During the period the group generated strong sales volume growth in its regional and international businesses. However, significant cost inflation has been experienced in cans, raw materials such as meat, fats and oils, and logistics, in particular international freight costs. The group has been unable to recover the full extent of these input cost increases which has adversely impacted the operating profit margin of the regional segment. The operating profit for the international segment has recovered after a weak performance in the prior period. The group’s half year results include the benefit of an insurance settlement of R43.4 million for loss of profits during the Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, which was received in March 2022. The group incurred once-off costs of R23.6 million in the period relating to the acquisition of the Today pie business, including restructuring, relocation and severance costs. Net foreign exchange losses of R4.2 million were recorded for the first half compared to net foreign exchange gains of R19.6 million in the first half of the 2021 financial year.
