São Paulo, April 19, 2022 - Assaí Atacadista [B3: ASAI3; NYSE: ASAI] announces its sales performance for the first quarter of 2022 (1Q22). The information herein is preliminary, unaudited and, thus, subject to review. Variations are calculated in comparison to the same period of the previous year, except where stated otherwise. All comments on the performance of same-store sales are adjusted for calendar effect.

STRONG SALES GROWTH AND ACCELERATION IN SAME-STORE SALES

Net Sales amounted to R$ 11.4 billion in the 1Q22, a record for the first quarter, representing an increase of R$ 2.0 billion when compared to the same period of 2021 and a +21.1% growth, which represents a strong acceleration compared to 4Q21 performance (+8.1%). This result reflects the strong performance of the 32 stores opened in the last 12 months (+15.4%) as well as the robust performance of same-store sales (+6.7%), which evolved during the quarter and reached double-digit growth in the accumulated of February and March.

In 1Q22, same-store sales improved significantly, despite the strong double-digit comparison base (+11.2%), supported by the fast adjustments on assortment and the successful commercial strategy, very attentive to market trends and consumer preferences.

ORGANIC EXPANSION CONTINUATION AND FAST PROGRESS IN HYPERMARKET CONVERSIONS

During 1Q22, Assaí opened 4 new stores, of which 2 in the North and 2 in the Northeast, expanding the footprint in regions with high growth potential. In the last 12 months, 32 stores were inaugurated, which represents an expansion of 22% in total sales area and attests the Company’s top-notch execution capacity. Currently, there are 216 Assaí stores in operation with total sales area of 986 thousand sqm.

Assaí continues to advance in its expansion strategy: 6 organic stores are currently under construction and the conversion process of Extra Hiper stores progress rapidly. At the end of March 2022, 60 commercial points were in Assaí possession. The remaining 10 commercial points are pending fulfillment of the conditions required for concluding the transaction.

According to the stores’ list attached, the hypermarket conversions will enable Assaí to consolidate its presence in 16 state capitals and major cities through locations in mature and densely populated areas. The conversion schedule is on track: around 40 stores, which are expected to be opened in the 2^nd semester of 2022, are already under construction.

The hypermarket conversions to be carried out during 2022 and 2023 have high performance potential, as confirmed by the successful performance of the conversions carried out in recent years. The Extra Hiper stores converted into Assaí throughout the last 12 months achieved an average sales uplift of 3x when compared to the sales under the hypermarket format.

DIGITAL INITIATIVES ADVANCING RAPIDLY

Online sales offer greater convenience for Assaí customers. Currently, clients in 55 cities of 17 states can shop using the app Cornershop by Uber or Rappi. The partnership with Cornershop, implemented in August 2021, continues to register rapid growth, with sales improving 6x compared to the project’s initial rollout and more than doubling in relation to 4Q21.
