Tiger Brands delivers stellar full year results, launches refreshed logo

Tiger Brands has reported a strong full year performance, declaring  a R4 billion special dividend to shareholders.

The food and beverage company on Wednesday also launched a refreshed look, still of course featuring its established tiger image.

The Group owns iconic local brands like Albany, Jungle Oats, All Gold and Black Cat.

For the 12 months to end-September 2025, overall revenue increased by 2.7% to R34.4 billion (2024: R33.5 billion), driven by 3.5% volume growth, and price deflation of 0.8%.

Group operating income jumped 35% to R3.8 billion (2024: R2.8 billion). This was driven by topline growth, and CI initiatives delivering ahead of guidance, Tiger Brands says.

Headline earnings per share (HEPS) from total operations was up 15% to 2 056 cents per share (2024 restated: 1 782 cents per share).

In conversation with Stephen Grootes, Tiger Brands CEO Tjaart Kruger emphasizes how important it was improving efficiencies across the businesses to achieve these results.

He also highlights the role of getting price points and cost structures right in increasing their operating margin.

"Getting our price points right helps our volume growth which obviously gives you much better efficiencies through your factories, and then all  the continuous improvement programmes that we put in place over the last two years.
take the cost out of the supply chain... and that enables you to deliver a profit like we had."

Tiger Brands' stated strategy and purpose is that they want to be relevant to their consumers, Kruger says.

"We must make it easy for our consumers to decide to buy our products; to do that we must have the right price, the right promotional activity... and you can only do that if you become more efficient."

The Group says its refreshed logo draws on the legacy of the tiger that's been integral to their company story for more than a century and reimagines it for the future.
