(“Sé”), and 102 stores by Sendas Distribuidora S.A. (“Sendas Distribuidora”).

a) Sendas Distribuidora

Sendas Distribuidora operations began on February 1, 2004 through the Investment and Partnership Agreement, entered into in December 2003 with Sendas S.A. (“Sendas”). This subsidiary concentrates retailing activities of the Company and of Sendas in the entire state of Rio de Janeiro. The Company is performing a restructuring process, in order to increasing profitability through efficiency gains. (see Note 11(i)).

b) Partnership with Itaú

On July 27, 2004, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Banco Itaú Holding Financeira S.A. (“Itaú”) and the Company with the objective of setting up Financeira Itaú CBD S.A. (“FIC”).

2. Basis of Preparation and Presentation of the Quarterly Information

The quarterly information was prepared in accordance with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with the procedures issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM) and by the Brazilian Institute of Accountants (IBRACON).

With the purpose of providing additional information, the following is presented: (a) statement of cash flow, prepared in accordance with the Statement NPC 20/99 issued by IBRACON and (b) statement of added value, in accordance with Resolution of Accounting Federal Council – CFC 1,010 as of January 21, 2005.

Certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are determined on the basis of estimates when preparing the financial statements. Accordingly, the financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements include various estimates, among which are those relating to calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts, depreciation and amortization, asset valuation allowance, realization of deferred taxes, contingencies and other estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimated.

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

a) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include the cash and checking account balances.

b) Marketable securities

Securities are recorded at cost, accrued of earnings verified up to the balance sheet date and not exceeding the market value. The marketable securities are redeemable within 90 days as from the balance sheet date.

c) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated realizable values. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided in an amount considered by Management to be sufficient to meet probable future losses related to uncollectible accounts.

8


Table of Contents

The setting up of provision is mainly based on the historic average of losses, in addition to specific accounts receivable deemed as uncollectible.

Customer credit financing is generally for a term of up to 24 months. Interest is recorded and allocated as financial income during the financing period.

The Company securitizes its accounts receivable with a partially owned special purpose entity, the PAFIDC (Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios).

d) Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The cost of inventories purchased directly by the stores is based on the last purchase price, which approximates the First In, First Out (“FIFO”) method. The cost of inventories purchased through the warehouse is recorded at average cost, including warehousing and handling costs.

e) Other current and noncurrent assets

Other assets and receivables are stated at cost, including, when applicable, contractual indexation accruals, net of allowances to reflect realizable amounts, if necessary.

f) Investments

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

g) Property and equipment

These assets are shown 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 10, which take into account the economic useful lives of the assets or the leasing term, whichever is shorter.

Interest and financial charges on loans and financing obtained from third parties directly or indirectly attributable to the process of purchase, construction and operating expansion, are capitalized during the construction and refurbishment of the Company’s stores in conformity with CVM Deliberation 193. The capitalized

Table of Contents

interest and financial charges are appropriated to results over the depreciation periods of the corresponding assets.

Other expenditures for repairs and maintenance that do not significantly extend the useful lives of related asset are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures that significantly extend the useful lives of existing facilities and equipment are capitalized.

CBD’s indirect interest in Sendas Distribuidora at March 31, 2007 corresponded to 42.57% of total capital. It is incumbent upon CBD´s Board of Executive Officers to conduct the operating and administrative management of Sendas Distribuidora, in addition to its prevailing decision when electing or removing executive officers.

Pursuant to its Shareholders’ Agreement, Sendas S.A. may at any time as from February 1, 2007 exercise the right to barter its paid-in shares or a portion thereof, for preferred shares of CBD.

At September 16, 2005, Sendas S.A. and CBD and its subsidiaries entered into the 2nd Addendum and Ratification of Shareholders’ Agreement of Sendas Distribuidora, which resolved on:

At October 19, 2006, Sendas S.A. manifested in writing to CBD the wish to exercise the “put” option, pursuant to Clause 6.7 of Sendas Distribuidora Shareholders’ Agreement, related to the transfer of equity control. CBD, understanding that a sale of control was not held, sent a counter-notice to Sendas S.A.

At October 31, 2006, CBD was notified by the Câmara de Conciliação e Arbitragem da Fundação Getúlio Vargas – FGV (Chamber of Conciliation and Arbitration of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation) that Sendas S.A. has filed an appeal and brought the matter to arbitration, authority expected to discuss such matter.

At January 5, 2007, Sendas S.A. notified CBD, expressing the exercise of right to swap the totality of paid-up shares owned thereby with preferred shares of CBD’s capital stock, provided for in Clause 6.9.1 of Shareholders’ Agreement of Sendas Distribuidora, subjecting the effectiveness of swap to the award of arbitration mentioned above not to acknowledge the “put” exercise right on the part of Sendas.

At March 13, 2007, CBD and Sendas entered into an Arbitration Commitment, commencing the arbitration proceeding. At April 31, 2007, Sendas S.A. has formally presented their arguments in the Câmara de Conciliação e Arbitragem of Fundação Getúlio Vargas “FGV”.

(i) Administrative Council for Economic Defense “CADE”

On March 5, 2004, Sendas Distribuidora shareholders entered into an Operation Reversibility Agreement related to the association between CBD and Sendas S.A. in the State of Rio de Janeiro, which establishes conditions to be observed until the final decision on the association process, such as the continuance, totally or partially, of the stores under Sendas Distribuidora responsibility, maintenance of the work posts in accordance with the average gross revenue by employee of the five largest supermarket chains, non-reduction of the term of current lease agreements, among others.

Shareholders are waiting for the conclusion of the process, however, based on the opinion of their legal advisors and on the normal procedural steps of the process, they believe that the association will be approved by the CADE.

(ii) Capital subscription by the AIG Group

At November 30, 2004, shareholders of Sendas Distribuidora and investment funds of the AIG Group (“AIG”) entered into an agreement through which AIG invested the amount of R$ 135,675 in Sendas Distribuidora, by means of subscription and payment of 157,082,802 class B preferred shares, issued by Sendas Distribuidora, representing 14.86% of its capital. AIG has waived its rights to receive dividends, until November 30, 2008.

After this operation, the Company, through its subsidiary Sé, now holds 42.57% of the Sendas Distribuidora total capital.

Table of Contents

According to the above mentioned agreement, CBD and AIG mutually granted reciprocal call and put options of the shares purchased by AIG in Sendas Distribuidora, which may be exercised within approximately 4 years.

Upon exercising the referred options, the shares issued by Sendas Distribuidora to AIG will represent a put against CBD which may be used to subscribe up to three billion preferred shares to be issued by CBD in a future capital increase.

The price of the future issuance of CBD preferred shares will be set based on market value at the time of issuance, and the amount of issued shares will enable the payment by AIG in the maximum quantity referred to above. If the AIG value of Sendas Distribuidora’s shares results in more than the value of three billion shares of CBD, CBD will pay the difference in cash.

The exit of AIG from Sendas Distribuidora is defined based on the “Exit Price”, the calculation is based on the EBITDA, EBITDA multiple and the Net Financial Indebtedness of Sendas Distribuidora. This “Exit Price” will give AIG the right to purchase CBD preferred shares according the criteria below:

At March 31, 2007, total AIG shareholding represented a credit of R$ 137,747 (R$ 151,157 at December 31, 2006), which, converted to the average quotation of the last week of March 2007 of CBD shares in the São Paulo Stock Exchange “BOVESPA”, would be equivalent to a total of 2,223,880,667 shares (2,181,516,928 shares at December 31, 2006) of the Company (1% of its capital).

d) Investment agreement – CBD and Itaú

Miravalles, a company set up in July 2004 and owner of exploitation rights of the Company´s financial activities, received funds from Itaú related to capital subscription, which then started to hold 50% of such company. Also in 2004, Miravalles set up Financeira Itaú CBD S.A. “FIC”, with capital stock of R$ 150,000. It is a company which operates in structuring and commercialization of financial products and services exclusively to CBD customers.

On December 22, 2005, an amendment to the partnership agreement among CBD, Itaú and FIC was signed, and the clauses referring to meeting of performance goals, initially established, were changed. By such amendment, the meeting of goals and the guarantee account are not longer tied, and fines for noncompliance of said goals were set out. At December 31, 2006 the Company recognized the remaining amount of R$ 58,151 under non-operating results, due to the fulfillment of certain performance goals during the year.

This partnership is effective for 20 years and may be extended for an indeterminate term. The operational management of FIC is under the responsibility of Itaú.

The Miravalles’ financial information for the quarter ended March 31 and the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 were audited by other independent auditors. In the quarter ended at March 31, 2007, total investments and net equity result of said investee represented 0.7% and (16.3)%, respectively, in relation to the Company’s consolidated financial statements (0.7% and 15.4% of total assets in the year ended at December 31, 2006 and net income in the quarter ended at March 31, 2006, respectively).

(i) Working capital financing

Obtained from local banks and part of it is used to fund customer credit (the remaining balance not granted to PAFIDC), or originated from needs of financing of CBD growth. This is made without guarantees, but endorsed by CBD in case of Sendas Distribuidora.

(ii) BNDES credit line

The line of credit agreements, denominated in reais, with the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), are either subject to the indexation based on TJLP rate (long-term rate) or are denominated based on a basket of foreign currencies to reflect the BNDES’ funding portfolio, plus an annual interest rates, in both cases. The financing is paied in monthly installments after a grace period, as mentioned below.

The Company cannot offer any assets as collateral for loans to other parties without the prior authorization of BNDES and is required to comply with certain debt covenants, measured in accordance with Brazilian GAAP, including: (i) maintenance of a capitalization ratio (shareholders' equity/total assets) equal to or in excess of 0.40 and (ii) maintenance of a current ratio (current assets/current liabilities) equal to or in excess of 1.05. Management effectively controls and monitors covenants, which were fully performed. The parent company offered pledges as a joint and several liable party for settlement of the agreements.

a) Taxes

Tax-related contingencies are indexed to the SELIC (Central Bank Overnight Rate), of 13.96% at March 31, 2007 (15.08% at December 31, 2006) and, in some cases, are subject to fines. In all cases, when applicable, both interest charges and fines have been computed with respect to unpaid amounts and are fully accrued.

COFINS and PIS

In 1999, the rate for COFINS increased from 2% to 3%, and the tax base of both COFINS and PIS was extended to encompass other types of income, including financial income. The Company is challenging the increase in contributions of

36


Table of Contents

COFINS and the extension of base of such contributions. Provision for COFINS and PIS includes unpaid amounts, monetarily restated, in the total of R$ 922,417 (R$ 907,707 at December 31, 2006), resulting from the lawsuit filed by the Company and its subsidiaries, claiming the right to not apply Law 9718/98, permitting it to determine the payment of COFINS under the terms of Complementary Law 70/91 (2% over the revenue) and of PIS under Law 9715/98 (0.65% over the revenue) as from February 1, 1999. The lawsuits are in progress at the Regional Federal Court, and up to this moment, the company has not been required to make judicial deposits.

As the calculation system of such contributions started to use the non-cumulative tax principle, starting by PIS as from December 1, 2002, with the Law 10637/02 and COFINS, as from February 2004 by means of Law 10833/03, the Company and its subsidiaries then started to apply said rules, as well as, to question with the Judiciary Branch, the extension of tax base of such contributions, aiming at continuing its application by the concept of sales results, as well as the appropriation of credits not accepted by laws and that the Management understands to be subject to appropriation, such as financial expenses and third parties expenses. The provision recorded in the balance sheet in the amount of R$ 101,732 (R$ 96,007 at December 31, 2006), includes the unpaid installment, monetarily restated. In addition, the company challenges the limit of percentage and the term for appropriation of COFINS credit over the initial inventory carried with the Law 10833/03, recording in its balance sheet the difference of appropriated credit under such rule by virtue of judicial authorization. There are no judicial deposits for such discussions.

The company has another discussion stemming from the merged company Cia. Pernambucana de Alimentos – CIPAL, as to the tax base applied to PIS and COFINS contributions. We discuss the application of gross income as tax base, booking in its balance sheet the restated difference between the amounts paid and the basis provided for by Law 9718/98, in the amount of R$ 7,747 (R$ 7,606 at December 31, 2006). Said discussion has no judicial deposit.

Other

The Company and its subsidiaries have other tax contingencies, which after analysis of its legal counsels, were deemed as probable losses: a) lawsuit questioning the non-levy of IPI over codfish imports, which awaits decision by appellate court judge; b) federal administrative assessment about the restatement of equity accounts by an index higher than that accepted by tax authorities, which awaits decision by administrative appellate court judge (“Summer Plan”); c) administrative assessment referring to the collection of debts of withholding IRPJ

37


Table of Contents

(corporate income tax), PIS and COFINS, which also awaits decision by administrative appellate court judge, d) administrative assessment due to offsetting of INSS credit verified by the company under the viewpoint of undue payment over allowance not provided for by law, in progress in administrative lower court. The amount recorded in accounting books for such issues is R$ 19,104 (R$ 17,094 at December 31, 2006). The Company has no judicial deposits related to such issues.

b) Labor claims

The Company is party to numerous lawsuits involving disputes with its employees, primarily arising from layoffs in the ordinary course of business. At March 31, 2007, the Company recorded a provision of R$ 44,401 (R$ 42,708 at December 31, 2006) for contingencies related to labor claims. Such lawsuits, which loss in the amount of R$ 9,154 (R$ 9,734 at December 31, 2006), is deemed as probable by our legal counsel. Management, based on advice from legal counsel, evaluates these contingencies and provides for losses where probable and reasonably estimable, bearing in mind previous experiences in relation to the amounts sought. Labor claims are indexed to the Referential Interest Rate “TR”, (2.0% accumulated over the last 12 months in the quarter ended at March 31, 2007) plus 1% monthly interest. The earmarked judicial deposits amount is R$ 41,465 (R$ 36,715 at December 31, 2006).

c) Civil and other

The Company is a defendant, at several judicial levels, in lawsuits of civil natures, among others. The Company sets up provisions for losses in amounts considered sufficient to cover unfavorable court decisions when its internal and external legal counsel consider losses to be probable.

Among these lawsuits, we point out the following:

38


Table of Contents

          R$ 4,079 million judicial deposit, protecting the period in which it was not covered by the preliminary injunction.

d) Possible losses

The Company has other contingencies which have been analyzed by the legal counsel and deemed as possible but not probable; therefore, have not been accrued, at March 31, 2007, as follows:

39


Table of Contents

The Company was served notice in a State level as to the ICMS, related to purchase, manufacturing and sale transactions for export purposes of soybean and its byproducts, in which, in the tax authorities’ understanding, the circulation of products did not take place. Regarding the Federal level, the Company was served notice regarding these operations, in relation to PIS, COFINS and income tax. The installment was classified by our legal counsel as probable, which has been accrued, amounting to R$ 7,985 (R$ 7,485 at December 31, 2006) and as possible, amounting to R$ 167,639 (R$ 161,191 at December 31, 2006). Such lawsuits are being discussed in the administrative level and there are no judicial deposits.

Past December 2006, after the conclusion of the inspection process for the year 2001, the Company was served notice by the São Paulo State Treasury. The tax assessment refers to the recovery of tax replacement pursuant to the Ordinance

40


Table of Contents

CAT 17/99. The tax authorities understood that the Company was not complying with ordinances 63/99 and 99/05 dealing with ancillary liabilities to recovery. According to our attorneys, the possible losses amount to R$ 242,207 (R$ 226,659 at December 31, 2006).

Occasional adverse changes in the expectation of risk of the referred to lawsuits may require that additional provision for contingencies be set up.

e) Appeal and judicial deposits

The Company is challenging the payment of certain taxes, contributions and labor-related obligations and has made court escrow deposits (restricted deposits) of equivalent amounts pending final legal decisions, in addition to collateral deposits related to provisions for judicial suits.

f) Guarantees

The company has granted collaterals to some lawsuits of civil, labor and tax nature, as shown below:

Management is required by the Brazilian Corporation Law to propose dividends at year-end, at least, until the amount of mandatory dividend, which can include the interest attributed to equity, net of tax.

c) Capital reserve – Goodwill Special Reserve

This reserve was set up as a result of the corporate restructuring process outlined in Note 1 (c), in contra account to the merged net assets and represents the amount of future tax benefit to be earned by means of amortization of goodwill merged. The special reserve portion corresponding to the benefit earned may be capitalized at the end of each fiscal year to the benefit of the controlling shareholders, with the issue of new shares. The capital increase will be subject to the preemptive right of non-controlling shareholders, in the proportion of their respective interest, by type and class, at the time of the issue, and the amounts paid in the year related to such right will be directly delivered to the controlling shareholder, pursuant to provision in CVM Ruling 319/99.

At December 31, 2006, the tax benefit recorded derived from the goodwill merged was R$ 517,331 and will be used in the capital increase, upon the realization of reserve.

d) Revenue reserves

(i)       Legal reserve – the legal reserve is formed based on appropriations from retained earnings of 5% of annual net income, before any appropriations, and limited to 20% of the capital.
 
(ii) Expansion reserve: was approved by the shareholders to reserve funds to finance additional capital investments and working and current capital through the appropriation of up to 100% of the net income remaining after

            the legal appropriations and supported by capital budget, approved at meeting.

e) Preferred stock option plan

The Company offers a stock option plan for the purchase of preferred shares to management and employees. The exercise of options guarantees the beneficiaries the same rights granted to the Company's other shareholders. The management of this plan was attributed to a committee designated by the Board of Directors.

The option price for each lot of shares is, at least, 60% of the weighted average price of the preferred shares traded in the week the option is granted. The percentage may vary for each beneficiary or series.

The right to exercise the options is acquired in the following manner and terms: (i) 50% in the last month of the third year following the option date (1st tranche) and (ii) 50% in the last month of the fifth year following the option date (2nd tranche), with the condition that a certain number of shares will be restricted as to sale until the date the beneficiary retires.

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

The market value of each option granted is estimated on the granting date, by using the options pricing model “Black-Scholes” taking into account: expectation of dividends of 0.42% at March 31, 2007 (1.42% at December 31, 2006), expectation of volatility of nearly 36.7% at March 31, 2007 (37.2% at December 31, 2006), non-risk weighted average interest rate of 6.4% at March 31, 2007 (6.6% at December 31, 2006) and expectation of average life of four years at March 31, 2007 (four years at December 31, 2006).

New Preferred Stock Option Plan

The Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 20, 2006, approved the amendment to the Company’s Stock Option Plan, approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting held at April 28, 1997.

As from 2007, the granting of preferred stock option plan to management and employees will take place as follows:

Shares will be classified into two types: 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 each Silver-type thousand shares will correspond to the average of closing price of negotiations of CBD’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 negative goodwill of 20%. The price per each Gold-type thousand shares will correspond to R$ 0.01. In both bases, the prices will not be restated.

The acquisition of rights to the options exercise will occur as follows in the following term: as from the 36th month to 48th month as from the start date defined as the date of the adhesion agreement of respective series or fulfillment of any suspensive condition of its effectiveness to be defined by the Committee, the beneficiary will acquire the right to exercise: a) 100% of granting of Silver-type shares; b) the quantity of lots of Gold-type shares to be determined by the Committee, after the compliance with granting conditions.

Up to date, there was no granting of this new plan. The series of previous plan continue in force until the respective maturity dates.

20. Financial Instruments

a) General considerations

Management considers that risk of concentration in financial institutions is low, as operations are limited to traditional, highly-rated banks and within limits approved by the Management.

b) Concentration of credit risk

The Company’s sales are direct to individual customers through post-dated checks, in a small portion of sales (2% of yearly sales). In such portion, the risk is minimized by the large customer base. These receivables are also mostly sold to PAFIDC without right of recourse.

49


Table of Contents

The advances to suppliers are made only to selected suppliers. We do not have credit risk with suppliers, since we discount only own payments of goods already delivered.

In order to minimize credit risk from 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 credit ratings.

c) Market value of financial instruments

Estimated market value of financial instruments at March 31, 2007 approximates market value, reflecting maturities or frequent price adjustments of these instruments, as shown below:

Market value of financial assets and of current and noncurrent financing, when applicable, was determined using current interest rates available for operations carried out under similar conditions and remaining maturities.

In order to translating the financial charges and exchange variation of loans denominated in foreign currency into local currency, the Company contracted swap operations, pegging the referred to charges to the CDI variation, which reflects market value.

d) Currency and interest rate risk management

The utilization of derivative instruments and operations involving interest rates aims at protecting the results of assets and liabilities operations of the Company, conducted by the finance operations area, in accordance with the strategy previously approved by management.

The cross-currency interest rate swaps allow the Company to exchange fixed rate interest in U.S. dollars on short-term and long-term debt (Note 13) for floating rate interest in Brazilian reais. As of March 31, 2007, the U.S. dollar-denominated short-term and long-term debt balances of R$ 1,122,434 (US$547,421) (R$ 1,279,559 – US$598,483 at December 31, 2006), include financing of R$ 1,108,966 (US$540,853) (R$ 1,265,503 – US$591,910 at December 31, 2006), the weighted average interest rates of 5.1% per year (5.1% at December 31, 2006) which are covered by floating rate swaps, linked to a percentage of the CDI in Brazilian reais, calculated at weighted average rate of 103.7% of CDI (103.6% of CDI at December 31, 2006).

21. Insurance Coverage (not reviewed)

Coverage at March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 is considered sufficient by management to meet possible losses and is summarized as follows:

Insured assets    Risks covered    Amount insured 
         
 
Property, equipment    Named risks    5,577,635 
     and inventories

08.01 – Comments on the Consolidated Performance During the Quarter

Sales Performance 
Net sales grew 6.8% in the quarter 
 
R$ million    1Q07    1Q06    Chg. 
Gross Sales    4,168       3,925    6.2% 
Net Sales    3,530       3,305    6.8% 

In the 1st quarter of 2007, the Company recorded gross sales of R$ 4,168.0 million and net sales of R$ 3,530.3 million, with growth of 6.2% and 6.8% respectively in relation to the same prior-year period. This increase is due to the consolidation of the competitiveness strategy adopted, the recovery of food sales and the new sales incentive campaign.

In the ‘same stores’ concept, sales also presented a growth trend in relation to the levels observed in previous quarters, attaining the rate of 4.8% (gross sales) and 5.6% (net sales), in line with the growth of 5.0% expected by the Company for 2007.

Sales of food products presented a reversal of the downtrend recorded during the year 2006, registering growth of 4.5%, with an emphasis on the performance of perishable products. Sales of non-food products, even with the strong basis of comparison (growth of 14.5% in the first quarter of 2006 – World Cup effect), presented growth of 5.9% .

One of the prominent aspects was that although food inflation presented recovery in the quarter, the Group’s internal price monitoring index shows that prices practiced at the stores have been growing at considerably lower rates than those recorded by the food inflation indexes published by Fipe (Fundação Instituto de Pesquisas Econômicas - Brazilian Institute of Economic Research) or by IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics).

Another highlight of the period was the continuity of the growth of the flow of customers at the Group’s stores – a performance that has been accompanied by a higher average purchase per customer.

Although all the banners have displayed a growth in the ‘same stores’ the period, reflecting the Company’s better price positioning, the Pão de Açúcar banner stood out once again and the Sendas banner showed recovery in relation to the levels recorded in previous quarters.

Operating Performance
New sales campaign: ‘Varejo na Alma’ 

The sales incentive campaign called ‘Varejo na Alma’, an initiative involving all the employees of the stores, main office and Distribution Centers, stimulating the increase of sales with profitability, was started in January 2007. All the collaborators from the stores that attain growth of 5% in sales over the budget and that guaranteed at least the net income of this budget are awarded in this campaign.

The Campaign has been achieving excellent results and has already awarded 79 stores in the first quarter of 2007. This will be the focal point of 2007, which will clear the path for the consolidation of a new sales threshold.

The Company also continues focused on expense reduction programs and on the competitiveness strategy, which continued to produce consistent results in the 1st quarter of 2007 (sales growth, customer traffic and price image of the banners).

The comments presented below about operating performance refer to the consolidated figures of CBD, which include all the operating results of Sendas Distribuidora (a joint venture of CBD with the Sendas chain, in the state of Rio de Janeiro).

Gross margin of 27.8% in the quarter
Price reduction strategy contributed toward this performance.
 
R$ million    1Q07    1Q06    Chg. 
Gross Income    982    983    -0.1% 
Gross Margin - %    27.8%    29.7%    -190 bps 

The gross margin reached 27.8% in 1Q07, 190 basis points (bps) below the 29.7% reported in 1Q06. The margin reduction was offset by the growth of the sales volume, which allowed the Group to maintain practically the same gross income in the two periods (R$ 981.8 million in the first quarter of 2007 as opposed to R$ 982.9 million in the same period of 2006).

The lower gross margin is explained by the more aggressive price posture, which is already in its third consecutive quarter and has contributed to improve the price image of all the banners.

Important advances were presented in relation to selling and general and administrative expenses in the 1st quarter of 2007.

Excluding taxes and charges, the level of operating expenses in the quarter was 20.5%, down 80 bps in relation to the 21.3% recorded in 1Q06.

Total operating expenses, including taxes and charges, attained 21.2% of the net revenue in 1Q07, lower than the 21.9% of the net revenue recorded in the same period of 2006.

The period highlight was the 60 bps drop in sales expenses as a percentage of net sales, from 17.8% in 1Q06 to 17.2% in 1Q07.

Administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales registered a slight downslide in relation to the previous year, going from 3.5% in 1Q06 to 3.3% in 1Q07.

In absolute terms, selling expenses and administrative expenses presented lower growth rates than the increase of sales in the period (6.8%), amounting to 3.2% and 0.8% respectively.

This reduction of expenses as a percentage of net revenue is mainly due to the expense reduction programs implemented throughout 2006 and to the greater dilution of expenses in the period.

These programs will continue to produce results during 2007, causing expenses as a percentage of net sales (excluding taxes and rates) to reach the target of 20% in 2007.

The reduction of 190 bps in the gross margin was partially offset by the reduction of 70 bps in operating expenses, which led to an EBITDA margin of 6.6% in the first quarter of 2007, as opposed to 7.9% in the same period of 2006, a reduction of 130 bps.

(1) Totals may not tally as the figures are rounded off         

During the 1st quarter of 2007, financial expenses and revenues exhibited a decrease in comparison with the same period of the year 2006. Financial revenues in 1Q07 came to R$ 70.2 million, as opposed to R$ 101.7 million in 1Q06, representing a downslide of 31.0%. Three factors contributed toward this decrease: (i) lower average cash in 1Q07 in comparison with 1Q06, which was R$ 1,706.2 million and is currently R$ 1,069.1 million; (ii) lower interest rate in the period (average of 13.9% in 1Q07 versus 16.5% in 1Q06) and; (iii) increase in installment sales without interest. 

Financial expenses in the period amounted to R$ 131.4 million, 22.2% lower than the R$ 168.9 million recorded in the 1st quarter of 2006. This reduction is mainly due to the lower interest rate in the period, as commented on above. 

Net financial expenses attained R$ 61.2 million in the period, versus R$ 67.2 million in relation to the 1st quarter of 2006, a reduction of 8.9%.

Equity Income
Equity income result starts to show improvements in the period 

With a 12% share in the sale of the Group, FIC (Financeira Itaú CBD) recorded negative equity income of R$ 5.9 million in the 1st quarter of 2007, an improvement of 60.4% in relation to the R$14.8 million of 1Q06 and of 48.2% in relation to the R$ 11.3 million of 4Q06.

This improvement in FIC’s performance, which generated growth of 87% in the total revenues in the period, occurred on account of the following factors: (i) increase of the receivables portfolio (which totaled R$ 871.9 million, up 34.9% over the same prior-year period); (ii) increase of the supply of relationship products (insurance, personal loan and extended warranty); (iii) growth of the Company’s sales and; (iv) reduction of the credit loss levels.

The result of this quarter supports the forecast that the break-even point will be attained at the end of 2007. The number of customers of FIC attained 5.2 million in the quarter, with 3.8 million private label card holders.

Minority Interest: Sendas Distribuidora
Gross margin reflects more competitiveness in Rio de Janeiro 

In the 1st quarter of 2007, the gross sales of Sendas Distribuidora attained R$ 796.2 million, which represents 19.1% of the Group’s sales. Net sales amounted to R$ 693.9 million in the period. In spite of the improvement in the sales performance in relation to the previous year, sales in the period do not yet reflect investments in competitiveness implemented in the last few quarters.

Gross income amounted to R$ 177.3 million, with a gross margin of 25.6% . In comparison with the same prior-year period, the gross margin registered a downslide of 180 bps, reflecting the aggressive price strategy and the heated competition faced in Rio de Janeiro.

Although operating expenses presented a result that resembles that of the prior year (R$ 164.6 million in 1Q07 as opposed to R$ 163.9 million in 1Q06), the EBITDA margin was down 170 bps (1.8% in 1Q07 against 3.5% in 1Q06), due to the lower gross margin of the period.

Financial income exhibited a negative result of R$ 31.5 million in the period, significantly influencing the result of Sendas Distribuidora. Net loss for the quarter was R$ 38.6 million, generating a minority interest result of R$ 22.2 million for the Group.

We have performed a special review of the accompanying Quarterly Financial Information (“ITR”) of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição (“the Company”) and of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição and subsidiaries for the quarter and quarter ended March 31, 2007, including the balance sheets, statements of income, report on the Company’s performance and other significant information prepared by Company management, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil. The quarterly financial information of investees Pão de Açúcar Fundo de Investimento em Direitos Creditórios and Miravalles Empreendimentos e Participações S.A. for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 were reviewed by other independent auditors. Our special review report, insofar as it relates to the amounts of assets, liabilities and results of those investees, is based solely on the limited reviews of those independent auditors.
 
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 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 operations and financial position.
