Total gross sales came to R$1,363.3 million in July

São Paulo, Brazil, August 16, 2007. Grupo Pão de Açúcar [NYSE: CBD; BOVESPA: PCAR4 (PN)] announces its sales performance for July 2007 (unaudited preliminary figures). The information presented below was calculated based on consolidated figures and in Reais, in accordance with the Brazilian Corporate Law.

     Gross sales reached R$1,363.3 million in the period, up by 3.6% over the same month in the previous year. Net sales totaled R$1,152.9 million, up by 4.3% compared to July 2006. The Company’s performance in July 2007 was affected by the calendar effect (with one fewer Saturday than in the previous year), reducing sales by near 150 basis points.

     Same-store sales moved up by 1.0% in gross terms and 1.7% in net terms. Food products grew by 3.7% while non-food sales dropped by 6.7% . This performance is a result of the strong comparison base (up by 18.9% in July 2006 due to the World Cup effect) and the strong deflation in the period, affecting mainly sales of electronic items.

     Although July’s performance was slightly below expectations, August’s performance so far has been in line with the previous months.

Gross Sales Performance (nominal terms)

Note: Same-store sales include stores with at least 12 months of operation
* Average growth of 4.5% in March/April
