8.1

State VAT tax credits - ICMS

The Brazilian States have been substantially amending their local laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax replacement system. This system entails the prepayment of ICMS of the whole commercial chain, upon goods outflow from an industrial establishment or importer or their inflow into each State. The expansion of this system to an increasingly wider range of products sold in the retail generates the prepayment of the tax and consequently a refund in certain operations.

With respect to credits that cannot yet be immediately offset, the Company's management, according to a technical recovery study, based on the future expectation of growth and consequent offset against taxes payable from its operations, believes that its future offset is viable. The mentioned studies are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information obtained from the strategic planning previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of September 30, 2024, the Company's management has monitoring controls over the adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of the recoverable ICMS balance, as shown in the table below:

PIS and COFINS credit

On March 15, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court ("STF”) recognized the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation base. On May 13, 2021, the STF judged the Declaration Embargoes in relation to the amount to be excluded from the calculation basis of the contributions, which should only be the ICMS paid, or if the entire ICMS, as shown in the respective invoices. The STF rendered a favorable decision to the taxpayers, concluding that all ICMS highlighted should be excluded from the calculation basis.

Currently the Company, with the favorable judgment of the Supreme Court, has recognized the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis.

The Company had contingent tax assets in the amount of R$54 related to PIS and COFINS credits, which were fully compensated in the period ended September 30, 2024.

• Expected realization of PIS and COFINS credits

In relation to the recoverable PIS and COFINS credits, the Company's management, based on a technical recovery study considering future growth expectations and consequent offset against debts from its operations, projects its future realization. The mentioned studies are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information obtained from the strategic planning previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of September 30, 2024, the Company's management has monitoring controls over the adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of the recoverable PIS and COFINS balance, in the amount of R$462, and expected realization is within one year.

	(i) Fully paid in January 2024 in the amount of R$894.

14.1	Bonuses from suppliers

	These include commercial agreements and discounts obtained from suppliers. These amounts are defined in agreements and include discounts for purchase volume, joint marketing programs, freight reimbursements, and other similar programs. The receipt occurs by deducting trade notes payable to suppliers, according to conditions established in the supply agreements, so that the financial settlements occur for the net amount.

14.2	Agreements among suppliers, the Company and banks

	The Company has agreements signed with financial institutions, through which suppliers of products, capital goods and services have the possibility of receiving in advance their amounts receivable, also named “forfait” / “confirming”. The financial institutions become creditors of the operation and the Company settles the payments under the same conditions as those originally agreed with the supplier.

	Management, based on CPC 3 (R2)/IAS 7 and CPC 40 (R1)/IFRS 7, assessed that the economic substance of the transaction is operational, considering that receiving in advance is an exclusive decision of the supplier and, for the Company, there are no changes in the original term negotiated with the supplier, nor changes in the originally contracted amounts. These transactions aim at facilitating the cash flow of its suppliers without the Company having to advancing payments. Management evaluated the potential effects of adjusting these operations to present value and concluded that the effects are immaterial for measurement and disclosure.

	These balances are classified as "Trade payables - Agreements" and the cash flow from these operations is presented as operating in the statement of cash flows.

	Additionally, there is no exposure to any financial institution individually related to these operations and these liabilities are not considered net debt and do not have restrictive covenants (financial or non-financial). In these transactions, the Company earns income referring to the premium for referring suppliers to the operations of advance of receivables, recognized in the financial result, note 23 in the line "Revenue from anticipation of payables", in the amount of R$41 as of September 30, 2024 (R$26 as of September 30, 2023), representing 1.58% of the volume of anticipation transactions that occurred during 2024 (1.33% in period ended September 30, 2023).

	As of September 30, 2024, the balance payable related to these operations is R$932 (R$1,459 as of December 31, 2023).

	The transactions of trade payables and trade payables – agreement are similar and do not exceed the expiration date of 120 days as of September 30, 2024.

15.1	Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Company

15.1.1	Credit risk

	• Cash and cash equivalents

	In order to minimize the credit risk, the investment policies adopted establish investments in financial institutions approved by the Company’s Financial Committee, considering the monetary limits and evaluations of financial institutions, which are regularly updated.

	The Company's financial investments, according to the rating on the national scale of financial institutions, are of represented by 100% brAAA.

	• Trade receivables

	The credit risk related to trade receivables is minimized by the fact that a large part of installment sales are made with credit cards and ticket. These receivables may be advanced at any time, without right of recourse, with banks or credit card companies, for the purpose of providing working capital, generating the derecognition of the accounts receivable. In addition, the main acquirers used by the Company are related to first-tier financial institutions with low credit risk. Additionally, for trade receivables collected in installments, the Company monitors the risk for the granting of credit and for the periodic analysis of the expected credit loss balances.

	The Company also incurs counterparty risk related to derivative instruments. This risk is mitigated by carrying out transactions, according to policies approved by governance bodies.

	Except the balances related to credit cards and ticket, there are no receivables or sale to customers that are, individually, more than 5% of accounts receivable or revenues.

15.1.2	Interest rate risk

	The Company obtains borrowings with major financial institutions to meet cash requirements for investments. Accordingly, the Company is mainly exposed to the risk of significant fluctuations in the interest rate, especially the rate related to derivative liabilities (foreign currency exposure hedge) and debts indexed to CDI. The balance of cash and cash equivalents, indexed to CDI, partially offsets the risk of fluctuations in the interest rates.

15.1.3	Foreign currency exchange rate risk

	The fluctuations in the exchange rates may increase the balances of borrowings in foreign currency, and for this reason the Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as swaps, to mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk, converting the cost of debt into domestic currency and interest rates.


15.1.4	Capital risk management

	The main objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains its credit rating and a well-balanced equity ratio, in order to support businesses and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments considering the changes in the economic conditions.

	The capital structure is as follows:

			9/30/2024		12/31/2023
	Borrowings, debentures and promissory notes		(16,618)		(15,184)
	(-) Cash and cash equivalents		4,032		5,459
	(-) Derivative financial instruments		270		274
	Net debt		(12,316)		(9,451)

	Shareholders’ equity		4,995		4,630
	% Net debt to shareholders’ equity		247%		204%

15.1.5	Liquidity risk management

	The Company manages liquidity risk through daily monitoring of cash flows and control of maturities of financial assets and liabilities.

	The table below summarizes the aging profile of the Company’s financial liabilities as of September 30, 2024.

			Less than 1 year		From 1 to 5 years		More than 5 years		Total
	Borrowings			1,190	1,907		-		3,097
	Debenture and promissory notes			5,112	9,645		3,703		18,460
	Derivative financial instruments			(79)	(353)		(124)		(556)
	Lease liabilities			1,457	6,495		14,371		22,323
	Trade payables			10,037	20		-		10,057
	Trade payables - Agreements			932	-		-		932
	Other accounts payable			231	-		39		270
			18,880		17,714		17,989		54,583

	The information was prepared considering the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date the Company may be required to make the payment or be eligible to receive the payment. To the extent that interest rates are floating, the undiscounted amount is obtained based on interest rate curves for the period ended September 30, 2024. Therefore, certain balances presented do not agree with the balances presented in the balance sheets.

15.2	Derivative financial instruments

	Short Position	(3,946)		(2,956)		(3,997)		(2,964)

	Net hedge position	-		-		219		266

	Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts during the period ended September 30, 2024 are recorded as net financial results and the balance receivable at fair value is R$219 (balance receivable of R$266 as of December 31, 2023). The assets are recorded as “Derivative Financial Instruments” and the liabilities as “Borrowings and Debentures”.

	The effects of the hedge at fair value through income for the period ended September 30, 2024, resulted in a loss of R$127 (loss of R$78 as of September 30, 2023), recorded under "cost of debt" and "mark-to-market (loss) gain", see note 23.


	The consolidated position of outstanding derivative financial instrument transactions is presented in the table below:

15.3	Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments

	According to Management's assessment, the possible reasonable changes scenario considered was, on the maturity date of each transaction, the market curves (interest) of B3.

	To determine the possible relevant change in the relevant risk variable, Management considered the economic environment in which it operates. Therefore, in scenario (I) there is no impact on the fair value of financial instruments and the weighted interest rate (CDI) was 12.12% per year. For scenarios (II) and (III), for the exclusive purpose of sensitivity analysis, Management considered a deterioration of 5% and 10%, respectively, in the risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments, with the aim of demonstrating the sensitivity of the Company's results in an adverse scenario.

	In the case of derivative financial instruments (aiming at hedging the financial debt), the variations of the scenarios are accompanied by the respective hedges, indicating that the effects are not significant.

	The Company disclosed the net exposure of the derivative financial instruments, the corresponding financial instruments and certain financial instruments in the sensitivity analysis table below, for each of the mentioned scenarios:

							Market projections
	Transactions	Note	Risk (Rate Increase)		As of 9/30/2024		Scenario (I)	Scenario (II)	Scenario (III)
	Borrowings	15.5.1	CDI + 1.74% per year		(1,858)		(217)	(228)	(239)
	Borrowings (fixed rate)	15.5.1	CDI + 0.20% per year		(32)		(4)	(4)	(4)
	Borrowings (foreign currency)	15.5.1	CDI + 1.34% per year		(696)		(84)	(89)	(93)
	Debentures and promissory notes	15.5.1	CDI + 1.42% per year		(14,141)		(1,691)	(1,775)	(1,860)
	Total net effect (loss)				(16,727)		(1,996)	(2,096)	(2,196)

	Cash equivalents	5	98.15% of the CDI		3,920		475	499	523

	Net exposure loss				(12,807)		(1,521)	(1,597)	(1,673)

15.4	Fair value measurement

	The Company discloses the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value of which differ from the carrying amounts, pursuant to CPC 46/IFRS 13, which address the concepts of measurement and disclosure requirements. The fair value hierarchy levels are defined below:

	Level 1: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity may have access at the measurement date.

	Level 2: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using other significant observable assumptions for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, except quoted prices included in Level 1.

	Level 3: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using non-observable data for the asset or liability.

	The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts.

	The table below sets forth the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, all classified as level 2, for which the fair value has been disclosed in the interim financial information:

			Carrying amount			Fair value
			9/30/2024	12/31/2023		9/30/2024		12/31/2023
	Trade receivables with credit card and ticket		1,855	985		1,855		985
	Interest rate swaps between currencies		(11)	-		(11)		-
	Interest rate swaps		(12)	(1)		(12)		(1)
	Interest rate swaps - CRI		242	267		242		267
	Borrowings and debentures (fair value)		(3,942)	(3,182)		(3,942)		(3,182)
	Borrowings, debentures and promissory notes (amortized cost)		(12,625)	(11,994)		(12,365)		(11,716)
			(14,493)	(13,925)		(14,233)		(13,647)

	There were no change between fair value measurement hierarchy levels during the period ended September 30, 2024.

	Interest rate swaps, cross-currency, borrowings and debentures are classified in Level 2 since the fair value of such financial instruments was determined based on readily observable inputs, such as expected interest rate and current and future foreign exchange rate.

	Among these proceedings, we highlight the following:

	The Company is a party to various lawsuits requesting the renewal of rental agreements and the review of the current rent paid. The Company records a provision for the difference between the monthly rental amounts originally paid by stores and the rental amounts calculated by the legal experts considering that it is the expert report amount that will be used as the basis for the decision that will change the rental amount paid by the Company.

	Three collective proceedings were filed by institutions related to black people's movements due to an approach to a customer, in August 2021 at the store in Limeira - SP, which claim supposed racial issues. All were duly answered. One of them has already been extinguished by the judiciary without major effects. As of September 30, 2024, there are still two lawsuits in progress and, given the subjectivity of the matter, it is still not possible to reasonably estimate the amounts involved. A significant impact is not expected, upon completion the lawsuits on the Company's financial statements.

ii) up to 1.60% will consist of shares with performance assumptions, the right to which will only be acquired if the following conditions are cumulatively met: i) the Participants remain as Officers of the Company until the second vesting date; and ii) the performance targets are achieved on the second vesting date, determined and calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below.

Shares with performance assumptions

• The final number of shares with performance assumptions to which the Participants will be entitled will depend on the degree of achievement of the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) target, according to the increase in the accumulated Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of the EPS during the calculation period, based on the achievement curve.

• The EPS target achievement curve will begin at the minimum trigger corresponding to an accumulated EPS equal to or greater than IPCA (Extended Consumer Price Index) + 20% per year Starting from the minimum trigger of IPCA + 20% per year, the percentage of the total number of Company shares to which the Participants will be entitled will increase proportionally to the increase in the accumulated CAGR of the EPS up to the limit of 1.60% of the total number of Company shares. If the minimum trigger of the EPS target curve is not reached, it will be considered that the condition of performance was not reached.

• The achievement curve of the EPS accumulated performance target will be calculated considering the period between December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2030, except in the following cases in which the proportional period will be considered, as provided for in the Program: Involuntary Termination between the First and the Second Vesting Date; Disposal of Control and Relevant Acquisition; and Delisting and Withdrawal from Novo Mercado. The Financial Committee, the Audit Committee and the People, Culture and Remuneration Committee will calculate and verify the compliance with the performance targets.

• The shares (both the restricted shares and the shares with performance assumptions) will be transferred to the Participants through the delivery of shares held in treasury by the Company.

Additional shares

• The Participants will be entitled to receive the value per share of dividends, interest on equity or other amounts paid by the Company to its shareholders between the grant date and the date of receipt of these shares, which will be paid in shares (“additional shares”). The calculation of the additional shares will be made by multiplying the value per share distributed as earnings by the number of shares to which the Participants will be entitled to receive, on each payment date of the earnings, divided by the share price at the end of the trading session on B3 on the day immediately preceding the date on which the Company shares started being traded ex-dividends.

• The additional shares will be added to the target number granted (whether of restricted shares or shares with performance assumptions) and will be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions and will be transferred to the Participants under the same terms and conditions upon compliance with the applicable conditions.

All shares received by the Participants under the “Sócio Executivo” Program will be subject to a lock-up of three years from the date of receipt of the shares, unless otherwise provided for by the Board of Directors in cases of termination of the Participants.

The fair value of each share granted was measured based on the share price on the granted date, reduced by the estimated discount due to the transfer restriction after the vesting period. The Company has determined the estimated number of shares that will be considered the right of the Participants in relation to the variable portion of the plan based on the result projections in line with the business assumptions and that at the end of each period the estimate will be adjusted according to these projections.

17,411,612 shares were granted, with a fair value of R$11.35.

As of September 30, 2024, the amount recognized in the statement of operations for the period was R$15 (there is no amount recorded as of September 30, 2023) and the fair value of the total this plan in that date was R$243, including charges.

19.3.5

Long-term incentive plan through grant of the right to receive Company shares

At the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting held on April 26, 2024, the shareholders approved the Long-Term Incentive Plan (“ILP”), intended to grant restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions to statutory and non-statutory directors of the Company (“Participants”), as well as to any other employees who are selected to participate in the plan.

By granting the right to receive Company shares to the Participants, the ILP Plan aims at: (i) aligning the interests of the Participants with the interests of the Company's shareholders; (ii) encouraging the Participants to stay at the Company or at the companies under its control; and (iii) maximizing the results and generating sustainable value for the Company and its shareholders.

The grants under the ILP Plan will be made in the following proportion: (i) 30% of the right granted will consist of restricted shares, and the transfer of the shares to the Participants will occur only upon compliance with a single vesting period of 3 years (except for the grant to the Chief Executive Officer, which will have a vesting period of up to 5 years, with partial vesting of 33% in the 3rd year, 33% in the 4th year and 34% in the 5th year); and (ii) 70% of the right granted will consist of shares with performance assumptions, and the transfer of the shares to the Participants will occur only upon compliance with a single vesting period of 3 years (5 years for the Chief Executive Officer) contingent on the achievement of the performance targets established by the Board of Directors, and the final number of shares with performance assumptions to which the Participants will be entitled will depend on the degree of achievement of these targets at the end of the single vesting period of 3 years (5 years for the Chief Executive Officer), and may vary from 90% to 110% of the target number of shares (and the target number of shares will assume the achievement of 100% of the targets, except for the Chief Executive Officer).

Shares with performance assumptions

Regarding the grant of shares with performance assumptions, the indicators will be defined considering the following main objectives:

• preserve the Company's relevance and positioning in relation to its peers in the cash & carry sector;

• ensure the generation of sustainable business value;

• guarantee the profitability of the Company's business in the long term; and

• ensure an adequate level of profitability of operations, preserving healthy profit margin levels in relation to the Company's history.

The number of restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions granted will be determined based on: (i) a salary multiple, according to the grade occupied by the Participant; and (ii) the average share price in the 20 trading sessions prior to the grant.

The shares (both restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions) will be transferred to the Participants upon compliance with the conditions described in the plan, and the transfer of shares will be made through the delivery of shares held in treasury by the Company.

Through the ILP Plan, the Company will grant to the Participants the right to receive a certain number of shares corresponding to up to 1.5% of the total number of Company shares on the date of approval of the respective plan, subject to the specified adjustments.

The fair value of each share granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, considering the following assumptions:

i) Approximate volatility expectation: 37.32% in the 3rd year, 36.94% for the 4th year and 38.27% in the 5th year; and

ii) Dividend expectation: 0.77% in the 3rd, 4th and 5th year.

The Company determined the estimated number of shares that will be considered the right of Participants in relation to the variable portion of the plan based on projections of results aligned with business assumptions and that at each end of the period the estimate will be adjusted according to these projections.

1,094,759 shares were granted, with a fair value of R$11.90 for the 3rd year, R$11.81 for the 4th year, and R$11.72 for the 5th year.

As of September 30, 2024, the amount recognized in the statement of operations for the period was R$1 (there is no amount recorded as of September 30, 2023) and the fair value of the total this plan in that date was R$16, including charges.

19.4

Buy-back program of shares

On June 25, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the first buy-back program of shares issued by the Company. The program aims to acquire, within 12 months as of the date here of, up to 3,800,000 common shares, representing 0.28% of the free float on this date, to be kept in treasury for subsequent delivery to the participants of the "Sócio Executivo" Program, see note 19.3.4 and of the Long-Term Incentive Plan through Grant of the Right to Receive Company Shares, see note 19.3.5. The shares will be acquired through the stock market at market price.

Until November 7, 2024, date of issue of this interim financial information, the Company repurchased shares in the amount of R$14, representing 2,075,600 ordinary shares.
