X5 reiterates its 2011 Outlook as announced on 23 December 2010. The Company plans to open a record 540 new stores in 2011 to deliver gross sales in excess of RUR 500 billion, representing top- line growth of approx. 40%. We expect this increase to be driven by organic RUR net sales growth in the low 20 percent range on a higher base compared to 2010, with the remainder contributed by the Kopeyka acquisition.
Lev Khasis, X5 Retail Group CEO, commented:
"Q4 2010 was a milestone quarter for X5 marked by a 35% increase in RUR net sales. Growth was driven by a recovery in consumer spending, record store openings and the acquisition of Kopeyka to reinforce X5's number one position and complement our organic growth strategy. As a result, we successfully delivered on the Company's FY 2010 Outlook with consolidated net retail sales growth of 24% in ruble terms, or 22% excluding initial Kopeyka sales contribution.
"Soft discounters delivered healthy LFL sales growth of 13% in Q4 2010 against a very strong base last year. Supermarkets improved significantly with 11% LFL growth and a 9% year-on-year increase in basket supported by recovery in consumer spending. Supermarkets performance was boosted by surging LFL sales of acquired
"For the year we opened a record 437 stores organically, exceeding the Company's plan for 2010 while remaining below our CapEx limit. Only 12 stores were closed due to uneconomic performance, underscoring the quality and discipline of X5's expansion program to date.
