Business environment and results


The Group`s sales amounted to 14 542 thousand EUR during Q1 of 2017,
representing a 8.9% increase as compared to the same period of previous year.
The Group’s gross profit during Q1 of 2017 amounted to 6 783 thousand EUR and
decreased by 11.7% compared to Q1 of 2016. Gross margin during Q1 of 2017
decreased to 46.6% from 57.5% in the respective to Q1 of 2016. 

Consolidated operating profit Q1 of 2017 decreased by 45.0% to 2 407 thousand
EUR, compared to 4 376 thousand EUR in Q1 of 2016. Consolidated EBITDA for Q1
of 2017 decreased by 39.6% and was 2 909 thousand EUR, compared to 4 818
thousand EUR in Q1 of 2016. 

Reported consolidated net profit for Q1of 2017 amounted to 109 thousand EUR,
decreasing by 94.8% compared to prior result of 2 114 thousand EUR. Net profit
attributable to equity holders of the Parent company for Q1 of 2017 decreased
by 97.7% and amounted to 50 thousand EUR. 

Group`s results for 3 months of 2017 were defined by continued challenges in
economies of its major sales markets – Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. Group
achieved growth in sales compared to 3 months of 2016, but gross margin and
gross profit decreased compared to same period last year. The purchasing power
in region`s countries remains low, therefore it is hard to see some kind of
relatively fast recovery in growth rates of economies under discussion. 

The recovery in economic activity, which started in Russia in the second
quarter of 2016, appears to be fragile. Russian economy is adapting to new
reality, but purchasing power of population in real terms is still low.
Following a buoyant performance in January, consumer demand weakened in
February. Retail trade contracted by 0.4% in real terms month to month,
seasonally adjusted. Retail trade yearly decrease was 2.6% in February.
Inflation slowed further in March, partly aided by the ruble’s appreciation.
Supported by a stronger ruble, the monthly inflation totalled 0.1% in March
2017 compared to 0.5% in the same period last year. The 12-month Consumer Price
Index (CPI) decreased in March to 4.3%. Unemployment declined to 5.2% in
February. Real wages continued to grow, rising in February by 1.3% compared to
the same period of previous year; however, the growth decelerated. Real
disposable incomes contracted in February by 4.1% compared to the same period
in 2016, and they decreased in monthly terms after seasonal adjustment. 

Group`s sales on Russian market totalled 8 076 thousand EUR, increase is 5.2%
compared to 3 months of 2016. In local currency sales decreased by 20.2% during
3 months. Group`s Russian subsidiary opened 3 stores in Q1 of 2017, total 30
own stores is now opened. The Group will continue opening own stores as this
gives growing sales opportunity and better control of the market. 

Belarusian economy at the moment isn`t demonstrating signs of stabilisation
yet. The economy is projected to emerge from the recession over the course of
this year as loans from international institutions will support activity.
However, the overall economic situation will remain bleak as Russia—Belarus’
main trading partner—will not make a strong recovery in 2017. Against this
backdrop analysts forecast that GDP will increase by just 0.2-0.4% in 2017.
Consumer prices rose 0.3% in March from the previous month, down from
February’s 0.5% increase and the lowest reading in three months. According to
the Belstat, March’s increase came on the back of higher prices for services
and non-food goods. Inflation cooled in March, dropping to 6.4% from 7.0% in
February. This marked the lowest reading since July 2010. Annual average
inflation was 10.6% in March, below February’s 11.2% and also a multi-year low.
Analysts see inflation averaging 10.3% in 2017. 

Group`s sales in Belarus in 3 months of 2017 were 4 201 thousand EUR and
increasing 3.2% compared to 3 months of 2016. Sales in local currency decreased
by 8.1% at the same period. In Belarus the Group will focus on improving
profitability of its retail business, we will also continue to expand our store
chain there depending on availability of reasonably priced sales areas. 

Recent developments in Ukraine are starting to derail the economy’s fragile
recovery. The government formalized an economic blockade of the rebel-held
eastern regions in March, escalating a tense political situation, a large a
number of Ukrainian companies located in this territory. On a bright note, the
government received USD 1.0 billion in fresh funds from the IMF in April.
However, a number of reforms need to be implemented to secure additional aid
going forward. The economic blockade has soured the country’s economic outlook.
Analysts see GDP rising by 2.4% this year. In March, consumer prices rose 1.8%
from the previous month, which followed February’s 1.0% increase. March’s
reading was driven by soaring prices for clothing and footwear as well as
higher prices for housing, electricity, gas and other fuels. Inflation edged up
from February’s 14.2% to 15.1% in March—a 12-month high. However, annual
average inflation continued to ease, falling from 11.1% in February to 10.6% in
