Our revenue declined 6% YoY , mostly due to our retail businesses in Chile, where revenue fell by around 20% in Department Stores and Home Improvement. We are bringing our inventories back to normal levels (-13% compared to March 2022), which will leave them better positioned for the remainder of 2023, and reduce the negative pressure on margins that we experienced in the second half of 2022. This has allowed us to improve in US$375 million the cash flow generation this quarter compared to the first quarter of 2022 (non-banking businesses). In Chile, we are seeing stabilization of our loan portfolio delinquency levels, due to more restrictive origination policies and to a better collection management. This will allow us to focus on achieving our objective of becoming the leading digital bank in the Andean region, where our banking revenue grew 22% YoY , and we opened 620,000 accounts and credit cards during the quarter. After the launch of falabella.com in Colombia, our Marketplace platform is now fully deployed in the Andean region . Our attractive value proposition for customers and sellers has kept 3P sales growing (+23% YoY), despite a contraction in online sales. Despite high inflation in each country (~11% yearly), our SG&A expenses grew less than 1% YoY . This partially reflects the results of our efficiency plan announced in October 2022. More than 90% of the initiatives in this plan are being implemented. Our leverage level, measured as net financial debt to EBITDA (non- banking), has deteriorated due to the temporary fall in the profitability of our businesses. The efforts to improve working capital and expenses aim to improve the trajectory of the leverage level in the medium-term . 2 HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PERIOD / 3 3 Explanations for 1Q23 results (US$ million) 1,2 1Q22 % revenues 1Q23 % revenues Var (%) Total sales Total sales 3.984 3.621 -9% GMV Online 794 703 -11% GMV own products (1P) 653 530 -19% GMV third-party products (3P) 141 173 23% Total sales of physical stores 3.190 2.918 -9% TPV 667 646 -3% Financial Results Non-Banking Revenue 3.221 86,8% 2.878 82,8% -11% Financial Services Revenue 490 13,2% 598 17,2% 22% Total Revenue 3.711 100% 3.476 100% -6% Gross profit 1.225 33,0% 1.020 29,3% -17% SG&A expenses (1.008) -27,2% (1.017) -29,2% 1% Operational income 217 5,9% 3 0,1% -98% EBITDA 370 10,0% 161 4,6% -57% Non-operating profit (112) -3,0% (100) -2,9% -11% Net (Loss) Income 92 2,5% (76) -2,2% -183% Balance Sheet Cash (non-banking) 446 664 49% Gross Loan Book 7.776 7.834 1% Total Net Debt (Exc.
