ADvTECH BUSINESS UPDATE

ADvTECH is continuing to see demand in, both the schools and tertiary sectors for the 2020 enrolment period despite difficult economic conditions. This is evidence that consumers will seek out both quality and value in their choice of educational offerings. 

SCHOOLS DIVISION
We have been working on several initiatives in the schools division and are pleased that our efforts to improve the strategic positioning and operational performance of the schools business is starting to show progress. 

Our sharpened focus on brand proposition and customer value has led to encouraging enrolment growth even in the face of tough economic conditions. 
In South Africa, all our new schools (Trinityhouse Glenvista, Pinnacle Linden and Pinnacle Waterfall) and the repositioned offerings (Pinnacle Kyalami and Pinnacle Rynfield) have delivered good growth and have either achieved or exceed targeted enrolment numbers. 

Our core brands have also delivered encouraging organic growth despite the continued adverse effects of consumer financial hardship and emigration. 
In the rest of Africa, our student growth is encouraging and Crawford International School, Nairobi, is expected to move out of the J-curve in 2020, a mere 15 months after opening its doors.

TERTIARY DIVISION
The tertiary division has delivered outstanding results for the past few years. 

This success is based on the unparalleled quality of our academic offering which forms the foundation of our strategy. This quality is achieved by virtue of:
  • Our focus on quality teaching and learning;
  • The 15-year track record of our well-established central academic body, the Independent Institute of Education (IIE), SA’s largest “private university”;
  • Benchmarking against the highest possible local and international standards;
  • Our strict compliance with the regulatory environment;
  • Our Graduate and Alumni successes which are recognised throughout industry;
  • The clear brand positioning of each of our institutions; and
  • Efficient and effective operational delivery.
There has been a positive market response to our two new Rosebank College campuses, a mega campus in Cape Town and a digitally-enabled campus in Port Elizabeth. 

Enrolments at our tertiary institutions are in line with expectations and, should this trend continue until the end of the enrolment season, it bodes well for the division.

CONCLUSION
We are confident that by maintaining our unrelenting focus on the quality of our academic programmes and our commitment to delivering value to our customers and other stakeholders, we will continue to strengthen our ability to meet the ever-growing demand for relevant high-quality education.
Any forward-looking statements contained in this voluntary announcement have not been reviewed nor reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

ADvTECH Updates

eSports, once seen as a niche pastime, is rapidly gaining ground in South Africa. This rise is not just about gaming and entertainment, but about cultivating essential 21st-century skills in students. Projected to be a $3 billion industry by 2027, with careers ranging from professional players to game developers, data analysts, and event organisers, it is imperative for schools to start introducing eSports as early as possible, to prepare students for a world where digital fluency and adaptability are non-negotiable, an education expert says. Desiree Hugo, Academic Head of Schools at JSE-listed ADvTECH, SA’s leading private education provider, says the institution has embraced eSports to foster critical thinking, teamwork, problem-solving, and digital literacy among its students. “Far from casual play, ADvTECH’s approach encourages students to strategise, collaborate, and compete at the highest levels, transforming virtual arenas into dynamic classrooms. By embedding these skills into an engaging and competitive framework, we are able to ensure that students are not just participants but active learners, honing abilities that are critical for success in an increasingly digital world.” Central to this strategy is ADvTECH’s partnerships with industry leaders, which elevate the eSports experience beyond the school campus and into structured, competitive environments. These collaborations provide students with access to professional-grade platforms where they can test their mettle, refine their communication, and sharpen their leadership and decision-making skills. The broader vision that should be driving eSports initiatives, is to prepare students for a future where technology and innovation dominate, says Hugo. “By immersing them in a safe and managed gaming ecosystem, we are opening doors to careers in STEM, game design, coding, and beyond. Students who have a keen interest and learn to strategise in Minecraft today might code their own games tomorrow or analyse data to optimise performance in professional eSports leagues. “This isn’t just about keeping pace with trends, it’s about anticipating the interests and needs of tomorrow’s workforce and giving students a headstart. Through this blend of competition and creativity, schools are able to support a generation equipped to thrive in fields that are redefining the global economy.” Hugo says it’s not just about winning tournaments—it’s about experiencing life in a tech-driven world.  “For a generation experiencing a digital economy, the skills honed in virtual design and collaboration may likely be their greatest asset in future.”

Double digit 2025 growth in both schools and tertiary divisions takes total enrolments above 100 000 students for the first time 24 March 2025: Commenting on the year ended 31 December 2024, ADvTECH CEO, Geoff Whyte said: “Healthy enrolment growth, moderate fee increases and a further improvement in margins contributed to ADvTECH delivering another strong set of results. In the year under review, we expanded operations in our home market and across the African continent whilst continuing to invest in superior technology to enhance teaching and learning.” “In the current year, we are also pleased to report double digit enrolment growth in both our schools and tertiary divisions and that our education business has broken through 100 000 students for the first time.” Group: Operational and financial performance · Revenue up 8% to R8 521 million (2023: R7 860 million) · Operating profit up 14% to R1 791 million (2023: R1 577 million) · Operating margin improved to 21.0% (2023: 20.1%) · Normalised earnings per share increased by 16% to 202.5 cents Group revenue grew by 8% to R8 521 million (2023: R7 860 million), driven by a 13% increase in the education division and an 8% contraction in the resourcing division. Group operating profit increased by 14% to R1 791 million (2023: R1 577 million) with the education division’s operating profit increasing by 15%. Whilst the resourcing division’s performance regressed, this had minimal impact on group profitability. Group operating margin improved to 21.0% (2023: 20.1%). Operating margin in the education division improved to 24.2% (2023: 23.8%) through the benefit of operating leverage and our continued drive for efficiency gains. This more than offset the additional costs incurred to strengthen our offering through the introduction of additional global benchmarking measures, artificial intelligence tools to support personalised learning and enhanced student information systems. Normalised earnings for the year increased by 17% to R1 109 million (2023: R950 million) while normalised earnings per share increased by 16% to 202.5 cents (2023: 174.2 cents) per share. The strong cash generating capacity of the group is demonstrated by cash generated from operating activities increasing by 16% to R2 250 million (2023: R1 941 million). Capital expenditure of R982 million focused mainly on increasing capacity on existing sites to meet incremental demand (R328 million), the development of a new school (R64 million), acquiring new sites for future expansion (R238 million), procuring equipment to enrich the group’s teaching and learning through technology and enhancing business systems (R78 million) to facilitate efficiency improvements. The Board is pleased to declare a final gross dividend of 63.0 cents (2023: 57.0 cents) per ordinary share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2024. This brings the full year dividend to 101.0 (2023: 87.0) per share. Divisions: Operational and financial performance Schools South Africa · Good enrolment growth and strong financial performance Revenue increased by 11% to R3 120 million (2023: R2 810 million) with all brands having shown enrolment growth. This reflects the increasing appeal of ADvTECH’s strong portfolio of education brands as we continue to gain market share. Operating profit increased by 12% to R640 million (2023: R570 million) with operating margin improving to 20.5% (2023: 20.3%), benefitting from scale leverage. Academic performance improved across key metrics year-on-year. Our 2024 matric students achieved a 99.4% pass rate, 94.5% bachelor’s degree pass rate and 3 317 distinctions at an average of 2.1 distinctions per student. Strong enrolment growth at Pinnacle College Raslouw has necessitated the accelerated build out of the school, which is currently under way. A new Pinnacle College campus also opened in Ridgeview, Roodepoort, in January 2025. Schools in the rest of Africa · Growing the group’s footprint The group has expanded its footprint in Africa with the acquisition of Flipper International Schools (FIS) group in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, adding five schools and over 3 000 students. The division now serves over 11 500 students across three countries. Our existing brands in the rest of Africa continued to experience strong enrolment growth which, together with the inclusion of the FIS group from November 2024, led to revenue increasing by 18% to R449 million (2023: R381 million). Operating profit increased by 28% to R146 million (2023: R114 million) and operating margin improved to 32.4% (2023: 30.0%). Construction of the next phase of the Crawford International School in Nairobi, Kenya, will commence in the second quarter of 2025. This is in response to continued strong demand driven by their market leading offering. Our higher priced Makini Cambridge International Curriculum continues to experience strong demand, with parents increasingly choosing it over the Kenyan national syllabus. This is having a positive impact on the overall financial performance of the schools. Gaborone International School in Gaborone, Botswana, continues to perform well and deliver good academic results. The development to increase their capacity to 3 300 students and to refurbish the pre-primary school has been completed. Tertiary/University division · Growing demand for the group’s well-established brand portfolio Revenue increased by 14% to R3 401 million (2023: R2 988 million) and operating profit increased by 15% to R903 million (2023: R787 million). Operating margin increased to 26.6% (2023: 26.3%) benefitting from operating leverage and efficiency gains, partially offset by investments to strengthen our brand propositions. Our tertiary division continues to perform well and to grow on the back of a well-established brand portfolio that offers a comprehensive and expanding range of programmes and qualifications. In line with our strategy, the division is also achieving strong enrolment growth in its distance offering. Our throughput rates improved to 80% (2023: 78%) and on-time graduation completion rates were more than double that of public universities. The expansion of our Rosebank College sites in Braamfontein and Polokwane is currently under way. A new purpose-built campus has also been completed for Vega Pretoria adjacent to Varsity College. During the year, we acquired a 47 000m 2 property off Grayston Drive in Sandton. This is being developed into a brand-new campus with initial capacity for 9 000 students. This acquisition is in line with our intention to become a fully-fledged university. Varsity College Sandton and Vega Bordeaux will relocate to the site in time for the 2026 academic year. Rosebank College will launch its first international tertiary institution in Accra, Ghana, in September 2025. Resourcing division · Improved profit and operating margin in rest of Africa A lower number of placements, due to the challenging economic environment, led to revenue and operating profit declining in South Africa. In the rest of Africa, the replacement of low margin contracts with higher margin contracts led to a decline in revenue but an improvement in operating profit and margin.  Prospects ADvTECH’s intent is to lead in every market segment in which we choose to operate and to become the employer of choice in the resourcing and education sectors. The group is uniquely positioned to enrich people’s lives through being the leader in teaching and learning across the African continent. “ADvTECH’s sound balance sheet, strong cash generation, growing scale and expertise in Africa and our unrelenting focus on extending competitive advantage, position us well to maintain our growth trajectory and invest with confidence in areas of opportunity,” concluded Whyte.

Key fields that are non-negotiables to prepare students in an unpredictable landscape The landscape of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in higher education is rapidly evolving. With the advent of new technologies, changing job market demands, and the increasing importance of digital literacy across all sectors, public universities and private institutions in South Africa must rethink their approaches to ensure they adequately prepare graduates for the future, an education expert says. “It is important to explore the essential future-focused areas that should be prioritised in ICT higher education while acknowledging the traditional aspects that remain crucial for a well-rounded education,” says Natasha Madhav, Senior Head of Programme: ICT at The Independent Institute of Education , SA’s leading private higher education provider. Madhav says one of the most significant trends shaping the future of ICT is the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) . “Educational programmes must incorporate these technologies into their curricula, providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to leverage AI and ML in real-world applications. This includes not only theoretical understanding, but also hands-on experience with tools and platforms used in the industry.” Cybersecurity and data privacy is another key focus area that should not be overlooked, says Madhav. “With the increasing reliance on digital technologies comes the heightened risk of cyber threats and data breaches. As a result, cybersecurity education is critical. ICT programmes should emphasise the principles of secure coding, ethical hacking, and data protection measures. Furthermore, understanding legal and regulatory frameworks related to data privacy is essential for preparing students for careers in this vital field.” Madhav says cloud computing has also revolutionised the way businesses operate, and knowledge of cloud infrastructure and services is now a prerequisite for many ICT roles. “Higher education institutions must include cloud computing in their curricula, teaching students about cloud architecture, deployment, and management. Additionally, integrating DevOps practices into ICT education fosters collaboration between development and operations teams, enabling graduates to excel in dynamic work environments. Also, the ability to analyse and interpret large volumes of data is increasingly important in decision-making across industries. ICT education should incorporate data analytics into its programmes, teaching students how to use data visualisation tools, statistical analysis, and predictive modelling techniques. This will equip graduates with the skills needed to turn data into actionable insights, a valuable asset in today’s data-driven world. The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is also creating new opportunities and challenges for ICT professionals, Madhav says. “Education programmes must address the complexities of IoT, including sensor technology, network design, and data management. Students should gain hands-on experience with IoT applications, preparing them for roles in smart cities, healthcare, and other sectors where IoT is transforming operations.” Madhav says however that while a focus on the future is very important in staying relevant, maintaining traditional educational values is equally important. While embracing these future-focused areas, ICT higher education must also retain traditional aspects that are foundational to effective learning. These include: A strong grounding in computer science fundamentals. Topics such as algorithms, data structures, and programming languages form the bedrock of ICT education. Students should have a deep understanding of these principles to adapt to new technologies and methodologies as they emerge.” Critical thinking and problem-solving skills also remain a core competency for ICT professionals. Higher education should cultivate these skills through project-based learning, case studies, and collaborative assignments. By engaging in real-world challenges, students develop the capacity to analyse problems, devise solutions, and implement them effectively. Ethics and social responsibility are more important than ever as technology continues to impact society, and it is vital for ICT programmes to address these. Educating students about the ethical implications of technology, data usage, and the digital divide encourages them to be conscientious professionals who prioritise the well-being of society in their work. And in an increasingly interconnected world, effective communication and collaboration skills are essential. ICT graduates must be able to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences and work collaboratively across disciplines. Higher education should incorporate group projects, presentations, and interdisciplinary courses to enhance these skills. “A holistic approach to ICT education is important because it equips graduates with not only technical skills but also the critical thinking, ethical awareness, and communication abilities necessary to navigate and impact the complex and rapidly evolving digital landscape effectively,” says Madhav. “The future of ICT in higher education lies in striking a balance between embracing innovation and retaining traditional educational values. By focusing on emerging technologies while also emphasising foundational principles, educational institutions can prepare graduates to thrive in a rapidly changing and highly unpredictable landscape.”

Africa’s leading private education group, JSE-listed ADvTECH, has launched South Africa’s first dedicated Centre of Teaching and Learning Excellence, focused on driving excellence across all educational phases in the country. The centre will be the first of its kind, centralising continuous professional development training across both schools and tertiary phases. Named SIRIUS (after the brightest star in the sky), the centre will be a dynamic learning space, dedicated to facilitating relevant micro-courses and workshops to enhance teaching practices and promote the continuous professional development of the group’s teachers, lecturers, research and supervisors across its 119 schools and 33 tertiary campuses. “SIRIUS will serve as the central hub for educational excellence. ADvTECH teaching and academic staff will be provided with the innovative resources, support, and professional development opportunities, both online and in-person, that they need to consistently excel and drive student growth and performance,” says Desiree Hugo, SIRIUS Schools Head. “SIRIUS will be a dynamic learning space which will focus on specific areas of practice to support and improve student learning and results, as great teaching can be learned,” she says. SIRIUS will therefore play a key role in supporting educators in schools and tertiary to deliver on the academic excellence promise of ADvTECH. Hugo says the center will support ADvTECH’s academic leadership positioning by: Implementing tools for teaching and learning innovation aligned to global benchmarks; Driving continuous development of teaching and academic practices that will attract and retain top teachers and academics (lecturers, researchers and supervisors); Leveraging research projects to inform and operationalise internal best practices, and Capacitating teaching and learning skills for improved student academic outcomes. SIRIUS modes of delivery will include in-person training at the SIRIUS Hub, online real-time facilitation, and curated online resources for independent self-study. “We are very excited about the development of our dedicated teaching studio in Sandton, which is specifically designed to facilitate the teaching of 21st century pedagogies,” says Hugo. The studio will facilitate in-person learning of up to 60 delegates at a time, in a relaxed atmosphere with modern and inspiring spaces equipped with flexible furnishing and cutting-edge technology. It will include inclusive and functional features, such as a coffee bar, collaboration spaces, and resource centre, as well as a dynamic teaching space that can be adapted to accommodate the various educational phases. SIRIUS Tertiary Head, Dr Gill Mooney, says the center will ensure that ADvTECH has a strong and sustainable pipeline of excellent teaching and learning professionals to support the group's growth imperative, to further solidify its sector leadership position now and into the future. “By centralising and leveraging skilled and scarce teaching and learning resources, we will be able to further drive excellent academic performance, as well as attract and retain top talent for both our schools and tertiary division, given the extent and accessibility of developmental opportunities. We like to call this empathic empowerment, where all our academics and teachers have the opportunity to shine,” she says.
