| Revenue | 159 | 629 | (74) |
| (Loss)/profit for the year | (440) | 611 | >(100) |

The audited results demonstrate a staggering 74% decrease in revenue, amounting to R159 million compared to R629 million in the previous year. Even more concerning is the substantial loss of R440 million incurred during the year, representing a significant decline from the R611 million profit reported in the previous fiscal year.
The decline in earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS is particularly alarming, with both metrics experiencing a loss of more than 100%, plunging to (31.9) cents from 43.9 cents in the prior year. These figures indicate a challenging financial performance for RMB Holdings Limited during the period under review.
However, amidst the difficult financial results, there is a silver lining in the form of headline earnings per share, which increased significantly by over 100%, reaching 11.6 cents compared to 4.0 cents in the previous year. The diluted headline earnings per share also showed a similar increase, reaching 11.6 cents.
On the dividend front, RMB Holdings Limited reduced its payout to shareholders to 77 cents per share from 141.7 cents in the previous year. The net asset value per share also experienced a substantial decrease of 64%, dropping to 100.3 cents from 277.0 cents in the previous year.
Despite the challenging financial performance, the company maintains its commitment to transparency and adherence to corporate governance standards. RMH’s 2023 integrated report and audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, which received an unmodified audit opinion from Deloitte & Touche, the Company’s auditor, are available on the Company’s website.
