4Sight Holdings has reported robust financial results for the financial year ended 28 February 2026, including a 16,3% increase in revenue to R1 163,5-million and operating profit growth of 45,8% to R71,7-million, as enterprise customers increasingly embed artificial intelligence (AI) into core business and operational processes to boost productivity and agility, and gain a competitive advantage.
“The main contributions to the increase in margin are our revenue mix, and a lower contribution from operational expenses, giving us the leverage on the margin achieved through internal efficiency gains. We embraced AI to boost output and make our existing resources more effective,” says Eric van der Merwe, group chief financial officer at 4Sight Holdings.
“With AI tool utilisation rising within 4Sight, company productivity is higher than ever, with headcount increasing by just 50 in the period under review.”
“Through 4Sight Automated Intelligence (4AI), we are delivering AI solutions that transform the way our customers operate, compete and grow,” affirms Tertius Zitzke, Group Chief Executive Officer at 4Sight Holdings.
“At 4Sight, we believe the future of industry is intelligent, connected, and autonomous. Across smart mining, smart industry, and smart manufacturing, we are enabling our clients to transition from traditional operations to AI-led, cloud-first enterprises—designed for resilience, efficiency, and sustainable growth.”
Additional standout results include:
- A 20% increase in cash from operations from R31-million to R37,2-million
- A 34,7% increase in basic earnings per share from 7.343 to 9.890 cents per share
- A 46,1% increase in headline earnings per share from 7.345 to 10.732 cents per share
- A 17,2% increase in net asset value per share to 73.4 cents per share
The company’s strategic acquisition of XFour in the previous financial year was a major contributor to performance, as XFour exceeded the earn-out target by 64% in terms of the agreement. The leadership of XFour is now leading the Human Capital within 4Sight and all staff are fully integrated.
“The main driver was the high adoption of XFour’s 4edge secure, POPIA-compliant WhatsApp delivery platform, which enables companies to facilitate various processes via the desktop and phone app, including sales, marketing, and HR,” explains Zitzke.
“We see major future growth in this area of the business as more companies embrace this pervasive and embedded messaging platform. Within emerging market like Africa. these self-service solutions allow every level of the workforce to effectively and easily engage with all HR functionality in any organisation.”
Van der Merwe confirms that revenue was up across all four clusters. “The data division, which provides data solutions for tier 1 customers, made the biggest contribution to the Business Environment (BE) cluster’s 15,5% boost in revenue and 89% rise in profit before tax.
“The fundamental role that sanitised and well-structured data plays in the adoption and application of AI in any business will continue to drive growth in this cluster,” asserts Zitzke. “This transformation is not incremental – it is foundational. Organisations today must reimagine how data, systems, and operations come together to create value. That is why our strategy is anchored in the convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) to connect assets, systems, and people into a unified, intelligent ecosystem.
“However, the OT cluster delivered a slight increase (7.1%) in revenue, despite a tough trading environment in the mining sector, and the order book is increasing in line with the recovery in resource prices,” says van der Merwe.
Following an increase in business partners across the EMEA region, the Channel Partner (CP) cluster continues to build on a strong business model.
“The CP cluster saw revenue rise by more than 20% in dollar terms and 15.2% in rand this financial year due to a weaker greenback. However, profit did not increase in line with this performance, mainly due to constraints on margins in a competitive resellers market,” adds van der Merwe. “Our current focus is on providing better support to resellers to maintain current margins.”
4Sight Holdings declared a final ordinary gross cash dividend of 3.0 cents per share for the financial year.
