- Q4 CONSOLIDATED REVENUES OF €137.9M
- Q4 RETURN TO GROWTH IN BTOC SEGMENT DRIVEN BY TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS
- STRONG FUNDAMENTALS WITH GROWTH POTENTIAL
Olivier de la Clergerie, LDLC Group CEO, said: "The LDLC Group posted full-year 2024/2025 revenues of €534.5m, down by 6.5% versus 2023/2024. The financial year unfolded amid a complex economic and political environment that curbed investments by businesses and demand among consumers, with both groups preferring to postpone or reduce their spending. Nevertheless, fourth quarter performance marked an improvement, driven by a new cycle of innovation.
Confident in the strength of its market fundamentals, the LDLC Group pursued its development projects in anticipation of the next growth cycle. The acquisition of Rue du Commerce and the gradual expansion of its offering, along with the upcoming opening of the new flagship store on Place de la Madeleine in Paris, should enable the Group to strengthen its brand awareness and positioning among the general public and capture new market share.
We remain committed to overcoming this challenging period and confident in our ability to take advantage of our market recovery as soon as the trend is confirmed."
