We elaborate more on our business landscape and the economies in the region from page 42 in section 6 of this integrated report. I am grateful that we can report positive results notwithstanding the challenging economic and business environment. Group operating profit grew by 26.0% year on year, and group profit after tax reached a new milestone to exceed the N$1 billion mark. Shareholders are rewarded with a 14.9% growth in headline earnings per share and a final dividend of 36 cents per share, 20% more than the 2018 final dividend. I want to thank and congratulate our Capricorn citizens on a commendable performance and express my heartfelt appreciation for their resilience, dedication and hard work to deliver these results. We remain committed to our vision and continue to grow our network of people and channels that enable opportunities to be created, financed, transacted and secured wherever we operate. As a group with deep roots in Namibia, our prospects are strongly intertwined with those of our economy, people and environment. Despite deeply concerning realities, we believe we have what it will take to see us through the challenges ahead. We also believe that the cycle will start turning in the medium term and until then our country and group will rely and build on our collective resilience. JOHAN SWANEPOEL We are in the fortunate position to have a strong capital position. Group chairman This is supplemented by the backing of our two shareholders of reference, Capricorn Investment Holdings and the Government Institutions Pension Fund (GIPF). The group has built up a considerable liquid asset buffer and have put in place appropriate contingency funding facilities as important measures to mitigate liquidity risk and secure access to funding. Reflecting on the 2019 financial year, a few aspects stand out: • We continued to improve our customer value proposition.

    SADC BUSINESS CASE STUDIES Various surveys and indices have identifi ed major business constraints in SADC. These include independent assessments of the regional business climate plus studies that specifi cally refl ect the views of the private sector. These assessments have been undertaken over a number of years but there has been little follow up by policy makers or attempts to address the identifi ed constraints. To assist in this regard, the SADC Secretariat in collaboration with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) has initiated a research and dialogue project that aims at identifying the most important business constraints for the SADC region and making them more tangible by conducting fi rm level case studies on the identifi ed constraints. This is one of the collection of case studies. A CASE STUDY ON CAPRICORN INVESTMENT HOLDINGS (CIH) FEBRUARY 2013 FIRM OVERVIEW Name Capricorn Investment Holdings (CIH) Nationality Namibian Sector Financial Services SADC countries where Namibia, Botswana, Zambia doing business BACKGROUND CIH is a fi nancial services and banking group based in Namibia. It is the majority shareholder in Bank Windhoek, Namibia’s only fully locally owned bank. CIH also has interests in the insurance and asset management markets through various subsidiaries as well as strategic shareholding in underwriters like Santam and Sanlam Namibia. Facing a momentarily saturated market from 2002 onwards, CIH embarked on a regional strategy to accomplish growth and looked for markets with similar dynamics and stability as Namibia. This resulted in the acquisition of a 44 percent share in the Cavmont Bank in Zambia in 2007 and the start of a Greenfi eld operation - Bank Gaborone - in Botswana in 2004.
