Coles Group reports over $1bn in profits as Supermarkets revenues continue to grow

Coles Group has reported a 3.6% increase in sales revenue for the financial year, with Supermarkets sales revenue growing by 4.3% and Liquor sales revenue by 1.1%.

Statutory net profit came in at $1.08bn for the 2025 financial year, down 3.5% year-on-year, however, this was adjusted to account for the previous financial year (FY24) having an extra week in its reporting period (53), compared to 52 weeks in the most recent financial year, and as a result, Coles’ normalised profit, it says, rose 2.4%.

Supermarkets reported an underlying EBITDA and EBIT increase of 11.6% and 8.3% respectively, with an EBIT margin increase of 21 basis points. Financing costs rose by $99 million to $541 million, with lease-related financing costs increasing by $62 million. Non-lease financing costs increased by $37 million, influenced by a higher weighted average debt and interest rate.

The company reported a 24.4% growth in eCommerce sales in Supermarkets and a 7.2% increase in Liquor. The ‘Simplify and Save to Invest’ program delivered $327 million in benefits, with a target of $1 billion over four years. Liquorland banner simplification commenced following a successful pilot in South Australia, Victoria, and Queensland.

Coles launched 970 Exclusive to Coles products and 196 Exclusive Liquor Brand products.

Flybuys active members increased by 4.4% to 9.9 million, with a 13.3% increase in points redemption through Coles supermarkets. The transition of next-day home delivery volumes to Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs) in Melbourne and Sydney was completed.

Coles Group CEO Leah Weckert stated: “In FY25 we maintained a consistent focus on our strategic priorities. We were clear that value, quality and availability remained important to our customers. In addition, continuing to manage loss and delivering on our Simplify and Save to Invest commitments remained key to achieving our financial objectives. We made good progress in each of these areas resulting in increased customer satisfaction scores and earnings growth.

“At the same time, we delivered several major milestones in our capital investment program, including the launch of our Kemps Creek ADC and two CFCs, and these investments are already delivering results. Pleasingly, we also achieved our highest ever team member engagement score. Our more than 115,000 team members are critical to the success of Coles. They often go above and beyond to support our customers and serve our local communities. We are proud of the work they have done this year, particularly in responding to events including Cyclone Alfred and the severe floods which impacted communities in Far North Queensland and Northern New South Wales, and I would again like to acknowledge their efforts,” she said.
