Historical setup

What FY24 said to watch

From Continuing PBT halved as all three retail segments compressed

No forward targets were supplied with this release, so the result is judged against the half-year shape. H1 contributed 53.8% of full-year revenue and 43.7% of the full-year NPAT loss, implying an H2 revenue run-rate of $1.4b and an H2 loss of around $30.5m. Management commentary that H2 sales fell 7.6% versus H1's 4.9% decline points to a worsening sales trajectory into year-end, which matters because segment earnings are now highly geared to any further volume fall.

Open questions

Open questions from FY24

  • What concrete actions are planned to rebuild The Warehouse segment result from $17.7m, given the -75% fall is not explained by the disposed operations?
  • Why was capex cut by 65.9%, and at what level does the board view capex as adequate to maintain the store network and digital platforms?
  • When does the board expect to resume a final dividend, and what coverage threshold needs to be met?
  • Why did the effective tax rate rise to 68.2%, and is that a one-year distortion or a recurring drag on continuing-ops NPAT?
  • How is H2's 7.6% sales decline tracking into early FY25, and what assumptions underpin internal forecasts?

This briefing cannot assess management's internal turnaround plan, the underlying drivers of the Torpedo7 exit loss, or the trajectory of trading post-balance-date.
