8.1 State VAT tax credits - ICMS
                                                   
  The Brazilian States have been substantially amending their local laws aiming at implementing and broadening the ICMS tax replacement system. This system entails the prepayment of ICMS of the whole commercial chain, upon goods outflow from an industrial establishment or importer or their inflow into each State. The expansion of this system to an increasingly wider range of products sold in the retail generates the prepayment of the tax and consequently a refund in certain operations.  
                                                   
  With respect to credits that cannot yet be immediately offset, the Company's management, according to a technical recovery study, based on the future expectation of growth and consequent offset against taxes payable from its operations, believes that its future offset is viable. The mentioned studies are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information obtained from the strategic planning previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of September 30, 2024, the Company's management has monitoring controls over the adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of the recoverable ICMS balance, as shown in the table below:  
                                                   
  Year   Amount                                  
  Within 1 year        547                                  
  From 1 to 2 years        121                                  
  From 2 to 3 years        100                                  
  From 3 to 4 years       83                                  
  From 4 to 5 years       44                                  
  More than 5 years        139                                  
                 1,034                                  
                                                   
8.2 PIS and COFINS credit
                                                   
  On March 15, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court  ("STF”) recognized the unconstitutionality of the inclusion of ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation base. On May 13, 2021, the STF judged the Declaration Embargoes in relation to the amount to be excluded from the calculation basis of the contributions, which should only be the ICMS paid, or if the entire ICMS, as shown in the respective invoices. The STF rendered a favorable decision to the taxpayers, concluding that all ICMS highlighted should be excluded from the calculation basis.  
                                                   
  Currently the Company, with the favorable judgment of the Supreme Court, has recognized the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis.  
                                                   
  The Company had contingent tax assets in the amount of R$54 related to PIS and COFINS credits, which were fully compensated in the period ended September 30, 2024.  
                                                   
  • Expected realization of PIS and COFINS credits
                                                   
  In relation to the recoverable PIS and COFINS credits, the Company's management, based on a technical recovery study considering future growth expectations and consequent offset against debts from its operations, projects its future realization. The mentioned studies are prepared and periodically reviewed based on information obtained from the strategic planning previously approved by the Company's Board of Directors. For the interim financial information as of September 30, 2024, the Company's management has monitoring controls over the adherence to the annually established plan, reassessing and including new elements that contribute to the realization of the recoverable PIS and COFINS balance, in the amount of R$462, and expected realization is within one year.

  (i) On June 23, 2023, as per the Notice to the Market published on the same date, Casino, through its subsidiaries Wilkes, Geant International BV ("GIBV") and Segisor S.A.S ("Segisor"), sold 157,582,850 common shares issued by the Company, representing 11.67% of its share capital, through a block trade operation carried out on the same date. As a result, the Casino Group now holds an ownership interest of less than 0.01% of Sendas' share capital, no longer being considered a related party of the Company. The balances with these companies and their subsidiaries are presented under the line items Other accounts receivable and Other accounts payable in the balance sheet in the interim financial information for the period ended September 30, 2024.
                                             
  Additionally, after the completion of the spin-off between the Company and GPA on December 31, 2020, both undertook to put forth commercially reasonable efforts, within up to 18 months, to release, replace and/or otherwise remove the counterparty from the position of guarantor of liabilities or obligations, which after such term would be subject to the payment of a fee, net, as remuneration for the guarantees provided by both parties. If the Company and GPA cease to be submitted to common control, the parties would be required to release, replace and/or otherwise remove the guarantees until then not replaced or provided, observing the terms established in the Separation Agreement.
                                             
  The Company and GPA ceased to be related parties in fiscal year 2023 and are taking the necessary measures to replace the cross guarantees on the contractual obligations of: i) rental of stores; ii) borrowing agreement; and iii) purchase of electricity. The fee paid to GPA as remuneration for the guarantees provided as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was less than R$1.

  In accordance with OFÍCIO-CIRCULAR/CVM/SNC/SEP/N°02/2019 the Company adopted as an accounting policy the requirements of CPC 06 (R2)/IFRS 16 - Leases, in the measurement and remeasurement of its right of use, using the discounted cash flow model, without considering inflation.  
 
 

 

     
  To safeguard the faithful representation of information to meet the requirements of CPC 06 (R2)/IFRS 16 - Leases, and the guidelines of the CVM technical areas, the balances of assets and liabilities without inflation, effectively accounted for (real flow x real rate) are provided, and the estimate of inflated balances in the comparison period (nominal flow x nominal rate).  
                                                   
  Other assumptions, such as the maturity schedule of liabilities and the interest rates used in the calculation, are disclosed in note 13.2.1, as well as inflation indexes are observable in the market, so that the nominal flows can be prepared by the users of the interim financial information.

14.1 Bonuses from suppliers
                                                   
  These include commercial agreements and discounts obtained from suppliers. These amounts are defined in agreements and include discounts for purchase volume, joint marketing programs, freight reimbursements, and other similar programs. The receipt occurs by deducting trade notes payable to suppliers, according to conditions established in the supply agreements, so that the financial settlements occur for the net amount.  

 
 

 

14.2 Agreements among suppliers, the Company and banks
                                                   
  The Company has agreements signed with financial institutions, through which suppliers of products, capital goods and services have the possibility of receiving in advance their amounts receivable,  also named “forfait” / “confirming”.  The financial institutions become creditors of the operation and the Company settles the payments under the same conditions as those originally agreed with the supplier.  
                                                   
  Management, based on CPC 3 (R2)/IAS 7 and CPC 40 (R1)/IFRS 7, assessed that the economic substance of the transaction is operational, considering that receiving in advance is an exclusive decision of the supplier and, for the Company, there are no changes in the original term negotiated with the supplier, nor changes in the originally contracted amounts. These transactions aim at facilitating the cash flow of its suppliers without the Company having to advancing payments. Management evaluated the potential effects of adjusting these operations to present value and concluded that the effects are immaterial for measurement and disclosure.  
                                                   
  These balances are classified as "Trade payables - Agreements" and the cash flow from these operations is presented as operating in the statement of cash flows.  
                                                   
  Additionally, there is no exposure to any financial institution individually related to these operations and these liabilities are not considered net debt and do not have restrictive covenants (financial or non-financial). In these transactions, the Company earns income referring to the premium for referring suppliers to the operations of advance of receivables, recognized in the financial result, note 23 in the line "Revenue from anticipation of payables", in the amount of R$41 as of September 30, 2024 (R$26 as of September 30, 2023), representing 1.58% of the volume of anticipation transactions that occurred during 2024 (1.33% in period ended September 30, 2023).  
                                                   
  As of September 30, 2024, the balance payable related to these operations is R$932 (R$1,459 as of December 31, 2023).  
                                                   
  The transactions of trade payables and trade payables – agreement are similar and do not exceed the expiration date of 120 days as of September 30, 2024.

15.1 Considerations on risk factors that may affect the business of the Company
                                                   
15.1.1 Credit risk
                                                   
  • Cash and cash equivalents
                                                   
  In order to minimize the credit risk, the investment policies adopted establish investments in financial institutions approved by the Company’s Financial Committee, considering the monetary limits and evaluations of financial institutions, which are regularly updated.  
                                                   
  The Company's financial investments, according to the rating on the national scale of financial institutions, are of represented by 100%  brAAA.  
                                                   
  • Trade receivables
                                                   
  The credit risk related to trade receivables is minimized by the fact that a large part of installment sales are made with credit cards and ticket. These receivables may be advanced at any time, without right of recourse, with banks or credit card companies, for the purpose of providing working capital, generating the derecognition of the accounts receivable. In addition, the main acquirers used by the Company are related to first-tier financial institutions with low credit risk. Additionally, for trade receivables collected in installments, the Company monitors the risk for the granting of credit and for the periodic analysis of the expected credit loss balances.  
                                                   
  The Company also incurs counterparty risk related to derivative instruments. This risk is mitigated by carrying out transactions, according to policies approved by governance bodies.  
                                                   
  Except the balances related to credit cards and ticket, there are no receivables or sale to customers that are, individually, more than 5% of accounts receivable or revenues.  
                                                   
15.1.2 Interest rate risk
                                                   
  The Company obtains borrowings with major financial institutions to meet cash requirements for investments. Accordingly, the Company is mainly exposed to the risk of significant fluctuations in the interest rate, especially the rate related to derivative liabilities (foreign currency exposure hedge) and debts indexed to CDI. The balance of cash and cash equivalents, indexed to CDI, partially offsets the risk of fluctuations in the interest rates.  
                                                   
15.1.3 Foreign currency exchange rate risk
                                                   
  The fluctuations in the exchange rates may increase the balances of borrowings in foreign currency, and for this reason the Company uses derivative financial instruments, such as swaps, to mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk, converting the cost of debt into domestic currency and interest rates.  

 

 
 
                                                   
15.1.4 Capital risk management
                                                   
  The main objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that the Company maintains its credit rating and a well-balanced equity ratio, in order to support businesses and maximize shareholder value. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments considering the changes in the economic conditions.  
                                                   
  The capital structure is as follows:

15.1.5 Liquidity risk management
                                                   
  The Company manages liquidity risk through daily monitoring of cash flows and control of maturities of financial assets and liabilities.  
                                                   
  The table below summarizes the aging profile of the Company’s financial liabilities as of September 30, 2024.

  The information was prepared considering the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date the Company may be required to make the payment or be eligible to receive the payment. To the extent that interest rates are floating, the undiscounted amount is obtained based on interest rate curves for the period ended September 30, 2024. Therefore, certain balances presented do not agree with the balances presented in the balance sheets.

  Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts during the period ended September 30, 2024 are recorded as net financial results and the balance receivable at fair value is R$219 (balance receivable of R$266 as of December 31, 2023). The assets are recorded as “Derivative Financial Instruments” and the liabilities as “Borrowings  and Debentures”.  
                                                   
  The effects of the hedge at fair value through income for the period ended September 30, 2024, resulted in a loss of R$127 (loss of R$78 as of September 30, 2023), recorded under "cost of debt" and "mark-to-market (loss) gain", see note 23.

15.3 Sensitivity analysis of financial instruments
                                                   
  According to Management's assessment, the possible reasonable changes  scenario considered was, on the maturity date of each transaction, the  market curves (interest) of B3.  
                                                   
  To determine the possible relevant change in the relevant risk variable, Management considered the economic environment in which it operates. Therefore, in scenario  (I) there is no impact on the fair value of financial instruments and the weighted interest rate (CDI) was 12.12% per year. For scenarios (II) and (III), for the exclusive purpose of sensitivity analysis, Management considered a deterioration of 5% and 10%, respectively, in the risk variables, up to one year of the financial instruments, with the aim of demonstrating the sensitivity of the Company's results in an adverse scenario.  
                                                   
  In the case of derivative financial instruments (aiming at hedging the financial debt), the variations of the scenarios are accompanied by the respective hedges, indicating that the effects are not significant.  
                                                   
  The Company disclosed the net exposure of the derivative financial instruments, the corresponding financial instruments and certain financial instruments in the sensitivity analysis table below, for each of the mentioned scenarios:

15.4 Fair value measurement
                                                   
  The Company discloses the fair value of financial instruments measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, the fair value of which differ from the carrying amounts, pursuant to CPC 46/IFRS 13, which address the concepts of measurement and disclosure requirements. The fair value hierarchy levels are defined below:  
                                                   
  Level 1: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities to which the entity may have access at the measurement date.  
                                                   
  Level 2: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using other significant observable assumptions for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, except quoted prices included in Level 1.  
                                                   
  Level 3: fair value measurement at the balance sheet date using non-observable data for the asset or liability.  
                                                   
  The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts.  
                                                   
  The table below sets forth the fair value hierarchy of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value and of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, all classified as level 2, for which the fair value has been disclosed in the interim financial information:  
                                                   
                    Carrying amount   Fair value

  There were no change between fair value measurement hierarchy levels during the period ended September 30, 2024.  

 

 
 

 

  Interest rate swaps, cross-currency, borrowings and debentures are classified in Level 2 since the fair value of such financial instruments was determined based on readily observable inputs, such as expected interest rate and current and future foreign exchange rate.

  Of the total amount of the table above, R$51 (R$50 as of December 31, 2023) is the responsibility of GPA arising from contingencies up to 2016, pursuant to contractual provisions, namely: R$4 tax claims, R$16 labor claims and R$31 civil claims (R$3 tax claims, R$27 labor claims and R$20 civil claims as of December 31, 2023).  
                                                   
16.1 Tax claims
                                                   
  Tax claims are subject by law to monthly monetary adjustment, which refers to an adjustment to the provision based on indexing rates adopted by each tax jurisdiction. Both interest charges and fines, where applicable, were calculated and provisioned with respect to unpaid amounts.  
                                                   
  The Company has other tax claims, which according to its legal counsel’s analysis, were provisioned, namely: (i) discussions on the non-application of the Accident Prevention Factor (FAP); (ii) IPI in the resale of imported products; and (iii) other matters.  
                                                   
  The amount provisioned for these matters as of September 30, 2024 is R$15 (R$62 as of December 31, 2023).  
                                                   
16.2 Social security and labor
                                                   
  The Company is a party to various labor proceedings, especially due to dismissals in the regular course of business. As of September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a provision of R$186 (R$163 as of December 31, 2023), referring to a potential risk of loss relating to labor claims. Management, with the assistance of its legal counsel, assesses these claims and records provisions for losses when reasonably estimated, considering previous experiences in relation to amounts claimed.  

 

 
 
16.3 Civil
                                                   
  The Company is a party to civil proceedings (indemnifications, collections, among others) that are in different procedural phases and at various courts. Management records provisions in amounts considered sufficient to cover unfavorable court decisions when its internal and external legal counsel assess the losses to be probable.  
                                                   
  Among these proceedings, we highlight the following:  
                                                   
  The Company is a party to various lawsuits requesting the renewal of rental agreements and the review of the current rent paid. The Company records a provision for the difference between the monthly rental amounts originally paid by stores and the rental amounts calculated by the legal experts considering that it is the expert report amount that will be used as the basis for the decision that will change the rental amount paid by the Company. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of the provision for these lawsuits is R$43 (R$32 as of December 31, 2023), for which there are no restricted deposits for legal proceedings.  
                                                   
  The Company is a party to certain lawsuits relating to the fines applied by inspection bodies of direct and indirect administration of the federal government, states, and municipalities, including consumer defense bodies (PROCONs, INMETRO, and local governments). The Company, with the assistance of its legal counsel, assesses these claims recording provisions for probable cash disbursements according to the estimate of loss. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of provision for these lawsuits is R$7 (R$6 as of December 31, 2023).  
                                                   
  The Company’s total civil, regulatory and property claims as of September 30, 2024, is R$50 (R$38 as of December 31, 2023).  
                                                   
16.4 Contingent liabilities not accrued
                                                   
  The Company is a party to other litigations for which the risk of loss was classified by its legal counsel to be possible, therefore, not accrued, to the following subjects:  
                                                   
                                    9/30/2024   12/31/2023  
                                                   
  Tax on Financial Transactions (IOF) – payment differences.     14     14  
  PIS, COFINS – payment discrepancies and overpayments, fine for non-compliance with ancillary obligations, disallowance of PIS and COFINS credits, among other matters pending judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.   995   783  
  ICMS – allocation of credits from purchases from suppliers considered unqualified by the registry of the State Revenue Service, among other matters, which are pending judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.   1,124   1,216  
  ISS (services tax), IPTU (urban property tax), Fees and other – discrepancies in payments of IPTU, fines for non-compliance with ancillary obligations, ISS – refund of advertising expenses and various fees, which are pending judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.     22     18  
  INSS (national institute of social security) – divergences in the FGTS and Social Security form (GFIP), offsets not approved, among other matters, which are pending judgment at the administrative and judicial levels.     25     24  
  Other litigation – real estate lawsuits in which the Company claims the renewal and maintenance of lease agreements according to market prices. These lawsuits involve proceedings in civil court, as well as administrative proceedings filed by inspection bodies, among others.     59     98  
  Compensation linked to the external legal counsel's success fee if all the proceedings were concluded in favor of the Company.     28     20  
                                    2,267   2,173  
                                                   
  Of the total amount in the table above, R$1,120 (R$1,494 as of December 31, 2023) is the responsibility of GPA arising from contingencies up to 2016, pursuant to contractual provisions, namely: R$1,062 tax claims and R$58 civil claims (R$1,398 tax claims and R$96 civil claims as of December 31, 2023).  
                                                   
  Three collective proceedings were filed by institutions related to black people's movements due to an approach to a customer, in August 2021 at the store in Limeira - SP, which claim supposed racial issues. All were duly answered. One of them has already been extinguished by the judiciary without major effects. As of September 30, 2024, there are still two lawsuits in progress and, given the subjectivity of the matter, it is still not possible to reasonably estimate the amounts involved. A significant impact is not expected, upon completion the lawsuits on the Company's financial statements.  
                                                   
16.4.1 Uncertainty over IRPJ and CSLL treatments
                                                   
  In compliance with ICPC 22/IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatment, the Company has proceedings, at the judicial and administrative levels, with Government's regulatory agencies, which are related to uncertain tax treatments adopted for the recording of income tax and social contribution. Based on the assessment of internal and external legal counsel, the tax treatment adopted by the Company is adequate, therefore, these proceedings were classified as possible losses. As of September 30, 2024, the amount involved was R$943 (R$917 as of December 31, 2023).  
                                                   
  Of the total amount above, R$276 is the responsibility of GPA arising from contingencies up to 2016, pursuant to contractual provisions (R$337 as of December 31, 2023).

19.3.4 “Sócio Executivo” program
                                                   
  At the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting held on April 26, 2024, the shareholders approved the Company's “Sócio Executivo” Program, intended to create a unique and extraordinary long-term program, which is not to be confused with the standard Long-Term Incentive, composed of a single grant of share rights to the Chief Executive Officer, the Commercial and Logistics Vice President, and the Operations Vice President (“Participants”), in a substantial amount and contingent on the Participants staying at the company and their achievement of certain performance targets, aiming at: (i) the long-term retention of the Participants; and (ii) the strengthening of  the sense of ownership in the Participants, transforming key officers into relevant, long-term shareholders.  

 
 

 

                                                   
  Through the “Sócio Executivo” Program, on May 1, 2024 the Company granted to Participants the right to receive up to 27,041,800 Company shares, corresponding to up to 2% of the total number of Company shares on the date of approval of the “Sócio Executivo”  Program, subject to the adjustments provided for in the Program, as follows:  
                                                   
  i) 0.40% will consist of restricted shares, the right to which will only be acquired if the Participants remain as Officers of the Company, as follows: i) 30% on the first vesting date (5 years from granted date) and 70% on the second vesting date (7 years from granted date); and  
                                                   
  ii) up to 1.60% will consist of shares with performance assumptions, the right to which will only be acquired if the following conditions are cumulatively met: i) the Participants remain as Officers of the Company until the second vesting date; and ii) the performance targets are achieved on the second vesting date, determined and calculated in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below.  
                                                   
  Shares with performance assumptions  
                                                   
    • The final number of shares with performance assumptions to which the Participants will be entitled will depend on the degree of achievement of the Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) target, according to the increase in the accumulated Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) of the EPS during the calculation period, based on the achievement curve.  
                                                   
    • The EPS target achievement curve will begin at the minimum trigger corresponding to an accumulated EPS equal to or greater than IPCA (Extended Consumer Price Index) + 20% per year Starting from the minimum trigger of IPCA + 20% per year, the percentage of the total number of Company shares to which the Participants will be entitled will increase proportionally to the increase in the accumulated CAGR of the EPS up to the limit of 1.60% of the total number of Company shares. If the minimum trigger of the EPS target curve is not reached, it will be considered that the condition of performance was not reached.  
                                                   
    • The achievement curve of the EPS accumulated performance target will be calculated considering the period between December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2030, except in the following cases in which the proportional period will be considered, as provided for in the Program: Involuntary Termination between the First and the Second Vesting Date; Disposal of Control and Relevant Acquisition; and Delisting and Withdrawal from Novo Mercado. The Financial Committee, the Audit Committee and the People, Culture and Remuneration Committee will calculate and verify the compliance with the performance targets.  
                                                   
    • The shares (both the restricted shares and the shares with performance assumptions) will be transferred to the Participants through the delivery of shares held in treasury by the Company.  
                                                   
  Additional shares  
                                                   
    •  The Participants will be entitled to receive the value per share of dividends, interest on equity or other amounts paid by the Company to its shareholders between the grant date and the date of receipt of these shares, which will be paid in shares (“additional shares”). The calculation of the additional shares will be made by multiplying the value per share distributed as earnings by the number of shares to which the Participants will be entitled to receive, on each payment date of the earnings, divided by the share price at the end of the trading session on B3 on the day immediately preceding the date on which the Company shares started being traded ex-dividends.  
                                                   
    •  The additional shares will be added to the target number granted (whether of restricted shares or shares with performance assumptions) and will be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions and will be transferred to the Participants under the same terms and conditions upon compliance with the applicable conditions.  
                                                   
  All shares received by the Participants under the “Sócio Executivo” Program will be subject to a lock-up of three years from the date of receipt of the shares, unless otherwise provided for by the Board of Directors in cases of termination of the Participants.  
                                                   
  The fair value of each share granted was measured based on the share price on the granted date, reduced by the estimated discount due to the transfer restriction after the vesting period. The Company has determined the estimated number of shares that will be considered the right of the Participants in relation to the variable portion of the plan based on the result projections in line with the business assumptions and that at the end of each period the estimate will be adjusted according to these projections.  
                                                   
  17,411,612 shares were granted, with a fair value of R$11.35.   
                                                   
  As of September 30, 2024, the amount recognized in the statement of operations for the period was R$15 (there is no amount recorded as of September 30, 2023) and the fair value of the total this plan in that date was R$243, including charges.  
                                                   
19.3.5 Long-term incentive plan through grant of the right to receive Company shares
                                                   
  At the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Meeting held on April 26, 2024, the shareholders approved the Long-Term Incentive Plan (“ILP”), intended to grant restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions to statutory and non-statutory directors of the Company (“Participants”), as well as to any other employees who are selected to participate in the plan.  
                                                   
  By granting the right to receive Company shares to the Participants, the ILP Plan aims at: (i) aligning the interests of the Participants with the interests of the Company's shareholders; (ii) encouraging the Participants to stay at the Company or at the companies under its control; and (iii) maximizing the results and generating sustainable value for the Company and its shareholders.  

 

 
 

 

                                                   
  The grants under the ILP Plan will be made in the following proportion: (i) 30% of the right granted will consist of restricted shares, and the transfer of the shares to the Participants will occur only upon compliance with a single vesting period of 3 years (except for the grant to the Chief Executive Officer, which will have a vesting period of up to 5 years, with partial vesting of 33% in the 3rd year, 33% in the 4th year and 34% in the 5th year); and (ii) 70% of the right granted will consist of shares with performance assumptions, and the transfer of the shares to the Participants will occur only upon compliance with a single vesting period of 3 years (5 years for the Chief Executive Officer) contingent on the achievement of the performance targets established by the Board of Directors, and the final number of shares with performance assumptions to which the Participants will be entitled will depend on the degree of achievement of these targets at the end of the single vesting period of 3 years (5 years for the Chief Executive Officer), and may vary from 90% to 110% of the target number of shares (and the target number of shares will assume the achievement of 100% of the targets, except for the Chief Executive Officer).  
                                                   
    Shares with performance assumptions  
                                                   
    Regarding the grant of shares with performance assumptions, the indicators will be defined considering the following main objectives:
 
 
                                                   
    •  preserve the Company's relevance and positioning in relation to its peers in the cash & carry sector;  
                                                   
    •  ensure the generation of sustainable business value;  
                                                   
    •  guarantee the profitability of the Company's business in the long term; and  
                                                   
    •  ensure an adequate level of profitability of operations, preserving healthy profit margin levels in relation to the Company's history.  
                                                   
  The number of restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions granted will be determined based on: (i) a salary multiple, according to the grade occupied by the Participant; and (ii) the average share price in the 20 trading sessions prior to the grant.
 
                                                   
  The shares (both restricted shares and shares with performance assumptions) will be transferred to the Participants upon compliance with the conditions described in the plan, and the transfer of shares will be made through the delivery of shares held in treasury by the Company.  
                                                   
  Through the ILP Plan, the Company will grant to the Participants the right to receive a certain number of shares corresponding to up to 1.5% of the total number of Company shares on the date of approval of the respective plan, subject to the specified adjustments.  
                                                   
  The fair value of each share granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes pricing model, considering the following assumptions:  
                                                   
  i)  Approximate volatility expectation: 37.32% in the 3rd year, 36.94% for the 4th year and 38.27% in the 5th year; and  
                                                   
  ii)  Dividend expectation: 0.77% in the 3rd, 4th and 5th year.  
                                                   
  The Company determined the estimated number of shares that will be considered the right of Participants in relation to the variable portion of the plan based on projections of results aligned with business assumptions and that at each end of the period the estimate will be adjusted according to these projections.  
                                                   
  1,094,759 shares were granted, with a fair value of R$11.90 for the 3rd year, R$11.81 for the 4th year, and R$11.72 for the 5th year.   
                                                   
  As of September 30, 2024, the amount recognized in the statement of operations for the period was R$1 (there is no amount recorded as of September 30, 2023) and the fair value of the total this plan in that date was R$16, including charges.  
                                                   
19.4 Buy-back program of shares
                                                   
  On June 25, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the first buy-back program of shares issued by the Company. The program aims to acquire, within 12 months as of the date here of, up to 3,800,000 common shares, representing 0.28% of the free float on this date, to be kept in treasury for subsequent delivery to the participants of the "Sócio Executivo" Program, see note 19.3.4 and of the Long-Term Incentive Plan through Grant of the Right to Receive Company Shares, see note 19.3.5. The shares will be acquired through the stock market at market price.  
                                                   
  Until November 7, 2024, date of issue of this interim financial information, the Company repurchased shares in the amount of R$14, representing 2,075,600 ordinary shares.
