Igor Shekhterman, X5 Chief Executive Officer
"In 2023, X5 Group continued to demonstrate strong results in line with our
key focus areas for the year. During this period we actively expanded our
proximity store, hard discounter and online formats, began to grow our
footprint in the Russian Far East, and strengthened X5's market presence
through strategic acquisitions on local retail markets. We also completed
the transformation of our Karusel hypermarket chain and closed the last
Karusel-branded store to focus on our main three retail formats that best
respond to changing customer needs.
Our Pyaterochka proximity store network continued its expansion, with 2,144
net new stores added in 2023. Net retail sales for Pyaterochka grew by 17.3%
year-on-year in 2023. In March 2023, Pyaterochka launched its first stores in
the Russian Far East. This made X5 the first nationwide food retailer to
establish a presence in this territory and created more opportunities for
local customers to access high-quality products at low prices. Pyaterochka
further strengthened its presence in this region with the acquisition of
stores operated by the Amba retail chain in Q4 2023. Also in the fall of 2023,
X5 acquired long leases of more than 100 stores of the Grozd retail chain in
Southwestern Russia, which are planned to be integrated into the Pyaterochka
network.
During this period, we continued to revamp our Perekrestok supermarket format
to increase efficiency and boost like-for-like sales. In Q4 2023,
like-for-like sales at Perekrestok stores increased by 14.4% year-on-year and
by 8.8% year-on-year for the full year 2023. X5 plans to continue the
transformation of its supermarket format with efficiency and customer
convenience in mind.
X5's hard discounter format, Chizhik, continued to grow amid widespread
consumer demand for high-quality and reasonably priced foods. In 2023, Chizhik
opened 983 new stores and reached a total count of 1,500 stores throughout the
country. In October 2023 the format opened its first stores in Siberia, with
plans to actively expand its presence in the region. Meanwhile, Chizhik's net
retail sales saw a three-fold increase year-on-year in 2023. Our hard
discounter format has proven popular with customers thanks to its tailored
selection of quality and affordable products, and the development of the
Chizhik chain remains a top priority for X5.
In 2023, we encountered a significant shortage of operating personnel on the
market and, as a result, a significant increase in labour costs. The negative
impact of this factor on profitability was partially offset by projects to
improve efficiency. Our key initiatives in this regard included increasing
automation in stores and logistics, the introduction of day and night
non-contact picking, and the resulting reduction in average headcount per
store. These measures increased labour productivity by almost 10%. We do not
expect a significant improvement in the labour market in 2024 and plan to
continue our initiatives to improve the efficiency of X5's business processes
(automation in stores and logistics, scaling up contactless pickup, increasing
the number of self-service checkouts and more). As a result of these
initiatives, we expect further growth in labour productivity in 2024.
In 2023, we continued to expand into existing and new regions of presence
through strategic M&As. In April, X5 acquired Tamerlan, the operator of
several discounter chains and a supermarket chain in Southern Russia. And in
August, X5 acquired the retail operator Victoria Baltia, which has enabled X5
to gain a foothold in the highly promising Kaliningrad Region. In parallel
with organic growth, X5 will continue to pursue opportunities for business
expansion through M&A as well as strategic partnerships on the domestic
market.
Our online businesses continued to develop, with digital business net sales
increasing by 75.7% year-on-year in 2023. A particular focus during this
period was on expanding delivery services from X5's retail formats in order to
provide our customers with an omnichannel shopping experience. At the same
time, the continuing high level of competition and current pressure on
profitability in this segment has not yet allowed us to effectively translate
revenue growth into an improved financial result. Among other highlights, in
2023 X5's online delivery logistics service, 5Post, entered Siberia and
surpassed the milestone of 20,000 pickup points across Russia. This move has
enabled 5Post to approach 100% coverage of its targeted geographical footprint
while making online deliveries for customers in Siberia easier, faster, and
closer to home.
Another significant achievement during this period was the integration of
nearly all X5 businesses into the updated X5 Club loyalty programme. Now,
customers of most X5 businesses can conveniently accumulate and spend bonus
points in a single unified system: these include express delivery services
from Pyaterochka and Perekrestok, X5's online media platform Food.ru, and the
sushi delivery service Mnogo Lososya.
In September 2023, X5 Group's Supervisory Board approved an updated
Sustainable Development Strategy that sets out the company's sustainability
targets to 2025. Under the strategy, X5 set new aims for energy efficiency and
emissions reduction, among others, and placed a stronger emphasis on social
programmes that include food aid, local community development and promoting
inclusion. X5's sustainability initiatives earned the company high ESG ratings
from the rating agencies ACRA and Expert RA in 2023.
Despite ongoing market headwinds, X5's results in 2023 have once again
demonstrated our commitment to excellent customer service, strategic expansion
and business efficiency. I would like to thank the entire X5 team for their
contributions to the company's strong performance for the year and express my
sincere gratitude to our partners and investors for continuing to place their
trust in X5."

KEY DRIVERS OF Q4 2023 RESULTS
External environment
• Food inflation in Q4 2023 totalled 7.1% year-on-year (vs 3.6%
year-on-year in Q3 2023).
• In physical terms, the food market continued to grow, driven by
rising real incomes and demonstrating a 5.6% year-on-year increase for
October-November 2023.
• Real wage growth remains stable despite accelerating inflation.
Nominal wages continue to grow steadily by an average of 13-17% year-on-year
(according to Rosstat) amid labor shortages.
• The labour market remains strong. Unemployment declined to a
record 2.9% in October-November, on the back of greater involvement of the
population in economic activity. The number of employed individuals amounted
to 74.0 million people.
• The Bank of Russia raised the key rate two times from 13% to 16%
in Q4 2023 in response to accelerating inflation.
Offline business development
• Pyaterochka's offline net sales demonstrated strong growth of
20.3% year-on-year, with LFL sales (including express delivery) increasing by
13.0% in Q4 2023. LFL traffic increased by 3.0% year-on-year, while the LFL
basket increased by 9.6% year-on-year, driven by accelerating inflation.
Pyaterochka's network continued to expand, with 630 new stores added in Q4
2023 (on a gross basis).
• Perekrestok's offline net sales increased by 11.1% year-on-year in
Q4 2023 with LFL sales (including express delivery) growth of 14.4% in Q4
2023, primarily driven by LFL basket growth.
• Chizhik's offline net sales increased threefold year-on-year in Q4
2023. The network opened 429 new stores during the period and had a total of
1,500 stores in 43 regions of Russia as of 31 December 2023.
• The Store Director-Partner programme continues to deliver solid
results. The transformation of the store director's role generates additional
revenue in terms of LFL sales as well as EBITDAR. At the end of December 2023,
the programme covered 27% of Pyaterochka stores and 100% of Perekrestok
supermarkets.
Expansion and retail portfolio improvement
• X5 continues to focus on strengthening its positions in key
regions of operation and expanding its presence and market share organically,
as well as through selected tactical M&A opportunities.
• In Q4 2023, 630 gross new-concept Pyaterochka stores were opened;
in addition, 135 Pyaterochka stores were refurbished in line with the new
concept. The total number of stores operating under the new concept reached

2023; in addition, 4 Perekrestok supermarkets were refurbished in line with

ths. sq. m), Yekaterinburg (56 ths. sq. m) and Samara (71 ths. sq. m) to serve
its Pyaterochka proximity format, and two new distribution centres in
Novosibirsk (10.7 ths. sq. m) and Krasnogorsk (3 ths. sq. m) to support the
regional expansion of its Chizhik hard discounter format. One distribution
centre in Vidnoye (25.9 ths. sq. m) was transferred from the Pyaterochka
proximity format to the Chizhik hard discounter format.
• In October 2023, X5 Group obtained long-term lease rights for more
than 100 Grozd stores in Saratov and the Saratov region. In November 2023,

the consolidated quarterly revenue growth rate of 24.7%. X5 Digital
successfully fulfilled over 352 thousand orders on peak days in December.
• X5 continues the rapid expansion of express delivery services from
Pyaterochka proximity stores and Perekrestok supermarkets. As of 31 December
2023, express delivery was available from 8,515 stores (7,409 Pyaterochka
stores, 923 Perekrestok supermarkets and 183 Chizhik hard discounters) as well

regions a year earlier. X5 aims to continue to develop its express delivery
services, as well as its partnerships with delivery aggregators, to provide
its customers with the convenience of an omnichannel shopping experience.
• In Q4 2023, 5Post's e-commerce delivery service revenue increased
by 96.2% year-on-year, driven by an increasing number of new partners. 5Post's
financial performance significantly improved due to a growing share of the
service's domestic partners and the introduction of advertising services for
partners. 5Post fulfilled 10.7 million orders in Q4 2023, with over 20
thousand pickup points in operation, including over 5 thousand multi-parcel
lockers. 5Post is increasing the volume of deliveries it processes from
existing partners and is accelerating its integration with new partners.

"forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements can be
identified by the fact that they do not only relate to historical or current
events. Forward-looking statements often use words such as "anticipate",
"target", "expect", "estimate", "intend", "expected", "plan", "goal",
"believe", or other words of similar meaning.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty
because they relate to future events and circumstances, a number of which are
beyond X5 Group N.V.'s control. As a result, actual future results may differ
materially from the plans, goals and expectations set out in these
forward-looking statements.
Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of X5 Group N.V. speak
only as of the date of this announcement. Save as required by any applicable
laws or regulations, X5 Group N.V. undertakes no obligation publicly to
release the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements in this
document that may occur due to any change in its expectations or to reflect
events or circumstances after the date of this document.
