FESTIVE SEASON TRADING AND ACQUISITIONS UPDATE
Q4 2025 TRADING UPDATE
Dipula derives approximately 70% of its income from defensively positioned retail properties, comprising centres
located in township, rural and urban convenience nodes. The retail portfolio delivered a robust performance during the
2025 festive season, recording a 5% increase in turnover over the quarter ended 31 December 2024.
All retail categories, except for services and hardware, reported above-inflation turnover growth ranging from 3% to
11%. The strongest growth was recorded in the cellular and electronics categories, while services turnover declined
slightly by 2%.
On a provincial basis, the highest turnover growth was achieved in KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape, at 10% and
8%, respectively. Limpopo recorded turnover growth of 6%. The North-West recorded growth of 4%, while Gauteng
and the Free State each reported turnover growth of 3% and Mpumalanga experienced a marginal decline of 1.5%.
Turnover at Dipula's urban convenience and rural centres increased by 6%, while urban township centres recorded
growth of 3%.
The strongest sales performance for the quarter was recorded in November 2025 as customers appear to be doing earlier
festive season shopping than was previously the norm.
