Commenting on the update, Chief Executive Officer, Aslan Saranga
said:
"The first four months of 2021 have been very encouraging.
Trading performance has continued to significantly improve in
Turkey and Russia since our preliminary results release in March.
Our Turkish operations have maintained their strong start to the
year with a March/April like-for-like growth rate of 76.8%, driven
mainly by delivery and, also, tailwinds from a temporary reduction
in the VAT rate to 1% from 8%. Heightened operational constraints
experienced in Turkey have not impacted negatively on business
performance and we continue to benefit from a Covid inspired shift
to home delivery that has affected all sectors, as previously
indicated. Also, encouragingly, in our Russian operations we have
continued to see an improving trend with a March/April
like-for-like growth rate of 21.2% and we have surpassed the sales
per store levels of pre-Covid 2020 in the first four months of
2021. However, it is important to note that these rates follow
significantly depressed 2020 comparables due to the initial
Covid-19 outbreak in both countries.
"Our online channels continue to be the main driver behind our
like-for-like growth rates. Online system sales as a percent of
delivery system sales have reached 73.4% and 92.3% in Turkey and
Russia, respectively, with both figures registering approximately a
four percentage point increase over the last twelve months.
"We continue to add new product offerings to drive order flow
and repeat customers. In Turkey, we launched a calzone-like
product, Tostilla, and the new pasta product, Makarnos, in April
and May, respectively. In Russia, we launched the Cheese Crust
pizza in March.
"The strong performance in Turkey is continuing to generate a
very robust franchisee demand. Whilst we have opened two new stores
in Turkey during the first four months, we remain on target for our
store opening guidance of 30 - 40 stores for the year with a
further 16 stores leased, all of which are franchised. We have also
added two new stores in Russia. Our first half performance will be
the determining factor in the outlook for store openings in Russia
for the full year.
"Whilst the Board is conscious of the potential continued risks
posed by the pandemic, we remain on target for our 2021 guidance in
our markets and the Board expects the full year adjusted EBITDA(6)
for 2021 to be in line with expectations."

Liquidity
The Group continues to have a strong liquidity position, having
access to cash at hand and additional borrowing capacity available
from its Turkish banks. As at 30 April 2021, the Group had TRY 80
million of cash at hand and additional available bank lines of TRY
164 million.
The Group's strong liquidity position enables it to prepay its
bank borrowings in Russia if required, and still maintain a strong
liquidity position. The Group obtained a waiver from Sberbank with
respect to its covenants for the first two quarters of 2021 and is
in negotiations to reset the covenants or repay the remaining loan.
The principal outstanding under the Sberbank loan currently amounts
to RUB 0.9 billion, of which RUB 0.2 billion is supported by a cash
collateral deposit.
Notes
(1) System sales are sales generated by the Group's corporate
and franchised stores to external customers and do not represent
revenue of the Group.
(2) Like-for-like growth is a comparison of sales between two
periods that compares system sales of existing system stores. The
Group's system stores that are included in like-for-like system
sales comparisons are those the Group considers to be mature
operations. The Group considers mature stores to be those stores
that have operated for at least 52 weeks preceding the beginning of
the first month of the period used in the like-for-like comparisons
for a certain reporting period, assuming the relevant system store
has not subsequently closed or been "split" (which involves the
Group opening an additional store within the same map of an
existing store or in an overlapping area).
(3) Delivery system sales are system sales of the Group
generated through the Group's delivery distribution channel.
(4) Online system sales are system sales of the Group generated
through its online ordering channel.
(5) Group like-for-like growth is a weighted average of the
country like-for-like growths based on store numbers as described
in Note (2).
(6) EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and non-recurring and non-trade
income/expenses are not defined by IFRS. These items are determined
by the principles defined by the Group management and comprise
income/expenses which are assumed by the Group management to not be
part of the normal course of business and are non-trading items.
These items which are not defined by IFRS are disclosed by the
Group management separately for a better understanding and
measurement of the sustainable performance of the Group.
