Executive summary
FY 2025 was challenging due to macroeconomic headwinds and significant transformation, especially in apparel, with strong Food segment performance offset by weaker Apparel and CRG results.
Group sales increased by almost 7%, but adjusted EBIT fell 10.9% and adjusted diluted HEPS dropped 19%.
Sale of Bourke Street property in Australia strengthened the balance sheet and generated a post-tax capital gain of R792m.
CRG in Australia underperformed due to restructuring and tough trading, but transformation is now complete.
Strategic focus shifts from turnaround to growth, leveraging a strong brand and completed transformation, with Food as the core value driver.
Financial highlights
Group turnover and concession sales reached ZAR 81 billion, up over 6% year-over-year; adjusted EBITDA was ZAR 8.7 billion, down 3.8%; adjusted EBIT ZAR 5.2 billion, down 10.9%.
Adjusted diluted HEPS declined 19% to ZAR 3.03 per share; total dividend ZAR 1.88 per share.
Net borrowings held at ZAR 5.6 billion; net debt/EBITDA at 1.46x, within covenants.
Free cash flow of ZAR 1.9 billion; cash conversion rate of 83%.
Sale of Bourke Street property in December 2024 for R2.6bn (A$223.5m), with proceeds used to reduce debt and invest in growth.
Outlook and guidance
Food sales growth for the first seven weeks of FY 2026 at 6.9%, with price inflation expected at 4.5%-5.5%.
Apparel businesses are in a period of foundational investment, with benefits expected from FY26; CRG expected to return to positive earnings growth, more skewed to H2 FY 2026.
Inventory levels expected to normalize; CapEx to decrease to ZAR 2.7 billion in FY 2026.
Net debt expected to decrease, with buybacks funded by property sale proceeds.
Macro outlook in both South Africa and Australia is more favourable, but consumer pressure and global trade uncertainties persist.
Why revise FBH EBIT margin target lower?
What drives CRG's FY26 positive earnings confidence?
How will CapEx and buyback impact net debt?

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
