Uchumi Supermarkets has posted a rare profit of Sh8.8 million for the year ended June 2025, largely driven by rental income from tenants such as China Square, offering reprieve for the debt-laden retailer, which has been struggling to regain stability.
Management accounts disclosed under the company voluntary arrangement (CVA) show that the net profit was from a loss of Sh49.7 million disclosed in the audited accounts for the year ended June 2024. The Sh8.8 million profit was, however, below the Sh12.85 million that had been targeted.
