The sales performance for July 2025, as well as for the first seven months of the year, underscored the enduring trust of consumers and the flexibility and adaptability of the JUMBO business model in challenging market conditions.
In the second month of the summer period, the Group recorded an +9% increase in sales compared to the corresponding month of 2024, across all markets of operation.

Reference is made to Israel, where the operations of the franchise partner’s stores bearing the JUMBO brand, maintained a fair pace, despite the challenges posed by the geopolitical environment.
In Romania, the scheduled increase in the VAT rate, presents a challenge for the retail market. The Group’s management has decided to maintain prices at competitive levels by absorbing – to the extent possible – the tax burden.
The JUMBO Group remains committed to its strategy of continued growth, ensuring value creation for both shareholders and consumers.
