Impacts of the pandemic on the Company’s financial statements

Since December 2019, we face the pandemic COVID-19. The Company has been monitoring the impacts on its operations. Management took actions, among them, we appointed a crisis committee composed of senior management, which makes decisions in line with recommendations of the Brazilian Ministry of Health, local authorities, and professional associations.

The Company implemented all the measures to mitigate the transmission of virus at our stores, distribution centers, and offices, such as frequent sanitization, employees’ safety/protection equipment, flexible working hours, and home office, among others.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, our stores have remained open during periods of general lockdown, as we are considered an essential service. The Company has a strong commitment to society to continue selling essential products to its customers. We did not face supply-side hurdles from industries that continued supplying our distribution centers and stores.

On March 10, 2020, CVM issued circular letter CVM-SNC/SEP No. 02/2020 and on January 29, 2021 issued circular letter CVM-SNC/SEP No. 01/2021, guiding publicly held Companies to carefully assess the impacts of COVID-19 on their business and report in the financial statements the main risks and uncertainties as result of such analysis, following the applicable accounting standards.

In this regard, the Company fully analyzed its financial statements, in addition to updating the analyses of going concern. Below are the key topics analyzed:

• The Company reviewed its budget, adopted to estimate the calculation of the recovery of store assets and intangible assets on December 31, 2021, and no significant reductions were seen in revenues, and in other items of the income statement to evidence impairment of these assets. Due to uncertainties concerning the end of the pandemic and its macroeconomic effects, the Company analyzed the indication of impairment for certain assets and, accordingly, updated its impairment tests. There were no new elements in the period ended March 31, 2022 that the Company's need to review the asset recovery test.

The recoverable value is determined by calculating the value in use, from cash projections deriving from financial budgets, which were reviewed and approved by senior management for the next three years, considering the assumptions updated for December 31, 2020. The discount rate applied to cash flow projections is 10.40% on December 31, 2021 (9.80% on December 31, 2020), and the cash flows to exceed three years are extrapolated, applying a growth rate of 6.60% on December 31, 2021 (4.62% on December 31, 2020). As a result of this analysis, we did not identify the need for recording a provision for impairment of these assets.

• The Company analyzed the collection of balances of trade receivables from credit card operators, clients, galleries at our stores, property rentals, and concluded that, at this point, it is not necessary to record provisions for losses, in addition to those already recorded;

• Concerning inventories, the Company does not foresee the need to make a market price adjustment;

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

• At this point, the Company does not foresee additional funding; and

• Finally, the costs necessary to adapt the Company’s stores to serve the public were not significant.

In summary, according to Management’s estimates and the monitoring of the impacts of the pandemic, including the Omicron variant, there are no effects that should be recorded in the Company’s interim financial information for the period ended March 31, 2022, nor are there any effects on the continuity and / or estimates of the Company that would justify changes or recording provisions in addition to those already disclosed. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate the impacts and, make the disclosures.

1.3

Possible impacts of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the interim financial information

Our business could be adversely affected by unstable economic and political conditions and geopolitical conflicts, such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While we do not have any customer or direct supplier relationships in either country at this time, the current military conflict, and related sanctions, as well as export/import controls or actions that may be initiated by nations including Brazil and other potential uncertainties could adversely affect our business and/or our supply chain, business partners or customers, and could cause changes in our customers buying patterns and interrupt our ability to supply products.

Inflation, energy and commodities costs may fluctuate as a result the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related economic sanctions. These fluctuations may result in an increase in our transportation costs for distribution, utility costs for our retail stores and costs to purchase products from our suppliers. A continual rise in energy and commodities costs could adversely affect consumer spending and demand for our products and increase our operating costs, both of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

While the precise effect of the ongoing military conflict and global economies remains uncertain, they have already resulted in significant volatility in financial markets, as well as in an increase in energy and commodity prices globally. In the event geopolitical tensions fail to abate or deteriorate further, additional governmental sanctions may be enacted adversely impacting the global economy, its banking and monetary systems, markets or customers for our products.

The Company does not operate in these countries, but will continue to monitor the impacts of the war. On March 31,2022, there are no effects that should be recorded in the Company's interim financial information, nor are there any effects on the Company's continuity and/or estimates that would justify changes or recording of provisions, in addition to those already disclosed. The Company will continue to monitor and assess the impacts and, if necessary, will make the corresponding disclosures.

8.1	State VAT tax credits - ICMS

	Since 2008, the Brazilian States have been substantially amending their local laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax replacement system. The referred system implies the prepayment of ICMS throughout the commercial chain, upon goods outflow from a manufacturer or importer or their inflow into the State. The expansion of such system to a wider range of products traded at retail assumes that the trading cycle of these products will end in the State, such that ICMS is fully owed to such State.

	The refund process requires evidence through tax documents and digital files of transactions made, entitling the Company to such a refund. Only after ratification by State tax authorities and/or the compliance with specific ancillary obligations aiming to support such evidence that credits can be used by the Company, which occur in periods after these are generated.

	Since the number of items traded at the retail subject to tax replacement has been continuously increasing, the tax credit to be refunded by the Company has also grown. The Company has been realizing referred credits with authorization for immediate offset with those credits due in view of its operations, through the special regime, also other procedures regulated by state rules.

	With respect to credits that cannot yet be immediately offset, the Company's Management, based on a technical recovery study, based on the future expectation of growth and consequent compensation with taxes payable arising from its operations, believes that its future compensation is viable. The studies mentioned are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information extracted from the strategic planning previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information on March 31, 2022, the Company's management has monitoring controls over adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of the ICMS balance to be recovered, as shown in the table below:

	Year	Amount
	In 1 year		505
	From 1 to 2 years		442
	From 2 to 3 years		58
	From 3 to 4 years		48
	From 4 to 5 years		34
	After 5 years		87
	Total		1,174

8.2	PIS and COFINS credits

	On March 15, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) recognized, as a matter of general repercussion, the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation base. On May 13, 2021, the STF judged the Declaration Embargoes in relation to the amount to be excluded from the calculation basis of the contributions, which should only be the ICMS paid, or if the entire ICMS, as shown in the respective invoices.

	The STF decided to modulate the effects of the decision, providing that taxpayers who distributed lawsuits before March 15, 2017 or who had administrative proceedings in progress before that same date, would be have rights to take advantage of the past period. As the decision was rendered in a process with recognized general repercussions, the understanding reached is binding on all judges and courts. The Company filed a lawsuit on October 31, 2013, having obtained a favorable decision and a final and unappealable decision on July 16, 2021, thus allowing the recognition of the credit for the period covered by the lawsuit.

	Currently the Company, according to the favorable judgment of the Supreme Court, has been recognizing the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, based on the same assumptions mentioned previously.

14.1	Considerations on risk factors that may affect the Company's business

14.1.1	Credit Risk

	• Cash and cash equivalents

	In order to minimize credit risks, the Company adopts investments 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.

	• Trade receivables

	Credit risk related to trade receivables is minimized by the fact that a large portion of 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, regarding the trade receivables collected in installments, the Company monitor the risk through the credit concession and by period analysis of the provision for losses.

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

	There are no amounts receivable or sales that are individually, higher than 5% of trade receivables or sales.

14.1.2	Interest rate risk

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

14.1.3	Foreign currency exchange rate risk

	The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, which may increase outstanding balances of foreign currency-denominated borrowings. The Company uses derivatives, such as swaps, aiming to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate risk, converting the cost of debt into domestic currency and interest rates.

14.1.4	Capital risk management

	The main objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains its credit rating and a well-balanced equity ratio, in order to support businesses and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts taking into account changes in the economic conditions.

	The capital structure is thus demonstrated:

				3/31/2022	12/31/2021

	Borrowings, financing and debentures			(10,999)	(8,033)
	(-) Cash and cash equivalents			4,389	2,550
	(-) Derivative financial instruments			83	32
	Net debt			(6,527)	(5,451)

	Shareholders’ equity			2,984	2,766
	% Net debt over Shareholders’ equity			219%	197%

14.1.5	Liquidity risk management

	The Company manages liquidity risk through the daily analysis of cash flows and maturities of financial assets and liabilities.

	The table below summarizes the aging profile of the Company’s financial liabilities on March 31, 2022.

		Less than 1 year	1 to 5 years	More than 5 years	Total
	Borrowings and financing	169	1,668	14	1,851
	Debenture	785	8,169	4,751	13,705
	Derivative financial instruments	135	163	220	518
	Lease liabilities	919	4,248	8,642	13,809
	Trade payable	6,798	-	-	6,798
	Total	8,806	14,248	13,627	36,681

	The table above was prepared considering the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date the Company may be required to make a payment or be eligible to receive a payment. To the extent that interest rates are floating, the non-discounted amount is obtained based on interest rate curves for the period ended March 31, 2022. Therefore, certain balances are not consistent with the balances reported in the balance sheet.

14.2	Derivative financial instruments

			Notional value		Fair value
			3/31/2022	12/31/2021	3/31/2022	12/31/2021

	Short Position		(1,888)	(1,888)	(1,808)	(1,873)

	Net hedge position		-	-	34	(4)

	Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts during the period ended March 31, 2022, are recorded as financial income or expenses and the balance receivable at fair value is R$34 (balance payable of R$4 on December 31, 2021). Assets are recorded as “financial instruments” and liabilities as “borrowings and financing”.

	The effects of the fair value hedge recorded in the statement of operations for the period ended March 31, 2022, resulted in a loss of R$4, recorded under debt of cost, note 23 (loss R$10 on March 31, 2021).

14.2.1	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 using projected the future cash flow, using the CDI curves and discounting to present value, using CDI market rates for swap both disclosed by the B3.

	The fair value of exchange coupon swaps versus CDI rate was determined based on market exchange rates effective at the date of the financial statements and projected based on the 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.

14.3	Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments

	The market curves (currencies and interest) of B3 were considered as the most likely scenario, in Management's assessment, on the maturity dates of each of the operations.

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

	For the probable scenario, the weighted exchange rate defined was R$5.23 on the due date, and the weighted interest rate was 12.71% per year.

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

	The Company disclosed the net exposure of derivative financial instruments, the corresponding financial instruments and certain financial instruments in the sensitivity analysis table below, for each of the aforementioned scenarios.

							Market projections
	Transactions	Note	Risk (CDI Increase)		Carrying Amount	As of 3/31/2022	Scenario (I)	Scenario (II)	Scenario (III)

	Net exposure loss					(6,944)	(1,074)	(1,335)	(1,600)

14.4	Fair values measurement

	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 / IFRS 13, which refer to the requirements of measurement and disclosure. The fair value hierarchy levels are defined below:

	Level 1: fair value measurement at the balance date considering quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which the Company can access at the measure date.

	Level 2: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level inputs that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable, except for quoted prices included on Level 1.

	Level 3: Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

	The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts.

	The table below sets forth the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, for which the fair value has been disclosed in the interim financial information:

			Carrying amount		Fair value
			3/31/2022	12/31/2021	3/31/2022	12/31/2021	Level
	Trade receivables with credit cards companies and sales vouchers		280	155	280	155	2
	Swaps of annual rates between currencies		(49)	(11)	(49)	(11)	2
	Interest rate swaps		3	4	3	4	2
	Interest rate swaps - CRI		80	3	80	3	2
	Borrowings and financing (fair value)		(296)	(341)	(295)	(341)	2
	Borrowings and financing (amortized cost)		(10,654)	(7,656)	(10,347)	(7,372)	2
			(10,636)	(7,846)	(10,328)	(7,562)

	There were no changes between fair value measurement hierarchy levels during the period ended March 31, 2022.

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

14.5	Operations with derivative financial instruments

	The Company has derivative contracts with the following financial institutions: Itaú BBA, Scotiabank and BR Partners.

These tax assessments amount to R$1,052 on March 31, 2022 (R$1,128 on December 31, 2021). These proceedings are pending final judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.

	ISS (services tax), IPTU (urban property tax), Fees and other – The Company has received tax assessments relating to discrepancies in payments of IPTU, fines due to non-compliance with ancillary obligations, ISS – refund of advertising expenses and various fees, totaling R$17 on March 31, 2022 (R$13 on December 31, 2021).

Proceedings have been discussed in the administrative and judicial levels.

	Other litigation– These proceedings refer to real estate lawsuits in which the Company claims the renewal of lease agreements and rents according to market prices. These lawsuits involve proceedings litigated in civil court, and special civil court, as well as administrative proceedings filed by inspection bodies, such as the consumer defense body (PROCONs), the National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality– INMETRO, the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance - ANVISA, among others, totaling R$49 on March 31, 2022 (R$47 on December 31, 2021).

	Three collective proceedings were opened due to an approach to a customer, in August 2021 at the store in Limeira - SP, in which claim supposed racial issues. All cases were satisfactorily answered and are still in the initial phase awaiting regular progress by the judiciary. Therefore, it is still not possible to reasonably estimate the amounts involved, due to the subjectivity of the matter and the absence of precedent in the jurisprudence in collective proceedings on the subject. No significant impact on interim financial information is expected.

	The Company engages external legal counsel to represent it in the tax assessments, whose fees are contingent on the final outcome of the lawsuits. Percentages may vary according to qualitative and quantitative factors of each proceeding, on March 31, 2022, the estimated amount, in case of success of all lawsuits, was approximately R$12 (R$15 on December 31, 2021).

	Tax claims		640
	Social security and labos		97
	Civil and others		302
	Total		1,039

	The guarantees cost is aproximately 0.31% per year of the value of the lawsuits and it is registered as expense in the course of time.

15.6	Deduction of ICMS from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS

	Since the adoption of the non-cumulative regime to calculate PIS and COFINS, the Company has claimed the right to deduct ICMS taxes from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS. On March 15, 2017, the STF recognized, in terms of general repercussion, the unconstitutionality of including ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis. In May 2021, the STF Plenary judged the Declaration Embargoes, in relation to the amount to be excluded from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, if it should only be the ICMS paid, or if all the ICMS highlighted in the invoices, the STF issued a favorable decision to the taxpayers, concluding that all outstanding ICMS should be excluded from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis.

	Since of such decision on March 15, 2017, the procedural progress has been as anticipated by our legal advisors without any change in the management's judgment. On December 31, 2021, with a favorable decision in its actions, the Company recorded its right in the amount of R$216, see note 8.2.
