Vladimir Chirakhov, CEO of Detsky Mir Group said:
'In terms of business growth and efficiency improvements, 2015 was a key year for the Group. Detskiy Mir adapted to the new economic realities while maintaining its rapid growth rates, enabling it to strengthen its leading position in the children's goods market.
The Group continued to implement its expansion programme, opening 104 new stores, a Company record. The total number of stores increased to 425 in 2015. We continued to expand in Kazakhstan, with the opening of a new store in Astana.
The Group's revenue increased by 33.2% year-on-year. The main driver of revenue came from existing stores, which is reflected in a 12.4% year-on-year rise in like-for-like sales, while the like-for-like increase in the number of purchases made (number of checks) was 3.7% year-on-year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a share of revenue dropped by 2 pp, which we achieved primarily as a result of a number of operational efficiency initiatives. Launching our own DC in Bekasovo (Moscow region) was one of the key efficiency projects. Our own warehouse will enable us to reduce logistics costs, increase centralisation and improve inventory management, which will lead to higher turnover.
Detsky Mir Group paid record dividends in 2015 of RUB 3.0 billion, demonstrating once again our commitment to shareholder value.
Detsky Mir Group is the largest employer in the children's goods segment. In 2015, we created around 1,500 new jobs in dozens of regions around country and our average headcount increased by more than 20% year-on-year to 8,517 employees.
We are absolutely confident that 2016 will bring new opportunities for growth and efficiency improvements. We intend to continue implementing our retail chain development programme, and we intend to open at least 50 new stores in 2016.'
