ADvTECH earnings growth

ADvTECH Group, Africa’s largest private education provider, expects earnings growth of as much as 19% for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025, reinforcing its position as a leading education company on the African continent.

In a voluntary trading statement, the company indicated that its basic normalised earnings per share (NEPS), headline earnings per share (HEPS), and earnings per share (EPS) for the year ended December 31, 2025, are expected to increase between 14% and 19%. This translates to a range of R2.30–R2.41 per share, up from R2.03 (NEPS), R2.02 (HEPS), and R2.02(EPS) in the prior year.

Earnings adjusted for one-off costs
ADvTECH reports normalized earnings per share to provide a clearer view of operating performance by excluding one-off items and corporate action costs. The measure allows investors to better assess the company’s underlying profitability as it continues expanding its private education footprint.

The Johannesburg-listed education group surpassed the $1 billion valuation mark in 2025 and is now approaching a market value of nearly $1.5 billion. With a current valuation of about R22.9 billion ($1.37 billion), ADvTECH ranks among the most valuable education companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

Enrollment growth supports earnings outlook
Strong student enrollment continues to support ADvTECH’s growth strategy.

The company said enrollment for the 2026 academic year remains on track and continues to rise in line with recent trends.

ADvTECH operates a large network of private schools, tertiary institutions and skills development centers across South Africa, benefiting from rising demand for high-quality private education.

Results expected later in March
The company expects to release its audited financial results for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 on or around March 23, 2026, through the JSE’s Stock Exchange News Service (SENS).

Management said the trading update reflects current expectations and may change once the final audited results are completed.

The guidance signals another year of steady expansion for ADvTECH as it continues investing in private education infrastructure and capitalizing on growing demand across South Africa’s education sector.
