PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW & KEY DRIVERS

All banners maintained their strategic focus on competitiveness, guaranteeing a strong sales performance throughout the period and limiting the effects on the EBITDA margin of the sharp reduction in food inflation and the high cost inflation.

In Poland, where volumes in the food retail market have been contracting, Biedronka delivered solid volume growth across the nine months. This performance improved in the last quarter and contributed decisively to the one billion euros of extra sales added by our largest banner in Q3 and to further market share gains. Hebe posted strong growth in its stores and online operation and strengthened its competitive positioning.

Pingo Doce delivered robust growth in Portugal, consolidating its differentiation and enhancing the shopping experience through its ongoing remodeling programme. Recheio's excellent performance leveraged on the banner's competitiveness and strong value proposition in the HoReCa sector.

In Colombia, the pressure on consumer demand has intensified throughout the year. Ara continued to invest in price, working to reinforce its positioning and to outperform the market.

Our assertive value propositions and all banners' commitment to low prices in a challenging consumer context drove sales growth and delivered solid Group EBITDA increase. The respective margin fell by 24 b.p. versus 9M 22, reflecting price investment and cost inflation.

At the end of September, the Group's net cash position (excluding IFRS 16) was 959 million euros.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO PEDRO SOARES DOS SANTOS

'At the end of the third quarter, we remain firmly committed to our priorities. In a challenging context, we were able to be the consumers' first choice, grow sales, and protect our businesses' efficiency, profitability, and sustainability.

This strong performance reflects our determination to keep prices low without neglecting the continuous improvement of our offer and shopping experience, nor the execution of our investment programme.

We are aware that in the coming months, we will continue to be pressured by the sharp reduction in food inflation and the substantial cost inflation. This scenario will demand from all our teams strong focus, strict discipline, and a renewed commitment to price leadership in the different markets.

With the war in Ukraine with no end in sight and the escalation of tension in the Middle East, the impacts on the fragile consumer confidence are highly unpredictable. Against this backdrop, we will keep working and investing to ensure that our stores are a safe haven where families can find the best value proposition.'

OUTLOOK 2023

Despite recognizing that these are demanding times, we are confident in the ability and motivation shown by our Companies to continue making a difference and expanding their presence in the markets where we operate.

All banners are focused on competitiveness and sales growth in volume, aiming to boost EBITDA in value. However, ongoing cost inflation might continue to pressure the EBITDA margin (in percentage of sales).

We are committed to our long-term objectives and reiterate all the plans previously disclosed for each of our businesses and our intention to prioritize investment, estimating it to be in line with 2022 (around one billion euros), of which c.45% will be invested in Poland.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS BY BANNER

12.8%

POLAND

In Poland, food inflation has fallen throughout the year, reaching 18.0% in the 9M (12.9% in Q3). Since the end of 2022, consumers are progressively more price oriented. Within a more cautious and promotions-driven consumer context, volume evolution in the food retail market has been negative.

Since the beginning of the year, Biedronka led, in frequency and intensity, the market's promotional activity, providing ongoing saving opportunities and widening the gap between its basket inflation and the country's food inflation.

In the 9M, sales grew remarkably by 21.7% in local currency, with LFL at 17.8%. In euros, sales reached 15.8 billion, 24.2% above 9M 22.

In Q3, sales in local currency grew 17.4%, with LFL standing at 12.8%. In euros, sales reached 5.5 billion, 23.8% above Q3 22. Volume growth increased substantially in Q3, and the Company continued outperforming the market.

The strong sales increase led EBITDA to grow by 20.9% (+18.4% in local currency). The price investment and the cost inflation reduced the EBITDA margin to 8.6% (8.8% in 9M 22).

Biedronka opened 92 stores in the first nine months of the year (78 net additions) and remodelled 270 locations.

Hebe's sales in local currency grew 27.8% in 9M, with LFL at 17.9%. In euros, sales reached 329 million, 30.5% above 9M 22.

In Q3, sales grew 28.2% in local currency, with LFL at 17.7%. In euros, sales reached 121 million, 35.0% above Q3 22.

PORTUGAL

In Portugal, food inflation fell throughout the year to 12.6% in the 9M (6.9% in Q3).

The consumer remained fragile, with the household's real income pressured by general price increases and higher interest rates.

Sales in 9M grew 8.8%, with LFL at 8.4% (excluding fuel), reaching 3.5 billion euros. In Q3, sales increased 9.3%, with LFL at 8.8% (excluding fuel), reaching 1.3 billion euros.

Pingo Doce opened eight new stores, closed one, and remodelled 36 locations during the period.

Sales grew 18.1% (with LFL at 16.7%), surpassing in the 9M, for the first time, 1 billion euros. In Q3, sales grew 10.3% to 371 million euros, with LFL at 9.5%.

In Q3, sales reached 666 million euros, 42.5% above Q3 22. Sales grew 42.4% in local currency, with LFL at 9.3%.

In the 9M, EBITDA was at 31 million euros (42 million euros in 9M 22). EBITDA margin stood at 1.8% (3.3% in 9M 22). The margin decline reflects the effects of significant price investment, the negative impact of trading down on the margin mix, and the low maturity of many stores.

The excellent execution of the expansion plan allowed Ara to add 151 new stores in the 9M, ending the period with 1,241 locations.
