MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT

In 2020, we started the 3 year strategic plan (2020-2022), which aims to continue accelerating growth, gain market share, and continued cash generation. Since the beginning of the year, we have faced a challenging scenario due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought enormous learning and motivated us to be even more agile, seeking innovative and creative solutions to be increasingly relevant in the daily lives of consumers and to generate value for our Customers and society as a whole.

This scenario also brought important changes in the consumer behavior, accelerating the adoption of digital solutions and the growth of eCommerce. Thus, in the 9M20 we posted 53% growth in Total GMV (vs. 46% growth of the market, source: Ebit/Nielsen).

This growth is the result of the combination of the acceleration of online sales with the implementation of a series of initiatives that allowed us to better serve the customer, especially at a time when convenience and security is most needed to meet consumption needs.

During the 9M20, we acquired Supermercado Now and integrated in Americanas, in record time, allowing us to launch the grocery category, which has already become the largest in terms of units sold. In the same period, we accelerated the O2O, with several integrated solutions in all Americanas stores and thousands of other merchants, generating GMV of R$ 2.6 billion (growth of 101% vs. 9M19). We also created new business models, such as the Local Marketplace, which, by connecting the physical store of several retailers, allows for delivery within 3 hours to the customer's desired address, and Americanas ao Vivo, bringing the Live Commerce model to Brazil.

During this period, we reinforced our commitment to offer the best shopping experience on the Brazilian internet, having the leading NPS in the sector (source: Reclame Aqui) and reaching even faster delivery times (33% of deliveries same day in 3Q20). With the opening of the 3 new Fulfillment Centers in October/20, we expanded our presence in the North and Northeast regions, allowing for the expansion of same day delivery coverage to more than 1,000 cities.

After the first 9 months of the year, we are approaching the main eCommerce sales period, and we are focused on making it the biggest Black Friday on the Brazilian internet once again. With this, we hope to successfully conclude a year that proved challenging, but full of important opportunities, which allowed us to present results far above those initially projected.

Accordingly, we concluded the R$ 4 billion private capital increase that will allow for the execution of our aggressive growth plan, including organic expansion, partnerships, and possible strategic acquisitions. This move does not change our commitment to continue generating cash, but it will allow us to have an even faster execution speed to continue our eCommerce revolution in Brazil.

In view of the countless opportunities that are presented, we are extremely motivated to anticipate our 3 year strategic plan (2020 - 2022), and in 2021, commence a new journey of exponential growth, with the expansion and monetization of our digital platform.

In this new journey, we will develop and expand our reach, entering scale and speed in new categories, generating growth, profitability and network effects in our eCommerce platform and the Americanas Universe.

We remain firm in our purpose of CONNECTING PEOPLE, BUSINESS, PRODUCTS, AND SERVICES and in fulfilling our important social role in the country, especially in this moment of uncertainty.

We thank our team for their engagement and enthusiasm to better serve the Customer. We also thank our suppliers for the partnership, the Marketplace Sellers for choosing our platform, the shareholders for their trust and, above all, the Customers for their preference.

CEO, B2W Digital
