5. Baltika Grupi strateegia aastatel 2010-2014 tutvustamine                     

Täna toimunud Baltika aktsionäride korralisel üldkoosolekul tutvustas ettevõtte 
juhatus koostöös rahvusvahelise konsultatsioonifirmaga Roland Berger valminud   
Baltika Grupi strateegiat aastateks 2010-2014. Strateegia näeb ette aastani 2014
ettevõtte kasvu keskmiselt 9% aastas, saavutades 2014. aastaks müügi 1,13       
miljardit krooni.                                                               

Käibekasv on planeeritud kogemuste, üldiste eelduste ning brändide kasvu põhjal 
- jätkuvalt annavad suurima müügiosa Monton ja Mosaic, mille müügid kasvavad    
aastaks 2014 vastavalt 171 miljoni ja 109 miljoni krooni võrra.                 

Baltika tänase seisu peamine põhjus on langenud müügid, mis on tingitud inimeste
järsult muutunud ostukäitumisest - pea 66% tarbijatest lõpetas kriisi ajal uute 
rõivaste ostmise. Lisaks ostujõu kasvule ja tarbimise elavnemisele aitab müüke  
kasvatada ka BG brändide tugevam keskendumine oma sihtklientide vajadustele.    
Ärimudeli kasumlikkuse parandamiseks kontrollib ettevõte jätkuvalt nii oma      
turgude kui poodide portfelli ning arendab brände.                              

Aastaks 2014 on eesmärk saavutada brutomarginaal 54,9%. Marginaali kasv tugineb 
stabiilsele sisseostumarginaalile ning madalamale allahindlusmäärale, mis       
omakorda põhineb üldisel majandusolukorra paranemisel ning paremal varudeseisul.
Tegevuskulusid on aastaks 2014 eesmärk vähendada 17,5% võrra ning tegevuskulude 
suhet müükidesse tänaselt 67,5%-lt 43,3%-ni.

5. Presentation of the strategy of Baltika Group for 2010-2014                  

At the shareholders annual meeting of Baltika, held today, the management board 
of the company introduced Baltika Group strategy 2010-2014 created in           
co-operation with international strategy consultancy company Roland Berger.     
According to the strategy, Baltika grows ca 9% per year until 2014, reaching the
sales of 1.13 billion kroons. Topline growth has planned based on experience,   
general assumptions and the growth of BG brands. Main drivers of the sales      
remain to be Monton and Mosaic with the sales growth by the year 2014 of 171    
million kroons for Monton and 109 million kroons for Mosaic.                    
                                                                                
Main reasons for Baltika's situation today are declining sales caused by        
people's radically changed buying behaviour. Almost 66% of consumers stopped    
buying new clothes during the crisis. Sales growth bases on increasing          
purchasing power, quickening consumption and BG brands focusing more on the     
needs of their target customers. With the intention to enhance the efficiency of
the business model, Baltika Group continues monitoring its markets and stores   
portfolio and developing its brands.                                            

Gross margin is going to be improved - the target is 54,9% by 2014. Main drivers
of the growth are the stabile intake margin and lower markdowns needed due to   
the overall improvement of the economy and better stock situation. By the year  
2014, OPEX will decline by 17,5% and the OPEX/sales ratio is going down from    
today's 67,5% to 43,3%.
