor models (faster impairment recognition), which is materially different from the previous IAS 39 accounting requirements (slower impairment recognition) for incurred losses used during the GFC. While the GFC was a financial crisis, triggered by credit overextension (particularly in US residential mortgage loans) and high levels of gearing, rippling through global financial markets and translating into an economic recession, this is a health crisis that has morphed into an economic crisis as a result of the lockdown and poses significant social challenges such as higher levels of inequality and unemployment. Group strategy The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in a tilt in our strategic focus since the lockdown started at the end of March 2020. Initially, our focus was on ‘Resilience’, as we managed the group through the most restrictive phases of the lockdown and the extreme volatility experienced in financial markets. Our focus on ‘Transition’ continued thereafter as the strict lockdown at levels four and five eased and we reintegrated our full suite of financial services. As part of business planning in the latter part of the year our focus shifted to ‘Reimagine’, as we strategised to emerge stronger in a post-Covid-19 world and set revised medium-term targets for 2023. Resilience (Manage the crisis) – Our key focus throughout the pandemic has been on ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of our stakeholders, including our employees and clients. We invoked business continuity plans (BCPs) and enabled remote working across the enterprise as we continued to deliver essential banking services. Additionally, we focused on ensuring our IT systems were stable and available, reviewed stress-testing scenarios and modelling of potential economic outcomes, educated clients and employees regarding digital solutions and capabilities available to them, provided debt relief to support qualifying clients, launched new digital solutions such as Avo (our repurposed platform solution for essential services) and enabled clients to transact through digital channels. From a financial perspective, our focus was on managing liquidity, capital, market, operational and credit risk, and at the same time managing discretionary costs, with less focus on profitability other than as an initial buffer against capital. Transition (Enable recovery) – From Q3 our focus shifted from managing the crisis to dealing with its implications and the reintegration of the business in a phased manner (in line with revisions to government lockdown levels). Our focus was on mitigating downside risk, providing ongoing support to clients, managing costs and continuing to deliver world-class client experiences while remaining alert to new waves of infections and market volatility. This held us in good stead as the second wave emerged in December 2020. Pleasingly, the focus on managing credit risk and discretionary costs, together with a macroeconomic recovery from the low Q2 2020 base, supported a stronger second-half financial performance. Reimagine (Strategise for value creation in a new environment) – The environment for our employees, clients and other stakeholders, as well as the world of financial services and banking, is likely to be materially different after the Covid-19 pandemic. As part of our business planning in H2 2020 we identified opportunities to create new revenue streams, enhance operations and optimise the structure of our businesses. Key value unlocks for the future include delivering market-leading client solutions, growing in value-creating areas (including in line with the Strategic Portfolio Tilt 2.0 as we leverage our balance sheet to grow transactional revenue and deposits while increasing cross-sell), continuing our disruptive market activities (underpinned by digital leadership), driving efficient execution (including in line with the Target Operating Model 2.0, through which we are optimising our branch infrastructure in the context of an increasingly digital world, shifting our RBB structure to be more client-centred, as well as optimising shared services across the group), and leading sustainably (caring for our employees, clients, society and the environment). These value unlocks support our revised medium-term targets, and by 2023 we aim to have achieved DHEPS greater than the 2019 level (2 565 cents), ROE greater than the 2019 levels (ROE 2019: 15,0%), a cost-to-income ratio lower than 54% (2019: 56,5%) and the number one ranking in the NPS (2019: 3), having improved to number two among all South African banks in 2020 in the recently released Consulta survey. Leveraging our strategic foundations Delivering on the Nedbank strategy over the past few years has positioned us well in building foundational enterprise capabilities that have been beneficial during the Covid-19 pandemic and will support delivery of our reimagined strategies. In 2020 our focus on delivering market-leading client solutions was evident in the rollout of new digital innovations and enhanced client satisfaction ratings. In particular, our technology investments with our Managed Evolution (ME) IT strategy and Digital Fast Lane (DFL) as key components have provided an enhanced digital platform to enable delivery of new digital products and services and faster product development, as well as support operating efficiencies. • Delivering innovative, market-leading client solutions » Eclipse: Our simplified digital client onboarding platform for individual clients continued to gather pace, enabling clients to open FICA-compliant accounts remotely through our employee-assisted and self-service channels. All new individual client applications, transactional products and personal-loan sales are now processed through Eclipse. In the period we also expanded digital product sales to include investments, cards and overdrafts. During the year a decision was made to pivot delivery of Everyday Banking solutions on Eclipse ahead of secured-lending products as we respond to a changing environment. The roll-out of home loans, vehicle finance, stockbroking, forex and student loans should be completed in 2021. Juristic client onboarding in RBB was rolled out, with 99% of all juristic onboarding done in December 2020 via Eclipse in RBB, while the CIB roll-out is progressing well. » Apps: The Money app, which makes banking more convenient for our retail clients, is now actively used by 1,2m clients, up by 42% from 2019. It continues to be rated highly on the Apple and Google app stores, with an average client rating of 4,4 (out of five). Transaction volumes on the app increased by 70% and transaction values increased by 53% when compared to 2019. The Nedbank Private Wealth app, which offers integrated local and international-banking capabilities, has been downloaded nearly 24 000 times and has an average rating of 4,5 on the Apple and Google app stores. » Avo: In response to the crisis, which created challenges for many clients in accessing essential services such as healthcare and home repair services, we launched our market-leading digital innovation Avo, which is a one-stop super app enabling clients to buy essential products and services online and have them delivered to their home, with payment via the Nedbank digital wallet. Since its launch in app stores on 19 June 2020 Avo has signed up more than 145 000 customers, along with over 5 000 businesses registering and offering their products and services on this e-commerce platform. 54 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 » Tap on phone: We launched SA's first tap-on-phone functionality, enabling all merchants and business owners to convert their cellphones into payment acceptance devices to meet the needs of clients who are increasingly looking for contactless ways to pay. This tap-on-phone functionality is a first for Africa, and Nedbank is currently the only bank to offer this capability. » Loyalty and rewards: Our enhanced loyalty and rewards solution (a money management programme offering incentives for better money management and opportunities for doing good for society, as well as enabling clients to earn rewards) continued to gain traction. To date we have signed up more than one million Greenbacks members on the new platform and have so far acquired over 300 000 new members since launching the new programme in September 2019, an increase of 28%. » These initiatives helped us to increase the number of digitally active clients by 25% to 2,2m. • Operational efficiencies and optimisation » Cost discipline during the period increased as we actively managed discretionary spend and leveraged existing initiatives to optimise our cost base. These included the reduction of our core systems from 250 to 90 since the inception of the ME programme (a reduction of 27 since December 2019), and we are on track to reach our target of 60 to 75 core systems. The rationalisation, standardisation and simplification of our core banking operating systems led to reduced infrastructure, support and maintenance costs, less complexity and increased agility in adopting new innovations. Overall, investments in various foundational IT programmes are either complete or nearing completion, and we expect annual IT cashflow spend to remain flat or decline from here, after having peaked in 2019. Our ME programme has now reached 78% completion. » During 2020 additional self-service options, which were previously available in branches or through employee-assisted channels only, were released on our digital channels, taking the total digital self-service functions to 171 (compared with 114 in 2019). This digitisation of services in RBB, along with the impact of the lockdown, has enabled us to increase digital service volumes by 187% and reduce branch teller volumes by 42%. To date, branch floor space has decreased by almost 57 000 m2 (decreased by around 15 000 m2 in 2020) and employee points of presence declined by 40 in 2020 to 549. Over the past 12 months we reduced total group headcount by 1 079, mainly through natural attrition. » Through our strategy of consolidating and standardising corporate real estate, our number of campus sites (offices) has decreased from 31 to 26 over the past two years, with a longer-term target of 19. Since 2016 we have saved almost 69 000 m2 and saved around 15 000 m2 in 2020. In the next few years we will continue to optimise the portfolio by enhancing workstation use to more than 100% (from the current 94%) by enabling flexible office constructs to support more dynamic ways of work, as well as leveraging successful work-from-home experiences as a result of Covid-19, while creating further value and cost reduction opportunities. » Our TOM 1.0 initiatives recorded additional savings of R675m in 2020, translating to cumulative savings of R1,8bn to end 2020, which is ahead of our R1,2bn target by December 2020 as disclosed in the corporate performance targets in our long-term incentive scheme. We have started implementing TOM 2.0, which looks at the shape of our branch infrastructure in the context of an increasingly digital world, a shift in our RBB structure so that it is more client-centred, as well as shared-services optimisation across the group. We anticipate cumulative revenue uplift and costs savings relating to TOM 2.0 of R2,5bn in the next three years (of which approximately 90% relate to cost savings). Cumulative TOM 1.0 savings of R1,8bn (R675m in 2020) exceeded the incremental increase of computer-processing costs, adjusted for inflation, of R1,1bn over three years (R291m incremental amortisation and depreciation charges in 2020) and we expect similar benefits from TOM 2.0. REVIEW OF RESULTS Nedbank Group’s financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2020 reflects the difficult operating environment, largely as a result of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and strict lockdowns in Q2 2020. HE declined by 56,5% to R5,4bn. While HE in H1 2020 declined by 69,2% and was primarily impacted by a significant increase in impairments (largely related to IFRS 9 forward-looking macro models and Covid-19-related judgemental overlays), H2 2020 earnings showed an improvement when compared to H1 as levels of additional impairments in the six months declined, non-interest-revenue (NIR) declined less than expected and the group’s net interest margin (NIM) improved, in part due to better asset pricing. Expenses remained well managed. The underlying financial performance for all key metrics was in line with the guidance we provided at our interim results and during our market announcements in H2 2020. HEPS and EPS declined by 56,8% to 1 126 cents and by 71,3% to 718 cents respectively, in line with the updated trading statement released on 5 March 2021, which highlighted a decline of between 55% and 60% in HEPS and between 69% and 74% in EPS respectively. When compared with HEPS, the larger decline in EPS can be attributed primarily to the R750m impairment of the group’s investment in Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI) as disclosed in our H1 2020 results, accounting for our share of ETI’s impairment of their own goodwill, as announced in their 9M 2020 results released in November 2020, and an impairment relating to Nedbank’s own goodwill on the SA Wealth businesses. DHEPS declined by 56,6% to 1 113 cents. ROE and ROA declined to 6,2% and 0,45% respectively but improved from 4,8% and 0,36% in H1 2020. Return on RWA decreased from 2,02% to 0,82% as headline earnings declined and RWA grew by 7,2%. NAV per share of 18 391 cents increased by 1,0%, compared to 18 204 cents in December 2019. Throughout the crisis the group maintained strong capital and liquidity positions. Our IFRS 9 fully phased-in CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios of 10,9% and 12,1% increased from H1 2020 levels and remained well above our board targets of 10,0% to 12,0% and greater than 11,25% respectively, and well above the SARB minimum requirements of 7,5% and 9,25% respectively (excluding idiosyncratic buffers). For Q4 an average LCR of 126% was above the H1 level of 115% and well above the adjusted regulatory minimum level of 80% under the PA’s Directive 1/2020 (D1) (revised from 100% on 1 April 2020). An NSFR of 113% was in line with that in H1 and well above the 100% regulatory minimum. Despite our strong capital and liquidity position at 31 December, having considered the spirit of Guidance Notes 4/2020 and 3/2021 and noting growth opportunities and our responsibility to support clients and the economy, alongside the current uncertainty about the progression of the virus, possible future waves, and the vaccine rollout and its effectiveness, the group has decided not to declare a final dividend for 2020. Based on our current forecasts the group expects to resume dividend payments when reporting interim results in 2021. CLUSTER FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Nedbank Group’s HE declined by 56,5% to R5 440m and our ROE of 6,2% was below our cost of equity of 14,5%. The decline in HE was less than the 69,2% recorded in H1 2020 and consequently ROE improved from the 4,8% reported at half year. Year on year ROEs were lower across all our frontline clusters as HE declined and capital levels increased in the difficult Covid-19 operating environment. 55 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Change (%) HE (Rm) ROE (%) 2020 2019 2020 2019 CIB RBB Wealth NAR Centre Group (41,0) (69,9) (36,5) (97,4) (2,8) 3 636 1 595 662 12 (465) 6 167 5 293 1 042 457 (453) 9,4 5,4 15,3 0,2 17,7 17,3 24,8 7,7 (56,5) 5 440 12 506 6,2 15,0 HE in CIB declined by 41,0% (H1 2020: -57,1%) to R3,6bn, and the cluster delivered an ROE of 9,4% (H1 2020: 7,3%). HE was primarily impacted by an increase in impairments as reflected in the CLR, increasing to 82 bps (H1 2020: 118 bps) from 25 bps in the prior year. NII declined by -0,7%, with average interest-earning banking assets (AIEBA) increasing by 5,4% to R392bn. Actual gross banking advances decreased by 8,1% to R361bn due to early repayments from clients as well as active portfolio management as we focused on capital optimisation. Trading advances grew by 118% as clients repaid foreign currency banking loans and advances early, resulting in excess liquidity being placed in the repo market. Improved client asset pricing was offset by the impact of the significant decline in interest rates on endowment income. NIR declined by 11,6%, impacted by negative equity revaluations, partially offset by a strong trading performance across all asset classes given increased market volatility and client demand. Expenses decreased by 2,6%, driven by good cost containment, resulting in a cost-to-income ratio of 43,8%. HE in RBB declined by 69,9% to R1,6bn and ROE declined to 5,4% (H1 2020: 1,5%). The HE decline of 49,4% in H2 was less than the 91,2% reduction seen in H1. The main drivers for this performance were higher impairment charges, including R2,2bn of Covid-19-related adjustments, as well as lower NIR as a result of lower levels of client transactional activity. The CLR increased to 240 bps from 138 bps in the prior year and is above the cluster’s TTC target range of 130 bps to 180 bps, but below the H1 2020 peak level of 269 bps. Revenue growth was impacted by slow advances growth, although improving in the second half of the year, and NIM pressure from the impact of lower interest rates on endowment income. NIR decreased as client-related transactional activity slowed during the lockdown, particularly in the travel and leisure sectors, where we have a leading market share via the Amex franchise. A reduction in expenses was supported by the management of discretionary spend and ongoing optimisation of processes and operations, including a reduction in permanent headcount in RBB of 290 largely through natural attrition. HE in Nedbank Wealth decreased by 36,5% (H1 2020: 20,5%) to R662m, with an ROE of 15,3% (H1 2020: 17,1%) remaining above the group’s cost of equity. Wealth Management experienced a decline in earnings impacted by a reduction in SA and global interest rates, as well as significantly higher impairments locally. This was partly offset by a very good performance in Asset Management, which benefited from positive netflows, resulting in a 13,1% growth in AUM to R375bn. Insurance results were impacted by higher claims in the life portfolio, the negative effect of reduced interest rates on actuarial reserves and lower investment returns on shareholder funds. HE in Nedbank Africa Regions declined by 97,4% to R12m, with an ROE of 0,2%. The performance of the cluster reflects the impact of Covid-19 on the SADC operations evident in higher impairments (CLR up to 185 bps from 101 bps) and lower revenues, as well as accounting for the continued impact of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe. HE benefited from R153m relating to our investment in ETI, inclusive of our share of a 2018 ETI restatement reported in their 2019 results and now included in Nedbank’s 2020 results. The performance in the Centre reflects a R500m (pretax) increase in the central impairment (to R750m) and the base effect in 2019 of the final postretirement medical aid (PRMA) credit amounting to R255m (after tax). This was offset by fair-value gains as a result of the group’s fair-value hedge accounting solution that partially unwound in H2 2020. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Net interest income NII decreased by 0,3% to R30 081m, an outcome that was at the top end of our full-year 2020 guidance range of between 0% and a decline of 5%. The decline reflects AIEBA growth of 4,4% and a lower NIM. The AIEBA growth was driven by muted advances growth and higher levels of HQLA in the banking book. AIEBA growth slowed from the 8,2% recorded in H1 2020. NIM decreased by 16 bps to 3,36% from 3,52% in 2019, an improvement from the 3,33% recorded in June 2020. Cumulative interest rate cuts of 300 bps had a negative impact on endowment income, decreasing NIM by 24 bps. Liability pricing and the narrowing of the prime–JIBAR spread reduced NIM by a further 10 bps and 4 bps respectively, while strategic management actions in 2020 resulted in asset pricing increasing NIM by 15 bps and HQLA optimisation contributing to an increase of 7 bps. Impairments charge on loans and advances Impairments increased significantly, driven by the impact of Covid-19 on consumers and businesses and the difficult SA macroeconomic environment. The group’s impairment charge increased by 114% to R13 127m, including R3,9bn of Covid-19-related overlays and judgemental estimates. The group’s CLR increased from 79 bps in 2019 to 161 bps in 2020, an outcome that was just below the mid-point of our full-year 2020 guidance range of between 150 bps and 185 bps. During the period loans and advances were restated to include listed corporate bonds to ensure alignment with industry practice, and this reduced the group CLR by 3 bps and 6 bps in 2019 and 2020 respectively (this restatement applied to CIB only and consequently the group). To support clients in good standing, the group provided D3/2020 payment relief on a total of more than R120bn of client loans across the portfolio, representing 15% of total loans and advances. At 31 December 2020, this had declined to R28bn as payment holidays matured and clients resumed payment plans. RBB D3 loans declined from a peak of R80bn to R2bn at the end of December, with 88% of clients who had any form of payment relief having resumed payment, 9% having missed payments and 3% having payment relief either extended or having not yet matured. The remaining outstanding D3/2020 loans include R25bn for clients in CIB and the majority of these are expected to mature in H1 2021. Impairments in CIB increased by more than 100% to R3 245m and its CLR, at 82 bps, is above its TTC target range of 15 bps to 45 bps, but below the 118 bps in H1 2020. This compares with the 43 bps peak during the GFC. Stage 1 and 2 impairments increased as a result of Covid-19-related overlays, amounting to R826m. These overlays were driven by a bottom-up industry review, where the current macroeconomic forecasts and models do not yet sufficiently capture the impact of Covid-19 for certain vulnerable sectors in the CIB portfolio that are impacted by Covid-19. Stage 3 impairments increased, this relating to specific counters (most notably those operating in the aviation, business services and selected SOE sectors). In RBB impairments increased by 81% to R8 746m and its CLR, at 240 bps, increased to above the top end of its TTC target range of 130 bps to 180 bps as a result of R1,8bn judgemental Covid-19 adjustments and increased levels of consumer stress. RBB’s CLR compares with the 269 bps reported in H1 2020 and 256 bps during the GFC. During the year the group’s central provision was increased by R500m to R750m to account for emerging risks not yet reflected in the data, impairment models or macroeconomic forecasts. 56 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Average banking advances (%) 48,4 44,7 4,0 2,9 100,0 CLR (%) CIB RBB Wealth NAR Group 2020 20191 TTC target ranges 0,82 2,40 0,64 1,85 1,61 0,15–0,45 0,25 1,38 1,30–1,80 0,18 0,20–0,40 0,75–1,00 1,01 0,79 0,60–1,00 1 CLR for 2019 restated due to reclassification of listed corporate bonds into loans and advances. Overall coverage increased from 2,26% of total loans and advances at December 2019 to 3,25% at December 2020 due to clients moving into different stages of impairment and additional overlays raised for Covid-19-related risks. The stage 1 coverage ratio increased to 0,65% (December 2019: 0,48%), driven by Covid-19-related overlays. The stage 2 coverage ratio increased to 6,61% (December 2019: 5,30%), primarily as a result of the increased levels of Covid-19-related overlays, our classification of the majority of D3 loans as stage 2 and an increase in watch list clients. In line with guidance from the Basel Committee, Nedbank does not use the low-risk exemption available under IFRS 9. The stage 3 coverage ratio decreased to 31,5% (December 2019: 37,9%) given the mix impact of CIB stage 3 loans increasing faster than that of RBB stage 3 loans, an increase in the number of stage 3 clients in CIB with high levels of collateral, and an increase in D7 restructures in Retail (so-called performing restructures or technical cures), which attract a lower coverage than non-D7 restructures. Non-interest revenue NIR decreased by 7,1% to R24 140m, an outcome at the top end of the full-year 2020 guidance range of a decline of between 7% and 11%. The decline was primarily driven by lower levels of client-related transactional activity, lower equity valuations and lower insurance income. • Commission and fee income declined by 8,6% (H1 2020: declined by 9,2%) to R17 138m. Transactional activity declined significantly in H1, impacted by the lockdown, but had improved by the end of H2 2020 to above pre-crisis levels. Digital, POS and ATM volumes increased to above March levels in the second half of the year, although branch volumes remained lower. The number of retail main-banked clients, at 2,94m, was flat on 2019, but improved by 11% from H1 2020 levels as transactional activity returned. Fee concessions in April and May decreased NIR by R104m. CIB was also impacted negatively by subdued client activity but recorded 37 primary client wins that will support growth into the future. • Insurance income declined by 11,7% (H1 2020: declined by 7,8%) to R1 622m due to higher credit life loss-of-income claims and funeral claims as a result of Covid-19, as well as the adverse impact of reduced interest rates on actuarial reserves and the effect of lower JSE market performance on shareholder funds, despite some improvement in Q4. Credit life loss-of-income claims peaked in September and while volumes had decreased by December, they remain above normalised levels. This was partially offset by an improved non-life claims experience. • Trading income increased by 16,1% (H1 2020: 43,8%) to R5 252m given increased market volatility and higher client activity. • Private-equity income declined to a loss of R1 039m (H1 2020: R765m loss), primarily due to downward revaluations of unrealised investments as the subdued macroeconomic environment impacted the profitability of investee counters and listed market prices declined, although the levels of adverse impact declined in H2. • Fair-value gains from the group’s fair-value hedge-accounting solution increased more than 100% to R352m and, as expected, partially unwound in H2 2020 (H1 2020: R836m). Expenses The decline in expenses of 1,3% to R31 772m was in line with our full-year 2020 guidance range of a decline of between 1% and 4%, reflecting the close management of our discretionary spend, a decline in incentives and continuing optimisation initiatives offset by increased levels of Covid-19-related spend. • Staff-related costs decreased by 2,8% following: » average 2020 annual salary increases of 4,7% and a reduction in employee numbers of 1 079 since 31 December 2019, largely through natural attrition and including the impact of the sale of Nedbank Malawi (171 employees) in Q1 2020 (total of 3,7% reduction in headcount yoy); and » a 27% decrease in STIs impacted by the group’s financial performance (2019 decrease of 25%) and a 50% decrease in LTIs (2019 decrease of 22%) as expected vesting ratios have declined due to underperformance against corporate performance targets set in a pre-Covid-19 environment. » This decline was partially offset by the base effect of the PRMA pretax credit of R354m in 2019 and a R121m increase in the leave expense provision as employees took less leave during lockdown. • Computer-processing costs increased by 19,5% to R5 830m, driven by the increase in the amortisation charge of 23,0%, as well as investment in digital solutions and cash and self-service devices. The incremental savings under TOM 1.0 of R675m have more than offset the increase in amortisation and depreciation charges of R291m. • Other cost lines reflect the management of discretionary spend during the crisis. Savings were recorded across travel, communication, marketing and training. We also unlocked cumulative benefits of R1,8bn (December 2019: R1,1bn) from process enhancements and implementing TOM 1.0, mainly in RBB. • Covid-19-related spend of R81m includes the provision of personal protective equipment, additional spend to comply with health and safety regulations, and international consulting support relating to impairment model development and provisioning. Increasing demand on technology as a result of Covid-19, such as that arising from working from home, has not had a material impact on our cost base. The group’s decrease in expenses of 1,3% was less than the decrease in revenue and associate income of 4,0%, resulting in a negative JAWS ratio of 2,7% and the cost-to-income ratio increasing to 58,1% (December 2019: 56,5%). Hyperinflation accounting in Zimbabwe In the second half of 2019 the group adopted hyperinflation accounting in Zimbabwe. Given the further depreciation of the Zimbabwean dollar, a R205m monetary loss was recorded (2019: R296m loss), which had a net effect on HE of R89m (2019: R142m). Earnings from associates A loss from associates of R76m, relating primarily to the group’s 21% shareholding in ETI for the period ended 31 December 2020, has been recognised. This includes accounting for our share of ETI’s earnings from Q4 2019 to Q3 2020 (in line with our policy of accounting for our share of ETI’s attributable earnings a quarter in arrear), as well as Nedbank’s share (R236m) of the US$79,5m restatement of ETI’s 2018 income statement for interest accruals on oil market exposures that had to be reversed in terms of Central Bank of Nigeria regulations, as well as Nedbank’s share of ETI’s impairment on goodwill of US$159m, relating to ETI’s acquisition of Oceanic Bank in Nigeria. Nedbank’s share of ETI’s goodwill impairment decreased Nedbank’s profit for the year by R528m with no impact on HE. Due to the prolonged decline of the market value of Nedbank’s investment in ETI below its carrying value, Nedbank reviewed its impairment provision at 30 June 2020. While various scenarios supported a value-in-use calculation above the carrying value of 57 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 our investment, more weight was given to downside scenarios and an impairment of R750m was raised. Our position was reassessed at 31 December 2020 and no change in impairment was required. Total comprehensive income Total comprehensive income attributable to ordinary shareholders declined by 60,4% during the year to R4 358m, driven by the 56,5% decline in HE to R5 440m as well as the R750m impairment of the group’s investment in ETI, accounting for our share of ETI’s impairment of their own goodwill (R528m) and an impairment relating to Nedbank’s own goodwill on the SA Wealth businesses (R345m). The decline was partially offset by other comprehensive income that increased by more than 100% to R891m, primarily as a result of foreign currency translation gains in the period as the rand weakened against most currencies. STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION Capital The group remains capitalised at levels well within board targets, well above the minimum regulatory requirements and well above the levels during the GFC, with a tier 1 ratio of 12,1% (H1 2020: 11,7%) and a CET1 ratio of 10,9% (H1 2020: 10,6%). The CET1 ratio was achieved after absorbing the final 2019 ordinary-dividend distribution of R3,5bn, the impairment of the group’s investment and goodwill in ETI, further investment in software development as part of the ME programme, and an increase in credit RWA, driven by credit migration and the effect of volatility in market risk RWA. The tier 1 CAR was impacted by the further grandfathering of old-style preference shares (R531m) in January 2020 in line with the Basel III transitional arrangements, as well as the issuance of additional tier 1 instruments of R972m. The total CAR included the redemption of R2,3bn tier 2 capital and the issuance of new-style tier 2 capital of R4,1bn, in line with the group’s capital plan.

The PA issued Directive 2/2020 in April 2020, which provided capital relief to banks in light of the Covid-19 pandemic and temporarily relaxed the Pillar 2A requirements to nil, resulting in regulatory minimum requirements decreasing for CET1 by 50 bps for tier 1 by 75 bps and by 100 bps for total CAR. Funding and liquidity Maintaining a strong liquidity position remains a priority for the group during the crisis. The group achieved a quarterly average long-term funding ratio of 25,4%, which compared favourably with the industry average of 22,0% in an environment of increased financial market volatility as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The group’s December 2020 average LCR of 125,7% (H1 2020: 114,5%) exceeded the minimum regulatory requirement, with the group maintaining appropriate operational buffers designed to absorb seasonal, cyclical and systemic volatility observed in the LCR. On 31 March 2020 the PA issued Directive 1/2020, reducing the minimum LCR requirement from 100% to 80% with effect from 1 April 2020. Nedbank Group LCR 2020 2019 HQLA (Rm) Net cash outflows (Rm) Liquidity coverage ratio (%)3 Regulatory minimum (%) 3 Average for the quarter. 206 943 164 583 125,7 80,0 177 985 142 421 125,0 100,0 More details on the LCR are available in the ‘Additional information’ section of the condensed consolidated annual financial results. Nedbank’s portfolio of LCR-compliant HQLA increased by 16,3% to a December 2020 quarterly average of R207bn in support of the higher quarterly arithmetic average in the LCR net cash outflows driven by increased financial market volatility introduced by the Covid-19 pandemic. Nedbank proactively managed its HQLA liquidity buffers, resulting in a marginal yoy increase in the LCR. The HQLA portfolio, together with Nedbank’s portfolio of other sources of quick liquidity, equated to total available sources of quick liquidity of R254,4bn, representing 20,7% of total assets. Nedbank exceeded the minimum NSFR regulatory requirement of 100% effective from 1 January 2018 and reported a December 2020 ratio of 112,8% (December 2019: 113,0%). The structural liquidity position of the group remained relatively the same yoy as a result of well-managed balance sheet growth. Banking loans and advances Gross banking loans and advances decreased by 1,6% yoy to R797bn, driven primarily by a reduction in CIB banking advances in the second half of the year. The group’s loans and advances were restated to include listed corporate bonds, in line with industry practice. The restatement related to Nedbank Group and CIB only. Gross banking loans and advances growth by cluster was as follows: Rm CIB RBB Wealth NAR Centre4 Group Change (%) (8,1) 3,3 1,9 7,8 >100 (1,6) 2020 20195 361 280 375 385 31 567 24 186 4 438 796 856 393 088 363 471 30 970 22 427 (307) 809 649 4 Includes macro fair-value hedge-accounted portfolios and disclosure reallocations. 5 The group reclassified listed corporate bonds of R22bn (2019: R28bn) from government and other securities to loans and advances to be aligned with peer disclosure and so that they better reflect the group’s management of these assets. CIB gross banking loans and advances declined by 8,1% yoy to R361bn. Increased levels of client drawdowns during the crisis in H1 was offset by early repayments, active sell-downs, selective participation and portfolio optimisation, predominantly in H2 2020. RBB gross loans and advances increased by 3,3% yoy to R375bn. After a negative impact as a result of the closure of the deeds office and motor dealerships in April 2020, payouts increased in H2 2020 as clients who were in good financial standing took advantage of the 300 bps decline in interest rates. BB advances declined by 2,7% as new-loan payouts remained muted, given the lower business activity levels, and were not sufficient to replace the book rundown. MFC (vehicle finance) loans increased by 4,6% due to a combination of increases in average payout per deal, as well as a slowdown in rundown. Unsecured lending grew by 10,3% as a result of product and process enhancements, mostly through digital and call centre channels, driving increased take-up rates of 58 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 approved loans. Card advances decreased by 2,0%, challenged by the impact of Covid-19 and clients’ reduced ability to spend during the period. Residential mortgage loans grew by 4,8%, slightly ahead of the industry. • In 2020 we increased our focus on the physical, mental and financial wellbeing of our employees through various interventions. We are saddened by the loss of nine of our employees who succumbed to Covid-19 in 2020. Deposits Deposits grew by 5,5% to R954bn, with total funding-related liabilities increasing by 5,1% to R1 014bn, while the loan-to-deposit ratio was 88% (2019: 91%). Within the clusters CIB grew deposits by 11,4%, RBB by 4,5%, Wealth by 9,7% and Africa Regions by 10,2% while the Centre declined by 14,2%. Current and savings accounts (CASA), along with cash management deposits, increased by 31,1%, driven by increased short-term operational cash requirements by businesses impacted by Covid-19, while retail clients opted to hold more short-term operational deposits given the impact of Covid-19 on the economy. Individually, current accounts increased by 14,7%, cash management accounts increased by 47,6% and savings accounts increased by 35,7% (including foreign exchange translation gains in Nedbank Wealth). Call and term deposits increased by 3,5% and fixed deposits decreased by 5,0% as retail clients opted to keep their cash short or in notice deposits due to the uncertain economic environment. Fixed deposits were subject to increased competition in the domestic market, where some banks were pricing retail fixed deposits above the wholesale cash curve. NCDs decreased by 15,6% as institutional clients opted to invest in higher-yielding government bonds and treasury bills, while other deposits increased by 11,8% as a result of increased institutional and financial corporate demand for term deposits. The demand for other deposits was also linked to client appetite for increased deposit duration in an environment of slow growth and lower interest rates and contributed positively to managing Nedbank’s contractual longer-term funding ratio. Foreign funding, although small in relative terms for Nedbank, decreased by 17,8%, facilitated by the prepayment of foreign currency lending facilities. USING OUR FINANCIAL EXPERTISE TO DO GOOD Nedbank continues to play an important role in society and in the economy, and this role has been elevated during the Covid-19 crisis. We remain committed to delivering on our purpose of using our financial expertise to do good and to contribute to the wellbeing and growth of the societies in which we operate by delivering value to our staff, clients, shareholders, regulators and society.

Shareholders • Banks are highly integrated in the economies in which they operate and, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and sharp reductions in GDP, bank share prices across the world declined. Similarly, SA bank share prices declined in 2020 as reflected in the JSE SA bank index closing down 22% yoy. While we are disappointed that the Nedbank share price declined by 40% in 2020, we continue to focus on delivering on our strategy and actions alongside enhanced disclosure to address key issues investors may have. Pleasingly, in an environment of heightened forecast risk, we achieved the 2020 guidance we provided in H2 2020 and continue to focus on the drivers of value creation, as evident in our revised 2023 financial targets. • Despite our strong capital and liquidity position at 31 December, having considered the spirit of Guidance Notes 4/2020 and 3/2021 and noting growth opportunities and our responsibility to support clients and the economy, alongside the current uncertainty about the progression of the virus, possible future waves, and the vaccine rollout and its effectiveness, the group has decided not to declare a final dividend for 2020. Based on our current forecasts the group expects to resume dividend payments when reporting interim results in 2021. • We successfully hosted our first virtual AGM in 2020 and Regulators • We worked closely with the government, regulators and the Banking Association SA to mitigate the risks of Covid-19 and the associated lockdowns on the economy and to ensure the safety and soundness of the SA banking system. • Key developments included the following: » SARB changed its liquidity management strategy to help with the orderly transmission of liquidity through the financial system. Through Directive 1/2020 the regulatory minimum for the LCR was reduced from 100% to 80%. » The PA issued Directive 3/2020, amending the requirements specified in Directive 7/2015 to provide temporary relief to banks for qualifying clients whose loans were up to date at 29 February 2020 when dealing with any Covid-19-related distressed restructures. » The PA issued Directive 2/2020, which allows for the temporary removal of the systemic risk buffer, or Pillar 2A capital requirement, which was reduced from 1% in total CAR to zero. Banks can now use their capital conservation buffers, including the additional loss absorbency requirements that were built up by D-SIBs. » A block exemption was issued by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition allowing banks to collectively formulate the SME loan guarantee scheme with National Treasury and SARB and to engage and agree on client relief measures, for example helping Sassa beneficiaries and announcing payment holidays during the pandemic. • We maintained a strong capital position, with a tier 1 capital ratio of 12,1% and CET1 ratio of 10,9%. • We ended the year in a strong liquidity position, with an average LCR of 126% in Q4 of 2020 and an NSFR of 113% at December 2020.

Through the considered development and delivery of products and services that satisfy societal needs and through our own operations, we aim to play our part in enabling a thriving society, create long-term value and maintain trust to ensure the ongoing success of our brand. This is particularly important in the current context of SA as well as the broader African continent. recorded good voting outcomes. We became the first company in SA to proactively table two climate-change-related resolutions, which shareholders unanimously supported as both received 100% votes of approval. Our inaugural TCFD report will be published in April 2021. We have adopted the United Nations SDGs as a framework for measuring delivery on our purpose, and this has proven very important during this time. We continued to make progress in driving groupwide adoption, awareness and delivery of the SDGs to bring our purpose to life. Key highlights include the following: • We ensured transparent, relevant and timeous reporting; enhanced our disclosures to shareholders; and hosted numerous virtual investor engagements in 2020, which were accompanied by a significant increase in investor attendance. • Nedbank achieved first place with honours at the 2020 EY Excellence in Integrated Reporting Awards – the only SA company to be named overall winner for three years in a row. This achievement was followed by a top 40 merit award at the 2020 Chartered Governance Institute of Southern Africa/JSE Integrated Reporting Awards. Good health and wellbeing (SDG 3) • We donated over R16m towards Covid-19 relief efforts: R5m was provided to The South African Red Cross Society and R2m to Doctors Without Borders. • We actively engaged in numerous health and economic interventions through the Banking Association South Africa, Business Leadership SA and Business Unity SA (including Business4SA). Quality education (SDG 4) • Over the past five years Nedbank has provided approximately 4 300 students with student loans to the value of R232m. A total of R38m of this was disbursed to 617 students in 2020. 60 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 • Every year our sponsorship of the Thuthuka Education Upliftment Fund supports 45 students who are pursuing an academic qualification towards becoming chartered accountants in SA, and we have funded the qualification of 56 black chartered accountants. • Our CSI spend totalled R103m in 2020 and included over R46m allocated to skills development and education. • We provided further funding for the development of student accommodation of R691m, creating an additional 785 beds in 2020. Clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) • We continued to work with key water players to address issues with services, including providing advisory services and funding for significant water projects such as those of the Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority (TCTA) and Rand Water. • We decreased our own total water consumption by 25% as a result of ongoing water restriction measures, floorspace consolidation and reduced levels of employees at our campus sites due to the lockdown. Affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) • Nedbank launched a R2,0bn SDG-linked tier 2 capital instrument (SDG green bond), which is the first of its kind in SA, listed on the Green Bonds segment of the JSE and created in partnership with the African Development Bank. Proceeds will be used to fund solar and wind renewable-energy projects. The inaugural Nedbank Green Renewable Energy Bond won numerous awards in 2020: Energy Deal of the Year at the African Banker Awards 2020 and the Impact Initiative of the Year at the Environmental Finance Impact Awards 2020. During the year Nedbank also became the first SA sustainable bond issuer to be invited to join the Nasdaq Sustainable Bond Network as a contributing member. • We continued our focus on embedded generation through our partnerships with leading developers in embedded generation, such as the Sola Group and Energy Partners, who can provide our clients with trusted energy solutions. • In December 2020 Nedbank partnered with the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in raising $200m of climate-linked loan financing.

Economic outlook The outlook for the global economy has improved with the development and rollout of Covid-19 vaccines. Most economies are expected to return to growth in 2021, underpinning a rebound in merchandise trade, although activity in some services sectors will remain subdued. The risks to the global outlook remain to the downside, with much depending on the efficacy of the vaccines in containing the pandemic. The large advanced and developing economies are expected to continue to lead the global upturn, with China recording the fastest growth. The return to pre-Covid-19 global output levels is unlikely in the foreseeable future due to the destruction of some production capacity. Stimulatory measures on the monetary and fiscal fronts will also be key determinants of the pace of rebound across different economies. The IMF forecasts global GDP to rise by 5,5% in 2021 as vaccines contain the spread of the virus and allow governments around the world to ease lockdowns and encourage a return to normal economic activity. The world economy is further expected to benefit from the large government stimulus programmes announced by a few advanced economies, notably the US and Japan. In mid-January 2021 the markets welcomed the inauguration of newly elected US president Joe Biden, with expectations that the US would once again play a coordinating role on a global scale and that the US$1,9 trillion US stimulus programme would help support the global economy. In sub-Saharan Africa most countries are likely to emerge from the crisis with large budget deficits. However, the new African Continental Free-trade Area (AfCFTA) will serve as a framework for the region’s economic recovery and a World Bank report estimates regional income could receive a US$450bn boost. In the short term the IMF expects a muted recovery in sub-Saharan Africa, with growth forecast to rebound by 3,2% in 2021. 61 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 SA’s economic outlook has improved since 2020 but remains uncertain. Consequently, forecast risk remains high given the continuously evolving environment particularly the risk of a third wave of the virus. It is essential that government follows the path to deficit reduction set out in the national budget to avoid any further sovereign risk rating downgrades and the resultant negative feedback loops. Given government’s limited resources, the focus should be on implementing much-needed growth-enhancing structural reforms, particularly ensuring a more stable energy supply, stabilising SOEs and the release of spectrum. Ultimately, the pace of the domestic economic recovery will depend on how quickly SA can achieve herd immunity as the phased Covid-19 vaccine rollout races against new and more contagious variants of the virus. The outlook for the SA economy is nevertheless more promising, with the recovery supported by firmer consumer spending, the rebuilding of domestic inventories and stronger commodity prices and export growth, particularly during the second half of the year. The Nedbank Economic Unit forecasts GDP growth of 3,4% for 2021, which is a material improvement from the 7,0% contraction in 2020, but real GDP is expected to return to 2019 levels only in the latter part of 2023. Inflation is set to increase in 2021, edging higher off a low base on an uptick in fuel, food and electricity prices. These upside pressures will be contained by subdued domestic demand and a stronger rand. Headline inflation is forecast to average around 4,1% in 2021. We believe that the SARB has provided appropriate monetary stimulus since the pandemic began last year, and therefore we expect interest rates to remain flat throughout 2021. The SA banking system weathered a very difficult and uncertain operating environment in 2020 and emerged with resilient capital and liquidity positions. Significant economic support is expected from low interest rates and the likely normalisation of activity once the global vaccination drive has gathered some critical mass and starts to contain the spread of the virus. However, it will take longer to repair the damage inflicted to household incomes and company profits. These realities will contain the speed of recovery to a modest pace over the next 12 months. The outlook for overall credit demand in the industry, although improving from 2020 levels, is expected to remain weak, reflecting the difficult economic conditions faced by households and companies. Industry-level credit growth is expected to improve gradually during the year to end at around 4,5%. Prospects Our guidance on financial performance for the full year 2021, in a global and domestic macroeconomic environment with high forecast risk, is currently as follows: • NII growth to be between 0% and 3%. Loan growth should recover and NIM is expected to contract slightly on the back of the run rate of the full impact of interest rate cuts on endowment, partially offset by improved asset pricing. • CLR to be between 110 bps and 130 bps, above our TTC target range of 60 bps to 100 bps but showing an improvement from the 161 bps reported in 2020. • NIR to increase by between 5% and 9% as transactional activity recovers off a low base and strategic initiatives such as cross-sell and new revenue streams contribute to growth, as insurance claims decline but remain elevated, and as negative private-equity realisations and revaluations create a low 2020 base. Trading income growth will likely be more muted off the high 2020 base. • Expenses growth to be between 7% and 9%, reflecting the impact of improved levels of profitability on incentives, expected new additional costs such as Deposit Insurance and Twin Peaks, the return of some discretionary spend such as marketing, Nedbank’s support of YES, as well as our current expectation of other activities returning to normality. • Liquidity metrics, including the LCR and NSFR ratios, to remain well above PA minimum requirements. • CET1 capital ratio to remain within the board-approved target range of 10% to 12%. • Dividend payment to resume when reporting interim results in 2021, an expectation supported by the group’s robust balance sheet and earnings growth off a low base. In line with our ‘Reimagined’ strategy we have revised and set new medium- and long-term targets that we believe are appropriate to drive value creation in the current economic environment. These, together with our 2021 guidance, are as follows: Metric ROE 2020 performance6 Full-year 2021 outlook Medium-term target Long-term target 6,2% Improve on 2020 Greater than 2019 levels (15%) by 2023 > 18% Growth in DHEPS (56,6%) Growth greater than 20% Greater than 2019 levels (2 565 cents) by 2023 > consumer price index + GDP growth + 5% CLR 161 bps Between 110 bps to 130 bps Between 60 bps and 100 bps of average banking advances Cost-to-income ratio 58,1% Increases Below 54% by 2023 < 50% (including associate income) CET1 capital adequacy ratio (Basel III) 10,9% Within target range 10,0–12,0%7 Dividend cover No dividend paid 1,75–2,25 times 1,75–2,25 times 6 The COE is currently forecast at around 14,4% in 2021 to 2023. 7 This target will be reconsidered in light of the proposed reintroduction of Pillar 2A in 2022 as per the proposed directive published by the PA in Feb 2021. Shareholders are advised that all guidance is based on organic earnings and our latest macroeconomic outlook and has not been reviewed or reported on by the group’s joint auditors. 62 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Trading statement for the six months ending 30 June 2021 HEPS and basic EPS for the six months ending 30 June 2021 are expected to increase by more than 20% (HEPS greater than 525,6 cents and basic EPS greater than 324 cents) when compared with those in the six-month period ended 30 June 2020 (HEPS: 438 cents, basic EPS: 270 cents). A further trading statement will be issued to provide more specific guidance when there is reasonable certainty about the extent of the increase and the relevant HEPS and basic EPS ranges. Shareholders are advised that the information in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the group’s joint auditors.

Covid-19 pandemic and the difficult economic environment impacted CIB’s results. HE decreased by 41,0% to R3 636m and ROE fell to 9,4%. GOI was under pressure and declined by 6,4% to R14 683m, due largely to decreased endowment income, negative equity revaluations and declining fees and commissions. This was offset by good trading income growth of 16%. Capital was well managed throughout the year and grew by 10,9% due to rating migrations, advances growth during H1 and an increase in market risk capital. NII decreased by 0,7% to R7 339m, with AIEBA increasing by 5,4% to R392bn and average banking advances increasing by 6,2% to R394bn, as clients drew down on liquidity facilities during the crisis. Actual banking advances decreased 8,1% to R361bn due to repayments in H2 as well as optimisation efforts to manage RWA. This was in large part due to an active focus on portfolio and capital optimisation. Average deposits increased by 10,8% to R407bn as a result of delayed client capital investment. NIM decreased by 12 bps to 1,87% driven by a reduction in endowment and higher cost FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Corporate and Investment Banking Property Finance Corporate and Investment Banking, excluding Property Finance Headline earnings (Rm) NII (Rm) Impairments charge on financial instruments (Rm) NIR (Rm) Gross operating income (including associate income) (Rm) Operating expenses (Rm) ROE (%) ROA (%) CLR – banking advances (%) NIR to total operating expenses (%) Cost-to-income ratio (%) Interest margin (%) Total assets (Rm) Average total assets (Rm) Total advances (Rm) Average total advances (Rm) Total deposits (Rm) Average total deposits (Rm) Average allocated capital (Rm) Financial highlights 2020 3 636 7 339 3 245 7 229 14 683 6 432 9,4 0,60 0,82 112,4 43,8 1,87 607 348 608 288 428 992 446 176 423 046 407 418 38 691 2019 6 167 7 390 917 8 175 15 686 6 604 17,7 1,15 0,25 123,8 42,1 1,99 543 726 538 064 423 542 405 888 379 656 367 804 34 885 2020 250 2 111 911 146 2 258 956 2,7 0,12 0,54 15,3 42,4 1,07 174 587 172 680 168 832 166 942 341 357 9 222 2019 1 654 2 106 (32) 1 207 3 313 1 051 16,7 0,9 (0,02) 114,8 31,7 1,12 167 975 159 412 148 473 153 840 268 503 9 921 Property Finance Investment Banking Markets 2020 3 386 5 228 2 334 7 083 12 425 5 476 2019 4 513 5 284 949 6 968 12 373 5 553 432 761 435 608 260 160 279 234 422 705 407 061 29 469 375 751 378 652 275 069 252 048 379 388 367 301 24 964 Working capital and transactional services 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2 258 3 313 3 460 3 649 5 682 5 106 3 283 3 618 166 942 153 840 198 942 187 444 58 455 38 724 21 837 25 880 Gross operating income (including associate income) (Rm) Average total advances (Rm) 76 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 of funding during the crisis. This reduction was partially offset by asset margin increases as credit spreads widened to reflect the risk backdrop. Impairments increased to R3,2bn (2019: R917m) to account for the expected deterioration in the credit environment and stress in certain industries. Even though we have more favourable forward-looking macro parameters compared to H1 2020, we applied additional impairment overlays within the Investment Banking and Transactional Services portfolio, as well as the property sectors where we expect lagging risk migration over the next 12 to 18 months. The CLR increased to 0,82%, which is higher than the GFC peak of 0,43%. The total impairment coverage ratio increased from 0,65% in December 2019 to 1,08%, driven by stage 1 and stage 2 portfolio impairments. Stage 3 advances increased from R4,1bn in December 2019 to R11,0bn – representing 3,7% of banking advances - as the difficult environment resulted in several watchlist clients migrating to non-performing status or requiring distressed restructures. The increased stage 3 impairments mostly relate to lower-than-expected recovery values and an increased time to resolve non-performing loans in the current depressed environment. The stage 3 (specific) coverage ratio decreased to 14,9% due to some write offs in H2 2020 where higher impairments were held, the level of collateralisation on the remaining defaulted book and certain stage 3 loans having implemented restructures. These will now be monitored before they can be re-rated to the performing portfolio. A total of R25,4bn in Directive 3/2020 restructures (8,2% of banking advances) were still in place at year-end, with exposures mainly in the hospitality, property, consumer goods and construction and cement sectors. We remain vigilant on high-risk sectors such as aviation, construction and hospitality and we believe we have raised adequate impairments. NIR decreased by 11,6% to R7 229m due to negative equity revaluations in private equity income as the profitability of certain counters were impacted over this period. Fee and commission income declined by 10,8% to R2 906m as a result of the lockdown negatively impacting new-client-related activities - particularly in Investment Banking. These factors were offset somewhat by good trading income performance – growing at 16,1% and a 4,9% growth in Transactional Services – which continued to see primary-client wins. The NIR-to-expense ratio decreased to 112,4% (2019: 123,8%). Cost containment resulted in expenses decreasing by 2,6% from the prior year. Our cost-to-income ratio has increased slightly from 42,1% in the prior year to 43,8% as a result of the muted income levels. PROPERTY FINANCE Conditions in the property sector are likely to remain challenging for the foreseeable future. Our areas of focus during the second half of the year have been on liquidity pressures caused by the lockdown as well as the longer-term impact expected on property values. We have worked extensively with clients to offer short-term liquidity relief where they experienced cashflow pressures. Our experience, however, is that liquidity in the sector remained significantly better than expected, with our portfolio remaining resilient. We anticipate a decline in property values in the medium term and have started to see this materialise through results reported in the listed sector, as well as through our own valuations of collateral that we hold. While initial value reductions have generally not been excessive, we anticipate the downward trend to continue for the foreseeable future. We will continue to work with clients to understand the themes that are evolving and the potential impact they could have on values. GOI decreased by 31,9%, driven mainly by NIR declining 87,9% as a result of negative equity revaluations, impairments in the mezzanine book and reduced fee and commission income. Total advances increased by 4,1% to R169bn, but NII was flat as a result of the interest rate cuts impacting endowment income. The CLR increased to 0,54% (2019: -0,02%) due to increased impairments as well as overlays raised for listed funds and exposures in the retail, offices and hospitality sectors where we expect negative risk migration over the next 12 to 18 months. Our portfolio contains good-quality collateralised assets and is well diversified. This is underpinned by a strong client base and supported by an experienced property team. INVESTMENT BANKING Investment Banking was impacted by higher impairment charges and negative revaluations on equity exposures, which resulted in GOI decreasing by 5,6%. Actual banking advances, including corporate bonds, decreased by 13,6% due to active portfolio management as we focused on capital optimisation and experienced early repayments from clients in the second half of the year. NII increased by 9,9% due to higher annual average advances and a change in the mix across the portfolio. A higher impairment charge was driven by the expected negative risk migration in the performing portfolio and a larger defaulted book with increased stage 3 impairments. Defaulted exposures increased due to clients experiencing increased pressure, particularly in the aviation, commodity trading, business services and SOE sectors. NIR was impacted by negative equity revaluations, with the private equity portfolio experiencing a reduction in the overall portfolio valuation in line with related JSE sectors. Fees and commissions decreased by 16,4% due to reduced client activity. Despite the challenges in specific sectors we have seen growth in mining and resources, oil and gas, telecoms and energy where Investment Banking has market-leading expertise. Focus is being put on the current advances pipeline to ensure optimisation of return on risk-weighted assets and cross-selling into the broader CIB offering. MARKETS Markets were well positioned for volatility, with trading income growing at 16,3% off a strong base, reflecting good performances across all asset classes. Revenue generation remained robust, despite an expected decline given the dissipation of volatility and compression of rates in the second half of the year. GOI grew at 11,3% and NIR increased by 12,2% to R4 857m. Equities trading increased by 50,7%, driven by strong risk management, increased levels of volatility and good client activity. Strong market-making results in fixed income as well as hedging activity in xVA led to an overall increase of debt securities revenue. Foreign exchange performance was up by 8,6%, largely driven by good outcomes in FX derivatives hedging where Nedbank’s newly positioned offering and team were able to take advantage of the increased client activity levels during the lockdown period. WORKING CAPITAL AND TRANSACTIONAL SERVICES GOI decreased by 8,8% due to the decline in NII from R2 129m in 2019 to R1 792m. This was due to margin pressure on deposits, while average deposits grew 10,6%. Transactional revenue increased by 4,9% driven by the contribution and cumulative effect of our 160 primary-banked wins since 2015, inclusive of the 37 won in 2020 that will also accrete NIR over time. These primary-banked clients represent 10% of the Transactional Services GOI.The Transactional Services business placed strategic focus on growing the short-term lending, trade finance and asset-based finance 77 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 books through the formation of a specialised Working Capital sales team to facilitate additional deposit and transactional growth. In 2020, 46 new facilities were granted to the value of R14bn and 10 restructures undertaken, amounting to R6,4bn (total of R20,4bn).The overall credit environment remains difficult, with impairments increasing and a slowdown in global trade activity being experienced in 2020. Transactional Services continues to deliver on significant innovation in our product areas. We are focussed on efficiencies as well as API initiatives and solutions together with selected clients. Nedbank has invested in its digital capabilities and we will roll out the Nedbank Business Hub (NBH) - an advanced juristic onboarding and servicing digital platform. Looking forward The Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent measures implemented to contain the spread of the virus have caused further damage to an economy that was already in technical recession. Despite this, we have a robust pipeline and will continue to focus on optimising risk and returns, cross selling and diversifying our revenue pools. Uncertainty continues to be a trend with the ongoing pandemic and a third wave of infections in SA could become a reality. We are continuing our efforts to help clients, protect businesses, and save jobs by providing highly focused client service and assistance where it is needed with an emphasis on providing proactive risk management and focus on resolutions in stressed sectors. Our key strategies for 2021 are to formalise our balance sheet optimisation approach, build opportunities off the base of our ESG credentials, work with South African institutions to build a sustainable economy and accelerate our digital ambitions. We plan to enhance the active optimisation of our balance sheet in line with global investment banking trends, focusing on delivering our ROE ambitions. By developing deep client and product analytics to understand overall returns, changes over time and the effect of pipeline deals, we will ensure we are focused on the right sectors, clients and products. Attracting, upskilling and retaining top talent continues to be significant levers in growing our businesses and remain a priority while we continue to ensure that we build a culture with diversity, equity and inclusion at its heart. We believe our credentials and strength in ESG have an important part to play in creating a sustainable franchise – climate change is a defining battle of our generation that we must win and, as such, we will use our financial expertise to play a part in achieving a sustainable future for the country. We followed up our successful green renewable issuance in 2019 by raising R2bn through a first-of-its kind SDG-linked bond instrument listed on the green segment of the JSE. We also established a dedicated Sustainable Finance Solutions team to keep a front and centre presence and profile in the market as the go-to bank for innovative sustainable financial solutions. Our contribution to growth in our country as a financial services player remains a key focus. To this end we will look for opportunities to support the government’s Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan – with a focus on infrastructure and using our strong sector expertise and market leadership in renewable energy. Globally, our industry is increasingly seeing technology as a core capability of product delivery and innovation. There is also a growing focus on digital client experience. We still take the view that deep, quality client relationships are paramount, but acknowledge the importance of our digital ambitions to fulfil on a ‘warm digital’ engagement. This entails investing in meaningful client relationships where it matters, while creating a great digital ‘self-service’ experience for our clients’ day-to-day needs. Our focus, in this respect, is the long-term development of the Nedbank Business Hub to provide a single digital channel for all our clients’ day-to-day transactional and servicing requirements with a consistent, omni-channel user experience. We will leverage the assets created through Managed Evolution and adopt agile and lean practices in partnership with Group Technology to accelerate our digital delivery.

The HE decline of 49,4% in H2 was better than the 91,2% reduction seen in H1, highlighting some degree of normalisation in economic activity. Allocated capital remained flat and, coupled with the much lower earnings, resulted in an ROE of 5,4%, up from 1,5% in June 2020. The main drivers of this performance are an 81,4% higher impairment charge and 4,9% lower revenues, while expenses decreased by 1,1% on the back of reduced staff incentives and active cost management. NII, although underpinned by moderate growth in advances and deposits, decreased as a result of higher funding costs and lower endowment income given the cumulative 300 bps decline in interest rates. Lower NIR was driven mainly by a reduction in client transactional activities and lower card acquiring revenue, particularly in the travel and leisure sectors, where we have a large market share. The decrease in revenues has resulted in PPOP decreasing by 10%. Impairments increased as clients felt the effect of earnings reductions due to the pandemic, although the impact anticipated at half year did not materialise to the full extent expected. This together with concerted collections efforts towards the end of 2020 resulted in a better-than-expected final impairment charge. We have maintained additional forward-looking information (FLI) impairment overlays across RBB to cover for further job losses that may still emerge given the fragile economy and further Covid-19-related lockdowns. We have also taken cognisance of our exposure to certain sectors of the economy that have been impacted more severely by the pandemic. Notwithstanding the weaker financial performance, RBB showed positive traction on a number of key non-financial metrics, including a 25% increase in digitally active clients, growth in main-banked clients in the EP-rich middle and affluent segments, market share gains in small business, improved Net Promoter Scores, maintaining second position in the South Africa Client Satisfaction Index (SAcsi), and showing positive trends in cross-sell. The business was also recognised at a number of awards, which are covered under the Digital Innovations section below. KEY DRIVERS OF THE 2020 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE NII decreased by 0,7% to R19 692m, driven mainly by lower endowment income and the higher cost of funds (including prime– JIBAR squeeze), with moderate growth in average advances. Average total banking advances increased by 3,7% to R348bn, driven primarily by growth in personal loans and vehicle finance. Retail lending growth accelerated in H2 after recording low volumes during the April and May lockdown as demand for new home loans and vehicle finance stalled and card balances decreased. Personal Loans has seen good market share growth given enhanced digital processes, preapproved-loan solutions and lending APIs. Overdrafts increased as we supported the cashflow needs of our SME and Business Banking clients. Overall new-loan payouts decreased by R7,1bn to R97bn when compared to 2019. We experienced record intake and payouts on secured lending in H2, particularly in Home Loans. Average deposits increased by 4,7% to R344bn. Our market share of household deposits declined to 15,7% at December 2020, due to proactive pricing decisions to ensure an appropriate balance between margin and volume. This was driven mainly by reduced market share in demand and term deposits (down from 18,5% to 17,7%) as aggressive rate behaviour from competitors increased. Defaulted advances increased by 48% to R31,3bn from R21,1bn in December 2019, increasing the defaulted book to 8,3% of the advances portfolio, up from 5,8% in December 2019. Balance sheet impairments rose to 5,1% of total advances (2019: 3,9%) and coverage on the performing book increased to 2,15% from 1,54%. In particular, stage 2 coverage has increased from 6,94% to 9,48% as we have moved R771m of our Covid-19-related FLI provision to stage 2 in line with an expectation of R3,8bn of impacted GLAAs. It should, however, be noted that these GLAAs have not shown any individual stress behaviour, but on a portfolio basis we expect some of our clients to still be impacted by income and job losses in 2021. The CLR of 240 bps is an increase from 138 bps in the previous year. We have seen an increase in impairments due to higher consumer stress driven by a worsening macroeconomic environment as a result of the Covid-19 lockdown. Covid-19-related impairments of R1,8bn include job-loss-related FLI overlays (R1,0bn) to account for the likelihood that clients would still experience distress into 2021, Directive 3/2020 loans to cater for short-term residual risk of R334m, and a R416m provision to cater for specific industry stress in Business Banking. The loan repayment profile of the Directive 3/2020 payment relief population was significantly better than expected, with 88% of clients having repaid (79% have made three or more payments) and 9% having missed a payment (6% in stage 2 and 3% in stage 3). At December 2020, 3% had not yet matured (2% had had payment holidays extended and 1% were still under the original payment holiday). In addition, R5bn of these Directive 3/2020 loans had been repaid, with only R200m written off. 79 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 NIR decreased by 11,2% to R11 830m, primarily as a result of a reduction in transactional income and lower revenue from Card Issuing (a combined reduction of 9,4% yoy was offset by average product price increases of 3,25% from 1 January 2020). The NIR decrease was driven by Covid-19 lockdown impacts evident in falling card spend, lower sales across products, unfavourable client behaviour (eg increased transacting within bundles or a shift to self-service channels), higher insurance claims and fee waivers provided to clients during the height of the crisis. Expenses decreased by 1,1% to R20 161m, driven by reduced incentives and cost savings of R1 342m through ongoing, active cost management and a reduction in discretionary spend during the Covid-19 lockdown. Headcount has also decreased by 290 to 17 379 since December 2019, mainly achieved through natural attrition as we continue to leverage our investment in digital and Managed Evolution. In 2017 we launched our cost optimisation programme through the Business Transformation Office and by the end of 2020 we achieved R1,4bn in cumulative savings, driven mainly by our branch optimisation programme and process optimisation through robotic process automation (RPA) and digital transformation initiatives. Execution of our strategic focus areas Clients – Total client numbers decreased to 7,3 million, driven by lower transactional client numbers as transactional sales fell by 22%, impacted by the lockdown period. However, the number of main-banked clients was flat, falling slightly by 0,1% yoy to 2,94m at December 2020. This was a good outcome considering that main-banked clients had fallen to 2,65m in June 2020 as Covid-19 lockdown led to lower levels of client acquisition and client transacting frequency. Lower client transacting frequency impacts Nedbank’s main-banked count, as Nedbank’s ‘main-banked’ definition assumes regular transactional behaviour. Nedbank’s main-banked share of South African adults in 2020 was 11,2%, which was flat yoy. The share is estimated from the 2020 edition of a survey run annually by Consulta, an independent research company, that asks South African individuals, ‘Who is your main bank?’ With flat yoy growth in main-banked share, Nedbank was the second-best performing of SA’s top five retail banks regarding yoy change in main-banked share. In terms of our client experience metrics, Nedbank registered excellent gains in 2020 relative to peers. Consulta’s annual survey reported that Nedbank was now second among the big five retail SA banks on the Net Promoter Score (NPS), an improvement from third place in 2019. Nedbank retained its second position in the SAcsi – another measure of client experience – and extended the gap when compared to the third-placed bank. Nedbank’s performance reflects a seven-year positive trajectory in its NPS and SAcsi scores. Furthermore, Nedbank performed the best of the big five banks in loyalty scores, measured by a brand tracker study that Consulta conducts. Nedbank is proud to have received three awards from the Asian Banker for most helpful bank during Covid-19 in SA and Africa and most recommended retail bank in SA for credit cards. Nedbank has also achieved pleasing improvements in its cross-sell ratio. Overall, the cross-sell ratio in Consumer Banking has improved from 1,85 to 1,87. In addition, the cross-sell ratio for new clients has improved dramatically, driven mainly by CorePlus, with new clients now joining with an average of 1,9 products, compared to 1,2 products for the same period in 2019. Digital innovation – The acceleration of our digital journey continued into H2, with core capabilities built to make clients’ lives easier and more convenient, while security was enhanced simultaneously. Clients can now apply for homeowner’s insurance cover and claim directly through the bank’s digital platforms, Retail Relationship Banking clients can now apply for an overdraft, and informal traders can apply for trade grants on USSD platforms. Buying journeys and offerings were also improved, with a new array of unit trusts, additional choice of over 230 airtime and data products, an improved experience for claiming free basic electricity for qualifying clients, and an enhanced gaming and software product catalogue. A host of user-friendly features were introduced, including the ability to redeem Greenbacks into a savings or investment account or to donate them to a charity, enhanced statements, and more seamless loan-offering processes. All these new and convenient features proved beneficial to clients as the various Covid-19 lockdown conditions prevailed. An exciting set of new features is planned for launch in Q1 and early Q2 2021 that will bring about a new payment functionality, a personal-financial-management capability and an enhanced self-service experience through chat. Nedbank also established key strategic relationships that will consume products through API Marketplace, further extending the digital distribution capability beyond Nedbank-owned channels. Notably, Gumtree has partnered with MFC to use the Asset Vehicle Finance (AVF) APIs to better connect buyers and sellers in Gumtree Auto. Global small-business cloud accounting platform Xero has collaborated with Nedbank to provide SME clients with access to their financial data through a fully digital, API-enabled bank feed. Throughout 2020 API Marketplace enhanced the platform and product capability, further laying the foundation for the scaling of the existing products (Personal Loans, Vehicle Asset Finance, Wallet, Rewards, Payments, Open Data). Digital sales and servicing have benefited from the commercialisation and product focus applied to API Marketplace in 2020, contributing to alternate revenue streams for Nedbank. Avo by Nedbank, the super app that brings customers and businesses together, has scaled significantly since its beta launch in May 2020. With more than 145 000 customers and over 5 000 businesses signed up to Avo by year-end, Avo continued to accurately match customers’ lifestyle needs to product and service offerings through powerful AI, safe and secure payments, and bank-grade security. Under lockdown restrictions Avo pivoted initially to provide access only to essential goods and services and deliver to homes throughout SA. However, as restrictions started to lift new customer journeys and experiences were introduced to Avo, extending the proposition beyond online grocery shopping, home services and health essentials. These included offering a wide variety of goods and services, including tech, furniture, gaming and home appliances; extending the on-demand delivery to takeaway and liquor; and creating SA’s first digital mall experience by extending the offerings of outlets to a wider audience on Avo with a convenient click-and-collect lounge situated at the mall. These fresh and relevant customer experiences continue to contribute to Avo’s success as a double-sided platform, providing not only great convenience and value to customers but also a digital marketplace that continues to attract small, medium and large enterprises looking to extend their business models and accelerate their digital and e-commerce strategies in the new normal. Digitally active clients increased by 25% to 2,22 million, with 1,18 million clients using the Nedbank Money app (up 42% yoy). The growth is driven by the wide array of additional account opening, self-service and beyond-banking digital propositions, which have been designed to ensure exceptional client experiences. Logons per user have continued to increase, indicating growing usage levels due to the number of services available and 80 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS for the year ended 31 December SEGMENTAL VIEW Total Retail and Business Banking Business Banking Consumer Banking Relationship Banking 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 Headline earnings (Rm) NII (Rm) Impairments charge on financial instruments (Rm) NIR (Rm) Operating expenses (Rm) ROE (%) ROA (%) CLR – banking advances (%) NIR to total operating expenses (%) Cost-to-income ratio (%) Interest margin (%) Total advances (Rm) Average total advances (Rm) Total deposits (Rm) Average total deposits (Rm) Average allocated capital (Rm) 1 595 19 692 5 293 19 831 803 3 784 1 383 4 129 161 13 257 2 789 13 238 8 746 11 830 20 161 5,4 0,42 2,40 58,7 64,0 5,40 356 272 347 598 354 243 343 724 29 573 4 823 13 318 20 384 17,3 1,44 1,38 65,3 61,5 5,67 349 396 335 101 338 901 328 272 30 573 853 1 777 3 561 11,4 0,55 1,10 49,9 64,0 2,60 74 860 75 668 143 442 139 408 7 023 382 1 934 3 724 19,0 0,94 0,50 51,9 61,4 2,83 77 658 75 459 139 603 139 301 7 292 7 480 7 070 12 601 0,9 0,07 3,32 56,1 62,0 3,58 233 769 225 428 124 763 121 763 18 160 4 238 7 852 12 726 14,4 1,28 1,95 61,7 60,3 3,72 225 689 217 198 118 872 116 022 19 412 815 2 635 379 1 475 2 587 26,3 0,90 0,82 57,0 63,0 2,91 46 938 45 585 85 750 82 197 3 092 969 2 556 131 1 465 2 536 32,5 1,20 0,32 57,8 63,1 3,17 44 779 41 041 80 627 72 548 2 980 Total includes income, impairments and costs relating to Channel, Card Acquiring and Shared Services, which are not reflected separately. ease of use, with our digital NPS ratings topping the rankings and app ratings consistently above 4,2.

The digital contribution for core product sales increased from an average of 12% in 2019 to 26% in 2020. The new nedbank.co.za platform landed its first digital journey as Personal Loans was deployed to the market in November and is already showing a marked improvement in sales. Despite the tough macroeconomic environment, digital payment volumes continued to grow, up by 17% yoy, with Money app payments increasing by 53% yoy. Exciting new digital features were landed, including the ability to receive inward international payments, and significant innovations are scheduled for release in H1 2021. The tremendous progress made in our digital journey was acknowledged by the market through improve rankings and awards. The Nedbank Money app was named the Best Retail Banking App SA at both the Global Banking & Finance Awards and International Business Magazine Awards; the Nedbank Money app was ranked second in SA by SAcsi and second overall when benchmarked globally against apps of leading US banks; and at the most recent awards by the Asian Banker Nedbank was also named the Best Retail Bank SA by both Global Banking & Finance Awards and International Business Magazine Awards. Further accolades were given in the form of the Nedbank API Marketplace being recognised globally by Innopay in their open-banking benchmark, with Nedbank being listed as one of the top Starters in Open Banking in 2020. Avo by Nedbank also achieved industry recognition, winning the category Best Mobile Wallet Award at Mobexx Awards 2020 and the Silver Loerie for Service Design at the 2020 Loerie Awards. Physical distribution – Our physical footprint reflects both the increased drive towards client self-service and a diverse SA consumer base that still requires face-to-face assistance. In response to shifts in client behaviour and preferences that were fast-tracked by Covid-19, we continued to optimise our branch footprint. Since December 2019 we closed 46 points of presence and opened four new branches and two in-retailer outlets. This reduction has not affected our coverage of the bankable population in SA, which remains around 85%. To date we achieved actual floor space reduction of close to 57 000 m2 at 31 December 2020, representing a total reduction in branch floor space of 25% from what we occupied in 2014. In response to the continued increase in transaction volumes through our self-service channels and additional closures we exceeded our revised targeted reduction in branch space of 49 000 m2 by the end of 2020. We expanded our ATM footprint with a further 44 devices to include 12 additional cash-accepting devices, and during this period cash dispensed through branches and ATMs decreased by 8%, largely due to the impact of Covid-19. Altogether, 84% of client cash deposits at branches are now being processed through cash-accepting ATM devices, an increase of 32% from 2016. In 2020 we continued to improve the experience of clients at our devices through landing touch screen ATMs and enriched functionality through the ability to apply for a loan in real time. In 2021 we will look to roll out our new ATM front-end, which will enable an improved client experience and new functions such as QR-code-initiated withdrawals from the app, meaning that clients will not have to touch our ATMs when touching ATMs has been deemed a Covid-19 risk, as well as real-time cash deposits, which will mean clients will no longer have to wait for funds to be reflected in their accounts. Clients will also be able to enrol for MobiMoney and pay bank-approved beneficiaries and all Nedbank accounts at any of our Intelligent Depositor devices. 81 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 PRODUCT VIEWS, EXCLUDING BUSINESS BANKING Home Loans VAF Unsecured Lending Transactional Card and Payments Forex and Investment 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 NII (Rm) 2 729 2 408 4 392 4 315 3 613 3 456 2 299 2 631 1 435 1 454 1 525 1 549 Consumer banking and other Relationship banking Impairments charge on financial instruments (Rm) Consumer banking and other Relationship banking 1 907 822 1 759 649 4 272 120 4 206 109 3 551 62 3 423 33 1 080 1 219 1 262 1 369 1 435 1 453 1 1 023 502 1 109 440 842 157 3 015 1 910 2 521 1 372 551 291 61 96 2 958 57 1 899 11 2 489 32 1 349 23 44 44 41 41 1 472 923 1 472 923 NIR (Rm) 252 249 701 712 656 707 4 858 5 198 3 450 4 254 194 240 Consumer banking and other Relationship banking Operating expenses (Rm) Consumer banking and other Relationship banking Headline earnings (Rm) Consumer banking and other Relationship banking ROE (%) CLR – banking advances (%) Cost-to-income ratio (%) Interest margin (%) Average total advances (Rm) 206 46 203 46 690 11 702 10 621 35 677 30 3 581 1 277 3 920 1 278 3 428 22 4 228 26 110 84 164 76 1 655 1 537 1 548 1 434 1 648 1 624 6 961 7 228 3 349 3 441 1 368 1 430 1 119 536 334 304 30 1 102 435 680 562 118 1 467 81 1 360 74 1 589 59 422 1 083 427 (5) 1 059 24 67 63 4 1 585 39 832 5 425 1 536 5 579 1 649 3 335 14 3 425 16 1 007 361 91 395 831 1 (600) 691 (324) 719 19 13 6 936 249 928 8 87 162 1 108 322 254 114 140 6,4 13,8 5,6 14,6 2,1 22,1 3,6 13,3 0,7 29,2 39,5 35,0 0,64 0,12 2,69 1,81 10,88 6,16 23,66 22,08 8,94 5,42 55,5 2,03 57,9 1,86 30,4 3,64 28,5 3,82 38,6 15,29 39,0 15,36 97,3 4,48 92,3 5,91 68,5 8,24 60,3 7,87 79,6 1,00 79,9 1,07 130 552 124 366 106 781 101 218 21 040 19 546 114 117 13 855 14 658 2 2 The table does not include BB HE of R803m (2019: R1 383m) and other unallocated costs of R391m (2019: R270m) relating to Channel, Clients and Shared Services. Therefore, the table does not cross-cast. Significant progress has been made in enhancing functionality across self-service and online channels, providing our clients with enhanced convenience. Our network of 415 self-service kiosks within our branches allows clients to complete self-service actions at their own convenience such as changing their ATM limit, maintaining their profile, issuing statements and blocking and replacing cards for PAYU and Savvy Plus accounts. The long-term aim is to offer this across all accounts and to personalise cards for clients, making the card process much faster as we continue to offer convenient options for clients. The kiosks will also offer the ability to open PAYU accounts seamlessly; they are being piloted in four Boxer outlets. A further addition to our 24/7 zone in select branches is 58 lockers through which clients can collect their new or renewed cards and eNatis documents. The locker solution extends beyond banking and provides clients with a convenient collection point for items ordered on e-commerce sites such as Takealot, Avo or our Unlocked.Me platform. We plan to roll out more of these branches nationally and to select Engen garages. We are pleased with our progress in making it easier and more convenient for clients to access our services. Our Contact Centre is available to clients 24 hours a day and use has increased by 13%, substantially due to Covid-19. In 2020 we successfully piloted an arrangement where Contact Centre staff worked from home to ensure continuity in our channel during these tough times and we were also able to switch effectively temporarily branches to assist with Contact Centre volumes during Covid-19. New technologies landed in the Contact Centre to enable co-browsing, which allows clients to give access to agents to help them complete digital transactions more effectively. Our live chat also continues to grow, with 28,6% of all interactions now being non-voice, and we are investing in AI to further enhance our chat functionalities. In Q1 2021 we will go to market with a toll-free number that clients can call to remove airtime constraints, especially in the ELB segment. In 2020 we also identified the need to change our distribution approach in township economies and piloted two new concepts in the Easy Access branch in Marshalltown and a taxi rank acquisition model in Randburg. Further rollout was hampered by Covid-19, but 2021 will see the expansion of this model as we move away from a traditional branch model towards a more in-community mobile operating model leveraging a growing partnership base. Value propositions – We continue to commercialise several disruptive CVPs across our segments, including those covered under digital innovations. For the kids and teens segment (up to the 82 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 age of 16) we have collaborated with The Walt Disney Company Africa on the Disney series Ducktales and in the creation of a unique financial literacy series called Penny Power. Penny Power is a simple way to educate children on money management through a series of episodes that follows Penny opening a Nedbank4Me Account while learning to save money, bank safely and give back to her community. The response to Penny Power has been encouraging, with enhanced sales on our digital channels being particularly pleasing. In the ELB segment we have expanded our Proud of My Town programme to 10 townships in SA. Through this programme Nedbank contributes a share of card spend from clients in those communities towards community projects involving entrepreneurship, early-childhood development and food security. These efforts were extremely well-received by these communities, and Nedbank’s main-banked client growth and transactional sales growth have been better in those areas than in the rest of the country, demonstrating the power of the programme. We were also pleased to introduce the short-term loan product – an unsecured loan repayable within 30 days of amounts as little as R250, up to R6 000. Our pricing for this product is the most competitive of major South African banks. This is an important step forward in offering inclusive financial services to as many South Africans as possible. In the middle-market segment 2020 saw the launch of the Lifestyle Desk in our contact centre. This provides clients of our Platinum transactional product, Savvy Bundle, access to 24/7 contact centre support. The desk has agents dedicated to delivering superior service to this segment. Agents can fulfil all service requests as well as assist clients with opening or applying for new products. The client experience and cross-sell metrics from this desk have been pleasing. We also partnered with the Department of Small Business Development to provide payment solutions for Covid-19 relief grants, the Spaza Shop Support Scheme and the fruits-and-veggies grant. For the Spaza Shop Support Scheme we worked through our branches and selected Boxer stores with a Nedbank presence to facilitate applications for the scheme. The programme was launched in April 2020 and by the end of December 2020 we had received close to 9 500 applications, with more than 5 000 procurement cards issued to spaza shops preloaded with R3 500 each. For this group of spaza shop owners we partnered with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, offering tailored training on business education delivered in weekly modules via SMS and covering a range of topics critical to business growth and financial security, such as recordkeeping, savings and the benefits of electronic payments. This was well received, with a 99% enrolment rate having been achieved. We continued with the differentiated funding structure partnership with Pick n Pay, which facilitates the opening of new Pick n Pay market and bottle stores and/or the conversion or revamping of existing spaza shops or general dealers in townships to Pick n Pay-branded franchisees. To date we have offered transactional banking to 39 stores, of which 12 have been funded under this lending structure. To drive cashless payments in the informal trading sector, we have enabled MobiMoney wallets to accept Masterpass payments and also developed a pay code for traders. This unique SMS short code is issued to informal traders and enables them to accept payments through a MobiMoney wallet. These key capabilities provide clients with a simple, convenient and cost-effective way to receive funds, make deposits and withdrawals, and use value-added and payment services within the wallet. The Karri payments app kicked off 2020 with exponential growth in Q1, with active users, transaction value and number of transactions up by 96%, 82% and 98% yoy respectively. The subsequent closure of schools due to Covid-19 saw traditional collection activity come to a standstill. The Karri team, however, used this time to create new value for customers, launching a Covid-19 screening administration function, a tuck shop QR code solution as well as an exclusive partnership with Bidvest Waltons to help parents and schools with simplifying the purchasing, delivery and administration of stationery. The Karri app is more relevant now than ever, being used by more than 650 schools across SA and maintaining its position as one of the highest-rated apps (with a 4,5 rating). Despite the dramatic impact of Covid-19 the team managed to set an all-time record for monthly active users in February as well as an all-time record for monthly transaction value in November 2020. Treating clients fairly and market conduct – 2020 saw Nedbank demonstrate its brand promise through a number of interventions. These included enabling debt relief applications through various channels, enabling clients to use and adopt online banking through remote assistance and education, keeping the complaints teams and branches available (essential services) to assist our clients, improving measures for safe queue management, attending to vulnerable clients’ needs, and executing a communication strategy to ensure our clients were kept updated with all developments. The formal market conduct programme was completed in October 2020, and new processes were developed through the programme to deliver fair client outcomes. We remain on our market conduct journey into 2021, as we seek to implement best practices for more and improved fair client outcomes. Loyalty and rewards – Having successfully launched the new Greenbacks programme in September 2019, we saw good growth in 2020 and launched several new developments, despite the challenges presented by Covid-19. The new Greenbacks is not just a rewards programme but a money management programme that prompts, incentivises and rewards good money behaviours. The planned evolution of the programme is designed to help and support our clients, even more so now given the financial hardships faced by many consumers. We have successfully launched the Card Swiper package (credit card), Money Manager package (transactional products), Responsible Borrower (loan products from Home Loans, Personal Loans and MFC) as well as the Structured Saver package (investment products). Membership has already grown to over 1 000 000, with monthly enrolments growing rapidly, and of this base 65% are now main-banked. With the focus on digital delivery, the programme has launched multiple redemption options via the Money app and Online Banking. In addition to giving clients the option to redeem Greenbacks to pay for card fees or bank charges, as deposits into unit trusts, or to support an affinity of their choice, they can now also donate to the Solidarity Fund. Clients can also redeem their Greenbacks for airtime, data and electricity using the USSD functionality, allowing a broader base of the population now to benefit from this capability. The Greenbacks SHOP Card for business and corporate clients was launched during the year. The card enables the conversion of Greenbacks to rands to be used to spend or grow their business. Similarly, we launched the American Express Membership Rewards Card, unlocking over R130m for clients and auto-enrolling a large portion of our base – a world first within the American Express global network. 83 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Looking forward We anticipate a partial rebound in 2021. The current shift to digital by businesses and consumers, including the sustained adoption of remote working and learning practices, is expected to continue. To support our clients in the envisaged ‘new normal’, we remain committed to delivering on our client-centred growth strategy and boldly executing our plans to deliver delightful client experiences through digital transformation using the five strategic levers of digital first, first in digital; leading client experiences; efficient operating model; new growth vectors; and equipping our staff to lead and manage change. We expect continued momentum in advances, with recovery in the CLR coming off a high base in 2020. We will continue to diversify NIR-generating products given the significant impact of Covid-19 lockdown while still continuing to optimise expenses. Our focus remains on accelerating financial inclusivity of our banking propositions through leading client experiences to meet evolving client needs by commercialising existing CVPs and developing new disruptive CVPs, delivering competitively priced products, actively reducing transacting costs for our clients through digital banking services, and tapping into platform-based propositions to offer beyond-banking solutions. The focus for 2021 will be on expanding and fully commercialising existing offerings such as Avo, the new Greenbacks programme and township economy solutions, while also launching new innovations, including Money Tracker – Nedbank’s integrated personal financial management tool; international payment features on Online Banking and the Money app; and the business hub portal to enable self-service for larger businesses. In terms of digital capabilities for small, medium and large businesses, we continued development and implementation of our enterprise juristic client onboarding and servicing platform (Nedbank Business Hub). The Business Hub is an important component of our overall digital juristic journey, more so in an accelerated post-Covid-19 landscape, and is the first step towards an enhanced digital relationship with our clients and includes the ability for staff to leverage the capabilities on a client’s behalf. The Business Hub allows clients to have a holistic view of their transactional Nedbank accounts on one banking portal, from which they can also digitally start product onboarding, access and track services (some of which are already straight-through), as well as access and maintain transactional channels. The Business Hub is accessed via a world-class, single security and authentication solution that provides a choice of mobile or token second-factor authentication. We are currently reimagining the strategic focus areas of our business to leverage the strong capabilities built over the years, especially our digital capabilities, to expand our offerings to new markets, to create new disruptive products and solutions, and to develop new revenue-generating opportunities, including township economies, black industrialists, strategic partnerships, integrated payment capabilities, and platform and API Marketplace-based solutions. Future distribution investments are aimed at ensuring an optimal client channel footprint. This will provide more self-service device options for clients, ensure a marginally reduced branch footprint, as well as enable a reformatted strategy aimed at unlocking more space efficiencies and equipping branches with self-service capabilities to provide convenient alternatives for our clients. There is also a focus on quality-client acquisition. We aim to achieve this through deepening the relationship with our clients by improving the client experience and ensuring we have value-adding, cost-effective products that will drive improvement in our key NPS. We have launched our new staffed interface for account opening and servicing, which will further enhance growth in our transactional-banking franchise by reducing the amount of staff-assisted time required to onboard new clients and by facilitating better cross-selling and client experiences. NEDBANK RETAIL AND BUSINESS BANKING SEGMENTAL REVIEW Business transfers Following an in-depth review of industry practices and internal capabilities, the annual turnover threshold for Business Banking clients was lifted from R10m to R30m in 2019, motivated by a need for Business Banking to create capacity to focus on larger SMEs, coupled with a business model in Retail Relationship Banking that is well-geared to serve small businesses with lower complexity. As a result, about 17 000 clients with a turnover of R10m to R30m were transferred from Business Banking to Retail Relationship Banking in July 2019. This saw the following movements for the prior period: • R3,9bn in advances. • R7,2bn in deposits. • R78m in HE for six months. • 7 297 client groups (equivalent to 17 000 client records). Business Banking Business Banking provides relationship-based banking services to mid-sized corporates and agricultural, franchising and public sector entities with an annual turnover of less than R750m but more than R30m. Comments below reflect the core Business Banking yoy performance adjusted for the client migration to Retail Relationship Bank. Business Banking generated HE of R803m and achieved an ROE of 11,4% despite a muted economy not yet operating at pre-Covid-19 levels. It was evident that activity levels increased during H2, with GOI decreasing by only 4,9% in H2 when compared to 6,6% in H1, while judicious cost management resulted in expenses decreasing by 1,6% yoy. Impairment levels improved, with CLR moving from 150 bps in H1 to 110 bps in H2. Given the tough economy, new-loan payouts declined to R23,5bn yoy, with average advances increasing by only 2,9%, notwithstanding strong growth in overdrafts of 9%, as we supported our clients with funding during the crisis. Average deposits increased by 2,7%, as clients managed their cashflows more carefully, coupled with competitor pressures in the market given the low-interest-rate environment. Business Banking remains a strong generator of funding, with R73,1bn in net surplus funds generated. The CLR of 110 bps increased by 60 bps yoy and is above the TTC target range of 50–70 bps, as we raised Covid-19-related overlays of R406m. The increase in impairments reflects the potential deterioration in the credit portfolio due to Covid-19 credit risk across all the key sectors, including our estimation of downstream impacts. Given the continuing risk in high-stress sectors such as hotels, tourism and franchising, among others, although we consider ourselves to be adequately provided, there is further downside risk across these sectors and related downstream sectors due to the uncertainty around the extent and duration of lockdown restrictions. 84 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Enhanced analytics to identify client attrition risk and to support targeted client acquisition, cross-sell and retention efforts, as well as increased client engagements during the crisis, have resulted in significant improvements in client satisfaction and improved client loyalty ratings in the second quarter. Although active client groups declined yoy to 14 583, these have collectively contributed to a three-percentage-point increase in market share to 23% owing to an increased number of clients nominating Nedbank as their main bank in 2020. As a responsible bank that sees money differently, we introduced proactive support measures for our clients during this very challenging period in the form of various financial assistance mechanisms and loan restructures to around 5 200 clients totalling over R16bn. In addition to proactive funding assistance and loan restructures, Business Banking has also provided assistance of R645m to qualifying businesses via the SME loan guarantee scheme. Business Banking has also been instrumental in actively driving awareness of our new innovative market trading platform, Avo, to assist merchants in their effort to sustain business and trade through the various Covid-19 alert levels. Despite limited marketing presence, the 2020 Brand Performance Annual Report indicates an increase in awareness levels of 4% for Business Banking from 70% in January to 74% for the full year, with consideration levels also increasing by 4% to 42%. Client loyalty reached a new high of a pleasing 91% for the full year, the highest we have seen following the proactive client engagements initiated by our frontline teams during this crisis. Nedbank Business Banking achieved the highest loyalty score across all main banks. Business Banking is well positioned to support the growth of SA and our people by enabling business growth through the delivery of key initiatives to the business sector that will add to the future sustainability of SA. We will also continue to focus on delivering delightful client experiences through the consistent performance of our core banking propositions. To do so we will continue to leverage our capability in developing digital advances, which includes providing machine-learning tools to our frontline client service teams. A further focus will be developing propositions that will unlock new markets and new revenue streams, including high-end disruption through the delivery of ecosystem-led CVPs that are enabled by digital innovation. Retail Relationship Banking Retail Relationship Banking (RRB) provides relationship-based banking services to affluent individuals and their households (salaried and self-employed), to non-resident clients and embassies, and to SMEs with a turnover of less than R30m and their business owners. The relationship banking CVP is designed for clients seeking a personalised, flexible and proactive approach, and caters for the more complex financial needs typically associated with the above-mentioned client segments. Despite the stressed Covid-19 macroeconomic environment and significantly lower interest rates, RRB delivered R815m in HE and a solid ROE of 26,3%. This demonstrates both the resilience of the underlying client segments (albeit with small-business clients taking more strain than affluent clients) and the quality of the RRB business itself, which remains a significant contributor to the overall performance of the cluster. Rebased HE declined by 22% yoy, of which almost half is attributable to a reduction in endowment earnings, given lower interest rates. Average advances growth recovered to 6,1%, driven by record home loan and reasonable vehicle sales and the Covid-19 loan applications. Average liabilities growth of 7,9% improved on the prior year, which meant the business increased the net funding contribution to the cluster and group to R41,3bn. The RRB CLR has increased from 32 bps to 82 bps and reflects a stressed scenario beyond the TTC range of 40–80 bps. Impairments include an FLI overlay of R117m for job losses. In addition to proactive funding assistance and loan restructures to approximately 15 000 clients, RRB also provided assistance in excess of R680m to qualifying businesses via the SME loan guarantee scheme and R300m via the SA Future Trust. From a strategic perspective, the Professional Banking value proposition remains a well-priced, high-value offering in the very competitive private-banking category. Our digital platforms – Online Banking and the Money app – provide extensive self-service capabilities, while the relationship model ensures a quick, tailored response to the more complex banking needs. Progress in terms of establishing Nedbank as a leader in this segment is evidenced by an improving trend in NPS, with the bank achieving the highest SAcsi score in the market and steady growth. Market share, however, remained flat yoy. Additional enhancements to our digital platforms, including the end-to-end digital onboarding of a professional client, is expected to yield further growth. Nedbank also remains well positioned in the small-business segment, with urban market share increasing to 23% as a result of positive perceptions regarding our ability to understand and serve the needs of this important sector. According to the 2020 Small Business Tracker (a Nedbank-commissioned survey that has been running for 12 years and is conducted by independent research company KPI Research), small-business owners now rank Nedbank as the market leader in the provision of banking services to this market. H2 saw significant emphasis placed on closing the remaining gaps to make the Online Banking and Money app channels fully functional for small businesses. For small-business owners this means a seamless experience as they can manage their personal and business banking in one place. The migration of small-business clients to the new platforms is now almost complete, setting the foundation for ongoing enhancements and innovation in this market. The SimplyBiz beyond banking portal has grown to over 17 000 registered users and continues to offer much-needed guidance and support to small-business owners with initiatives like the Shifting Gear programme, Back-a-Business crowdfunding campaign and the hosting of webinars on a variety of topics. Looking ahead to the coming year, focus in RRB will remain on balancing the need to support our client base with funding where possible, while also managing risk tightly. Further investments into digital enablement (such as appointment booking, digital account opening and credit applications, as well as financial management capabilities) will strengthen Nedbank’s position in this highly contested market space. Consumer Banking Consumer Banking serves approximately 6,6 million clients in three primary subsegments, namely youth, ELB and the middle market. These consist mostly of individuals earning less than R750 000 a year, but also include some non-individual clients, primarily stokvels, clubs and societies. Consumer Banking generated HE of R161m in 2020, with HE of R416m reported in H2, showing an improvement when compared to the headline loss of R255m in H1. The 2020 HE of R161m is a 94% decline when compared to 2019 HE of R2,789m. The major swing in HE relative to 2019 came on the impairments line mainly as a result 85 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 of the impact of Covid-19. The CLR increased to 332 bps in 2020, up from 195 bps in 2019. Impairments grew to R7,480m in 2020, up by R3,242m or 76,5% from the 2019 level of R4,238m. This large increase in impairments materially impacted HE for 2020. Revenue growth was also challenging in a Covid-19- and lockdown-impacted consumer market. NII was largely flat at 0,1% growth, underpinned by advances growth on average of 3,8% per annum and liabilities growth on average of 4,9% per annum, offset by lower margin and endowment. NIR was down by 10%, due to transacting volumes being well below prior years during the lockdown period. Reduced sales of Transactional and Card products due to lockdown also contributed to the lower NIR. Expenses were reduced by 1% for the year, as the business minimised discretionary spend and continued to harvest efficiencies in distribution and from digitising onboarding and servicing. Beneath the challenged financial performance in the first half of 2020 is a business that is showing positive fundamentals to support profitable growth going forward. Firstly, the client experience has continued to shift positively. Consulta’s annual survey reported that Nedbank was now second of the big five retail SA banks on NPS, having leapfrogged from third place in 2019. Nedbank retained its second position in the SAcsi, another measure of client experience. Secondly, our performance on cross-sell is improving after many years of being flat. The Consumer Banking cross-sell ratio has improved to 1,91 in December 2020, from 1,85 in December 2019. This is supported by a client-centred, opportunity-based cross-sell strategy (Core Plus), which has been rolled out across the branch network. Under this strategy, we are experiencing a material improvement as new-to-Nedbank clients are now joining with an average of 1,84 products per client, compared to 1,16 a year ago. Furthermore, we have deployed a data-driven ‘next best action’ capability, which empowers our frontline with cross-sell and upsell leads. Thirdly, our digital journey continues to be a platform for us to create even better convenience for more of our clients, and a more efficient operating model. Across transactional, credit cards, investments and personal-loans products, the share of sales Nedbank does through digital channels is now ahead of the average of SA banks, as reported by Finalta. The digitisation of client onboarding journeys through our front-end platform, Eclipse, has been a material contributor to the improved client experience referenced above. It offers clients benefits such as shorter onboarding times and same-day disbursal of personal loans. Eclipse also supports efficiencies by being paperless and straight-through. Digital servicing also improved, with digitally active clients growing to 2,2 million, an improvement of 25% yoy. These fundamental improvements are starting to show themselves on the BA900s, with Nedbank improving market share in 2020 for personal loans, overdrafts, vehicle loans and home loans. From H2 2020 the credit card product also registered improved market share. In summary, the financial performance in Consumer Banking has been challenging, largely due to pressure on the impairments line. However, there are some fundamental markers of improved competitiveness versus peers, in particular regarding client experience, BA900 market share in most products, and the share of sales performed digitally. Together with the improvements in cross-sell, these trends are a firm foundation on which the business can build to achieve profitable growth going forward. NEDBANK RETAIL AND BUSINESS BANKING PRODUCT REVIEW Transactional Banking Transactional Banking provides fully inclusive access to banking by offering affordable and meaningful banking to clients across all income levels, enabling financial inclusion and effective money management through key innovations such as MobiMoney, Unlocked.Me and savings pockets. Social distancing and lockdown regulations resulted in elevated volumes of self-service transactions, with a notable shift in behaviour away from the branch to ATMs and digital channels for cash withdrawals, deposits and payments. Payments for goods and services resulted in increased usage of EFTs, instant payments and Send-iMali transactions. Send-iMali volumes further increased due to the need for people to send money instantly and cost-effectively to loved ones countrywide. The purchasing of value-added services such as airtime, electricity and Lotto also increased, demonstrating the value and convenience of the availability of these services. As we continue on our digital journey, all our transactional products are now enabled for straight-through processing on the Money app and Online Banking. This supports the delivery of delightful client experiences that enable convenient and seamless account activation. The client experience has been further enhanced with card delivery to lockers, home or office, thereby ensuring our clients can bank safely. MobiMoney wallets continue to resonate with clients, with almost one million wallets opened to date. This continues to be an innovative and market-leading solution, zero monthly maintenance fees, free deposits up to R4 000 per month, and the ability to pay bills and buy airtime and electricity. Payment options have been increased through the enablement of Masterpass and a unique feature called Paycode, which enables informal traders with a MobiMoney wallet to receive payments from customers. We continue to deliver client-centred innovations on this platform. Our targeted acquisition strategies have been focused on key industries and clients subsegments, enabling wallets for previously underserviced individuals. Card and Payments Card and Payments provides card issuing, acceptance and payment products and solutions across all client segments, extending beyond Retail into Nedbank Private Wealth. It is also responsible for the bank’s commercial card offerings. Card and Payments offerings include key innovations such as tap on phone, scan to pay, Market Edge and GAP Access. Card-related NIR and client spend growth saw a strong recovery in H2 as lockdown measures eased and economic activity resumed. The recovery of certain sectors that have been harder hit by ongoing restrictions is slower, in particular travel, entertainment, restaurant and hospitality. However, other industries, including supermarkets and retail, healthcare and telecommunications, are seeing significant growth in volumes across all the levels of lockdown, with online e-commerce driving most of the spend during the strictest lockdown levels. Spend in Card Issuing grew by 22% in H2 2020 on H1 2020, with Card Acquiring volume growth at 30% for the same period. The growth for Card Issuing and Card Acquiring was driven by the economic recovery, seasonality, increased client acquisition and limit increases for Card Issuing. 86 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Consumers and merchants are keenly interested in minimising the risk of exposure to Covid-19 through person-to-person contact or shared surfaces. The pandemic has prompted surges in online shopping and the use of contactless payment technologies. It has also fuelled the popularity of recent shopping innovations, including app-based shopping, curbside pickup and QR-code-based ordering and purchasing. There was a significant increase in the use of our digital payment methods, with growth of 62% in e-commerce volumes, over 500% growth in contactless payments and 37% growth in QR payments. The introduction of national lockdowns and curfews has also resulted in a noticeable shift in consumer spend patterns, with trade peaking between 09:00 and 15:00 versus the pre-Covid-19 pattern of between 09:00 and 19:00. While the pandemic has been the main driver of these trends, we expect these trends to continue and become the new normal in transacting behaviour. Our Card and Payments innovation agenda was dominated by digitally enabled, simple, secure and cost-effective payments. Nedbank is a leader in mobile payments through its scan-to-pay capability; Masterpass acceptance; Samsung, Garmin and Fitbit Pay solutions; as well as market leading e-commerce solutions across a broad network of merchants. Nedbank is also the first in Africa to launch tap on phone, a payments solution that enables businesses to accept payments by simply using an Android smartphone for contactless card payments. Nedbank also launched the SEFA small-business card during the pandemic in partnership with the Department of Small Business Development, as well as the Pick n Pay Smart Shopper card for businesses, enabling Pick n Pay stores to purchase goods and services directly at beneficial rates while earning rewards points within the Smart Shopper programme. Card and Payments digitised its client onboarding and servicing capabilities by going live on the Eclipse platform in the consumer card segment, enabling our frontline channels and client self-service area to digitally onboard clients, assess their credit, open accounts and issue cards. Similarly, in the commercial card environment, Nedbank has been piloting a juristic servicing and onboarding platform aimed at enabling digital statements, real-time transaction listings and balances, as well as offering other unique commercial card services to a range of small-business, business banking and corporate clients. Forex and investment products Our purpose is to create investment and forex value propositions that are centred on evolving client experiences by steadily improving digital channels, enabling a lower cost-to-serve model. As interest rates declined, we have noted aggressive pricing from competitors, which we intentionally did not match as it would have resulted in a negative margin and this reduced new and additional investment volumes. During 2020 we expanded the investment capabilities on the Money app and Online Banking to include Nedgroup Investments unit trusts and tax-free savings products. Consumer digital investment volumes have improved to 65% of new accounts opened (FY 2019: 36%) and 74% of notices of withdrawal (FY 2019: 53%). In the 2020 SAcsi report on notices and saving, client-perceived value, client satisfaction and client loyalty increased by 1%, 2% and 3% respectively. We look forward to our consistent efforts yielding a positive tilt in the portfolio going forward. The Forex business aims to create new and improved trade and cross-border payment value propositions across all RBB segments. These include travel cards, foreign banknotes, remittances and foreign currency accounts, and are among the business-related services that enable clients to import and export with well-managed risks. We observed material reductions in revenues resulting from travel restrictions, largely eliminating travel card and foreign banknotes volumes from late March. Import and export values and outgoing international payments have been under pressure, with heightened competitive margin compression being seen in the market. The Nedbank individual forex international banking and travel container was launched on the Money app in 2020. The forex container features the Travel (buy and sell currency for yourself or your child), Invest or Save (view balances) functionalities, as well as those enabling a digitised experience of international incoming and outgoing payments and cross-order remittance payments to Africa. The digitisation of various other services will be delivered in 2021, including of international incoming and outgoing payments for small businesses. The cross-border-remittance footprint will be expanded from Africa to international destinations and will include incoming money transfers through a partnership with Western Union. Unsecured Lending Unsecured Lending serves all segments of Consumer Banking with personal loans, overdrafts and student loans. The gross personal-loans portfolio (excluding disclosure adjustments) of R25,2bn represents the majority (97%) of Unsecured Lending's total advances. Unsecured Lending HE was negatively impacted by a 84% increase in net impairments due to Covid-19, resulting in a CLR increase from 6,16% to 10,4%. In total, approximately a quarter of the portfolio requested assistance due to either personal or household income stress in 2020. Credit risk management and collections remain the key priority in this environment. Credit policy was tightened in April by reducing risk appetite on high-risk clients, and sector-specific tightening was implemented. In addition, the collections team headcount was increased to manage increased volumes and as a result collections performance exceeded expectations in H2 2020. Early risk indicators have returned to pre-Covid-19 levels and are in line with risk appetite and expectations. Personal Loans average advances increased by 9,7%, while period-end advances were up by 11,0%, resulting in total market share of 10,9%, up from 9,9% in the prior year. New-business market share in targeted lower-risk segments increased to 17%, compared to 13% in 2019, having reached more than 20% in Q4. All new business is now being written on a new technology stack via Eclipse or the Nedbank Money app. The shift to digital continues to gain momentum, as evidenced by the 50% fourth-quarter increase in value disbursed from direct channels (call centres and digital solutions) from pre-Covid-19 levels. During the lockdown more than 50% of personal loans were originated through direct channels, compared with 35% in the first quarter. Furthermore, self-service via digitisation increased to 37% versus 20% in 2019. A consumer overdraft solution was introduced in the Money app in Q4 2019, with the app becoming the biggest channel for new Nedbank overdrafts in 2020 – three to four times greater than the branch channel. Consumer overdraft volumes are up by 217% yoy. Transactional cross-sell after the sale of a personal loan to non-Nedbank clients has nearly doubled yoy from approximately 17% to 32% and remains a key lever in growing our main-banked base. 87 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 We have launched our fully digital personal-loans API solution, which enables both Nedbank and non-Nedbank clients to take out personal loans or pay for goods and services with just a few clicks in under 10 minutes. These initiatives are beginning to scale and are expected to provide further impetus to digital growth and enhance the market share trajectory for both Personal Loans and Transactional Banking via cross-sell. Home Loans Home Loans provides secured-lending products to the consumer, professional and SME segments, with the relationship segments RRB and Business Banking providing these products to their segments directly, leveraging off the home loans product line infrastructure for several of the administrative processes. HE declined by 51%, driven by higher-than-expected credit losses as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. In response to the pandemic, Nedbank Home Loans proactively assisted over 47 000 clients with debt relief totalling 17% of the book. The overall impairment coverage on the book has increased to 2,02%, resulting in a CLR of 64 bps. The South African property market was severely impacted by the lockdown restrictions in the second quarter, with estate agents and deeds offices not being able to operate. As restrictions eased, demand returned strongly and a significant increase in mortgage application volumes was experienced in the second half of the year, driven by pent-up demand and the lower interest rate environment. As a result, the value of new mortgages granted grew by 24% and overall advances by 4,79%, slightly ahead of the market, to R137bn. Nedbank continues to invest in innovative home loan CVPs, digital offerings and overall improvements in client service experience. For the last three years we have been working collaboratively across the group to eliminate pain points that hinder client experience. These efforts are bearing results, with Nedbank Home Loans now holding the top position in all measured constructs according to the Consulta SAcsi 2020 report. MFC MFC provides motor vehicle financing primarily to the consumer market segment. The financing of dealer floor plans and key vehicle distributor joint ventures are materially aligned with our vehicle finance dealer partner and client offering. MFC’s HE in the first half of the year decreased by 79%, but rebounded to a lower yoy decrease of 60% for the full financial year. MFC posted HE of R427m for 2020 (2019: R1,059bn). Lower HE was primarily attributable to decreased NII and increased impairment levels presented by the challenges of Covid-19. MFC provided financial support through payment holiday restructures to approximately 220 000 of our clients, representing R33bn in loans. The payment success rate on the Covid-19 restructured loans is very encouraging so far, and MFC had good collections success over December month-end when compared to 2019. The motor industry, like many major businesses in SA, saw a total shutdown of vehicle sales in the months of April and May as a result of Covid-19. With the relaxation in lockdown levels as well as consumers taking advantage of the lower interest rates, sales volumes recovered steadily over the few months following total lockdown, resulting in gross book growth of 4,7% yoy. The pandemic saw MFC move swiftly to a fully integrated digital process in terms of the origination and payout of vehicle finance, thereby protecting clients from potential exposure. Clients using this digital process increased from 33% to 93% in 2020, and the digital process will have a material positive impact on operational efficiencies going forward. MFC maintains a sustainable vehicle finance model and remains resolute in providing an ever-evolving value proposition to our dealer partners and clients.

Asset Management experienced a good overall performance, attracted positive net flows and delivered strong growth in AUM. Locally, Wealth Management earnings were impacted negatively by a substantial increase in credit impairments due to the difficult macroeconomic environment and Covid-19-related risks, coupled with substantially lower interest rates. The international Wealth Management business experienced a decline in earnings as a result of record-low USD and GBP interest rates. Insurance results were impacted by higher claims in the life portfolio, the negative effect of reduced interest rates on actuarial reserves and lower JSE investment returns on shareholder funds, albeit with a slight recovery in the fourth quarter. 94 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 NII decreased by 21,9% to R897m due to significantly reduced interest rates both locally and internationally, resulting in NIM contracting to 1,51%. The CLR deteriorated to 64 bps due to a significant increase in credit impairments locally as a result of the unprecedented macroeconomic environment and Covid-19-related risks. Payment relief of R7,8bn was provided to Nedbank Private Wealth clients in good standing to help them through short-term liquidity challenges. NIR declined to R3 303m, down by 3,9% as a result of higher claims in the life portfolio, the impact of reduced interest rates on actuarial reserves, and lower investment returns on shareholder funds in Insurance. NIR was further impacted by lower planner productivity on commission earned due to lockdown restrictions and reduced portfolio management fees in the local Wealth Management business. This was partially offset by higher client trading activity on the back of volatile markets, resulting in growth in brokerage income locally, and an increase in foreign exchange income internationally, as well as solid growth in AUM in Asset Management. The NIR-to-expenses ratio increased to 107,9%, with expenses declining by 1,7% as costs continue to be well managed. The cost-to-income ratio increased to 72,9%, primarily due to the impact of the lower-interest-rate environment on NII. WEALTH MANAGEMENT Wealth Management’s HE declined by 92% to R20m, mainly driven by a substantial increase in credit impairments due to the impact of Covid-19 on the local business, as well as the effect of the low-interest-rate-environment, both locally and internationally. In addition, Covid-19 lockdown restrictions resulted in delays in the winding up of estates and clients continuing to de-risk their portfolios to lower-margin products. The pandemic further impacted new-business volumes in investment management and financial planning, resulting in lower investment advice fees, partially offset by strong growth in brokerage income. During the pandemic digital adoption increased significantly, with 20% more clients using the Nedbank Private Wealth app and the demand for Online Share trading accounts growing by more than 100%. A key focus area for the business is to provide seamless client experiences, with 77% of clients who transferred money between their SA and international accounts, using the Nedbank Private Wealth app. Internationally, earnings were impacted by reduced USD and GBP interest rates, resulting in lower revenue, while lending activity was affected by lower property transaction volumes combined with strong competition from UK ring-fenced banks. Despite the impact of Covid-19 on new investment business volumes and global stock markets, the business showed solid growth in AUA, while AUM remained steady compared to prior year. Nedbank Private Wealth International was named Best Boutique Private Bank at the 2020 WealthBriefing MENA Region Awards. NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 ASSET MANAGEMENT Asset Management delivered strong HE of R341m, up 7% due to good overall performance, strict expense control and growth in market share. AUM increased by 13,1% to R375bn, benefitting from positive net flows of R28bn, particularly in lower-risk cash and fixed-income funds. The Nedgroup Investments Core Fund range continued to grow and now exceeds R40bn and is the largest low-cost, multi-asset range in the SA market. The international range ranked third in the December 2020 PlexCrown Unit Trust Survey and is well positioned for South African clients to diversify their investments offshore. As part of an ongoing journey to enhance client experiences, Nedgroup Investments increased digital adoption, hosted over 70 online events, significantly increased their social-media following and integrated into several Nedbank platforms, including the Money app and Online Banking. In 2020 Nedgroup Investments launched MyRetirement, an innovative and industry-first retirement solution designed to help with the problem of insufficient retirement savings in SA. INSURANCE Insurance HE declined by 36% to R301m due to an increase in credit life loss-of-income and funeral claims resulting from Covid-19 and the impact of reduced interest rates on actuarial reserves, as well as lower investment returns on shareholder funds. This was offset by an improved non-life claims experience, most notably in the vehicle value-added products. Throughout 2020, Nedbank Insurance provided clients with a Nedbank unsecured loan the opportunity to apply for debt relief and claim for credit life protection through loss-of-income claims, underwritten by the life business amounting to more than R150m. In addition, Nedbank Insurance offered clients up to 10% discount on their premiums if a policy was purchased through a digital channel and the debit order was linked to a Nedbank account. Life EV increased by 13,1% to R3 606m despite higher retrenchment and mortality claims as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the continued weak economic environment. VNB decreased by 33% to R283m due to a reduction in sales volumes across all products as a result of lockdown restrictions, partially offset by higher average premiums. Non-life gross written premiums declined by 8,4% to R1,081m due to a decrease in sales volumes as a result of the constrained economic environment. Insurance reported a significant uptake in digital sales, notably in the funeral product, and continues to deliver numerous digital client solutions through various platforms with the intention of including the entire portfolio on Nedbank digital platforms by the end of 2021.

Uncertainty around a possible third wave of Covid-19 infections may result in higher credit impairments in our Wealth Management businesses and loss-of-income and death claims in our Insurance business. Ongoing competition from UK ring-fenced banks and a possible further reduction in the zero-interest rate environment are expected to impede earnings internationally. Nedbank Wealth is committed to providing world-class client service, building data and digital capability, driving new client growth and long-term performance, collaborating within the cluster and the rest of the group, as well as investing in people and culture. While the business continues to invest for the future, it is equally important to ensure operational resilience, improved returns and sustainable growth. The local Wealth Management business will focus efforts on creating an advice-led business that fulfils clients’ needs by delivering simplified solutions and commercialising digital tools. Collaboration within the group will be paramount to increasing client penetration and building an efficient and sustainable business. Our international Nedbank Private Wealth business will focus on new client growth and digital adoption and continue to build on its strategy of moving from an affluent banking-led business to a high-net-worth advice-led business. Asset Management remains committed to delivering long-term fund performance, making it simple, easy and secure to do business as well as taking further steps in their journey towards becoming leaders in responsible investing. Nedgroup Investments will continue to integrate with Nedbank’s online and Money app digital channels. Insurance will focus on enhancing client experiences, improving data capabilities, expanding mobile and digital platforms and collaborating within the group to penetrate the Nedbank client base, while being reliably there for clients during these uncertain times. In 2021 the Nedbank Insurance on-licence personal lines solution will be launched to the broader market and included on numerous Nedbank digital platforms, such as the Money app, in the first half of the year. 95 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT Rm Fair value of funds under management – by type Unit trusts Third parties Private clients Fair value of funds under management – by geography SA Rest of the world 2020 2019 314 539 957 59 050 273 243 946 56 947 374 546 331 136 296 971 77 575 264 448 66 688 374 546 331 136 Rm Reconciliation of movement in funds under management – by type Opening balance at 31 December 2019 Inflows Outflows Mark-to-market value adjustment Foreign currency translation differences Closing balance – 31 December 2020 Unit trusts Third party Private clients Total 273 243 617 754 (587 149) 8 266 2 425 314 539 946 235 (292) (14) 82 957 56 947 12 394 (15 062) 4 318 453 331 136 630 383 (602 503) 12 570 2 960 59 050 374 546 Rm Reconciliation of movement in funds under management – by geography Opening balance at 31 December 2019 Inflows Outflows Mark-to-market value adjustment Foreign currency translation differences SA Rest of the world Total 264 448 614 689 (588 846) 6 680 66 688 15 694 (13 657) 5 890 2 960 331 136 630 383 (602 503) 12 570 2 960 Closing balance – 31 December 2020 296 971 77 575 374 546 Favourable Unfavourable • Steady international AUM growth. • Significant decline in local and international interest rates. • Positive netflows in Asset Management. • Substantial growth in credit impairments. • Improved non-life claims experience. • Lending activity impacted by lower property • Costs well-managed. • Significant increase in digital adoption. transaction volumes. • Continued shift towards lower-risk products. • Increase in credit life loss of income and funeral claims in Insurance. 96 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Nedbank Africa Regions HEADLINE EARNINGS (Rm) RETURN ON EQUITY (%) 2 0 7 7 5 4 2 1 2 0 7 , 3 0 1 7 7 , , 2 0 ) 7 8 2 ( ) 0 1 8 ( , ) 6 3 ( , ) 6 2 1 ( 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Although the health impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Africa has been milder than on other regions, the socioeconomic wellbeing of many Africans has been affected negatively. Especially vulnerable have been those dependent on travel and tourism, and commodity exporting economies, particularly oil. Due to Covid-19 and its lockdown measures, sub-Saharan Africa's GDP is expected to have contracted by 2,6% in 2020, with per capita income declining significantly – the deepest contraction on record. All the countries in which Nedbank operates implemented various measures to curb the spread of the virus, which included: • lockdowns or partial lockdowns by implementing either states of emergency or states of disaster; and • strict social distancing at workplaces (including branches) as well as the implementation of health and safety protocols. With the second wave of infections in late 2020 and in early 2021, stricter measures were implemented to curb the spread of the virus. These included closing borders, imposing curfews (e.g. from 18:00 to 06:00 in Zimbabwe) and introducing strict business trading hours. Regulatory interventions in response to the pandemic in the countries where we operate included: • reducing liquid asset requirements and reserve requirements; • implementing conditions enabling banks to help with credit repayment holidays or restructures for clients affected by the pandemic; • directing banks not to declare and pay dividends; • encouraging banks to reduce merchant fees and pricing for digital channels; • reducing interest rates significantly; • requiring bank employees, who were declared essential workers, to work in rotation and restricting the number of employees working on premises; and • delaying the implementation of key rules and regulations, for example Basel 2.5 in Lesotho. Despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, our NAR business remains resilient on all key balance sheet measures and is well positioned for growth. Highlights include the following: • Our subsidiaries have adequate capital levels above minimum requirements and continue to report strong liquidity. • Through collaboration with our regulators and respective governments, we were able to support our clients with payment holidays and debt restructures. • Key business drivers continue to improve, for instance client growth and growth in digital usage. • Nedbank brand sentiment improved in most subsidiaries in 2020, with Zimbabwe being the leader in its market – a testament to our client-centred response. • West and Central Africa regions of ETI continue to deliver strong returns. OUR STRATEGY ON THE CONTINENT Once we emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we expect growth in regions where we operate to be faster than in SA. This will provide opportunities for diversifying earnings and returns over the longer term. Our strategy remains to own, manage and control banking operations in SADC and East Africa, and to give our clients access to a banking network in West and Central Africa through our strategic investment in the pan-African banking group ETI, which has subsidiaries in 33 African countries. As part of portfolio optimisation, we completed our exit from Malawi in H1 2020 and increased our stake in Banco Único to 87,5% as we look to leverage Mozambican growth opportunities for the Group. We are currently integrating the business into the group so that we can leverage our enterprise capabilities to unlock value from our investment. As part of the Zimbabwe business reconfiguration, work is being done to reshape the balance sheet to reduce the impact of monetary loss as a result of hyperinflation. We have reported an improvement in the net monetary loss in 2020 vs 2019. We are also refocusing to be more digital, with a special focus on wholesale, transactional banking, trade finance and cash management. As part of continuing to reimagine the business, we have also reduced our branch footprint. 97 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 BRANCHES BRANCHES ATMS ATMS 7 8 3 9 8 9 3 0 1 4 8 4 8 1 8 0 2 0 2 2 8 1 2 3 9 1 2016 2017 2018 2019 20201 2016 2017 2018 2019 20201 1 Malawi disposed of in H12020. 1 Malawi disposed of in H12020. SADC SUBSIDIARIES PERFORMANCE With our focus on driving workplace banking and rolling out sales squads in our wholesale business, our overall number of clients grew by 10% in 2020 to 334 000. In line with transforming our business for the digital age, we have increased our digitally enabled accounts and digitally active clients by 37% and 75% respectively. We increased our app payment and transfer volumes by 83% and 65% respectively, and increased volume and the value of value-added services (electricity, airtime, instant payments) by 121% and 91% respectively. As part of continuing to invest in our businesses and giving our clients improved offers and better experiences, we rolled out the following in 2020: • Nedbank Namibia launched IDToday, a digital identity management platform for the remote submission of clients' identity documents. IDToday enables clients to open a bank account on their phone by taking and submitting a selfie. • In Zimbabwe we launched a new online and offsite account application process, including offsite activation, which makes us one of only two banks in Zimbabwe with online account-opening capabilities. • We launched Send Money functionality in Namibia, Lesotho and eSwatini. It enables clients to send money to anyone with a valid cellphone number. In Zimbabwe we launched Zimswitch Instant Payment Interchange Technology (Zipit) to Ecocash transfer facility. Clients can now transfer money from Nedbank Mobile Banking (an app) to any Econet cellphone number. • We launched Nedbank Online in Eswatini, Lesotho and Namibia, the new personal online banking that offers clients the same features and benefits as the highly-rated Nedbank Money (Africa) App. • We launched U-Super Salário in Mozambique, a new super account that gives clients a host of benefits for having their salary paid into their Único account. After the third month of depositing their salary into the account, they can get an overdraft facility of up to 50% of their net monthly salary. • We introduced health insurance for Banco Único clients to give them access to a private network of health providers in Mozambique, SA, Portugal and India. All these new products and services were well received in their respective markets. We are continually focusing on improving our client service. Our clear, simple and bold aspiration is to be #1-rated in client experiences in every market where we operate. In 2020 we achieved significant improvements across many key client metrics: our Namibian and Lesotho businesses achieved the highest net promoter scores in their respective markets. As part of managing costs, we reduced our headcount by 9% to 2 352. This was a result of the disposal of the Malawi business, natural attrition and headcount freezes. We are also reimagining our business for a post-Covid-19 world and have been reviewing our distribution strategy. We reduced our branches by 6% to 84, and our ATMs by 2% to 193. As we focus on being a more digital business, new investments into our physical presence are limited to high-growth micro markets and the minimum presence that regulation requires. We have grown the number of point-of-sale (POS) devices by 3% to 8 780, resulting in an increase in merchant turnover of 30% to R11,7bn. Our progress was also acknowledged externally. Key awards won in 2020 include the following: • Nedbank Lesotho was awarded the Best Digital Bank in Lesotho and Best Corporate Governance Bank by the Global Banking & Finance Review. • Nedbank Swaziland won the award for the Most Innovative Digital Bank in Eswatini for 2020 at the International Finance Awards. • Banco Único was awarded Best Digital Bank of Mozambique by the Global Banking & Finance Review, making it the 25th award they have received for their digital offers. Banco Único was also awarded the Fastest Growing Retail Bank in Mozambique for 2020 (Global Banking & Finance Review). • Namibia won a Diamond Arrow Award at the PMR.Africa Namibia Country Survey Business Excellence Awards for Nedbank Private Banking, and was recognised in the category Companies/Institutions held in high esteem as good corporate citizens based on their corporate responsibility initiatives and investments over the past 12 months. • Nedbank Zimbabwe won the Sustainability Award at the 2020 Banks and Banking Survey Awards and was first runner-up in the 2020 Top Companies Awards in Zimbabwe for the banking sector category and first runner-up in the banking category at the 2020 Service Excellence Awards Ceremony category. ETI (WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA) Adjusting for the impact of a prior-year adjustment and goodwill write off in Nigeria, ETI’s financial recovery continued, albeit with slower earnings growth.

(Ecobank is a market leader in six countries and among the top three in 16 countries where they do business.) • Resilient financial performance in the Central, Eastern and Southern Africa (CESA) region, adversely impacted by hyperinflation in Zimbabwe. • Although there has been improvement, Nigeria continues to be a drag on the group’s performance, due to persistently elevated NPLs and ongoing economic headwinds, including a lower oil price and foreign exchange shortages for most of 2020. The collaboration between ETI and Nedbank continued, with more than 245 Nedbank client accounts having been opened at Ecobank businesses across the continent. We have also continued to grow treasury activities. It was encouraging that Ecobank Nigeria (ENG) was able to issue a NGN50bn (equating to approximately USD125m) 10-year subordinated Tier 2 bond during December 2020, while also placing a USD300m five-year Eurobond in January 2021 at a spread of 7,125%. Due to the prolonged decline of ETI’s listed share price below its carrying value, at 30 June 2020, Nedbank reviewed its impairments provisions. Various scenarios had supported VIU calculations above the carrying value of the investment, but to be prudent, we decided to impair the investment by R750m in the first half of the year. Our position was reassessed in December 2020 and no additional impairment was required. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Given the difficult macroeconomic environment, exacerbated by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, the HE of the Nedbank Africa Regions business declined by 97% to R12m, resulting in ROE of 0,2%. The performance reflects higher impairments and lower NII in our SADC businesses, and two once-offs items reported by ETI. Our SADC subsidiaries produced a loss of R141m from HE of R20m in 2019. The loss was driven by lower revenue, higher impairments due to the Covid-19 pandemic and a R205m net monetary loss as inflationary pressure persisted in Zimbabwe, a reduction from R296m in 2019. HE impact of net monetary loss was R89m (2019: R142m). Revenues were impacted by lower NII (down 11%) and slower growth in advances as the subsidiary performances were affected by the deteriorating macroeconomic conditions due to Covid-19 and a decline in interest rates (especially in common monetary countries). NIR grew by 19% (down 4%, excluding Zimbabwe) as transactional volumes, especially digital, driven by investments made and accelerated digital client usage due to the lockdowns, climbed. Average gross advances and average deposits were up from the prior year by 2,4% and 5,5% respectively. Policy uncertainty and a lack of foreign direct investments continue to damage the Zimbabwean economy, contributing to hyperinflationary conditions. According to the Zimbabwe National Statistics Agency, Zimbabwe’s annual inflation was 363% in January 2021, with monthly CPI standing at nearly 5,43% (Zimbabwe officially adopted hyperinflationary accounting with effect from 1 July 2019). Zimbabwe's inflation has been on a downward trend since August 2020, following the introduction of a foreign exchange auction trading system that brought some stability to the foreign exchange market. 99 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISRESULTS PRESENTATIONSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 The CLR increased to 185 bps from 101 bps in 2019 due to a significant increase in impairments from R233m to R437m. This is above our board-approved CLR target limit of 100 bps due to increased pressure on clients because of the pandemic. Altogether, 16,1% of the NAR loan book has been restructured, with the sector exposure broadly aligned to key economic drivers. As at year-end, 2 116 accounts had been restructured across the NAR portfolios with a total exposure of R3,9bn. Although, 86% have matured and of those that have matured 90% have resumed repayment. Overall impairments are decreasing as the economies are starting to recover but will likely continue to be under pressure if more restrictions and lockdown measures are implemented because of new waves of infections. Expenses decreased by 4,2% to R2 325m, underpinned by the good management of overall costs, including headcount reduction, reduced marketing spend, lower travel costs and a decline in other non-essential costs. Nedbank’s HE from ETI declined by 65% from the prior year, to R153m. ETI’s performance was adversely affected by the restatement the previous year, our share of that being R236m and a goodwill impairment relating to the Oceanic acquisition, both relating to the Nigerian business. Given the impact of the one-off items, Nedbank recognised a loss from associates of R178m. As our share of the goodwill impairment of R528m is excluded from HE, Nedbank reported HE of R153m, after deducting R198m of after-tax funding costs. Excluding the effects of the one-off items, associate income was down 12%, at R587m (from the R668m reported in FY2019), while HE was 11% lower, at R388m (FY2019: R437m). Looking forward Following the devastating health and economic crisis caused by the pandemic, economies appear to be emerging from one of the deepest recessions and beginning a subdued recovery. We expect Covid-19 and the potential lockdowns due to increased infections to continue to impact African economies in 2021 until a significant percentage of the population is inoculated. Growth in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to rebound to 3,2% in 2021, which is slightly weaker than previously projected, before firming to 3,9% in 2022. Performance in the SADC region for 2021 is expected to improve year on year, but the Covid-19 pandemic will still impact the overall economy and business performance. We are continuing to reimagine our businesses for the new post-Covid-19 normal and are ensuring that they get a fair share of market profit pools. Our focus areas for 2021 are the following: • Accelerating the digitisation and automation of our business to be more competitive, and continuing to build our transactional franchise. • Completing the reconfiguration of the Zimbabwe business. • Leveraging our increased investment in Mozambique to address opportunities, including in the energy, agriculture and agro-processing sectors. • Transforming our business model for overall efficiency, while driving overall growth to achieve scale. In ETI, our focus is on increasing the value of our investment. We are working through our representation on the board to ensure continued growth of the business for sustainable long-term value, including addressing the persistent challenges in Ecobank Nigeria to unlock shareholder value. Through our investment we are continuing to work on the commercialisation of collaboration initiatives and increasing business flows. Nedbank is committed to long-term and profitable growth in our Africa Regions business and seeks to leverage these growth opportunities and improve returns on equity. Our ambition is to give our clients access to the best financial services network on the continent. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, we expect the Africa Regions business in the medium to long term to grow its overall contribution to group earnings and returns.

NII SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS • At December 2020 the NII sensitivity of the group’s banking book for a 1% parallel reduction in interest rates, measured over 12 months, was 1,47% of total group ordinary shareholders’ equity, which is below the board’s approved risk limit of < 2,25%. • This exposes the group to a decrease in NII of approximately R1 310m before tax, should interest rates decrease by 1% across the yield curve, measured over a 12-month period. Nedbank London branch and Wealth International NII sensitivities are, however, measured at a 0,5% instantaneous decrease in interest rates. • The group’s NII sensitivity exhibits very little convexity and will therefore also result in an increase in pretax NII of approximately similar amounts should interest rates increase by 100 bps. • The group’s NII sensitivity is actively managed through on- and off-balance-sheet interest rate risk management strategies for the group’s expected interest rate view and impairment sensitivity over the cycle. • Nedbank Limited’s economic value of equity (EVE) for a 100-bps-decline in interest rates remains at a low level of 0,24% (-R165m) of ordinary shareholders’ equity, which is below the board’s approved risk limit of 1%. 104 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 LENDING SPREAD VERSUS CREDIT LOSS RATIO (INCLUDING TARGET RANGE) OF NEDBANK GROUP (Bps) 238 231 240 241 Δ = 170 Δ = 182 Δ = 187 68 2016 49 2017 53 2018 Δ = 162 79 2019 265 Δ = 104 161 2020 Lending spread (banking financial assets) Credit loss ratio (CLR) Current CLR target range (60-100 bps) • The group’s lending spread improved by 24 bps in the current year to 265 bps. This was primarily due to improved pricing, noting that improved residential mortgage pricing was largely driven by an alignment in the period over which mortgage commission is amortised to net interest income (R135m, 2 bps). • The group’s CLR increased by 82 bps yoy to 161 bps at 31 December 2020, breaching the upper-end of the target range of 60—100 bps. The CLR was impacted by stage migrations in both retail and wholesale, adjustments to macroeconomic forecasts, the forward-looking provisioning requirements of IFRS 9 and heightened risk due to the Covid-19 pandemic. During the period loans and advances were restated to include listed corporate bonds (previously disclosed as government and other securities) to align with industry practice, and this reduced the group CLR by 3 bps and 6 bps in 2019 and 2020 respectively. 105 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF

(2019: R842,3bn). The GLAA • was restated to include listed corporate bonds in line with market, which were previously classified as 'government and other securities'. Strong growth in Trading Book advances, has been offset by negative growth in CIB Banking Loans and Advances (LAA) and muted growth in RBB LAA. In H2 2020, D3 renewals in Retail were classified and treated as Stage 2 GLAA, to account for anticipated elevated risk. Since August 2020, we pro-actively discouraged further/new payment holidays to enable a risk-read on this population by year end. Subsequent relief was classified as D7. 123 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 2019 Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) CIB excluding Property Finance Property Finance Retail and Business Banking (RBB) Business Banking Retail Wealth Nedbank Africa Regions Centre Gross loans and advances/ ECL held at amortised cost Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 TOTAL ECL Coverage GLAA ECL Coverage Coverage Rm 549 375 174 2 455 226 2 229 24 220 (1) % 0,17 0,20 0,12 0,81 0,33 0,96 0,08 1,12 Rm 29 860 12 350 17 510 40 471 6 315 34 156 452 1 305 Rm 675 366 309 2 807 179 2 628 25 68 248 % 2,26 2,96 1,76 6,94 2,83 7,69 5,53 5,21 GLAA Rm 328 209 187 740 140 469 301 839 69 277 232 562 29 589 19 700 (1 217) 678 120 3 247 0,48 72 088 3 823 5,30 37,9 777 802 2,26 809 649 3,46 GLAA/ECL for held at FVOCI Trading GLAA held at FVTPL Banking Book GLAA held at FVTPL GLAA for fair-value hedge-accounted portfolios 16 558 32 678 13 323 941 67 115 577 38 Off-balance-sheet ECL Total GLAA/ECL 741 620 3 429 72 665 70 3 931 28 042 10 792 842 327 842 327 GLAA, ECL AND COVERAGE, BY PRODUCT 2020 Residential mortgages Commercial mortgages Instalment debtors Credit cards and overdrafts Term loans1 Other loans to clients Other GLAA Rm 141 082 161 287 108 290 21 031 113 252 41 950 31 716 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 TOTAL ECL Coverage GLAA ECL Coverage Coverage Coverage Rm 352 376 1 160 834 1 093 114 100 % 0,25 0,23 1,07 3,97 0,97 0,27 Rm 15 988 18 367 16 511 7 581 23 204 9 598 7 182 Rm 798 694 1 626 1 094 1 268 866 157 % 4,99 3,78 9,85 14,43 5,46 9,02 GLAA/ECL held at amortised cost 618 608 4 029 0,65 98 431 6 503 6,61 45 243 14 272 31,5 762 282 24 804 3,25 1 FVOCI is deducted from 'term loans'. 2019 Residential mortgages Commercial mortgages Instalment debtors Credit cards and overdrafts Term loans1 Other loans to clients Other GLAA Rm 140 062 154 801 105 416 29 216 152 020 55 337 41 268 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 TOTAL ECL Coverage GLAA ECL Coverage Coverage Coverage Rm 288 218 802 859 887 102 91 % 0,21 0,14 0,76 2,94 0,58 0,18 Rm 14 181 18 713 18 043 5 209 12 929 1 944 1 069 Rm 539 338 1 321 524 775 283 43 % 3,80 1,81 7,32 10,06 5,99 14,56 GLAA/ECL held at amortised cost 678 120 3 247 0,48 72 088 3 823 5,30 37,9 777 802 1 FVOCI is deducted from 'term loans'. 124 GLAA excluding GLAA as % of Coverage trading book total GLAA Stage 3 % 1,15 1,44 0,73 5,82 4,30 6,24 3,00 6,34 Rm 393 088 233 915 159 173 363 471 78 988 284 483 30 970 22 427 (307) 32 678 GLAA Rm 4 079 2 919 1 160 21 161 3 396 17 765 929 1 422 3 27 594 448 GLAA Rm 11 656 5 644 10 468 4 277 7 606 1 524 4 068 GLAA Rm 7 826 2 488 6 607 3 081 6 503 293 796 27 594 ECL Rm 1 001 786 215 8 813 925 7 888 180 461 16 10 471 235 86 ECL Rm 2 319 999 3 874 2 476 3 869 227 508 ECL Rm 1 571 504 2 704 1 913 3 212 271 296 10 471 % 24,6 27,0 18,5 41,6 27,2 44,4 19,4 32,3 % 19,9 17,7 37,0 57,9 50,9 14,9 % 20,1 20,3 40,9 62,1 49,4 92,5 GLAA Rm 362 148 203 009 159 139 363 471 78 988 284 483 30 970 22 427 (1 214) 17 583 32 678 13 323 941 GLAA Rm 168 726 185 298 135 269 32 889 144 062 53 072 42 966 GLAA Rm 162 069 176 002 130 066 37 506 171 452 57 574 43 133 ECL Rm 2 225 1 527 698 14 075 1 330 12 745 229 749 263 17 541 340 271 18 152 ECL Rm 3 469 2 069 6 660 4 404 6 230 1 207 765 ECL Rm 2 398 1 060 4 827 3 296 4 874 656 430 17 541 % 0,61 0,75 0,44 3,87 1,68 4,48 0,74 3,34 % 2,06 1,12 4,92 13,39 4,32 2,27 % 1,48 0,60 3,71 8,79 2,84 1,14 2,26 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 GLAA, ECL AND COVERAGE, BY PRODUCT ECL Coverage GLAA ECL Coverage 2019 Corporate and Investment Banking (CIB) CIB excluding Property Finance Property Finance Retail and Business Banking (RBB) Business Banking Retail Wealth Centre Nedbank Africa Regions Gross loans and advances/ ECL held at amortised cost GLAA/ECL for held at FVOCI Trading GLAA held at FVTPL Banking Book GLAA held at FVTPL GLAA for fair-value hedge-accounted portfolios Off-balance-sheet ECL Total GLAA/ECL 2020 Residential mortgages Commercial mortgages Instalment debtors Credit cards and overdrafts Term loans1 Other loans to clients Other 1 FVOCI is deducted from 'term loans'. 2019 Residential mortgages Commercial mortgages Instalment debtors Credit cards and overdrafts Term loans1 Other loans to clients Other 1 FVOCI is deducted from 'term loans'.

The sale of a protected equity structure and negative revaluation adjustments as a result of Covid-19 was offset by additional investment assets. • The value of the portfolio that is equity-accounted decreased by R595m to R3 322m (2019: R3 917m). This was largely due to a decline in the ETI strategic investment value by R494m since 2019. ETI reported a solid operational performance for the nine months to end-September 2020, with positive movements in other comprehensive income amounts for fair value through OCI instruments and foreign exchange movements in FCTR. However, the decline in the investment value was due to a R750m impairment in H1 and Nedbank’s share of ETI’s own goodwill impairment of R528m, relating to Ecobank Nigeria’s purchase of Oceanic Bank. • The ETI strategic investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is therefore not carried at fair value. • The board sets the overall risk appetite and strategy of the group for equity risk, and business develops portfolio objectives and investment strategies for its investment activities. These address the types of investment, expected business returns, desired holding periods, diversification parameters and other elements of sound investment management oversight. 134 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 10 Investments in associate companies Name of company and nature Equity-accounted earnings Rm Carrying amount Rm Net exposure to associates1 Rm 2020 20192 2020 2019 2020 2019 of business Associates Listed ETI3 Unlisted Private equity: Tracker Technology Holdings Proprietary Limited Private equity: Other investments Other strategic investments Total (178) 668 2 180 2 674 (7) 56 37 9 (76) 49 33 43 793 570 156 416 3 322 549 285 409 3 917 69 874 774 767 943 1 Includes on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet exposure. 2 Equity-accounted earnings included a R25m profit in 2019 related to SBV Services Proprietary Limited. 3 Ecobank Transnational Incorporated is a pan-African bank and its shares are listed on the stock exchanges of Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast.

The USD/ZAR exchange rate depreciated from R14,01 on 31 December 2019 to R14,70 on 31 December 2020. The market value of the group’s investment in ETI, based on its quoted share price, was R1,2bn on 31 December 2020 and R1,0bn on 12 March 2021. The ETI share trades in low volumes, given its low free float, while also being listed in an illiquid market. The difference between market value and carrying value is significant and prolonged, which has represented evidence of an impairment indicator at 31 December 2020. Where an impairment indicator exists, IAS 36 requires that an impairment test is computed, which compares the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal (fair value) or its VIU and the carrying value of the investment. The computation of the VIU in accordance with IFRS is subject to significant judgement as it is, among other things, based on economic estimates, macro assumptions and the discounting of future cashflow estimates. At 30 June 2020 management computed the VIU based on a number of scenarios. While various scenarios supported a value-in-use calculation above the carrying value of our investment, in the prevailing environment more weight was given to downside scenarios and an additional impairment of R750m was raised at 30 June 2020. This reduced the carrying value of the group’s investment to R2,4bn at 30 June 2020. The group's position was reassessed at 31 December 2020 year-end and, based on this reassessment, no further impairment provision was raised. 135 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 11 Intangible assets Rm Computer software and capitalised development costs Goodwill1 Client relationships, contractual rights and other 2020 8 981 4 747 23 13 751 2019 8 254 5 057 55 13 366 1 The group's annual impairment test indicated that the goodwill relating to a cash-generating unit in Nedbank Wealth was impaired as a result of the negative macroeconomic environment.

31,1%, while non-transactional investment deposits increased by 4,7%. CIB transactional deposits increased by 54,6% while non-transactional investment deposits grew by 9,3%. Transactional deposits grew faster than non-transactional deposits, driven by increased short-term operational cash requirements by businesses impacted by Covid-19. RBB transactional deposits increased by 13,3% as clients opted to hold more short-term operational deposits given the impact of Covid-19 on the economy, noting that there was an increase in shorter-term savings while non-transactional term investment deposits grew by only 0,9%. Nedbank Wealth transactional deposits increased by 37,1%, due mainly to foreign exchange translation gains, while non-transactional deposits decreased by 32,8%, due mainly to a decrease in Nedbank Wealth international volumes because of the record-low interest rate environment (ie near 0% returns). » Call and term deposits increased by 3,5%, while fixed deposits decreased by 5,0% as retail clients opted to keep their cash in short-term or notice deposits due to the uncertain economic environment, noting that fixed deposits were subject to some domestic competitors pricing fixed deposits above the wholesale cash curve. NCDs and other deposits decreased by 5,0%, driven by a decrease in NCD funding of 15,6% as clients placed cash in higher-yielding government bonds and treasury bills, preferring other, more structured deposits, which grew by 11,8% offset by a decrease in deposits under repo of 52,2%. The demand for other, more structured deposits was also linked to client appetite for increased deposit duration in an environment of slow growth and lower interest rates. 139 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 » Foreign currency liabilities, which represent only 2,2% of Nedbank’s total deposits, decreased by 17,8%, due to the prepayment of foreign currency lending facilities which resulted in a decrease in foreign currency liabilities. It should be noted that foreign currency liabilities are matched against foreign currency assets, resulting in an insignificant foreign currency mismatch when expressed as a percentage of the total balance sheet. » During 2020 Nedbank maintained a strong balance sheet position, as observed through the funding profile, liquidity buffers and key liquidity risk metrics. Nedbank’s three-month average long-term funding ratio was 25,4%. » Nedbank Group remains committed to growing its retail and commercial deposits, while managing the funding profile.

Our funding mix tipped towards increased funding contributions from commercial deposits and capital markets funding. Our quarterly average long-term funding ratio of 25,4% compared favourably with the industry average of 22,0% in an environment of increased financial market volatility as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. • We currently source 36,1% of total funding from wholesale deposits, and this has decreased by 2,3% versus December 2019. The overall objective is to reduce wholesale funding reliance through increases in retail and commercial deposits, while wholesale deposits are typically a source of long-term funding, playing an important part in managing the overall term funding profile and reducing short-term contractual funding reliance. • We remain focused on growing retail and commercial deposits, with an emphasis on offering competitive and innovative transactional and investment products, as well as an ongoing emphasis on meeting client needs through product, pricing, innovation and digital client experiences.

The above figures reflect the simple average of daily observations over the quarter ending December 2020 for Nedbank Limited and the simple average of the month-end values at 31 October 2020, 30 November 2020 and 31 December 2020 for all non-SA banking entities. 2 On 31 March 2020 the PA issued Directive 1/2020, reducing the minimum LCR requirement from 100% to 80% with effect from 1 April 2020. The revised minimum LCR requirement will remain in force until financial markets normalise. 3 Only banking and/or deposit-taking entities are included in the group NSFR and the group data represents a consolidation of the relevant individual assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet items. • Nedbank Group remains well funded, with a strong liquidity position underpinned by a significant quantum of long-term funding, an appropriately sized surplus liquid-asset buffer, a strong loan-to-deposit ratio consistently below 100% and a low reliance on interbank and foreign currency funding. • The group's quarterly average LCR exceeded the revised minimum regulatory requirement of 80% applicable from 1 April 2020, with the group maintaining appropriate operational buffers designed to absorb seasonal, cyclical and systemic volatility observed in the LCR in 2020. On 31 March 2020 the PA issued Directive 1/2020, reducing the minimum LCR requirement from 100% to 80% with effect from 1 April 2020. The reduction in the LCR minimum requirement was in direct response to financial market volatility brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting national lockdown, which caused financial and non-financial corporates to tilt towards increased holdings of short-term deposits during March 2020 and April 2020, when financial market volatility was at its highest. » The LCR (calculated using the simple average of daily observations over the quarter ending December 2020 for Nedbank Limited and the simple average of the month-end values at 31 October 2020, 30 November 2020 and 31 December 2020 for all non-SA banking entities) was 125,7%. — Nedbank's portfolio of LCR-compliant HQLA (mainly comprising government bonds and treasury bills) increased to a quarterly average of R206,9bn, up from 2019 when the portfolio amounted to R178,0bn. — Despite the higher quarterly arithmetic average in the LCR net cashflows driven by increased financial market volatility introduced by the Covid-19 pandemic, Nedbank proactively managed its HQLA liquidity buffers resulting in a year-on-year increase in the LCR. — Nedbank will continue to manage the HQLA portfolio within risk appetite targets, taking balance sheet growth into account while maintaining appropriately sized surplus liquid-asset buffers based on market conditions.

The focus on proactively managing Nedbank’s long-term funding profile contributed to a strong balance sheet position and sound liquidity risk metrics. Nedbank has continued to run a more prudent long-term funding profile when compared with the industry average of 22,0%. — Nedbank successfully issued R3,1bn in senior unsecured debt, while R3,6bn matured during the year. — Nedbank issued tier 2 capital instruments of R4,1bn and redeemed R2,3bn during the year, in line with the group’s capital plan. » While foreign currency funding reliance remains small at 2,2% of total deposits, Nedbank continues to focus on growing this funding source in support of funding base diversification where the proceeds can be applied to meet funding requirements for foreign advances growth at attractive interest rates. » The group’s 2020 Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) and Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP) reports were approved by the board and submitted to the PA, in accordance with annual business-as-usual processes. The group’s recovery plans, which incorporate Nedbank London, were updated and approved by the board on 19 February 2020. Nedbank is currently awaiting the promulgation of the Financial Sector Laws Amendment Bill (FSLAB), which will give rise to the Resolution Regime, where Nedbank’s recovery plans will be required to dovetail into the resolution plans. The latest feedback received is that the FSLAB may be promulgated only towards the end of Q2 2021. The promulgation of FSLAB in Q2 2021 and insights from various discussion papers to be released by SARB will be a key part of the updates of the various recovery plans during H2 2021.

Nedbank manages capital levels within the board-approved risk appetite, expectations of the rating agencies, requirements of the regulators and the returns expected by shareholders. Nedbank further seeks to ensure that its capital structure uses the full range of capital instruments and capital management activities available to optimise the financial efficiency and loss absorption capacity of its capital base. Nedbank performs extensive and comprehensive stress testing to conclude that the group remains well capitalised relative to its business activities, the board’s strategic plans, risk appetite, risk profile and the external environment in which the group operates. 146 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 In H1 2020 the PA supported the banking industry through Directive 2/2020 (capital directive) and Directive 3/2020 (credit directive), which were designed to provide temporary relief. Directive 2/2020 provided capital relief through the temporary relaxation of the Pillar 2A capital requirements to nil, thereby reducing the minimum requirements for the CET1, tier 1 and total capital ratios by 50 bps, 75 bps and 100 bps, respectively. The PA also issued Guidance Note 4/2020, which encouraged banks to preserve capital and not distribute ordinary dividends out of 2020 earnings. Dispensations provided by the PA allowed the capital ratios of banks to absorb movements in the balance sheet, driven by increased drawdowns and a change in repayment patterns by clients, adverse backbook migration and the impact of illiquid and dislocated markets, which recovered in H2 2020. Earnings generation improved in H2 2020 and balance sheet growth slowed, which together with RWA optimisation initiatives resulted in stronger capital ratios for the full year 2020. In February 2021 the PA published Guidance Note 3/2021, which replaced Guidance Note 4/2020. The guidance note encourages boards of banks to be prudent when making decisions relating to distributions of dividends on ordinary shares and the payment of cash bonuses to executive officers and material-risktakers in 2021. Despite our strong capital and liquidity position at 31 December 2020, having considered the spirit of Guidance Notes 4/2020 and 3/2021 and noting growth opportunities and our responsibility to support clients and the economy, in the midst of the current uncertainty about the progression of the virus, possible third waves, and the vaccine rollout and its effectiveness, the group has decided not to declare a final dividend for 2020.

The increase in total RWA is attributable mainly to the following: » Credit risk migration, driven by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and asset growth, resulted in a credit RWA increase of R17,5bn (4,2%) for the year, offset by strategic optimisation initiatives. » Counterparty credit risk and credit valuation adjustment RWA increased by R6,9bn (71,0%) and R5,8bn (35,2%) respectively, due to increased deal volume and an adjustment in the fair value of hedges, which was driven by currency volatility against major currencies. » Trading market RWA increased by R18,7bn (84,3%), driven mainly by the stressed conditions affecting both global and local financial markets that were characterised by a sharp increase in March 2020 on the back of unprecedented volatility. This volatility, observed in the FX and the interest-rate markets to which the bank is primarily exposed, resulted in a direct increase in the bank’s value at risk (VaR) used for the regulatory capital model. Nedbank's derivatives valuation adjustment optimisation initiative in H2 2020 resulted in a reduction of the overall increase in trading market RWA, to close the year at R40,9bn (June 2020: R48,9bn), this reduction is expected to continue into 2021. » Other RWA decreased by R4,0bn, due to a combination of balance sheet changes supported by optimisation initiatives. 148 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 SUMMARY OF REGULATORY QUALIFYING CAPITAL AND RESERVES1 Rm Including unappropriated profits Total tier 1 capital CET1 Share capital and premium Reserves Minority interest: Ordinary shareholders Deductions Additional tier 1 capital Preference share capital and premium Perpetual subordinated debt instruments Regulatory adjustments Tier 2 capital Subordinated debt instruments Excess of downturn expected loss over eligible provisions General allowance for credit impairment Regulatory adjustments Nedbank Group Nedbank Limited 2020 2019 2020 2019 81 779 73 455 19 067 69 925 463 (16 000) 8 324 1 063 7 822 (561) 18 574 15 604 2 626 391 (47) 80 401 72 506 18 577 68 534 848 (15 453) 7 895 1 594 6 850 (549) 13 840 13 810 300 (270) 66 154 57 269 20 111 49 771 65 459 57 015 19 221 50 521 (12 613) (12 727) 8 885 1 063 7 822 18 014 15 604 2 408 2 8 444 1 594 6 850 13 812 13 810 2 Total capital 100 353 94 241 84 168 79 271 Excluding unappropriated profits Tier 1 capital CET1 capital Total capital 81 380 73 056 99 954 79 315 71 420 93 155 64 769 55 884 82 783 63 532 55 088 77 344 1 For comprehensive 'composition of capital' and 'capital instruments main features' disclosure please refer to https://www.nedbank.co.za/content/nedbank/desktop/gt/en/investor-relations/information-hub/capital-and-risk-management-reports.html. • The group’s tier 1 capital position was positively impacted by the issuance of new-style additional tier 1 instruments of R972m in 2020, offset by a further grandfathering of preference shares in January 2020, in line with the Basel III transitional arrangements. • The group’s total capital was further impacted by the redemption of new-style tier 2 capital instruments of R2,3bn and the issuance of new-style tier 2 capital instruments of R4,1bn during 2020, in line with the group’s capital plan. » The focus remains on issuing fully loss-absorbent capital, with Basel III fully compliant capital making up 99% of the group’s total capital structure, with the group having issued R15,6bn of new-style tier 2 capital and R7,8bn of new-style additional tier 1 capital since the implementation of Basel III in 2013. • The group’s gearing (including unappropriated profits) remains below the Regulatory Leverage Ratio Framework requirement of less than 25 times, at 15,4 times. 149 RESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVERESULTS PRESENTATIONSEGMENTAL ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 REGULATED BANKING SUBSIDIARIES Nedbank Group banking subsidiaries are well capitalised for the environments in which they operate, with CARs well in excess of respective host regulators’ minimum requirements.

COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSIS Definitions 12-month ECL This expected credit loss represents an ECL that results from default events on financial instruments occurring within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12 months), weighted by the probability of the defaults occurring. Assets under administration (AUA) (Rm) Market value of assets held in custody on behalf of clients. Assets under management (AUM) (Rm) Market value of assets managed on behalf of clients. Central Counterparty (CCP) A clearing house that interposes itself between counterparties for contracts traded in one or more financial markets, becoming the buyer to every seller and the seller to every buyer and thereby ensuring the future performance of open contracts. Common-equity tier 1 (CET1) capital adequacy ratio (%) CET1 regulatory capital, including unappropriated profit, as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets. Cost-to-income ratio (%) Total operating expenses as a percentage of total income, being net interest income, non-interest revenue and share of profits or losses from associates and joint arrangements. Coverage (%) On-balance-sheet ECLs divided by on-balance-sheet gross banking loans and advances. Coverage excludes ECLs on off-balance-sheet amounts, ECL and gross banking loans and advances on the fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) portfolio, and loans and advances measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Credit loss ratio (CLR) – (% or bps) income statement impairment charge on banking loans and advances as a percentage of daily average gross banking loans and advances. Includes the ECL recognised in respect of the off-balance-sheet portion of loans and advances. Default In line with the Basel III definition, default occurs in respect of a client in the following instances: • When the bank considers that the client is unlikely to pay their credit obligations to the bank in full without the bank having recourse to actions such as realising security (if held). • When the client is past due for more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the bank. Overdrafts will be considered as being past due if the client has breached an advised limit or has been advised of a limit smaller than the current outstanding amount. • In terms of Nedbank‘s Group Credit Policy, when the client is placed under business rescue in accordance with the Companies Act, 71 of 2008, and when the client requests a restructure of their facilities as a result of financial distress, except where debtor substitution is allowable in terms of the regulations. At a minimum a default is deemed to have occurred where a material obligation is past due for more than 90 days or a client has exceeded an advised limit for more than 90 days. A stage 3 impairment is raised against such a credit exposure due to a significant perceived decline in the credit quality. For retail portfolios this is product-centred, and a default would therefore be for a specific advance. For all other portfolios, except specialised lending, it is client- or borrower-centred, meaning that should any transaction with a legal-entity borrower default, all transactions with that legal-entity borrower would be treated as having defaulted. To avoid short-term volatility, Nedbank employs a six-month curing definition where subsequent defaults will be an extension of the initial default. Diluted headline earnings per share (DHEPS) (cents) Headline earnings divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares, adjusted for potential dilutive ordinary shares. Directive 1 of 2020 A directive from the Prudential Authority (PA) that provides temporary measures to aid compliance with the liquidity coverage ratio during the Covid-19 pandemic stress period. The PA has deemed it appropriate to amend the minimum liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) requirement temporarily to 80%, effective from 1 April 2020. Directive 2 of 2020 A directive from the PA provides temporary capital relief to alleviate risks posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The PA has implemented measures to reduce the specified minimum requirement of capital and reserve funds to be maintained by banks, in order to provide temporary capital relief to enable banks to counter economic risks to the financial system as a whole, and to individual banks. These measures are intended to provide relief to banks in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, thereby enabling banks to continue providing credit to the real economy during this period of financial stress. Directive 3 of 2020 A directive from the PA that implemented measures to ensure that various types of relief to qualifying borrowers that were up to date at 29 February 2020, such as payment holidays, do not result in unintended consequences such as inappropriate higher capital requirements. The PA has provided temporary relief for qualifying loans from portions of Directive 7/2015 dealing with distressed restructures. Importantly, this relief covers retail, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and corporate loans, including all specialist asset classes such as commercial property. Directive 7 of 2015 A directive from the PA that provides clarity on how banks should identify restructured credit exposures and how these exposures should be treated for purposes of the definition of default. Dividend cover (times) Headline earnings per share divided by dividend per share. 162 NEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Economic profit (EP) (Rm) Headline earnings less the cost of equity (total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, less goodwill, multiplied by the group's cost-of-equity percentage). Effective taxation rate (%) Direct taxation as a percentage of profit before direct taxation, excluding non-trading and capital items. Earnings per share (EPS) (cents) Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares in issue. Forward-looking economic expectations The impact of forecast macroeconomic conditions in determining a significant increase in credit risk (SICR) and ECL. Gross operating income growth rate less expenses growth rate (JAWS ratio) (%) Measure of the extent to which the total income growth rate exceeds the total operating expenses growth rate. Guidance Note 4 of 2020 A guidance note from the South African Reserve Bank that recommends that banks no longer make dividend distributions on ordinary shares in order to conserve capital, in light of the negative economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the temporary regulatory-capital relief provided. Guidance Note 3 of 2021 A guidance note from the South African Reserve Bank that recommends banks be prudent and consider the adequacy of their current and forecasted capital and profitability levels, internal capital targets and risk appetite as well as current and potential future risks posed by the ongoing pandemic when making distributions of dividends on ordinary shares and the payment of cash bonuses to executive officers and material risk takers. Guidance Note 3 of 2021 replaces Guidance Note 4 of 2020. Headline earnings (Rm) The profit attributable to equity holders of the parent, excluding specific separately identifiable remeasurements, net of related tax and non-controlling interests. Headline earnings per share (HEPS) (cents) Headline earnings divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares in issue.

Life insurance embedded value (Rm) The embedded value (EV) of the covered business is the discounted value of the projected future after-tax shareholder earnings arising from covered business in force at the valuation date, plus the adjusted net worth. Life insurance value of new business (Rm) A measure of the value added to a company as a result of writing new business. Value of new business (VNB) is calculated as the discounted value, at the valuation date, of projected after-tax shareholder profit from covered new business that commenced during the reporting period, net of frictional costs and the cost of non-hedgeable risk associated with writing new business, using economic assumptions at the start of the reporting period. Net asset value (NAV) (Rm) Total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent. Net asset value (NAV) per share (cents) NAV divided by the number of shares in issue, excluding shares held by group entities at the end of the period. Net interest income (NII) to average interest-earning banking assets (AIEBA) (%) NII as a percentage of daily average total assets, excluding trading assets. Also called net interest margin (NIM). Net monetary gain/(loss) (Rm) Represents the gain or loss in purchasing power of the net monetary position (monetary assets less monetary liabilities) of an entity operating in a hyperinflation environment. Non-interest revenue (NIR) to total income (%) NIR as a percentage of operating income, excluding the impairments charge on loans and advances. Number of shares listed (number) Number of ordinary shares in issue, as listed on the JSE. Off-balance-sheet exposure Undrawn loan commitments, guarantees and similar arrangements that expose the group to credit risk. Ordinary dividends declared per share (cents) Total dividends to ordinary shareholders declared in respect of the current period. 163 RESULTS PRESENTATIONRESULTS COMMENTARYFINANCIAL RESULTSINCOME STATEMENT ANALYSISSTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ANALYSISSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATIONMESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVESEGMENTAL ANALYSISNEDBANK GROUP Annual Results 2020 Performing stage 3 loans and advances (Rm) Loans that are up to date (not in default) but are classified as defaulted due to regulatory requirements, ie Directive 7 of 2015 or the curing definition.
