Publicly listed Vision Investments Limited (VIL) recorded a turnover of $110.16 million in the half year ended September 30, 2025 – represents an 8.1 per cent growth compared to $101.94m recorded in the previous year. During the period, the group’s trading profit increased by 4.7 per cent year-on-year, while profit before tax increased to $10.37m, compared to $9.55m (8.6 per cent) over the corresponding period.
VIL director Navin Patel said the growth reflected effective sales execution strategies across their key divisions. He said the first half of the year was impacted by soft demand in their retail sector, driven by inflationary pressures and cautious consumer spending.
“Trading conditions were further challenged by a slowdown in tourist arrivals early in the year. Despite these headwinds, the group’s performance was supported by effective sales execution strategies, including strong sales growth in Vision Motors, leveraging innovative strategies to capture new market opportunities,” Mr Patel said in the company’s market announcement released to the South Pacific Stock Exchange (SPX) where it is listed.
He said Vision Finance continued its robust expansion, driven by growth in asset financing and the third-party hire purchase lending portfolio. He added other divisions also contributed satisfactorily to overall operating results.
“Looking ahead, the outlook for the second half is positive. As we navigate an evolving economic environment, the group remains committed to delivering sustainable growth through innovation, disciplined cost management, and strategic investments that enhance productivity and operational excellence. Our focus is on leveraging emerging opportunities across all divisions to create long-term value for our shareholders and stakeholders.”
Mr Patel said the directors had also declared a first interim dividend of 3.00 cents per ordinary share, amounting to a total dividend payment of $3,113,082.75 out of profits for the financial year ending March 31, 2026. The group’s balance sheet remains strong with total assets increasing to $302.53m from $292.86m last year. It also reported adequate liquidity levels ensuring the group was well positioned to support operational requirements and fund strategic growth initiatives.
VIL is the parent company of Courts, Vision Motors, Mahogany Industries Fiji and Vision Finance.
