Hi,
I am translating a newsletter regarding the launch of a new line of mints in France and I am struggling with the following phrase:
En juillet, nous avons attaint une DV de 87 en HMSM.
The previous sentence is as follows:
La produit a ete liste tres rapidement dans les points de vente, grace a la force de XXXX et la mobilisation sur le terrain.
I can't find a reference to HMSM anywhere, can anybody help?
Thank you.

weighted distribution for hypermarkets and supermarkets
DV = distribution valeur = weighted distribution
HMSM = must be hypermarkets / supermarkets
I'm not entirely sure if using "xxx for xxx" is the right formula though...

: How do you make it a "weighted distribution"? Wouldn't that be a "répartition pondérée"?//The "lexique" you reference is mistaken. That is not a "weighted distribution".

Thank you for your help!
You say that is what you are having trouble with, but do you already know what DV is?
This Ghit gives an alternative spelling, which might tend to confirm my hunch:
