PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
The financial year ended 30 September 2022 saw macroeconomic fundamentals
stabilise. The exchange rate remained largely stable and the inflation rate
steadily reduced. However, constrained consumer spending negatively impacted
volume growth in our Retail and Cold Chain Food Products, particularly in the
first half of the financial year. In addition, the period saw the outbreaks of
animal diseases such as contagious bovine pleuropneumonia(CBPP) and african
swine fever(ASF), which respectively impacted our beef and pork divisions.
Despite these headwinds, performance in Cropping, Milling, and Stockfeed
enabled the Group to achieve normalised EBITDA** in line with market
expectations. This was mainly due to high grain prices, market share gains,
and cost containment. The Group's performance demonstrates its ability to
remain resilient in the evolving market and illustrates the strengths of its
vertically integrated business model which is key to creating sustainable
long-term shareholder value.
Despite the myriad of country and global deterrents directly affecting the
business, through resilient financial and operational performance, Zambeef
established itself, once again, as a dependable asset for our shareholders.
The Group remains committed to its strategic imperatives of focussing on core
business and divestment from non-core assets to free up resources. As such,
the Group exited pig and layer farming during the financial year.
KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Revenue and gross profit increased by 8.5% and 11% respectively, in Kwacha.
The marginal top line growth was mainly on account of volume pressures in
Retail and cold chain food products.
The period saw a rise in input commodity prices, particularly crude oil,
fertilisers and grain, escalated as a consequence of the Russia - Ukraine
conflict. The resultant increase in input costs in the Cold chain business was
offset by higher grain prices in Cropping. The higher grain prices in Cropping
coupled with strong margins in the Stockfeed business drove the Group's
performance.
The Group delivered a profit before tax of ZMW55 million (USD3 million),
representing a decline of 68% in Kwacha (61% in US dollar terms), compared to
ZMW172 million (USD8 million) in the prior year. The above results posted are
after the recognition of goodwill impairment amounting to ZMW141.8 million on
the fair value of Zamchick Limited's asset. Adjusting for this non-cash
impairment, the Group delivered a profit before tax of ZMW197 million (USD11.5
million) representing a growth of 15%.
A higher tax expense and goodwill impairment loss resulted in profit after tax
being K31.5 million (2021: K168.8 million).
STRATEGY
The Board remains committed to achieving the Group's strategic priorities
while navigating the seasonal market and economic challenges. The following
are the pillars on which the five-year strategy is underpinned:
§ Focus and strengthen our core business by investing in capacity and growing
market share
§ Divestiture of non-core assets to free up resources
§ Develop a human capital strategy that aligns with business objectives
§ Strengthen our strategic partnerships
§ Enhancement of shareholders' value

CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
Dear Shareholder,
I have the pleasure of presenting my report to you for the financial year
ending 30(th) September 2022.
The financial year saw an improvement in economic sentiment following the
successful holding of the general election in August 2021 and the peaceful
transition of government. The Kwacha appreciated significantly and remained
stable during the period. However, global economic headwinds contributed to
the disruption of an otherwise positive trajectory for Zambia's macroeconomic
environment. The spill-over effects of the Covid-19 pandemic related supply
disruptions on international trade, added layers of production complexities to
the business as lead times for imported goods increased. Commodity prices,
particularly crude oil, fertilisers and grain, escalated as a result of the
Russia - Ukraine conflict. In addition, the period saw the outbreak of animal
diseases such as, the African Swine Fever and Contagious Bovine
Pleuropneumonia (CBPP) which respectively impacted our pork and beef
businesses.
Despite the headwinds, management worked tirelessly to keep the business
performing by focusing on enhanced bio-security risk, cost management, revenue
maximisation and market share growth. As a result, the business posted
positive financial results and is well-positioned on the path to actualising
its short to medium-term strategy.
The Group's performance demonstrates its ability to remain resilient in the
evolving market and illustrates the strengths of its vertically integrated
business model, which is key to creating sustainable long-term shareholder
value.
Strategy
The Group's medium-term strategy is centred around optimising existing assets
and investing in capacity for the future. It is with this in mind that the
Group announced a US$100 million expansion programme during the year. This
investment strategy is expected to increase the Groups various value chain
capacities, and deliver developmental impact to the Zambian economy through
job creation, increased tax revenue and supporting ancillary businesses such
as small-scale farmers and small to medium-sized businesses. The expansion is
expected to double the Mpongwe Farm row cropping capacity, and also to deliver
significantly improved production efficiency and capacity through the
downstream food value chains. The first crop from the expanded cropping
operations is expected to be planted in the 2023/2024 financial with capacity
upgrades to milling and processing facilities being run in parallel.
As part of the $100m expansion plan, we remain committed to maintaining a
responsible business by building on the Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG) agenda. Therefore, the investment will see an improvement in the Group's
carbon footprint and livestock health and welfare.
As part of the divesture of non-core and low-returning assets, the Group
exited from pig farming, pullet rearing and egg production during the year.
Chiawa farm remains an asset held for sale. These divestitures will enable the
business to focus on becoming best in class and improve the Group's
profitability.
The Board remains committed to achieving the Group's strategic priorities
while navigating the seasonal market and economic challenges. The following
are the pillars on which the five-year strategy is underpinned:
§ Focus and strengthen our core business by investing in capacity and growing
market share
§ Divestiture of non-core assets to free up resources
§ Develop a human capital strategy that aligns with business objectives
§ Strengthen our strategic partnerships
§ Enhancement of shareholders' value
The Economic Environment
Despite the year 2022 being the second year since the outbreak of Covid-19,
its impact on the economy compared to the prior year reduced tremendously due
to the success of governments vaccination campaigns and the public's adherence
to public health measures.
The economy rallied in comparison to the corresponding period under review and
saw stability in macroeconomic fundamentals. The ZMW/USD exchange rate
averaged 17.18 down by 19% compared to 21.12 averaged in the previous
corresponding period. The local currency has seen a steady appreciation since
the start of the financial year despite moments of volatility. A tight
monetary policy which saw the Monetary Policy Rate remain stable at 9%,
relatively high copper prices and market confidence arising from the peaceful
transition of power have been key in keeping the currency stable.
Inflation reduced significantly during the period under review, closing at
9.9% compared to 22.1% in the previous year. This drop came as a result of
currency appreciation and a reduction in food inflation despite the escalation
in diesel and petrol pump prices. Customers disposable income remained under
stress as the effect of stable macroeconomic fundamentals had not yet fully
trickled down to the consumers. Inflation for the period under review averaged
13.4% compared to 21.7% for the previous corresponding period.
Outlook
We anticipate macro-economic stability to continue, supported by improved
investor sentiment leading to increased foreign direct investment. The Kwacha
is also expected to remain stable across the 2023 financial year. The copper
prices, which is a major foreign exchange earner for the country, is expected
to stabilise at current levels as the worst effects of the manufacturing
slowdown have tapered off. The inflation rate is expected to remain stable,
although the outcome of the Russia - Ukrainian tensions could lead to further
rises in global food and energy prices which still pose a risk of higher
inflation locally. Of key concern is the emergence of escalating cost of
funding as foreign currency liquidity migrates to the United States of America
and the United Kingdom, where interest rates are rising.
Executive Management Changes
I am pleased to advise that on 1 July 2022, Ms Faith Mukutu was appointed
Chief Executive Officer. She succeeded Mr Walter Roodt who served as Chief
Executive Officer since January 2020. Mr Roodt will continue full-time with
the Company focussing on Large livestock and Strategic Projects in an
executive capacity to support the expansion programme referred to above. To
ensure a smooth transition, Walter remained on the Board until 1(st) December,
2022.
The appointment of Faith represents the confidence the Board has in her
ability to lead the business through the new phase. Since joining the Group in
September 2019, as the Chief Financial Officer, Faith has been instrumental in
driving the realisation of commercial value from our business having
introduced a cost control culture, restructuring the group balance sheet and
streamlining finance operations and reporting.
I am delighted that at the date of this report, the Board had announced the
appointment of M'boo John Mumba as Chief Financial Officer, Mboo has also been
appointed as an Executive Director of the Board.
M'boo takes on the role, following the promotion of Faith Mukutu, to Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) on 1 July 2022. He joined the Zambeef Group in May
2020 as Project Manager before he took up the role of Group Head of Treasury
and Administration. He has brought to the Company skills which combine
industry, financial and banking experience of more than 16 years. His
established professional background and valuable expertise is an asset to the
Group.
Acknowledgement
On behalf of the Company and the Board, I would like to express my sincere
gratitude to Messrs; Yollard Kachinda and Frank Braeken who resigned from the
board on 14 April 2022 and 27 May 2022, respectively. Their dedication and
contributions to the business during the period they served as Directors will
be greatly missed. I am also indebted to Walter Roodt who, after his
reassignment to a new role remained on the Board for a smooth transition. He
has played a significant role in the Group and we all wish him all the very
best in his new role.
I also thank my fellow board members for steering the Group through the year
and positioning it for the next phase of growth. To our management and staff,
I express my gratitude for another solid performance, dedicated efforts, and
resilience in the face of challenges. I am proud of our achievements to date
and I am excited by the potential opportunities upon which we will build our
future progress.
Michael M Mundashi
Chairman
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REVIEW
Overview
It is my pleasure to give my inaugural report as Chief Executive Officer, to
you, our esteemed shareholders. I wish to thank the Board for their confidence
in my abilities to lead your Company through the next exciting phase of our
growth strategy. I also wish to thank Mr Walter Roodt, my predecessor, for
steering the Group through the challenging times of the last two years.
Without a doubt, this was another challenging year characterised by a
difficult trading environment driven largely by reduced consumer spending and
increased production and input costs, despite the stabilisation of the
macroeconomic environment. Notwithstanding the headwinds, the Group's results
exceeded market expectations, particularly the outstanding performance in the
Cropping and Milling division.
Pressure on volumes and margins in the Retail and Cold Chain Food Products
(CCFP) division on the back of reduced consumer spending negatively impacted
performance, particularly in the first half of the year. An increase in raw
material input costs, such as soya beans, precipitated a rise in feed prices,
which affected production costs in our livestock business. In addition, the
outbreak of African Swine Fever, over six weeks in Lusaka and in other parts
of the country, affected the pork business negatively. Further, the outbreak
of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), a disease affecting cattle
negatively affected our Beef business; with a cost to Company of K20.7
million.
The second half of the year saw volume recovery in volumes in the Retail and
CCFP segments driven by price moderation. This coupled with cost control,
enabled a recovery from the subdued first-half year performance.
Despite the challenges noted above, the Group posted strong results during the
year in line with expectations mainly due to buoyed performance in our
Cropping and Milling division.
The Group delivered a profit before tax of ZMW55 million (USD3 million),
representing a decline of 68% in Kwacha (61% in US dollar terms), compared to
ZMW172 million (USD8 million) in the prior year. The above results posted are
after the recognition of goodwill impairment amounting to ZMW142 million
(USD8.3m) on the fair value of Zamchick Limited assets. Adjusting for this
non-cash impairment, the Group delivered a profit before tax of ZMW197 million
(USD11.5 million) representing a growth of 15%.
The Group generated revenue of ZMW5.4 billion (USD314 million) and achieved a
gross profit of ZMW1.6 billion (USD95 million), representing 8% and 11% above
the prior year in kwacha terms, and up by 33% and 37% in US dollars,
respectively.
Our diversified and vertically integrated business with strong brands,
supportive partners and an experienced management team helped deliver
encouraging results.
Strategic focus
Our strategic focus is to optimise existing assets and invest in the future.
We remain committed to our strategy of focussing on our core businesses, in
which we strive to be the best in class. The continued divestiture of non-core
assets enables us to free up cash to invest in core businesses and therefore,
deliver shareholder value. As part of delivering on our strategic imperatives
and as announced during the financial year under review, our $100M expansion
strategy will see increased profitability in the medium to long term, thus
delivering increased value to our shareholders and positively impacting the
communities in which we operate. As of 30(th) September 2022, a total of $7.3m
out the $100m expansion plan was either spent or committed by the business.
Outlook
Our strong brands will help us maintain customer loyalty while the vertically
integrated business model positions us well to secure both supply and a market
for our products. The anticipated future recovery in the economy and a strong
management team have positioned us well for shareholder value maximisation in
the coming years. The Group will capitalise on the positive economic outlook
and invest for the future in anticipation of improved consumer spending.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict poses risks but at the same time presents
opportunities for our business. The consequent rise in input costs such as
fertiliser and energy could negatively impact our profitability while the rise
in commodity prices, such as wheat and soya, will benefit our Cropping and
Milling division. Higher soya and maize prices would translate into higher
stock feed costs which would negatively impact the profitability of our Retail
and Cold Chain Food products business.
Consolidating our balance sheet through disposals of low-returning assets and
expanding capacity remains a key focus to enhance shareholder value. In the
coming years, the Group is set to make significant strides in our US$100
million expansion program with the Cropping and Milling segment set for
expansion in the 2022/2023 financial year.
Divisional Performance
Table 1 (ZMW) and Table 2 (USD) below provide a summary of the consolidated
performance of the key business divisions reported at an operating profit
level.
Table 1: Divisional financial summary in ZMW'000
Table 2: Divisional financial summary in USD'000
Taking the performance of each of our key business areas in turn:
Retail and Cold Chain Food Products (CCFP)
Sales volumes came under pressure on the back of reduced consumer spending on
proteins and oils, resulting from the trading down to cheaper nutritional
alternatives. A price moderation strategy across all protein categories led to
volume recovery in the second half of the year. The period saw the outbreak of
African Swine Fever in Lusaka and other Provinces, which resulted in our pork
processing operation being shut down and consequently impacted operations
during the period of the animal movement ban. The year also saw the outbreak
of CBPP which negatively impacted our beef business. Chicken sales volumes
struggled as the price of chicken products remained relatively high compared
with other proteins due to sustained high stock feed prices.
Given the above challenges, the Retail and CCFP business registered a revenue
decline of 4% compared to the prior year. Higher input prices, particularly
feed and fuel, resulted in a reduction of gross profit by 13% from the prior
year.
The Retail and CCFP division generated an EBIT margin of 2.8% which decreased
by 6.6% from the previous financial year to ZMW88 million (2021: ZMW216
million) in Kwacha terms.
Cropping and Milling (Cropping, Stockfeed, and Wheat Milling)
The division registered strong results owing to growth in stock feed revenues
and higher grain prices in Cropping, despite lower soya bean yields across the
country due to sporadic rainfall patterns.
The stockfeed business registered good growth due to improved supply chain
planning. The export ban that existed in the first quarter of the year
impacted export sales with an increase in demand for feed being noticeable in
the period after the lifting of the ban.
The Cropping business saw margins improve on the back of higher grain prices
despite an escalation in input costs, particularly fertiliser.
Revenue in the Cropping and Milling division grew by 18% in Kwacha terms and
46% in USD terms, while the operating profit grew by 70% to ZMW 449 million
(2021: ZMW265 million) and by over 100% to USD26 million (2021: USD13 million)
in dollar terms.
Finally, I would like to thank our Board of Directors and all staff and
partners of Zambeef for their contribution to the continued success of the
Group. I look forward to what we will be able to achieve in the coming year as
we continue to implement our growth strategy.
