Business environment

Silvano Fashion Group with its brand portfolio is a recognized market leader in the lingerie segment in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, has exceptionally strong foothold in other Russian-speaking countries (including Kazakhstan and Moldova) and is a recognized player in the Baltic consumer markets.

While the private consumption is increasing in Ukraine, the Baltics and other markets of the Group, then more cautionary economic climate can be noticed in Russia and Belarus. In both countries, the central banks seem to advocate for the more conservative monetary policy – in Russia, to balance the capital outflows and manage the deteriorating import and export balance, in Belarus – to tame the inflation and to lower the cost of financing for the individuals and for the businesses. Overall, this signals somewhat cautionary outlook of our customers on the remaining three quarters of the year.

On the store openings, Q1 2013 the net increase (including openings and store closures primarily due to relocation) for Milavitsa stores was 15 units and 1 unit under the Lauma Lingerie brand. The Group therefore operated directly and via franchise a total of 598 stores (net increase of 16 stores compared to end of 2012). Total geography of our franchise partners now covers more than 20 countries, including Milavitsa and Lauma Lingerie branded stores.  

Russia, our core market in terms of total sales and total number of stores (356 stores in total), showed 19 644 thousand EUR in sales for Q1 2013 compared to 18 609 thousand in Q1 2012. By the data of Ministry of Economy the Russia’s GDP advanced by 1.1% during the first quarter of 2013. The consensus growth estimate for 2013 GDP is 3.6%. Going forward, tighter access to credit, via higher interest rates and the likelihood of more prudent lending practices by banks, will translate to weaker household consumption.

In Belarus, the Group operates directly and via franchise a total of 54 stores. Our sales in Belarus totalled 7 434 thousand EUR for Q1 2013 compared to 6 594 thousand in Q1 2012. The country’s GDP growth for Q1 2013 totaled 3.5%, whereas consumer prices increased by 5.4%.

Ukraine seems to get over the distress, especially in the area of private consumption. With 88 stores, and significant portion of the wholesale activity, the country produced a sales of 2 109 thousand EUR in Q1 2013, compared to 1 574 thousand EUR in Q1 2012. The overall economic growth measured by GDP increased by modest 0.5% during the Q1 2013.

Baltic economies continue performing well. According to Swedbank estimates, the Baltic States shall outperform the rest of the EU, with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania GDP estimates for 2013 of 3.3%, 4.3% and 4.0%, respectively. The Group operates directly and indirectly via franchise 39 stores in the region, whereas our sales there totalled 584 thousand EUR in Q1 2013, compared to 524 thousand EUR in Q1 2012.
