Record First-Half Sales While Advancing Major Strategic Investments
First Half Highlights (26-week period – 26 January 2026 to 26 July 2026):
• Record Group sales of $374.2 million, +0.79%
• Third consecutive quarter of positive sales growth
• Sporting goods sales +2.56%
• Online sales +2.07%, representing 19.60% of Group sales
• Gross profit percentage of 40.85%, a decline of 58 basis points
• Total inventory of $104.8 million, $1.2 million below last year
• New North Island distribution centre open and operational
• New Club Rebel rewards system launched May 2026
• NPAT of $27.6 million
• Interim dividend of 10.0 cents per share
The directors of Briscoe Group Limited (NZX/ASX code: BGP) announce a net profit after tax of $27.6 million for
the half-year ended 26 July 2026, compared with $29.3 million for the corresponding period last year. The half-
year results are unaudited.
Dame Rosanne Meo, Briscoe Group Chair, said, “This is an encouraging first-half result in an environment
where households remain cautious. The positive sales growth and the reduced decline in gross profit
percentage show the business is responding well while we continue to invest in a substantial programme of
change with several important projects moving into operation.”
The directors have resolved to pay an interim dividend of 10.0 cents per share. Books will close to determine
entitlements at 5pm on 25 September 2026, with payment to be made on 8 October 2026. 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, “The Board continues to take a measured approach to capital allocation. The interim
dividend recognises the Group’s ongoing profitability and financial strength, while retaining the flexibility required
to complete the current investment programme and assess future growth opportunities.”
Rod Duke, Group Managing Director, said, “Delivering record first-half sales, alongside a third consecutive
quarter of sales growth is particularly encouraging given the continued caution in household discretionary
spending. The result reflects strong execution by our teams, the enduring appeal of both retail brands and the
benefit of operating across two complementary segments.”
Group sales for the first half reached a record $374.2 million, compared with $371.3 million for the
corresponding period last year. Sporting goods sales increased by $3.6 million to $145.1 million, while
homewares sales decreased by $0.7 million to $229.1 million.
Sporting goods benefited from heightened customer interest generated by major sporting events and successes
during the period, including the FIFA World Cup, Auckland FC’s A-League triumph, the Warriors’ strong NRL
campaign and the All Blacks’ successful home programme in the Nations Championship. Homewares trading
was more subdued. Demand for heating products was affected by a milder start to winter, while luggage sales
were softer as international uncertainty influenced travel activity.
Online sales continued to grow, increasing 2.07%, or $1.5 million, to $73.4 million. Online sales represented
19.60% of Group sales, compared with 19.36% last half-year.
Rod Duke said, “Customers continue to move readily between our online and store channels, and both
businesses delivered online growth during the half.
“The Adobe platform introduced last year gives us a stronger base to improve personalisation, search, customer
communication and the connection between our digital and physical channels.”
Homewares online sales were $48.1 million, an increase of 1.11%, while sporting goods online sales increased
3.96% to $25.3 million.
During the half, the Group launched the next generation of the Club Rebel loyalty programme. The new rewards
structure is designed to provide customers with clearer benefits, encourage more frequent engagement and
enable increasingly relevant and personalised communication. The initial customer response has been very
encouraging.
Gross profit for the period was $152.9 million, compared with $153.8 million last year. Gross profit percentage
was 40.85%, 58 basis points below the 41.43% achieved in the prior corresponding period.
Rod Duke said, “One of the more encouraging developments during the half was the continued moderation in
the rate of gross margin decline. Retail conditions remain highly promotional, but the work undertaken across
sourcing, inventory management, product mix and promotional execution is gaining traction. That progress is
particularly encouraging given the weaker New Zealand dollar and continuing uncertainty across global supply
chains. Our focus remains on improving gross profit while maintaining sales momentum and strong customer
value.”
Expense discipline remained important as the Group absorbed the initial operating costs of the new distribution
centre and continued the SAP S/4HANA upgrade. Store expenses increased marginally by 0.94% despite
higher power, depreciation and occupancy-related costs. Administration expenses increased 3.39%, as
expected, reflecting expenditure required to advance the Group’s major strategic programmes.
The first-half result included $1.9 million of additional operating costs associated with the new distribution centre
and $0.9 million of one-off expenditure relating to the SAP S/4HANA upgrade. A net lease accounting benefit of
$2.0 million before tax from the early surrender of the former distribution centre lease partly offset these costs.
Net finance costs increased by $1.9 million to $7.8 million, compared with $5.9 million last year, reflecting lower
interest income from reduced cash balances and interest rates as well as higher lease interest.
Inventory at the close of the period was $104.8 million, $1.2 million below the $106.0 million held at the same
time last year. Rod Duke said, “The lower inventory position reflects careful management of seasonal stock,
ageing and availability across both trading segments.”
The Group’s balance sheet remains strong, with cash and cash equivalents of $74.4 million at the close of the
period, compared with $119.8 million at the same time last year. Approximately $26 million of creditor payments
included within the trade payables balance were subsequently paid by 31 July 2026.
The distribution centre is now operational, with throughput exceeding the levels achieved at the previous facility.
During the period, the Group invested $31.9 million in capital expenditure, of which $28.1 million related to the
distribution centre project, with the balance invested across store development initiatives, technology platforms
and other operational improvements.
Rod Duke said, “The successful opening of our new North Island distribution centre marks the beginning of the
next phase of our strategic programme. It is the Group’s largest-ever operational investment and provides the
capacity and flexibility to support future growth. Our immediate priority is to complete the commissioning and
then progressively optimise the automation systems. As this work advances, we expect the benefits to become
increasingly visible through better inventory flow, increased replenishment capability, improved productivity and
customer service, and more efficient use of store space.”
The Group also completed two major store development projects during the half at Briscoes Homeware
Henderson and Rebel Sport Westgate. Both stores were converted to the latest-generation retail format,
incorporating enhanced layouts, modern fixture suites, improved customer-service areas and energy-efficient
design features.
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).
The two projects complete the final major refurbishments across the Group’s West Auckland network and
provide a more consistent store experience across the region.
At Briscoes Homeware Panmure, the Group secured a long-term sublease with Chemist Warehouse for surplus
space within the existing store footprint
Rod Duke said, “Panmure demonstrates how our supply chain investment is creating new options across the
store network. Lower in-store storage requirements allow us to optimise existing space and unlock additional
value from our property assets. As more space becomes available within stores, we are seeing growing
opportunities to improve asset utilisation, increase profitability per square metre and strengthen property returns,
including through partnerships with complementary retailers such as Chemist Warehouse, while preserving
flexibility for future growth.”
The Group expects to continue building momentum in the second half through store development, network
optimisation and strategic property initiatives. Beyond traditional refurbishments and relocations, the Group can
pursue a wider mix of opportunities, including partnerships, selective subleasing, accommodating both brands
within one location and new-format developments. Each initiative is assessed against a clear objective: to lift
sales and profitability per square metre and improve returns across the property portfolio.
Three significant store projects are planned for the second half.
Rebel Sport Colombo Street will be refurbished and reopen as a Christchurch central-city destination combining
the next-generation store concept with selected flagship features. A new Rebel Sport store has just recently
opened at Tower Junction as part of the Group’s strategic transition from Westfield Riccarton.
In Upper Hutt, the existing premises will be substantially reconfigured to provide a refurbished and more efficient
Briscoes Homeware store and introduce Rebel Sport to the catchment for the first time. The project shows how
an existing footprint can accommodate both brands, lifting space productivity and broadening the customer
offer.
Rod Duke said, “The Christchurch and Upper Hutt developments highlight the increasing flexibility of our store
network. Whether creating destination stores, relocating into stronger sites, introducing both brands into a single
location or optimising existing space, we now have a much broader range of opportunities to improve the
customer experience, increase productivity and grow returns from our property portfolio.”
Looking ahead, Rod Duke said, “The pace of the consumer recovery remains difficult to predict and
discretionary spending is likely to remain sensitive to household cost pressures and promotional activity.
However, the business enters the second half with positive sales momentum, an improving gross margin trend
and several significant strategic initiatives now moving from investment into execution.
“With the new distribution centre operating, Club Rebel relaunched, the SAP S/4HANA programme progressing
and our property optimisation strategy advancing, we are beginning to see multiple opportunities emerge to
improve productivity, strengthen customer engagement and increase profitability per square metre.
“While the economic environment remains challenging, we believe Briscoe Group is increasingly well positioned
to benefit from any improvement in consumer conditions. Our focus remains on sustaining sales momentum,
rebuilding gross profit percentage and converting these investments into measurable operational and financial
gains that strengthen the Group’s long-term earnings capacity.
“I also want to thank all our team across the Group. They have managed a significant amount of change while
continuing to look after our customers and deliver the day-to-day performance of the business. Their
commitment and adaptability have been a major part of the progress we have made during the half.”

Sustained investment in our people, systems
and ways of working is buildingcapability,
competence and confidence across the team.
Team Development
Leadership development has stepped up a gear. Three new cohorts
commenced our Leadership Programme, redesigned and now delivered
fully in-house —faster to complete and rated more highly by participants.
New Change 360 surveys will track how leadership growth translates into
results long after the programme ends.
DC Capability
Our North Island Distribution Centre team has grown as the site scales up,
and KNAPP automation is creating broader, more enriching roles. Team
members are building genuinely new skills alongside automated systems —
strengthening both individual careers and our future supply chain.
Health & Safety
Automation is reshaping work at the Distribution Centre. New operating
processes, hands-on training and safety controls are being embedded
alongside the technology through 2026 and into early 2027, helping our team
transitioninto the new environment safely and with confidence.
Retention remains a standout across the Group. Stable employment, genuine
development opportunities and engaging work continue to attract, retain and engage
our people. That continuity protects the customer experience across BriscoesHomeware
and Rebel Sport and reinforces our position as a great place to work.
Technology Skill Building
AI is changing how work gets done, and our Support Office teams are proactively
embracing the opportunity. Targetedprogrammesare equipping people to rethink old
processes, remove friction and free up capacity for the decisions, ideas and insights
that create real value — building a more adaptable, forward-looking culture.

Positive Impact on Local Communities
"We would like to extend our
sincere thanks once again
for your generous
sponsorship of our
Kaupapa, and for
supporting our future
rangatahievents through
the Pass It Forward balls."
"We are extremely grateful for
the phenomenal support of
Briscoe Group staff, suppliers
and customers who both
fundraise as well as raise
awareness for Cure Kids and
the vital research we fund."
"My name's Sheana. I'm a
Tania Dalton Foundation
Scholarship recipient,
supported by Rebel Sport.
The scholarship has taken a
lot of financial stress off my
family, and I think it is so cool
that Rebel Sport is able to
provide that (support)."
“Thank you so much
for your generous
support of the “Buy a
Blanket, Give a
Blanket” campaign.
Through our
partnership with
Briscoes, something
truly meaningful has
been made possible.
These blankets have
not only provided
much-needed warmth
during the colder
months, but have also
offered comfort,
kindness, and a sense
of being cared for,
reminding people that
they are seen, valued,
and not alone." -
Salvation Army.
"Our partnership with Briscoes has been a powerful
example of how (product) returns can be transformed
into meaningful community impact. This collaboration
has not only supported waste reduction, but it has
also created positive social outcomes by resourcing
schools, charities, and community initiatives."

Briscoe Group Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the 26 week period ended 26 July 2026 (unaudited)
-6-
1. Reporting Entity
Briscoe 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
These unaudited consolidated condensed interim financial statementshave
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 interim 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 25 January 2026 and any public
announcements made by Briscoe Group Limited during the interim reporting period and up to the date of
these interim financial statements.
The interim financial statements are in respect of the 26-week period from 26 January 2026 to 26 July 2026.
The comparative period is in respect of the 26-week period from 27 January 2025 to 27 July 2025. The year-
end balance date will be 31 January 2027 and full financial statements will cover the 53-week period from 26
January 2026 to 31 January 2027. 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 preparation 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 25
January 2026 have been applied to these interim financial statements.
3. Accounting Policies
The interim financial statements of the Group for the 26-week period ended 26 July 2026 have been
prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computations as, and should be read in
full
year period ended 25 January 2026.
4. Seasonality
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 Group 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 (2025: Nil).
Information in relation to the operations of each reportable operating segment is included below. Segment
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.

8. Investment in Equity Securities
Briscoe Group Limited holds 1,920,299 shares in KMD Brands Limited (2025: 48,007,465 shares on a pre-
consolidation basis), representing a 2.67% ownership interest as at 26 July 2026 (2025: 6.75%).
On 22 April 2026, KMD Brands Limited completed an equity raising comprising a placement and entitlement
offer. The Group did not subscribe for any new shares and, as a result of the new shares issued, its
ownership interest was diluted from 6.75% to 2.67%. No shares were disposed of by the Group.
On 2 July 2026, KMD Brands Limited completed a 1-for-25 share consolidation. Accordingly, the Group's
holding was consolidated from 48,007,465 shares to 1,920,299 shares, with no substantive change to the
Group's ownership interest arising from the consolidation.
These shares are equity investments, quoted in the active market, which the Group has elected to designate
as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). An adjustment was made at
period end to reflect the fair value of these shares as at 26 July 2026.

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 financial 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.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values for each class of financial
instrument.
Trade debtors, trade creditors, related party payables and bank balances
The carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.
Derivative 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.
Investment in equity securities
The investment in equity securities has been fair valued using equity prices quoted on market at period end.

Independent auditor’s review report
To the shareholders of Briscoe Group Limited
Report on the consolidated interim financial statements
Our conclusion
We have reviewed the consolidated condensed 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 26 July 2026, 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 26 July 2026, 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 interim financial
statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by
the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (PES 1), as applicable to audits and reviews of public
interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with PES 1.
In our capacity as auditor and assurance practitioner, our firm also provides other services relating to executive
remuneration benchmarking. The firm has no other 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 Company 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.
