Zabka full-year results due March 24

Adjusted EBITDA seen at 984 mln zlotys

GDANSK, March 21 (Reuters) - Polish convenience store chain Zabka ZAB.WA is expected to report an 18% increase in fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA at 984 million zlotys ($254.20 million), a Reuters poll showed on Friday.

Zabka is expected to report revenues of 5.95 billion zlotys, an increase from 5.04 billion zlotys a year ago, driven by organic growth and the expansion of its store network.

Analysts from five banks and brokerages on average expect Zabka to report fourth-quarter net profit of 262 million zlotys, up from 209 million zlotys in the same period last year.

   Preliminary figures published by the company on January 17 showed like-for-like (LFL) sales growth for 2024 was 8.3%, driven by higher volumes and basket value throughout the year.

Full-year results are due on March 24.

The group made its debut on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in October 2024 with a 6.45-billion-zloty IPO, and following the trading session on March 21, joined Poland's blue-chip index, the WIG20.

The following table summarises analysts' forecasts for Zabka for the fourth quarter of 2024:
