Darty plc (DRTY.L) reported that its total Group revenue for the period 1 February 2016 to 30 April 2016 was up 12.8 percent and up 13.5 percent excluding Mistergooddeal.com. Like-for-like sales increased by 12.0 percent. The Group said it continued market outperformance in France with like-for-like sales up 16.0 percent, aided by vision switchover in April. The Group said sales during the period were particularly strong in vision driven by the switchover in France but also positive sales in all other major product categories apart from multi-media, where the market remained weak.
Régis Schultz, Chief Executive, said: "We saw an exceptional sales performance in France during the quarter as our service credentials made us the reference retailer for customer advice on the television switchover. As a result, we continued to outperform the market in France with Darty's like-for-like sales up 16 per cent and Belgium delivered a fourth successive quarter of positive like-for-like sales."
