Karelia: Review 2023
Reflecting on 2023, Mr Karelias said:
“In 2023 we were able to:
A new record in trading volume. It is with great pleasure that, after a particularly successful 2022, today we are once again talking about a record number of sales.
In an industry where the regulatory environment is perhaps the most complex in the consumer goods market, we have been able not only to maintain increasing shares in most of our markets, but also to record new increases in sales volumes, both in the Greek market and abroad. . We ended the year having exceeded 15.4 billion cigarettes in Greece and in our international markets.
Both in cigarettes and in the rolled tobacco category, we are particularly proud that our company's brands rank first among SKUs traded in Greece.
Our signs Roll – Your Own (RYO) of tobacco ended the year by setting a new record in terms of volume and sales, exceeding 1.15 million kilos. We are working to expand our presence in new markets and enrich our brand portfolio with new icons.
We were particularly pleased to see that the increase in international tourism and travel traffic has led to a new surge in the travel retail market, further contributing to the Group's strong profitability.
In the Greek cigar market, we have expanded the already successful presence of the Villiger and Dannemann brands, with which we cooperate by implementing ongoing promotional programmes. We have also launched new releases in the handcrafted cigar category, setting another record in sales volume, a fact of which we are particularly proud.
in our international markets, We have successfully coped with the initial numbness of sales resulting from the inevitable increases in factory prices due to price increases in the cost of supply of tobacco and other materials (mainly filter materials), as a result of international inflationary trends, the war in Ukraine, but also the lack of options, as in the materials sectors Our main raw materials have a small number of suppliers. However, it seems that our choice to stand by the consumer by adopting to maintain the retail prices of our products in Greece and Bulgaria, but also to move forward with the necessary adjustments, mid-year, in the North African countries has been rewarded. In the rest of the markets, especially in the European markets, any price increases were limited to the minimum number of possible signals. The result was a marginal increase in volume in our international markets of approximately 1.5% in cigarettes and 13% in tobacco.
By 2023, We enhanced our already large cash reserves by 11%, At the same time, investments worth more than 4.5 million euros were implemented.
As every year, so this year Extraordinary benefits Which is announced on this day, we all share a part of this success. As is the case every year, we channel a significant portion of this success back to society as a whole in the form of financial support to organizations that have proven and continue to make a multi-faceted contribution to our society.
