Monetary columns are in B ZAR, 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: +15.8%
| 1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised) [EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-06-30 vs 2025-06-30) = (8 002 − 7 518) × 2.08 | 1 009 |
| 2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM) (Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM) = (75 863 + 28 094) ÷ 16 682 | 6.2x |
| 3. Target multiple (Current EV/EBITDA + 8) ÷ 2 = (6.2 + 8) ÷ 2 | 7.1x |
| 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 = (1 009 × 7.1 + 4 800) ÷ 75 863 | +15.8% |
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 | 4.5 | 6.2x |
Group median 4.7x; this company 6.2x — a 32% premium.
Group average 5.0x; against the average this company is at a 24% premium.
At the adjusted group median the market cap would be -33% versus today.
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 22.8x, Russia 3.9x, South Africa 5.1x, Kazakhstan 6.6x, India 18.2x, Indonesia 4.8x); it is about where a name is listed, not what it does. Peer multiples come from the nightly rebuild of 2026-10-05; the company's own is live.
