“As market leader we remain in the best position to take advantage of the continued shift from offline to online driven by changing customer preferences and demographic shifts. Our strategy of being a category specialist, with a clear customer offering built around the largest range of furniture and homewares in the country, combined with the most inspirational content and the best customer service is working” said Coulter.

“It’s also great to see our longer-term growth opportunities starting to shine, such as our Trade & Commercial division, which grew 75% year on year.

Trading Update and Outlook

The second half has started well with YoY revenue growth of >50% (to Jan 31).

Temple & Webster is committed to a high growth strategy to take advantage of the structural shift towards online, however we do remain watchful of the competitive and macroeconomic environment.

TPW will be reinvesting short term operating leverage into growth initiatives such as Technology & Data, Mobile App, Trade & Commercial, Private Label and Logistics, while remaining profitable.

This reinvestment strategy supports Temple & Webster’s stated goal of becoming the first place Australians turn to when shopping for their homes and work spaces.
