SCHIPOL, the Netherlands—GrandVision NV (EURONEXT: GVNV), reported preliminary and unaudited revenue growth at constant exchange rates of 6.6 percent for its fiscal year 2016 and 8.0 percent for the fourth quarter of the year. Comparable growth in the fourth quarter was 3.8 percent while for the full year, the company said comparable growth was 2.2 percent.

In the company’s G4 segment, which comprises the business units France & Luxembourg, Germany and Austria, Netherlands and Belgium and the U.K. and Ireland, revenue and comparable growth accelerated in the fourth quarter. In Germany, the revenue growth was supported by omni-channel features and related marketing activities, the company said.

In France, revenue grew by low single digits in the fiscal year, driven by comparable growth, network expansion and single store bolt-on acquisitions. In Other Europe markets, GrandVision said revenue and comparable growth accelerated in the fourth quarter.

“The business in Italy showed solid growth in the fourth quarter as the impacts of the post-merger process of Avanzi and Optissimo are diminishing, and the rebranding efforts, while still not fully completed, are gaining traction with consumers. In addition, the business faced easier comparables in 4Q 2016. Eastern Europe and the Nordics also contributed positively to revenue and comparable growth,” according to the statement.

In the Americas & Asia segment comparable growth in the fourth quarter was in line with the first nine months of 2016. The revenue growth was the result of acquisitions in the U.S., Mexico and Uruguay as well as strong organic growth, especially in Mexico and Turkey.

The group reiterated its medium term objective of achieving at least 5 percent revenue growth at constant exchange rates and adjusted EBITDA growth of high single digits at constant exchange rates.
