Maisons du Monde continued to navigate a challenging macroeconomic environment, marked by weak consumer spending and limited discretionary expenses.

This app won the award for Best In-Store Digital Service in the 8th edition of the 100% Omnichannel awards organized by LSA.
- Costs: Initiatives to streamline operations have already generated 50% of the annual savings objective on SG&A before inflation, notably including optimized structures at Head Office level and efficient management of working hours at store level.

ChangeSales 543.4 603.9 -10.0% Cost of goods sold (196.9) (217.2) -9.3% Gross margin 346.5 386.7 -10.4% As a % of Sales 63.8% 64.0% Store operating and central costs (157.1) (170.7) -8.0% Advertising costs (27.8) (32.1) -13.4% Logistics costs (76.4) (84.5) -9.6% Operating Costs (261.3) (287.3) -9.0% EBITDA 85.1 99.4 -14.3%
As a % of Sales 15.7% 16.5% Depreciation, amortization, and allowance for provisions (68.8) (70.9) -2.9% EBIT 16.3 28.4 -42.7% As a % of Sales 3.0% 4.7% Gross margin rate was resilient in H1 2023, at 63.8%, nearly stable compared to the same period last year.
This is the result of good management of the different components of gross margin, notably:- An agile and selective pricing strategy designed to effectively mitigate the impact of cost increases over time and a precise monitoring of additional promotional investments to support traffic and sales, in a context of strong competition on pricing.
- Productive negotiations with suppliers to maximize the positive effects of freight cost evolution and limit the impact of raw material inflation.
- An efficient hedging policy limiting the effect of USD variation in H1.
The marketplace also contributed positively, notably thanks to the ramp-up in Spain since its launch in Q2 2022, confirming the marketplace’s positive effect on Maisons du Monde’s economics.
This performance is in line with Maisons du Monde’s 2023 ambition to deliver gross margin of around 65% in full-year 2023. The expected improvement of freight costs will positively support a sequential improvement in gross margin in the second half of the year.
Store operating and central costs decreased by nearly €14 million yoy at €157.1 million.
Despite continued inflationary pressure on operating costs, all 3C plan cost initiatives are paying off and 50% of the annual cost savings of €25 million have already been achieved.Advertising expenses decreased by -13.4% yoy to €27.8 million. Disciplined management ensured both optimal capital allocation, notably prioritizing projects with the highest return on investment to drive customer traffic, as well as adjustments in some countries.
Logistics costs are below H1 2022 by -9.6% yoy, at €76.4 million, representing 14.1% of sales, similar to H1 2022. This decrease is related to a decline in volumes and the positive effects of efficiency measures implemented in such areas as transportation.
EBITDA was down €14.3 million to €85.1 million vs €99.4 million in H1 2022. Overall, the measures taken as part of the 3C plan resulted in a -9% adjustment in operating costs over the half-year. This helped contain the impact of sales decrease on EBITDA margin to 80bps, at 15.7% in H1 2023 compared to 16.5% in H1 2022.
D&A expenses decreased by €2.1 million at €68.8 million compared to €70.9 million in H1 2022, highlighting Maisons du Monde’s financial discipline. This reflects an adjustment of asset lifecycles linked to lower in-store Capex, and additional costs related to the second warehouse and new IT developments.
EBIT stood at €16.3 million, representing a margin of 3.0%, with a ramp-up expected in the second half of 2023.
Net income amounted to €1.0 million vs €8.4 million in H1 2022. EPS was €0.02, compared to €0.19 in H1 2022.
It included:
- Other operating income and expenses, at €5.8 million, mainly related to store closure costs.
- Net financial result at €8.5 million vs €9.1 million in H1 2022, due to lower interest on loans, including the revolving credit facility, as well as gains on currency transactions.
- Income tax, representing €0.9 million vs €4.2 million in H1 2022. The effective tax rate was 25.8% as of 30 June 2023, same as last year.
