ACTIVITY REPORT

The retail turnover (including VAT) of Apranga Group reached EUR 204.2 million in 12 months 2020 or by 17.6% less than in the same period of 2019. In 2020, the retail turnover of Apranga Group in Lithuania was EUR 118.3 million and decreased by 19.8% year-on-year. In 2020, the retail turnover of Apranga Group in Latvia was EUR 52.4 million and decreased by 11.8% year-on-year, in Estonia has made EUR 33.5 million and decreased by 18.5% year-on-year.

Based on the Government of the Republic of Lithuania act regarding quarantine declaration, from 16th March 2020 until 18th April 2020 all Apranga Group stores in Lithuania were closed due to epidemic coronavirus (COVID-19) infection (stores in supermarkets were closed until 25th April 2020). Also, according to the resolution of the Government of the Republic of Estonia, all Group stores operating in shopping malls in Estonia were closed from 27th March 2020 until 11th May 2020. From 28th March 2020 until 16th May 2020, stores in Latvia operating in shopping malls could not work on weekends. Also, from 16th December 2020, all the Group's stores in Lithuania are temporarily closed. In Latvia, the stores are temporarily closed from 19th December 2020 (until then, from 14th November 2020, trading on weekends was prohibited in Latvia). These temporary store closures had a significant impact on the Group's generated turnover, earned profit and, accordingly, financial performance.

According to EUROSTAT data, the retail trade (except of motor vehicles, motorcycles and fuel) in Baltic States in 12 months 2020 grew in all three Baltic countries - from 1% to 5%. Retail sales grew the least in Latvia (+1%) and the highest in Estonia (+5%). The growth rates of retail trade in the 4th quarter of 2020 were very high in Lithuania (+7%) and Estonia (+7%). In Latvia, meanwhile, retail trade even declined in the last quarter of 2020 (-1%). European Union (28 countries) retail trade in 12 months 2020 increased by 0.3% (in the corresponding period of 2019 it grew by 2.7%).

In 12 months 2020, the turnover of all chains decreased significantly due to the imposed trade restrictions.
