1
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: This is wat them Flux.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm Brett and Justin As Wednesday, the twenty eighth of August.

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: Tolly Boy a win for the internet sleuths. Some sleuthing

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: Aussies uncovered an error in Quantus's booking system last week.

5
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: Now Quantus was accidentally selling return first class seats between

6
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: the US and Australia, but less than five grand. My friend,

7
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: that's around fifteen percent of regular price. Now, sadly Quantus

8
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: revoked the three hundred flights book but they have offered

9
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: business class seats as a gesture of goodwill.

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 2: Still not a bad result for those sleuthy Aussies. M hm,

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 2: mean man. I've been absolutely blown away over the last

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: week by the amount of new Flux users who have

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 2: come on board and used the subscription tracker. It is wild. Clearly,

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: thousands and thousands of oussies are struggling with tracking your subscriptions,

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: just like I was personally. And we've heard some great results,

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: people saying fifty dollars one hundred dollars forgetting about subscriptions

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: they didn't even know they had. So Flux am if

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: you want to track all your subscriptions in the one

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: place and have it automated for you. It's all in

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: the Flux budgeting tool.

21
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: Three salute worthy stories today. Juzzy boy, let's do it

22
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: for our first. Coles has seen its annual profit jumped

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: over one point one billion bukkaroonys coppying applause from its

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: shareholders and a heap of flak from customers and government.

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: Cole's got to be a bit sheepish about these results

26
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: during these times, So spill the beans here, b man, Well,

27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Duzzy boy Wino.

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: Coles as the big red supermarket that is numero doss

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: in the supermarket game yep.

30
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 2: Cole's currently has around twenty eight percent market share in Australia,

31
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: behind the big dog Woolies and Coals.

32
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: And Woolies have been under a heck of a lot

33
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: of scrutiny in recent times. That's true.

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: They both face the Senate inquiry in May this year

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: around price gouging customers and exploiting suppliers.

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: So when Cole's announced its annual results, it's fair to

37
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: say that many people were waiting to feast on the details.

38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: And what a feast it was. Cole's announced an annual

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: profit of one point one billion Bukkaroonis, which was up

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: over two percent from last year. But interestingly, be Man Coles,

41
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: a CEO, was kind of downplaying these results.

42
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here?

43
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: Companies in essential sect is a constantly managing the tension

44
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: between corporate success and social responsibility.

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: And doesn't wait when times are tough. That balancing act

46
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: becomes a delicate soup flame.

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: On the one hand, Coles is trying to maximize shareholder

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: value by cooking up bigger revenue and tastier profit margins.

49
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: On the other hand, it needs to demonstrate to the

50
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: public and also to regulators and government that it's also

51
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: struggling with the cost of living. Ultimately, though, the main

52
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: issue comes down to the competition in the supermarket industry.

53
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Get this, be Man Colson Willies hold about two thirds

54
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: of the market share of supermarkets in Australia and.

55
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: Less competitors means less competition on pricing.

56
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Colson Willies both have achieved profit margins of over

57
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: five percent, whereas say, in the UK, things are a

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: whole lot tighter because of the competition over there. Yep,

59
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: Tesco has a profit margin of three point eight percent

60
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: and my personal favorite Sainsbury's profit margin is.

61
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Just three percent.

62
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: Now Coals is trying to lay low with its growing

63
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: profit margin. For our second story, Bunning's office works in

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: price Line are all looking to build a new revenue stream.

65
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 2: And it's not physical products or snags.

66
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: I was actually thinking it was going to be the

67
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: juicy snail with a bit of cooked onion tomato sauce,

68
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: some of that mustard, piece of white bread wrapped in

69
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: a white serviette. Iconic stuff. Jzy boys, So tell me

70
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: what is going on here? Okay?

71
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: So if they catch you my drift, you'd know that

72
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: all three of these companies are owned by the retail

73
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: behemoth West Farmers. Yep, that enormous group that also owns

74
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: kmart target catch and they man, we know that Wessis

75
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: is always looking for a few ways to generate revenue.

76
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: But boy, you don't just revenue growth from Wessey's products,

77
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no. West Farmers is now looking to

78
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: turn their stores into prime advertising real estate retail media

79
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: as they like to call it. That's where they use

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 2: their data to target shoppers in store with ads. Who

81
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: is buying this retail media you speak of?

82
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Well, jaesy boy, generally it's suppliers who are looking for

83
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: a bigger marketing presence and.

84
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 2: Bunning's already generates around one hundred and fifty million bucks

85
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: per year from retail media.

86
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: But now West Farmers wants office Works and price Line

87
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: to join the party as well. So what is the

88
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: key learning here? Retail media is the latest shiny new

89
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: tool in the retail shed and it's becoming a serious

90
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: revenue stream.

91
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: It's all about using data to target shoppers right when

92
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: they shot and Bman Chemists Warehouse already nails the retail

93
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: media game.

94
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: It generates more than six hundred million bucks a year

95
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: through its retail media, which is around twenty percent of

96
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: its total revenue. So now West Farmers is thinking it's

97
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: time to start tapping into retail media for office Works

98
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: and Priceline as well. And Josey Boy, this is just

99
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: the beginning for retail media in Australia. In fact, it's

100
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: currently worth around one point six billion dollars per year,

101
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: but it's expected to grow to two point eight billion, Baker,

102
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: and He's by twenty twenty seven. That's according to your

103
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: friends at Morgan Stanley.

104
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: So be man, it's time to grab your safety goggles

105
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: because this market is about to blow up.

106
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: For our third and final story, Guzman Egomez has smashed

107
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: profit forecast in its first earnings update since it's IPO.

108
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 2: Geewajays the gift that keeps on giving for shareholders Beman.

109
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: So what is sizzling on this GYG grill?

110
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: Well, Josee Way Guzman Egomez or Gyg's the Mexican fast

111
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: food chain that started in Sydney in two thousand and six.

112
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 2: And since then it's expanded two hundred and twenty stores

113
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: across Australia, Japan, Singapore and now the US as well.

114
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: Now, back in June, DUIG listed on the AX and

115
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: it shares popped like a fresh tortilla chip, up thirty

116
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: six percent on day one, and.

117
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: This took GAG's marketing cap to over three billion baccaridis.

118
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: And now dozy boy. GYG has just announced its first

119
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: earnings update since it's IPO, and it is one hot

120
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: burrito yep.

121
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 2: GIG reported a net profit of five point seven million bucks,

122
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: which is up a sizzling ninety four percent from last year.

123
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: And about seventy one percent above the forecast that amount and.

124
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: They mean most of the strong results came from its

125
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 2: operations in Australia.

126
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: And interestingly enough, Dozi Boy a lot of it was

127
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: thanks to its growing Brecky sale.

128
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: So they man Gag must be majorly relieved because there's

129
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: always a lot riding on its first earnings update since

130
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 2: its typo.

131
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: So what is the key learning here?

132
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 2: As they say, you never get a second chance to

133
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: make a first impression.

134
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: When a company goes public. Its first performance against forecasts

135
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: is like the first bite of that juicy hot burrito

136
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 1: I've been talking about. Go on, Well, it's either deliciously

137
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: satisfying or it leaves a bad taste in investor's mouth.

138
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: You see a man A company's forecast shows what it

139
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: expects for its future financial performance. Now, if the company

140
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: can meet its expectations, then investors get some confidence in

141
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,599
Speaker 2: the company's management and its strategy. But if a company

142
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 2: bombs against its forecast, investors are less likely to trust

143
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: that company with their money in the future. So Goog

144
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: has proved itself to investors now, but it'll have to

145
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: show that its earnings isn't just a one off floxam.

146
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 2: If you've got a Netflix subscription, a Spotify subscription, a

147
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 2: stand subscription, a ko. You never know where it ends

148
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: and you have no idea how much of paying. That

149
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: is what the Flux Subscription Tracker is all for. We

150
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,080

152
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: You didn't mention my boy Flash. Is anyone else using

153
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: Flash in Australia or is.

154
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: It just a Your Flush doesn't exist, So if you

155

Speaker 1: Thanks for listening and we'll see you on Flash Friday
