In 2012, revenue of X5 Retail Group N.V. increased by 8.3% to RUB 490.088 billion from RUB 452.482 billion for 2011, the company informed.
X5's revenue for Q4 2012 totaled RUB 133.881 billion, increasing by 8.6% year-on-year. The increase was primarily driven by sales growth at soft discounters and to a lesser extent at supermarkets and convenience stores resulting from organic store additions, the positive performance of maturing stores added over the past two years and on-going promotional activities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net retail sales at hypermarkets. In Q4 2012, net ruble revenue attributable to hypermarket operations decreased by 4.2% year-on-year primarily due to the closures of hypermarkets 10,000 sq. m. and 3,000 sq. m. in area in July and December of 2012, respectively, and the aggressive sell-off of some of the format's non-food assortment in Q4 2011.
