Kesa (Darty) Interim Management Statement

Kesa Electricals plc today announces an interim management statement for the period 1 November 2008 to 8 January 2009, based on unaudited management accounts.

In France, Darty’s revenue fell by 3.6 per cent in local currency, by 6.2 per cent on a like for like basis, and gross margin remained stable. The launch of the new high speed Darty Box offer (internet Haut Débit et Très Haut Débit + téléphonie illimitée + télévision numérique) showed encouraging early results and we expect total Darty Box subscribers to reach close to 200,000 by the end of January.
