Jeronimo Martins posted a 12.5% jump in net income to EUR73m (US$104m) during the first half of the year, boosted by strong sales gains and improved margins, the Portuguese retailer said today (27 July).
Driven by sales at new and acquired stores, net sales increased to EUR3.38bn, up 6.6% – or 21.6% excluding foreign exchange.
Jeronimo Martins enjoyed a “significant increase” in EBITDA margin to 6.5% of sales, driven by scale synergies and cost efficiency and despite the fact that a good proportion of stores are not fully mature.
