Profile: Approaching its 50th anniversary next year, Auchan showed strong results during 2010 in
its three major markets, France, Russia, and China, as well as in Eastern Europe. Net profits from
continuing operations increased by 6.6% to € 742 million. Its hypermarket increased by 44 stores:
6 in Western Europe, 8 in Central and Eastern Europe, and 30 in Asia. Some 9 supermarkets were
added. In France, Spain and Italy, Auchan’s Simply Market stores were established and
consolidated with 19 stores opened and 30 closed. This chain now covers 609 outlets and its
rollout is 89% completed. In Central and Eastern Europe, 2 stores opened in Poland and 18 in
Russia. Some 15 shopping centers were opened as well. The company ‘s partnership with the
Nakhell Group in Dubai, called HyperCorp LLC, which gives Auchan Group a 10% stake in the
development of the Auchan chain in the Gulf States, ended In January 2011. Auchan ‘s net profits
for the year dipped by 6.5%, hurt by the poor economy in the Ukraine with its partner, Anthousa,
operator of Furshet supermarkets. Auchan holds 21.2% interest in this business. In December
2010, Auchan together with RT Mart China reorganized its partnership in China, giving their
shares in that business to Sun Holding, majority holder in Auchan China and in RT Mart China.
This will allow Sun Holding to own 100% of both those companies and take the company public.
Auchan has an ambitious program, working with small local businesses to produce 11,500
products, of which 700 are under the label of origin, including Auchan’s own brand.
