The owner of the Il de Bote chain, Evgeny Drozdov, commented to RBC on the company's financial performance:
All that relates to the statistics of both the past [2023] and previous years is the statistics of the previous shareholder and is completely irrelevant to the strategy and tactics that we are implementing now. In terms of marginality, the absolute value has not changed, but the structure has changed. Previously, a fairly large share of marketing investments from brands was present in the marginality structure. Now the promotion has been shifted to our shoulders, but the commercial conditions have been changed so that we remain interested. We are a high-margin company and belong to the premium high-margin business format. |
