1.1. Physical Platform

Americanas opened its first store in 1929 in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. In that same year, the Company established itself in

opened in 2019, a new record for openings at the Company. Americanas currently has 1,700 stores in 739 cities and

seven distribution centers installed in the states of Minas Gerais, Pará, Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul

and São Paulo.

1.2. Digital Platform

Brazil. The company operates on the following fronts: e-commerce through the brands americanas, Submarino,

Shoptime and Sou Barato; the consumer credit service platforms Submarino Finance and Digital Finance; payments,

1.3. Innovation Engine

IF - Innovation and Future is the innovation engine of the Americanas Universe, responsible for building disruptive

businesses and leveraging the various initiatives within the physical and digital platforms. Its main areas of activity are:

incubating new businesses, accelerating existing initiatives, investing in startups (venture capital), leading the O2O

fronts and prospecting for new opportunities, including M&A operations.

Ame, the fintech and mobile business platform, is one of IF's first initiatives and was created to

revolutionize the way people deal with money. With just over 18 months of operation, the number of

downloads of the app has already exceeded 6 million, allowing customers to pay for their purchases with the app on all

websites, in more than 1.5 million stores and in the 1,700 Americanas all over the country. Throughout the year, Ame

continued to evolve and several partnerships were established, increasing acceptance also in the off-us world. In

addition, several services have been included in the app, increasingly becoming a powerful one-stop app.

In addition to Ame, LET’S is also one of the initiatives of our innovation engine. LET'S is the shared

management platform for Americanas and B2W's logistics and distribution assets, which aims to

optimize the Companies' operations through a flexible fulfillment model.

2. MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT

2019 marked the end of a very important phase for the Americanas Universe and the beginning of a new 3-year cycle.

Throughout the year, the Americanas Universe was strengthened, IF - Inovação e Futuro - consolidated itself as the

innovation engine and LET’S accelerated the O2O (Online to Offline) initiatives with the objective of offering “Everything.

Anytime. Anywhere. ” During the year, the Companies have reached new levels of integration consolidating the vision of

the Americanas Universe.

On the physical platform, we exceeded the stores opening goal set out in the “Somos mais Brasil - 85 Years in 5”

program with the opening of 806 stores in the last 5 years, reaching 1,700 stores and 739 cities at the end of 2019. On

the digital platform a positive cash generation of R$ 189.9 million was recorded, successfully completing the plan to

transition the business model to a hybrid platform at which marketplace and digital services become increasingly

relevant.

All of these accomplishments are directly linked to the people who work at the Companies. We bring together the best

talents, committed to delivering results. Having the best talents means attracting and developing exceptional people,

valuing the differences, skills, abilities and experiences of the associates. Learning and development are constant at

the Companies, turning challenges into opportunities.

We were certified by the Great Place to Work (GPTW), an important recognition of the effort to keep evolving and

engaging the team to achieve increasingly challenging goals, always focusing on the customer. By continuously

investing in our people, we will increasingly be an excellent place to work and develop.

In 2019, we have reinforced our commitment to the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agenda. Following

the sustainability strategy of Americanas Universe, we expanded our activities in the promotion of quality education,

creating projects to expand connectivity in the Amazon region, as well as the development of people with school

learning, the correct destination of residues and the encouragement of entrepreneurship in the riverside communities.

In addition, we make public commitments related to reducing inequalities with the Racial and Gender Equality Coalition

and with the UN Principles of Women's Empowerment. We understand that the journey is long, but we believe in the

strength of our business to transform the way of thinking, engaging the networks of relationships and generating a

positive impact.

In 2019, the Americanas Universe reached the marks of R$ 32.6 billion GMV, R$ 3.5 billion EBITDA, 18.5% EBITDA Margin

and a net income of R$ 704.1 million, the biggest recorded profit of the Company.

Ame, our fintech and the mobile business platform, continues accelerating its business plan and reached the mark of

6.5 million downloads in just over 18 months of operation. Throughout the year, we signed important partnerships that

will accelerate the acceptance of the wallet in the off-us and stimulate consumption with the offer of credit. AME

already has more than 35 active features, of which we highlight: P2P transactions (peer to peer), cash-in and cash-out

at 1,700 physical points, cell phone recharge, bill payment (payment slips), hiring transport services passengers, hiring

domestic services, donations for social projects and games.

The physical and digital platforms continue to undergo a profound transformation and in this context, the Americanas

Universe ended 2019 with more than 327 million transactions and more than 38 million active customers, 26 million on

the physical platform, 16 million on the digital platform and a 4 million overlap of common customers.

Despite the recent and important achievements, we have a lot of space to develop the platforms and increase the

active customer base, as well as the overlap of common customers in the next 3 years. As we increase the offer of

products and services, intensify the use of data analytics, expand O2O initiatives, attract more sellers to the

marketplace, expand the supply chain platform, improve the innovation environment and we foster AME as the best

payment method of Americanas Universe, we increase the frequency of purchase and thus we will achieve our growth

dream always seeking to be the best option for customers.

Finally, we thank our customers, employees, suppliers and shareholders who are part of all these achievements, which

show that we are on the right path, seeking to fulfill dreams and meet people's consumption needs, saving time and

money and exceeding their expectations. We reiterate confidence in the country's development and, in 2020, we will

continue determined to reach new levels of results.

3. STRATEGY AND INVESTMENT

3.1. Physical Platform

The year 2019 marked the delivery of the most ambitious expansion plan in the Company's history, the “85 Years in 5 –

Somos mais Brasil”, opening of 806 stores between 2015 and 2019, reaching 1,700 stores distributed in 739 cities, and

presence in all regions of the country. In December 2019, the physical platform had more than 27 thousand members, a

1,209.3 thousand square meters sales area.

In addition, over the past 10 years, Americanas has expanded its store network more than 3 times, reiterating our

commitment to the business model, in addition to the optimism regarding the country's economic scenario.

The following chart details the Company's expansion over the past 10 years:

3.1.1. Convenience Stores – Local

Under IF's leadership, Local's strategy and business model continued to improve during the year. Thus, the format

continued to expand in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, opening of 15 stores in 2019, ending the year with a

total of 53 stores in operation.

The current store portfolio allows us to improve the model adapted to each location, always seeking to be the best

option for customers who want to find everything they need in one location, quickly. During the year, aiming to improve

the consumer experience, new categories of food and services were tested, in addition to the creation of a new layout

to make the customer's daily journey more practical and increase their independence in relation to other formats of

store.

In the front of services, the model continued to invest in order to become a hub of convenience solutions, taking

advantage of the integration with +AQUI and O2O solutions and developing actions with Ame.

Page 6: 1. ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE AMERICANAS UNIVERSE · Ame, the fintech and mobile business platform, is one of IF's first initiatives and was created to revolutionize the way people deal

6

3.1.2. +AQUI

+AQUI is the platform responsible for the management and promotion of services in Americanas’ stores, offering

customers solutions in the fronts of credit, insurance, gift cards, services and assisted sales. In order to provide

credit, protect assets and exceed customer expectations with excellent service, +AQUI seeks partnerships with

specialized companies that are prominent in their sectors, expanding the portfolio of services and ensuring solutions

for the various demands.

In 2019, in order to improve the customer experience, the platform internalized the integrated services system and

expanded its capacity. In addition, mobile service via tablet was also activated in some stores. During the year, a

partnership with Ame was also signed, which contributed to increase the number of users and the offer of benefits.

Partnerships were also made with mobile network operators to offer plans and grant discounts for the purchase of

devices, in addition to the partnership renewal with Blackhawk to sell content cards.

With the development of this process, +AQUI has great growth prospects, through investment in the customer

experience and focus on assisted sales. Thus, the platform ends the year with a base of more than 870 thousand

unique customers and presence in more than 650 stores, and continues to improve the customer's shopping journey.

3.1.3. Private Label

Americanas has 15 private label brands designed especially for those seeking quality and fair prices in several

categories. Over 7 thousand products are offered in the segments of food, candies, housewares, clothing, stationery,

toys, hygiene, beauty, among others. Throughout the year, the brands continued to diversify their product offerings,

operating in the main events and bringing new products to customers, in addition to establishing partnerships for

licensing.

In 4Q19, private label products showed excellent performance in the main events, such as: Children's Day, Red Friday

and Christmas. We highlight the presence of the Brink+ brand, which launched more than 100 new items on Children's

Day and which, in the year, showed growth of more than 20% when compared to the previous year. During Red Friday,

some items from the Casual Home brand reached the sales volume of one month in just 3 days of the event.

At Christmas, the performance of the Christmas Traditions, D´elicce and Brink+ brands was a highlight. The first

offered customers a complete assortment for decoration. The D´elicce brand, on the other hand, expanded its product

portfolio, with emphasis on panettones licensed in a partnership signed with the company Mattel. And Brink+

consolidated itself as the Company's largest toy brand, becoming the market leader in some categories.

3.1.4. Digital Lab

The "Digital Lab" proposes to strengthen the interaction between the Company and academic institutions. The

connection with academic knowledge is one of the ways of updating the business, putting the Company in contact with

the most modern and innovative and bringing new perspectives. Americanas believes that fostering research and

innovation, in addition to bring real solutions to our challenges, can bear fruit for the country's socioeconomic

development.

Throughout the year, the Company developed and stimulated several projects related to innovation and research. We

highlight below the main initiatives of the year.

• Partnership with MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) Renewal: the objective of the program is to create and

strengthen mutually beneficial relationships between MIT and corporations worldwide;

• Brazil Conference at Harvard & MIT Sponsorship: the event is held by the Brazilian community of students in Boston

to promote the meeting with leaders and representatives of Brazil's diversity;

• Hackathons: throughout the year we promoted and participated as mentors of several hackathons with educational

institutions such as IED, UFRJ, PUC-Rio and IBMEC;

• Partnership with UFRJ and CEFET to mentor disciplines and Projects with IESE Business School and University of

Illinois: Students were invited to develop solutions to real challenges facing the Company.

Pricing

The pricing laboratory at PUC-RJ continues to advance in modeling and refining studies of product lines that have the

greatest impact on results. In the last quarter of the year, the company deepened its knowledge of the home appliance

market and the development of new pricing models to capture opportunities in different departments, aiming to

obtain sales and margin gains.

3.2. Digital Platform

On the digital platform, 2019 was marked by the conclusion of the three-year Strategic Plan (2017-2019), which sought

to migrate from the direct sales (1P) business model to the hybrid digital platform model (1P + 3P + Services).

3.2.1. Marketplace

B2W Marketplace offers the best value proposition for sellers, who can use the brands with the best reputation on the

internet and highly qualified traffic to leverage their sales. To deliver the best shopping experience to the customer,

Sellers also have the support of an extremely experienced and qualified sales team, in addition to the entire B2W Digital

platform. Sellers' feedback has been that they sell more on the B2W Marketplace than on other platforms available on

the market.

Page 8: 1. ORGANIZATIONAL PROFILE AMERICANAS UNIVERSE · Ame, the fintech and mobile business platform, is one of IF's first initiatives and was created to revolutionize the way people deal

8

In just five years, the Marketplace has already reached R$ 11.6 billion in GMV in 2019, a growth of 49.7% over the previous

year, representing 64.2% of the total GMV. Over the past year, 24,900 new sellers were connected, increasing the base

to 46,800 sellers. As a result, the number of items (SKUs) offered on the websites totaled 29.5 million at the end of

4Q19, an increase of 264% versus 4Q18, driven by the Marketplace.

A relevant part of B2W's strategy, the Marketplace will contribute strongly to its growth and profitability.

3.2.2. Americanas Mundo

Cross border operation that allows customers to buy products from all over the world (including USA and China),

creating a new growth front for B2W Marketplace. Launched in March 2019, the cross border operation continues its

fast expansion and already has more than 13.4 million SKUs, 33 times more than the initial 410 thousand SKUs. The

operation was responsible for the best-selling item on Black Friday.

3.2.3. Digital Lab

B2W created BIT - B2W Innovation and Technology, aiming to create an inspiring and collaborative environment

focused on the development of new technologies and innovative solutions. They are offices with the concept of open

spaces, areas for informal meetings, decompression environments and arenas for events. B2W currently has BITs in

the cities of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife and Boston.

Our BITs were inspired by the largest and best centers of innovation and entrepreneurship in the world and currently

have more than 1,500 software engineers experimenting with new approaches and tools all the time. Considering the

scale of B2W, when the right tools are not available in the market, they are developed and made available in-house,

such as Asgard, RestQL and Apache Marvin, our open source projects.

In recent years, BITs have become a reference in disruptive initiatives, developing innovative projects with Harvard

and MIT universities, which resulted in articles published with the scientific community. The fronts developed were:

marketing optimization (in partnership with the artificial intelligence laboratory at Stanford University, by professor

Andrew Ng, founder of Google Brains and co-founder of Coursera), last mile (with professor Matthias Winkenbach,

director of MIT Megacity Logistics Lab) and artificial intelligence (creation of Marvin, open source artificial intelligence

platform currently incubated by the Apache Foundation).

To meet the specific demands of B2W's business, engineers developed projects in the areas of machine learning,

scalable software architecture and natural language processing in partnership with the Federal University of São

Carlos (UFSCAR).

3.2.4. Supermercado Now

B2W acquired Supermercado Now, an innovative e-commerce platform focused on the online supermarket category.

The business model, of proven success in other countries, has great growth opportunity in Brazil and will allow B2W to

expand its presence in the category, opening a new growth front and offering an even more complete assortment to

customers.

the physical world, with features such as payment, inventory and treasury management for points of sale. Ame

Pro has native integration with Ame and B2W Marketplace.

Ame is the official payment method for the “Rio de Janeiro Street Carnival 2020”. During the event, more than

10,000 street vendors will be accredited to sell with Ame, impacting millions of people.

Ame Go

In 2019 Ame Go was launched, a store format that offers an innovative experience with exclusive technology in Brazil,

allowing customers to buy products without queues or checkout. The store uses artificial intelligence, machine

learning and computer vision, refrigerators and shelves are integrated with sensors that detect when products are

removed or returned from the shelves. During the year, the unassisted sales experiment was expanded through the

opening of 2 Ame Go stores and 1 itinerant Ame Go store, located in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

keeps developing. Currently, more than 100 stores in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo offer Ship From Store services from

the platform.

Pedala and Courri

In December 2019, Ame completed the acquisition of startups Pedala and Courri, which specialize in fast and

sustainable deliveries by bicycles and scooters. The acquisition aims to accelerate the operation of Ame Flash, making

deliveries in large urban centers with different low-carbon modes, in addition to expanding the network of connected

partner deliverers, allowing the acceleration of the “Ship from Store”.

3.3.2. LET’S – Logistics and Distribution

LET'S, a shared management platform for Americanas and B2W's logistics assets, continuously promotes the concept

of “Everything. Every time. Anywhere. ”, accelerating and consolidating O2O initiatives as the main vehicles to improve

our customers' purchasing journey. In 2019, the combined O2O modalities surpassed the R$ 2 billion mark in GMV (+

153% vs 2018).

Pursuing the strategic objective of becoming increasingly relevant in our customers’ daily lives, in 2019, the Americanas

Universe reached the mark of 38 million active clients, considering those who made at least one purchase in the last 12

months.

In addition, the analytical capacity for understanding the client has been expanded, especially in behavioral

segmentations. This individualized view assists in directing marketing actions for each type of customer, at each

moment of their relationship with stores, websites and products. In this sense, an important initiative during 2019 was

the creation of the discounts area in the Americanas app. In the area called "Aqui tem Desconto", the customer can

activate exclusive offers available in stores. There were more than 1.4 million customers who activated offers on the

app, reaching approximately 17 million product activations with discounts.

using survey data from e-mail, presential and by store totems. More than 700 thousand surveys were carried out in all

stores and achieved more than 80% of promoter customers, those who attribute a satisfaction score greater than 90

points. In 2019, Americanas ended the year with an NPS of 80 points.

The digital platform brands were once again considered as reference in customer service, reaching the highest levels
