During the first six-month period ended 31 October 2025, the Group registered an increase in turnover of 8.4%.
The Group operates an integrated retail platform in Malta that brings together supermarket, fashion and home retailing with complementary property and shared service activities. During the previous financial year, the Board has adopted a single, integrated view of the business whereby management and performance monitoring are now aligned to one retail operation, reflecting the way in which the Group's assets and capabilities are deployed to serve customers across our brands and locations. In line with this unified strategy, shared services such as procurement, logistics, pricing, marketing, technology and people management are coordinated across the unified portfolio to drive efficiency and a consistent customer experience to our retail proposition.
The Group's gross profit increased to €13.7 million for the six months ended 31 October 2025, up from €12.6 million in the previous year. This reflects the Group's ability to drive higher turnover and maintain operational efficiency.
Profit before tax amounted to €10.1 million as compared to €9.3 million the previous year. After deducting taxation, the Group registered a profit after tax of €7.8 million compared to €6.9 million the previous year, an increase of 13.0%.
Cash generated from operating activities amounted to €3.8 million, and at 31 October 2025 the Group's equity increased to €77.2 million.
The Group remains focused on its long-term strategic investment initiatives, with significant progress being made on major projects. These include the ongoing development and future operation of a shopping mall featuring diverse retail outlets, a PAVI-PAMA supermarket, multiple catering establishments, and a dedicated car park for patrons, as well as the development of the land adjacent to PAVI. The Board remains committed to ensuring that these projects are delivered on schedule, reinforcing our focus on operational excellence and sustainable growth.
The Group's operations are affected by inflationary cost pressures and geopolitical instability while seeing stronger competitive activity within the local market. However, we remain prudent in our outlook, recognising that there are a number of potential risks and opportunities that may influence our future performance.
Looking ahead, turnover maintained its upward trend, increasing by 10% after the first six-month period ended 31 October 2025. These results demonstrate our unwavering commitment to delivering the best value in the market without compromising on quality, and our continued efforts to protect and enhance our competitive edge.
On 25 November 2025, the Board of Directors resolved to distribute a net interim dividend of €2.75 million in respect of the first six months of this financial year ending 30 April 2026. These dividends were paid on 5 December 2025 to the ordinary shareholders registered on the books of the Group as at 28 November 2025.
