INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT ON INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição ("Company"), identified as Parent and Consolidated, respectively, which comprise the individual and consolidated balance sheet as at December 31, 2022, and the related individual and consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the individual and consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição as of December 31, 2022, and its individual and consolidated financial performance and its individual and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRSs, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements set out in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and the professional standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council ("CFC"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and, therefore, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Discontinued operations - Discontinuation of Hypermarket Format and Planned Distribution of Subsidiary Éxito to Shareholders

Why it is a KAM

As disclosed in notes 1.1, 32 and 33 to the individual and consolidated financial statements, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed its plan for the discontinuation of its hypermarket format that included the closure, sale or conversion of store locations previously operating under the Extra Hiper banner. The Company recorded a pre-tax net gain of R$1,564 million related to the plan during the year ended December 31, 2022, and the results of the Extra Hiper operations have been presented as discontinued operations in the individual and consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

Additionally, as disclosed in notes 1.2, 32 and 33 to the individual and consolidated financial statements, during the 2nd semester of 2022 the Company announced its intentions and plans for the divestiture of its subsidiary Almacenes Éxito S.A. ("Éxito"), which includes the distribution of approximately 83% of Éxito shares currently held by the Company to its shareholders. At December 31, 2022, the Company had recorded R$7,336 million of investment in subsidiaries and R$227 million of liabilities related to Éxito as held for distribution in its individual balance sheet, and R$20,809 million of total assets and R$11,487 million of total liabilities related to Éxito as held for distribution in its consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, beginning December 2022, the results of operations of Éxito have been presented as discontinued operations in the individual and consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

We identified the accounting for discontinued operations as a critical audit matter because of (i) the complexity and significance of the amounts involved; (ii) the significant judgments made by Management in determining the appropriate accounting treatment for the transaction as held-for-sale/distribution and the timing of recognition as discontinued operations, in accordance with IFRS 5/CPC 31 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as well as the amounts and timing of the accounting for associated gains, costs and expenses; and (iii) the non-routine process and judgements used by Management to compile historical financial data for discontinued operations presentation. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of Management's accounting conclusions, and the related presentation and disclosure in the individual and consolidated financial statements.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures included, among others:

•	We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of the relevant internal controls related to the identification and treatment of significant unusual transactions, including those specifically related to discontinued operations.

•

We evaluated the appropriateness of the application of the criteria for reporting assets and liabilities as held for sale / distribution and of discontinued operations, including Management's judgements, by inspecting and discussing Management's supporting documentation and technical accounting memorandum, reading of Board of Directors meeting minutes, reading and evaluating underlying contracts and other entity information, including evaluation for contrary evidence based on our understanding of the business.

4

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2022

•	We tested the net gain recognized in discontinued operations, including:

o	Testing the existence and valuation of cash proceeds;

o

Inspecting the related sale agreements to obtain an understanding of the assets and liabilities included in the scope of the sales transaction and testing the completeness and accuracy of the assets and liabilities included in the gain calculation on a sample basis by comparing amounts to the Company's accounting records;

o	Testing the measurement, completeness and accuracy of costs and expenses related to the transaction; and

o	Testing the tax effects of the sale.

•	With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we tested the valuation of the Éxito assets and liabilities held for distribution, including assessing the reasonableness of the Company's valuation methodology and the significant assumptions used in determining fair value less costs to distribute.

•	We evaluated the presentation and disclosures, including earnings per share and cash flows in the individual and consolidated financial statements.

Based on the evidence obtained through our audit procedures described above, we consider that Management's accounting treatment adopted in the transactions described above and the respective disclosures in explanatory notes are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Recoverability of ICMS and PIS/COFINS tax credits

Why it is a KAM

As described in note 10 to the individual and consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2022, the Company had recoverable ICMS tax credits amounting to R$856 million and PIS/COFINS tax credits amounting to R$2,253 million, whose recoverability depends on the generation of sufficient amounts of suitable taxes payable in the future. In assessing the recoverability of these tax credits, Management uses projections of revenues, costs and expenses, as well as other information used in estimating the timing and nature of the future amounts of taxes payable, which are based on estimates and assumptions as to future business performance and market conditions, as well as expectations as to applicable tax regulations.

Auditing the recoverability of these tax credits was considered especially challenging due to: (i) the magnitude of amounts involved; and (ii) the high degree of complexity involved in the Brazilian indirect tax legislation (both State and Federal) and in Management's assessment process, which requires significant judgment by Management and includes significant assumptions in the estimation of the timing and amounts of future taxes payable that could be affected by future market or economic conditions and events.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures included, among others:

5

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2022

•

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and implementation and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls over Management's assessment of the recoverability of these tax credits, including relevant internal controls over projections prepared by Management and approved by those charged with governance, used in the recoverability assessment.

•	We evaluated the significant assumptions used by Management in its recoverability assessment and tested the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions.

•	With the assistance of our tax specialists, we evaluated the application of tax laws and special tax regimes used in the recoverability assessment.

•	We tested the data used by Management in determining the recorded amounts for recoverable tax credits, comparing inputs to internal data and testing the accuracy and completeness of calculations.

•	We evaluated the related disclosures in the financial statements.

Based on the evidence obtained through our audit procedures described above, we consider that the recoverability of these tax credits and related disclosures in the notes are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Provisions and Tax contingencies

Why it is a KAM

As described in note 21 to the individual and consolidated financial statements, the Company and its subsidiaries are party to a significant number of administrative and legal proceedings arising from various tax claims and assessments. Based on the opinions and with the support of its internal and external legal counsel, Management assesses the likelihood of loss related to these tax claims and assessments, and records provisions when the likelihood of loss is assessed as probable and the amounts can be estimated. As of December 31, 2022, Management has recorded provisions in the amount of R$1,761 million. Additional claims and assessments of R$12,459 million were outstanding as of December 31, 2022, for which no provision was recorded. The Company is also contingently liable under indemnification agreements for certain other tax claims and assessments of divested subsidiary operations, as well subject to be reimbursed from its controlling shareholders for certain tax assessment, totaling R$3,650 million, for which no provision was recorded. Management uses significant judgment in evaluating the merits of each claim and assessment and in evaluating the likelihood and potential amounts of loss, considering the complexity of the Brazilian tax environment and legislation, including existence and interpretation of applicable jurisprudence and case law.

Auditing Management's assessment of the likelihood of loss on tax claims was considered especially challenging due to: (i) the complexity involved in the evaluation and interpretation of applicable tax legislation, case law, and applicable jurisprudence, which requires a high degree of judgment applied by Management and the assistance of the Company's external counsel; (ii) the amounts involved and the significant estimate uncertainty related to the ultimate outcome and timing of court decisions; and (iii) the additional audit efforts, which include the involvement of our tax specialists.

6

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2022

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures included, among others:

•

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and implementation, and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls over the identification and evaluation of tax claims and assessments, including the assumptions and technical merits of tax positions used in the evaluation of the likelihood of loss, as well as the processes to measure, record and disclose the amounts related to tax contingencies.

•	We read and obtained an understanding on indemnification agreements entered by the Company.

•	We tested the completeness of the tax contingencies subject to evaluation by the Company.

•	With the assistance of our tax specialists, we evaluated Management's assessment of the likelihood and estimate of loss for a sample of material tax contingencies, which included:

-

Obtaining an understanding and evaluating Management's judgments, the technical merits and documentation supporting Management's assessment, including reading and evaluating tax opinions or other third-party tax advice obtained from the Company's external tax and legal counsel.

-

Inspecting and evaluating the responses to external confirmations sent to key external tax and legal advisers of the Company.

-

Challenging Management's assessment using our knowledge of, and experience with, the application of tax laws and developments in the applicable regulatory and tax environments.

-

Testing the assumptions, underlying data and accuracy of the calculation of the amounts related to recorded tax provisions and disclosed tax contingencies.

-

Obtaining written representations from executives of the Company.

•	We also evaluated the related disclosures in the financial statements.

Based on the evidence obtained through our audit procedures described above, we consider that Management's assessment of the likelihood of loss on tax claims and related disclosures in the notes are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Other matters

Statements of value added

The individual and consolidated statements of value added ("DVAs") for the year ended December 31, 2022, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's Management and presented as supplemental information for purposes of the IFRSs, were subject to audit procedures performed together with the audit of the Company's financial statements. In forming our opinion, we assess whether these statements are reconciled with the other financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set out in technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, these statements of value added were appropriately prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set out in such technical pronouncement and are consistent in relation to the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2022

Other information accompanying the individual and consolidated financial statements and the independent auditor's report

Management is responsible for such other information. The other information comprises the Management Report.

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement in the Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and those charged with governance for the individual and consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's and its subsidiaries' financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

8

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2022

·

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

·	Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

·	Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

·

Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

·	Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

·

Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide to those charged with governance a statement that we have complied with the relevant ethical requirements, including independence requirements, and communicate all relationships or matters that could considerably affect our independence, including, when applicable, the related safeguards.

9

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Consolidated Financial Statements Year ended December 31, 2022

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report, unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.

Message from Management

The year 2022 was a year of consolidation of the guidelines for the "New GPA", a company that emerged as a resultof the decision to close the hypermarket model, now focusing on premium supermarket operations, proximity stores, and multichannel. It was a year dedicated to revisiting our strategy, reviewing internal structures and processes, and initiating a turnaround work, which is still ongoing, with the aim of resuming our position as a reference in the premium segment of national food retail, with a profitable and sustainable operation.

Based on the guideline of having the customer at the center of our decisions and being where he/she is - the businessstrategy was defined based on six pillars: Top line, or structured increase in our revenues; Service excellence, measured by the NPS (Net Promote Score); Digital, with advances in multichannel; Store expansion and conversion;

Profitability, taking care of breakages, expenses, and margins; and ESG and Culture, with the delivery ofenvironmental, social, and governance commitments, valuing diversity, and having culture as the great foundation of

an entire work of transformation.

2022 was marked by the resumption of organic store growth: there were 18 new Pão de Açúcar units already in the Generation 7 format, focused on improving the shopping experience of trade receivables; and other 44 Proximity stores were opened. We ended the year with a record opening of 72 units (between new and converted), as part of our goal of opening 300 new stores in three years.

The process to resume our brands' strengths, such as musicality and well-being for Pão de Açúcar, was also an important milestone of the period, with the resumption of sports and cultural actions that rescue the brand's visibility and the emotional bond with consumers.

During the year, we also made important advances in innovation and digitalization, with the evolution of the Pão de çúcar and Clube Extra apps to become the main contact hub for our trade receivables; the incorporation of James' logistics engine into e-commerce, which allowed us to increase the percentage of deliveries performed on the same day from 40 to 70%; our progress with express deliveries in up to 30 minutes from proximity stores, in addition toworking with our own channels, to be the best partner and the best purchase option at all points of contact with our trade receivables.

Another milestone in 2022 was the partnership with Google Cloud, the largest cloud journey project in Brazilian retail, ensuring faster integration of our processes and programs.

2022 was also marked by the strengthening of our commitments and different initiatives that encompassenvironmental, social, and governance aspects, fundamental for keeping a sustainable, diverse, and inclusive business.

Even in a year of transition, with reflections on the profitability of the business, GPA Brazil proforma reached a netrevenue of 17.3 billion and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 7%, expected to reach 8 to 9% in 2024. This demonstrates that we are on the way to consolidating an increasingly healthy business with sustainable results.

The year 2023 looks promising, considering the work we have already done. We know that we still have important obstacles to overcome in order to achieve excellence in service, win back the premium customers, and expand our results in a profitable and sustainable manner. We remain firm in our mission to reconnect with our essence and our commitment to the purpose of nurturing dreams and lives!

The Company is directly controlled by Ségisor, and its ultimate parent company is Casino Guichard Perrachon ("Casino"), French company listed on Paris Stock Exchange.

1.1	Discontinuation of the business of Extra Hiper stores and sale of assets with Sendas

As part of the Retail reportable segment, the Company operates different store formats, as highlighted in Note 1, including 103 Extra Hiper stores, which operate in the hypermarket model. In line with the strategy of optimizing its store platform and allocating relevant resources to accelerate the growth of the most profitable banners, Management decided to discontinue the operation of stores with the Extra Hiper banner.

According to material facts published on October 14, 2021 and December 16, 2021, was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company and Sendas Distribuidora S.A. ("Assai" or ''Sendas Distribubidora''), counting only on the vote of the independent directors, the terms and conditions of the definitive agreement for the assignment of exploration rights of 70 commercial rights between the Company and Assaí, located in several states, involving own properties and those leased from third parties.

The transaction is being definitively carried out, after an amendment dated December 26, 2022, as follows: (i) transfer of commercial rights of up to 66 (previously 70) to Assaí for R$3.928 billion (previously R$3.973 billion) and (ii) sale of 17 properties to the real estate fund Barzel Properties, with guarantee and subsequent lease by Assaí for 25 years, renewable for an additional period of 15 years, in the amount of R$1.200 billion, as per contract signed on February 25, 2022.

On August 17, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved the execution of credit assignment agreements with financial institutions for the definitive assignment of these receivables, in the amount of up to R$2 billion related to the installments due by Assaí between 2023 and 2024. The residual installments in the amount of R$1.2 billion maturing in 2023 and R$700 million maturing in January 2024 adjusted by CDI +1.2% were definitively assigned, with Assai's consent and without right of retunr during the third quarter of 2022.The cost of this assignment was R$2.4 million and is allocated in the financial result.

As of December 31, 2022, the Company has received and already anticipated the entire receivables from the Transaction.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Also, in addition to this transaction, of the 37 remaining Extra Hiper stores, the Company converted the 25 commercial rights to other more profitable banners (Pão de Açúcar and Mercado Extra) and closed, or sold to third parties, of 12 stores.

In light of the transaction described above, on December 31, 2021 the Company began the process of demobilizing and discontinuing the operations of the Extra Hiper banner, and until December 31, 2021 the transaction was partially implemented, with the discontinuation of 31 commercial rights and the effective transfer to Assaí of 20 of these commercial rights, of which 6 are owned by the Company

The operations of the other Extra Hiper stores representing the remaining 50 commercial rights, including 11 owned properties, were discontinued in first quarter of 2022, and another 40 commercial rights were delivered to Assaí in this period. In the second quarter, another commercial right was delivered and in the third quarter, 5 more commercial rights were delivered. The assets and liabilities related to these stores (substantially property, plant and equipment, right of use and corresponding liabilities and intangible assets) were classified as assets held for sale on December 31, 2021 and realized over 2022 with the effective delivery of the commercial rights to Assai.

Management evaluated the transaction in light of IFRS5/CPC31 - "Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operation" and concluded that the discontinuation of 103 Extra Hiper stores (complete transaction) results in the abandonment of an important line of business in the Retail segment, with subsequent sale of non-operating assets (fixed assets, right of use and commercial rights) to Assaí.

As previously mentioned, on December 31, 2021, the Company partially abandoned the Extra Hiper stores (21% of gross revenue from the Extra Hiper business line) and concluded that there was no substantial abandonment of the hypermarkets business line, since, according to IFRS5/CPC31, an abandoned operation should be considered discontinued when it is substantially completed, which occurred in the first quarter of 2022, with the abandonment and delivery of 86% of the total stores to Assaí. Therefore, since the first quarter of 2022, the net gain on disposal of assets and the result of the hypermarket business line are being presented as a discontinued operation (Extra Hiper business line), as well as the comparative financial statements are being restated, in a single line in the income statement, as provided for in IFRS5/CPC31.

In the period ended on December 2022, the Company recorded revenue in the amount of R$3,9 billion, besides to asset write-offs corresponding to the amount of R$1,035 and expenses of R$1,345(R$566 related to dismissal of employees, R$95 cancellation of contracts and R$684 other expenses related to the transaction - costs related to transaction, write-off of balances from other accounts related to stores and demobilization), generating the net result of the transaction in the amount of R$1,564 recorded in the result of Discontinued Operations (Note 33).

1.2	Segregation and discontinuationof subsidiary Éxito's operations in the Company

On September 5, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors became aware of the results of preliminary studies for the eventual segregation of GPA and Éxito and, based on the results of these preliminary studies, authorized Management to finish the studies about this transaction, as well evaluate the necessary measures for its respective formalization, including all the measures for the creation of Éxito's BDRs (Brazilian Depositary Receipts) and ADRs (American Depositary Receipts) programs in Brazil and the United States, respectively.

26

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

According to the plan prepared by management, the transaction is expected to occur through a share capital reduction of GPA with the objective of distributing approximately 83% of the shares of Éxito currently held by GPA to its shareholders. Thus, after the distribution of shares, GPA would maintain a minority interest of approximately 13% in Éxito.

On December 30, 2022 the Company filed an application for registration as a publicly-held company in the category "A", the application for registration of the Level I Brazilian Depository Receipts ("BDR") program with the CVM, and the application for listing of the BDRs with B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa e Balção.

The Company has also completed the necessary pre-clearances from major financial creditors during the year ending 2022.

Management has fulfilled the main requirements of the segregation process of its subsidiary Éxito in 2022, and the transaction is considered highly probable to be completed in the second quarter of 2023. In accordance with CPC 31/IFRS 5, subsidiary Éxito and its subsidiaries are presented in these financial statements as assets held for distribution in the balance sheet and discontinued operations in the result for the year.

At the extraordinary general meeting held on February 14, 2023, a capital reduction of GPA in the amount of R$ 7,133 was approved, through the delivery to GPA's shareholders of 1,080,556,276 common shares issued by Éxito owned by GPA, being 4 shares issued by Éxito for each GPA share.

1.3	Corporate merger of its subsidiaries

In May 2022 there was the total incorporation and consequent extinction of Compre Bem.In December 2022 there was the full merger and consequent extinction of James Delivery. Both were wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. The result of these mergers had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements, since they were wholly-owned subsidiaries.

1.4	Continuity of operations

Management has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and has concluded that it has the ability to maintain its operations and systems in normal operation. Therefore management is not aware of any material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis

2.	Basis of preparation

The individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB") and accounting practices adopted in Brazil law 6,404/76 and accounting pronouncements issued by Comitê de Pronunciamentos Contábeis ("CPC") and approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM").

The financial statement have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments measured at their fair value. All relevant information in the financial statements is being evidenced and corresponds to that used by the Administration in the conduct of the Company.

27

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

The individual and consolidated financial statement is being presented in millions of Brazilian Reais ("R$"), which is the reporting currency of the Company. The functional currency of associates and subsidiaries located abroad is the local currency of each jurisdiction.

The financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2022 were approved by the Board of Directors on February 27, 2023.

The income statement for the year and the statement of added value and the explanatory notes related to the income for the period ended December 31, 2021 are being restated due to the discontinuity of the business of Extra Hiper stores ( note 1.1), and due to the segregation and discontinuation process of its subsidiary Éxito (note 1.2) considering the effects of such transaction in compliance with technical pronouncement CPC 31 / IFRS 5 - Non-current assets held for sale and Discontinued Operation.

The cash flow statements include continued and discontinued operations in line with technical pronouncement CPC31/IFRS 5.

The consolidated financial statements information include the accounting information of all subsidiaries in which the Company exercises control, directly or indirectly. The determination of which subsidiaries are controlled by the Company and the procedures for full consolidation follow the concepts and principles established by CPC 36 (R3)/IFRS 10.

The financial statements information of the subsidiaries are prepared on the same closing date of the Company's years, adopting consistent accounting policies. All balances between Group companies, including income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from operations between Group companies are fully eliminated.

Gains or losses resulting from changes in equity interest in subsidiaries, which do not result in loss of control, are recorded directly in equity.

In the individual interim financial information, interests are calculated considering the percentage held by Company on its subsidiaries. In the consolidated financial statement information, the Company fully consolidates all of its subsidiaries, maintaining the non-controlling interest highlighted in a specific line in shareholders' equity and income statement.

3.	Significant accounting policies

The main accounting policies and practices are described in each corresponding explanatory note, except for the accounting practices below that are related to more than one explanatory note. Accounting policies and practices have been consistently applied to the years presented and to the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements.

3.1 Financial instruments

Financial assets are recognized when the Company or its subsidiaries assume contractual rights to receive cash or other financial assets from contracts to which they are a party. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash tied to the financial asset expire or the risks and benefits are substantially transferred to third parties. Assets and liabilities are recognized when rights and / or obligations are retained in the transfer by the Company.

Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company and/or its subsidiaries assume contractual obligations for settlement in cash or in the assumption of third party obligations through a contract to which they are a party. Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are settled, extinguished or expired.

28

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a period defined by regulation or market convention (trading under normal conditions) are recognized on the trade date, that is, on the date on which the Company and its subsidiaries undertake to whether to buy or sell the asset.

(i) Classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities

According to CPC 48 / IFRS 9, on initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured: at amortized cost; fair value through other results ("FVOCI") - or fair value through results ("FVPL"). The classification of financial assets according to CPC 48 / IFRS 9 is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and on its contractual cash flow characteristics. Embedded derivatives in which the master contract is a financial asset within the scope of the standard are never separated. Instead, the hybrid financial instrument is rated for classification as a whole.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as measured at FVPL:

• is maintained within a business model whose objective is to maintain financial assets to receive contractual cash flows; and

• its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are related to the payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt instrument is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as measured at FVPL:

• is maintained within a business model whose objective is achieved both by receiving contractual cash flows and by selling financial assets; and

• its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

In the initial recognition of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably choose to present subsequent changes in the fair value of the investment in other comprehensive income ("OCI"). This choice is made investment by investment.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI, as described above, are classified as FVPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. Upon initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost, FVOCI or FVPL if this eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise (fair value option available in CPC 48 / IFRS 9).

A financial asset (unless it is an accounts receivable from customers without a significant financing component that is initially measured at the transaction price) is initially measured at fair value, plus, for an item not measured at FVPL, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to your acquisition.

Financial assets measured at FVPL - These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. The net result, including interest or dividend income, is recognized in the result.

Financial assets at amortized cost - These assets are measured subsequently to the amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and losses are recognized in income. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in income.

29

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Financial assets to FVOCI - These assets are measured subsequently at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized in income. Other net results are recognized in OCI. Upon derecognition, the accumulated result in OCI is reclassified to the result.

(ii) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities

A financial asset (or, as the case may be, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognised when:

• Expiry rights to receive cash flows.

• The Company and its subsidiaries transfer their rights to receive cash flows from the asset or assume an obligation to fully pay the cash flows received to a third party, pursuant to a transfer agreement; and (a) the Company substantially transferred all the risks and benefits related to the asset; or (b) the Company did not transfer, nor substantially retained all the risks and benefits related to the asset, but transferred its control.

When the Company and its subsidiaries assign their rights to receive cash flows from an asset or enter into a transfer agreement, without substantially transferring or retaining all the risks and benefits related to the asset or transferring control of the asset, the asset is maintained and recognizes a corresponding liability. The transferred asset and the corresponding liability are measured in a way that reflects the rights and obligations retained by the Company and its subsidiaries.

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation underlying the liability is paid, canceled or expired.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same creditor, under substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such replacement or modification is treated as derecognition of the original liability and recognition of a new liability, and the difference between the respective book values is recognized in the income for the year.

(iii) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and presented stated net in the financial statements, only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention of settling them on a net basis or realizing the assets and settling the liabilities simultaneously.

30

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to limit the exposure to variation not related to the local market such as interest rate and exchange rate swaps. These derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Derivatives are accounted for as financial assets when their fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when their fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognized as financial income or expenses.

At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it intends to apply hedge accounting and its objective and risk management strategy for contracting the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Company

will assess the effectiveness of the changes in the hedging instrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the fair value of the hedged item or cash flow attributable to the hedged risk.

These hedges are expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flow and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine if they actually have been highly effective throughout the periods for which they were designated.

The following are recognized as fair value hedges, in accordance with the procedures below:

•	The change in the fair value of a derivative financial instrument classified as fair value hedging is recognized as financial result. The change in the fair value of the hedged item is recorded as a part of the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognized in the statement of operations.

•

In order to calculate the fair value, debts and swaps are measured through rates disclosed in the financial market and projected up to their maturity date. The discount rate used in the calculation by the interpolation method for borrowings denominated in foreign currency is developed through DDI curves, free coupon and DI, indexes disclosed by the B3 (the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange), whereas for borrowings denominated in reais, the Company uses the DI curve, an index published by the CETIP and calculated through the exponential interpolation method.

The Company uses financial instruments only to protect identified risks limited to 100% of the value of these risks. Derivative transactions are exclusively used to reduce exposure to foreign currency and interest rate fluctuation, in order to maintain the balance of the capital structure.

Cash flow hedge

Derivative instruments are recorded as cash flow hedge, using the following principles:

• The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognized directly in equity in other comprehensive income. In case the hedge relationship no longer meets the hedging ratio but the objective of management risk remains unchanged, the Company should "rebalance" the hedge ratio to meet the eligibility criteria.

• Any remaining gain or loss on the hedge instrument (including arising from the "rebalancing" of the hedge ratio) is ineffective, and therefore should be recognized in profit or loss.

31

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

• Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are immediately transferred to the income statement together with the hedged transaction by affecting the income statement, for example, when the hedge financial income or expense is recognized or when a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or liability, the amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial asset or liability.

• The Company should prospectively discontinue hedge accounting only when the hedge relationship no longer meets the qualification criteria (after taking into account any rebalancing of the hedge relationship).

• If the expected transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected, amounts previously recognized in OCI are transferred to the income statement. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its hedge classification is revoked, gains or losses previously recognized in comprehensive income remain deferred in equity

in other comprehensive income until the expected transaction or firm commitment affect the profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

CPC 48 / IFRS 9 replaces the "incurred loss" model of CPC 38 / IAS 39 with an expected credit losses model. The new impairment loss model applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contractual assets and debt instruments measured at FVOCI, but does not apply to investments in equity instruments (shares) or financial assets measured at FVPL.

According to CPC 48 / IFRS 9, provisions for losses are measured at one of the following bases: 

•	Credit losses expected for 12 months (general model): these are credit losses that result in possible default events within 12 months from the balance sheet date and, subsequently, in case of deterioration of the credit risk, throughout the life of the instrument.

•	Full lifetime expected credit losses (simplified model): these are credit losses resulting from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

•

Practical expedient: these are expected credit losses that are consistent with reasonable and sustainable information available, on the balance sheet date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, which enable the verification of probable future loss based on the historical credit loss occurred in accordance with the maturity of securities.

The Company chose to measure provisions for losses from accounts receivable and other receivables and contractual assets at an amount that equals the credit loss expected for the full lifetime, and for trade accounts receivable, whose portfolio of receivables is fragmented, rents receivable, wholesale accounts receivable and accounts receivable from freight companies, the practical expedient was applied through the adoption of a matrix of losses for each maturity range.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset increased significantly since its initial recognition and while estimating the expected credit losses, the Company takes into account reasonable and sustainable information that is relevant and available free of cost or excessive effort. This includes quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Company's historical experience, during credit appraisal and considering information about projections.

The Company assumes that the credit risk of a financial asset increased significantly if the asset is overdue more than 90 days.

32

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

The Company considers a financial asset as in default when:

•	There is little likelihood that the debtor will fully pay their obligations to the Company, without resorting to actions such as execution of guarantees (if any); or

•	The financial asset is overdue more than 90 days.

The Company determined the credit risk of a debt security by analyzing the payment history, financial and macroeconomic conditions of the counterparty and the assessment of rating agencies, when applicable, thereby assessing each debt security individually.

The maximum period considered when estimating the expected credit loss is the maximum contractual period during which the company is exposed to the credit risk.

Measurement of expected credit losses - Expected credit losses are estimates weighted by the probability of credit losses based on historical losses and projections of related assumptions. Credit losses are measured at present value based on all cash insufficiencies (i.e. the differences between the cash flows owed to the Company according to contracts and the cash flows the Company expects to receive).

Expected credit losses are discounted by the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

Financial assets with credit recovery problems - On each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether the financial assets recorded at amortized cost and the debt securities measured at FVOCI show any indication of impairment. A financial asset shows "indication of impairment loss" in the occurrence of one or more events with negative impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset.

Presentation of impairment loss - Provision for losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross book value of the assets.

For financial instruments measured at FVOCI, the provision for losses is recognized in OCI, instead of deducting the book value of the asset.

Impairment losses related to trade accounts receivable and other receivables, including contractual assets, are presented separately in the statement of income and OCI. Impairment of other financial assets is reported under "selling expenses".

Accounts receivable and contractual assets - The Company considers the model and some of the assumptions used in the calculation of these expected credit losses as the main sources of uncertainty in the estimate.

The positions within each group were segmented based on common credit risk characteristics, such as:

•	Credit risk level and historical losses - for wholesale clients and property rental; and

•	Delinquency status, default risk and historical losses - for credit card operators and other clients.

33

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Adjustment to present value of assets and liabilities

Long-term assets and liabilities are adjusted to their present value, calculated taking into account the contractual cash flows and the respective interest rate, explicit or implicit. Short-term assets and liabilities are not adjusted to present value.

3.2.	Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are initially recognized at the market value of the corresponding currencies on the date the transaction qualifies for recognition.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are converted into Real, according to the exchange rates of the respective currencies at the end of the years. Differences arising from the payment or translation of monetary items are recognized in the financial result.

34

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

3.3.	Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current

The Company presents the assets and liabilities in the financial statement based on the classification of current and non-current.

The asset should be classified as current when it meets any of the following criteria:

• Expected to be carried out, or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal course of the entity's operating cycle

• Is maintained essentially for the purpose of being traded

• It is expected to take place up to twelve months after the balance sheet date

• Is cash or cash equivalent (as defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 03/IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows), unless its exchange or use for settlement of liabilities is prohibited for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date

All other assets must be classified as non-current.

Liabilities should be classified as current when they meet any of the following criteria:

• Expected to be settled during the entity's normal operating cycle

• Is maintained essentially for the purpose of being traded

• Must be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date

• The entity has no unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date

All other liabilities must be classified as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as "non-current", net by legal entity, as provided for in CPC32/ IAS12.

3.4.	Translation of subsidiaries and associates located in other countries

The financial statements are presented in reais, which is the parent company's functional currency. Each entity determines its functional currency and all of its financial transactions are measured in that currency.

The financial statements of subsidiaries located in other countries that use a functional currency other than that of the parent company are translated into reais at the balance sheet date, according to the following criteria:

·Assets and liabilities, including goodwill and market value adjustments, are translated into reais at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.

·Income statement and cash flow statement are translated into reais using the average rate, unless significant variations occur, when the rate on the transaction date is used.

·Equity accounts are maintained at the historical balance in reais and the variation is recorded under the equity valuation adjustments item as other comprehensive income.

35

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Exchange rate differences are recognized directly in a separate component of equity. When a foreign operation is sold, the accumulated amount of exchange variation adjustment in shareholders' equity is recorded in the income statement for the year.

3.5.	Hyperinflation

As of September 2018, Argentina has become considered a hyperinflationary economy. According to CPC 42 / IAS 29 - ''Accounting in Hyperinflationary Economy'' based on the current cost approach, non-monetary assets and liabilities, equity and operating results of indirect subsidiary Libertad, headquartered in Argentina, a direct subsidiary of Éxito, whose currency functional is the Argentine peso, they are being adjusted so that the values ​​are disclosed in the measurement monetary unit at the end of the year.

This unit considers the effects measured by the Consumer Price Index ("IPC") in Argentina as of January 1, 2017 and the Domestic Retail Price Index in Argentina ("IPIM") until December 31, 2016.

3.6.	Accounting for equity interests at cost arising from corporate restructuring and carried out with related parties

The Company records, at historical cost, the interests arising from corporate restructuring acquired from related parties without economic essence. The difference between the cost balance and the acquired value is recorded in equity, when the transaction is made between companies under common control. Transactions do not qualify as a business combination under CPC 15R / IFRS 3R.

3.7.	Statement of value added

This statement intend to evidence the wealth created by the Group and its distribution in a given year and is presented as required by Brazilian Corporation Law as part of its parent company and consolidated financial statements, as it is neither mandatory nor established by IFRS.

This statement was prepared based on information obtained from accounting records which provide the basis for the preparation of the financial statements, additional records, and in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added, The first part presents the wealth created by the Company and its subsidiaries, represented by revenue (gross sale revenue, including taxes, other revenue and the effects of the allowance for doubtful accounts), inputs acquired from third parties (cost of sales and acquisition of materials, energy and outsourced services, including taxes at the time of acquisition, the effects of losses and the recovery of assets, and depreciation and amortization) and value added received from third parties (equity in the earnings of subsidiaries, financial income and other revenues). The second part of the statement presents the distribution of wealth among personnel, taxes, fees and contributions; and value distributed to third party creditors and shareholders.

36

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

4.	Adoption of new procedures, amendments to and interpretations of existing standards issued by the IASB and CPC

4.1.	Amendments and new interpretations of mandatory application from the current year.

In 2022, the Company evaluated the amendments and new interpretations to CPCs and IFRSs issued by the CPC and IASB, respectively, that are mandatorily effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The main changes are:

·

Amendments to CPC 27 / IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment - Resources Before Intended Use: The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any resources arising from the sale of items produced before the asset is available for use, that is, resources to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Consequently, the entity recognizes these sale proceeds and related costs in profit or loss.

·

Improvements in CPC 48 / IFRS 9: Financial Instruments: The amendments clarify the fees that an entity includes when assessing whether the terms of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different from the terms of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the borrower and the lender, including fees paid or received by the borrower or the lender on behalf of the other.

·	Improvements to CPC 06 (R2) / IFRS 16: Leases: The amendments exclude the concept of reimbursement for improvements to third-party properties.

The adoption of these standards did not result in material impacts on the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements.

4.2.	New and revised standards and interpretations already issued and not yet effective

The Company has not early adopted the new CPCs and IFRSs. The following are the main ones, revisions already issued and not yet effective:

Pronouncement	Description	I Applicable to annual periods starting in or after
Changes in CPC 26/ IAS 1	Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and materiality concept	01/01/2023

No significant impacts on the Company's individual and consolidated interim financial statements are expected as a result of these changes.

5.	Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information 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.

In the process of applying the Company's accounting policies, Management adopted judgments, which have the most significant impact on the amounts recognized in the parent company and consolidated according to the information included in the following explanatory notes:

·Business discontinuity - Note nº 1.1 and 1.2

·Impairment - impairment and useful life of fixed and intangible assets: Notes 7.2, 8.1, 14.1, 15.1 e 15.2

7.	Trade receivables

Trade receivables balances are initially recorded at the transaction amount, wich corresponds to the sale value, and are subsequently measured according to the portfolio: (i) fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), in the case of receivables from credit card and (ii) amortized cost, mainly a customer portfolios.

Credit losses on financial assets are measured at amortized cost deducted by the gross assets carrying amount.

For financial instruments measured at FVOCI, estimated losses are recorded in OCI instead of reduce the carrying amount of the asset.

At each reporting date, the Company evaluates if the financial assets recorded at amortized cost or FVOCI show any indication of impairment. A financial asset shows indication of impairment loss when there is one or more events with adverse impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset.

Receivables are considered irrecoverable and therefore written off from the accounts receivable portfolio, when the payment is not made after 360 days from the due date. At each annual closing of the balance sheets, the Company and its subsidiaries assess whether the assets or groups of financial assets have impairment.

9.	Inventories

Inventories are initially accounted for at cost and revalued at net realizable value. Inventories purchased are recorded at average cost, including warehouse and handling costs, to the extent these costs are necessary to bring inventories available for sale in the stores, less bonuses received from suppliers.

Net realizable value is the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs to sell, such as: (i) taxes on the sale; (ii) personnel expenses directly linked to the sale; (iii) cost of the goods; and (iv) other costs necessary to bring the goods in a condition of sale.

Inventories are reduced to their recoverable value through estimates for the provision for losses, and shrinkage, scrap, slow turnover of goods and estimation of loss for goods that will be sold with negative gross margin, which is periodically analyzed and evaluated for its adequacy.

Bonuses received from suppliers are measured and recognized based on contracts and agreements signed, and recorded in the statement of operations when the corresponding inventories are sold. Includes purchase volume agreement, logistics and specific negotiations to recover margin, reimbursement agreement (marketing expenses), among others, and are deducted from payables to the respective suppliers, once the Company is contractually entitled to settle trade payables net of these bonuses.

10.	Recoverable taxes

The Company records tax credits, whenever it gathers legal, documentary and factual understanding about such credits that allow their recognition, including the realization estimate, with ICMS being recognized as a "cost of goods sold" reduction and PIS and COFINS as a reducer of the income accounts on which the credits are calculated.

10.1.

Schedule of expected realization of ICMS

Since 2008, the Brazilian States have been substantially changing their laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax substitution system ("ICMS-ST"). Referred system implies the prepayment of ICMS throughout the commercial chain, upon goods outflow from manufacturer or importer or their inflow into the State. The expansion of such system to a wider range of products traded at retail is based on the assumption that the trading cycle of these products will end in the State, so that ICMS is fully owed thereto.

In order to supply its stores, the Company and its subsidiaries maintain distribution centers strategically located in certain States and in the Federal District, which receive goods with ICMS-ST of the entire supply chain (by force of tax replacement) already prepaid by suppliers or the Company and subsidiaries, and then the goods are shipped to locations in other States. Such interstate shipment entitles the Company and subsidiaries to a refund reimbursement of prepaid ICMS, i.e., the ICMS of the commercial chain paid in acquisition becomes a tax credit to be refunded, pursuant to the State laws.

The refund process requires the evidence through tax documents and digital files of the operations that entitled the Company to refund. Only after its previous legal ratification by State Tax Authorities and/or compliance with specific ancillary obligations aiming to support these credits, which occurs in periods after these credits are generated.

43

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Since the number of items traded at retail, subject to tax substitution, has been continuously increasing, the tax credits to be refunded by the Company and subsidiaries have also grown. The Company and its subsidiaries have been using such authorized tax credits to offset with state tax liabilities owed after having obtained the Special Regime and also through other procedures covered by state rules.

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 financial statement as of December 31, 2022, 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 below. As of December 31, 2022, no changes were required to the plans previously prepared.

In the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2022 the amount of R$338 was recorded referring to the monetary updating of the ICMS-ST reimbursement, of which R$201 in the financial result and R$137 in the result of discontinued operation.

10.2 Schedule of expected realization of PIS and COFINS

The evidence leading the Company to conclude on the PIS and COFINS credit entitlement includes i) interpretation of tax legislation, ii) internal and external factors, such as case law and market interpretations that were part of the analysis, and iii) analysis by external legal advisors regarding the issues and iv) accounting assessment on the issue.

In June 2022, the 2nd Class of the Higher Justice Court (STJ) recognized the illegality of the early revocation of the tax incentive provided for in Law 11,196/05. The Law reduce to zero the PIS and COFINS rates levied on revenues from the sale of certain technology products. As a result of this judgment, the Company recorded credits in the amount of R$160 in the second quarter of 2022.

On September 6, 2022, the Company obtained a favorable decision in a lawsuit related to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, which is carried out separately from other lawsuits on the same topic whose credits have already been recognized in the financial statements in 2020. Due to the favorable decision, the Company recorded a credit in the amount of R$106 (R$71 of which in the financial result).

The Company has been following the development of these issues, and together with its legal advisors, concluded that the elements so far do not impact the expectation of realization.

The associates are: i) (discontinued operation) and FIC managed by Itaú Unibanco S.A. ("Itaú Unibanco") and ii) Cnova N.V. which operates mainly on e-commerce in France and (iii) Tuya, financial institution invested of Éxito.

13.	Investment properties

Investment properties are measured at historical cost, including transaction costs, net of accumulated depreciation and or impairment loss, if applicable. The cost of investment properties acquired in a business combination is determined at fair value, in accordance with IFRS 3/ CPC 15 - Business combination.

Investment properties are written off when they are sold or when they are no longer used and no future economic benefit is expected from the sale. An investment property is also classified as held for sale when there is an intention to sell. The difference between the net amount obtained from the sale and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the statement of operations for the period in which the asset is written off. The useful life of buildings is presented in note 14.

The investment properties of the Company and its subsidiaries correspond to commercial areas and lots that are maintained for income generation or future price appreciation.

The Company performed a test to verify the operating assets of investment properties that could not be recoverable in the year ended December 31, 2022. Based on the tests carried out, it was necessary to record a loss in the amount of R$6 in the consolidated (R$32 in December 31, 2021).

The fair value of investment properties is measured based on assessments performed by third parties.

14.	Property and equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses, if any. This cost includes the cost of acquisition of equipment and financing costs for long-term construction projects, if the recognition criteria are met. When significant components of property and equipment are replaced, they are recognized as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation. Likewise, when a major replacement is performed, its cost is recognized at the carrying amount of the equipment as a replacement, if the recognition criteria are met. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in the statement of operations for the year as incurred.

Asset category	Useful life (in years)
Buildings	Between 40 and 50
Leasehold improvements	Between 24 and 40
Machinery and equipment	Between 10 and 20
Facilities	11
Furniture and fixtures	Between 9 and 12
Others	Between 3 and 5

Property and equipment items and eventual significant parts are written off when sold or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or sale. Any eventual gains or losses arising from the write off of the assets are included in the statement of operations for the year.

The residual value, the useful life of assets and the depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if applicable. The Company reviewed the useful lives of fixed assets for fiscal year 2022 and no significant changes were necessary.

Interest on loans directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset, which requires a substantial period of time to be finalized for the intended use or sale (qualifying asset), is capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets during its construction. From the date of entry into operation of the corresponding asset, capitalized costs are depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.

14.1	Impairment of non financial assets

Impairment testing is designed so that the Company can present the net realizable value of an asset. This amount may be realized directly or indirectly, respectively, through the sale of the asset or the cash generated by the use of the asset in the Company and its subsidiaries activities.

The Company and its subsidiaries tests its tangible or intangible assets for impairment annually or whenever there is internal or external evidence that they may be impaired.

An asset's recoverable amount is defined as the asset's fair value or the value in use of its cash-generating unit (CGU), whichever is higher, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets.

If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and an allowance is recorded to adjust its carrying amount to its recoverable amount, in assessing the recoverable amount, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the Company's weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), reflecting current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The useful life test for intangibles including goodwill is presented in note 15.

Recovery test of stores operating assets

The procedure for verifying non-realization consisted of grouping operational and intangible assets (Commercial rights) directly attributable to stores. The test steps were as follows:

• Step 1: the book value of properties in rented stores was compared with a sales multiple (30% to 35%) representing transactions observables on the market between retail companies. For stores with a multiple value below the book value, we move to a more detailed method, described in Step 2.

• Step 2: the Company considers the higher of the discounted cash flows using the growth rate of 5.4% (4.8% in 2021) and discount rate of 11.6% (10.6% in 2021) limited by the average term of the remaining economic life of the operating assets of each CGU or valuation reports prepared by independent experts for the company-owned stores

The Company carried out a test to verify the operational assets of the stores that could not be recoverable and in the year ended December 31, 2022, based on the tests performed, it was necessary to recognize a loss in the amount of R$8 in the consolidated (R$5 in the consolidated on December 31,2021).

Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss for the year in expense categories consistent with the function of the respective impaired asset. Previously recognized impairment losses are only reversed in case of change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount at its initial or most recent recognition, except for goodwill, which cannot be reversed in future periods.

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

14.5	Other information

At December 3, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries recorded in the cost of sales the amount of R$95 in the parent company (R$130 at December 31, 2021) and R$95 in consolidated (R$131 at December 31, 2021) related to the depreciation of trucks, machinery, buildings and facilities related to the distribution centers.

15.	Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured at cost at initial recognition, less amortization and any impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized software development costs, are recognized as expenses when incurred.

Intangible assets consist mainly of software acquired from third parties, software developed for internal use, commercial rights (stores' rights of use), customer lists, advantageous lease agreements, advantageous furniture supply agreements and brands.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized by the straight-line method. The amortization period and method are reviewed, at least, at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimate.

Software development costs recognized as assets are amortized over their useful lives (5 a 10 years), accordingly to the amortization rate of 11.50% beginning amortization when they become operational.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but tested for impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever there are indications that their carrying amount may be impaired either individually or at the level of the cash-generating unit (CGU). The assessment is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life assumption remains valid. Otherwise, the useful life is changed prospectively from indefinite to definite.

When applicable, gains or losses arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net proceeds from the sale of the asset and its carrying amount, any gain or loss being recognized in the statement of operations in the year when the asset is derecognized.

15.1	Impairment test of intangibles of indefinite useful life, including goodwill

The impairment test of intangibles uses the same practices described in Note 14.

For impairment testing purposes, the goodwill acquired through business combinations and tradenames with indefinite useful lives was allocated to two cash generating units (CGUs), which are also operational segments that disclose information. The segments are: retail and international retail referring Exito Group.

The recoverable amount of the segments was defined by means of the value in use based on cash projections arising from the financial budgets approved by senior management for the next three years. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 11.7% (10.6% in December 31, 2021), and cash flows that exceed the three-year period are extrapolated using a 5.4% growth rate (4.8% in December 31, 2021). As a result of this analysis, there was no need to record a provision for impairment of these assets.

In relation to Grupo Éxito, the discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 7.4% (7.4% in December 31, 2021) and cash flows that exceed the three-year period are extrapolated using a 3.7% (3% in December 31, 2021) growth rate. As a result of this analysis, it was identified the need to record a provision of R$ 19 for impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful life (R$ 22 at December 31, 2021).

Sensitivity analysis

Based on the probable scenario, a sensitivity analysis was made for a 0.5% increase / decrease in the discount rate and growth rate. In any combination, the value of the segment's cash flow is higher than its book value. As a result of this analysis, there was no need to record a provision for impairment of these assets.

15.2	Commercial right

Commercial rights are the right to operate the stores under to acquire rights, or allocated on business combinations.

Management understands that commercial rights are considered recoverable, considering its recovery by cash flows return or the possibility of negotiating with third parties.

Goodwill with a defined useful life is tested using the same assumptions used in the Company's other recoverability tests, following the term of use of these assets.

16.1	Agreement between suppliers, the Group and banks

The Company and its subsidiaries have certain agreements with financial institutions in order to allow their suppliers to use the Company's lines of credit for prepayment of receivables arising from the sale of goods and services, allowing suppliers to anticipate receivables in the normal course of purchases made by the Company.

Management assessed that the economic substance of the transaction is of an operational nature, considering that the anticipation is at the exclusive discretion of the supplier and, for the Company, there are no changes in the original term negotiated with the supplier, nor changes in the contracted amounts. Management evaluated the potential effects of adjusting these operations to present value and concluded that the effects are immaterial for measurement and disclosure.

Additionally, there is no exposure to any financial institution individually related to these operations and these resulting liabilities are not considered net debt and do not have restrictive covenants (financial or non-financial) related.

These balances are classified as "agreement suppliers" and payments are made to financial institutions under the same conditions as originally agreed with the supplier. As a result, all cash flow from these operations is presented as operational in the cash flow statement.

16.2	Bonuses from suppliers

It includes bonuses and discounts obtained from suppliers. These amounts are established in agreements and include amounts for discounts on purchase volumes, joint marketing programs, freight reimbursements, and other similar programs. The collection of these receivables is by offsetting the amounts payable to suppliers, according to supply agreements conditions so that the settlement occurs by the net amount.

18.1	Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Group

(i)	Credit risk

·	Cash and cash equivalents: in order to minimize credit risk, the Company adopts investment policies at financial institutions approved by the Company's Financial Committee, also taking into consideration monetary limits and financial institution evaluations, which are regularly updated.

·

Accounts receivable: credit risk related to accounts receivable is minimized by the fact that large portion of the sales are paid with credit cards, and the Company sells these receivables to banks and credit card companies, aiming to strengthen working capital. The sales of receivables result in derecognition of the accounts receivable due to the transfer of the credit risk, benefits and control of such assets. Additionally, mainly to the accounts receivable paid in installments, the Company monitor the risk through the credit concession to customers and by periodic analysis of the provision for losses.

·	The Company also has counterparty risk related to the derivative instruments; such risk is mitigated by the Company's carrying out transactions, according to policies approved by governance boards.

·	There are no amounts receivable that are individually, higher than 5% of accounts receivable or sales, respectively.

(ii)	Interest rate risk

The Company and its subsidiaries raise loans and financing with major financial institutions for cash needs for investments. As a result, the Company and its subsidiaries are, mainly, exposed to relevant interest rates fluctuation risk, especially in view of derivatives liabilities (foreign currency exposure hedge) and CDI indexed debt. The balance of cash and cash equivalents, indexed to CDI, partially offsets the interest rate risk.

(iii)

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase outstanding balances of foreign currency-denominated borrowings. The Company and its subsidiaries use derivatives, such as swaps, aiming to mitigate the exchange exposure risk, converting the cost of debt into domestic currency andinterest rates.

(iv)	Capital risk management

The main objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure if the Company sustains its credit rating and a well-defined equity ratio, in order to support businesses and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments taking into account changes in the economic conditions.

75

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

b.	Derivative financial instruments

Certain swap operations are classified as fair value hedge, whose objective is to hedge against foreign exchange exposure (U.S. dollars) and fixed interest rates, converting the debt into domestic interest rates and currency.

At December 31, 2022 the reference value of these contracts were R$469 (R$468 at December 31, 2021. These operations are usually contracted under the same terms of amounts, maturities and fees, and carried out with the financial institution of the same economic group, observing the limits set by Management.

76

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

According to the Company's treasury policies, swaps cannot be contracted with restrictions ("caps"), margins, as well as return clauses, double index, flexible options or any other types of transactions different from traditional "swap" and "forwards" operations to hedge against debts.

The Company calculates the effectiveness of hedge transactions atinception date and on continuing basis. Hedge transactions contracted in the year ended December 31, 2022 were effective in relation to the covered risk. For derivative transactions qualified as hedge accounting, according to technical pronouncement CPC 48 (IFRS 9), the debt, which is the hedge object, is also adjusted at fair value.

		Consolidated
		Notional value	Fair value
		12.31.2022	12.31.2021	12.31.2022	12.31.2021

Gains and losses on these contracts during the period ended December 31, 2022 are recorded as financial expenses, net and the balance payable at fair value is R$58 (receivable from R$6 as of December 31, 2021), the asset is recorded in line item "Derivative financial instrument - fair value hedge" and the liability in "Borrowings and financing".

(v)	Fair values of derivative financial instruments

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction.

Fair values are calculated by projecting the future cash flows of transactions, using the curves of CDI and discounting them to present value, using CDI market rates for swaps both disclosed by B3.

The market value of exchange coupon swaps versus CDI rate was obtained applying market exchange rates effective on the date of financial statements are prepared and rates are projected by the market calculated based on currency coupon curves.

In order to calculate the coupon of foreign currency indexed-positions, the straight-line convention - 360 consecutive days was adopted and to calculate the coupon of CDI indexed-positions, the exponential convention - 252 business days was adopted.

77

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

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.

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, Management considers an increase of 10% and a decrease of 10%, respectively, on risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments.

For the probable scenario, weighted exchange rate was R$5.47 on the due date, and the weighted interest rate weighted was 13.73% 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.

(i)	Other financial instruments

18.3	Fair value measurements

The Company discloses the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value of which differ from the carrying amount, in accordance with CPC 46 ("IFRS13"), which refer to the requirements of measurement and disclosure. The fair value hierarchy levels are defined below:

Level 1: Measurement of fair value at the balance sheet date based on quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for assets or liabilities that the entity may have access to at the measurement date.

Level 2: Measurement of fair value at the balance sheet date using other significant observable assumptions for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1.

78

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

Level 3: Measurement of fair value at the balance sheet date using unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The data for these models are obtained, whenever possible, from observable markets or from information, on comparable operations and transactions in the market. The judgments include the analyses of the data, such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about to these factors may affect the reported fair value of financial instruments.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables are equivalent to their carrying amounts.

The table below presents the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value of which is disclosed in the financial statements:

	Consolidated
	Carrying amount	Fair value
	12.31.2022	12.31.2022	Level
Financial assets and liabilities
Trade receibles with credit card companies and sales vouchers	109	109	2
Swaps of annual rate between currencies	(58)	(58)	2
Borrowings and financing (FVPL)	(412)	(412)	2
Borrowings and financing and debentures (amortized cost)	(5,393)	(5,268)	2
Total	(5,754)	(5,629)

There were no changes between the fair value measurements levels in the period ended December 31, 2022.

Cross-currency and interest rate swaps and borrowings and financing are classified in level 2 since the fair value of such financial instruments was determined based on readily observable market inputs, such as expected interest rate and current and future foreign exchange rate.

18.4	Consolidated position of derivative transactions

The Company and its subsidiaries have derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: Itaú BBA, BBVA, Santander and Banco Popular.

The consolidated position of outstanding derivative financial instruments are presented in the table below:

			Consolidated
Risk	Reference value	Due date	12.31.2022	12.31.2021
Debt
USD - BRL	US$ 50 millions	2023	(35)	(7)
USD - BRL	US$ 30 millions	2024	(23)	-
Interest rate - BRL	R$ 21	2026	-	1
Total		(58)	(6)

The hedge effects at fair value for the better result of the period ending on December 31, 2022 will result in a loss of R$83 (gain of R$105 on December 31, 2021).

20.	Income tax and social contribution

Current income tax and social contribution

Current income tax and social contribution assets and liabilities for the current and prior years are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to calculate taxes are those in force or substantially in force at the end of each balance sheet date.

Income taxes comprise Corporate Income Tax ("IRPJ") and Social Contribution on Net Income ("CSLL"), calculated based on taxable income (adjusted income), at the applicable rates set forth in the legislation in force: 15% on taxable income plus an additional 10% on annual taxable income exceeding R$240 for IRPJ, and 9% for CSLL After the unfavorable decision of the STF, in February 2023, about the limits of the Res judicata, with modulation for application of its effects as of September 2007, the Company becomes a Social Contribution taxpayer as of the 9% rate, which should be added to the Income Tax rate of 25% to reach the total of 34%.

Deferred income tax and social contribution

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be available against which to deduct temporary differences and unused tax loss carryforwards, except where the deferred income tax and social contribution assets relating to the deductible temporary difference arise from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor tax income or losses.

With respect to deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, deferred income tax and social contribution are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax and social contribution assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax and social contribution to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax and social contribution assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will allow these assets to be recovered.

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets do not have a statutory term, but their use, as defined by law, is limited to 30% of the taxable profit for each year for Brazilian legal entities, and are related to their subsidiaries that have tax planning opportunities to use these balances.

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets measurement requires a significant judgment by Management, based on the attribution of profit and the level of future taxable profit, in accordance with the approved strategic plan by the Board of Directors.

Deferred taxes related to items directly recognized in equity are also recognized in equity and not in the statement of operations.

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal or contractual right to offset tax assets against income tax liabilities, and the deferred taxes refer to the same taxpayer entity and to the same tax authority.

In virtue of nature and complexity of the Group's businesses, the differences between the actual results and the assumptions adopted, or the future changes to these assumptions, may result in future adjustments to tax revenues and expenses already recorded. The Company and its subsidiaries set up provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for taxes due. The value of these provisions is based on several factors, such as the experience of previous inspections and the different interpretations of tax regulations by the taxpayer and the responsible tax authority. These differences in interpretation can refer to a wide variety of issues, depending on the conditions in force at the home of the respective entity.

(*) In September 2021, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) ruled, in terms of general repercussion, for the unconstitutionality of the collection of IRPJ and CSLL on amounts related to Selic interest arising from tax overpayments. In fact, the Company recorded R$238, of which R$18 recorded under the heading of Taxes Recoverable and R$220 in reversal of deferred income tax liabilities as of December 31, 2021. In 2022 other tax overdue items were recorded by the Company, with an IRPJ and CSLL effect of R$112.

(**) Certain Company operations benefit from state tax incentives which, pursuant to article 30 of Law No. 12,973/14 and Complementary Law No. 160/17, could be characterized as investment subsidies.

(***) As mentioned in notes 20 and 21, the STF decided by the limits of the res judicata leading the Company to be subject to a global rate of 34% for income tax and CSLL. Thus, the effects above represent: i) the effect of the contingency recorded on the matter, and ii) the estimate of the balances of negative basis (net operating losses) of CSLL and taxes on profits abroad considering the new rate.

21	Provision for contingencies

Provisions are recognized when the Company and its subsidiaries have a present obligation (legal or non-formalized) due to a past event, it is likely that an outflow of funds is required to settle the obligation, and it is possible to make a reliable estimate of the amount that obligation. The expense related to any provision is recorded in the income for the year, net of any reimbursement. In the case of success fees, the Company and its subsidiaries have a policy of provisioning at the time the fees are incurred, that is, when the cases are finally judged, the amounts involved for the cases still being disclosed in the explanatory notes not finalized.

The assessment of the likelihood of loss includes the assessment of the available evidence, the hierarchy of laws, the available jurisprudence, the most recent court decisions, their legal relevance, the history of occurrence and amounts involved and the assessment of external lawyers.

The provision for risks is estimated by the Company's management, supported by its legal counsel and was recognized in an amount considered sufficient to cover probable losses.

21.3

Tax

As per prevailing legislation, tax claims are subject to monetary indexation, which refers to an adjustment to the provision for tax risks according 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:

Social Contribution on Net Income

Since 1992 the Company had a res judicata decision regarding the non-payment of Social Contribution on Profits. Since then, the Company treated the assessments related to this issue as remote risk, based on the assessment of its legal advisors.

The Federal Supreme Court decided for the limitation of the res judicata and modulated its effects to reach taxable events as from September 2007 and the assessments after this period were reassessed by the Company, leading to the recognition of a provision for contingencies in the amount of R$600.

As mentioned in note 20.1, the Company re-estimated the balances of negative basis, temporary differences and taxes on profits abroad considering the new tax rate, representing a gain of R$312.

The effect of the provisioned risk was R$600, net of deferred tax credits from negative basis, temporary differences and taxes on profits abroad of R$312, resulted in a net Contribution Social expense of R$288, of which R$180 in continued operations and R$108 in discontinued.

In addition to this matter, the Company has received assessments related to the disallowance of electric energy credits. After the judgment of the Federal Supreme Court, which dismissed the lawsuit related to the matter, under the allegation that it is a matter of infra-constitutional law, the Company evaluated and concluded for a provision of R$285 of the lawsuits because it understands that the chances were reduced.

The Company and its subsidiaries have filed lawsuits claiming the right to exclude the ICMS amount from the calculation bases of these two contributions.

On March 15, 2017, based on general repercussions, the STF determined that ICMS should be excluded from the bases of these federal contributions, in line with the thesis claimed by the Company. The Attorney General's Office of the National Treasury (PGFN), in turn, appealed against this decision, with the aim of modulating its effects and clarifying which ICMS value should, after all, be object of suppression from the PIS and COFINS bases.

In 2019, some of the Company's subsidiaries obtained a favorable decision in their own proceedings, resulting in the recording of tax credits in the amount of R$382, of which R$198 in the financial result.

On October 29, 2020, the Company obtained a favorable decision in its individual action regarding this tax matter, resulting in the recording of a tax credit in the amount of R$1,609 (R$613 in the financial result), in the period ended on 31 December 2020, net of provisions for installments that were eventually considered unrealizable.

On May 13, 2021, the STF considered the appeals presented by PGFN in relation to that decision taken on March 15, 2017 and expressed an understanding in line with that of the Company and its legal advisors.

During calendar year 2021, the Company reassessed the tax credit, reversing part of the provisions previously constituted in the amount of R$280 (R$109 of which in the financial result).

The calculations prepared by the Company are based on the understanding of its legal advisors and the estimated realization of the asset is, at most, 7 (seven) years.

Still on the subject, Via obtained a favorable decision in May 2020, which includes the amount for which GPA is entitled to be reimbursed, under the terms of the association agreement signed between GPA and the Klein family in the transaction that gave rise to the Via. The periods to which GPA is entitled to reimbursement refer to the subsidiary Globex (which was incorporated in the formation of Via) for the years 2003 to 2010. CBD recognized R$231 of a credit with Via in 2020 and R$278 in the second quarter of 2022, based on the documentation analyzed and validated to date. The related gain was recognized in net income from discontinued operations.

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 "Procedimento").

The Proceeding aims to discuss the calculation of the rental fees and other operational matters related to the 60 (sixty) 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.

As communicated to the market, on July 7, 2021, the parties reached an agreement to amicably resolve past disputes and terminate the Proceedings. The agreement improved the Agreements, maintaining the long term lease term of 20 years, renewable for another 20 years at CBD's discretion, but introduced new rules that are more adapted to the current market, which allow for the optimization of the use of properties and bring potential for gain for both Parties with the best use of real estate spaces. As a result of this agreement, the Company recorded in the result in the second quarter of 2021 the amount of R$17 in other operating expenses, in addition to the remeasurement related to contractual changes in accordance with IFRS 16 / CPC 06(R2).

21.11

Via

The Company ceased to exercise corporate control over Via in June 2019. In the 2nd quarter of 2021, Via took certain measures and fully replaced the guarantees that had been provided to third parties by GPA in favor of that company, with no further obligations remaining of GPA on this matter. The Operating Agreement previously signed expired in October 2021 and is therefore terminated. Via still uses the Extra brand for the sale of products sold by it under the Extra Brand Usage License Agreement, which allows Via to carry out e-commerce activities through the Extra.com domain. With the termination of the Operating Agreement, GPA can also promote electronic commerce in electronics on any platforms.

GPA, together with Sendas, Via and Itaú Unibanco are partners in Financeira Itaú CBD S.A. Crédito, Financiamento e Investimento ("FIC").

CBD is the holder of a claim against Via arising from a final and unappealable tax action, the amounts of which were calculated by a specialized company hired by the parties involved, as well as being responsible, on the other hand, for any supervenience liabilities incurred up to a certain date. , if final and unappealable, on behalf of the former Globex. The Company recorded these excessive liabilities to the extent that management considered them to be probable losses due to the progress of the lawsuit and/or gathered documentation to support such a loss.

Leases

22.1	Lease obligations

When entering into a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The contract is, or contains, a lease if it transfers the right to control the use of the identified asset for a specified period in exchange for consideration.

The Company leases equipment and commercial spaces, including stores and distribution centers, under cancellable and non-cancellable lease agreements. The terms of the contracts vary substantially between 5 and 25 years.

The Company and its subsidiaries as lessees

The Company evaluates its lease agreements in order to identify lease terms for a right to use, using the exemptions provided for contracts with a term of less than twelve months and an individual asset value below US$5,000 (five thousand dollars).

The contracts are then recorded, when the lease begins, as a Lease Liability against the Right of Use (notes 14 and 15), both at the present value of the minimum lease payments, using the interest rate implicit in the contract, if this can be used, or an incremental interest rate considering loans obtained by the Company.

The lease term used in the measurement corresponds to the term that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend the lease or not to exercise the option to terminate the lease.

Subsequently, payments made are segregated between financial charges and reduction of the lease liability, in order to obtain a constant interest rate on the liability balance. Financial charges are recognized as financial expenses for the period.

Lease use assets are amortized over the lease term. Capitalizations for improvements, improvements and renovations carried out in stores are amortized over their estimated useful life or the expected term of use of the asset, limited if there is evidence that the lease will not be extended.

Variable rents are recognized as expenses in the years in which they are incurred.

The Company and its subsidiaries as lessors

Leases where the Company does not substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset are classified as operating leases. The initial direct costs of negotiating operating leases are added to the book value of the leased asset and recognized over the term of the contract, on the same basis as rental income.

Variable rents are recognized as income in the years in which they are earned.

b.	Earnings reserve

(i)	Legal reserve: corresponds to appropriations of 5% of net income of each year, limited to 20% of the capital.

(ii)

Expansion reserve: corresponds to appropriations of the amount determined by shareholders to reserve funds to finance additional fixed and working capital investment through the allocation of up to 100% of the net income remaining after the appropriations determined by law and supported by capital budget, approved at shareholders' meeting.

c.	Stock options

It recognizes the expenses associated to the Company's executives' share-based payments in accordance with CPC 10 (R1)/ (IFRS 2) - Share-based payment.

The Company's employees and administrators (including its subsidiaries) may receive payment based on shares, when employees provide services in exchange for equity instruments ("transactions settled with shares").

The Company measures the transaction costs of employees eligible for share based compensation, based on the fair value of equity instruments on the grant date. Estimating the fair value of share-based payment transactions requires a definition of the most appropriate valuation model, which depends on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires a definition of the most appropriate information for the valuation model, including the stock option life expectancy, volatility and dividend return, as well as the preparation of corresponding assumptions.

The cost of operations settled with shares is recognized as an expense for the year, together with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity, during the year in which the performance and / or service provision conditions are met. Accumulated expenses recognized in relation to equity instruments on each base date, up to the acquisition date, reflect the extent to which the acquisition period has expired and the best estimate of the Company and its subsidiaries of the number of equity instruments that will be acquired.

The expense or reversal of expenses for each year represents the movement in accumulated expenses recognized at the beginning and end of the year. Expenses related to services that have not completed their acquisition period are not recognized, except in the case of operations settled with shares in which the acquisition depends on a market condition or non-acquisition of rights, which are treated as acquired, regardless of whether the market condition or non-acquisition of rights is satisfied or not, provided that all other performance and / or service provision conditions are met.

When an equity instrument is modified, the minimum expense recognized is the expense that would have been incurred if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognized in the event of a change that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction or that otherwise benefits the employee, as measured on the date of the change.

96

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuição Notes to the consolidated financial statements December 31, 2022 (In millions of Brazilian reais, unless otherwise stated)

In the event of cancellation of an equity instrument, it is treated as if it were fully acquired on the date of cancellation, and any expenses not yet recognized, referring to the premium, are recognized immediately in the income for the year. This includes any premium whose conditions of non-acquisition under the control of the Company or the employee are not met. However, if the canceled plan is replaced by a new plan and substitute grants are generated, on the date it is granted, the canceled grant and the new plan will be treated as if they were a modification of the original grant, as described in the previous paragraph. All cancellations for transactions settled with shares are treated in the same way.

The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected as an additional dilution of shares in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

The following describes the Former Stock Option Plan on December 31, 2022.

Consolidated information of share-based payment plans - GPA

According to the terms of the series plans, each option offers its beneficiary the right to buy a share of the Company. In both plans, the grace period is 36 months, always measured from the date on which the Board of Directors approved the issue of the respective series of options. The stock options may be exercised by their beneficiaries within 6 months after the end of the grace period of the respective grant date. The condition for the options to be exercisable (vested) is for the beneficiary to remain as an employee of the Company. The plans differ exclusively in the exercise price of the options and in the existence or not of a restriction period for the sale of the shares acquired in the exercise of the option.

According to the plans, the options granted in each of the series may represent maximum 0.7% of the total shares issued by the Company.

At December 31, 2022 there were 160 thousands treasury preferred shares which may be used as guarantee for the options granted in the plan. The preferred share price at B3 was R$16.52 per share.

The table below shows the maximum percentage of dilution to which current shareholders eventually being subject to in the event that all options granted are exercised until 2022:

	12.31.2022	12.31.2021
Number of shares	270,139	269,376
Balance of effective stock options granted	3,038	1,412
Maximum percentage of dilution	1.12%	0.52%

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date, by using the options pricing model "Black&Scholes" taking into account the following assumptions for the series B6 and C6: (a) expectation of dividends of 0.67%, (b) expectation of volatility nearly 32.74% and (c) the weighted average interest rate without risk of 7.32%.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated at the grant date using the option pricing model Black & Scholes, taking into account the following assumptions for the B7 and C7 series: (a) dividend expectation of 1.61%, (b) volatility expectation of nearly 37.09% and (c) the weighted average interest rate of 5.47%.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated at the grant date using the option pricing model Black & Scholes, taking into account the following assumptions for the B8 and C8 series: (a) dividend expectation of 4.50%, (b) volatility expectation of nearly 43.48% and (c) the weighted average interest rate of 11.96%.

The expectation of remaining average life of the series outstanding at December 31, 2022 is 2.13 year (1.06 year at December 31, 2021). The weighted average fair value of options granted at December 31, 2022 was R$12.80 (R$16.02 at December 31, 2021).

The movement of shares above refers to the Company's shares. After the spin-off of Sendas Distribuidora, and during the transition period, certain executives of the Company have compensation in shares of Sendas Distribuidora, recorded as an expense. The movement of the amount of options granted, the weighted average of the exercise price and the weighted average of the term remainder are presented in the table below:

24.2	Governmental subsidy reserve (tax incentives)

As mentioned in note 20.1, many of the tax incentives granted by the States started to be characterized as subsidies for investments, not achieved by the taxation of income tax and social contribution.

The respective amounts of these incentives must be allocated, in shareholders' equity, in a tax incentive reserve account. As provided for in article 30 of Law No. 12,973/14, said reserve may be used to absorb losses, provided that the other profit reserves have already been fully absorbed, with the exception of the legal reserve, or to increase capital.

This same legal provision provides that the amounts computed in the tax incentive reserve should not form the basis for calculating the minimum mandatory dividend, and the Company must submit amounts that may be allocated to partners or shareholders for taxation by the IRPJ and CSLL.

On June 29, 2018, was approved in extraordinary shareholders' meeting the proposal the management to reallocate the amount R$48 arising from tax incentives treated as subsidies for investments granted to the Company in the years of 2013 to 2017.

In December 2018 the company allocated an additional R$10 reserve tax incentives to be approved at an Extraordinary General Meeting on April 25, 2019.

24.3	Dividends and Interest on Equity

The distribution of dividends to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability at the end of the year, based on the minimum mandatory dividends defined in the bylaws.

30.	Segment information

Management considers that it has just one segment denominated Food retail - includes the banners "Pão de Açúcar", "Extra Supermercado", "Mercado Extra", "Minimercado Extra", "Minuto Pão de Açúcar", "Compre Bem", "Posto Extra and "GPA Malls".

As described in note 1.2, the Éxito Group, previously presented as a separate segment, is being presented as a discontinued operation and is considered a segment until completion of the distribution of the shares held by the Company to its direct shareholders.

The "Other Businesses" also comprise the operations of James (incorporated into the parent company in December, 2022), Stix and the Cdiscount equity.

The eliminations of the result and balance sheet are presented within the segment itself.

Expenses related to the discontinuity of Grupo Éxito's operations and the tax on income earned abroad paid in Brazil are considered in the Grupo Éxito segment.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. The segment performance is evaluated based on operating income and is measured consistently with operating income in the financial statements.

The Company is engaged in operations of retail stores located in 14 states and the Federal District of Brazil. Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker who has been identified as the Chief Executive Officer.

The chief operating decision-maker allocates resources and assesses performance by reviewing results and other information related to segments.

The Company deems irrelevant the disclosure of information on sales per product category, given that similar products are sold based on each business' strategies and each segment has its own management controls. Thus, any aggregation product for disclosure is practically impossible.

The Company measures the results of segments using the accounting practices adopted in Brazil and IFRS, among other measures, each segment's operating profit, which includes certain corporate overhead allocations. At times, the Company reviews the measurement of each segment's operating profit, including any corporate overhead allocations, as determined by the information regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision-maker.
