Notes to the Interim Financial Information

As of March 31, 2021

(In millions of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, our stores have remained open during periods of general lockdown, as we are considered an essential service. The Company has a strong commitment to society to continue selling essential products to its customers. We did not face supply-side hurdles from industries that continued supplying our distribution centers and stores.

On March 10, 2020, CVM issued circular letter CVM-SNC/SEP No. 02/2020 and on January 29, 2021 issued circular letter CVM-SNC/SEP No. 01/2021, guiding publicly held Companies to carefully assess the impacts of COVID-19 on their business and report in the interim financial information the main risks and uncertainties as result of such analysis, following the applicable accounting standards.

In this regard, the Company fully analyzed its financial statements, in addition to updating the analyses of going concern. Below are the key topics analyzed:

· The Company reviewed its budget, adopted to estimate the calculation of the recovery of store assets and intangible assets on December 31, 2020, and no significant reductions were seen in revenues, and in other items of the income statement to evidence impairment of these assets. Due to uncertainties concerning the end of the pandemic and its macroeconomic effects, the Company analyzed the indication of impairment for certain assets and, accordingly, updated its impairment tests. There were no new elements in the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that the Company's need to review the asset recovery test;

The recoverable value is determined by calculating the value in use, from cash projections deriving from financial budgets, which were reviewed and approved by senior management for the next three years, considering the assumptions updated for December 31, 2020. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 9.8% on December 31, 2020, and the cash flows to exceed three years are extrapolated, applying a growth rate of 4.6% on December 31, 2020. As a result of this analysis, we did not identify the need for recording a provision for impairment of these assets;

· The Company analyzed the collection of balances of trade receivables from credit card operators, clients, galleries at our stores, property rentals, and concluded that, at this point, it is not necessary to record provisions, in addition to those already recorded;

· Concerning inventories, the Company does not foresee the need to make a market price adjustment;

· Financial instruments already reflect the market assumptions in their valuation, there are no additional exposures not disclosed. The Company is not exposed to significant financing denominated in US dollars;

· At this point, the Company does not foresee additional funding; and

· Finally, the costs necessary to adapt the Company's stores to serve the public were not significant and are highlighted in note 23 - Other operating expenses, net.

In summary, according to Management's estimates and the monitoring of the impacts of the pandemic, there are no effects that should be recorded in the Company's interim financial information, nor are there any effects on the continuity and / or estimates of the Company that would justify changes or recording provisions in addition to those already disclosed. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the impacts and, if necessary, make the necessary disclosures.

9.1 State VAT tax credits - ICMS

Since 2008, the Brazilian States have been substantially amending their local laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax replacement system. The referred system implies the prepayment of ICMS throughout the commercial chain, upon goods outflow from a manufacturer or importer or their inflow into the State. The expansion of such system to a wider range of products traded at retail assumes that the trading cycle of these products will end in the State, such that ICMS is fully owed to such State.

The refund process requires evidence through tax documents and digital files of transactions made, entitling the Company to such a refund. Only after ratification by State tax authorities and/or the compliance with specific ancillary obligations aiming to support such evidence that credits can be used by the Company, which occur in periods after these are generated.

Since the number of items traded at the retail subject to tax replacement has been continuously increasing, the tax credit to be refunded by the Company has also grown. The Company has been realizing referred credits with authorization for immediate offset with those credits due in view of its operations, through the special regime, also other procedures regulated by state rules.

With respect to credits that cannot yet be immediately offset, the Company's Management, based on a technical recovery study, based on the future expectation of growth and consequent compensation with taxes payable arising from its operations, believes that its future compensation is viable. The studies mentioned are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information extracted from the strategic planning previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of March 31, 2021, the Company's management has monitoring controls over adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of the ICMS balance to be recovered, as shown in the table below:

9.2 PIS and COFINS credits

On May 15, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court ('STF') recognized, as a matter of general repercussion, the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation base, pending only the appreciation of the Declaration Embargoes filed by the National Treasury requesting modulating the effects of the decision. In this context, the Company filed a judicial measure, aiming to ensure its right to the recognition and compensation of PIS and COFINS credits improperly collected. A final, unappealable decision in the Company's favor was rendered in September 2019. With the favorable outcome of the matter, the Company recorded the credit in the accounts, which is subject to reliable measurement. This credit was enabled by the Federal Revenue of Brazil and is being monetized under the terms of the applicable legislation.

Currently, the Company, based on the favorable judgment of the STF, has been recognizing the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis based on the same assumptions mentioned above. The evidence that leads the Company to conclude on the right to credit for PIS and COFINS includes: i) interpretation of tax legislation; ii) internal and external factors as legal and market interpretations; and iii) accounting evaluation about the matter.

9.3 Incidence of social security contributions

On August 28, 2020, the STF, in general repercussion, recognized as constitutional the incidence of social security contributions (INSS) on the additional one-third of vacation payment. The Company has been monitoring the progress of these issues involving unconstitutionality in social security contributions, and together with its legal advisors, concluded that the elements to date do not impact the recoverability of the respective INSS credits recorded in the amount of R$11 on March 31, 2021 (R$11 on December 31, 2020).

15.1 Considerations on risk factors that may affect the Company's business
15.1.1 Credit Risk

·Cash and cash equivalents

In order to minimize credit risks, the Company adopts investments policies at financial institutions approved by the Company's Financial Committee, also taking into consideration monetary limits and financial institution evaluations, which are regularly updated.

·Trade receivables

Credit risk related to trade receivables is minimized by the fact that a large portion of sales are paid with credit cards, and the Company sells these receivables to banks and credit card companies, aiming to strengthen working capital. The sales of receivables result in derecognition of the accounts receivable due to the transfer of the credit risk, benefits and control of such assets. Additionally, regarding the trade receivables collected in installments, the Company monitor the risk through the credit concession and by periodic analysis of the provision for losses.

The Company also has counterparty risk related to derivative instruments, which is mitigated by the Company carrying out transactions, according to policies approved by governance boards.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

As of March 31, 2021

(In millions of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

There are no amounts receivable or sales that are individually, higher than 5% of trade receivables or sales, respectively.

15.1.2 Interest rate risk

The Company obtains borrowings and financing with major financial institutions for cash needs for investments. As a result, the Company is mainly exposed to relevant interest rates fluctuation risk, especially in view of derivatives liabilities (foreign currency exposure hedge) and CDI Indexed debts. The balance of cash and cash equivalents, indexed to CDI, partially offsets the interest rate risk.

15.1.3 Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase outstanding balances of foreign currency-denominated borrowings. The Company uses derivatives, such as swaps, aiming to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate risk, converting the cost of debt into domestic currency and interest rates.

15.1.4 Capital risk management

The main objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains its credit rating and a well-balanced equity ratio, in order to support businesses and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts taking into account changes in the economic conditions.

The capital structure is thus demonstrated:

3/31/2021 12/31/2020

Borrowings, financing and debentures (7,572) (7,831)

15.1.5 Liquidity risk management

The Company manages liquidity risk through the daily analysis of cash flows and maturities of financial assets and liabilities.

The table below summarizes the aging profile of the Company's financial liabilities as of March 31, 2021.

The table above was prepared considering the undiscounted cash flows of financial assets and liabilities based on the earliest date the Company may be required to make a payment or be eligible to receive a payment. To the extent that interest rates are floating, the non-discounted amount is obtained based on interest rate curves for the period ended on March 31, 2020. Therefore, certain balances are not consistent with the balances reported in the balance sheet.

Assets are recorded as 'financial instruments' and liabilities as 'borrowings and financing'.

The effects of the fair value hedge recorded in the statement of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, resulted in a loss of R$10, recorded under debt of cost, note 24 (gain of R$108 as of March 31, 2020).

15.2.1 Fair values of derivative financial instruments

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

Fair values are calculated using projected the future cash flow, using the CDI curves and discounting to present value, using CDI market rates for swap both disclosed by the B3.

The fair value of exchange coupon swaps versus CDI rate was determined based on market exchange rates effective at the date of the financial statements and projected based on the currency coupon curves.

In order to calculate the coupon of foreign currency indexed-positions, the straight-line convention - 360 consecutive days was adopted and to calculate the coupon of CDI indexed-positions, the exponential convention - 252 business days was adopted.

15.3 Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments

According to Management's assessment, the most probable scenario is what the market has been estimating through market curves (currency and interest rates) of the 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 exclusive effect, a deterioration from 25% to 50% was taken into account, respectively, on risk variables, up to one year of financial instruments.

For a probable scenario, the weighted exchange rate was R$5.64 on the due date, and the interest rate weighted was 1.96% per year.

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

The Company disclosed the net exposure of derivative financial instruments, each of the scenarios mentioned above in the sensitivity analysis as follows:

Market projections

15.4 Fair values measurement

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 CPC46 / IFRS13, which refer to the requirements of measurement and disclosure. The fair value hierarchy levels are defined below:

Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts.

The table below sets forth the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, for which the fair value has been disclosed in the interim financial information:

Carrying amount Fair value
3/31/2021 31/12/2020 31/03/2021 31/12/2020 Level
Trade receivables with credit cards companies and sales vouchers 134 99 134 99 2

15.11 Guarantees

The company signed promissory notes for certain borrowings agreements.

15.12 Swap contracts

The Company uses swap operations for 100% of its borrowings denominated in US dollars and fixed interest rates, exchanging these liabilities for Real linked to CDI (floating) interest rates. These agreements have the same debt term and protect the interest rates and principal and are signed with the same due dates and in the same economic group. The annual weighted average rate on March 31, 2021 was 2.02% of CDI (2.76% on December 31, 2020).

15.13 Financial covenants

In connection with the debentures and promissory notes issued and part of loan operations denominated in foreign currencies, the Company is required to maintain certain financial ratios. These ratios are calculated quarterly based on the Company's consolidated financial statements drawn up in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, as follows: (i) consolidated net debt / equity less than or equal to 5.0 not exceeding equity; and (ii) consolidated net debt/EBITDA ratio should be lower than or equal to 3.25.

Also, the instrument of the 1st issuance of the Company's debentures provides for a restrictive covenant that determines limits for distribution of dividends above the legal minimum and higher indebtedness for the acquisition of other entities.

On March 31, 2021, the Company was compliant with those ratios. In addition, the Company has been complying with all restrictive covenants, and, over the last three years ended on December 31, 2020, no event occurred that would require the Company to accelerate the payment of its debts.

15.14 Cash flow hedge

The Company used NDF - Non-Deliverable Forward agreements to hedge against COP/BRL exchange rate variation due to the corporate restructuring in Latin America. The NDFs agreements were designated for cash flow hedge and already concluded on December 31, 2020. The effect of this transaction is in the consideration paid in the Éxito acquisition.

16 Provision for legal proceedings

The provision for legal proceedings is estimated by the Company and it is corroborated by its legal advisors, and such provision is recorded in sufficient amount to settle losses assessed and classified as probable.

16.2 Social security and labor

The Company is a party to various labor proceedings, especially due to dismissals in the regular course of business. On March 31, 2021, the Company recorded a provision of R$70 (R$64 on December 31, 2020), referring to a potential risk of loss relating to labor claims. Management, with the assistance of its legal counsels, assesses these claims and recording provisions for losses when reasonably estimated, considering previous experiences in relation to amounts claimed.

16.3 Civil

The Company is party to civil proceedings (indemnifications, collections, among others) at in different procedural phases and various central courts. Management records provisions in amounts considered sufficient to cover unfavorable court decisions when its internal and external legal counsel assess the losses to be probable.

Among these proceedings, we highlight the following:

The Company is party to various lawsuits requesting the renewal of rental agreements and the review of the current rent paid. The Company records a provision for the difference between the amount originally paid by stores and the amounts claimed by the adverse party in the lawsuit when internal and external legal counsels consider the probability of changing the lease amount paid by the entity. On March 31, 2021, the provision for these lawsuits amounted to R$8 (R$23 on December 31, 2020), for which there are no judicial deposits for legal proceedings.

The Company is party to certain lawsuits relating to the fines applied by inspection bodies of direct and indirect administration of the federal government, states, and municipalities, including consumer defense bodies (PROCONs, INMETRO, and local governments). The Company, assisted by its legal counsel, assesses these claims recording provisions for probable cash disbursements, according to the probability of loss. On March 31, 2021, the provision for these lawsuits is R$5 (R$5 on December 31, 2020).

The Company's total civil and regulatory claims on March 31, 2021, is R$51 (R$49 on December 31, 2020).

16.4 Possible contingent liabilities

The Company is party to other litigations for which the probability of loss was deemed by its legal counsel to be possible, but not probable, therefore, not accrued, totaling an updated amount of R$2,401 on March 31, 2021 (R$2,408 on December 31, 2020). Accordingly, no provisions were recorded in connection with these proceedings, which are mainly related to:

IRPJ (corporate income tax), IRRF (withholding income tax), CSLL (social contribution on net income) - The Company received several tax assessment notices relating to tax offsetting proceedings, goodwill disallowance, disagreements regarding payments and overpayments, fines due to non-compliance with ancillary obligation, among other less relevant issues. The amount involved corresponds to R$467 on March 31, 2021 (R$466 on December 31, 2020).

COFINS, PIS (federal taxes on gross revenues) - The Company has been questioned about discrepancies in payments and overpayments; fine due to non-compliance with ancillary obligation, disallowance of COFINS and PIS credits, among other issues. These proceedings are pending judgment at the administrative and judicial levels. The amount involved in these tax assessments is R$626 as of March 31, 2021 (R$632 on December 31, 2020). Regarding the IPI assessments, there was a judgment in August 2020 in the STF that decided against taxpayers. However, in the analysis of the specific cases by our legal advisors, we consider that the risk of loss remained as possible.

ICMS (State VAT) - The Company received tax assessment notices from State tax authorities in connection with credits from purchases from suppliers' acquisitions considered unqualified by the registry of the State Revenue Service, among others matters. These tax assessments amount to R$1,218 on March 31, 2021 (R$1,235 on December 31, 2020). These proceedings are pending final judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.

On August 28, 2020, the STF, in general repercussion, recognized the incidence of social security contributions on the constitutional third of vacations as constitutional. The Company has been monitoring the development of these issues, and together with its legal advisors, concluded that the elements so far do not require a provision to be made.

Other litigation- These proceedings refer to real estate lawsuits in which the Company claims the renewal of lease agreements and rents according to market prices.
