Clicks Group Limited Reports Impressive Full-Year Results Ahead of 1,000th Store Opening
In an exciting announcement this morning, Clicks Group Limited unveiled its full-year results for the financial year that ended on June 30, 2025. The company’s performance demonstrates consistency and strength, showing a group turnover growth of approximately 5.3%. This growth has significantly boosted their return on equity to 49.2%, while dividends have seen a healthy increase of 14.2%.
In a lively conversation with Jimmy Moyaha from Africazine, Group CEO Bertina Engelbrecht shared insights on the company’s achievements and future directions. “This is truly an incredible business,” Bertina expressed, reflecting the company’s storied history as it gears up to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2028. “Few companies can boast such sustained success, and we feel privileged to be part of this journey.”
Celebrating Loyalty and Growth
One major milestone highlighted in the discussion was the 30th anniversary of the renowned ClubCard loyalty program. Clicks Group has seen an impressive growth in membership from around 12.1 million last year to nearly 13 million this year. The loyalty program has become a cornerstone of Clicks’ success, returning a whopping R7.5 billion to customers and underscoring its significance in the South African retail landscape.
Bertina noted that over 80% of Clicks’ sales are generated through ClubCard customers, emphasizing how vital this program is to their operations. “We are immensely grateful for the respect and love shown towards the ClubCard, making it our most valuable asset,” she said.
Expanding with Purpose
As the company approaches the milestone of 1,000 stores, which they expect to reach by December 2025, Engelbrecht shared insight into Clicks’ acquisition strategy, particularly regarding their investments in the beauty and health sectors. Companies like Sorbet and ARC have been pivotal in enhancing their brand’s appeal to higher-income customers.
Bertina explained how these investments align with their core business focus: “We want to remain close to our core business and leverage our competitive advantages, especially in health and beauty.” With the Sorbet brand performing better than ever and a modest stake in ARC—known for its luxury beauty offerings—Clicks is confidently addressing the growing demand from upscale clientele.
Innovating for the Future
Clicks is not just resting on its laurels. They recently hosted the Clicks Beauty Playground, which underscores their commitment to innovation and engagement within the beauty sector. With a blend of masterclasses, entertainment, and interactive opportunities for self-expression, this event is designed to resonate with consumers.
“The enthusiastic feedback we received has encouraged us to explore expanding these events to more regions, ensuring we cater to our loyal customer base across South Africa,” Bertina shared.
As Clicks Group continues to grow and innovate, their pathway to becoming a leading beauty powerhouse remains clear. For fans of health, beauty, and retail news, this is a story to watch as Clicks prepares to open its 1,000th store and enhance its already robust portfolio.
