The company said the increase in net profit for the six months to 2 February was helped by a strong performance by its recent New Zealand supermarket acquisition, the 85-store Woolworths New Zealand.
“Our latest indications are that fiscal 2003 synergy benefits [from Woolworths NZ] will exceed NZ$26m (US$14.2m), well in excess of the original NZ$10m forecast and we expect these will continue to increase,” Managing Director Trevor Coates was quoted by Dow Jones International News as saying.
Foodland recorded a 51% increase in first-half sales to A$3.22bn.
