Retail group TFG’s online sales now make up almost 10% of its turnover, more than double the market average.
The Foschini Group’s online sales now make up almost 10% of the JSE-listed retail group’s turnover, or more than double the market average.

Announcing its interim results for the six months to end-September 2023, TFG said group online retail turnover rose 23.9% year on year to reach R2.6-billion, contributing 9.8% of the total. It attributed the growth to a strong performance by its South African businesses.

Despite tough economic conditions, TFG lifted group revenue by 12.9% to R28.4-billion, supported by the “continued expansion of our footprint and brand portfolio, and further growth in online retail turnover in South Africa”.

Retail turnover rose 12.4% to reach R26.4-billion. Headline earnings per share, however, fell by 15.3% due to higher financing costs. It declared an interim dividend of R1.50/share, down from R1.70/share a year ago.
