Zambeef Reports 43% Decline in Earnings Amid Rising Costs

Elevate Your Investing Strategy:

The latest update is out from Zambeef Product ( (GB:ZAM) ).

Zambeef Products plc announced a 43% decline in Total Basic Earnings per Share for the half year ending March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased financing costs and income tax charges. Despite these challenges, the company saw growth in operating profit driven by improved performance in cropping and beef sectors. The company continues to focus on strategic priorities like revenue growth and cost efficiency, while anticipating macroeconomic pressures to persist. However, a forecasted bumper harvest and improved crop yields are expected to enhance profitability, although disease outbreaks in livestock remain a risk.
