Episode Synopsis

GUEST: Seelan Gobalsamy, Omnia Group CEO
Chemicals and agriculture group Omnia Holdings has reported another strong set of interim results, driven by resilience in its mining and agriculture segments. For the six months ended 30 September, operating profit rose 12% to R900 million, while margins expanded to 8% despite global supply pressures and regional volatility.

CEO Seelan Gobalsamy credits the results to “disciplined capital management and operational agility,” with higher sales volumes, improved efficiencies, and proactive cash control underpinning performance. The group’s headline earnings per share climbed 11%, supported by strong growth in South Africa’s agribusiness and a recovery across the rest of Africa. Kaya FM
