The banners maintained good growth momentum in an inflationary environment, thanks to initiatives aimed at supporting purchasing power, with sales up +3.9% on a same-store basis (+2.1% on a reported basis due mainly to a drop in fuel sales). The Parisian banners saw a sharp +4.8% acceleration in same-store sales (+2.1% in Q2 2022), in a market shaped by the return of tourists. The convenience banners enjoyed strong growth momentum, driven by their positioning in buoyant regions (Paris and its suburbs, Rhône-Alpes, Côte d'Azur) and the sustained pace of new store openings.

Strategic priorities:

  • Over 9 months, 527 stores were opened in convenience formats, mainly under franchise (including 67 Franprix, 81 Marchés d’à côté, 94 Vival/Spar/Casino, 38 Epiceries d’à côté, 16 Monop’, 17 Naturalia…).
  • This dynamic of new store openings has recently picked up pace thanks to the arrival of new franchise partners previously affiliated with other networks. These include Magne (131 stores), Bérard (22 stores) and Les Nouveaux Robinson (8 stores) in October, in addition to the c.30 stores that joined the network in Q3, including Coop de Champagne (14 stores), Triangle (8 stores), and five supermarkets. In all, newly opened stores and new affiliates since the beginning of the year in convenience or supermarket formats represent gross sales under banner of more than €400m on a full-year basis.
  • The food E-commerce business continued to expand with net sales up +22% over the quarter.

Cdiscount
In a contracting market, Cdiscount pursued its strategy of improving its business mix to focus on the marketplace, which accounted for 52% of GMV in Q3 2022 (+9 pts vs. Q3 2021). Marketplace GMV was up +7% compared to Q3 2019 (-3% vs. Q3 2021), while direct sales were down.

The cost savings plan targeting €75m in savings on a full-year basis by 2023 is ongoing and should deliver savings of over €30m in H2 2022.

Disposal plan
The disposal plan represents €4.1bn in divestments signed or secured out of a target of €4.5bn. The Group completed the disposal of GreenYellow on 18 October 2022, and has signed additional disposals for €115m (including €64m relating to CChezVous and €51m relating to property disposals).

Financial indicators – France2

EBITDA: over the quarter, EBITDA after lease payments increased by +26% to €184m (€146m in Q3 2021), driven by sales growth and cost control.

Net debt:
In Q3 2022, the increase in net debt due to customary seasonal trends was -€91m compared to -€506m in Q3 2021, including:

  • Improved cash flow excluding disposal plan (-€230m in Q3 2022 vs. -€506m in Q3 2021) due to improved EBITDA, changes in working capital and capex;
  • Progress on the disposal plan representing +€140m, including €53m relating to real estate and €86m to the Mercialys TRS.

Over 12 months, the change in net debt was -€40m compared to -€455m at end-June, due to the improvement in operating cash flow and disposals (excluding GreenYellow).
After taking into account the disposal of GreenYellow3 completed on 18 October, net debt stood at €4.6bn, an improvement of +€560m over 12 months.

Latin America

LATIN AMERICA

Net sales up +23% as reported over the third quarter (+9% at constant exchange rates), and +11% on a same-store basis. Assaí and Grupo Éxito recorded robust growth of +49% and +25% respectively, and +28% and +20% respectively at constant exchange rates.
GPA Brazil net sales increased by +7% on a same-store basis. Taking into account the closure of the Extra hypermarkets sold to Assaí, total net sales fell by -21% (-32% at constant exchange rates).

The conversion of GPA hypermarkets to the Assaí banner continued, with 19 stores opened to date. Assaí now expects 45 stores to be converted by the end of 2022, ahead of its initial target of 40. Stores already converted to the Assaí banner have outperformed initial expectations.

A project to spin off GPA and Grupo Éxito has been launched in order to unlock Grupo Éxito’s value. This transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2023, subject to obtaining the necessary authorisations. Following the spin-off, the Group would hold interests in three separate listed assets in a buoyant context in Brazil and Colombia, opening the way to valuation options for these assets.

In this context, in order to accelerate its deleveraging, the Group has launched a study of a potential sale of part of its stake in Assaí for an amount of approximately $500m, which could, if necessary, be increased depending on market conditions.

Outlook for 2022 in France
Casino Group’s priority remains growth and maintaining a good level of profitability to ensure increased cash flow generation.

  • Growth is sustained by an acceleration among the Parisian banners in Q3 and the continuation of the expansion strategy (800 stores to be opened in convenience formats this year).

For FY 2022, the Group confirms its targets:

  • Maintain a high level of profitability and improve cash flow generation;
    • Continue its €4.5bn disposal plan in France, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

Disposal plan for non-strategic assets

The asset disposal plan represents €4.1bn in disposals signed or secured to date. The Group confirms its aim of completing its €4.5bn disposal plan (€0.4bn of which remains to be made) by the end of 2023.

  • Casino Group completed the sale of a majority stake in GreenYellow to Ardian on 18 October. The total proceeds to Casino Group from the GreenYellow disposal amount to €600m6, net of the €165m reinvested amount (residual 15% stake in GreenYellow).
  • Since the end of June, the Group has continued to implement its disposal plan, with an additional €115m of deals signed, including:
    • The sale by Cdiscount of 95% of the capital of CChezVous to GeoPost for €64m;
    • New secured disposals of property assets amounting to €51m.
  • During the third quarter, the Group received €415m under its disposal plan, including:
    • A non-recourse receivable assignment for a nominal amount of €350m concluded with Farallon Capital7 in connection with the disposal of GreenYellow. The remaining amount was received when the transaction was completed on 18 October 2022;
  • €53m from disposals of property assets;
  • €12m in earn-out payments in connection with the Apollo and Fortress joint ventures8.

For France Retail, sales for the quarter came to €3,634m, up +3.9% on a same-store basis (vs. -1.6% in Q1 2022 and +3.4% in Q2 2022). The food E-commerce segment remained very strong, recording growth in net sales of +22% for the quarter.
The Group opened 151 new convenience stores during the quarter (Franprix, Spar, Vival, etc.), and continued to adapt its stores to new consumption patterns, with 19 traditional Géant hypermarkets now converted into Casino Hyper Frais (15 of which were converted during Q3).
The Group has 654 stores offering automated solutions, enabling them to operate autonomously in the evening and on Sundays (639 stores at end-2021). Two-thirds of payments in Géant hypermarkets and Casino Supermarkets are now made by smartphone or at an automated checkout.
This strategy has strengthened customer loyalty and ensured the success of subscriptions in the Casino, Monoprix and now Naturalia (since 25 August) banners. The Group had nearly 350,000 paying subscribers at 30 September (300,000 at end-June 2022).

Business review by banner:

  • Monoprix net sales rose by +4.1% on a same-store basis in the quarter, continuing their sequential improvement (-3.0% in Q1 2022, +2.2% in Q2 2022) thanks to the upturn in activity in the Paris region. Food e-commerce continues to grow rapidly, driven by partnerships with Ocado, Amazon, Gorillas, Uber Eats and Deliveroo. The banner further expanded its store network during the quarter, with 12 store openings. It also continued its innovation drive with the opening of the first Monoprix Maison home decor store in early October.
    • Franprix sales jumped +7.5% over the quarter. Same-store sales rose by +8.4%, driven mainly by the return of tourists and office workers in Paris. Franprix's expansion strategy continues, with 37 new stores opened during the quarter, for a total of 148 stores opened since the beginning of the year. The banner now opens an average of one store every other day.

This fast-paced expansion, driven both by a new generation of franchisees and by our long-standing franchise partners, confirms the attractiveness and robustness of the Franprix model in our target expansion areas (Paris region, Rhône-Alpes and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur). The master franchise agreements signed with new players in October will accelerate this growth momentum.

  • The Convenience business posted robust +8.0% growth in net sales over the quarter. The banner saw good sales momentum with same-store net sales growth of +6.3%, driven by a format tailored to the needs of customers in our growth areas (particularly Rhône Alpes and Côte d'Azur), a good summer season thanks to a strong presence in tourist areas (coast, mountains, eco-tourism destinations), and the development of partnerships with Uber Eats, Deliveroo and the "mescoursesdeproximité.com" website, enabling 1,519 stores to offer an e-commerce solution.

Since the beginning of the year, 346 new stores have been opened, representing more than one store per day, either new franchises or stores previously affiliated with other banners. This expansion picked up pace in October with the arrival of master franchisees Magne, Bérard and Les Nouveaux Robinson, for a total of 161 points of sale in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Occitanie and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur regions, following the affiliation of 25 stores in Q3, including Coop de Champagne (14 stores) and Triangle (8 stores).

  • Casino Supermarkets recorded a +1.6% rise in same-store sales over the quarter. E-commerce was once again a growth driver, led by partnerships with Deliveroo (76 stores) and Shopopop (106 stores). Sales momentum continued in stores, with the launch of targeted initiatives to support purchasing power (€1 fruit and vegetables offer, 15% off fresh produce with the CMax subscription, continued fuel and "Plus bas y a pas" ["You won't find it for less"] operations, etc.). Since the beginning of the year, the banner has gained five new franchisee members who were previously affiliated with other banners.
  • Hypermarket same-store sales climbed +2.2% over the quarter. The contribution from the E-commerce segment continues to grow, buoyed by partnerships with Deliveroo (11 stores) and Shopopop (33 stores). The shop-in-shop strategy is ongoing, with the roll-out of retail spaces (50 C&A retail spaces, 61 Claire's, 61 La Grande Récré and 61 Animaute et Dalma).

RelevanC

RelevanC maintained its growth momentum in Q3 2022. The subsidiary launched a new personalised digital catalogue offer which will initially be deployed at Monoprix.

Outside France, RelevanC is also enjoying strong momentum in Latin America, with solid growth in Brazil and new offices opened in Colombia.

Cdiscount13         

During the quarter Cdiscount continued its strategy of improving its business mix to focus on the marketplace, which now represents 52% of total GMV, up +9 pts year on year and +12 pts versus 2019.

In an unsettled macroeconomic environment, marketplace GMV for Cdiscount was up +7% compared with the pre-Covid period and virtually stable over one year (-3%). Total GMV was down -15% on a same-store basis, reflecting the -32% decrease in GMV from direct sales. Marketplace revenues increased by +26% compared with the pre-Covid period and were stable over one year.

Digital marketing benefited from vigorous activity on the CARS digital marketing platform (Cdiscount Ads Retail Solution), whose revenues increased by +22% in the quarter.

Octopia continued its fast-paced expansion and now has 25 customers for its Octopia Marketplace-as-a-Service and Merchants-as-a-Service solutions, of which 9 are already operational.

The cost savings plan targeting €75m in savings on a full-year basis by 2023 is ongoing. At the end of Q3 2022, the plan was on track to achieve the savings expected in H2 2022 for an amount of more than €30m.
