UPD's total managed turnover, combining wholesale turnover and turnover managed on behalf of bulk distribution clients, declined by 6.3%. Wholesale turnover was 0.8% lower owing mainly to the impact of the systems transition at UPD's main distribution centre in the early stages of the 2024 financial year. Wholesale turnover has improved as the systems have stabilised, increasing by 6.9% for the six weeks to 14 January 2024.

Group turnover for the period increased by 8.0% (2023: 2.9%) to ZAR 16.8 billion.
