 (1)   In order to reflect trading performance in a consistent manner year on year, a number of non-trading items that limit comparability are removed from our statutory profit before tax to arrive at underlying profit. This
       distinguishes underlying profit from other constituents of the statutory profit before tax, excluding items relating to business combinations and disposals, fluctuations in foreign exchange, property revaluations and
       investment returns on return-seeking assets, along with other one-off items.

Cautionary statement concerning
forward-looking statements

This document may contain certain “forward-looking statements”. Statements that are not historical facts,
including statements about the beliefs and expectations of the British United Provident Association Limited Group
(“Bupa”) and Bupa’s directors or management, are forward-looking statements. In particular, but not exclusively,
these may relate to Bupa’s plans, current goals and expectations relating to future financial condition, performance
and results.
 By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and
depend upon future circumstances that may or may not occur, many of which are beyond Bupa’s control and all of
which are solely based on Bupa’s current beliefs and expectations about future events. These circumstances
include, among others, global economic and business conditions, market related risks such as fluctuations in
interest rates and exchange rates, the policies and actions of governmental and regulatory authorities, the impact
of competition, the timing, impact and other uncertainties of future mergers or combinations within relevant
industries. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors,
which may cause the actual future condition, results, performance or achievements of Bupa or its industry to be
materially different to those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements. Other than as required by
law, Bupa expressly disclaims any obligations or undertakings to release publicly any updates or revisions to any
forward-looking statements to reflect any change in the expectations of Bupa with regard thereto or any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
 The information contained in this presentation is intended to be read in conjunction with, and not as a substitute
for, Bupa’s half year statement for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (the “HY17 Report”). In the event of any
inconsistency, the HY17 Report should be considered to prevail.
