O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Strategic Report
A Statement by Tony Maher, Chairman and Chief Executive 

“ In terms of revenue growth, we will continue  
our organic expansion in high value cities  
and maintain our commitment to a strong 
customer proposition.”

Our belief in the potential and scale of the underexploited 
Russian retail opportunity remains strong given the 
long-term macroeconomic trends, such as improving 
household incomes and growth in consumption.  
Our firm conviction remains to offer an outstanding 
shopping experience and make a broad range of 
products at attractive prices more accessible to 
customers across Russia.  

The current environment is characterised by a number  
of challenges. Market conditions were primarily affected 
by greater competition not just for customers, but  
also for qualified labour and future store locations.  
In response we are focussing on near-term objectives 
which will enhance our value proposition and appeal to 
customers. We monitor our performance against these 
objectives via the system of Key Performance Indicators 
(on pages 10 and 11) that measures the efficiency with 
which the Group manages customer satisfaction and 
maintains high value proposition.  

As the marketplace evolves, our notably strong brand 
equity and customer proposition will need to be matched 

by an equally strong operating discipline in all aspects  
of the Group’s activities. Indeed, current market 
conditions and the creation of a new fully-fledged 
supermarket division present a valuable opportunity  
to pay particular attention to internal efficiency and 
management effectiveness. We are committed to 
making these the key features of our future growth.

Strategy
The central pillars of the O’KEY strategic vision remain 
unchanged: in terms of revenue growth, we will  
continue our organic expansion in large and medium 
sized cities and maintain our commitment to a strong 
customer proposition. 

In terms of products, this means a broad assortment 
and distinctive offerings which combine private label, 
branded and self-produced ranges. Superior quality  
is a competitive differentiator and our consistent 
emphasis on fresh produce, in-store preparation and 
delicatessen selections remains important within both 
the hypermarket and supermarket formats.

Tony Maher 
Chairman and Chief Executive

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Strategic Report (continued)

Loyalty is a key feature of the O’KEY Group’s success. 
Our regular customers contribute 85% of our stores 
revenues. We also enjoy one of the lowest staff  
turnover rates among Russian retailers. The Group  
has successfully built this loyalty through an unrelenting 
focus on the details which have become hallmarks of  
our customer service, notably well-trained staff providing 
consistency in the way O’KEY delivers its proposition 
and thereby creating strong brand equity.

The format of our stores and the shopping environment 
is at or above the standards of Western Europe which 
makes O’KEY a differentiated concept in the Russian 
market. Our hypermarkets, with good transport links 
complemented by supermarkets within walking distance 
of residential districts, provide consumers with exciting 
options and convenience.

In every case our customers expect the same O’KEY 
in-store experience and, as the Group expands and its 
formats develop, meeting these expectations requires  
a greater level of management discipline. Naturally no 
business expands without also managing the risks 
encountered both internally and externally. We realise  
the risks and challenges that our business faces now 
and will focus on managing those to deliver profitable 
growth in the future. Further information on risks is 
contained on pages 25 to 27.

“ We are working on a number  
of improvements to address  
the rate and manner in which  
we execute new store openings. 
Given the number of locations  
we have secured to date,  
we will accelerate our store 
opening programme.” 

Priorities going forward
Looking ahead there is a need to focus on better 
execution of our strategy with the aim of maintaining  
our strong market position and achieving our growth 
potential in a way which adds value. We will be paying 
particular attention to the following areas:

There are opportunities for overhead reduction, both  
as a percentage of revenue and in absolute terms,  
and we are taking steps to decrease our general and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of our revenue.

We are working on a number of improvements to 
address the rate and manner in which we execute new 
store openings. Given the number of locations we have 
secured to date, we will accelerate our store opening 
programme and achieving this will depend on more 
disciplined and responsible project management as  
well as greater control throughout the different stages  
of store construction. 

In addition we aim to ensure that the pipeline of sites  
for future store locations is secured, on a rolling basis,  
a full three years in advance of proposed opening. 

In relation to new openings we have announced  
plans to develop a discounted store format that will 
clearly be differentiated from other small formats in  
the Russian market today. Compared to our larger  
stores the discounter format will trade from store sizes  
of 750 square metres, will have a smaller assortment  
and will be entirely based on its own logistics platform.  
The discounted format will clearly be different from  
our existing stores, yet we intend to maintain our  
high standards of service and comfortable in store 
environment. We are finalising the team who will deliver 
this project and are on track to build the distribution 
centre this year and secure the necessary locations  
for the first openings in 2015.

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Strategic Report (continued)

In general the Group aims to increase its margins  
going forward but not at the expense of our overall 
competitiveness. Through measures that improve our 
working capital and efficiencies across the businesses, 
we will improve our price competitiveness and deliver 
higher value to our customers. Our ambition is to 
maximise long-term value by achieving a balanced  
set of results in terms of our key indicators and to  
ensure that this balance is sustained as our growth  
plans are realised.

Overall, the long-term outlook for our business model 
remains compelling and the growth trajectory in the 
Russian grocery markets is positive. O’KEY has 
successfully grown to serve 6.5 million satisfied 
customers a year from 500 thousand square metres  
of high quality trading space and today employs around 
25,000 hardworking and loyal employees. I am therefore 
confident the actions we are taking now will deliver 
superior results for our stakeholders in the year ahead.

Review of the year and growth history
The last five years have shown a commitment  
to delivering growth: 

 – Growth in gross and net profit

 – Stable EBITDA margins

 – Managed expansion: of stores, products,  

selling space, infrastructure

Improved net debt profile

 – Growth in market share in core markets

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Business Model

“ Since opening our first hypermarket in 2002, O’KEY 
has developed a differentiated business model that, 
uniquely for the Russian market, focusses on 
delivering a positive customer experience.”

As a result, customer loyalty is high, with regular customers accounting for around 85% of revenues.

This positioning has enabled us to compete successfully in the most competitive market in Russia – St. Petersburg 
– and then roll out our stores across Russia to become one of the country’s largest food retailers.

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013The Consumer Environment

“Russia is the largest 
market in Europe and  
also has one of the fastest 
growing retail sectors.  
Per capita consumer  
spend is forecast to 
increase by 44% between 
2013 and 2016.”

With a population of 143.3 million, Russia is the largest 
market in Europe and also has one of the fastest growing 
retail sectors. Between 2008 and 2013, Russian retail 
turnover increased by approximately 70% in Russian 
Rouble terms and 33%1 in US Dollar terms. Over the 
same period, the total Russian retail market grew from 
being the sixth largest by turnover globally to the third. 

The Russian grocery retail market is the fifth largest 
market in the world and has demonstrated steady 
growth since the crisis of 2009. A key driver of this 
growth is inflation, which amounted to 6.8% in 2013  
on a CPI basis, and food inflation was slightly higher  
at 7.7%. Moderate inflation is positive for grocery  
retailers as it causes the value of the average customer 
basket to rise and offsets cost increases. O’KEY’s 
average basket in hypermarkets grew by 7.5% to  
RUB 934 in 2013.   

The unemployment rate in Russia has declined from 
8.3% in 2009 to 5.5% in 2012-13 due to the positive 
economic conditions in the country. Economic growth 
and declining unemployment resulted in average wages 
almost doubling from less than RUB 22,000 in 2008 to 
an all-time high of RUB 39,648 in December 2013. 

These dual trends of increasing real wages and growing 
employment have remained robust over the past three 
years and have created favourable conditions for retailers. 

Per capita consumer spend in the Russian retail market 
is forecast to increase by 44% between 2013 and 2016. 
Whilst, in PwC’s “World in 2050” report, Russia is 
forecast to become the largest European economy  
in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms by 2020.

In addition, Russian customers have progressively 
changed their habits by moving away from their 
traditional reliance on shopping at markets to more 
modern retail outlets. According to a 2013 GfK Russia 
survey, modern retail outlets have more than 61% share 
of total retail sales. Retail chains are expanding rapidly in 
Russia and, according to an Infoline Agency report, the 
top 130 Russian retail chains opened more than 4,200 
new outlets in 2013.

The amount of retail selling space per capita in Russia  
is underdeveloped, despite rapid rates of expansion by 
Russia’s largest retail chains in recent years. The number 
of square metres of selling area per 1000 people in 
Russia is 6421 compared to developed European 
countries where this indicator is above 1,500 square 
metres per 1000 people on average. Whilst these figures 
clearly highlight Russia’s ongoing potential as a market, 
as well as consumers’ increased purchasing power  
and disposable income, it is O’KEY’s commitment to 
customer service which has, and continues to, enable  
us to exploit the positive macroeconomic and sector 
environment. The loyalty engendered by our unique 
product offering is borne from our share of revenue 
generated from loyalty card holders – a rate unmatched 
by our peers.

Over the years of our successful development, O’KEY 
has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise, 
all of which we use to achieve one goal: exceeding 
customer expectations. In everything we do, whether  
it is choosing a store location, tailoring the product 
assortment structure or controlling quality of service  
and merchandise, we judge success based on the 
quality of the shopping experience and the value for 
money our customers receive in our stores. 

The quality of a customer’s shopping experience starts 
with the convenience of store location. It is not just 
proximity to the customers, but also the ease of reaching 
and leaving the store by various means and, in relevant 
cases, the availability of parking. To ensure every store 
meets customer requirements, we have embedded  
a process of project evaluation to ensure consistency 
throughout the Company. 

Another element that differentiates O’KEY from our 
competitors is the store layout. Our premises are bright, 
warm and well ventilated with a convenient and well 
signed section layout that utilises low shelving to ensure 
all produce is easy to reach. In contrast to many local 
competitors, O’KEY does not use forklift trucks in 
customer areas and individual SKUs are restocked 
discreetly from inventories maintained in stockrooms.  
We also provide additional services and products before 
our till lines in order to maximise convenience and 
provide a one-stop-shopping experience. These 
services include pharmacies, dry cleaners, toy stores, 
banking services and even food courts which are 
provided through carefully selected partners.

A fundamental feature of the shopping experience  
is the level of customer service. The superior quality  
of service provided and friendliness of our employees  
is what underpins the friendly shopping environment  
of our stores. To promote consistent quality of customer 
service, we enrol employees in compulsory training 
programs in corporate culture, hospitality and conflict 
management. Additionally, all our hypermarkets have  
an information desk where dedicated employees are 
available to provide advice and assistance to customers. 
The O’KEY shopping experience concludes with  
quick and easy service at the check-out points which  
are designed to minimise queuing time.

and Compelling 
Assortment

16

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013O’KEY’s wide product assortment of both food and 
non-food produce that is high in quality and 
freshness makes O’KEY a destination of choice. 

Our product assortment is an important differentiator  
for the Company. We developed our assortment 
structure around customer needs and tailored it to 
appropriate quality and price expectations. The minimum 
35,000 SKUs stocked all year round represent a well-
balanced portfolio of products that meet differing 
expectations and needs regardless of customers’ 
income levels and preferences. 

We offer close to 13,000 SKUs in food and almost  
twice as many items in non-food, where categories 
include cosmetics, health and beauty, consumer 
electronics, clothing, DIY, toys and crockery. Our 
selection of fresh food and delicatessen prepared in 
every hypermarket has become a signature of O’KEY 
and very popular with our customers. At the same time 
we have developed our private label that provides high 
quality for a moderate price.

We recognise that our customers appreciate the level  
of quality associated with international brands and they 
feature in all our stores. However, we equally recognise 
that throughout Russia customers appreciate locally-
sourced produce. Therefore, when developing the 
assortment structure for a particular region or city, we 
make sure local tastes and expectations are catered for. 
Naturally, fresh foods form a large part of our local 
assortment, which brings numerous advantages such  
as shorter lead-time, a longer subsequent shelf life,  
high brand recognition and better inventory rotation. 

Having a broad assortment allows us to meet customer 
expectations in respect to choice and this is where the 
quality aspect becomes the key decision trigger for a 
purchase. Our product Quality Control Department and 
monitoring units maintain permanent quality monitoring  
in stores, detect and bring to the attention of the 
management any deviations from norms. They also have 
the responsibility to educate and develop staff awareness 
and involvement in quality control. Our food safety and 
health inspectors conduct regular spot-checks on food 
preparation areas and medical checks on employees  
who work with food.

As with product quality, we carefully monitor standards 
of service quality. O’KEY has developed a number of 
proprietary policies where Quality Managers perform 
checks in store to ensure compliance and develop 
improvement initiatives. The standards of service 
provided within each store impacts our results and  
how our customers perceive our stores and we  
consider them to be very important. To highlight this, 
store management compensation correlates to the 
results of the service inspections: around 25% of store 
managers’ bonuses are determined by the scores of  
the inspections. 

By offering customers an extensive choice of quality 
products and by tailoring our assortment in response  
to evolving preferences, O’KEY differentiates itself from 
its competitors and builds long-lasting relationships  
with customers.

by delivering value.

Due to the breadth of our assortment, as well as the 
availability of non-food products, private labels and the 
additional services we can offer, our hypermarkets 
become destination points for shoppers and customers 
are often willing to travel long distances to our stores.

We don’t believe our customers shop at O’KEY stores 
only because of our prices, but we know that they could 
easily stop shopping with us if we get pricing wrong.  
We therefore have a price monitoring system in place  
to ensure that our prices always stay highly competitive 
in the marketplace. To ensure the competitiveness of our 
products we align our prices on comparable items to our 
competitors’ lowest prices. Price matching is done on a 
daily basis for the top 30 SKUs and then on an extended 
range every week. Products that do not have an exact 
match in competitor stores, or where we have lower 
purchase prices, are subject to gross margin limits. In 
addition to direct price reductions, customers are offered 
promotions and catalogues containing special discounts.

To ensure that we are in line with our major competitors 
we consistently invest in our prices. We increase our 
competitiveness by passing surplus margin and cost 
savings into selling prices, offering private labels and 
regularly offering promotions and sales.

Our overall objective with regards to pricing is to provide 
our customers with the best value offer. We give 
customers plenty of choice so that they can make a 
balanced decision on the products they buy, and our 
pricing policy ensures that they receive good offers 
whether they look for quality or price.

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Corporate Social Responsibility

Our Board of Directors and Executive Management are committed to 
meeting high standards in Corporate Social Responsibility. At O’KEY 
we see sustainable growth as a critical part of our business model. 
For us, meeting the needs of the modern consumer means operating 
responsibly to ensure that we create opportunities for future 
generations to realise their potential. For this reason, we support  
a full range of corporate social responsibility activities covering  
our key focus areas of anti-corruption, health and safety, employee 
recruitment and retention and community work.

Anti-corruption
In 2013 we have continued to implement the Company guidelines 
regarding ethics and corruption that were set out in 2012 and 
strengthened the anti-corruption measures we have in place to protect 
our business integrity and that of our employees and suppliers.

Our guidelines explicitly commit O’KEY as a company to the principles 
of open partnership and business ethics and underline our zero 
tolerance policy towards corruption. Managers must adhere to a strict 
policy concerning gifts and discounts and are encouraged to report 
any practice failing to meet these standards to our dedicated 
whistleblower e-mail address to be investigated by the internal audit 
and security departments.

Our supplier policy, which was instituted in 2010, sets out strict 
standards and aims to minimise any potential conflict of interest when 
choosing a supplier. The policy requires a full-scale tender process  
is carried out to assess the merits of all potential suppliers with  
a final decision subject to committee approval. While any business 
with a large scale supply chain will always face challenges in terms  
of ensuring complete transparency, we strive to maintain best practice  
at every step of the process. In this vein, any new contract between 
O’KEY and a supplier now includes an addendum stipulating that the 
supplier will inform a specified Company representative about any 
known cases of corruption and our partners now have an obligation  
to report any member of our staff soliciting an unauthorised payment 
or bribe. Introduced in 2012, this cross-party agreement adds another 
level of security to our already robust anti-corruption measures. 

Further, in 2013 we have implemented tender procedures for the 
selection of new service providers/subcontractors in the security and 
construction departments. These procedures were implemented to 
improve the efficiency of the decision-making process and reduce  
the scope for abuse by individuals by introducing committees with 
balanced expertise. Tender committees usually consist of three to 
seven people from departments involved in the services ordered. 
Participants usually include staff from the security, financial and legal 
departments, and the list can be extended to involve specialists from 
sales, construction and development departments.

systematised statistical reports on injuries, working conditions  
and accidents that are now available on a regular basis. In 2013  
we have implemented a set of measures and instructions directed  
at prevention of accidents that are compulsory for store employees.  
In addition, we have revised investigation process for the accidents 
with our employees and customers.

As a result of our systematic approach to the management of safety  
at work, the number of work related injuries has decreased from 
 58 in 2012 to 54 in 2013, where the most important indicator is the 
decline in the number of grave injuries to zero reported in 2013.

Our employees
Recruitment
O’KEY is an equal opportunities employer that aims to recruit the 
most qualified candidate for each position, while taking account of 
diversity. In 2012 we introduced an officially authorised Recruitment 
Policy that prohibits any discrimination on the grounds of race, age, 
sex or religion. In 2013 we have continued to implement and monitor 
compliance with this policy across our operations and have also 
increased awareness by running diversity workshops and seminars  
to the management teams across the organisation.

We continue to develop our Graduate Recruitment and Development 
Programme for talented graduates who are interested in building  
a career in retail. Last year we recruited 45 newly-qualified graduates  
to our one-year learning and development programme across the 
country. In 2013 we launched the programme in every location where 
we operate.

In 2013 we continued our internal anti-corruption training programmes 
for employees and management which educate our teams on the 
procedures and safeguards in place and ensure that they are aware  
of the consequences of failing to meet our high standards. Any 
employee involved in drawing up budgets or choosing suppliers  
is obliged to attend. 

In addition, we ran over 100 short-term internship programmes at 
local colleges and universities last year as well as career days and 
professional seminars and workshops to the students who take retail 
related courses as their majors to enrich their capabilities with real 
business environment examples. 

Health and safety
The Company takes full responsibility for providing its workforce  
of more than 24,500 employees with safe working conditions which 
meet all the health and safety standards and regulations. Over the 
course of 2013, we have performed routine assessments to ensure 
that our sites comply in full with Federal Laws on Health and  
Safety requirements. Assessments are performed regularly at least  
12 times per year and are supported by the system of reports that 
was introduced in 2013. During the year we have developed and 

Retention
Retention rates varied by department in 2013. We continued to  
roll out our Talent Management system, which aims to assess and 
develop talented managers across all departments. With assessment 
of over 2,500 managers completed, we have improved our 
understanding of our staff’s capabilities, aspirations and performance 
and put in place individual development plans in order to build a 
succession pipeline within almost all departments.

20

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Motivation
Leveraging the full potential of our workforce has and will be  
central to meeting our commitments to the customer. With this  
in mind, our competitive pay and incentive schemes aim to maximise 
performance. In addition to meeting statutory requirements, O’KEY 
provides additional benefits to its employees such as medical 
insurance, access to sports facilities and a provision for one-off fiscal 
aid for employees in financial difficulties. All employees are also part  
of a variety of incentive schemes, which are dependent on individual 
performance. Moreover, we conduct an annual salary review every 
July, ensuring that salaries reflect performance, responsibility and 
wider labour trends.

Building trust across the organisation between staff and management 
is key to maintaining motivation. In order to achieve this, we conduct 
regular performance appraisals for employees in which performance 
objectives are set, monitored and evaluated against management’s 
quarterly targets. To ensure appraisals are conducted fairly, our HR 
department monitors this process and makes recommendations as 
necessary. In 2013 we expanded our “Social Committees” which aim 
to resolve any labour related issues arising between management  
and employees as early as possible and ensure that the O’KEY team 
is pulling together and heading in the same direction. In the last year, 
we ran 30 Social Committee meetings.

Training and development 
We aim to provide training to develop the skills of our employees and 
offer opportunities for them to progress within the Group by recruiting 
internally wherever possible. Our sales department set the highest 
standard across the Company with almost 90% of all managerial 
vacancies filled internally in existing stores. 

We also run training programmes for our management teams.  
Our 30 most senior managers participate in the Top Team 
Development Programme. Adhering to the principals of constant 
learning and growth, the programme focusses on strategic vision  
and leadership qualities. As opposed to a one-off box ticking  
exercise, the programme is held throughout the year including 
modules on personal executive coaching and business simulation.
For middle and junior management, we run a Retail Excellence 
Programme (REX) and REX Light which over 1,700 managers  
now attend. Aimed at developing managerial skills with a retail  
focus, the uptake and feedback from this scheme has been 
overwhelmingly positive. 

Gender diversity
We believe gender diversity is important for any business, and are 
particularly proud of our performance in this area: in 2013 women 
made up over 60% of store directors, 70% of the Company’s entire 
workforce and 45% of senior management positions.

Employee engagement
In what is rapidly becoming an O’KEY tradition, we held anniversary 
celebrations for all employees in 2013. Held at every store, a variety  
of events were staged for employees and their families.

In addition, in 2013, we also brought some changes to our corporate 
magazine by adding new columns and sections to make it more 
attractive and user friendly. 

Community work
We strongly believe that the long-term economic success of any 
organisation is closely related to the Company’s involvement in the 
local community and its contribution to the social and economic 
development of the regions where it operates.

Community work is a key area of focus for O’KEY. Our initiatives  
are focused on the Leningrad Region in the North West, where our 
Company has its roots; however we are also expanding our presence 
to the other geographies in which we are currently operating. 

Our charity partners include Rodniychok, an orphanage for  
disabled children, the Neuropsychiatric Orphanage, the Centre for 
Children with Special Needs № 16 in St. Petersburg and the Social 
Rehabilitation Centre for Disabled Children in the Central district  
of St. Petersburg, amongst many others.

We continue to work closely with major charities such as the  
Red Cross, Caritas (a Catholic charity offering social and medical 
support and rehabilitation programmes and assistance for young 
people in need, the homeless, the addicted and the unemployed)  
and RETOHope, a Moscow-based association.

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Financial Overview

Our 2013 financial results can be summarised as follows:

 – Total revenue grew to RUB 139.5 billion
 – Gross margin increased by 0.4% to 23.9%
 – Net profit reached RUB 5.0 billion

Revenue
Revenue for the year ended 31 December 2013 increased by 18.9% year-on-year to RUB 139,460.4 million, compared to RUB 117,333.2 million 
in 2012. The increase was driven by higher levels of selling space and like-for-like revenue growth .

Like-for-like (LFL) revenue grew by 8.0% y-o-y and was driven by a 7.5% increase in the LFL basket. In addition, the LFL number of transactions 
increased by 0.5% y-o-y in 2013, demonstrating growth through the majority of the year. Both LFL basket growth and the increase in the 
number of transactions were supported by very successful promotional campaigns during 2013.

Selling space increased by 14.3% after eight hypermarkets and three supermarkets were opened.

Cost of goods sold and gross profit
The cost of goods sold increased by 18.3% y-o-y in 2013 to RUB 106,124.4 million. This was largely caused by higher volumes of trading stock 
sales as a result of new store openings and expansion in LFL revenue.

 17.4

The Group’s general, selling and administrative expenses grew by 22.5% y-o-y to RUB 24,940.8 million in 2013, mainly due to O’KEY’s expanded 
operations and increased personnel, operating leases and utilities costs. As a percentage of revenue, the Group’s general, selling and 
administrative expenses increased by 0.5 p. p. to 17.9% in 2013. 

Personnel costs
Personnel costs grew by 23.9% y-o-y to RUB 12,686.8 million in 2013. This was mainly a result of an approximately 12.0% increase in average 
headcount and by a 7.0% indexation of salaries that took place in July 2013. A further 2% increase came from recruiting, training and travel 
expenses that starting 2013 are reclassified into personnel expenses from other costs.

Operating leases
Operating leases increased to RUB 3,081.7 million in 2013, a 34.1% increase from RUB 2,298.0 million in 2012. The main catalyst for this 
increase was the seven rented stores, or 21% of rented space, which were added in 2012 and had their first full operational year in 2013. The 
second major element of this growth is related to the expenses of nine rented stores opened during 2013, which account for 20% of additional 
rented space. Operating leases for stores opened prior to 2012 increased by around 10%, which was driven by growing sales and the 
weakening of the Rouble exchange rate.

Communications and utilities
Costs relating to communications and utilities increased by 28.4% y-o-y in 2013 to RUB 2,326.4 million, mostly as a result of adding new stores 
and increased tariffs. Revision of utility tariffs in 2013 led to a 10% increase in this expense.

Other operating income and expenses
Net other operating income and expenses resulted in a RUB 519.0 million loss for the year ended 31 December 2013. The largest items within 
this loss are expenses related to an accident in one of our stores, provision for the write-off of receivables and impairment of non-current assets. 
In 2013, the Company had other operating expenses of RUB 231.6 million and a revaluation loss of RUB 92.5 million, which was associated with 
the accident at one of its stores. Large part of provision for the write-off of receivables relates to RUB 100.0 million of advance payment as part 
of a construction contract at one of O’KEY’s stores where a subcontractor started an insolvency process. Impairment of non-current assets 
amounts to RUB 164.7 million and mostly relates to a legal dispute around land lease rights that the Company had previously acquired and also 
to the closure of one of its supermarkets in Volgograd. All the expenses described above are non-recurring and are not expected to have any 
further impact on future periods. 

Operating profit
O’KEY reported a 7.5% increase in operating profit to RUB 7,876.2 million in 2013 from RUB 7,326.2 million in 2012. 

Finance costs
Finance costs increased by 10.1% y-o-y to RUB 1,139.8 million for the full year ended 31 December 2013, mainly due to the Group’s higher 
average loan portfolio. O’KEY’s weighted average interest rate for 2013 decreased to 8.9% in 2013 from 9.4% in 2012 driven by improving 
market conditions.

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Financial Overview (continued)

Profit before income tax
Profit before income tax increased by 5.9% y-o-y to RUB 6,851.7 million in 2013, with the improvement of operating profit being partially offset 
by growing finance costs.

Total income tax expense grew by 4.8% y-o-y to RUB 1,875.3 million in 2013, primarily due to increased profit before income tax. 

Profit for the year
As at 31 December 2013, net profit rose by 6.4% y-o-y to RUB 4,976.4 million with a net profit margin of 3.6%.

Cash flows from operating activities 
Net cash from operating activities decreased to RUB 7,908.5 million in 2013, due to a lower contribution from working capital. Cash from 
operating activities before changes in working capital increased in line with operating profit growth. 

Contribution from working capital amounted to RUB 388.1 million in 2013, a decrease of RUB 1,974.6 million compared to 2012. This was 
primarily due to growing trade and other receivables, which have offset the increase in trade payables. Key elements of growth in trade and 
other receivables are the increases in VAT receivable and bonuses receivable from suppliers.

Cash flows from investing activities 
Net cash used in investing activities increased to RUB 10,534.1 million in 2013 and was mainly used to purchase property, plant and equipment 
required for fitting out new stores that were opened during 2013 and constructing future stores. In 2013 additions to construction in progress 
increased four times compared to 2012 and amounted to RUB 4,172.9 million.

Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash from financing activities generated a cash inflow of RUB 1,083.5 million. During 2013, the Group raised additional financing in the form 
of bonds and long-term loans to optimise the structure and costs of its credit portfolio.

Working capital
O’KEY’s primary sources of liquidity are cash derived from operating activities and debt financing. As of 31 December 2013, the Group’s 
working capital, defined as current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments) less current liabilities (excluding 
short-term loans), was a negative RUB 9,606.4 million. Working capital figures in the food retail industry are usually negative, and the Group 
intends to maintain a negative working capital position.

O’KEY considers the net debt/EBITDA ratio as the principal means for evaluating the impact of the total size of the Group’s borrowings on its 
operations. As at 31 December 2013, O’KEY’s net debt/EBITDA ratio was 1.2x.

In the period under review, and as of the date of this report, while the Company was not involved in any material research and development

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Risk Management

Risk management plays an integral part in how we plan and execute our business strategies. Our risk management process aims to enable  
us to pursue our strategy of sustainable growth while ensuring risks to the business are minimised and managed at an appropriate level.  
It also provides assurance to our shareholders, employees, customers and suppliers. 

Risk management at O’KEY follows a comprehensive and management-oriented approach. This approach aims to identify, evaluate  
and respond to those risks and opportunities that could materially affect the achievement of our business objectives as early as possible.  
The Group maintains a Group risk register which sets out the key strategic, operational, financial and compliance risks faced by the  
Group. Risks are identified, analysed and rated in a consistent manner. For every risk, we develop, initiate and monitor the appropriate  
response measures. Our operational directors review and consider the Group risk register once a year within the framework of the Risk 
Committee meeting. 

Below we describe the key risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial and operational performance, and,  
as a result, could impact our share price and our reputation. Additional risks not known to us or those risks that we currently consider immaterial 
may also impair our business operations. 

We do not expect to incur any risks that may jeopardise the continuity of our business.

Economic outlook

Regulatory risk

Our business is affected by uncertainties associated with 
changing economic conditions, particularly in the current 
environment of global economic instability. Therefore we 
may face reduced customer demand as the income and 
purchasing power of our customers decreases. 

We closely monitor the changes in the macroeconomic 
environment, income levels, consumer confidence index 
and other indicators. Therefore, if significant unfavourable 
developments occur, we are ready to take corrective steps 
and adjust our business model.

The retail sector in Russia is highly competitive. We face 
strong competition from other retailers (Russian and 
international), some of which are larger and have greater 
resources. Retail chains compete mainly for store 
locations, product assortment, price, service and store 
conditions. Some competitors might be more effective and 
faster in capturing certain market opportunities, which in 
turn may negatively impact our market share and our ability 
to achieve our performance and expansion targets. 

We maintain and further develop our key differentiators  
that create loyalty and uniqueness to our offering.  
We constantly monitor our customers’ perception  
of O’KEY and our main competitors to ensure we can 
respond appropriately. Our pricing policy, based on  
the price matching concept, is there to guarantee the 
competitiveness of core assortment. 

Political developments may adversely impact the 
macroeconomic environment and the market in which our 
company operates. Although political stability in Russia has 
improved, Russia is still a state whose political, economic 
and financial systems are rapidly developing and changing.

Although these risks are outside the control of the 
Company, O’KEY monitors political developments closely 
and maintains strong relationships with various national 
industry bodies. 

Our operations are subject to various government 
regulations and industry specific legislation with respect to 
quality, packaging, health and safety, labeling, distribution 
and other standards. Some regulations are still being 
developed in Russia. Current and future government 
regulations or changes thereto may require us to change 
the way we run our operations and could result in cost 
increases. Failure to comply with regulations can also lead 
to reputational damage.

We aim to ensure compliance with all applicable 
regulations by monitoring regulatory developments and 
changes, and following up and responding to changes  
in regulations and standards in a timely manner. 

We participate in the regulatory development of Russian 
retail through The Retail Companies Association (ACORT). 

Monitoring results in a timely update of relevant internal 
policies/bylaws and, consequently, the Company’s 
business processes.

Operational Risks

Name of Risk

Definition and Potential Impact

Mitigating Actions 

Changing customer  
expectations 

We strive to provide our customers with a wide range of goods 
and services, at competitive prices. However, we recognise that 
our customers’ shopping habits and expectations are influenced 
by the economic environment and will change over time. 

Employee recruitment  
and retention 

Competition for highly qualified management and store personnel 
remains intense in Russia. To meet our expansion plans we need 
highly skilled employees. Our future success depends in part  
on our continued ability to hire, and retain new employees. We 
understand that any inability to attract and retain highly qualified 
employees and key personnel in the future could have a material 
adverse effect on our business. 

Supply chain risk

Development of IT platform

Managing store opening  
process

IT security threats

Our financial performance depends in part on reliable and 
effective supply chain management. We rely on third parties  
to supply us with merchandise and services. The third parties  
that supply us with merchandise and services also have other 
customers and may not have sufficient capacity to meet all of  
their customers’ needs, including ours, during periods of excess 
demand. Shortages and delays could materially harm our 
business. Unanticipated increases in prices could also adversely 
affect our performance. Furthermore, we may be exposed to risk 
of delays and interruptions to our supply chain as a consequence 
of natural disasters, in case we are unable to identify alternative 
sources of supply in a timely manner.

Execution of our strategic targets requires adaptation of current  
IT infrastructure to the changing business needs. As the business 
grows the complexity of processes supporting it and diversity  
of tasks around such growth are increasing. Delayed or 
inappropriate decisions on development of the infrastructure  
can lead to failures in meeting Company goals and impede 
attainment of longer-term goals.

The achievement of our expansion strategy depends upon our 
ability to locate and acquire locations for future stores, manage 
counterparties involved in the construction process and obtain all 
necessary permits. There are several factors which may affect our 
ability to open new stores: 

 – Availability of locations that meet our investment criteria;

 – Ability of subcontractors to deliver results in a timely manner;

 – Risks associated with developers’ ability to execute projects; 

 – Regulatory system and permitting process run by local 

administrations; and

 –

Local community action opposed to the location of specific 
stores at specific sites.

These factors alone or in combination may negatively impact our 
store opening process and result in significant opening delays.

We are observing an increase in IT security threats and higher 
levels of professionalism in computer crime. Our systems and 
solutions, as well as those of our counterparties remain potentially 
vulnerable to attacks. Depending on their nature and scope,  
such attacks could potentially lead to the leakage of confidential 
information, improper use of our systems, manipulation and 
destruction of data, sales downtimes and supply shortages, 
which in turn could adversely affect our reputation, competitiveness, 
and business, financial and operational performance. 

We are constantly assessing and reviewing our 
business processes to ensure that we follow the 
evolving customer expectations.

To maximise the efficiency and relevance of such 
assessments, we monitor internal and external 
reports on retail market development and changes 
in O’KEY positioning.

We are developing IT solutions, particularly a Client 
Relationship Management (CRM) system, that will 
enable us to understand better and react quicker  
to changes in consumer behaviour.

To improve motivation we have developed a system 
of Performance Appraisal that is conducted on a 
regular basis and rewards employees based on their 
individual results.

We also promote internal opportunities for career 
development via trainings and special programs. 
Additionally, to facilitate adaptation of new employees, 
we organise introductory courses and coaching  
in stores.

To minimise the impact of potential disruptions in 
deliveries, we form a short list of suppliers for every 
product in every city. This ensures that if one 
supplier is unable to fulfill an order, an alternative 
supplier can provide it.

We also have systematised standards and 
requirements for warehouse operators, and conduct 
regular checks for compliance. This allows us to 
promptly change the warehouse operator in the 
case of service quality deterioration.

We are putting plans in place to enhance our 
existing systems and are considering further 
development of our IT platform to ensure that  
we are well supported for the future growth.

We aim to maintain a large portfolio of approved  
and secured projects for future development  
to cover more than two years of expansion. 

We also conduct regular performance reviews for 
our subcontractors to ensure sufficient control over 
construction process.

Finally, we maintain active and constructive dialogue 
with local authorities in accordance with the law  
to resolve emerging issues.

We employ a number of measures, including 
employee training, comprehensive monitoring of our 
networks and systems, and maintenance of backup 
and protective systems such as firewalls and virus 
scanners in attempt to reduce the threats to our  
IT security.

O’KEY Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Financial Risks

Name of Risk

Definition and Potential Impact

Mitigating Actions 

Providing sufficient level  
of financing

Tax regulations 

Recent changes in the macroeconomic situation might 
result in a liquidity squeeze and tightening of lending 
policies by Russian banks. Given the intensive expansion 
program in the coming periods, issues with availability of 
external financing or significant changes in its cost can 
negatively impact our Company’s ability to execute its 
expansion program.

Russian tax law has complex tax rules which may be 
interpreted in different ways and tax rules are subject  
to frequent changes. Examinations by tax authorities  
and changes in tax regulations could adversely affect  
our business, and financial and operational performance. 
Changes in tax law could result in higher tax expense  
and payments. Furthermore, legislative changes could 
materially impact tax receivables and liabilities as well  
as deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities.

We maintain available lines of credit to close potential 
liquidity gaps.

We diversify and enlarge the list of partnering banks to 
increase our control over the availability and cost of 
financing. We have issued a bond prospectus that allows 
us to draw up to 25 billion Roubles in bonds, subject to 
market conditions. Our securities are listed on the London 
Stock Exchange that allows us to utilise secondary 
placement of shares as an alternative way of financing.

Our tax and legal specialists review compliance with 
applicable tax regulations, current interpretations issued by 
the authorities and judicial precedents resulting from tax 
disputes. This work is conducted on a regular basis and in 
a consistent manner and ensures we are aware of any 
changes that we may need to enforce.

Changes in working capital

Inability to control and manage elements of the working 
capital can result in negative changes for the operating 
cash flow and lead to liquidity gaps and excessive reliance 
on external financing.

We exercise constant control over the working capital 
which is detailed in our monetary policy. The aim of this 
policy is to minimise prepayment balances and control  
of overdue receivables.

We are also taking steps to improve stock management 
efficiency by establishing and monitoring KPIs and 
organising trainings for store employees.

Corporate Governance

O’KEY Group S.A.’s shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange in the form of Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs). We recognise our 
obligation to our shareholders to adopt appropriate standards of governance and control both at Board level and within our management 
teams. 

We have adopted the following governance structure: 
 – The Company aims to appoint individuals with relevant skills and experience to our Board of Directors who occupy key positions and 

participate fully in the most senior level of management in the Company (see page 28 for further information on the members of our Board  
of Directors). 

 – The Board is responsible for taking key decisions relating to Company strategy and strategic direction. 
 – The Board exercises oversight of the Company’s internal control and risk management procedures. 
 – The Company has in place a system of Board committees, which ensures due consideration of key decisions by experienced individuals  
and provides an appropriate system of checks and balances, including in the areas of remuneration and incentives (further information on 
the committees, their functions and their membership can be found on pages 31 and 32.

Composition of the Board of Directors 
The General Meeting of Shareholders appoints Board members by a simple majority of votes cast, for a period not exceeding six years or until 
their successors are elected. As at 31 December 2013, the Board of Directors consisted of five members, including two Independent Directors. 

During the year, we made a number of changes to the composition of our Board to reflect the Company’s development. In October we 
appointed Tony Maher, an experienced executive with almost 30 years of experience in the international food and beverage sector, to Chairman 
of the Board of Directors. Heigo Kera, our previous Chairman, became an Independent Director and Mykola Buinyckyi stood down from the 
Board of Directors in order to maintain the current level of Board membership. 

After the year end on 29 January 2014, O’KEY announced its decision to appoint Tony Maher to succeed Patrick Longuet as Chief Executive 
Officer in addition to his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors and he took up this position on 21 February 2014. At this point he was no 
longer considered independent.

Role of the Board
Our Board of Directors is responsible for the Company’s overall strategic development, ensuring that the strategy leaves O’KEY well positioned 
to take maximum advantage of a developing market and sector and ultimately for ensuring that O’KEY achieves long-term growth for its 
shareholders. The Board generally holds two meetings per year, during which the Board reviews the Company’s financial reporting, the 
Company’s strategic performance and proposed new initiatives and monitors the Company’s internal control and risk management procedures. 
The Board held two scheduled Board meetings during 2013, with attendance of 80% at each meeting. 

Board committees
There are two committees of the Board, the Audit committee and the Remuneration committee. The Board’s committees conduct an initial 
review and discussion of the issues for which they are responsible, before making recommendations to the full Board.

makes recommendations regarding the appointment, compensation, retention and supervision of the external auditors, and monitors their 
independence. The committee performs such other duties as are imposed by applicable laws and regulations of the regulated market or 
markets on which the Company’s shares or global depositary receipts may be listed, as well as any other duties entrusted to it by the Board

Report on the consolidated financial statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of O’KEY GROUP S.A., which comprise the consolidated statement

Responsibility of the Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in 
accordance with International Standards on Auditing as adopted for Luxembourg by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier. 
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. 
The procedures selected depend on the judgement of the Réviseur d’Entreprises agréé, including the assessment of the risks of material 
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the Réviseur 
d’Entreprises agréé considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements  
in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the 
effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the 
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated 
financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of O’KEY GROUP S.A. as of 
December 31, 2013, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with 
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
The consolidated Directors’ report, including the corporate governance statement, which is the responsibility of the Board of Directors,  
is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and includes the information required by the law with respect to the Corporate 
Governance Statement.

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
for the year ended 31 December 2013

1  Reporting entity
(a) Organisation and operations
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted 
by the European Union for the year ended 31 December 2013 for O’Key Group S.A. and its subsidiaries (together referred to as  
the “Group”).

The Company was incorporated and is domiciled in Luxembourg. The Company was set up in accordance with Luxembourg regulations.  
The main part of the Group is located and conducts its business in the Russian Federation.

The major shareholders of the Group are three individuals, Mr. Korzhev, Mr. Troitsky and Mr. Volchek (“the shareholder group”). They also have  
a number of other business interests outside of the Group.

As at 31 December 2013 the Company’s shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange in the form of Global Depositary Receipts (GDRs).

Related party transactions are detailed in note 31.

The Company’s registered address is: Luxembourg 23, rue Beaumont, L-1219 Luxembourg.

The Group’s principal business activity is operation of retail chain in Russia under brand name “O’KEY”. At 31 December 2013 the Group 
operated 94 stores (31 December 2012: 83 stores) in major Russian cities, including but not limited to: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Murmansk, 
Nizhniy Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Lipetsk, Volgograd, Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Ufa, Astrakhan and Surgut.

(b) Business environment
The Group’s operations are primarily located in the Russian Federation. Consequently, the Group is exposed to the economic and financial 
markets of the Russian Federation which display characteristics of an emerging market. The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue 
development, but are subject to varying interpretations and frequent changes which together with other legal and fiscal impediments contribute 
to the challenges faced by entities operating in the Russian Federation. The consolidated financial statements reflect management’s 
assessment of the impact of the Russian business environment on the operations and the financial position of the Group. The future business 
environment may differ from management’s assessment.

2  Basis of accounting
(a) Statement of compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted 
by the European Union and were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 24 March 2014.

3  Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment 
in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Russian Roubles. All financial 
information presented in RUB has been rounded to the nearest thousand, except when otherwise indicated.

The results and financial position of the Group entities, which functional currencies are different from Russian Roubles, are translated into the 
presentation currency as follows:

 – assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate of the year end;
 –  profit and loss items for each statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates; and 
 – all resulting exchange differences are recognised as translation reserve in equity.

At 31 December 2013 the principal rate of exchange used for translating foreign currency balances were USD 1 = RUB 32.7292; 
EUR 1 = RUB 44.9699 (2012: USD 1 = RUB 30.3727; EUR 1 = RUB 40.2286).

4  Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and 
assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.  
Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period  
in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Judgments that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements and estimates that can 
cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include: 

Tax legislation. The Group is subject to income taxes in several jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision  
for income taxes. The major part of the tax burden refers to Russian tax, currency and customs legislation, which is subject to varying 
interpretations. Refer to note 30. 

42

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
for the year ended 31 December 2013

4  Use of estimates and judgments continued
Revenue recognition. The Group has recognised revenue amounting to RUB 137,639 million for sales of goods during 2013 (2012: 
RUB 115,903 million). According to the Group’s policy customers have the right to return the goods if they are dissatisfied. The Group believes 
that, based on past experience with similar sales, the dissatisfaction rate will not exceed 0.1%, which is considered immaterial for recognition  
of a corresponding provision.

Determination of net realisable value of inventory. The Group performs analysis of stock for write-off as at each reporting date and writes down 
inventories to their net realisable value when necessary. For details of approach used for determination of net realisable value refer to note 20.

5  Determination of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets 
and liabilities. 

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised 
into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

 – Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 –  Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices)  

or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 – Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair 
value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the 
entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has 
occurred.

Fair values have been determined for measurement and for disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further 
information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability.

(a) Investment property
An external, independent valuation company, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location 
and category of property being valued, values the Group’s investment property every year. The fair values are based on market values, being 
the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an 
arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably and willingly.

In the absence of current prices in an active market, the valuations are prepared by considering the aggregate of the estimated cash flows 
expected to be received from renting out the property. A yield that reflects the specific risks inherent in the net cash flows then is applied to  
the net annual cash flows to arrive at the property valuation.

Valuations reflect, when appropriate, the type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be  
in occupation after letting vacant accommodation and the allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between the Group and 
the lessee.

(b) Non-derivative financial assets
The fair value of trade and other receivables is estimated as the present value of future cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest  
at the reporting date. This fair value is determined for disclosure purposes.

(c) Derivatives
The fair value of interest rate and foreign exchange swaps is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and 
maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date.

Fair values reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Group entity and 
counterparty when appropriate.

(d) Non-derivative financial liabilities
Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, 
discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date. For finance leases the market rate of interest is determined by reference to similar 
lease agreements.

6  Operating segments
The Group is engaged in management of retail stores located in Russia and has identified retail operations as a single reportable segment. 
Although the Group is not exposed to concentration of sales to individual customers, all the Group’s sales are in the Russian Federation.  
As such, the Group is exposed to the economic development in Russia, including the development of the Russian retail industry. The Group  
has no significant non-current assets outside the Russian Federation.

43

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
for the year ended 31 December 2013

6  Operating segments continued
The Group identified its operating segments in accordance with the criteria set in IFRS 8 Operating Segments and based on the way the 
operations of the Group are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker to analyse performance and allocate resources within 
the Group.

The Group’s chief operating decision-maker has been determined as the CEO.

The Group operating segments represent individual retail stores. Due to similar economic characteristics (refer below) they were aggregated  
in one reportable segment.

Within the reportable segment all business components demonstrate similar characteristics:

 – the products and customers;
 – the business processes are integrated and uniform: the Group manages its operations centrally. Purchasing, logistics, finance, HR and IT 

functions are centralised; and

 – the Group’s activities are mainly limited to Russia which has a uniform regulatory environment.

The CEO assesses the performance of the operating segment based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) 
adjusted for one-off items. EBITDA is non-GAAP measure. Other information provided to the CEO is measured in a manner consistent with that 
in the consolidated financial statements.

The accounting policies used for the segment are the same as accounting policies applied for the consolidated financial statements as 
described in note 35.

The segment information for the year ended 31 December 2013 is as follows:

31 December 2013 (2012: loss RUB 227,953 thousand).

During 2013 the Group has capitalised interests in the value of property, plant and equipment. The amount of capitalised interest comprised 
RUB 443,302 thousand (2012: RUB 229,652 thousand).

In 2013 capitalisation rate of 7.98% was used to determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation (2012: 6.97%).

13 Foreign exchange gain

in USD was hedged and a net foreign exchange gain was recognized in profit and loss amounting to RUB 69,282 thousand for the year ended 
31 December 2013 (2012: gain RUB 165,683 thousand). 

The Group’s risk management policy is to convert part of its USD-denominated debt into RUB-denominated debt. As at 31 December 2013,  
the share of USD-denominated borrowings in Group’s debt was not significant.

(b) Measurement of fair value 
The carrying amount of investment property is the fair value of the property as determined by registered independent appraisers having an 
appropriate recognised professional qualification and recent experience in the location and type of the property being valued.

The fair value measurement for investment property has been categorised as a Level 3 fair value based on the inputs to the valuation technique 
used (see note 5).

The appraisers used income approach for determining the fair value. An estimate was made of annual net operating income for five years  
which is mainly based on annual net rent rate of RUB 3,900 per square metres (2012: RUB 4,600) and expected occupancy of 92% (2012: 93%). 
The annual net operating income was assumed to be constant from year six to perpetuity. Discount rate of 16.3 % (2012: 17.8%) was applied  
to discount future cash flows.

Rental income from investment property amounted to RUB 90,835 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: RUB 108,741 thousand).

Direct operating expenses arising from investment property that generated rental income amounted to RUB 53,054 thousand for the year 
ended 31 December 2013 (2012: RUB 83,363 thousand). 

There were no direct operating expenses arising from investment property that did not generate rental income for the year ended 
31 December 2013 (2012: Nil).

(b) Unrecognised deferred tax liability
As at 31 December 2013 a temporary difference of RUB 21,104,158 thousand (2012: RUB 16,851,838 thousand) relating to investments  
in subsidiaries has not been recognised as the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the difference, and reversal is not expected  
in the foreseeable future. If the temporary difference were reversed in form of distributions remitted to the Company, then an enacted tax rate  
of 10-15% would apply.

Due to write-off and discount given for obsolete and slow moving goods for resale the Group tested the related stock for write-off and also 
wrote down the related inventories to their net realisable value, which resulted in decrease of carrying value of stock by RUB 219,969 thousand 
as at 31 December 2013 (2012: RUB 257,090 thousand). The write down to net realisable value was determined applying the percentages of 
discount on sales and write-offs of slow moving goods to the appropriate ageing of the goods. The percentages of discount were based on  
the best management estimate following the experience of the discount sales.

The write-down is included in cost of goods sold.

reserve (2012: Nil).

In February 2013 the Group paid interim dividends to shareholders in amount of RUB 1,538,036 thousand. Interim dividends paid were 
recognised as distribution to shareholders in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.

Dividends per share recognised as distribution to shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2013 amounted to 5.7 RUB (2012: RUB 3.1).

In June 2013 shareholders of the Company approved annual dividends for the year ended 31 December 2012. The amount of annual dividends 
for 2012 was paid by the Group to shareholders as interim dividends in 2012 in the amount of RUB 833,514 thousand.

There were no movements in additional paid-in capital during the year ended 31 December 2013.

24 Earnings per share
The calculation of basic earnings per share at 31 December 2013 was based on the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of

The Group’s exposure to currency and liquidity risk related to trade and other payables is disclosed in note 27.

27 Financial instruments and risk management
(a) Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

 – credit risk;
 – liquidity risk; and
 – market risk.

This note presents information about the Group’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Group’s objectives, policies and processes for 
measuring and managing risk, and the Group’s management of capital. Further quantitative disclosures are included throughout these 
consolidated financial statements.

Risk management framework
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.

The Group’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyse the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and 
controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions 
and the Group’s activities. The Group, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and 
constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Group’s Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group’s risk management policies and procedures 
and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Group’s Audit Committee is 
assisted in its oversight role by internal audit. Internal audit undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and 
procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, 
and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investments.

(i)  Exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting 
date was:

4,535,693

4,126,986

5,059,182

Due to the fact that the Group’s principal activities are located in Russian Federation the credit risk is mainly associated with domestic market. 
The credit risks associated with foreign counterparties are considered to be remote, as there are only few foreign counterparties and they were 
properly assessed for creditability.

for the year ended 31 December 2013

27 Financial instruments and risk management continued
(ii) Trade and other receivables
The Group has no considerable balance of trade receivables because the majority of the customers are retail consumers, who are not provided 
with any credit. Therefore the Group’s trade receivables primarily include receivables from tenants and receivables connected to provision of 
advertising services. Usually the Group provides advertising services to suppliers of goods sold in O’KEY stores. Thus, the credit risk in part  
of trade receivables is mostly managed through procedures for selection of suppliers and tenants. 

The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of incurred losses in respect of trade and other receivables.  
The main component of this allowance is a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures.

Impairment losses 
The aging of trade and other receivables at the reporting date was:

(22,749)

The management has performed a thorough analysis of the recoverability of the receivables and impaired the balances outstanding for 
more than one year. Based on past experience the management believes that normally the balances outstanding less than 360 days should  
not be impaired.

(iii) Cash and cash equivalents
The Group held cash and cash equivalents of RUB 3,006,730 thousand at 31 December 2013 (2012: RUB 4,535,693 thousand), which represents 
its maximum credit exposure on these assets. Cash and cash equivalents are mainly held with banks which are rated AAA based on Standard 
and Poor’s national rating for Russian Federation and AAA based on Fitch Rating national rating for Russian Federation.

(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by 
delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have 
sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking 
damage to the Group’s reputation.

Liquidity risk management is a responsibility of the Treasury under the supervision of the Group’s Financial Director. The Group’s liquidity risk 
management objectives are as follows:

 – Maintaining financial independence: a share of one creditor in debt portfolio should not exceed 30%;
 – Maintaining financial stability: the ratio DEBT/EBITDA should not exceed 2.5;
 – Monitoring of compliance with debt covenants; and
 – Planning timely preparation of operating, investing and financing cash-flow forecasts on rolling basis.

(d) Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s 
income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk 
exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

The Group buys derivatives in order to manage market risk. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set in Group’s policy  
on hedging market risk. The Group applies hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.

(i) Currency risk
The Group holds its business in Russian Federation and mainly collects receivables nominated in Russian Roubles. However financial assets 
and liabilities of the Group are also denominated in other currencies, primarily US Dollar.

Thus the Group is exposed to currency risk, which may materially influence the financial position and financial results of the Group through  
the change in carrying value of financial assets and liabilities and amounts on foreign exchange rate gains or losses. The Group ensures that  
its exposure is kept to acceptable level by keeping proportion of financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies to total financial liabilities  
at acceptable level. From time to time the Group converts assets and liabilities from one currency to another. The Group regularly considers 
necessity of using derivatives to hedge its exposure to currency risk. During 2013 the Group settled USD-denominated loan which was hedged 
with a currency swap. Accordingly, the foreign currency swap was closed.

Sensitivity analysis
A 10% strengthening of the RUB against USD at 31 December 2013 would have increased equity by RUB 156,746 thousand (2012: 
RUB 592,405 thousand) and profit or loss by RUB 156,746 thousand (2012: RUB 196,915 thousand). This analysis is based on foreign currency 
exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The analysis assumes that all 
other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2012.

A weakening of the RUB against USD at 31 December would have had the equal but opposite effect on equity and profit and loss, on the basis 
that all other variables remain constant.

(ii) Interest rate risk
The Group has material exposure to interest rate risk. As at 31 December 2013, 30% of the Group’s interest bearing financial liabilities were 
subject to re-pricing within six months after the reporting date (2012: 66%). 

The Group uses swaps to hedge its exposure to variability of interest rates. As at 31 December 2013 the Group had an interest swap  
agreement with a bank. Under this agreement the Group swaps Mosprime rate for fixed rate. At inception, the swap had a maturity of three 
years. As at 31 December 2013 fair value of swap was Nil.

(e) Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Group may enter into sales and purchase agreements with the same counterparty in the normal course of business. The related amount 
receivable and payable do not always meet the criteria for offsetting in the statement of financial position. This is because the Group may not 
have any currently legally enforceable right to offset recognised amounts, because the right to offset may be enforceable only on the occurrence 
of future events. In particular, in accordance with the Russian civil law an obligation can be settled by offsetting against a similar claim if it is due, 
has no maturity or is payable on demand.

The following table sets out the carrying amounts of recognised financial instruments that are subject to the above agreements.

described above.

Amounts offset in accordance with IAS 32 offsetting criteria comprise mainly trade payables for goods and bonuses receivable from suppliers.

(f) Fair values
Basis for determination of fair value of financial assets and liabilities is disclosed in note 5. Fair value of Group’s financial assets and liabilities, 
including loans and borrowings, approximates their carrying amounts.

(g) Fair value hierarchy
Group’s derivative financial assets and liabilities comprise interest rate swap which is carried at fair value. Fair value of swap was determined 
based on observable market data (Level 2 fair value), including forward interest rates. The Group has no financial assets and liabilities measured 
at fair value based on unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value). Group’s bonds are listed on MICEX. Fair value of bonds payable was determined 
for disclosure purposes based on active market quotations (Level 1 fair value).

(h) Capital management
The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future 
development of the business. Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries are subject to externally imposed capital requirements, except for 
statutory requirement in relation to minimum level of share capital and the Group follows this requirement. 

28 Operating leases
Leases as lessee
The Group has both own and leased land plots. The own land plots are included in property, plant and equipment. Leased land plots are treated 
as operating leases. In case the Group incurs costs directly attributable to acquisition of operating lease rights, these costs are capitalised  
as initial cost of land lease and are amortised over the period of the lease (49-51 years). The further information on leases is detailed below.

When the Group leases land plots under operating leases, the lessors for these leases are State authorities and third parties. The leases are 
typically run for two to three years, after which long-term operating lease contract is concluded for 49 years.

The Group also rents premises under operating leases. These leases typically run up to ten years, although some leases may be for longer 
period. Property leases can be renewed based on mutual agreement of the lessor and the Group. The Group has subleases. Fees payable by 
the Group for operating leases of stores comprise fixed payments and contingent rent which is determined as excess of 3%-5% of the revenue 
of related stores over fixed rent rate.

During the year ended 31 December 2013 RUB 3,181,720 thousand was recognised as an expense (including amortisation of initial cost of land 
lease amounting to RUB 99,991 thousand) in the profit and loss in respect of operating leases (2012: RUB 2,388,692 thousand). Contingent rent 
recognised as an expense for the year ended 31 December 2013 amounted to RUB 818,462 thousand (2012: RUB 637,255 thousand).

At 31 December, the future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases were payable as follows.

Future minimum lease payments as at 31 December 2013 include RUB 13,665,445 thousand (31 December 2012: RUB 8,475,644 thousand)  
in respect of property leases cancellable only with the permission of the lessor. Management believes that the Group is able to negotiate early 
cancellation of these leases, if necessary.

Leases as lessor
The Group leases out its investment property and some space in the buildings of hypermarkets. During the year ended 31 December 2013  
RUB 1,300,867 thousand was recognised as rental income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income  
(2012: RUB 1,013,754 thousand). All leases whether the Group is lessor are cancellable. The Group has contingent rent arrangements.

Contingent rent recognised as income amounted to RUB 38,503 thousand for the year ended 31 December 2013 (2012: RUB 28,582 thousand). 
Contingent rent is determined as excess of 3.5%-25% of the tenant’s revenue over fixed rent rate.

29 Capital commitments
The Group has capital commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounting to RUB 11,041,167 thousand  
as at 31 December 2013 (2012: RUB 5,796,762 thousand).

30 Contingencies
(a) Legal proceedings
From time to time and in the normal course of business, claims against the Group are received. On the basis of its own estimates and both 
internal and external professional advice the management is of the opinion that no material losses will be incurred in respect of claims.

(b) Taxation contingencies
The taxation system in the Russian Federation continues to evolve and is characterised by frequent changes in legislation, official 
pronouncements and court decisions, which are sometimes contradictory and subject to varying interpretation by different tax authorities. 

Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities, which have the authority to impose severe fines, penalties and interest 
charges. A tax year remains open for review by the tax authorities during the three subsequent calendar years; however, under certain 
circumstances a tax year may remain open longer. Recent events within the Russian Federation suggest that the tax authorities are taking  
a more assertive and substance-based position in their interpretation and enforcement of tax legislation.

New transfer pricing legislation enacted in the Russian Federation starting from 1 January 2012 provides for major modifications making 
local transfer pricing rules closer to OECD guidelines, but creating additional uncertainty in practical application of tax legislation in 
certain circumstances.

60

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
for the year ended 31 December 2013

30 Contingencies continued
The new transfer pricing rules introduce an obligation for the taxpayers to prepare transfer pricing documentation with respect to controlled 
transactions and prescribe new basis and mechanisms for accruing additional taxes and interest in case prices in the controlled transactions 
differ from the market level. The new transfer pricing rules eliminated the 20% price safe harbour that existed under the previous transfer pricing 
rules applicable to transactions on or prior to 31 December 2011.

The new transfer pricing rules primarily apply to cross-border transactions between related parties, as well as to certain cross-border 
transactions between independent parties, as determined under the Russian Tax Code. In addition, the rules apply to in-country transactions 
between related parties if the accumulated annual volume of the transactions between the same parties exceeds a particular threshold 
(RUB 3 billion in 2012, RUB 2 billion in 2013, and RUB 1 billion in 2014 and thereon).

Since there is no practice of applying the new transfer pricing rules by the tax authorities and courts, it is difficult to predict the effect of the new 
transfer pricing rules on these consolidated financial statements.

The Group companies entered into intragroup transactions which management believed were consistent with applicable tax law. However, 
based on the uncertainty of legislation, the tax authorities could take a different position and attempt to assess additional tax and interest.  
The potential amount of such assessment cannot be reasonably estimated based on the uncertainty of transfer pricing rules and practical 
application of the law, but could be significant. Management has not made any provision because it believes it is not probable that an outflow  
of funds relating to any such assessment will take place.

These circumstances may create tax risks in the Russian Federation that are substantially more significant than in other countries. 
Management believes that it has provided adequately for tax liabilities based on its interpretations of applicable Russian tax legislation, official 
pronouncements and court decisions. However, the interpretations of the relevant authorities could differ and the effect on these consolidated 
financial statements, if the authorities were successful in enforcing their interpretations, could be significant.

33 Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis except for the following:

 – Derivative financial instruments are stated at fair value;
 – Liabilities incurred in cash-settled share-based payment transactions are remeasured at fair value; and
 – Investment property is remeasured at fair value.

34 Changes in accounting policies
Except for the changes below, the Group has consistently applied the accounting policies set out in note 35 to all periods presented in these 
consolidated financial statements.

The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other 
standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2013:

a. Disclosures—Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Amendments to IFRS 7)
b. Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income (Amendments to IAS 1)
c. IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The nature and effects of the changes are explained below.

(a) Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
As a result of the amendments to IFRS 7, the Group has expanded its disclosures about the offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities 
(see note 27(e)).

(b) Presentation of items of other comprehensive income
As a result of the amendments to IAS 1, the Group has modified the presentation of items of other comprehensive income in its statement  
of other comprehensive income, to present separately items that would be reclassified to profit or loss from those that would never be. 
Comparative information has been re-presented accordingly.

(c) Fair value measurement
IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring fair value and making disclosures about fair value measurements when such 
measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. It unifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset 
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It replaces and expands the 
disclosure requirements about fair value measurements in other IFRSs, including IFRS 7.

The change had no significant impact on the measurements of the Group’s assets and liabilities and disclosures.

35 Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements,  
and have been applied consistently by Group entities, except as explained in note 34, which addresses changes in accounting policies.

(a) Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements 
from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when 
necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. 

(ii) Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intragroup balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing 
the consolidated financial statements.

(b) Foreign currency
(i) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the 
transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency  
at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional 
currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign 
currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. 

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency 
at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items in a foreign currency that are measured based on 
historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. 

Foreign currency differences arising in retranslation are recognised in profit or loss.

63

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
for the year ended 31 December 2013

35 Significant accounting policies continued
(ii) Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to RUB at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses  
of foreign operations are translated to RUB at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognised directly in other comprehensive income. Since 1 January 2005, the Group’s date of transition to 
IFRSs, such differences have been recognised in the foreign currency translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of such that 
control or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as 
part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Group disposes of only part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while 
retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to non-controlling interests. When the Group disposes of only 
part of its investment in joint venture that includes a foreign operation while retaining joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative 
amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from a monetary item received from or payable to a foreign operation, the settlement of which is 
neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised  
in other comprehensive income, and are presented within equity in the foreign currency translation reserve.

(c) Financial instruments
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings and trade and 
other payables.

(i) Non-derivative financial assets and financial liabilities – recognition and derecognition
The Group initially recognises loans and receivables and debt securities issued on the date that they are originated. All other financial assets and 
financial liabilities are recognised initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive 
the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial 
asset are transferred. Any interest in transferred financial assets that is created or retained by the Group is recognised as a separate asset 
or liability.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group 
has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(ii) Non-derivative financial assets – measurement
The Group has the following non-derivative financial assets: loans and receivables.

Loans and receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such assets are 
recognised initially at fair value plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition loans and receivables are 
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses.

Loans and receivables comprise trade and other receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits with original maturities of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are 
repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents 
for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(iii) Non-derivative financial liabilities – measurement
The Group has the following non-derivative financial liabilities: loans and borrowings, bank overdrafts and trade and other payables.

Such financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, these 
financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(iv) Derivative financial instruments
The Group holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its interest rate and foreign currency risk exposures.

On initial designation of the hedge, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items, 
including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction, together with the methods that will be used to 
assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well 
as on an ongoing basis, whether the hedging instruments are expected to be “highly effective” in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash 
flows of the respective hedged items during the period for which the hedge is designated, and whether the actual results of each hedge are 
within a range of 80-125%. For a cash flow hedge of a forecast transaction, the transaction should be highly probable to occur and should 
present an exposure to variations in cash flows that could ultimately affect reported net income.

64

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
for the year ended 31 December 2013

35 Significant accounting policies continued
Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

When a derivative is designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated 
with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the 
fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. The amount recognised 
in other comprehensive income is removed and included in profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss under 
the same line item in the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income as the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of changes in 
the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated exercised or the designation is 
revoked, then hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive 
income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity remains there until the forecast transaction affects profit or loss. If the forecast 
transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the balance in other comprehensive income is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

(d) Transactions with owners
(i) Ordinary shares/share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognised as  
a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

(ii) Distributions to owners/contributions from owners
The dividends paid to the shareholders are recognised directly in equity once the decision on the payment takes place. The transfers of assets 
to the related parties (companies under the control of the Group’s ultimate shareholders) or other benefits to such related parties are recognised 
directly in equity as distributions to the shareholders.

(e) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment, except for land, are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The cost 
of property, plant and equipment at 1 January 2005, the date of transition to IFRSs, was determined by reference to its fair value at that date.

Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of 
materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for their intended use, the costs of 
dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located and capitalised borrowing costs. Purchased software that 
is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal with the 
carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and is recognised net within “other income” in profit or loss. 

(ii) Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that  
the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount  
of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss 
as incurred.

(iii) Depreciation
Items of property, plant and equipment are depreciated from the date that they are installed and are ready for use, or in respect of internally 
constructed assets, from the date that the asset is completed and ready for use. Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual 
value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that 
asset, that component is depreciated separately.

Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and 
equipment, since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset. Leased 
assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain 
ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives of significant items of property, plant and equipment for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

 – Buildings 
 – Machinery and equipment, auxiliary facilities 
 – Motor vehicles 
 – Leasehold improvements 
 – Other fixed assets 

30 years;
2-20 years;
5-10 years;
over the term of underlying lease; and
2-10 years.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

(f) Investment property
Investment property is property held by the Group to earn rental income or for capital appreciation and which is not occupied by the Group.

Investment property, including investment property under construction, is initially recognised at cost, including transaction costs, and 
subsequently remeasured at fair value with any change therein recognised in profit or loss. If fair value of investment property under construction 
is not reliably determinable, the Group measures that investment property under construction at cost until either its fair value becomes reliably 
determinable or construction is completed (whichever is earlier).

Fair value of the Group’s investment property is determined by independent appraisers, who hold a recognised and relevant professional 
qualification and who have recent experience in valuation of property of similar location and category.

When the use of a property changes such that it is reclassified as property, plant and equipment, its fair value at the date of reclassification 
becomes its cost for subsequent accounting.

(g) Intangible assets
(i) Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group have finite useful lives and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and 
accumulated impairment losses. Other intangible assets primarily include capitalised computer software, patents and licenses. Acquired 
computer software, licenses and patents are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring them to use.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates.  
All other expenditure is recognised in the profit or loss as incurred.

(iii) Amortisation
Amortisation is based on the cost of the asset less its estimated residual value.

Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they  
are available for use since this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset. 
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

 – Lease rights  
 – Software licenses 
 – Other intangible assets 

5-10 years;
1-7 years; and
1-5 years.

Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted if appropriate.

(h) Leased assets
(i) Operating leases
Where the Group is a lessee in a lease which does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership from the lessor  
to the Group, the total lease payments, including those on expected termination, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the 
period of the lease. 

Where the Group is a lessee in a land lease, the initial cost of land lease is amortized using straight-line method over the period of lease being 
up to 51 years.

(ii) Finance leases
Leases in terms of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Upon initial 
recognition the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. 
Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset. 

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. 
The corresponding rental obligations, net of future finance charges, are shown as other payables (long-term accounts payable for amounts due 
after 12 months from reporting date). The interest cost is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period using the effective interest method.

(i) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted moving average 
principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs and other costs incurred in bringing 
them to their existing location and condition.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(j) Impairment 
(i) Financial assets
A financial asset not carried at fair value through profit or loss is assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any objective 
evidence that it is impaired. A financial asset is impaired if objective evidence indicates that a loss event has occurred after the initial recognition 
of the asset, and that the loss event had a negative effect on the estimated future cash flows of that asset that can be estimated reliably.

Objective evidence that financial assets are impaired can include default or delinquency by a debtor, restructuring of an amount due to the 
Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise, indications that a debtor or issuer will enter bankruptcy, observable data 
indicating that there is measurable decrease in expected cash flows from a group of financial assets.

The Group considers evidence of impairment for receivables at both a specific asset and collective level. All individually significant receivables 
are assessed for specific impairment. All individually significant receivables found not to be specifically impaired are then collectively assessed 
for any impairment that has been incurred but not yet identified. Receivables that are not individually significant are collectively assessed for 
impairment by grouping together receivables with similar risk characteristics.

In assessing collective impairment the Group uses historical trends of the probability of default, timing of recoveries and the amount of loss 
incurred, adjusted for management’s judgement as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely 
to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends.

An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset measured at amortised cost is calculated as the difference between its carrying amount,  
and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. Losses are recognised in  
profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. Interest on the impaired asset continues to be recognised through the 
unwinding of the discount. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is 
reversed through profit or loss.

(ii) Non-financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than investment property, inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed  
at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable 
amount is estimated.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing 
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market 
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit. For the purpose of impairment testing, 
assets that cannot be tested individually are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing  
use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the “cash-generating unit”). 

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment 
losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated to reduce the carrying 
amount of assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro rata basis.

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer 
exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment 
loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined,  
net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(k) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
A defined contribution plan is a post-employment benefit plan under which an entity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity and will have 
no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans, including Russia’s 
state pension fund, are recognised as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by 
employees. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. 
Contributions to a defined contribution plan that are due more than 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the 
service are discounted to their present value.

(ii) Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits represent long-service bonuses. Long-term employee benefits are expensed evenly during the periods  
in which they are earned by employees.

(iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as the related service is provided.

A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term bonus if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation  
to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

67

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued
for the year ended 31 December 2013

35 Significant accounting policies continued
(iv) Cash-settled share-based payment transactions
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of cash-settled share-based payment transactions is recognised as an employee 
expense in profit and loss with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to 
payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at settlement date. Any changes of the fair value of the liability are recognised  
as personnel expenses in profit or loss.

(l) Provisions
A provision is recognised if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, 
and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the 
expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the 
liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost.

(m) Revenue
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of VAT, returns and discounts.

(i) Goods sold
Revenues from sales of goods are recognised at the point of transfer of risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, for retail trade it is 
normally at the till.

(ii) Services 
Revenue from services rendered is recognised in profit or loss when the services are rendered, by reference to stage of completion of the 
specific transaction assessed on the basis of the actual service provided as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

Rental income from investment property is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. When assets are leased 
out under an operating lease, the lease payments receivable are recognised as rental income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease 
incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.

(n) Cost of sales
Cost of sales include the purchase price of the goods sold and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to the location and condition 
ready for sale. These costs include costs of purchasing, packaging and transporting of goods to the extent that it relates to bringing the 
inventories to the location and condition ready for sale.

The Group receives various types of bonuses from suppliers of inventories, primarily in the form of volume discounts and slotting fees. These 
bonuses are recorded as reduction of cost of sales as the related inventory is sold.

Losses from inventory shortages are recognised in cost of sales.

(o) Finance income and costs
Finance income comprises interest income on issued loans and bank deposits. Interest income is recognised as it accrues in profit or loss, 
using the effective interest method.

Finance costs comprise interest expense on borrowings and unwinding of the discount on provisions. Borrowing costs that are not directly 
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis.

(p) Income tax
Income taxes have been provided in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Russian legislation, as well as Luxembourg, BVI 
and Cyprus legislation for corresponding companies of the Group. Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and 
deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity 
or in other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting 
purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial 
recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, 
and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and joint arrangements to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the 
foreseeable future. A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each 
reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the 
reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

O’Key Group S.A. Annual Report & Accounts 2013Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements continued

35 Significant accounting policies continued
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the  
laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally 
enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable 
entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be 
realised simultaneously.

In accordance with the tax legislation of the Russian Federation, tax losses and current tax assets of a company in the Group may not be set  
off against taxable profits and current tax liabilities of other Group companies.

In determining the amount of current and deferred tax the Group takes into account the impact of uncertain tax positions and whether 
additional taxes, penalties and late-payment interest may be due. The Group believes that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all  
open tax years based on its assessment of many factors, including interpretations of tax law and prior experience. This assessment relies on 
estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgments about future events. New information may become available that causes  
the Group to change its judgment regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities will impact the tax expense  
in the period that such a determination is made.

(q) Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss 
attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, 
adjusted for own shares held. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding, adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(r) Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, 
including revenues and expenses that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating segments’ operating 
results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s CEO to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its 
performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

(s) Value added tax
Input VAT is generally reclaimable against sales VAT when the right of ownership on purchased goods is transferred to the Group or when the 
services are rendered to the Group. The tax authorities permit the settlement of VAT on a net basis. VAT related to sales and purchases which 
have not been settled at the balance sheet date (VAT deferred) is recognised in the statement of financial position on a gross basis and 
disclosed separately as an asset and liability.

(t) New Standards and Interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new Standards, amendments to Standards and Interpretations are not yet effective as at 31 December 2013 and have not been 
applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Of these pronouncements, potentially the following will have an impact on the 
Group’s operations. The Group plans to adopt these pronouncements when they become effective.

 – IFRS 9 Financial Instruments is to be issued in phases and is intended ultimately to replace International Financial Reporting Standard  

IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The first phase of IFRS 9 was issued in November 2009 and relates to the 
classification and measurement of financial assets. The second phase regarding classification and measurement of financial liabilities was 
published in October 2010. The Group recognises that the new standard introduces many changes to the accounting for financial 
instruments and is likely to have a significant impact on Group’s consolidated financial statements. The impact of these changes will be 
analysed during the course of the project as further phases of the standard are issued. The Group does not intend to adopt this standard 
early as it is not yet endorsed by the European Union. 

 – Investment Entities (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27) will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. 
The amendments introduce a mandatory consolidation exception for certain qualifying investment entities. A qualifying investment entity is 
required to account for investments in controlled entities, as well as investments in associates and joint ventures, at fair value through profit 
or loss. The consolidation exception will not apply to subsidiaries that are considered an extension of the investment entity’s investing 
activities. The amendments are to be applied retrospectively unless impracticable. The Group has not yet analysed the likely impact of the 
amendments on its financial position and performance.

 – Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities specify that an entity 

currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off if that right is not contingent on a future event; and enforceable both in the normal course of 
business and in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy of the entity and all counterparties. The amendments are effective for annual 
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, and are to be applied retrospectively. The amendments are likely to increase the Group’s trade 
and other receivables from and trade and other payables to certain counterparties because it is unlikely that the Group will meet the criteria 
for offsetting. In particular, the current bankruptcy legislation in Russia does not allow offsetting if this has impact on the succession of 
settlements determined by the law. However, the impact has not yet been quantified.
