FOURTH QUARTER OPERATIONAL UPDATE – FY 2015
In line with past practice and disclosure, Cashbuild herewith
provides its quarterly operational update.
Revenue for the company was up by 13% on the fourth quarter of
the prior financial year. Stores opened since 1 July 2013 (new
stores – 24 stores) contributed 4% of the increase, whilst
existing stores (198 stores) increased by 9%. The growth for
the fourth quarter together with the growth of previous
quarters reported, equates to an increase in revenue for the
year of 13%, 8% of which was contributed by existing stores.
Transactions through the tills during the fourth quarter
increased by 6% compared to the fourth quarter of the prior
financial year. New stores contributed an increase of 5% while
existing stores increased by 1%. Total units sold for the
fourth quarter increased by 9% to the prior year with existing
stores increasing by 3%.
Three new stores were opened, ten stores were refurbished and
two relocated during the fourth quarter. For the financial
year, nine new stores were opened, 24 refurbished, six stores
were relocated and two stores trading in close proximity to
another were closed, bringing the total number of stores
trading at the end of the financial year to 222. The DIY pilot
continues with 11 Cashbuild DIY pilot stores (not included in
the above number), trading at the end of the fourth quarter.
Selling inflation was at 2% at the end of June 2015 when
