FIRST 9 MONTHS 2024 | KEY FIGURES
IN A DEMANDING AND INCREASINGLY COMPETITIVE CONTEXT, OUR BANNERS GREW VOLUMES AND STRENGTHENED MARKET POSITIONS
Despite challenging market conditions, our banners maintained their price competitiveness and strengthened their value propositions. This approach earned the consumer's preference, driving consistent volume growth and market share gains throughout the first nine months of the year.
As expected, operational margins were pressured by basket deflation and significant cost inflation, driven mostly by wage rises in all our geographies.
In Poland, consumer demand remained sluggish, intensifying market competition. With a leading position, resulting from consecutive years outperforming the food retail market in Poland, Biedronka continued to focus on creating savings opportunities for Polish families at a time when price is the critical factor in purchasing decisions. Once again, our main banner grew ahead of the market and gained market share.
Hebe performed well throughout these nine months, with sales growth supported by both its brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce channel.
In Portugal, Pingo Doce's strong sales performance reflects the growing differentiation of its value proposition, bolstered by a new store concept that emphasizes ready-to-eat options, bakery items, coffee shops, and fresh products. Despite a slowdown in the HoReCa channel following years of significant growth, and a more recent pullback in domestic out-ofhome consumption, Recheio maintained a consistent performance across various customer segments.
In Colombia, families continued to experience significant pressure from years of high food inflation that has eroded real incomes. Ara strengthened its promotional efforts maintaining its relevance to Colombian consumers at a time when access to affordable food is essential.
Group sales grew by 10.3% (+4.7% excluding the effect of the appreciation of the zloty and the Colombian peso).
Consolidated EBITDA increased by 2.7% (-2.9% at constant exchange rates), reflecting the pressure on operational leverage from food basket deflation and price investment. The EBITDA margin decreased by 49 bps compared to 9M 23.
At the end of September, the Group's balance sheet presented a net cash position (excluding IFRS16) of 413 million euros.
'As expected, food inflation eased over the past nine months, ending the sizeable price increases of the previous two years. This decline in food inflation, combined with significant cost pressures, intensified competition and further strained profit margins. In addition to these challenges, consumer demand in our primary market remained subdued.
While we could not fully mitigate the financial impact of deflation in our product baskets, we stayed focused on the consumer by offering the best prices and promotions. This strategy enabled us to achieve strong volume growth in Poland and Portugal and further strengthen our business model in Colombia.
In the last two months of the year, with the Christmas season approaching, our teams will continue to focus on expanding our customer base while managing multiple pressure factors. We remain committed to our long-term goal of ensuring the competitiveness of our banners and the efficiency of their business models, which is the most effective way to secure strong and profitable market positions.'
The outlook disclosed on 24 July 2024 remains largely unchanged.
As expected, the Group is facing a rapid decrease in food prices and a significant cost increase. This combination, unprecedented in its severity, is straining our margins.
In this challenging context, we maintain our focus on sales while reinforcing cost discipline and seeking operational efficiency gains to protect profitability.
The strength and differentiation of our value propositions and the sales volume performance registered in the 9M reinforce our confidence in each of our businesses.
Despite Poland's substantial minimum wage increase, the food retail sector is still losing sales volume.
This weak consumer momentum has greatly intensified competition in the food market.
In an ever more competitive context where price has become the decisive buying factor, Biedronka will maintain its price leadership and prioritize sales growth in volume. Therefore, in this final phase of the year, facing a more demanding comparative in terms of volumes, Biedronka will continue to invest in price, reinforcing its competitive position and creating additional saving and value opportunities for Polish consumers.
Since our main banner expects basket deflation to continue, executing this strategy will maintain the pressure on the EBITDA margin.
Taking advantage of a high level of flexibility in adapting its format to market opportunities, Biedronka is adding 130 to 150 locations (net) to the store network in 2024. The refurbishment programme will cover c.275 stores.
Hebe will continue to focus its growth strategy on the e-commerce channel, which is also the base of its internationalization. The expansion of the store network in Poland involves opening c.30 new locations for the whole year.
In Portugal, families continue to feel the pressure of high interest and tax rates. As a result, consumption is expected to remain subdued for the rest of the year.
Pingo Doce will continue to implement its popular promotional campaigns and roll out its new store concept, emphasizing the brand's unique offerings in meal solutions and fresh products while introducing innovative services that customers value.
The Company expects to renovate c.60 stores and to open c. ten new locations in 2024.
Recheio will ensure that the value propositions tailored to each customer segment support ongoing market share growth. The gradual store refurbishments are designed to enhance the value proposition for the HoReCa channel. Additionally, the Amanhecer retail store partnerships will continue to expand.
In Colombia, consumer demand is expected to stay weak.
Ara will remain focused on protecting price leadership and consumer preference while executing its expansion programme.
Operational efficiency will remain at the center of management's agenda, contributing to the expected improvement in profitability for 2024 and the return of EBITDA (excluding the impact of IFRS16) to positive territory.
The banner expects to open c.150 new stores and invest in further logistics capacity in 2024 and 2025, having already opened a new distribution centre this year.
Our long-term vision remains unchanged, and we reiterate our commitment to our 2024 capex programme, which should be just over 1 billion euros across all businesses. In addition to expanding and remodelling the store networks, the program will also reinforce the logistic infrastructure in Poland, Portugal, and Colombia and the launch of operations in Slovakia.
We also anticipate higher working capital levels. Deflation, low growth, high interest rates, and credit constraints are pressuring our small local commercial partners, particularly in private brand and fresh categories, which may lead us to shorten payment periods.
In Poland, food inflation averaged 2.8% in the first nine months of the year (4% in Q3). After declining until March, food inflation rose in April with the reintroduction of VAT on basic food products and has continued rising since then.
The consumers remained cautious throughout the period, focusing on prices and promotions, with food retail sales at constant prices presenting a negative trend.

Biedronka maintained its price leadership, consistently providing the most competitive prices to Polish families. With its deep understanding of consumers and an agile response to their needs and expectations, our main banner has the trust of its large customer base. Biedronka continued to outperform the market with strong volume growth on an LFL basis.
Sales increased 3.9% in local currency, with LFL at -0.7%. In euros, sales reached 17.5 billion, 10.4% more than in 9M 23. In Q3, sales in local currency grew 2.6%, registering a LFL of -1.9%. Sales in euros amounted to 5.9 billion, 7.8% more than in Q3 23.
After two years of steep inflation, the adjustment of food prices led Biedronka to operate with significant basket deflation in the first three quarters of this year. Despite the challenging comparisons to the prior year, positive LFL volume growth in the nine months increased the company's market share.
EBITDA fell by 0.7% (-6.6% in local currency). In a year strongly impacted by the decision to significantly increase the wages of the operational teams and by price investments, the operational deleveraging caused by basket deflation pressured, as expected, the EBITDA margin, which stood at 7.7% (8.6% in 9M 23).
Biedronka opened 104 stores in the period (90 net stores) and carried out 156 renovations.

Hebe grew sales by 20.6% in the 9M (in local currency), with LFL at 11%. In euros, sales reached 422 million, 28.3% above 9M 23. In Q3, sales in local currency grew 18.3%, registering a LFL of 8.5%. In euros, sales amounted to 150 million, 24.4% more than in Q3 23.
The banner continued to perform well, both in-store and via its e-commerce operation, which is a key growth driver, representing c.19% of total sales.
EBITDA increased by 31.2% (+23.4% in local currency), with the respective margin rising to 8.3% (8.2% in 9M 23).
Hebe opened 27 stores in the Polish market, ending the period with a total of 368 stores in Poland and two in the Czech Republic.

Biedronka LFL
In Portugal, food inflation was 2.1% in the 9M and 3% in Q3.
Consumers remained highly focused on price opportunities and promotions in the food retail market.
The HoReCa channel revealed some weakness following a strong performance in the previous years.

Pingo Doce's sales increased by 4.7% to reach 3.7 billion euros, with LFL at 4.4% (excluding fuel).
In Q3, sales grew 2.7% to reach 1.3 billion euros with an LFL of 1.5% (excluding fuel).
The banner's LFL, which incorporated basket deflation throughout the period, recorded solid volume growth, primarily supported by enhanced differentiation of the value proposition, namely in meal solutions, following the store remodelling programme designed to implement the All About Food concept.
Pingo Doce opened 6 stores (3 net additions) and remodelled 50 stores during this period.
Recheio recorded sales of 1 billion euros, 1.8% above the 9M 23, with an LFL of 1.9%. In Q3, sales were 376 million euros, 1.3% above Q3 23, with an LFL of 1.6%.
The performance of the HoReCa channel continued to reflect some weakness in domestic out-of-home consumption. Nevertheless, with increased investment to protect its market position, Recheio gained clients across all its segments.
Portugal Distribution's EBITDA amounted to 269 million euros, 0.3% above the same period of the previous year, with the respective margin reaching 5.7% (5.9% in 9M 23). The investment in pricing, which was recently increased for Recheio to protect the performance of the HoReCa channel, and cost inflation pressured the EBITDA margin during the period.
In Colombia, food inflation was 3.4% in 9M and 3.8% in Q3. Persistently high prices put constant pressure on families, reducing volumes and causing trading-down in the food retail market.

Ara maintained its commercial strategy, reinforcing the strength of its pricing positioning and presenting saving opportunities that are welcomed by Colombian families.
Sales grew 10.9% in local currency, with an LFL of -0.6%. In euros, sales reached 2.1 billion in the 9M, 21.5% above 9M 23.
In Q3, Ara's sales increased by 4.3% to 694 million euros, including an LFL of -3.1%, impacted by lower consumer demand.
The banner opened 87 new stores, closing the period with a network of 1,377 locations.




EBITDA was 65 million euros, 107.2% above 9M 23 (+89.1% in local currency), with the respective margin at 3.1% (1.8% in 9M 23). The EBITDA margin increase reflects a change in commercial dynamic and cost savings that allowed the banner to face the challenges posed by weak consumer demand.
The Net Financial Results were -195 million euros. The increase in net interest expenses is due to the rise in net debt and the impact of higher interest rates on Ara's financing costs in Colombian pesos. Higher capitalized leases following the capex programme execution also led to this increase.
Other Profits and Losses amounted to -74 million euros, including 40 million euros devoted to the initial endowment to the Jerónimo Martins Foundation. It also includes the write-offs resulting from the remodellings and some restructuring costs.
The Investment Programme reached a total of 648 million euros.
The Cash Flow generated in the period was minus 387 million euros, an outcome severely impacted by the transition from high food inflation to deflation.
On October 17, the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection in Poland issued an oral ruling, disclosed by UOKiK and reported in the press. The Court ruled on the appeal presented by Jeronimo Martins Polska (JMP) against the decision of the mentioned Authority regarding JMP's alleged abuse of bargaining power in commercial relations with suppliers, namely of fruits and vegetables. The Court upheld UOKiK's decision in 7 of the 214 cases presented, reducing the fine from 723 to 506 million zloty.
JMP reiterates that it has always engaged in transparent and fair negotiations, aiming to build long-term relationships essential for its supply chain's sustainability and to serve consumers in Poland. During the trial, factual arguments (including testimonies from the suppliers in question) and legal arguments were presented, demonstrating the merits of its defence. JMP believes this should have led to a complete acquittal rather than a partial one. As such, JMP will appeal to the second-instance Court, pending receipt of the written ruling and respective reasoning.
