Message from the CEO

 

We made a consistent progress in this first quarter of 2023, a performance that reveals the assertiveness of the turnaround project and important developments in the period for GPA.

 

We can already see an improvement in the result of the new stores, including those converted from the hypermarkets format, and a beginning of the return of customers and traffic, especially in the Pão de Açúcar and Proximity stores, which makes me even more motivated and confident in the work we are doing.

 

We recorded same-store growth of 6.3%, excluding gas stations, with the maintenance of double-digit growth in proximity stores and the Pão de Açúcar banner with a solid growth of 7.5% (vs. 6.7% in 4Q22). We posted an increase in perishables penetration and market share gains, especially in premium formats, which are important levers in the turnaround process of the New GPA Brazil.

 

Our strategy is based on six main pillars that guide all our business decisions: the Top Line, with the structured increase in our revenues, which leverages the improvement of OSA (On Shelf Availability) where we have already registered a record level, in addition to structuring a broad category management project; and Excellence in Service, measured by the NPS (Net Promoter Score), an measure in which we have already advanced 20 points since 2022.

 

Digital is another important pillar of our strategy, focused on advancing multichannel, with the evolution of same-day deliveries and the share of perishables in online sales. The pillar of Expansion and stores conversion, in which we registered a record number of openings with 78 new stores since 2022. In the pillar of Profitability, I highlight the work of managing breakages, reducing expenses, and increasing the gross margin, in addition to finalizing the project of headquarter re-sizing, meticulous zero-based budget work and commercial negotiations. We advanced in ESG & Culture pillar with the delivery of socio-environmental commitments - such as exceeding our goal of reducing CO2 emissions in the last year, and the increase in the percentage of women in leadership, which is already at 39% at GPA.

 

We started the 2Q23 well positioned and even more focused on our priorities: to grow above inflation, to advance in our service indicators and sustainable growth with profitability. Consistency has been the keyword in this work, so that we can continue to deliver an increasingly sustainable result.

Sales Performance

 

New GPA Brazil and Consolidated GPA

Strong growth in sales, with emphasis on same-store sales of the Pão de Açúcar banner

 

GROSS REVENUE 1Q23/1Q22
(R$ million) Total Sales % Total Stores Same-Store Sales(2)
Pão de Açúcar 2,206 17.9% 7.5%

(1) Revenues mainly from commercial centers rentals agreements, Stix Fidelidade, Cheftime and James Delivery

(2) To reflect the calendar effect, 30bps were reduced in 1Q23

 

Total consolidated GPA Brasil sales reached R$ 4.8 billion in 1Q23 and, excluding gas stations, R$4.5 billion, resulting in growth of 15.4%, driven by the expansion of new stores, including the stores converted from hypermarkets, and the consistent resumption of customer flow at the Pão de Açúcar and Proximity stores. At the Pão de Açúcar banner, our same-store sales reached 7.5% (vs. 6.7% in 4Q22), mainly driven by the progress in the strategy to increase penetration of perishables, as well as by the strong growth in basic groceries. In the Proximity format, we continued with double-digit same-store growth of 12.4% (vs. 17.3% in 4Q22), a slowdown compared to the immediately previous period due to the resumption of the vacation period on the coast after two years of restrictive measures due to the pandemic, impacting the format that has greater exposure to metropolitan regions. In the mainstream banners, Mercado Extra and Compre Bem, same-store sales growth was 2.2%, with consistent growth in the Mercado Extra banner, offset by the negative impact of the commercial repositioning of the Compre Bem banner. In Gas Stations we see a recovery in the volume of fuels, with growth of 18% vs. 1Q22, due to the reopening of hypermarket stores closed after the transaction with Assaí. The banner still shows a 7.0% reduction in same-store sales as a result of the 21% fuel price decrease when comparing 1Q23 versus 1Q22.

 

During the 1Q23, we observe March with a strong growth pace, resuming growth after a weaker Carnival in the retail sector versus 1Q22. The same-store sales reached a solid growth and we observed acceleration of market share gain, especially in premium formats.

Compared to 1Q22, the Pão de Açúcar banner's total sales increased its share by 110 bps (46.0% of total sales), while the proximity format gained 80 bps in its representativeness (14.3% of total sales).

 

 

 

 

22 

 

In e-commerce, our GMV was R$402 million in 1Q23, growth of 7%, excluding sales from hypermarkets in 1Q22. This growth is explained by a series of improvements, among them, the increase in orders with same-day delivery, expansion of partnerships with external platforms, in addition to initiatives to gain operational efficiency and better customer experience.

 

 

 

The six strategic pillars of the New GPA Brazil

 

Based on the 6 strategic pillars implemented in 2022, below are the highlights of 1Q23. The Profitability and ESG pillars are described within their respective sections.

 

Top-line: Strong advances on the perishables and products availability

 

 

Increased perishables penetration

 

In 1Q23 we saw the capture of gains from the Refresh Project started in 2022, which has improved the value proposition of perishables by reinterpreting the flow of goods and display of products in stores, bringing greater quality, variety, freshness, availability of products on display to the customer and improved profitability with reduced breakage. This project also includes: i) assortment review; ii) in-store employee training; and (iii) improvement in the level of customer service.

 

The highlight is the penetration of perishables in the Proximity format, the focus of GPA's organic expansion, which grew by 2.1p.p in the 1Q23 vs. 1Q22, showing a high potential for incremental sales in these formats. The Pão de Açúcar banner increased perishables penetration by 70 bps in this same period.

 

Highest historical levels of in-store product availability

 

Our stores reached the best historical level of product availability, with a reduction of 220 bps in stockouts, while the company's inventory level also improved by 2.7¹ days of turnover. Greater product availability is one of the factors that will continue to support same-store sales growth.

  

 

This improvement comes from:

 

·Improved demand predictability tools
·Closer work with suppliers for SLA improvements
·Improved supply flow to expansion stores
·Improvement of perishables processes
·Improved inventory management in-store

 

 

 

 

(1) Internal calculation excluding hypermarket discontinuation impact

 

 

 

23 

 

Assortment project with accelerated roll-out and expected delivery in 3Q23

 

In 1Q23, we moved forward with the roll-out of the assortment review project, reaching 60% of categories revised and 25% of stores with new cluster and departmentalization implemented. For the next quarter, 2Q23, we estimate to reach 90% of categories revised and 58% of clustered stores.

.

 

NPS: remarkable improvement in customer experience

Greater customer experience translates into greater client traffic.

 

In 1Q23 we saw a considerable growth in customer satisfaction in GPA’s NPS assessment (+19.6 points vs. 1Q22) due to the measures implemented in 2022 such as:

 

· Improved product availability

· multipurpose training for the cashier operation

· implementation of new self check-outs

 

The main highlight is the Mercado Extra banner, which grew 23.9 points comparison to the comparable period.

  

 

Within the Pão de Açúcar banner, we also saw growth in customer satisfaction in the increase of active customers and the recovery of premium customers, those who spend four times more than other customers and have greater frequency, which had been showing a reduction until 3Q22, when we start the reversal trend. Premium customers under the Pão de Açúcar brand have already grown 10% when compared to 3Q22.

 

Digital: efforts towards a better customer experience

App evolution and improvements to offer customers the best experience from ordering to delivery.

 

Since 2Q22, the app has evolved to offer a simplified layout, a new shopping cart experience, including details of discounts, greater emphasis on e-commerce and improvement of the Meu Desconto (discounted program). These developments contributed to an increase of 11 p.p in the share of app sales (1P), which already reached 71% of 1P sales.

 

Within e-commerce, the focus is on i) increasing the assortment, mainly in perishables; ii) greater availability of delivery times; and iii) on fast delivery. With the availability of new fast delivery methods and the integration of James as a logistical engine, GPA was able to substantially increase the share of deliveries made on the same day in 1P, which went from approximately 45% to 70% in the comparison 1Q22 vs. 1Q23, respectively. Among the delivery methods, Click and Collect maintains a high share, with 36% of orders, contributing to lower logistical costs and increased flow in physical stores.

 

Continuing to prioritize deliveries made from our own stores, we reached an 89% share of sales being delivered by the store's own operation or by partners. With the incorporation of James Delivery in 4Q22, we increased the fast delivery modalities, allowing for a 14% growth in our deliveries from the store, in addition to a considerable contribution to the decrease in Digital SG&A in 1Q23. Together with the integration of James and other operational optimizations, we saw an improvement in the e-commerce contribution margin of approximately 250 bps when compared to the immediately previous quarters.

 

Expansion: 78 stores already opened since the beginning of 2022

New stores have already brought billionaire incremental sales.

 

The focus of our expansion project is the Minuto Pão de Açúcar banner, which already has a mature format and greater capillarity potential, anticipating the densification of the city of São Paulo and the metropolitan region in more vertical regions. They are high quality spots, with rapid maturation and performance, in addition to being focused on the A/B public.

 

 

 

24 

 

For the Pão de Açúcar banner, our expansion strategy captures cities with high unused premium potential, in addition to prioritizing regions with a strong brand presence, focusing on capturing potential in large centers in the interior of the state of São Paulo and in some poles from northeast.

 

In 1Q23, we opened six new stores, of which 2 Pão de Açúcar banners and 4 proximity formats.

 

The expansion project has already made an important contribution to the Company, within the 78 stores inaugurated bringing R$ 1.2 billion in incremental sales since the beginning of 2022, of which R$ 455 million in 1Q23.

 

In 1Q23, we also renovated 13 stores, 12 of which are part of the 15 stores that we consider to be the best Pão de Açúcar banner locations and that stand out as opinion makers for our customers (premium circuit).

(2) Operating income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization adjusted by Other Operating Income and Expenses and excludes impacts from the international perimeter (Cnova)

 

 

The Gross Profit of the New GPA Brazil totaled R$1.1 billion, with a margin of 24.4%, showing an improvement of 180 bps and 70 bps compared to 4Q22 and 3Q22, respectively. This evolution is the result of advances in strategic pillars, with emphasis on the continued improvement in same-store growth in premium formats, improvement in commercial negotiations, increased penetration of perishables and reduction in breakage. Compared to 1Q22, the gross margin decreased by 253 bps, mainly explained by the following effects: (i) high inflation with impact on costs of goods, labor and logistics; and (ii) adjustments arising from the repositioning of banners and formats throughout the second half of 2022 (strategic pillars) and which begin to show effective results from 1Q23 onwards.

 

25 

 

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses totaled R$849 million in the quarter, with a dilution of 84 bps in relation to net revenue when compared to 1Q22. This dilution is concentrated in the line of general and administrative expenses, which presented a reduction of 10% in the comparison with the previous year, with the restructuring carried out in the headquarters after the transaction of the hypermarkets and in efficiencies captured in operating expenses.

 

Equity Income totaled R$8 million in 1Q23, an increase of 2.6%, reflecting the growth in revenue from FIC's operations in the period.

 

As a result of the effects mentioned above, Adjusted EBITDA for New GPA Brazil was R $270 million and adjusted EBITDA margin was 6.0%, slightly increase in comparisson with 4Q22 and 3Q22, and a decrease of 152 bps vs. 1Q22.

 

As part of the margin recovery process, we achieved important advances over the quarter compared to the previous year, highlighting: (i) continued improvement in the growth pace of the Pão de Açúcar and Proximity banners; (ii) improvement of 40 bps in logistics efficiency; (iii) reduction of 50 bps in breakage; (iv) increased penetration of perishables, which have better margins and more purchases frequency; and (v) SG&A dilution of 84 bps in relation to net revenue.

 

For the coming quarters, we will continue to make progress: (i) negotiating with our suppliers on commercial and logistical aspects; (ii) projects that will impact the rebalancing of categories in view of GPA's new value proposition, with 90% of categories having been achieved by the end of 2Q23 (vs. 60% in 1Q23); and (iii) with the beginning of expenses reduction through the Zero Base Budget project.

 

 

26 

 

 

OTHER CONSOLIDATED OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSES

 

In the quarter, Other Income and Expenses reached R$ 51 million, mainly impacted by: (i) R$19 million in contingencies, R$13 million of which related to labor; (ii) R$19 million related to the one-off effect of restructuring and unit closures; and (iii) R$5 million, non-cash, related to impairment.

 

CONSOLIDATED NET FINANCIAL RESULT

 

FINANCIAL RESULT GPA Consolidated
(R$ million) 1Q23 1Q22 Δ
Financial Revenue 90 107 -15.9%
Financial Expenses (311) (255) 21.9%
Cost of Debt (223) (192) 16.1%
Cost of Receivables Discount (19) (12) 55.4%
Other financial expenses (67) (48) 38.6%

Net Financial Revenue (Expenses) - Post IFRS 16             (332) (238) 39.7%
    % of Net Revenue - Post IFRS 16 -7.4% -6.1% -130 bps

 

 

The net financial result totaled an expense of R$ (221) million in the quarter, representing -4.9% of net revenue (vs. 3.8% in 1Q22). Including interest on the lease liability, the amount reached R$ (332) million, equivalent to -7.4% of net revenue, compared to R$ (238) million and -6.1% of net revenue in the year previous. The 1Q22 was positively impacted by financial income from the monetary correction of receivables from the Hipermercado Extra sale in approximately R$71 million.

 

The main highlights of the financial result for the quarter were:

 

·Financial income reached R$ 90 million vs. R$ 107 million in 1Q22, adjusting the financial income of 1Q22 by the R$71 million of monetary correction of receivables related to hypermarket sale, we would present a positive variation of R$48 million between periods. The positive variation is mainly explained by the higher remuneration of cash position related to the increase in interest rates in the period as well as the higher average cash position.

 

·Financial expenses, including prepayment of receivables, totaled R$ (311) million vs. R$ (255) million in the previous period, and the increase in expenses is mainly related to the higher cost of debt, which despite the reduction in the average volume, was impacted by the increase in the CDI rate in the period and by the increase in the monetary correction of contingencies.

ESG AT GPA

Agenda with and for society and the environment

 

Based on our sustainability strategy and GPA's pillars of action, the main highlights of 1Q23 are as follows:

 

GPA BRAZIL

 

1.Promotion of diversity and inclusion: For the first time, GPA won the Best Companies to Work For seal in the Women category, from GPTW. The recognition is the result of a series of actions developed by the company with the objective of promoting Gender Equity, such as the disclosure of the Manifesto of the Senior Men's Leadership of GPA in favor of the theme. The document reinforces the search for constant evolution, the zeal for a work environment of equal opportunities and the collaboration for the transformation and reduction of socioeconomic gaps among all. At the end of 1Q23, we reached 39.3% of women in leadership positions (management and above), in line with our commitment to reach 40% by 2025.

 

2.Combating climate change: in terms of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we reduced our scope 1 and 2 atmospheric emissions in this 1Q23 by more than 20%, compared to emissions in the same period of the previous year. This reduction was achieved based on efforts to replace the most polluting gases and maintain equipment in our operations, in line with the efforts and investments that have been made in recent years and which led us to anticipate the reduction target set for 2030 (base year 2015). In this scenario, we announced a new target in 1Q23, expanding the commitment to 50% of emission reductions by 2025 (base year 2015).

 

3.Transformation in the value chain: In line with our public commitment to reach 100% of sales of our Exclusive Brand eggs from cage-free chickens by 2025 and from all brands by 2028, we ended 1Q23 with 58,4% of sales of Exclusive Brand eggs come from cage-free hen production, and 42.7% of sales of eggs from all brands with the same production attributes.

 

4.Social impact and promotion of opportunities: We closed 1Q23 with more than 380,000 meals supplemented from the donation of fruits and vegetables that are not aesthetically attractive for sale, but in conditions of consumption, to food banks and organizations social partners. In addition, we carried out an emergency action on behalf of people affected by the rains that occurred on the north coast of São Paulo, which collected 26 tons of food, and we committed to doubling the volume collected, totaling 52 tons - and our exclusive brand Qualitá complemented with the donation of more than 4,000 units of 1.5L bottles of water.

 

5.Commitment to Ethics and Transparency: We will publish, at the beginning of 2Q23, our Annual Sustainability Report, with the main highlights of our initiatives and evolution of our commitments throughout the year.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

 

Notes to the interim financial statements

March 31, 2023

(In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

1.Corporate information

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição ("Company" or “CBD”), directly or through its subsidiaries (“Group” or “GPA”) is engaged in the retail of food and other products through its chain of supermarkets and specialized stores, especially under the trade names "Pão de Açúcar, “Minuto Pão de Açúcar”, “Mercado Extra", “Minimercado Extra”, and ‘’Compre Bem”. Regarding the operations of the Extra Hiper brand, see note 1.1. The Group’s headquarters are located in the city of São Paulo, State of São Paulo, Brazil.

The Company also operates in other Latin American countries through the subsidiary Almacenes Éxito SA (“Éxito”), a Colombian company operating in this country under the supermarket and hypermarket flags Éxito, Carulla, Super Inter, Surtimax and Surtimayorista, in Argentina under the Libertad brand and in Uruguay under the brands Disco and Devoto. Additionally, Éxito operates shopping centers in Colombia under the Viva brand. The process of segregating the activities of Éxito and GPA is underway, see note 1.2

The Company's shares are traded at the Corporate Governance level of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (B3 S.A. – Brazil, Bolsa, Balcão (‘’B3’’)) called Novo Mercado, under the ticker “PCAR3”, and on the New York Stock Exchange (ADR level III), under the code “CBD”.

The Company is directly controlled by Ségisor, and its ultimate parent company is Casino Guichard Perrachon (“Casino”), French company listed on Paris Stock Exchange.

1.1Discontinuation of the business of Extra Hiper stores and sale of assets with Sendas

 

Detailed information on the discontinuity of the Extra Hiper business was presented in the annual financial statements for 2022, in explanatory note n1.1

As part of the reportable Retail segment, the Company operated different store formats, as highlighted in Note 1, including 103 Extra Hiper stores, which operate under the hypermarket model. In line with the strategy of optimizing its store platform and allocating relevant resources to accelerate the growth of the most profitable banners, Management decided to discontinue the operation of stores under the Extra Hiper banner.

Management assessed the transaction in light of IFRS5/CPC31 – “Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation” and concluded that the discontinuation of the 103 Extra Hiper stores (complete transaction) results in the abandonment of an important line of business in the Retail segment , with subsequent sale of non-operating assets (fixed assets, right of use and corresponding and intangible liabilities) to Assaí. Expenses related to store closures, employee termination and labor indemnities are recorded in income from discontinued operations.

 

1.2Segregation and discontinuation of subsidiary Éxito's operations in the Company

On September 5, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors became aware of the results of preliminary studies for the eventual segregation of GPA and Éxito and, based on the results of these preliminary studies, authorized Management to finish the studies about this transaction, as well evaluate the necessary measures for its respective formalization, including all the measures for the creation of Éxito's BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) and ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) programs in Brazil and the United States, respectively.

Notes to the interim financial statements

March 31, 2023

(In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

According to the plan prepared by management, the transaction is expected to occur through a share capital reduction of GPA with the objective of distributing approximately 83% of the shares of Éxito currently held by GPA to its shareholders. Thus, after the distribution of shares, GPA would maintain a minority interest of approximately 13% in Éxito.

On December 30, 2022 Éxito filed an application for registration as a publicly-held company in the category "A", the application for registration of the Level I Brazilian Depository Receipts ("BDR") program with the CVM, and the application for listing of the BDRs with B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa e Balção.

The Company has also completed the necessary pre-clearances from major financial creditors during the year ending 2022.

Management has fulfilled the main requirements of the segregation process of its subsidiary Éxito in 2022, and the transaction is considered highly probable to be completed in the second quarter of 2023. In accordance with CPC 31/IFRS 5, subsidiary Éxito and its subsidiaries were presented at December, 31, 2022 in the financial statemens, and at March, 31, 2023 in these interim financial information as assets held for distribution in the balance sheet and discontinued operations in the result for the year.

At the extraordinary general meeting held on February 14, 2023, a capital reduction of GPA in the amount of R$ 7,133 was approved, through the delivery to GPA's shareholders of 1,080,556,276 common shares issued by Éxito owned by GPA, being 4 shares issued by Éxito for each GPA share.

On April 3rd and 4th, 2023, the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – “CVM”) and B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa Balcão (“B3”), respectively, approved Éxito’s register as a publicly traded company category “A” and the request for registration and negotiation of Éxito’s Brazilian Depositary Receipts Level II (“BDRs”) in B3.  

 The effective formalization of the Transaction is still subject to the approval of Éxito’s American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) Level II before the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the authorizations of the Colombian regulatory entities for transferring Éxito’s ADRs and BDRs to GPA’s shareholders. 

1.3Continuity of operations

Management has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and has concluded that it has the ability to maintain its operations and systems in normal operation. Therefore management is not aware of any material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis

(iii)Agreement between suppliers, the Group and banks

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have certain agreements with financial institutions in order to allow their suppliers to use the Company's lines of credit for prepayment of receivables arising from the sale of goods and services, allowing suppliers to anticipate receivables in the normal course of purchases made by the Company.

Management assessed that the economic substance of the transaction is of an operational nature, considering that the anticipation is at the exclusive discretion of the supplier, and for the Company, there are no changes in the original term negotiated with the supplier, nor changes in the contracted amounts. Management evaluated the potential effects of adjusting these operations to present value and concluded that the effects are immaterial for measurement and disclosure.

These arising liabilities are not considered net debt and do not have restrictive covenants (financial or non-financial) related.

These balances are classified as "agreement suppliers" and payments are made to financial institutions under the same conditions as originally agreed with the supplier. As a result, all cash flow from these operations is presented as operational in the cash flow statement. The balance is equivalent to R$147 at March 31, 2023 (R$595 at December 31, 2022).

(iv)Derivative financial instruments

Net hedge position   - - (83) (58)

 

Gains and losses on these contracts during the period ended March 31, 2023 are recorded as financial expenses, net and the balance payable at fair value is R$83 (payable from R$58 as of December 31, 2022), the asset is recorded in line item “Derivative financial instrument - fair value hedge” and the liability in “Borrowings and financing”.

16.2Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments

 

According to the Management’s assessment, the most probable scenario is what the market has been estimating through market curves (currency and interest rates) of B3.

Therefore, in the probable scenario (I), there is no impact on the fair value of financial instruments. For scenarios (II) and (III), for the sensitivity analysis effect, Management considers an increase of 10% and a decrease of 10%, respectively, on risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments.

For the probable scenario, weighted exchange rate was R$5.47 on the due date, and the weighted interest rate weighted was 12.89% per year.

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

The Company disclosed the net exposure of the derivatives financial instruments, corresponding to financial instruments and certain financial instruments in the sensitivity analysis table below, to each of the scenarios mentioned.

(i)Other financial instruments

16.3Fair value measurements

 

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 amount, in accordance with CPC 46 (“IFRS13”), which refer to the requirements of measurement and disclosure.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables are equivalent to their carrying amounts.

The table below presents the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value is being disclosed in the interim financial information:

  Consolidated
  Carrying amount Fair value  
  03.31.2023 03.31.2023 Level
Financial assets and liabilities      
Trade receibles with credit card companies and sales vouchers 48 48 2

Borrowings and financing and debentures (amortized cost) (6,074) (5,967) 2
Total (6,512) (6,405)  

 

There were no changes between the fair value measurements levels in the period ended March 31, 2023.

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

16.4Consolidated position of derivative transactions

 

The Company and its subsidiaries have derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: Itaú BBA, BBVA, Santander and Banco Popular.

The consolidated position of outstanding derivative financial instruments are presented in the table below:

      Consolidated
Risk Reference value Due date 03.31.2023 12.31.2022
Debt        
USD - BRL US$ 50 millions 2023 (51) (35)
USD - BRL US$ 30 millions 2024 (32) (23)
Interest rate - BRL R$ 21 2026 - -
Total   (83) (58)
         
               

The hedge effects at fair value for the better result of the period ending on March 31, 2023 will result in a loss of R$25 (loss of R$78 on March 31, 2022).

19.3Tax

As per prevailing legislation, tax claims are subject to monetary indexation, which refers to an adjustment to the provision for tax risks according to the indexation rates used by each tax jurisdiction. In all cases, both the interest charges and fines, when applicable, were computed and fully provisioned with respect to unpaid amounts.

The main provisioned tax claims are as follows:

Social Contribution on Net Income

Since 1992 the Company had a res judicata decision regarding the non-payment of Social Contribution on Profits. Since then, the Company treated the assessments related to this issue as remote risk, based on the assessment of its legal advisors.

The Federal Supreme Court decided for the limitation of the res judicata and modulated its effects to reach taxable events as from September 2007 and the assessments after this period were reassessed by the Company, leading to the recognition of a provision for contingencies in the amount of R$614 (R$600 at December 2022).

ICMS

There are assessments by the tax authorities of the State of São Paulo in relation to the reimbursement of tax substitution without due fulfillment of the accessory obligations brought by Ordinance CAT nº17. Considering the proceedings that took place in 2023, the Company maintains a provision of R$335 (R$329 as of December 31, 2022), which represents management's best estimate of the probable effect of loss, related to the evidentiary aspect of the process. In addition to this matter, the Company has received assessments related to the disallowance of electric energy credits. After the judgment of the Federal Supreme Court, which dismissed the lawsuit related to the matter, under the allegation that it is a matter of infra-constitutional law, the Company evaluated and concluded for a provision of R$289 (R$285 as of December 31, 2022) of the lawsuits because it understands that the chances were reduced.

28.Segment information

Management considers that it has just one segment denominated Food retail – includes the banners “Pão de Açúcar”, “Extra Supermercado”, “Mercado Extra”, “Minimercado Extra”, “Minuto Pão de Açúcar”, “Compre Bem”, “Posto Extra and “GPA Malls”.

As described in note 1.2, the Éxito Group, previously presented as a separate segment, is being presented as a discontinued operation and is considered a segment until completion of the distribution of the shares held by the Company to its direct shareholders.

 

The “Other Businesses” also comprise the operations of James (incorporated into the parent company in December, 2022), Stix and the Cdiscount equity.

 

The eliminations of the result and balance sheet are presented within the segment itself.

Expenses related to the discontinuity of Grupo Éxito's operations and the tax on income earned abroad paid in Brazil are considered in the Grupo Éxito segment.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The segment performance is evaluated based on operating income and is measured consistently with operating income in the financial statements.

The Company is engaged in operations of retail stores located in 14 states and the Federal District of Brazil. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker who has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

The chief operating decision-maker allocates resources and assesses performance by reviewing results and other information related to segments.

The Company deems irrelevant the disclosure of information on sales per product category, given that similar products are sold based on each business’ strategies and each segment has its own management controls. Thus, any aggregation product for disclosure is practically impossible.

The Company measures the results of segments using the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and IFRS, among other measures, each segment’s operating profit, which includes certain corporate overhead allocations. At times, the Company reviews the measurement of each segment’s operating profit, including any corporate overhead allocations, as determined by the information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker.

Information on the Company’s segments as of March 31, 2023 is included in the table below:

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“Company”), included in the Interim Financial Information Form (ITR), for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, which comprises the balance sheet as of March 31, 2023 and the related statements of profit and loss, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Reporting and international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards on auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) and international standard IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR), and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.

Other matters

Statements of value added

The aforementioned interim financial information includes the individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management and disclosed as supplementary information for the purposes of international standard IAS 34. These statements have been subject to review procedures performed in conjunction with the review of the ITR to reach a conclusion on whether they are reconciled with the interim financial information and the accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set out in such technical pronouncement and consistently with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

The accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.
