HALLENSTEIN GLASSON HOLDINGS LIMITED  

 

UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR 6 MONTHS ENDED 1 FEBRUARY 2024 

 

The Company advises that unaudited total Group sales for the six months to 1 February 2024 were 

$223.0 million, compared to $223.3 million in the prior corresponding period. Group unaudited net 

profit after tax (NPAT) was $21.1 million, an increase of 1.5% over the corresponding period last year 

($20.8 million). The

 result is in line with the guidance announced to the NZX on 22 February 2024. 

 

Gross margin on sales was 58.9% compared with 56.5% in the prior corresponding period.  The 

improved profitability at the margin level has been driven by ongoing sourcing benefits with our 

long‐standing supplier relationships, and

 the development of new relationships to diversify our 

supplier base.  Net freight costs reduced throughout the period leading to a reduced landed cost of 

product.  Inventory management has been improved, with lower clearance levels year on year 

reducing overall discounting.  These factors have assisted us in improving margin while continuing 

to 

manage a strong US Dollar exchange rate throughout the half. 

 

During the six months to 1 February 2024 there was a continued focus on operating cost efficiency 

given the high inflationary environment.  Inventory levels were tightly controlled and ended the 

period lower than both the prior corresponding period and 

the prior year end.  This gives the Group 

the flexibility to adjust to the trading environment and trends as the market evolves. 

 

The balance sheet remains in a strong position with improved working capital compared to the prior 

corresponding period and significant cash reserves. 

 

Consistent with the 1 August 2023 

financial statements, the below segment results include a change 

in methodology for intercompany charges to reflect brand value provided by New Zealand for the 

benefit of Australia, internal procurement and management services. While not affecting Group 

profit before income tax, these charges have impacted profit of the segments reported and are

 

therefore not directly comparable to the prior corresponding period segment results.  

 

Segment Results  

 

Glassons 

 

Sales in Australia were $107.1 million for the six‐month period, which were up +4.1% against the 

prior corresponding period. Despite difficult market trading conditions, we experienced growth 

throughout the half, particularly in the key Black Friday and Christmas trading periods.  Net profit 

after tax was $10.9 million. 

 

During the season a new store was opened in Knox, Victoria.  Post reporting period, a second store 

in Adelaide has been opened in Rundle Mall in March. Further store refurbishments are planned for 

the second half of the financial year as we continue to assess potential new sites throughout 

Australia which

 meet our commercial requirements. 

 
 

Sales in New Zealand were $57.1 million, which were down ‐5.8% against the same period last year, 

reflective of a tougher trading environment compared to Australia.  Net profit after tax was $5.7 

million. Following a challenging first quarter, it was pleasing to see a strong Christmas trading period, 

with a return

 to sales growth in physical stores in the second quarter.  

 

During the season the Albany store was relocated to an improved location driving improved 

performance, and our Christchurch CBD store was relocated and opened in November 2023. The 

Blenheim store was closed at the end of October 2023.   

 

Despite 

the challenging economic environment, particularly in New Zealand, Glassons continues to 

refine and adapt to changing market conditions, bringing relevant and desirable product at speed to 

market. Australia remains a focus growth market, as we continue to increase our brand awareness 

and penetration. 

 

Hallenstein Brothers  

 

Sales were $58.8 million for the six‐month period (including Australia), with sales declining ‐1.7% 

against the same period last year, however at a significantly improved gross margin at 58.8%, 

+440bps.  Net profit after tax was $4.5 million, an increase of +24.6% on the prior corresponding 

period ($3.6 million).  During the

 season, our new store concept design was rolled out in the 

Manukau store and delivered strong growth. Our Garden City store in Queensland, Australia moved 

to a new location and opened in November 2023, and a new pop‐up store in Robina, Gold Coast was 

opened in the lead up 

to Christmas. 

 

E‐Commerce  

 

Digital sales have decreased slightly to 17.3% of total Group sales for the six‐month period, down 

from 18.1% in the same period last year. Customers have continued to return to the physical in‐store 

experience which has seen the demand for online shopping normalise compared to the prior period, 

although

 well above pre‐pandemic levels.  There is a continued focus on digital marketing across the 

Group to drive engagement across all channels and ensure that customers enjoy a true omnichannel 

experience.  The Glassons App continues to be very successful, while significant work has been 

undertaken on both the Hallensteins and 

Glassons web shops to improve the look and the customer 

experience. 

 

Dividend  

 

The Directors have declared an interim dividend of 24 cents per share (partially imputed at 45%) 

(last year 24 cents per share partially imputed at 45%) to be paid on 18 April 2024.  The dividend 

payment is able to be maintained due to the strong balance sheet and inventory position.  

 

Future Outlook 

 

Overall trading for the beginning of the winter season has been positive, with Group sales for the 

first seven weeks +8.3% ahead of the same period last year.  We have benefitted from a number of 

events, festivals and major international acts performing in New Zealand and Australia, supporting 

 
demand for our product ranges across both Glassons and Hallensteins. Full year to date sales are 

now 1.4% ahead of the same time last year. 

 

Whilst this is a pleasing start to the winter season, we are conscious of the significant challenges that 

are expected to continue for the remainder of the financial year given the current economic 

environment in New Zealand, Australia and globally. Given the current circumstances we do expect 

the Australian trading environment

 to remain stronger than that of New Zealand. Cost efficiencies 

are being made where possible.  

 

We will maintain our focus on delivering fashionable, on‐trend, high quality products to our 

customers, and progressing on our sustainability program.  In addition, ongoing investment in our 

people, digital experiences and physical stores will 

position us well to adapt to the market changes 

ahead.

Segment results and key balances are shown below. Segment assets and liabilities are measured in

the same way as in the financial statements. Assets and liabilities are allocated based on the

operations of the segment.


During the six months ended 1 February 2024 and consistent with 1 August 2023 financial

statements, the below segment results include intercompany charges to reflect brand value provided

by New Zealand for the benefit of Australia, procurement services provided by New Zealand to

Australia, and management services provided by one related entity to another. These charges have

impacted on profit before income tax of the segments reported and are therefore not directly

comparable to the prior period segment results. These charges have been implemented based on

professional advice and are consistent with comparable industry benchmarks.
