Commenting on the update, Chief Executive Officer, Aslan Saranga
said:
"We are pleased with our performance for the first half of 2019
amidst challenging trading conditions. Following pro-active steps
at the start of the year, we have been able to put the slow start
in Turkey behind us, posting 7.7% like-for-like growth in the
period. Our 4.7% like-for-like growth in Russia reflects the strong
comparatives due to the 2018 FIFA World Cup. We remain confident in
delivering high single digit like-for-like growth in Russia as we
moved to a simplified menu, increased investment in our digital
channels and refocused local store marketing activities as of July.
Our search for a CEO of our Russian Operations is continuing and we
are targeting an appointment by year-end.
Digital continues to drive our business forward. Online ordering
as a percentage of delivery has reached 67.5% - an increase of 8.2
percentage points from twelve months ago.
We remain on target for store openings for the full year in both
our main markets and the Board expects the full year Adjusted
EBITDA(5) for 2019 to be in line with expectations."

Notes
(1) System sales are sales generated by the Group's corporate
and franchised stores to external customers and do not represent
revenue of the Group.
(2) Like-for-like growth is a comparison of sales between two
periods that compares system sales of existing system stores. The
Group's system stores that are included in like-for-like system
sales comparisons are those the Group considers to be mature
operations. The Group considers mature stores to be those stores
that have operated for at least 52 weeks preceding the beginning of
the first month of the period used in the like-for-like comparisons
for a certain reporting period, assuming the relevant system store
has not subsequently closed or been "split" (which involves the
Group opening an additional store within the same map of an
existing store or in an overlapping area).
(3) Delivery system sales are system sales of the Group
generated through the Group's delivery distribution channel.
(4) Online system sales are system sales of the Group generated
through its online ordering channel.
(5) Adjusted EBITDA is not defined by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA
excludes income and expenses which are not part of the normal
course of business and are non-recurring items, consisting of
restructuring costs, IPO-related expenses and share based
incentives. Management uses this measurement basis to focus on core
trading activities of the business segments and to assist it in
evaluating underlying business performance
