Quantum - trading statement and operational update
Shareholders of Quantum Foods were advised that for the year ended 30 September 2025 ("FY2025" or the "Current Reporting Period"), a reasonable degree of certainty exists that:
• headline earnings per share ("HEPS") of the Company will be between 127.4 cents and 143.4 cents compared to the HEPS of 80.4 cents reported for the year ended 30 September 2024 ("Previous Corresponding Period"), being an increase of between 58% and 78%; and
• earnings per share ("EPS") of the Company will be between 129.9 cents and 145.9 cents compared to the EPS of 80.0 cents reported for the Previous Corresponding Period, being an increase of between 62% and 82%.
Operational update
Trading conditions during the Current Reporting Period showed marked improvement relative to the Previous Corresponding Period.
During the Previous Corresponding Period, the Company experienced further outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza ("HPAI") in South Africa, impacting birds to the value of approximately R37 million. The HPAI outbreaks in 2023 and 2024 negatively affected earnings in the Previous Corresponding Period and resulted in reduced volumes of feed, livestock, hatching eggs and table eggs. In addition, the Company incurred significant cleaning and disinfecting costs in preparation of the affected farms for future placement. The negative impact was compounded by a substantial number of load shedding hours in the first six months of the Previous Corresponding Period.
During the Current Reporting Period, the Company benefitted from improved throughput as a result of a recovery in its layer flock, increased feed sales volumes, increased day-old broiler and layer livestock sales, strong operational efficiencies, minimal load shedding in South Africa and improved performance from operations in Zambia and Uganda. Although average egg selling prices remained relatively high, they decreased by approximately 17% compared to the Previous Corresponding Period. This decline followed a recovery of the South African layer flock to levels above those observed in mid-2023, prior to the major HPAI outbreaks of 2023 and 2024.
The financial results for the Current Reporting Period are expected to be published on SENS on or about Friday, 28 November 2025.
