Monetary columns are in M USD, one decimal; scale (K/M/B/T) keeps values readable. For the period (default) shows P&L and cash flow for that row’s reporting window: quarterly amounts when the feed uses quarter-duration facts (typical US 10-Q revenue and income), quarterly cash flows after stripping YTD where only cumulative tags exist, and an implied Q4 on 31 Dec FY rows (P&L: FY minus Q1–Q3; operating / investing cash flow: FY 12m minus 9M YTD to 30 Sep when sourced from SEC builder evidence) so they match 10-Q scale. Some issuers still use cumulative YTD minus the prior row in the same calendar year. As reported shows values stored on each row (e.g. full-year on FY). Balance sheet is always as reported. Source JSON may use millions etc.; conversion uses amounts_unit per row.

Our earnings breakdowns and investment notes on this issuer.
Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap
Value created per year: +155.0%
| 1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised) [EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-06-30 vs 2025-06-30) = (488 − 425) × 2.00 | 125 |
| 2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM) (Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM) = (4 634 + 28 094) ÷ 975 | 30.0x — capped at 30x |
| 3. Target multiple (Current EV/EBITDA + 8) ÷ 2 = (30.0 + 8) ÷ 2 | 19.0x |
| 4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM) Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance = 4 800 + 0 + 0 − 0 | 4 800 |
| 5. Value created per year (EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap = (125 × 19.0 + 4 800) ÷ 4 634 | +155.0% |
Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.
Caveats:
Group: consumer (South Africa). Every peer trades on the same market, so no adjustment is needed.

| Group median | 4.7x | ||
| Group average | 5.0x | ||
| This company | South Africa | 4.6 | 32.2x |
Group median 4.7x; this company 32.2x — a 588% premium.
Group average 5.0x; against the average this company is at a 539% premium.
The gap and the implied upside are measured against the median: one richly priced peer moves an average, not a median. The market adjustment uses our coverage medians (US 22.9x, Russia 4.0x, South Africa 5.0x, Kazakhstan 6.6x, India 18.3x, Indonesia 5.0x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does. Peer multiples come from the nightly rebuild of 2026-10-06; the company's own is live.
