Business plan is showing resultsPleasing move to profitability

1.Torpedo7 Sales and Operating Profit is adjusted from previously reported results to include Torpedo7 only. Previous reportedresults included 1-day which is now included in TheMarket.

2.FY20 Sales and Operating Profit have been restated to recognise the wage subsidy for each brand as an unusual item as this was subsequently repaid in December 2020, therefore now

excluded from Sales and Operating Profit. This was included in Operating Profit in the 2020 Annual Report.

•Continued growth in sales with the addition of new stores, improved product offering and brand awareness. FY21 H1 growth was aided by significant online

growth of +66% on FY20 H1 and same store growth of +24%. FY21 H1 performance was strong driven by growth in Cycle, Outdoor and Water categories.

•Operating profit in FY21 has shown significant improvement in part from sales growth but primarily from margin growth and operating cost efficiencies.

Profitability

Asset efficiency

•Group strategy and financial forecasts are assessed using a ROIC

framework, with the objective of increasing ROIC in excess of cost of

capital over time towards best-in-class benchmarks

•Three value creation pathways exist: increase margin, drive growth

and increase capital efficiency

•All three are being pursued with the objective of increasing cash flow

generation, supporting continued investment and dividend returns to

shareholders, while maintaining an appropriate level of funding

liquidity

•At a project level, TWG’s revised capex approval process isnow in

its third year of operation and continuing to evolve through the Agile

operating model

•The target returns for individual projects will depend on specific

project risks and benefits

•For the next three years TWG expects capex to be elevated above

recent levels, with a mix of maintenance (egcore systems, property

refits) and growth (egTheMarket, Ecosystem, SWAS, Supply Chain)

in December 2020, therefore now excluded from Sales and Operating Profit. This was included in Operating Profit in the 2020 Annual Report.

•With the move to EDLP, Sales dipped in FY18, however growth in FY21 has been significant with sales returning to historical levels.

•Improved Gross Profit Margin through reduced clearance and promotional activity, together with tight control of costs (includingthe

Labour Operating Model Update) has led to Operating Profit Margin jump to 12.7% in FY21.

growth

•Sales declined in FY18 with the move to EDLP, however exponential growth has been observed since then. This is due to the conversion of 23 stores (at the

end of FY21 H1) to the SWAS (Store within a Store) concept over the last 5 years and more recent sales growth attributed to increased appetite to working

from home, reflected in the increased sales growth in Office Consumables and Furniture.

•Operating profit margin has surged in FY21 due to a combination of sales growth, reduced discounting leading to higher margins and well controlled costs.
