Comments on the Results


Gross margin                       CBD's gross profit increased 26.7% in the
of 29.0% in the                    quarter, reaching R$ 668.9 million, which
quarter                            represented a gross margin of 29.0%, above
                                   the 28.7% registered in the same period of
                                   the previous year. In the first nine months
                                   of 2002, the gross profit increased 17.2%,
                                   reaching the amount of R$ 1,868.7 million and
                                   a margin of 28.5% (27.8% in the same period
                                   of 2001).


                                   This margin increase was due to efficiency
                                   gains, from which we can highlight the
                                   shrinkage reduction, from 1.6% to 1.3%; to an
                                   improvement in category management; and to
                                   better negotiations with our suppliers,
                                   reflecting scale gains obtained in the last
                                   few years and the restructuring of CBD's
                                   commercial area in 2001.

                                   In the quarter, the operating expenses
                                   increased 25.9%, totaling R$ 477.5 million or
                                   20.7% of the net sales (20.6% in the 3rd
                                   quarter of 2001). In the first 9 months, the
                                   operating expenses added R$ 1,328.0 million,
                                   equivalent to 20.2% of the net sales in the
                                   period.

Non-recurring                      We note that the third quarter was marked by
expenses of R$ 8.7                 the integration of the Se Supermercados chain
million                            (acquired on June 30, 2002), which generated
                                   extraordinary expenses in the amount of R$
                                   8.7 million. These non-recurring items arose
                                   mainly from the recognition of pre-operating
                                   expenses previously deferred by Se, severance
                                   payments and from the termination of
                                   technology and consulting contracts of the
                                   acquired chain.

                                   If we exclude the extraordinary expenses, the
                                   total operating expenses grew 23.6% in the
                                   quarter and 15.1% in the first nine months,
                                   respectively 20.3% and 20.1% of the net
                                   sales.

EBITDA margin,                     The third quarter EBITDA amounted to R$ 191.4
without                            million, representing a growth of 28.7% and a
extraordinary                      8.3% margin. In the first 9 months, the
expenses, reached                  EBITDA reached R$ 540.7 million, which
8.7%                               represented a growth of 20.4% and a 8.2%
                                   margin. If we do not consider the
                                   non-recurring expenses with Se, CBD's EBITDA
                                   registered a growth of 34.5% in the quarter
                                   and 20.5% in the first nine months, with
                                   margins of 8.7% and 8.4%, respectively.

                                   million, growing 26.6%, mainly due to a cash

                                   of 2001. The financial expenses of the

                                   It is worth mentioning that CBD does not have
