Great result. Would have bought some a few days were I not already facing liquidity issues from too many deals I couldn't refuse!

HLG activity generated $35.3m in cash
Spent (invested) a net $8.3m on store fitouts etc (capex)
That left $27.0m free cash
Giving $26.2m back to shareholders
That’s the way it should work
No debt, cash in the bank means a lot. Some say that’s lazy capital management but I reckon it’s a good situation. And some would say that the $88m of lease obligations is a form of capital anyway.

I am not sure what I call lease obligations?
They are a liability that is ongoing and must be met.
All well and good,or acceptable, while the retailer is trading well, and is profitable.
But as an investors we must be well aware of the liability, should the retailer lose favour with its customers.
Seeing the growing online success HLG are achieving, does add to the strength of the business,making them less dependant on expensive store rents.
I do note HLG have great retail sites,although they pay through the nose for mall sites.
Always good seeing HLG closing stores, and recycling the capital into new better located stores.

Can't disagree with that winner. Great result and looking forward to the fat divie. Beyond even myself how I ended up with a retail stock as 25% of my portfolio but pleased about it right now :-)

Cashflow is what it is all about and that is robust. Makes one wonder how so few in retail can actually pull it off.

i agree with you Raz that HLG make this seem too easy , why aren't the other guys keeping up? Just reading the "signs" I'll take a wager that Easybuy bites the dust within the next 12 months. They are acting like a company in serious distress.

Here's a few more numbers to add your lot Winner. @$5.85 the divi is 7.5% after tax.(that's 10.4%gross) . A PE of 12.6 which is historically about right for HLG.
i reckon the Pe should actually rise to about 13.5 -14.5 now given the evidential growth with Aussy and online. That makes the share price about $6.20-$6.65 . But to temper that, the huge lift in profit last year included a bumper summer season so I won't be rushing out Monday add some more. Besides I'd have to sell some OCA first, sacre-Bleu.

Doesn't matter how you ended up with that percentage, the main thing is that you are Extremely well positioned.

Very impressive growth in online sales. Excellent result, superb stock turn, solid sales growth since balance date, great dividend. My sense is all the preceding is already substantively built into the current price.....whereas it was great buying 2 years ago at $2.70
