Natbrew Projects 204% Surge in Earnings for September 2025 Period
National Breweries Plc (Natbrew) expects its Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the period ending 30 September 2025 to rise by 204 percent, according to a trading statement issued by the Company’s Board of Directors.
The substantial improvement is attributed to stronger margins driven by a more profitable product mix and several cost-efficiency measures. Natbrew cited gains from contract farming, which has enhanced grain supply security and reduced procurement costs.
The Company also highlighted innovations that have improved product quality at lower cost, as well as the development of local suppliers for key raw materials.
Additional benefits were recorded from the appreciation of the Kwacha, which reduced the cost of imported inputs, and lower fuel prices, which eased distribution expenses across its nationwide network.
The Company noted that the trading update has not been reviewed by external auditors. Natbrew expects to publish its full financial results for the half-year on the Securities Exchange News Service (SENS) on or around 28 November 2025.
Shareholders have been advised to exercise caution when trading in the Company’s securities until the official results are released.
The statement was issued by Company Secretary Simbarashe Banga.
