São Paulo, Brazil, June 16, 2008. Grupo Pão de Açúcar [NYSE: CBD; BOVESPA: PCAR4 (PN)] announces its May 2008 sales performance (unaudited preliminary figures). The information presented below was calculated based on consolidated figures and in Reais, in accordance with Brazilian Corporate Law.

In May, Grupo Pão de Açúcar’s gross sales totaled R$ 1,708.3 million, 24.9% up year-on-year, while net sales climbed 28.2% to R$ 1,478.8 million.

In the same-store concept, gross sales moved up 12.1% year-on-year and net sales by 15.4% . Two main factors made a positive contribution to this performance: (i) the calendar effect (the Corpus Christi holiday and one Friday and Saturday more than in the same period in 2007), which had an impact of around 250 basis points; and (ii) the increase in the average ticket. Additionally, even excluding the calendar effect, the number of tickets was higher in the period, continuing the positive trend registered in the beginning of the year.

In year-to-date terms, same-store gross and net sales increased by 6.4% and 7.9% y-o-y, respectively.

Also under the same-store concept, food sales climbed 12.4% y-o-y, with perishables and grocery recording similar growth. Non-food products moved up 11.3%, pushed by electronic goods, which continued to record double-digit expansion.
