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 2022 dividend payment of 345.6 million euros, the Group's net cash position (excluding IFRS 16) was 721 million euros.
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.'

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. Interest rates increased rapidly in 2022 and are likely to increase, 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 for the persistent inflation and high interest rates. 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).
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS BY BANNER

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2
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 23 to 11.1% in Q2 23.
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.

2022 2023


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 trading-down 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.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL HEADINGS
Net Financial Costs amounted to -78 million euros, compared to the -85 million euros recorded in H1 22. These costs include currency translation gains relating to value adjustments in the capitalisation of operating lease liabilities in Poland denominated in euros.
Other Profits and Losses were -18 million euros, which included indemnities, write-offs, and increased provisions for contingencies.
The Investment Programme reached 459 million euros in the period, of which c.43% was invested in Biedronka.
The Cash Flow generated in H1 was minus 127 million euros, reflecting capex payments and effects over the working capital, including the Portuguese Government's measure to reduce VAT that impacted the amount in trade payables at the end of the period.
