In same-store terms (i.e. stores that have been operational for at least 12 months, therefore excluding the Ponto Frio outlets), gross sales grew by 9.7%, giving real growth of 5.1% when deflated by the General IPCA consumer price index⁽¹⁾, while net sales recorded nominal growth of 12,9%.

Also on a same-store basis, gross food sales grew by 9.0%, with personal care & household cleaning products doing exceptionally well. Non-food sales increased by 11.9%, led by the electronics/household appliance, general merchandise and drugstore categories, which posted higher increases than the non-food average.

The Group’s best-performing formats in the third quarter were Pão de Açúcar, Extra (especially in the Northeast and Midwest), Extra Eletro, Extra Fácil and Assai, whose sales growth was higher than the Company average. E-commerce (Extra.com.br and Pão de Açúcar Delivery) also continued to record exceptional growth.

In the first nine months of 2009,the Company’s gross and net sales recorded respective growth of 11.1% and 14.2%. In same-store terms, gross sales grew by 9.2%, giving real growth of 3.8% after deflation by the General IPCA index⁽¹⁾, above the annual guidance of 2.5%, while same-store net sales recorded nominal growth of 12.1%.

Also on a same-store basis, food and non-food sales increased by 8.3% and 12.0%, respectively.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the third quarter, Grupo Pão de Açúcar’s gross sales increased by 37.1% year-on-year to R$ 6,931.3 million, while net sales recorded an even bigger increase of close to 39.6%, reaching R$ 6,151.0 million.

[Comparable-basis comments – excluding Globex]

In the third quarter, gross profit totaled R$ 1,287.6 million, 8.2% up year-on-year, accompanied by a gross margin of 25.4%, down by 160 bps, impacted by the following factors:

(i) increased impact of the change in the way ICMS (state VAT) is collected on certain products as of the second quarter of 2008, which reduced the gross margin by around 80 bps over 3Q08;

(ii) Assai’s share of the Group’s total sales (excluding Ponto Frio) increased by 290 bps over 9M08. Since the Assai stores operate with lower margins than the Group as a whole, this upturn resulted in a 50 bps reduction in the Group’s gross margin; and

(iii) the strengthening of promotional activities in the third quarter and the higher share of electronics/household appliance sales, whose margins are lower than those of food products, although they contribute to push up the average ticket. These factors reduced the gross margin by a further 30 bps over 3Q08.

In the first nine months, gross profit amounted to R$ 3,731.2 million, 9.5% more than the same period last year, while the gross margin narrowed by 110 bps to 25.3%, of which: (i) 70 bps from the increased impact of the change in the way ICMS is levied; (ii) 30 bps from the increased share of Assai’s sales; and (iii) 10 bps from promotional activities and the increased share of non-food products in total sales.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the third quarter, gross profit totaled R$ 1,525.2 million, with a gross margin of 24.8%.

In the first nine months, gross profit stood at R$ 3,968.9 million, accompanied by a gross margin of 25.1%.

It is worth noticing that the Company has been adopting a strategy of increasing the share of new businesses such as Assai (wholesale/retail), gas stations and electronics/household appliance stores, which has helped reducing the gross margin in recent quarters. On the other hand, this strategy has generated cash margin gains, in line with the Group’s established goals.

[Comparable-basis comments – excluding Globex]

In the third quarter, total operating expenses (including selling and general and administrative expenses) represented 18.4% of net sales, identical to the 2Q09 ratio and lower than the 18.9% recorded in 3Q08, reflecting that the Company’s expenses remain under control. In absolute terms, they totaled R$ 931.2 million, 11.5% up year-on-year.

In the first nine months, total operating expenses came to R$ 2,717.5 million, 9.5% up on 9M08, but below the period sales growth of 11.1%. As a percentage of net sales, they came to 18.5%, 80 bps down on the same period last year.

It is worth remembering that the 1Q08 operating results were affected by restructuring expenses totaling R$ 23.0 million. Excluding this effect, 9M09 operating expenses would have increased by 10.5% in relation to the 9M08 pro-forma result.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the third quarter, total operating expenses amounted to R$ 1,175.2 million, equivalent to 19.1% of net sales.

In the third quarter, the net financial result was R$ 47.9 million negative, 53.6% down year-on-year, mainly due to the period reduction in the average gross debt and the lower CDI rate and to the mark to market of the Company’s financial instruments following the accounting changes introduced by Law 11,638/07.

The Group’s capital structure remains solid, with a reduction in net debt and increased cash flow, resulting in a net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.41x (within the annual guidance of below 1xEBITDA), fortified by the ongoing drive to optimize expenses and investments and maintain control over working capital.

The Company’s total cash position at the close of 3Q09 still contained the amount of R$ 451.8 million following the Company’s private capital increase, which was paid to the shareholders of Globex Utilidades S.A. on October 2, 2009.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the third quarter, the net financial result was negative by R$ 64.7 million. The net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio stood at 0.56x.

Result almost triples in 9M09

In the third quarter, FIC - Financeira Itaú CBD accounted for 12.0% of the Group’s total sales, closing the quarter with 5.9 million clients and a receivables portfolio of R$ 1.7 billion. As a result, it generated equity income of R$ 2.0 million, versus a negative R$ 199,000 in 3Q08.

In the first nine months, equity income totaled R$ 9.3 million, more than triple the 9M08 figure, once again exceeding the Company’s expectations and reflecting the initiatives implemented throughout 2008, which generated important portfolio gains, kept default under control thanks to a rigorous credit-granting policy and led to a differentiated positioning in regard to the competition.

Sendas Distribuidora

Net income of R$ 67.3 million in the quarter

Gross profit came to R$ 69.0 million, with a gross margin of 13.7%, less than the 15.5% recorded in 2Q09.

Excluding the Rio stores, Assai (São Paulo and Ceará) recorded an EBITDA margin of 3.8%. Period net income stood at R$ 4.4 million, versus R$ 7.5 million in 3Q08.

In the first nine months, gross and net sales came to R$ 1,499.2 million and R$ 1,350.7 million, respectively. Gross profit totaled R$ 192.8 million, 55.5% up year-on-year, with a margin of 14.3%. Total operating expenses amounted to R$ 168.1 million, equivalent to 12.4% of net sales. EBITDA stood at R$ 24.8 million, with a margin of 1.8% (3.4% excluding the Rio stores).

In addition, at the end of August, Grupo Pão de Açúcar and Banco Itaú-Unibanco concluded the renegotiation of the association agreement involving FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD), which resulted in the payment of R$ 600 million by Banco Itaú-Unibanco and a consequent increase in the Company’s cash position.

However, the positive impact of this transaction was offset by the period reappraisal and write-down of assets and contingencies, resulting in a positive effect on adjusted net income of R$ 52.2 million.

REFIS 11,941/2009:

Given the benefits generated by Law 11,941/09, which altered the legislation regarding the payment of federal tax debts in installments, during the the quarter ended September 30, 2009, Management, together with its legal advisors, evaluated all the administrative proceedings and lawsuits held by the Company with RFB – Brazil’s Internal Revenue Service, including tax and social security debts evaluated for risks of possible and/or probable losses and opted for the partial inclusion of lawsuits in the installment program. Due to the Supreme Federal Court (STF)’s recent decision on the constitutionality of the COFINS increase (Law 9,718/99) in a similar lawsuit and the possibility of formalizing this case law against the taxpayers’ interests that uphold said discussion, the Company and its subsidiaries opted to adhere to the installment payment enacted by Law 11,941/09.

The net variation in tax installment payments and provisions for contingencies resulted in a total reduction of R$ 76 million.

Investments

The Group invested R$ 215.7 million in 3Q09

In the third quarter, investments totaled R$ 215.7 million, versus R$ 107.0 million in 3Q08. Most of the funds went to the opening of 11 new stores in Paulo – seven Extra Fácil outlets, two Assai stores, one Extra hypermarket and one Pão de Açúcar store.

The main highlights of the quarter were:

R$ 92.1 million in the opening and construction of new stores;
R$ 84.5 million in store renovation;
R$ 39.1 million in infrastructure (technology and logistics) and others.

In the first nine months, investments totaled R$ 429.8 million, versus R$ 330.8 million in the same period last year.

Dividends

On November 11, the Board of Directors approved the payment of R$ 15.5 million as advanced dividends relative to the third quarter of 2009, pursuant to the dividend policy approved on August 3, 2009, at R$ 0.060126452 per common share and R$ 0.066139097 per preferred class A share. Payment will be effected on November 30, 2009.

Shareholders registered as such on the base date of November 18, 2009, will be entitled to receive the payment. As of November 19, 2009, shares will be traded ex-dividends until the payment date.

It is worth remembering that the final installment (4Q09) will include the difference between the amount prepaid throughout the year and the minimum mandatory dividends based on the Company’s 2009 performance. This payment will take place after the Company’s accounts and the allocation of 2009 net income have been approved by the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

Globex Utilidades S.A.

Banco Investcred posts 3Q09 net income of R$ 7.0 million

On June 8, 2009, Grupo Pão de Açúcar informed its shareholders and the market in general that it was beginning the process of acquiring the Ponto Frio chain (Globex Utilidades S.A.), transforming the Group into the Brazilian retail sector leader, with more than 1,000 stores and almost 80,000 employees and reaffirming its commitment to growing in the non-food (electronics/household appliance) segment. After the acquisition, the Company’s market share of this segment more than doubled, rising from 10% to 26%.

The third quarter of 2009 was marked by the transfer of control of Globex S.A. to Grupo Pão de Açúcar. Consequently, Globex’s 3Q09 operating and financial results, which also include 50% of Banco Investcred’s results, were consolidated into Grupo Pão de Açúcar’s results.

Working groups comprising Grupo Pão de Açúcar and Ponto Frio employees were set up to map existing synergy opportunities, aided by Galeazzi Associados. As a result, several decisions were taken with the aim of re-establishing profitable sales growth, with a focus on the client. The first results of this process have already become apparent, especially as of September, which recorded substantial sales growth.

In the third quarter, Ponto Frio accounted for 18.5% of the Group’s total sales. Gross sales totaled R$ 1,278.9 million, 9.1% more than in 3Q08 (+6.8% in same-store terms), while net sales climbed by 15.8% to R$ 1,076,8 million.

This significant upturn was the fruit of several measures taken by Grupo Pão de Açúcar to increase sales, including: (i) extending non-interest-bearing payment terms; (ii) aggressive media and promotional campaigns; (iii) enabling the use of GPA cards in Ponto Frio stores; and (iv) allowing payments in up to 15 installments for purchases with the Ponto Frio Flex Card.

Gross profit totaled R$ 237.7 million, accompanied by a gross margin of 22.2%, mainly impacted by the effect of the change in the way ICMS tax was levied in São Paulo state.

Total operating expenses represented 22.7% of net sales and EBITDA was a negative R$ 5.2 million, with a negative margin of 0.5%, a substantial improvement over the negative 32.2% recorded in 2Q09.

Banco Investcred Unibanco posted net income of R$ 7.0 million in the quarter, making a positive contribution to the 3Q09 result of Globex Utilidades S.A., which was a net loss of R$ 40.7 million.
