The above Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Basis of accounting
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group are general purpose financial statements, which have been prepared
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, and other authoritative pronouncements
issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB). Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures
that the Financial Report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Consequently, this Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with and complies
with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments
that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values as at the end of each reporting period, as explained inthe accounting
policies. The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Consolidated Financial
Statements, unless otherwise stated.
Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period's presentation. This includes the
reclassification of the costs of running the distribution centres from branch and administration expenses to cost of sales,
which is consistent with the Group's current recognition of freight costs within cost of sales. This has resulted in better
overall visibility of the margins of the products that the Group sells to enable appropriate accountability and support better
end-to-end decision making. Separately, the Group has reclassified the presentation of its eCommerce overheads from
cost of sales to branch and administration expenses to align with the current period's presentation of other similar costs,
such as store labour in branch and administration expenses.
This has resulted in the following reclassifications for the comparative period within the Consolidated Statement of Profit or Loss:

For segment reporting purposes, the Australian Food segment now includes amounts relating to Woolworths at Work,
the Group's B2B-focused eCommerce business, which was previously reported in Australian B2B. This better reflects the
integrated nature of Woolworths at Work within Australian Food, in particular, the fulfilment of Woolworths at Work orders
from supermarkets and customer fulfilment centres. As a result, the comparative amounts for both the Australian Food
and Australian B2B reportable segments have been restated in Note 2.2.1 and Note 2.2.2.
