Woolworths NZ reports 42 percent drop in pre-tax earnings

From Morning Report, 7:45 am on 22 February 2024

Woolworths New Zealand has reported a 42 percent drop in pre-tax earnings to $71 million in the 6 months ending in December.

The result came the same day as the company's Australia-based chief executive Brad Banducci resigned, days after a disastrous interview over sky-high food prices.

Woolworths declined our invitation to come on the programme.

Consumer NZ head of research and advocacy Gemma Rasmussen spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
