Growing long-term shareholder value by becoming the most trusted retailer in Australia

  • Rich heritage dating back to 1914, a proud and deeply Australian business, successfully demerged from Wesfarmers in November 2018, creating an independent ASX20 company

  • Delivered significant strategic and financial progress since announcing ‘Winning in our Second Century’ strategy two years ago – with most of the transformation and investment benefits still to come

  • As an ‘essential business’, Coles has emerged stronger from an extraordinary period supporting team members, customers, and community through COVID-19, bushfires and floods

  • One of Australia’s most trusted brands. Improving relationships with suppliers and the farming community: more than 60 Dairy farmers now supplying milk direct to Coles on longer term contracts allowing them to invest for future

  • Australia remains one of the most attractive food and drink markets globally, with significant opportunities being created by rapidly changing consumer needs and technology

  • Today we are outlining plans to further drive long-term sales, efficiencies, trust and shareholder value by increasing our investment in:

  • Group wide data, eCommerce, technology, and automation to deliver market leading omnichannel tailored and unique ranges

  • Acceleration of our Coles Local and Liquorland renewal & new store program focused on high quality locations and winning formats

  • Sustainability – building on our recently launched ‘Together to Zero’ and ‘Better Together’ programs

  • Strong cash generation, ROC, and balance sheet, combined with a commitment to our industry leading dividend payout ratio and associated franking credits to provide a compelling investment proposition for the millions of Australian shareholders who are either directly or indirectly investors in Coles Group

Notes: (1) Dividend payout ratio is calculated as dividends per share divided by underlying retail earnings per share (pre-AASB16 basis for FY19), excluding special dividends); (2) Coles demerged from Wesfarmers in November 2018. Wesfarmers paid an interim dividend in March 2019, which reflected in part, Coles’ earnings up to and including 27 November 2018. Coles paid a special dividend in FY19 of 11.5c per share which reflected earnings for the interim results period post demerger (28-Nov-18 to 30-Dec-18) and the 53rd week in FY19.
