THIRD QUARTER OPERATIONAL UPDATE – FY 2021
Cashbuild herewith provides its voluntary quarterly operational update.
Revenue for the third quarter for the Cashbuild Group was up 21% on the third quarter of the prior financial
year. The 299 existing stores’ revenue increased by 19% and the 18 new stores (opened since July 2019)
contributed 2%. This together with the growth reported in the first half, equates to an increase in revenue for
the year to date of 21%.
Transactions through the tills during the third quarter for the Cashbuild Group increased by 14% to that of the
comparative period, with new stores contributing 2% while existing stores increased by 12%.
Selling inflation was 6.3% at the end of March 2021 when compared to March 2020.

^ The decline in past quarter is largely due to the closure of 6 P&L stores during the first half of the current
financial year.
During the third quarter the Group opened four new stores (three Cashbuild and one P&L Hardware) and
closed four P&L Hardware stores at the expiration of their lease agreements. The Group also relocated two
stores (one Cashbuild and one P&L Hardware) and refurbished one Cashbuild store, bringing the total number
of stores trading at the end of the quarter to 317.
