Group CFO Ana Luísa Virgínia
APPENDIX
OUTLOOK 2026
SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS 2024-2026 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FINANCIAL CALENDAR
2026 OUTLOOK (1/4)
As presented on 18 March 2026
Heightened geopolitical uncertainty remains, affecting the sentiment of families and other economic agents
In our markets, consumers are likely to continue prioritising low prices and promotions, and
competitive intensity is unlikely to ease
We will stay focused on consumer needs
Our banners will work to guarantee their price competitiveness and effective promotional campaigns and will focus on developing the respective assortments
We will enhance our presence in the market by expanding our networks, improving the quality of our stores and strengthening our logistics operations - a key pillar of operational competitiveness
Therefore, the investment programme remains the top priority for capital allocation and, in 2026, is expected to reach around 1.2 billion euros
Considering the escalation of geopolitical instability and its unpredictable socioeconomic impacts, we will stay particularly attentive to changes in the environment, specially during H1 26, and remain flexible to make any necessary adjustments
2026 OUTLOOK (2/4)
As presented on 18 March 2026
In Poland, the competitive environment remains intense, with consumers focused on low prices and promotions. Food inflation is low, so operational discipline remains central to protecting profitability
Biedronka will…
maintain its price leadership, and is determined to offer the best value proposition to Polish families
work on developing its assortment, including reformulations and new product launches, leveraging the impressive number of daily visits to increase basket value in identified growth categories
strategically execute its capex plan - opening more than 120 (net) stores and refurbishing c.250. The focus on logistics remains, with progress on our first automated warehouse project and the construction and opening of a new distribution centre, which will bring the total number to 18
In Slovakia, Biedronka plans to open about 35 stores, strengthening its presence among Slovak families and further adapting its business model for this market
2026 OUTLOOK (3/4)
As presented on 18 March 2026
Hebe will stay focused on the strategic management of its sales mix, to strengthen its differentiation and protect profitability in a highly competitive market
30 new stores planned for Poland, while the e-commerce channel will maintain its central role in the growth and internationalization strategy
In Portugal, families are likely to continue favouring strong promotional dynamics that offer significant savings opportunities
With reinforced differentiation through its All About Food store concept, Pingo Doce will continue to execute an investment plan that includes around 10 new store openings and about 40 refurbishments
Recheio has opened a new store this February, in the Lisbon area, strengthening the banner's presence in a strategic market for the HoReCa channel. The Amanhecer partnership network will continue its growth trajectory, and currently operates 758 locations
2026 OUTLOOK (4/4)
As presented on 18 March 2026
In Colombia, where inflation remains relatively high for now, food consumption is expected to remain modest, given the prevailing uncertainty and ongoing pressures over families' budgets
Ara will…
remain dedicated to ensuring consumer preference, continuing its expansion to gain greater market presence and scale
maintain a disciplined approach to managing all profitability levers
strategically execute its capex plan by opening c.200 stores, and a new distribution centre (started operations in January 2026)
