Felicia Msiza, CEO of Raubex Group, said:
"In my first year as CEO of Raubex, it is with great pleasure that I report on the Group's
results for the year ended 28 February 2023. The Group has delivered an exceptional set
of results with record earnings achieved from our diversified portfolio, reflecting solid
execution of our strategy.
The performance is largely attributable to the successful completion of our flagship Beitbridge
Border Post project, a full year contribution from Bauba, while SANRAL projects in
KwaZulu-Natal gained momentum. The Western Australian operations contributed 19% to
the Group's total operating profit, demonstrating the robust performance of these operations.
The Group's performance for the year was not without its challenges, with the country as
well as the industries in which we operate facing severe headwinds. However, Raubex's
diversified business model, supported by its strong management team, robust balance sheet
and healthy cash balance, positioned the Group extremely well in taking advantage of
opportunities, both locally and offshore, in unlocking value for our stakeholders as well as
navigating the challenging market landscape.
Looking ahead, our focus is on delivering excellent quality to our customers, securing
additional high-margin infrastructure projects, containing costs and enhancing efficiencies
whilst building on our diversification strategy.
I am grateful for the support and guidance of my predecessor, Rudolf Fourie, and to our
Board for their sound counsel and excellent contribution during my first year as CEO.
Across both our African and international operations, Raubex continues to invest in our
people. Our employees are key to the success of our Group. I wish to sincerely thank our
employees for their unwavering support and loyalty. It is my view that our industry knowledge,
operational excellence and teamwork are what will continue to drive Raubex's business
performance over the long term and establishing the Group as a key differentiator in the
markets we operate in."
