2026 Half Year Results Release
27 February 2026
Coles delivered strong H1 2026 earnings growth with reported NPAT of $511m (-11.3% yoy) impacted by a $165m after-tax Fair Work Ombudsman provision, but underlying NPAT of $676m grew 12.5%. Supermarkets drove momentum with 3.6% sales growth (6.1% adjusted) and EBIT up 14.6%, supported by eCommerce growth of 27%, automation benefits, and improved customer satisfaction; Liquor faced headwinds with sales down 3.2% amid market softness and competitive intensity, though convenience format showed promise. Management expects continued competitive market but maintains confidence in value positioning and omnichannel capabilities. Key points: Supermarkets EBIT grew 14.6% to $1,234m, with strong sales momentum of 3.6% (6.1% adjusted) underpinned by focus on value and execution; eCommerce sales accelerated 27.0% to $2.8b with penetration of 13.1%; CFC volumes outpacing total eCommerce growth with same-day delivery expanded to Melbourne and Sydney; Underlying NPAT grew 12.5% to $676m, reflecting strong earnings growth and absence of major project costs incurred in prior period ($92m)
