 H1 2024: Con nua on of the transforma on in contrasted markets

 Carrefour  reported  solid  financial  results  in  contrasted  markets  and  con nued  to  implement  its  strategic  roadmap at a rapid pace during the first half of the year.

 France 's  opera ng  performance  was  sa sfactory  and  in  line  with  the  ambi on  expressed  at  the  beginning  of  the  year.  Carrefour  invested  heavily  in  its  compe veness  during  the  first  half , significantly   reposi oning  against  all  its  compe tors, with  price  posi oning   returning  to  pre-peak infla on  levels.  As   a  result,  NPS®  increased  by  +6 points  and  market  share  in  volume  stabilized   since  May.  These  investments  were financed  by   strict  cost  discipline  (€580m  achieved  at  Group level   in H1)  and   the  ramp-up of  Carrefour  2026  ini a ves,   including  private  labels,  e-commerce,  retail  media  and  transfers  to  lease  management  or  franchise.  ROI  was  up +6.2 % to €286m, with opera ng margin up +14bps.

During  the   first half,   Carrefour France  integrated  23   ex-Casino  stores and   finalized the   acquisi on  of  60  Cora hypermarkets  and   115 Match   supermarkets on  July   1 st   .  These  opera ons strengthen   Carrefour's  posi on  in  France, par cularly   in the   North and  East  of  the   country,  offering  an  ideal  geographical match  to  Carrefour's   network across  the  country.  The  integra on  of  Cora/Match   started  on  the  day  of  acquisi on  and  is  progressing  very  sa sfactorily.  As  a  reminder,  the  Group  plans  to convert   all Cora  stores  to  the   Carrefour banner  before   the end   of  the year.  The   Match  banner  will be   retained  and deployed.   Meanwhile,  166  new convenience  stores  joined  the  franchise  network   in  France  in H1.   Carrefour France  plans  to  open  at  least  200  addi onal convenience   stores  in  H2, which  would   lead  to  a  record number   of franchise  openings  in   one  year,  confirming the strong brand equity and a rac veness of the Carrefour franchise for retail entrepreneurs. 

 In  Europe ,  the  Group  faced  a  challenging  market  environment ,  marked  by  very  adverse  weather  condi ons  in  most  countries  in  Q2,  impac ng  seasonal  categories,  par cularly  non-food  items,  and  traffic  in  hypermarkets.  At  the  same  me,  Carrefour  invested  in  its  compe veness. Besides,   the Group   completed  the  acquisi on of   40  SuperCor  stores  in  Spain and  con nued   to  integrate  former  ex-Cora  stores  in Romania,  which  also   affected short-term profitability. The region's ROI declined to €84m. 

In   Brazil, Carrefour  confirmed  its  accelera on,   with  ROI  up  +45.7%  to €366m.   The  Group  reaped  the  benefits  of  its  strategic  ini a ves ,  which contributed   to  the  Group's profitability   in  the country:  rapid   ramp-up of   converted  former  Grupo BIG  stores,   op miza on  of  the  store  por olio  in the  Retail  segment  ( disposal of  loss-making   supermarkets,  conversions of  Carrefour   stores  to  Atacadão  and  Sam’s Club)  and  strong  growth  in  e-commerce   (GMV  up  +46%  in H1).  Atacadão,   price  leader  in  the Brazilian   food retail  market,  con nued   to improve its compe veness while increasing its opera ng margin.

 Meanwhile, the  Group  achieved  more  than   R$2.3bn  Grupo BIG  synergies  on  an  annualized  basis ,  exceeding   the ini al 2025 target of R$2.0bn, which is thus  raised to R$3.0bn

              With solid performance in Argen na,  La n America’s  ROI increased significantly to €417m (+37.3%). 

These results were supported by the success of Carrefour 2026 plan ini a ves: 

●     European  mutualiza on  con nued .  The  Eureca  purchasing  pla orm  kept  expanding,  with  21  ac ve  partners  among  the  Group’s  main  suppliers.  By  end-2024,  close  to  30%  of  na onal  brand  procurement  will  be centralized at the European level, in line with the 50% 2026 objec ve

●     Carrefour  private labels   met  with  growing  success. They   now  represent  37% of   food  sales,  up  +2  pts  vs  last year

●     The  digital  strategy  con nued  to  bear  fruit:  e-commerce  kept  growing  steadily with   €2.8bn  GMV  in  H1,  up  +30%  vs  H1  2023.  Brazil's performance   was  par cularly  remarkable,  with a   +46%  increase  in GMV,   and  online penetra on of c.10% of total revenue

●     Meanwhile,  the  retail  media  business  is  expanding  rapidly.  The  “Unlimitail”  JV  with  Publicis  now  services  around 30 partners in 13 different countries, including food and non-food retailers

●     In   France,  all 16   planned hypermarkets   and 10   out of  21   announced  supermarkets  for 2024   have already  been  transferred to lease management 

●     Carrefour  once  again exceeded   its  CSR  objec ves , achieving  a  score  of   107%  for  its  CSR  and  Food  Transi on  Index  in  H1.  The  Group  has  been  par cularly  ac ve  in  the  fight  against  climate  change:  a  partnership  was  signed with  GreenYellow  for  the   produc on  of  photovoltaic  energy  across c.350 Carrefour  car  parks  in  France,   and  a  major  Power  Purchase  Agreement  was  signed  in  Spain, to   cover  c.30%  of  Carrefour’s  consump on  in  the  country  with  renewable  energies.  In  addi on,  47  out  of  Carrefour's  100  largest  suppliers  now  have  a  1.5°C  trajectory  (target  of  100%  by  2026,  failing  which  they  will  be  delisted),  and  Carrefour  partnered  with  ADEME  in  France  to  engage  its  smaller  suppliers  in  their  climate  policy  and  provide financial support

 Building  on  this  momentum,  the  Group  enters  the  second  half  with  confidence  and  confirms  its  financial  objec ves  for  FY  2024 :  growth  in  EBITDA  and  Recurring  Opera ng  Income,  and  Net  Free  Cash  Flow  in  line  with  the Carrefour 2026 plan trajectory.

 The Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games

 The  Paris  2024  Olympic  and  Paralympic  Games,  for  which  Carrefour  is  a  premium  partner,  kick  off  on  July  26.  This  is  the  first  me  that  a  leading  food  retailer  supports  the  World's  largest  spor ng  event.  The  Games  provide  an  unprecedented  showcase  for  the  promo on  of  Carrefour's  values,  in  par cular  on  the  inclusion  and  disability  topics,  and  for  the  Group’s  raison  d'être ,  the  food  transi on  for  all.  Carrefour  will  supply  all  fresh  products  used  for  the  athletes'  meals  at  the  Olympic  and  Paralympic  Village,  where  a  pop-up  store  has  also  been set up.

 In  France,  LFL  sales  declined  by  -2.0%  in  H1  and  by  -3.5%  in  Q2  2024.  This  trend  reflects  the  significant  slowdown  in  infla on,  exacerbated  by  Carrefour's  aggressive  pricing  investment  policy,  in  a  market  context  where  volumes  remained  slightly  nega ve.  Market  share  dynamics  is  gradually  improving,  with  volume  market  share  stabilizing during   the second   quarter and   returning  to growth   in  P07 [1]  .   In  Q2,  food  sales  decreased  by  -2.7%  LFL,  and  non-food  sales  were  down  -10.9%  LFL.  Quarterly  sales  were  nega vely  impacted  by  adverse  weather  condi ons,  which  weighed  on  the  sales  of  seasonal  products  (beverages,  tex le,  garden  furniture, etc.), nega vely impac ng traffic in hypermarkets.

 Recurring  opera ng  income  in  France  increased  by  +6.2%  to  €286m  in  H1  2024.  The  strong  cost  saving  momentum  made  it  possible  to  offset  price  investments  and,  in  line  with  the  objec ve  set  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  to  grow  opera ng  margin,  which  was  up  +14bps  to  1.6%  (vs  1.4%  in  H1  2023).  Recurring  Opera ng  Income  also  benefited  from  the  contribu on  of  the  strategic  ini a ves  of  the  Carrefour  2026  plan,  including  the  increase  in  sales  of  Carrefour  private  labels,  store  transfers  to  lease-management  and  franchise,  and  the  con nuous improvement in the profitability of digital ac vi es.

 Europe: Price investments and adverse weather condi ons impac ng traffic in hypermarkets

 Sales  in  Europe  (excluding  France)  were  down  -1.5%  on  a  like-for-like  basis  in  H1  2024,  in  a  context  of  slowdown  in  food  infla on.  They  were  down  -2.7%  on  a  like-for-like  basis  in  Q2  2024.  Western  European  markets  were  par cularly  affected  in  Q2  by  adverse  weather  condi ons,  impac ng  certain  product  categories,  notably non-food and seasonal items which are traffic drivers to the hypermarket format.

●     In  Spain  (-2.1%  LFL),  Carrefour  invested  in  its  price  compe veness against   its main   compe tors,  in  a market   where  the hypermarket   format  underperformed,  due to   lower traffic   generated  by  non-food  categories in Q2

●     In  Italy  (-5.4%  LFL),  the  Group  was  also  penalized  in  the  second  quarter  by  adverse  weather  condi ons,  while Q2 2023 experienced favorable weather condi ons

●     In  Belgium  (-3.8%  LFL),  sales  decreased  on  an  excep onal  comparable  base  (+12.5%  LFL  in  Q2  2023)  related  to  significant  disrup ons  at  a  compe tor  for  most  of  Q2  last  year.  Over  a  two-year  period,  the  trend was posi ve, reflec ng the success of the current commercial strategy

●     In  Romania  (+0.2%  LFL),  like-for-like  sales  were  slightly  up  in  Q2,  with  a  significant  slowdown  in  infla on  offset  by  improved  volume  momentum.  Carrefour  con nued  to  integrate  the  Cora  stores  acquired in Q4 2023

●     In  Poland  (-2.5%  LFL),  sales  improved  sequen ally  (a er  -4.2%  LFL  in  Q1  2024).  There  remained  down, in a market environment marked by intense compe                ve pressure since the beginning of the year

 La n America: Confirma on of the Inflexion in Brazil

 In H1 2024, sales in La n America rose by +46.2% LFL. In Q2 2024, they grew by +44.5% LFL:

●     In  Brazil ,  LFL sales   were  up  +6.0%  in  Q2  2024,  with  a  strong  accelera on  in  May  and  June,  driven by  growing   volumes  and  growing  food  infla on.  Growth  at constant   exchange  rate  reached  +4.9%  in  Q2.  The currency effect was unfavorable at -3.9% for the quarter.

o    Atacadão  sales  posted  a  strong  +7.4%  LFL  growth  in  Q2,  significantly  improving  compared  to  Q1  2024  (+1.8%  LFL).  This  performance  was  driven  by  both  B2C  and  B2B  customers,  whose  ac vity  returned  to  normal.  The  rollout  of  service  counters  con nued,  with  80  stores  equipped  at  end-June  and  very  encouraging  ini al  results,  promp ng  Atacadão  to  raise  its  deployment  target  to  over  150  stores  equipped  by  the  end  of  the  year.  Sales  at  ex-Grupo  BIG  stores  converted to Atacadão, which represent 11.5% of the segment, grew by +21.4% LFL in Q2

o    Carrefour  Retail  sales  were  up  +2.3%  LFL  in  Q2  a er  -1.4%  LFL  in  Q1  2024.  Non-food  sales  were  par cularly  dynamic,  up +7.5 %  LFL.  The  conversion  of  hypermarkets  to  Atacadão  and  Sam’s

o    E-commerce  GMV  con nued  to  grow  strongly,  up  +41%  in  Q2  2024,  and  represented  close  to

10               % of total revenues in Brazil  o  The  financial  services  ac vity  con nued  to  progress  in  Q2,  with  an  increase  of  +19.0%  in  credit  por olio and +13.0% in billings

 Recurring Opera ng Income for La n America was up +37.3% in H1 2024, to €417m vs €304m in H1 2023.

●     In  Brazil ,  ROI  increased  by  +45.7%  to  €366m  compared  to  €251m  in  H1  2023.  Opera ng  margin  improved  by  +107bps  to  3.8%  (vs. 2.7 %  in  H1  2023).  This  growth  reflects  the  sound  performance  of  the  legacy  store  network  and  of  the  financial  services  ac vity, li ed   by  the  significant improvement   of  the  former Grupo BIG stores converted, which contributed posi vely to profits.

 The  conversion  of  Grupo  BIG  stores  has  been  completed  for  a  year  now,  and  the  synergies  achieved  at  end-June  amounted  to  R$2.3bn  on  an  annualized  basis,  exceeding  the announced   target  of  R$2.0bn,  18  months  ahead  of  the  ini al  schedule.  These  synergies  are  largely  related  to  cost op miza on,   while  commercial  synergies  are  posi ve  for  the first   me  in  H1  2024.  The  Group  remains  confident  in  the  commercial  momentum  of  the  converted  stores  and,  based  on  this,  is  raising  the  total  synergy  target  related to Grupo BIG to R$3.0bn by the end of 2025 .

●     In  Argen na ,  ROI  remained  broadly stable,  supported   by  strong  cost  discipline.  It  reached  €51m  vs  €53m  in  H1  2023,  represen ng  a  margin  of  3.3% (-11 bps),  including  a  €(5)m  impact  related  to  the  applica on of IAS 29

 H1 2024 INCOME STATEMENT

 H1  2024  sales  (including  VAT)  were  up  +12.1%  on  a  like-for-like  basis .  Group  sales  including  VAT  amounted  to  €44,863m  pre-IAS  29,  up  +10.5%  at  constant  exchange  rates.  This  increase  included  the  effect  of  expansion  and  changes  in  Group  scope  (-0.3%),  the  calendar  effect  (+0.1%)  and  the  petrol  effect  (-1.5%).  A er  taking  into  account  a  nega ve  currency  effect  of  -11.7%,  linked  to  the  deprecia on  of  the  Argen ne  peso,  total  sales  were  down -1.3%.

 Gross  margin  stood  at  19.4%  of  net  sales,  compared  with  19.8%  in  H1  2023.  This  decrease  of  -37bps  primarily  reflects the price investment strategy, as well as the evolu on of the integrated/franchised store mix.

 Distribu on  costs  improved  by  53bps  to  15.1%  of  net  sales,  compared  with  15.6%  in  H1  2023,  due  to  strong  cost discipline.

 The  Group's  Recurring  Opera ng  Income  (ROI )  reached  €743m,  compared  with  €700m  in  H1  2023,  up  +6.2%  and  +24.9%  at  constant  exchange  rates  (the  currency  effect  was  a  nega ve  €(130)m,  notably  due  to  the  deprecia on  of  the  Argen ne  peso).  On  the  back  of  contrasted  commercial  dynamics,  the  Group  successfully  implemented its cost saving plan, with €580m achieved in H1 2024.

 Opera ng margin increased +11bps to 1.8%, compared with 1.7% in H1 2023.

 Non-recurring  income  improved  to  €(126)m,  compared  with  €(186)m  in  H1  2023,  mainly  thanks  to  lower  reorganiza on charges.

 Net income, Group share  reached €25m, vs €867m in  H1 2023. It includes the following items:

●     Net  financial  expenses  up  €155m  to  €(430)m  (vs  €(276)m  in  H1  2023).  Net  cost  of  debt  was  rela vely  stable  (€(198)m  vs  €(191)m  in  H1  2023),  as  well  as  net  interests  related  to  lease  commitment  (€(111)m  vs  €(100)m  in  H1  2023).  Reversely,  “other  financial  income  and  expenses”  strongly  decreased  ((€121)m  charge  vs  €15m  income  in  H1  2023),  essen ally  due  to  the  applica on  of  IAS  29  related  to  the  hyperinfla on accoun ng in Argen na

●     Income  tax  of  €(164)m,  compared  with  €(153)m  in  H1  2023.  The  norma ve  tax  rate  was  fairly  stable  at

 27.6% [2]   vs 27.2% in H1 2023

●     Net  income  from  discon nued  opera ons,  Group  share ,  of  €(1)m,  compared  with  €749m  in  H1  2023

 (which was related to the capital gain recorded following the sale of the stake in Carrefour Taiwan)

 Adjusted net income, Group share  [3]  , amounted to €313m  vs. €306m in H1 2023.

 Adjusted EPS  3  amounted to €0.46 vs. €0.42 in H1 2023.

 CASH FLOW AND DEBT

 The Group reported €(1,704)m in  Net Free Cash Flow [4]   in H1 2024, close to the H1 2023 level of €(1,684)m.

 This rela ve stability €(21)m mainly reflects:

●     A €64m increase in  EBITDA  to €1,916m  ●  A €63m increase in  income tax paid

●     A  €136m  increase  in  financial  expenses  (excluding  cost  of  debt)  linked  to  hyperinfla on  in  Argen na,  as explained in the P&L sec on

●     A  €149m  improvement  in  the  change  in  working  capital  requirements ,  thanks  to  op mized  inventory  management,  par cularly  in  non-food,  and  an  increase  in  trade  payables  in  Brazil  related  to  the  increase in volumes and higher infla on

●     A slight decrease of €27m in  capital expenditure ( Capex),  to €659m in H1 2024 (vs €687m in H1 2023)  ●  A €50m decrease in  asset disposals  to €239m

 During  the  first  half,  Carrefour  invested  in  real  estate  assets  for  €96m  (vs  €101m  in  H1  2023);  at  the  same  me,  the  Group  sold  for  €208m  of  real  estate  assets  (vs  €242m  in  H1  2023).  Adjusted  for  these  items,  Net  Free  Cash  Flow excluding real estate  slightly improved at €(1,816)m  vs €(1,825)m in H1 2023.

 Over the last 12 months, the Group generated €1,602m in Net Free Cash Flow.

 Net  financial  debt  reached  €5,418m  as  of  June  30,  2024,  compared  with  €5,040m  as  of  June  30,  2023.  This  increase reflects the following elements:

●     Dividend  payments  of  €636m,  including  €600m  in  ordinary  dividend  to  Group  shareholders,  as  well  as  dividends paid to minority shareholders

●     Acquisi ons  and  disposals  for  a  net  total  of  €145m,  including  notably  the  acquisi on  of  SuperCor  in  Spain

●     Share buybacks totalling €915m over the last 12 months

 These elements are offset by the Net Free Cash Flow genera on of €1,602m over the last 12 months.
