PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW & KEY DRIVERS

The Group had a strong start to the year, building on continued solid sales growth despite the pressure of high inflation on consumer demand in the first three months of the year.

We note comparables will be more demanding from Q2 23 onwards as 2022 incorporated progressively higher food inflation.

Our strategy remains unchanged: price competitiveness is more critical than ever to ensure consumer preference, protect volumes, and mitigate trading-down effects. This strategy delivered strong results in all countries where we operate.

In Poland, Biedronka increased volumes, mitigating the impacts of trading-down in its LFL. In Portugal and Colombia, Pingo Doce and Ara grew same-store sales despite accelerated trading-down in the quarter impacting growth rates.

As anticipated, the Group EBITDA margin fell 18b.p. versus Q1 22, reaching 6.6%, reflecting pressure on gross margins from the price investments made by all our food retail banners. The strong sales delivery, underpinned by our commercial dynamic and reinforced price competitiveness, drove a solid increase in EBITDA.

The balance sheet remains robust with the contribution of the Group's strong operating performance and despite the working capital outflow common in Q1 after a successful Christmas season. At the end of March, the Group's net cash position (excluding liabilities from capitalized operating leases) was c.1.0 billion euros.

The AGM held on 20 April approved the distribution of 345.6 million euros as dividends, corresponding to 0.55 euros per share (gross amount), to be paid by 17 May.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO PEDRO SOARES DOS SANTOS

Food inflation remains high in our three geographies and keeps pressuring consumer confidence and household purchasing power. Our determination to invest in price is therefore crucial to strengthen our market positions.

The first quarter results confirm the operational and competitive strengths of our banners and their ability to read the context and to rapidly adjust their value propositions to consumers' needs.

Despite weaker consumer demand, particularly in Colombia, its evolution for the rest of 2023 will reflect the prices of food, energy, and fuel and the evolution of interest rates. We remain committed to being an anti-inflationary force by absorbing part of the pressure of rising prices on consumers. At the same time, we will work to deliver on our long-term vision by implementing our investment programme.

We remain focused on a disciplined execution of our strategy. By reinforcing our presence in our geographies, continuously improving value propositions, and creating the conditions for growth in sales volumes we best protect our businesses' profitability and sustainability.

OUTLOOK 2023

The outlook provided in our 22 March 2023 release remains essentially unchanged.

Food inflation continued to be high at the beginning of the year, with only early signs of abating. Disinflation is expected for this year, but it is still difficult to anticipate the level of reduction in inflation for the second half of the year relative to the high prices recorded in 2022.

Electricity, gas, and fuel prices remain volatile. Interest rates increased rapidly in 2022 and remain high.

In the context of fragile consumer confidence, the rise in minimum wages and continuing low unemployment rates can, in part, compensate for the persistence of inflation and the high levels of interest rates. Consumer resilience depends on the balance between all these variables and differs in the three countries where we operate.

In Poland, the consumer has become even more cautious since the last quarter of 2022, making prices more important in buying decisions. Biedronka will live up to its brand promise by keeping low prices as a priority, ensuring consumer preference, protecting sales growth, and limiting potential trading-down effects.

To get closer to its customers and improve the shopping experience, Biedronka plans to add 130-150 net locations to its store network and remodel c.350 stores, seizing the opportunities in the market.

In 2023, Hebe will focus its growth effort on the e-commerce channel, also the key vehicle for its international expansion. The banner will continue to pursue an omnichannel approach, maintaining its pace of openings (c.30 stores).

In Portugal, the challenges posed by lower consumer demand and trading-down trends will likely continue throughout 2023. Tourism is expected to remain the primary growth engine for the HoReCa sector.

Pingo Doce will invest in intensifying its promotional dynamics and maintaining a low-price policy. In addition, the company will accelerate its refurbishment programme to roll out the store model that reflects its long-term vision. This vision is based on competitive advantages and critical differentiating factors: Perishables, Private Brands, and Meal Solutions. The Company plans to remodel up to 60 stores and open c.10 new locations.

Recheio will grow through its competitive positioning in the HoReCa channel and Traditional Retail by expanding the Amanhecer network, where it already works with more than 500 partners.

In Colombia, we continue to see declines in real disposable incomes, with very high food inflation impacting the food basket mix.

Ara will remain firm in its commitment to low prices, being a strong ally of Colombian families during challenging times. The company will also increase the capillarity of its store network, to be even closer to consumers.

The expansion of the store network will continue to be a priority in 2023. The banner plans to add more than 200 new locations, maintaining a long-term vision based on market opportunity and the competitiveness of its business model.

Despite recognizing that these are demanding times, we are confident in our Companies' ability and motivation to continue to grow in sales and number of stores while at the same time improving efficiency to protect profitability. Because of cost inflation, the focus on increasing sales volumes and EBITDA will continue to pressure the EBITDA margin as a percentage of sales.

Committed to our long-term goals, investment is our priority. Our capex programme is expected to be in line with 2022: c.1 billion euros (c.45% of which is in Poland).

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS BY BANNER

POLAND

In Poland, food inflation reached 22.9% in Q1 23 (21.9% in Q4 22). Despite the national minimum wage increase in January, consumer demand showed signs of pressure in light of persisting price increases and higher interest rates.

Biedronka reinforced its price competitiveness and commercial actions, increasing the gap between the banner's basket inflation and the country's food inflation.

Increasingly price-sensitive consumers recognized this effort. Biedronka grew volumes, limiting trading-down effects and gaining market share.

In local currency, sales grew 28.3%, with LFL at 24.5%, also benefiting from an earlier Easter period in 2023 vs. 2022. In euros, sales reached 4.8 billion, 26.0% above Q1 22.

Strong sales performance drove EBITDA to grow by 22.7% (+24.9% in local currency), with the respective margin declining 22b.p. to 8.1%. The margin decline reflects the price investment and cost inflation, particularly in labour.

Biedronka opened 17 stores in the quarter (nine net additions) and remodelled 76 locations.

Hebe's sales grew 31.9% in local currency, with LFL at 22.6%. In euros, sales reached 93 million, 29.5% above Q1 22.

The online channel continued to perform well, with a contribution, albeit marginal, from operations in Czechia and Slovakia.

EBITDA grew 25.6% (+27.9% in local currency), with the respective margin reaching 5.1% (5.2% in Q1 22). Operational leverage mitigated the impact on EBITDA of the investment required to launch the banner in the new geographies.

PORTUGAL

In Portugal, food inflation reached 20.5% in Q1 23 (19.5% in Q4 22).

Consumer demand was pressured by inflation, and there were increasing trading-down effects in food retail.

For Cash & Carry, tourism growth continued to support the HoReCa channel performance.

Pingo Doce continued to invest in strong, relevant promotions for consumers. Sales grew 9.4%, with LFL at 8.4% (excluding fuel), reaching 1.1 billion euros. Trading-down effects impacted the growth rate.

During the period, Pingo Doce opened two new stores and remodelled seven locations.

Recheio's competitiveness drove substantial sales growth in the context of healthy HoReCa growth. Sales reached 295 million euros, an increase of 29.2%, with LFL at 27.1%.

The EBITDA of Distribution Portugal reached 77 million euros, 13.5% above Q1 22, with the respective margin reaching 5.6%, in line with Q1 22.

At Pingo Doce, the EBITDA margin declined 13b.p. following price investments and tradingdown effects. At Recheio, the EBITDA margin improved, reflecting the recovery in operational leverage.

COLOMBIA

In Colombia, the already weak consumer demand further deteriorated, pressured by high, persistent food inflation (27.3% in Q4 22 and 24.0% in Q1 23).

The massive pressure on families' disposable income is driving heavy trading-down and volume declines.

In this context, Ara reinforced its price competitiveness, continuing to earn consumer preference.

Sales reached 494 million euros, 29.4% above Q1 22. In local currency, sales grew 50.8%, with LFL at 18.9%.

EBITDA grew 19.2% (+38.9% in local currency), and the respective margin reached 2.9% in Q1 23 (3.2% in Q1 22), on positive ground even excluding IFRS 16 effects. Margin performance benefited from operational leverage, although pressured by trading-down effects, and a large number of stores recently opened (189 stores in Q4 22 and another 64 in Q1 23) that need more time to reach their sales potential.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HEADINGS

Cash Flow was negative at 226 million euros, reflecting the normal Q1 working capital cycle driven by payments due to suppliers for purchases made during the strong Christmas season. The Investment Programme reached 206 million euros in the period, of which 35% was invested in Biedronka.
