“We supported our customers, whether they wanted to shop in store or online, and were able to do this in a safe and convenient way.”

“The first half of F21 continued to be impacted by COVID, with elevated sales and higher costs, as we worked to maintain a COVIDSafe environment for our customers and team.”

Australian Food, BIG W and Endeavour Drinks all reported sales growth well-above trend.

Mr Banducci continues, “Endeavour Drinks sales continued to benefit from increased at-home consumption and trading up with Dan Murphy’s and BWS both maintaining strong sales growth during the half and achieving record Christmas Eve sales.

“Total sales increased by 19% and EBIT grew 24.1%, despite higher costs associated with COVID, team wages, and investment in digital and e-commerce.”

Mr Banducci concludes, “In summary, by living our purpose of Creating Better Experiences Together for a Better Tomorrow, we have successfully navigated a challenging 2020, continued to put our customers and team first, and delivered a strong Group financial result.”
