Zambeef Products Plc announced that for the year ending September 30, 2018, adjusted Profit Before Tax is expected to be circa USD 5 million, which exceeds market expectations by more than 10%. This strong performance has been driven largely by the Retail and Cold Chain Food Products division, which has delivered strong volume and margin growth during the year as a result, inter alia, of the continued successful rollout of the Macro Stores and the resulting increase in demand for Cold Chain Food Products and stock feed. At this time, the Group does not expect BLS to have a material negative effect on its consolidated results for the coming financial year. Net debt at the year end is expected to be in the region of c. USD 59 million.
