Electrical wholesaler and lighting distributor ARB Holdings said on Thursday that recent acquisitions helped to boost revenue in the half year to end-December, though it continues to feel the pinch from reduced spending by power utility Eskom.
Operating profit rose 16% to R106.3m to end-December, while headline earnings per share rose 40.9% to 32.65c, the group said. Turnover in the group’s electrical division decreased by 4.5% to R1.04bn due to the lack of big infrastructure projects, with Eskom’s spending on electrification remaining “inconsistent”.
