THIRD 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 18% on the third quarter of the prior financial year. Stores
opened since 1 July 2013 (new stores – 21 stores) contributed 4% of the increase, and existing
stores (198 stores) increased by 14%. This, together with the growth reported in the first half
equates to an increase in year to date revenue of 14%, 8% contributed by existing stores.
Transactions through our tills during the third quarter increased by 11% compared to the third
quarter of the prior financial year. New stores contributed an increase of 5% while existing stores
increased by 6%. Total units sold for the third quarter increased by 16% to the prior year with
existing stores increasing by 11%.
Two stores were refurbished and two new stores were opened during this quarter, bringing the
number of stores trading (excluding 11 CashbuildDIY pilot stores) at the end of the third quarter
to 219.
Trading conditions remained challenging throughout the quarter. Selling inflation was at 2% at
the end of March 2015 when compared to March 2014. Gross profit percentage margins have
increased slightly above levels reported at the half year.
