• CONSOLIDATED FULL-YEAR REVENUES OF €534.5M

• GROSS MARGIN RATE OF 21.2%, STILL WITHIN THE NORMALISED GROUP RANGE

• EBITDA DOWN TO €2.6M DUE TO DECLINE IN BUSINESS

• SOUND FINANCIAL BASE

• LDLC GROUP POISED TO CAPITALISE ON THE NEXT GROWTH CYCLE

Olivier de la Clergerie, LDLC Group CEO, said: “The 2024/2025 financial year was marked overall by a complex economic and political environment prompting consumers to exercise caution and companies to postpone certain investments, thereby impacting the Group's business activity. However, this situation did not affect the gross margin rate, which remained within the normalised range of 21-22%. The decline in sales coupled with inflationary pressure on expenses naturally impacted our earnings.

During this period, we took various steps, including organisational streamlining measures, to palliate the significant decline in business and strengthen our resilience to the market situation. Nevertheless, we remain confident in the fundamentals of the sector. Demand for high-tech products is set to return in light of technological innovations and growing consumer needs.

Thanks to the work we've done on costs, a solid financial base and investments to strengthen our brand awareness and positioning among the general public, in order to gain new market share, the LDLC Group is ready to take full advantage of a recovery in demand, as soon as the trend is confirmed, thereby returning to normalised profit margins.”

FY 2024/2025 OVERVIEW

Full-year revenues of €534.5m

Full-year 2024/2025 consolidated revenues fell 6.5% to €534.5m. At constant consolidation scope, revenues were down 7.6%.

Amid a challenging economic environment despite more favourable momentum towards the end of the financial year, BtoC revenues amounted to €378.3m, down 3.6% from FY 2023/2024. Rue du Commerce contributed €6.6m to full-year revenues. Store revenues came to €142.6m, up 0.9%.

Group business volumes including the LDLC franchise chain and the LDLC and Rue du Commerce marketplaces amounted to €565.9m (including a €16.9m contribution from Rue du Commerce), down 4.8% as reported and down 7.6% at constant consolidation scope.

BtoB revenues fell 13.0% to €144.3m, strongly impacted by the macroeconomic and political environment that prompted caution and the postponement of corporate investments.

350,000 new customer accounts (BtoC and BtoB, excluding stores) were created in 2024/2025 compared to 310,000 in 2023/2024. The Group average basket value edged up to €498 excl. VAT from €486 excl. VAT the previous year.

Other businesses posted total revenues of €11.9m, down 10.4% from €13.3m the previous year. L'Armoire de Bébé posted revenues of €8.0m, down 9.4%.

Sound gross margin rate sustained at 21.2%

Amid declining business activity, the gross margin rate came to 21.2%, in line with the Group's normalised range of 21-22% and reflecting the strength of LDLC Group's fundamentals and business model. Gross margin amounted to €113.3m for FY 2024/2025.

EBITDA of €2.6m

Despite the expansion of the store chain, inflationary pressure on rental and payroll expenses and the impact of the consolidation of the Rue du Commerce business acquired on 10 July 2024, operating expenses were contained, up only 0.4% year-on-year thanks to the Group's cost-cutting measures. Staff costs were down 1.7% before accounting for the effects of the two redundancy plans (Plan de Sauvegarde de l'Emploi, PSE) announced last March.

FY 2024/2025 EBITDA came to €2.6m, down from €11.4m the previous year due to the decline in business activity over the period.

After depreciation, amortisation and provisions, operating earnings (EBIT) after goodwill amortisation and impairment amounted to a €7.3m loss compared to a €1.4m profit the previous year.

The Group posted a net financial expense of €1.0m.

By decision dated 28 May 2025, the competent Regional Directorate for the Economy, Employment, Labour and Solidarity (Direction Régionale de l'Économie, de l'Emploi, du Travail et des Solidarités, DREETS) approved each of the collective agreements relating to the Groupe LDLC and Olys PSEs. After setting aside €5.2m in provisions to cover the PSEs, the Group posted a net non-recurring expense of €5.9m.

The Group posted a net loss (Group share) of €10.9m for the 2024/2025 financial year, compared to a €0.2m net loss the previous year.

Sound financial structure

Operating cash flow amounted to a €15.7m inflow in 2024/2025 thanks to a significant improvement in working capital (up €13.5m) driven by rigorous, streamlined inventory management.

Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to a €16.0m outflow, mainly related to the acquisition of the Rue du Commerce business assets along with an equity investment by LDLC INVEST in the LDLC Arena.

During the year, the LDLC Group repaid €9.9m of borrowings and took out new loans totalling €15.0m. The Group paid €2.5m in respect of the remaining dividend for the 2023/2024 financial year.

Overall, the Group generated a net cash inflow of €2.6m during the 2024/2025 financial year.

At 31 March 2025, the LDLC Group boasted a sound financial structure with net borrowings amounting to €6.3m (vs. €3.6m at 31 March 2024) and shareholders' equity of €90.2m, giving a limited net debt-to-equity ratio (gearing) of 7.0% (vs. 3.5% at 31 March 2024).

OUTLOOK

The slowdown in business activity against an unfavourable economic and political backdrop directly impacted Group margins for the 2024/2025 financial year. However, sector fundamentals remain strong, bolstered by technological innovation and the need to upgrade high-tech products.

The Group has already taken steps to optimise its cost structure and strengthen its resilience in order to cope with this challenging economic period. These measures and initiatives will begin to bear fruit during the present financial year. The full-year savings expected from these measures are currently estimated at around €6m.

The Group is also pursuing targeted development initiatives aimed at consolidating its positioning and strengthening its brand awareness among the general public.

Building on a sound financial base, the LDLC Group is therefore well poised to take full advantage of the next growth cycle, allowing a return to normalised profit levels.
