SUMMARISED AUDITED CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023,
DIVIDEND DECLARATION AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (“AGM”)
Introduction to the Nu-World Holdings Group
Nu-World is a company incorporated and domiciled in South Africa with subsidiaries in Australia, Brazil, United Arab
Emirates and Hong Kong. The main business of Nu-World and its subsidiaries includes the importing, assembling,
marketing and distribution of branded consumer goods.
The Board presents the Nu-World summary results for the twelve months ended 31 August 2023. The Group’s results
to 31 August 2023 were disappointing due to a severely distressed South African economy and slowly recovering
Global economy.
In SA, revenue decreased by 23,1% compared to the prior year due to a combination of weak volume growth, subdued
selling price inflation and reduced consumer discretionary expenditure, although H2 2023 showed a remarkable
improvement in profitability.
Offshore operations increased revenue by 25,0%, although impacted to some extent by the stronger USD, the increase
primarily attributable to better penetration in the markets in which we trade.
