2016 Financial
Performance
Gross merchandise
volume (GMV) totaled €3.0 billion, an increase of 13.6% versus
2015 on a like-for-like (l-f-l) basis (please see Footnote 2 on
Page 1). On a reported basis, GMV rose 10.5% compared to
2015.
This progression is explained
by:
-
Dynamic traffic: increase
of 10.8% year-on-year (y-o-y), driven by a growing mobile share: +503 basis points to 53% in 2016 (up to
56% in December). Mobile visits rose by 22%, and the mobile
conversion rate increased by more than 30 basis points on a yearly
basis. In 2016, Cdiscount posted the strongest SEO progression in
the French e-commerce sector according to Yooda;
-
Strong growth of orders and
number of items sold: y-o-y increases of 23.2%
and 22.1%, respectively;
-
Expanding marketplace share
of total GMV: increase to 31.4% (+332 basis points y-o-y) due to:
i) good performance of home, fashion and hi-tech categories, ii)
increase in the number of marketplace sellers and product
offerings, up by 20% and 48%, respectively, iii) continuous
improvement in the quality of marketplace vendors in terms of
customer service levels, aided by the development of Cdiscount
fulfillment services to vendors;
-
Growing number of active
customers: y-o-y increase of 13% to 8.2 million at the end of
2016. Membership of Cdiscount à volonté
(CDAV), Cdiscount's loyalty program whose members purchase at a
higher frequency than non-CDAV customers, more than doubled at the
end of 2016 compared to the end of 2015.
Net sales
totaled €1.9 billion in 2016, up 10.7% on a l-f-l basis compared to
2015 (+6.8% on a reported basis). Home furnishings and household
appliances accounted for 45% of direct sales, while hi-tech items
(AV and smartphones) and IT goods represented 36% of direct sales.
Marketplace commissions increased significantly by 38% y-o-y.
Gross profit
was €255 million with a corresponding margin of 13.8% (+55 basis
points y-o-y). This improvement resulted primarily from an
expanding marketplace contribution as well as consumer financing
service fees.
SG&A
costs amounted to €(258) million and were 13.9% of net sales
(compared to -€252 million, 14.5% of net sales, in 2015):
-
At Cdiscount, SG&A was €(251) million (13.5%
of net sales vs. 13.4% in 2015). The decrease in fulfillment costs
was offset by increases in on- and offline marketing expenses,
G&A costs as well as tech and content costs.
As a result, operating EBIT totaled €(3) million compared to €(23)
million last year.
The operating
loss reported for 2016 amounted to €(26) million (compared to
an operating loss of €(55) million in 2015).
Net financial expense was €(31)
million and included the interest expense associated with the
factoring costs from Cdiscount's consumer financing plan.
Net loss from
continuing operations amounted to €(69) million with an
adjusted EPS of €(0.11).
Net result from
discontinued operations amounted to €150 million, and presented
an adjusted EPS excluding non-recurring items of €(0.41), and
mainly consisted of: i) the gain related to the transfer of Cnova
Brazil to Via Varejo in the 4th quarter for €546 million, ii) Cnova
Brazil cumulative net result of €(220) million as of October 31,
2016 (date of the transfer to Via Varejo), and iii) €(178) million
of exchanges losses related to Cnova Brazil previously recorded in
equity.
Cash
Management:
Free cash
flow was €(22.9) million of which €(7.5) million from
Cdiscount.
-
Net cash from continuing
operating activities amounted to €21 million and included a
change in operating working capital of €22 million.
-
Capex (purchase of
property, equipment and intangible assets) was €(44) million, or
2.4% of net sales.
Net financial cash position
at December 31, 2016 was €178 million.
Customer offer
and service enhancements during 2016 centered on improvement of
existing and development of new services, including:
- large items (> 30 kgs):
same-day delivery Monday through Saturday;
- small items (< 30 kgs):
delivery 7 days a week as well as by appointment;
- marketplace vendor fulfillment
services (logistics and customer relations are handled directly by
Cdiscount);
- the strengthening of Cdiscount's
competitive position thanks to the implementation of a centralized
purchasing platform, "MaNo," by Groupe Casino and Groupe
Conforama;
- the launches of several new
innovative services:
-
Cstream, Cdiscount's multimedia streaming
service;
-
Cdiscount Mobile, Cdiscount's price competitive
4G mobile telephone service;
-
Cdiscount Cloud, unlimited photo storage plus 20
Go of video, music and document storage at no charge for CDAV
customers;
-
Cdiscount Express (previously Alimentaire
Express), Cdiscount's 90 minute delivery service in and around
Paris, free by appointment for CDAV members;
2016 perimeter
changes:
Over the course of 2016, the
Company has undergone a significant reconfiguration resulting in
streamlined, more efficient operations. Perimeter changes include
the:
-
sale of Cdiscount Thailand and Cdiscount
Vietnam;
-
closure of overseas sites Cdiscount Cameroun,
Cdiscount Côte d'Ivoire, Cdiscount Sénégal and Cdiscount Colombia;
and
-
merger of Cnova Brazil into Via Varejo.
As a result, 2015 and 2016
consolidated net profit/(loss) from continuing operations and KPIs
exclude the activities of these business units.

(+7.8% l-f-l). All product categories benefited from Black Friday

of 12.9% (+74 basis points).

EBIT amounted to €1 million compared to €(2) million in 2015.

Outlook
Cdiscount is working to improve
its market positions as well as reinforce and develop its customer
offer and service enhancements through:
-
The expansion of CDAV offers (number of
available product offerings, promotional events, private sales) and
client base with a targeted growth of high double digit;
-
Increased product assortment variety and
expansion of the home furnishings category;
-
Continuous, accelerated increase of marketplace
vendors' quality and quantity;
-
Acceleration of marketplace profitability (take
rate through additional services offered to vendors) and
fulfillment services;
-
Growth and development of innovative financial
and other services;
-
Further improvement of customer satisfaction and
service levels on Cdiscount's site and app.

In addition to disclosing
financial results in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards, or IFRS, this earnings release contains
non-GAAP financial measures that Cnova uses as measures of its
performance. These non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a
supplement to and not a substitute for Cnova's IFRS measures of
performance and financial results in accordance with IFRS and
reconciliations from these results should be carefully
evaluated.
Restatements, adjustments and
reclassifications:
In
accordance with IFRS5, all figures have been adjusted as of January
1, 2015, to reflect i) the merger of Cnova Brazil into Via Varejo
on October 31, 2016, ii) the sale or closure of Cdiscount Cameroun,

non-current assets and impairment of assets and the related tax
impacts.
Adjusted net profit/(loss) Cnova

adjusted net profit/(loss) divided by the weighted average number
of outstanding ordinary shares of Cnova during the applicable
period.
The following table reflects the
reconciliation of net profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders
