Right. Good morning everyone to the results presentation of Libstar Holdings Limited for the year ended 31st of December 2023. Special welcome to those of you joining us here in person at the Century City Convention Center, as well as those joining us via the webcast. This morning's presentation format will follow a similar structure to that of the prior, where I will be taking us through the executive summary and a comprehensive update on our strategic direction before handing over to Terri to take us through the financial review and category performance. Finally, I will conclude the presentation with some comments on the outlook for the new financial year. Starting with the executive summary. The group achieved a significant improvement in trading performance and cash flow generation during the second half of the year This was driven by an increase in capacity utilization, production efficiencies, cost and price management, as well as focused capital allocation. In addition to being aided by the start of the implementation of our strategic direction, following a comprehensive review by the board and the management team at the start of the year. Looking at the graphs in the middle of the slide, revenue growth in the second half accelerated to 6.2% from 4% in the first half to end the year 5.2% up on the prior year. That was driven by the second half outperformance and accelerated revenue growth from the retail export, as well as the contract manufacturing channels. Gross profit margin in the second half was recorded at 21.4%, not only reflecting an improvement on the first half result of 20%, but also above the prior corresponding periods. The group margin ended at 20.8%, which is 10 basis points above the prior year. This accelerated revenue growth, as well as the improvement in gross profit margins, assisted us in achieving a growth in normalized EBITDA of 10.6% in the second half of the year, following a decline of 18% in the first half to end the year 3.3% down. The group's borrowing costs increased by 50% as a function of the higher interest rate environment. Notwithstanding this, it is pleasing to have reported an increase in normalized headline earnings per share growth that excludes insurance proceeds of 29% in the second half, relative to the decline in the first half. The year-end resulting HEPS being down by 11.2%. The group's concerted efforts around focused capital allocation contributed to an increase in our cash conversion during the second half of the year, up to 70.1%, to end the year at 65.2%, which is above our internal targets. The gearing ratio peaked at 2.1 x normalized EBITDA at the mid-year point, but reduced significantly to the year end, ending at 1.6 x normalized EBITDA, which is in line with the prior year. The interest cover ratio, although impacted by the increased borrowing costs, was above the lender covenant significantly. In terms of our existing dividend policy, the board has declared a dividend of ZAR 0.15 per share. Looking at the highlights included in this set of results, the HPC segment delivered a sustainable improvement, delivering ZAR 20 million in operating profit following a loss in the prior year. In terms of our category performance, the wet condiments category and baked goods performed very well in the retail channel, and the food service channel was assisted by an increase in out-of-home consumption. After a period of significant capital investment by the business over a number of years, which has assisted us in being able to sustain our service levels to our key customers. The group has now refocused its capital allocation towards maintenance, quality and food safety projects. As such, we ended the year at the low end at 2% of revenue on CapEx. Finally, controllable cost inflation was mitigated to a 2% increase, which included a significant reduction in the central office cost structures. Moving on to the challenges. Those in attendance would be very well aware of the macroeconomic challenges facing the sector, and as such, I won't be spending too much time on that. Safe to note that elevated manufacturing input cost inflation persisted for most of the year. In terms of our critical inputs, milk inflation peaked at 16%. That's a 12-month rolling figure at mid-year and moderated to 12% at the end of the year, albeit still significantly above the published CPI rate. The group contended with and continued to contend with the direct as well as the indirect impacts of not only load shedding, but port congestion, which impacted our year-end stock holdings, which we'll cover later on in the presentation. In the first half, we experienced significantly weak demand for contract manufactured wet condiments. We saw the annualized or the full period effect of the supply localization strategies that were implemented by some of our key customers in the U.S. region. Fortunately, we've been able to, on both of those accounts, deliver an improved result in the second half of the year with a normalization in contract manufactured wet condiments demand, as well as a normalization in our export orders. This slide shows the direct impact of load shedding on the business, with the table on the left-hand side showing that the irregularity and the severity of load shedding moderated slightly in the second half of the year relative to the start of the year and the prior year. Notwithstanding this, the group has continued to invest in generation capacity to sustain electricity supply. So that number up at the bottom of the slide to ZAR 19.3 million in the year, up from ZAR 13.1 million. The operational cost of these generators increased in the year from ZAR 39.2 million in the prior year to ZAR 76.5 million. That is just in context [audio distortion]. Industrial and contract manufacturing. Looking at the full year picture, retail and wholesale revenue increased by 7.7%, with a volume decline of 2.8% and a price mix contribution of 10.5%. As I mentioned, the food service channel outperformed the total full-year performance of 8.7% in revenue, volumes up 2.4%, and a price mix contribution of 6.3%, slightly moderating in terms of revenue growth during the second half of the year. Exports grew by 6.6% in terms of revenue, with full year volumes down 7.5% and a price mix contribution of 14.1%, which was largely driven by the depreciation of the rand against major world currencies. I do note, however, that the export volumes increased by one percentage point in the second half of the year, supporting my earlier statement regarding the normalization of export orders. Looking at the right-hand side of the slide, the retail and wholesale channel now contributes 58.9% of group revenue, with the outperformance by food service increasing its contribution to 20.2% from 19.6% in the prior year. Strategically, it remains important for the group to continue to increase its export-facing contribution. I'll allude to some of the initiatives later on in the presentation. Starting with what we as a management team believe is the most important message that we want to share with you this morning. Just to remind everyone that at the midyear point, we communicated that the board with the management team had taken time to understand the opportunities around the portfolio composition, the operating model, our channel and category growth opportunities, as well as ways in which to improve our operational efficiencies and cash flows. Under the banner of simplification, growth, and sustainability, the strategy will deliver a cost-competitive business with an improvement in earnings quality and return on invested capital. Looking at the detail behind this and starting with the simplification theme, the group has made progress to exit the HPC segment, notwithstanding the fact that we saw the outperformance of that segment in the 2023 year. That is, as the group refocuses its strategy towards value-added food categories. The process is underway. We are working towards and targeting completion this year. That will add 50 basis points to the group's return on invested capital. The group is also implementing various integrations of business units and product lines. This optimization of the operating model will change the operating structures from a divisional-based structure to a category-based structure comprising two super categories, namely Perishable Products and Ambient Products. In alignment with this category approach going forward, the baking and baking aids, as well as the snacks and confectionery segments, will be reported under the Ambient Product banner from 2024. Going further into the detail of these respective categories, the Millennium Foods division has been operating successfully under the leadership structure of LANCEWOOD since the start of 2022. Now, in addition, the sales, marketing, HR, and administrative teams of Finlar Fine Foods will be integrated with LANCEWOOD by the close of 2024. This integration not only mitigates competitive risk but also serves to improve margins through cost efficiency and shared resourcing. We will accelerate our initiatives to develop the key channels of exports, our informal and wholesale market development, as well as our food service basket offering. Just to comment on the mitigation of competitor risk, Finlar is now a fully accredited manufacturing facility to supply value-added meat products to the Saudi region. That accreditation in February of this year. It's making progress to increase its local production for its key QSR, as well as retail customers. Moving on to the Ambient Products category. The integration of the sales, marketing, and administrative functions of Cape Herb & Spice and Khoisan was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023. Khoisan's manufacturing facility, the single manufacturing facility, will be exited when the lease terminates in 2027. The dry condiment private label production lines of Retailer Brands have now been shifted into and moved into Cape as recently as last week. These two integrations not only leverage our existing sales and marketing expertise within our largest export-facing division, but also serves to improve our margins through existing procurement as well as manufacturing capabilities residing within our Cape Foods business. Moving on from dry condiments to wet condiments. The Montagu Foods, as well as the Cecil Vinegar Works divisions, outperformed in retail wet condiments during the year, as I mentioned earlier. Whilst the Dickon Hall Foods division contributed to earnings volatility in this category via the weak demand for those same wet condiments for contract manufactured customers. As such, a full-scale functional and operational consolidation of these units will be undertaken during the year in order to improve the cost competitiveness and the earning stability of the wet condiments category as a whole. Our Retailer Brands business, which is currently the single largest wholesale market-facing division, will be integrated into components of these businesses as well as the dry condiments category, as I mentioned earlier, ensuring that we chip away at the further growth opportunities available in the wholesale market with that basket already exceeding market growth in 2023. Staying with the Ambient Products category, the Ambient Products food service basket offering is currently largely concentrated in the Rialto and Amaro Foods businesses. As such, under dedicated leadership, we are planning to extend our ranges beyond these divisions, in existing as well as new customer bases in the year ahead. Looking at the end game, the end structure, and starting with the leadership structures, Cornél Lodewyks has been appointed to lead the Ambient Products category going forward, and in the coming months, we will make an appointment of the Ambient Products managing executives. By the end of 2024, the group will have significantly simplified its operating structure with significantly fewer individually managed businesses, individually managed sales and marketing, HR, and administrative teams. Moving on to our sustainability theme. The group has earmarked at least seven sites for solar installations, targeting 10-year savings of ZAR 40 million in terms of its existing power purchase agreements. Two of those installations to commence in this first half of the year. From a capital allocation perspective, the group will continue to focus on quality and frugal innovation projects in order to drive the execution of the strategy, but CapEx will remain this year at the lower end of the guidance, following a number of years of above-average investment. At this point in time, our networking capital levels remain elevated. That's a function of the port congestion. We've had some difficulty in securing imported raw materials as well as the increase at year-end of our goods-in-transit inventory holding due to the lack of stacking dates. That contributed ZAR 75 million to our end-of-year networking capital number. In terms of our sustainability practices, we are continuing to target a reduction in our carbon footprint as well as water and electricity savings that have been planned for this year. In addition, we'll continue to execute on our BEE strategy, which is to sustainably increase our BEE scorecard. Before I hand over to Terri, just in terms of the road map for implementation, we share with you the targets that were shared at the interim results presentation, with three of the four of those having been achieved, namely the reduction of the capital expenditure through focused capital allocation, the formalization of the divestment mandates. The progress there on, as well as the scoping of these significant operating model changes. In this year, we will be focusing on continuing to strengthen the balance sheet as well as to consider share repurchases, which we said we would start to consider once gearing dips below 1.5 x, finalizing our execution of our divestment and our simplification strategy. From the start of 2025, we will have a business which is ready to deliver on our 2027 ambition, which is to return our return on invested capital to the 15.5% mark. We will be targeting an improvement in 2024 of at least 50 basis points. Thanks for listening. Over to you, Terri. Thank you, Charl. Looking at the face of the income statement, revenue is up 5.2%, driven by a 4.8% volume decline and a 10% price mix movement, as mentioned by Charl. Our gross profit margin increased by 0.1 percentage points from 20.7% to 20.8%. Other income increased from ZAR 83.2 million to ZAR 146 million in the period, driven by ZAR 120 million of insurance proceeds received compared to ZAR 37 million received in the prior period. Impairment losses of ZAR 143 million against Denny Mushrooms and Khoisan were recognized in the current period. The impairment in Denny Mushrooms was driven by the decision not to reinstate Shongweni after the fire that occurred at the end of 2022. The impairment in Khoisan was driven by the prolonged weak international demand for bulk tea. These impairments compare to the impairment losses of ZAR 296 million recorded in the prior period. Operating expenses have increased by 2% on the prior period, contained well below inflation. The normalized operating profit and normalized EBITDA were slightly down on the prior year by 1.7% and 3.3% respectively. It is important to note that the normalized operating profit and normalized EBITDA do not include the insurance proceeds, as our normalization policy was amended to exclude this. The group's finance costs increased as a result of increased interest rates, with the average repo rate increasing by 2.5 percentage points from 5.4% in 2022 to 7.9% in 2023. The group's effective tax rate of 26.7% compares to 107.7% of the prior year, with the prior year more heavily impacted by impairments which resulted in a significant difference to the statutory rate. From a balance sheet perspective, as Charl mentioned, our net working capital days as a percentage of revenue increased from 16% to 17%. This was driven by an increase in inventory days and a reduction in creditors' days. The increase in inventory days was largely driven by a ZAR 75 million increase in our goods in transit, as well as the impact of rising input costs and the impact of the weak demand for bulk tea. While the group remains committed to the target range of 14%-16%, the current supply chain disruptions, driven largely by the congestion in the South African ports, will likely delay the return to this target as the group prioritizes its service delivery to its customers. Moving to the right-hand side of the slide, the group continued to focus on containing capital expenditure, which is down 36.4% to ZAR 244.6 million spent in the period, which was 2% of revenue, again aligned at the lower end of our target range of between 2% and 3%. Looking at the contribution to the total CapEx, this was split between replacement and maintenance projects, expansion and capacity enhancing projects, and quality and improvement projects. Of our capacity enhancing projects, the groups incurred ZAR 85 million in the period. Part of that was ZAR 16 million to finalize the flatbread line at Amaro Foods. In LANCEWOOD, ZAR 23 million was incurred for the yogurt plant capacity as well as ZAR 17 million for hard cheese packing facility upgrades. In Finlar Fine Foods, ZAR 17 million was incurred for machinery and line upgrades for the value-added chicken facilities. From a quality and improvement perspective, ZAR 22 million was invested in fire safety at LANCEWOOD and a sprinkler system upgrade in Household and Personal Care. While as mentioned, we continue to invest ZAR 19 million in our electricity generation. Looking at our key financial ratios, our gearing ratio remained flat with the prior year at 1.6 x normalized EBITDA, which was down from the 2.1 x recorded at H1. Our interest cover ratio reduced from the prior year, but is well ahead of our lender covenant of 3.5 x. Our return on invested capital decreased from 10.4% in the prior period to 9.8%, which was an improvement from the H1 return on invested capital of 8%. Cash preservation continues to be a key priority of the group, increasing from 58% in H1 to 70% in H2, resulting in a full year 65% for the period, in line with our target of 65 or greater, as shown in the bottom left graph. Looking at the cash flow analysis on the right-hand side, cash generated from operations increased by ZAR 32 million in the period, with working capital charges increasing from ZAR 277 million to ZAR 285 million, while our net finance costs increased by ZAR 110 million due to the increased interest rates. This resulted in the decrease of cash generated from operating activities from ZAR 528 million in the prior period to ZAR 414 million in the current year. Investment activities reduced from ZAR 388 million to ZAR 80 million due to the reduction in capital expenditure, insurance proceeds received, and the acquisition in the prior year of Cape Foods. Our financing activities reduced from ZAR 484 million to ZAR 386 million, driven by reduced lease payments and a reduction in repayment of term debt facilities compared to the prior year. Facilities of ZAR 1.2 billion remain available to the group. Moving on to the category review and starting with the underlying EBITDA margin performance. All categories have shown an improvement in H2, with the exception of snacks and confectionery. The two largest categories of perishables and groceries both improved in H2 by over two percentage points, with perishables ending on 7.3%, which was below their 2023 target, and groceries ending on 11%, which was in line with their 2023 target due to the significant recoveries in the retail and export channels. Snacks and confectionery and baking and baking aids both ended below their targets on 14.1% and 8.9% respectively, while the turnaround in the Household and Personal Care Division resulted in an above-target final result of 6.5%. These margins will be unpacked further in the following slides. Starting with perishables, our largest category contributing 50% to the group, which showed a 4.5% revenue increase during the period. Retail and wholesale increased by 4.2%, which was muted due to the decreased volumes in Denny, as well as decreased promotional activity in the dairy category. Food service increased by 7.2%, driven by dairy products. Volumes are down 5.3%, driven by reduced retail volumes and despite the raw material increase and significant load shedding costs, the gross profit margin remained flat on the prior year at 18.7%. Normalized EBITDA reduced by 9.2% to end the year at ZAR 452.7 million at an EBITDA margin of 7.3%, which was down 1.1 percentage points on the prior period. The return on net asset value reduced by 2.8 percentage points to end at 10.6%. Groceries, our second-largest category, contributing 31% to the group, increased by 7% during the year. This was driven by strong performance in the retail and wholesale channel of 17.8%. This was impacted by the Cape Foods acquisition, which had a full year effect in the current year, as well as increased volumes in the wet condiments divisions. Exports were up by 7.5%, again impacted by the full year impact of Cape Foods' acquisition and driven by the devaluation of the rand, despite the decreased volumes in Cape Herb & Spice due to the annualized impact of the customer localization strategies. There was a significant decline in industrial and contract manufacturing, driven by a volume decline in wet condiments out of Dickon Hall Foods. Lastly, a strong performance in food service of 12.9%, driven by Rialto across both foods and packaging. Overall, volumes were down 3.9%, driven by Cape Herb & Spice and Dickon Hall Foods, which outweighed the volume gains in the other divisions. Notwithstanding the under recovery of the manufacturing overheads out of Dickon Hall Foods, the gross profit margin increased by 0.3 percentage points to 23.7%. Normalized EBITDA reduced by 4.2% to ZAR 423.2 million for the period at a margin of 11%, which was down 1.2 percentage points on the prior year. The return on net assets reduced by 1.7 percentage points to 16.3%. Baking and baking aids, which contributes 9% to the group, saw revenue increase by 13.9%, with a strong performance in retail and wholesale and food service, the largest channels in the category. This growth was driven by Amaro Foods and Cani Rusks, with volume growth of 2.4% attributable to the recovery in volumes in H2, where volumes were down in H1 at 1.9%. The gross profit margin improvement in both Amaro Foods and Cani Rusks compensated for the margin pressure found in Retailer Brands and contributed to an increase in GP margin of 0.4 percentage points to 25.6%. The Normalized EBITDA was up 13.9% to end the year at ZAR 94.1 million at a flat margin of 8.9%. Return on net assets increased by 4.1 percentage points to end the year at 11.9% as the Amaro Foods wrap facility started yielding returns in the latter half of the year. Snacks and confectionery, which contributes 4% to the group, saw a decline in revenue of 9.7%, which was impacted by the Kellogg's Pringles manufacturing contract that was terminated in the prior year. Excluding this and looking only at the performance of Ambassador Foods, revenue declined by 2.1%. Volumes were impacted by a decrease in promotional activity and consumers moving to more affordable snacking alternatives. This change in sales mix could not offset the reduction in volumes. The gross profit margin declined by 11 percentage points to 19.5%. If we only look at the Ambassador Foods margin, there was a decline of 2.5 percentage points. Normalized EBITDA reduced by 31% to end the year at ZAR 72.1 million at an EBITDA margin of 14.1%, and the return on net assets decreased by 5.2 percentage points to end the year at 16.1%. Lastly, looking at Household and Personal Care, which contributes 6% to group revenue, with an increase of 2.5% in the period. As previously discussed, volumes decreased due to the discontinuation of unprofitable lines. Grouped with the procurement savings and production efficiencies, there was a 5.1 percentage points increase in the gross profit margin to end the year at 16.4%. Normalized EBITDA increased by over 200% from ZAR 12.4 million in the prior period to ZAR 47.8 million at an EBITDA margin of 6.5%. Return on net assets increased by 13.4 percentage points to end the year at 7.2%. On this slide, we give a view of the performance based on the new category structure. Perishable Products, which comprises the existing perishable category, achieved 7.3% normalized EBITDA margin, and the 2024 target is to achieve between 9%-11%. Ambient Products, which comprises the existing groceries, snacks and confectionery, and baking and baking aids category, achieved 10.9% with a target to achieve between 11%-13% for 2024. Below this, we have provided the category performance in detail, which will set the base for the 2024 comparatives. We note that these categories exclude Household and Personal Care and the corporate costs. I'll now hand back to Charl to take us through the outlook. Thank you, Terri. To conclude our presentation of this morning before we take some questions, a few comments on our outlook for the new financial year. In terms of macroeconomic factors, we continue to expect the challenges of 2023 to persist into 2024, although we have noted the moderation in certain key inputs, noting also that they remain elevated in the context of CPI. Looking at the trading in the first eight weeks of the year post year-end, revenue growth has moderated following a reduction in food service channel revenue based on not only the base effects of the prior, but also intensified competitor activity, although we do note the improvement in contract manufacturing demand relative to the prior year. Most importantly, directly aligned to our ambition for this year, our margin improvements that were delivered in the second half of the year have been sustained into that eight-week period. Relative terms, continuing to see the trend in margin improvement. Looking at the key opportunities of this financial year, now that the integration of our export-facing businesses is complete and export orders have stabilized to their new base, we will be targeting significant opportunities in meat, dry, and wet condiments, noting again that we are now accredited to supply the Saudi region. We will also continue to see some benefit from the weakening rand against other major currencies. In terms of other channel development opportunities, I mentioned earlier that our food basket offering will be expanded within particularly the Ambient Products category, but also as a function of the integrations currently underway within the perishables category. Whilst we will continue to build on the positive momentum around wholesale market development in the prior year. Our key priorities for the year are to sustain our GP margin improvements through changes in product mix, production efficiencies, effective cost and price management, as well as the investment and portfolio simplification strategy. Our capital allocation will remain focused towards the lower end of the guidance whilst we continue to strengthen the balance sheet and earn the right to consider those share repurchases at attractive valuations. The simplified structure will assist us in improving our cost competitiveness, earnings quality, and return on invested capital. We have the teams in place, the plans are in execution phase. We are ready to build on the momentum that was created in the second half of last year. Thank you for listening, and please stay with us for a few questions.

Thank you, Charl and Terri, for taking us through the presentation. We will now open the floor for any questions that you may have. We are allocating 30 minutes to that. We'll first start with some questions from the floor, then move to our conference call participants, and lastly, facilitate questions from our webcast guests. Our panelists on the stage include Charl, Terri, and Cornél Lodewyks, Executive Director and newly appointed Managing Executive of the Perishables product category. To our audience attending, please indicate by the show of your hand if you have any questions. We have a roving mic that we will be handing to you. Please also note that if we run out of time, and don't get to everybody's questions during this session, we will record all questions, post it online and get back to you individually. On those who are here in person, please feel free to reach out to the team and the panelists afterwards. We've concluded this session. Right. Let's get started. Are there any questions from the audience attending? Yes. Hi, good day. Thanks. I've got a two-parter here. On the first question, you say part of the working capital increase was due to the port issues and exporting there. Have you seen any alleviation in that since December and January, February from that December number? Secondly, on a more strategic level, we've seen retailers who have embraced private label more enthusiastically, and they're vertically integrating. They're doing much better. Do you see any logic or trend of larger players trying to bring more brands in-house in a way? Right. Let me take that one. Sure. To answer your first question, we have not seen any alleviation in the ports, specifically in Cape Town. For the last two months, it has continued to affect the business. Yes. Thank you. If you can just maybe repeat the question, asking more players into the market on the private label? Sorry. Sorry. No, I'm just saying that retailers are seeing more strength in private label specifically, and they're starting to vertically integrate. I was wondering if management had any comment on whether some of the bigger players, whether in food producers or retailers, are looking to bring more brands in-house. Well, I suppose there will always be If private label is growing, and it is growing extremely strong, double-digit growth for the last five years. I think there will always be an opportunity to participate, but it will depend on whether you are geared to do that. I think from a Libstar point of view, we have our brand solutions, and we work very closely with our retailers. We also understand the retail landscape in terms of participating brands within the categories. It is a bit of a difficult question to answer outright, but the possibility is there exactly. I can maybe add Libstar's DNA is the fact that we back private label. Our effort to support, to be aligned with the strategies of our retail partners. Charl mentioned the fact that we will approach the future in a category way of looking. Also brands, we look at Libstar brands, even private label and own brands as b asically the same. We nurture those as it is our own properties. Like I mentioned, we do that to align with our partners and obviously for our competitors, I suppose. Retailer Brands, it is attractive because it is growing. Any other questions? We don't seem to have any additional questions from the webcast at this point in time. Just in terms of CapEx guidance, you said towards the lower end of that 2%-3% range. Just for modeling purposes, we put a low bit of inflationary growth on revenue, as you said, it is moderated. Then go on the lower end, that is rough. We can work with that. You want more specifics or just confirming, yes. I think it's important to understand that, as I said, we've gone through a period of significant capital investment, we're not under-investing in the business. In fact, our investment in our hard cheese packing facilities, our investment in convenience meals, our investments in the wrap lines and other smaller projects have contributed to us being able to continue to supply. That seems to be a problem elsewhere, but we're fortunate to have invested ahead of this, and able to supply. That's why we are able to now focus on more value-accretive smaller projects, efficiency-based projects. Sorry. Maybe a bit more of a tougher one. Now that [Access] has been acquired by [ACEF], have you guys heard any new information regarding that or any comment regarding them? No. Nothing has changed from our perspective. Yes. Hi. Could you please elaborate on efforts to fill in the additional capacity that was brought into Amaro Foods? As Terri mentioned, we've been expanding our customer base into new QSR customers. That did happen. We've been filling pipelines and increasing our volumes on that front. We still continue to see tremendous growth in demand within the retail channel as well as within our existing QSR customers. We're starting to consider some export opportunities as well, where the first container will actually leave in this first quarter to the Middle Eastern region in terms of frozen product. Definitely starting to see the benefit from that capital expenditure. Thank you, Charl. I do have a question from an online question. What is the corporate cost for 2023? How should we think about that line going forward? Can I take that question? Terri, you must keep me honest here, but the corporate cost reduced from about ZAR 115 million-ZAR 116 million to about ZAR 100 million on a normalized basis. We've always said that we want to be a lean center. We support the two operating categories that should be fully functional. We're not looking to implement a centralized operating structure by any means. However, rolling out the strategy may require some investment in terms of systems as well as talent development. We will be quite hesitant to increase the cost extensively beyond the current levels. Thank you, Charl. Okay, perhaps another question from the audience. Well, I thought you should maybe keep the mic. All right. Okay. The other question. Yeah. There we go. You spoke about earning the right to get share buybacks at a gearing of below 1.5. Do you guys see yourself on target for that to reduce that debt? I mean, it's a net debt semi or total debt semi-flat. Do you guys see yourself on target to do that via the reduction of debt? We are on target to reduce our gearing to below 1.5, all things considered, by the end of the year or in the second half of the year. If the share price remains as it is, which we believe is undervalued, we will be considering the share repurchase. Okay. Thank you, Terri. No more questions from the audience. That seems that concludes our Q&A session. Please note that the management team will be available for meetings next week. Should you like to set up time for further discussions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to reach out. All our contact details are on our website. We thank you once again for your time and attention today. We appreciate your continued support, and please join us for some refreshments outside. Thank you and take care.
