In the third quarter of 2016, Toupargel's sales declined by 4.9% to €64.5 million, with a number of selling days equivalent to that of the year-earlier period.

Sales for the first nine months of 2016 declined 4.6% to €209.5 million, with two additional selling days compared with the year-earlier period. Owing to the quality of the product lines, the average shopping basket increased by

€1.5 to €52.3, including VAT, one of the industry's highest.

The Group is stepping up its digitisation, one of the main objectives of the "Customer Commitments" strategic plan. Internet sales increased by 20.2% and represented 3.5% of Toupargel brand sales, vs. 2.8% in the first nine months of 2015. The number of mobile orders (via smartphones and tablets) saw strong growth, as the e-commerce site was redeveloped with a responsive design.

Nicolas Besson has joined the management team as Chief Financial Officer.

2016 Outlook

The Group is pursuing its 2013-16 strategic plan and maintaining its targets for earnings and reduction in net debt. Management projects capital expenditure in the region of €6 million in 2016.
