Spanish discount retailer Dia has recorded an increase in first-quarter profits, on the back of higher sales in Spain and an improvement in emerging countries.
Net profit for the three months to the end of March amounted to EUR14.2m (US$18.4m) compared to a net profit of EUR4.1m the same period last year. Dia attributed the increase to a “good business performance” in Spain, coupled with an “improvement” in emerging countries.
