Message from the Chairman and CEO
Pedro Soares dos Santos
'The good results for the first six months reflect the determination and ability of all our Companies in executing, with discipline, the defined strategy and reinforcing their price leadership and competitive positions in the respective markets.
We know that in uncertain times with intense pressure on real household disposal income, it is essential to continuously provide the best saving opportunities by strongly investing in price to guarantee that consumers choose our stores. We must also execute the expansion plans to reinforce proximity and convenience while investing in refurbishments to improve our stores' attractiveness and shopping experience. All this to capture the networks' growth potential.
In line with what I have always said, we will not hesitate to leverage our financial strength to maintain the flexibility and capacity to make a positive difference in the markets where we operate, as we did in Colombia in Q2.
Our priorities remain unchanged: to be the first choice of an increasingly fragile consumer, to grow sales, to reinforce efficiency, and to protect the profitability and sustainability of our businesses while continuing to invest in our teams.'
I - CONSOLIDATED MANAGEMENT REPORT
1. Performance Overview & Key Drivers
In a demanding period of economic slowdown with consumers more price sensitive than ever, the Group maintained sales growth as a strategic priority. Investments made by the different banners to strengthen their competitiveness were crucial to limit the effects of trading-down, protect volumes, and reduce food inflation in the countries where we operate.
In Poland, in a market with declining volumes, Biedronka intensified its commercial dynamics and delivered a remarkable performance, adding 2 billion euros to its sales in the six months period and, once again, gaining market share.
In Portugal, Pingo Doce delivered solid growth, primarily driven by its aggressive pricing policy and by the contribution of meal solutions. Recheio presented a very good performance, raising profitability back to pre-pandemic levels.
In Colombia, where the environment is extremely difficult for households, Ara surpassed its commitment of having the best prices in the market. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the banner took a bold step by initiating a ground-breaking savings campaign in May. This campaign increased traffic and sales volume, reinforcing price perception and strengthening our market position.
As anticipated, following price investments and cost inflation in the three countries, the Group EBITDA margin fell 24b.p. versus H1 22 (a decline of 28b.p. in Q2). Nevertheless, our steady commitment to price competitiveness and sales growth drove a solid EBITDA throughout the period.
At the end of June, after the dividend payment of 345.6 million euros, the Group's net cash position (excluding IFRS 16) was 721 million euros.
2. Performance Analysis by Banner
POLAND
In Poland, food inflation reached 20.8% in H1 23 (22.9% in Q1 and 18.8% in Q2). Consumer demand has weakened since the end of last year, with families becoming more price sensitive.

Biedronka kept reinforcing its price competitiveness, implementing an unstoppable commercial dynamic. In Q2, the Group's main banner increased the gap
between its basket inflation and the country's food inflation.
This effort continued to be recognized by Polish consumers, and the banner added 2 billion euros to its sales, grew volumes, and continued to gain market share.
In H1, sales grew 24.0% in local currency, with LFL at 20.5%. In euros, sales reached 10.3 billion, 24.5% above H1 22. When considering Q2, sales in local currency grew 20.4%, with LFL standing at 17.0%. In euros, sales reached 5.5 billion, 23.1% above Q2 22.
The strong sales growth drove EBITDA to increase by 21.0% (+20.5% in
local currency). The price investment and cost inflation, particularly high in labour, pressured the EBITDA margin to decline by 24b.p. to 8.5%.
Biedronka opened 50 stores in the first six months of the year (37 net additions) and remodelled 164 locations.

Hebe's sales in local currency grew 27.5% in H1, with LFL at 17.9%. In euros, sales reached 208 million, 27.9% above H1 22.
In Q2, sales grew 24.0% in local currency, with LFL at 14.2%. In euros, sales reached 115 million, 26.7% above Q2 22.
EBITDA grew 37.5% (+37.0% in local currency), with the respective margin reaching 6.8% (6.3% in H1 22). Operational leverage limited the impact on EBITDA of the investment required to launch the banner's online operations in new geographies.
Hebe opened 12 stores over the period (eight net additions) and ended H1 with 323 stores.
PORTUGAL
In Portugal, food inflation was 15.6% in H1. It fell from 20.5% in Q1 to 11.1% in Q2.
General price increases and higher interest rates reduced real household disposable income, weakening demand and leading to trading-down in food.
Tourism growth remained solid throughout the period driving HoReCa channel performance.

Pingo Doce maintained its strong promotional activity and delivered good sales growth despite the significant impact of trading-down in the food basket.
Sales in H1 grew 8.6%, with LFL at 8.2% (excluding fuel), reaching 2.3 billion euros. In Q2, sales increased 7.8%, with LFL at 8.0% (excluding fuel), reaching 1.2 billion euros.
EBITDA grew 7.6% to reach 129 million euros, with the respective margin at 5.7% (5.8% in H1 22). The good sales performance diluted the impact of higher costs.
Pingo Doce opened six new stores, closed one, and remodelled 20 locations during the period. At the end of the period, six stores undergoing remodelling works remained closed.


Recheio continued to reinforce its value propositions for the different customer segments and to take advantage of the HoReCa channel dynamics in Portugal.
Sales reached 632 million euros in H1, an increase of 23.2% vs. the same period of the prior year, with LFL at 21.2%.
In Q2, sales grew 18.3% to 337 million euros, with LFL at 16.4%. The slowdown of LFL performance reflected the tough comparable base of Q2 22 when strict traveling restrictions on tourism were lifted and ceased to impact HoReCa.
EBITDA reached 32 million euros, 35.4% above H1 22, with the respective margin recovering to pre-pandemic levels and standing at 5.1%
COLOMBIA
In Colombia, food inflation was 19.9% in H1 (24.0% in Q1 and 16.1% in Q2), below 20% for the first time in 14 months.
In food retail, a contraction in consumer demand is evident, with intense pressure over volumes and increasing tradingdown trends.


Ara has consistently invested in its price leadership, gaining consumers' recognition and market share.
To consolidate its market position and price perception with Colombian families, Ara celebrated its 10th anniversary by launching a strong and bold promotional campaign with significant price reductions.
With the motto 'Nothing compares to Ara,' this campaign received widespread attention and drove a significant increase in the number of clients and volumes sold in Q2.
In H1, sales reached 1.1 billion euros, 31.6% above H1 22. In local currency, sales grew 52.4%, with LFL at 18.1%. In Q2, sales reached 590 million euros, 33.4% above Q2 22. In local currency, sales grew 53.9%, with LFL at 17.4%.
EBITDA margin stood at 1.7% (3.1% in H1 22). This margin was clearly affected by the massive price investment campaign executed in Q2. It was also impacted by the effect of trading-down on the margin mix and by the presence of more than a quarter of the store network with less than 12 months of operation. EBITDA declined from 26 million euros in H1 22 to 18 million euros in H1 23.
The banner remains focused on executing its expansion plan, and in the first six months, Ara opened 110 new stores and closed two, ending June with 1,201 stores under operation.

4. Outlook 2023
Food inflation remained high at the beginning of the year but gradually fell in Q2. It is still difficult to anticipate the inflation reduction for the second half of the year.
Electricity, gas, and fuel prices remain volatile, while interest rates, which increased rapidly in 2022, remain on an upward trend, namely in the Euro zone.
In the context of fragile consumer confidence, the rise in minimum wages and continuing low unemployment rates can partly compensate the pressure that the persistent inflation and high interest rates generate on disposable income. Consumer resilience will depend on the balance between all these variables in the three countries where we operate.
In Poland, consumer price sensitivity has increased in 2023. Biedronka is living up to its brand promise by prioritizing low prices, 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 locations to its store network and remodel c.350 stores in the full year, seizing available opportunities.
In 2023, Hebe is focusing its growth effort on the e-commerce channel through which international sales in the Czechia and Slovakia are expected to progressively gain relevance. The banner continues 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 in H2 23. Tourism is expected to remain the main growth engine for the HoReCa sector.
Pingo Doce is investing in intensifying its promotional dynamics and maintaining a low-price policy. In addition, the Company is accelerating its refurbishment programme to roll out its food store model for the future. Taking advantage of the banner's competitive advantages, this new store should enhance Pingo Doce's differentiation factors: perishables, private brand, and meal solutions. The Company plans to remodel up to 60 stores and open c.10 new locations.
Recheio will continue to invest in reinforcing 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 are witnessing further deterioration of household purchasing power already weakened by a severe pandemic crisis followed by two years of very high food inflation.
In this context, Ara will remain firm in its commitment to low prices, focused on reinforcing its presence in the country, and committed to being the preferred neighbourhood store of Colombian families.
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 its long-term vision regarding the market potential and the fit of its business model to the existing opportunities.
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.
In accordance with our long-term goals, investment continues to be a priority. Our capex programme is expected to be in line with 2022: c.1 billion euros (c.45% of which in Poland).

2. Accounting policies
2.1. Basis for preparation
All amounts are shown in million euros (€ million) unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding's, the arithmetic result of the numbers shown in the plots may not exactly match the totals.
The amounts presented for quarters and the corresponding changes are not audited.
JMH condensed 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 JMH 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 2023, and essentially 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, the accounting policies as well as some of the notes from the 2022 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 2022 Annual Report, point 28 - 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 semester of 2023, 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 preparation:
2.1.1. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted by the Group

Between November 2021 and September 2022, the EU issued the following Regulations, which were adopted by the Group with effect from 1 January 2023:
The Group adopted the above standard and amendments, with no significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
2.1.2. New standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by EU but not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2023 and not early adopted
During the first semester of 2023, the EU did not issue any Regulation regarding the endorsement of new standards, amendments or interpretations that have not yet been implemented by the Group.
2.1.3. New standards, amendments and interpretations issued by IASB and IFRIC, but not yet endorsed by EU
IASB issued in May 2023 the following amendments that are still pending endorsement by the EU:

The Management is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these amendments to standards already in place, and so far, does not expect a significant impact on the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements.
2.1.4. Change of accounting policies
Except as disclosed above, the Group has not changed its accounting policies during the first semester of 2023, nor were identified errors regarding previous years, which compel the restatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
2.2. Transactions in foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency (euro) at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.
At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on that date, and exchange differences arising from this conversion are recognised in the income statement. When qualifying as cash flow hedges or hedges on investments in foreign subsidiaries or when classified as other financial investments, which are equity instruments, the exchange differences are deferred in equity.
The main exchange rates applied on the balance sheet date are those listed below:
| Euro foreign exchange reference rates (x foreign exchange units per 1 euro) |
Polish Zloty (PLN) |
Colombian Peso (COP) |
|---|---|---|
| Rate at 30 June 2023 | 4.4388 | 4,554.2400 |
| Average rate for the period | 4.6202 | 4,945.7200 |

The CST Food Distribution corresponds to an additional rate of 33% on the taxable income that exceeds 20% of the average taxable income for the reference period (2018–2021). In accordance with the legislation in force, its application will be limited to the years 2022 and 2023.

18. Contingencies
Contingent liabilities
During the first half of 2023, the following changes occurred to the contingencies mentioned in the 2022 Annual Report:
Competition Authorities proceedings:
• In Portugal, following search and seizure actions carried out in late 2016 and early 2017 in several entities operating in the food distribution sector, the Portuguese Competition Authority (AdC) determined the opening of several inquiries, in the scope of which it came to issue against suppliers and retailers, including the subsidiary Pingo Doce - Distribuição Alimentar, S.A. (Pingo Doce) ten statements of objections for alleged anti-competitive practices, consisting of price alignment for certain products.
At the end of the first half of 2023, Pingo Doce had been notified of decisions issued by AdC regarding all of the above-mentioned proceedings, imposing fines on several retailers and their suppliers. In the case of Pingo Doce these decisions resulted in the imposition of fines in the amount around of €190 million.
Pingo Doce totally disagrees with such decisions which it considers to be completely ungrounded. As such, the Company filed the respective appeals before the Competition, Regulation and Supervision Court ("Tribunal da Concorrência, Regulação e Supervisão"). Under the terms of the applicable law, Pingo Doce also requested the awarding of suspensive effect to the appeals, subject to providing a guarantee, to prevent the immediate payment of the fines. Based on the opinion of its legal counsels and economic advisors, the Company is fully convinced of the strength and merits of its position.
• In Poland, the Company Jeronimo Martins Polska, S.A. (JMP) was notified, in 2019, by the Polish Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) on the opening of one investigation proceeding, regarding missing price labels on shelves and discrepancies between prices on the shelves and the ones indicated at the checkouts.
In August 2020, UOKiK notified the JMP of the decision, concluding with the imposition of a fine of 115 million zloty (c. €25 million). JMP, disagreeing with the understanding and conclusion of this Authority, filed an appeal to the Court of Competition and Consumer Protection (CCCP). On 29 September 2022 the court in the first instance sustained the UOKiK decision and dismissed the appeal. Convinced of the merits of its defence and has factual and legal arguments to be used, JMP filed an appeal to the Second Instance Court. On 27 June 2023 the Court of Appeals dismissed JMP's appeal, making UOKiK decision final. Nevertheless, JMP sustaining its position, will file an extraordinary appeal to the Supreme Court.
During the year 2020, JMP was notified by UOKiK on the opening of one proceeding related to the disclosure of country of origin of fruit and vegetable products at store level. On 22 April 2021 UOKiK notified JMP of the decision on the case, imposing a fine of 60 million zloty (c. €13 million). The mentioned decision is not final, so JMP, disagreeing with the understanding and conclusion of this Authority, filed an appeal before the CCCP. On 17 April 2023 the CCCP sustained UOKiK's decision. JMP filed the appeal to the Court of Appeals.
On 10 August 2022 the President of UOKiK initiated the proceedings regarding the promotional campaign 'Biedronka's Anti-inflation Shield', having on 13 April 2023 issued a decision to impose a fine of 161 million zloty (c. €36 million). JMP filed an appeal to the CCCP.
Other tax and legal proceedings:
- c) The Portuguese Tax Authorities (PTA) carried out some corrections to the CIT from Companies included in the perimeter of the Tax Group headed by Recheio SGPS. With these corrections the total assessments concerning 2007 to 2014, amount to €17 million, of which an amount of €16 million is still in dispute. The Lisbon Tax Court has already ruled in favour of Recheio SGPS regarding the 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 assessments. Up to this date, the PTA have appealed of the decisions regarding 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2013;
- e) The PTA assessed, for the period from 2016 to 2019, JMR SGPS and JMH (as the head of the Tax Group in which Recheio SGPS is included), the amounts of €122 million and €30 million, respectively, related to the taxation in CIT of ¼ of the results generated in internal operations of the Tax Group, in each of these years. As explained in the 2018 Annual Report (and previous years), this assessment results from the application of the transitional rule included in the Portuguese State Budget of 2016 (and then in the next three Budgets). Based on the assessment of our lawyers and fiscal advisors, we firmly believe that there are sufficient grounds to oppose the said rules;
- g) The Food and Veterinary Department (Direção-Geral de Alimentação e Veterinária) claimed from Pingo Doce, Recheio and Hussel an amount of €29 million, €3 million and €0.06 million, respectively, in respect of the Food Safety Tax (Taxa de Segurança Alimentar Mais – TSAM) assessed for the years 2012 to 2023. 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, that has upheld the decision. The Group filed a complaint with the European Commission considering that we are in the presence of illegal State aid. The companies of the Group continue to challenge the decisions, carrying out regular analysis of the risk and the likelihood of a favourable outcome in any of the processes and/or the complaint to the European Commission.
Already in 2023, a consumer protection association filed popular actions against Pingo Doce in respect to damages arisen from an alleged discrepancy in prices between what is displayed on the shelf and what appears at the checkout counter in its supermarkets. Under any circumstances, safeguarding the legitimate interests of the Consumer is always a priority for Pingo Doce, and therefore, as the company is convinced that there is no ground for these actions, it will contest them in due time.

Limited review report on the condensed consolidated financial statements
Introduction
We have performed a limited review on the condensed consolidated financial statements of Jerónimo Martins, S.G.P.S., S.A., which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2023 (showing a total of 12.577 million Euros and a shareholder's equity total of 2.625 million Euros, including a consolidated net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent of 356 million 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
Conclusion
Based on our review procedures, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed consolidated financial statements of Jerónimo Martins, S.G.P.S., S.A., as at 30 June 2023, 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).
