We also achieved arecord EBITDA margin, which enables us to maneuver competitively in theRussian marketplace and gives us the ability to balance profit margins andsales growth.Please note that in order to correctly compare our hypermarketswith those of our competitors, it is important to take into account the factthat most of our hypermarkets are of a smaller size with an average sellingspace of under 3,000 square meters. In order to compare "apples to apples," wewould like to highlight the operating efficiency of our large formathypermarkets (6 stores with a selling space of over 7,000 square meters). In2013, these 6 large format Magnit hypermarkets had an EBITDA margin of 12.27%.Additionally, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that some ofour competitors also use a different methodology to calculate their LFLnumbers. Specifically, some of our competitors put their stores into their LFLbase only 1 month after opening, which results in an overstatement of theirLFL traffic compared to ours."---------------------------------[1] Based on management accounts[2] Based on the average exchange rate for 2013 - 31.8480 RUR per 1 US$, 2012- 31.0930 RUR per 1 US$4Q and FY 2013 Key Operating and Financial Highlights: 4Q 4Q Growth 12М 12М Growth 2013 2012 Rate 2013 2012 RateNumber of opened stores, NET 447 765 n/a 1,209 1,575 n/a convenience stores 417 523 n/a 1,154 1,040 n/a hypermarkets 13 21 n/a 35 36 n/a magnit family 16 9 n/a 26 17 n/a cosmetics stores 1 212 n/a (6) 482 n/aTotal number of stores 8,093 6,884 n/a 8,093 6,884 n/a convenience stores 7,200 6,046 n/a 7,200 6,046 n/a hypermarkets 161 126 n/a 161 126 n/a magnit family 46 20 n/a 46 20 n/a cosmetics stores 686 692 n/a 686 692 n/aSelling space growth, th. sq.m. 169.99 288.38 n/a 462.12 579.09 n/a convenience stores 116.46 164.03 n/a 334.74 339.63 n/a hypermarkets 34.43 62.93 n/a 95.26 109.17 n/a magnit family 17.83 10.73 n/a 28.91 20.56 n/a cosmetics stores 1.27 50.68 n/a 3.21 109.74 n/aSelling space, eop, th. sq. m. 3,011.38 2,549.26 18.13% 3,011.38 2,549.26 18.13% convenience stores 2,312.20 1,977.46 16.93% 2,312.20 1,977.46 16.93% hypermarkets 482.88 387.62 24.58% 482.88 387.62 24.58% magnit family 53.26 24.36 118.67% 53.26 24.36 118.67% cosmetics stores 163.04 159.83 2.01% 163.04 159.83 2.01%Number of customers, million 656.92 549.44 19.56% 2,465.05 2,033.43 21.23% convenience stores 579.17 497.07 16.52% 2,193.87 1,863.62 17.72% hypermarkets 53.45 39.47 35.42% 193.06 137.69 40.21% magnit family 9.57 4.34 120.63% 29.60 8.87 233.84% cosmetics stores 14.73 8.56 72.03% 48.52 23.25 108.70%LFL ResultsLFL growth 4Q 2013 - 4Q 2012[3] Convenience Hypermarkets Magnit Cosmetics Total stores Family storesAverage ticket (excl.
