OUTLOOK

BRANDS UPDATE

Rip Curl wholesale order books remain strongly above pre-COVID levels.

Kathmandu enters the traditionally strong winter season well prepared.

Oboz Vietnam based factories have reopened following COVID shutdowns and are ramping up production.

2H OUTLOOK

Second half gross margins are currently expected to be in line with last year based on promotional plans, and expectations of international freight costs and currency impacts.

COVID continues to cause ongoing disruption to our consumers and employees, particularly in the current New Zealand Omicron outbreak. Some supply challenges are beginning to ease, while forward demand for our products remains at record levels.

The second half is traditionally the strongest cash generating period.

The Group is well capitalised, investing in the long-term international expansion of our global house of brands.

1. Adjusted same store sales removes stores that were not able to open for a comparable period in either year because of COVID closures.
