FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Revenue increased to R350,5 million (F2023: R311,7 million) for
the reporting period, with the Group realising a profit before
earnings from its associate of R4,7 million (F2023: loss of R4,7
million). The investment in associate contributed income of R3,5
million (F2023: loss of R1,2 million) to the profit for the
reporting period, resulting in total comprehensive income for the
year attributable to owners of the Company of R8,2 million (F2023:
loss of R5,9 million).
BRICKS SEGMENT
Revenue in the Bricks segment increased by 6,8% to R226,0 million
(F2023: R211,6 million). The Bricks segment continued to perform
at exceptional levels during the reporting period. The increase in
revenue was a direct result of inflationary increases in selling
prices of bricks with sales quantities being in line with the
previous reporting period. Adequate planning, sufficient inventory
levels and continued focus on efficiencies in the production
process continued to contribute to the availability of saleable
product.
COAL SEGMENT
Revenue in the Coal segment, after deducting intersegment revenue,
increased by 24,4% to R124,5 million (F2023: R100,1 million). The
increase in revenue is as a result of the implementation of the
Coal Mining and Coal Purchase Agreement, effective 1 November
2023. In terms of the agreement all coal mined by the service
provider is also sold to the service provider and hence the
resultant increase in revenue.
OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE INTEREST, TAXATION AND EARNINGS FROM
ASSOCIATE
The Group realised an operating profit before interest, taxation
and earnings from associate of R23,8 million (F2023: R9,9
million). The Bricks segment realised an operating profit before
interest and taxation of R24,5 million (F2023: R15,7 million),
whilst the Coal segment realised an operating loss before interest
and taxation of R0,6 million (F2023: R5,8 million).
Other income, administrative expenses, distribution and other
expenses increased by 13,8% to R46,2 million (F2023: 40,6
million).
OUTLOOK
The directors are pleased to report on the exceptional performance
of the Group during a time of increased economic uncertainty,
rising inflation rates and associated cost.
The Bricks segment is still performing exceptionally and the
outlook for the remainder of the year remains positive.
The Coal segment is managed in terms of the Coal Mining and
Purchase Agreement and the directors remain confident that the
transaction would continue to add value to the Coal segment.
The Board remains confident about the potential which can be
unlocked from the Group.
Any forward-looking statements have neither been reviewed nor
reported on by the Group's auditors, Nexia SAB&T.
