Detskiy Mir 4Q 19 - Sales growth was as expected at 13.4% yoy

Detskiy Mir reported its 4Q 19 trading update, with revenue increasing in line with our expectations by 13.4% yoy despite abnormally warm weather. Detskiy Mir stores LFL sales growth amounted to 5.0%, driven by positive LFL traffic, while LFL ticket returned to the red. The company commented that according to preliminary data the companys adjusted EBITDA for 2019e increased by at least 16% yoy (2019 revenue increased by 16.1% yoy), which may mean that we are a bit too conservative in our profitability assumptions for 4Q 19e. With that in mind, we consider the trading update as a slight positive.
