Amounts: USD (converted) · As reported
Converted modes use NBK / ECB-linked rates: balance sheet date for BS items, period average for P&L and cash flow (see filing row evidence). As reported keeps each row in its filing currency.

Financial results

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.

Profit and cash

Worth a look
In a typical year of 2021–2025 operating cash flow came to 1.26x of reported net profit; after capex, 0.88x.
year20212022202320242025
cash flow / profit1.26x0.73x1.30x1.06x1.62x
accruals, % of assets-2.8%4.0%-4.1%-0.8%-8.9%
Last twelve months (to 2026-02-28): 2.28x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
capex 0.6x of depreciation
Capex is 57% of depreciation - the asset base is being consumed faster than replaced.
Read from the reported annual statements: cash flow / profit is the median of the yearly operating cash flow over net profit for the years shown; accruals are (profit − operating cash flow) / assets, the classic gap between what was booked and what was collected. A gap can be growth in working capital, capitalised costs, revaluations or profit from associates — the panel points at it, the statements explain it. Not investment advice.

Fundamental value creation

Value the company creates per year, as a % of market cap

Value created per year: +6.4%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-02-28 vs 2025-02-28)
= (3 256 − 3 013) × 2.05
497
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (49 642 + 3 176) ÷ 6 661
7.9x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 8) ÷ 2
= (7.9 + 8) ÷ 2
8.0x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= -803 + 0 + 0 − 0
-803
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (497 × 8.0 + -803) ÷ 49 642
+6.4%

Amounts in millions of the reporting currency. EBITDA growth is the latest quarter vs the same quarter a year ago, annualised.

Caveats:

  • half-year basis (semi-annual reporter)
  • dividends/buybacks not in data - balance cash flow uses net-debt change only

Revenue growth & acceleration

Growth decelerating ▼
Last-year revenue growth +5% vs +9% the year before — a -3.9 pp move. 3-year CAGR +7%.
revenue growth by year: 2023 +5% · 2024 +9% · 2025 +5%
The growth-acceleration signal behind the GARP+acceleration strategy — it favours companies whose revenue growth is speeding up and flags those slowing down (the second derivative of growth).
