Pick n Pay Group turnover lifted by Boxer, on course for break even
Grocery retailer Pick n Pay on Tuesday reported a 4.3% increase in group turnover, buoyed mainly by strong growth in its discounter business Boxer, which it spun out and listed last year. Like-for-like sales, which exclude the impact of store openings, closures, conversions or acquisitions, rose 3.8% during the period, the group said in a trading statement for the 17 weeks ended June 29. Boxer, majority-owned by Pick n Pay, was listed separately on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange in November 2024 and competes with Shoprite's Usave and Spar's SaveMor in smaller towns, townships and rural areas. The discounter reported a 12.1% increase in turnover, with like-for-like sales rising 3.9%. "The group views this as a creditable performance in the context of a highly constrained consumer and continued subdued food price inflation," Pick n Pay said. Its subsidiary Pick n Pay South Africa recorded 3.6% growth in like-for-like sales, despite planned store closures and conversions under its store estate reset plan. It said it was making progress with its store reset and business restructuring plans, which are aimed at helping its core supermarket business break even in the medium term. At its annual results presentation in May the group said a trading loss in the Pick n Pay business narrowed by R1bn to R549m and it anticipated the business to break even by 2028. Pick n Pay, the second-largest grocery retailer in southern Africa by turnover, also announced the appointment of Grant Pattison as an independent non-executive director designate. Pattison, a former CEO of Edcon and Massmart Holdings, will join the board in 2026 after completing his current commitments. Reuters

Boxer Retail's share price rises following positive trading update
Boxer produced consistent market share gains through the 17-week period to June 29, 2025. and also saw positive recent trends, as the high base from the first few months of 2025 normalises, Image: : Nqobile Mbonambi/Independent Newspapers Boxer Retail was one of the top biggest movers on the JSE Tuesday morning after it reported a strong performance for the 17-week period to June 29, despite a highly constrained consumer environment and internal food selling price inflation of -0.6%. The soft discount retailer, which was listed out of Pick n Pay in November last year, saw its share price rise 3.58% to R69.21 early Tuesday morning after the release of a trading update that showed turnover up 12.1% and 3.9% on a like-for-like basis. The share price is not far off the R63.51 it traded at when it listed. This represents a positive trend when compared with the 9% turnover and 3.7% like-for-like growth reported for the second half of its 2025 financial year, as disclosed in Boxer's results for the 53 weeks to March 2, 2025. 'Boxer has produced consistent market share gains through the period and also seen positive recent trends, as the high base from the first few months of 2025 normalises,' its directors reported. They said the internal food inflation on a volume-held-constant basis represented a further reduction from the volume-held-constant inflation of 0.3% for the 2025 financial year. 'Despite the challenging economic environment and the mild deflation reported for the period, Boxer remains comfortable that it is on track to meet its previously guided low-teens FY26 turnover growth objective, given the like-for-like momentum and store rollout program,' the directors said.

'Boxer remains confident with its FY26 gross margin outlook, despite the inherent margin management challenges in a low inflation environment,' they said. Boxer, which is still 65.6% held by Pick n Pay, said it was switching to reporting volume-held-constant inflation, which more appropriately reflects its effective selling price inflation to customers. For the 2022, 2023, and 2024 financial years, Boxer's volume-held-constant internal selling price inflation was 4.2%, 10.1%, and 3.1% respectively. BUSINESS REPORT
