OUTLOOK
The second quarter confirmed the positive trajectory initiated at the beginning of the financial year, with a ramp-up in growth for the BtoC segment and a return to growth for the BtoB business.
This improvement, which outperformed market indicators, represents the first tangible results stemming from the Group's communication and marketing strategy implemented in recent years. Future business will be further strengthened by the renewed buoyancy seen in the equipment market.
Backed by a sound financial position, an optimised cost structure and targeted measures aimed at increasing its attractiveness, especially to the general public, the LDLC Group boasts powerful growth drivers that should enable it to continue to increase its market share amid a recovery in demand.
The Group also expects to return to profitability during the first half of 2025/2026.
