Emily shares her thoughts on the recent reporting data from JB Hi-Fi (JBH). Delivering a strong first-half performance and exceeding consensus expectations. Despite a competitive environment and cost pressures, JB Hi-Fi managed margins better than anticipated. JBH reported group topline sales growth of 10% and underlying NPAT up 8% for the half.

Steven reviews CAR’s 1H25 results, which, on a pro forma and adjusted basis, appear to be a slight miss versus Visible Alpha (VA) consensus on a pro forma and adjusted EBITDA basis (-2%). Revenue is somewhat messy, as VA consensus still seems to include the Tyres business revenue. However, on a statutory basis, revenue is approximately 2% ahead of expectations.

CSL's 1H25 results were slightly below expectations, mainly due to a US$36m foreign exchange impact on NPATA, which totaled US$2,074m. Revenue grew 5% to US$8,483m, driven by strong performance in the Behring division (+10% cc), with notable growth in plasma collections and Immunoglobulin sales (+15% cc).

Breville Group (BRG) delivered a solid 1H25 result with revenue up 10% and NPAT up 16%, slightly beating consensus. Global product performance drove this growth, with all geographies seeing double-digit revenue increases. Strong performances in new markets like China and the Middle East, alongside positive NPD launches, were key highlights.
