Insimbi: Interim Results August 2024

Insimbi Revenue from contracts with customers lowered to R2.7 billion (R3.0 billion) with gross profit declining to R196.4 million (R263.7 million). Operating profit plummeted to R15.2 million (R103.2 million) with the loss for the year ending at R9.4 million (profit for the year of R56.7 million). Additionally, the headline loss per share came to 1.22c per share (headline earnings of 15.46c per share).
Company prospects The local economy remains fragile, with the South African Reserve Bank revising forecast GDP growth to 1.1% for 2024. In its September statement, the bank noted its upgraded forecast was premised on better-functioning network industries, especially electricity, alongside broader reform momentum.
For Insimbi, we believe trading conditions in the second half should improve, supported by the absence of once-off costs incurred in the first half and our intense focus on costs, working capital and margins. In addition, the global focus on decarbonisation and vehicle electrification continues to support copper and aluminium prices, key commodities in the group’s operations. While the risk of external disruptions remains high, we believe we continue to demonstrate the group’s resilience.
Strategically, our focus is on recycling and beneficiating ferrous and non-ferrous metals to meet demand for our products from local and export clients. This clear purpose is reinforced by excellent teams across the group working to deliver more with less, and we deeply appreciate their commitment.
