Harvey Norman chalked up a strong rise in profits and a slight increase in sales for the first half of its 2016 year.
The retailer's net profit after tax rose 30.7 percent to hit $185.51 million for the six months ending 31 December, as global revenues rose 8 percent to hit $3.3 billion.
Harvey Norman chairman Gerry Harvey said: “Harvey Norman is a homemaker, lifestyle and connected home retail concept and the appeal and strong positioning of the franchise offering is apparent in these results today.
