CANBERA (dpa-AFX) - Woolworths Group Limited (WOW.AX) reported that its
third quarter group sales rose 2.8% to A$16.80 billion from A$16.34 billion in
the prior year.

Looking ahead, the company said it expects trading conditions to be challenging
for the next twelve months due to competition for customer shopping baskets and
as inflation returns to a very low single digit range.

year-over-year to A$12.58 billion.

Australian B2B total sales for the quarter increased 3.2% year-over-year to

exited businesses in the prior year, Australian B2B sales increased by 5.1%.

adjusted basis with comparable sales growth of 1.5%.
