Additionally, the impairment of the investment in Konkola Copper Mines Plc amounting to K218 million increased the recorded operating loss during the year.
  • The Group recorded a positive share of profit from equity accounted investee companies of K 689 million (2017: loss K 189 million). This movement represents 464% increase.
  • Profit after tax was K 975 million (2017: K 729 million).
  • The Group’s total assets increased by 13% from K9, 579 million (2017) to K10, 865 million (2018) on account of increase in the net assets of investee companies whose performance continued to improve during the year.
