      ECONET EARNINGS UPDATE
      ECONET HY2023 EARNINGS UPDATE Sub-optimal tariffs drag Econet into losses… Econet’s revenue declined by 1% to $112.4bn as EBITDA dropped 17% to close at $52.2bn. The decline in revenue was attributable to frequent tariff reviews that continued to lag behind inflation and changes in CPI. Voice and data traffic grew 27% and 40% apiece but these increases were negated by tariffs which remain unaligned to the cost base of the business. Profit before tax declined by 84.59% to $5.45bn while, Profit after tax plunged 122.55% to close at a loss of $5.78bn. The increased tax burden from $9bn to $12bn in HY2023 and the rise in exchange losses by 2253.80% to $43.60bn affected the group’s profitability. Earnings per share went down 121.77% to -2.31 compared to 10.61 in 2022. Group’s total assets amounted to $377.44bn which was a 30.50% increase as total liabilities closed at $130.53bn. The current asset ratio for HY23 is at 1.06:1 down from a ratio of 1.27:1, meaning the company has less resources to cover their short-term liabilities.
