Darty: 16% of total sales now from online business

The total group revenue from November 1, 2015, to January 31, 2016 increased by 2.6% and 4% when excluding Mistergooddeal.com. The like-for-like figures increased by 2.7%. Sales increased in all major product categories, with the exception of multimedia, a market which remained weak. Smartphone sales were particularly strong and TV sales recorded a second consecutive quarter rise. Online sales are up 12% (excluding Mistergooddeal.com). It now represents 16% of total product sales. This evolution is based on a growth of 53% of Click & Collect particularly in France, which reached a record level of 64% of online sales on Christmas Eve.
