Analysis

What do Woolworths' (WOW) revenue and profit margins look like over time?

Woolworths Group's reported sales revenue rose from $58.3B in FY2016 to $69.1B in FY2025, with a temporary decline to $53.1B in FY2020. Gross profit grew alongside revenue, reaching $18.8B in FY2025, and the gross profit ratio has generally sat in the high-20s percent range in years where it was disclosed, including 29.3% in FY2021 and 27.2% in FY2025; the ratio was not disclosed in the company's reported figures for FY2016 and FY2019.

Operating income has been considerably choppier than revenue, ranging from $2.8B in FY2023, a 4.3% operating margin, down to a negative $1.0B in FY2025, a margin of -1.5%. Despite the negative operating result in FY2025, net income for that year was still positive at $963M, a 1.4% net margin, following a particularly weak FY2024 in which net income was just $108M on a 0.2% net margin.

Diluted earnings per share have mirrored this unevenness, moving from a loss of $0.977 in FY2016 to a peak of $2.049 in FY2019, then down to $0.0885 in FY2024 before partially recovering to $0.78 in FY2025.

How strong is Woolworths Group's (WOW) balance sheet?

Woolworths Group's reported balance sheet has grown over the past decade, with total assets rising from $23.5B in FY2016 to $33.8B in FY2025. Total liabilities grew faster over the same stretch, from $14.7B to $28.9B, while shareholder equity fell from $8.8B to $4.9B. As a result, the ratio of liabilities to equity has widened from roughly 1.7x in FY2016 to close to 5.9x in FY2025, a shift that shows liabilities occupying a much larger share of the funding structure than a decade earlier.

Combined short-term debt and long-term loans stood at about $5.5B in FY2025 ($244M short-term plus $5.3B long-term), versus $4.9B of equity, putting debt at roughly 1.1x equity, up from about 0.5x in FY2016 when debt of $4.4B compared with $8.8B of equity. Equity reached its lowest point in FY2021 at $1.7B, when total liabilities of $37.5B sat against total assets of $39.2B, before recovering to $6.0B in FY2022 and $6.4B in FY2023, then declining again to $5.4B in FY2024 and $4.9B in FY2025.

Cash held on the balance sheet was $1.3B in FY2025, close to the $948M reported in FY2016, and has ranged between roughly $0.9B and $2.1B across the decade, with the high point in FY2020. Retained earnings climbed from $3.1B in FY2016 to a peak of $8.6B in FY2023, then eased to $7.4B in FY2024 and $6.7B in FY2025, marking two consecutive years of decline in an otherwise upward trend across the reported record.

How much cash does Woolworths (WOW) generate and return to shareholders?

Operating cash flow at Woolworths Group grew from $2.36B in FY2016 to $4.55B in FY2025, peaking at $4.8B in FY2023. Capital expenditure rose over the same period, from $1.94B in FY2016 to $2.53B in FY2025, leaving free cash flow at $2.02B in FY2025, below the $2.42B high recorded in FY2020 but well above the $419M low reported in FY2016.

Dividend payments have generally trended higher, from $1.22B in FY2016 to $1.66B in FY2025, the largest cash dividend outlay across the period shown. Share buybacks have been far less consistent: the company spent $2.13B on buybacks in FY2022, its largest reported figure, but only $25M in FY2025, suggesting dividends rather than buybacks have been the primary channel for returning cash to shareholders in recent years.
