These numbers are framed within a healthy balance sheet with virtually zero indebtedness. llaollao has benefited from its liquidity generation capacity due to its high cash flow, which has enabled organic investments with new openings and an increased presence in strategic markets.

Additionally, thanks to this, the Group was able to explore and develop new alternative business avenues in 2023 to capitalise on this differentiating characteristic and expand its product portfolio.

At the end of 2023, the Spanish brand had established 396 stores globally, representing a 34% growth. In Spain, it has 145 points of sale, 50% of which (72) are company-owned stores managed directly by the business group.

Additionally, the company has significantly increased its international presence since 2022, especially in markets considered more relevant and with greater potential for the brand's future. 

Currently, llaollao has a prominent presence in Malaysia (118 stores), Indonesia (26 stores), Singapore (12 stores), and the Philippines (51 stores).
