Q1 2013: strong growth in business
with sales of ?13.3m (+19% on a like-for-like basis)
In the first quarter of 2013, the LeGuide group pursued strong growth in its
business with consolidated (non-audited) sales revenue of ?13.3 million, up by
19% on a like-for-like basis.
On a reported basis, including the impact of the acquisition of Ciao from 19
March 2012 onwards, sales revenue has increased by 51%.
This performance illustrates the effectiveness of the ambitious strategy
implemented by the LeGuide group to win market share. This has involved the
group focusing on innovation, adjusting its offering both for internet users
(multi-device offer, web-to-store service, rollout on marketplaces, and so on)
and for e-merchant clients. In line with this policy, LeGuide has also announced
closer ties with SFR, with the launch of the new "SFR Shopping" app: this allows
users to identify and locate the best-priced items available close at hand.
The group is also attracting an ever-increasing number of e-merchants, reaching
80,400 of them as of March 2013 (up by 4,200 in one year).
With an audience now standing at 25.5 million unique visitors, the group
confirms its positioning as the leading shopping guide in Europe, France, Italy
and Spain, and its number 2 slot in Germany.
"The group's faster growth in the previous quarter has continued in this
excellent Q1. The structural work commenced in September - including the single
platform, the search engine and the expansion of the group's technological
capabilities - is starting to bear fruit and allowing the company to grow much
faster. Our staff are on a fully operational footing to support and consolidate
this progress," said Olivier Sichel, CEO of the LeGuide Group.
Next publication: Sales revenue for Q2 2013 due on 27 August 2013 after closing.
