Commentary on Half Year Results

For the six months period ended 31 March 2026.

Trading Environment

The first half of the financial year saw stability in trading conditions bolstered by a positive 2024/25 agricultural season, increased diaspora remittances, and the continued rally in gold prices. Furthermore, a sustained tight monetary regime has maintained the stability of the Zimbabwe Gold (ZWG), keeping month-on-month inflation within single digits. Consequently, the construction sector benefited significantly as both corporate and household players increased allocations of amounts spent to infrastructure projects.

We acknowledge Government efforts to improve the ease of doing business by strengthening governance and harmonizing regulatory levies and taxes. We anticipate that the ongoing crackdown on smuggling and unfair trade practices will eventually yield positive results if sustained.

While most economic indicators are positive, the global commodity rally as well as the costs push inflationary factors caused by fuel price escalations has increased raw material costs, specifically copper and polymers for cable manufacturing. This rise in input costs may dampen the appetite for infrastructure-related products and create pressure on competitiveness as the businesses balance volume growth with balance sheet protection.

Operational Update

Sales & Marketing

Overall volumes for the 6 months to 31 March 2026 grew by 14% year-on-year. This was supported by a 16% and 10% recovery in Copper and Aluminium volumes respectively.

  • Retail: Grew by 37%, driven by enhanced channel partner integration and a renewed focus on customer service within our factory shops.
  • Commercial: Remained stable at 2% above the prior year.
  • Exports: Improved by 109% following the realignment of the distribution model and the removal of the consignment-stock system. The business continues to benefit from its agility in meeting customer lead times.
  • Utilities: Declined by 17% as offtake was limited by liquidity constraints within the sector. There is commitment from utilities to convert the pipeline of back orders into deliveries.

Factory Operations

Production volumes grew by 13% against the prior year as the company adapted its stocking and manufacturing approaches to shifting demand.

  • Equipment & Power Improvements: While power availability improved, power quality remains a challenge; 324 hours of production were lost due to voltage fluctuations, compared to 99 hours in the prior year. It is important to note that the Solar Plant went live in March and is expected to contribute 30% of CAFCA's power requirements going forward.
  • Safety: The company maintained an excellent safety record during the first 6 months with zero incidents recorded, compared to four incidents in the same period prior year.

Financial Update

  • Revenue: Grew by 24% compared to the previous year, driven by volume growth and higher copper prices.
  • Profit after tax: Increased by 211%, primarily due to volume growth and cost-optimization measures implemented in the previous year.
  • Statement of financial position: Remains robust, supported by strong working capital optimisation initiative.

Directorate

There were no changes to the Directorate during the period under review.

Dividend

The Board decided not to declare an interim dividend given cash flow consideration (2025 nil).


Outlook

We maintain an optimistic outlook yet remain mindful of the persistent challenges in the operating environment specifically supply chain instability, power quality, and the influx of smuggled or otherwise substandard imported cables.
