Disclosure of management's objectives and its strategies for meeting those

objectives [text block]

The objective of the Company is to double total sales in 10 years and to leverage operating expenses to reinvest in the business.

Sales growth will come from:

  • Same store sales
  • Sales from new stores
  • eCommerce

Disclosure of entity's most significant resources, risks and relationships [text block]

The Company is exposed to the effects of future events that could affect the purchasing power and/or buying habits of the population. These events may be economic, political or social in nature and some of the most important are described below:

I . Changes in exchange rates. Exchange rate fluctuations tend to put upward pressure on inflation and reduce the population's purchasing power, which could ultimately adversely affect the Company's sales, in particular, due to the purchase of import of goods.

  1. . Competition . The retail sector has become very competitive in recent years, which has led to the need for all the players in the market to constantly look for ways to set themselves apart from the competition. This puts the Company's market share at risk . Other factors affecting the Company's market share could be the business expansion of its competitors and th e possible entrance of new competitors into the market.
  1. . Inflation . A significant increase in inflation rates could have a direct effect on the purchasing power of the Company's customers and the demand for its products and services, as well as employment a nd salaries.

IV. Changes in government regulations. The Company is exposed to the changes in different laws and regulations, which, after becoming effective, they could affect the Company's operating results, such as an impact on sales, expenses for payroll in direct taxes and changes in applicable rates. Currently, the level of scrutiny and discretion by the tax

authorities has greatly increased. Mexican legal courts have changed their position favoring those authorities ignoring violations of form and procedu re .

Disclosure of results of operations and prospects [text block]

Note: The percentages of sales growth related to Central America are determined on a constant currency basis.

During the fourth quarter, total revenue grew 4.7%: 5.3% in Mexico and 3.9% in Central America .

For the full year 2019, Mexico grew total revenue by 5.7% and Central America by 3.4%, which resulted in 4.9% consolidated revenue growth.

Same- store sales continue to be our main growth driver. For the full year, Mexico delivered an 11.1% two- year stack growth and Central America 2.5%.

PERFORMANCE BY REGION:

In Mexico, all regions and formats delivered a positive performance. The North and South regions had the highest same - store sales growth, followed by the Cente r and Metro regions, which delivered softer growth due to the competitive dynamics and macro conditions in those regions.

PERFORMANCE BY FORMAT:

Sam's has been the fastest growing format for the last 4 years, focused on improving the members experience. Du ring the quarter we had another edition of the "Socio Fest" event, where we offered our members high quality merchandise with great value, especially on Fresh items. During the event, we also reinforced our value proposition for Plus members by offering exclusive items and prices, which resulted on the sign - up of thousands of new members.

We have made progress in Walmart in terms of omnichannel . We have taken their leadership in seasonal events to the online world, and successfully executed events such as " El Fin Irresistible". We also leveraged our stores network to serve customers in a seamless way and expanded the on -demand service to about 60% of our stores, covering 59 cities. We will continue to deepen our digital relationship with our customers to str engthen their loyalty to Walmart even further.

At Superama, during the holiday season we were able to surprise our customers with special products and exhibitions, primarily focused on Fresh categories. We are also enabling our stores with technology, such as electronic pricing tags and self checkouts, to improve the shopping experience and productivity . Another example of progress in technology is the launch of the new Superama App, which improved conversion and overall customer satisfaction.

In Bodega, we are moving forward in terms of store expansion and omnichannel. In 4Q19, we opened 69 new stores and closed the year with 2,035 stores, reinforcing Bodega's position as the leading retailer in Mexico. We also stepped up our efforts in omnichannel, we open ed more than 300 kiosks during the year, taking our omnichannel offer to the most price sensitive families, with great results.

Among our formats, Bodega suffered the greatest impact from the change in disbursement of government support programs, especiall y in the Center and Metro regions. The team is focused on reinforcing even further our price positioning and on operating more efficiently to keep the productivity loop turning .

PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION:

The Food and Consumables division was our main growth driver, followed by General Merchandise and Apparel . As we have shared with you in past quarters, Apparel sales were impacted by operational difficulties that stemmed from the issues we experienced with the merchandise imports at the beginning of the year . This has taken us to accelerate the execution of markdowns in order to maintain healthy inventories and resume growth .

Our merchandising team is already capitalizing the benefits of the adoption of an end to end and more customer centric way of working . We managed to coordinate a Walmex exclusive omnichannel event called "El Fin Irresistible" which included one more day of sales, in record time. During the event, our customers found amazing merchandise at unbeatable prices across all our formats. We drove double-digit sales growth, despite a challenging base, and eCommerce represented 8% of sales during the event.

The team is also doing a great effort to improve even further our pricing position. During the year, we widened our price gap by 20 bps to suppo rt our most price sensitive customers in these challenging economic times.

PERFORMANCE VS. THE MARKET

During the quarter, we outpaced the self - service and clubs market measured by ANTAD by 50 bps.

For the full year, we surpassed ANTAD by 90 bps. This mark s five years growing faster than the competition, on every consecutive quarter. We have been able to capitalize on market situations and more importantly, to keep the share gains by winning our customers' loyalty with a consistent delivery of our value pro position.

CENTRAL AMERICA

In Central America, Nicaragua delivered the highest same - store sales growth, followed by Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala . Sales performance in Costa Rica suffered the greatest impact from the unfavorable macroeconomic dynamics in the country.

During 2019, we expanded Coyol's distribution center in Costa Rica by more than 44,000 square meters. With this expansion, this distribution center became the largest one in Central America .

We are committed to continue investing in Centr al America, not just to reinforce our prices to better serve our customers, but also to enable key assets in the region to continue to win in the future.

Quarter: 4D Year: 2019

The world is changing, customers are shopping in different ways and we want to be there fo r them and meet their demands.

We believe that in order to scale our omnichannel business and improve profitability, we need to leverage our strengths: our stores, our merchant DNA and our service culture. In line with this, we have been working to bring t he best of the online and offline worlds to better serve our customers.

We are offering same -day delivery of thousands of everyday needs and about 12,000 General Merchandise items through our on - demand service in over 256 Walmart and Superama stores.

We are expanding our reach to new customers through an extended catalogue, composed by a recently reinforced 1P operation plus a marketplace, where we have enrolled almost 1,300 sellers. Our customers can find this extended offering on our online platforms an d across the 894 kiosks operating in our Bodega and Walmart stores.

Our physical footprint is a key competitive advantage, and to benefit from it, we have now 1,115 pickup locations operating across our formats, where customers can pick up their Grocery and General Merchandise orders with no additional cost.

During the quarter, eCommerce sales grew 47% and GMV 53%. It represented 2.0% of Mexico sales and contributed 70 bps to total sales growth .

For the full year, eCommerce sales grew 52%, accelerating from the 40% growth achieved in 2018, and GMV grew 61%, driven by Grocery.

eCommerce now represents 1.5% of total Mexico sales and contributed 50 bps to total sales growth .

NEW STORES

During the quarter, we opened 81 new stores: 72 in Mexico and 9 in Central America, this compares to 57 stores opened in 4Q18.

We continue to invest in the region despite an uncertain environment. In the full year, we opened 161 stores, which represents the largest num ber of new store openings in more than 5 years.

In 2019, new stores contributed 1.7% to total growth, slightly below the guidance, as 50% of the new stores opened during the fourth quarter and sales contribution from store openings in Central America was lower, given the market situation we are facing.

LOGISTICS NETWORK REDESIGN

In 2019, we opened two new distribution centers dedicated to eCommerce in Guadalajara and Monterrey, and we expanded Coyol distribution center in Costa Rica .

Currently, three more distribution centers are under construction: one dedicated to eCommerce in Mexico City and two omnichannel DCs in Mérida and Chihuahua. We expect to open the three of them in the first half of 2020.

FOURTH QUARTER AND 2019 RESULTS

In order to provide the investment community a better view of the underlying performance of our business, we are including a retroactive estimation of the effect the adoption of the IFRS 16 would have had on the 2018 financial results. These pro - forma 2018 figures are not audited, but are based on the 2018 audited reported results and adjusted with our best estimates to show the effects related to the adoption of the I FRS 16.

Note that all the references that I will do to last year's results are based on the 2018 pro - forma figures.

MEXICO:

  • Fourth Quarter Results:

We are facing a soft growth environment and more challenging competition; nevertheless, we have been able to generate savings and apply them to improve our price position and maintain healthy inventory levels, while outpacing the market and growing operating income faster than revenues.

During the fourth quarter, total revenues grew 5.3%.

We leveraged expenses by 60 bps to compensate a gross profit margin contraction of 30 bps, which stemmed from price investments and from additional markdowns to maintain healthy inventories in the Apparel division .

Operating income increased 8.1% and EBITDA margin expanded by 20 bps reaching 12.0%

Note: The percentages of sales growth related to Central America are determined on a constant currency basis.

  • Fourth Quarter Results: Total revenues increased 3.9%.
    Gross profit margin improved 10 bps, driven by more efficient negotiations with suppliers.

As we announced on the November sales release, we reached a new agreement between our subsidiaries in Central America and Walmart Inc., for the payment of intellectual property royalties. This agreement is effective beginning in 2019, but the charge was registered in November, affecting 4Q19 SG&A by $1.6 billion pesos.

Excluding this impact, we l everaged expenses by 30 bps, as a result of a very disciplined productivity agenda that we are implementing across the region, and EBITDA improved 100 bps, reaching 11.5%.

Financial position, liquidity and capital resources [text block]

Capital allocation is aligned with the long- term strategy .

During 2019, we made strategic investments to better position our business, while continuing to generate returns.

In line with the guidance we gave at the beginning of the year, we invested $ 20.6 million pesos, 14.7% more than in 2018.

40% of the investment was allocated to the remodeling and maintenance of existing stores, 28% to the opening of new stores, 20% to the logistics network redesign, 11% to technology and eCommerce and 1% to Fresh upstreaming projects.

In addition, we are reducing our base expenses by implementing technology to operate more efficiently and becoming more productive in our remodels and new stores investments, thereby freeing capital to build strong foundations.

Our financial strength gives us the ability to del iver short -term results while we build structural competitive advantages to position the business for the long - term.

We closed the year with a cash position of $30.9 billion pesos, 20.5% less than last year, given that the dividend paid in 2019 was 41% lar ger than the one paid in 2018.

Inventories increased 6.6%, primarily impacted by the opening of 81 new stores in the quarter, 24 new store more than in 4Q18.

Cash generation increased 5.4%, ahead of total revenues growth, reaching $63.7 billion.

[800007] Annex - Financial derivate instruments

Management discussion about the policy uses of financial derivate instruments,

explaining if these policies are allowed just for coverage or for other uses like trading

[text block]

W al- Mart de México, S.A.B . de C.V., (" WAL M EX " or "the Company") disclosure, concerning the use of derivative financial instruments (IFD, per its acronym in Spanish), in compliance with Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV, per its acronym in Spanish) regulations so that investors have information regarding the significance of derivatives in the Company's financial position and results, and can fully assess the inherent risks.

W ALM EX has adopted the use of IFD to hedge foreign exchange rates, with the sole purpose of hedging against fluctuations in the exchange rate. The Company seeks to mitigate exchange rate fluctuation risk in "foreign currency - accounts payable" related to goods imported for resale. Hedging is only executed based on the supporting documentation of these accoun ts payable commitments. This process is subjected to the Company's policy, which limits the amount and use of IFD, and provides specific requirements for purchase and payment.

The IFD authorized by our "Exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk - reduc tion" policy is the FX - Forward. The FX - Forward contract is a specific agreement between W ALM EX and the counterparty . That is why it is traded on the "over the counter" or OTC market through an ISDA contract (International Swap Dealers Association) .

The Company only enters into IFD with solvent financial institutions with solid credit capacity, and that are licensed and regulated to perform this kind of operation in the market. WALMEX's finance committee authorizes all counterparties based on credit quality ratings determined by international rating agencies, in order to reduce the risk of non -compliance and to ensure that the market value of open positions does not exceed the Company's maximum exposure and credit limits, the volume of operations executed wit h each authorized counterparty is permanently monitored.

FX- Forward are contracted for the purpose of economic hedging . The Company has not applied hedge accounting to these agreements and the fluctuations in "fair value" of these instruments are recognized directly to P&L during the corresponding period, as a financial income/expense.

General description about valuation techniques, standing out the instruments

valuated at cost or fair value, just like methods and valuation techniques [text block]

The calculation agent or IFD valuation are counterparts which, have held the respective operations. In addition, the Company through its valuations Bloomberg® platform performs its independent valuations, which are compared monthly with those reported by the counterparties. The IFD concluded with counterparties do not provide collateral or margin calls. They also do not have negotiated credit lines for the operation of the DFI.

WALMEX

Quarter: 4D Year: 2019

In the calculation of the fair value for FX - Forward, standard valuation methodologies are used as well as widely accepted market variables that are endorsed internationally. The fair value is defined as the present value of the difference between the value of the underlying forward and value agreed at contract initiation, multiplied by the number of units of the underlying. These estimates are reviewed and approved by the Treasury department, which verifies the reasonableness of the results in relation to t he valuations provided by authorized counterparties.

Management discussion about intern and extern sources of liquidity that could be used for attending requirements related to financial derivate instruments [text block]

The Company's operations provide resources to meet its IFD contract requirements. The Company also has various lines of credit that could be used, if needed, to meet its IFD obligations.

Changes and management explanation in principal risk exposures identified, as

contingencies and events known by the administration that could affect future reports

[text block]

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has not identified significant changes in the risk exposure previously identified. These include possi ble contingencies and events known or expected by the Administration .

The Company has identified the following main risks within its IFD portfolio:

a . Market risk: The Company is exposed to market risks related to variations in currency exchange rates resulting from changes in economic conditions at the local and international level, tax and monetary policies, liquidity, political events, disasters, etc . As a result, one of the primary objectives of the Company's IFD policy is to mitigate foreign excha nge risk through the purchase of FX - Forward in order to protect the Company against exchange rate fluctuation in "foreign currency - accounts payable" and related to goods imports for resale. The Company does not authorize the purchase of IFD instruments for the purpose of speculation .

b . Liquidity risk : Resources available to manage hedge operations are generated by the Company's operations.

c . Counterparty Credit risk : Credit risk related to IFD is mitigated and monitored through the established approval procedures to select the counterparty financial institutions. The Treasury department regularly monitors and updates (annually or more frequently if necessary), the required credit quality assessment and ratings of financial institution counterparties. In addition, the Company has established limits to the amount of IFDs that can be executed with approved counterparties in order to further mitigate risk.

d . Operational Risk . WALMEX 's Board of Directors specifically authorized the strategy for the use of IFD and the Finance Committee approved the related policy . The policy regarding the use of IFD describes: the objective, the allowed derivative instruments, the limits and the

Quarter: 4D Year: 2019

control mechanisms required to ensure that derivative transactions are properly conducted . All this, in order to manage and minimize: market, liquidity, credit and operational risk . The level of risk tolerance defined for the FX -Forward transactions is periodically reviewed by the Finance Committee, however, compliance with the establish ed parameters is reviewed monthly in order to detect opportunities and, when appropriate, propose action plans.

Execution and compliance with the approved strategy is regularly monitored internally by the Treasury and Accounting department. The results of that monitoring as well as identifications of inherent risks are periodically reported to the Treasury Vice -president and, if necessary, to the Board of Directors.

Additionally, the Treasury director is responsible for continuous monitoring and reporting to Treasury Vice -president of any events that may affect current IFD operations. In this case, the Treasury director is also responsible to propose to the Finance Committee actions to mitigate any events that may put the Company's results at risk.

The Company is also subject to periodic reviews of its IFD transactions by internal and external auditors who evaluate established processes and controls and the proper application thereof. The internal and external auditors also evaluate accounting records and the effect of IFD in the income statement and / or balance sheet accounts.

Quantitative information for disclosure [text block]

Adoption of IFRIC 23, Uncertainty in relation to tax treatment of profits

IFRIC 23 is effective January 1, 2019 and clarifies the application of the recognition and measurement criteria established by IAS 12 - "Income taxes", when there are uncertain tax positions. Uncertain fiscal positions are those fiscal positions where there is uncertainty about whether the competent tax authority will accept the fiscal position under current tax laws.

The interpretation will be applied to the determination of the tax income (tax loss), the fiscal bases, the unused tax losses, the unused tax credits and the tax r ates, when there is uncertainty about the treatments of the income tax according to IAS 12. The IFRIC considers that an entity should assume that a tax authority with the right to examine any amount reported to it will examine these amounts and will have f ull knowledge of all relevant information in doing so. It should also consider whether the relevant authority is likely to accept each tax treatment, or group of tax treatments, that were used or plan to use in your income tax return .

If the entity concludes that a particular tax treatment is likely to be accepted, the entity has to determine the tax income (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistent with the tax treatment included in the tax return . If the entity concludes that a particular tax treatment is not likely to be accepted, the entity must use the most probable amount or the expected value of the tax treatment when determining the income tax (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates.

The interpretation is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. The impact of the adoption of the interpretation represented a charge to retained earnings of $ 1,822 million pesos and an increase in deferred tax liability for the same amount.

Amendments to IFRS 9, Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation

Under IFRS 9, a debt instrument can be measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, provided that the contra ctual cash flows are 'solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding' and the instrument is held within the appropriate business model for that classification . These amendments to IFRS 9 had no impact on the consolidated fina ncial statements of the Company .

Amendments to IAS 19, Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement

The amendments to IAS 19 address the accounting when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during a reporting period. The amendments specify that when a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs during the annual reporting period, an entity is required to:

  • Determine the current service cost for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, using the actuaria l assumptions used to remeasure the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event.
  • Determine the net interest for the remainder of the period after the plan amendment, curtailment or settlement using the net defined benefit liability (asset) reflecting the benefits offered under the plan and the plan assets after that event, and the discount rate used to remeasure that net defined benefit liability (asset) .

The modifications also clarify that an entity first determines any past service cost, or a gain or loss on liquidation, without considering the effect of the asset ceiling. This amount is recognized in results. An entity determines the effect of the asset ceiling after the modification, reduction or liquidation of the plan. Any change in that effect, excluding the amounts included in net interest, is recognized in the comprehensive income.

The modifications apply to amendments, curtailments or settlements of the plan that occur on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins on or after January 1, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, Walmex had no amendments, curtailments or settlements of the employee benefits plan

Amendments to IAS 28, Long - term interests in associates and joint ventures

The amendments clarify that an entity applies IFRS 9 to long -term interests in an associate or joint venture towhich the equity method is not applied but that, in substance, form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture (long - term interests) .

The amendments also clarified that, in applying IFRS 9, an entity does not take account of any losses of the associate or joint venture, or any impairment losses on the net investment, recognized as adjustments to the net investment in the associate or joint venture that arise from applying IAS 28.

These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial state ments of the Company .

Annual Improvements 2015 - 2017 Cycle (issued in December 2017) effective on January 1, 2019

IFRS 3, Business Combinations

The amendments clarify that, when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it applies the requirements for a business combination achieved in stages, including remeasuring previously held interests in the assets and liabilities of the joint operation at fair value. In doing so, the acquirer remeasures its entire previously held interest in the joint operation .

These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company as there is no transaction where joint control is obtained.

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements

The amendments set out that the previously held interests in that joint operation are not remeasured.

These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company, but could apply in future transactions.

IAS 12, Income Taxes

The amendments clarify that the income tax consequences of dividen ds are linked more directly to past transactions or events that generated distributable profits than to distributions to owners. Therefore, an entity recognizes the income tax consequences of dividends in profit or loss, other comprehensive income or equit y according to where it originally recognized those past transactions or events.

Since the Company's current practice is in line with these amendments, they had no additional impact on the consolidated financial statements.

IAS 23, Borrowing Costs

The amendments clarify that an entity treats as part of general borrowings any borrowing originally made to develop a qualifying asset when substantially all of the activities necessary to prepare that asset for its intended use or sale are complete.

These amendments are not applicable to the Company, therefore they had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

  • IFRS effective as of January 1, 2020 and 2021 Amendments to IFRS 3, Business Combinations

must be applied to transactions that are business combinations or asset acquisitions for which the acquisition date is on or after Jan uary 1, 2020. Since the modifications apply prospectively to transactions or other events that occur on or after the date of adoption, the Company Administration believes that these modifications will not have a significant impact.

IAS 1, Financial statements presentation and IAS 8, Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimations and errors

The IASB issued amendments to align the definition of 'material' across the standards and to clarify certain aspects of the definition, and is applicable for periods beginning on January 1, 2020; although the modifications are not expected to have a signif icant impact on the financial statements of W ALM EX , the introduction of the term "hidden information" in the definition could impact the way materiality judgments are made in practice by raising the importance of how information is communicated and organiz ed in the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts

This IFRS will replace IFRS 4 that was issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (i .e., life, non - life, direct insurance and re -insurance), regardless of the type of entities that issue them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation features. The overall objective of IFRS 17 is to provide an accounting model for insurance contracts that is more useful and con sistent for insurers. In contrast to the requirements in IFRS 4, which are largely based on grandfathering previous local accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects.

IFRS 17 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, with comparative figures required . Early application is permitted, provided the entity also applies IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 on or before the date it first applies IFRS 17. The Com pany's management estimates that these modifications will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On June 20, 2019, W ALM EX announced that Walmart Inc. has entered into a global settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that resolves a more than seven -year investigation into the company's compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) . Through the settlements, which cover conduct that took place years ago, Walmart has agreed to a combined payment of $282.7 million dollars. The global resolution ends all FCPA - related investigations or inquiries into Walma rt and its subsidiaries by the DOJ and the SEC.

These agreements relate to Walmart's anti - corruption internal controls in Brazil, Mexico, India and China prior to April 2011. Walmart, under the direction of its Audit Committee, conducted a thorough internal investigation, cooperated with the DOJ and the SEC, and took extensive steps that have established its strong Global Anti - Corruption Compliance Program.

Over the past seven years, WMT spent more than $900 million dollars on FCPA inquiries and investigations, its Global Compliance Program and organizational enhancements. Walmart's actions were acknowledged by the DOJ and the SEC in the resolution agreements.

As part of the resolution, WMT entered into a Non - Prosecution Agreement with the DOJ. The DOJ will not prosecute the Company if, for a period of three years, the Company meets its obligations set forth in the agreement. WMT has also agreed to an administrative order with the SEC to resolve SEC findings related to violations of the FCPA's books and reco rds and internal controls provisions. In addition, WMT Brasilia S.a .r.l., an indirect wholly - owned subsidiary of WMT, has entered into a guilty plea in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia as part of the agreement with the DOJ for causing a books and records violation of the FCPA.

WMT has also agreed with the DOJ to oversight by an independent compliance monitor with a limited scope for a period of two years. Also, Walmart has agreed to report to the SEC on its Anti -Corruption Compliance Program for a period of two years.

WMT has taken extensive steps to strengthen its Global Anti - Corruption Compliance Program through enhancing its anti - corruption compliance policies, procedures, and internal controls in every country in which it ope rates. WMT was recognized by the New York Stock Exchange Governance Services, a subsidiary of the NYSE, as the 2016 winner of its "Best Governance, Risk, and Compliance Program" for Large -Cap companies.

WMT agreed to pay a total amount of $282.7 million do llars consisting of the following: a $137.96 million dollars penalty to the DOJ and $144.69 million dollars in disgorgement of profits plus interest to the SEC . A $4.3 million dollars penalty, including forfeiture, against WMT Brasilia S.a .r.l . will be ded ucted from the amount owed by Walmart under the Non - Prosecution Agreement. In November 2017, Walmart disclosed that it had accrued approximately $283 million dollars for the DOJ and SEC resolution. As a result, the amount will not materially impact Walmart 's financial results.

More details of those operations are described in [800007] Annex - Financial Derivate Instruments.

The valuation techniques used by the Company to determine and disclose the fair value of its financial instruments, are based on the fair value hierarchy level 2 (See Descriptio n of accounting policy for fair value measurements) .

Interest rate risk:

The Company has temporary investments in government paper which generate financial income. By reducing the interest rate, the financial income of the Company also decreases. The interest rate of these investments fluctuated during the year 2019 between 3.60% and 9.01%. As of December 31, 2019, the financial income amounted to $1,218,687 ( $1,268,122 in 2018) .

WALMEX

Quarter: 4D Year: 2019

Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are measured using the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  • Level 1. Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets,
  • Level 2. Other valuations including quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets that are directly or indirectly observable, and
  • Level 3. Unobservable data inputs, for which the Company develops its own assumptions and valuations.

Subsequent measurement of the Company's financial assets and liabilities is determined based on their classification .

The Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re -assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period .

Description of accounting policy for financial assets [text block]

These assets are classified in one of the following categories, as required: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, accounts receivable, investments held to maturity. The Company's financial assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and other accounts receivable which are initially recognized at fair value. Fair value of an asset is the price in which such asset would be sold in an ordinary transaction with third parties.

Assets are recorded at fair value and are measured using the fair value hierarchy, as mentioned in the accounting policy for fair value measurements.

Description of accounting policy for financial liabilities [text block]

These liabilities are classified in accounts payable, other accounts payable and finance leases; these liabilities are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently valued to amortized cost using the effective interest rate method . The liabilities from derivatives are recognized initially and subsequently at fair value. Fair value of a liability is the amount that would be paid to transfer the responsibil ity to a new creditor in an ordinary transaction among those parties.

Description of accounting policy for goodwill [text block]

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of Walmart Central America at the acquisition date and is not subject to amortization.

Goodwill was assigned applying the perpetuity value technique to determine the goodwill's value in use, considering each Central American country (Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and El Salvador) as a minimum cash generating unit.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually . The Company engages the services of an independent expert to test its goodwill for impairment. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre -tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of value of money over time and the specific risks affecting such assets.

Future cash flows consider the business plan and projections used by management in its decision making for the following five years.

Goodwill is translated at the closing exchange rate and such translation is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Description of accounting policy for impairment of assets [text block]

The long term finite useful life assets are subject to impairment tests only when there is objective evidence of impairment.

The Company recognizes impairment in the value of this type of assets by applying the expected present value technique to determine value in use, considering each store as the minimum cash -generating unit.

The present value technique requires detailed budget calculations, which are prepared separately for each cash-generating unit where the assets are located. These budgets generally cover five years and, in case of a longer period, an expected growth rate is applied.

Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as a part of other expenses.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash- generating unit) is increased by the reviewed estimate of the recoverable amount, not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the comprehensive income statement.

Description of accounting policy for income tax [text block]

Income taxes are classified as current and deferred, and are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year they are expensed or accrued, except when they come from items directly recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case, the corresponding taxes are recognized in equity .

Current income taxes are determined based on the tax laws approved in the countries where W AL M EX has operations and are the result of applying the applicable tax rates at the date of the consolidated financial statements on the taxable profits of each entity of the Group . Current income taxes are presented as a current liability/asset net of prepayments made during the year.

Description of accounting policy for intangible assets and goodwill [text block]

Intangible assets are recognized when they have the following characteristics: they are identifiable, they give rise to future economic benefits and the Company has control over such benefits.

Intangible assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost or fair value at the acquisition date and are classified based on their useful lives, which may be definite or indefinite. Indefinite-lived assets are not amortized; however, they are subject to annual impairment tests. Definite lived assets are amortized using the straight - line method at rates between 7.7% and 33.3%.

Description of accounting policy for investment property [text block]

Investment properties consist of land, buildings and constructions and facilities in properties that are leased to others and are maintained to obtain economic benefits through the collection of rent.

Description of accounting policy for leases [text block]

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. This assessment involves the exercises of judgement about whether it depends on a specified asset, whether the Company obtains substantially all the econ omics benefits from the use of that asset, and whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the assets.

W ALM EX as a lessee

Until December 31, 2018, W AL M EX considered as finance leases those where substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially transferred . Finance leases are recorded at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments and are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the remaining expected lease term including unilateral renewals contemplated in each lease agreement. Lease agreements that do not qualify as finance leases were treated as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases were recognized in the income statement on a straight -line method over the remaining expected lease term. The starting date of a lease is considered the possession date of the leased property, incl uding the lessee's rights to renewal.

Starting in January 1, 2019, W AL M EX recognizes a right - of- use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right - of- use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right- of- use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight -line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right - of- use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right - of- use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right - of- use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain re - measurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is in itially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, W AL MEX incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method . As from January 1, 2019 these liabilities are re -measured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if W AL M EX changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or terminat ion option.

When the lease liability is re - measured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right - of- use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right - of- use asset has been reduced to ze ro.
