| 8.1 | State<br> VAT tax credits - ICMS | ||||
| The Brazilian States<br> have been substantially amending their local laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax replacement system. This system<br> entails the prepayment of ICMS of the whole commercial chain, upon goods outflow from an industrial establishment or importer or<br> their inflow into each State. The expansion of this system to an increasingly wider range of products sold in the retail generates<br> the prepayment of the tax and consequently a refund in certain operations. | |||||
| With respect to credits<br> that cannot yet be immediately offset, the Company's management, according to a technical recovery study, based on the future expectation<br> of growth and consequent offset against taxes payable from its operations, believes that its future offset is viable. The mentioned<br> studies are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information obtained from the strategic planning previously approved by the<br> Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of March 31, 2024, the Company's management has monitoring<br> controls over the adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization<br> of the recoverable ICMS balance, as shown in the table below: | |||||

| 8.2 | PIS and<br> COFINS credit | ||||
| On March 15, 2017, the<br> Federal Supreme Court ("STF”) recognized the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS<br> calculation base. On May 13, 2021, the STF judged the Declaration Embargoes in relation to the amount to be excluded from the calculation<br> basis of the contributions, which should only be the ICMS paid, or if the entire ICMS, as shown in the respective invoices. The STF<br> rendered a favorable decision to the taxpayers, concluding that all ICMS highlighted should be excluded from the calculation basis. | |||||
| Currently the Company,<br> with the favorable judgment of the Supreme Court, has recognized the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis. | |||||
| In addition to the recorded<br> credits, the Company has contingent tax assets in the amount of R54 related to PIS and COFINS credits. | |||||
| •<br> Expected realization of PIS and COFINS credits | |||||
| In relation to the recoverable PIS and COFINS credits, the Company's management, based on a technical recovery study considering future growth expectations and consequent offset against debts from its operations, projects its future realization. The mentioned studies are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information obtained from the strategic planning previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of March 31, 2024, the Company's management has monitoring controls over the adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of the recoverable PIS and COFINS balance, in the amount of R320, and expected realization is within one year. |

| These include commercial agreements and<br> discounts obtained from suppliers. These amounts are defined in agreements and include discounts for purchase volume, joint marketing<br> programs, freight reimbursements, and other similar programs. The receipt occurs by deducting trade notes payable to suppliers, according<br> to conditions established in the supply agreements, so that the financial settlements occur for the net amount. | |||||
| 14.2 | Agreements<br> among suppliers, the Company and banks | ||||
| The Company has agreements signed with<br> financial institutions, through which suppliers of products, capital goods and services have the possibility of receiving in advance<br> their amounts receivable, also named “forfait” / “confirming”. The financial institutions<br> become creditors of the operation and the Company settles the payments under the same conditions as those originally agreed with<br> the supplier. | |||||
| Management, based on CPC 3 (R2)/IAS 7<br> and CPC 40 (R1)/IFRS 7, assessed that the economic substance of the transaction is operational, considering that receiving in advance<br> is an exclusive decision of the supplier and, for the Company, there are no changes in the original term negotiated with the supplier,<br> nor changes in the originally contracted amounts. These transactions aim at facilitating the cash flow of its suppliers without the<br> Company having to advancing payments. Management evaluated the potential effects of adjusting these operations to present value and<br> concluded that the effects are immaterial for measurement and disclosure. | |||||
| These balances are classified as "Trade<br> payables - Agreements" and the cash flow from these operations is presented as operating in the statement of cash flows. | |||||
| Additionally, there is no exposure to<br> any financial institution individually related to these operations and these liabilities are not considered net debt and do not have<br> restrictive covenants (financial or non-financial). In these transactions, the Company earns income referring to the premium for<br> referring suppliers to the operations of advance of receivables, recognized in the financial result, note 23 in the line "Revenue<br> from antecipation of payables", in the amount of R15 as of March 31, 2024 (R8 as of March 31, 2023), representing 1.47% of<br> the volume of transactions occurred during 2024 (0.79% during 2023). | |||||
| As of March 31, 2024, the balance payable<br> related to these operations is R819 (R1,459 as of December 31, 2023). | |||||

| 15.1 | Considerations on risk<br> factors that may affect the business of the Company | |||||||
| 15.1.1 | Credit risk | |||||||
| •<br> Cash and cash equivalents | ||||||||
| In order to minimize the credit risk,<br> the investment policies adopted establish investiments in financial institutions approved by the Company’s Financial Committee,<br> considering the monetary limits and evaluations of financial institutions, which are regularly updated. | ||||||||
| The Company's financial investments, according<br> to the rating on the national scale of financial institutions, are 100% represented by brAAA. | ||||||||
| •<br> Trade receivables | ||||||||
| The credit risk related to trade receivables<br> is minimized by the fact that a large part of installment sales are made with credit cards. These receivables may be advanced at<br> any time, without right of recourse, with banks or credit card companies, for the purpose of providing working capital, generating<br> the derecognition of the accounts receivable. In addition, the main acquirers used by the Company are related to first-tier financial<br> institutions with low credit risk. Additionally, for trade receivables collected in installments, the Company monitors the risk for<br> the granting of credit and for the periodic analysis of the expected credit loss balances. | ||||||||
| The Company also incurs counterparty risk<br> related to derivative instruments. This risk is mitigated by carrying out transactions, according to policies approved by governance<br> bodies. | ||||||||
| There are no amounts receivable that individually<br> account for more than 5% of the accounts receivable or revenues. | ||||||||
| 15.1.2 | Interest<br> rate risk | |||||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| The Company obtains borrowings<br> with major financial institutions to meet cash requirements for investments. Accordingly, the Company is mainly exposed to the risk<br> of significant fluctuations in the interest rate, especially the rate related to derivative liabilities (foreign currency exposure<br> hedge) and debts indexed to CDI. The balance of cash and cash equivalents, indexed to CDI, partially offsets the risk of fluctuations<br> in the interest rates. | ||||||||
| 15.1.3 | Capital<br> risk management | |||||||
| The main objective of<br> the Company’s capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains its credit rating and a well-balanced equity ratio,<br> in order to support businesses and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments considering<br> the changes in the economic conditions. | ||||||||
| The capital structure<br> is as follows: | ||||||||

| 15.3 | Sensitivity analysis of<br> financial instruments | ||||||||||
| According to Management's<br> assessment, the possible reasonable changes scenario considered was, on the maturity date of each transaction, the market<br> curves (interest) of B3. | |||||||||||
| To determine the<br> possible relevant change in the relevant risk variable, Management considered the economic environment in which it operates. Therefore,<br> in scenario (I) there is no impact on the fair value of financial instruments and the weighted interest rate (CDI) was<br> 9.84% per year. For scenarios (II) and (III), for the exclusive purpose of sensitivity analysis, Management considered<br> a deterioration of 5% and 10%, respectively, in the risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments, with the aim of<br> demonstrating the sensitivity of the Company's results in an adverse scenario. | |||||||||||
| In the case of derivative<br> financial instruments (aiming at hedging the financial debt), the variations of the scenarios are accompanied by the respective hedges,<br> indicating that the effects are not significant. | |||||||||||

| 16.1 | Tax claims | ||||||||||
| Tax claims are subject<br> by law to monthly monetary adjustment, which refers to an adjustment to the provision based on indexing rates adopted by each tax<br> jurisdiction. Both interest charges and fines, where applicable, were calculated and provisioned with respect to unpaid amounts. | |||||||||||

| The amount provisioned<br> for these matters as of March 31, 2024 is R23 (R62 as of December 31, 2023). | |||||||||||

| The Company is a<br> party to civil proceedings (indemnifications, collections, among others) that are in different procedural phases and at various courts.<br> Management records provisions in amounts considered sufficient to cover unfavorable court decisions when its internal and external<br> legal counsel assess the losses to be probable. | |||||||||||
| Among these proceedings,<br> we highlight the following: | |||||||||||
| The Company is a<br> party to various lawsuits requesting the renewal of rental agreements and the review of the current rent paid. The Company records<br> a provision for the difference between the monthly rental amounts originally paid by stores and the rental amounts calculated by<br> the legal experts considering that it is the expert report amount that will be used as the basis for the decision that will change<br> the rental amount paid by the entity. As of March 31, 2024, the amount of the provision for these lawsuits is R33 (R32 as of December<br> 31, 2023), for which there are no restricted deposits for legal proceedings. | |||||||||||
| The Company is a<br> party to certain lawsuits relating to the fines applied by inspection bodies of direct and indirect administration of the federal<br> government, states, and municipalities, including consumer defense bodies (PROCONs, INMETRO, and local governments). The Company,<br> with the assistance of its legal counsel, assesses these claims recording provisions for probable cash disbursements according to<br> the estimate of loss. As of March 31, 2024, the amount of provision for these lawsuits is R7 (R6 as of December 31, 2023). |

| 16.4 | Contingent liabilities<br> not accrued | |||

| 3/31/2024 | 12/31/2023 | |||
| Tax<br> on Financial Transactions (IOF) – payment differences. | 14 | 14 | ||

| Three collective<br> proceedings were filed by institutions related to black people's movements due to an approach to a customer, in August 2021 at the<br> store in Limeira - SP, which claim supposed racial issues. All were duly answered. One of them has already been extinguished by the<br> judiciary without major effects. As of March 31, 2024, there are still two lawsuits in progress and, given the subjectivity of the<br> matter, it is still not possible to reasonably estimate the amounts involved. A significant impact on the interim financial information<br> is not expected. | ||||
| 16.4.1 | Uncertainty<br> over IRPJ and CSLL treatments | |||
| In compliance with ICPC 22/IFRIC 23 –<br> Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment, the Company has proceedings, at the judicial and administrative levels, with Government's<br> regulatory agencies, which are related to uncertain tax treatments adopted for the recording of income tax and social contribution.<br> Based on the assessment of internal and external legal counsel, the tax treatment adopted by the Company is adequate, therefore,<br> these proceedings were classified as possible losses.

| 16.6 | Restricted deposits for<br> legal proceedings | |||
| The Company is challenging the payment<br> of certain taxes, contributions, and labor liabilities and made judicial deposits in amounts equivalent to the final court decisions,<br> as well as judicial deposits related to the provision for legal claims. | ||||
