Gross margin was 21.5% (HY12: 21.2%) and cost of doing business was 13.8% (HY12: 13.6%), resulting in EBIT of $123.7 million (HY12: $120.7 million) and an EBIT margin of 6.8% (HY12: 6.8%).

JB Hi-Fi CEO, Terry Smart, said “We are pleased with the result, with total sales growing and the improved
gross margin resulting in NPAT growth over the prior period. Whilst we continue to see total sales growth, the
Visual (TV) category in particular negatively impacted comparative store growth.” 

Smart said “the industry has seen TV sales decline over the past few years as the category moves towards a more typical replacement driven sales market. The JB brand however continued to attract customers with our market share growing solidly.”
