“The healthy overall development of the core companies as well as the group as a whole is mainly due to our organic growth and carefully considered acquisitions in Germany and abroad – along with investments totalling around EUR1.4bn,” said CEO Alain Caparros.
“We are very satisfied with developments. Rewe Group’s earnings (EBITA) are expected to exceed the previous year’s record figures of EUR708m.”
