Sameer Africa Outlook & Dividend
Management highlighted ongoing efforts to optimize costs, enhance product quality, and diversify revenue streams. However, external risks such as exchange rate volatility and rising input costs remain a challenge to sustaining profitability.
The Board opted not to declare a dividend for 2025, prioritizing reinvestment and balance sheet consolidation over shareholder payouts.
