How we measure our online growth
Source: Ink Nurse’s Shopify sales reporting, retrieved 30 September 2026. The comparison uses 1 January–31 August in each year, in AUD. Net sales reflect sales after discounts and returns, excluding shipping and tax. The all-channel increase is rounded from 108.1%.
The Online Store channel grew 250% over the same period (rounded from 250.1%). Channel mix changed between years, so this channel result should be read alongside the all-channel figure. Shopify-recorded sales are not consolidated company revenue and do not include wholesale sales recorded outside Shopify.
These are company-reported management figures, not audited financial statements. Media can request supporting context through the contact below.

Supporting continued Chemist Warehouse growth
September replenishment correspondence from Chemist Warehouse identified sales growth as the reason for additional distribution-centre orders. It builds on a partnership first rolled out in September 2024.
Company update, supported by retailer correspondence. Inside Retail reported distribution across 600+ Chemist Warehouse stores in October 2025; that is a dated footprint, not a newly audited 2026 store count.
