Sasini Rebounds to Profit

Sasini Rebounds, But Challenges Remain By Harry Njuguna

Sasini Plc returned to profitability in FY2025 ended September 30^th , reporting a net profit of KSh 188Mn after a KSh 562.9Mn loss a year earlier, as stronger coffee and macadamia prices lifted revenue to a record KSh8.44Bn.

• The rebound marked a sharp earnings swing, but underlying cash flow and cost dynamics point to a recovery still heavily dependent on pricing rather than structural margin improvement.

• Revenue rose 22.5% year on year, extending a post-Covid surge that has seen sales double from KSh4.15Bn in 2020.

• Over a longer horizon, revenue has expanded more than 35 times from about KSh0.24Bn in the early 1990s.

That growth,  has been uneven, with prolonged stagnant phases, including 2000–2008 below KSh1Bn and 2009–2015 largely under KSh3Bn, due to the group’s exposure to commodity cycles.

While Sasini has recorded losses in only seven years over nearly four decades, FY2025 reinforces a familiar pattern: profits recover sharply when prices turn favorable, but persistent cost intensity and volatile cash flows continue to constrain the durability of those gains.

Eyes on Tehran : Why Iranians are Unhappy 

By Chelsy Maina

Iran begins 2026 not with ceremony but with crisis, as a collapsing currency and soaring food prices push discontent from Tehran’s boulevards into provincial towns. Shops shutter not in protest of ideology but of survival, merchants unwilling to sell goods at a loss that rises by the hour. Wages stagnate while inflation devours savings, turning ordinary life into an exercise in arithmetic and endurance. Across the country, the cracks in the social contract widen, and government reassurances ring hollow against the din of hunger and uncertainty.
