BOOMING SALES FOR MATERIAL.NET AND STEP-UP OF STORE OPENINGS

Group CEO Olivier de la Clergerie made the following comments: "Q2 sales increased 54.2% to €116.9m, up 8.9% at constant consolidation scope. These results prove the merits of Material.net's strategy and are a concrete sign of the initial impact of its successful integration as well as sustained momentum in the online BtoC business and the ramp-up of our store chain. At 30 September 2016 we had 21 stores, with the number of openings doubling compared to the previous year; we are currently opening an average of more than one store per month.”

First half revenues totalled €221.1m, up 53.8% compared to the same period last year. At constant consolidation scope (excluding Materiel.net consolidated on 01/04/2016), revenues rose 10.2%.

The BtoC business posted revenues of €161.0m, up 78.5% including 9.1% at constant consolidation scope. LDLC store chain sales amounted to €20.2m in the first half, compared to €15.4m in H1 2015, representing growth of 30.8%.

The BtoB business, up 11.9% over the previous year, accounted for revenues of €54.4m for the period.

The other businesses increased by 14% to €5.7m, of which €3.8m was generated by Maginéa.

These performances are in line with the Group's target to post double-digit revenue growth in 2016/2017, plus an improvement in the EBITDA value.

The LDLC Group has set itself the goal of reaching the billion-euro revenue mark and an EBITDA margin of 5.5%-6.0% by 2021. By that time, the Group plans to have around 100 stores up and running.
