Lewis final results March 2026

Revenue for the year rose to R10.3 billion (R9.3 billion) and operating profit increased to R1.3 billion (R1.2 billion). Net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders went up to R853.8 million (R754.9 million). Additionally, headline earnings per share increased to 1 753.4 cents per share (1 482.5 cents per share).

Dividend declaration
Notice was given that a final gross cash dividend of 560 cents per share in respect of the year ended 31 March 2026 has been declared payable to holders of ordinary shares.

Company outlook
The war in the Middle East has led to global economic uncertainty and volatility in international energy markets which has resulted in record fuel prices. Inflationary pressure from higher fuel and transport costs will adversely impact domestic consumer spending.

The Group remains well positioned to gain market share in the uncertain economic environment and will continue to focus on affordability and good stock availability while launching new exclusive merchandise ranges to support future growth.

Management plans to open 40 new stores in the 2027 financial year, including 25 traditional retail stores and 15 speciality bedding stores.
