JOHANNESBURG - Woolworths results for the year ending 29 June 2025, show a 6.1% rise in turnover despite ongoing global and economic challenges.
The retailer delivered strong growth, with food sales up 11%, supported by online sales and innovation.
However, the Country Road Group in Australia saw a 5.4% drop in sales, hit by weak consumer demand and high discounting.
Group adjusted earnings fell 3.8% to R8.7-billion, while headline earnings per share dropped 23.9%.
Despite the hurdles, the Group is confident recent investments will boost performance in the coming year.
