Outlook

The Group's primary focus has been on building strong foundations for margin recovery to drive sustainable growth, with a series of initiatives implemented to support improved intake margin, deliver 'uniquely Michael Hill' product newness and mix at higher margins, and disciplined retail execution, all of which is underpinned by a reset of the business's operational rhythm and promotional cadence. The Group has also established an AI Centre of Excellence and is trialling a new consignment stock model to provide immediate and direct working capital benefits.
