• New Zealand segment down 6.2%.
Total sales for the Group were up 3.2% for the first eight weeks of FY25.
Managing Director & CEO of Michael Hill International Limited, Daniel Bracken said:
“The first eight weeks sales performance has been encouraging, with positive performances from both Australia and
Canada, and some improvement in New Zealand where conditions still remain more challenging. As we plan for the year
ahead, initiatives are underway to drive sales and productivity, enhance margin, optimise inventory and prioritise
operational expenditure across the Group.”
