CCC increases sales and maintains cost discipline

• The CCC Group has been reducing its revenue to income ratio for seven consecutive months.
• The company began expanding into the Spanish and Italian markets.
• The planned increase in store space should translate into higher sales revenues in the coming quarters.

The CCC Group estimates that in the first quarter of the 2025/26 financial year, the group’s revenue amounted to PLN 2.35 billion, of which the CCC brand amounted to approximately PLN 1 billion, which means a 9% year-on-year increase.

HalfPrice recorded higher revenues, which amounted to over PLN 443 million, which is a result better by 20 percent. Lower revenue dynamics occurred in the Modivo Group, but as stated in the announcement, this was in line with the adopted assumptions and results mainly from strategic decisions related to the termination of operations in unprofitable markets.

CCC Group receives cost discipline across all business lines

EBITDA profit amounted to PLN 376 million, adjusted EBITDA profit PLN 320 million, and operating profit PLN 214 million. For comparison, a year ago, EBIDA profit amounted to PLN 301 million, adjusted EBITDA PLN 285 million, and operating profit PLN 151 million.

The CCC Group maintains cost discipline in all business lines . Importantly, in Q1 it managed to reduce the cost to income ratio by almost 2 percentage points to 43.9 percent. This was the seventh consecutive quarter of improvement in year-on-year terms.

We are consistently implementing our strategic goals. We have ambitious plans for the development of retail space, this year by over 300 thousand square meters, and we are gradually implementing them. This is significantly more than we originally assumed - we have to use the opportunities that arise - our stores are very profitable, and in addition we receive offers to rent good premises on favorable terms for the group - said Dariusz Miłek, president of CCC, quoted in the release.

-As Dariusz Miłek added - We are still focusing on expansion in the Central and Eastern European region, but in line with the announced plan, we are also taking advantage of opportunities in the markets of Southern Europe. We have opened a HalfPrice store in the capital of Spain, and at the beginning of May , the first store of the chain began operating in Italy . The debut in both of these countries is a great success for us, which gives hope for effective, further expansion in these markets.
