STOCKMANN plc, Company Announcement 9.1.2013 at 9:00 EET
The Stockmann Group’s preliminary revenue in December increased by 1,9 per cent and was EUR 250.3 million.
The Department Store Division’s revenue increased by 3.0 per cent. Revenue for department stores and Stockmann online store in Finland was up 2.8 per cent. The division’s total revenue in Finland was up 0.7 per cent due to Hobby Hall’s weak sales. Revenue in international operations was up 8.8 per cent. The euro-denominated revenue in Russia increased by 13.1 per cent in the department stores and by 8.2 per cent in total, when including the Bestseller franchising stores which were closed down by the end of 2012.
Fashion Chain Division’s revenue was on par with the previous year; down 8.1 in Finland and up 2.5 per cent in international operations. Lindex’s euro-denominated revenue was up 1.9 per cent. The development was weak in the main markets and as a result, revenue in local currencies was down 3.4 per cent. Outside the Nordic countries strong growth continued. Seppälä’s revenue was down 7.9 per cent. As in the previous months, revenue was down in Finland and Russia and up in the Baltic countries.
Share of international operations exceeds half of the full year’s revenue
