Prior Expectations
FY22
From Cooks swung to $0.3m NPAT on UK reopening, but operating cash turned negative
No quantified guidance or forward-work balance was disclosed. The interim shape is informative, however: HY22 contributed 55.8% of full-year revenue but only 17.4% of NPAT, implying an H2 NPAT of roughly $0.3m on $2.9m of revenue – a materially higher-margin half. The release notes UK store sales reached 123% of FY19 levels, suggesting trading momentum was still building into period-end, but with no stated FY23 targets the durability of that H2 margin run-rate is not something this filing directly supports or refutes.
