Highlights

Consolidated revenues increased 26.9% YoY to Ps. 7.2 billion in 1Q05 from Ps. 5.7 billion in 1Q04. Revenues were boosted by the financial division’s solid growth, by the favorable performance of our new stores, and the continued success of our Latin-American operations.

Merchandise sales for 1Q05 rose 7.7% YoY to Ps. 4.3 billion from Ps. 4.0 billion in 1Q04. Going forward, we expect that our new stores and new products, and our effective and competitive promotional credit and cash price campaign strategies could spur growth in merchandise revenues.

Banco Azteca’s gross credit portfolio grew 90.4% YoY to Ps. 11.7 billion in 1Q05 from Ps. 6.1 billion in 1Q04; while customer deposits grew 83.4% YoY to Ps. 20.5 billion from Ps. 11.2 billion in 1Q04.

ANNEX 1


Mexico City, April 21, 2005 – Grupo Elektra S.A. de C.V. (BMV: ELEKTRA*; NYSE: EKT; Latibex: XEKT), Latin America’s specialty retailer, consumer finance and banking and financial services company, reported today its financial results for the first quarter of 2005.

Javier Sarro, CEO of Grupo Elektra said, “Our 1Q05 results showed excellent consolidated revenues and a strong cash generation. Going into the remainder of the year, we expect an increased participation of the financial division in sales and earnings. We also anticipate that our new stores and new products offered at our stores could boost growth in merchandise sales. Furthermore, we will continue implementing strategies to ease the pressure on the gross margin of these revenues”.

Carlos Septién, Banco Azteca’s CEO, commented “Banco Azteca continues to show an outstanding growth across all financial products and services. Our business has been supported a strong infrastructure in order to cater to an increasing customer base, through more than 1,400 bank branches across Mexico”.

1Q05 Financial Highlights

          Consolidated Revenues

Total consolidated revenues increased 26.9% YoY from Ps. 5.7 billion in 1Q04 to Ps. 7.2 billion in 1Q05, the highest level reached in a first quarter. This result is explained by:

A solid 71.2% increase YoY in financial revenues from Banco Azteca, growth largely attributable to the promotional campaigns implemented through the quarter that increased the number of credit applications at our stores, new desks at third party channels; 12 new stand-alone branches; and the success of our mobile sales force (Comercializadora) in attracting new customers.

A 7.7% YoY growth in merchandise sales boosted by new, relocated and remodeled stores; and by the addition of new merchandise including an exclusive brand Blue Light; LCD monitors, ATV (All Terrain Vehicles) and recreational motorcycles, and portable DVD’s. Finally, we are also reaping the benefits of our continued aggressive pricing and promotional strategies, and our door-to-door sales initiative.

A 26.9% YoY growth in money transfer revenues;

A 146.9% YoY growth in other income, which includes revenues from Milenia, Afore Azteca, Seguros Azteca, and from our credit operations in Latin America. The YoY in this revenue line is explained by the favorable results registered in our two newest business units (Afore and Seguros Azteca) and the encouraging results in our Latin-American operations.

154 net new stores and a 17.4% YoY growth in the exhibition surface area.

EBITDA

Consolidated EBITDA reached Ps. 1.0 billion a 19.0% YoY increase from Ps. 862.8 million in 1Q04. During the quarter, the growth in operating expenses was partially offset by higher consolidated revenues and a 239 basis points higher consolidated gross margin. Consolidated EBITDA margin reached 14.3%, 95 basis points lower than the 15.2% reported in 1Q04.

Operating
Expenses

During the quarter, operating expenses grew 41.6% YoY, from Ps. 1,586.9 million in 1Q04 to Ps. 2,247.5 million in 1Q05. The increase in operating expenses was mainly the result of:

154 net new stores (170 openings and 16 closings), 9 remodeled and 2 relocated stores.

Higher compensation for our employees, in line with our plan based on contribution.

Hiring and training of new employees for our financial division and our door-to-door sales force, which is reflected in a 23.3% increase in headcount, from 23,114 employees at the end of 1Q04 to 28,510 employees in 1Q05.

Higher advertising expenses from our new business units.

Operating Profit

Operating income increased by 18.6% YoY as depreciation and amortization expenses increased 22.4% YoY.
This increase is attributable to the growth in fixed assets in both the retail and financial division as a consequence of our expansion, remodeling and relocation plans.

Net Income

Our solid operating performance, coupled with a 18.5% YoY decrease in the comprehensive cost of financing, as well as a Ps. 11.7 million gain from our equity participation in Comunicaciones Avanzadas, led to a net income of Ps. 518.8 million in 1Q05, 20.9% higher than the Ps. 429.3 million net income of 1Q04.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statements of Banco Azteca, Afore Azteca and Seguros Azteca included in the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting criteria established by the Commission, which are the same as Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Mexican GAAP).

Below is a summary of the most significant accounting policies, including the concepts, methods and criteria related to recognition of the effects of inflation on the financial information:

1


 

  a.   Recognition of the effects of inflation
 
      The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP and are expressed in constant pesos with purchasing power as of March 31, 2005, in accordance with the following policies:

  - Inventory and cost of sales are restated by using the replacement cost method.
 
  - Property, furniture, equipment, investment in stores, minority investments in shares, goodwill and the components of shareholder equity are restated by applying factors derived from the Mexican National Consumer Price Index (INPC).
 
  - The gain on monetary position represents the profit from inflation, as measured by the INPC, on the monthly net monetary liabilities and assets during the year, restated to pesos with purchasing power as of the end of last year.
 
  - The result from holding non-monetary assets represents the increase of the restated value of these assets, applying specific costs above or below inflation measured in terms of the INPC, and is included in the insufficiency in the restatement of capital.
 
  - The INPC used to recognize the effects of inflation on the financial statements was 113.438 and 108.672 as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

  b.   Principles of consolidation
 
      The consolidated financial statements include those of the Company and all of its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and operations have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
  c.   Investments in securities
 
      The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents.
 
      The marketable securities of Banco Azteca are represented by trading securities, which are initially recorded at their cost of acquisition, plus yields generated, and recognized in the statement of income as they accrue.
 
      Negotiable securities are expressed at their net realization value, based on their estimated market value, determined by a price provider authorized by the Commission.

2


 

  d.   Loan portfolio
 
      The balance of the loan portfolio is represented by the amounts actually granted to borrowers, plus uncollected accrued interest and deducted from interest collected in advance and from the allowance for credit losses.
 
      Loans are considered past due based on their total unpaid balance, when interest or installment payments are not received within the terms shown below:

  - Loans with a single payment of principal and interest 30 days or more past due.
 
  - Loans with a single payment of principal at due date and periodic interest payments 90 days or more past due on interest payments or 30 days or more past due on the payment of principal.
 
  - Loans with installments on the principal and interest, at 90 days or more in arrears.
 
  - Revolving loans if there are two monthly billing periods, or 60 or more days past due.
 
  - Mortgage loans, when principal and interest payments are 90 days or more past due.

  e.   Allowance for credit losses
 
      The Company has created reserves in accordance with expected losses, based on historical experience. The calculation of this reserve was performed following the methodology utilized by Elektrafin, a Company that granted loans until 2002, and which merged with Elektra in 2003 before BAZ began operations, which consisted of increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts for each credit sale.
 
  f.   Inventories and cost of sales
 
      Inventories and cost of sales are originally determined by the average cost method and are restated as mentioned in Note 2-a. Value of inventories so determined do not exceed current market value.

3


 

  g.   Property, furniture, equipment and investment in stores
 
      Real estate, furniture and equipment are expressed at cost of acquisition and are restated as explained in Note 2-a. Investment in stores represents expenditures necessary to prepare the stores operated by the Company, and is restated as mentioned in Note 2-a.
 
      Depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Amortization of investment in stores is calculated by the straight-line method over periods not exceeding five years.
 
  h.   Investments in shares of associated companies
 
      The investment in CASA is valued by the equity method. The equity in the results of CASA is shown in the statement of results net of the amortization of goodwill.
 
      The other investments in shares in which it owns less than 10% of the capital are expressed originally at cost and are restated as mentioned in Note 2-a.
 
      In accordance with the accounting provisions of Bulletin C-15, “Impairment in the Value of Long-Lived Assets and Their Disposal”, of Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the value of the shares in permanent investments is subject to tests of impairment in those cases where the value of the use is less than the accounting value. The difference is the impairment of goodwill.
 
  i.   Goodwill
 
      Until December 31, 2004, the excess of cost of the shares of associates and subsidiaries over the book value (goodwill) is amortized over 20 years. In accordance with the accounting provisions of Bulletin C-15, “Impairment in the Value of Long-Lived Assets and Their Disposal”, of the Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, goodwill is subject to tests of impairment in those cases where the value of use is less than the accounting value. The difference is the impairment of goodwill.
 
      As of March 31, 2005, the balance of goodwill presented in the balance sheets only corresponds to CASA.
 
  j.   Demand and term deposits
 
      BAZ liabilities for this concept are composed of interest bearing deposits and savings, which are represented by concentrated, savings and investment accounts, as well as notes with yields payable on maturity. These liabilities are recorded at capture or placement costs plus accrued interest determined by days transpired as of the monthly close. These are charged to the results.

4


 

      Ahorro Guardadito and Inversion Azteca demand deposits accrue annual interest from 0.5% to 1.5% in savings and in investments from 4% to 6%, respectively (79% of the account), and from 6% to 8% annually (21% of the account).
 
      Money market funds have $ 324 million with interest at 8.95% with maturity dates principally between 90 and 180 days. The remainder is at a 9.01% rate with 30 day maximum terms.
 
  k.   Income Tax, Asset Tax and Employees’ Statutory Profit Sharing
 
      The Company recognizes the effects of deferred taxes by applying the income tax rate to all differences between the book and tax values of assets and liabilities, and considering tax-loss carry-forwards and asset tax recoverable likely to be obtained.
 
      Deferred employees’ statutory profit sharing is determined considering the non-recurring temporary differences between the accounting profit and the taxable base used for profit-sharing purposes.
 
  l.   Labor obligations
 
      Seniority premiums, to which employees are entitled upon termination of employment after 15 years of service, as well as benefits from the non-contributory retirement plans established by the Company’s subsidiaries for their employees, to which they do not contribute, are recognized as costs of the years in which the services are rendered through contributions to irrevocable trust funds, based on actuarial studies.
 
      Other seniority-based compensation, to which employees may be entitled in the event of dismissal or death, in accordance with the Mexican Federal Labor Law, is charged to results in the year in which it becomes payable. (See Note 2-u).
 
  m.   Review of the values of long-lived assets
 
      The Company periodically evaluates the recovery value of its tangible and intangible long-lived assets, including goodwill, based on future flows from its two cash-generating units (sales and credit). If the accounting value of the assets exceeds the use value (discounted flows) a loss from impairment of these assets is recognized.
 
      The procedure and criterion used by the company are in agreement with the provisions established in Bulletin C-15, “Impairment in the Value of Long-Lived Assets and Their Disposal”, of Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, issued in March 2003.

5


 

  n.   Transactions in foreign currencies and
translation of foreign operations
 
      Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the exchange rates prevailing on the dates on which they are entered into. Assets and liabilities denominated in these currencies are stated at Mexican peso equivalents current as of the date of the balance sheet. Exchange differences arising from fluctuations in the exchange rates between the dates on which transactions are entered into and those on which they are settled or valued at the close of the year are applied to the results.
 
      To consolidate the operations of the subsidiaries in Guatemala, Honduras and Peru, the company restates the figures of these subsidiaries by applying inflation factors of each country and converts the assets and liabilities (monetary and non-monetary), as well as the income and expenses at the exchange rate in effect on the date of the close of the year.
 
  o.   Earnings per share
 
      Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the consolidated net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
 
  p.   Operations with derivative financial instruments
 
      Beginning in 2004, the effects of operations with derivative financial instruments indexed to company’s own shares are recognized in the statement of results as income or expense, and those resulting from interest rate coverage instruments are recognized in the comprehensive profit, both at their fair value as of December 31 of each year.
 
      Until December 31, 2003 profits and losses from derivative financial operation contracts were recorded within the premium for placement of shares because it dealt with operations with the company’s own shares. Until 2003, accrued interest expense on the transactions, as well as dividends pertaining to these shares, were recorded in income.
 
      Beginning in 2004, the company chose early adoption of Bulletin B-10, “Derivative Financial Instruments and Coverage Operations” of the Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
 
  q.   Comprehensive income
 
      Comprehensive income includes the net income for the year, plus any items which, in accordance with Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, must be recorded directly in the shareholder equity and are not capital contributions or reductions
 
  r.   Revenue recognition
 
      The Company recognizes revenue on sales when goods are delivered to customers.

6


 

      Interest is recognized as income when accrued, applying the straight-line method. However, recognition of interest is suspended at the time when loans are reclassified to the past due portfolio. With respect to uncollected ordinary accrued interest corresponding to loans classified to the past due portfolio, an estimate is created for an amount equivalent to the total amount at the time the loan is reclassified to the past-due portfolio. Accrued interest (late) during the period in which the loan is classified to the past due portfolio is not recognized as income until it is actually collected.
 
      Revenues from money transfer services represent the commissions paid by Western Union to Elektra arising from money transfers collected in BAZ located in Elektra and SyR stores and third party channels, plus the company’s share of the foreign exchange gain, as well as commissions paid by Elektra’s customers for money transfers within Mexico. Both types of commissions are recorded when services are provided.
 
      Revenues from extended warranty sales are recorded as deferred credits on the date the contracts are sold, and are applied to income using the straight-line method over the terms of the extended warranties (from two to five years).
 
      Income from the sale of life insurance policies are recorded at the time the policies are issued, and are decreased by the premiums paid for reinsurance.
 
  s.   Presentation of revenues and costs
 
      In order to match income derived from the Company’s credit activities with the costs necessary to generate them, both decreased by the result from monetary position, interest accrued from credit sales and late interest are presented as income. Similarly, interest paid for savings and the estimate for credit risk are classified within costs.
 
      Other interest earned or paid is classified as part of the comprehensive cost of financing.
 
  t.   Use of estimates
 
      Preparation of financial statements in accordance with Mexican Generally Accepted Accounting Principles requires that management make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REPORT

ANNEX 1


We invite you to visit our corporate website at www.grupoelektra.com.mx

Except for historical information, the matters discussed in this press release are forward-looking statements and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Risks that may affect Grupo Elektra are identified in its Form 20-F and other filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

As used in this press release, EBITDA is operating income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted by eliminating monetary (loss) gain included in our revenues and cost, respectively. In accordance with Regulation G, issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, reconciliation between net income and EBITDA is provided in the notes provided in our financial statements. EBITDA is presented because of the following reasons:

Our management uses EBITDA as a measure of performance business allowing us to compare ourselves with our peers’ multiples, ratios and margins derived from EBITDA. It also serves to evaluate and compensate certain employees.

We believe EBITDA is one of the tools that we can use to measure our cash-flow generation, because it excludes some non-cash items as monetary gains or losses, depreciation and amortization, etc.

EBITDA is also a measure contained in certain financial covenants of our debt, and consequently we are required to calculate it in order to verify compliance with such covenants.

We are aware that EBITDA has material limitations associated with its use, (i.e., EBITDA, as defined by us, excludes items such as Discontinued operations, and includes the Allowance for doubtful accounts, which contains or does not contain, respectively, portions of cash). However, our management compensates these material limitations with the use of our consolidated financial statements and its notes. We believe that EBITDA is used by certain investors as one measure of a company’s historical ability to service its debt.

EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the consolidated income statements or the consolidated statements of changes in financial position prepared in accordance with Mexican GAAP (PCGA) or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA is not (a) a measure determined under PCGA or U.S. GAAP, (b) an alternative to PCGA or U.S. GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss), (c) a measure of liquidity or cash flows as determined under PCGA or U.S. GAAP or (d) a measure provided in order to smooth earnings.

EBITDA does not represent discretionary funds. EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
