FIRST QUARTER 2000 FINANCIAL RESULTS

o    Total sales grew 30.0% compared to 1Q99 and same store sales grew 3.3%,
     even without Easter sales, which occurred in April 2000
o    EBITDA grew 41.8% compared to 1Q99
o    Net Profit of R$42.1 million
o    New acquisitions in 2000 already total 67,468m2 of sales area and R$858.0
     million in annual revenue
o    Recent event: Acquisition of 11 supermarkets of the Parati chain in the
     city of Curitiba and 13 stores of the Rosado chain located in the state of
     Sao Paulo (Vale do Paraiba)


Sao Paulo, Brazil, May 4, 2000 - Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao (CBD)
today announced 1st quarter 2000 financial results.

First quarter 2000 consolidated net sales reached R$1,634.8 million in nominal
values, compared to R$1,257.8 million during the same period in 1999, recording
a 30.0% increase.

First quarter 2000 was negatively affected by the timing of the Easter holiday.
While in 1999 seasonal Easter sales occurred in March (1st quarter), in 2000
they occurred in April (2nd quarter). However, even considering this adverse
factor, CBD's same store sales grew 3.3%.

The supermarket formats, represented by Pao de Acucar and Barateiro, presented
the best performance compared to CBD's other divisions. It is important to
highlight the performance of the Barateiro Division, which presented a 9.6%
growth in same store sales, positively reflecting the improved positioning of
this banner among lower class consumers in the state of Sao Paulo, as well as
investments made in store remodeling (New Face Project) and the development of
Barateiro Private Brands (approximately 400 Barateiro products were developed
during the first quarter of 2000).

The Pao de Acucar Division also recorded strong performance in same store sales,
as a result of the continuous process of store remodeling and investments made
to customer services. The "Pao de Acucar Mais" relationship card has been
providing the Company with improved knowledge of its customer base. As a result,
CBD gained additional efficiency in terms of operating and marketing strategies.
This program is currently being developed in the state of Sao Paulo, where
approximately 650,000 people already have the card.

The Extra Division presented a decrease in same store sales of 1.8%. The main
factors that contributed to this result are the need for a more significant
recovery in sales of some lines of products, the strong impact of the above
mentioned Easter season and the greater competitiveness of neighborhood
supermarkets. Same store sales of this division were also negatively affected by
the partial remodeling of some hypermarkets, and by the decrease in sales in
stores located relatively near new hypermarkets opened by the Company.

The Eletro Division presented a strong growth in same store sales, which can be
attributed to the current scenario of decreasing interest rates, the store
remodeling project (Eletro of the Future), and the weak comparative basis
represented by first quarter 1999.

                              Management's Comments


FIRST QUARTER 2000 CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

o    CBD registered gross margin of 27.4%, in line with the first quarter 1999
     (27.3%) and higher than the gross margin registered in fourth quarter 1999
     (26.0%). Even with the higher participation of hypermarkets in the
     Company's store mix and the strong competition within the sector, CBD has
     maintained the gross margin around 27%. This has been possible due to
     continuous gains of scale with suppliers and the intense shrinkage control
     and prevention program (1.7% in the first quarter of 2000, compared to 2.2%
     in the same period of 1999).

o    Operating expenses represented 20.1% of total net sales in the period,
     compared to 20.6% in the first quarter of 1999. This efficiency gain
     reflects the Company's efforts to reduce personnel expenses, as well as
     gains deriving from higher dilution of fixed costs through an expanded
     sales base.

o    EBITDA reached R$118.5 million in the first quarter of 2000, representing a
     41.8% increase compared to the same period of 1999. EBITDA margin (earnings
     before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) reached 7.2%,
     surpassing the margin recorded in the first quarter of 1999 (6.6%)

o    Net income in the first quarter of 2000 was R$42.1 million, compared to a
     net loss of R$78.9 million in the same period in 1999. This was mainly due
     to the increase in margins and net financial income. In the first quarter
     of 2000, the Company recorded a negative financial result of R$12.2 million
     compared to a loss of R$169.2 million in the first quarter 1999, period in
     which the Company was negatively affected by the Brazilian currency
     devaluation.

Investments

As a result of continuous efforts towards store modernization and expansion, CBD
invested R$157.4 million in the first quarter of 2000, compared to an investment
of R$203.9 million in the same period of 1999.

Investments during the quarter consisted of:

o    Acquisitions of medium-sized supermarket chains, such as Cibus, Ita and
     Mercadinho Sao Luiz;

o    Conversion of 1 Barateiro  store into the Pao de Acucar format.  This store
     is considered the model of the second generation of the Pao de Acucar
     format;

o    Acquisition of new equipment and land for construction of new stores;

o    Remodeling of 4 Pao de Acucar stores, 1 Barateiro store and 1 Extra
     hypermarket;

o    Remodeling of 7 Eletro stores, adapting them to the new concept (Eletro of
     the Future);

o    Closing of 1 Pao de Acucar store  located in Ribeirao Preto and 3 Eletro
     stores located in the state of Sao Paulo;

o    Initiation of construction of new Extra hypermarkets in Sorocaba (state of
     Sao Paulo), Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Fortaleza.

ACQUISITIONS: 58 NEW STORES BETWEEN JANUARY AND APRIL 2000

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao is pleased to inform the acquisition of 11
new stores in the first quarter of 2000 and 47 stores in April. These stores
reinforce the positioning of the Barateiro chain among lower class customers in
the state of Sao Paulo and the positioning of the Pao de Acucar chain in regions
where our presence is already strong (Sao Paulo and Fortaleza). We also
highlight the arrival of the Pao de Acucar banner to the city of Curitiba (state
of Parana), a region inhabited by upper class customers, which has, therefore,
strong synergy with this format.

The acquisitions carried out until April/May 2000 already total 67,468 m2 of
sales area and approximately R$858.0 million in annual gross revenue. The
following is a brief description of the acquired chains:

First Quarter 2000 Acquisitions

Cibus and Ita : CBD informed in January/00 the acquisition and start-up of
operations of the following stores: 1 store located in Ferraz de Vasconcellos,
in the greater Sao Paulo area, with 1,250 m2, which was previously operated by
Cibus chain and 1 store in the city of Sao Paulo, with 2,800 m2, which was
operated by ITA chain. Both stores were already converted into the Barateiro
format. These two stores are expected to generate approximately R$48.0 million
in annual gross revenue.

Mercadinho Sao Luiz: CBD also announced the acquisition of 9 stores previously
operated by Sao Luiz supermarket chain. These stores are located in the city of
Fortaleza, with 8,137 m2 of sales area, and they are being converted into the
Pao de Acucar format (7 have already been converted). CBD estimates these 9
stores to generate R$120.0 million in annual gross revenue.

April 2000 Acquisitions

Nagumo: CBD informed in April the acquisition of 12 new supermarkets located in
the Metropolitan Area of Sao Paulo (East Zone), with total sales area of 16,216
m2. These stores were previously operated by the Nagumo chain, which ranked 31st
in 1998, and have been incorporated into the Barateiro Division. Estimated gross
revenue for these stores is approximately R$240.0 million per year.

Reimberg: In April, CBD also acquired 9 stores in the Sao Paulo metropolitan
area, previously operated by the Reimberg chain and ranked 52nd in the sector.
These stores have also been incorporated into the Barateiro Division and are
distributed in a sales area of 7,673 m2. Annual gross revenue from these stores
is expected to total approximately R$125.0 million.

GePires: Acquisition of 2 new supermarkets in the city of Sao Paulo which were
previously operated by the GePires chain, with 2,642 m2 of sales area and
estimated annual gross revenue of R$25.0 million. Both stores will be part of
the Barateiro Division.

Parati: Acquisition of the Parati chain, located in the city of Curitiba -
Parana, composed of 11 stores with 13,150 m2 of total sales area and annual
gross revenue of approximately R$150.0 million. These stores will be converted
into the Pao de Accucar format and they mark the first CBD supermarket in this
region, where the Company already operates two hypermarkets.

Rosado: In April 2000, CBD acquired the Rosado chain, composed of 13 supermarket
stores with 15,600 m2 of total sales area. These stores are located in the Vale
do Paraiba region - state of Sao Paulo. All the stores will be converted into
the Pao de Acucar format and are expected to generate approximately R$150.0
million in gross revenue per year.
