- Blackwoods' revenue increased due to growth across major trading regions and from strategic
customers in Australia, particularly in mining, utilities and manufacturing, and continued demand in
New Zealand

uniforms. Revenues from industrial workwear brands increased, including KingGee and Hard Yakka

Revenue growth partially offset by divestment of Greencap consulting business on 1 August 2022
Earnings growth of 8.7% to $100m
Blackwoods' earnings were below the prior year, with higher sales offset by the margin impact of
inflationary cost pressures and the timing lag in changes to customer contract pricing, continued
investment in customer service and digital capabilities (including completing ERP implementation)
and costs associated with the impact from domestic supply chain disruptions
- Workwear Group's earnings increased on the prior year, supported by higher sales and margins,
partially offset by costs associated with the impact from domestic supply chain disruptions in both
Australia and New Zealand
· Coregas' earnings growth was supported by higher sales, partially offset by higher material, energy
and distribution costs
Earnings include a modest gain on sale associated with the divestment of Greencap in 1H23
