REWE Group successfully concluded the 2021 business year with a strong turnover increase of around 2 billion euros, again delivering evidence of its performance strength in the challenging environment caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Total external turnover from continuing operations rose by 2.5 per cent from 74.6 billion euros to 76.5 billion euros.<\/strong><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"myblock-wrapper block-my-text-block block-ingrid\" data-module-name=\"Headline Copy Link\">    <div class=\"textblock margin-row-inner\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n            \n            <p>Upon publication of the not yet audited business figures for 2021, Lionel Souque, CEO of REWE Group, said: <q>We are very satisfied with the strong economic development of our retail and tourism company in Germany and abroad. Unfortunately, the past year was also impacted by the many problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Our Travel and Tourism division again suffered and the lockdown at the start of 2021 was also not without negative effects on the revenue of our DIY Stores division. It is therefore all the more gratifying that we have not only sustained but in some cases also improved on the extremely strong revenues recorded by food retail in Germany and our European markets in 2020. This was not a foregone conclusion when planning for the 2021 business year. We can therefore be all the more pleased that we have exceeded our planned budget. We are and remain on a dynamic course of profitable 2 growth. I would like to very sincerely thank our 380,000 employees in Germany and abroad who are the key to our Group&#8217;s success and have once more delivered an outstanding performance.<\/q><\/p>\n<p>The business of REWE independent merchants in Germany again showed above average positive development, posting a turnover increase of 4.8 per cent in the past business year following growth of 20.5 per cent in 2020. Souque also emphasised the operational strength and innovativeness of the cooperative business group. <q>In the second year of the coronavirus pandemic, we have again proved that our business model in Germany and abroad is very robust and that we are continuing to grow organically despite the many challenges. Among other things, the very positive performance of the Lekkerland convenience business was impressive. At the same time, we are working nationally and internationally on the continuous modernisation of our business, new business models and the extensive digitalisation of our company. Examples last year include the switch of MERKUR to BILLA Plus, the roll-out of the PENNY market hall concept, the many tests of innovations such as the first REWE Pick&amp;Go market and the new generation of Green Building markets, the strategic investment in FLINK and the investments by our DER Touristik Group in Aldiana and DSR Hotels.<\/q><\/p>\n<p>Investment by the Cologne-based retail and tourism company rose from around 1.9 billion euros in 2020 to 2.3 billion euros in the past business year. REWE Group is planning investment of 2.3 billion euros in the current year.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside row-margin-aside my-row-block row-margin\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-aside row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-aside my-cell-block\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-myblocks-row-margin-aside-cell-main row-cell row-margin-aside-cell-main my-cell-block\"><div class=\"myblock-wrapper block-my-text-block block-ingrid\" data-module-name=\"Headline Copy Link\">    <div class=\"textblock margin-row-inner\">\n        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n            <h2 class=\"smaller\">REWE Group <\/h2>\n            <p>The turnover of REWE Group \u2013 not including independent retail and at-equity entities \u2013 from continuing operations rose by 2.5 per cent (2.4 per cent after exchange rate adjustment) from 67.7 billion euros to 69.4 billion euros.<\/p>\n<p>REWE Group in Germany grew by 1.2 per cent to 47.2 billion euros and internationally by 5.5 per cent (5.2 per cent after exchange rate adjustment) to 22.2 billion euros.<\/p>\n<p>Operating EBITA grew from 1.22 billion euros in 2020 to 1.49 billion euros.
