“Same store" sales presented 5.4% growth in February

São Paulo, Brazil, March 17, 2008. Grupo Pão de Açúcar [NYSE: CBD; BOVESPA: PCAR4 (PN)] announces its sales performance for February 2008 (preliminary unaudited). The information found below was calculated based on consolidated figures in Brazilian reais, in accordance with the current Corporate Legislation.

In February 2008 gross sales by Grupo Pão de Açúcar totaled R$ 1,549.0 million, a 16.4% increase as compared to February 2007, while net sales rose by 16.8% during the period and reached R$ 1,319.4 million.

Among the Group’s formats, Pão de Açúcar and CompreBem supermarkets once again were the highlights for the month. The Extra Fácil, Extra Perto and Extra.com banners also presented an expressive growth during the period.

In the “same store” concept, monthly sales grew by 5.4% in gross terms and by 5.8% in net terms. It is worth mentioning that this performance occurs even in the presence of a 4.2% growth reported in February of the previous year. In addition, this growth was partly influenced by the fact that February 2008 had one more business day than in 2007 (29 days as opposed to 28 days).

Among the categories, Non-food products showed the best increase, of 10.1% in the same store sales. This increase was basically fostered by the electronic (Mundo Entretenimento) and general merchandise (Mundo Casa) sub-categories, which recorded a double-digit increase in sales. Food products category maintained the same pace shown in the preceding months and provided a 3.9% growth as compared to February 2007.

Note: "Same store" sales include stores In operation for at least 12 months. As of November 2007 the "total sales" concept includes by the Assai stores.

These expectations are highly dependent on market changes, on the Brazilian economy’s performance in general, on business and on international markets, and therefore they are subject to change.
