REWE Group ended the 2022 business year on a successful note and continues its stable performance. In view of the many different impacts of the Ukraine war, the consistent course and broad-based international structure (retail, travel and tourism, convenience) have once again paid off. Total revenue rose \u2013 including for inflation-related reasons \u2013 to a high level, while the operating result (EBITA) was down slightly on the previous year\u2019s level. The negative effects on the results \u2013 deliberately costed decline in food retail in Germany by investing in customer prices, cost increases from energy, raw materials, staff, logistics and risk provisions for selected equity investments \u2013 were offset by positive contributions from other parts of the group. This stable result was driven especially by the strong comeback of travel and tourism after the coronavirus pandemic, as well as an encouraging trend in the international business and at Lekkerland. REWE Group\u2019s investments were not only continued in 2022, but intensified at a very high level.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><q>We did not leave our customers out in the rain without an umbrella in 2022<\/q>, says Lionel Souque, CEO of REWE Group, making good on his promise. <q>As announced, we invested a three-digit million sum in Germany alone, effectively and verifiably stabilising our customer prices and deliberately accepting a decline in the result in food retail in Germany and actively foregoing profit.<\/q> Calculated for 2022 as a whole, product range inflation \u2013 i.e. price increases on REWE\u2019s shelves \u2013 was kept at 7.3 per cent at REWE, which for customers was noticeably lower than the consumer price index \u2013 CPI \u2013 for food of 13.4 per cent in 2022, explains Souque.<\/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            <h2 class=\"smaller\">Cooperative principles rather than maximising shareholder value<\/h2>\n            <p><q>By investing in our customers in food retail, we took a conscious decision to forego profit. The strong comeback of travel and tourism and the good performance of other parts of the Group helped us offset the decline. We can do that because, as a cooperative, we are not driven by dividends, but aim to maintain sustainable business practices and generate long-term growth. We ultimately invest up to 99\u00a0per\u00a0cent of what we earn in developing our business segments<\/q>, emphasizes Souque upon publication of the as yet unaudited financials of the company in Cologne. He added that this long-term focus also included, for example, the portfolio management strategy of REWE Group\u2019s wholesale energy trading subsidiary EHA, which in response to skyrocketing energy prices had cushioned the resulting cost increases by almost 150 million euros in Germany in 2022. <q>And unlike other players, we did not scale back or discontinue our investments during the crisis. On the contrary, with a complete focus on what our customers want for the future \u2013 modernisation, digitalisation, innovation and greening \u2013 we even increased them across all business segments to a total volume of 2.8 billion euros.<\/q><\/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            <h2 class=\"smaller\">Solid financial strength secures continued successful organic growth<\/h2>\n            <p>Overall, after three years of economic and socio-political extremes, the broadly based international group of companies was in a very solid financial position, explains the CEO of REWE Group: <q>Given our revenue, results, debt, equity and investment performance, we are in a position to continue in the overall direction we have taken and remain on a steady course from our own resources. We have the right game strategy, composition and team.<\/q> It was a fact, however, that even REWE Group can cushion inflation-driven developments \u2013 by investing in customer prices \u2013 only for a limited time. <q>Given the lower overall return on sales compared with other industries, we kept a very close eye on the continuing cost increases and our earnings power. We have to do so \u2013 not least out of a sense of responsibility to millions of customers across Europe, 384,000 employees, tens of thousands of partners and suppliers and our owners \u2013 to allow us to handle the investments in the medium and long term and to continue to develop the business on a sustainable financial basis<\/q>, explains Lionel Souque.<\/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            <h2 class=\"smaller\">Customers trust REWE retailers in times of crisis: revenue up 6.4 per cent <\/h2>\n            <p>The revenue generated by the REWE retailers under the umbrella of the cooperative REWE Group increased by 6.4 per cent to 15.9 billion euros. <q>The independent REWE retailers were able to score, even in a year that was economically very difficult for our customers; they are and will remain the drivers of success for REWE<\/q>, continues the CEO of REWE Group.<\/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            <h2 class=\"smaller\">REWE Group revenue increases by 10.4 per cent<\/h2>\n            <p>In the last business year, REWE Group\u2019s revenue rose by 10.4\u00a0per\u00a0cent, from 76.8\u00a0billion to 84.8\u00a0billion euros.

The deliberately accepted decline in the result in food retail in Germany (REWE, PENNY), cost increases from energy, raw materials, logistics and staff, as well as risk provisions for selected equity investments were offset by positive contributions from other parts of the combine; contributing factors were especially the positive trend in travel and tourism, complemented by good performance in the international business and at Lekkerland.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, the combine further boosted its investment activities despite the crisis: Investments in property and intangible assets rose by around 520 million euros from 2.3 billion euros to 2.8 billion euros.<\/p>\n<p>REWE Group is planning investments of 2.7 billion euros in the current year.
