To the Shareholders, Directors and Officers

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

São Paulo – SP – Brazil

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information, contained in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, comprising the statement of financial position as of March 31, 2020 and the related statements of profit or loss, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Accounting Pronouncement NBC TG 21 - Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the fair presentation of this information in conformity with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information Form (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review Engagements (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

 


 
 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NBC TG 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form (ITR), and presented consistently with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

 

 

Emphasis of matter

 

Restatement of corresponding figures

 

As mentioned in Note 4.1, due the adoption of the accounting pronouncement NBC TG 06 and IFRS 16 – Leases, the corresponding individual and consolidated figures related to the  interim financial information comprising the statements of profit or loss and cash flows  for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, presented for comparison purposes, were adjusted and restated as required by NBC TG 23 (Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Error Correction). Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

 

Other matters

 

 

Statements of value added

 

The abovementioned quarterly information include the individual and consolidated statements of value added (SVA) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020, prepared under the Company’s Management responsibility and presented as supplementary information by IAS 34. These statements have been subject to review procedures performed together with the review of the quarterly information, with the objective  to conclude whether they are reconciled to the interim financial information and the accounting records, as applicable, and if its format and content are in accordance with the criteria set forth by NBC TG 09 – Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, consistently with the overall individual and consolidated interim financial information.

São Paulo, May 13, 2020 – GPA [B3: PCAR3; NYSE: CBD] announces its results for the 1st quarter of 2020 (1Q20). All comparisons are with the same period in 2019, except where stated otherwise. In addition, starting from 2019, results include the effects of IFRS 16/CPC 06 (R2) – Leases, which eliminates the distinction between operating and financial leases and requires the recognition of a financial asset and liability related to future leases discounted at present value for virtually all lease agreements of our stores. GPA acquired 96.57% of the capital stock of Éxito on November 27, 2019 and hence Éxito’s results were fully consolidated in the 1Q20 results.

1Q20 EARNINGS RELEASE

 

Comments below refer to numbers before the application of IFRS 16, except unless otherwise indicated. The Grupo Éxito’s operations related to 1Q20 are included in GPA’s consolidated results. The variations vs 1Q19 are for comparison purposes only.

Operating and Financial Performance

Consolidated gross sales revenue of R$ 21.6 billion in 1Q20, +56.5% in total sales and +15.0% pro forma1, with strong growth across all operations of the group.

Currently, 17 Assaí stores (three conversions) are under construction. The plan is advancing consistently and the conversions of Extra Super stores into Mercado Extra and Pão de Açúcar into the G7 model should be concentrated towards the year-end, along with new store openings in the Pão Açúcar and Minuto Pão de Açúcar formats.

Likewise, we remain focused and increasingly firm in maintaining social actions in a more and more robust solidarity network. We continue to work to that our customers in Brazil and South America have access to the products they need, making their purchases in safety, and the 1Q20 results assure us that we are on the right direction.”

I. OPERATING PERFORMANCE BY BUSINESS

Assaí

 

1Q20

 

Gross sales revenue grew by over R$1.6 billion, totaling R$8.5 billion in the quarter. The strong growth of 23.8% was driven by the successful expansion of 40 stores in the last 24 months, which already account for 25% of total sales of the banner. The banner gained over 2.5 million new clients and reported

higher sales volume and increase in same-store sales of 7.1%.  In the quarter, one Assaí store was opened in the state of Pernambuco, the 167th of the banner, in line with the strategy of expanding its stores in other regions of Brazil.

Currently, 17 Assaí stores (three conversions) are under construction, confirming the banner’s ongoing expansion plan.

Gross profit came to R$1.2 billion, with margin of 15.6% (30 bps higher than in 1Q19), due to: (i) the accelerated maturation of the recent expansion, (ii) the adequate level of competitiveness in the quarter, with reduced promotional activity in the last two weeks of March, (iii) the higher participation of individual consumers in total sales (which reached 70% in 1Q20 vs. approximately 50% before the pandemic) and (iv) the lower participation of business clients in total sales.

For one more quarter, the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was lower than the increase in sales revenue, corresponding to 9.2% of net sales revenue (down 30 bps. from 1Q19), due to consistent and rigorous control of expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA maintained the consistent growth observed in recent quarters, growing 33.6% to R$503 million, with margin of 6.4% in 1Q20 (up 50 bps. from 1Q19), reflecting the increase in gross margin and control of expenses.

 

 

24


 
 

Multivarejo

1Q20

Gross revenue totaled R$7.3 billion in 1Q20 (+6.1% vs. 1Q19), driven by the maturation of renovated and converted stores, as well as the implementation of successful commercial strategies and higher purchases by clients during the second half of March due to the pandemic scenario. Food e-commerce also contributed positively to business evolution, growing 82%, corresponding to 3% of Multivarejo's revenues and 7% of Pão de Açúcar revenues. Sales grew across all banners, with formats demonstrably better adapted to the demands of consumers. Same-store sales grew 6.6% in the period.

Gross profit was R$1.7 billion, with margin of 25.1% (up 110 bps from 4Q19), demonstrating better commercial management and greater operational efficiency. Since early February, an in-depth revision of the category mix and product mix was carried out, which resulted in: (i) optimization of the pricing model, (ii) reduction of the need for investments in promotions, (iii) improvement in negotiations and higher penetration of private-label (which currently account for 14% of Multivarejo sales). Initiatives were also implemented to reduce shrinkage level (-40 bps vs. 4Q19), through greater integration of store supply practices.

Selling, general and administrative expenses declined sharply by 5.7% from 1Q19 (significant decrease of 240 bps as a percentage of net sales revenue), demonstrating the continuous discipline in controlling and reducing expenses, without any impact on the service offered. Most of the savings in the quarter were concentrated in marketing, maintenance, IT and corporate expenses. It is worth mentioning that the maturation of renovated and converted stores also contributed to a higher dilution of expenses through significant sales growth during the period.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$485 million, with margin of 7.2% (up 100 bps from 4Q19), reflecting the strong recovery of sales growth, as well as the excellent management to reduce and control expenses, despite the formidable challenges related to the pandemic.

Digital Ecosystem

          The e-commerce operation registered 82% growth in the quarter, considering all delivery models. The Express model was implemented in 130 stores (vs. 77 stores in 1Q19), growing 86% when compared to 1Q19 and currently is present in 260 stores. “Click & Collect” was implemented in 125 stores, with growth of 129%.  Two new dedicated distribution centers were opened in the quarter to sustain the accelerated growth of the operation. The “paodeacucar.com” and “clubeextra.com.br” websites registered growth of 76% in customers and 150% in number of accesses compared to 1Q19, and online sales already account for 3% of gross sales revenue at Multivarejo and 7% at Pão de Açúcar, consolidating and strengthening the Company’s leadership position in the online food segment.

 

          GPA’s loyalty apps totaled more than 12 million downloads, accounting for a significant share, reaching 3.3 million unique Monthly Active Users (MAU), up 30% from 1Q19. Sales originated by the “Pão de Açúcar Mais” and “Clube Extra” apps already represent around 50% of total sales in the e-commerce operation. Moreover, “Stix Fidelidade” is still under development and is currently prospecting business partners that will further strengthen the program.

 

         James Delivery ended the quarter serving 19 cities (currently it already serves 25 cities and is active in 134 stores), and has registered 2.5 million downloads. James Delivery registered a sales growth of 8 times in comparison with 1Q19, accompanied by a 130% increase in average ticket. GMV registered a robust growth of 42 times in the retail vertical, due to (i) the maturation of the regions served,  (ii) the higher physical and technological integration with Multivarejo, (iii) partnerships with the Raia Drogasil and Iguatemi chains. We continue to develop new solutions through the app and, in April, we launched “James Prime,” a model that can receiver a higher number of orders per client.

 

         The foodtech Cheftime continued to register average monthly growth of over 40%. In 1Q20, we concluded the renovation of its production center (expanding the pizza, esfiha and meals categories), redesigned the production of sushi at stores and improved the digital experience with a new sales model: delivery restaurants/dark kitchens in the James Delivery app, delivering ready-to-eat meals prepared at stores located in strategic areas.

Grupo Éxito

GPA acquired 96.57% of the capital stock of Grupo Éxito on November 27, 2019. Therefore, Grupo Éxito’s results are being considered in Consolidated GPA only in 1Q20. Growth and variation figures in relation to 1Q19 are merely for comparison purposes.

Gross sales totaled R$5.7 billion in 1Q20, with significant growth of 14.5% in total sales and same-store sales grew 12.1%, confirming the positive trend observed in recent quarters, with growth across all formats and regions. The quarterly highlights were the strong performance by Colombia, driven by the Éxito Anniversary Campaign and higher sales volume in the second half of March, the increase in sales in both Uruguay, which had an excellent tourist season, and in Argentina, which reported sales growth above inflation despite a challenging economic scenario in the country.

Gross profit was R$1.2 billion, up 5.6% from 1Q19, with margin of 24.4%, which is an extremely healthy for the group’s retail operations in all the countries where it operates. Gross margin decreased 210 bps compared to the pro forma in the same period last year, mainly due to the accounting reclassifications made in 1Q20 between the Selling, General and Administrative Expenses lines and costs, as well as the lower contribution from complementary businesses, which had a different commercial dynamic due to Covid-19, as well as the need for more promotional efforts in Uruguay and Argentina. 

Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 945 million, up 7.1% from 1Q19, equivalent to 18.5% of net sales (vs. 19.9% in 1Q19), reflecting the same impact of accounting reclassifications in 1Q20. Even if we excluded this effect, expenses would have declined as a percentage of net sales, demonstrating the continuous efforts to control and reduce expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA totaled R$289 million (-5.8% vs. 1Q19), with significative margin of 5.7%, reflecting the above factors.

 

27


 
 

II. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES   

 

Other Income and Expenses came to an expense of R$273 million, mainly related to the following: (i) expenses with the integration of Latin America assets and restructuring of Brazilian operations (closures and conversions); (ii) tax contingencies; and (iii) non-recurring impacts to meet increased demand in all operations on account of the pandemic scenario.

 

We expect the possible assets monetization, earlier mentioned in this report, to positively impact this line over the coming quarters so that it remains stable level at the end of the year in comparison with the previous year.

 

 

III. FINANCIAL RESULT

 

 

Net financial result of GPA Consolidated was R$426 million, equivalent to 2.2% of net sales. Due to the adoption of IFRS 16, the financial result now includes Interest on lease liability, which totaled R$212 million in the quarter. Considering the net financial result without the effect of Interest on lease liability, amounting to R$ 214 million, the main variations were:

        Financial income: increase of R$ 47 million from 1Q19; mainly due to the higher average cash balance invested;

        Financial expenses (including the cost of receivables discount): increase of R$ 91 million from 1Q19, due to higher interest expenses caused by the increase in gross debt with the acquisition of Grupo Éxito;

        Net effect of exchange variation: increase of R$ 33 million from 1Q19; resulting in an expanse of R$ 28 million, mainly due to the sharp devaluation of the Brazilian real and Colombian peso on the company’s imports.

 

28


 
 

IV. NET INCOME

 

 

Consolidated GPA ended 1Q20 with a net loss of controlling shareholders of R$ 130 million, mainly explained by a greater depreciation with the Grupo Éxito’s consolidation and a higher cost of debt (impact of R$ 92 million on the financial result with the restructuring and optimization of Latin America operations).

Excluding the impact of other income and expenses, GPA Consolidated would have registered net income of R$ 65 million in 1Q20.

 

 

29


 
 

V. NET DEBT

 

In order to calculate the indicators in the table below, the Company does not consider the lease liabilities related to IFRS 16.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA before IFRS 16 in the last 12 months.

 

Net debt adjusted by the balance of unsold receivables totaled R$ 10.8 billion for GPA Consolidated, equivalent to 2.5 times net debt/adjusted EBITDA(1), mainly reflecting the funding operation for the acquisition of Grupo Éxito. The higher leverage is in line with the Company’s plan and remains at an adequate level.

The Company ended 1Q20 with a solid financial position of R$ 6.1 billion in cash, equivalent to 120% of its short-term gross debt (vs. 103% in 1Q19). Moreover, the balance of unsold receivables totaled R$ 433 million, and we further strengthened cash balance through a new credit line contracted at the end of April, for a total of R$ 500 million, with a two-year maturity, demonstrating an adequate level of liquidity in view of the Company's future obligations.

It is also worth mentioning the subsequent event to the quarter, regarding the distribution of dividends by Grupo Éxito in the amount of R$ 1.2 billion, which will be used to amortize debt.

The Company can use the strong operating cash flow, as well as the potential monetization of other non-core assets such as land and buildings, amounting to R$ 3.3 billion, and other opportunities for divesting its interest in subsidiaries to reduce its leverage in the future.

 

 

30


 
 

VI. INVESTMENTS

 

In 1Q20, investments in Brazil totaled R$ 591.3 million, net of asset sales, which went to the expansion of an Assaí store, a Minuto Pão de Açúcar store and a gas station.

Investments in Grupo Éxito totaled R$ 81.7 million, with the opening of two Surtimayorista stores (cash and carry model that already has 32 stores and registered 14% sales growth in the quarter).

 

VII. STORE PORTFOLIO CHANGES BY BANNER - BRAZIL

 

 

 

The Company reaffirms its plan for expansion, conversion and renovation of stores. However, in light of the new coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, works could be postponed.

 

 

31


 
 

VIII. Coronavirus (Covid-19)

          Key measures implemented (March 14 to 31): (i) partnership with industry to guarantee the supply of basic and essential products to people; (ii) 15% increase in stocks of essential products; (iii) maintenance of the pricing policy and scale-down in promotional efforts to maintain adequate level of products on store shelves; (iv) special credit for clients to purchase food products; (v)  adaptation of store hours; (vi) safety/precautionary measures adopted for clients and employees; (vii) increase in the number of stores serving the Express model; (viii) inauguration of two new e-stores; (ix) integration of James Delivery operation with websites and apps; (x) around 5,000 temporary workers hired; (xi) solidarity actions in the form of donation of food, hygiene and cleaning products.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

 

Notes to the interim financial information

March 31, 2020

(In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

Accordingly, the Company carried out a complete analysis of the quarterly information, in addition to renewing the analyzes on the Company's operational continuity. The main themes evaluated were:

·         There were no impacts on revenues, and other lines of results, compared to the Company's budgets that would lead to the revaluation of asset impairment tests;

·         We assessed the realization of the balances of accounts receivable from credit card operators, customers, galleries in our stores, real estate rentals and understand that there is no need at this time to record additional provisions to those already registered;

·         As for inventories, we do not foresee the need for adjustment for realization;

·         Financial instruments already reflect the market assumptions in their valuation, and there are no additional exposures not disclosed in this quarterly information. The Company is not exposed to significant financing in US dollars; and

·         Finally, the Company does not, for the moment, foresee any additional needs for obtaining financing at the time of the crisis.

In summary, according to management's estimates and monitoring the impacts of the pandemic, there are no effects that should be recorded in the Company's quarterly information, nor are there any effects on the Company's continuity and / or estimates that would justify changes in the conclusions of this information quarterly.

Notes to the interim financial information

March 31, 2020

(In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

The information referring to the basis of consolidation, did not change significantly compared to that disclosed in the 2019 annual financial statements, in note 12.

3.     Significant accounting policies

The significant accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information are consistent with those adopted and disclosed on Note 3 and each corresponding note of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and therefore should be read in conjunction.

 

4.     Adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations of standards issued by the CPC and published standards

 

4.1.   Presentation of the retrospective effects of CPC 06 (R2)/IFRS 16 and Circular Letter SEP/nº2/2019

 

As disclosed in the Financial Statement for the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company opted for the adoption of the full retrospective approach as a transition method on January 1, 2019, with effects from the beginning of the first practicable period and, consequently, the comparative periods were restated considering: (i) use of the nominal incremental rate; (ii) present value of cash flows of full lease payments, without any exclusion of recoverable taxes (iii) term of improvements in third-party properties in which significant improvements were considered individually by contract on the decision to extend the contractual term reasonably certain.

According to the IFRIC meeting on November 26, 2019 on the lease agreement term and the amortization period for the improvements, the Company reassessed its assumptions about the extension of the lease agreements and restated the statements of income for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 and cash flows for the same period to allow comparison with the interim financial information presented on March 31, 2020.

5.     Main accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements of the Company requires Management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the year; however, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require material adjustments to the carrying amount of the asset or liability impacted in future periods.

The significant assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information for the quarter ended on March 31, 2020 were the same as those adopted in the individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

For credits that cannot be offset immediately, the Company’s Management understands that in future realization is probable based on a technical recovering study, on the expectation of future growth and the offset against debts deriving from its operations. These studies were prepared and periodically revised based on information extracted from strategic planning previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of March 31, 2020, Management has implemented monitoring controls over the progress of the plan annually established, assessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of ICMS tax credits, as shown above.

The Company ceased to exercise control over Via Varejo during the month of June 2019. As of March 31, 2020, certain relationships previously existing between the Company and Via Varejo were in force when it was part of the Group and was a related party, mainly i) Guarantees and sureties granted by the Company to guarantee obligations in operational agreements under the responsibility of Via Varejo, with maturities and performance terms to be met by that company over time, in the amount of up to R $ 2 billion, with the Company and Via Varejo maintains discussions for the respective substitutions, as provided for in agreements signed between the parties, ii) Operational agreement on the use of GPA brands used by Via Varejo, iii) shareholdings held, respectively, by GPA, Via Varejo and Itaú Unibanco in Financeira Itaú CBD SA Credit, Financing and Investment (“FIC”), and iv) Maintenance of s guarantee obligations on the part of the Company regarding legal proceedings prior to the acquisition of Globex in 2010, as disclosed in Note 21.6, when Globex merged with Casas Bahia in the same year. Said guarantee obligation will continue as long as the processes covered by such guarantee have not ended.

13.    Business Combinations and Goodwil

Information regarding the business combination and goodwill was disclosed in the 2019 annual financial statements, in note 13.

13.1.    Acquisition of Almacenes Éxito - Colombia

On June 26, 2019, following a recommendation from the Company's controlling shareholder, it was presented to the GPA Board of Directors a transaction through which GPA launched a tender offer over the shares of Grupo Exito aiming at the simplification of the structure of the Casino in Latin America, a significant improvement in governance of the Company and an increase in the basis of potential investors.

The transactions under common control are not provided for in IFRS, Company evaluated the purpose of the transaction, which did not have a purpose of merely corporate reorganization, which have been treated at cost historically by the Company, but the acquisition of Éxito Group differed from a reorganization because it had a commercial substance, being carried out at market value validated by evaluation committees, involved a public offering launched by GPA, through its subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora SA (“Sendas”), to acquire, in cash, up to the totality of  Éxito’s shares, a listed company located in Colombia. Due to the economic substance, the Company has elected an accounting policy election and recorded this transaction as a business combination pursuant to CPC 15R/IFRS 3R.

The transaction also involved the acquisition by Casino of the Éxito’s indirect equity interest in GPA at the price of R$113 reais per share; and the migration of GPA to the Novo Mercado, B3's highest governance segment, with the conversion of all GPA preferred shares into common shares at a 1 to 1 ratio.

On July 23, 2019, a material fact informed that the Board of Directors of GPA, based on the favorable recommendation from the Special Independent Committee and within range of price originally endorsed by GPA's executive board, proposing that its operational subsidiary Sendas Distribuidora to launch a tender offer, in cash, to acquire up to all of the shares of Éxito, for the price of 18,000 Colombian pesos per share (equivalent to R$21.68 reais on the date of purchase).

Continuing the transaction, on September 12, 2019, the Board of Directors and the Éxito’s general shareholders' meeting approved the sale of its indirect equity interest in GPA to Casino in the terms disclosed.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

 

Notes to the interim financial information

March 31, 2020

(In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

Since in this transaction the Company was exposed to Colombian pesos (“COP”) during the tender offer period, on July 24, 2019, the financial committee approved the realization of a cash flow hedge, via NDFs (Non Deliverable Forward), to mitigate this exposure (see note 18).

On November 27, 2019, the tender offer was settled, and shareholders representing 96.57% of Éxito's capital stock accepted the terms proposed. This adhesion represented a disbursement by Sendas of 7,780 billion Colombian pesos, amount equivalent to R$9.5 billion (taking into account the exchange rate of December 31, 2019). On the same date, previously to the settlement of the tender offer, subsidiaries of Casino acquired all of the shares of GPA held directly and indirectly by Éxito for the price, net of debt, of US$1,161 million (equivalent to R$4.9 billion based on the exchange rate on the date of the transaction).

Context of the acquisition

Almacenes Éxito S.A. operates more than 650 stores in Colombia, Uruguay and Argentina, in addition to shopping centers, having also a significant investment in a loyalty and financial company, in addition to its own brands with successful participation.

The Company started to consolidate Éxito's as of December 1, 2019, when it obtained control of the company, consolidating one month of profit or losses in the Statement of operations. Net sales were R$2,151 in the month of December 2019 and net income was R$71. If Éxito had been consolidated as of January 1, 2019, the contribution to the statement of operations would have been R$18,388 on net sales and R$178 on net income from continuing operations.

Determination of the consideration transferred by the acquisition

The amounts were transferred in cash in the net amount of R$9,413 this amount is already net of cash flow hedge made to protect the exchange variation between Reais and Colombian pesos of part of the price between the beginning and the end of the offer in the amount of R$145, and dividends (R$42) related to the year of 2018 whose payment was scheduled for January 2020.

18.2. Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments

According to the Management’s assessment, the most probable scenario is what the market has been estimating through market curves (currency and interest rates) of B3, on the maturity dates of each transaction.

Therefore, in the probable scenario (I), there is no impact on the fair value of financial instruments. For scenarios (II) and (III), for the sensitivity analysis effect, according to CVM rules, a deterioration of 25% and 50% was taken into account, respectively, on risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments.

For the probable scenario, weighted exchange rate was R$5.26 on the due date, and the weighted interest rate weighted was 3.23% per year.

In case of derivative financial instruments (aiming at hedging the financial debt), changes in scenarios are accompanied by respective hedges, indicating effects are not significant.

The Company disclosed the net exposure of the derivatives financial instruments, corresponding to financial instruments and certain financial instruments in the sensitivity analysis table below, to each of the scenarios mentioned.

21.3. Tax

As per prevailing legislation, tax claims are subject to monetary indexation, which refers to an adjustment to the provision based on tax to the indexation rates used by each tax jurisdiction. In all cases, both the interest charges and fines, when applicable, were computed and fully provisioned with respect to unpaid amounts.

The main provisioned tax claims are as follows:

ICMS

The Federal Supreme Court ("STF") on October 16, 2014 decided that ICMS taxpayers that trade products included in the “basked of food staples” have no right to fully utilize the ICMS credits. The Company, with the assistance of its legal counsel, decided to record a provision for this matter amounting to R$49 as of March 31, 2020 (R$50 as of December 31, 2019) since this claim was considered a “probable” loss. The amounts accrued represent Management’s best estimate of the probable cash disbursement to settle this claim. On May 9, 2019, the STF upheld the previous understanding and did not comply with the request for modulation of the effects of the decision. However, such a decision did not have a major impact on the Company's financial information, since the amount was already provisioned in its entirety.

Additionally, there are cases assessed by São Paulo State tax authorities related to the refund of ICMS over tax substitution without proper compliance with accessory tax obligations introduced by CAT Administrative Rule 17. Considering recent court decisions occurred in 2020, the Company accrued R$272 (R$268 in December 31, 2019) representing the best estimation of probable loss evaluated by management based on documentation evidence aspect of the claims.

The cost of guarantees (letters of guarantee and guarantee insurance) is approximately 0.55% per year of the amount of the lawsuits and is recorded as expense.

21.9. Deduction of ICMS from the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS

Since the adoption of the non cumulative regime to calculate PIS and COFINS, the Group has challenged the right to deduct ICMS taxes from the calculation basis for PIS and COFINS. On March 15, 2017, the Supreme Court ruled that ICMS should be excluded from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS.

Since the decision of the Supreme Court on March 15, 2017, the proceedings have been brought forward by our legal advisors without any change in management's judgment, but without the final decision on the appeal filed by the prosecution. The Company and its advisors estimate that the decision on this appeal will not limit the right of the lawsuit filed by the Company, however, the elements of the lawsuit are still pending decision and do not allow the recognition of assets related to the credits to be raised since filing of the lawsuit in 2003. The subsidiaries that had the final and unappealable process recorded in 2019 the amount of R$368, of which R$176 in the financial result. The Company also estimates the potential value of the credits in the amount of R$1,198.

21.10.         Arbitration Península

On September 12, 2017, the Company received a notice from the Brazil-Canada Chamber of Commerce regarding a request for arbitration (“Proceeding”) filed by Banco Ourinvest S.A., a financial institution, in its capacity as fund manager and acting in the exclusively interest of the quotaholders of Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário Península ("Península and the “Proceeding").

The Proceeding aims to discuss the calculation of the rental fees and other operational matters related to the stores owned by Peninsula, which are under several lease agreements and contracts entered into between the Company and Peninsula during 2005 (the "Agreements"). The Agreements assure to CBD the rent of the stores for a period of twenty (20) years, which may be extended for an additional 20-year term, at CBD’s discretion, and rules the calculation of the rental fees.

The Proceeding refers to certain terms and conditions of the Agreements and does not affect the continuity of the leasing of the stores, which are contractually assured. The amounts on which the Company is exposed can not be determined with reasonable certainty based on the current stage of the arbitral process. Management assessed the arbitration as possible loss, based on the opinion provided by the external legal counsel.
