       Total sales in 1Q 2022 grew by 37.7% y-o-y to RUB 547.7 billion. Net retail sales grew by 37.9% y-o-y, 
       driven by a combination of 21.4% selling space growth and 12.0% LFL sales growth. Net retail sales 
       achieved by the stores under the Magnit brand accelerated to 18.8% from 15.6% in 4Q 2021 driven by LFL 
       sales growth in the mature outlets and higher selling space growth. 
 
       Net retail sales growth continued to outpace selling space growth on further improvement of sales 
       densities. Overall sales densities in 1Q 2022 (excluding stores under the Dixy brand) improved by 2.0% 
       q-o-q and 6.2% y-o-y while across the Company's main convenience store format these improved by 1.7% 
       q-o-q and 6.8% y-o-y. 
 
 
 
       Net retail sales growth demonstrated strong monthly performance and exceeded 30% in January and February 
       2022. In March 2022 net retail sales grew sharply to 49.2% driven by accelerated inflation and 
       stockpiling effect when customers were stocking up with dry food and essentials. 
 
 
       Selling space growth increased further from 20.0% in the previous quarter to 21.4% in the reported 
       quarter, driven by accelerated organic expansion and the Dixy acquisition (2,477 Dixy stores added in 3Q 
       2021 but consolidated from July 22nd, 2021). Selling space growth adjusted for the Dixy acquisition 
       accelerated to 10.5% compared to the previous quarter, reflecting 59% increase y-o-y in the number of 
       store openings per quarter (649 in 1Q 2022 compared to 407 in 1Q 2021 on gross basis).

growth y-o-y 
 
       LFL sales growth accelerated further from 9.9% in the previous quarter to 12.0% in 1Q 2022 predominantly 
       driven by strong forward-buying effect in March. 373 stores entered LFL panel in 1Q (including 212 
       convenience stores and 161 drogeries). Only 7% of Magnit's selling space is currently in the 'ramp-up' 
       phase with 93% already mature. 
 
       All regions showed robust LFL sales growth with North-West and Siberian regions delivering the strongest 
       results. 
 
 
 
       LFL sales growth in the reported quarter was driven by strong LFL average ticket growth of 11.1% due to 
       higher number of SKUs in the average customer basket and acceleration of inflation. LFL traffic turned 
       positive and stood at 0.8% driven by continued inflow of unique customers gained from other players, and 
       frequency of visits. Starting from March when customers were stocking up on dry food and essentials, 
       traffic growth accelerated mainly on the back of increased visit frequency. 
 
 
 
       Revenue and LFL sales growth accelerated versus previous quarter despite gradual decline of promo 
       activity starting from the second half of March. 
 
       Cosmetics and detergents were the fastest growing categories in the reported quarter as customers were 
       stocking up with essential non-food items. 
 
61 mln    During the quarter the number of loyalty programme cardholders reached 61.1 million. Company-wide, the 
       proportion of tickets using the loyalty card was 55% with sales penetration of 68%. During peak days of 
of loyalty  the quarter it reached 58% and 72% correspondingly. The loyalty programme continues to deliver positive 
program    cross-format gains - 44% of Magnit's customer base at the end of the reporting period (compared to 43% in 
cardholders  the previous quarter) visit 2+ store formats. Average ticket of the active user is 1.8x higher vs 
       transaction without loyalty card. 
          Store Network Development and Performance by Format 
 
          The convenience segment within the Magnit brand generated 67.0% of total net retail sales in 1Q 
          2022. In the quarter Magnit more than doubled its expansion programme y-o-y and opened (gross) 459 
12.0%       convenience stores (241 in 1Q 2021). The Company continued its efficiency campaign and closed 29 
          convenience stores compared to 54 stores a year ago. Magnit added 430 convenience stores (net) 
LFL sales growth  during the quarter. The selling space growth of convenience stores picked up to 12.1% y-o-y, driving 
in Magnit     a 19.4% acceleration in sales in the format driven by LFL sales growth of 12.0% and selling space 
convenience in 1Q growth of 12.1%. LFL sales growth was driven by LFL average ticket growth of 10.8% while LFL traffic 
2022        growth was 1.0%. 
 
          Magnit supermarkets generated 10.1% of the Group's net retail sales in the reported quarter. During 
4.9%        1Q 2022 the Company did not open new supermarkets and closed two stores, focusing on improvement of 
          sales density of the existing network. Selling space across this format remained almost flat y-o-y. 
y-o-y improvement LFL sales growth of the large format stores accelerated from 3.1% in the previous quarter to 6.6% in 
of sales density  1Q 2022. This was driven by 11.0% average ticket growth and 4.0% traffic decline. Traffic reduction 
of supermarkets in slowed down compared to the previous quarter but was still impacted by the ramp-up phase of the 
1Q 2022      reopened stores after redesign campaign which accelerated last year (16% of large format store 
          portfolio has been redesigned in 2021). As a result, net retail sales growth of supermarkets 
          improved to 7.3% in the quarter. 
 
          The sales contribution of Magnit's drogerie format represented 8.6% of total net retail sales.

          by 185 thousand sq. m. Driven by this increase in selling space and LFL sales growth of 19.7%, sales 
y-o-y selling   grew 31.2% - the strongest performance across all Magnit's store formats. LFL traffic growth turned 
space increase in positive and stood at 2.8%. LFL average ticket growth accelerated to 16.4% driven by higher number 
drogerie in 1Q   of items per basket when customers were stocking up with non-food essentials. On-shelf inflation in 
2022        the drogerie format was in line with food formats. 
 
          During 1Q 2022 Magnit continued its renovation programme and redesigned 157 Magnit and 5 Dixy 
          convenience stores as well as one drogerie. This resulted in the combined share of refurbished and 
          new stores across Magnit brand at: 79% for convenience stores, 45% for supermarkets and 63% for the 
          drogerie format. 
 
 
 
          The share of Dixy stores in the Group's total net retail sales reached 13.9% in the first quarter 
          including 13.2% of Dixy convenience stores. In the reported period eight convenience stores were 
          opened, while some stores were transformed into Magnit branded outlets, resulting in 2,371 stores 
          and 830 thousand sq. m. of selling space as at March 31, 2022. On pro-forma basis, Dixy stores 
          demonstrated strong LFL sales dynamics, in line with Magnit business, driven by mature stores,

23.1% 
Gross margin 
in 1Q 2022  Total revenue in 1Q 2022 increased by 37.7%. This growth was underpinned by net retail sales growth of 
       37.9% and wholesale revenue growth of 29.0%. Wholesale operations accounted for 2.4% of total sales. 
 
 
 
       Gross Profit in 1Q 2022 increased by 37.7% y-o-y to RUB 126.8 billion. Gross margin remained flat y-o-y 
       at 23.1% as a result of favourable product and format mix offset by higher shrinkage. Promotional 
       intensity was flat y-o-y with some deceleration starting from the second half of March. 
 
 
 
       Shrinkage as a proportion of sales increased by 24 bps y-o-y predominantly driven by consolidation of 
       Dixy business with higher shrinkage and losses of fruits & vegetables in transit due to supply-chain 
       disruption in March. 
 
 
 
       SG&A costs decreased by 9 bps y-o-y to 20.1% as a percent of sales due to lower personnel expenses and 
       positive operating leverage effect. This was partially offset by accelerated expansion and redesign with 
       a higher share of stores in the ramp-up phase and growth in other costs (faster y-o-y growth of online 
       services and bank expenses). 
 
       Personnel costs as a percentage of sales decreased by 24 bps on the back of continued productivity 
       improvements and ongoing automation of business processes. 
 
 
 
       Bank expenses as a percentage of sales increased by 7 bps y-o-y due to growing share of non-cash 
       payments. 
 
       Advertising expenses decreased by 5 bps y-o-y on lower marketing activities. 
 
       Rental costs as a percentage of sales increased by 4 bps y-o-y driven by consolidation of Dixy stores 
       predominantly located in the Moscow and Saint-Petersburg regions with higher rent rates, acceleration in 
       store openings and, subsequently, larger number of stores in the ramp-up period as well as higher share 
       of leased selling space. The share of leased selling space increased to 80.7% in 1Q 2022 vs 78.3% a year 
       ago. Despite the above-mentioned factors, rent expense of Magnit's standalone business decreased as a 
       percentage of sales thanks to higher sales density, improved lease terms with landlords and the closure 
       of inefficient stores. 
 
       Repair and maintenance, packaging and raw materials, utilities, depreciation and tax expenses as a 
       percentage of sales remained broadly flat y-o-y. 
 
 
 
       As a result, EBITDA was RUB 37.7 billion with a 6.9% margin. A decrease of 8 bps y-o-y was driven by 
       consolidation of Dixy business with lower profitability. 
 
       Net finance costs in 1Q 2022 increased by 43.4% y-o-y to RUB 3.7 billion (but were slightly lower in 
       absolute terms q-o-q) due to the higher cost of debt and total amount of borrowings. The Company 
       increased its total debt by RUB 152.5 billion during the last twelve months, by obtaining bank loans and 
       bond issuance. These supported the Company's accelerated expansion and the acquisition of Dixy last year. 
 
 
 
       As a result, average cost of debt increased y-o-y to 8.8% (284 bps y-o-y and 233 bps q-o-q). 79% of the 
6.9%     Company's debt profile is represented by long-term borrowings and bonds with an average maturity of 15 
       months. 
ebitda margin 
in 1Q 2022 
       In 1Q 2022 the Company reported FX loss of RUB 5.0 billion related to direct import operations because of 
       FX fluctuations. 
 
 
 
       Income tax in 1Q 2022 was RUB 3.0 billion. The effective tax rate stood at 21.6%. 
 
 
 
       As a result, net income in 1Q 2022 remained flat y-o-y and stood at RUB 10.9 billion. Net income margin 
       decreased by74 bps y-o-y to 2.0%.

        of the Magnit's standalone business reduced substantially. This was driven by a number of ongoing 
12.6      projects, including the reduction of slow-moving items, assortment harmonization and IT solutions that 
        are aimed at better on-shelf availability and promotion forecasting.

Zeitenwende! 3 Uranaktien vor der Neubewertung
Ende Mai leitete US-Präsident Donald Trump mit der Unterzeichnung mehrerer Dekrete eine weitreichende Wende in der amerikanischen Energiepolitik ein. Im Fokus: der beschleunigte Ausbau der Kernenergie.

Mit einem umfassenden Maßnahmenpaket sollen Genehmigungsprozesse reformiert, kleinere Reaktoren gefördert und der Anteil von Atomstrom in den USA massiv gesteigert werden. Auslöser ist der explodierende Energiebedarf durch KI-Rechenzentren, der eine stabile, CO₂-arme Grundlastversorgung zwingend notwendig macht.

In unserem kostenlosen Spezialreport erfahren Sie, welche 3 Unternehmen jetzt im Zentrum dieser energiepolitischen Neuausrichtung stehen, und wer vom kommenden Boom der Nuklearindustrie besonders profitieren könnte.
