Olivier de la Clergerie, LDLC Group CEO, said: “The LDLC Group maintained its strong growth trajectory in Q3 2020-2021, with sales up by more than 50%. All of the Group's businesses continue to benefit from the strong momentum witnessed since the end of the first lockdown, and a year-end period particularly favourable for e-commerce.

This record performance for a third quarter and nine-month period reflects the strong and continued demand by individual consumers and businesses for high-tech products. Thanks to consistently strong market trends, LDLC Group is confident in its ability to post significant growth in 2020-2021, and is now aiming to achieve revenues of around €700m and EBITDA close to €60m. “

9-MONTH CONSOLIDATED REVENUES (1 APRIL TO 31 DECEMBER) – UNAUDITED

Corporate data: Q3 2020-2021 revenues amounted to €207.2m and 9-month revenues came to €490.0m.

Q3 2020-2021 revenues: €227.8m (up 51.3%, and up 27.1% at constant consolidation scope) driven by growth in all of the Group's businesses

The BtoC business posted third-quarter revenues of €164.8m, up 67.3% (up 30.3% at constant consolidation scope), underpinned by strong demand for high-tech products. The significant growth of online brands continued, with particularly buoyant business over the year-end period. Consistent with this upward trend, LDLC stores posted revenues of €26.6m, up 26.2%.

The BtoB business achieved Q3 revenues of €59.3m in 2020-2021, up 19.0% from €49.8m in the same period last year.

Other businesses also continued to grow over the period, generating revenues of €3.7m, up 68.3% from €2.2m a year earlier, thanks in large part to the significant performance of L'Armoire de Bébé in the childcare products segment, whose quarterly sales almost tripled to €2.5m (up 188%).

Record 9-month revenues of €542.1m (up 45.5% as reported, up 23.5% at constant consolidation scope)

Consolidated revenues totalled €542.1 million in the first nine months of 2020-2021, up 45.5% and already beating the €493.4 million achieved in 2019-2020 as a whole.

This record growth reflects the major step-up in the BtoC online business since the start of the year, the contribution of Top Achat, acquired in April 2020, and positive trends posted by LDLC stores and BtoB since the end of the first lockdown.

Over the first nine months of the year, BtoC revenues rose 64.6% (up 30.6% at constant consolidation scope) to €397.2m, compared to €241.4m in the same period last year. LDLC store chain revenues (55 LDLC stores in France at 31 December 2020) rose sharply by 17.4% to €61.6m.

With the strong recovery in the BtoB business since Q2 2020-2021 (third quarter of the calendar year), 9-month revenues amounted to €135.8 million, up 8.3% (compared to 0.7% in the first half).

Other businesses posted YTD 9-month revenues of €9.2m, up from €5.8m in 2019/2020. L'Armoire de Bébé has seen tremendous growth since the beginning of the financial year, driven by a sharp increase in online brand awareness, and the opening of a second store in the Paris region. L'Armoire de Bébé posted 9-month revenues of €6.0m, up 164%.

2020/2021 interim dividend

As previously announced, the LDLC Group approved the payment of an ordinary interim dividend of €0.50 per share in respect of 2020-2021 (ex-dividend date 23 February 2021, payment date 25 February 2021).
