The group says it saw a good recovery in demand in the second half of its year to end-December, and should pay a dividend

JSE-listed Vivo Energy, which operates the Shell and Engen brands in 23 African countries, expects operating profits in its year to end-December 2020 to beat analyst forecasts after demand picked up in the wake of easing Covid-19 restrictions.

The group expects full-year adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation to be above the top end of a range of $331m to $354m. “As a result, we are cautiously optimistic, and believe we are well positioned for the future due to our leading positions in structural growth markets, together with our diversified and resilient business model,” Chammas said.
