STRATEGIC REPORT	OVERVIEW	ABOUT THIS REPORT

Overview

ABOUT THIS REPORT

X5 Group's 2022 Annual Report complies with UK and Russian Federation listing requirements, as well as the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. This report looks at our performance on a number of different aspects. It provides an analysis of our financial and operating performance, states our strategic goals and gives an overview of our ESG performance and priorities, which are discussed in greater detail in the 2022 Sustainability Report.

Report boundary and scope

This report covers the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 and looks at X5 Group's business model and strategy, market and consumer trends, operating and financial performance, environmental, social and governance (ESG) achievements, and the results of key business units.

Key business units include Pyaterochka proximity stores, Perekrestok supermarkets and Chizhik hard discounter stores, as well as Krasny Yar and Slata, two chains in which X5 acquired a 70% stake in 2022. Our key digital businesses include express delivery and Vprok.ru, which operate under the X5 Digital business unit, as well as 5Post, Mnogo Lososya and Food.ru media platform. X5 Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS financial results in this report are presented according to IFRS 16 as well as old pre-IFRS 16 standards. Significant events after the reporting date are also covered in this report.

Alternative performance measures

Alternative performance measures (APMs) that are not defined or specified under IFRS requirements are also used in this report. These APMs provide important insights into our business performance. A glossary with explanations of how each APM is calculated, why we use it and how it can be reconciled to a statutory measure is provided on pages 73-76.

Assurance

The Supervisory Board, with the support of the Audit and Risk Committee, is responsible for X5 Group's internal controls to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement and loss.

Materiality

The management of X5 Group determined the material issues to address in this report based on its understanding of stakeholder interests, the economic and competitive landscape in Russia, our business model, risks, and opportunities. Significant financial matters and material non-financial topics are all considered material issues.

The tools used to inform decisions about the material issues facing the Company include internal analysis and reporting mechanisms, market research, external polling and research, as well as feedback received directly from key stakeholders. X5's sustainability strategy, which was developed in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) and was approved in 2019, was also used to select the Company's material issues.

Management believes that this report accurately covers how X5 Group interacts with and creates value for its stakeholders.

Financial and non-financial information

X5 Group's financial, operating and ESG performance is reviewed on a regular basis by the Company's management and Supervisory Board. Key areas of the Company's non-financial performance include innovation, consumer safety, environmental impact, investments in local communities, the provision of a safe and enriching workplace for our employees, business conduct, and supplier relationships.
