Peter Shaw, Chief Executive of DP Poland said:
"Sustained double digit like-for-like system sales growth
coupled with continuing reductions in food and operational costs
resulted in significant improvements in store EBITDA
performance.
Our top 3 stores averaged GBP24k EBITDA profit each in 2014,
compared to an average loss of -GBP12k each in 2013. This
transformation in store performance is set to continue in 2015 as
we focus on providing our customers with great product, great
service and attractive promotions, supported by continuing
improvements in food costs.
We reached a milestone in Q4 2014 with total store EBITDA
becoming positive for each month during the quarter. This total
includes our newest stores in Krakow as we grow customer numbers
and progress towards EBITDA breakeven.
I am delighted to report that the stores recently acquired by
our first franchisees are performing well, exhibiting strong sales
growth and generating profitable commissary sales of food and
non-food items for DP Polska.
This strong sales performance continued into January 2015 with
like-for-like system sales at +18%."
