  X5 Retail Group CEO Lev Khasis commented:

"X5 delivered solid top-line growth thanks to sector-leading customer traffic for discounters and positive trends at hypermarkets in Moscow and St. Petersburg, as we maintained price leadership and offered quality products for every budget While consumer confidence remains weak, we are actively positioning X5 to benefit from future economic recovery through a balanced execution of like-for-like growth strategy and stepped up expansion.  We plan to accelerate store additions in discounters, maintain healthy expansion in hypermarkets, while with the acquisition of Paterson, we also reinforced our supermarket leadership in key markets, adding to the Company's upside potential."

X5 Retail Group CFO Evgeny Kornilov added:

"X5's financial discipline and efficiency focus is paying off, contributing to a strong set of results. We have substantially improved performance at the SG&A expense level, though the impact of these savings was partially offset this quarter by higher ESOP expense attributable to sharp appreciation of X5's GDR price. Net of ESOP, we reduced SG&A expense as a percent of sales by 270 basis points compared to last year's third quarter and 160 basis points versus the first nine months of 2008. We have also exceeded our plan for growing selling space this year while staying well below plan on capital expenditures. Greater CapEx efficiency gave us room to maneuver for consolidation opportunities, positioning X5 to acquire Paterson on very value enhancing terms while financing this acquisition from operating cash flow." 

Profit & Loss - Key Trends and Developments

Profit & loss figures in this press release are presented on a pro-forma basis, unless otherwise stated. Pro-forma figures include results of the acquired Karusel hypermarket chain from 1 January 2008 and 2009, respectively. We believe pro-forma numbers are useful to reflect large acquisitions because they allow investors to evaluate X5's operating results and financial performance for different periods on a more comparable basis. These figures should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the consolidated financial statements.

Effect on RUR/USD Exchange Rate Movements on Presentation of X5's Results and Their Dynamics 

X5's operational currency is the Russian Ruble (RUR), while our presentation currency is the U.S. Dollar (USD). As RUR/USD rate has substantially changed in the past twelve months, comparisons of the Company's financial results either with the corresponding period a year ago (for profit & loss statement) or with the beginning of the year (for balance sheet statement) have been substantially affected by these movements. For more details please see page 7 of this press-release.

For the third quarter 2009 X5 reported net sales of USD 2,103 mln - a year-on-year decline of 4% in USD terms. In RUR terms net revenue for the quarter increased 24% year-on-year. For the first nine months of 2009, net sales totaled USD 6,081 mln - a year-on-year decline of 7% in USD terms and 26% growth in RUR terms driven by an 11% increase in like-for-like (LFL)* sales with the rest coming from expansion.

In the first nine months of 2009 X5 reported solid like-for-like sales growth despite weaker consumer confidence and persisting trading down trends. Thanks to our "close-to-the-customer" pricing policy X5 was able to gain market share from the competition. Soft discounters were the clear winners, attracting new customers and strengthening competitive positions across regions. Supermarkets' performance was stable in Moscow and St. Petersburg, offset by further weakening consumer confidence in the regions. In the third quarter hypermarkets began to show traffic gains in Moscow and St. Petersburg as Karusel is gradually gaining consumer recognition.  We continue to educate customers about our "wide choice at low price" promise and believe that opening of our first non-food distribution centre (DC) in the third quarter will enable X5 to strengthen our positions in non-food categories.

Third quarter 2009 gross margin totaled 23.9% - a 160 bp decline versus third quarter 2008, translating into the nine months gross margin of 24.4% (130 bp decline year-on-year). This decline is in line with the management's expectations and is attributable to our continuous investment in prices across formats, including new Pyaterochka's pricing policy to offer lowest price in the market on every item launched in March 2009; a managed reduction in Karusel's gross margin; and the change of product mix in favour of staples on the back of continuing trading down trends.

Third quarter 2009 SG&A expenses decreased aa percentage of revenue by 100 bp year-on-year to 19.8%. Nine months 2009 SG&A totaled 19.7% of revenue - a year-on-year decrease of 110 bp. Net of ESOP expense, SG&A accounted for 18.6of sales iQ3 2009 and 19.2% for 9M 2009 (a year-on-year decrease of 270 bp and 160 bp, respectively).  X5 reported USD 26 million of ESOP expense in the third quarter 2009 due to X5 GDR price appreciation of over 50% during this period of time. Nine months 2009 ESOP costs totaled USD 32 million.

SG&A decline as a percentage of revenue was achieved through cost control initiatives and implementation of X5's strategic efficiency programs. Significant savings were obtained from administrative expense and staff cost optimization, renegotiation of leases and energy saving initiatives. As at 30 September 2009 the Company employed 63,711 people compared to 60,467 as at 31 December 2008. The increase is due to new store openings in the first nine months 2009, when X5 opened 116 new stores, including nine hypermarketsdistribution network expansion, as well as hiring of people for extensive new store additions planned for the fourth quarter 2009.

Finance Costs

Nine months 2009 net finance costs decreased 3% year-on-year in USD terms and increased 31% in RUR terms due to higher interest rates on short-term RUR funding compared to the same period last year. The effective interest rate on X5's debt for the first nine months of 2009 was approximately 8.3%.

Foreign Exchange (FX) Gain/(Loss)

The Company posted USD 38 mln of foreign exchange (FX) loss in the first nine months of 2009, which is a result of USD 164 mln FX loss in the first quarter on the back of sharp RUR devaluation and combined USD 126 mln FX gain in the second and third quarters due to partial RUR recovery. This is a primarily non-cash item, resulting from revaluation of the Company's long-term USD-denominated debt. 

Income Tax

In the third quarter 2009 X5 reported income tax expense in the amount of USD 36 mln, translating into the first nine months 2009 income tax expense of USD 78 mln. Effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2009 totaled 39%.

___________________________________

* Including the results of the acquired Karusel business from 30 June 2008 when the acquisition was completed, i.e. excluding them in Q1&Q2 2008, but including in Q3 2008.

 

First nine months 2009 net cash flow from operating activities totaled USD 191 mln versus USD 260 mln a year ago. Year-on-year decrease is to a large extent explained by a one-off USD 160 mln cash refund received from former owners of Karusel in the third quarter of 2008 (please see our press release dated 26 August 2008).  

In the first nine months of 2009, cash generation from operations before changes in working capital was very strong at USD 572 mln - year-on-year growth of 3% in USD terms and 39% in RUR terms. It was partially offset by changes in working capital attributable to the following factors: 

Increase in inventories due to stocking up for extensive store openings, particularly hypermarkets, as well as new distribution centres (DCs)

Increase in trade accounts payable in the third quarter 2009attributable to an increase in non-food product sales and typical for this quarter seasonalityonly partially compensated for a decrease in trade accounts payable in the first half 2009;

Increase in trade and other accounts receivable that was in line with the business growth.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months 2009 totaled USD 149 mln compared to USD 874 mln of organic CapEx spent in the nine months of last year (net of Karusel acquisition). Such CapEx saving was attributable to focus on renting versus owning (over 70% of selling space added and new stores opened in the first nine months 2009 were leased) as well as efficiencies achieved thanks to a more prudent approach and decrease in construction and repair costs. In the first nine months 2009 X5 expanded its selling space by 89 thousand sq.m. (net addition of 116 stores including nine hypermarkets) compared to 76 thousand sq.m. added organically in the first nine months 2008 (135 stores including three hypermarkets).

Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months 2009 amounted to USD 48 mln.

 X5's short-term debt increased in the third quarter 2009 to USD 637 mln due to the fact that the Company's RUR 9 bln bonds issued in July 2007 were reclassified from long-term to short-term obligations because of the put option exercisable in July 2010, as the Company applies a conservative approach. Remaining short-term debt is RUR-denominated and represents primarily revolving credit lines.

As at 30 September 2009, the Company had access to RUR-denominated credit facilities of approximately RUR 24.9 bln (approximately USD 826 mln), out of which RUR 15.3 bln (approximately USD 508 mln) are available undrawn credit lines with major Russian and international banks. This puts X5 in a very flexible and comfortable position with respect to short-term liquidity.

Effect on RUR/USD Exchange Rate Movements on Presentation of X5's Results and Their Dynamics 

X5's operational currency is the Russian Ruble (RUR), while our presentation currency is the U.S. Dollar (USD). As RUR/USD rate has substantially changed in the past twelve months, comparisons of the Company's financial results either with the corresponding period a year ago (for profit & loss statement) or with the beginning of the year (for balance sheet statement) have been substantially affected by these movements:

Comparisons of profit & loss figures with respective periods last year reflect a negative translational effect from RUR/USD rate movements, resulting in a difference between year-on-year change in RUR and the respective change in USD of approximately 28% for Q3 and 33% for 9M 2009. For reference, to translate its profit & loss figures from RUR to USD for reporting purposes, the Company applied RUR/USD rate of 24.04 for 9M 2008 (average for the period) and RUR/USD rate of 32.48 for 9M 2009 (average for the period). Reported USD-denominated profit & loss figures for Q3 2009 and 2008 represent difference between reported 9M and H1 figures for respective years. 

Comparisons of balance sheet figures as at 30 September 2009 to balance sheet figures as at 31 December 2008 reflect a negative translational effect from RUR/USD rate movement, resulting in a difference between change in RUR and the respective change in USD of approximately 2%. For reference, to translate its balance sheet figures from RUR to USD for reporting purposes, the Company applied RUR/USD rate of 29.38 as at 31 December 2008 and RUR/USD rate of 30.09 as at 30 September 2009.

Note to Editors:

X5 Retail Group N.V. is Russia's largest retailer in terms of sales. The Company was created as a result of a merger between Pyaterochka (soft discounter chain) and Perekrestok (supermarket chain) on 18 May 2006. In June 2008, X5 acquired Karusel hypermarket chain and substantially strengthened its position in hypermarket format.
