EVRY (dpa-AFX) - Carrefour (CRERF.PK, CRRFY.PK, 0NPH.L) Tuesday reported that its first-quarter pre-IAS 29 sales totaled 19.45 billion euros, up 7.5% at constant exchange rates.
Sales were up 3.3% at current exchange rates. On a like-for-like basis, sales were up 7.8%.
CEO Alexandre Bompard said, 'In a very atypical quarter, our sales were boosted in January and February by the success of strategic initiatives that we launched two years ago, then experienced a notable acceleration in March. They thus recorded sustained growth over the entire period and in all our regions.'
