Prosus N.V. (Prosus) (AEX and JSE: PRX): On 2 March 2023, Prosus announced that the core classifieds business of OLX Group continues to deliver a strong performance through the financial year, with sustained growth and improving profitability, and is well-placed for further growth and margin expansion. Most recently, OLX Autos, the adjacent car transaction business has, similar to listed peers, been affected by ongoing macroeconomic and market challenges. Higher cost of capital, high inflation and reversal of pandemic trends have led to a significant and persistent slowdown in the second-hand car market.
