The earnings call reflects a challenging period for Woolworths Group, with significant declines in EBIT and challenges in key segments like Australian Food and BIG W. Despite these challenges, there are notable successes in eCommerce growth, the Everyday Rewards program, and sustainability efforts. However, the lowlights, especially in financial performance, outweigh the highlights.

Company Guidance

During the Woolworths Group's FY 2025 Half Year Earnings Announcement, CEO Amanda Bardwell provided guidance reflecting a challenging first half, with a 3.7% increase in group sales to $35.9 billion, or 2.5% excluding Petstock, but a 14.2% decline in group EBIT to $1.45 billion. The decline was primarily due to industrial action impacting Australian Food, along with increased supply chain costs and inflation in wages. Despite these setbacks, eCommerce saw strong growth, with over 30% of orders fulfilled in under two hours. Woolworths emphasized the need to simplify operations, aiming for $400 million in annualized gross savings by the end of 2025, and highlighted continued efforts to improve customer value perception and availability. Additionally, the company reported a 12.5% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and progress in reducing plastic packaging, while focusing on the potential growth of its Own Brand and leveraging its digital platforms.

Group Sales Increase

Group sales for the half increased by 3.7% to $35.9 billion, with sales growth in all operating segments, excluding Petstock.

eCommerce Growth

eCommerce sales increased by 20% for the half, with 88% of online orders fulfilled in less than 24 hours.

Everyday Rewards Program Growth

The Everyday Rewards app had a strong performance, with 12 million active members across Australia and New Zealand.

Cartology Revenue Growth

The retail media business, Cartology, experienced 15.3% revenue growth as it continued to scale.

Sustainability Efforts

The company achieved a 12.5% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions in H1 compared to the 2023 baseline, supported by a switch to renewable electricity.
