Real<br />
Real’s sales grew by 1.8 percent to €11.5 billion in 2010 (in<br />
local currencies: +0.2 percent). Like-for-like sales increased<br />
by 0.1 percent.<br />
In Germany, Real continued to forge ahead with its repositioning<br />
in a difficult environment. while sales fell by 1.8 percent<br />
to €8.4 billion, this decline is exclusively due to the<br />
liquidation of 13 unprofitable hypermarkets. Like-for-like<br />
sales were 0.2 percent higher than a year earlier.<br />

Real’s international share of sales rose from 23.9 percent to<br />
26.6 percent.<br />
Sales in Eastern Europe increased by 13.1 percent to €3.1<br />
billion (in local currencies: +6.1 percent). while sales in<br />
Russia and Turkey grew dynamically, the difficult economic<br />
environment caused sales in Romania to decline. Like-forlike<br />
sales in Eastern Europe dropped by 0.5 percent, with the<br />
strong like-for-like sales growth in Russia and Turkey nearly<br />
offsetting the sales decline in Romania.<br />
At the end of 2010, Real’s network of locations comprised<br />
429 hypermarkets in 6 countries: 320 in Germany and 109 in<br />
Eastern Europe.<br />
EBIT improved by about €69 million to €105 million. EBIT<br />
before special items also increased markedly by €80 million<br />
to €132 million. with the help of Shape 2012 Real was able to<br />
improve its gross profit margin in Germany and further lower<br />
its costs. In Eastern Europe, Real posted a positive EBIT for<br />
the first time. In the context of Shape 2012, productivity gains<br />
in Russia and Turkey as well as cost savings in Romania are<br />
having a particularly positive effect in this region.<br />
