Zeda Limited, Africa's leading integrated mobility solutions provider and operator of the globally recognised Avis and Budget brands, has today released its interim results, declaring a cash dividend for its shareholders for the first time since its JSE listing. The interim results showcase strong topline growth and cash generation.



More than a year since it was listed independently, the Zeda board declared a gross interim dividend of 50 cents per share, following an amendment to its dividend policy. The Group achieved a double-digit topline growth (19%), reaching a new record level revenue of R5 270 million. Meanwhile, an EBITDA growth (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortisation) of 7.5% was accrued in the face of a stagnant economy, softening used car market, and rising interest rates and fuel costs.
