In the third quarter, Grupo Pão de Açúcar (GPA) concluded the conversion of the CompreBem and Sendas stores into the Extra, Pão de Açúcar and Assaí formats. This process, which began 18 months ago, absorbed around R$230.0 million in investments and involved modernizing 221 stores, 93 of which were converted in 3Q11 alone. Of these converted stores, 188 became Extra Supermercado, 20 Extra Hipermercado, 10 Pão de Açúcar and 3 Assaí.
These conversions are part of the business model defined in the last two years that meets the new consumer needs arising from the socio-economic changes, the upturn in the per capita earnings and the changes in the consumer profile of each former CompreBem and Sendas operational micro region. This model focuses on expanding the perishables sections, especially frozen food, fruit and vegetables, meat and dairy products.
In the third quarter, GPA Food posted gross sales of R$6.834 billion, 9.7% up on 3Q10, while net sales came to R$6.159 billion, up by 10.1%.
Excluding 2010 sales by Extra Eletro, whose operations were transferred to Globex in November of that year 2010, GPA Food’s gross and net sales grew by 11.8% and 12.3% year-on-year, respectively.
On a same store basis, gross sales moved up by 8.5% and net sales by 8.9%. In real terms, i.e. deflated by the IPCA(2) consumer price, gross sales climbed by 1.2%. Also on a same-store basis, gross food sales increased by 8.2% over 3Q10, with perishables climbing by 9.6%, while non-food sales grew by 9.3%, led by gas stations (+14.5%) and electronics/household appliances (+12.6%).
The Group’s best-performing formats were Extra Supermercado and Assaí, which posted gross same-store sales growth of more than 15.0%.
(2)Like ABRAS (the Brazilian Supermarket Association), Grupo Pão de Açúcar has adopted the IPCA consumer price index as its inflation indicator, since it gives a more accurate reflection of the Company’s product and brand mix. The IPCA in the 12 months through totaled 7.31%.
2/22
In the first nine months, gross sales amounted to R$20.402 billion, 8.2% up on the same period last year, while net sales totaled R$18.371 billion, up by 8.4%.
In same-store terms, gross sales climbed by 7.7%, while net sales moved up by 8.0%. Still on a same-store basis, gross food sales increased by 7.6%, while gross non-food sales grew by 8.0%.

In the third quarter, GPA Food’s gross profit totaled R$1.625 billion, 11.9% up year-on-year, accompanied by a gross margin of 26.4%, 40 bps more than in 3Q10. This result was mainly due to the conclusion of the conversion of the CompreBem and Sendas stores, mostly into the Extra Supermercado format, as well as the improved product mix in the other formats.
The distinct nature of the Extra Supermercado business model, which has higher value-added categories, also contributed to the gross margin improvement.
In the first nine months, gross profit totaled R$4.731 billion, 11.2% up year-on-year, accompanied by a gross margin of 25.7%, 60 bps more than in 9M10.

In GPA Consolidated, all comparisons were impacted by the consolidation of Casas Bahia’s results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, which were not included in the same periods in 2010.
In the third quarter of 2011, consolidated EBITDA totaled R$722.0 million, 46.5% up year-on-year, with a margin of 6.5%, 40 bps down on 3Q10, due to the consolidation of Globex, whose margin is lower (5.4%).
It is worth noting, however, that Globex’s EBITDA has been increasing steadily, having climbed from 3.3% in 1Q11 to 4.5% in 2Q11 and 5.4% in 3Q11, chiefly due to commercial efficiency gains.
In the first nine months, consolidated EBITDA totaled R$1.946 billion, 49.2% up year-on-year, accompanied by a margin of 5.9%, 30 bps less than in 9M10.

In the third quarter, the financial result was a net expense of R$167.2 million, equivalent to 2.7% of net sales, in line with the previous quarter, and was the result of the following factors:
(i) interest on the net bank debt totaling R$84.2 million, corresponding to 1.3% of net sales, higher than the 1.1% recorded in 2Q11, due to the upturn in the SELIC base rate from 2.8% to 3.0%, and the increase in the net debt, which is presented in the next section.
(ii) discounted receivables cost of R$34.1 million, equivalent to 0.6% of net sales, identical to the 2Q11 ratio.
(iii) other assets and liabilities restated by the CDI interbank rate totaling R$48.9 million, or 0.8% of net sales, 20 bps down on the 1.0% of net sales recorded in 2Q11.
The 3Q11 net financial expense increased by 70.5% over the expense of R$98.1 million reported in 3Q10, reflecting the higher SELIC and the upturn in the net debt, the latter being chiefly due to: (i) the payment of Ponto Frio’s acquisition, (ii) acquisition of the remaining 40% of Assaí; and (iii) GPA’s capital injection into Globex through the association with Casas Bahia.
In the first nine months, the net financial result was an expense of R$495.2 million, equivalent to 2.7% of net sales.
