3rd Quarter 2016
Financial Performance
Gross merchandise
volume (GMV) amounted to €681 million for the 3rd quarter 2016
(+6.3% compared to the same period in 2015). This progression is
explained by:
-
On a year-on-year (y-o-y) basis, orders and number of items sold
grew by 18.8% and 19.9%, respectively,
-
Mobile share of traffic
rose 435 basis points y-o-y to 54.2%. Cdiscount revamped its mobile
app, and the mobile conversion rate was up
more than 20% compared to 3Q15,
-
Marketplace share of GMV
was 33.3% (+347 basis points y-o-y) due to category leadership and
ramp-up of fulfillment services,
-
In July, unseasonable weather and events on July
14th led to a low
single-digit increase in GMV before rebounding in August.
Net sales
totaled €414 million in the 3rd quarter 2016
(+2.8% y-o-y). Sales of home furnishings and household appliances
fell below double digit in July before recovering in August. The
Group decision to cut back on low profitability B2B activity
reduced net sales in the quarter by 3%. During the quarter,
Cdiscount France led the French e-commerce sector in terms of SEO
progression according to Yooda.
Gross profit
was €58 million with a corresponding margin of 14.1% (+46 basis
points y-o-y; Cdiscount France: +40 basis points). This improvement
results from both a larger marketplace contribution related to its
expansion and consumer financing service fees.
SG&A
costs amounted to €(59) million (14.4% of net sales):
As a result, operating EBIT totaled €(1) million compared to €(2)
million during the same period last year.
The operating
loss reported during the 3rd quarter of
2016 amounted to €(8) million and included expenses related to the
closing of the specialty site Le Comptoir
Santé in September as well as some residual expenses associated
with closed international operations.
Net financial expense was €(8) million
and included the interest expense associated with the factoring
costs from Cdiscount France's consumer financing plan.
Net loss from
continuing operations amounted to €(16) million with an
adjusted EPS of €(0.02).
Net loss from
discontinued operations amounted to €(60) million with an
adjusted EPS of €(0.11), mainly related to Cnova Brazil's
results.
Cash
Management (last twelve months at September 30, 2016)
Free cash
flow was €0 million with €17 million from Cdiscount France.
-
Net cash from continuing
operating activities at September 30, 2016, amounted to €33
million and included a change in operating working capital of €39
million. The improvement in operating working capital mainly
stemmed from €38 million at Cdiscount France.
-
Capex (purchase of
property, equipment and intangible assets) was €(33) million, or
1.8% of net sales.
Net financial debt3 position
at September 30, 2016 was €(124) million. At Cdiscount France
level, the net financial debt was €(77) million.
Customer offer
and service
Enhancements during the 3rd
quarter 2016 centered on improvement of existing and development of
new services, including:
-
Extension of same-day delivery of large items
(> 30 kgs) to the 10 largest cities in France (delivery between
19:00 and 23:00 for all orders received by 14:00);
-
Cstream, Cdiscount's video,
music streaming service launched on October 4, 2016;
-
CDAV (Cdiscount à volonté)
customers benefit from new services including private sale
offers.
Perimeter
change
As mentioned above, Cnova closed
the last of its specialty sites, Le Comptoir
Santé, in September 2016. The Company is also currently
considering whether it should continue with its last international
activity in the Ivory Coast or instead focus solely on its core
high-growth potential market in France.
Nine Month 2016
Financial Performance
GMV amounted
to €2,052 million for the first nine months of 2016 (+12.3%
compared to the same period in 2015) with a corresponding
marketplace share of 31.4% (+387 bps).
Net sales totaled €1,272 million in the first
nine months of 2016 (+9.1% y-o-y).
Gross profit totaled €180
million (+12.9% y-o-y) with a corresponding gross margin of 14.1%
(+48 basis points; Cdiscount France: +44 basis points).
Operating EBIT amounted to
€(5) million compared to €(22) million in the same period in 2015.
Cdiscount France achieved breakeven versus €(11) million during the
same period in 2015.
Outlook
Moving forward, Cnova will
concentrate on its French business via Cdiscount, and, among other
things, plans to:
-
Continue to push a strong increase in the number
of CDAV clients,
-
Ramp up marketplace fulfillment services,
-
Expand the quantity and quality of marketplace
sellers,
-
Increase the number of SKUs available for
immediate and next day delivery, and
-
Add new customer and marketplace revenue streams
to further monetize growing online traffic.
As for 2016, on a full year basis,
Cnova reiterates its guidance: Cdiscount France's operating EBIT is
expected to continue to improve and finish above breakeven (FY
2015: -4 M€).

Update on Cnova Brazil
(discontinued activity): 3rd Quarter
2016
GMV at Cnova Brazil amounted
to R$1.5 billion for the 3rd quarter 2016
(-24.2% y-o-y).
-
The 3rd quarter 2016
marketplace share of GMV was 21.2%, increasing
+926 basis points y-o-y (a marked acceleration versus previous
quarters: 14.7% in 4Q15, 15.6% in 1Q16 and 16.6% in 2Q16). New
sellers were attracted to Cnova Brazil's traffic streams thanks to
direct sales' strong local brands and pick-up points. A series of
initiatives were implemented over the quarter to attract new
sellers offering quality customer service, including massive offers
inclusion tools, better marketplace order tracking and customer
communication as well as marketplace online subscription
tools.
Net sales
totaled R$946 million* in the
3rd quarter 2016
(-38.1% y-o-y) as a reduction in marketing investment led lower
traffic. From an operational point of view, though, the main
bottlenecks impacting this and previous quarters (residual ERP
migration problems and logistics disruptions) are mostly resolved
by end of September, while the out-of-stock situation remains an
issue.
Cnova Brazil notes a significant improvement in commercial trends, on the back of an easier comparison base:

Gross profit
was R$172 million in the 3rd quarter 2016
with a corresponding margin of 18.2% (+645 basis points y-o-y).
This improvement results primarily from higher supplier and
marketplace contributions as well as the recognition in 3Q16 of
non-recurring VAT (PIS Cofins) credits (leading to R$18 million
more than 3Q15; without this impact, the 3Q16 gross margin would
have been 13.8%).
SG&A
costs increased to R$247 million (26.1% of net sales) in the
3rd quarter 2016
mainly due to higher legal expenses related to customer claims from
past operational inefficiencies, increased provisions for
chargeback expenses and for returned products in transit.
As a result, 3Q16 operating EBIT totaled R$(75) million compared to
R$(61) million during the same period last year. The operating loss reported during the 3rd
quarter 2016 amounted to R$(88) million.
Net financial
expense was R$88 million (up 12.7% y-o-y) in 3Q16 due to
interest costs from new loans contracted this year.
Net loss
amounted to R$(176) million for the 3rd quarter of
2016.
Net financial
debt at September 30, 2016 was R$(1,255) million.

Adjusted net profit/(loss)
Adjusted earnings per share
(Adjusted EPS)
Adjusted net profit/(loss) is
calculated as net profit/(loss) before restructuring, initial
public offering expenses, litigation, gain/(loss) from disposal of
non-current assets and impairment of assets and the related tax
impacts.
Adjusted net profit/(loss) Cnova

business. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in
calculating adjusted net profit/(loss) facilitates the comparison
of income on a period-to-period basis.
Adjusted EPS is calculated as
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
of Cnova to adjusted net profit/(loss) attributable to equity
holders of Cnova and presents the computation of Adjusted EPS for
each of the periods indicated.

investors to evaluate our cash and cash equivalents and debt levels
and our current account position, taking into consideration the
cash pool arrangements in place among certain members of the Casino
