Shareholders in JSE-listed Labat have endured a roller coaster ride but it seems that finally their patience - and investment - may be paying off. Labat issued a
trading statement on SENS
on 9 March 2023 advising that “the company will reflect a profit for the six months ended 30 November 2022 compared to a loss in the comparable period.
”The earnings per share is expected to improve by 104.65% to 0.2 cents when compared to theloss per share of (4.3) cents for the corresponding prior period. The headline loss per share is expected to improve by 76.7% to (0.1) cents when compared to the headline loss per share of (4.3) cents for the corresponding prior period.”
Labat, which is also listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, has been losing cash at a rate of knots as it’s struggled to turn its first mover advantage in the SA cannabis industry into actual profit. Although the trading statement gives no further details. Labat's CEO Brian van Rooyen has previously said that its subsidiaries, Sweetwater Aquaponics cultivation facility in the Eastern Cape and its retail brand Cannafrica, had become
