Emmanuel Grenier, Cnova CEO, commented:

“Throughout the quarter, we experienced a very strong GMV growth while accelerating the transformation of our business model. This led to a quicker improvement in profitability.

Our underlying growth driver was first and foremost a very dynamic traffic with a record-high 25 million Unique Monthly visitors in May alone, driving 1 million new clients to our website throughout the quarter.

The marketplace really took off with almost 40% growth to reach a record-high 46% GMV share, boosted by the Fulfillment by Cdiscount service performance while our direct sales model has shifted towards higher margin categories such as garden, DIY, sport and daily shop. In addition, free home delivery was extended, now available for all orders of €25 or more, while our customer delivery times significantly improved.

More traffic and more clients resulted in increased monetization. We developed this semester Cdiscount Ads Retail Solution (CARS), a self-care advertising platform available for both our sellers and suppliers, already showing promising results.

We are confident that our evolving business model combined with the development of our monetization initiatives will further support our profitable growth strategy.”

1st semester financial performance

Cnova N.V.
(€ millions)
First semester Change
2020 2019 Reported Organic
 GMV 1,946.4 1,753.6 +11.0% +12.0%
 Net sales 1,049.1 995.8 +5.4% +6.2%
 Gross profit 212.7 174.5 +21.9%  
 Gross margin 20.3% 17.5% +2.8 pts  
 SG&A (203.2) (188.3) +7.9%  
 Operating EBIT 9.5 (13.9) +23.4  
 EBITDA 48.4 18.1 +30.3  

Gross profit was €213 million in the 1st semester 2020, with an associated gross margin of 20.3%, a significant +2.8 points improvement compared to 2019. It benefited from the outstanding marketplace GMV share increase, an evolution of the product mix towards more recurring and high margins products along with the development of B2C and B2B monetization revenues.

SG&A costs amounted to €(203) million in the 1st semester 2020 and accounted for 19.4% of net sales, increasing by +0.5 points. Fulfillment costs, at 8.4% of net sales (+0.2 pt), increased with the full year impact of the July 2019 opening of a new 60,000 sqm warehouse in Andrézieux to handle the high heavy product growth. Marketing costs decreased to 3.7% of net sales (-0.2 pt) thanks to the optimized SEO performance that led to increased free traffic combined with limited offline media campaigns during the Covid-19 lockdown. Technology & Content costs progressed at 4.9% of net sales (+0.4 pt) driven by B2C and B2B monetization activities investments. General & Administrative expenses remained quite stable at 2.4% of net sales (+0.1 pt).

As a result, EBITDA experienced a significant +€30.3 million improvement in the 1st semester 2020 to reach €48.4m. EBITDA benefited from a solid marketplace and direct sales growth, a strong improvement of the core business profitability and increased monetization revenues.

Operating EBIT increased by €23.4m compared to 2019, with depreciation and amortization increasing by €7.0m due to B2C and B2B monetization activities investments.

Net financial expense, mainly related to installment payment solutions offered to customers, remained quite stable at €(25.2) million.

Net loss from continuing operations improved by +€18m y-o-y to finish at €(23.8) million with an adjusted EPS of €(0.07) benefiting from the profitability improvements.

Free cash flow before financial expenses amounted to €36 million in the last twelve months, relying on strong fundamentals:

  • Operating profitability increased at a fast pace with a significant positive EBITDA at €109m, up by +€49m;
  • Positive change in working capital of +€55m driven by inventory rationalization and a positive impact from the growing marketplace.

Other cash operating expenses and taxes totaled €(19)m, including €(4)m of Covid-19 impacts

Repayment & interests on lease liabilities (IFRS16 impact) amounted to €(32)m.

Capital expenditures were up to €(78)m but decreased as a percentage of GMV, supporting the implementation costs related to the strategic shift towards the platform model and monetization initiatives.

Taking into consideration net financial expenses and others (including discontinued operations), change in net financial debt amounted to €(18)m during the same period.

Key Business Achievements

Development of the marketplace and its related services

  • Marketplace activity accelerated during the 2nd quarter, gaining +6.2 points of GMV share, to reach 46.3%.
  • Expansion of express delivery eligible marketplace SKUs is a key driver of growth, customer satisfaction and CDAV development. Its main contributor is the Fulfillment by Cdiscount service, which grew quickly with a +41% GMV increase this quarter, supported by an extended offering that now encompasses 100,000 SKUs (+57% vs last year).

Expansion of the product offering

  • Following a rising demand for daily shop products, Cnova increased its existing offer with 2,000 products selected from Casino’s best sellers.

  • Delivery times improved this semester, with a reduction of -11%5 of the average delivery time between February 2020 (before lockdown) and June 2020 (after lockdown), thanks to a reduced packing time as well as an increased express delivery share.
  • Agrikolis opened 35 new pickup points during the 2nd quarter, to total 135 at end June 2020, thus improving our customer proximity. It reached a milestone by delivering the 100,000th package since the launch of the partnership in February 2019.

B2C services showed solid performance despite Covid-19 negative impact

  • Cdiscount Energie experienced a solid +57% GMV growth this quarter, supported by a very dynamic recruitment which reached a record-high number in June, to achieve a +79% subscribers’ base growth at the end of June compared to last year. In addition, Cnova expanded its offer by adding to its catalog a 100% green and French energy offer.
  • Cdiscount Mobile achieved in June its best month in terms of client recruitment since the launch of the offer and ended the semester with a +50% increase of customer base which in turn led to a doubling of GMV.

International expansion plan well on track

  • International GMV experienced a significant x2 GMV growth in the second quarter.
  • The international platform encompassed 88 directly connected websites as of end June, x2.5 compared to last year, enabling delivery in 25 countries.

      ·A new website dedicated to professional customers was launched this quarter, already showing promising results. New dedicated services are now offered such as a Pro Ad agency, Energy as well as a CDAV Pro loyalty program.

Monetization initiatives well advanced

  • The B2B monetization platform is a rising pillar of Cnova’s profitable growth. This quarter, Cnova launched Cdiscount Ads Retail Solution (CARS), its own 100% self-care advertising platform enabling both sellers and suppliers to bid to promote their products in the search engine.
  • This new platform strongly contributed to the solid +23% growth of overall B2B monetization this semester.

Corporate Social Responsibility: supporting people and the French economy during Covid-19

  • Cnova was also committed in supporting the French economy by:
    • Being a lead B2B masks supplier, with 40m masks provided to SMEs, professionals and public institutions with the support of the French government.
    • Maintaining French SMEs activity, with the implementation of a simplified marketplace enrollment along with a 6-month free offer
  • Cnova helped the people impacted by Covid-19 through several actions, among them:
    • Donations: more than 60k masks as well as home appliances (kettles, microwaves, …) for nursing staff, in addition to 1k tablets for hospitals and nursing homes
    • Logistic and supply support for the shipment of close to 10,000 tablets to isolated people across all France

Outlook

Confirmed by the sound first semester performance, profitable growth at the heart of Cnova’s strategy will be further developed around three main pillars:

  1. IFRS 16, which replaces IAS 17 and the related interpretations from January 1st, 2019, eliminates the distinction between operating leases and finance leases: it requires recognition of an asset (the right to use the leased item) and a financial liability representative of discounted future rentals for virtually all lease contracts. Operating lease expense is replaced with depreciation expense related to the right of use and interest expense related to the lease liability. Previously, the Group recognized mainly operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and recognized assets and liabilities only to the extent that there was a timing difference between actual lease payments and the expense recognized. The Group decided to adopt the full retrospective approach as a transition method on January 1, 2019
  2. SG&A: selling, general and administrative expenses.
  3. Operating EBIT: operating profit/(loss) before other expenses (strategic and restructuring expenses, litigation expenses and impairment and disposal of assets expenses).
  4. Adjusted EPS: net profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of Cnova before other expenses and the related tax impacts, divided by the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares of Cnova during the applicable period.
