MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT

In 2019 we strengthened our presence in the Brazilian market as a multi-business,multi-format and multi-region company as a result of the strategic management of our portfolio, as well as by positioning and adjusting the value proposition of banners and the offering of products and services to match the needs of our clients.

With the divestment of our entire interest in Via Varejo, concluded in June, we focused 100% of our operations on food retail and took an important step in the process of structure simplification of Casino Group, our parent company, in Latin America. The acquisition of 96.57% of the capital stock of Grupo Éxito, which is now part of GPA's portfolio, expanded our operations to other countries and was carried out with a high level of transparency, enabling the creation of greater value for our stakeholders. GPA has established itself as South America's largest food retail company by absorbing Grupo Éxito, the retail market leader in Colombia and with operations in Uruguay and Argentina. In this context, we were pleased to receive the approval of the Board of Directors and our shareholders for GPA's migration to Novo Mercado, the special listing segment of B3. We expect to conclude the Company's admission in the first quarter of 2020.

We took important strides, despite a challenging economic scenario in which consumption was sharply affected by high unemployment rates: gross sales in Brazil increased 10.2% from the prior year, ending 2019 at R$59.1 billion. The group's consolidated sales, including Éxito's results in December, reached R$61.5 billion in the year. We also registered 7.9% growth in EBITDA, which totaled R$4.0 billion, and net income of R$790 million.

We maintained the strong growth of the Assaí banner, with an increase of more than R$ 5 billion in sales and continued growth in customer traffic and market share, despite a strong comparison base, and profitability evolution. With record store openings in a single year, the 22 new stores inaugurated confirm the successful expansion strategy of the model, which is already fully embedded in the routine of Brazilian consumers.

At Multivarejo, we took a major step in building a portfolio that better meets the clients' needs, as well as reinforce consumers' power of choice, thus ensuring a better offering of products and services. All in all, 122 stores were renovated, converted or inaugurated in the year, making us more confident for 2020.

Our focus on improving our clients' shopping experience was materialized with the renovation of Pão de Açúcar stores under the concept of last generation stores, presenting a multi-channel,multi-sensory and multi-solution space. By the end of 2019, the 46 renovated stores already accounted for 40% of the banner's revenue, delivering significant outstanding performance within the business unit in terms of sales and profitability.

Also noteworthy is the process of conversion of Extra supermarket stores into Compre Bem and Mercado Extra stores, reaching 70% of the business portfolio, matched by significant growth in sales, volume and customers. The Proximity business continues to soar, thanks to its effective value proposition, as evidenced by the continuous increase in sales - seven consecutive quarters of growth - and profitability gains throughout the year.

Our Private-Label Brands, an important pillar of loyalty-building and profitability of our business, had their portfolio completely revamped with the launch of more than 1,500 products and entry into new categories, which increased the share of sales and a more integrated strategy for the Group's different businesses.

2

We continue to strengthen the GPA ecosystem and advance in our digital transformation strategy in a continuous process of integrated evolution of online and offline solutions, reaffirming our leadership in the food e-commerce segment, which grows more than 40% in the year.

With innovation present in our DNA, one year after the commercial partnership with the startup Cheftime, we acquired the foodtech in November 2019 and accelerated its development; we also expanded the James Delivery operation to 19 cities and created Brazil's first retail coalition program - Stix Fidelidade - in partnership with Raia Drogasil, the leader in the Brazilian drugstore market.

As an agent of change in society, we have as our Company's sustainability guidelines the purpose of promoting conscious consumption and supply, minimizing our environmental impact, contributing with transformations in our entire value chain, valuing our people by promoting inclusion and diversity; and strengthening our relationships and engagement to the society that we are part of. Our initiatives on these fronts are executed through a transparent management whose cornerstone is to integrate sustainability into the Group's strategy and business model, aiming for economic, social and environmentally sustainable results.

With the conviction that we can and must create positive impact, including the contribution for a more inclusive and representative society, we sought to achieve our commitment to increase the number of employees that are: disabled, over 60 years old, youngsters, women, and of color for leadership positions. As part of our progress on our diversity goals, we reinforced agendas that fight racial discrimination and promote LGBTQIA+ rights. With the goal of advancing towards gender equality, we implemented our Leadership Development Program for Women, reaching more than 200 female managers, and proudly received in 2019 the Women in Leadership Award from Valor Econômico in the retail category, as well as the WEP's Award (Women's Empowerment Principles) from ONU Mulheres in the bronze category.

The year 2020 has shown a positive outlook, in light of signs of improvement in the country's macroeconomic scenario, combined with the results that countless work fronts and the rollout of the strategic business plan will bring to the Company.

This year, we will focus heavily on the hypermarket format, with the project to reformulate the stores' portfolio. We will maintain Assaí's expansion plan in full swing, with new organic stores and hypermarkets conversions, and will once again invest in the organic growth of Pão de Açúcar, in addition to the renovation of new stores under the last generation concept, and of Minuto Pão de Açúcar.

All digital transformation fronts will continue in a process that is further integrated with business, guided by the alignment of the four fundamental pillars: profitability, scalability, cost reduction and better customer experience.

To execute this plan, we count on a highly engaged team of more than 110,000 employees, the support of our shareholders, partnerships with our suppliers and the trust of our customers. The relationships we forge are strengthened by our commitment to serve our customers and contribute to society, supporting initiatives with the highest impact and growing in a sustainable manner for the prosperity of all.

1. OPERATING PERFORMANCE BY BUSINESS Assaí

4Q19

  1. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. (2) Adjusted for Other Operating Income and Expenses.
  1. Excludes non-recurring effects. In 4Q18, these effects amounted to R$145 million in Assaí, comprising R$78 million in credits related entirely to 9M18 (therefore, non-recurring in the quarter and recurring in the year 2018) and R$67 million in credits related to periods prior to 2018, non-recurring in the quarter and in the year, which complements the amounts already recorded.

For another quarter, Assaí registered strong growth in gross revenue, which amounted to R$ 8.7 billion (+19.7%), driven by solid performance resulted from the largest expansion in Assaí´s history (22 stores inaugurated in 2019), as well as "same-store" performance.

Gross profit amounted to R$ 1.4 billion, with margin of 17.1%, following the trend of previous quarters, reflecting the: (i) accelerated maturation of stores inaugurated in previous years; (ii) concentration of store openings in regions where Assaí already operates; (iii) one of the lowest historical levels of shrinkage; and (iv) appropriate commercial management, and the channel's appeal to its target audience, which includes companies and individuals.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased at a lower rate than revenue growth despite the highest number of inaugurations ever done by the banner in a single quarter: 13 stores in 11 different States.

Following the growth trend seen in recent quarters, adjusted EBITDA totaled R$ 624 million, a robust growth of 39.8%, and margin rose 110 bps to 7.8%. Adjusted EBITDA before IFRS stood at R$ 563 million and margin of 7.0%, reflecting the consistently strong results throughout the year.

2019

  1. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. (2) Adjusted for Other Operating Income and Expenses.
  1. Excludes non-recurring effects. In 2018, these effects amounted to R$436 million in Assaí, comprising R$369 million from the reversal of the provision for ICMS ST tax credits related to periods before 2018 in 2Q18 and R$67 million of additional credits recorded in 4Q18.

The year of 2019 was another year of success for Assaí, reaffirming the strength of its business model. The format expanded its relevance for the Group, accounting for more than 51% of GPA's sales in Brazil.

The excellent performance of the stores' expansion, combined with optimal positioning and successful commercial policy resulted in an increase of more than 3x in sales in the last 5 years, with market share expanding to 28.5% (+750 bps in the period), contributing to the growth of the wholesale format in the country.

Revenue in 2019 reached R$ 30.4 billion (+21.9%), an addition of approximately R$5.5 billion in the year, driven by the excellent performance of the 22 stores inaugurated in the year and the maturation of previous expansions, as well as the "same-store" growth of 6.3%, despite the strong comparison base in 2018 (+8.3%).

Gross margin reached 16.5%, mainly reflecting the maturation of stores resulting from the expansion in recent years.

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained stable as a ratio of net sales (9.6%), despite the 22 new stores and the format's entry into 3 new states (Tocantins, Amapá and Rondônia), thanks to the strict control of expenses and productivity gains.

As a result, Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1.9 billion in 2019, an increase of R$396 million in the year (+25.5%) and margin of 7.0%. EBITDA before IFRS amounted to R$ 1.7 billion and margin was 6.3%, achieving the guidance disclosed early in the year.

Priorities for the coming years:

Multivarejo

4Q19

(1) Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. (2) Adjusted for Other Operating Income and Expenses.

Gross sales amounted to R$ 7.7 billion in 4Q19, impacted by the acceleration of the renovation and refurbishment process of 51 stores in the quarter, as follows: (i) renovation of 18 Pão de Açúcar stores; and (ii) conversion of 33 Extra Super stores, of which 18 were converted into Mercado Extra and 15 into Compre Bem. The main initiatives for sales growth in 2020 are detailed in pages 9 and 10.

In the quarter, gross profit was R$1.7 billion and margin stood at 24.0%, reflecting:

  1. non-recurringeffects related to strategic projects that had a one-off impact in 4Q19 (around 170 bps):
    • large amount of stores being renovated/converted in the quarter (51 stores), which led to an increase in intense promotional activity during the reopening period, as well as shrinkage impacts;
    • animal protein segment, especially Beef, Poultry and Pig Meat, impacted by drastic changes in market conditions.
  2. other effects (around 160 bps), of which we highlight:
    • continuation of higher investments in price competitiveness across all formats, especially Black Friday campaigns;

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6.1% in the quarter, down 80 bps as a ratio of net revenue, due to the continued discipline in expenses control, especially marketing expenses, through higher use of digital media and renegotiation of general services agreements.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$445 million, with margin of 6.2%. Adjusted EBITDA before IFRS stood at R$200 million and margin came to 2.8%, reflecting the lower gross margin mentioned above. The main initiatives to increase Multivarejo's profitability in 2020 are detailed in pages 9 and 10.

2019

  1. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. (2) Adjusted for Other Operating Income and Expenses.

Gross sales totaled R$28.7 billion in the year, similar to 2018. The year of 2019 was challenging for Multivarejo, with economic recovery slower than expected along the year. One of the noteworthy strategic pillars in 2019 was the accelerated optimization of the stores' portfolio to become better aligned with consumers' needs, with significant performance improvements in the Pão de Açúcar G7, Mercado Extra, Compre Bem, Proximity and food e-commerce formats, ensuring a better offering of products and services, and strengthening consumers' power of choice. The main initiatives to increase sales are detailed on pages 10 and 11.

Gross profit totaled R$7.0 billion and margin stood at 26.3%, mainly due to investments throughout the year to drive competitiveness in all formats and the non-recurring effects of 4Q19, as described previously.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined 1.3% to R$5.3 billion, stemming from the continuous focus on expense control.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$1.9 billion, with margin of 7.2% Adjusted EBITDA before IFRS totaled R$1.1 billion, with margin of 4.3%. The main initiatives to increase Multivarejo's profitability in 2020 are detailed on pages 9 and 10.

  1. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES

In the quarter, the "Other Income and Expenses" line was an expense of R$227 million, mainly related to: (i) expenses with restructuring in Brazilian operations and expenses due to the acquisition of Grupo Éxito; (ii) tax contingencies; and (iii) results from property and equipment. In the year, the "Other Income and Expenses" line was an expense of R$459 million - the increase from last year was mostly due to the integration of Latin American assets.

III. FINANCIAL RESULT

In 4Q19, net financial result of GPA Consolidated was R$ 442 million, equivalent to 2.6% of net revenue. The main amount is related to financial expenses of R$361 million, composed mostly of expenses related to funding for the acquisition of Grupo Éxito.

Considering the Brazilian Food segment, financial result came to R$250 million in 4Q19, equivalent to 1.7% of net revenue, stable in relation to 4Q18. The main variations were:

  • Financial Income: the reduction vs. 4Q18 was due to positive one-off effects related to restatement last year;
  • Cost of debt: lowest level vs. 4Q18 due to a drop in interest rates;
  • Sales of receivables: lower volume of receivables discounted than in 4Q18 and lower CDI rate in the period;
  • Variations in contingencies and other expenses: similar to in 4Q18.

Due to the adoption of IFRS 16, the financial result now includes Interest on lease liability. In the quarter, a sum of R$ 164 million was recognized under this line.

In 2019, net financial result of GPA Consolidated came to an expense of R$ 1.2 billion, representing 2.1% of net revenue. The main components are related to higher financial income resulting from the higher cash position after Via Varejo's sale of interest in June and the increase in the cost of debt due to the funding operation to acquire interest in Grupo Éxito.

12

IV. NET INCOME

  1. Excludes non-recurring effects. In 4Q18, these effects amounted to R$145 million in Assaí comprising R$78 million in credits related entir ely to 9M18 (therefore, non-recurring in the quarter and recurring in the year 2018) and R$67 million in credits from periods prior to 2018, non-recurring in the quarter and in the year, which complements the amounts already recorded.
  1. Excludes non-recurring effects. In 2018, these effects amounted to R$436 million in Assaí, composed of R$369 million of reversal of provision of ICMS ST tax credits related to periods before 2018 in 2Q18 and R$67 million of additional credits recorded in 4Q18. At Multivarejo, the 2018 effects are due to the sale of a part of the tax credits related to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS/COFINS calculation base in the net amount of R$45 million in 2Q18.

Net income attributable to controlling shareholders of GPA Consolidated in the year reached R$790 million, with margin of 1.4%, affected by R$231 million of costs related to the LatAm restructuring. In the quarter, this line totaled R$84 million, with margin of 0.5%.

V. NET DEBT

To calculate the indicators in the table below, the Company does not consider the lease liabilities related to IFRS 16.

(1) EBITDA before IFRS 16 in the last 12 months. For 2019, pro forma Adjusted EBITDA was used, i.e., considering 12 months of consolidation of Grupo Éxito operations.

Net debt adjusted by the balance of unsold receivables totaled R$6.1 billion for GPA Consolidated, equivalent to 1.5x net debt/pro forma(1) adjusted EBITDA, mainly reflecting the funding operation earmarked to acquire control of Grupo Éxito. The higher leverage is in line with the Company's plan due to the Latin American restructuring and remains at an adequate level.

At the end of the year, cash balance was R$7.9 billion, plus the balance of unsold receivables of R$66 million, totaling R$8.0 billion in cash and equivalents.

XI. IFRS 16

As of January 1, 2019, GPA's results include the effects of IFRS 16/CPC 06 (R2) - Leases, which eliminates the distinction between operating and financial leases and requires the recognition of a financial asset and liability related to future leases, discounted at present value for virtually all lease agreements of our stores.

The Company opted for full retrospective adoption as if the pronouncement had been adopted since the start of the contracts, in order to show the comparative effects for each past period. As such, operational lease expenses are replaced by depreciation expenses related to the right of use and interest expenses related to the lease liability.

The table below shows the adjustments to reconcile the effects of IFRS 16 for GPA Consolidated and GPA Food in 4Q19 and 2019:

(1) Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. (2) Adjusted for Other Operating Income and Expenses.

  1. Excludes non-recurring effects. In 4Q18, these effects amounted to R$145 million in Assaí, comprising R$78 million in credits related entirely to 9M18 (therefore, non-recurring in the quarter and recurring in the year of 2018) and R$67 million in credits from periods prior to 2018, non-recurring in the quarter and in the year, which complements the amounts already recorded. In net income, amounts are net of income tax.

  1. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization. (2) Adjusted for Other Operating Income and Expenses.
  1. Excludes non-recurring effects. In 2018, these effects amounted to R$436 million in Assaí, comprising R$369 million of reversal of provision of ICMS ST tax credits related to periods before 2018 in 2Q18 and R$67 million of additional credits recorded in 4Q18. At Multivarejo, the 2018 effects are due to the third-party sale of part of the tax credits related to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS/COFINS calculation base in the net amount of R$45 million in 2Q18. In net income, amounts are net of income tax.

Adjusted EBITDA: Measure of profitability calculated by excluding Other Operating Income and Expenses from EBITDA.

Earnings per Share: Diluted earnings per share are calculated as follows:

  • Numerator: profit in the year adjusted by dilutive effects of stock options granted by subsidiaries.
  • Denominator: number of shares of each category adjusted to include potential shares corresponding to dilutive instruments (stock options), less the number of shares that could be bought back at the market, as applicable.

Equity instruments that will or may be settled with the Company and its subsidiaries' shares are only included in the calculation when their settlement has a dilutive impact on earnings per share.
