Comments on Sales Performance

Gross Sales reached           In the 2nd quarter of 2002, Companhia Brasileira
R$ 2.5 billion in             de Distribuicao registered gross sales of R$
The 2nd quarter               2,490.0 million and net sales of R$ 2,107.5
                              million, representing a growth of 9.8% and 10.2%,
                              respectively, compared to the same period in the
                              previous year.

                              In the first half of 2002, the Company's gross
                              sales reached R$ 5,025.7 million, and net sales
                              totaled R$ 4,257.2 million, ensuring a positive
                              evolution of 9.2% and 9.6%, respectively. The
                              number of tickets grew 6.2% in the first half,
                              reaching 184 millions of transactions.

                              If we considered the sales of the 60 stores
                              acquired from the Se Supermercados chain and of
                              the 12 reintegrated stores from the Comprebem
                              chain (whose sales will begin to be recorded by
                              CBD only in the 3rd quarter), total sales growth
                              in the first half would have been 20.4%, ensuring
                              market share gains, and consolidating CBD's
                              leadership in the Brazilian retail market.

                              CBD's same store net sales increased by 0.6% in
                              the 2nd quarter, registering a 0.9% growth in the
                              first half of 2002, despite the turbulent
                              political and economic scenario and the consequent
                              decrease in the consumers' confidence level.

                              In the first half, same store sales of food
                              products presented a 2.2% growth, whereas the
                              non-food products registered a 3.9% decrease.

                              The first half of 2002 was also characterized by
                              the recovery in the hypermarket sales and by the
                              excellent performance of the Barateiro Division,
                              confirming the success of the changes that were
                              implemented in this format in 2001.

Comments on the Results

Gross Margin of               In the 2nd quarter of 2002, CBD registered a gross
28.5% in the 2nd              income of R$ 600.2 million, which represented a
quarter and                   15.1% growth compared to the same period in 2001,
28.2% in the                  representing a gross margin of 28.5% (27.3% in the
first half                    2nd quarter of 2001). In the first half of 2002,
                              the gross income presented a 12.4% growth with a
                              28.2% margin (27.5% in the first half of 2001).
                              CBD's improvement in the gross margin is a result
                              of the progress achieved in negotiations with
                              suppliers, in category management and in the
                              supply chain management. It is important to
                              highlight the reduction in the shrinkage index to
                              1.3% in the first half, compared to 1.6% in the
                              same period in 2001.

                              The operating expenses as a percentage of the net
                              sales of the 2nd quarter are not comparable to the
                              percentage verified in the same period in 2001,
                              due to the positioning of Easter in different
                              quarters in the two years (in the 1st quarter in
                              2002 and in the 2nd quarter in 2001). However,
                              when we observe the result of the first half,
                              therefore excluding the Easter effect, we can
                              verify that the Company reached a level that is
                              similar to that of the 1st half of 2001 (20.0% and
                              19.7%, respectively).

EBITDA Margin                 The EBITDA margin of the 2nd quarter reached
grows 16.4%                   R$ 172.2 million, increasing by 18.2%, which is
                              more than the 10.2% growth registered by the sales
                              in the period. In the first half, the Ebitda
                              reached R$ 349.2 million, registering a 16.4%
                              growth. CBD registered an Ebitda margin of 8.2% in
                              the 2nd quarter and also in the 1st half, compared
                              to, respectively, 7.6% and 7.7% in the same
                              periods in 2001.

Negative Financial            The financial expenses were negatively affected by
Result of                     the increase in the cost of short-term borrowings,
R$ 17.7 million in            as well as by the negative effect of the currency
the 1H02                      devaluation on the BNDES financing, based on a
                              basket of currencies, which corresponded to R$
                              71.2 million at the end of the 1st quarter of
                              2002. The currency variation expenses,
                              corresponding to R$ 9.0 million in the first half,
                              refers to the amortization of part of the currency
                              loss deferred in the first quarter of 1999. The
                              growth of the financial income is explained by the
                              increase in the Company's cash position due to
                              higher credit revenues in the period.

Working capital               The Company continues to obtain improvements in

Recent Events

1)   Comprebem

CBD informed the market on June 25th, 2002, about the reintegration of 12 stores
in Recife, state of Pernambuco, which were formerly operated by the Comprebem
chain. The chain registered gross revenues of R$ 122.2 million in 2001 in a
sales area of 11,840 m2.
Due to the end of the franchise contract and considering the Company's recent
expansion in the northeast region of Brazil, those stores returned to CBD's
portfolio on July 1st, 2002 and they will be converted into the Pao de Acucar
and Barateiro formats in due time.

2)   Se Supermercados

CBD announced in a release dated July 1st, 2002, the acquisition of the Se
Supermercados chain. The Se Supermercados chain operated 60 stores in 20 cities
in the state of Sao Paulo, including the capital, and its gross revenues reached
R$ 1.044 billion in 2001, according to ABRAS (Brazilian Supermarkets
Association).
The price paid by CBD for the acquisition of the Se Supermercados chain was R$
375.0 million, including the assumption of a R$ 124.4 million debt. As
determined in the purchased agreement, this amount should be incresead by the
working capital which will be acrued based on the financial statements at June
30, 2002 and will affect the final amount of goodwill, estimated in R$ 170.0
million. It is important to highlight that the price mentioned includes 12
significant real estate properties belonging to Se Supermercados, which market
value is estimated at R$ 70.0 million, which represents an innovation regarding
the acquisitions previously made by CBD. Additionally, tax savings can be
generated from the acquisition, which justify and support this transaction, and
further synergies will be generated from the future conversion of the acquired
stores into the Pao de Acucar, Barateiro and Extra banners.
The acquisition of the Se Supermercados chain will allow the consolidation of
CBD in the leading position of the retail market and the reinforcement of its
strong presence in the State of Sao Paulo.

Investment Plan for the 2nd half of 2002

The Investment Plan for the year 2002 was revised due to the recent
reintegration of 12 stores from the Comprebem chain and the acquisition of 60
stores from the Se Supermercados chain.

In addition to the R$ 308.8 million invested during the 1st half, CBD will
invest approximately R$ 70.0 million in the 2nd half of 2002, totaling R$380.0
million in the year, without considering the acquisition of the Se Supermercados
chain in the period and the conversion of its stores into CBD's formats.
