("RFG" or "the group")
TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 SEPTEMBER 2025
Shareholders are advised that RFG's earnings per share for the year ended 28
September 2025 ("the period") are expected to be between 19% and 24% lower
than the 217.9 cents reported for the year ended 29 September 2024 ("the prior
period").
The group's earnings have been impacted by two main factors:
1. In the regional segment, pressure on canned meat volumes driven by
sustained high input costs and moderated demand from constrained
consumers in response to higher prices resulted in lower revenue and reduced
margins. Consequently, an impairment loss of R105 million has been
recognised against this business unit.
2. While the international segment reported an improved revenue and profit
performance during the second half of the period, slower global demand due
to an oversupply of deciduous fruit products resulted in lower revenue for the
full period. This, combined with gross margin pressure due to weak market
conditions and a stronger Rand, contributed to a decline in the profitability of
the segment relative to the prior period.
Earnings for the period are expected to be as follows:
