AGGREGATED SALES REVENUE

FOR THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

UP 15.3%

The Directors of Harvey Norman Holdings Limited announce that the aggregated sales revenue from Harvey Norman® wholly-ownedcompany-operated stores in New Zealand, Slovenia, Croatia, Ireland and Northern Ireland, majority-owned controlled company-operated stores in Singapore and Malaysia, and from independent Harvey Norman®, Domayne® and Joyce Mayne® branded franchised complexes in Australia (Aggregated Sales) totalled $9.49 billion for the twelve (12) months ended 30 June 2021. When compared to Aggregated Sales for the twelve (12) months ended 30 June 2020, the increase was 15.3%. Comparable Aggregated Sales for the twelve (12) months ended 30 June 2021 when compared to the twelve (12) months ended 30 June 2020, increased by 13.9%. Sales made by franchisees in Australia are not made by Harvey Norman Holdings Limited or its controlled entities.

Aggregated Sales have been negatively affected by a 3.1% depreciation in the Euro (€), a 3.9% depreciation in the UK Pound (£GBP), a 7.6% depreciation in the Singaporean dollar ($SGD), a 8.4% depreciation in the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) and a 1.8% depreciation the New Zealand dollar ($NZD) for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 compared to the financial year ended 30 June 2020.

During the twelve (12) months ended 30 June 2021, twelve (12) company-operated stores were opened as follows:

  • two (2) new stores were opened in Ireland: Galway City on 22 July and Sligo on 5 November 2020;
  • one (1) new store at Pula, Croatia was opened on 26 November 2020;
  • three (3) new stores were opened in Malaysia: KL East Mall on 25 November, Menara on 5 December and Quayside Mall on 19 December 2020:
  • three (3) new stores were opened in Singapore: Seletar Mall on 15 September, The Centrepoint on 22 September and Westgate on 25 November 2020.
  • two (2) Harvey Norman® outlets in New Zealand were opened at Dunedin on 8 August and Glen Innes on 26 October 2020, and one (1) commercial showroom at Grey Lynn was opened on 15 October 2020.

The above company-operated store openings overseas were offset by one (1) store closure during the financial year ended 30 June 2021, with the closure of the store at Kinex Mall in Singapore on 27 September 2020.

In Australia, the new premium-format Harvey Norman® franchised complex was opened at Hornsby, NSW on 2 October 2020 and three small-format Harvey Norman® franchised complexes were closed during the financial year ended 30 June 2021.

Rolling lockdowns in most States and Territories of Australia have affected sales in July and August 2021, even though Contactless Click & Collect and home delivery are operating for customers from 192 Australian franchised complexes. Over 15 million people, or approximately 58% of the Australian population, are currently in lockdown. However, we expect spending to recover quickly as we saw when lockdown restrictions were eased in our overseas markets due to pent-up demand.

Malaysia closed from 1 June 2021 due to large outbreaks of COVID-19 in the country. Malaysian stores commenced limited opening to customers from 21 August 2021. On 18 August 2021, New Zealand went into Level 4 lockdown with no store click and collect permitted, but contactless home delivery allowed. Our other 5 countries have been open in July and August 2021.

With the exception of Malaysia which was significantly affected by the lockdowns during this period, the above post year-end trading update reflects a continued elevated customer demand with solid headline sales growth rates ahead of the comparable period in July and August 2019.
