The company, in which UK private equity group CVC owns a 73% stake, booked operating profit of EUR28.9m (US$44.7m), a jump of 29%. Sales grew 3.3% to EUR1bn.


CEO Bert Roetert said: “The earnings of the first quarter are a positive development.”


Majority control of the C1000 owner changed hands last month when CVC struck a deal for Ahold’s stake in the business.


Ahold agreed to take on 58 Schuitema stores, a batch of real estate and receive EUR185m in cash.
