Inside WeBuyCars’ FY25 Earnings: R26 Billion Revenue, R937 Million Profit

Some companies grow. Others shift gears and redefine what growth can look like. WeBuyCars did just that. 

Spotlight on WeBuyCars

When WeBuyCars listed on the JSE Main Board in April 2024, it was a big moment for the founders and for every retail investor who saw themselves in a South African success story. One built from grit, customer obsession, and the simple idea that buying or selling your car shouldn’t feel like a gamble.

A year later, the story’s turning into something bigger: proof that scale and soul can share the same road. 

Financial Results & Earnings

For the year ended 30 September 2025, WeBuyCars delivered results that show a business firing on all cylinders — disciplined, cash-generative, and still deeply connected to the people who power it.

• Revenue up 13.1% to R26.38 billion
  
  

• More cars, more trust
  Vehicles bought: 180 576 (+7.7%)
  Vehicles sold: 179 006 (+8.4%)
  
  
• Headline earnings per share (HEPS) and earnings per share (EPS) both more than doubled, reaching 224 cents per share
  
  
• Core headline earnings, the company’s measure of operational strength, grew 15.0% to R937.6 million.

Building, Expanding, Delivering

WeBuyCars isn’t just selling more cars; it’s building a bigger ecosystem around how South Africans buy and sell.

• 23 new buying pods opened, now 106 nationwide.
  
  

• 12 911 parking bays in operation.
  
  

• New or expanded outlets in Rustenburg, Vereeniging, George, Polokwane, Mbombela, and more.
  
  

• Record months with over 15 000 units sold, peaking at 16 294 in November 2024.

Sharing the Wins

This year, shareholders saw the reward of that steady growth — a 60 cent total dividend, split between interim and final payments of 30 cents each.

The Road Ahead

WeBuyCars is chasing momentum that matters — operational excellence, happy customers, and sustainable profitability.

And that’s what makes it such a powerful part of South Africa’s investing story.

For many Easy investors, this is a reminder that our market is capable of creating home-grown giants, built with South African insight, run by founders who still care about the details, and fuelled by a community that believes in backing local brilliance.

Keeping the Conversation Going

Our investor community thrives on access, not just to numbers, but to the people and ideas shaping them.

That’s why we recently sat down with the CEO of Optasia on the very day the company listed on the JSE, a front-row view into another fast-growing business redefining fintech in emerging markets.

And, if you missed it, we also hosted our very own Charles Savage for a deep dive into Purple Group’s FY25 results, unpacking the milestones, mindset, and future focus of the EasyEquities ecosystem.
