In France, sales totalled €4,915 million in Q4 2016, representing an increase of +0.2% on a same-store basis and a decrease of -0.6% on an organic basis. Organic sales were impacted by the transfer of stores to franchise and the rationalisation of the store network. During the quarter, gross food sales under banners(2) rose by +1.6%, excluding the calendar effect. Over the full year, the increase came to +2.2%.
· At Géant Casino, sales were up +0.6% on a same-store basis, an improvement compared with Q3 2016. Food sales enjoyed a good performance over the quarter, increasing by +2.6% on a same-store basis versus +1.8% in Q3 2016. The strategy to reduce non-food retail space continued, with a focus on categories facing competition from e-commerce, notably white and brown goods. As a result of this rationalisation, the hypermarkets' total retail space decreased by -1.6% inducing a lift in total sales/sqm by +2.2%. Traffic and total volumes were positive. The banner continued to gain market share: +0.1pt over the last Kantar P13 period.
· Leader Price's reported sales were notably impacted in Q4 by the closure of 45 integrated stores and transfers to franchise during the year. The change in sales improved significantly on a comparable basis from -2.7% in Q3 2016 to +0.1% in Q4 2016.
· The change in same-store sales at Monoprix improved sharply in Q4 at +0.4% vs -2.3% in Q3 2016. As well, organic growth improved to +2.5% compared with +0.8% in Q3. In non-food, apparel sales rose by +5.5% on a same-store basis in Q4. In food, sales were up +2.4% on an organic basis, thanks to a significant improvement on a same-store basis. The banner's expansion was dynamic, with 14 new stores opened during the quarter and 60 over the full year(3).
· Same-store sales at Supermarchés Casino have continued to accelerate since the beginning of the year, rising by +3.2% in Q4. This very good performance reflects increase in the average basket and in customer traffic, driven in particular by fresh products, strong commercial momentum and improved customer service. Market share widened by +0.1 pt over the last Kantar P13 period.
· At Franprix, same-store sales declined by -1.7%. Customer traffic was up +0.4% (+0.6% in Paris). Over the past 12 months, total growth has been impacted by the transfer of 50 stores to franchises, the closing of 30 stores and by renovations to the new Mandarine concept, which represented 60% of the store base at year-end.
· Convenience continued to upgrade the offering of its integrated stores and to further develop franchise. Franchise sales were up +6.5%.
