GROUP RESULTS FOR THE 52 WEEKS ENDED 28 JUNE 2026 AND CASH DIVIDEND DECLARATION
Pieter Engelbrecht, Chief Executive Officer:
For the year, the Shoprite Group increased sale of merchandise from continuing operations by 7.2% to R270.8 billion, adding R18.1 billion in sales.
This was achieved in a period of internal selling price inflation, averaging 0.8% within our core Supermarkets RSA segment, notably lower than Stats
SA's official food and non-alcoholic beverages inflation of 3.9% for the year. Our selling price inflation reflects the Group's continued commitment
to lowest prices and affordability, as does the R18.3 billion in Xtra Savings rewards returned to our customers at till point during this year.
Supermarkets RSA, representing 84.5% of Group sales, increased sales by 7.1% and added R15.2 billion to last year's base. Within this, Shoprite and
Usave increased sales by 4.3% alongside internal selling price deflation of -0.1% and -0.6% respectively, whilst Checkers and Checkers Hyper
increased sales by 10.0% with internal selling price inflation of 2.0% and 1.2% respectively. Our home-grown pet format, Petshop Science, reached
185 stores and increased sales by 74.5%, following 41 net new store openings.
Included in the aforementioned Supermarkets RSA's sales, Sixty60, the Group's on-demand digital platform, increased sales by 34.5% to R25.5 billion.
This translates to an additional record R6.6 billion in additional revenue over the year.
We continue to invest selectively in adjacent growth markets where specialist expertise and speed-to-market offer a clear advantage. Post our
financial year end we finalised the acquisition of an initial 51% interest in R&A Cellular which will support the expansion of our financial
services and value-added products and services across informal and semi-formal retailers. In addition, we signed a purchase agreement subject to
conditions precedent and regulatory approval, to acquire Vida e Caffe. Intended to strengthen our presence in the growing coffee and quick-service
restaurant category the acquisition will add deep operational expertise and an established network of approximately 400 corporate and
franchise stores.
After many years of consolidation, it is pleasing to report Supermarkets Non-RSA increased sales by 11.0% together with improved profitability.
To our valued customers, thank you for your continued support. It is deeply valued and what drives us every day to raise our bar on best priced
and better value for all. In addition, I extend my heartfelt thanks to our 174 430 employees. It is only as a result of our collective effort
that we continue to deliver exceptional customer value, sustainable returns and shared prosperity for all stakeholders.
