O`KEY GROUP NET RETAIL REVENUE RISES BY 10%,
DA! DISCOUNTERS DELIVER 54.8% REVENUE GROWTH IN Q3 2022
O`KEY Group S.A. (LSE, MOEX: OKEY, the “Group” or the “Company”), one of
Russia’s leading food retailers, has announced its unaudited operating
results for the third quarter (Q3) and the first nine months (9M) of 2022.
All materials published by the Group are available on its website
1 www.okeygroup.lu.
Q3 2022 operating highlights
• Group net retail revenue 1 rose by 10.0% YoY to RUB 47.8 bn, driven
mainly by discounters’ LFL performance and O`KEY’s online sales growth
and supported by discounter stores openings.
• O`KEY hypermarkets’ net retail revenue declined by 1.2% to RUB 34.4 bn
in Q3 2022, mainly due to a year-on-year drop in customer footfall in
shopping malls resulting from continued changes in the retail brands
portfolio. Nevertheless, the decline in LFL traffic was almost offset
by additional revenue from four new O`KEY stores opened in April 2022.
• DA! discounters again showed one of the fastest paces of growth, with
their net retail revenue adding 54.8% YoY to reach RUB 13.4 bn. The
increase was led by a 26.1% LFL net retail revenue growth and the
chain’s expansion.
1 Hereinafter, net retail revenue, LFL net retail revenue, and the
average ticket metrics are provided net of VAT.
9M 2022 operating highlights
• Group net retail revenue increased by 10.3% YoY to RUB 144.6 bn.
• O`KEY hypermarkets’ net retail revenue declined by 1.1% YoY to RUB
105.7 bn.
• O’KEY total online sales rose by 44.3% YoY to RUB 4.3 bn and accounted
for 4.1% of O`KEY's net retail revenue.
• DA! discounters’ net retail revenue grew by 60.2% YoY to RUB 38.9 bn,
driven by a 32.0% LFL net retail revenue growth and the chain’s
expansion.
• The Group opened 20 DA! discounters (net of closures) in 9M 2022.
• DA! discounters’ share in the Group’s net retail revenue increased by
8.4 pps YoY to 26.9%.
• The Group expects to be receiving half of its revenue from discounters
in the medium term.
• In 2022, the Group plans to open up to 45 new DA! discounters and have
nine O`KEY hypermarkets in its portfolio in an updated concept.

Note: Q3 2022 LFL metrics are calculated based on 74 O`KEY and 126 DA!
stores.
The Group’s net retail revenue rose by 10.0% YoY to RUB 47,797 mln, led by
discounters and online revenue growth and supported by expansion of both
store chains.
Net retail revenue of O`KEY hypermarkets declined by 1.2% YoY to
RUB 34,369 mln in Q3 2022, due to a 3.3% decrease in O`KEY’s LFL net
retail revenue resulting from a temporary footfall decrease in shopping
malls amid changes in the tenant mix.
In Q3 2022, shopping malls in the Moscow and St. Petersburg regions
continued to face a YoY decline in customer traffic due to geopolitical
and macroeconomic turbulence. In order to support traffic in these
locations, the landlords keep reshaping their tenant portfolios,
attracting new partners and brands.
In August 2022, O`KEY reopened after renovation its hypermarket in Sochi,
upgraded in line with the latest trends in the retail industry and global
best practices. In the upgraded hypermarket, more space was allocated to
the fresh and ultra-fresh categories, with their share in the overall
product range increased to 20%, while the store’s total selling space was
optimised.
O`KEY’s total online sales, including via our own and external delivery
services, rose by 26.2% YoY to RUB 1,286 mln in Q3 2022. The share of
total online sales in O`KEY’s net retail revenue grew by 0.8 pps YoY to
3.7% in Q3 2022.
In Q3 2022, DA! discounters’ net retail revenue expanded by 54.8% YoY to
RUB 13,428 mln, led by a 26.1% LFL revenue growth and 18.2% YoY increase
in the chain’s selling space over the quarter. The LFL revenue growth was
driven by both customer traffic and average ticket performance thanks to
rising DA! brand awareness, as well as the chain’s high-quality product
assortment, with a special focus on own brands, at the best possible
prices. The share of these products in the discounters’ net retail revenue
amounted to approx. 50% in Q3 2022.
The discounters’ share in the Group’s net retail revenue rose by 8.1 pps
YoY to 28.1% in Q3 2022. The Company expects the DA! discounter chain to
remain a key driver of the Group’s top- and bottom-line growth.

hypermarkets in Central Russia. Also, the selling space of a hypermarket
in Sochi was optimised in the course of its renovation and reduced by
2,093 sq m to 4,607 sq m.
