However, it does not include one-off transaction impacts like significant acquisitions & disposals and other non operating transactions. Note: 1. Cash from operations is net cash generated from operations before taxes during the year, contributed by higher operating profit generated during the year. 2. Cash capex (tangible) is higher due to Covid related logistical challenges experienced in the prior year. 3.

Our largest exposure is to Nigerian Naira where 1% devaluation would have a negative impact of $7m on finance costs Total finance charges (excluding exceptional items) were lower by $20m, mainly due to: Net interest costs were lower by $5m due to: Interest income was higher by $10m due to higher deposits and an increase in interest rates. Interest cost increased by $5m contributed by higher interest on lease liabilities, partially offset by lower interest costs due to a reduction in debt. Other finance charges were lower by $6m, due to onetime benefit of interest on withholding tax on interconnect usage charge provision. Derivatives and forex losses were lower by $9m, with the prior year having higher forex losses mainly on account of devaluation of the Zambian kwacha by 23%. Exceptional item of $19m mainly consists of a premium on prepayment of a $505m USD Bond during the year. 43#44Currency effects - · historical trends - Historical trends CAGR % Currency March 2017 March 2019 March 2022 3-year 5-year NGN 306.0 360.5 415.2 4.8% 6.3% UGX 3,615.9 3,715.8 3,590.0 (1.1%) (0.1%) TZS 2,234.5 2,312.3 2,320.0 0.1% 0.8% ZMK 9.7 12.2 18.1 14.1% 13.3% MWK 724.6 730.6 816.7 3.8% 2.4% KES 103.1 100.8 115.0 4.5% 2.2% RWF 821.6 903.3 1,016.9 4.0% 4.4% CFA 613.4 584.3 587.6 0.2% (0.9%) MGA 3,215.8 3,586.4 4,035.0 4.0% 4.6% SCR 13.6 13.7 14.4 1.8% 1.2% Note: based on closing exchange rate airtel | Africa 44
