SG&A costs decreased by 49 bps y-o-y to 19.7% as a percent of sales.
Cash SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales decreased by 35 bps to 17.0% on lower personnel expenses and
positive operating leverage effect. This was partially offset by higher other costs.
Personnel costs as a percentage of sales decreased by 34 bps y-o-y to 8.6% on the back of continued
in-store productivity improvements and ongoing automation of business processes.
Other costs as a percentage of sales increased by 16 bps y-o-y to 0.6% predominantly driven by faster
y-o-y growth of online services.
Advertising expenses decreased by 9 bps y-o-y to 0.4% as a percentage of sales on lower marketing
activities.
Rental costs as a percentage of sales remained flat y-o-y driven by higher sales density, improved lease
terms with landlords and closing of inefficient stores. This was achieved despite the increased share of
leased selling space to 80.8% as of June 30, 2022 vs 78.7% a year ago and consolidation of Dixy stores
predominantly located in Moscow and St Petersburg regions with higher rent rates.
Utilities, packaging, raw materials, repair, maintenance, bank and tax expenses as a percentage of sales
remained broadly flat y-o-y.
Other income and expenses decreased by 39 bps to 0.6% as a percentage of sales due to a lower percentage
of sales of secondary materials and on provisions for write-off of intangible assets related to software
not in use.
As a result, EBITDA increased by 38.3% to RUB 80.1 billion with a 7.0% margin which remained flat on a
y-o-y basis. This was driven by gross margin dynamics and strict cost control offset by other income and
expenses dynamics.
7.0%
ebitda margin
in 1H 2022 Depreciation as a percentage of sales reduced by 14 bps y-o-y to 2.7% due to consolidation of Dixy
business with lower share of depreciation as a percentage of sales, a slowdown in the store opening and
refurbishment programmes, as well as positive operating leverage effect.
As a result, operating profit in 1H 2022 stood at RUB 49.6 billion with 4.4% EBIT margin.
Net finance costs in 1H 2022 increased by 22.7% and stood at RUB 6.6 billion due to the higher cost of
debt and total amount of borrowings. The Company increased its total debt by RUB 27.4 billion during the
last twelve months by obtaining bank loans. These supported the Company's accelerated expansion and the
acquisition of Dixy last year. Interest expenses were partially offset by income from bank deposits.
As a result, average cost of debt as of the end of 2Q 2022 increased by 146 bps y-o-y to 7.9% but visibly
reduced vs previous quarter (down 89 bps from 8.8%). 77% of the Company's debt profile is represented by
long-term borrowings and bonds with an average maturity of 14 months.
In 1H 2022 the Company reported FX loss in the amount of RUB 2.1 billion related to direct import
operations.
Income tax in 1H 2022 was RUB 8.8 billion with effective tax rate of 21.6%.
As a result, net income in 1H 2022 increased by 39.6% y-o-y and stood at RUB 32.0 billion. Net income
margin remained flat y-o-y at 2.8%.
