Gross sales move up 6.9% year-on-year in June and 5.7% in the 2Q07

São Paulo, Brazil, July 16, 2007. Grupo Pão de Açúcar [NYSE: CBD; BOVESPA: PCAR4 (PN)] announces its sales performance for June and the second quarter of 2007 (unaudited preliminary figures). The information presented below was calculated based on consolidated figures and in Reais, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law.

     Grupo Pão de Açúcar recorded gross sales of R$ 1,340.6 million in June, 6.9% up year-on-year, while net sales moved up 7.4% to R$ 1,131.5 million.

     Same-store sales increased by 4.5% over the previous June in gross terms and 5.0% in net terms. Sales of food products (same store) moved up 5.7% year-on-year, even though the Company’s prices remained virtually flat between the two periods. Sales of non-food items climbed by only 0.8%, primarily due to the exceptionally strong comparative base provided by June/06 thanks to the World Cup.

     Second-quarter gross sales totaled R$ 4,205.5 million, 5.7% up on the 2Q06, while net sales increased by 6.4% to R$ 3,547.2 million. In the same period, gross and net same-store sales climbed 3.9% and 4.6%, respectively.

     Within the Company’s formats, the supermarkets benefited from more competitive prices, doing exceptionally well in the quarter chiefly due to food products, whose sales volume and average ticket both increased. The Extra division also maintained the sales and customer growth trajectory of the last few months. In addition, the quarterly performance ensured that the Group recorded gains in market share to the detriment of its competitors.

Note: Same stores sales figures include only stores with, at least, 12 months of operation.
* average growth in Mar/Apr: 4.5%
