PRESS RELEASE Nantes, 15 May 2025
____
François-Melchior de Polignac, CEO, commented: "Despite a market environment that remained difficult in the first quarter of 2025, we are starting to see encouraging results, particularly in Southern Europe, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Inspire Everyday Transformation Plan. However, the rebound in demand is slow to materialize due to the ongoing uncertainty affecting consumers and leading to delayed discretionary spend, notably in France. As a result, we are stepping up our transformation plan, with a continued holistic approach building on our strengths and encompassing customer expectations, our product positioning and the Brand, as well as our cost structure and operational model. We are improving the customer experience daily while transforming our model and readying the business for the future."

Group sales in Q1 2025 decreased by 10.9% versus the same period in 2024, reflecting a difficult European economic context. In France, the slowdown in economic growth, exacerbated by an unstable political climate and persistent macroeconomic uncertainties, continues to weigh on consumer confidence, leading to a decline in purchasing intentions, particularly for discretionary goods such as furniture and decoration.
To address these challenges, the ongoing transformation within the company continues across the entire value chain for improvement. This plan aims to reinvent the customer experience, especially digital, enrich the product offer with range extensions (pets & culinary) but also new product families (bathrooms), while continuing to simplify our offer in overly dense product families. We are also working on the in-store experience for both individuals, with a continued review of the customer journey and sales team training, and for our B2B customers, with the launch of dedicated stands within our stores offering a full range of services.
On a like-for-like basis, sales recorded a relatively less marked decline of 9.9%.
Online sales reached €58.8 million, down 17.6%, mainly due to a decrease in traffic partly linked to a reduction in SEA investments. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in organic traffic (SEO), supported by billboard campaigns and the loyalty program. The conversion rate nevertheless improved. Marketplace sales were down 10%.
Store sales fell by 8.2% (-5.7% on a like-for-like basis). Billboard campaigns, events organized around renovated stores, and "Privilege Days" offered as part of the loyalty program strengthened brand visibility and customer engagement.

At the end of March 2025, the network comprised 333 stores, including 14 affiliates and 3 franchisees.
Decoration sales amounted to €124.3 million, down 10.1%. This decline reflects customers' wait-and-see attitude regarding discretionary spending.
Furniture sales recorded a sharper decline of 11.8%, notably due to their significant weight in online sales.
Geographically, sales in France fell by 11.8% during the quarter, while international sales decreased by 9.8%, reflecting mixed results in the Group's various countries and notably more favorable momentum in Spain and Italy.
