Balanced like-for-like sales dynamics across quarters—despite significantly less favorable weather conditions—together with accelerated network expansion allowed Żabka Group to deliver a very strong growth performance. According to preliminary data, in 2025 the Group increased consolidated end-customer sales by 14.2% year on year, reaching PLN 31.1 billion. Like-for-like (LfL) growth in Poland in 2025 amounted to 5.3%, consistent with the Group’s target of mid single-digit growth on average. In 2025, the Group achieved its ambitious goal of opening more than 1,300 new stores in Poland and Romania.
In Q4 2025, end-customer sales rose by 14.3% versus the same period of 2024, reaching PLN 7.9 billion. LfL sales in Poland amounted to 4.8%, compared with 4.5% in Q3 2025.
As of the end of 2025, Żabka Group’s retail network comprised 12,339 stores, including 173 locations in Romania.
Tomasz Suchański, CEO of Żabka Group, commented:
“As announced, in 2025 Żabka Group delivered on its ambitious expansion plan, accelerating development and opening 1,394 new locations in Poland and Romania. By the end of 2025, the Group’s network already comprised 12,339 stores, strengthening its strong position as the largest modern convenience ecosystem in Europe.
Despite challenges related to significantly cooler weather compared to 2024, the Group maintained a growth pace in line with its assumptions. This confirms that the format we have developed effectively addresses customers’ everyday needs, performs well under changing conditions, and provides a solid foundation for further growth.”
Growth in Q4 and Across 2025
In 2025, consolidated end-customer sales increased by 14.2% year on year, reaching PLN 31.1 billion. Growth was driven by both continued network expansion and higher like-for-like sales (LfL). For the full year 2025, LfL growth stood at 5.3%, consistent with the Group’s target of average mid single-digit growth.
Strong like-for-like performance during the period was supported by a diversified assortment and a store format precisely matched to customer needs. Despite the challenge of much cooler weather compared with 2024, flexibility and a customer-centric approach enabled Żabka Group to achieve meaningful growth in key convenience categories, confirming the resilience of its business model.
In Q4 2025 alone, end-customer sales in the Convenience Ecosystem segment (Żabka Polska stores) recorded the highest quarterly growth rate of the year, reaching 13.6% and underlining the strong momentum of the entire network. This growth was primarily driven by continued store expansion, further supported by solid LfL growth in Żabka stores, which reached 4.8%—0.3 percentage points higher than in Q3 2025.
Network Expansion in Poland and Romania
In 2025, delivering on its updated strategic target of opening more than 1,300 stores per year, Żabka Group launched 1,394 new locations, including 118 in Romania, increasing the number of points of sale to 12,339 by year-end. In Q4 alone, 267 new stores were opened.
Expected Margin Improvement in Line with Guidance
Żabka Group expects that its consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin for the full year 2025 will be in line with previously communicated expectations. Accordingly, the Company reiterates its earlier targets and anticipates a slight year-on-year improvement in margin, moving toward the upper end of the 12–13% target range.

(1) End-customer sales are defined as total sales generated by both reporting segments: the Convenience Ecosystem (covering the operations of all Żabka Polska stores and real-estate activities directly related to store operations) and New Growth Engines (covering digital businesses and operations in Romania). End-customer sales are not the same as consolidated revenue from sales; however, they are a key performance indicator reflecting the commercial strength of the Group’s business model. This metric is widely used by investors and analysts to assess the performance of companies operating in the grocery retail sector.
