d'oh! d'oh! d'oh! No matter what, one can't please everyone.
Doesn't matter. @Aguy @kausha - I think our mboy Ohana is going to take KK places. At the current run-rate it could be 0.75 for 1H.

What I wanted to read. I hope this is fleshed out further in the Annual Report and at the AGM.

Future Outlook

The year 2015 was characterized by dropping oil prices. The management takes the view that in 2016 oil prices will remain relatively low, but volatile and subdued, a factor that augurs well for strong results in 2016 for the Group.
The Group is optimistic that the growth in earnings and profitability will be sustained in 2016 and going into the future. This will be driven by focused expansion of the retail network by adding new service stations in the countries where we operate in. Furthermore, in partnership with various brands, we are selectively rebuilding existing and strategic service stations to enhance sales volume and revenue from Non-fuel income as has happened this year where we have completely rebuilt Kobil South-C and Kobil South-B in Kenya.
The Group has developed an effective strategy of constantly reviewing and restructuring debt and indeed repayment of the same which has enabled the Group to successfully reduce its debt burden. With the traction we gained and supported by low oil prices, we are confident that the Group will be debt free within 2016.

We'll know that after seeing how much they sold in 2015 then gauge.



Net sales went down

Cash generated from Operations also went down Sad

Sigh. Kuweni Serious.

When PRICES go down the SALES will also reduce [unless the VOLUMES rise by the same margin] but lower sales is not an indicator of 'poor business' as volumes are king.

Volumes +13% but as we have seen the price reduction [net of taxes] has been much larger.

Net cash generated from operating activities is down 5%. This could be partly attributed to sale of TZ & DRC [as KK would have reduced the level of business in TZ to reduce exposure as well as not having a full 12 months of sales].



In the thread "why are we still paying 110/- at the pump" we all know that reduced prices did not take effect in Kenya until waaaayyy later...What happens now that the prices are going up?

Sad Paid Caesar what is his and we gonna have a free girl from now.
You cannot have business with a very high debt (Loan). We have cleared much of it. We have prunned the hedges.
I wished Ohana talked about Partnership.

Answer was given but to make it even easier, I have used Blue "In the year 2015, the sales volume grew by 13% as compared to 2014. The sales revenue dropped by only 4% mainly due to a drop in international oil prices where the reference Murban Crude Oil dropped by 39% in 2015."

And what am telling you is that in 2015 the international oil prices went down significantly but that advantage was not passed to the consumer (price control) until waaayyyy later...this should have been evident in the books.

Yes, (almost) 2x the PAT vs 2014. And 2H PAT was almost 2x 1H.
As for reduced debt... yes, as I have said many times before, the low(er) oil prices have helped reduce debt. Higher oil prices is not beneficial to KK as it increases debt and interest costs.

Most definitely @VVS. I don't expect anything less!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

It depends alot on if the capital gains from the TZ, Congo sales were booked through profit and loss, and how much.

I can't believe this is kk doing 2.5bn pat. I can't. Unbelievable performance! H1 will show the way. Long story short, I feel well consolidate around 2.5 bn in 2016 as well
