| In €m | 2016/2017 | 2015/2016 | Change (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenues | 104.2 | 68.0 | +53.2% |
Quarterly information, corporate data: Q1 revenues of €75.1m compared to €67.3m in the previous year.
The LDLC Group posted Q1 2016/2017 revenues of €104.2m, up 53.2% from €68.0m for the same period last year. Excluding Materiel.net, which was consolidated from 01/04/2016, like‐for‐like growth amounted to 11.8%.
The BtoC business posted revenues of €72.8m, up 76.7% from Q1 2015/2016, including 8.2% like‐for‐like growth. This improvement was driven by (i) the consolidation of Materiel.net, which contributed revenues of €28.2m, and (ii) the expansion of the LDLC store chain to 17 stores at 30 June 2016, generating first quarter sales of €9.1m, up 31.7% from €6.9m in first quarter 2015/2016.
LDLC.pro turned in yet another excellent performance, posting revenues of €28.5m, up 19.1%.
The remaining businesses contributed €2.9m to first quarter revenues, including Maginea which increased its revenues by 4.3% despite a particularly strong performance last year.
The Group continues to work on integrating the Domisys business via the gradual roll‐out of synergies between its various entities. The initial benefits of this action plan should be felt during the year, with the full impact expected within 2 years.
For the current financial year, the Group is aiming at double‐digit growth plus an improvement in the EBITDA value.
The LDLC Group has set itself the goal of reaching the billion‐euro revenue mark with an EBITDA margin of 5.5%‐6% by 2021. By that time, the Group plans to have around 100 stores up and running.
LDLC Group CEO Olivier de la Clergerie made the following comments: "The integration of Materiel.net is progressing according to plan and has not dampened the Group's growth momentum. The Group achieved strong like‐for‐like growth compared to the first quarter of 2015/2016, which also posted sustained growth."
