Unaudited sales for the thirty-nine-week period from 30 January 2023 to 29 October 2023
were $548.9 million, an increase of 1.00% on the $543.5 million achieved for the first three
quarters of last year. The Group’s homeware segment increased sales by 0.62% during
this period and the sporting goods segment by 1.64%.

Group Managing Director, Rod Duke said, “We’re extremely pleased with the lift in sales
delivered for this third quarter. To post positive sales growth across both the homewares
and sporting goods segments in an extremely tough trading environment, as highlighted in
recent retail announcements, is an excellent achievement.

“While pressure on margins continues to increase, our goal for the full year remains to
protect around half of the of the 633 gross profit basis points gained during the 2 years
ended January 2021 and January 2022.

“As we enter the final and crucial quarter of our financial year and with the general election
behind us, we remain cautiously optimistic in relation to the retail environment and the
economic conditions which impact consumer spending. As previously reported, we don’t
expect to replicate last year’s record net profit after tax (NPAT) of $88.4 million, however
we are currently forecasting the Group to deliver a full year NPAT in excess of $80 million.”
