The Company's performance in Q1 2019 was mostly influenced by the sale of its supermarket business, which was initiated in December 2017. Initiatives launched at the end of 2018, aimed at improving logistics operations and the overall quality of fresh and ultra-fresh goods, led to a gradual traffic recovery in February, March and April, which, along with higher shelf inflation supported the revenue dynamics during the first quarter of 2019. As a result, underlying O'KEY revenue decreased in Q1 2019 by 2.2% YoY.

The macroeconomic environment remained mixed in Q1 2019. The consumer price index (CPI) for food jumped to 5.8% during the reported quarter, largely driven by a tighter supply-demand balance on the sugar market, rapid growth in meat and poultry prices, and higher prices for grains - all of which led to a significant increase in shelf inflation to 5.7%. At the same time, consumer sentiment remained weak in Q1 2019 as real disposable income decreased by 2.3% YoY, leading to a marginal decline in items purchased per customer. According to the Central Bank of Russia, customers remained highly price-sensitive during the reported quarter. The percentage of customers buying cheaper staples rose on average to 35% in Q1 2019 from 27% a year ago, while the percentage of customers buying less frequently or giving up buying some products averaged 25% in Q1 2019 from 21% a year ago. These developments in the macroeconomic environment were the predominant factors defining the Companies performance in Q1 2019, leading to a LFL basket growth of 2.5% YoY.

During the quarter, the Company continued to work on enhancing its customer value proposition by revising its product mix and further developing the middle and premium ranges. In efforts to broaden the imported goods category, the wine and spirits section at the Litvinovo distribution centre was expanded.

In Q1 2019, the Company demonstrated a strong LFL net retail revenue growth of 21.4% YoY, driven by a combination of customers' growing appreciation of the discounter business model and continuing growth of inflation. Further food CPI increasing during the reporting quarter resulted in a LFL shelf inflation growth of 9.5% YoY. The solid shelf inflation increase is largely attributable to the assortment mix structure at discounters (46% private labels) and sales structure (characterised by a higher share of essential goods such as bread, sugar, and eggs, etc.), and was partially offset by a LFL decline in items per customer by 2.1% YoY - a natural result of inflation. At the same time, prices for essential goods at the Group's discounters remained among the most competitive in the industry, which was reflected in a strong LFL traffic growth of 9.5% YoY.

In Q1 2019, the Company continued to improve its customer value proposition by improving the assortment mix and fine-tuning in-store interiors to make the customer journey more enjoyable. Paying high attention to the quality and appeal of our private label (PL) products, we rebrand and enhance the recipes of our existing PL brands on an ongoing basis. During the last quarter, the Company expanded the SKU range of its private label brand, 'Farm Collection'. As customer demand for private label products strengthened during Q1 2019, we performed remerchandising of our PL products across the discounter chain to provide our customers an even more seamless shopping experience. In order to make the in-store interior more comfortable and ready for the summer season, additional drinks chillers were installed in Q1 2019.
