R&A | 1
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 accounting standard on the Group financial statements is presented in the Appendix of this Management Report.
I - CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT
Message from the Chairman and CEO
Pedro Soares dos Santos
'In line with our strategy, consumer focus and sales growth remain the Group's top priorities, without compromising cost discipline and the emphasis on efficiency to ensure the competitiveness and profitability of our business models.
These strategic options allowed us to deliver strong growth in the first half of the year in both SALES and EBITDA.
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.'

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 like for like (LFL) at 3.9%. Benefiting from the calendar shift in the Easter season from the first Quarter in 2018 to the second Quarter in 2019, sales in the second Quarter 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 the second Quarter (+4.7%) reaching 3.3% in the first Half.
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) and market share increased. Despite the impact of 8 additional days of Sunday ban relative to first Half of 2018, LFL was 3.7%.
In the second Quarter, 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 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 the first Half of 2019.
In the second Quarter, 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 the second Quarter).
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 the second Quarter 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 the second Quarter sales reached €253 mn, 2.1% ahead of the second Quarter of 2018 with a LFL growth of 3.2%.
In Colombia, the economy reveals signs of improvement and the retail sector remained quite dynamic.
Ara 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 the second Quarter 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.

Operating Profit (EBITDA)
Group EBITDA at €471mn, increased 5.6% compared to the first Half of 2018. At constant exchange rates, EBITDA grew 6.8%, driven by our sales-focused strategy.
EBITDA & EBITDA Margin
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 the first Half of 2018.This performance reflects the good LFL momentum and a positive margin mix effect in this year's Easter period which boosted EBITDA margin in the second Quarter.
Ara and Hebe posted EBITDA losses of €41 mn, of which 89% are attributable to Ara. The comparable combined losses in the first Half of 2018 were €45 mn. This evolution
resulted from both the reduction of Hebe's losses and the depreciation of local currencies. In the second Quarter, at constant exchange rates, Ara posted losses in-line with the same period last year.
Financial Results
Net financial costs were €-16 mn, slightly higher than the €-13 mn registered in the first Half of 2018, reflecting the increase in interest-bearing debt denominated in Colombian pesos versus a year ago.
Net Results
Group net profit was €181 mn, 0.7% ahead of the first Half of 2018, despite the impact of 8 fewer days of trading in Poland.

2. Accounting policies
2.1. Basis for preparation
All amounts are shown in thousand euros (EUR thousand) unless otherwise stated.
The amounts presented for quarters, and the corresponding changes are not audited.
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 (EU).
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the same standards and accounting policies adopted by the Group in the preparation of the annual financial statements, except for the adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations, effective as of 1 January 2019, and including 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 2018 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 Consolidated Financial Statements chapter of the 2018 Annual Report, point 29 - Financial risks, the Group, as a result of its normal activity, is exposed to several risks which are monitored and mitigated throughout the year. During the first six months of 2019, there was no material changes in addition to the notes detailed below, that could significantly change the assessment of the risks that the Group is exposed to.
Change in accounting policies and basis for presentation:
2.1.1. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Group
Between November 2017 and March 2019, the EU issued the following Regulations, which were adopted by the Group from 1 January 2019:
| EU Regulation | IASB Standard or IFRIC Interpretation endorsed by EU |
Issued in | Mandatory for financial years beginning on or after |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regulation no. 1986/2017 | IFRS 16 Leases (new) | January 2016 | 1 January 2019 |
| Regulation no. 498/2018 | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (amendments) |
October 2017 | 1 January 2019 |
| Regulation no. 1595/2018 | IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (new) | June 2017 | 1 January 2019 |
| Regulation no. 237/2019 | IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures: Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (amendments) |
October 2017 | 1 January 2019 |
| Regulation no. 402/2019 | IAS 19: Employee Benefits: Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (amendments) |
February 2018 | 1 January 2019 |
| Regulation no. 412/2019 | Annual Improvements to IFRS's 2015–2017 Cycle: IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements; IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (amendments) |
December 2017 | 1 January 2019 |
The Group adopted the amendments and the new interpretation, with no significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the adoption of the new standard IFRS 16 Leases.
The Group adopted for the first time the new standard IFRS 16 Leases, with no restatement of the comparative Financial Statements. As required by IAS 34, the nature and effect of these changes are disclosed below:
IFRS 16 Leases
The new standard IFRS 16 eliminated the classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases for lessees, as it was required by IAS 17 and, instead, introduced a single accounting model, very similar to the previous treatment that was given to finance leases in lessee accounts.
This single accounting model provides for the lessee the recognition of: i. assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value, regardless of the lease term; and ii. depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the Income Statement.
The Group adopted the new standard from 1 January 2019, using the modified retrospective approach in its consolidated accounts, with no restatement of the 2018 comparative accounts and no impact on Group's Shareholder Equity at transition date.
The Group's operating leases relate mostly to store and warehouse rent contracts. In respect to its previous commitments regarding operating leases, in transition, the Group recognised at 1 January 2019 in the consolidated Balance Sheet right-of-use assets in the amount of EUR 2,402,949 thousand, lease liabilities in the amount of EUR 2,398,006 thousand and an adjustment in accruals and deferrals in the amount of EUR 4,943 thousand.
In respect to its previous commitments regarding finance leases, in transition, the carrying amount recognised in lease assets and lease liabilities as at 31 December 2018 (EUR 14,211 thousand and EUR 15,149 thousand, respectively) were considered as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities under IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019.
When measuring lease liabilities, the Group discounted lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate at 1 January 2019. The weighted-average rate applied is in the range of 2.5% – 8.9%, based on the features of the agreement (underlying asset and guarantees, currency and term).
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
- i) the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
- ii) the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months at transition date as short-term leases;
- iii) the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
- iv) the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease.
The reconciliation between the amount of the Group's operating lease commitments as disclosed in the previous year's financial statements and the amount of lease liabilities recognised on the date of initial application is as follows:
| Operating lease commitments disclosed as at 31 December 2018 | 3,063,579 |
|---|---|
| Add: service contracts reassessed as lease contracts | 47,865 |
| (Less): short-term leases recognised on a straight-line basis as expense | (7,711) |
| (Less): low-value leases recognised on a straight-line basis as expense | (97) |
| Add/(less): adjustments as result of a different treatment of extension and termination options | 527,141 |
| Add/(less): other adjustments relating to first time application of IFRS 16 | 6,372 |
| Undiscounted lease liability recognised as at 1 January 2019 | 3,637,149 |
| Discounted using the group's incremental borrowing rate (average 5.67%) | (1,239,143) |
| Add: finance lease liabilities recognised as at 31 December 2018 | 15,149 |
| Lease liability recognised as at 1 January 2019 | 2,413,155 |

19. Contingencies
Following the contingencies mentioned in the 2018 Annual Report, occurred the following changes:
Contingent liabilities
- b) The Portuguese Tax Authorities carried out some corrections to the CIT amount from Companies included in the perimeter of the Tax group headed by JMR SGPS, which led to additional assessments concerning 2002 to 2015, amounting to EUR 81,304 thousand, of which an amount of EUR 71,200 thousand is still in dispute. In the meantime, the Lisbon Tax Court has ruled partially in favour of the Group regarding the 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007 assessments. The Group appealed to a higher court;
- i) The Food and Veterinary Department (Direcção-Geral de Alimentação e Veterinária) claimed from Pingo Doce, Recheio and Hussel an amount of EUR 18,782 thousand, EUR 1,886 thousand and EUR 41 thousand, respectively, in respect of the Food Safety Tax (Taxa de Segurança Alimentar Mais – TSAM) assessed for the years 2012 to 2019. The values at stake have been challenged in Court, since it is understood that this tax is not due, namely on the grounds of the unconstitutional nature of the Statute that approved the TSAM. Despite the court having decided that the Food Safety Tax is not unconstitutional, the Companies maintain their understanding and presented the respective appeal to the Constitutional Court, which kept the decision. Pingo Doce complained of the decision to the Conference of Judges, and at the same time filed a complaint with the European Commission based on illegal state aid. The disputes are still running their course. The Group regularly assesses the risk and likelihood of its conclusion. However, in order to protect its legitimate interests and not to harm its position in these disputes, it does not disclose the amounts that could be provisioned.
In a lawsuit brought by a former landlord of the subsidiary Jeronimo Martins Polska SA (JMP) the plaintiff claims from the company the amount of PLN 10,360 thousand, as compensation for loss of profit, corresponding to rents that would have been due if the underlying lease agreement had not been terminated by the company. Given that the property has been sold in the meantime, JMP considers that the compensation claimed is not due, at least in the amount claimed since it must be taken into account that the former landlord was able to dispose of the property, which, incidentally, could have alternatively leased to a third party. The case is running its course and the court has referred the parties to mediation, whose first session is scheduled for August 2019.

Introduction
We have performed a limited review on the consolidated financial statements of Jerónimo Martins, S.G.P.S., S.A., which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019 (showing a total of 8.965.365 thousand Euros and a shareholder's equity total of 1.981.892 thousand Euros, including a consolidated net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent of 163.113 thousand Euros), consolidated income statement by functions, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the six month period then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements which includes a summary of significant accounting policies.
Board of Directors responsibilities
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union for Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34), and for the design and maintenance of an appropriate system of internal control to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements which are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, and other rules and technical and ethical requirements issued by the Institute of Statutory Auditors. Those standards require that our work is performed in order to conclude that nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated financial statements have not been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union for Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34)
A review of financial statements is a limited assurance engagement. The procedures performed consisted primarily of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluating the evidence obtained.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these consolidated financial statements.
Conclusion
Based on our review procedures, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated financial statements of Jerónimo Martins, S.G.P.S., S.A., as at 30 June 2019, have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as endorsed by the European Union for Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34).
