Russian retailer Magnit said it is “gaining confidence in the market” after booking an increase in full-year profits.

Sales in the period climbed by 42% to RUB335.70bn, driven by an increase in selling space and 11.1% like-for-like sales growth.
During the period, Magnit added 1,254 stores (1,004 convenience stores, 42 hypermarkets and 208 cosmetics stores) and increased its selling space by 38.51%.
“As to the published results, I would like to stress that they are better than 2010 results both in sales growth and EBITDA margin, which inspires us with optimism,” said Magnit’s CEO, Sergey Galitskiy. “Of course, on the back of a growing comparable base, the pace of turnover growth percentage-wise will decline, but day-by-day we have greater confidence in the market, which is supported by our results.”
