Spanish retailer Eroski has booked an 8% rise in annual profits despite its promotional strategy hitting revenues.
The company today (18 May) posted EBITDA of EUR434m (US$538.4m), an increase of 8% on the year. Turnover fell 6% to EUR8.42bn as Eroski’s price cuts amid weak consumer confidence weighed on sales.

Eroski has just over 2,360 food and non-food stores in Spain, including 113 hypermarkets and 1,063 supermarkets.
