THIRD-QUARTER 2021 SALES INC. VAT
In a context still marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and evolving
sanitary conditions across its different markets, the Group’s
third-quarter activity confirmed its good commercial momentum.
Carrefour continued to gain market share in the vast majority of
its countries, thanks to the improvement in customer satisfaction,
which is at the heart of the Carrefour 2022 strategic plan. The
Group’s expansion also continues at a steady pace, thanks to
numerous organic openings as well as the successful integration of
recent acquisitions. E-commerce sales continued to grow on
extremely high comparables. The Group will provide a comprehensive
presentation of its digital strategy during its Digital Day, which
will be held in Paris on November 9.
On a like-for-like (LFL) basis, third-quarter sales inc. VAT
were up +0.8%. The Group’s sales inc. VAT reached €20,468m
pre-IAS 29, an increase of +4.6% at constant exchange rates. This
increase includes a favorable petrol effect of +2.0% (reflecting an
increase in oil prices and higher volumes). After taking into
account an unfavorable exchange rate of -0.7%, due to the weakness
of the Argentine peso, the total sales variation at current
exchange rates amounted to +4.0%. The impact of the application of
IAS 29 was +€112m.
In France, Q3 2021 revenue was down -0.3% on a LFL basis
(+0.8% LFL in food and -7.1% LFL in non-food) in a declining
market, given a high comparable base. Hypermarkets were temporarily
impacted by the introduction of the sanitary pass, restricting
access to large shopping malls from mid-August to the end of
September. Excluding the impact of the sanitary pass, LFL growth in
France is estimated at +0.5% in Q3. Market share continued to
improve over the quarter, with gains in most formats3. On a two
year stack4, reported LFL growth reached +3.5%.
- Hypermarkets: Good resilience
(-2.8% LFL in Q3/-0.3% over 2 years), given a high comparable base
(+2.5% LFL in Q3 2020) and the temporary impact of the introduction
of the sanitary pass
- Supermarkets (+2.2% LFL in
Q3/+7.1% over 2 years) maintained their good momentum and continued
to gain market share3
- Convenience (+1.2% LFL in Q3/+6.5%
over 2 years) remained well oriented. Carrefour continued the
expansion of this growth format with +63 openings in the third
quarter
- Promocash’s activities posted
sustained LFL growth of +8.5%, thanks to the recovery of sales to
bars and restaurants
- Non-food sales remained up by
+2.7% on a LFL basis over 2 years (+9.9% LFL in Q3 2020)
- Food e-commerce in France grew
again strongly this quarter (+19%), a growth of +72% vs 2019.
Carrefour continues to deploy many initiatives in this field,
notably the recent acquisition of a minority stake in Cajoo, a
French pioneer in quick commerce
In Europe, LFL sales were down -1.2% compared to Q3 2020,
but up +0.6% over two years. This reflects situations that were not
uniform across countries:
- In Spain (-2.3% LFL/+3.9% over 2 years), the market was
marked by strong out-of-home consumption benefiting convenience
formats at the expense of hypermarkets, to which Carrefour is
particularly exposed. In this context, the Group continued to gain
market share. Supersol’s integration continued successfully
- In Italy (+0.8% LFL/-7.2% over 2 years), sales growth
returned to positive territory. The Group is starting to benefit
from the restructuring and recovery plan initiated by the new
management, with a sharp NPS increase, driven by a strong
improvement in price perception
- In Belgium (-5.4% LFL/stable over 2 years), the
performance reflects the declining market, marked by deflationary
pressures on food and a high comparable base, as the summer period
in 2020 benefited from high domestic tourism in the sanitary
context
- In Poland(+0.9% LFL/-0.5% over 2 years), the Group
maintained positive momentum
- In Romania (+5.9% LFL/+5.9% over 2 years), the trend
remained very solid, in the wake of an excellent second quarter.
Carrefour successfully launched a new loyalty program in the
country
In Latin America, LFL sales increased by +7.3%, and by
+35.7% over two years.
- In Brazil (-1.8% LFL/+24.2% over 2 years), LFL sales
decreased slightly in Q3, given an exceptionally high comparable
base. Over 2 years (+24.2% LFL), the trend marked an acceleration
compared to H1 (+18.6% LFL). Q3 sales were up +7.7% at constant
exchange rates thanks to a contribution from openings and
acquisitions of +8.4% and a positive petrol effect of +1.1%. The
currency effect was a favorable +2.1%.
- Atacadão’s sales were up +14.3% at
constant exchange rates in Q3 2021 with a continued increase in LFL
sales (+2.7% LFL/+28.4% over 2 years) on a very high comparable
base (+25.8% LFL in Q3 2020). This confirms the strength of
Atacadão’s model, which proved able to accelerate strongly its
expansion (+48 stores over the last 12 months, including Makro)
while improving the performance of the existing store network
- Carrefour Retail’s sales were down
in Q3 (-13.3% LFL/+13.2% over 2 years), due to a drop in non-food
sales given an exceptionally high comparable base (+44% LFL in Q3
2020). Over two years, sales grew both in food and in non-food
- Food e-commerce accelerated in Q3,
with growth of +53%, notably driven by the rapid ramp-up at
Atacadão; cash & carry now represents more than half of food
e-commerce sales in Brazil
- Financial services continued the
recovery initiated at the beginning of the year; billings were up
+26% in Q3, notably thanks to the success of the Atacadão credit
card
- In Argentina (+57.0% LFL/+98.4% over 2 years), Carrefour
confirmed its excellent momentum, in a persistently high
inflationary environment. Carrefour largely outperformed the
market, thanks to record growth excluding inflation, driven by an
increase in volumes despite a declining market
In Taiwan (Asia), Q3 sales were up +16.8% at
constant exchange rates, thanks notably to the integration of
Wellcome stores. LFL sales were down -5.2% (-4.5% over 2 years),
impacted by the sanitary measures that penalized important festive
events in the country. Wellcome stores, whose conversion to
Carrefour banners will be finalized in November, significantly
outperform when converted.
FURTHER DISPOSALS OF NON-STRATEGIC REAL ESTATE ASSETS
As part of its plan to dispose €300m additional non-strategic
real estate assets by 2022, the Group sold the real estate of 7
hypermarkets in Spain in September, through a sale & lease-back
agreement with Realty Income, for €93m.
To date, the Group has disposed an additional €250m of
non-strategic real estate assets.
FURTHER TRANSFORMATION OF THE OPERATING MODEL
In October, Carrefour Italy announced, as part of a broad
recovery plan, an acceleration of its transformation, that notably
includes the transfer to a franchising model of over 50 stores in
2021 and 25 in the first quarter of 2022.
In France, the Group will have transferred 10 hypermarkets and
44 supermarkets to lease-management this year. A new program of 43
stores (16 hypermarkets and 27 supermarkets) was announced, with
the first transfers expected starting in March 2022.
LIMITED IMPACT OF INFLATIONARY PRESSURES EXPECTED IN
2021
The Group pays particular attention to the dynamics of
inflation, notably regarding energy and food prices. The impact of
the increase in commodity prices has had a limited impact on the
Group’s performance to date, as it benefits from contracts
negotiated for the whole year for most of its purchases in Europe,
including goods not for resale. For now, the Group does not
anticipate any material effect of inflation on its full-year 2021
performance.
NET FREE CASH FLOW OBJECTIVE CONFIRMED
In this context, and given its good operational performance in
the third quarter, the Group confirms its net free cash-flow
generation objective for 2021, which continues to be expected
comfortably above the initial objective of €1bn.
AGENDA
- Digital Day : November 9, 2021
APPENDIX
Share capital decrease by way of cancellation of treasury
shares
On October 20, 2021, the Board of Directors, pursuant to the
authorization granted by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting,
decided to decrease the share capital of Carrefour S.A. by way of
cancellation of 12,252,723 treasury shares representing
approximately 1.6 % of the share capital.
These shares were repurchased from August 2, 2021 to September
13, 2021 within the framework of the €200 million share buyback
program decided by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2021.
After the cancellation of these shares, the outstanding number
of Carrefour S.A. shares will be 775,895,892 and the number of
treasury shares will hence be 9,457,539, representing approximately
1.2 % of the share capital. The number of shares carrying voting
rights will thus stand at 766,438,353.
Third-quarter 2021 sales inc. VAT

favorable impact of +2.0%. The calendar effect was a favorable
+0.1%. The effect of openings was +0.9%. The effect of acquisitions
was +2.1%. The impact of the application of IAS 29 was +€112m.
