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. 210 R’m 180 150 120 90 123 15 (13) (7) 148 60 30 30 0 Results 2019 Inclusion of KLK profit Increased wholesale net profit margins Margins lost due to lower equipment sales Other Results 2020 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. 210 180 168 4 17 (2) 14 201 150 120 90 R’m 60 30 0 Results 2019 Higher Certisure margins Higher credit margin due to late harvest and settlements of debt Loyalty scheme expense Other Results 2020 76 ROOTED IN AGRICULTURE
