Sales Performance

In the 2nd quarter of year 2000, Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao - CBD
registered consolidated net sales of R$1,764.2 million, a 34.0% growth compared
to the same period of 1999. In the 1st semester of 2000, consolidated net sales
totaled R$3,399.0 million, an increase of 32.0% compared to the 1st half of
1999. This growth was a result of investments made by the company in the
expansion of its store base, store remodelings, distribution/logistics,
technology and training. It is important to note that the number of clients that
visited the stores in the first semester of 2000 was 30.0% higher compared to
the amount registered in the same period of 1999, reaching the mark of 151
million transactions made. In relation to the performance of the stores acquired
in the first semester of 2000, it is valid to state that the sales level
confirmed the projections presented by the company, that is, it continues to be
valid to affirm that these stores aggregate gross annual sales of R$1 billion.

The most important fact to point out is that same stores sales grew 4.6% in the
2nd quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999 and 4.0% in the 1st
semester of 2000 compared to the 1st semester of 1999, reflecting productivity
gains, with the following highlights per division:

Pao de Acucar: even taking into account a strong comparative basis (growth of
11.1% in the 2nd Quarter/99) this format continued to register a positive
performance, with a growth in same stores of 7.0% in the second quarter of 2000.
This performance reflects the solid positioning of this format, as well as the
constant investments made to store remodelings and customer service. We also
highlight the Fidelity Program initiated in January/00, through the launching of
the Pao de Acucar Mais relationship card. Currently, this program is covering
all the stores of the Pao de Acucar Division in the State of Sao Paulo, where
the company already has more than 920 thousand enrolled families. Besides a
higher level of fidelity from the consumer, this program has been playing an
important role in the increase of CBD's knowledge about its client basis,
which

                                                                               2

enables the adoption of more efficient marketing strategies and
operational actions.

Extra: As a result of a series of actions that have enabled a consistent
improvement in sales of this format, the hypermarkets registered a result close
to zero in the same store criteria (-0.7%), which represents an improvement in
the recent performance of sales, taking into account that the hypermarkets were
negatively affected by the deflation noted in several lines of food and non-food
products. The strategy adopted is based on the review of the sales mix,
maintaining the share of food products and non-food products, but with great
emphasis to frequently consumed products, enabling a higher traffic of customers
in the stores. Besides this, CBD is expanding the 1st price product line and in
the second semester will be launching its Extra Private Brand.

Barateiro: the Barateiro format registered a growth of 5.3%, as a result of
efforts directed towards more consolidation of this format and the reinforcement
of its low prices image among lower income class consumers. Besides the broad
line of 1st price products, CBD developed in this first semester 520 products
with its Barateiro Private Brand and will probably reach 1,000 products by the
end of the year. The participation of the Barateiro brand in the sales of this
Division was around 6% in the first semester of 2000.

Eletro: with a growth in same stores of 33.5%, the Eletro Division not only
benefited from the weak base of comparison, but also registered a recovery in
sales due to investments made to store remodelings (Eletro do Futuro Project)
and the more favorable macroeconomic scenario, with decreasing interest rates.

                               Management Comments


2nd quarter 2000 results (consolidated): EBITDA grows 51.5%

In the 2nd quarter of 2000, CBD registered a gross profit of R$ 480.3 million,
growing 34.6% compared to the same period of 1999. In the first semester, the
gross profit totaled R$ 928.2 million, representing a 32.6% increase compared to
the first semester of 1999. The gross margin reached 27.2% in the 2nd quarter
and 27.3% in the 1st semester, against 27.1% and 27.2% respectively in 1999.

We would like to state once again that, despite the tough competition in the
sector, and higher participation of Extra and Barateiro Divisions, CBD was able
to maintain gross margin around 27%. The explanation for this performance is
based on increasing scale gains with suppliers and investments in productivity.
In the 2nd quarter/2000, shrinkage was maintained at the 1.7% level registered
in the 1st quarter/2000 and below the 2.0% registered in the 2nd quarter/99 - in
accordance with the goal of 1.35% for the end of year 2000. New advancements
were also noticed in the electronic relationship between CBD and the suppliers.
Purchases made via EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and PD@ NET (system that
uses Internet as an interface) reached 67% in June/00, heading towards the
80/90% levels expected for the year end.

The EBITDA (income before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) of the
second quarter reached R$ 129.9 million, a 51.5% growth compared to the same
period of 1999. In the first semester, the EBITDA reached R$248.4 million, a
46.7% growth compared to the first semester of 1999. The EBITDA margin was 7.4%
in the 2nd quarter and 7.3% in the 1st semester, against 6.5% and 6.6% in the
corresponding periods of the previous year. The EBITDA growth is due to the
maintenance of the gross margin around 27%, in combination with the dilution of
operating expenses. Among the many expenses that the company has managed to
dilute with scale gains, we point out the expenses with personnel, distribution
and advertising.

In the 2nd quarter of 2000, CBD recorded a negative financial result of R$16.6
million, compared to a negative result of R$20.2 million in the same period of
1999. The exchange variation line (R$4.5 million) refers only to the
amortization of the deferred exchange loss in the 1st quarter of 1999. In the
semester, the financial result was negative by R$28.7 million, compared to a
negative result of R$189.4 million in the 1st semester/1999 - the period in
which the company was strongly affected by the currency devaluation.

2nd quarter/00 net profit was R$72.3 million, compared to R$16.9 million in the
same period of the previous year, representing an increase of 329.1%. CBD,
through the obtainment of a favorable judicial sentence, registered a reversion
of income tax, based on the effects of the monetary correction of the so-called
"Plano Verao" (1989) over its fixed assets.

In the first semester of 2000, the Company registered a net income of R$114.5
million, against a loss of R$62.0 million in the same period of 1999.

The number of shares of the Company was increased by 33,333 thousand preferred
shares compared to the 1st quarter/00, totaling 97,727,936 thousand, as a result
of the conversion into shares of 1,000 debentures of the 2nd issuance. Net
income per thousand shares in the 2nd quarter was R$0.74, against R$0.22 in the
same period of 1999, representing an increase of 236.4%.

Investments

Investments totaled R$317.6 million in the 2nd quarter and R$475.0 million in
the 1st semester of 2000, against R$109.6 million and R$313.3 million in the
same periods of 1999.

the acquisition of the Boa Esperanca chain through which CBD expects to reach
gross sales of R$100.0 million/year, based on the sales of these stores in the
previous years.

amelia.com.br

Since May of 2000, CBD has concentrated its e-commerce activities on its new
site, amelia.com.br, which is based on Pao de Acucar Delivery and Eletro Online
programs, but also including an innovative and broad marketing concept.
amelia.com.br aims at offering integrated home solutions, improving the quality
of life of people. The project represents to the Company an important new
distribution channel and establishes CBD's fifth banner , together with Pao
de Acucar, Extra, Barateiro and Eletro

In the 2nd quarter of 2000, sales of the Amelia.com.br Division reached R$5.9
million, totaling R$10.9 million in the 1st semester of 2000, representing 0.3%
of total Company sales. The gross margin of the 2nd quarter reached 33.1%,
against 25.2% in the 1st quarter; most of the increase is accounted for by
bonuses obtained with suppliers at the launching of the site in the month of
May. The increase registered in the operating expenses of the 2nd quarter
compared to the 1st quarter occurred basically due to the beginning of the
site's promotional campaign and the administrative structuring of the
Division. In the 1st semester of 2000, the Division recorded a negative
operating result of R$5.4 million.

With the intention of boosting the existing synergies with the traditional
retail operation of the company, as well as to assure the maintenance of its
leading market position, amelia.com.br announced in July 2000 a few
administrative structure changes. The Financial and Administrative Areas are
being incorporated by the respective corporate areas of CBD.

The investments predicted for year 2000 and 2001 are within the range of
respectively R$45-47 million and R$40-60 million, directed to technology,
distribution/logistics, marketing and content. CBD reaffirms once again its
commitment to the development of Amelia division, focusing on e-commerce
operations, continuously aiming at productivity and market share gains.
