TOGETHER WE AREVIVO ENERGY PLC STRONGER ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2020 TOGETHER THROUGH ADVERSITY These are exceptional times, and this has been an extraordinary year. As soon as the pandemic became apparent, our markets in Africa took swift action to restrict mobility in order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. This effective closure of parts of the economy led to a dramatic reduction in travel which tested the resilience of our business. Its underlying strength has enabled Africa to deal with threats in the past and to bounce back, energised by a youthful population and a growing middle class. As a young, energetic company with a growing network, we have pulled together during this crisis. We played our part, not just as a business, but with our partners and as a pillar of our local communities. The future of Vivo Energy is inseparable from the bright future of our continent. Whatever the immediate future brings, we look forward with confidence. The Board and I are proud of how our teams across the Group quickly responded to the impact of COVID-19 – keeping the business running, supporting each other and our stakeholders, and demonstrating true resilience.” JOHN DALY CHAIRMAN VIVO ENERGY PLC | ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2020 STRATEGIC REPORT GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OTHER INFORMATION 2020 HIGHLIGHTS – Played our part by prioritising the safety REVENUES VOLUME GROSS CASH PROFIT of our people, our customers and our US$ million Million litres US$ million communities throughout the pandemic. – Took swift action at the start of the pandemic, maintaining the resilience of our business and the strength of our balance sheet. 6,918 9,637 697 – Raised $350 million in new long-term debt through completion of our inaugural -17% -7% -6% bond transaction. – Delivered an industry-leading safety record ADJUSTED EBITDA NET INCOME RECOMMENDED DPS during the year.

Thanks to the fast response and dedication of our innovative and quick‑thinking teams we were able to keep our business running and to support our customers throughout the lockdowns. Protecting the health and safety of our people and customers remained our number one priority – adapting our service stations, depots and facilities to make them safe and secure. We implemented a range of projects to help our local communities – including supporting many of our host governments’ COVID‑19 funds, providing free fuel for healthcare workers, blending hand sanitisers at our lubricant blending plants, supporting e‑learning applications for children whose schools had closed, and providing supplies to those most in need through local NGOs. And we protected jobs – working closely with our dealer network and our transport partners to protect the jobs of the front line staff employed by them while volumes were low. Throughout the pandemic, we supported and protected our stakeholders – playing our part, and demonstrating that together we are resilient.
