Consolidated segment results

for the year ended 31 July 2019

The reportable segments of the Group have been identified based on the nature of the business activities. A significant amount of time has been spent refining and revising the strategy of EOH. A major focus included the critical analysis of the portfolio; both in terms of refining the Group's focus and clarifying drivers of value over the longer term. This resulted in a more streamlined business, comprising three major segments with clearer alignment of focus and groupings of value. This basis is representative of the internal structure of the Group for management purposes. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ('CODM') is EXCO.

iOCO consists of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) operations in South Africa and internationally. NEXTEC consists of Industrial Technologies and Business Process Outsourcing.

IP comprises businesses which have developed proprietary software and solutions for customers.

The CODM is not presented with secondary information in the form of geographic information and as a result, is not disclosed in the segment results. Liabilities and assets are also not regularly provided to the CODM and are not disclosed in the segment report.
