Briscoe Group Half Year to 27 July 2025
Briscoe Group Limited (NZX/ASX code: BGP)
Highlights for the 26-week period – 27 January 2025 to 27 July 2025:
• Sales of $371.27 million, 99.8% of last year
• Improved sales trend: Q2 growth +2.07% vs Q1 -2.58%
• Online sales as mix of total Group sales 19.36%, (LY 18.77%)
• Online sales growth +2.92% vs last year
• Total Inventory $105.98 million (LY 106.32 million)
• $14.85 million capital investment, including $10.37 million for the new distribution
centre project
• New distribution project progressing on time and within budget
• NPAT $29.31 million
The directors of Briscoe Group Limited (NZX/ASX code: BGP) announce a net profit after
tax (NPAT) of $29.31 million for the half-year ended 27 July 2025. The half-year results are
unaudited.
Dame Rosanne Meo, Briscoe Group Chair said, “This half-year result represents another
solid performance by the Group in an economy which remains highly challenging. Recent
economic indicators – including elevated inflation and unemployment - underscore the
ongoing cost-of-living pressures and subdued consumer sentiment, placing additional
strain on discretionary spending with no consistent signs of economic recovery.”
The directors have resolved to pay an interim dividend of 10.0 cents per share. Books will
close to determine entitlements at 5pm on 19 September 2025 and payment will be made
on 9 October 2025. The company’s dividend policy is to pay out at least 60% of NPAT
when calculated on a full year basis.
“Dame Rosanne Meo said, “As with last year’s final dividend, paid earlier this year, this
interim dividend reflects the Group’s increased focus on a number of innovative strategic
initiatives, our substantial investment programme across the next two years as well as
acknowledging the impact of economic headwinds on profitability.”
Rod Duke, Group Managing Director, said, "We’re pleased with the progress made during
this half and despite the challenges, the team has remained focused on delivering value
and improved service to our customers. The trading environment was mixed, with Q1
impacted by abnormal weather and promotional timing, but Q2 rebounded with a 2.07%
increase.
“We’ve continued to see our online channel grow, with sales up 2.92% and its share of
Group sales rising to 19.36%. During August the team transitioned the online channel to
the Adobe platform and now look to leverage the expected functionality and performance
improvements which it brings.”
The earnings were generated on sales revenue of $371.27 million. Rod Duke said, “To
drive Group sales to 99.8% of last year’s record half-year sales is a terrific achievement and it’s
important to recognise that in what continues to be an incredibly challenging environment. Both
trading segments closed slightly under last year’s sales – homeware under by 0.11% and
sporting goods by 0.40%.”
Gross profit margin percentage declined for the period from 42.97% to 41.43%. Rod Duke
said, “As stated previously, our goal this year is to stabilise gross profit % and while we’re
progressing initiatives to support this, the pace of economic recovery and consumer
confidence will be critical. Optimising gross profit while maximising sales is a constant
focus for the team and they continue to do a terrific job in this relentless environment.
“Cost control also continues to be a focus with ongoing cost inflation widely reported as
another impediment to improving consumer confidence. It is important to us to recognise
the continued efforts of our team across the business and this first half has seen the flow
through of the 5% wage rate increase delivered in May last year as well as the additional
2.5% made earlier this year. Utility costs continue to climb with increases in store rents,
rates and power charges. Strategic initiatives, while helping to protect sales and gross
margin, also contributed to the additional costs during the half in relation to projects such
as electronic shelf-labelling, upgrade to merchandise planning and the new online platform.
“Interest income for the half-year will close around $1.96 million under last year as a result
of lower interest rates and lower cash balances with the progress of the build of our new
distribution centre at Drury which remains on time and within budget. This strategic
investment will revolutionise the way we warehouse and distribute product, unlocking
significant future benefits in relation to inventory, cost and process efficiencies."
Inventory levels as at 27 July 2025 continued to decrease closing at $105.98 million, down
from $106.32 million at the same time last year. Rod Duke said, “With pressure on sales
likely to continue we have focused strongly on inventory levels during the period and we
are particularly pleased with the closing position in relation to both value and quality.”
The Group’s balance sheet remains strong with cash balances of $119.83 million at the
close of the period, compared to $131.77 million held at the same time last year.
Approximately $22 million of creditor payments included in the trade payables balance
were subsequently paid by 31 July 2025. Rod Duke said, “With the significant investment the
Group is making across the next 18 months in establishing the new distribution centre,
combined with the seasonality of our operational cashflow, the Group will establish a funding
facility to support future cash flow requirements.”
Briscoe Group Limited is a company incorporated in New Zealand and registered in Australia as a foreign company under the name
Briscoe Group Australasia Limited (ARBN 619 060 552). It is listed on the NZX and also the Australian Securities Exchange as a foreign
exempt entity. (NZX/ASX code: BGP).
During the year $14.85 million of capital investment was made by the Group of which $10.37
million represents expenditure in relation to the new distribution centre project at South
Auckland. “Rod Duke said, “This project has gained serious momentum in the past six months
with the shell of the 320,000 cubic metre facility now largely in place with practical completion
of the construction phase expected in early 2026.
“Store development projects were also advanced during the period. Two major store
refurbishments were completed at Briscoes Homeware Westgate and Rebel Sport
Henderson, transforming these stores into modern retail environments. The improvements
included elevated fixture suites, energy-efficient LED lighting, enhanced counters, and
improved Click & Collect facilities – delivering a more seamless and engaging shopping
experience for customers.
“We’re also very excited about the progress made in relation to Rebel Sports’ new flagship
store at Mt Wellington which is on track to launch in November. We believe it will set a new
benchmark for sports retail in Australasia, delivering a premium customer experience,
supported by advanced technology, elevated product ranges, retail media integration, and
dedicated customer experience zones.
“Looking ahead, we remain cautious about the retail environment. In the absence of a clear
uplift in consumer confidence, the ongoing economic headwinds may result in a full-year
NPAT closer to $60 million.”
The Group’s next planned market release will be shortly after its 3
rd
quarter which closes
on 26 October 2025.

What we have completed
HY26 HALF YEAR ADDENDUM
11
A broad range of
investments in our
people, systems and
processes are
contributing to
member capabilities,
competence and
confidence. Our team
is well placed to drive
the business forward.
Our Team
Team Development
Our refreshed Management & Leadership
Development Programme saw three new
cohorts commence the programme with a
blend of participants from stores and support
functions. Our review has enabled a significant
reduction in time to complete, alongside
increased satisfaction (+16%) and increased
attendance (+23%).
Engagement
We maintained Team member engagement and
our position of 0.3 above the industry
benchmark. Pleasingly, we have seen a
continued shift (6%) of respondents into
'Promoters' and a decline in 'Detractors'.
Health & Safety
Alongside implementation of our unique Virtual
Reality led Manual Handling training, we have
embarked upon a pilot with Inviol, an innovative
New Zealand company making use of artificial
intelligence and camera technology. Inviolhelps
to identify actions which could result in a safety
incident or injury while working in one of the
areas contained within our Traffic Management
Plans. Incidents are categorised according to
risk and events used as coaching opportunities
to improve operational practices.
Paid Parental Leave
Earlier this year we introduced
our enhanced Parental Leave
Policy providing a suite of new
benefits including income top up,
KiwiSaver contributions, and paid
Partner's Leave. To date, just over
16% of those making use of the
provisions have been partners
rather than primary carers,
ensuring that those adding to
their families are supported from
the start.
Retention
Our team appreciate our efforts
to provide stable and secure
employment in an industry often
exposed to headcount
reductions. Further assisted by a
subdued labour market our team
retention continues to increase
and is likely a key ingredient in
the excellent NPS scores provided
by our customers.
Learning Technology
An extensive review of the tools
used to create and review
content was conducted with
changes made to both our
development and authoring tools.
The new toolset has enabled a
50% reduction in the time required
to develop modules, alongside
decreasing the amount of time
required for new team members
to become competent users and
create their first learning content.

Briscoe Group Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the 26 week period ended 27 July 2025 (unaudited)
- 6 -
1.Reporting Entity
Br
iscoe Group Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (together the Group) is a retailer of homeware and
sporting goods. The Company is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand and
is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). Briscoe Group Limited is registered under the
Companies Act 1993 and is an FMC Reporting Entity under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act
2013. The address of its registered office is 1 Taylors Road, Morningside, Auckland 1025, New Zealand. The
Company is registered in Australia as a foreign company under the name Briscoe Group Australasia Limited
and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange as a foreign exempt entity. (NZX / ASX code: BGP).
2.Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
Thes
e unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) have
been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) and
comply with the requirements of International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and
with New Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting Standard (NZ IAS) 34 Interim Financial Reporting
and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules. The Group is designated as a for-profit entity for financial reporting
purposes.
The i
nterim financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual
financial report. Accordingly, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements for the period ended 26 January 2025 and any public
announcements made by Briscoe Group Limited during the interim reporting period and up to the date of
these interim financial statements.
Thes
e interim financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Company’s functional
currency and the Group’s presentation currency.
The
interim financial statements are in respect of the 26-week period from 27 January 2025 to 27 July 2025 .
The comparative period is in respect of the 26-week period from 29 January 2024 to 28 July 2024. The year-
end balance date will be 25 January 2026 and full financial statements will cover the 52- week period from 27
January 2025 to 25 January 2026. The Group operates on a weekly trading and reporting cycle resulting in
52-weeks for most years with a 53-week year occurring once every 5-6 years.
The pr
eparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the interim financial statements. The estimates and
underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and adjusted for current market conditions and
other factors, including expectations of future events that are considered to be reasonable under the
circumstances. If outcomes within the next financial period are significantly different from assumptions, this
could result in adjustments to carrying amounts of the asset or liability affected. The same judgements,
estimates and assumptions included in the notes to the financial statements for the full year period ended 26
January 2025 have been applied to these interim financial statements.
Ot
her comprehensive income reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the 26-
week period ended 28 July 2024 has been amended to remove the component of cash flow hedge reserve
which represented transfers of hedging gains/losses upon settlement of forward contracts net of tax as
separately disclosed in the statement of changes in equity ($361,597). The change is limited to the statement
of changes in equity and other comprehensive income and has no impact on profit, cash flow or the balance
sheet of the Group.
3.Accounting Policies
The int
erim financial statements of the Group for the 26-week period ended 27 July 2025 have been
prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computations as, and should be read in
conjunction with, the financial statements and related notes included in the Group’s Annual Report for the full
year period ended 26 January 2025.

4. Seasonality
The Group’s revenue and profitability follow a seasonal pattern with higher sales and net profits typically
achieved in the second half of the financial year as a result of additional sales generated during the
Christmas trading period.
5.Segment Information
The G
roup is organised into two reportable operating segments, namely homeware and sporting goods,
reflecting the different retail sectors within which the Group operates. The Company is considered not to be a
reportable operating segment. Eliminations and unallocated amounts as shown below are primarily
attributable to the Company. There were no inter-segment sales in the period (2024 : Nil).
Information in relation to the operations of each reportable operating segment is included below. Seg
ment
profit represents the profit earned by each segment and is extracted from the income statements associated
with the two trading subsidiary companies, Briscoes (New Zealand) Limited and The Sports Authority Limited
(trading as Rebel Sport). Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) is a non-GAAP measure and used to
assess the performance of the operating segments. This measure should not be viewed in isolation, nor
considered as a substitute for measures reported in accordance with NZ IFRS. This non-GAAP financial
measure may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

On 9 September 2025 the Directors resolved to provide for an interim dividend to be paid in respect of the period
ended 25 January 2026. The dividend will be paid at the rate of 10.00 cents per share for all shares on issue as at 19

12.Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
The G
roup’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, market risk (including currency and interest rate
risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme seeks to minimise
potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses certain derivative financial
instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
The consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and
disclosures required in the annual financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the Group’s
annual financial statements for the period ending 26 January 2025 . There have been no changes in the risk
management policies since year end.
Briscoe Group Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the 26 week period ended 27 July 2025 (unaudited)
- 11 -
Based on NZ IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, the fair value of each financial instrument is categorised in
its entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to that fair value measurement. The levels are
defined as follows:
Level
1: Quoted prices (unadjusted in active market for identical assets and liabilities);
Level
2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices);
Level
3: Inputs for the asset or liability, that are not based on observable market data (that is unobservable
inputs).
The f
inancial instruments held by the Group that are measured at fair value are; over-the-counter derivatives
(foreign exchange contracts) and an investment in equity securities. The derivatives have been determined
to be within level 2 (for the purposes of NZ IFRS 13) of the fair value hierarchy as all significant inputs
required to ascertain the fair values are observable. The investment in equity securities is determined to be
within level 1 as quoted prices are available from an active equities market for identical securities. There
were no transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the period.
Ther
e were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.
The f
ollowing methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for each class of financial
instrument.
Tr
ade debtors, trade creditors, related party payables and bank balances
The carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.
Der
ivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments comprise of forward foreign exchange contracts which have been fair valued
using market forward foreign exchange rates at period end.

14.Events After Balance Date
On 3
0 July 2025 164,657 performance rights were issued to key senior executives under the Briscoe Group
Senior Executive Incentive Plan. The plan was established in 2019 and this is the 8th tranche of
performance rights to have been issued under the plan. The performance rights are subject to two growth
hurdles in relation to absolute Total Shareholder Return and Earnings Per Share, both of which are
measured over a three-year period.
On 9
September 2025 the Directors resolved to provide for an interim dividend to be paid in respect of the
52-week period ending 25 January 2026 . The dividend will be paid at a rate of 10.00 cents per share on
issue as at 19 September 2025, with full imputation credits attached (refer Note 11).
15.Accounting Standards
The accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the period
ended 26 January 2025, as described in those annual financial statements.
Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been
published that are not mandatory for the 27 July 2025 reporting period and have not been early adopted by
the Group. Other than NZ IFRS 18 these standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have
a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future
transactions.
NZ
IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements will be effective for annual reporting
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. This new standard, which is mandatory for the Group in the
2028 financial year, is expected to change the presentation of the Group’s consolidated income statement.
The Group will disclose more information in the future when a full assessment of the impact of the standard
has been completed.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Briscoe Group Limited
Report on the consolidated interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) of Briscoe Group
Limited (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at
27 July 2025, and the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the
consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the 26-week period
ended on that date, and notes, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory
information.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim
financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group
as at 27 July 2025, and its financial performance and cash flows for the 26-week period then ended, in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) and New Zealand Equivalent to
International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (NZ IAS 34).
Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with the New Zealand Standard on Review Engagements 2410 (Revised)
Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)).
Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the consolidated interim
financial statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to
the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these ethical requirements. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in,
the Group.
Responsibilities of Directors for the interim financial statements
The Directors of the Group are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of these
interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and NZ IAS 34 and for such internal control as the Directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE 2410
(Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34
and NZ IAS 34.
A review of interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance
engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for
financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in
accordance with International Standards on Auditing and International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we might identify in an audit. Accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion on these interim financial statements.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the Company’s Shareholders, as a body. Our review work has been undertaken so that
we might state those matters which we are required to state to them in our review report and for no other purpose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company
and the Company’s Shareholders, as a body, for our review procedures, for this report or for the conclusion we have
formed.
The engagement partner on the review resulting in this independent auditor’s review report is John (Jolly) Morgan.
