X5 Retail Group N.V. ("X5" or the "Company", LSE and MOEX ticker: "FIVE"), a leading Russian food retailer that operates the Pyaterochka, Perekrestok and Chizhik retail chains, today announces its preliminary consolidated net retail sales and operational results for the fourth quarter (Q4) and full year (FY) ended 31 December 20223.

  1. LFL comparisons of retail sales between two periods are comparisons of retail sales in local currency (including VAT) generated by the relevant stores. The stores that are included in LFL comparisons are those that have operated for at least 12 full months. Their sales are included in LFL calculations starting from the day of the store's opening. We include all stores that fit our LFL criteria in each reporting period.
  2. Vprok.ru, express delivery, 5Post and Mnogo Lososya.
  3. Numbers in this press release are preliminary and have not been reviewed or audited by the Company's auditor.

Igor Shekhterman

X5 Chief Executive Officer

Despite a challenging macro environment, X5 Group continued to deliver strong results while expanding our market presence and customer offering. In that regard, I would like to start off by thanking the entire X5 team, including all staff and management, for their contribution to X5's impressive performance and their commitment to providing the best possible value and service to our customers.

In 2022, total net sales grew by 18.3% to RUB

2.6 trillion, with net offline sales at Pyaterochka and Perekrestok increasing by 18.0% and 8.3% year-on-year, respectively. X5 added 2,202 net new stores in 2022 (compared to 1,366 net new stores in 2021), driven by the expansion of the Group's proximity and hard discounter formats as well as the addition of stores from Krasny Yar and Slata, two leading retailers in Eastern Siberia, with whom X5 finalised a strategic partnership this year.

We have continued to see standout performance from our hard discounter format, Chizhik, since its launch in the fall of 2020. Chizhik's net sales grew 12-foldyear-on-year in 2022 to nearly RUB 36 billion, while the number of stores increased 7-fold to a total of 517 stores by the end of December. The hard discounter format has proven attractive to customers looking for the best price offer amid ongoing food inflation, and we plan to accelerate store openings for Chizhik in 2023.

X5's digital businesses saw net sales rise by 46.6% year-on-year to RUB 70.4 billion, with our express delivery service, Vprok.ru online hypermarket and the Mnogo Lososya ready-to- eat delivery service demonstrating solid GMV growth in 2022. In 2022, we continued to rapidly expand express delivery services from

Pyaterochka and Perekrestok stores and secured partnerships with three leading delivery aggregators to make online delivery from X5 stores even more convenient. We also completed a revamp of our loyalty programme, X5 Club, which numbered nearly 70 million active loyal customers by the end of Q4 2022.

Social responsibility became an even bigger priority for X5 in 2022. I would particularly like to note our tremendous effort to ensure that all products remained available for our customers despite a very challenging supply chain environment. X5 also continued to support local communities through various charitable initiatives. Notably, we collected more than 518 tonnes of food donations through our Basket of Kindness joint project, a 1.5-fold increase from the amount collected in 2021. We also launched a pilot food sharing initiative, which we plan to roll out across more regions of Russia.

In 2023, our key areas of focus include entry into the Russian Far East, which will significantly expand X5's market geography and create new opportunities for customers and suppliers in the region. After signing a cooperation agreement with the Russian Far East and Arctic Development Corporation (RFEADC) in September 2022, we plan to assess local infrastructure needs in Q1 2023 in order to develop our further course of action.

Additionally, in 2023 we will continue to actively expand our hard discounter and proximity store networks with a focus on more accessible pricing, as well as reviewing opportunities to expand to new territories through strategic partnerships with local retail chains.
