INPUT SUPPLY
Input Supply ’ s results improved by R117m for the year . The main contributor was the inclusion of KLK ’ s profit for the period of 8 months . The Hinterland Group ’ s operational results also continued its upward trend even with the Covid-19 influence on fuel and retail sales . The gross profit margin of Senwes Equipment remained under pressure as margins were decreased to stimulate sales .

FINANCIAL SERVICES
Senwes Credit experienced a very profitable 2020 financial year , with a 29 % increase in profit since 2019 . The main reason for this increase is the increase in gross profit of R17m due to a higher debtor ’ s book . The Certisure Group also increased its result by 27,9 % due to an increase in credit life insurance , crop insurance and funeral cover income .
