Coles Group Ltd has reported a strong 2025 half year financial performance, with growth in sales, EBIT and NPAT. The company continued to focus on executing its strategic priorities, including investing in value, quality and innovation to enhance the customer experience. This included successful value campaigns, improvements in fresh produce and meat quality, and the launch of new exclusive products. Coles also saw continued growth in its digital channels, with eCommerce penetration increasing across all shopping missions and the Coles App seeing a 55% increase in monthly active users. The company's network of Automated Distribution Centres (ADCs) and Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs) successfully supported periods of peak demand, with the CFCs delivering a significant uplift in perfect order rate. Coles also made progress on its Simplify and Save to Invest program, delivering $157 million in benefits and improving the total loss rate by 39 basis points. The company's supply chain and store operations demonstrated resilience and flexibility during a period of industry disruption. Coles also continued to support its team members, suppliers, communities and the environment, including being named the #1 corporate giver in Australia for the 5th consecutive year.
Coles expects to deliver a cash realisation ratio of ~100% for the full year, with the impact of the additional payment run in the first half reversing in the second half.
