This quarter, currencies and petrol both had a favorable impact of +3.9% and +1.3% respectively. The calendar effect was particularly strong at -1.6%, notably due to the fact that Easter is in the second quarter this year and there was one less trading day in Q1 2017 as 2016 was a leap year.

Total sales under banners including petrol stood at €25.7bn in the first quarter of 2017, up +4.7% at current exchange rates.

Carrefour posted solid growth in the first quarter of 2017, with sales of €21.3bn, up 6.2%. This performance once again underscores the relevance of Carrefour’s multiformat model and the good balance of its country portfolio. Food sales showed solid growth, rising by 5.9% in the quarter. Carrefour’s omnichannel approach continued to gain momentum with a significant increase of +34% in Group Gross Merchandise Value this quarter.

This quarter was marked by a particularly strong calendar effect of -1.6%, due to the fact that Easter is in the second quarter this year and there was one less trading day in Q1 2017 as 2016 was a leap year. Carrefour benefited this quarter from a favorable currency effect of +3.9%, due to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real. The petrol effect was also favorable, at +1.3%.

Sales in international activities were up +10.9% in the first quarter of 2017. This performance takes into account a negative calendar effect of -1.8% and a positive currency effect of +7.3%. Like-for-like sales growth was solid, at +2.1%, driven by a +2.8% increase in food sales.

In Latin America, like-for-like sales were up +7.8% (+11.7% on an organic basis), a solid performance. The currency effect was +22.1%.

In Brazil, the roll-out of Carrefour’s multiformat model continues to bear fruit in an environment marked by high unemployment and a slowdown in inflation in Q1. In this context, Carrefour posted a good performance, with like-for-like sales up +5.6% (+10.5% on an organic basis). Carrefour’s success in the country reflects the continued progression of Atacadão and hypermarkets as well as further openings of convenience stores under the Express banner. Like-for-like sales in Argentina were up +14.6% in a difficult economic environment.

  • Positive momentum continued in Italy, where like-for-like sales were up +1.6%, on the back of strong comparables in Q1 2016 (+4.5%) ;
  • Like-for-like sales remained very dynamic in Poland and in Romania.

In a first quarter marked by an unfavorable calendar effect and a very competitive environment, France showed good resilience and posted sales growth (+0.8% in total). For the fifth year in succession, food sales were up in the first quarter, with a like-for-like increase of +1.3%.

Total sales at hypermarkets were down -0.8% (-1.6% LFL) in an environment that remained highly promotional throughout the quarter. Other formats continued to perform well, with total supermarket sales up +1.1% (+2.2% LFL) and total sales in convenience and other formats continuing to be particularly solid at +5.5% (+4.4% LFL), benefiting from the growth of e-commerce and the positive momentum of ex-DIA stores converted to Carrefour banners for more than 12 months.
