We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements of MTN Group Limited, in the accompanying interim report, which comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 June 2025 and the related condensed consolidated income statement and condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six months then ended and selected explanatory notes.
The directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated interim financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. ISRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial statements are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. This standard also requires us to comply with relevant ethical requirements.
A review of interim financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2410 is a limited assurance engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluate the evidence obtained.
The procedures in a review are substantially less than and differ in nature from those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated interim financial statements.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements of MTN Group Limited for the six months ended 30 June 2025 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and the requirements of the Companies Act of South Africa.
