Fiscal year 2025
We have a busy 2025 behind us, closing with a 25% increase in retail space, nearly 4,000 stores, and a store portfolio expanded to six new markets. During this time, we achieved over 21% sales growth in constant currencies, generating over PLN 23 billion in revenue. All of this translated into a record-breaking total in taxes and other contributions to the national budget for the 2025 fiscal year.
Last year, we worked to expand our geographic reach, strengthened the omnichannel potential of LPP Group brands, and continued the internationalization of mobile applications. We also consistently invested in our operational resources, launched a new e-commerce warehouse in Romania, and at the end of the year, signed a lease agreement for a new distribution center in that country. We also continued automation and robotization projects in our warehouse facilities.
Strong cost discipline, strong sales, and a strong financial foundation once again allowed us to generate a solid profit in 2025, which translated into a significant contribution to the Polish budget.
The table below presents detailed information on taxes and other contributions paid by LPP, which relate to the 2025 financial year.
