The Czech-based Rohlik Group, which ranks among the so-called "unicorns" (companies with a valuation exceeding one billion dollars), has announced an increase in its financial indicators. Group revenues grew by 35 percent year-on-year, reaching 1.333 billion euros. At the same time, the company manages to maintain a positive EBITDA, supported by long-term profitability in its home market combined with the increasing performance of its foreign branches.

The basis for this growth lies in a long-term strategy of expanding into other European markets. When planning its entry into Romania, Italy, and Spain, Rohlik Group decided to introduce a unified brand, Sezamo, for these regions. This name, referencing the sesame seed as a universal and popular ingredient, was chosen with regard to the shared Latin linguistic roots of the target countries and its good international comprehensibility.

The published data confirms that foreign expansion is a key growth driver for Rohlik Group. Increased interest in grocery delivery from Romanian customers through the Sezamo platform has reflected positively in the overall revenues. The Romanian market is thus actively participating in the group's current growth and confirms its importance within the company's European strategy.

For the local market, the current financial results primarily represent a confirmation of financial stability. The strong financial health of the parent company, Rohlik Group, provides the Sezamo brand with the backing needed for smooth ongoing operations in Romania, which opens up opportunities for potential further investments in the development of the logistics network and the expansion of the available product assortment for local customers.
