19 Oct 2022Thanks for the concisely written and informative daily Ghost Bites as well as other useful insights.
“… as this adjusts for the business interruption proceeds that were in this period and not in the base.” What does this mean in layman language?
What is Boxer (Pick ‘n Pay)?

19 Oct 2022Business interruption proceeds refers to the amounts received from insurers from the recent civil unrest/ looting. This proceeds were not included in the prior period( base) and therefore makes it hard to compare to current. Pro forma HEPS would adjust for this making it more comparable period on period.

20 Oct 2022There is no greater joy than watching readers answer each other’s questions! Apologies for my delayed response. There was a question about Boxer – this is Pick n Pay’s grocery format that is aimed at lower income earners. You typically find them in areas with high foot traffic e.g. near taxi ranks. Excellent business that has been growing at great pace for years now!
