Interim Financial Information - 9/30/2023 - SENDAS DISTRIBUIDORA S.A.

  

                                                   
8.1 State VAT tax credits - ICMS
                                                   
  Since 2008, the Brazilian States have been substantially amending their local laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax replacement system. This system entails the prepayment of ICMS of the whole commercial chain, upon goods outflow from an industrial establishment or importer or their inflow into each State. The expansion of this system to an increasingly wider range of products sold in the retail generates the prepayment of the tax and consequently a refund in certain operations.  
                                                   
  The refund process requires evidence through tax documents and digital files of the transactions carried out that generated the right to refund for the Company. Only after its ratification by state tax authorities and/or the compliance with specific ancillary obligations to support such evidence that credits can be used by the Company, which occur in periods after their generation.  
                                                   
  As the number of items sold in the retail subject to tax replacement has increased continuously, the tax credit to be refunded by the Company has also increased. The Company has realized these credits with authorization for immediate offset  in view of its operation, by obtaining a special regime and also by means of other procedures regulated by state rules.  
                                                   
  With respect to credits that cannot yet be immediately offset, the Company's management, according to a technical recovery study, based on the future expectation of growth and consequent offset against taxes payable from its operations, believes that its future offset is viable. 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 September 30, 2023, 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 ICMS balance, as shown in the table below:  
                                                   
  Year       Amount                                  
  Within 1 year                         518                                  
  From 1 to 2 years                     218                                  
  From 2 to 3 years                     119                                  
  From 3 to 4 years                       92                                  
  From 4 to 5 years                       54                                  
  More than 5 years                     140                                  
  Total                      1,141                                  
                                                   
8.2 PIS and COFINS credit
                                                   
  On March 15, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) recognized, the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation base. On May 13, 2021, the STF judged the Declaration Embargoes in relation to the amount to be excluded from the calculation basis of the contributions, which should only be the ICMS paid, or if the entire ICMS, as shown in the respective invoices. The STF rendered a favorable decision to the taxpayers, concluding that all ICMS highlighted should be excluded from the calculation basis.  
                                                   
  The STF decided to modulate the effects of the decision, providing thet taxpayers who distributed lawsuits before March 15, 2017 or who had administrative proceedings in progress before that same date, would have right to take advantage of the past period. As the decision was rendered in a process with recognized general repercussions, the understanding reached is binding on all judges and courts. The Company filed a lawsuit on October 31, 2013, having obtained a favorable decision and a final and unappealable decision on July 16, 2021, thus allowing the recognition of the credit for the period covered by the lawsuit.  
                                                   
  Currently the Company, with the favorable judgment of the Supreme Court, has recognized the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, based on the same assumptions above.  
                                                   
  • 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 September 30, 2023, 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, as shown in the table below:  
                                                   
  Year       Amount                                  
  Within 1 year                         254                                  
  From 1 to 2 years                     138                                  
  Total                         392

  (ii) As disclosed in note 1, on June 23, 2023, Casino, through its subsidiaries Wilkes, GIBV and Segisor, sold its common shares, changing the Company's shareholding structure. In view of the shareholding change, there was a need to renegotiate some rental contracts, resulting in a net increase in leasing in the amount of R$476. Management, based on CPC 06/IFRS 16 - Leases, evaluated and concluded this transaction as termination of the previous contract and recognition of a new contract, maturity in 2045, due to a substantive change in the scope, which mainly included changes to the assets subject to the contract and values ​​of contracts. In the period ended September 30, 2023, the renegotiation process was completed.

  These include commercial agreements and discounts obtained from suppliers. These amounts are defined in agreements and include discounts for purchase volume, joint marketing programs, freight reimbursements, and other similar programs. The receipt occurs by deducting trade notes payable to suppliers, according to conditions established in the supply agreements, so that the financial settlements occur for the net amount.  
                                                   
13.2 Agreements among suppliers, the Company and banks
                                                   
  The Company has agreements with financial institutions, through which, suppliers of products, capital goods and services, have the possibility of receiving in advance their amounts receivables, also named “forfait” / “confirming”. The financial institutions become creditors of the operation and the Company settles the payments under the same conditions as those originally agreed with the supplier.  
                                                   
  The Company’s Management, based on CVM Circular Letter SNC/SEP n°01/2022, assessed that the economic substance of the transaction is operational, considering that receiving in advance is an exclusive decision of the supplier and, for the Company, there are no changes in the original term negotiated with the supplier, nor changes in the contracted amounts. Management evaluated the potential effects of adjusting these operations to present value and concluded that the effects are immaterial for measurement and disclosure.  
                                                   
  These balances are classified as "Trade Payables - Agreements". Cash flow from these operations is presented as operating in the statement of cash flows.  
                                                   
  Additionally, there is no exposure to any financial institution individually related to these operations and these liabilities are not considered net debt and do not have restrictive covenants (financial or non-financial) related and for the Company, the revenue obtained from the award for the referral of suppliers to the receiving in advance operations recognized in the statement of operations was R$26 as of September 30, 2023 (R$30 as of September 30, 2022).  
                                                   
  As of September 30, 2023, the balance payable related to these operations is R$903 (R$2,039 as of December 31, 2022).  
                                                   
13.3 Suppliers - Acquisition of Extra stores
                                                   
  In September and December, 2022, GPA realized the assignment of its receivables on the sale of Extra stores to the Company with a financial institution corresponding to the installments due between 2023 and 2024. The Company's management, as the consenting party of the operation, evaluated the contractual terms of the assignment of receivables and in accordance with CPC 26 (R1)/IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements, concluded that there was no modification in the conditions originally contracted with GPA, maintaining the characteristic of the terms and the payments of the installments will be made directly by the Company to the financial institution, maintaining the same due dates and monetary correction equivalent of the CDI + 1.2% per year, previously agreed with GPA. Therefore, Management concluded that the characteristic of the operation was maintained as accounts payable for the acquisition of the commercial points of the Extra Hiper stores.

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

  The information was prepared considering the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date the Company may be required to make the payment or be eligible to receive the payment. To the extent that interest rates are floating, the undiscounted amount is obtained based on interest rate curves for the period ended September 30, 2023. Therefore, certain balances presented do not agree with the balances presented in the balance sheets.

  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts during the period ended September 30, 2023, are recorded as net financial results and the balance receivable at fair value is R$242 (balance receivable of R$146 as of December 31, 2022). The assets are recorded as “derivative financial instruments” and the liabilities as “borrowings”.  
                                                   
  The effects of the hedge at fair value through income for the period ended September 30, 2023, resulted in a loss of R$78 (gain of R$47 as of September 30, 2022), recorded under cost of debt, see note 23.  
                                                   
14.2.1 Fair values of derivative financial instruments
                                                   
  Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction.  
                                                   
  The fair values are calculated based on projected future cash flow, using the future CDI curves released by B3, plus the operation spreads, and discounting them to present value using the same CDI curves by B3.  
                                                   
  In order to calculate the coupon of CDI indexed-positions, the exponential convention - 252 business days was adopted.  
                                                   
14.3 Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments
                                                   
  According to Management's assessment, the possible reasonable changes was, on the maturity date of each transaction, the  market curves (currencies and interest) of B3.  
                                                   
  To determine the possible relevant change in the relevant risk variable, Management considered the economic environment in which it operates. Therefore, in (I) there is no impact on the fair value of financial instruments. For scenarios (II) and (III), for the exclusive purpose of sensitivity analysis, Management considered a deterioration of 5% and 10%, respectively, in the risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments, with the aim of demonstrating the sensitivity of the Company's results in an adverse scenario.  
                                                   
  For the probable scenario  the weighted interest rate (CDI) was 11.03% per year.  
                                                   
  In the case of derivative financial instruments (aiming at hedging the financial debt), the variations of the scenarios are accompanied by the respective hedges, indicating that the effects are not significant.

14.4 Fair value measurement
                                                   
  The Company discloses the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value of which differ from the carrying amounts, pursuant to CPC 46/IFRS 13, which address the concepts of measurement and disclosure requirements. The fair value hierarchy levels are defined below:  
                                                   
  Level 1: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity may have access at the measurement date.  
                                                   
  Level 2: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using other significant observable assumptions for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, except quoted prices included in Level 1.  
                                                   
  Level 3: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using non-observable data for the asset or liability.  
                                                   
  The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts.  
                                                   
  The table below sets forth the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, for which the fair value has been disclosed in the interim financial information:  
                                                   
                        Carrying amount   Fair value

  There were no change between fair value measurement hierarchy levels during the period ended September 30, 2023.  
                                                   
  Interest rate swaps, cross-currency and borrowings and financing are classified in Level 2 since the fair value of such financial instruments was determined based on readily observable inputs, such as expected interest rate and current and future foreign exchange rate.

As of September 30, 2023, the amount of provision for these lawsuits is R$6 (R$5 as of December 31, 2022).

  The Company is a party to other litigations for which the risk of loss was classified by its legal counsel to be possible, therefore, not accrued, totaling an updated amount of R$2,680 as of September 30, 2023 (R$2,443 as of December 31, 2022), which are mainly related to:  
                                                   
  IRPJ (corporate income tax), IRRF (withholding income tax), CSLL (social contribution on net income) – The Company received several tax assessment notices relating to tax offsetting proceedings, goodwill tax amortization disallowance, disagreements regarding payments and overpayments, fines for non-compliance with ancillary obligation, among other less relevant issues. The amount involved corresponds to R$645 as of September 30, 2023 (R$612 as of December 31, 2022).

  ICMS (State VAT) – The Company received tax assessment notices from State tax authorities in connection with credits from purchases from suppliers considered unqualified by the registry of the State Revenue Service, among other matters. These tax assessments amount to R$1,183 as of September 30, 2023 (R$1,084 as of December 31, 2022). These proceedings are pending judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.  
                                                   
  ISS (services tax), IPTU (urban property tax), Fees and other – The Company has received tax assessments relating to discrepancies in payments of IPTU, fines for non-compliance with ancillary obligations, ISS – refund of advertising expenses and various fees, totaling R$16 as of September 30, 2023 (R$16 as of December 31, 2022). These proceedings are pending judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.  
                                                   
  INSS (national institute of social security) – The Company was assessed for divergences in the FGTS and Social Security form (GFIP), offsets not approved, among other matters, with possible losses of R$24 as of September 30, 2023 (R$23 as of December 31, 2022). Proceedings have been discussed in the administrative and judicial level.  
                                                   
  Other litigation – These proceedings refer to real estate lawsuits in which the Company claims the renewal of lease agreements and rents according to market prices. These lawsuits involve proceedings in civil court, as well as administrative proceedings filed by inspection bodies, such as the consumer defense body (PROCONs), the National Institute of Metrology, Standardization and Industrial Quality – INMETRO, the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance – ANVISA, among others, totaling R$94 as of September 30, 2023 (R$44 as of December 31, 2022).  
                                                   
  Three collective proceedings were opened due to an approach to a customer, in August 2021 at the store in Limeira - SP, in which claim supposed racial issues. All were duly answered. One of them has already been extinguished by the judiciary without major effects. As of September 30, 2023, there are still two lawsuits in progress and, given the subjectivity of the matter, it is still not possible to reasonably estimate the amounts involved. A significant impact on the interim financial information is not yet expected.  
                                                   
  The Company engages external legal counsel to represent it in tax matters, whose fees are contingent on the final outcome of the lawsuits. Percentages may vary according to qualitative and quantitative factors of each proceeding, as of September 30, 2023, the estimated amount, in case of success of all lawsuits, was approximately R$19 (R$14 as of December 31, 2022).

The total amount relating to dividends corresponding to R$0.0500185431139003 per common share was paid in June 2023.  
                                                   
19.3 Expansion reserve  
                                                   
  At the AGM held on April 27, 2023 the constitution of the expansion reserve in the amount of R$325 was approved, against the profit reserve of the year 2022.  
                                                   
19.4 Tax incentive reserve
                                                   
  The tax incentive reserve by the States started are considered subsidiary for investment, deductible for the calculation of income tax and social contribution. Thus, for the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company allocated the amount of R$679 (R$540 as of September 30,2022) to the tax incentive reserve, of which R$413 refers to tax incentives generated in 2023 and R$266 to be recognized when the Company demonstrates income in subsequent periods.  
                                                   
  As provided for in article 30 of Law 12,973/14, the tax incentive reserve may be used to absorb losses, or for an increase in capital. Within the same legal provision, the tax incentive reserve is not part of the calculation basis for the minimum mandatory dividend, and the Company must subject it to taxation, in case of distribution.

19.5.3 Cash-settled share-based payment in the form of Virtual Shares
                                                   
  At the Extraordinary General Meeting held on July 14, 2023, the cash-settled share-based payment plan in the form of Virtual Shares was approved, only for the Company's Statutory Officers, this plan does not make officers a partner of the Company, they only acquire the right to receive a cash compensation corresponding to the average price of the Company's shares traded on B3 under the ticker ASAI3.  
                                                   
  The calculation methodology is the linear average of the share price considering the last 20 trading sessions, including the base date of August 1, 2023 (grant date), until the end of the plan on July 31, 2028. The payment will be made in local currency, considering the vesting periods of the virtual shares.  
                                                   
  1,989,465 virtual shares were granted to the Company's officers and the premium related to 50% of the virtual shares will be conditional on compliance with the service condition (virtual shares conditioned on time) and the other 50% of the virtual shares will be conditional on the cumulative compliance with the service condition and the performance condition (virtual shares conditioned on time and performance).  
                                                   
  For virtual shares conditioned on time to become vested, Offices must remain with the Company from the grant date to the dates below (vesting period):  
                                                   
  a) 20% (twenty percent) on the 3-year anniversary from the grant date;
b) 20% (twenty percent) on the 4-year anniversary from the grant date; and
c) 60% (sixty percent) on the 5-year anniversary from the grant date.
 
                                                   
  For virtual shares conditioned on time and performance to become vested, Officers must comply with the vesting periods above and achieving the goals, segregated between: a) Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") goal with weight 30%: i) percentage of people with disabilities employed by the Company; ii) percentage of women in Company leadership and iii) total carbon emissions – Scope 1 and 2; and b) Operational goal with weight 70%: i) operating cash flow.  
                                                   
  The targets above will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors and non-achievement of them at December 31, 2026 and 2027 may be compensated by achievement on subsequent measurement dates.  
                                                   
  At the end of each vesting period, virtual shares conditioned on time that have become vested virtual shares will be automatically settled, for virtual shares conditioned on time and performance the goals listed above must be achieved.   
                                                   
  If the Officer is terminated on his/her own initiative, the Officer will lose the right to receive unvested virtual shares, which will be immediately canceled and extinguished, without any compensation and/or indemnity, regardless of prior notice or notice. If the Officer is terminated at the initiative of the Company, through dismissal and removal from office due to serious misconduct, all his/her virtual shares will be extinguished, without any compensation and/or indemnity, regardless of prior notice or notice. If the Officer is terminated due to mutual agreement between the Company and the Officer or on the Company's initiative, through dismissal and removal from office without serious misconduct, the Officer will have the right, subject to compliance with restrictive obligations, to settlement of all vested virtual shares at the termination date and to maintain a portion of the unvested virtual shares as agreed between the parties.  
                                                   
  As at September 30, 2023, the amount of the liability corresponding to the plan, including payroll charges, is recorded as "Other non-current liabilities" in the amount of R$1 and the total expense recognized, including payroll charges, was R$1 and the fair value of this plan in that date was R$33, including payroll charges.
