2. Basis of preparation and presentation of quarterly information

 

a) Quarterly Information

The individual (parent company) and consolidated quarterly information were prepared and are presented according to the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), the provisions of the Brazilian Corporation Law (Law 6,404/76), including provisions amended by Laws 11,638/07 and 11,941/09, as well as pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Brazilian Committee on Accounting Pronouncements (CPC). This quarterly information was approved at the board of executive officers meeting held at May 7, 2010.

During 2009, the Brazilian Committee on Accounting Pronouncements (CPC) issued and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) approved several Technical Pronouncements, Interpretations and Guidelines whose effectiveness is only mandatory for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, requiring that the Company present again the financial statements of the comparative year.

The Company decided not to exercise its eligibility concerning the quarterly information of March 31, 2010, and at its best judgment, the Company below shows a brief description of the eventual material changes to the accounting practices previously adopted for the quarterly information of March 31, 2010 and comparative period.

- CPC 15 – Business Combination, approved by CVM Deliberation 580/09 of July 31, 2009: It mainly establishes the buyer’s principles and requirements in a business combination. The Company expects that the figures referring to the acquisition of Globex Utilidades S.A. will change when applying this Pronouncement retrospectively to January 1, 2009, due to the new measurement of goodwill by the expectation of future profitability, resulting from the measurement of Globex’s net assets by the fair value of assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and obligations assumed.

- CPC 22 – Information by Segment, approved by CVM Deliberation 582 of July 31, 2009: It sets forth that reporting shall be divided by the Company’s operating segment. “Operating segment” is defined as an entity’s component: (a) that develops business activities generating revenues and incurring in expenses; (b) whose operational results are regularly reviewed by the top manager of the Company’s operations in the decision-making process; and (c) to which the financial information is available.

The Company’s Management will analyze additional reporting in its financial statements resulting from the data and indicators of assets, liabilities and results identifiable for each one of its operating segments.

- CPC 24 – Subsequent Event, approved by CVM Deliberation 593 of September 15, 2009: The main impact for applying this rule refers to the recording of dividends. According to CPC 24 at the end of the fiscal year, the Company shall recognize as liability only the mandatory minimum dividend established in its Bylaws. Additional minimum dividends will be recorded as liability as these are approved by the Company’s appropriate bodies.

24


2. Basis of preparation and presentation of quarterly information (Continued)

- CPC 26 – Presentation of the Financial Statements, approved by CVM Deliberation 595, of September 15, 2009: It sets forth the basis for presenting the financial statements, by determining the presentation overall requirements, structuring guidelines and the minimum content to be included in the financial statements. Two new requirements were added in relation to the previous practice; i) comprehensive statement of income; ii) presentation of three balance sheets in the situations in which the Company applies an accounting policy retroactively or presents again items in its financial statements.

- CPC 27 – Fixed Assets, approved by CVM Deliberation 583 of July 31, 2009: The Company understands that this rule may cause eventual effects on its financial statements, mainly due to said CPC that requires deducting the estimated residual value from fixed assets in order to calculate depreciation. Currently, the Company depreciates assets by their whole formation cost, not deducting the estimated residual value. The Company is assessing the useful life taking into account the residual value of its assets and will apply this change of depreciation rate retrospectively as of January 1, 2010, in compliance with IPCP 10.

CPC 38, 39 and 40 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, Presentation, Reporting, approved by CVM Deliberation 604 of November 19, 2009:

- CPC 38 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement: It rules the recognition and measurement of financial instruments operations – including derivatives. It shall be applied to all companies and all types of financial instruments, aside from specific exceptions. A financial instrument is any agreement originating a financial asset for an entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another.

CPC 39 – Financial Instruments: Presentation – it aims at establishing the principles for presenting the financial instruments as liability or shareholders’ equity and offsetting the financial assets and liabilities. It applies to the classification of financial instruments, under the issuer’s viewpoint, into financial assets, financial liabilities and equity instruments; the classification of corresponding interest, dividends, gains and losses; the circumstance in which the financial assets and liabilities shall be offset.

CPC 40 – Financial Instruments: Reporting – It introduces the need of detailed reporting on financial statements for the Company’s equity and financial situation and its performance.

3. Summary of main accounting practices

Accounting estimates to measure and recognize certain assets and liabilities are used in the preparation of the quarterly information of the Company and its subsidiaries. The determination of these estimates took into account experiences of past and current events and other objective and subjective factors. Complying with such, this quarterly information include estimates related to the selection of useful lives of fixed and intangible assets; the allowance for doubtful accounts; allowance for inventory losses; allowance for investments losses; the recoverability of fixed and intangible assets; the realization expectation of deferred income and social contribution taxes; fees and terms used when determining the present value adjustment of certain assets and liabilities and the provision for litigations; the benefit value granted through stock options and fair value of financial instruments; the reporting estimates for the sensitivity analysis chart of

3. Summary of main accounting practices (Continued)

derivative financial instruments pursuant to CVM Ruling 475/08. The estimates used in this quarterly information may present variations compared to the actual values upon the realization and/or settlement of operations in which they are involved. The Company reviews its estimates and assumptions, at least, quarterly.

Significant accounting practices and consolidation criteria adopted by the Company are shown below:

a) Determination of income

Sales revenues are stated at their gross amounts. Taxes and discounts on sales revenues are presented as reducing accounts. The result of operations is determined according to the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues from sale of products are recognized upon the transfer of the product, with all risks and benefits to the purchaser. The freight value is included in the cost of goods sold. Interest income and expenses are recognized by the effective interest rate method under financial revenues/expenses.

The recording of present value adjustment expense, incurring on installment sales, has as corresponding credit the item “trade accounts receivable” and its reversals are recorded in a separate item, called “reversal of present value adjustment from sale of goods”.

b) Translation of foreign currency-denominated balances

(i) Functional and presentation currency of the quarterly information

The Company’s functional currency is the Brazilian Real. The quarterly information of each subsidiary, consolidated by Company, as well as those used as basis for investments valuation by the equity accounting method are prepared based on the functional currency of each entity.

(ii) Foreign currency-denominated transactions

Monetary assets and liabilities indexed in foreign currency were translated into reais using the exchange rate effective on respective closing balance sheet date. The differences resulting from the currency translation are recorded as financial revenues or expenses in income.

c) Financial instruments

The financial assets and liabilities held by the Company and its subsidiaries are recognized by their fair value upon their contracting, plus transaction costs directly related to their acquisition or issue. Financial instruments are classified according to the purpose to which they were acquired or issued under the following categories: (i) financial assets and liabilities measured at the fair value through income; and (ii) financial assets and liabilities held to maturity. Their subsequent measurement occurs every balance sheet date according to the rules established for each type of classification of financial assets and liabilities.

3. Summary of main accounting practices (Continued)

c) Financial instruments (Continued)

 

•     

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income: these comprise financial investments, financial liabilities generally traded before maturity and derivatives, except for those designated as hedge instruments. They are periodically measured at their fair value, and interest rates, monetary restatement, exchange variation and gains or losses deriving from fair value variations are recorded in income under “Financial Revenues” or “Financial Expenses”.

•     

Financial assets and liabilities held to maturity: financial assets and liabilities, non- derivatives, with fixed or determinate payments and scheduled maturities. These are measured by the amortized cost through the effective interest rate method.

Interest rates, monetary restatement, foreign exchange variation, less eventual impairment are recognized in income under “Financial Revenues” or “Financial Expenses”.

•     

Derivative financial instruments: derivative financial instruments that will hedge or change the characteristics of financial assets or liabilities, derecognized firm commitments and highly probable transactions. These are measured at their fair market value and variations are recorded against income, and corresponding entry to the appropriate financial revenue or expense account, except for derivatives destined for hedge operations.

•     

Available-for-sale financial instruments: non-derivative financial assets available for sale or not classified as granted loans or accounts receivable. These are valued by their fair value, however, with adjustment recorded in a separate item of the shareholders' equity.

If there is no market, then the fair value is determined through valuation techniques and compatible with usual practices on the market including the use of recent market arm’s length transactions, benchmark to the market value of similar financial instruments, analysis of discounted cash flows or other valuation models.

•     

Hedge operations: derivative financial instruments used to hedge risk exposures or to modify the characteristics of financial assets and liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments and highly probable transactions, and which: (i) are highly correlated concerning changes in their market value in relation to the market value of item that has been hedged, both at the beginning and over the life of agreement (effectiveness between 80% and 125%); (ii) have the operation documented, risk purpose of hedge, risk management process and methodology used in the effectiveness evaluation; and (iii) considered effective to reduce the risk associated with exposure to be hedged, are classified and recorded as hedge operations according to their nature.

•     

Fair value hedge: the derivative financial instruments destined to offset risks deriving from the exposure to variation in fair value of item purpose of hedge should be classified.

27


3. Summary of main accounting practices (Continued)


d) Cash and cash equivalents

These include cash, positive balances in checking account and marketable securities redeemable within up to 90 days. Marketable securities included in cash and cash equivalents are classified into the “financial assets calculated at fair value through income” category.

e) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated considering the estimated realizable values. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in an amount considered by Management to be sufficient to meet probable losses in the realization of such receivables, considering the historic average of losses.

The Company’s installment sales occur with the intermediation of FIC, whose receivables do not remain in the Company (Note 10 b (vi)).

The Company carries out securitization operations of the accounts receivable through PAFIDC (Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios) – (Note 5 (f) and Note 8).

Accounts receivable from commercial agreements result from bonuses and discounts granted by suppliers, established by agreements and calculated over purchase volume, marketing initiatives, freight cost reimbursement, etc.

f) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the average acquisition cost or market value, whichever is shorter, adjusted by provision for inventory bonuses for losses and breakage, which are periodically reviewed and evaluated as to their sufficiency. Warehousing and handling costs are appropriated according to inventory turnover and the portion not absorbed is stated at the inventories value. Provisions are recorded based on historical data of the Company.

g) Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the equity method, and provision for capital deficiency has been recorded, when applicable. Other investments are recorded at acquisition cost.

h) Property and equipment

These assets are recorded at acquisition or construction cost (monetarily restated until December 31, 1995) deducted from the related accumulated depreciation, calculated on a straight-line basis at the rates mentioned in Note 11. In leasehold improvements, amortization is calculated considering the shortest term between the term of the lease agreement or assets useful life is utilized.

28


3. Summary of main accounting practices (Continued)


h) Property and equipment (Continued)

The Company adopts procedures aiming at ensuring that assets are not recorded by a value higher than the one that can be recoverable for use or sale, pursuant to CPC 01 rules.

Interest and financial charges on loans and financing contracted by third parties directly or indirectly attributable to the process of purchase, construction and/or operating expansion, are capitalized during the construction and refurbishment of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ stores in conformity with CVM Deliberation 193. The capitalized interest and financial charges are appropriated to income over the depreciation periods of the corresponding assets.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are recorded as expenses when they do not significantly affect the useful lives of related assets; or they do not aggregate to the value of assets when they materially contribute to the increase of useful lives of existing facilities and equipment.

i) Leasing

Financial leasing agreements are recorded in property and equipment, in contra account to liabilities from loans and financing, by the lower amount between the present value of mandatory minimum installments of the agreement or the fair value of asset, accrued, where applicable of initial direct costs incurred on transaction. Implied interest rates on recognized liabilities of loans and financing are appropriated to income for the year according to the duration of the agreement by the effective interest rate method.

Operating leasing agreements are recognized as expense based on the determination period of the benefit over leased asset by the Company, regardless of the basis used to determine leasing payments.

The depreciation of capitalized assets is calculated according to their useful life, in the event there is the intention to acquire such asset. If the Company does not intend to acquire the asset, the depreciation is calculated considering the least term between the effectiveness of the agreement or the assets’ useful life.

j) Intangible assets

Goodwill calculated in the acquisition of investments occurred until December 31, 2008, having future profitability as economic fundamental, was amortized on a straight-line basis for a term of 5 to 10 years until that date. As of January 1, 2009 goodwill balances are submitted to an annual test for impairment analysis, as set forth by CPC 01.

Intangible assets with defined useful life term are amortized according to such term and, when assessed any impairment signs are identified, these are submitted to impairment tests. Intangible assets with indeterminate useful life are not amortized, they are submitted to annual test for impairment analysis.

29


3. Summary of main accounting practices (Continued)


k) Provision for recovery of assets

The Management yearly reviews the net book value of assets with a view to identifying events or changes in economic, operating or technological circumstances that may indicate deterioration, obsolescence or impairment. When this evidence is identified and the net book value exceeds the recoverable value, a provision is recorded for impairment by adjusting the net book value to the recoverable value. These losses are classified as other operating expenses.

l) Other assets and liabilities

A liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the Company and its subsidiaries have a legal liability as a result of a past event and it is probable that an economic resource will be required to settle this liability. Provisions are recorded based on the best estimates of risks involved.

An asset is recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that its future economic benefits benefit the Company and its cost or value can be safely measured. Assets and liabilities are classified as current when their realization or settlement is probable to occur over the next 12 months, otherwise, these are stated as noncurrent.

m) Taxation

Revenues from sales of goods and rendering of services are subject to taxation by State Value-Added Tax (“ICMS”), Services Tax (“ISS”), Social Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Integration Program (“PIS”) and Social Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Security Financing (“COFINS”) at rates prevailing in each region, and its respective value deducted from the total revenues from sales for purposes determining income.

The credits derived from non-cumulative PIS and COFINS are deducted from cost of goods sold in the statement of income for the year.

PIS and COFINS refer to the financial revenues and expenses recorded in the corresponding items.

The advances or amounts subject to offsetting are shown in the current and noncurrent assets, in accordance with the estimate for their realization.

Income and social contribution taxes are calculated according to the taxable income based on accounting records and are classified as current or deferred, as follows:

Current – Income and social contribution taxes in Brazil, when opted for the taxable income regime, are calculated at the (i) 25% taxable income (15% increased by 10% surcharge on taxable income exceeding R$240) for income tax, and (ii) 9% on taxable income for social contribution. Brazilian tax laws in force allows to carry forward tax losses referring to previous years with current tax income, limited to 30% of the taxable income of each year.

30


3. Summary of main accounting practices (Continued)

m) Taxation (Continued)

Deferred – Deferred income and social contribution taxes are calculated based on tax losses and negative basis of social contribution, as well as temporary differences mainly composed of provisions related to the recording of litigations that are deductible for calculation purposes of taxable income and calculation basis of social contribution only on the date of its financial realization.

Deferred income and social contribution tax assets were recorded pursuant to CVM Ruling 371/02 and take into account the expectation of generating future taxable income, based on a technical feasibility study approved by the Board of Directors.

n) Share-based compensation

Part of the compensation of the Company’s main executives and managers is paid as stock option plan, measured by their fair value, calculated on the plan granting date, based on the market’s pricing models, considering the share market value, the stock option exercise price and term of the agreement. Compensation costs linked to these programs are recorded on a straight-line basis in income, under operating expenses, during the period the services were rendered by beneficiaries against the capital reserve.

o) Present value adjustment of assets and liabilities

Noncurrent monetary assets and liabilities and current assets and liabilities, when relevant, are adjusted to their present value. The present value adjustment is calculated taking into account contractual cash flows and the respective explicit or implied interest rates.

Embedded interest rates on revenues, expenses and costs associated with said assets and liabilities are adjusted to the appropriate recognition in conformity with the accrual basis of accounting. The present value adjustment is recorded in those items, subject to the application of rule and “financial result” as corresponding entry.

“Additions” comprise the amounts incurred with the acquisition of operating assets, land and buildings to expand activities, construction of new stores, modernization of existing warehouses and improvements of stores and investment in equipment and information technology.

According to CPC 01, the items of property and equipment showing signs that its costs registered are higher than its recovery values are reviewed in detail and periodically to determine the need of provision to reduce the book balance to its realization value. The Management neither identifies any changes in the circumstances or signs of technological obsolescence nor any evidence that its tangible assets used in its operations are not recoverable, concluding that no provision for assets losses is required.

For consolidation purposes, upon the merger of subsidiaries, the amounts originally recorded under investments, including goodwill based on expected future profitability, were recorded in the intangible assets. Goodwill balances verified in the acquisitions of equity interests are supported by technical reports on the expected future profitability of the companies and were amortized until December 31, 2008 according to the terms and extensions estimated in said reports, limited to 10 years.

Goodwill balances are no longer amortized on an accounting basis since January 1, 2009, only subject to the impairment test pursuant to CPC 01. According to the Company’s assessments on December 31, 2009 and considering future results projections, the Management concluded that no provision for assets losses is required.

The increase of R$19,906 in the goodwill balance refers to the acquisition of 4,102,220 common shares representing approximately 3.3% of Globex’ capital stock, due to the OPA (public tender offer) auction held on February 3, 2010.

In the merger of subsidiaries and for consolidation purposes, the amounts originally recorded under investments, such as, goodwill, mainly, expectation of future profitability were transferred to the intangible assets and were amortized until December 31, 2008 within the terms and extensions of profitability projections which determine them, limited by a 10-year term.

The Company valued the recovery of goodwill book value based on its usage value, using the cash generating units discounted cash flow method, which represent the set of tangible and intangible assets employed in the operation. The process to estimate the usage value involves the utilization of assumptions, judgments and estimates on future cash flows, growth and discount rates. The future cash flow assumptions and growth projections are based on the Company’s annual budget and long-term business plan, approved by the Board of Directors, as well as comparable market data and they represent the best Management’s estimate on the economic conditions to prevail during the economic useful life of cash flow generating assets.

The key assumptions used when estimating the usage value to which the assets recovery value is more sensitive are as follows:

49



12. Intangible Assets (Continued)

Revenues– Revenues were projected based on the Company’s annual budget for the following year and business plan comprising the period between 2010 and 2014;

Operating costs and expenses – Costs and expenses were projected based on the Company’s historical performance and its growth was projected in line with sales growth, taking into account its relationship;

Capital Investments – these were estimated taking into account the infrastructure necessary to support sales growth.

The key assumptions were estimated taking into account the Company’s historical performance and based on reasonable macroeconomic assumptions and compatible with external sources of information based on the financial market projections, documented and approved by the Company’s Management bodies.

Consistently with the economic valuation techniques, the usage value valuation is made for a 5-year period. Revenue growth rates used are compatible with long-term macroeconomic expectations, which are yearly reviewed based on the historical performance and prospects for the sector where the Company operates.

Future cash flows estimated were discounted at a single discount rate of 9.7% this year.

The Company’s intangible assets impairment test did not require the recognition of losses since the estimated usage value exceeds its net book value on the valuation date.

* Weighted average rate

The Company uses swap operations to translate U.S. dollar-denominated, yen-denominated obligations and fixed interest rate to Brazilian reais liabilities pegged to CDI (floating) variation.

CDI annual benchmark rate at March 31, 2010 stood at 8.61% (8.55% at December 31, 2009).

b) BNDES

The line of credit obtained from the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) is subject to indexation based on TJLP rate (long-term interest rate), accrued of annual interest rates. In the event the TJLP exceeds 6% p.a., the surplus will be added to the principal outstanding balance. The Company also has agreements indexed based on a basket of foreign currencies, in addition to the respective charges, plus the outstanding balance and annual interest rates. Financing is paid in monthly installments after a grace period, as mentioned below.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company had two agreements entered into with BNDES at May 9, 2007, and July 28, 2009, which are indexed by TJLP.

b) BNDES (Continued)

In addition to BNDES Resolutions 665/87 (Provisions Applicable to BNDES Agreements) and 660/87 (Follow-up Rules and Instructions), the Company must observe certain debt covenants indexes calculated based on its consolidated information, in accordance with Brazilian GAAP. At March 3, 2010, the Company renegotiated the ratios to be observed, which now are as follows: (i) maintenance of a capitalization ratio (shareholders' equity/total assets) equal to or in excess of 0.30 and (ii) maintenance of a current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) equal to or in excess of 1.05. The Management effectively controls and monitors debt covenants, and has been fully performing the ratios required on a contractual basis.

The funding obtained by subsidiary Globex with financial institutions (BNDES, Banco IBM and Unibanco) includes event of early maturity related to the change in the share control. Said financial institutions have already officially declared that they will not exercise this right referring to the declaration of early maturity.

(*) loans and derivative financial instruments classified as fair value hedge are recorded by fair value.

The Company adopts risk control policies and procedures, as outlined below:

a) Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Company and its subsidiaries

(i) Credit risk

•     

Cash and cash equivalents: in order to minimize credit risk of these investments, the Company adopts policies restricting the marketable securities that may be allocated to a single financial institution, and which take into consideration monetary limits and financial institution ratings, which are frequently restated (Note 4).

•     

Receivables: The credit risk related to accounts receivable is mitigated by the fact that most of sales of the Company and its subsidiaries are carried out via credit cards. In the quarter ended March 31, 2010, direct sales to individuals through post-dated checks accounted for nearly 0.27% of total sales in the period (0.40% at March 31, 2009). Credit card and/or tickets sales are mostly assigned to PAFIDC, the risk of which is related and limited to the amount of subordinated quotas held by the Company (Note 8).

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Company and its subsidiaries obtain loans and financing from major financial institutions in order to meet its cash needs for investments and growth. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to material interest rate fluctuation risks, mainly due to the liabilities component of derivative operations (currency hedge) and CDI-related debts. The balance of marketable securities indexed to CDI, partially offsets this effect.

a) Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Company and its subsidiaries (Continued)

(iii) Exchange rate risk

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, which may result in the increase of liabilities balances of foreign currency-denominated loans. The Company and its subsidiaries use derivatives, such as swaps, which aim at annulling the exchange rate risk, turning the cost of debt into local currency and interest rates.

Derivative financial instruments

The swap agreements mentioned above are classified as fair value hedges. At March 31, 2010, these agreements amount to a reference value of R$1,000,753 (ditto in 2009). Usually, these operations are contracted on a matched basis, in terms of value, term and rates, and preferably with the same financial institution, observing the limits established by the Management.

Other swap operations carried out by the Company and its subsidiaries are substantially related to debentures and BNDES loans, aiming at changing fixed and variable interest rates into variable interest rates (CDI). These instruments are classified as “measured at fair value to income”.

According to the Company’s treasury policy, swaps with caps are not allowed, as well as margins, “regret” clauses, double index, flexible options or any other types of options different from traditional swaps for the hedge of debts, including for speculative purposes.

The Company’s internal control environment was designed so as to ensure that transactions executed are in compliance with this treasury policy.

The Company calculates the effectiveness of these hedge operations upon their contracting and on a continued basis (at least, quarterly). Hedge operations contracted in the period ended March 31, 2010 showed effectiveness in relation to the debts, purpose of this hedge. For derivative operations qualified as hedge accounting, pursuant to CPC 14, the hedged debt is also adjusted at fair value as per fair value hedge rules.

Gains and losses, realized and unrealized, on these agreements, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, are recorded in the net financial income and the balance receivable or payable in the fair value of R$146,975 (R$154,838 in 2009) is recorded in item “loans and financing”.

The effects of fair value hedge to the net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 were R$(2,525) (R$(1,095) in March 2009).

Other instruments marked at fair value showed effects in the income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 of R$217 (R$12,495 in March 2009).

(iv) Fair values of derivative financial instruments

Fair values are calculated by projecting the future flows of operations, based on the projected CDI curves of BM&F Bovespa and carrying them at present value, using DI market rates to swaps published by BM&F Bovespa.

The market values of swaps – exchange coupon x CDI were obtained by using exchange rates prevailing on the market on the date the financial information is drawn up and on rates projected by the market calculated based on the currency coupon curves. In order to determine the coupon of foreign currency indexed-positions the straight line convention of 360 consecutive days was adopted and to determine the coupon of CDI indexed-position the exponential convention of 252 business days was adopted.

b) Analysis of sensitivity of derivative financial instruments

CVM Ruling sets forth that publicly-held companies, supplementing the provision of item 59 of CPC 14 – Financial Instruments: Recognition, Measurement and Supporting Documentation should disclose a sensitivity analysis chart, for each type of market risk deemed as relevant by the Management, originated by financial instruments, to which the entity is exposed on each period closing date, including all derivative financial instruments.

Pursuant to the provision above, according to the Management’s evaluation, the most probable scenario is to realize on the maturity dates of each operation what the market has been signaling through market curves (currency and interest rates) of BM&F Bovespa. Therefore, in the probable scenario, there is no impact over the fair value of financial instruments mentioned above. For scenarios II and III, for exclusive effect of sensitivity analysis, a deterioration of 25% and 50%, respectively, was considered on risk variables until the maturity date of financial instruments.

For derivative instruments (destined to hedge its financial debt), variations in scenarios are accompanied by respective purposes of hedge, thus, evidencing that effects are practically null.

For these operations, the Company disclosed the balance of purpose (debt) and hedged derivative financial instrument in separate items of a Sensitivity Analysis Chart, so that to inform about the net exposure of the Company, in each one of the three scenarios mentioned:

(i) Fair value hedge (on maturity dates)

Operations    Risk    Scenario I    Scenario II    Scenario III 
 
Debt - USD    USD increase    (621,095)    (776,369)    (931,642)

    net effect    -    -    - 
 
Debt at pre-fixed rate    Rate increase    (435,343)    (446,725)    (458,125) 
Swap (long position in pre- fixed rate)    Rate increase    435,343    446,725    458,125 
    net effect       
 
 
Swap (short position in CDI)    CDI increase    (1,387,088)    (1,417,829)    (1,448,812) 
 
Net effect            (30,216)    (60,673) 

The Company’s net exposure corresponds to CDI-related debt and the total net effect represents the deterioration of scenario II and III in relation to scenario I, which the Company considers as the most probable scenario.

(ii) Measured at fair value through income

Operations    Risk    Scenario I    Scenario II    Scenario III 
 
Swap (long position in CDI)    CDI increase    982,791    1,024,353    1,065,414 
Swap (short position in CDI)    CDI increase    (982,449)    (1,026,083)    (1,069,215) 
    net effect    342    (1,730)    (3,801) 
 
Total net effect        342    (1,730)    (3,801) 

 

The total net effect of scenarios mentioned above is basically due to the Company’s exposure to CDI.

The subsidiary Globex has, at March 31, 2010, the amount of R$17,014 (US$9,557 thousand) related to Balance at Banks and R$1,501 (US$843 thousand) related to U.S. dollar-denominated foreign investment. As a result, the Company’s Management does not deem as relevant the forex exposure risk.

COFINS and PIS

As the non-cumulativeness system for the purposes of calculating PIS started (Law 10,637/02) and COFINS (Law 10,833/03), the Company and its subsidiaries started to argue the appropriation of credits, as well as the possibility of excluding the amount from ICMS in its calculation bases with the judiciary branch.

The Company granted stock option plans for the purchase of preferred shares to the Management. Shares issued due to the exercise of stock option plans will grant its holders the same rights of existing PNA shares.

The granting price for each share is, at least, 60% of the weighted average price of the preferred shares traded in the week the option is granted.

The number of shares may vary for each beneficiary or series. The vesting right to exercise the option may occur as follows and according to the following terms (i) 50% in the last month of third year subsequent to the granting date (1st tranche) and ii) until 50% in the last month of fifth year subsequent to the granting date (2nd tranche), and the remaining portion of the second tranche subject to restraint on alienation until the beneficiary’s retirement, as per formula defined in the regulation.

Shares subject to restraint on alienation (Q), upon the exercise of outlined in the stock option plan are calculated using the following formula:

18. Shareholders’ equity (Continued)

e) Stock option plan for preferred shares (Continued)

  where:

Q = Number of shares to be encumbered by restraint on alienation.

Q1 = 50% of the Company total shares on the granting date.

Pm = Company share market price on the exercise date.

Pe = Share original exercise price, determined on the granting date, observing the terms of the Plan.

The option price is updated by reference to the General Market Price Index - IGP-M variation to the date of its actual exercise, less dividends attributed for the period.

(ii) New preferred stock option plan

Pursuant to the resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting, held at December 20, 2006, it was approved the amendment to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, originally approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting held at April 28, 1997.

As from 2007, the granting of stock options to the Management and employees will take place as follows:

Shares will be classified as follows: Silver and Gold, and the quantity of Gold-type shares may be decreased and/or increased (reducer or accelerator), at discretion of the Plan management committee, in the course of 35 months following the granting date.

The price for the Silver-type share will correspond to the average of closing price of negotiations of the Company’s preferred shares occurred over the last 20 trading sessions of BOVESPA, prior to the date on which the Committee resolves on the granting of option, with discount of 20%. The price for the Gold-type share will correspond to R$0.01 and the granting of these options are additional to the Silver options, and the granting or the exercise of Gold options is not possible separately. In both cases, the prices will not be restated.

The Silver and Gold options shall be effective as of the date of the respective agreement. The number of shares resulting from the Silver option is fixed (established in the agreement). The number of shares resulting from the Gold option is variable, establishing on the granting date a number of shares that may be increased or decreased, according to the ROIC verified at the end of the 36th month as of the granting date.

The series of previous plan continue in force until the respective maturity dates.

[Comparable-basis comments – excluding Globex]

In the first quarter of 2010, Grupo Pão de Açúcar’s gross sales increased by 19.9% over the same period last year to R$ 6,343.0 million, while net sales moved up by 23.2% to R$ 5,716.0 million.

In same-store terms (i.e. stores that have been operational for at least 12 months, therefore excluding Ponto Frio stores), gross sales grew by 15.0%, giving real growth of 9.6% when deflated by the General IPCA consumer price index(1), positively impacted by 180 bps due to the seasonal effect of Easter. Net sales recorded nominal growth of 18.1%.

Also on a same-store sales basis, gross food sales grew by 13.5%, with beverages and groceries doing particularly well. Non-food sales grew by 19.5%, led by the general merchandise, drugstore and electronics/household appliances categories, which posted higher increases than the non-food average.

The Group’s best-performing formats were Extra Hipermercados, Extra Supermercados, Extra Eletro and Assaí, whose sales growth was higher than the Company average. The average ticket also moved up, as did customer traffic in all Group stores.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the first quarter, Grupo Pão de Açúcar’s consolidated gross sales increased by 47.1% year-on-year to R$ 7,785.7 million, while net sales climbed by 50.2% to R$ 6,973.5 million.

Globex’s gross sales, including e-commerce operations, climbed by 49.6% over 1Q09 to R$ 1,442.7 million, while net sales came to R$ 1,257.5 million, up by 53.5%. In same-store terms(2), sales moved up by 48.0% year-on-year. The Company’s improved performance in comparison to 3Q09 and 4Q09 (+6.8% and +23.0%, respectively) indicated a positive trend and was better than the Company expected. As in the previous quarters, the main sales drivers were: (i) a focus on the stores, with differentiated customer service and the greater availability of products and credit, and (ii) an increased media presence.

Gross e-commerce sales, which include Extra.com.br, Pão de Açúcar Delivery, Pontofrio.com.br and Ponto Frio’s Wholesale segment, jumped by 65.3% in the period.

(1) Like ABRAS (the Brazilian Supermarket Association), the Company has adopted the IPCA – General Consumer Price Index as its inflation indicator, since it gives a more accurate reflection of the Company’s product and brand mix.

(2) Ponto Frio’s ‘same-store’ concept includes bricks & mortar and electronic/wholesale sales.

[Comparable-basis comments – excluding Globex]

In the first quarter, gross profit totaled R$ 1,406.5 million, 19.6% up year-on-year, with a gross margin of 24.6%, down by 70 bps. The main contributory factors were:

(i) the expansion of the ICMS tax substitution regime, which had a negative impact of 70 bps; and

(ii) the increased share of Assaí in the Group’s sales, which had a negative impact of 20 bps.

It is worth noting that these impacts were partially offset thanks to more advantageous negotiations with suppliers and a more profitable product mix.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the first quarter, consolidated gross profit came to R$ 1,671.8 million with a gross margin of 24.0%, less than the comparable-basis margin, chiefly due to the upturn in electronics sales, whose margins are lower than those of food products.

Total Operating Expenses 
With a year-on-year reduction of 60 bps, operating expenses amounted to 18.0% of net sales

[Comparable-basis comments – excluding Globex]

In the first quarter, total operating expenses (including selling, general and administrative expenses) increased by 19.1% year-on-year to R$ 1,029.3 million, due to: (i) the impact of the upturn in the social benefit rate on personnel expenses; (ii) higher marketing and IT expenses; and (iii) the 34 stores opened in the last twelve months. Operating expenses represented 18.0% of net sales, 60 bps less than in 1Q09, thanks to the continuing efforts to control expenses, allowing the Group to invest in price competitiveness without losing profitability.

In the first quarter, EBITDA came to R$ 377.2 million in absolute terms, 20.8% up year-on-year, while the EBITDA margin stood at 6.6%, virtually identical to the 6.7% posted in 1Q09.

EBITDA growth and the stability of the EBITDA margin are a result of substantial sales growth, more advantageous negotiations with suppliers, price competitiveness and the rationalization of expenses.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the first quarter, EBITDA stood at R$ 410.4 million, 31.4% growth on 1Q09, with a margin of 5.9%. It is also worth noting that Globex performance showed significant improvements since its acquisition in July, 2009.

[Comparable-basis comments – excluding Globex]

In the first quarter, the net financial result increased by 8.7% to a negative R$ 77.4 million, fueled by the impact of the mark-to-market of the debt, whose gains exceeded those from the period’s lower CDI interbank rate.

90



In addition, net cash at the close of 1Q10 was lower than in 4Q09 due to working capital seasonality in the first quarter, a period when the Group disburses large volumes of cash as a result of end-of-year purchases. This trend will be reversed over the coming months and the Group’s cash position should gradually return to the levels recorded in the second half of 2009.

[Consolidated comments – including Globex]

In the first quarter, the net financial result was negative by R$ 104.5 million, while the net debt/EBITDA ratio stood at 1.0x.

Equity Income
FIC’s result moves up by R$ 9.6 million in the quarter 

 

With the incorporation of Investcred by FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD), and given their respective shareholders’ equities, GPA now retains a 36% direct interest in FIC, while Globex retains a 14% stake. The Group’s consolidated interest in FIC remains at 50%.

In the first quarter, FIC accounted for 14% of the Group’s total sales, closing the period with 7.1 million clients and a receivables portfolio of R$ 2.9 billion.

FIC’s equity income totaled R$ 9.6 million, R$ 6.3 million of which went to GPA and R$ 3.3 million to Globex.

This result was fueled by a meticulous credit granting policy and the acceptance of Ponto Frio cards in the GPA stores and vice-versa.

In the first quarter, investments totaled R$ 207.1 million, versus R$ 100.3 million in 1Q09.

The Group opened 11 new stores in the period: one Extra Hipermercado combined with one Assaí store under the power center concept (which serves retail and wholesale customers in adjacent stores) in Palmas (TO); and nine Extra Fácil convenience stores in São Paulo (SP).

In addition, one CompreBem store in Caruaru (PE) was converted into the Assaí format.

R$ 30.8 million in the opening and construction of new stores and the acquisition of strategic sites;

•     

R$ 92.4 million in store renovations and conversions;

•     

R$ 83.9 million in infrastructure (technology and logistics) and others.

Globex Utilidades S.A. 

 

In the first quarter of 2010, gross sales climbed by 49.6% over 1Q09 to R$ 1,442.7 million, while net sales came to R$ 1,257.5 million, up by 67.4%.

In same-store terms, gross sales from merchandise, services and e-commerce operations moved up by 48.0% year-on-year. The Company’s improved performance in comparison to 3Q09 and 4Q09 (+6.8% and +23.0%, respectively) indicates a positive trend and was better than the Company expected.

The main sales drivers were: (i) a focus on the stores, with differentiated customer service and the greater availability of products and credit; (ii) an increased media presence; and (iii) accelerated consumption due to the end of the IPI (federal VAT) reduction on white goods and furniture as of March 31, 2010.

Gross profit stood at R$ 265.2 million, 74.1% up on the same period last year, with a gross margin of 21.1%, an 80 bps improvement. The increase was chiefly due to: (i) more advantageous negotiations with suppliers; and (ii) a more profitable product mix.

Total operating expenses (including selling, general and administrative expenses) came to R$ 232.1 million, 29.2% up on 1Q09, substantially less than the 49.6% upturn in gross sales in the same period, reflecting gains in synergy with Grupo Pão de Açúcar, thanks to more streamlined back-office operations, which reduced these expenses by 550 bps as a percentage of net sales.

EBITDA was a positive R$ 33.1 million (margin of 2.6%), versus a negative R$ 27.3 million in 1Q09.

The EBITDA performance was chiefly the result of substantial sales growth, increased credit in the stores and the improvement in the gross margin, in turn due to advantageous negotiations with suppliers, a more appropriate product mix and greater control over expenses.

The net financial result was R$ 27.1 million negative, versus a negative R$ 10.0 million in 1Q09, primarily due to the interest on the increased volume of receivables in comparison to the same period last year.

Equity income, considering Globex’s 14% interest in FIC and 50% interest in the remaining equity of BINV (Banco Investcred), was R$ 3.3 million, thanks to rigorous credit granting criteria and the acceptance of Ponto Frio cards in Grupo Pão de Açúcar stores and vice-versa.

The Company declared a 1Q10 net loss of R$ 3.7 million, a R$ 31.8 million improvement over the loss recorded in 1Q09. The recovery was basically due to the operating improvements commented on previously.

Wholesale Segment: Assaí 
EBITDA climbs 38.7% in the quarter, with a margin of 2.6% 

 

In the first quarter, Assaí recorded gross sales of R$ 670.0 million, including the stores in São Paulo, Ceará, Rio de Janeiro and Pernambuco, 52.0% up on 1Q09, fueled by the opening of new stores and the conversion of existing ones in the last 12 months. Net sales climbed by 55.1% to R$ 608.7 million.

Gross profit totaled R$ 91.2 million, with a margin of 15.0%, 150 bps more than in 1Q09, thanks to more advantageous negotiations with suppliers and gains in scale. Total operating expenses came to R$ 75.2 million, 38.7% up year-on-year, due to the opening of 14 stores in the last twelve months. This figure was below the 55.1% increase in net sales in the same period.

EBITDA amounted to R$ 16.0 million, with a margin of 2.6%, up by 290 bps, due to the maturation of a large number of stores in recent years. Net income stood at R$ 4.7 million, versus a net loss of R$ 3.2 million in 1Q09.

21.01 – SPECIAL REVIEW REPORT – UNQUALIFIED OPINION 

 

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição
São Paulo - SP

1. We have performed a review of the accompanying unconsolidated and consolidated Quarterly Financial Information (“ITR”) of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and the Company and subsidiaries for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, including the balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders’ equity, cash flows, added value, notes to the quarterly financial information and Company’s performance comments prepared under responsibility of Management of the Company.

2. Our review was conducted in accordance with the specific procedures determined by the Institute of Independent Auditors of Brazil (“IBRACON”) and the Federal Board of Accountancy (“CFC”), and included principally: (a) inquiries of and discussions with the management responsible for the Company’s and subsidiaries accounting, financial and operating areas regarding the criteria adopted for the preparation of the quarterly information and (b) review of information and subsequent events which have or might have significant effects on the Company’s and subsidiaries operations and financial position.

3. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modification that should be made to the Quarterly Financial Information referred in paragraph 1 for it to comply with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (“CVM”) instructions, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information.

108


4. As mentioned in Note 2, during 2009, CVM approved several accounting pronouncements, interpretations and guidances, which were issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (CPC), with mandatory application in 2010. These accounting pronouncements, interpretations and guidance change the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. According to the Deliberation CVM no. 603/09, Management of the Company chose to present the Quarterly Financial Information (ITR) prepared according to the accounting practices adopted in Brazil until December 31, 2009, not adopting the new accounting rules applicable for 2010. As required by the Deliberation CVM no. 603/09, the Company described in Note 2 the main changes that could have impact over the financial statements for December 31, 2010, and clarifications over the reasons that preclude the estimation of impacts in the shareholoders’ equity and net income.
