INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
To the Shareholders, Board of Directors and Officers
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
São Paulo - SP
Opinion
We have audited the individual and consolidated financial statements of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“Company”), identified as Individual and Consolidated, respectively, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2020, and the statements of profit or loss, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the individual and consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020, and its individual and consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the relevant ethical principles set forth in the Code of Professional Ethics for Accountants and the professional standards issued by Brazil’s National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (CFC), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Emphasis of matter - Restatement of corresponding figures due to spin-off of the subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora S.A.
As mentioned in Note 2, as a result of the spin-off of the subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora S.A. at December 31, 2020, the corresponding figures referring to the prior-year consolidated statements of profit or loss and of value added, presented for comparison purposes, were adjusted and are being restated, as provided for in Accounting Pronouncement NBC TG 31/IFRS 5 - Noncurrent assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide an individual opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter, including any commentary on the findings or outcome of our procedures, is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.
Realization of State VAT (ICMS) credits
At December 31, 2020, the balance of State VAT (ICMS) credits totaled R$1,428 million in the individual statements and R$1,435 million in the consolidated statements, as disclosed in Note 10. The ICMS credit recoverability analysis was significant for our audit as the amounts of these credits are material in relation to the individual and consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and because the preparation of this analysis involves judgment by the Company management in determining the projections of future ICMS debts in its operations, including consideration of special taxation regimes. These projections could be impacted by future market and economic conditions.
How our audit addressed this matter:
Our audit included the following procedures, among others: i) understanding of the process implemented by management to prepare the annual analysis of recoverability of tax credits, including assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control implemented by the Company referring to this annual process and to the preparation of projections used by management; ii) assessment of the reasonableness of the data used in the preparation of the annual tax credit recoverability analysis, including the mathematical accuracy of the calculations made in such analysis; iii) involvement of our indirect tax specialists in assessing the application of tax legislation and special taxation regimes for the projections used in the annual tax credit recoverability analysis; and (iv) review of the adequacy of the respective disclosures in the financial statements.
Based on the results of the audit procedures carried out on the annual tax credit recoverability analysis, which is consistent with management's assessment, we consider that the criteria and assumptions associated with the recoverability of the ICMS credits adopted by management, as well as the respective disclosures in the explanatory notes, are acceptable, in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.

Tax contingencies assessed as possible loss
As disclosed in Note 22.6, the Company is a party to administrative and judicial proceedings arising from various tax contingencies, totaling R$10,081 million, for which no provision was recorded as at December 31, 2020, given that the likelihood of loss was assessed as possible based on the information available on that date.
Management uses significant judgment to determine whether the technical arguments used by the Company are more likely than not to be successful in the judicial discussion of such proceedings in court, considering the complexity of the tax environment in Brazil and the absence of case law on certain tax matters. In this assessment, management counts on the assistance of external legal advisors.
Management's assessment of the likelihood of loss of tax contingencies was significant for our audit as it is complex and involves significant judgment based on interpretations of tax legislation and legal rules.
How our audit addressed this matter:
Our audit included the following procedures, among others: i) understanding of the process implemented by management, including assessment of the design and operating effectiveness of internal control implemented by the Company for identification, monitoring and evaluation of tax proceedings, to determine whether the technical arguments used by management are more likely than not to succeed in courts; ii) obtaining confirmation letters directly from the Company's external legal advisors and use of our knowledge and experience on application of tax legislation by tax authorities to evaluate the judgments made by the Company management regarding tax proceedings; iii) involvement of our tax specialists to evaluate the technical arguments presented by management and analysis of a sample of opinions or legal guidance from external advisors obtained by the Company; and (iv) review of the adequacy of the respective disclosures in the financial statements.
Based on the result of the audit procedures carried out on the judgments and assessments of the likelihood of loss on the tax proceedings rated as possible loss, which is consistent with management's assessment, we consider that the criteria and assumptions adopted to determine the likelihood of loss on such proceedings, as well as the respective disclosures in the explanatory notes, are acceptable, in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.
Corporate reorganization
As disclosed in Note 1, at the General and Special Shareholders’ Meeting of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora S.A. ("Sendas"), held on December 31, 2020, shareholders of both companies approved the proposal for corporate reorganization previously approved on December 14, 2020 by the Board of Directors of both companies.
As a result of this corporate reorganization, the Company management deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of Sendas from consolidation and presented Sendas’ profit or loss as discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss and in the corresponding prior-year period. This matter was considered significant for our audit due to the complexity arising from this corporate reorganization, the aspects related to accounting records, the adequate presentation of Sendas’ profit or loss as discontinued operations, and the appropriate disclosure in the explanatory notes.

How our audit addressed this matter:
Our audit procedures included the following, among others: (i) review of the corporate reorganization agreement and all other related corporate legal documents; (ii) check of the accounting records and their consistency with the documents presented in the register of approval of general and special shareholders’ meetings; (iii) review of the technical accounting memoranda prepared by the Company management; and (iv) review of the adequacy of the respective disclosures in the financial statements.
Based on the result of the audit procedures carried out regarding the adequacy of the accounting treatment given to the Company's corporate reorganization, which is consistent with management's assessment, we consider that the recording of the transaction and the respective disclosures in the explanatory notes are acceptable, in the context of the financial statements taken as a whole.
Other matters
Statements of value added
The individual and consolidated statements of value added (SVA) for the year ended December 31, 2020, prepared under the responsibility of the Company management and presented as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, were submitted to audit procedures conducted jointly with the audit of the Company's financial statements. To form our opinion, we evaluated if these statements are reconciled to the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content comply with the criteria defined by Accounting Pronouncement NBC TG 09 – Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, the individual and consolidated statements of value added were prepared fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in the above-mentioned accounting pronouncement, and are consistent in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.
Other information accompanying the individual and consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report
Management is responsible for such other information, which comprise the Management Report.
Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the individual and consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
· | Identified and assessed risks of material misstatements of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtained audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
· | Obtained an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ internal control. |
· | Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
7 |
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2020 |
· | Concluded on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
· | Evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represented the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
· | Obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group's audit and, consequently, for the audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including applicable independence requirements, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We described these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

2020 proved to be a year of many challenges and a new reality of life imposed by the global pandemic. However, we made important progress on strategic fronts that were decisive in consolidating the Group's footprint and business performance in South America.
We ended the period with approval for the spin-off of the Cash & Carry operation, which enabled the creation of two entirely independent companies - Assaí and GPA - and drive growth in their respective markets.
We retained our position as South America's largest food retail group, with a diversified portfolio of banners and brand leaders in Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Uruguay.
However, the period demanded agility, resilience and adaptability, and our multichannel, multiformat and multiregional approach helped us to quickly adapt ourselves to the scenario. We brought forward initiatives in record time, maintaining the operation fully functional while ensuring the safety of our customers and employees.
At GPA, adjusting the portfolio of brick-and-mortar stores was one of the priority actions during the year: our new commercial actions at Extra Hiper were successful, with 23 stores already adapted and rollout planned for the remainder of the portfolio in 2021.
We practically concluded the conversions of Extra Super to Mercado Extra stores, with a more competitive positioning for the regional market. And Pão de Açúcar, which remains resilient, will move forward with the expansion of the main concepts of the G7 store model and the resumption of organic store openings in the second half of this year. Proximity stores demonstrated excellent adherence to the new consumption reality in which people seek neighborhood stores: expansion of the Minuto Pão de Açúcar format is among our priorities for 2021.
An important driver of building loyalty and profitability for the business, Private-Label Brands achieved 20% share of Brazil’s food business in the year, with new products and revised assortment, which resulted in a very high penetration of 80% among our customers.
It was a year of profound transformation in how we live and consume, and food e-commerce played an important role and received significant impetus from the expansion of our logistics solutions, backed by exclusive warehouses, stores dedicated to e-commerce and Click & Collect deliveries, as well as the last mile option.
Our e-commerce sales in 2020 surpassed R$1.1 billion, a threefold growth from the previous year, expanding its share of both the food business and the e-commerce market in Brazil. Our database of omnichannel customers, who consume on average 2.7 times more than customers who purchase only from brick-and-mortar stores, doubled in 4Q20 compared to 4Q19.
We took an important step towards consolidating the GPA digital platform with the launch of Marketplace last year. In 2021, we plan to significantly expand the assortment for both 1P and 3P, offering an increasingly more comprehensive purchase basket through our electronic channels.
Stix, the largest coalition rewards program in Brazil's retail sector, in partnership with Raia Drogasil, was another tool to build customer loyalty, alongside the existing loyalty programs Pão de Açúcar Mais and Clube Extra, which have over 20.6 million registered customers.

Grupo Éxito maintained its customer-centric strategy and, notably, successfully innovated and adapted itself to the evolving needs triggered by the pandemic. The business registered gross revenue of R$24.7 billion in the year, driven by growth of the Wow and Carulla FreshMarket formats and by the expansion of the omnichannel strategy in all the countries where the Company operates.
The omnichannel initiatives also made considerable progress in the year, with sales totaling R$2 billion (R$1 billion in food) and 12.4% of the online channel's share coming from the Colombian operation, a benchmark in Latin America. In addition, the Puntos Colombia loyalty program registered 13.4 million customers and was integrated to the company's commercial ecosystem to enable further development of the marketplace.
In a year of so many challenges, social and environmental issues gained prominence. In Brazil, we updated our Social and Environmental Policy on Sourcing Beef and published the Social and Environmental Policy for Sourcing Palm Oil Products and the Group's Environmental Policy, in continuation of our initiatives to combat deforestation and climate change. We advanced in our commitment to reducing carbon emissions, which was included as a target for variable compensation of all Group executives in 2021.
In a pioneering move in Brazil's retail sector, we extended our Animal Welfare commitments to chains other than eggs, including good practices for the production of broiler, pork and beef. In the diversity and inclusion agenda, we intensified our efforts, publishing the Diversity and Human Rights Policy and conducting training programs for all employees and contractors to promote human rights and combat all types of discrimination.
The GPA Institute, the Group’s social investments arm, played a fundamental role in donating food, which benefited more than 4,000 families during the pandemic. The Fundação Éxito, which is committed to eradicating chronic child malnutrition, delivered approximately 255,000 food baskets, benefiting nearly 112,000 children.
The Company's consistent efforts combined with sustainable practices were recognized by its inclusion in the 2021 portfolio of the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) of B3 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão. We were also rated B+ by CDP Climate (B- in 2019) and won the Corporate Excellence Award at the Out & Equal LGBTQI+ Brazil 2020 forum for actions to promote respect and a diverse and equitable workplace.
Grupo Éxito, for its part, was the only food retailer in Latin America to be recognized for its sustainability standards, for the second straight year in the Sustainability Yearbook 2021 of Standard and Poor’s ESG.
We ended 2020 proud of our trajectory. In 2021, we will continue to adapt our portfolio to market needs, with the focus on executing our strategy of serving clients of all profiles, backed by the omnichannel approach and an increasingly integrated digital platform. Operational excellence, constant innovation and strengthening of the value proposition of selected formats are the Company’s priorities in Brazil, along with maintaining high Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards.
At Grupo Éxito, apart from the digital presence and strong omnichannel approach, its leadership of the food retail market in Colombia and Uruguay will continue to pave the way for a strong and resilient operation in 2021. The robust ecosystem will also bring monetization opportunities and, consequently, improved customer experience.

We started the year with more positive signs in relation to the public health crisis, though we are certain that we will have major macroeconomic challenges to overcome. However, we remain optimistic about maintaining business growth in a continuous process of transformation, keeping step with technological advances and consumption trends, while dealing in a conscientious and responsible manner with all of our stakeholders.

The Company has an important commitment to society to continue taking products to our consumers. We had no problems in supplying the industries that continued to supply our distribution centers and stores.
On March 10, 2020, the CVM issued CVM-SNC / SEP Circular Letter No. 02/2020, instructing publicly-held companies to carefully assess the impacts of COVID-19 on their business and disclose the main risks in the financial statements and uncertainties arising from this analysis, observing the applicable accounting standards.
Accordingly, the Company carried out a complete analysis of the financial statements, in addition to updating the analyzes on the Company's operational continuity. The main themes evaluated were:

3. | Significant accounting policies |
The main accounting policies and practices are described in each corresponding explanatory note, except those below that are related to more than one explanatory note. Accounting policies and practices have been consistently applied to the years presented and to the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements.
3.1 Financial instruments
Financial assets are recognized when the Company or its subsidiaries assume contractual rights to receive cash or other financial assets from contracts to which they are a party. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash tied to the financial asset expire or the risks and benefits are substantially transferred to third parties. Assets and liabilities are recognized when rights and / or obligations are retained in the transfer by the Company.
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company and/or its subsidiaries assume contractual obligations for settlement in cash or in the assumption of third party obligations through a contract to which they are a party. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are settled, extinguished or expired.
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a period defined by regulation or market convention (trading under normal conditions) are recognized on the trade date, that is, on the date on which the Company and its subsidiaries undertake to whether to buy or sell the asset.
(i) Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities
According to CPC 48 / IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured: at amortized cost; fair value through other results (“FVOCI”) - or fair value through results (“FVPL”). The classification of financial assets according to CPC 48 / IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and on its contractual cash flow characteristics. Embedded derivatives in which the master contract is a financial asset within the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument is rated for classification as a whole.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as measured at FVPL:
• is maintained within a business model whose objective is to maintain financial assets to receive contractual cash flows; and
• its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are related to the payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
A debt instrument is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as measured at FVPL:
• is maintained within a business model whose objective is achieved both by receiving contractual cash flows and by selling financial assets; and
• its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
In the initial recognition of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably choose to present subsequent changes in the fair value of the investment
35 |
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
in other comprehensive income (“ORA”). This choice is made investment by investment.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or VJORA, as described above, are classified as VJR. This includes all derivative financial assets. Upon initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost, VJORA or VJR if this eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise (fair value option available in CPC 48 / IFRS 9).
A financial asset (unless it is an accounts receivable from customers without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value, plus, for an item not measured at FVPL, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to your acquisition.
Financial assets measured at FVPL - These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The net result, including interest or dividend income, is recognized in the result.
Financial assets at amortized cost - These assets are measured subsequently to the amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and losses are recognized in income. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in income.
Financial assets to FVOCI - These assets are measured subsequently at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized in income. Other net results are recognized in OCI. Upon derecognition, the accumulated result in OCI is reclassified to the result.
(ii) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities
A financial asset (or, as the case may be, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:
• Expiry rights to receive cash flows.
• The Company and its subsidiaries transfer their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or assume an obligation to fully pay the cash flows received to a third party, pursuant to a transfer agreement; and (a) the Company substantially transferred all the risks and benefits related to the asset; or (b) the Company did not transfer, nor substantially retained all the risks and benefits related to the asset, but transferred its control.
When the Company and its subsidiaries assign their rights to receive cash flows from an asset or enter into a transfer agreement, without substantially transferring or retaining all the risks and benefits related to the asset or transferring control of the asset, the asset is maintained and recognizes a corresponding liability. The transferred asset and the corresponding liability are measured in a way that reflects the rights and obligations retained by the Company and its subsidiaries.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation underlying the liability is paid, canceled or expired.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same creditor, under substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such replacement or modification is treated as derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability, and
the difference between the respective book values is recognized in the income for the year.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
(iii) Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and presented stated net in the financial statements, only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention of settling them on a net basis or realizing the assets and settling the liabilities simultaneously.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to limit the exposure to variation not related to the local market such as interest rate and exchange rate swaps. These derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Derivatives are accounted for as financial assets when their fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized as financial income or expenses.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it intends to apply hedge accounting and its objective and risk management strategy for contracting the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Company will assess the effectiveness of the changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the fair value of the hedged item or cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. These hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine if they actually have been highly effective throughout the periods for which they were designated.
The following are recognized as fair value hedges, in accordance with the procedures below:
• | The change in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument classified as fair value hedging is recognized as financial result. The change in the fair value of the hedged item is recorded as a part of the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognized in the statement of operations. |
• | In order to calculate the fair value, debts and swaps are measured through rates disclosed in the financial market and projected up to their maturity date. The discount rate used in the calculation by the interpolation method for borrowings denominated in foreign currency is developed through DDI curves, free coupon and DI, indexes disclosed by the B3 (the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange), whereas for borrowings denominated in reais, the Company uses the DI curve, an index published by the CETIP and calculated through the exponential interpolation method. |
The Company uses financial instruments only to protect identified risks limited to 100% of the value of these risks. Derivative transactions are exclusively used to reduce exposure to foreign currency and interest rate fluctuation, in order to maintain the balance of the capital structure.
37 |
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Cash flow hedge
Derivative instruments are recorded as cash flow hedge, using the following principles:
• The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly in equity in other comprehensive income. In case the hedge relationship no longer meets the hedging ratio but the objective of management risk remains unchanged, the Company should “rebalance” the hedge ratio to meet the eligibility criteria.
• Any remaining gain or loss on the hedge instrument (including arising from the "rebalancing" of the hedge ratio) is ineffective, and therefore should be recognized in profit or loss.
• Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are immediately transferred to the income statement together with the hedged transaction by affecting the income statement, for example, when the hedge financial income or expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.
• The Company should prospectively discontinue hedge accounting only when the hedge relationship no longer meets the qualification criteria (after taking into account any rebalancing of the hedge relationship).
• If the expected transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected, amounts previously recognized in OCI are transferred to the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its hedge classification is revoked, gains or losses previously recognized in comprehensive income remain deferred in equity in other comprehensive income until the expected transaction or firm commitment affect the profit or loss.
Impairment of financial assets
��
CPC 48 / IFRS 9 replaces the “incurred loss” model of CPC 38 / IAS 39 with an expected credit losses model. The new impairment loss model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contractual assets and debt instruments measured at FVOCI, but does not apply to investments in equity instruments (shares) or financial assets measured at FVPL.
According to CPC 48 / IFRS 9, provisions for losses are measured at one of the following bases:
• | Credit losses expected for 12 months (general model): these are credit losses that result in possible default events within 12 months from the balance sheet date and, subsequently, in case of deterioration of the credit risk, throughout the life of the instrument. |
• | Full lifetime expected credit losses (simplified model): these are credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. |
• | Practical expedient: these are expected credit losses that are consistent with reasonable and sustainable information available, on the balance sheet date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, which enable the verification of probable future loss based on the historical credit loss occurred in accordance with the maturity of securities. |
38 |
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
The Company chose to measure provisions for losses from accounts receivable and other receivables and contractual assets at an amount that equals the credit loss expected for the full lifetime, and for trade accounts receivable, whose portfolio of receivables is fragmented, CDCI, rents receivable, wholesale accounts receivable and accounts receivable from freight companies, the practical expedient was applied through the adoption of a matrix of losses for each maturity range.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset increased significantly since its initial recognition and while estimating the expected credit losses, the Company takes into account reasonable and sustainable information that is relevant and available free of cost or excessive effort. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company’s historical experience, during credit appraisal and considering information about projections.
The Company assumes that the credit risk of a financial asset increased significantly if the asset is overdue more than 90 days.
The Company considers a financial asset as in default when:
• | There is little likelihood that the debtor will fully pay their obligations to the Company, without resorting to actions such as execution of guarantees (if any); or |
• | The financial asset is overdue more than 90 days. |
The Company determined the credit risk of a debt security by analyzing the payment history, financial and macroeconomic conditions of the counterparty and the assessment of rating agencies, when applicable, thereby assessing each debt security individually.
The maximum period considered when estimating the expected credit loss is the maximum contractual period during which the company is exposed to the credit risk.
Measurement of expected credit losses – Expected credit losses are estimates weighted by the probability of credit losses based on historical losses and projections of related assumptions. Credit losses are measured at present value based on all cash insufficiencies (i.e. the differences between the cash flows owed to the Company according to contracts and the cash flows the Company expects to receive).
Expected credit losses are discounted by the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Financial assets with credit recovery problems – On each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether the financial assets recorded at amortized cost and the debt securities measured at FVOCI show any indication of impairment. A financial asset shows “indication of impairment loss” in the occurrence of one or more events with negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset.
Presentation of impairment loss – Provision for losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross book value of the assets.
For financial instruments measured at FVOCI, the provision for losses is recognized in OCI, instead of deducting the book value of the asset.
Impairment losses related to trade accounts receivable and other receivables, including contractual assets, are presented separately in the statement of income and OCI. Impairment of other financial assets is reported under “selling expenses”.

Accounts receivable and contractual assets – The Company considers the model and some of the assumptions used in the calculation of these expected credit losses as the main sources of uncertainty in the estimate.
The positions within each group were segmented based on common credit risk characteristics, such as:
• | Credit risk level and historical losses – for wholesale clients and property rental; and |
• | Delinquency status, default risk and historical losses – for credit card operators and other clients. |
Adjustment to present value of assets and liabilities
Long-term assets and liabilities are adjusted to their present value, calculated taking into account the contractual cash flows and the respective interest rate, explicit or implicit. Short-term assets and liabilities are not adjusted to present value.
3.2. | Foreign currency transactions |
Foreign currency transactions are initially recognized at the market value of the corresponding currencies on the date the transaction qualifies for recognition.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into Real, according to the exchange rates of the respective currencies at the end of the years. Differences arising from the payment or translation of monetary items are recognized in the financial result.
3.3. | Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current |
The Company presents the assets and liabilities in the financial statement based on the classification of current and non-current.
The asset should be classified as current when it meets any of the following criteria:
• Expected to be carried out, or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal course of the entity's operating cycle
• Is maintained essentially for the purpose of being traded
• It is expected to take place up to twelve months after the balance sheet date
• Is cash or cash equivalent (as defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 03/IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows), unless its exchange or use for settlement of liabilities is prohibited for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date
All other assets must be classified as non-current.
Liabilities should be classified as current when they meet any of the following criteria:
• Expected to be settled during the entity's normal operating cycle
• Is maintained essentially for the purpose of being traded
• Must be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date
• The entity has no unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date
All other liabilities must be classified as non-current.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as “non-current”, net by legal entity, as provided for in CPC32/ IAS12.
3.4. | Translation of subsidiaries and associates located in other countries |
The financial statements are presented in reais, which is the parent company's functional currency. Each entity determines its functional currency and all of its financial transactions are measured in that currency.
The financial statements of subsidiaries located in other countries that use a functional currency other than that of the parent company are translated into reais at the balance sheet date, according to the following criteria:
· | Assets and liabilities, including goodwill and market value adjustments, are translated into reais at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. |
· | Income statement and cash flow statement are translated into reais using the average rate, unless significant variations occur, when the rate on the transaction date is used. |
· | Equity accounts are maintained at the historical balance in reais and the variation is recorded under the equity valuation adjustments item as other comprehensive income. |
Exchange rate differences are recognized directly in a separate component of equity. When a foreign operation is sold, the accumulated amount of exchange variation adjustment in shareholders' equity is recorded in the income statement for the year.
Effects of converting the investment in a foreign operation are recognized in separate components of shareholders' equity and reclassified to profit or loss for the year when the investment is written off.
3.5. | Hyperinflation |
As of September 2018, Argentina has become considered a hyperinflationary economy. According to CPC 42 / IAS 29 - Accounting and Disclosure in Highly Inflationary Economy based on the current cost approach, non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity and operating results of indirect subsidiary Libertad, headquartered in Argentina, a direct subsidiary of Éxito, whose currency functional is the Argentine peso, they are being adjusted so that the values are disclosed in the measurement monetary unit at the end of the year.
This unit considers the effects measured by the Consumer Price Index (“IPC”) in Argentina as of January 1, 2017 and the Domestic Retail Price Index in Argentina (“IPIM”) until December 31, 2016.

4.2. | CPC 06 (R2) / IFRS 16 - Leasing operations |
CPC 06 (R2)/IFRS 16 establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leasing operations and requires lessees to account for all leases in accordance with a single balance sheet model, similar to accounting for financial leases in according to CPC 06 (R1)/IAS 17.

7. | Trade receivables |
Trade receivables balances are initially recorded at the transaction amount, wich corresponds to the sale value, and are subsequently measured according to the portfolio: (i) fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), in the case of receivables from credit card and (ii) amortized cost, mainly a customer portfolios.
Credit losses on financial assets are measured at amortized cost deducted by the gross assets carrying amount.
For financial instruments measured at FVOCI, estimated losses are recorded in OCI instead of reduce the carrying amount of the asset.
At each reporting date, the Company evaluates if the financial assets recorded at amortized cost or FVOCI show any indication of impairment. A financial asset shows indication of impairment loss when there is one or more events with adverse impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset.
Receivables are considered irrecoverable and therefore written off from the accounts receivable portfolio, when the payment is not made after 360 days from the due date. At each annual closing of the balance sheets, the Company and its subsidiaries assess whether the assets or groups of financial assets have impairment.

9. | Inventories |
Inventories are accounted for at cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. Inventories purchased are recorded at average cost, including warehouse and handling costs, to the extent these costs are necessary to bring inventories available for sale in the stores, less bonuses received from suppliers.
Net realizable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to sell, such as: (i) taxes on the sale; (ii) personnel expenses directly linked to the sale; (iii) cost of the goods; and (iv) other costs necessary to bring the goods in a condition of sale.
Inventories are reduced to their recoverable value through estimates for the provision for losses, and shrinkage, scrap, slow turnover of goods and estimation of loss for goods that will be sold with negative gross margin, which is periodically analyzed and evaluated for its adequacy.
Bonuses received from suppliers are measured and recognized based on contracts and agreements signed, and recorded in the statement of operations when the corresponding inventories are sold. Includes purchase volume agreement, logistics and specific negotiations to recover margin, reimbursement agreement (marketing expenses), among others, and are deducted from payables to the respective suppliers, once the Company is contractually entitled to settle trade payables net of these bonuses.

10. | Recoverable taxes |
The Company records tax credits, whenever it gathers legal, documentary and factual understanding about such credits that allow their recognition, including the realization estimate, with ICMS being recognized as a “cost of goods sold” reduction and PIS and COFINS as a reducer of the income accounts on which the credits are calculated.
These taxes are realized based on growth projections, operational issues and generation of debts for consumption of these credits by the Group's companies.

10.1. | ICMS (State VAT) tax credits |
Since 2008, the Brazilian States have been substantially changing their laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax substitution system (“ICMS-ST”). Referred system implies the prepayment of ICMS throughout the commercial chain, upon goods outflow from manufacturer or importer or their inflow into the State. The expansion of such system to a wider range of products traded at retail is based on the assumption that the trading cycle of these products will end in the State, so that ICMS is fully owed thereto.
In order to supply its stores, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain distribution centers strategically located in certain States and in the Federal District, which receive goods with ICMS-ST of the entire supply chain (by force of tax replacement) already prepaid by suppliers or the Company and subsidiaries, and then the goods are shipped to locations in other States. Such interstate shipment entitles the Company and subsidiaries to a refund reimbursement of prepaid ICMS, i.e., the ICMS of the commercial chain paid in acquisition becomes a tax credit to be refunded, pursuant to the State laws.
The refund process requires the evidence through tax documents and digital files of the operations that entitled the Company to refund. Only after its previous legal ratification by State Tax Authorities and/or compliance with specific ancillary obligations aiming to support these credits, which occurs in periods after these credits are generated.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Since the number of items traded at retail, subject to tax substitution, has been continuously increasing, the tax credits to be refunded by the Company and subsidiaries have also grown. The Company and its subsidiaries have been using such authorized tax credits to offset with state tax liabilities owed after having obtained the Special Regime and also through other procedures covered by state rules.
For credits that cannot be offset immediately, the Company’s Management understands that in future realization is probable based on a technical recovering study, on the expectation of future growth and the offset against debts deriving from its operations. These studies were prepared and periodically revised based on information extracted from strategic planning previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. For the financial statement as of December 31, 2020, Management has implemented monitoring controls over the progress of the plan annually established, assessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of ICMS tax credits, as shown below.
Parent Company | Consolidated | ||
Up to one year | 260 | 261 | |
From 1 to 2 years | 175 | 175 | |
From 2 to 3 years | 167 | 173 | |
From 3 to 4 years | 157 | 157 | |
From 4 to 5 years | 153 | 153 | |
More than 5 years | 516 | 516 | |
1,428 | 1,435 |
10.2. | PIS and COFINS credit |
The evidence leading the Company to conclude on the PIS and COFINS credit entitlement includes i) interpretation of tax legislation, ii) internal and external factors, such as case law and market interpretations that were part of the analysis, and iii) analysis by external legal advisors regarding the issues and iv) accounting assessment on the issue.
On October 29, 2020, the Company obtained a favorable decision in its individual lawsuit, resulting in the recording of tax credit in the amount of R$1,609 (of which R$613 in the financial result), net of provisions for installments, which, eventually, considered unrealizable. The offsetting of this tax credit is subject to certain administrative proceedings with the Brazilian Tax Authorities and the Company estimates it will be realized in 5 (five) years. See note 22.9.
In relation to PIS and COFINS assets, the Company assessed recent procedural progress in certain cases and proceeded to write off PIS/COFINS assets in the amount of R$168, on December 31, 2020, of amounts without expectation of realization.
The realization of the PIS and Cofins balance is shown below:
Parent Company | Consolidated | ||
Up to one year | 30 | 70 | |
From 1 to 2 years | 297 | 297 | |
From 2 to 3 years | 300 | 300 | |

13. | Business Combinations and goodwill |
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the sum of the consideration transferred, measured at fair value on the acquisition date, and the remaining amount of non-controlling interest in the acquired company. For each business combination, the acquirer measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at fair value or by the proportionate share in the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The acquisition costs incurred are treated as an expense and included in administrative expenses.
When the Company acquires a business, it assesses the financial acquired assets and liabilities assumed for the appropriate classification and designation according to the contractual terms, the economic circumstances and the relevant conditions on the date of the acquisition. This includes the separation of derivatives embedded in contracts by the acquired company.
Any contingent payments to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent payment considered as an asset or liability will be recognized through profit or loss.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost and is the excess between the consideration transferred and the non-controlling interest in assets and assumed liabilities, if this payment is lower than the fair value of the acquirer’s net assets, the difference is recognized in profit or loss as bargain purchase gain.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, as of the acquisition date, allocated to the operating segment that will benefit from the business combination, regardless of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire will be assigned to the operating segment.
When goodwill is part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation at this unit is sold, the goodwill related to the sold operation is included in the book amount of the operation when calculating profit or loss from the sale of the operation. This goodwill is then measured based on the relative amounts of the sold operation and part of the cash-generating unit which was maintained.
13.1. | Acquisition of Almacenes Exito - Colombia |
On June 26, 2019, a recommendation from the Company's final controlling shareholder, Casino, was presented at a meeting of the GPA Board of Directors. Aiming the simplification of the structure of the Casino in Latin America, a significant improvement in governance and an increase in the basis of potential investors.
Transactions under common control are not provided for in IFRS, however transactions for the purpose of merely corporate reorganization have been treated at cost historically by the Company. The acquisition of Èxito Group differed from a reorganization because it had a commercial substance, being carried out at market value validated by evaluation committees, involved a public offering launched by GPA, through its subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora SA (“Sendas”), with a view to the acquisition, in cash, of all the shares of Éxito, a publicly-held company located in Colombia. Due to the economic substance, the Company applied CPC 15R / IFRS 3R.
The transaction also involved the acquisition by Casino of the indirect all GPA's share control shares currently held indirectly by Éxito at the price of R$113 reais per share.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
On July 23, 2019, a material fact informed that the Board of Directors, of GPA based on the favorable recommendation of the Special Independent Committee and within range the price originally recommended by GPA's executive board, approved that its operational subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora to approve the launch of an all cash tender offer, in cash, to acquire up to all of the shares of Éxito, for the price of 18,000 Colombian pesos per share (equivalent to R$21.68 reais on the date of purchase).
Continuing the transaction, on September 12, 2019, the Board of Directors and the general shareholders' meeting of Éxito approved the sale of its indirect equity interest in GPA to Casino in the terms disclosed.
Since in this transaction the Company was exposed to Colombian pesos (“COP”) during the offering period, on July 24, 2019, the financial committee approved the realization of a cash flow hedge, via NDFs (Non Deliverable Forward), to mitigate this exposure (see note 19).
On November 27, 2019, the OPA was liquidated, and shareholders representing 96.57% of Éxito's capital accepted the takeover bid. This adhesion represented a disbursement by Sendas of 7.780 billion Colombian pesos (amount equivalent to R$9.5 billion (taking into account the exchange rate of December 31, 2019). On the same date, prior to the liquidation of the OPA, subsidiaries of Casino acquired all of the shares issued by GPA held directly and indirectly by Éxito for the price, net of debt, of US$1,161 million (equivalent to R$4.9 billion based on the exchange rate on the date of the transaction).
As a consequence of this change of control and based on the provisions of the corporate law of Colombia, the share capital of a single shareholder cannot exceed 95%. The Company has 18 months, counted from the public offering, to regularize its direct participation in Éxito. On February 10, 2021, the Company transferred 5% of its interest to GPA 2 Empreendimentos e Participações ("GPA 2") and now holds a direct interest of 91.57% of Éxito's share capital. The Company has a 100% interest in GPA 2.
Association context
Almacenes Éxito S.A. operates more than 650 stores in Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina, in addition to exploring shopping centers, having a significant investment in a loyalty and financial company, in addition to its own brands with successful participation.
The Company started to consolidate Éxito's results as of December 1, 2019, when it obtained control of the company, consolidations only one month of the income statement. Net sales were R$2,151 in this period and net income was R$71. If Éxito had been consolidated as of January 1, 2019, the effect in the income statement would have been R$18,388 on net sales and R$178 on net income from continuing operations.

15. | Property and equipment |
Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses, if any. This cost includes the cost of acquisition of equipment and financing costs for long-term construction projects, if the recognition criteria are met. When significant components of property and equipment are replaced, they are recognized as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation. Likewise, when a major replacement is performed, its cost is recognized at the carrying amount of the equipment as a replacement, if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of operations for the year as incurred.
Asset category | Useful life (in years) |
Buildings | Between 40 and 50 |
Leasehold improvements | Between 24 and 40 |
Machinery and equipment | Between 10 and 20 |
Facilities | 11 |
Furniture and fixtures | Between 9 and 12 |
Others | Between 3 and 5 |
Property and equipment items and eventual significant parts are written off when sold or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or sale. Any eventual gains or losses arising from the write off of the assets are included in the statement of operations for the year.
The residual value, the useful life of assets and the depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if applicable. The Company reviewed the useful lives of fixed assets for fiscal year 2020 and no significant changes were necessary.
Interest on loans directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset, which requires a substantial period of time to be finalized for the intended use or sale (qualifying asset), is capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets during its construction. From the date of entry into operation of the corresponding asset, capitalized costs are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.
15.1. | Impairment of non financial assets |
Impairment testing is designed so that the Company can present the net realizable value of an asset. This amount may be realized directly or indirectly, respectively, through the sale of the asset or the cash generated by the use of the asset in the Company and its subsidiaries activities.
The Company and its subsidiaries tests its tangible or intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever there is internal or external evidence that they may be impaired.
An asset’s recoverable amount is defined as the asset’s fair value or the value in use of its cash-generating unit (CGU), whichever is higher, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.
If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and an allowance is recorded to adjust its carrying amount to its recoverable amount, in assessing the recoverable amount, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the Company’s weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”), reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The useful life test for intangibles including goodwill is presented in note 16.

Recovery test of stores operating assets
The procedure for verifying non-realization consisted of grouping operational and intangible assets (Commercial rights) directly attributable to stores. The test steps were as follows:
• | Step 1: the book value of properties in rented stores was compared with a sales multiple (30% to 35%) representing transactions between retail companies. For stores with a multiple value below the book value, we move to a more detailed method, described in Step 2. |
• | Step 2: the Company considers the highest value among the discounted cash flows using the 4.6% perpetuity growth (4.8% in 2019) for periods exceeding five years and a discount rate of 7.9 % (8.4% in 2019) or appraisal reports prepared by independent specialists for own stores. |
The Company carried out a test to verify the operational assets of the stores that could not be recoverable and in the year ended December 31, 2020, based on the tests performed, it was necessary to record a loss in the amount of R$19 in the parent company and R$23 in the consolidated. See considerations regarding the effects of the pandemic in note 1.2.
Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss for the year in expense categories consistent with the function of the respective impaired asset. Previously recognized impairment losses are only reversed in case of change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount at its initial or most recent recognition, except for goodwill, which cannot be reversed in future periods.

16. | Intangible assets |
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost at initial recognition, less amortization and any impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized software development costs, are recognized as expenses when incurred.
Intangible assets consist mainly of software acquired from third parties, software developed for internal use, commercial rights (stores’ rights of use), customer lists, advantageous lease agreements, advantageous furniture supply agreements and brands.
Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized by the straight-line method. The amortization period and method are reviewed, at least, at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimate.
Software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their useful lives (5 a 10 years), accordingly to the amortization rate of 10.82% beginning amortization when they become operational.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever there are indications that their carrying amount may be impaired either individually or at the level of the cash-generating unit. The assessment is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life assumption remains valid. Otherwise, the useful life is changed prospectively from indefinite to definite.
When applicable, gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale of the asset and its carrying amount, any gain or loss being recognized in the statement of operations in the year when the asset is derecognized.

16.1 | Test for recovery of intangibles of indefinite useful life, including goodwill |
The impairment test of intangibles uses the same practices described in Note 15 Property, plant and equipment.
For impairment testing purposes, the goodwill acquired through business combinations and tradenames with indefinite useful lives was allocated to two cash generating units, which are also operational segments that disclose information. The segments are: retail and international retail referring Exito Group.
The recoverable amount of the segments was defined by means of the value in use based on cash projections arising from the financial budgets approved by senior management for the next three years. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 7.9% (8.4% in 2019), and cash flows that exceed the three-year period are extrapolated using a 4.6% growth rate (4.8% on December 31, 2019). As a result of this analysis, there was no need to record a provision for impairment of these assets. See considerations regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in note 1.2.
In relation to Grupo Éxito, the discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 6.5% (and cash flows that exceed the three-year period are extrapolated using a 3% growth rate. As a result of this analysis, there was no need to record a provision for impairment of intangibles with indefinite useful lives.
Sensitivity analysis
Based on the probable scenario, a sensitivity analysis was made for a 0.5% increase / decrease in the discount rate and growth rate. In any combination, the value of the segment's cash flow is higher than its book value. As a result of this analysis, there was no need to record a provision for impairment of these assets.

19.1. | Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Group |
(i) | Credit risk |
· | Cash and cash equivalents: in order to minimize credit risk, the Company adopts investment policies at financial institutions approved by the Company’s Financial Committee, also taking into consideration monetary limits and financial institution evaluations, which are regularly updated. |
· | Accounts receivable: credit risk related to accounts receivable is minimized by the fact that large portion of the sales are paid with credit cards, and the Company sells these receivables to banks and credit card companies, aiming to strengthen working capital. The sales of receivables result in derecognition of the accounts receivable due to the transfer of the credit risk, benefits and control of such assets. Additionally, mainly to the accounts receivable paid in installments, the Company monitor the risk through the credit concession to customers and by periodic analysis of the provision for losses. |
· | The Company also has counterparty risk related to the derivative instruments; such risk is mitigated by the Company’s carrying out transactions, according to policies approved by governance boards. |
· | There are no amounts receivable that are individually, higher than 5% of accounts receivable or sales, respectively. |
(ii) | Interest rate risk |
The Company and its subsidiaries raise loans and financing with major financial institutions for cash needs for investments. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries are, mainly, exposed to relevant interest rates fluctuation risk, especially in view of derivatives liabilities (foreign currency exposure hedge) and CDI indexed debt. The balance of cash and cash equivalents, indexed to CDI, partially offsets the interest rate risk.
(iii) | Foreign currency exchange rate risk |
The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase outstanding balances of foreign currency-denominated borrowings. The Company and its subsidiaries use derivatives, such as swaps, aiming to mitigate the exchange exposure risk, converting the cost of debt into domestic currency andinterest rates.
Éxito Group uses derivatives to hedge against foreign exchange variations on imports.
(iv) | Capital risk management |
The main objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure if the Company sustains its credit rating and a well-defined equity ratio, in order to support businesses and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments taking into account changes in the economic conditions.

(v) | Fair values of derivative financial instruments |
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.
Fair values are calculated by projecting the future cash flows of transactions, using the curves of CDI and discounting them to present value, using CDI market rates for swaps both disclosed by B3.
The market value of exchange coupon swaps versus CDI rate was obtained applying market exchange rates effective on the date of financial statements are prepared and rates are projected by the market calculated based on currency coupon curves.
In order to calculate the coupon of foreign currency indexed-positions, the straight-line convention - 360 consecutive days was adopted and to calculate the coupon of CDI indexed-positions, the exponential convention - 252 business days was adopted.

19.2. | Sensitivity 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, on the maturity dates of each transaction.
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, a deterioration of 25% and 50% was taken into account, respectively, on risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments.
For the probable scenario, weighted exchange rate was R$5.28 on the due date, and the weighted interest rate weighted was 2.85% 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.

19.3. | Fair 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 value hierarchy levels are defined below:
Level 1: Measurement of fair value at the balance sheet date based on quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for assets or liabilities that the entity may have access to at the measurement date.
Level 2: Measurement of fair value at the balance sheet date using other significant observable assumptions for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1.
Level 3: Measurement of fair value at the balance sheet date using unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The data for these models are obtained, whenever possible, from observable markets or from information, on comparable operations and transactions in the market. The judgments include the analyses of the data, such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about to these factors may affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.
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 of which is disclosed in the financial statements:

21. | Income tax and social contribution |
Current income tax and social contribution
Current income tax and social contribution assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to calculate taxes are those in force or substantially in force at the end of each balance sheet date.
Income taxes comprise Corporate Income Tax (“IRPJ”) and Social Contribution on Net Income (“CSLL”), calculated based on taxable income (adjusted income), at the applicable rates set forth in the legislation in force: 15% on taxable income plus an additional 10% on annual taxable income exceeding R$240,000 for IRPJ, and 9% for CSLL.
Deferred income tax and social contribution
Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which to deduct temporary differences and unused tax loss carryforwards, except where the deferred income tax and social contribution assets relating to the deductible temporary difference arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor tax income or losses.
With respect to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred income tax and social contribution assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax and social contribution to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow these assets to be recovered.
Deferred income tax and social contribution assets do not have a statutory term, but their use, as defined by law, is limited to 30% of the taxable profit for each year for Brazilian legal entities, and are related to their subsidiaries that have tax planning opportunities to use these balances.
Deferred income tax and social contribution assets measurement requires a significant judgment by Management, based on the attribution of profit and the level of future taxable profit, in accordance with the approved strategic plan by the Board of Directors.
Deferred taxes related to items directly recognized in equity are also recognized in equity and not in the statement of operations.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
Deferred income tax and social contribution assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal or contractual right to offset tax assets against income tax liabilities, and the deferred taxes refer to the same taxpayer entity and to the same tax authority.
In virtue of nature and complexity of the Group's businesses, the differences between the actual results and the assumptions adopted, or the future changes to these assumptions, may result in future adjustments to tax revenues and expenses already recorded. The Company and its subsidiaries set up provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for taxes due. The value of these provisions is based on several factors, such as the experience of previous inspections and the different interpretations of tax regulations by the taxpayer and the responsible tax authority. These differences in interpretation can refer to a wide variety of issues, depending on the conditions in force at the home of the respective entity.

22. | Provision for contingencies |
Provisions are recognized when the Company and its subsidiaries have a present obligation (legal or non-formalized) due to a past event, it is likely that an outflow of funds is required to settle the obligation, and it is possible to make a reliable estimate of the amount that obligation. The expense related to any provision is recorded in the income for the year, net of any reimbursement. In the case of success fees, the Company and its subsidiaries have a policy of provisioning at the time the fees are incurred, that is, when the cases are finally judged, the amounts involved for the cases still being disclosed in the explanatory notes not finalized.
The assessment of the likelihood of loss includes the assessment of the available evidence, the hierarchy of laws, the available jurisprudence, the most recent court decisions, their legal relevance, the history of occurrence and amounts involved and the assessment of external lawyers.
The provision for risks is estimated by the Company’s management, supported by its legal counsel. The provision was recognized in an amount considered sufficient to cover probable losses.

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:

ICMS |
The Federal Supreme Court ("STF") on October 16, 2014 decided that ICMS taxpayers that trade products included in the “basked of food staples” have no right to fully utilize the ICMS credits. The Company, with the assistance of its legal counsel, decided to record a provision for this matter amounting to R$27 as of December 31, 2020 (R$50 as of December 31, 2019) since this claim was considered a “probable” loss. The amounts accrued represent Management’s best estimate of the probable cash disbursement to settle this claim. On May 9, 2019, the STF upheld the previous understanding and did not comply with the request for modulation of the effects of the decision. However, such a decision did not have a major impact on the Company's financial information, since the amount was already provisioned in its entirety.
Additionally, there are cases assessed by São Paulo State tax authorities related to the refund of ICMS over tax substitution without proper compliance with accessory tax obligations introduced by CAT Administrative Rule 17. Considering recent court decisions the Company accrued R$292 (R$268 in December 2019) representing the estimatio of probable loss evaluated by management based on documentation evidence aspect of the claims.

22.6. | Possible contingent liabilities |
The Company has other litigations which have been analyzed by the legal counsel and considered as possible loss and, therefore, have not been accrued.

22.9. | Deduction of ICMS from the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS |
Since the adoption of the non-cumulative regime to calculate PIS and COFINS, the Group has challenged the right to deduct ICMS taxes from the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS. On March 15, 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that ICMS should be excluded from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS, in line with the thesis claimed by the Company.
Since the decision of the Supreme Court on March 15, 2017, the proceedings have been brought forward by our legal advisors without any change in management's judgment, but without the final decision on the appeal filed by the prosecution. The Company and its advisors estimate that the decision on this appeal will not limit the right of the lawsuit filed by the Company, however, the elements of the lawsuit are still pending decision and do not allow the recognition of assets related to the credits to be raised since filing of the lawsuit in 2003. The subsidiaries that had the final and unappealable process recorded in 2019 the amount of R$382, of which R$198 in the financial result.
On October 29, 2020, the Company obtained a favorable decision in its individual lawsuit, resulting in the registration of tax credit in the amount of R$1,609 (of which R$613 in the financial result), net of provisions for installments that, eventually, considered not achievable. The Company made the calculations based on the understanding of its legal advisors. The offsetting of this tax credit is subject to certain administrative proceedings with the Brazilian Tax Authorities, and the Company estimates it will be realized in 5 (five) years.

Likewise, Via Varejo obtained a favorable decision in May 2020, which includes the amount for which GPA is entitled to be reimbursed, pursuant to the association agreement signed between GPA and the Klein family in the transaction that gave rise to Via Varejo. The periods that GPA is entitled to reimbursement refer to the subsidiary Globex (which was incorporated in the formation of Via Varejo) for the years 2003 to 2010. CBD has already recognized in 2020, based on the documentation analyzed and validated until the moment, R$231 of a credit with Via Varejo. The related gain is recognized in the net result of discontinued operations. In addition, the Company estimates that it is entitled to an outstanding amount of R$277, which is subject to certain adjustments and confirmation by Via Varejo.
22.10. | Arbitration Península |
On September 12, 2017, the Company received a notice from the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce regarding a request for arbitration (“Proceeding”) filed by Banco Ourinvest S.A., a financial institution, in its capacity as fund manager and acting in the exclusively interest of the quotaholders of Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário Península ("Península" and the “Procedimento”).
The Proceeding aims to discuss the calculation of the rental fees and other operational matters related to the stores owned by Peninsula, which are under several lease agreements and contracts entered into between the Company and Peninsula during 2005 (the "Agreements"). The Agreements assure to CBD the rent of the stores for a period of twenty (20) years, which may be extended for an additional 20-year term, at CBD’s discretion, and rules the calculation of the rental fees.
The Proceeding refers to certain terms and conditions of the Agreements and does not affect the continuity of the leasing of the stores, which are contractually assured. The amounts on which the Company is exposed can not be determined with reasonable certainty based on the current stage of the arbitral process. Management assessed the arbitration as possible loss, based on the opinion provided by the external legal counsel.
23. | Leases |
23.1. | Lease obligations |
When entering into a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The contract is, or contains, a lease if it transfers the right to control the use of the identified asset for a specified period in exchange for consideration.
The Company leases equipment and commercial spaces, including stores and distribution centers, under cancellable and non-cancellable lease agreements. The terms of the contracts vary substantially between 5 and 25 years.
The Company and its subsidiaries as lessees
The Company evaluates its lease agreements in order to identify lease terms for a right to use, using the exemptions provided for contracts with a term of less than twelve months and an individual asset value below US$5,000 (five thousand dollars).
The contracts are then recorded, when the lease begins, as a Lease Liability against the Right of Use (notes 15 and 16), both at the present value of the minimum lease payments, using the interest rate implicit in the contract, if this can be used, or an incremental interest rate considering loans obtained by the Company.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
The lease term used in the measurement corresponds to the term that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend the lease or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease.
Subsequently, payments made are segregated between financial charges and reduction of the lease liability, in order to obtain a constant interest rate on the liability balance. Financial charges are recognized as financial expenses for the period.
Lease use assets are amortized over the lease term. Capitalizations for improvements, improvements and renovations carried out in stores are amortized over their estimated useful life or the expected term of use of the asset, limited if there is evidence that the lease will not be extended.
Variable rents are recognized as expenses in the years in which they are incurred.
The Company and its subsidiaries as lessors
Leases where the Company does not substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. The initial direct costs of negotiating operating leases are added to the book value of the leased asset and recognized over the term of the contract, on the same basis as rental income.
Variable rents are recognized as income in the years in which they are earned.
Leasing contracts totaled R$8,374 as of December 31, 2020 (R$8,667 as of December 31, 2019), according to the following table:

c. | Stock options |
It recognizes the expenses associated to the Company’s executives’ share-based payments in accordance with CPC 10 (R1)/ (IFRS 2) – Share-based payment.
The Company's employees and administrators (including its subsidiaries) may receive payment based on shares, when employees provide services in exchange for equity instruments (“transactions settled with shares”).
The Company measures the transaction costs of employees eligible for share based compensation, based on the fair value of equity instruments on the grant date. Estimating the fair value of share-based payment transactions requires a definition of the most appropriate valuation model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires a definition of the most appropriate information for the valuation model, including the stock option life expectancy, volatility and dividend return, as well as the preparation of corresponding assumptions.
The cost of operations settled with shares is recognized as an expense for the year, together with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity, during the year in which the performance and / or service provision conditions are met. Accumulated expenses recognized in relation to equity instruments on each base date, up to the acquisition date, reflect the extent to which the acquisition period has expired and the best estimate of the Company and its subsidiaries of the number of equity instruments that will be acquired.
The expense or reversal of expenses for each year represents the movement in accumulated expenses recognized at the beginning and end of the year. Expenses related to services that have not completed their acquisition period are not recognized, except in the case of operations settled with shares in which the acquisition depends on a market condition or non-acquisition of rights, which are treated as acquired, regardless of whether the market condition or non-acquisition of rights is satisfied or not, provided that all other performance and / or service provision conditions are met.
When an equity instrument is modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense that would have been incurred if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized in the event of a change that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction or that otherwise benefits the employee, as measured on the date of the change.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2020 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated) |
In the event of cancellation of an equity instrument, it is treated as if it were fully acquired on the date of cancellation, and any expenses not yet recognized, referring to the premium, are recognized immediately in the income for the year. This includes any premium whose conditions of non-acquisition under the control of the Company or the employee are not met. However, if the canceled plan is replaced by a new plan and substitute grants are generated, on the date it is granted, the canceled grant and the new plan will be treated as if they were a modification of the original grant, as described in the previous paragraph. All cancellations for transactions settled with shares are treated in the same way.
The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as an additional dilution of shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
The following describes the Former Stock Option Plan on December 31, 2020.
Compensation Plan
The Compensation Plan is managed by the Board of Directors, assigning to the Human Resources and the Compensation Committee the responsibility to grant the options and the advisory in managing the Compensation Plan (the "Committee").
Committee members will meet for the option grant Compensation Plan series and whenever necessary, decide on questions arising on the Compensation Plan. Each series of the granting of stock options will receive the letter "B" followed by a number. In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, was in force options granted B5 and B6 Series of the Compensation Plan.
The options granted to a participant will not be exercisable for a period of 36 (thirty six) months from the date of grant ("Grace Period"), except with formal authorization by the Company, and may only be exercised in the period beginning on the first day of the 37 (thirty-seventh) month from the date of grant, and ends on the last day of the 42 (forty-second) month from the date of grant ("Exercise Period").

Consolidated information of share-based payment plans – GPA
According to the terms of the series plans, each option offers its beneficiary the right to buy a share of the Company. In both plans, the grace period is 36 months, always measured from the date on which the Board of Directors approved the issue of the respective series of options. The stock options may be exercised by their beneficiaries within 6 months after the end of the grace period of the respective grant date. The condition for the options to be exercisable (vested) is for the beneficiary to remain as an employee of the Company. The plans differ exclusively in the exercise price of the options and in the existence or not of a restriction period for the sale of the shares acquired in the exercise of the option.
According to the plans, the options granted in each of the series may represent maximum 0.7% of the total shares issued by the Company.
At December 31, 2020 there were 239 thousands treasury preferred shares which may be used as guarantee for the options granted in the plan. The preferred share price at B3 was R$75.05 per share.
The table below shows the maximum percentage of dilution to which current shareholders eventually being subject to in the event that all options granted are exercised until 2020:
12.31.2020 | 12.31.2019 | |
Number of shares | 268,352 | 267,997 |
Balance of effective stock options granted | 1,468 | 2,153 |
Maximum percentage of dilution | 0,55% | 0,80% |
The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date, by using the options pricing model “Black&Scholes” taking into account the following assumptions for the series B5 and C5: (a) expectation of dividends of 0.41%, (b) expectation of volatility nearly 36.52% and (c) the weighted average interest rate without risk of 9.29%.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated at the grant date using the option pricing model Black & Scholes, taking into account the following assumptions for the B6 and C6 series: (a) dividend expectation of 0.67%, (b) volatility expectation of nearly 32.74% and (c) the weighted average interest rate of 7.32%.
The expectation of remaining average life of the series outstanding at December 31, 2020 is 0.88 year (1.50 year at December 31, 2019). The weighted average fair value of options granted at December 31, 2020 was R$58.78 (R$56.41 at December 31, 2019).

30. | Earnings per share |
Basic earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted average number of outstanding shares of each category during the year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:
· | Numerator: profit for the year adjusted by dilutive effects from stock options granted by subsidiaries. |
· | Denominator: the number of shares of each category adjusted to include potential shares corresponding to dilutive instruments (stock options), less the number of shares that could be bought back at market, if applicable. |
Equity instruments that will or may be settled with the Company and its subsidiaries’ shares are only included in the calculation when its settlement has a dilutive impact on earnings per share.
As mentioned in note 1.2, the migration process to “Novo Mercado” was concluded and, therefore, the Company started to present earnings per share considering a single class of shares from 2019.
The table below presents the determination of net income available to holders of common shares and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share in each reporting exercise:

31. | Segment information |
Management considers the following segments:
· | Food retail – includes the banners “Pão de Açúcar”, “Extra Hiper”, “Extra Supermercado” / “Mercado Extra”, “Minimercado Extra”, “Minuto Pão de Açúcar”, “Comprebem”, “Posto Extra, “Drogaria Extra” and “GPA Malls & Properties”. |
· | Éxito Group - includes the company Éxito (Colômbia) and its subsidiaries Libertad (Argentina) and Disco (Uruguay). Éxito also operates the brands Surtimax, Super Inter, and Carulla, consequence of the acquisition of Éxito in November 2019 (note 13). |
The electronics and electronic commerce segments were sold and are presented as Discontinued Operations on December 31, 2019. The wholesale self-service segment, Assai, was spun off to the Company's shareholders and is presented as a discontinued operation on December 31, 2020 and 2019. The other businesses are composed of the results of James, Cheftime, Stix and Cnova N.V. Both segments are maintained in this note for purposes of reconciliation with the consolidated financial statements.
The eliminations of the result and balance sheet are presented within the segment itself.
Expenses related to the acquisition of Éxito and the tax on profits earned abroad paid in Brazil are considered in the Éxito Group.
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 16 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 December 31, 2020 is included in the table below:
