With the adoption of a new slogan, “Agitateur de curiosité” (“Stirring curiosity”), supported by a major advertising campaign, the brand has reaffirmed its vocation.

Fnac pursued its growth outside of France, with sales up by 16% for the quarter. Fnac now operates 51 international stores, which account for 27% of its revenues. Two additional stores will open outside France in the fourth quarter.

In the 3rd quarter of 2007, Redcats Group sales were down by 0.6% on a comparable basis. However, the leading brands of the Redcats Group posted satisfactory sales performance, notably La Redoute – boosted by good performance during the sales period – The Sportsman's Guide, US large-size apparel brands, and Scandinavian brands.

In line with its multi-channel approach and strategic focus on its leading brands, in September Redcats launched a takeover bid for United Retail of the US; this transaction should generate considerable operating synergies.

Additionally the Children-Family segment posted good performance, while the Seniors brands, Misses in the US and Redcats UK pursued their repositioning. Finally, online sales increased by 22% in Q3, accounting for 41% of total home-shopping revenues.

In the 3rd quarter, Conforama sales were up 1.4% on a comparable basis and 1.8% on an actual basis. Performance in the French market was satisfactory (up 4%), driven by strong growth in furniture (up 6%), brown goods (up 12%) and decorative items (up 12%).

Conforama pursued its advertising campaign in the quarter, achieving unprecedented results for a retail brand, with a 92% positive rating.

The brand opened its 57th store outside France, stepping up its international expansion with a 1.7% increase in sales excluding Italy. In Italy, sales were down 13% as Conforama accelerated the transformation of Emmezetta stores.
