Retail sales were up 7.2% at CHF22.87bn. The purchase of German retailer and manufacturer Tegut in autumn 2012 boosted the performance of Migros’s retail arm. However, the company said its retail sales without the Tegut deal would have been up 1.6%, which it described as “very pleasing”.
Sales at Migros’s co-operative stores were up 9.1% at CHF15.84bn, including the impact of the Tegut deal.
At Denner, Migros’s domestic discount chain, sales increased 1.5% to CHF2.88bn.
Revenue from the company’s Migros Industrie manufacturing arm was up 6.3% at CHF5.76bn, helped by the acquisitions of Swiss wholesale chain CCA Angehrn and local dairy firm Bergsenn. Organic growth at Migros Industrie was up 3.4%.
