ITR – Interim Financial Information – March 31,2021 – COMPANHIA BRASILEIRA DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO

Independent auditor’s review report on quarterly information

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“Company”), included in the Interim Financial Information Form - ITR, for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which comprises the balance sheet as at March 31, 2021 and the related statements of profit and loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Reporting and international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards on auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) and international standard IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information - ITR and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.

Other matters

Statements of value added

The aforementioned interim financial information includes the individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of international standard IAS 34. These statements have been subject to review procedures performed in conjunction with the review of the ITR to determine whether they are reconciled with the interim financial information and the accounting records, as applicable, and if their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set out in CPC 09 and consistently with respect to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

Operational & Financial Highlights

Total consolidated sales of R$13.7 billion, up 4.8%, supported by:

Solid growth in online sales in all the countries where we operate: +137% in GPA Brazil and +145% in Grupo Éxito, with continued leadership in food e-commerce;

Growth in the proximity formats and remodeled supermarkets at GPA Brazil;

Evolution of the Éxito Wow and Carulla FreshMarket innovative formats at Grupo Éxito; and

41 stores closed at GPA Brazil throughout 2020, with a negative impact in the quarter of 210 bps.

The sales scenario continued to improve in the quarter, despite the challenges mainly related to the macroeconomic context and the pandemic, with strict restrictive measures involving the closure of stores on weekends, reduced working hours and prohibition of sale of some categories (alcoholic beverages, home appliances, kitchen utensils and textile, among others).

Adjusted EBITDA grew by a substantial 36.0%, totaling R$935 million, driven by comercial efficiency and control of SG&A expenses at GPA Brazil and the contribution of the Viva Malls real estate development division at Grupo Éxito.

Other Income and Expenses decreased sharply, from R$214 million in 1Q20 to R$60 million in 1Q21, reflecting lower non-operating expenses.

These effects led to an R$359 million increase in net income attributable to controlling shareholders in continuing operations compared to 1Q20, reaching R$113 million.

Strategic priorities of GPA Brazil and Grupo Éxito for 2021

Escalate the Digital Platform in all the countries where we operate: increase in 1P and 3P offer of products, expansion of delivery formats (new distribution centers and partnerships with last-mile carriers) and operation as a seller in third-party marketplaces;

Organic Expansion of the Pão de Açúcar and Minuto Pão de Açúcar formats in Brazil;

Rollout and Maturation of the new supermarket concepts: Compre Bem, Mercado Extra and Pão de Açúcar G7 in Brazil and FreshMarket in Colombia and Uruguay;

Repositioning of the hypermarket model through the rollout of the new Extra Hiper in Brazil and conversion into Éxito Wow in Colombia; and

Deleverage at GPA Consolidated.

Message from the CEO

“The results recorded in the first quarter of 1Q20 reflect profitable growth, underlining the strength of GPA as one the largest food retail groups in South America. Our efforts to reduce SG&A expenses in the last three years, combined with portfolio changes and the evolution of digital initiatives in all the countries where we are present, led to a substantial increase in EBITDA and income, although the quarter was still marked by even more stringent restrictions due to the pandemic.

Our digital ecosystem continues its solid growth trajectory. Online penetration more than doubled, and online sales accounted for 6% of GPA Brazil’s food sales and 11% of Grupo Éxito’s total sales, which shows our enormous future potential. We continue to grow through our own platform and to develop our partnerships.

In the physical stores, we continued to move forward with our plans, repositioning hypermarkets with a low price policy and resuming the expansion plans for Pão de Açúcar and proximity supermarkets. We will open more than 150 new Pão and Minuto stores all over the country over the next three years. At Grupo Éxito, I highlight the continuation of conversions into the innovative formats Éxito Wow and Carulla FreshMarket.

We remain confident and focused on expanding the omnichannel initiatives - the group’s strategic priority -, moving forward with conversions and resuming the organic expansion of physical stores, in order to provide the best shopping experience for the customers who go to our stores, use our apps and make purchases on our website. This is what will guarantee our competitiveness and profitability in the coming periods.”

Digital Strategy

Leadership in the e-commerce, with ample avenues for growth to explore

Our digital platform is being developed at full speed. We continued to record three-digit growth, with successive progressions in our 1P and 3P supply of products. We are increasingly closer to consumers, expanding our delivery radius, improving our service level to ratios above 95% and reducing wait time with the fast-paced evolution of our partnership with last-mile carriers. Our loyalty program and the Stix coalition are also at the core of our strategy, as they increase the value created for customers by our platform. Other major deliveries are in the pipeline: our fulfillment service for marketplace sellers is already being tested; our digital wallet is under development; we are advancing in the construction of our customer knowledge platform in order to increase their lifetime value; and we are making progress in the monetization of insights with third parties.

We are working towards making our customers increasingly multichannel and digital: the number of customers who made purchases on our digital platforms grew 60% over 1Q20, with a 40% increase in omnichannel customers. The omnichannel has also been consolidating its position as a driver of share of wallet growth, as omnichannel customers spend 2.9x more than physical store customers.

In 1Q21, GPA consolidated its position as the largest food e-commerce player (1P – Ebit Nielsen basis), closing the quarter with a 71% share of self-service. Food e-commerce (1P + 3P) grew 137% year on year, accounting for 5.7% of the Group’s total food sales and 15% of food sales at Pão de Açúcar. The GMV of online operations totaled R$ 1.3 billion in the last twelve months.

In addition to rapid sales growth, profitability – which was already positive - increased by an additional 190 bps in the period, thanks to the better commercial assertiveness and greater dilution of operating costs, with continuous improvement in our service level indicators.

We have continuously improved our logistics network and expanded our delivery models. The next-hour and same-day delivery categories together accounted for 68% of total online sales.

Delivery Models

Express and Click & Collect (same day): At the end of the quarter, 290 stores had Express and Click & Collect services, an addition of 164 stores over 1Q20. Our ship-from-store model currently represents approximately 50% of total online sales.

Traditional Delivery (next day): The Company continues to benefit from the expansion of distribution centers held in 2020, and traditional delivery currently accounts for 32% of total online sales.

Last Mile (next hour): This quick delivery model accounted for 18% of total online sales in 1Q21, 900 bps higher than in 1Q20. This surprising improvement was driven by ongoing growth in James Delivery operations and new partnerships initiated at the end of the quarter.

ITR – Interim Financial Information – March 31,2021 – COMPANHIA BRASILEIRA DE DISTRIBUIÇÃO

James Delivery: James Delivery, our integrated last-mile activity that is now open to the market, continued to grow substantially. The service is now available in 323 stores, up from 134 stores in 1Q20, with an increase of 292% in GMV and 142% in the number of orders.

Open Platform: In order to be where the customer is, we have entered into partnerships with Rappi and Cornershop, and our operational capacity has enabled us to quickly escalate operations: we already have 138 stores active on Rappi and 310 stores active on Cornershop. The increase in GMV generated by the new partnerships was incremental to the James operation, which did not slow down its growth after the inclusion of new partners. The launch of operations on the iFood, Mercado Livre and B2W/Americanas Mercado platforms has been confirmed for the second quarter.

Marketplace

As for GPA’s Marketplace (3P), we continue to follow our commercial strategy of seeking partners to multiply our assortment and boost the main existing assets, focusing on verticals that complement our food core business, such as Wine, Spirits, Craft Beer, Home Care, Baby Care, Beauty and Pet Care.

In 1Q21, we tripled the number of sellers compared to 4Q20, with 4x more offers available on the platform. GMV has been continuously growing week after week, and we have quadrupled sales between January and early April. Our onboarding process is at full speed, with several technology integration projects in progress to further maximize the number of SKUs available. In the quarter, we entered into partnerships with well-known brands, such as Chopp Fast (Heineken), Grand Cru, Café Store, Melitta, Hershey's, Ri Happy, Cobasi, Madesa and Probel, which have joined a portfolio of partners that includes The Bar, Red Bull, Lego, Mobly, Etna and Spicy. The first complete quarter with the MarketPlace operations was important for the stabilization of all service level indicators at satisfactory levels.

Loyalty Program and App Evolution

We continue to consolidate our robust customer base through Loyalty programs (Cliente Mais and Clube Extra) and the Stix coalition: approximately 70% of our total sales are identified (90% in Pão de Açúcar and 60% in Extra). Also, our most loyal customers - who benefit from personalized discounts (“Meu Desconto” - My Discount) and achieve at least one goal (“Meus Prêmios” - My Rewards) - spend 10.2x more than customers who do not use these features.

In order to further encourage loyal customers to join this program, in early April we released a new version of the “Meus Prêmios” program, with important advances in the simplification of the program features on the app. As a result, our customers earned 2 million Stix points in 1Q21, with 334,000 redemptions.

We have an ongoing mission to provide our customers with the best shopping channel. In 1Q21, we made significant improvements in our digital products, such as: automation of self-service processes, integrating FAQ into the app’s chatbot; the simplification of the password reset process; the implementation of geo-targeted offerings; the expansion of means of payment; and, due to the country’s social and economic situation, credit card purchases of food items may now be paid for in installments. We are also proud to announce that we have an app that is almost fully tagged for visually impaired persons, reinforcing our commitment to inclusion and diversity.

GPA continues to strengthen its partnership with innovation ecosystems, with more than 100 active startups in GPA Labs’ portfolio. More than 40 multidisciplinary squads are working to deliver various improvements over the coming months, with initiatives fully aligned and integrated with our digital platform. We currently have over 450 professionals fully dedicated to GPA’s digital development.

(1) GPA Brazil’s figures do not include the results of Stix Fidelidade, Cheftime and James Delivery.

(2) Revenue from lease of commercial centers.

(3) In order to reflect the calendar effect, we added 80 bps at GPA Brazil and 70 bps at GPA Brazil ex gas stations and drugstores in 1Q21.

GPA Brazil’s total sales reached R$7.1 billion in 1Q21, positively impacted by the following key factors: (i) evolution of GPA’s Digital Platform, with 137% year-on-year growth in online sales and increase in penetration to 5.7% in the food category, as well as continued use of the omnichannel strategy as a driver of growth in the share of wallet; (ii) evolution of converted supermarket formats; and (iii) impressive growth in the Proximity formats, fueled by the performance of Minuto Pão de Açúcar and the success of the Aliados program, with continued expansion in the number of partners. It’s important to mention the growth of ‘same store sales’ excluding gas station and drugstore of +7.6% in GPA Brazil comparing to 1Q19, when there was no pandemic.

In the quarter, sales were impacted by challenges mainly related to the macroeconomic context and the Covid-19, such as (i) a strong comparison base in March 2020, as consumers were stocking up on supplies at the beginning of the pandemic; (ii) end of emergency aid payments in the quarter; (iii) strict restrictive measures imposed by local governments, including the closure of stores on weekends, reduced working hours and prohibition of sale of some non-essential categories (home appliances, kitchen utensils, textile and alcoholic beverages among others); (iv) cancellation of Carnival and related sales dynamics; (v) 41 stores closed during 2020 as part of the portfolio optimization process, with a negative impact of 210 bps on the quarter's performance, and (vi) an unfavorable calendar effect, since 1Q20 had one extra day (February 29, a Saturday nonetheless) compared to 1Q21.

Hypermarkets

Extra Hiper

The hypermarket segment underwent a major transformation in recent years, with adjustments in the store portfolio through conversions and closures, ending 2020 with a 24% share of GPA’s consolidated revenue. In the second half of 2020, GPA developed a model that aims to strengthen its value proposition through (i) competitive prices in mass consumption categories, operating with constantly lower prices and fewer promotions and (ii) exploration of the format’s differential advantages by improving quality and customer service in the perishables areas and specializing the assortment of non-food products.

At the end of 1Q21, 45 of the 103 Extra Hiper stores were already operating under the new concept, and 22 stores were repositioned in the quarter. It is worth noting that the stores repositioned until then recorded a sales performance higher than that of other stores. According to the plan, all the stores in this format will be repositioned by the end of 3Q21. We can also see an increase in the banner’s e-commerce sales, which reached penetration peaks of 5.5%.

Restrictions on store operations had a negative impact on the banner’s performance, as most stores had some kind of restriction, in particular 32 stores with more stringent restrictions, especially in non-essential sectors, including electronics. Excluding the impact of the pandemic, the performance of the banner was almost stable at -0.5% on a same-store sales basis.

Premium Supermarkets

Pão de Açúcar

Pão de Açúcar, GPA’s premium supermarket banner, has been improving over the last three years, in line with changes in customer profile and consumption. The latest store concept, or seventh generation (G7), features a store with a wide assortment of products, ranging from basic to highly sophisticated; health items and unique ready-to-eat and ready-to-go solutions; specialized customer service in the butcher, bakery, rotisserie and wine sections; a more social environment with living and interaction spaces and cafes; and a frictionless shopping experience thanks to digital technology.

Of the 182 Pão de Açúcar stores, distributed in 13 Brazilian states, 46 have already been renovated under the G7 concept. Still in 2021, we will roll out the main successful concepts of the model in the other Pão de Açúcar stores, strengthening the prominence of fresh products. The store opening plan should be resumed in the second half of 2021, with 50 new stores planned for the next three years, 5 of which as early as 4Q21. We also continued to expand new management projects and operational automation, including self-checkout models, reaching 48 stores at the end of 1Q21, with plans to reach a total of 57 stores at the end of 2Q21.

It is also worth noting the important contribution of e-commerce and G7 stores, which continued to outperform the other stores. Pão de Açúcar’s online sales grew 128% - reaching penetration peaks of 15% in the quarter. The recent partnerships should contribute to accelerate the sales of Pão de Açúcar.

The banner’s sales were impacted by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, in particular changes in the habits of increasingly digitalized consumers and the migration of customers from large cities (to the countryside and the seacost region). Excluding the effects of Covid-19, Pão de Açúcar sales grew 4.4%, led by growth in stores located in coastal regions, which posted a substantial increase of approximately 14% in sales.

Mainstream Supermarkets

Compre Bem and Mercado Extra supermarkets performed well in the quarter as a result of the success of the formats’ value proposition with their target audience. Same-store sales increased 7.5%, excluding the Covid impact.

Mercado Extra

The quarter marked the conclusion of the conversion of Extra Super stores into Mercado Extra, which began around three years ago, with the conversion of the 6 last stores (2 of which in April), totaling 147 stores in 6 states. The changes include new layout, product mix and visual identity that have pleased C and D class customers. Service quality and better customer service are also requirements of the Mercado Extra concept, which also has competitive prices and a wide assortment of GPA private label brands, such as Qualitá, Taeq and Nous, representing 25% of Mercado Extra’s sales.

Mercado Extra continues to accelerate the integration of its units into Extra’s food e-commerce operation. The Express model, which ensures deliveries in up to 4 hours after the order confirmation, went from 10 stores in 1Q20 to 57 Mercado Extra stores in 1Q21. In addition, last-mile sales also accelerated significantly.

Compre Bem

Compre Bem is a local supermarket operation launched in 2018, as a result of the conversion of Extra Super stores. The format has important differential advantages in the perishables category, especially in the fruits and vegetables, bakery and butcher sections, with assortment and services appropriate to the needs of consumers in the neighborhoods where the stores are located. The chain has 28 stores, most of which are located in São Paulo state outside the state capital.

In 1Q21, the banner recorded impressive double-digit growth in sales, as a result of the success of the format’s value proposition, despite the strong comparison base (13 stores operating for 2 years and 15 stores operating for 1 year under the new format). In 2021, the banner’s main strategies are i) IT systems and commercial integration and ii) consolidation of the model in all the cities where it operates, as part of an ongoing operational efficiency process.

Proximity

GPA’s Proximity formats continued to record substantial sales growth of 37.9% this quarter, despite the pressure on stores near offices and more stringent circulation restrictions. Excluding the impact of the pandemic, the performance of the banner was 42.0% on a same-store sales basis. As a result, it reached the mark of 11 consecutive quarters of double-digit sales growth.

Minuto Pão de Açúcar and Mini Extra

Minuto Pão de Açúcar is GPA’s premium Proximity format; it offers a unique assortment in an environment that combines practicality, convenience and quality, as well as personalized services and customer service.

GPA intends to resume growth in the Minuto format in the second half of 2021, inaugurating 100 new Minuto units over the next 3 years, approximately 20 of which scheduled for 2021. It is worth noting that the Proximity formats have an exclusive Distribution Center, located in São Paulo, which ensures the necessary agility in product replacement for these formats.

Aliados Mini Mercado Program

The Aliados Mini Mercado program is GPA’s B2B business model to supply neighborhood stores, such as grocery stores and other commerce channels that wish to boost their operations through a partnership with GPA. Focused on São Paulo and served by the Distribution Center of the Proximity formats, optimizing costs and logistics routes, the model recorded substantial year-on-year growth of 2.7x, reaching around 1,200 partners in 1Q21 (+37.5% over 1Q20).

The Company also innovated in omnichannel proposals, such as the Click/Call & Collect service and last-mile delivery in the three low-cost banners, Super Inter, Surtimax and Surtimayorista.

The Éxito and Carulla apps complement other initiatives integrated into the Company’s business ecosystem, such as the Puntos Colombia loyalty program, Tuya Pay and the sale of insurance policies.

Both apps exceeded 1.3 million active downloads in 1Q21 (+28.7%), 1.5 million tickets and 1.0 million discounts were activated in “My Discount” functionality. The “Misurtii” app also contributed to digitalizing food sales, especially in the “mom & pop” category.

(1) Includes the Surtimayorista, VIVA, Aliados and Other Businesses formats.

(2) Same-store sales performance:

- Considers growth at a constant exchange rate; and

- In order to reflect the calendar effect, we added 30 bps at Grupo Éxito (10 bps in Colombia, 80 bps in Uruguay and 110 bps in Argentina)

Grupo Éxito's total sales totaled R$ 6.6 billion in the quarter, an increase of 14.4%. This growth includes a positive exchange rate impact, reflecting the appreciation of the Colombian peso in relation to the real. At constant exchange rates, Grupo Éxito's total sales decreased by 2.6%, which can be attributed mainly to the strong comparison base of 1Q20, when sales were driven by the stocking movement of consumers in the three countries where Grupo Éxito operates, started in the second half of March, in addition to greater restrictions to combat Covid-19, including the temporary closure of stores in the quarter. In the 'same stores' concept, the Grupo Éxito presented a drop of 2.7%. However, excluding Covid's impact, 'same store' sales grew by 4.5% in the quarter. Compared to 1Q19, when the pandemic did not exist, ‘same store’ sales excluding gas station grew by 9.0%.

Colombia

Éxito

The Éxito banner comprises hypermarkets, supermarkets and express stores, mostly located in large urban areas in Colombia. These stores provide a broad range of products, including food and non-food categories, and are set up like department stores.

Éxito Wow is an innovative model that allows digitally connected hypermarkets to integrate digital channels and brick-and-mortar services provided by Éxito with other services, including banking services, co-working areas, gourmet food courts, omnichannel areas, among others. This model was rolled out to 11 stores, which accounted for 23% of total sales and grew 900 bps faster than the other stores.

The 1Q21 performance was impacted by an increase in store closures, mobility restrictions and lockdowns in the quarter in the main cities, in addition to a strong comparison base in 1Q20, as consumers were stocking up on supplies at the beginning of the pandemic, in mid-March. However, these impacts were partially offset by the Éxito Wow performance, growth of non-food category and “Éxito’s Anniversary” event.

Carulla

Carulla is a premium banner that comprises supermarkets and express stores, mostly located in the major cities in Colombia.

Carulla FreshMarket is an innovative model designed to strengthen the fresh products category, focusing on quality, as well as renovating the store layout. This model includes digital initiatives, such as apps, improved customer service experience and a greater supply of key items, such as wine, pasta, cheese and coffee, mainly.

The 1Q21 performance was impacted by more stringent restrictions in the main stores of the banner, in Bogotá and Medellín, which offset (i) the strong contribution of omnichannel sales and (ii) the performance of the 14 Carulla FreshMarket stores, whose sales grew at a pace 750 bps faster than the other stores and accounted for approximately 31.6% of Carulla banner’s total sales in 1Q21.

Low Cost and other businesses

In 1Q21, performance was impacted by (i) lockdowns in the hotel sector and significant store closures in the main markets of the banners, especially in January, due to the pandemic, (ii) the strong comparison base in 1Q20 as consumers were stocking up on supplies due to Covid-19 as of mid-March 2020, as well as the sale of properties, and (iii) store base optimization with some closures and remodeling.

Surtimax and Super Inter: low-cost supermarkets, providing a full supply of basic-need items, high-quality meat, fresh fruit and vegetables, and a broad range of bulk grains at low prices. These stores have a regional approach, providing products in accordance with the local consumer needs.

Surtimayorista: the banner that has been operating in the cash-and-carry segment in Colombia for more than three years, focusing on selling products to both retail and institutional consumers, such as food retailers (including restaurants, pizza parlors and diners), conventional retailers (such as grocery stores and local supermarkets) and end customers (including schools, small businesses, churches and hospitals). It provides more than 2,100 grocery items, perishable foods, beverages, packaging, personal care and cleaning products, and others. The banner comprises 34 stores and has been increasing its portfolio by both opening new stores and converting Surtimax and Super Inter low-cost format stores.

Other businesses: Grupo Éxito’s purpose is to play a leading role by fostering innovation and integrating businesses into a comprehensive ecosystem, including (i) services; (ii) complementary businesses, such as real estate, credit card, travel services, insurance, mobile and money transfer; and (iii) royalties, financial services, marketing and others.

Uruguay

Sales performance in the country was strongly affected by the strong comparison base in 1Q20, as consumers were stocking up on supplies due to Covid-19, the closure of borders during the holiday period and a decline in traffic in the main cities. The positive highlights were the solid growth in omnichannel sales (1.3x vs. 2020), with a higher share of sales compared to 2020, and growth in non-food sales.

Argentina

Amid the country’s difficult scenario, Libertad sales were negatively influenced by (i) a strong comparison base in 1Q20, mobility restrictions and curfews, (ii) expansion of the policy of restricting price increases, and (iii) import restrictions. The Libertad banner reduced its promotional activities to protect cash in a challenging competitive market.

(2) Earnings before Interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted for Other Operating Revenue (Expenses).

GPA Brazil’s Gross Profit totaled R$1.7 billion, and gross margin was 25.8% (up 70 bps over 1Q20), chiefly due to more efficient commercial dynamics and the optimization of logistics costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses totaled R$1.2 billion, representing 18.3% of net revenue, down significant 50 bps, as a result of the Company’s ongoing expense control, driven by an improvement in operational productivity in stores and distribution centers and the optimization of marketing expenses.

Equity income totaled R$15 million, reflecting the Company’s 18% interest held in FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD). The year-on-year decrease is due to the transfer of 50% of the Company’s interest to Sendas, as a result of a spin-off (in 1Q20, the Company held a 36% interest).

As a result of these impacts, GPA Brazil’s Adjusted EBITDA reached R$538 million, up 10.9% over 1Q20, and EBITDA margin increased 100 bps to 8.2%. This reinforces the importance of the portfolio transformation, the evolution of the digital initiatives and strict control of expenses.

Financial expenses (including cost of receivables discount) reached R$148 million in 1Q21 (compared to R$166 million in 1Q20), mainly as a result of a decrease in the cost of debt and discount of receivables, due to lower interest rates.

ESG

Agenda for society and the environment

GPA Brazil has made a commitment to being a mobilizing agent in the construction of a new social, environmental and governance agenda for a more inclusive and sustainable society. This objective is intrinsic and interconnected to its business model.

Based on drivers such as (i) our stakeholders’ material social and environmental issues, (ii) Casino Group's global guidelines and commitments and (iii) the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we have prioritized and designed our sustainability strategy, which is based on minimizing social and environmental risks and creating value for our stakeholders based on the following cornerstones:

Promotion of diversity and inclusion (SDGs 1, 5, 8 and 10);

Social impact and promotion of opportunities (SDGs 1, 2, 4, 8, 10 and 17);

Fight against climate change (SDGs 2, 7, 12, 13 and 17);

Value chains committed to the environment, people and animal welfare (SDGs 2, 3, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15 and 17); and

Integrated management and transparency (SDGs 8, 15, 16 and 17).

In order to support these cornerstones, we rely on our top management’s commitment, the engagement of employees and business partners and a consistent governance structure, such as the Sustainability and Diversity Committee, an advisory body to the Board of Directors, to monitor GPA’s sustainability strategy.

Regarding social and environmental initiatives, in the first quarter of 2021, we highlight in GPA Brazil:

Promotion of diversity and inclusion: we seek to develop our business based on relationships that reduce inequalities and generate more inclusive opportunities. From this perspective, one of our priority issues is the pursuit of gender equality in leadership positions. In March 2021, we reached 36.6% of women in management positions and above. We continue our strategy of not only hiring, but also developing and recognizing internal talents, in 2021, for the third consecutive year, we launched the Female Leadership Program, which trained 475 employees in the last two years and this year will reach another 390 women who hold positions from analyst to current manager and another 160 employees who are attending new maintenance training. Another priority issue on the diversity agenda is racial equity. In March 2021, 49% of employees self-declared black, a 200 bps increase over the same period last year, reaching 36% of black people in leadership positions.

Social impact and promotion of opportunities: as the pandemic intensified social and economic challenges, GPA has reinforced and maintained its commitment and solidarity to the vulnerable population. We believe we can and should be part of a mobilization network together with our customers, employees and organized civil society. In 2021, we will continue to donate essential items, such as food, personal hygiene and cleaning products.

Value chains committed to the environment, people and animal welfare: we constantly assess social and environmental risks in the supply chain, both to approve suppliers and product choices, and to encourage innovation and new and more sustainable practices in the production process. We have policies to confront and combat deforestation, including a specific policy for approval of beef purchases, updated in 2020, with approval procedures and criteria for all domestic suppliers in all the Company’s businesses in order to identify the direct origin and ensure compliance with social and environmental criteria. Since the implementation of the policy, 29 suppliers were blocked and all GPA’s current suppliers are authorized to supply the business units only if they are fully applying the policy for all beef lots sent to the Group and if their farms are in compliance with the criteria set out by it. The Social and Environmental Beef Purchasing Policy can be accessed here.

Fight against climate change: as announced at the beginning of the year, we have linked greenhouse gas reduction targets to the variable compensation of our executives, aligning the Company’s leadership with the climate crisis agenda. As a result of our constant efforts to reduce the environmental impacts of our operations, we closed 1Q21 with 325 stores migrated to the free energy market, a 37% increase over the same period last year – this corresponds to 75% of the Company’s energy consumption. We also improved the efficiency of waste management, with a 24% decline in landfill disposal compared to 2020. In addition, we also continue with the strategy to reduce the environmental impact related to waste generation in our operation, closing 1Q21 with a decline of 23% in total waste generation compared to the same period in the previous year.

Integrated Management and Transparency: we highlight the adhesion to two multisectoral groups: to the GTPS (Sustainable Livestock Working Group), which GPA had already been a signatory of and returned as a member at the beginning of this year, and the adhesion in February to the Brazil Clima Coalition, Forests and Agriculture.

Grupo Éxito's operation also has the same drivers for its strategy and, through its own sustainability committee, the strategic sustainability axes have been redefined:

Zero malnutrition: Through the Éxito Foundation, we will contribute to reaching, in 2030, the first generation with zero chronic malnutrition in Colombia. More than 23,371 children benefited in 1Q21, a monthly average 16% higher than the average for the previous year.

Sustainable trade: promoting a value-added relationship with our suppliers and partners, through the promotion of sustainable practices and development support programs.

My planet: focus on reducing, mitigating and offsetting the environmental impacts of the operation and contributing to the environmental awareness of our stakeholders. In this regard, we highlight the commitment and support to our customers for the correct disposal and recycling of post-consumer packaging. In 1Q21 we reached 130 tons of recycled waste, 96% higher than the average collected in 1Q20, practically already reaching the total volume recovered in 2020.

Healthy living: mobilization of customers, employees and suppliers for healthier lifestyles, through a portfolio offering that generates more quality of life and healthy habits.

Our people: Improving the quality of life of our employees by promoting diversity, inclusion and social dialogue.

Integrity: integrating performance, through governance, ethics, transparency and respect for human rights: we stand out in this quarter the review of its consultation about the materiality of social and environmental risks, establishing the following priority strategic themes: 1) Fight against climate change, 2) Support to the local economy and inclusive development, 3) Talent attraction, retention and development, 4) Circular economy, 5) Diversity and inclusion and 6) Protection of biodiversity. It also published its 2020 sustainability report (https://www.grupoexito.we.co/es/informe-sostenibilidad-2020.pdf).

We had no problems in supplying the industries that continued to supply our distribution centers and stores.

• On December 31, 2020, the Company prepared strategic planning for the next three years and carried out the impairment test of its assets, according to the methodology and assumptions described in notes 7.2, 8.1, 15.1, 16.1 and 16.2 of the financial statements of December 31, 2020. There was no change in the scenario and indicators that denote the need to retake the recoverability test, in the interim financial information for the period ended on March 31, 2021;

• We assessed the realization of the balances of accounts receivable from credit card operators, customers, commercial galleries in our stores, real estate rentals and we understand that there is no need, at this moment, to supplement provisions already registered;

• We evaluate qualitative and quantitative aspects of inventories and do not foresee the need for provision for adjustment to realizable value;

• Financial instruments already reflect the market assumptions in their valuation, and there are no additional exposures not considered and / or disclosed in these financial statements. The Company is not exposed to significant financing in US dollars; and

• The Company does not, for the moment, foresee additional needs to obtain financing.

In summary, according to the management's estimates and the monitoring of the impacts of the pandemic, there are no other effects that should be recorded in this quarterly accounting information, nor are there any effects on the operational continuity and / or estimates of the Company that would justify changes or registration provisions, in addition to those already disclosed.

17.2. Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments

According to the Management’s assessment, the most probable scenario is what the market has been estimating through market curves (currency and interest rates) of B3, on the maturity dates of each transaction.

Therefore, in the probable scenario (I), there is no impact on the fair value of financial instruments. For scenarios (II) and (III), for the sensitivity analysis effect, a deterioration of 25% and 50% was taken into account, respectively, on risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments.

For the probable scenario, weighted exchange rate was R$5.86 on the due date, and the weighted interest rate weighted was 5.10% per year.

In case of derivative financial instruments (aiming at hedging the financial debt), changes in scenarios are accompanied by respective hedges, indicating effects are not significant.

The Company disclosed the net exposure of the derivatives financial instruments, corresponding to financial instruments and certain financial instruments in the sensitivity analysis table below, to each of the scenarios mentioned.

			Market projection

The Éxito Group's sensitivity test considers the economic environment in which the company operates. In scenario I, the observable rates are used. In scenario II it is considered on increase of 10% and in scenario III it is a decrease of 10%.

Scenario I: Reference Bank Index in Colombia (IBR) available 1.736%.

Scenario II: 0.1736% increase in IBR and for Libor at 90 days an increase of 0.01111%

17.3. Fair value measurements

The Company discloses the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value of which differ from the carrying amount, in accordance with CPC 46 (“IFRS13”), which refer to the requirements of measurement and disclosure.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables are equivalent to their carrying amounts.

The table below presents the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value of which is disclosed in the financial statements:

	Consolidated
	Carrying amount	Fair value
	03.31.2021	03.31.2021	Level
Financial assets and liabilities
Trade receibles with credit card companies and sales vouchers	95	95	2
Swaps of annual rate between currencies	2	4	2
Swaps of annual rate	14	12	2
Forward between Currencies	2	2	2
Borrowings and financing (FVPL)	(301)	(301)	2
Borrowings and financing and debentures (amortized cost)	(8,437)	(8,396)	2
Disco Group put option (*)	(675)	(675)	3
Total	(9,300)	(9,259)

(*) Non-controlling shareholders of Group Disco del Uruguay S.A. Éxito Group’s subsidiary have a exercisable put option based on a formula that uses data such as net income, EBITDA - earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and net debt, in addition to fixed amounts determined in the contract and the exchange variation applicable for conversion to the functional currency. This put option was presented in acquisition.

There were no changes between the fair value measurements levels in the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Cross-currency and interest rate swaps and borrowings and financing are classified in level 2 since the fair value of such financial instruments was determined based on readily observable market inputs, such as expected interest rate and current and future foreign exchange rate.

Tax

As per prevailing legislation, tax claims are subject to monetary indexation, which refers to an adjustment to the provision for tax risks according to the indexation rates used by each tax jurisdiction. In all cases, both the interest charges and fines, when applicable, were computed and fully provisioned with respect to unpaid amounts.

The main provisioned tax claims are as follows:

ICMS

The Federal Supreme Court ("STF") on October 16, 2014 decided that ICMS taxpayers that trade products included in the “basked of food staples” have no right to fully utilize the ICMS credits. The Company, with the assistance of its legal counsel, decided to record a provision for this matter amounting to R$25 as of March 31, 2021 (R$27 as of December 31, 2020) since this claim was considered a “probable” loss. The amounts accrued represent Management’s best estimate of the probable cash disbursement to settle this claim. On May 9, 2019, the STF upheld the previous understanding and did not comply with the request for modulation of the effects of the decision. However, such a decision did not have a major impact on the Company's financial information, since the amount was already provisioned in its entirety.

Additionally, there are cases assessed by São Paulo State tax authorities related to the refund of ICMS over tax substitution without proper compliance with accessory tax obligations introduced by CAT Administrative Rule 17. Considering recent court decisions the Company accrued R$277 (R$292 in December 31, 2020) representing the estimatio of probable loss evaluated by management based on documentation evidence aspect of the claims.

Other tax

Other tax claims remained, which, according to the analysis of its legal advisors, were provisioned by the Company.

At March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a provision of R$325 (R$303 as of December 31, 2020). Management, with the assistance of its legal counsel, assessed these claims and recorded a provision for losses when reasonably estimable, based on past experiences in relation to the amounts claimed.

20.5.

Civil and others

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to civil lawsuits at several court levels (indemnities and collections, among others) and at different courts. The Company’s management records provisions in amounts considered sufficient to cover unfavorable court decisions, when its legal internal and external counsel considers the loss as probable.

Among these lawsuits, we point out the following:

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various lawsuits requesting the renewal of rental agreements and the review of the current rent paid. The Company recognizes a provision for the difference between the amount originally paid by the stores and the amounts claimed by the adverse party (owner of the property) in the lawsuit, when internal and external legal counsel consider that it is probable that the rent amount will be changed by the Company. As of March 31, 2021, the amount accrued for these lawsuits is R$32 (R$34 as of December 31, 2020), for which there are no escrow deposits.

Deduction of ICMS from the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS

Since the adoption of the non-cumulative regime to calculate PIS and COFINS, the Group has challenged the right to deduct ICMS taxes from the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS. On March 15, 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that ICMS should be excluded from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS, in line with the thesis claimed by the Company.

Since the decision of the Supreme Court on March 15, 2017, the proceedings have been brought forward by our legal advisors without any change in management's judgment, but without the final decision on the appeal filed by the prosecution. The Company and its advisors estimate that the decision on this appeal will not limit the right of the lawsuit filed by the Company. The subsidiaries that had the final and unappealable process recorded in 2019 the amount of R$382, of which R$198 in the financial result.

On October 29, 2020, the Company obtained a favorable decision in its individual lawsuit, resulting in the registration of tax credit in the amount of R$1,609 (of which R$613 in the financial result), net of provisions for installments that, eventually, considered not achievable. The Company made the calculations based on the understanding of its legal advisors. The Company estimates it will be realized the respective tax credit within a period of 5 (five) years.

Likewise, Via Varejo obtained a favorable decision in May 2020, which includes the amount for which GPA is entitled to be reimbursed, pursuant to the association agreement signed between GPA and the Klein family in the transaction that gave rise to Via Varejo. The periods that GPA is entitled to reimbursement refer to the subsidiary Globex (which was incorporated in the formation of Via Varejo) for the years 2003 to 2010. CBD has already recognized in 2020, based on the documentation analyzed and validated until the moment, R$231 of a credit with Via Varejo. The related gain is recognized in the net result of discontinued operations. In addition, the Company estimates that it is entitled to an outstanding amount of R$277, which is subject to certain adjustments and confirmation by Via Varejo.

Arbitration Península

On September 12, 2017, the Company received a notice from the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce regarding a request for arbitration (“Proceeding”) filed by Banco Ourinvest S.A., a financial institution, in its capacity as fund manager and acting in the exclusively interest of the quotaholders of Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário Península ("Península" and the “Procedimento”).

The Proceeding aims to discuss the calculation of the rental fees and other operational matters related to the stores owned by Peninsula, which are under several lease agreements and contracts entered into between the Company and Peninsula during 2005 (the "Agreements"). The Agreements assure to CBD the rent of the stores for a period of twenty (20) years, which may be extended for an additional 20-year term, at CBD’s discretion, and rules the calculation of the rental fees.

The Proceeding refers to certain terms and conditions of the Agreements and does not affect the continuity of the leasing of the stores, which are contractually assured. The amounts on which the Company is exposed can not be determined with reasonable certainty based on the current stage of the arbitral process. Management assessed the arbitration as possible loss, based on the opinion provided by the external legal counsel.

Via Varejo

The Company ceased to exercise control over Via Varejo during the month of June 2019. As of December 31, 2020, certain relationships previously existing between the Company and Via Varejo were in force when it was part of the Group and was a related party, mainly i) Corporate guarantees granted by the Company to guarantee obligations in operational agreements under the responsibility of Via Varejo, with maturities and performance terms to be met by that company over time, in the amount of up to R$2 billion. the Company has already taken steps with Via Varejo so that all guarantees are formally extinguished; and reached an agreement with Via Varejo to replace the most significant guarantees, which are no longer in effect as of the date of this interim financial information ii) Operational agreement on the use of GPA brands by Via Varejo, whose term will expire on October 21iii) equity interests held, respectively, by GPA, Via Varejo and Itaú Unibanco in Financeira Itaú CBD SA Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento (“FIC”), and iv) Maintenance of the reimbursement obligations by the Company on passive and active superveniences arising from taxable events and legal proceedings prior to the acquisition of Globex in 2010, as disclosed in note 20.6, when Globex merged with Casas Bahia in the same year. Said guarantee obligation will continue as long as the processes covered by such guarantee do not end.
