Audited annual consolidated results and cash dividend declaration for the year ended 31 March 2025
Invicta is pleased to report a strong set of results for the 2025 financial year end, reflecting the resilient and consistent
performance of our core operations. Throughout the year, we remained focused on streamlining our business,
enhancing efficiency, and executing key strategic initiatives.
Several acquisitions and disposals took place:
- Redemption of all 6.9 million outstanding preference shares for R703 million, unlocking additional value for
ordinary shareholders.
- Repurchase and cancellation of 4.9 million ordinary shares for R157 million.
- Acquisition of 100% of Nationwide Bearing Company Limited in the United Kingdom.
- Disposal of 100% shareholding in KMP Holdings to our 48.8% joint venture Kian Ann Engineering Pte. Ltd.
- Both transactions were effective 1 April 2024.
- The property owned by our Kian Ann joint venture in Singapore was disposed of and the operations moved to
China, which resulted in a once-off profit attributable to Invicta of R222 million (231 cents), which accounted for
a substantial portion of the 57% increase in basic earnings per share.
Results summary:
- Revenue grew by 6%.
- Operating profit before foreign exchange movements for the period was 21% higher than the prior year.
- HEPS and sustainable HEPS increased by 14% and 13% respectively.
- Net Asset Value per share increased by 13%.
- Cash on hand of R800 million.
