INTRODUCTION
Transpaco's reduction in operating profit was in line with a similar anticipated drop in revenue
due to challenging trading conditions. Weak consumer and business sentiment continues to affect
Transpaco while the South African economy remains stagnant.
Group revenue contracted by R55 million, a 2,2% reduction to R2 432 billion (June 2024: R2 487 billion)
for the 12 months ended 30 June 2025 ("the year").
The Plastics divisions revenue increased marginally by 0,2% while Paper experienced a 4,6% decrease.
Transpaco's operating profit decreased by 2,4% to R207,6 million (June 2024: R212,7 million),
maintaining an 8,6% operating margin (June 2024: 8,6%).
Notwithstanding the decrease in headline earnings (HE) of 3,4%, headline earnings per share (HEPS)
declined 0,9% to 516,2 cents (June 2024: 520,9 cents) further impacted by the share buy-back during
the year.
Notably, revenue in the first six months of the financial year is traditionally greater than in the
second six months due to the seasonal nature of the business.
Transpaco's robust balance sheet is attributable to the group's continued sound investment strategy,
considered capital allocation and strict working capital management.
