The group spent R4.5 million (2023: R2.6 million) on capital expenditure and paid dividends totalling R26.9 million (2023: R20.2 million) to its equity holders and non-controlling interest holders.

AME, a South African electrical and automation company, reported a robust financial performance for the first half of its fiscal year, showcasing double-digit growth. The company's revenue increased by 17% to R2.1 billion, while operating profit surged by 33% to R178 million. This growth was driven by strong demand in its core markets, particularly in mining, industrial, and renewable energy sectors.

Despite facing challenges like supply chain disruptions and rising costs, AME managed to enhance its operational efficiency and expand its market share, positioning itself well for future growth.
