FY23 results for Wesfarmers were in line with consensus estimates and a marginal beat against Morgans forecasts with earnings for both Kmart and Officeworks outperforming.

More negatively, the analyst points out Catch losses accelerated to -$163m versus -$88m in the prior year, while the group EBIT margin fell by -100bps to 8.9%.

Over the first seven weeks of FY24, management noted Kmart sales growth remained strong but had moderated from the 2H FY23 level, while Bunnings sales growth was in line. Officeworks sales were flat on the prior year.

The company was positive on the outlook for the retail businesses while the Chemicals, Energy & Fertiliser (WESCEF) segment earnings (ex-lithium) are expected to fall significantly in FY24, due to lower ammonia prices and higher input gas costs.

The FY23 dividend of 191cps was comfortably ahead of the 184.5cps and 179cps expected by consensus and the broker, respectively.

The Add rating is unchanged and the target slips to $55.15 from $55.50.

FORECAST
Morgans forecasts a full year FY24 dividend of 190.70 cents and EPS of 217.40 cents.
Morgans forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 217.50 cents and EPS of 248.20 cents.
