At the time, no one could have imagined how the rest of the year would unfold with the devastating impact of COVID-19. Our main priority for F21 is making COVIDSafe a part of everything we do. I again want to recognise the way our team has continued to respond to the ongoing challenges, and I continue to be inspired by our team's collective commitment to do the right thing. “COVID-19 had a material impact on the Group’s financial performance for the year. After strong first half Group EBIT1 growth of 11.4%, EBIT growth in H2 was distorted by COVID. The closure of Hotels for much of the last four months of the financial year led to a material decline in its H2 EBIT compared to the prior year. However, the impact of the closures was partially offset by strong sales-driven EBIT growth across our retail businesses, despite materially higher customer and team safety costs.

    Foreign Agricultural Service GAIN Report Global Agriculture Information Network Voluntary Report - public distribution Date: 12/10/2002 GAIN Report #AS2042 Australia Product Brief Confectionery Products 2002 Approved by: Andrew C. Burst U.S. Embassy Prepared by: Australian Centre for Retail Studies Report Highlights: Within the global confectionery market, Australia is ranked 11th for sugar confectionery consumption and 9th for chocolate. Nine out of ten people regularly consume confectionery from both the chocolate and sugar confectionery categories. Approximately 55 percent of confectionery sales are through supermarkets, with the remaining 45 percent sold through outlets such as milk-bars, convenience stores and specialty shops. New products are introduced fairly regularly to the Australian confectionery market; however highly innovative products are less common and this may be an area that offers opportunities for U.S. exporters to be successful in this market. In 2001, Australia was the 15th largest export market for U.S. confectionery products.

The magnitude of the differences is, in most cases, small and the provision of the data, even though slightly different, is to provide the U.S. exporter with the best possible picture of the Australian Confectionery Sector where omission may have provided less than that.

  • Submission 65
    Productivity Commission Performance Benchmarking of Australian Business Regulation: Planning, Zoning and Development Assessments 28 September 2010 Woolworths Limited - Submission regarding Productivity Commission Performance Benchmarking of Australian Business Regulation: Planning, Zoning and Development Assessments 2 1 Executive Summary Woolworths Limited welcomes the opportunity to provide input into the Productivity Commission’s Performance Benchmarking review of planning, zoning and development approval frameworks across Australia. With some of the most recognised and trusted brands in Australian retailing, Woolworths currently makes a significant contribution to economic development and employment across the country. Woolworths has over 3,100 stores across Australia consisting of Woolworths and Safeway supermarkets, BIG W department stores, Dick Smith electronics outlets, Woolworths Petrol sites and Dan Murphy’s and BWS liquor outlets. These stores are supported by a network of Distribution Centres and support offices. Woolworths also recently acquired the Danks hardware wholesale business and will shortly be injecting new competition into the hardware market in Australia. This will be through the launch of a chain of large-format home improvement outlets in a joint venture with the Lowes Group of Companies. Woolworths plans to secure 150 sites for these stores in the next five years. Woolworths plays a particularly important role in the development of retail facilities across Australia – our stores are often the anchor stores in shopping centres developed by third parties. Woolworths is also a major developer of shopping centres and stores in our own right. This was particularly significant during the recent global financial crisis when it was increasingly difficult for shopping centre developers to obtain development finance.
