Operating margin, however, dropped by 30 bp to 2.7% of sales as a result of a 5.6% decline in EBITDA margin and an increase in expenses related to the acquisition of rival Victoria.

Revenues grew 11.9% year-on-year to $1.1bn, driven mainly by store openings and 5.7% like-for-like sales growth in the quarter. Dixy neighborhood stores revenue was the main driver of growth, which increased by 28.7% to $745.9m.

In the first nine months of the year, Dixy opened 224 stores, almost doubling of the number of openings compared to the same period last year. The retailer did not give a number for the third quarter alone.
