Retail channels were the main driver of growth, with store sales rising by 6.4% and by +8.9% on a like-for-like basis, supported by a rebound in traffic (+7%) and improved conversion rates (+7%). During the quarter, the Group continued to evolve its network, transferring two stores to an affiliation model, deploying its New Concept store in La Défense (Paris), and opening a test outlet in Corbeil Essonnes.
Online sales reached €61.0 million, representing a slight increase of +1.1%. While Maisons du Monde web sales remained broadly stable (-0.5%), marketplace sales grew strongly, particularly in Spain and Italy, where the product offering was significantly enriched.
Sales by geography showed continued resilience internationally, with France recording a modest growth of +2% like-for-like, while international sales rose by +8%. Southern Europe, particularly Spain and Italy, contributed significantly to the Group's performance.
The Company's product categories highlighted strong demand for decoration items, which rose by 7%, outperforming furniture at +2%. "Decoration products outperformed furniture, reflecting better product availability and depth of assortment, a higher promotional intensity, and enhanced in-store merchandising, which provides greater visibility and space to smaller decorative items," the company reported.
Commenting on the results, François-Melchior de Polignac, CEO, stated:
"The past quarters have been challenging, marked by deep internal transformation executed within a difficult macro-economic environment. We are now beginning to see the initial effects of this strategy on our sales, as evidenced by our positive Q3 results. However, we remain cautious due to current uncertainties and fully committed to transforming the company, with an unwavering focus on Customer Satisfaction, cost-reduction initiatives, and improving our cash position by reducing excess inventory."
For the first nine months of 2025, Group net sales reached €669.2 million, down 5.3% year-on-year, reflecting ongoing macroeconomic challenges in France. Inventory levels were reduced as planned, positioning the Group for further operational efficiency.
Maisons du Monde continues to combine a strong omnichannel model with a focus on product diversity and sustainability, operating in nine European countries and generating over half of its sales online.
