Introduction
The Group's defensive portfolio of affordable medicines delivered a resilient performance in a constrained
environment where consumers remain under pressure from high interest rates, exchange rate depreciation,
high inflation and continued loadshedding, all of which result in lower disposable income.
The Board of Directors (Board) is satisfied with the results, despite these challenging circumstances. The Company
has retained its status as the Number 1 pharmaceutical player in the South African private market. The
Group continued to return capital to shareholders through the buyback of shares in the period under review.
Prospects
The Group will continue to focus on expanding its product portfolio, by acquisition or partnership,
particularly in less price-regulated product classes, to grow revenue and protect margins. We are encouraged
by the Single Exit Price Adjustment awarded for 2024 of 6.79%, which will go some way to alleviating the
pressure caused by the weak Rand.
