Aveng enjoys first interim headline profit since 2014 One of the few infrastructure firms left standing, it saw a R314m improvement in headline earnings end-December 2020 BL PREMIUM
UPDATED 23 February 2021 - 13:52
Infrastructure and resources group Aveng has swung into an interim headline profit for the first time since 2014, largely due to state support and a resilient market in Australia, and is upbeat about its ability to win new contracts after years of intense focus on its core businesses.
Aveng is among a few infrastructure companies left standing after an industry-wide slump led to the collapse of peers such as Group Five and Basil Read, thanks to its geographic diversification and sharper focus on providing services to mines.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South African construction and resources company Aveng aims to raise 300 million rand ($20 million) through a fully co-underwritten rights offer to restructure its balance sheet and deleverage, the firm said on Tuesday.
Aveng said restructuring its balance sheet would allow the group to reset its capital structure by deleveraging its balance sheet by more than 1 billion rand.
It would also extend its debt maturity profile to three years and materially improve the group’s South African liquidity pool.
The company will issue up to 20 billion ordinary no par value shares, and as many class A shares as may be required to be issued to the underwriters of the rights offer in the place of ordinary shares, it said in a statement.
