Comments on Operations in Russia
DALLAS, Texas, March 14, 2022 – Loyalty Ventures Inc.
(Nasdaq: LYLT), a leading provider of tech-enabled, data-driven consumer loyalty solutions today provided an update on its operations in Russia.
The company has taken steps to pause business in Russia, but will honor its commitments to current programs with Russian grocery chain clients in fulfillment
of contractual obligations. However, the company does not plan to offer new loyalty campaigns there for the time being. The vast majority of products the company uses for its campaign-based loyalty solutions in Russian grocery stores are sourced
internationally, and none of the rewards for loyalty campaigns outside of Russia are sourced from Russian suppliers.
For full year 2022, the company projects that its decision to pause its loyalty campaigns for Russian grocery chains will result in lost revenues of
approximately $16 million (€15 million). For the year ended December 31, 2021, Loyalty Ventures Inc.’s revenue was $735 million.
