The group has apparently maintained its focus on the objectives set out in its long-term plan of building a leaner and more cost-effective business.

Retailer Pick n Pay said on Friday its diluted headline earnings per share were up 26.1% during the 53 week weeks to March 3 and declared a final dividend of 192 cents per share.

Pick n Pay said its South Africa performance mitigated some operating challenges experienced outside its borders, with earnings from the Rest of Africa division down 16.2% year-on-year, reflecting difficult economic conditions in Zambia and the once-off impact of currency devaluation in Zimbabwe. Successful execution of this strategy had enabled it to report market-leading turnover growth of 7.1%, and like-for-like turnover growth of 4.8%, the company said.

“Over the past six years, a relentless focus on improving cost and operating effectiveness has enabled the group to invest in a winning customer offer through lower prices, more attractive promotions, better and more innovative products, compelling value-added services, and brighter and more modern stores – without sacrificing earnings growth,” said Pick n Pay.
