Invicta Holdings reports strong global earnings growth driven by operational improvements
The strength of Invicta Holdings' operational model and strategic initiatives for its industrial consumables and capital equipment businesses allowed it to maintain stability and growth in the face of a tough operating environment in the year to March 31, 2025, despite currency volatility and supply chain shipping and logistics challenges, as well as delays at ports due to congestion. Image: Supplied Invicta Holdings, which is listed on the JSE, has marked a year of impressive financial achievements, reporting a sustainable operating profit growth of 16% to R752 million for the year ending March 31. This positive performance reflects the strategic focus on streamlining operations and capitalising on market opportunities, according to CEO Steven Joffe. In a statement released after the results announcement, Joffe expressed satisfaction with the company's progress, noting a 13% rise in sustainable headline earnings per share, which now stands at 553 cents. 'These numbers reflect the robust and consistent nature of the group's core operations,' he said. The South Africa-based company is renowned for its industrial consumables, capital equipment, and auto-agri replacement parts on a global scale. Key initiatives have included the redemption of all preference shares and the disposal of the Kian Ann warehouse in Singapore, both vital steps in enhancing operational efficiency. 'We are pleased with this strong set of results,' Joffe added, underlining the importance of these changes amid challenges presented by currency fluctuations and significant delays in shipping and logistics. The CEO also highlighted the role of the South African Reserve Bank's decision to cut interest rates three times during the financial year as a necessary measure to stimulate economic activity. 'We hope the cuts will continue, as interest rates remain high,' Joffe stated. Another critical factor in this period of growth was Eskom's power supply stability, which has enabled Invicta's customers to conduct business without interruptions for over 300 consecutive days—a significant achievement given the company's historical struggles with load shedding. The strategic disposal of the Singapore property netted the group a dividend of SGD$20m from Kian Ann, coupled with the recent redemption of outstanding preference shares amounting to R703m on July 8, 2024. 'Through this rationalisation of our capital structure, we have unlocked additional value for ordinary shareholders,' said Joffe, emphasising the future benefits shareholders can anticipate. To further bolster its value, Invicta repurchased and cancelled 4.9 million ordinary shares for R157m, with full effects expected in the coming year. A significant step in April was the full acquisition of Nationwide Bearing Company (NWB) in the UK, alongside the strategic disposal of KMP Holdings to Kian Ann Engineering, Invicta's joint venture. Moreover, the establishment of a start-up business named KSP in the US is part of ongoing efforts to solidify Invicta's presence in key markets. This new venture, operating out of Alexandria, Louisiana, aims to enhance the product line of Invicta's KTSUA undercarriage business. However, not all segments experienced growth; revenue from the Replacement Parts for Earthmoving Equipment (RPE) decreased markedly by 48% to R567m. Despite these fluctuations, NWB showed a commendable performance in its inaugural year, while Kian Ann Group saw a revenue increase of 16% and sustainable operating profit up by 12% to SGD$29m. Addressing the outlook, Joffe underscored the importance of agility in the face of global uncertainty, stating, 'We will continue working hard to generate cash. Having a relatively debt-free business gives us the necessary time to respond to difficult situations.' Moreover, the group intends to return about a third of its earnings annually to shareholders through share buybacks or dividends. Visit:

Dover Street Market to Launch DSM Label at Paris Fashion Week
Dover Street Market, the legendaryComme des Garçons-led retail concept byRei KawakuboandAdrian Joffe, has announced that it plans to introduce aDSMprivate-label during Paris Men's Fashion Week. According to the original report fromWWD,Kei Ninomiya, a close member of the Comme des Garçons family and head of his ownNoirlabel, will helm the first and subsequent collections. Joffe emphasized to WWD that Ninomiya's inclusion is 'definitely not a guest-designer situation,' as they plan to keep him 'as long as possible,' in the creative lead role. 'We plan then to add other creators under the DSM brand umbrella, each with a different idea and concept and name,' Joffe added. While Ninomiya's Noir is known for its otherworldly wearable artworks, his DSM collection is expected to swing in the opposite direction, with more everyday pieces and easy-to-wear staples. Ninomiya described his first concept for DSM as 'unnamed team wear,' as he explained what he plans to bring to the collection. The Japanese designer aims to craft 'pieces that suggest a shared visual identity, something subtle and symbolic,' while toning down his typically avant-garde aesthetics for 'everyday garments, jersey pieces, and familiar silhouettes that people live in.' Dover Street Market will showcase the debut DSM collection by Ninomiya from June 28 to July 1 at the Dover Street Market Paris showroom at 35-37 Rue des Francs-Bourgeois alongside spring 2026 collections from the retailer's luxury and streetwear assortment. Adrian Joffe shared with WWD that the next DSM collection will follow in 2026. Stay tuned to Hypebeast for the latest fashion industry insights.

How the ‘sandwich generation' is stretching to care for loved ones, tech might be their lifeline
Many elderly parents rely on their children for essentials, not just food and rent, but now, more urgently than ever, for healthcare. Image: File photo. The so-called sandwich generation, people aged between 30-50 years old, are juggling school runs and zoom meetings, managing grocery lists for two households, and now, trying to make sure mum gets her blood pressure checked while helping their adult children find stable footing in an unforgiving economy. It's a full-time job. And no one's really talking about it. 'It's this silent pressure that people in their late 30s to 50s are shouldering. You're not just raising kids anymore, you're also parenting upwards. You're emotionally and often financially responsible for your parents, especially if they couldn't save enough for retirement. It's a lot,' Tania Joffe, founder of Unu Health said. South Africa's sandwich generation is feeling the squeeze. Many elderly parents rely on their children for essentials, not just food and rent, but now, more urgently than ever, for healthcare. At the same time, adult children may be boomeranging back home, still trying to find their feet in a high-unemployment economy. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ 'It's not uncommon for someone to pay for their child's university fees and their mother's blood pressure medication in the same month. And then their geyser bursts. It's relentless,' Joffe added. According to Stats SA, the average South African retiree's savings fall drastically short of what's needed for a comfortable retirement. Meanwhile, nearly half of South Africans aged 18–34 are unemployed. The 'in between' generation is holding it all together. In this environment, technology has become more than a convenience, it's a coping mechanism. 'Services like Checkers 60/60, Uber Eats, and online grocery deliveries have become essential tools for this generation. You can send mum groceries while you're in a meeting. You can get meds delivered to your dad without leaving your desk. And now, with the rise of telehealth, you can make sure they see a doctor too, even if they don't have medical aid,' Joffe said. This is where Joffe and her team at Unu Health saw an opportunity to ease the burden, not by selling medical services, but by creating a tool that gives people a simple, practical way to help. The new Unu Health CareCard voucher allows users to gift medical care to anyone with access to a smart phone, a parent, a domestic worker, a struggling sibling, to use for doctor consultations, prescriptions, or blood tests. 'It's dignity without dependence. You're not handing someone money and saying 'go figure it out'. You're giving them access to quality healthcare, quickly and privately. It's a subtle but powerful shift,' Joffe further said. For Joffe, this shift isn't just about convenience. It's about changing the way we see caregiving altogether. 'There's still a stigma around struggling to cope. But the reality is, the sandwich generation needs help. Not handouts, just tools to lighten the load,' she said. Joffe pointed out this isn't about selling healthcare apps or replacing real human interaction. 'It's about creating meaningful ways for people to care for each other. Technology is just the enabler. What matters is the intention,' she said.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. For a definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, see the financial tables included in this press release. Also, refer to our Form 8-K to which this release is attached, and other filings we make with the SEC, for further information regarding this measure.

He noted that the company is working with its suppliers and customers to address the current geopolitical environment and related challenges -- specifically tariffs and pricing. The company's solid financial position and cash flow generation support its competitive position and anticipated future growth. Joffe noted that over the last several years, the company proactively has focused on significantly reducing its reliance on Chinese suppliers, which today represents less than 25 percent, and has an established footprint in North America that could be utilized to further reduce this reliance going forward. Joffe highlighted that the company generated cash of approximately $45.5 million from operating activities during fiscal 2025, reduced net bank debt by $32.6 million for the fiscal year to $81.4 million from $114.0 million and also utilized $4.8 million for share repurchases.

Gross margin for fiscal 2025 was 20.3 percent compared with 18.5 percent a year earlier. Gross margin for fiscal 2025 was impacted by $13.5 million, or 1.8 percent, of non-cash expenses, and $5.9 million, or 0.8 percent, of one-time cash expenses, as detailed in Exhibit 4. Interest expense decreased by $4.5 million for fiscal 2025 to $55.6 million from $60.0 million a year ago, impacted by lower average outstanding balances under the company's credit facility and lower interest rates. Net loss for fiscal 2025 was $19.5 million, or $0.99 per share, including the impact of non-cash expenses of $25.0 million, or $1.27 per share, and one-time cash expenses of $6.9 million, or $0.35 per share, as detailed in Exhibit 2. Net loss for the prior fiscal year was $49.2 million, or $2.51 per share, including the impact of non-cash expenses of $50.3 million, or $2.56 per share, and cash expenses of $7.0 million, or $0.36 per share, as detailed in Exhibit 2. Share Repurchase During fiscal 2025 fourth quarter, the company repurchased 274,004 shares for $2.7 million at an average share price of $9.98, and for the full fiscal year, the company repurchased 542,134 shares for $4.8 million at an average share price of $8.91 under its current authorization program, supported by solid cash generation from operating activities. The company anticipates further opportunities to build shareholder value through enhanced profitability and strong cash generation. Fiscal 2026 Guidance Motorcar Parts of America expects net sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 to be between $780 million to $800 million, representing between 3.0 percent and 5.6 percent year-over-year growth. Operating income is expected to be between $86 million and $91 million, representing between 4.3 percent and 10.4 percent year-over-year growth. The company estimates depreciation and amortization will be approximately $11 million. These estimates do not include certain non-cash items and one-time expenses and exclude the impact of tariffs recently enacted due to the uncertainty and continuing changes. Use of Non-GAAP Measure This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. For a definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, see the financial tables included in this press release. Also, refer to our Form 8-K to which this release is attached, and other filings we make with the SEC, for further information regarding this measure.
