HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE FIRST QUARTER 
Showroomprivé experienced strong growth in its activities during the first quarter of 2016

The Group's revenues increased by 23% in the first quarter of 2016, growing from €95.7 million in Q1 2015 to €117.3 million in Q1 2016.

This growth in revenue was mainly driven by a strong increase in the number of buyers and in the average revenues per buyer.

The number of buyers rose by 12% in Q1 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, thanks to the acquisition of new members (+900,000 members over the first three months of the year), a high conversion rate of these new members into buyers and a strong level of customer loyalty.

In addition, the average revenue per buyer grew by 9% to reach €81.8 in Q1 2016, stimulated by the growth in the average number of orders per buyer (up by 3%), and by the increase of the average basket size (up by 5%) over the period to reach €36.5.

Showroomprivé continues to persue the implementation of its strategy around the priorities set out for 2016: innovation, quality, the improvement of product offers and the rolling out of a multi-local organisation on an international scale.

Showroomprivé has launched new innovative features and services:
