AMSTERDAM – February 17, 2022, 08:30 CET Cnova N.V. (Euronext Paris: CNV; ISIN: NL0010949392) (“Cnova”) today announced its fourth quarter and full year activity and unaudited financial results.
2021 Highlights
In 2021, the group continued to accelerate on its three strategic pillars while enhancing customer experience: growing marketplace revenues (+29% vs. 2019), digital marketing (+75% vs. 2019) as well as its B2B initiatives with Octopia (x3 vs. 2019) and C-Logistics.
Customer-centric approach was still at the heart of Cdiscount’s ecommerce platform strategy in 2021. Active customer base grew by +8% vs. 2019 and is more and more engaged: Cdiscount à Volonté (CDAV) loyalty program now consists of more than 2.5m customers (+20% vs. 2019) driving retention and repurchase. Customer satisfaction has reached a record-high level for both direct sales & marketplace with NPS reaching 52.9 overall, +8.4pts vs. 2019, thanks to a growing express delivery share and a “Say yes to the client” policy reaching 100% for CDAV members & new clients.
The Marketplace, now representing 45.2% (+6.7pts vs. 2019) of the product GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume), is the main driver of Cnova’s profitable growth with GMV growing by +22% over the last two years. During the same period, revenues rose sharply at +29% to reach €193m. The number of sellers reached more than 13,000 with a record-high quality level (48.4 NPS, +10.9pts vs. 2019) supported by the development of the Fulfilment by Cdiscount and Cdiscount Express seller services.
Digital marketing revenues nearly doubled in 2 years, driving profitability thanks to Cdiscount Ads Retail Solution (CARS), Cnova’s in-house digital marketing bidding platform mainly driven by Sponsored products and Google Shopping.
The third pillar of the strategy, B2B development, also recorded a record-high 2021 period. C-Logistics and C Chez Vous launched 20 clients. Octopia, the tech-enabled ecosystem of marketplaces, experienced strong GMV growth while 12 contracts were signed with major e-merchants in 7 countries in just one year. A partnership with Ocado was just signed to integrate Octopia's marketplace platform into Ocado Smart Platform ("OSP") and allow OSP partners around the world to launch their own marketplace offering.
Emmanuel Grenier, Cnova CEO, commented:
« After an exceptional 2020, we continued in 2021 to successfully roll-out our strategic plan based on 3 pillars: marketplace expansion and digital marketing roll-out for the B2C ecommerce platform and the acceleration of B2B thanks to the sustained commitment of our teams.
B2C business GMV is benefiting from our record-high customer satisfaction and the dynamic marketplace. We significantly enhanced customer experience on the website and the mobile platform, leveraging on artificial intelligence innovation throughout the customer journey. Search engine as well as personalization of products and promotions will continue to be high priorities in 2022.
B2B activities experienced great commercial and delivery successes, as proven by our partnership with Ocado. 2022 will record a major step with the first full implementations of Octopia marketplace solutions and increased developments from C-Logistics.
At the same time, we are proud to have been recognised as a “Great Place to Work” by our employees. We also further strengthened our actions to reduce supply-chain impact on environment. »

Net sales amounted to €2,166m in 2021, a -1.3% compared to 2019 (-2.6% compared to 2020). Net sales evolution is impacted by the acceleration of the profitable shift of product sales towards marketplace sales, which are only recognized for the associated commissions.
Gross margin was €480m in 2021 and accounted for 22.2% of Net sales, a +4.5 points improvement compared to 2019 (+0.9 pt vs. 2020). It benefited from increasing marketplace revenues as well as the development of Digital Marketing9.

Marketing costs represented 4.9% of Net sales (+1.0 pt vs. 2020; +1.2 pt vs. 2019) due to increased acquisition and media expenses that supported the increase in market share in the 2nd half of 2021. Technology & Content costs progressed at 3.6% of Net sales (+0.7 pt vs. 2020; +1.1 pt vs. 2019) driven by investments in B2C monetization, the development of Cnova technological platform, as well as intensified commercial effort on Octopia.
EBITDA reached €109m, a €27m improvement vs. 2019 and a decrease of -€24m vs. 2020. Before rents, 2021 EBITDA amounted to €77m.
Operating EBIT reached €18m, a €4m improvement vs. 2019 and a decrease of -€35m compared to 2020, with depreciation and amortization growing by €9.8m vs. 2020 due to the development of new B2B assets especially the Octopia platform.
Net financial expenses amounted to €53m, slightly improving thanks to better risk management on instalment payment solution that offset the increase in financing costs.
Net loss from continuing operations increased by €16m vs. 2019 (a decrease of -€30m vs. 2020) to reach €(46)m with an adjusted EPS of €(0.12)16.

Change in working capital of €(44)m mainly driven by exceptional circumstances in 2020 and at the end of 2021 (+€72m change in working capital in 2019): (i) increase in inventories at end 2021 due to exceptional shortages at end 2020 (ii) additional strategic inventories (semiconductors crisis, etc) purchased at the end of 2021 (iii) activity slowdown in the last two months of the year vs. lockdown period in the comparable period last year.
Taking into account cash from financing activities, mainly related to 4-instalment payment cost of risks, net financial debt increased by €125m over the last twelve months to reach €(326)m.
Key Business Achievements
Enhanced customer experience and record high NPS
Delivery times improved this year by 0.5 day (and by 0.8 day vs. 2019) thanks to the increase in express delivery, the Cdiscount Fulfilment and Cdiscount Express seller assortment enlargement (+91% vs. 2020; x 2.4 vs. 2019) and fewer goods shipped from non-European countries.
Cnova also carried on its “Say yes to the customer” policy, with now 100% positive and immediate answers to Cdiscount A Volonté customers and new clients claims as well as proactive preventive actions for any abnormal event happening during the customer journey.
As a result the overall NPS reached 52.9, with a significant +8.4 pts improvement over 2 years (+5.7 pts vs. 2020), in line with Cnova’s constant efforts over the past years.

Very promising Marketplace-as-a-Service commercial ramp-up (12 new major contracts with 8 in the 4th quarter alone), still accelerating:

Corporate Social Responsibility
Cnova maintained its CSR strategy to promote access to products and services to as many people as possible, while building a sustainable and inclusive European digital economy, addressing major ecommerce stakes.

Transportation: C-Logistics joined the Fret 21 initiative (led by ADEME and French Ministry of Sustainable Development) and committed to an additional 7% reduction of Cdiscount.com GHG emissions by 2023, based on 2020 emissions.
