Armin Burger, Chief Executive Officer at O`KEY Group, commented:

“The Group reported strong operational results in both the hypermarket and discounter businesses in Q3 2021. O’KEY hypermarkets showed a 3.8% like-for-like revenue growth in Q3 2021, a speed-up compared to the Q2 2021 results. We are very pleased with the O`KEY performance, especially given the challenging comparable period of Q3 2020 that saw the easing of the pandemic-related lockdown and start of recovery in customer traffic. O`KEY continuously works to enhance its competitive edge and boost the efficiency of selling space use. We also keep redesigning our hypermarkets and are going to reopen under the new concept two stores in St Petersburg, as well as relaunch a newly acquired hypermarket in Moscow in Q4 2021.

“DA! discounters also demonstrated accelerated growth compared to Q2 2021 and delivered an impressive 40.0% YoY revenue increase, with 21.6% LFL performance in Q3 2021. Remarkably, DA! achieved these results on top of the chain’s 45.7% YoY revenue growth and 26.8% LFL growth in the comparable Q3 2020. DA! continues to be one of the fastest-growing grocery retailers in the country. The share of DA! in the Group’s revenue reached 20% in Q3 2021. As we communicated earlier, we plan to open 35–40 discounters this year and speed up our expansion starting next year. We expect the discounters’ share in the Group’s revenue to reach up to 50% in the medium term.

“In Q3 2021, the Group’s total online sales more than doubled YoY to account for 3.2% of O`KEY’s revenue.

“We confirm our previously announced guidance for 2021, expecting a low-single-digit LFL growth at O`KEY hypermarkets and a double-digit LFL growth at DA! discounters.”
