Operating review
Group Net Retail Revenue in Q2 and H1 2020
DA! discounters
As stores with a well-balanced, high-quality assortment at competitive prices, DA! discounters were the main growth drivers for the Group in Q2 2020. During the pandemic months, the customers greatly appreciated both the shopping experience and selection of products on offer.

The ongoing efforts to improve customer value proposition and the quality of its products and services, while aiming to continue offering competitive prices for essential goods, resulted in higher customer loyalty and impressive top-line growth. Compared to the sustainable average growth of over 30%, the DA! stores showed a significant acceleration in revenue growth during Q2 2020. DA! discounters net retail revenue soared by 50.8% YoY to US $95mln, realising $ 457 per-square-meter, driven mainly by LFL net retail revenue growth and supported by expanded selling space.

The DA! stores delivered a 34.7% LFL net retail revenue increase during Q2 2020. The growth is attributable to a 47.2% increase in the average LFL ticket, while LFL traffic was down by 8.5% in Q2 2020.

Customer traffic fell year-on-year in April and May as a result of less frequent store visits due to the COVID-19 restrictions. However, this accelerated to a growth of 11.5% YoY in June, as the self-isolation was eased. The average ticket growth, conversely, peaked in April-May due for the most part to the higher number of items per basket.

Thanks to the balanced selection on offer, the brand showed an impressive growth in sales across all product categories without any substantial changes in the sales mix during Q2 2020. The share of private labels totalled 50% of all DA! sales in Q2 2020.
O'KEY Group opened three and closed three DA! Discounters in Q2 2020, and operates 100 discounters with 69,313 sq. m. of selling space as of 30 June 2020.
