SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cencosud S.A. (BCS: CENCOSUD; NYSE: CNCO), a leading multi-format Latin American retailer with presence in five countries, announced today its consolidated financial results for the second quarter of 2014. All figures are in Chilean pesos (CLP), except where indicated otherwise, and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Variations refer to the comparison between 2Q13 and 2Q14.
-Revenues rose 5.4% to CLP 2.64 trillion, driven by higher sales in Chile, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru, partially offset by lower revenues from Argentina as a result of the devaluation of the local currency.
-Gross profit rose 2.2% to CLP 732 billion, with higher gross profit in Home Improvement, Financial Services, Supermarket, and Shopping Centers being partially offset by lower gross profit from Department Stores. Gross margin decreased 86 basis points to 27.7%.
-Operating income decreased 5.6% to CLP 106 billion, as a result of lower operating income from Department Stores, Supermarkets, Shopping Centers, and Financial Services, partially offset by higher operating income from Home Improvement. Operating margin fell from 4.5% in 2Q13 to 4% in 2Q14.
-Adjusted EBITDA[1] grew 1.7% to CLP 162 billion. Excluding a one-off charge related to labor expenses in Brazil, Adjusted EBITDA rose 6.3% with stable Adjusted EBITDA margin.
-Net profit increased 196.2% to CLP 25 billion, reflecting lower non-operating losses and lower tax expenses.

Note on discontinued operations
In June 2014, Cencosud signed definitive contracts with Scotiabank to jointly develop the financial retail business in Chile. In relation to this transaction and to comply with IFRS rules, from June 2014 Cencosud is reporting its results from discontinued operations from the Chilean financial retail business accounted in a single line in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The results from those operations are in one line called "Profit (loss) from discontinued operations" (abbreviated as D.O. in this report) which consolidates the result from the financial service operations from Chile. The Company includes for comparison purposes each line of discontinued operations in the financial retail business segment. These lines are subtracted in the "Others" segment. Therefore results from discontinued operations are shown in one line called "Profit (loss) from discontinued operations"
