During the first nine months of 2016/2017, i.e., between 1 March 2016 and 30 November 2016, the Orchestra-Prémaman Group posted consolidated revenue of €461.7m, up +9.0% compared with the same period last year.
Revenue growth was driven by:
the increase in the number of m² operated under the Orchestra brand run as branches or under commission-affiliation (287,000m² at 30 November 2016 versus 260,000m² at 29 February 2016),
strong growth in the childcare business: +56.4% over the first nine months of 2016/2017; revenue from the childcare business totalled €81.5m and now accounts for close to 18% of total business.
Business was up 5.5% in France (where the Group generated 62.8% of its revenue for the period) and up 15.3% abroad (driven by a strong increase of 17.5% in Belux which now enjoys an entirely restructured and refurbished network).
The commission-affiliation business was up 4.8%; that of branches, driven by the ramping up of Large Format stores ("mixed stores and megastores" of more than 800m²), which are currently mostly run as branches, climbed 11.6%.
At 30 November 2016, nearly 1.8 million customers owned a Club card, up 7.6% compared to 30 November 2015. The Group continues to generate more than 91% of its revenue with customers who are members of the Club.
Internet business progressed well over the period, with revenue climbing +20.1%.
Revenue generated by Large Format stores ("mixed stores and megastores" of more than 800m²) which sell children's clothes, maternity and childcare items under the same roof, opened in peri-urban out-of-town areas by the Group since 2013, reached €178.0m for the first nine months of 2016/2017, up 37.5% compared with the same period last year.
The textile store network (300m² to 500m²) generated revenue of €271.4 m (including the Internet business) during the same period, i.e., a drop of 5%, reflecting the transformation of our network towards the large format approach.
