Petz Group posted a gross revenue of R$934.1 million ($181.1M/€167.9M) for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 2.3% against the same period in 2022.
From January to March, gross profits jumped 0.1% to R$363.8 million ($70.5M/€65.4M).
The adjusted net income for the first quarter fell to R$6.8 million ($1.3M/€1.2M), marking a decline of 64.1% year-on-year (YoY) from R$19.1 million ($3.7M/€3.4M) during the same period in 2023. The company attributed the trend to “slower maturation of initiatives” like selective price adjustments for increased competitiveness.
Private label earnings were a “record achievement,” accounting for 9.1% of the retailer’s total revenue in the first quarter.
