Madrid, 19 September 2017.- The Telepizza Group, the leading non-US based pizza delivery company by number of stores, has announced its half-year 2017 results, confirming the growth trend and effective implementation of the company's strategic plan. Sales growth is nearly double digit, reaching 9.6% overall. Net profit for this period stands at €15.4M.

International set a new record for half-year growth, increasing by 14.4% in constant currency. Specifically, Telepizza continued to develop its international strategy successfully, expanding operations to four new countries over this period: the Czech Republic, Paraguay, Iran and the United Kingdom.

Operations in Spain have also been highly satisfactory over the first half year, growing by 6.3%, driven by excellent digital sales, which increased by 22.9%. It is worth highlighting, in particular, the outstanding growth in mobile of 45.6%.

"Assessing this half year, we can see that both our comprehensive digital strategy and our ambitious internationalisation policy are bearing fruit," stated Pablo Juantegui, Executive President and CEO of Telepizza. "We're delighted with these results, which demonstrate that our strategic plan is working well. We hope to close the year along these lines and start 2018 from this position of strength."

51 new stores and the new app

The first half-year of 2017 has also seen many new openings. Over this period, the group has opened 51 stores, 19 of which created a Telepizza brand presence in four new countries: the Czech Republic, Paraguay, Iran and the United Kingdom.

As regards customers, novelty in this half-year is a new app delivering a more attractive and intuitive design, better user experience and improved order tracking.

In terms of innovation, two gourmet Telepizzas have been launched in the first half: Carnívora and Carbonara, as well as the first sweet Telepizza, called Sweet, in collaboration with Nestlé.

These new products boost market differentiation, as Telepizza is always keen to offer attractive innovations to consumers, who have responded enthusiastically to these new products. This is borne out by the fact that innovative products account for 14% of total sales in Spain.
