Third Quarter Results (2025 compared with 2024) Revenue increased 7.0% to ILS 399.1 million in the third quarter 2025 as compared with revenue of ILS 373.1 million in the third quarter 2024. The increase over the same period last year was largely attributable to a 5.0% increase in comparable store sales driven by an increase in average basket size, increased traffic and higher seasonal sales, combined with the opening of new branches. Revenue growth was also attributable to an increase in sales to franchisees, due to increase in direct imports versus locally sourced inventory (made possible thanks to the new logistics center).

Selling, general and administrative expenses were ILS 107.0 million in the third quarter 2025 compared to ILS 99.3 million in the third quarter 2024.
