Pharmacy group Clicks will be paying a dividend in its year to end-August, having seen shifts in consumer behaviour during the Covid-19 lockdown, when many of its businesses operated as an essential service.
The group has seen double-digit earnings growth so far in its financial year, with fewer customers visiting its stores during the Covid-19 lockdown, but an increase in basket size.Group turnover increased by 10% to R32.3bn in the 49 weeks to August 9, Clicks said. Diluted headline earnings per share for the year to end-August is expected to rise by between 10% and 15% from the prior period’s 663.6c — which has been restated due to accounting changes.
Clicks said it would declare a full-year dividend, within 60%-65% payout ratio. The policy ratio is for Heps, not diluted Heps, which refers to accounting for any securities that could be converted into shares. In morning trade on Wednesday, Clicks’s share price was up 2.37% to R234, having fallen 8.82% so far in 2020.
