Kathmandu sales year to date to 24 June 2018 are 7.7% above last year. In addition, Kathmandu gross profit
margin is 240 bps (2.4%) above last year due to improved full price sell through, and a higher average

Kathmandu’s Chief Executive Officer Xavier Simonet commented, “Our second half so far has been strong
across both Australia and New Zealand, with Australia experiencing double digit same store sales growth.
The Autumn season and the start of our key Winter promotion have delivered higher sales and profit than
planned. The successful launch of innovative new products, enhanced in-store customer experience,
inspiring content and engagement on social media and digital channels, have contributed to the
performance.”

Kathmandu will release the full result for the year on Tuesday 18th September 2018.
