COMPANY PROFILE
Cashbuild is southern Africa's leading retailer of quality building materials and associated products,
selling direct to a predominantly cash-paying customer base through its chain of 317 stores at reporting
date. Cashbuild carries an in-depth quality product range tailored to the specific needs of the communities
it serves. Its customers are typically home-builders and improvers, contractors, farmers, traders, as well
as all other customers requiring quality building materials at the best value.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Group revenue for the period increased by 6%. Revenue for stores in existence prior to July 2024
(pre-existing stores - 297 stores) increased by 2% and the 20 new stores contributed 4% to growth.
Transactions through the tills increased by 5%. Selling price inflation was 1.5% at the end of
June 2026. Gross profit increased by 8% with gross profit margin percentage increasing from 24.8%
to 25.3%. Operating expenses increased by 9% (excluding the loss on disposal of the Malawi
subsidiary, 7%).
The effective tax rate for the period is 29.2% compared to 26.5% for the prior period.
Basic earnings per share decreased by 25% and headline earnings per share decreased by 8%. The
difference is mainly due to the loss realised on disposal of the Malawi subsidiary of R34.9 million.
Cash and short-term funds increased by 4% to R2.0 billion. Inventory levels, including new stores,
increased by 7% with stock days at similar levels to prior year at 97 days. Net asset value per share is
7 784 cents (June 2025: 7 996 cents).
During the period the Group opened 9 new stores and closed 11 underperforming stores (5 Cashbuild and
6 P&L Hardware stores). The Group further acquired 3 Amper Alles stores and disposed of the Malawi
subsidiary with its 2 stores. The Group further refurbished 19 stores. Cashbuild will continue its store
expansion, relocation, and refurbishment strategy in a controlled manner, through its feasibility process.
The opening and conversion of stores to the Cashbuild Small Model Stores (SMS) remains on track.
PROSPECTS
Group revenue for the 7 weeks subsequent to period end is at similar levels to prior year's comparative
