Trading Update

 

DP Poland plc provides the following trading update for the year to date.

System Sales have grown substantially year-to-date, but as seen in the July and August sales numbers, announced within the interim results, we have seen softening like-for-like sales growth continue into the fourth quarter. A combination of warm and dry weather continuing into November and sustained advertising spend by competing delivery aggregators, in particular, impacted share of voice and sales performance. In addition to these external factors our investment in top-line sales support in Q4 2017 was not replicated in Q4 2018, as we focused more on balancing sales growth with enhanced store profitability.

Despite the sales pressure, Company EBITDA for 2018 is expected to be broadly in line with expectations, but we approach the year ahead with caution and believe that sales and EBITDA performance for 2019 will continue to be impacted by competition for share of voice.

The Company intends to release a full year trading update on 29 January 2019.
