“Same stores” sales up 4.8% in March and April

São Paulo, Brazil, May 15, 2008. Grupo Pão de Açúcar [NYSE: CBD; BOVESPA: PCAR4 (PN)] has announced its sales performance for April 2008 (preliminary, unaudited results). The information presented below was calculated based on the consolidated figures in Brazilian Reais according to the Corporate Legislation.

Gross sales totaled R$1,588.1 million in April 2008, up 6.1%, while net sales grew by 8.7%, totaling R$1,372.4 million.

As expected, sales performance in March and April was impacted by seasonality given that, in 2008, Easter took place in March, while in 2007, it was in April. In view of this, “same store” sales figure was calculated taking the two-month period (March and April) into account.

Thus, “same store” gross sales in the two-month period had a 4.8% increase, while net sales grew by 6.2% . In April, sales were impacted by the calendar effect and recorded a decrease in gross and net terms of 4.6% and 2.2%, respectively. According to our estimates, the calendar effect (Easter) represented an impact of 700 to 800 basis points. In the four-month period, in the “same store” concept, gross sales grew by 5.0% and net sales climbed 6.0% .

Food product sales grew by 2.8% in the “same store” concept in March and April. In the same period, non-food product sales recorded a positive performance of 10.9% in “same store” terms, driven by the electronic (“Mundo Entretenimento”) and general merchandise (“Mundo Casa”) sub-categories.


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.
