Prosus accelerates profitability target and delivers on objectives
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The fundamentals of its operating businesses are improving, driving profitable growth

Please note: Group results are shown on a consolidated basis from continuing operations, which reflect all majority owned and managed businesses. All OLX Autos business units are classified as discontinued operations, in line with IFRS disclosures. All growth percentages shown here are in local currency terms, excluding the impact of acquisitions and disposals (M&A), unless otherwise stated.

Prosus is successfully delivering on its commitments. The fundamentals of its operating businesses are improving, driving profitable growth. The ongoing open-ended buyback continues to compound value over time and the removal of the cross-holding agreement has greatly simplified the Group’s structure. Lastly, with its strong balance sheet and
through active portfolio management, the Group is well positioned to generate improved returns through smart and disciplined capital allocation, benefitting all its stakeholders.

Headlines

Sustained topline growth of 16%, more than double the rate of peers, with Ecommerce consolidated revenue of US$2.6bn.

Meaningful improvement in profitability, enabling the Group to bring forward its Ecommerce profitability target by six months to 2H 2024.
o Consolidated Ecommerce trading loss of only US$36m, representing a 10% margin improvement year-on-year.
o iFood is now profitable overall, not just in its core.

Core headline earnings more than doubled, increasing 118%, on improved Ecommerce and Tencent profitability

Free cash inflow increased to US$725m, a 6x improvement year-on-year.

Strong balance sheet with central cash of US$15.1bn.

Removal of cross-holding agreement between Prosus and Naspers completed in September 2023, to simplify the Group’s structure.

Ervin Tu, Interim Group CEO, Prosus and Naspers, commented: “We are making substantial progress against our commitment to drive profitable growth. Through active management of our portfolio, we have delivered improved results as our Ecommerce portfolio is now close to breakeven and growing at scale. We’ve simplified our Group structure, and the open-ended buyback programme is driving daily NAV per share growth – magnifying returns over the long term. With deep institutional knowledge across a number of technology domains, including AI, we are well positioned to support exceptional technology companies around the world. We remain ambitious in our plans and disciplined in our approach to drive real returns for all of our stakeholders.“

Basil Sgourdos, Group CFO, Prosus and Naspers, commented: “The Group has delivered a strong financial performance, beating industry levels of growth, while significantly accelerating profitability. Driven by continued strong execution across our Ecommerce portfolio, I expect this trajectory to continue at pace. Our Classifieds and Food Delivery segments are both profitable, and PayU is making strong progress towards profitability. Core headline earnings have doubled and the impact of the strong improvements in Ecommerce and Tencent are also evident in our free cashflow, which has increased six times. Our strong and flexible balance sheet, active portfolio management and disciplined capital allocation will underpin our success.”
