Sales Performance

In the 3rd quarter of 2000, Companhia Brasileira de Distribuigao - CBD
registered consolidated net revenues of R$1,936.5 million, a 35.5% growth
compared to the same period in 1999. In the first nine months of 2000,
consolidated net sales totaled R$5,335.5 million, a 32.4% increase compared to
the same period in 1999. Sales of the 65 stores acquired in 2000 confirmed the
projections previously announced by the Company.

CBD obtained this growth by means of continuous investments made to the
expansion of its store basis, store remodelings, distribution, technology and
training. In the first nine months of 2000, the Company increased its store
basis by 69 units compared to December 1999, a 18.9% increase in sales area. The
number of transactions in this same period reached 239 million, a 31% growth
compared to the first nine months of 1999.

Productivity gains also marked the period, generating a 6.9% growth in same
store sales in the third quarter and 5.0% in the nine months of 2000. The
scenario was more favorable for consumption in the third quarter compared to the
first half. This improvement is a result of an environment scenario
characterized by decreasing interest rates and greater confidence on the part of
the consumers with respect to Brazil's economy. The Company registered an
improvement in sales of food and non-food products, mainly of electronic and
computer products. Due to the fact that CBD is inserted and well-positioned in
the consumer goods market, it has been profiting from this recovery, as can be
seen below:

* Total sales figures include net sales of the Peralta chain in the month of

The Pao de Acucar Division registered a 5.6% growth in same store sales in the
third quarter of 2000 and 5.6% in the year. Apart from the benefits of the Store
Remodeling Program, we highlight the success of this banner's Fidelity Program,
through the Pao de Acucar Mais relationship card. The Company already has more
than 1 million enrolled families and has been identifying an average of 50% of
the tickets. As a result, CBD has been accumulating valuable information about
its clients' consumption behavior, which enables the adoption of more efficient
marketing strategies and operating actions.

The Barateiro stores once more presented a 7.7% growth in same store sales in
the 3rd quarter of 2000 and 7.5% in the year. Among the main factors that
contributed to the performance of this Division, we highlight the consolidation
of this banner's image of low prices, the evolution of the model of stores with
low operating costs and the fast development of the Barateiro private brand
(currently with 650 products), whose share in sales of this Division was 8% in
the 3rd quarter.

The Extra Division, in spite of a very competitive scenario to the hypermarkets
segment, presented a 3.8% growth, representing an important recovery compared to
the first two quarters (-1.8% and -0.7% respectively) and accumulating 0.5% in
the nine months of 2000. The Company highlights as main drivers for this
recovery: the strategy of attracting clients with basic and frequently consumed
products, the improvement of sales of non-food products and the beginning of the
Private Brands Program, having launched 350 products so far.

The Eletro Division registered a 37.8% growth in same store sales, accumulating
31.9% in the nine months of 2000, reflecting a sustainable recovery of sales in
the durable goods segment. The store remodeling program also contributed to the
performance of this Division. This program has been producing operating
improvements in terms of commercial, marketing and credit aggressiveness.

Management's Comments

Third quarter 2000 results: a record EBITDA margin of 8.2%

In the 3rd quarter of 2000, CBD registered a Gross Income of R$ 526.3 million, a
31.1% growth compared to the same period in 1999. In the nine months of 2000,
the Gross Income totaled R$ 1,454.5 million, representing a 32.1% increase
compared to the same period in 1999. The gross margin reached 27.2% in the 3rd
quarter and 27.3% in the nine months, compared to 28.1% and 27.5% respectively
in 1999.

Despite the tough competition in the sector, and due to a higher participation
of the Extra and Barateiro formats, CBD has been able to maintain the gross
margin around 27%, as a result of increasing productivity and scale gains. It is
important to remember that the 3rd quarter of 1999 represents a strong
comparative basis in terms of gross margin, since this period coincided with the
opening of 9 hypermarkets leased from the Paes Mendonca chain, which generated a
high volume of bonuses and discounts with suppliers.

In the 3rd quarter of 2000, the shrinkage level reached 1.5%, excluding the 65
stores that were acquired during the year. If we consider all the stores, the
index was 1.6% compared to 1.8% in the same period in 1999.

The electronic relationship between CBD and the suppliers, through purchases
made via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and PD@ NET (a system which uses the
Internet as an interface) reached 78% in September/00, heading towards the
80-90% levels expected for the end of the year. Productivity gains in
distribution as a result of the expansion of the Company's storing area also
contributed to this performance.

The great highlight of the period was the EBITDA (income before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization), which reached R$157.9 million in the third
quarter of 2000, a 40.5% growth compared to the same period in 1999. In
the first nine months of 2000, the Company's EBITDA reached R$406.3 million, a
44.2% growth compared to the same period in 1999. CBD's EBITDA margin was 8.2%
in the 3rd quarter of 2000 (7.9% in the third quarter of 1999), the highest one
since the company went public (1995), confirming once more the CBD's capacity to
dilute expenses with scale and efficiency gains. In the first nine months of
2000, the EBITDA margin reached 7.6% compared to 7.0% in the first nine months
of the previous year.

CBD's third quarter financial result was R$ 12.7 million, compared to a negative
result of R$9.7 million in the same period of 1999. The currency variation line
(R$4.5 million) refers only to the amortization of the deferred exchange loss in
the 1st quarter of 1999. This improvement of the Company's financial results
already reflects the reduction of its debt level due to the conversion of
debentures of the 1st and 3rd issues, and better results in credit operations.
In the nine months of 2000, CBD recorded a loss of R$16 million, compared to a
loss of R$199.1 million in the nine months of 1999 - period in which the company
was strongly affected by currency devaluation.

3rd quarter 2000 net result was R$90.2 million, compared to R$40.7 million in
the same period of the previous year, representing an 121.6% increase. In the
first nine months of 2000, the Company registered a net income of R$204.7
million, compared to a loss of R$21.3 million in the same period of 1999.


Debentures

During the 3rd quarter of 2000, the 85,246 debentures remaining from the 1st
issue were converted, as well as 10,519 debentures of the 2nd issue and the
totality of the debentures of the 3rd issue (297,000), generating 9,470,331 new
shares to the Company as shown in the table below:
