I. CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT

Message from the CEO – Pedro Soares dos Santos

'The performance of the Group's companies in the first quarter of 2013 marked a good start to the year.

Biedronka increased sales by 20% and strengthened its market leadership. EBITDA of the Company increased by 23%.

In Portugal, Pingo Doce increased sales by 5.3% and maintained its competitive strength, which supported the solid performance in the first three months of the year.

In Colombia the initial consumer's response to the first store openings is promising and confirms the opportunity we identified in the country.

The first quarter of the year, in line with our best expectations, provides a good basis for achieving another year of growth as we committed.'

Consolidated sales reached €2,771.7m, a growth of 15.6% on the first three months of the previous year, as a result of the like-for-like (LFL) growth of 6.3%, the contribution from new stores and a small benefit from the appreciation of the zloty compared to 1st quarter of 2012. Excluding the effect of exchange rates, consolidated sales increased by 14.4%.

In Poland food retail sales grew by 3.7% in the first quarter.

Biedronka achieved a strong LFL growth of 8.8% in the quarter, including a positive calendar impact estimated at 1p.p.. Both basket and number of visits contributed to this performance, with a basket growth of c.6%.

The new fresh focus rollout completed in September 2012 continues to drive the strong performance of the fruit, vegetables, delicatessen and bakery categories. Non-food campaigns, which were reduced during the store refurbishments in 2012, also contributed strongly to the top line growth.

Biedronka has maintained its price leadership and continued with the in&out campaigns re-started in 4th quarter of 2012.

Total sales of the Company grew 20.1% in local currency (+22.1% in Euro).

The expansion plan remains a top priority in Poland and, despite the bad weather that delayed some store openings, Biedronka opened 22 stores in the quarter and the plan remains to open 290 stores in 2013.

In Portugal the environment remained difficult and food retail sales continued to decline with a c.1% contraction in January and February 2013.

Pingo Doce continued with the promotional activity initiated in May 2012 which has reinforced the banner's competitive position. In the first quarter of 2013, Pingo Doce achieved a LFL sales growth of 3.7% (excl. fuel), with total store sales growing by 5.8% (excl. fuel). The sales growth registered in the quarter is a positive sign that the strategy implemented from May last year continues to work.

Recheio's sales were down by 2.1%, as a result of a strong contraction of the market, a trend that was already visible progressively during 2012.

In Colombia, Ara inaugurated its 5 initial stores and a distribution centre to support operations in the first region. It is too soon to draw too many conclusions after just a few weeks of operations, and the initial acceptance of the model by consumers is encouraging.

Net Consolidated Profit

(*) Restated – see note 2 Chapter III

Operating Profit

Consolidated EBITDA grew by 13.6% to €166.8m, and the EBITDA margin was 6.0%, 10bps down on the previous year's quarter due to €10m of start-up costs in Ara and Hebe and to the price investment in Portugal that started in May 2012, almost fully offset by the increased profitability of Biedronka.

In Poland, Biedronka's EBITDA margin improved due to operational leverage and tight cost management, driving the Company's EBITDA increase of 23.2% in local currency (+24.8% in Euros), reaching €132.3m.

EBITDA generated in Distribution in Portugal reached €46.5m, in line with the prior year's quarter, with the price investment in Pingo Doce offset by cost savings.

Financial Result

Financial charges for the Group were €10.6m, with the increase on the previous year's quarter mainly due to exchange rate differences which were positive in 1st quarter of 2012 and negative in this quarter, and lower interest income following the extraordinary dividend paid in December 2012.

Net Result

Net Profit attributable to Jerónimo Martins increased by 10.4% to €75.3m (+10.8% excluding non-recurring items).

The cash flow generated in the period was €54m, well ahead of the previous year due to the growth of EBITDA and the positive working capital movement.

4. Outlook 2013

The strong start of 2013 confirms the competitive strength of our businesses in both Poland and Portugal.

Despite the fact that the environment is not improving in either market and competition remains intense, on the basis of our 1st quarter performance, we maintain the outlook for 2013 given in our 2012 results release, and expect double-digit sales growth for the Group (at constant currency) with EBITDA growing in line with sales.

Biedronka plans to open 290 stores and two Distribution Centres in the year. The new fresh focus layout together with the Company's strong commercial strategy are expected to support LFL growth ahead of the market.

In Portugal, Pingo Doce maintains its focus on increasing market share while at the same time advancing with a cost rationalisation programme in order to improve profitability progressively over the next few years. By the end of the year a new distribution centre will be completed.

In Colombia, we are on track to end the year with 30-40 stores.

The capex programme for 2013 is planned to be between €650-€700m, of which 70% is expected to be invested in Biedronka and c.€100m in Colombia.

5. Working Capital Adjustment

An adjustment was made in Working Capital eliminating the value of long-term assets that are not allocated to the operating units. In the Balance Sheet, these values are included in the line 'Others', keeping unchanged the Invested Capital value. Regarding the calculation of profitability ratios, the Operational Invested Capital (OIC) also reflects this adjustment.

Cash Flow per share: (Net Profit + Depreciation – Deferred tax – Non-recurrent items) / Number of Shares;

Gearing: Net Debt / Shareholder Funds.

In accordance with number 3 of article 10 of the Regulation number 5/2008 of the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM), the 1st Quarter Individual Financial Statements of Jerónimo Martins SGPS, S.A. will not be disclosed as they do not include significant information.

1 Activity

Jerónimo Martins, SGPS, S.A. (JMH), is the parent Company of Jerónimo Martins Group (Group) and has its head office in Lisbon.

Jerónimo Martins Group is devoted to the production, distribution and sale of food and other fast moving consumer goods products. The Group operates in Portugal, Poland and Colombia.

Head Office: Largo Monterroio Mascarenhas, n.º1 – 9.º andar - 1099-081 Lisbon

Share Capital: 629,293,220 euros

Registered at the Commercial Registry Office of Lisbon and Tax Number: 500 100 144

JMH has been listed on Euronext Lisbon (ex-Lisbon and Oporto Stock Exchange) since 1989.

The Board of Directors approved these consolidated financial statements on 23rd April 2013.

2 Accounting policies

All amounts are shown in thousand euros (EUR thousand) unless otherwise stated.

The JMH consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the interim financial reporting standard (IAS 34), and all other International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the European Union.

The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the same standards and accounting policies adopted by the Group on the elaboration of the annual financial statements, including mainly an explanation of the events and relevant changes for the understanding of variations in the financial position and Group performance since the last annual report. Thus, some of the notes from the 2012 annual report are omitted because no changes occurred or they are not materially relevant for the understanding of the interim financial statements.

As mentioned in the Corporate Governance chapter of the 2012 Annual Report, the Company, as a result of its normal activity, is exposed to several risks which are monitored and mitigated throughout the year. During the first three months of 2013, there were no material changes in addition to these notes that could significantly change the assessment of the risks that the group is exposed to.

In relation to 2012, the European Union issued the following Regulations:

  • i) Regulation no. 183/2013, which adopted some improvements to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards. The changes relate to the form of classification of loans received from governments. Their application is mandatory for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2013;
  • ii) Regulation no. 301/2013, which adopted some improvements to standards IFRS 1, IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32 and IAS 34. Their application is mandatory for financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2013;
  • iii) Regulation no. 313/2013, which adopted some improvements to standards IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, regarding Transition Guidance, providing transition relief. This improvement shall be applied at the latest, as from the commencement date of its first financial year starting on or after January 1, 2014.

The Group has adopted the above improvements during the year 2013, with no material impact on the Group's financial statements.

In 2012 the European Commission adopted several changes to International Accounting Standards issued by the IASB and Interpretations issued by the IFRIC.

In the new standard IFRS 11 'Joint arrangements', joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method, in accordance with IAS 28. The existing policy choice of proportional consolidation for jointly controlled entities has been eliminated. As consequence, the Group decided to adopt this standard and consolidate its interest in Unilever Jerónimo Martins and Gallo Worldwide using the equity method from 1 January, 2013 forward.

In order to have comparable financial information, the financial statements of the previous year were restated, as shown below:

3 Segment reporting

Management monitors the performance of the business based on a geographical and business nature. Due to the fact that the business units in the distribution area in Portugal share a set of competences, the Group analyses, on a quarterly basis, its segments in an aggregate performance perspective. In addition, the Group also separates the distribution business unit in Poland. Apart from these, there are also other businesses, but due to their low materiality they are not reported separately.

Business segments:

  • Portugal Distribution: comprises the business unit of JMR (Pingo Doce supermarkets), the wholesale business unit Recheio;
  • Poland Distribution: the business unit using the brand Biedronka;
  • Others, eliminations and adjustments: includes i) the business units with low materiality (Marketing Services and Representations, Restaurants, Pharmacies and Drugstores in Poland and retail business in Colombia), ii) the Holding companies and iii) the Group's consolidation adjustments.

Management evaluates the performance of segments based on the Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT). This indicator excludes the effects of exceptional operating profits/losses.

18 Contingencies

Following the contingencies mentioned in the 2012 Annual Report, changes occurred on the headings a), b), d), m), r) and s), as well as a new one - t), described below:

a) In 1999, as a result of the acquisition of two companies that held establishments previously owned by former franchisees of ITMI Norte-Sul Portugal – Sociedade de Desenvolvimento e Investimento, S.A., which together with Regional de Mercadorias – Sociedade Central de Aprovisionamento, S.A., filed a case against various Group companies, holding them liable for those ex-franchisees' alleged non-compliance with the contract they had signed with ITMI, demanding an indemnity payment of EUR 14,600 thousand. The court ruled in favour of the defendants, denying the plaintiff's claim. The plaintiff appealed to the Court of Appeal, which confirmed the ruling of the court. Subsequently the plaintiff filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice, which decided that the Court of Appeal should look into the case again. The Court of Appeal

re-analysed the case and decided again in favour of the defendants. The plaintiff filed a new appeal to the Supreme Court of Justice. The Board of Directors maintains its belief that the amount requested will probably not be granted;

  • b) Proherre Internacional, Lda. claimed an indemnity payment of EUR 2,500 thousand from Pingo Doce – Distribuição de Produtos Alimentares, S.A., alleging the termination of a lease agreement by Pingo Doce, without the minimum period agreed between the parties having elapsed. Pingo Doce contested this claim based on the fact that the lease was terminated through mutual agreement. The court has decided that Pingo Doce should indemnify the plaintiff in an amount slightly below the claimed amount (EUR 2,300 thousand), from which should be deducted the amounts meanwhile received by Proherre from the new tenants. The amount due has to be determined in new judicial proceedings. Pingo Doce filed an appeal the Court of Appeal;
  • d) The Portuguese Tax Authorities claim from Recheio, SGPS, S.A. (Recheio SGPS) the amount of EUR 2,503 thousand concerning an additional assessment of Value Added Tax (VAT). Tax Authorities are challenging the VAT deduction method adopted by Recheio SGPS. The Board of Directors, supported by their tax consultants, believe that they are entirely right concerning this matter, this being reinforced by recent judgements ruled by the Lisbon Tax and Administrative Court regarding this matter. Meanwhile, the Lisbon Tax Court ruled in favour of Recheio, regarding years 1998/2001, amounting to EUR 1,753 thousand, consequently, the amount in dispute is now of EUR 750 thousand, for part of 2001 and for 2002, which reinforces the Board of Directors understanding that they are entirely right on this matter;
  • m) The Portuguese Tax Authorities assessed Feira Nova, Pingo Doce and Recheio the amounts of EUR 1,305 thousand, EUR 1,855 thousand and EUR 518 thousand, respectively. These additional assessments were issued because the Tax Authorities argue that some goods were sold at a lower VAT rate, and solely on Feira Nova they do not agree with the VAT treatment of the discount sales coupons. These assessments relate to the years of 2005 to 2010.
