Woolworths Group Reports 3.2% Sales Growth in Challenging Market

Woolworths Group Ltd ( (AU:WOW) ) just unveiled an update.

Woolworths Group Ltd reported a 3.2% increase in total third-quarter sales, reaching $17.3 billion, driven by growth in Australian and New Zealand food sales and a strong performance in eCommerce. Despite challenges such as weather disruptions and cost-of-living pressures, the company maintained stable customer satisfaction scores and continued to focus on retail fundamentals, including value and availability. The company faced additional costs due to weather events in Queensland and Northern NSW, impacting its BIG W segment, which struggled with clothing sales, leading to a projected loss before interest and tax for the second half of the year.
