12. BORROWINGS Reference rate reform After the transition away from certain interbank offered rates in foreign jurisdictions (IBOR reform), the reforms to South Africas reference interest rate are now accelerating rapidly. The Johannesburg Interbank Average Rate (JIBAR) will be replaced by the new South African Overnight Index Average (ZARONIA). Certain of the Companys borrowings reference JIBAR as a base interest rate. ZARONIA reflects the interest rate at which rand-denominated overnight wholesale funds are obtained by commercial banks. There is uncertainty surrounding the timing and manner in which the transition would occur and how this would affect our borrowings. The Company is in regular contact with its lenders and will update existing borrowing agreements to the new base rate when ZARONIA is adopted by the financial industry and lenders as the new reference rate.

19. Income tax Income tax in interim periods For the purposes of interim financial reporting, the Company determines the appropriate income tax provision by first applying the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year to ordinary income. This amount is then adjusted for the tax effect of significant unusual items, for instance, changes in tax law, valuation allowances and non-deductible transaction-related expenses that are reported separately, and have an impact on the tax charge. The cumulative effect of any change in the enacted tax rate, if and when applicable, on the opening balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities is also included in the tax charge as a discrete event in the interim period in which the enactment date occurs. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2025, the Companys effective tax rate was impacted by the tax expense recorded by the Companys profitable South African operations, non-deductible expenses (including transaction-related expenditures) , the on- going losses incurred by certain of the Companys South African businesses, a valuation allowance created related to the fair value adjustment to MobiKwik, and the associated valuation allowances created related to the deferred tax assets recognized regarding net operating losses incurred by these entities.

Change to internal reporting structure and re cast of previously reported information The Companys chief operating decision maker is the Companys Executive Chairman. During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, he changed the Companys operating and internal reporting structures to present a new segment, Enterprise, separately.
