This is presented for illustrative purposes only. Because of its nature, the pro forma financial information may not fairly present MTN s financial position, changes in equity, and results of operations or cash flows. The pro forma constant currency financial information contained in this announcement has been reviewed by the group s external auditors and their unmodified limited assurance report prepared in terms of ISAE 3420 is available for inspection at the company s registered office on weekdays from 09:00 to 16: The financial information presented in these consolidated financial results has been prepared excluding the impact of hyperinflation and the goodwill and asset impairments, tower profits, the Nigerian regulatory fine (consisting of the re-measurement impact when the settlement was entered into and the finance costs recognised as a result of the unwind of the initial discounting of the liability), the profit from the sale of Cyprus, the CBN resolution and in addition to the above, profit on the exercise of IHS exchange right, Loss on the de-recognition of IHS Loan receivable and MTN Zakhele Futhi Share base payments, which relate to the 2017 year of assessment ( the pro forma adjustments ) and constitutes pro forma financial information to the extent that it is not extracted from the segment disclosure included in the audited summary group financial statements for the year ended 31 December This pro forma financial information has been presented to eliminate the impact of the pro forma adjustments from the consolidated financial results to achieve a comparable year-on-year analysis. The pro forma adjustments have been calculated in terms of the group accounting policies disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, except for the changes in accounting policies as a result of the adoption of the accounting pronouncements effective 1 January 2018, and the change in the presentation of cash flows. 2. Constant currency information has been presented to illustrate the impact of changes in currency rates on the group s results. In determining the change in constant currency terms, the current financial reporting period s results have been adjusted to the prior period average exchange rates determined as the average of the monthly exchange rates. The measurement has been performed for each of the group s currencies, materially being that of the US dollar and Nigerian naira. The constant currency growth percentage has been calculated based on the current year constant currency results compared to the prior year results. In addition, in respect of MTN Irancell, MTN Sudan, MTN South Sudan and MTN Syria, the constant currency information has been prepared excluding the impact of hyperinflation. The economies of Sudan, South Sudan and Syria were assessed to be hyperinflationary for the period under review and hyperinflation accounting was applied. The joint independent auditors audit report by PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. and SizweNtsalubaGobodo Grant Thornton Inc. does not report on all of the information contained in this announcement/financial results. Shareholders are therefore advised that in order to obtain a full understanding of the nature of the joint independent auditors engagement they should obtain a copy of the joint independent auditors audit report together with the accompanying financial information from MTN s registered office. The directors of MTN take full responsibility for the preparation of this abridged report and the financial information has been correctly extracted from the underlying audited financial statements. The group s results are presented in line with the group s operational structure. This is South Africa, Nigeria, the Southern and East Africa and Ghana (SEAGHA) region, the West and Central Africa (WECA) region and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and their respective underlying operations. The SEAGHA region includes Ghana, Uganda, Zambia, Rwanda, South Sudan, Botswana (joint venture-equity accounted), eswatini (joint venture-equity accounted) and Business Group. The WECA region includes Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Benin, Congo Brazzaville, Liberia, Guinea Conakry and Guinea Bissau. The MENA region includes Iran (joint venture-equity accounted), Syria, Sudan, Yemen, and Afghanistan. Cyprus was disposed of and is no longer included in the results effective 4 September Although Iran, Botswana and eswatini form part of their respective regions geographically and operationally, they are excluded from their respective regional results because they are equity accounted for by the group.
