  1. Growth in Enterprise value*

  2. Annual ordinary dividend (cents per share)

  3. Line of business analysis

  4. Regional analysis

* measured by adjusted Return on Group Equity Value (RoGEV)

Understanding RoGEV

Our primary performance target for measuring shareholder value creation is Return on Group Equity Value (RoGEV), which reflects our success in growing the value of Sanlam’s operations over the long term.

What is RoGEV?

RoGEV is a robust forward-looking financial performance indicator that primarily measures the value we add for our shareholders. Given the direct relationship over the long term between shareholder and other stakeholder value creation, RoGEV indirectly reflects how successfully we create value for our other material stakeholders. For a business such as Sanlam, where earnings from a particular client solution emerge over a number of years, RoGEV is a more appropriate performance measure compared to traditional return on capital and earnings metrics. It combines current year earnings compared to expectations (short-term performance) and changes in future expected earnings (long-term performance) in a single performance metric. This makes RoGEV a robust composite value measure for a diversified group such as Sanlam.

What is GEV?

Group Equity Value (GEV) provides an indication of the value of Sanlam’s total business, including life and non-life operations. It does not represent an appraisal value of the Group as it does not place a value on new life insurance business that will be written in future. It includes:

Unlocking the growth potential into value returns by empowering generations to be financially confident, secure and prosperous
