And despite constrained trading conditions in Southern Africa, Ingrain significantly improved its operational results for the five months to September 28 following a turnaround plan that was instituted in the second quarter of the 2024 financial year, according to a trading statement Tuesday.

The group results were nevertheless weighed down by the markedly lower activity levels at VT, as the business trades towards break-even at the profit level.

In the first five months of the 2025 financial year, group revenue fell 4.9% to R14.8 billion.

Group earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) declined by 12% to R1.6bn. Operating profit from core trading activities fell 20.5% to R1.1bn.
