MARKET TREND AND BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS
Q4 discretionary consumption remained sluggish throughout Europe amid fluctuant inflation and volatile consumer confidence.
Maisons du Monde invested commercially to face this context and to sustain Q4 sales.
The Group also strengthened the execution of its 3C Plan (Customers, Costs and Cash) with a strong focus on omnichannel Customer experience through new and distinctive initiatives:- participating in Black Friday for the first time, offering attractive discounts, and recording the highest daily sales ever,
- sharing special events tailored for the most loyal customers, providing a unique shopping experience, to discover new collections, along with gifts and exclusive advantages,
- introducing the Second Chance initiative in-store, with second-hand or damaged Maisons du Monde products. This initiative, aligned with Maisons du Monde’s CSR commitment, Good is beautiful, received the R-Award Circular Economy from le Collectif Génération Responsable.
The Group continued its proactive store portfolio management, reporting 4 net closures and 2 transfers to affiliation during the period. At the end of December 2023, the store portfolio reached 340 own stores including 18 net closures and 5 affiliated stores, as anticipated. This reflects Maisons du Monde’s commitment to effective capital allocation and a disciplined cash management approach.
Q4 TRADING UPDATE
In Q4 2023, Group sales reached €329.6 million, reflecting a year-on-year decline of -7.9%, marking a sequential improvement compared to the previous 9 months.
Online sales amounted to €78.8 million, experiencing a slight decrease of -5.3% year-on-year. Leveraging the Black Friday momentum significantly helped to improve online trend compared to the previous periods. Marketplace in France, Spain, Italy and since Q3 in Germany showed strong growth (online GMV Marketplace: +24%).
Store sales were down -8.7% year-on-year at €250.8 million, with France achieving a comparatively better performance than other geographies. Increased products availability and appealing commercial initiatives led to improved conversion rates.
Decoration sales declined by -10.5% (€215.2 million). On the other hand, Furniture sales performed better at -2.8% (€114.5 million) boosted by product availability, promotional initiatives, free shipping and free installment payments.
Geographically, sales in France amounted to €192.7 million and continued to demonstrate relative resilience (-5.7% yoy) notably thanks to the implementation of first local marketing and merchandising initiatives.
International sales totaled €137.0 million (-10.8% yoy), also experiencing a sequential improvement compared to the previous 9 months. Despite some improvement, Germany remained the least performing market whilst the Iberian Peninsula showed the most dynamic trend.
