OKEY GROUP S.A. announces unaudited operating results for Q2 and 1H 2012

O'KEY GROUP S.A. (the "Company" or "O'KEY"), one of the leading Russian food retailers, announces its unaudited operating results for Q2 and H1 2012.

Operating Highlights of the second quarter

·; Net Retail revenue increased by 23.5%

·; LFL traffic grew 1.2%

·; LFL average ticket increased by 2.8%

·; Selling area increased by 25.6% y-o-y in the first half of 2012.

Commenting on the results, O'KEY CEO Patrick Longuet said:

"Our sales demonstrated good growth during a relatively calm period in the consumer market. The Group's net retail revenue increased by 23.5% y-o-y in Q2 2012. The increase was driven by the growth in our selling space. On an LFL basis, store traffic continues to grow and growth in O'KEY's average ticket is in-line with the CPI rate of inflation in Russia."

"Following the high LFL progress recorded during the first quarter, over a low 2011 base, the second quarter saw continued growth in traffic despite returning to a more regular comparable base. In Q2 LFL traffic increased by 1.2% which corresponds to the growth in 2011. LFL average ticket increased in line with food inflation which stayed at around 2% during the quarter. We therefore reported LFL revenue growth of 4.0% in the second quarter."

"We opened 2 new stores in the second quarter which provided for a 25.6% y-o-y increase in the Group's selling space. We will continue to expand our network of stores in the third and fourth quarters of 2012, targeting an increase of 30% in our selling space for the full year of 2012."
