THE GROUP STRENGTHENS ITS LEADING POSITION IN THE ONLINE HIGH-TECH MARKET
As expected, revenue growth accelerated in Q4 2015/2016 with a 15.2% increase over the same period last year.
Full-year Group sales came in at €320.7m, up 12.2% (*). This performance is in line with the Group's published target of double-digit organic growth. This dynamic business growth was driven by BtoC and BtoB online and cross-channel selling, which saw an all-round ramp-up in line with Group targets.
The BtoC business posted revenues of €201.0m, up 7.5% from €187.0m in the previous year. Excluding MisterGoodDeal sales, like-for-like growth was even stronger at 10%. During the year, LDLC.com acquired over 337,000 new customers, including 88,000 during the fourth quarter, thereby further strengthening its leading position.
At 31 March 2016, the Group had 14 stores, compared to 8 on the same date in 2015. Full-year store sales increased 32.7% to €34.5m. A new store has been opened in Nantes since the balance sheet date, with 4 or 5 additional stores due to open between now and August.
LDLC.pro maintained its high growth rate, posting an increase of 19.8% with revenues of €109.0m.
The remaining businesses continued to make positive contributions to Group growth, with sales up 40.8% to €10.7m. Maginea revenues rose 27.1% to €7.5m.
(*) Excluding the impact of the termination of the partnership with MisterGoodDeal on 2015/2016 revenues, growth came in at 14.2%.
Group CEO Olivier de la Clergerie made the following comments: “This year proves our ability to achieve set targets and generate consistent growth across all of our businesses. It also marked an important milestone in the development of the LDLC.com Group. With the consolidation of Materiel.net, which posted 2015 revenues of €147.1m, on 1 April 2016 our Group reached a critical mass that places it alongside the leading e-commerce brands in France. Our challenges for the current year will be to develop intra-group synergies, continue to roll out our store network with the aim of having 100 stores up and running by 2021, and implement our development plan, which will enable us to double in size.”
