According to the Group's budget for the current financial year, sales are expected to range between 4% - 7%, while earnings are expected to remain at the same level of the previous year, as the VAT increase in Greece, the Euro / Dollar exchange rate and the continuing deflationary policy enforced in the Greek market are expected to press the gross margin profit.
The company's administration stated that it will come back with the latest estimates after the second quarter of the financial year (Christmas Season) when there will be a better view of the trends that have been formed, as a downtrend has been observed during the last 20 days concerning the sales of the stores in Greece compared to the previous year's sales for the corresponding period.
Concerning the financial year that started in July 2016, is it estimated that the new hyper-store of JUMBO Group will operate in Bulgaria in November, while the Group invests in two new hyper-stores in Romania, which are estimated to operate by Christmas 2017.
