Grupo Pão de Açúcar operates 539 stores in 14 states and the Federal District, recording gross sales of R$ 16.5 billion in 2006. Its multiformat structure - supermarkets ( Pão de Açúcar, Extra Perto, CompreBem and Sendas ), hypermarkets (Extra), consumer electronics/household appliance stores (Extra-Eletro) and convenience stores (Extra Fácil) and its broad distribution network allow for a differentiated response to consumer needs and strong positioning in the countrys main markets.

Net Sales | 3,547 | 3,333 | 6.4% | 7,078 | 6,638 | 6.6% |
The Company recorded gross sales of R$ 4,205.5 million in the quarter, an increase of 5.7% compared to the same prior-year period, while Net sales rose to R$ 3,547.2 million, an increase of 6.4% .
On a same-store sales basis, gross sales rose 3.86%, while net sales grew 4.6% . Sales of food products increased by 3.9% in the quarter, led by perishable products, which increased by 6.5% . Also on a same-store basis, sales of non-food products grew by 3.7% in the period, despite the strong comparison base (i.e., the growth of 18.6% in the same period of 2006 fueled by the World Cup) and the price deflation in the period.
Customer traffic grew by 1.7% in the quarter, while the average ticket rose 3.9% . These indicators show that the Company is attracting a higher number of customers to its stores, and that the ticket of these consumers has a higher number of items, as a result of the more competitive pricing.
The growth in both same-store sales and customer traffic for the sixth consecutive month not only reflects a more favorable consumption scenario, but is also due to the price repositioning adopted by the Group and the sales incentive campaign, which has been an important motivational tool for stores staff. Moreover, the sales performance also points to higher market share for the Company, with gains against the large competitors.
Among the Groups formats, supermarkets presented the best sales performance. Despite their growth, hypermarkets have been negatively impacted by the performance of non-food products, mainly electronics and appliances, sales of which were affected by factors such as price deflation, foreign exchange effect and lower sales volumes compared to the World Cup period in 2006.
Operating Performance |
Sales Consolidation, Competitiveness & Expenses Projects will be essential for |
achieving higher efficiency levels |
In 2007, Grupo Pão de Açúcar is focusing on achieving higher levels of sales through more competitive prices and consequently the continuous fine tuning of pricing. This strategy has resulted in higher customer traffic at the Groups stores and higher average ticket.
Some of the main initiatives adopted in the quarter that will contribute to the strategy of competitiveness, lower expenses, and higher profitability include:
- Shrinkage Reduction Campaign: After a meticulous analysis that involved the purchase, supply, transport and sales processes, the Company implemented the Shrinkage Reduction Campaign (Campanha de Redução de Quebras). This initiative aims at reducing losses at the stores through training and improvement in processes. The Company will reward stores that achieve the sharpest reductions in shrinkage levels, which may be accumulated together with the rewards under the Retail in the Soul Campaign (Campanha Varejo na Alma). In May and June, the
2
Company achieved a reduction of 27% in the average shrinkage index compared to the average of the first four months of 2007. The Company expects shrinkage reduction to provide it with slight margin recovery by yearend;
- Assortment Review: The grocery assortment review was concluded, which resulted in a decline in the number of suppliers, from 3,500 to 1,500. The review of the non-food product category will be concluded by the end of August, allowing the Company to improve negotiations with suppliers, and also achieve gains in working capital (lower inventories), shrinkage reduction and better stock out (shortage of products on store shelves) management ;
- Pricing: The Company made progress in the implementation of the DemandTec system, which will allow better price elasticity analysis, facilitating price management and strengthening the Groups competitiveness;
- Extra Perto Supermarket and Extra Fácil Convenience Store: The convenience stores launched in December 2006 are now called Extra Fácil. Ten new Extra Fácil stores will be opened by yearend. In addition, a new supermarket model will be launched under the Extra banner, called Extra Perto, combining in a single neighboring store a complete food mix and compact assortment of non-food products in a pleasant environment, providing customers with a fast, practical and complete shopping experience;
- Expense reduction: The highlights in the period were the productivity programs at the stores. These programs allowed the Group to achieve important headcount reductions, mainly in the Sendas banner, which will represent significant savings in upcoming quarters. In addition, the Shared Services Center has been responsible for automation of store processes, which should also result in considerable savings. At the corporation level, the review of the structure through improvements in processes and systems will also continue;
- Hiring of Galeazzi & Associados: In late July, the Company hired Galeazzi & Associados for the project to restructure the operations of Sendas Distribuidora in Rio de Janeiro state. The goal is to implement a performance improvement plan at Sendas Distribuidora stores, which currently account for approximately 19% of the Groups sales.
The comments on operating performance that follow refer to the consolidated figures of the Group in the quarter, which include all operating results from Sendas Distribuidora (a joint venture of GPA with the Sendas chain in Rio de Janeiro state).
Gross Margin of 28.1% in the quarter |

(3) basis points |
Gross margin was 28.1% in the 2Q07, a 30 basis points recovery relative to the previous quarter, and down 100 basis points from the same prior-year period. This lower margin reflects the price competitiveness adjustments implemented over the last quarters.
3
Gross income totaled R$ 996.4 million, up by 2.6% when compared to the R$ 971.1 million in 2Q06. The growth in sales volume more than offset the margin reduction, even considering the store openings and closures in the period, resulting in an increase of R$ 25.3 million in gross income.
The Company carried out better price alignment and adjustment in certain micro-markets. This adjustment occurred in micro-markets in which opportunities were identified as a result of changes in competitors prices, enabling margin recovery compared to 1Q07.
The Company will continuously seek improving negotiations with suppliers, lower shrinkage levels and more efficient pricing, which will allow for a recovery in gross margin through yearend.

(3) basis points |
Operating expenses before taxes and charges totaled R$ 1,468.0 million in the 1H07, an increase of 3.8% from the R$ 1,414.6 million registered in the 1H06. Excluding the expenses with the restructuring, operating expenses before taxes and charges accounted for 20.6% of net sales in the period, down from the 21.1% reported in the 1H06. Also as a percentage of net sales, administrative expenses declined from 3.5% in the 1H06 to 3.2% in the 1H07, while selling expenses declined from 17.6% to 17.4% .
Operating expenses before taxes and charges in the quarter totaled R$ 743.5 million, or 21.0% of net revenue, versus R$ 709,6 million, or 21.3%, in the same period in 2006. This 30 basis points reduction in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was achieved despite the expenses with the restructuring incurred by the Group in the period. These expenses impacted selling and administrative expenses by R$ 3.7 million and R$ 3.6 million, respectively. Excluding the restructuring expenses, operating expenses before taxes and charges totaled R$ 736.2 million (20.8% of net sales) in the quarter, compared to R$ 704.6 million in the 2Q06 (21.1% of net sales).
Administrative expenses fell by 1.5% to R$ 116.2 million, from R$ 117.9 million in the 2Q06. This reduction was achieved despite the 4% wage increase under the collective agreement in September 2006. Administrative expenses excluding the restructuring expenses were R$ 112.6 million in the quarter, versus R$ 116.9 million in the 2Q06, a decline of 3.7% . This significant reduction reflects the changes being implemented in the Groups administrative structure.

Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales declined by 10 basis points, from 17.8% in the 2Q06 to 17.7% in the 2Q07. In absolute values selling expenses stood at R$ 627.3 million in the 2Q07, up 6.0% from the R$ 591.6 million registered in the same quarter of 2006.

EBITDA was R$ 228.4 million in the quarter, 5.5% lower than the R$ 241.7 million reported in the 2Q06. EBITDA as a percentage of net sales stood at 6.4% in the 2Q07, versus 7.3% in the 2Q06. This drop in EBITDA margin was mainly due to the drop of 100 basis points in gross margin.
EBITDA margin excluding the restructuring expenses stood at 6.6% in the quarter, versus 7.4% in the 2Q06. In absolute terms, EBITDA excluding the restructuring expenses impacts fell by 4.5%, from R$ 246.7 million in the 2Q06 to R$ 235.6 million in the 2Q07.

(1) Totals may not tally as the figures are rounded off |
Financial income in the quarter was R$ 61.7 million, compared to R$ 94.5 million in the 2Q06, a 34.7% reduction, chiefly explained by lower average cash balance and lower interest rates in the period relative to the 2Q06.
Financial expenses fell 24.8% in the 2Q07 to R$ 114.3 million, declining from R$ 152.1 million in the 2Q06, mainly due to the lower interest rates in the 2Q07 relative to the previous year.
Net financial income in the 2Q07 was an expense of R$ 52.7 million (R$ 57.7 million in the 2Q06), an improvement of 8.7% compared to the 2Q06.
The Companys gross debt increased by R$ 517.8 million over the 1Q07, and by R$ 437.3 million relative to the same period of 2006, to total R$ 2.4 billion, chiefly due to the sixth issue of debentures carried out in April 2007.
For the same reason, cash and financial investments increased by R$ 399.1 million compared to the 1Q07. Compared to the 2Q06, cash and financial investments fell by R$ 124.6 million due to the investments, payment of dividends and retired debt.
5
Accordingly, net debt at the end of the quarter rose by R$ 118.7 million relative to the 1Q07 and by R$ 561.9 million relative to the previous year.
Equity Income |
Impacted by the acquisition of the Credicard co-branded card portfolio |
Accounting for 12.5% of the Group's sales, the consumer-finance operation FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD) recorded negative equity income of R$ 10.9 million in the 2Q07 (versus negative R$ 12.2 million in 2Q06), in line with the budget.
This result was impacted by the incorporation in the quarter of the co-branded card portfolio formerly owned by Credicard (Itaucard cards co-branded with the Pão de Açúcar and Extra banner), with R$ 417 million in receivables, corresponding to the outstanding balance of 437,000 customers. In 2Q07, the company computed all the required provisions related to the portfolio and taxes related to the incorporation. The results from additional revenues and the effects from this incorporation keep the Company on the expected track towards breakeven by yearend.
With the continued growth in the private-label and personal-loan operations and the incorporation of the co-branded cards, the total portfolio reached R$ 1.3 billion in the end of the quarter, representing growth of 70% compared to the same period a year ago. As a result of this incorporation, net income increased by 124% over 2Q06. By end June, FIC reached 5.7 million customers, of which 3.8 million were private-label cardholders.
The expansion in the private-label interest-bearing installment-payment portfolio, the resumption in the sale of co-branded cards at the stores, the increase in sales of products with extended guarantees (Garantia Estendida), and the continued growth in personal loans, combined with the improvement in credit and the decline in loss levels, provide a solid base for the future profitability of the FIC portfolio.
Minority Interest: Sendas Distribuidora |
Higher financial expenses affect results in the quarter |
In the 2Q07, the gross sales of Sendas Distribuidora were R$ 783.1 million, accounting for 18.6% of the Groups sales. Net sales amounted to R$ 679.8 million in the period. The sales performance corresponded to a 0.8% increase in gross sales and 0.5% increase in net sales, however, it does not yet reflect the price repositioning implemented under the competitiveness strategy.
Gross income amounted to R$ 177.6 million, with gross margin of 26.1%, a 60 basis points recovery over the same period a year ago. Although there was some recovery, this level of gross margin is still significantly lower than that of the Group excluding Sendas, reflecting the high level of competition in the Rio de Janeiro market.
Operating expenses before taxes and charges amounted to R$ 161.9 million, or 23.8% of net sales (22.9% in the 2Q06), an increase of 4.3% versus the previous year, due to the increase in public utilities and payroll adjustments, which outpaced inflation in the past 12 months.
Accordingly, EBITDA margin stood at 1.4% in the quarter against 1.6% in the 2Q06.
6
Financial result, affected by high indebtedness of Sendas Distribuidora, was an expense of R$ 30.5 million in the period, significantly influencing the overall result of this company. The net loss in the quarter was R$ 42.8 million, generating a minority interest result of R$ 24.6 million for the group.
Net Income |
Sharply impacted by the lower gross margin |

Net Margin - % | 0.8% | 1.2% | -40 bps(3) | 0.9% | 1.5% | -60 bps(3) |
Given the factors mentioned above, the Group reported net income of R$ 27.6 million in the 2Q07, compared to R$ 41.0 million in the 2Q06.
Note that the Companys net income is strongly affected by amortization of goodwill, which is a non-cash expense. This amortization totaled R$ 29.2 million in the quarter (versus R$ 28.4 million in the 2Q06).
Income tax in the quarter totaled R$ 24.8 million (versus R$ 4.8 million in the 2Q06), reflecting the non-constitution of the deferred income tax credit at Sendas Distribuidora, and explaining most of the difference in net income in the quarter versus the same period of the previous year.
CAPEX |
R$ 216.7 million invested in the quarter |
Capital expenditure totaled R$ 216.7 million in the quarter, compared to R$ 149.7 million in the 2Q06. Investments in the period were mainly concentrated in the construction of new stores to be inaugurated in the second half of 2007, when most openings scheduled for 2007 are concentrated.
Grupo Pão de Açúcar opened three new stores in the quarter, of which one was an Extra hypermarket, one an Extra Fácil convenience store and one a CompreBem store. Two Extra stores, three CompreBem stores and one Extra Perto store were in the final phase of construction in the period, and will be inaugurated in the third quarter. In addition, other construction works are in progress to fulfill the Expansion Plan for 2007. Investments in the quarter were divided as follows:
R$ 117.0 million in the opening and construction of new stores;
R$ 34.7 million in the acquisition of strategic land;
R$ 36.7 million in store remodeling;
R$ 28.3 million in infrastructure (technology, logistics and other).
Investment Plan for this year comprises the opening of 9 hypermarkets (Extra), 15 convenience stores (Extra Fácil), 6 Extra Perto stores and 5 supermarkets (4 CompreBem + 1 Pão de Açucar). In addition, the Group leased 5 stores that were operated by the Rossi Monza chain that will be converted into 1 CompreBem and 4 Extra Perto stores. These stores have 15,500 m2, four of these stores are located in the eastern region of São Paulo and one in Guarulhos city.
