FOURTH QUARTER OPERATIONAL UPDATE – FY 2024
Cashbuild herewith provides its voluntary quarterly operational update for the fourth quarter of the 2024
financial year ("fourth quarter").
The Group adopts the retail accounting calendar, which comprises the reporting period ending on the last
Sunday of the month (Year ended June 2024 – 53 weeks; Year ended June 2023 – 52 weeks). Although the
group traded for 53 weeks in this financial year, it is appropriate and in line with generally accepted practice
in the retail sector to illustrate the comparative 52-week period (being the 53 weeks of the FY2024 year
excluding the last week) as well as the statutory period trading (53 vs 52 weeks).
52 vs 52 trading weeks:
Revenue for the fourth quarter for the Group increased by 4% compared to the fourth quarter of the prior
financial year ("the comparative period"). For the 310 existing stores (in existence prior to July 2022),
revenue increased by 3% and the 12 new stores, contributed 1% growth. This, combined with the results
reported in the previous quarters, equates to an increase of 3% for the financial year.
Transactions through the tills during the fourth quarter for the Group increased by 3% to that of the
comparative period, with existing stores increasing by 2% and new stores contributing 1% growth.
A revenue performance on a statutory basis per operating segment is reflected in the following table:
