THROUGH ANOTHER DISRUPTED YEAR, WE HAVE DELIVERED A STRONG RESULT WHILE INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
We have never been more confident of our innovation strategy - to provide a personalised, integrated and friction-free shopping experience.
The resilience, focus and agility of our team have been hallmark themes for the Group over the
last two years and I'd like to recognise and commend all our team members for their commitment to our customers and one another through this period.
There have been COVID-19 store closures and restrictions, disruption to our supply chain and increased ocean freight costs which have had an impact on sales and gross profit margin. There has also been a cost in making sure our team and customers are kept safe in the context of the pandemic, combined with additional costs of providing greater remuneration equity and in increasing our marketing investment in grocery and TheMarket.com.
As a result of COVID-19 impacts, each of our brands have experienced a decline in sales and gross profit margin compared to FY21, with the exception of Torpedo7 which has continued its pleasing sales growth.
We are investing in our strategy to build a world class retail ecosystem in the roll out of our groupwide membership programme, in systems and infrastructure, and in the continuous empowerment and development of our people.
We are excited to share our new vision - to make sustainable living easy and affordable for everyone.

Comparable Adjusted Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) is Adjusted Net Profit before the new adjustment for Cloud Computing Arrangements (Software as a Service, "SaaS") which included a restatement in FY21 of $8.3m and impacted FY22 by $11.4m, after tax. Refer to Slide 19 and 38 for analysis of these adjustments to reported EBIT and NPAT.
Reported Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) is only compared against FY21, as FY20 and FY19 has not been restated for SaaS adjustment, so is not comparable against restated FY21 and FY22.
