Peter Shaw, Chief Executive of DP Poland said:

“The continuing improvement in corporate store EBITDA performance, coupled with a growing contribution from sub-franchise sales royalties and commissary sales, plus a reduction in central expenditure has considerably reduced Group EBITDA losses in the first half, compared to the first half of last year.

On the back of continued improvement in store performance we have been focused this year on finding and negotiating new sites. Our fourth store in Krakow opened in late August and is performing well. In October we will be opening in a third Polish city, joining Warsaw and Krakow and we are targeting further store openings in additional cities by the year end.

I am delighted to announce the imminent opening of our new commissary, which will give us the capacity to supply fresh dough and ingredients to our expanding store estate across Poland, while positively impacting the cost of dough production, warehousing, order picking and goods handling. With an initial capacity to supply 50 stores, the new commissary will give us the option to expand production capacity further to supply up to 100 stores, with minimal additional capital outlay.”
