In his AGM address, chairman Koos Bekker reported that Naspers
delivered a solid performance for the year against a volatile
macroeconomic backdrop. He noted while shareholders had already
received copies of Naspers’s summarised financial results, these
were also available on the group website www.naspers.com.
Highlights of 2016 included:
- In constant currency core headline
earnings, a reliable indicator of sustainable earnings, grew 49% in
dollars to US$1.2bn.
- Revenue rose 22%, driven by strong
growth especially in ecommerce and via our interest in
Tencent.
- With your approval, the annual gross
dividend will be increased by 11% to 520c per listed N ordinary
share, and to 104c per unlisted A ordinary share.
However, we also faced some challenges:
- Our video-entertainment segment bore
the brunt of falling commodity prices, which drove African
currencies down. Angola and Nigeria were tough. We had to lower
some prices to help our loyal customers.
- The South African economy slowed.
- We are no longer competing against
local players: these days our competitors are Google, Facebook and
Amazon, boxers many times our size and scale. Competition is now
global, while regulators still think in terms of countries. We need
to change their mindset.
We invested heavily in engineers, technology, content and
marketing. We are proud of a few achievements:
- Supersport is the main funder of sport
on the African continent.
- We paid taxes of R9.8bn to various
countries where we do business.
- Our ownership profile in MultiChoice
has reached the remarkable point where black South Africans and
white South Africans now own equal percentages of the company. We
were quite surprised when we did the latest calculation: this shows
the country is moving faster in rebalancing ownership than
previously thought.
Taking a longer view, our market capitalisation has grown from
US$622m on listing in 1994 to US$73.9bn today.
We appreciate the constant support of our shareholders. We also
thank our partners, suppliers and associates around the world. Most
importantly, we deeply appreciate what our friends and employees
have contributed over the past year in enthusiasm, energy and
enterprise.
