OVERVIEW
Operating conditions in the first half of our new financial year remained challenging, although price fluctuations in
our key commodities (copper, aluminium, nickel and steel) largely balanced each other out.
While the global economy shows signs of improvement, the upturn remains weak, with significant downside risks.
Lower energy prices are taming headline inflation and China's reopening has boosted global activity. But core
inflation is proving persistent, and the impact of higher interest rates is evident across the global economy. In South
Africa, higher inflation has seen the Reserve Bank raise interest rates over 4% in the past year. The concomitant
impact on businesses has been exacerbated by the ongoing and significant issues at key parastatals for logistics
and power, respectively Transnet and Eskom.
Against this background, Insimbi produced solid results for the six months to August 2023, underscoring the benefit
of our diversified portfolio. In addition to timely management action, this diverse asset base has shielded the Group
from the impact of the government ban on exporting recycled metals, which is currently in place until December
2023. Reflecting the consistent performance of our operations, in the interim period we have:
• Largely maintained revenue at over R3 billion (-4% vs interim period in 2022) although operating profit
declined 9%.
• Continued to manage increases in operating expenditure, despite record hikes in fuel and transport logistics
as well as the ongoing instability of power supplies. The significant cost reductions effected to date are
sustainable as we operate a leaner and resilient business.
• Reduced our debt-to-equity ratio from over 99% in the 2021 financial year to 61% in the 2023 financial year
and maintained this level despite the noted interest rate increases.
• Met all our financial covenants at reporting date.
Overall, our target industries and markets continue to develop, our core operations have performed well and demand
for our products remains strong, both locally and for export.
