Stockmann Group’s revenue in November 2014

Helsinki, Finland, 2014-12-11 14:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
STOCKMANN plc, Company Announcement 11.12.2014 at 15:30 EET

The Stockmann Group’s revenue was down 13.1 per cent on the previous year and amounted to EUR 137.6 million in November 2014. The decline was partly due to currency effects, mainly the Russian rouble, which weakened 30 per cent on the previous year compared to the euro. Revenue at comparable exchange rates was down 8.9 per cent.

The Department Store Division’s revenue was nearly on a par with the previous year in the Baltic countries and in Russia in rouble. Due to the very weak exchange rate of the rouble, euro-denominated revenue was down in Russia. The division’s total euro-denominated revenue decreased by 14.7 per cent; down 13.7 per cent in Finland and 17.2 per cent in international operations.

Lindex’s revenue was down 4.9 per cent at comparable exchange rates or 9.2 per cent in euro-denominated revenue. Seppälä’s revenue was down 19.5 per cent or down 8.9 per cent in comparable stores, excluding the closed 30 stores during the past 12 months. The Fashion Chain Division’s total revenue decreased by 10.4 per cent; down 8.2 per cent in Finland and 10.9 per cent in international operations.
