Carrefour, In Shift, To Exit Russia

　家乐福将退出俄罗斯市场

　

　

　French retail giant Carrefour SA Thursday said it is exiting Russia shortly after having entered the market, as it posted a 2.9% drop in third-quarter sales.

　在进入俄罗斯市场不久后，法国零售巨头家乐福(Carrefour SA)周四宣布将退出俄罗斯。此前家乐福公布第三季度销售额下降了2.9%。

　

　

　Carrefour"s change in strategy on Russia, only a month after it opened its second hypermarket in the country, comes on the heels of a series of news reports that the company is under pressure from key shareholders, U.S. private-equity firm Colony Capital LLC and French investor Bernard Arnault, to quickly sell off assets in emerging markets. The company last week moved to dispel the reports, issuing a denial.

　家乐福在对俄罗斯战略的改变距在该国开设第二家大型超市仅有一个月时间。此前，不断有报导说，该公司受到美国私募股权公司柯罗尼资本集团(Colony Capital LLC)和法国投资者贝尔纳•阿尔诺(Bernard Arnault)等主要股东要求其迅速出售新兴市场资产的压力。家乐福上周否认了这些报导。

　

　

　Carrefour Chief Financial Officer Pierre Bouchut Thursday said in a conference call on the sales figures that the company has nocurrent plans to exit any other markets, but that it is "permanently reassessing the situation of all business units" to ensure that they are able to "secure a profitable leadership position over time."

　家乐福首席财务长布旭(Pierre Bouchut)周四在有关销售业绩的电话会议上说，公司目前没有退出任何其它市场的计划，但会始终重新评估所有业务部门的情况，以确保它们能够随着时间的推移保持盈利的领导地位。

　

　

　Carrefour will likely incur a small cash cost in exiting the Russian, Mr. Bouchut said.




　布旭说，家乐福退出俄罗斯将可能发生少量现金损失。

　

　

　He affirmed Carrefour"s interest in keeping its presence in Belgium, where Chief Executive Lars Olofsson said it needed a new strategy.

　他证实家乐福有意留在比利时。不过首席执行长罗盛中(Lars Olofsson)说，需要在比利时采取新的战略。
