To the annual general meeting of The Reject Shop Limited. My name is Steven Fisher, and I'm the non-executive chair of the company. Thank you all for attending today's meeting. While this online format may be familiar to some shareholders, I acknowledge that it may be less so for others. You may also participate in the meeting via telephone. To do so, the dial-in details are being displayed on the screen. Irrespective of your method of attending this meeting, I assure you that we will have the same opportunity to participate today as you would at a physical meeting. This includes being able to ask questions through the online platform and on the telephones. We'll also vote using an electronic voting card. We'll discuss these procedures a little later. If we experience technical issues that impact the meeting, I'll assess the circumstances and communicate further with you. If this isn't possible, you will be informed on how and when to rejoin the meeting. I would like to introduce your board of directors, who are all online with us. David Grant, who's chair of the Audit and Risk Committee, Nick Perkins, and Margaret Zabel, chair of the People and Culture Committee. I would also like to introduce some of the members of the executive leadership team who are with us. Clinton Cahn, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Amy Eshuys, our Chief Operating Officer, and Michael Freier, the Company Secretary. Michael has informed me that a quorum is present, and I declare the meeting open. I advise the meeting that Brad Peake, who represents our auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, is present and is available for any questions you may have, relevant to the audit of The Reject Shop or the auditors' report. Today, our items of formal business comprise the receipt and consideration of the annual report, the adoption of the REM report, and the re-election of David Grant as non-executive director of the company, the re-election of Nick Perkins as non-executive director of the company, and the approval of potential termination benefits. Before we turn to the formal business of the meeting, I'll address you, followed by Clinton Cahn, our CEO and CFO. The company reported a strong FY 2023 result in a challenging macroeconomic environment through an improving merchandise offer, which is now more closely aligned to the company's core customer. The management team continues to work hard to embed the new merchandise strategy. The strategy is primarily focused on offering customers low prices on branded household essentials, as well as more newness and greater variety at lower price points across the general merchandise and seasonal offerings. The Reject Shop delivered sales of AUD 819.3 million, pre-IFRS 16 earnings before interest and tax of AUD 13.3 million, and pre-IFRS 16 net profit after tax of AUD 10.5 million. The company's balance sheet remains strong, with AUD 77.3 million in cash and no drawn debt at 2 July 2023. At the time of the release of the FY 2023 results, the board was pleased to appoint Clinton Cahn as the Chief Executive Officer of the company. Shareholders will be very familiar with Clinton, as he has been the company's Chief Financial Officer for the last three years. Given the strong balance sheet at the FY 2023 results, the company decided to reinstate the payment of dividends and undertake a further on-market share buyback of up to AUD 10 million. The company has reinstated its previous dividend policy to maintain a minimum dividend payout ratio of 60% of net profits after tax, subject to the underlying profitability and financial requirements of the company, which will be assessed periodically. Going forward, the company will retain flexibility in deciding how much of the annual dividend is declared as an interim or final dividend. The buyback commenced in mid-September, and a fully franked dividend of AUD 0.16 per ordinary share, comprising a final dividend of AUD 0.065 and a special dividend of AUD 0.095, will be payable to shareholders registered at 5:00 P.M. on Friday, the twentieth of October, 2023. Mark Borg resigned from the board in July 2023. Although only with the company for a short period, I thank Mark for his contribution to the company. I would like to thank all team members across the country for your continued and sustained efforts, and express my gratitude to my board colleagues, our shareholders, customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders for your support and encouragement throughout the year. It is very much appreciated. Christmas is an important time of the year for many within our community, and The Reject Shop is ready to play its part in helping all Australians to save and celebrate. Pleasingly, our initial Christmas stock has arrived. It's set up in-store, looks terrific, and is selling in line with expectations. It always feels a little premature to offer Christmas greetings in October. With that said, I sincerely wish all of our shareholders a merry Christmas and a prosperous and happy New Year. Thank you, and I will now invite Clinton Cahn to address shareholders. Thank you, Steve, and good morning, fellow shareholders. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to present to you today on behalf of our 4,000-plus team members across our 380 stores, three distribution centers, and store support center.... We are pleased to again report that in FY 2023, The Reject Shop achieved its strongest profit result in the last five financial years, delivered solid comp sales growth, and resumed the payment of dividends. Each of our team members played a key part in delivering the FY 2023 result for our shareholders, and we all remain committed to bringing joy to our customers on every visit to The Reject Shop, while also helping all Australians save money every day. I'd like to thank each and every one of our team members for their contribution and hard work during FY 2023. Our priorities in FY 24 are simple: continue growing sales by executing our new merchandise strategy and continue to expand our national store network, all underpinned by a strong culture that is closely aligned to the company's purpose and values. As usual, the company will continue to work hard to improve its gross profit margin and manage the cost of doing business, particularly having regard to the high inflation environment that presently exists. During FY 24, we will also continue to explore and invest in strategic projects across the business, particularly in supply chain and technology, to minimize risk and enable efficiencies and growth. As shareholders who have recently visited our stores will know, we have been surprising and delighting our customers in FY 2024 with low prices on branded household essentials, as well as more newness and variety at lower price points across The Reject Shop's general merchandise and seasonal offering. With cost of living pressures remaining elevated, we continue to see strong customer demand for low-priced consumables that represent great value, particularly branded products. We expect this demand to continue throughout FY 2024, and have increased our stock levels accordingly. During the Q1 of FY 2024, the new and improved kitchen, home, and garden ranges were featured in the promotional space within our stores as part of our spring event. We also introduced new core ranges across party, garden, hardware, kitchen, as well as stationery and craft. The customer response to these new ranges has been very encouraging. We're also excited to introduce customers to our new Halloween and Christmas ranges, which launched in store during September. Given the challenging macro environment, we have been focused on lowering the average selling prices on products within these ranges to ensure that as many Australians as possible can afford to celebrate these events. We are pleased with the performance of our Halloween offering to date, and the initial customer response to our Christmas range has been in line with our expectations. Pleasingly, comp store sales growth during the first 15 weeks of FY 2024 continues to be up on the prior corresponding period and is tracking in line with our expectations. We also remain focused on improving our profit margin in FY 2024, noting that, like most Australian retailers, the company is subject to a number of inflationary headwinds, which are putting pressure on its cost base. We expect total sales growth in FY 2024 to also be supported by new store openings. The company is targeting to open 15 new stores in FY 2024 and to close 8-10 stores. During the half, the company has so far opened four new stores and closed four stores, which results in the store network currently consisting of 380 stores, up from 372 stores at last year's AGM. As you know, the Q2 is a key trading period for our business, and I look forward to providing an update on our performance at the half year results in February 2024. The macroeconomic and consumer environment is uncertain, and we are pleased that our strong balance sheet positions us well to navigate through any potential volatility in the trading environment. We're also acutely aware that The Reject Shop plays a critical role in supporting Australians who are currently faced with significant cost of living pressures. We do this by helping our customers save money on branded, everyday essential items, such as cleaning products, toiletries, personal hygiene products, kids' lunchbox snacks, and pet food. In addition, and as I noted earlier, our team has worked hard to lower the prices of our seasonal offering so that it is more affordable for our customers to celebrate Halloween and Christmas with their friends and families. The Reject Shop is Australia's largest discount variety retailer, and we have a track record of helping customers save money for over forty years. We remain committed to ensuring that every visit to The Reject Shop brings joy and savings to our customers. I'd like to invite all Australians, including our shareholders and customers, to shop at any one of our 380 stores across Australia to experience our new product offering and save money. To our shareholders, thank you for your ongoing support and long-term commitment to our business. I want to acknowledge the privilege and opportunity that I have to lead your company. I am determined, with the support of my team, to continuously improve The Reject Shop's performance and deliver sustainable long-term value for all shareholders. I'll now hand you back to Steve for the next part of today's meeting. Thank you, Clinton, for your comments. Okay, we'll move to the ordinary business. The notice of meeting was made available electronically on the 15th of September, 2023, on the ASX platform and through The Reject Shop's website. All take the notice of meeting as read. Before we turn to the formal business of the meeting, I will ask our company secretary, Michael, to acquaint you with the procedures and processes for today's meeting. Thank you, Steve.
