SUMMARISED PRELIMINARY CONDENSED AUDITED CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022, DIVIDEND DECLARATION AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (“AGM”)
Introduction to the Nu-World Holdings Group
Nu-World is a company incorporated and domiciled in South Africa with subsidiaries in Australia, Brazil, Dubai, Hong
Kong and Lesotho. The main business of Nu-World and its subsidiaries includes the importing, assembling, marketing
and distribution of branded consumer goods.
The Board presents the Nu-World summary results for the twelve months ended 31 August 2022. The Group’s results
to 31 August 2022 were disappointing due to a severely distressed Global economy. The South African insurrection of
July 2021 still had a negative impact on the Group’s 2022 results.
In SA, revenue decreased by 14,2% compared to the prior year due to a combination of weak volume growth, subdued
selling price inflation and reduced consumer discretionary expenditure.
Offshore operations increased revenue by 14.2% primarily due to stronger USD, in addition to positive signals starting
to occur in other offshore markets.
