The group’s eponymous website, e-colesmyer, turned over A$142m (US$71.8m) in the six months to 31 December last year. Managing director Jon Wood has since hinted however that some of its operations are unprofitable.


Coles Myer has said that it will not discuss the status of its online division, but analysts have criticised the group for inconsistencies in performance throughout the different websites of its e-operations.
