The company, Russia’s largest food retailer by sales, today (17 April) booked net profit of US$144m, a rise of 41% on the year.
When X5 published its unaudited figures in February, net profit was $141m, an increase of 38%.
Net sales stayed the same, soaring 53% to $5.3bn, thanks in part to contributions from local retailers acquired last year.
CFO Evgeny Kornilov said: “These results provide a solid foundation for the implementation of our ambitious expansion program throughout 2008 and beyond.”
