MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Other Profits/Losses)

PEDRO SOARES DOS SANTOS

'2018 was a year of great achievements. Despite the new challenges brought by the Sunday Ban in Poland, Biedronka delivered LFL growth, stable EBITDA margin and market share gains, proving its strength, flexibility, and resilience.

The Group fulfilled once again its planned objectives and delivered very positive growth in sales and earnings. This performance is particularly remarkable given the high investment level, the continued improvement in our employees' compensation packages, and the progress made towards reaching our sustainability goals.

For 2019, we expect more challenges in our markets and more uncertainty in the international context. I believe, however, that we entered the new year with reinforced operations and that our strategic priorities remain valid: to continue investing in expansion and growth, strengthen leadership positions, and preserve our profitability profile.'

OUTLOOK FOR 2019

We entered 2019 confident of our ability to seize growth opportunities and reinforce market positions.

In Poland, we expect the continuation of a good economic performance during 2019.

Biedronka is well prepared to continue adapting to the progressive implementation of the Sunday ban regulation. The 2019 LFL will nonetheless reflect the effect of 13 fewer trading days and of subdued basket inflation.

The Company is continuously improving the quality, the mix and the reach of its store network. Building on the successful performance of its smaller stores, Biedronka will add c.50 openings of slightly smaller units to the c.100 openings (c.60 net additions) of its most common format.

Hebe will continue to assertively address the challenges posed by the Sunday ban while expanding the network (c.50 new stores) and improving profitability. The banner will also further increase its convenience through an omnichannel approach to the Health & Beauty Polish market.

In Portugal, despite the expected slowdown in economic growth, we anticipate a stable pattern in food consumption.

Pingo Doce and Recheio will continue focused on gaining market share and on being the consumer and client's first choice. Our supermarket banner should maintain its store opening pace and continue its refurbishment programme. Enhanced customer experience, together with further promotional dynamics and an overall improved offer, including private brands, with locally sourced products, will remain key to the strategy.

In Colombia, we expect a positive consumption outlook despite some short-term volatility in consumer confidence.

Ara will continue to prioritise the scale-up of its physical infrastructure, maintaining its store expansion pace and preparing to open two new distribution centres by the end of 2019. At the same time the Company will keep working on its sales and profitability drivers to reduce the start-up losses at EBITDA level.

All in all, we expect the focus on profitability to continue bearing fruits in both our established and newer businesses. At EBITDA level, Hebe is expected to reach breakeven and Ara's losses should fall by 20-25% versus 2018, at constant exchange rate.

In 2019, the Group plans to invest €700-750 mn in three main areas: i. the network expansion of Biedronka, Hebe, Pingo Doce and Ara, ii. the ongoing upgrading of existing stores, and iii. the improvement of the operational and logistic infrastructure across the three markets.

The Group's financial strength will support the delivery of its growth targets and provide the flexibility to capture any potential non-organic growth opportunity that fits with its strategic vision.1

SALES PERFORMANCE

Group net sales grew 6.5% to €17.3 bn (+6.8% at constant exchange rates), with a LFL increase of 3.1%.

This performance was delivered despite 21 fewer trading days in Poland and low food inflation in our three geographies.

Biedronka, Pingo Doce and Recheio strengthened their commercial dynamics and value propositions to consumers and clients, while Ara progressed on its expansion plan and improved its marketing-mix management to further drive sales.

Sales (Million Euro)

In Poland, the food retail sector was (and remains) highly promotional, in part because of the efforts of retailers to mitigate the impact of the Sunday ban.

Food inflation fell from 4.2% in 2017 to 2.6% in 2018, namely as a result of deflation experienced in some commodities and fresh produces.

In a demanding competitive environment, Biedronka's reinforced consumer focus yielded a gain in market share. The banner was able to absorb, to a large extent, the impact of having 21 fewer trading days in the year while preserving the efficiency of its operation.

Sales reached €11.7 bn, growing 5.6% in euros and 5.8% in local currency. On a LFL basis, sales increased 2.7% having been impacted in c.1.3p.p. by the Sunday ban.

Despite the effect of the Sunday closures, Hebe's sales reached €207 mn, growing 24.7% in euros and 25.0% in local currency. This performance confirms the strength of its current value proposition and the banner's capacity to gain relevance in the Polish market.

In Portugal, the food retail sector remained highly promotional despite a favourable consumer environment. Food inflation was low at 0.7%.

The competitive strengths and sales dynamics of both Pingo Doce and Recheio resulted in their market outperformance.

Pingo Doce delivered sales growth of 4.6% to €3.8 bn, with a remarkable LFL performance (excl. fuel) of 3.5%.

Recheio had another strong year, registering sales of €980 mn, a 4.0% increase versus the

previous year. On a LFL basis, the top line grew 4.4%. In Colombia, we operated in an environment of improving consumer confidence despite some

volatility in the second half of the year.

Ara sales amounted to €599 mn, growing 47.9% in local currency and 53.9% at constant exchange rates. The Company's top priority is to expand the store network and continue to improve the relevance of its offer in different regions. Ara's private brand, one of the company's strategic pillars, continued to gain acceptance in all regions, representing 44% of sales.

RESULTS PERFORMANCE

Group EBITDA reached €960 mn in 2018, increasing 4.1% relative to the previous year (+3.9% at constant exchange rates). Excluding the impact of Ara and Hebe, EBITDA increased 3.2%.

The investments implemented by our banners are motivated by two goals:

    1. To reinforce their competitive positions, by improving their offers and shopping experience, while expanding their store networks;
    1. To create the conditions for better remuneration packages and compensation mechanisms to its teams.

A set of well-crafted commercial actions improved our sales mix and drove profitable growth.

EBITDA & EBITDA Margin

In Poland, Biedronka successfully overcame the effects of the Sunday ban both at top line and operational efficiency level. EBITDA reached €850 mn, 5.6% higher than in the previous year (+5.8% at constant exchange rate). The EBITDA margin was 7.3%, which is in line with its value in 2017.

In a highly competitive environment with additional cost pressures, this delivery resulted from careful margin mix management and strong cost discipline.

Pingo Doce's EBITDA of €188 mn

was broadly in line with the previous year. The strong sales performance softened the impact of the remuneration package improvement implemented throughout Q4 17. Nonetheless, the EBITDA margin was 4.9%, down from 5.1% in 2017.

Recheio delivered EBITDA of €53 mn, 5.1% ahead of 2017. The EBITDA margin was 5.4% (5.3% in 2017). The strong performance reflected a strategy focused on growing sales and maximising the benefits of the benign consumer backdrop.

Ara and Hebe registered joint EBITDA losses of €80 mn, with Ara accounting for c.90% of the total. The depreciation of the zloty and the peso helped reduce the value of the losses in euros. The comparable losses in 2017 were €85 mn.

As planned and despite the impact of the Sunday ban, Hebe continued to register a declining trend in its EBITDA losses. In Colombia, the improvement in the sales mix and larger scale of operation helped stabilize the losses despite the significant costs related to store and logistic expansion.

Net financial costs were €-25 mn, increasing relative to the previous year as a result of the higher interest-bearing debt in foreign currencies (Polish Zloty and Colombian Peso). We expect further future increases in net financial costs associated with our expansion in Colombia.

Other profits/losses of €-9 mn, are mainly attributable to restructuring costs.

Group net profit was €401 mn, 4.1% higher than in 2017, reflecting a very positive operating performance.

CAPEX CASH FLOW NET DEBT In 2018, Group capex amounted to €658 mn of which 41% was allocated to expansion (new stores and distribution centres). The remainder was devoted to store and distribution centre refurbishing projects, as well as to normal maintenance expenditures.

At Biedronka, the investment programme for the year totalled €372 mn. This programme included the opening of 122 stores (77 net additions), 230 refurbishments, and the improvement of the logistics infrastructure.

Hebe accelerated its store opening pace, inaugurating 51 new locations during the year.

Pingo Doce invested €90 mn in three areas: i. 10 new stores, eight of which are part of the Pingo Doce & Go convenience concept, ii. 29 in-depth refurbishments and iii. 21 lighter refurbishments.

In Colombia, Ara invested €118 mn, opening 143 stores over the course of the year. As the Company evolves in its knowledge of the market, it has managed to reduce its investment per store without compromising store performance.

Cash flow generated in the year reached €135 mn, down from €249 mn a year ago due to the higher capex payment and the lower release of funds from working capital, which was particularly favourable in 2017. Nevertheless, funds from operations grew by 5.4% to €788 mn.

Net debt evolved from a positive net cash position in 2017 to €80 mn of debt in 2018. The balance sheet, with gearing standing at 3.9%, remains strong even after the dividend payment of €385.2 mn in May 2018. This dividend represented an exceptional payout of c.100%, nearly the double of what would have resulted from applying the Company's dividend policy.

DIVIDEND PROPOSAL

In line with the dividend policy in place, the Board of Directors will propose, at the Annual General Shareholder's Meeting, the distribution of €204.2 mn in dividends.

This proposal corresponds to a gross dividend of €0.325 per share, excluding the 859,000 own shares in the portfolio, representing a payout of c.50% of ordinary consolidated net earnings.

The proposed dividend distribution leaves the Group with full flexibility to accelerate its expansion plans and to take advantage of any potential non-organic growth opportunities while maintaining a low level of net debt exposure.

IFRS 16 APPLICATION

From January 1 on, 2019 Jerónimo Martins will have to report its consolidated accounts in accordance with IFRS 16. As a result, rents expense will be replaced by interest and depreciation on the Income Statement.

Jerónimo Martins decided to adopt the modified retrospective method in the Group accounts for two reasons. First, the Group companies have a variety of lease agreements, some of which are longstanding in nature and have been signed in different legal contexts and regimes. Second, some of our major companies (including all polish subsidiaries) will not apply this norm in its statutory accounts.

As the adopted method does not require any restatement of prior years, the information presented in note number 2 in this release is merely illustrative of the impact that IFRS 16 would have had if it had been adopted in the FY 2018 accounts.

2019 results will be reported from Q1 with the application of the new standard. To allow comparison with 2018, results will also be presented without the impact of IFRS 16.

The application of the standard will not affect cash, nor will it change the way we evaluate the performance or manage the business.
