The group saw finance costs grow year-on-year by 146% to RUR1.1bn in the first-half, due to the funds raised to finance the acquisition of Victoria Group in June last year.
Operating profit, however, edged up 2.2% to RUB2.2m as net sales soared 80.9% to RUB70.8m.
In the first half of the year, Dixy opened 184 stores and increased its selling space by 22% year-on-year. As of 30 June, the company operated 1,276 stores.
