In the month of March, Wholesale revenue decreased by 9%. The decline in
wholesale revenue is largely attributable to developments in the Russian market
where a wholesale partner's seven stores were taken over and integrated into
Baltika's retail system in May 2009.
Consolidated sales revenue for the first three months totalled 173 million
kroons (-22% yoy), including retail revenues of 156 million kroons (-20%) and
wholesale revenues of 16 million kroons (-41%).
One store was opened in Latvia in March. The number of stores amounted to 131 at
the end of the month (133 stores at the end of March 2009).
