  • Rainbow interim results December 2025
    2026-03-11 07:29:56
    Revenue from contracts with customers grew to R8.8 billion (R7.9 billion) and operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortisation and impairments (EBITDA) shot up to R1.1 billion (R0.6 billion). Operating profit more than doubled to R865.8 million (R415.8 million). Profit for the period attributable to equity holders multiplied to R669.5 million (R317.0 million). Furthermore, headline earnings per share shot up to 74.81 cents per share (35.64 cents per share ). Ordinary dividend No. 2 The Board of Directors has approved an interim gross cash dividend (number 2) of 15.0 cents per ordinary share (12.0 cents per share net of dividend withholding tax) for the six months ended 28 December 2025. The dividend has been declared from income reserves. Company outlook Rainbow’s future focus remains firmly fixed on managing its internal fundamentals by advancing the “Future Perfect Rainbow” strategy. To successfully achieve its key business objectives, Rainbow is continually refining its five strategic pillars of operational efficiencies, competitive procurement, future proofing the business, unleashing our people’s potential and delivering strong market-facing capabilities. With the continued focus on cost containment and improved efficiencies, the Company expects to follow the same strategy for the second half of the financial year. The leadership team will continue to concentrate on what is in its control, including an unwavering focus on best-in-class farming practices, product quality, cost management, investment in infrastructure and an efficient asset base. Chicken production in South Africa has grown at a rate faster than consumption over the past decade, despite significant local and global challenges. With a notable decline in feed prices and competitive production costs relative to other major producing countries, the South African industry could be poised to take advantage of growth opportunities. However, having replaced a substantial amount of imports since 2018, import replacement opportunities are becoming more limited and exports will be key to enhanced growth. In this context, ensuring that the business remains competitive in efficiency, cost and product diversity, as well as being compliant with Government regulations, is critical. The operating environment within which Rainbow operates will continue to change. Ongoing risks include the impact of US tariff policies, volatile input costs and challenging South African trading conditions. The Board is concerned about the recent developments in the Middle East and the potential impact on the business environment. Avian Influenza remains a threat to the industry. Rainbow has proactively invested in upgrading key facilities and enforced strict biosecurity protocols to help mitigate the risk of any potential outbreaks. Recognising this as a risk to the entire industry, Rainbow collaborates with various industry stakeholders in an effort to collectively address this risk and implement appropriate and necessary actions. As demand dynamics evolve in response to market conditions, Rainbow remains focused on innovation across its product offering to deliver affordable, quality protein and advance its purpose of nourishing the nation. A key pillar for the business success is management’s intense focus on people and driving a high-performing culture that delivers results. Rainbow’s separation from RCL FOODS has almost been completed, with the transition of a few key internal services expected to be finalised by the end of June 2026. The Company remains steadfast in its ambition of being South Africa’s market-leading, best-in-class and lowest-cost chicken producer.
