Comments from Mr. Antonio Chedraui, CEO of Grupo Comercial Chedraui

"Continuing our trend from the end of last year, in this first quarter of 2022 we once again achieved extraordinary results across all our business segments. In our Mexican operation, we maintained above market growth, which was driven by our ability to execute, the trust our customers have in us, and the recovery of the tourist areas in which we operate. At the same time, we were able to significantly expand our profitability due to efficient management of all lines on the Income Statement. In the United States, we reached unprecedented same store sales growth, while continuing to integrate the Smart&Final operation, whose successful format continues to prove the investment rationale in this business. Beyond the short-term results, the company maintains its focus on growth and improved profitability for the future, and our healthy balance sheet will allow us to face any challenge and take advantage of opportunities that arise. I would also like to highlight the Company's cash flow generation, which has made it possible to reduce the debt resulting from the acquisition made last year. In summary, we will continue to strengthen our capabilities and operation to create further value for Chedraui and its shareholders."
