Colin Brown: Thank you, Peter, and good morning to everyone on the webcast. Turning to slide 18, which presents the statement of comprehensive income. Total revenue from continuing operations increased by 6.2% to ZAR 45.8 billion, while EBITDA increased by 15.5% to ZAR 4.16 billion. Depreciation and amortization increased by 3.5%, broadly in line with the growth in the group's asset base. Operating profit increased by 26.6% to ZAR 2.37 billion, with the operating margin improving from 4.3% to 5.2%.

Speaker #1: While EBITDA increased by 15.5% to R4.16 billion, depreciation and amortization increased by 3.5%, broadly in line with the growth in the group's asset base.

Speaker #1: Operating profit increased by 26.6% to R2.37 billion, with the operating margin improving from 4.3% to 5.2%. Net finance costs decreased slightly to R604 million.

Colin Brown: Net finance costs decreased slightly to ZAR 604 million. The effective tax rate was 27.7%, broadly in line with the normalized effective tax rate for the continuing operations.

Speaker #1: Property, plant, and equipment has increased by 4.8%, mainly due to capital expenditure on supply chain vehicles, warehouses, and pallets. Lease portfolio assets increased by 87.3%. This includes R1.2 billion relating to assets acquired as part of the Dig acquisition, together with fleet replacement activity within Fleet Africa.

Colin Brown: Property, plant, and equipment has increased by 4.8%, mainly due to capital expenditure on supply chain vehicles, warehouses, and pallets. Lease portfolio assets increased by 87.3%. This includes ZAR 1.2 billion relating to assets acquired as part of the DIG acquisition, together with fleet replacement activity within FleetAfrica. Goodwill and intangible assets declined to ZAR 3.19 billion, primarily due to the classification of AMCO as held for sale and the strengthening of the rand since the prior year end. The acquisitions completed during the year resulted in additional goodwill of ZAR 36.5 million. Turning to equity and liabilities. Lease portfolio borrowings almost doubled, reflecting fleet replacement activity within FleetAfrica and the inclusion of borrowings relating to the DIG acquisition. Interest-bearing borrowings comprise asset-based borrowings, mortgage facilities, corporate bond notes, and other unsecured borrowings.

Colin Brown: The increase in non-controlling interest put option liabilities mainly relates to the put option of the 30% NCI in the DIG Group. The increase in trade and other payables was broadly in line with the increases in receivables and inventories. Net gearing, excluding ROU lease liabilities, increased from 20.6% to 27.4%, reflecting capital expenditure during the year and the impact of consolidating the DIG Group. Turning to slide 21. The statement of cash flows includes the cash flows from both continuing and discontinued operations. The amounts are not directly comparable with the prior year, as the prior year figures included 10 months of cash flows from SG Fleet. Operating cash flow before working capital movements in the current year was ZAR 4.3 billion, with net working capital outflow of ZAR 96.3 million.

Net additions to property, plant, and equipment related mainly to supply chain vehicles, warehouses, and pallets. Continuing with the remainder of the cash flow statement, the group repurchased and canceled just over 1 million shares during the year at an average price of ZAR 13.12 per share. Borrowings raised during the year included new term loan facilities for the pallet business and for refrigeration equipment at new warehouses within the supply chain consumer businesses. The group ended the year with cash and cash equivalents of ZAR 5.5 billion, maintaining a strong liquidity position. We have included an additional slide on the calculation of free cash flow for the group.

Colin Brown: We have included an additional slide on the calculation of free cash flow for the group. The calculation starts with net cash generated from operating activities of ZAR 2.44 billion, as reflected in the cash flow statement. As mentioned earlier, this amount includes ZAR 223.7 million of expansionary CapEx within the lease portfolio working capital outflow. To separate maintenance and expansionary CapEx, we have therefore moved this amount below the first subtotal.

To separate maintenance and expansionary CapEx, we have therefore moved this amount below the first subtotal. Net maintenance CapEx amounted to ZAR 877 million and related mainly to vehicles within supply chain. Free cash flow before expansionary CapEx was ZAR 1.79 billion for the current year. Expansionary CapEx related to new warehouses, dealership properties, vehicles, and pallets, together with the ZAR 223.7 million mentioned earlier. Overall, the group generated free cash flow after expansionary CapEx of ZAR 399 million for the year. Thank you. I'll now hand back to Peter, who will take you through the group's prospects.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Colin. Concluding with the prospects for the financial year to June 2027, the Group is well positioned to deliver improved earnings in the forthcoming financial year, despite the prevailing challenging trading conditions across Southern Africa and Europe.

Peter Mountford: Thank you, Colin. Concluding with the prospects for the financial year to June 2027. Group is well-positioned to deliver improved earnings in the forthcoming financial year, despite the prevailing challenging trading conditions across Southern Africa and Europe. The consumer supply chain and fleet lease businesses are expected to perform strongly, supported by the ongoing onboarding of new customers and the expansion of service offerings. The South African dealership operations are expected to sustain their strong performance, with revenue growth driven by the continued expansion of the group's portfolio of emerging brands. In the UK, the benefits of realigning the dealership brand representation and the reduced operational cost base established will continue supporting an improved earnings performance. Super Group remains focused on capitalizing on high-growth, organic, and strategic opportunities while responding effectively to macroeconomic volatility.

The Group continues to build scalable, high-performing operations across all three divisions, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable, long-term value creation for all shareholders.

Peter Mountford: The group continues to build scalable, high-performing operations across all three divisions, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable long-term value creation for all shareholders. In closing, I'd like to thank you on behalf of both Colin Brown and myself for your attendance at this webcast. We invite you to put forward any questions arising from the presentation or related financial reports. Thank you. We do have some questions. I'll read the questions and run through the answers in conjunction with Colin Brown. The first question is Anton van Niekerk of Old Mutual. "Please can you speak to the revenue and EBITDA contribution of DIG for the 4 months of the year?" I just want to emphasize that obviously, DIG is a yellow equipment leasing business, so depreciation is a big number and obviously finance costs are a big number.

Speaker #2: Thank you. We do have some questions. I'll read the questions and run through the answers in conjunction with Colin Brown. So, the first question is from Anton van Niekerk of Mutual.

Peter Mountford: Thank you. We do have some questions. I'll read the questions and run through the answers in conjunction with Colin Brown. The first question is Anton van Niekerk of Old Mutual. "Please can you speak to the revenue and EBITDA contribution of DIG for the 4 months of the year?" I just want to emphasize that obviously, DIG is a yellow equipment leasing business, so depreciation is a big number and obviously finance costs are a big number. If you're comfortable with that, I'd like to focus on revenue, operating profit, and PBT.

Speaker #2: Could you please speak to the revenue and EBITDA contribution of Dig for the four months of the year? I just want to emphasize that, obviously, Dig is a yellow equipment leasing business, so depreciation is a big number, and, obviously, finance costs are a big number.

Speaker #2: So if you're comfortable with that, I'd like to focus on revenue, operating profit, and PBT. The revenue for the four months was R272 million, the operating profit or EBIT was R104 million, and the PBT was R89 million for the four-month period.

Peter Mountford: If you're comfortable with that, I'd like to focus on revenue, operating profit, and PBT. The revenue for the 4 months was ZAR 272 million. The operating profit or EBIT was ZAR 104 million, and the PBT was ZAR 89 million for the 4-month period. The second question is Rowan Guler, Cronix. "What was the reason for the increase in copper and coal volumes and the Ader turnaround?" The reason for the increase in the copper and coal volumes was exports. In the case of copper, improved volumes through the Durban port, and in the case of coal, improved export volumes through Maputo. It was purely export-based. In the case of Ader, we had good volume growth in the home delivery as well as the industrial segments in that business. We also have the benefit of the cost optimization that has taken place across that business.

The reason for the increase in the copper and coal volumes was exports. In the case of copper, improved volumes through the Durban port, and in the case of coal, improved export volumes through Maputo.

Speaker #2: The second question is from Rowan Gulla, Kronex. What was the reason for the increase in copper and coal volumes, and the ADA turnaround? The reason for the increase in copper and coal volumes was exports—in the case of copper, improved volumes through the Durban Port; and in the case of coal, improved export volumes through Maputo.

Speaker #2: So, it was purely export-based. In the case of ADA, we had good volume growth in the home delivery as well as the industrial segments in that business, but we also had the benefit of the cost optimization that has taken place across that business.

Peter Mountford: It was purely export-based. In the case of Ader, we had good volume growth in the home delivery as well as the industrial segments in that business. We also have the benefit of the cost optimization that has taken place across that business. Matthew Roberts, Blue Quadrant. How do rising diesel costs impact the logistics side of the business? Is it different for the commodity consumer industrial clients?

Speaker #2: Matthew Roberts, Blue Quadrant. How do rising diesel costs impact the logistics side of the business? Is it different for the commodity, consumer, and industrial clients?

Peter Mountford: Matthew Roberts, Blue Quadrant. How do rising diesel costs impact the logistics side of the business? Is it different for the commodity consumer industrial clients? Essentially, can you provide some color on the extent of pass-through mechanics, if they exist, and the differences therein for the divisions to the extent you can? Matthew, in terms of the industry, in general terms, logistics business or supply chain businesses are holding stock on a consignment basis, and they are doing a procurement, warehousing, and distribution, and often debtor collection service for their clients. In conformity with the industry, all of those businesses have preordained escalation formulas built into their contracts. I'm going to talk to the one exception shortly. In all of our businesses, whether it be consumer, commodity, industrial, we have contractual mechanisms to pass through fuel price increases on a monthly basis.

Speaker #2: Essentially, can you provide some color on the extent of pass-through mechanics, if they exist? And, to the extent you can, the differences therein for the divisions.

Peter Mountford: Essentially, can you provide some color on the extent of pass-through mechanics, if they exist, and the differences therein for the divisions to the extent you can?

In conformity with the industry, all of those businesses have preordained escalation formulas built into their contracts.

Speaker #2: So, Matthew, in terms of the industry—in general terms—logistics businesses or supply chain businesses are holding stock on a consignment basis, and they are doing procurement, warehousing, and distribution, and often data collection services for their clients.

Speaker #2: And in conformity with the industry, all of those businesses have pre-ordained escalation formulas built into their contracts. I'm going to talk to the one exception shortly.

Peter Mountford: I'm going to talk to the one exception shortly. In all of our businesses, whether it be consumer, commodity, industrial, we have contractual mechanisms to pass through fuel price increases on a monthly basis. When you look at, you can see the margins in the supply chain business are around 6.5%. You know how much diesel has moved, and diesel is nearly 55% of the cost of a truck today. You have to have that capability of passing through the price increases monthly.

Speaker #2: So, in all of our businesses, whether it be consumer, commodity, or industrial, we have contractual mechanisms to pass through fuel price increases on a monthly basis.

Speaker #2: And when you look at it, you can see the margins in the supply chain business are around 6.5%. You know how much diesel has moved, and diesel's nearly 55% of the cost of a truck today.

Peter Mountford: When you look at, you can see the margins in the supply chain business are around 6.5%. You know how much diesel has moved, and diesel is nearly 55% of the cost of a truck today. You have to have that capability of passing through the price increases monthly. The only negative is there is a one-month lag, and that does cost about ZAR 45 million, the one-month lag to recover that price. The one business that is an outlier in this regard is SG Convenience. That is a business that purchases stock from principals and sells it into the bottom-end retail garage forecourt, corner spaza, cafe type environment. There, we are buying stock, and we are selling at a recommended retail price. The principal set that price.

Speaker #2: So you have to have that capability of passing through the price increases monthly. The only negative is there's a one-month lag, and that did cost.

Peter Mountford: The only negative is there is a one-month lag, and that does cost about ZAR 45 million, the one-month lag to recover that price. The one business that is an outlier in this regard is SG Convenience. That is a business that purchases stock from principals and sells it into the bottom-end retail garage forecourt, corner spaza, cafe type environment. There, we are buying stock, and we are selling at a recommended retail price. The principal set that price.

Speaker #2: That does cost about 45 million rand. There is a one-month lag to recover that price. The one business that is an outlier in this regard is SG Convenience.

Speaker #2: That is a business that purchases stock from principals and sells it into the bottom-end retail garage, for a corner spaza café-type environment. There, we're buying stock and we're selling at a recommended retail price.

Speaker #2: So the principals set that price. So, there is a negotiation to recover cost prices linked to diesel, and sometimes that requires the underlying principals to look at potential amendments of price.

Peter Mountford: There, there is a negotiation to recover cost prices linked to diesel, and sometimes that requires the underlying principles to look at potential amendments of price, if it were a very significant amount. That is the only business that does not have an industry norm of an automated diesel price adjustment monthly. Thabo Mbatha, Bateleur. "Congratulations on a strong set of results." Thanks, Thabo. "Quick question on the fleet solutions business. FleetAfrica performance was supported by significant vehicle replacement activity during the period. Can we expect the same or similar kind of activity and benefit to come through in the next period?" No, Thabo, we had a particularly high rotation going through on a number of our major contracts. I think that the vehicle rotation will be a lot lower.

Peter Mountford: There, there is a negotiation to recover cost prices linked to diesel, and sometimes that requires the underlying principles to look at potential amendments of price, if it were a very significant amount. That is the only business that does not have an industry norm of an automated diesel price adjustment monthly. Thabo Mbatha, Bateleur. "Congratulations on a strong set of results." Thanks, Thabo. "Quick question on the fleet solutions business.

Speaker #2: If it were a very significant amount. That is the only business that doesn't have an industry norm of an automated diesel price adjustment monthly.

Speaker #2: Tobin Barter, Batelier. Congratulations on a strong set of results. Thanks, Tobin. Quick question on the Fleet Solutions business. Fleet Africa’s performance was supported by significant vehicle replacement activity during the period.

Peter Mountford: FleetAfrica performance was supported by significant vehicle replacement activity during the period. Can we expect the same or similar kind of activity and benefit to come through in the next period?" No, Thabo, we had a particularly high rotation going through on a number of our major contracts. I think that the vehicle rotation will be a lot lower. It will be 40% to 50% lower in terms of new investment into that fleet in the business, subject to not getting a big new contract. Obviously, that could change things dramatically.

Speaker #2: Can we expect the same or similar kind of activity and benefit to come through in the next period? No, Tobin, we had a particularly high rotation going through on a number of our major contracts.

Speaker #2: So I think that the vehicle rotation will be a lot lower. It'll be 40% to 50% lower in terms of new investment into that fleet in the business.

Peter Mountford: It will be 40% to 50% lower in terms of new investment into that fleet in the business, subject to not getting a big new contract. Obviously, that could change things dramatically. Anton van Niekerk, Old Mutual. "What is the total CapEx budget for DIG over the next three years? How much of the ZAR 1.92 billion authorized CapEx relates to DIG versus organic?" Okay. DIG, the budget for the forthcoming year, in relation to DIG is ZAR 240 million. However, only ZAR 60 million of that is organic growth, and we have picked up some additional contracts in that business that come into being in the forthcoming financial year. I am not going to go into the two years after 2027 because that is very much dependent on potential new business, but the organic CapEx is around ZAR 60 to 70 million a year. Murang Murugi of NorthStar. "Dealerships SA.

Speaker #2: Subject: Not getting a big new contract. Obviously, that could change things dramatically. Anton van Niekerk, Old Mutual. What is the total capex budget for the Dig over the next three years?

Peter Mountford: Anton van Niekerk, Old Mutual. "What is the total CapEx budget for DIG over the next three years? How much of the ZAR 1.92 billion authorized CapEx relates to DIG versus organic?" Okay. DIG, the budget for the forthcoming year, in relation to DIG is ZAR 240 million. However, only ZAR 60 million of that is organic growth, and we have picked up some additional contracts in that business that come into being in the forthcoming financial year.

Speaker #2: And how much of the R1.92 billion authorized capex relates to Dig versus organic? Okay, so Dig, the budget for the forthcoming year in relation to Dig, is R240 million.

Speaker #2: However, only 60 million rand of that is organic growth, and we have picked up some additional contracts in that business that will come into effect in the forthcoming financial year.

Speaker #2: I'm not going to go into the two years after 2027, because that is very much dependent on potential new business. But the organic sort of capex is around 60 to 70 million rand a year.

Peter Mountford: I am not going to go into the two years after 2027 because that is very much dependent on potential new business, but the organic CapEx is around ZAR 60 to 70 million a year. Murang Murugi of NorthStar. "Dealerships SA. What is the outlook on the price deflation in new and used vehicles? The mix effect of lower priced vehicles appears to be the dominant driver, but what underlying price movement are you seeing?" At this stage, we are seeing price stability in that market. You are absolutely right.

Speaker #2: Marang Marudi of North Star Dealerships SA. What is the outlook on price deflation in new and used vehicles? The mix effect of lower-priced vehicles appears to be the dominant driver.

Peter Mountford: What is the outlook on the price deflation in new and used vehicles? The mix effect of lower priced vehicles appears to be the dominant driver, but what underlying price movement are you seeing?" At this stage, we are seeing price stability in that market. You are absolutely right. When you look at the sales volumes growth in South African dealerships, clearly there is a mix impact. The imported, the new Chinese and Indian brands are at a much lower price point. That is obviously relevant to the overall revenue number. We are seeing price stability at the moment. We are not seeing a significant decline in prices in that sector at this stage. Thabo Mbatha, Bateleur. "Dealerships, there are 31 sites representing the emerging Chinese and Indian brands. Brand new sites, or were they existing operations converted?

Speaker #2: But what underlying price movement are you seeing? At this stage, we're seeing price stability in that market. You're absolutely right. And when you look at the sales volumes' growth in South African dealerships, clearly there's a mixed impact.

Peter Mountford: When you look at the sales volumes growth in South African dealerships, clearly there is a mix impact. The imported, the new Chinese and Indian brands are at a much lower price point. That is obviously relevant to the overall revenue number. We are seeing price stability at the moment. We are not seeing a significant decline in prices in that sector at this stage. Thabo Mbatha, Bateleur. "Dealerships, there are 31 sites representing the emerging Chinese and Indian brands. Brand new sites, or were they existing operations converted?

Speaker #2: So, the imported new sort of Chinese and Indian brands are at a much lower price point, and that is obviously relevant to the overall revenue number.

Speaker #2: We're seeing price stability at the moment. We're not seeing a significant decline in prices in that sector at this stage. Tobin Barter, Batelier. Dealerships: there are 31 sites representing the emerging Chinese and Indian brands.

Speaker #2: Were these brand new sites, or were they existing operations that were converted? If they're existing operations, what is the incremental return you're seeing from this pivot toward emerging brands?

Peter Mountford: If they are existing operations, what is the incremental return that you are seeing from this pivot towards emerging brands? They are primarily existing sites where we followed a multi-branded philosophy. There are a few exceptions, but I think there are only three dedicated sites. I think that 28 are the expansion of the brand positioning on existing sites. The return, you have seen the type of sales performance that has arisen from those brands. You have seen the type of volume increase from those brands. So, we expect the growth to remain strong in the forthcoming year. We expect the representation of these brands in relation to our total sales to move to potentially 50%, over 50%. We expect the returns in terms of operating profit percentage of sales to remain static around 3.5%. Richard Cheesman, Urquhart Partners.

Peter Mountford: If they are existing operations, what is the incremental return that you are seeing from this pivot towards emerging brands?

You have seen the type of volume increase from those brands.

Speaker #2: They are primarily existing sites, where we followed a multi-branded philosophy. There are a few exceptions, but I think there are only three dedicated sites.

Speaker #2: So I think that 28 are the expansion of the brand positioning on existing sites. And the return—you've seen the type of sales performance that has arisen from those brands.

Speaker #2: You've seen the type of volume increase from those brands, so we expect the growth to remain strong in the forthcoming year. We expect the representation of these brands in relation to our total sales to move to potentially 50%, or even over 50%.

Peter Mountford: So, we expect the growth to remain strong in the forthcoming year. We expect the representation of these brands in relation to our total sales to move to potentially 50%, over 50%. We expect the returns in terms of operating profit percentage of sales to remain static around 3.5%. Richard Cheesman, Urquhart Partners.

Speaker #2: And we expect the returns, in terms of operating profit as a percentage of sales, to remain static around 3.5%. Richard Cheeseman, Urquhart Partners. Richard talks about retirement and what sort of succession planning is in place.

Peter Mountford: Richard talks about retirement and what sort of succession planning is in place. Richard, I have committed in terms of myself to stay with the group for another four years, and that is a commitment I have given to some of our shareholders and certainly to our board. We do have good succession planning throughout the group, strong succession planning in supply chain, good succession planning in the fleet businesses and in DIG, and strong succession planning in the South African dealerships, and UK dealerships as well. Matthew Roberts, Blue Quadrant Capital Management. What are we thinking for CapEx in FY27 and FY28, split by maintenance and expansion? Is this indicative of what normal maintenance CapEx will look like going forward? I will let Colin answer that, please.

Speaker #2: So, Richard, I've committed myself to stay with the group for another four years, and that's a commitment I've given to some of our shareholders and certainly to our board.

Speaker #2: We do have good succession planning throughout the group—strong succession planning and supply chain, good succession planning in the fleet businesses and in Dig, and strong succession planning in the South African dealerships and UK dealerships as well.

Peter Mountford: Matthew Roberts, Blue Quadrant Capital Management. What are we thinking for CapEx in FY27 and FY28, split by maintenance and expansion? Is this indicative of what normal maintenance CapEx will look like going forward? I will let Colin answer that, please.

Speaker #1: Matthew Roberts, Blue Quadrant Capital Management. What are we thinking for capex in FY27 and FY28, split by maintenance and expansion? Is this indicative of what normal maintenance capex will look like going forward?

Speaker #1: I'll let Colin answer that, please.

Speaker #3: Sure. So we expect our capex to be around R1.9 billion for the 2027 year. And you can take inflationary or sales growth expectations beyond that.

Colin Brown: Sure. So, we expect our CapEx to be around ZAR 1.9 billion for 2027 year, and you can take inflationary or sales growth expectations beyond that, and about half of that is maintenance, and the other half is expansionary CapEx, and that is for property, plant, and equipment. We discussed the fleet assets earlier, which goes under the working capital line, as you have seen in the cash flow statement.

Colin Brown: Sure. So, we expect our CapEx to be around ZAR 1.9 billion for 2027 year, and you can take inflationary or sales growth expectations beyond that, and about half of that is maintenance, and the other half is expansionary CapEx, and that is for property, plant, and equipment.

Speaker #1: Anton van Niekerk, Old Mutual. What are your return on investment targets for Dig to justify the investment? What has been the key integration factor within the business during the first four months?

Peter Mountford: Anton van Niekerk, Old Mutual. What are your return on investment targets for DIG to justify the investment? What has been the key integration factor within the business during the first four months? The return on investment targets are close to 24%, and the integration process has been primarily around financial information technology, corporate service type activities at this point in time, because the business is very differently positioned to FleetAfrica, which is dealing in motor vehicles and trucks as opposed to yellow equipment and plant type business. Jan Andre Petzer. What operating profit level do you expect for the UK dealerships going forward? I will let you answer that, Colin. Similar to the H2 run rate.

Peter Mountford: Anton van Niekerk, Old Mutual. What are your return on investment targets for DIG to justify the investment? What has been the key integration factor within the business during the first four months?

Speaker #1: The return on investment targets are close to 24%. And the integration process has been primarily around financial, information technology, and corporate service-type activities at this point in time, because the business is very differently positioned to Fleet Africa, which is dealing in motor vehicles and trucks, as opposed to yellow equipment and plant-type business.

Peter Mountford: The return on investment targets are close to 24%, and the integration process has been primarily around financial information technology, corporate service type activities at this point in time, because the business is very differently positioned to FleetAfrica, which is dealing in motor vehicles and trucks as opposed to yellow equipment and plant type business. Jan Andre Petzer. What operating profit level do you expect for the UK dealerships going forward? I will let you answer that, Colin. Similar to the H2 run rate.

Speaker #1: Yan Jandre Petersen: What operating profit level do you expect for the UK dealerships going forward? Colin: You answer that, Colin. Similar to the H2 run rate.

Speaker #3: So, one must bear in mind that the second half of the financial year is at a much higher margin because of the change in number plates in March.

Colin Brown: So one must bear in mind that the H2 of the financial year is a much higher margin because of the change in number plates in March. The H1 was a lower margin overall, being a 1.8% margin, and I think we will improve slightly on that going forward.

Colin Brown: So one must bear in mind that the H2 of the financial year is a much higher margin because of the change in number plates in March. The H1 was a lower margin overall, being a 1.8% margin, and I think we will improve slightly on that going forward.

Speaker #3: So, the first half was a lower margin overall, being a 1.8% margin. And I think we will improve slightly on that going forward.

Speaker #1: Stuart Hyde, Klugers Grey. Could you provide any color on management in organic growth and their mergers and acquisition strategy? Stuart, at the moment, we've got quite high growth in many of our businesses on the supply chain side of things.

Peter Mountford: Stuart Hyde, ClucasGray. Could you provide any color on management's inorganic growth and their mergers and acquisition strategy? Stuart, at the moment, we have got quite high growth in many of our businesses. On the supply chain side of things, we have increased our market share in both the convenience and the consumer businesses. We have also seen we established that pallet business, and at this point in time, we have got 2.5 million pallets in the market. So we have got quite significant market share in the pallet business. So high organic growth across the supply chain businesses. The same applies within DIG in the fleet lease business. FleetAfrica, the organic growth level is low because there has been virtually no new business coming out of the state and parastatal environment at all.

Stuart, at the moment, we have got quite high growth in many of our businesses. On the supply chain side of things, we have increased our market share in both the convenience and the consumer businesses. We have also seen we established that pallet business, and at this point in time, we have got 2.5 million pallets in the market. So we have got quite significant market share in the pallet business.

Speaker #1: We've increased our market share in both the convenience and the consumer segments since we established that pallet business. At this point in time, we've got 2.5 million pallets in the market.

Speaker #1: So we've got quite significant market share in the pallet business, so high organic growth across the supply chain businesses. And the same applies within Dig and the fleet lease business.

Peter Mountford: So high organic growth across the supply chain businesses. The same applies within DIG in the fleet lease business. FleetAfrica, the organic growth level is low because there has been virtually no new business coming out of the state and parastatal environment at all. That is obviously our challenge, is to try and grow FleetAfrica, and that depends on contracts. You have seen an inordinate number of municipal and parastatal contracts being rolled over or being delayed, and certainly those fleets are aging.

Speaker #1: Fleet Africa: The organic growth level is low because there's been virtually no new business coming out of the state and parastatal environment at all.

Speaker #1: And that's obviously our challenge is to try and grow Fleet Africa and that depends on contracts. You've seen in order a number of sort of municipal and parastatal contracts being rolled over and/or being delayed.

Peter Mountford: That is obviously our challenge, is to try and grow FleetAfrica, and that depends on contracts. You have seen an inordinate number of municipal and parastatal contracts being rolled over or being delayed, and certainly those fleets are aging. So, that organic growth is very much our target in the fleet lease businesses as well. In dealerships, the same situation as we continue to roll out more of the Chinese and Indian brands. Our primary growth is organic. So looking forward into the next year, it is primarily organic growth. Mergers and acquisition strategy. We will look at niches that provide high growth, complementary activities, and good operating margins within primarily the Southern African supply chain space. But I do not perceive, the world always can vary, do not perceive a significant mergers and acquisitions process or activity in the forthcoming year. Zaid Baruch, WealthVest Investment Management.

Speaker #1: And certainly, those fleets are aging. So that organic growth is very much our target in the fleet lease businesses as well. In dealerships, it's the same situation as we continue to roll out more of the Chinese and Indian brands.

So looking forward into the next year, it is primarily organic growth. Mergers and acquisition strategy. We will look at niches that provide high growth, complementary activities, and good operating margins within primarily the Southern African supply chain space.

Speaker #1: Our primary growth is organic. So, looking forward into the next year, it is primarily organic growth. Regarding our mergers and acquisitions strategy, we will look at niches that provide high-growth, complementary activities and good operating margins, primarily within the Southern African supply chain space.

Speaker #1: But I do not perceive the world's always can vary. I do not perceive a significant mergers and acquisitions process or activity in the forthcoming year.

Peter Mountford: But I do not perceive, the world always can vary, do not perceive a significant mergers and acquisitions process or activity in the forthcoming year. Zaid Baruch, WealthVest Investment Management. Well done on the great results. Thanks, Zaid. How do you think about capital allocation, given the group's strong balance sheet, mergers and acquisitions versus dividends versus share buybacks? Thank you, Zaid, and a very relevant question. So I think I have answered the mergers and acquisitions.

Speaker #1: Zayd Farooq, WealthVest Investment Management. Well done on the great results. Thanks, Zayd. How do you think about capital allocation, given the group's strong balance sheet?

Peter Mountford: Well done on the great results. Thanks, Zaid. How do you think about capital allocation, given the group's strong balance sheet, mergers and acquisitions versus dividends versus share buybacks? Thank you, Zaid, and a very relevant question. So I think I have answered the mergers and acquisitions. The dividend, obviously, we have continued with a six times cover at a ZAR 0.55 dividend. The number we understand best and the value we understand best, of course, is Super Group at the moment. In our opinion, the share is undervalued. So I think you can expect us to proceed with share buybacks over the next while. Richard Cheesman, Urquhart Partners, congratulations on the results. Thanks, Richard. Following the significant, sorry, it is just jumping. Following the significant simplification of the group and reduction in gearing, could you talk about the merits of Super Group remaining listed in its current form?

Speaker #1: Mergers and acquisitions versus dividends versus share buybacks. Thank you, Zayd, and a very relevant question. So, I think I've answered the mergers and acquisitions.

Speaker #1: The dividend, obviously, we've continued with a six-times cover at a $0.55 dividend. The number we understand best, and the value we understand best, of course, is Super Group at the moment.

Peter Mountford: The dividend, obviously, we have continued with a six times cover at a ZAR 0.55 dividend. The number we understand best and the value we understand best, of course, is Super Group at the moment. In our opinion, the share is undervalued. So I think you can expect us to proceed with share buybacks over the next while. Richard Cheesman, Urquhart Partners, congratulations on the results.

Speaker #1: And in our opinion, the share is undervalued. So I think you can expect us to proceed with share buybacks over the next while. Richard Teasman, ERCOT, congratulations on the results.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Richard. Following the significance—sorry, it's just jumping. Following the significance, simplification of the group, and reduction in gearing, could you talk about the merits of Super Group remaining listed in its current form?

Peter Mountford: Thanks, Richard. Following the significant, sorry, it is just jumping. Following the significant simplification of the group and reduction in gearing, could you talk about the merits of Super Group remaining listed in its current form? We have seen considerable foreign interest in South African logistics assets while Super Group continues to trade at a relatively modest valuation. How does the board think about the optimal ownership structure from here?

Speaker #1: We have seen considerable foreign interest in South African logistics assets, while Super Group continues to trade at a relatively modest valuation. How does the Board think about the optimal ownership structure from here?

Peter Mountford: We have seen considerable foreign interest in South African logistics assets while Super Group continues to trade at a relatively modest valuation. How does the board think about the optimal ownership structure from here? Richard, we had a really good look at this a year ago, from our perspective, my perspective, and the executives' perspective as well as the board, because certainly with Super Group, a year back, trading after the dividend of ZAR 16.50, we are trading around ZAR 12.50, and that might well have been a very interesting time for a management buyout, arguably, or even an acquisition. What we presented to the board, and I think we've indicated in it, is that we would have been selling our shareholders short. We could see the runway of the forthcoming year that's just been reported, forthcoming year, a year ago.

Speaker #1: Richard, we had a really good look at this a year ago from our perspective—my perspective, the executive's perspective, as well as the board's.

Peter Mountford: Richard, we had a really good look at this a year ago, from our perspective, my perspective, and the executives' perspective as well as the board, because certainly with Super Group, a year back, trading after the dividend of ZAR 16.50, we are trading around ZAR 12.50, and that might well have been a very interesting time for a management buyout, arguably, or even an acquisition. What we presented to the board, and I think we've indicated in it, is that we would have been selling our shareholders short.

Speaker #1: Because, certainly, with Super Group a year back, trading after the dividend of R16.50, we were trading around R12.50. And that might well have been a very interesting time for a management buyout, arguably, or even an acquisition.

Speaker #1: And what we presented to the Board, and I think we've indicated in it, is that we would have been selling our shares as short.

Speaker #1: We could see the runway of the forthcoming year that's just been reported—forthcoming year, a year ago. And we were of the view that, with this performance and performance looking forward, our shareholders had a reasonable expectation of share value in the mid-20s.

Peter Mountford: We could see the runway of the forthcoming year that's just been reported, forthcoming year, a year ago. We're of the view that with this performance and performance looking forward, that our shareholders had a reasonable expectation of share value in the mid-20s. Even a 50% premium on ZAR 12.50 or ZAR 13 at the time would have been inadequate and would have sold our shareholders short.

Peter Mountford: We're of the view that with this performance and performance looking forward, that our shareholders had a reasonable expectation of share value in the mid-20s. Even a 50% premium on ZAR 12.50 or ZAR 13 at the time would have been inadequate and would have sold our shareholders short. So the decision was taken that we would move to the next iteration of Super Group, continue in the current listed form, continue to try and grow the business as we have over the last 17 years, and try and add more value to shareholders that way than a one-off, which would have really sold them short, I believe, a year ago. On the automotive side, do you see scope for further consolidation of corporate activity? There are interesting assets in the car rental space, which would seem to have some strategic fit.

Speaker #1: And at that, even a 50% premium on 12 rand 50 or 13 rand at the time would have been inadequate and would have sold our shareholders short.

Speaker #1: So the decision was taken that we would move to the next iteration of Super Group, continue in the current listed form, continue to try and grow the business as we have over the last 17 years, and try to add more value to shareholders that way.

Peter Mountford: So the decision was taken that we would move to the next iteration of Super Group, continue in the current listed form, continue to try and grow the business as we have over the last 17 years, and try and add more value to shareholders that way than a one-off, which would have really sold them short, I believe, a year ago.

Speaker #1: And a one-off, which would have really sold them short, I believe, a year ago. And on the automotive side, do you see scope for further consolidation or corporate activity?

Speaker #1: There are interesting assets in the car rental space, which would seem to have some strategic fit. What would you need for an acquisition in this area to make sense?

Peter Mountford: What would you need for an acquisition there in this area to make sense? We do think there's going to be corporate activity in the medium term, across potentially some of the larger automotive retail groups. We do think the car rental space is interesting. Some of that is very much tied up to larger automotive retail groups. But certainly car rental would make a strategic fit. I don't see an acquisition in that area in the short term. But I think in the medium term, there is a need for a home, potentially, for one or two retail groups. Chandre Pieterse, expected net finance costs for the year ahead, Colin?

Peter Mountford: What would you need for an acquisition there in this area to make sense? We do think there's going to be corporate activity in the medium term, across potentially some of the larger automotive retail groups. We do think the car rental space is interesting. Some of that is very much tied up to larger automotive retail groups. But certainly car rental would make a strategic fit. I don't see an acquisition in that area in the short term.

Speaker #1: We do think there’s going to be corporate activity in the medium term, across potentially some of the larger automotive retail groups. We do think the car rental space is interesting.

Speaker #1: Some of that is very much tied up to larger automotive retail groups, but certainly car rental would make a strategic fit. I don't see an acquisition in that area in the short term.

Speaker #1: But I think in the medium term, there is a need for a home, potentially, for one or two retail groups. Jean-André Petersen, expected net finance costs for the year ahead? Colin?

Peter Mountford: But I think in the medium term, there is a need for a home, potentially, for one or two retail groups. Chandre Pieterse, expected net finance costs for the year ahead, Colin?

Speaker #2: So our expectations are around 780 million rand, but that includes RAU interest of 140.

Colin Brown: Our expectation is around ZAR 780 million, but that includes our Amco interest of ZAR 140.

Colin Brown: Our expectation is around ZAR 780 million, but that includes our Amco interest of ZAR 140.

Speaker #1: Okay, thank you. And then there's a question from Jan Mouton at PSG. Super Group is trading at more than a 50% discount to net asset value.

Peter Mountford: Okay, thank you. There is a question from Jan Mouton, PSG. "Super Group is trading at more than a 50% discount to net asset value and about a five PE. Why did management only buy back an insignificant 1 million shares, an upcoming 3% of shares in issue?" Jan, look, there has been quite a few times in the year that essentially we were in a closed period in that we were dealing with transactions or potential transactions. Quite honestly, we cannot lead the market, so we found ourselves in the period that the share grew from ZAR 13 upwards, slightly behind the market. But certainly, as I said earlier, you could expect us to be more active in share buybacks in the immediate future. All right. The next one is, "Consumer supply chain and fleet lease prospects.

Peter Mountford: Okay, thank you. There is a question from Jan Mouton, PSG. "Super Group is trading at more than a 50% discount to net asset value and about a five PE. Why did management only buy back an insignificant 1 million shares, an upcoming 3% of shares in issue?" Jan, look, there has been quite a few times in the year that essentially we were in a closed period in that we were dealing with transactions or potential transactions.

Speaker #1: And about a 5 P/E. Why did management only buy back an insignificant 1 million shares, 0.3% of shares in issue? Jan, yeah, look, there have been quite a few times in the year that, essentially, we were in a closed period in that we were dealing with transactions or potential transactions.

Speaker #1: And then, quite honestly, we can't lead the market. So, we found ourselves in the period when the share grew from 13 rand upwards, slightly behind the market.

Peter Mountford: Quite honestly, we cannot lead the market, so we found ourselves in the period that the share grew from ZAR 13 upwards, slightly behind the market. But certainly, as I said earlier, you could expect us to be more active in share buybacks in the immediate future. All right. The next one is, "Consumer supply chain and fleet lease prospects. Can you speak to the onboarding of new customers that is expected to drive growth? Is this underpinned by existing agreements? How much visibility do you have on these prospects?"

Speaker #1: But certainly, as I said earlier, you could expect us to be more active in share buybacks in the immediate future. All right. And then, consumer suppliers.

Speaker #1: So the next one is consumer supply chain and fleet lease prospects. Can you speak to the onboarding of new customers that is expected to drive growth?

Peter Mountford: Can you speak to the onboarding of new customers that is expected to drive growth? Is this underpinned by existing agreements? How much visibility do you have on these prospects?" New customers, as I said to you, let us start in fleet lease. Very little in terms of new customers. We had a big rotation of fleet in our existing customer. I answered earlier that is not going to go into the forthcoming year. So fleet lease, in terms of FleetAfrica, there is not a potential high growth in customers this year. DIG, certainly, there are a number of contracts that we have finalized and some potential new contracts that come through in this year. Consumer supply chain business has picked up some additional contracts that are already contracted and contributed various from eight to six months to the current financial year, and they will continue into the next year.

Speaker #1: Is this underpinned by existing agreements? How much visibility do you have on these prospects? Yeah, new customers—as I said to you, let's start in fleet lease.

Peter Mountford: New customers, as I said to you, let us start in fleet lease. Very little in terms of new customers. We had a big rotation of fleet in our existing customer. I answered earlier that is not going to go into the forthcoming year. So fleet lease, in terms of FleetAfrica, there is not a potential high growth in customers this year. DIG, certainly, there are a number of contracts that we have finalized and some potential new contracts that come through in this year.

Speaker #1: Very little in terms of new customers. We had a big rotation of fleets in our existing customer base. I answered earlier that it's not going to go into the forthcoming year.

Speaker #1: So, fleet lease in terms of Fleet Africa, there's not a potential for high growth in customers this year. Dig, certainly there are a number of contracts that we've finalized and some potential new contracts that could come through this year.

Speaker #1: The consumer supply chain business has picked up some additional contracts that are already contracted and contributed variously from 6 to 8 months to the current financial year.

Peter Mountford: Consumer supply chain business has picked up some additional contracts that are already contracted and contributed various from eight to six months to the current financial year, and they will continue into the next year. Will you be looking to expand your number of dealerships in SA and UK, given the strong numbers from the Asian brands?" We would always look at opportunities for the Asian brands in South Africa. In the UK, the strategy has been to move our dealerships to a multi-branded philosophy.

Speaker #1: And they will continue into next year. Will you be looking to expand your number of dealerships in SA and the UK, given the strong numbers from the Asian brands?

Peter Mountford: Will you be looking to expand your number of dealerships in SA and UK, given the strong numbers from the Asian brands?" We would always look at opportunities for the Asian brands in South Africa. In the UK, the strategy has been to move our dealerships to a multi-branded philosophy. I think we would be careful in the UK at this point in time. There are still a lot of headwinds that worry us in that environment. The first being, of course, the increase in the national insurance rates, the second, three major minimum wage increases, and the third, the continuing VED legislation, which jumps up to 33% in calendar 2026. So those concerns would keep us in a conservative position of rolling out across our existing dealership network and getting a better optimization of those sites. So I do not think we will increase the number of dealerships in the UK.

Speaker #1: We would always look at opportunities for the Asian brands in South Africa. In the UK, the strategy has been to move our dealerships to a multi-branded philosophy.

Speaker #1: And I think we would be careful in the UK at this point in time. There's still a lot of headwinds that worry us in that environment.

Peter Mountford: I think we would be careful in the UK at this point in time. There are still a lot of headwinds that worry us in that environment. The first being, of course, the increase in the national insurance rates, the second, three major minimum wage increases, and the third, the continuing VED legislation, which jumps up to 33% in calendar 2026. So those concerns would keep us in a conservative position of rolling out across our existing dealership network and getting a better optimization of those sites.

Speaker #1: The first being, of course, the increase in the national insurance rates. The second, three major minimum wage increases. And the third, the continuing VEX legislation, which jumps up to 33% in calendar 2026.

Speaker #1: So those concerns would keep us in a conservative position of rolling out across our existing dealership network and getting better optimization of those sites.

Speaker #1: So, I don't think we'll increase the number of dealerships in the UK. Or where to, Peter? How is Dig able to attain operating margins?

Peter Mountford: So I do not think we will increase the number of dealerships in the UK. A word to Peter, "How is DIG able to attain operating margins which are materially higher than Barloworld?" It is a very different business to Barloworld with a very integrated model, and with a very different product range to that you are seeing in Barloworld. It was also a business with a far lower cost structure than any of its competitors. Themba Konde, Excelsior.

Peter Mountford: A word to Peter, "How is DIG able to attain operating margins which are materially higher than Barloworld?" It is a very different business to Barloworld with a very integrated model, and with a very different product range to that you are seeing in Barloworld. It was also a business with a far lower cost structure than any of its competitors. Themba Konde, Excelsior. "Beyond the volume trends through Maputo and Richards Bay, to what extent are coal and copper businesses benefiting from the current commodity price environment?" Absolutely. The current commodity price environment is positive for both coal and copper. In coal, we have not seen any significant improvement in rates. In copper, we are seeing some rate improvement, and the rates tend to move in conjunction with the current commodity price. The coal export is through Maputo, and the copper export is largely through Richards Bay.

Speaker #1: Which are materially higher than Barlow World. It's a very different business to Barlow World, with a very integrated model and with a very different product range to that which you're seeing in Barlow World.

Speaker #1: It was also a business with a far lower cost structure than any of its competitors. Temba Conde, Excelsior. Beyond the volume trends through Maputo and Richards Bay, to what extent are Colin Copper businesses benefiting from the current commodity price environment?

Peter Mountford: "Beyond the volume trends through Maputo and Richards Bay, to what extent are coal and copper businesses benefiting from the current commodity price environment?" Absolutely. The current commodity price environment is positive for both coal and copper. In coal, we have not seen any significant improvement in rates. In copper, we are seeing some rate improvement, and the rates tend to move in conjunction with the current commodity price. The coal export is through Maputo, and the copper export is largely through Richards Bay.

Speaker #1: Yeah, absolutely. The current commodity price environment is positive for both coal and copper. In coal, we haven't seen any significant improvement in rates. In copper, we're seeing some rate improvement.

Speaker #1: And the rates tend to move in conjunction with the current commodity price. The coal export is through Maputo, and the copper export is largely through Richards Bay.

Speaker #1: Obviously, those cross-border businesses do other activities as well. On the inbound, they haul a lot of fuel from Beira into Zimbabwe. On the outbound, they take a lot of industrial products, building materials, and other things from South Africa.

Peter Mountford: Obviously, those cross-border businesses do other activities as well. On the inbound, they haul a lot of fuel from Beira into Zimbabwe, and on the inbound, they take a lot of industrial products, building material, and other things from South Africa into Zimbabwe and the DRC. Letiiso from Kachala Capital. Sorry, the questions are just jumping a bit. "Does Chinese brand volume growth eventually produce operating leverage, or does Super Group have to continuously chase volume at lower margins?" The volume growth definitely produces operating leverage, and we don't have to continuously chase volume at lower margins. A general comment, gross margins on new vehicle sales are at a pretty consistent level virtually across all products, even premium to lower price type products. Matthew Roberts. "Chery has shot the lights out in SA. Are you seeing them go in the UK?

Peter Mountford: Obviously, those cross-border businesses do other activities as well. On the inbound, they haul a lot of fuel from Beira into Zimbabwe, and on the inbound, they take a lot of industrial products, building material, and other things from South Africa into Zimbabwe and the DRC. Letiiso from Kachala Capital. Sorry, the questions are just jumping a bit. "Does Chinese brand volume growth eventually produce operating leverage, or does Super Group have to continuously chase volume at lower margins?"

Speaker #1: To Zimbabwe, and the DRC. So, Letizo from Kachala Capital—sorry, the question's just jumping a bit. Does Chinese brand volume growth eventually produce operating leverage?

Speaker #1: Does Super Group have to continuously chase volume at lower margins? The volume growth definitely produces operating leverage, and we don't have to continuously chase volume at lower margins.

Peter Mountford: The volume growth definitely produces operating leverage, and we don't have to continuously chase volume at lower margins. A general comment, gross margins on new vehicle sales are at a pretty consistent level virtually across all products, even premium to lower price type products. Matthew Roberts. "Chery has shot the lights out in SA. Are you seeing them go in the UK?

Speaker #1: A general comment: gross margins on new vehicle sales are at a pretty consistent level, virtually across all products, even on premium to lower price-type products.

Speaker #1: Matthew, Robots, Cherry has shot the lights out in SA. Are you seeing them go in the UK? Would we expect the same there, or are there different challenges?

Peter Mountford: Would we expect the same there, or are there different challenges?" We think Chery will grow reasonably well in the UK. The UK, Jaecoo and Omoda have probably been the two most successful. They have been the two most successful new vehicle brand launches in the UK, and I think those product ranges are obviously very strong, as is Chery. Chery is new for us in that market.
