I am pleased with the LFL sales performance of our brands in general and Ara in particular.
For the remainder of 2019 our goal is to continue to outperform the markets where we operate. To guarantee this outperformance, we will continue reinforcing our operations and working to have the best commercial proposals in order to earn, more and more, the consumer's recognition and preference.'

Note: When applying, from the 1st of January 2019, the new accounting standard on leases - IFRS16 – the Group decided to adopt the modified retrospective method, according to which there is no restatement of historical data. As the adoption of the new standard also does not change the way Jerónimo Martins manages and measures the operating performance of its businesses, the below analysis does not consider the application of IFRS16. The impact of this standard on the Group financial statements is

SALES PERFORMANCE
In the first six months of the year, Group net sales increased 5.7% to €8.9 bn. At constant exchange rates, sales grew 7.1%, with LFL at 3.9%. Benefiting from the calendar shift in the Easter season from Q1 in 2018 to Q2 in 2019, sales in Q2 increased 10.3% (+11.1% at constant exchange rates) and LFL growth was 7.8%.

In Poland, consumer demand remained positive, benefiting from a strong labour market and the approval of new social transfers.
Food inflation in the country increased strongly in Q2 (+4.7%) reaching 3.3% in H1.
Biedronka remained focused on meeting consumer needs and aspirations, while continuing to work to preserve the efficiency of its business model in a context of cost pressures.
Sales reached €6.1 bn, representing growth of 7.0% in local currency (+5.2% in euro terms) and market share increased. Despite the impact of 8 additional days of Sunday ban relative to H1 18, LFL was 3.7%.
In Q2, sales grew 12.1% (+11.5% in euros). LFL performance was 8.6%, including the positive calendar impact of Easter. During this season, Biedronka implemented strong commercial campaigns which, together with a favourable sales mix in June, due to hot weather, boosted LFL in the quarter. In this period, higher food inflation, partially driven by seasonal effects, also contributed to LFL performance.
Biedronka opened 27 new locations and closed 11 (16 net additions over the six months period).
Hebe's sales reached €117 mn, growing 26.4% in local currency (+24.3% in euros). Despite 8 fewer trading days due to the Sunday ban, LFL stood at 8.0% in H1 19.
In Q2, sales were €61 mn, a 29.4% increase (+28.7% in euros), with a LFL performance at 10.3%.
In Portugal, consumer demand remained favourable during the six-month period and intense promotional campaigns by most players continued to dominate the food retail sector.
Food inflation in the country was low at 0.5% (+0.1% in Q2).
Pingo Doce kept leveraging its competitive strengths with reinforced commercial dynamics, delivering a strong performance. Sales grew 4.1% to €1.9 bn. LFL performance (excluding fuel) was 3.4%.
In Q2 sales grew 5.6% to €1 bn, with LFL (excluding fuel) at 5.1%, incorporating a positive calendar shift related to Easter.
The banner opened 4 stores in the first six months of the year.

Recheio increased its sales by 2.0% to €467 mn. On a LFL basis, sales grew 3.4%. In Q2 sales reached €253 mn, 2.1% ahead of Q2 18 with a LFL growth of 3.2%.



In Colombia, the economy reveals signs of improvement and the retail sector remained quite dynamic.
Ara's sales increased 31.6% at constant exchange rates (+25.9% in euros) reaching €356 mn. LFL sales growth, which is critical to reach profitability, significantly increased in recent months and the banner ended the first half with double digit LFL.
In Q2 sales were at €187 mn, having increased 34.9% (+25.3% in euros).
Ara gave priority to sharply improving sales growth on our current network, opening 25 new locations in the first six months, and ending the period with 557 stores.
RESULTS PERFORMANCE
Group EBITDA at €471mn, increased 5.6% compared to H1 18. At constant exchange rates EBITDA grew 6.8%, driven by our sales-focused strategy.
[figures excluding IFRS16, unless otherwise stated]

In Poland, Biedronka delivered EBITDA of €428 mn, growing 7.0% in zloty (+5.2% in euros). EBITDA margin was 7.1%, in-line with that of the same period last year.
An effective management of the sales mix allowed for intense commercial activity during the Easter season and for a flat EBITDA margin.
Pingo Doce delivered EBITDA of €86 mn, with the respective margin reaching 4.5%, ahead of the 4.2% registered in H1 18.
This performance reflects the good LFL momentum and a positive margin mix effect in this year's Easter period which boosted EBITDA margin in Q2.
Ara and Hebe posted EBITDA losses of €41 mn, of which 89% are attributable to Ara. The comparable combined losses in H1 18 were €45 mn. This evolution resulted from both the reduction of Hebe's losses and the depreciation of local currencies. In Q2, at constant exchange rates, Ara posted losses in-line with the same period last year.
Net financial costs were €-16 mn, slightly higher than the €-13 mn registered in H1 18, reflecting the increase in interest-bearing debt denominated in Colombian pesos versus a year ago.
Group net profit was €181 mn, 0.7% ahead of H1 18, despite the impact of 8 fewer days of trading in Poland.
In H1 19, Group capex (excluding rights of use acquired in accordance with IFRS16) amounted to €238 mn, with 48% allocated to Biedronka.
Free cash flow generated in the period was €152 mn, reflecting a good operational performance and working capital evolution.
Net debt, excluding capitalised operating leases, was €158 mn and gearing stood at 7.9%, including the €204 mn May dividend payment.
