The Hour Glass's profit after tax drops 10% to $157.6m in FY24
New Zealand’s tax changes impacted profit.
Specialist watch retailer The Hour Glass saw its profit after tax (PAT) decline 10% YoY to $157.6m in FY24.
In a bourse filing, the retailer said the one-off deferred tax charge of $4.7m incurred due to a change in New Zealand’s tax regulations impacted its profit after tax.
Lower PAT resulted in a 9% YoY decline in profit attributable to company owners, which amounted to $156.5m.
With lower profits, the company declared earnings per share (EPS) of $0.2387, 8% lower than the $0.2591 record in FY23.
