The FTSE-100 company experienced falling sales across its French Castorama (-2.2%) and Brico Depot (-2.3%) divisions and in Poland (-1.1%), while sales climbed by more than 3% at UK operations B&Q and Somerset-based Screwfix.
The DIY retailer has been grappling with stagnant sales in Poland and France where Castorama ranks among Kingfisher's most persistently underperforming operations, according to analysts.
Kingfisher has concentrated on reducing costs in recent years, having shed £120m in excess expenditure last year.
