Aug 17 (Reuters) - Australian retail-to-mining conglomerate Wesfarmers Ltd (WES) on Thursday posted a record annual profit but just missed analyst forecasts, boosted by the coal and home improvement units although supermarket sales were flat.
The owner of the country's No. 2 grocery chain and discount department stores Target and Kmart said net profit for the year to end-June was A$2.87 billion ($2.27 billion), up from A$407 million a year ago, marginally missing the A$2.90 billion average forecast of 9 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
The company declared a final dividend of A$1.20 per share, up from A$0.95 a share last year. ($1 = 1.2618 Australian dollars)
