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 2023–2026 operating cash flow came to 2.16x of reported net profit; after capex, 1.86x.

cash flow / profit1.91x2.18x2.31x2.15x
accruals, % of assets-9.8%-13.0%-14.7%-10.5%
Last twelve months (to 2026-03-31): 2.15x of profit came back as operating cash flow.
net debt / EBITDA -0.5x · capex 0.3x of depreciation
● Capex is 32% 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: +7.0%

How this was calculated
1. EBITDA growth (latest quarter YoY, annualised)
[EBITDA latest qtr − EBITDA year-ago qtr] × annualisation X (2026-03-31 vs 2025-03-31)
= (6 904 − 6 602) × 1.35
408
2. Current EV/EBITDA (LTM)
(Market cap + Net debt) ÷ EBITDA (LTM)
= (42 474 + -4 673) ÷ 9 328
4.1x
3. Target multiple
(Current EV/EBITDA + 8) ÷ 2
= (4.1 + 8) ÷ 2
6.0x
4. Cash flow (balance method, LTM)
Net-debt reduction + dividends + buybacks − equity issuance
= 526 + 0 + 0 − 0
526
5. Value created per year
(EBITDA growth × Target multiple + Cash flow − Dilution) ÷ Market cap
= (408 × 6.0 + 526) ÷ 42 474
+7.0%

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 +4% vs +10% the year before — a -6.3 pp move. 3-year CAGR +10%.
revenue growth by year: 2024 +16% · 2025 +10% · 2026 +4%
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).

Peer comparison

Group: consumer (South Africa). Every peer trades on the same market, so no adjustment is needed.

This companySouth Africa2.64.1x

Group median 4.8x; this company 4.1x — a 16% discount.

Group average 5.2x; against the average this company is at a 23% discount.

At the adjusted group median the market cap would be +17% 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.
