Activity in France (61.5% of turnover) fell -2.6% over the year, in particular with:

- A stable Textile activity (-0.1% vs N-1), despite a difficult market context over the period (- 4.2% according to the French Fashion Institute). This performance can be explained by the distribution of Orchestra magazines since March 2019 and the actions taken by the Group in terms of commercial policy and product offering

  • A dynamic childcare activity up + 3.3% in 2019/2020 compared to the previous year
  • Conversely, Membership activity decreased by -36.4% over the period, a consequence of membership campaigns carried out at lower prices.

Activity outside of France remained mixed over the 2019/2020 financial year:

  • International excluding Belux (26.0% of sales for the period) posted an increase of + 1.8%, and;
  • The Belux activity (12.5% of turnover for the period) was down -0.8%.

The Web activity displays a continuous dynamic (+ 15.4%) supported by:

  • The good performance of childcare sales on this channel (+ 28.1%) and;
  • The development of Web sales in France (+ 11.5%).

In the context of the health crisis that we are currently experiencing, the level of performance in web sales, in line with the progress known over the financial year ended February 29, 2020, constitutes great satisfaction for the Group.

This change can be explained in particular by the investments made (IT teams and systems) over the past two years. The introduction of new innovative e-commerce tools in the fall (ship from store, clic and collect, etc.) also contributed to the growth of web activity.

The Trading & Miscellaneous activity increased by + 10.6% following sales made to sellers during the financial year.

As of February 29, 2020, the Group had 1.8 million Club cardholders, who contribute more than 90% of the Group's turnover.
