In accordance with Section 3.4 (b) of the Lusaka Securities Exchange (“LuSE”) Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors of Copperbelt Energy Corporation Plc (“CEC” or “the Group” or “the Company”) hereby advises its shareholders that the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) for the half-year ended 30th June 2025, is likely to be approximately 42% higher than that for the half-year ended 30th June 2024.

This increase in EPS is primarily attributable to the write-back of part of the previously impaired receivables from Konkola Copper Mines PLC (“KCM”), amounting to US$10.4 million, and an increase in revenue across all business segments. Shareholders are advised that the information in this trading statement has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s external auditors.

The results for the half-year ended 30th June 2025 are expected to be released on SENS on 29th August 2025 and published in the local media on or about 1st September 2025. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing with the Company’s securities until the results are published.

By order of the Board
Julia C Z Chaila (Mrs)
Company Secretary
