The retailer said it had managed to increase its revenue in a year when Italian grocery sales in supermarkets and hypermarkets fell for the first time. The amount households spent on food was also down, dropping 1.8%.
Conad said promotional pressure continued to increase during the year, with Italy’s economic woes having a pronounced effect on the south of the country.
Citing data from Nielsen, the retailer said its share of the total Italian grocery market stood at 11.3%, level with 2012.
However, Conad said it had “strengthened its leadership” in the supermarket channel, with its share of that market up 0.6 points to 18.2%.
