Omnia Holdings returned R1.2 billion in dividends and a special dividend to shareholders in the year to March 31 after good earnings growth and the maintenance of a strong balance sheet.
Omnia Holdings is paying out a special dividend of 280 cents a share and a 470 cents final dividend after strong profit growth in 2025 and after navigating supply and pricing disruptions arising from the conflict in the Middle East.
The 18% increase in the final dividend brought the total dividend to 750 cents, which means the group will return R1.2 billion to shareholders, with the payment supported by a strong financial position of the group to March 31, CEO Seelan Gobalsamy said yesterday. Last year the group also paid out at 275 cents a share special dividend.
“Omnia delivered a strong 2026 performance, demonstrating disciplined execution in a complex operating environment. This was driven by strong volume and margin growth, supported by strengthening competitiveness, with both Agriculture and Mining contributing robust earnings, margins, and cash generation,” Gobalsamy said in an online presentation.
Since its turnaround in 2020, the group has returned R6.8bn to shareholders in dividends and share repurchases.
