   Press release

   28 October 2022
    

                  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.

       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

   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.

   In 9M 2022,  as part  of an  ongoing real  estate portfolio  revision  and
   optimisation,  the  Group  closed  three  O`KEY  stores  and  opened  four
   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.

    

   In 9M 2022, the Group also  opened 20 discounters (net of closures)  under
   the DA! brand.

    

   As of  30 September 2022,  the Group  operated 79 O`KEY  hypermarkets  and
