2. COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

Continuing with the improvements in results achieved at the end of 2023, we are pleased to report that the correct execution of our customer-focused strategic plan is progressing favorably, which has allowed us improvements in our main indicators, despite a subdued consumption scenario in most of the countries in the region.

In 1Q24 we obtained an EBITDA of US$302 million (2.3 times vs 1Q23), achieving an EBITDA margin of 10.4% (+575 bps vs 1Q23) and a net profit of US$60 million (vs a loss of US$55 million in 1Q23). These good results are explained by a better value offer, which translated into an improvement in gross margins of 463 bps and a reduction in inventories of 11%, as well as the increase in visits to our shopping centers.

In the banking business, we continue to see improvements. In Chile , our

largest operation, the 90+ day delinquent portfolio reached 3.5% (vs. 4.0% in 4Q23). In addition, we continue to open +605 thousand cards and transactional accounts per quarter in the region, which demonstrates our ability to attract new customers with a simple, digital and intuitive proposition.

During April, we announced the closing of the transaction with Mallplaza, which will allow us to consolidate our shopping centers operations in Peru. With this new structure, Mallplaza will become the largest shopping center operator in South America in terms of GLA, in addition to the opening of Mallplaza Cali in March of this year. Meanwhile, visits to our shopping centers grew 3% YoY.

In e-commerce, the sale of our sellers grew 9% YoY, reaching 25% of the online GMV. In addition, more than 45% of deliveries are made through Click & Collect and close to 70% of deliveries from our retailers are made in less than 48 hours. Regarding our physical channels, during the quarter, we continued to see improvements in sales levels, highlighting the SSS growth of Falabella Retail in Chile (+6.4% YoY).

We multiplied the

EBITDA by 2.3 times vs

1Q23, reaching an

EBITDA margin of 10.4%

The leverage level in the non-bankingbusiness, measured as Net Financial Debt over EBITDA, was reduced to 5.7x (vs 6.5x in 4Q23), strongly driven by the improvement in the profitability of the business (1.9x non-banking EBITDA vs 1Q23). Added to the above is a solid cash position of US$967 million (+US$432 million vs 1Q23).

We remain firm with our Net Zero 2035 commitment in Scope 1 and 2, highlighting the 20% reduction of controlled emissions by 2021, along with reaching 73% of electricity supply from renewable sources. This quarter's achievements reinforce our determination to enhance the customer experience and strengthen our profitability. I am convinced that with the omnichannel strategy and continuous adaptability, we will continue to anticipate customer needs and meet the expectations of our shareholders.

Consolidated Revenue

Revenues (+4% YoY) explained by a positive effect from the depreciation of the Chilean peso against the other currencies of the region and by lower levels of decreases in the main retailers. Regarding the operations that stand out are the retail businesses in Peru (+12% YoY, -5% YoY in local currency vs -9% in 4Q23) and the businesses in Colombia of Department Stores (+30% YoY, -8% YoY in local currency vs -4% in 4Q23) and Banco Falabella (+27% YoY, -16% YoY in local currency). This was partially offset by the retail businesses (-4% YoY vs -10% in 4Q23) and the banking business (-12% YoY), both in Chile.

Gross Profit

Gross profit expansion (+20% YoY) mainly due to:

  • Improvement of the banking business of +49% YoY (+1,532 bps YoY), highlighting Banco Falabella Chile, operation that improves 38% YoY (+2,023 bps YoY), with a lower level of cost of risk (-52% YoY).
  • Department Stores (+33% YoY): mainly due to Chile that increases its contribution (38% YoY, +895 bps), followed by an improvement in Peru (+25% YoY, +260 bps ).
  • Supermarkets in Peru improves 24% YoY (+115 bps YoY), while Mallplaza grew 15% YoY (+36 bps).

SG&A expenses

SG&A contention (+1% YoY), mainly impacted by the depreciation of the Chilean peso (~6% decrease at a constant FX rate), offset by lower personnel expenses (excl. severance payments), the optimization of our marketing/loyalty activity, and the reduction of expenses in logistics activities, which as a whole decreased 4% YoY.

EBITDA

With all of the above, we achieved EBITDA growth of 2.3x YoY, reaching US$302 million in the quarter (10.4% EBITDA margin).

  • Department Stores: We continue to optimize the purchasing cycle of imported products, managing to reduce +20% YoY the anticipation period for spring/summer season clothing purchases, strengthening our fast fashion proposal. As part of the optimization process of physical channels, during the month of February we closed the Lyon store in Chile, which adds to the closures of the stores in Mallplaza Sur and Alameda carried out in 2023.
  • Home Improvement: We continue to move forward with our selective opening plan. In January, we opened our second Sodimac store in Puerto Montt, Chile, while at the end of March we opened a Sodimac store in Mallplaza Cali, Colombia. Meanwhile, the Círculo de Especialistas, a benefits program focused on the professional segment, reached 1.9 million clients (+5% vs 4Q23).
  • Supermarkets: To make the operation more efficient and enhance the value proposition to customers, we are optimizing our portfolio of private label brands and the layout of the stores towards categories that generate greater profitability and turnover, giving less priority to non-food categories.
  • Mallplaza:During the month of March, we inaugurated our 5th mall in Colombia, in the city of Cali. This mall has 67,000 m2 of GLA and the presence of stores such as Sodimac, Zara, H&M, Bershka and Decathlon, while during the month of May an IKEA store will be added, being the second IKEA store in

Environmental

  • Falabella achieves a 20% reduction in its controlled emissions vs. 2021, and a 73% supply of renewable energy in its operation in 2023 within the framework of its Net Zero 2035 commitment for scopes 1 and 2.

Social

  • In the context of the catastrophe generated by the fires in the region of Valparaíso, Chile, Falabella implemented a series of measures to support internal collaborators and affected communities, such as donations of hygiene kits and food, removal of debris, psychological support, freezing of product prices at Sodimac and Tottus, and flexibility of payments to clients at Banco Falabella. In addition, shopping centers and stores were set up as collection points and, in Anatel's #JuntosChileSeLevanta event, a donation was made, by Falabella as a whole, consisting of money and products.

Governance

  • Falabella advanced six positions - from F to B - in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Climate Change assessment, one of the most complete and demanding disclosure frameworks in environmental management worldwide.
  • For the seventh consecutive year, Falabella is included in the Sustainability Yearbook 2024 and is, for the first time, recognized in the top 10% of the most sustainable companies globally.

7. EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

Physical expansion

We continue to move forward with our selective physical expansion plan:

  • January: we opened our second Sodimac store in Puerto Montt, Chile, with a sales area of 9,508 m2.
  • March: we inaugurate our 5th Mallplaza in Colombia, in the city of Cali. This shopping center has 67,000 m2 of GLA and has the presence of stores such as Zara, H&M, Bershka and Decathlon, among which we highlight the opening of our Sodimac store with 10,903 m2 of sales area.

E-commerce Strategy Evolution

Falabella announced the evolution of its e-commerce strategy, where falabella.com will offer the largest number of categories in one place, while Sodimac and Tottus will deepen their home improvement and supermarket proposals. Leveraging the strength of their brands, the companies will add sellers of excellence to their platforms.

These changes are accompanied by adjustments in the organizational structure and reporting:

  • Creation of the new Transformation Department, which will be led by Benoit de Grave, who until then held the role of Omnichannel Retail Officer, reporting to the CEO, and
  • Teams of falabella.com and Falabella Retail will merge progressively and will be led by Francisco Irarrázaval, current CEO

of Falabella Retail. Francisco will also continue to report to the CEO of Falabella.

Meanwhile, and in line with Falabella's comprehensive optimization plan, we announced on March 25 that as of April 8 the Linio site in Mexico was turned off, focusing our investments in Mexico, betting on the growth of Sodimac and the Falabella Soriana card.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
