Food retailer Dixy said Thursday that its consolidated revenues in the first 11 months of 2012 rose 47.4 percent year on year to 130.1 billion rubles ($4.2 billion).
The figure was a slowdown from the 50.2 percent recorded for the first 10 months of the year.
Sales have been helped by its merger with smaller rival Victoria in mid-2011. Revenues were up 21.1 percent on a pro-forma basis, including Victoria results from the beginning of 2011, Dixy said in a statement.
Dixy, Russia's third-biggest homegrown food retailer, said earlier it expects pro-forma sales to grow by 20 to 25 percent in ruble terms this year, as it plans to open about 350 new stores. (Reuters)
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
