GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS We are presenting the comments on performance relative to the second quarter and first semester of 2009 of the Parent Company (Lojas Americanas) and the consolidated operations (Lojas Americanas, wholly-owned subsidiaries and jointly-owned company). It should be noted that the Easter Holiday, in 2009, took place on April 12 (second quarter), while in 2008 it occurred on March 23 (first quarter). Because of this mismatch, the analysis has been done for the accumulated results of the first semester. In the first semester of 2009 we inaugurated four new stores. Besides the stores that were inaugurated through the close of the first semester, we have six other openings scheduled and three contracts for store openings in 2009 under preparation. The Company continues an operating strategy of preservation of cash and the beginning of 2009 was characterized by a better combination of sales growth, profitability, working capital and the Company’s capital structure.

For analysis of the Company’s margins as a percentage of net revenue (NR), it is worth mentioning that the ICMS Tax Substitution Regime (ST) took effect in some Brazilian states, mainly in the state of São Paulo – where most of our suppliers are located and where we have 184 stores. The ST, which changes the way ICMS is collected for some product segments, registers the tax as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) rather than as a tax on sale. The accounting information shown in this report, except where indicated to the contrary, are consistent with the norms and standards of the Securities Exchange Commission (CVM) and in Reais (R$). For a better comparison between the periods, the Company made the appropriate adjustments in the financial statements, according to the standards of the Securities Exchange Commission – CVM and the statements of the CPC (Accounting Statements Committee) so that the results from this year and the previous year are suitable according to Law 11.638/07. Because of the mismatch of sales of the Easter Event, the analysis of the results has been prepared for the accumulated results of the first semester (1H09 and 1H08).

* EBITDA (Operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding other income and expenses) is presented as additional information because we believe it represents an important indicator of our performance, as well as being useful for the purpose of comparison of our performance with that of other companies in the retail sector. However, no number should be considered by itself as a substitute for the net income calculated according to Brazilian Company Law and the rules of the Securities Exchange Commission (CVM) or, in addition, as a measure of the profitability of the Company. Moreover, our calculations may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies.

Financial Income

For 1H09, net financial expenses were R$ 265.6 million from a consolidated view. In the first semester of the previous year, the same indicator was R$ 175.6 million. For the parent company, the net financial expenses in 1H09 were R$ 153.6 million and in 1H08, R$ 115.5 million. The net financial expenses of the company in 1H09 are influenced by the increase in its total cost of debt, due to the increase in the market spreads that more than offset the effect of the decline in average interest rates during the period. It is important to emphasize that for a better understanding of the Parent Company’s net financial income, the financial revenues and expenses of FAI and BWU must be considered. Therefore, in the following table we demonstrate the financial income of these effects.

Variationrestatement

The net financial expenses of the Parent Company in the first semester of 2009, taking into account the aforementioned effects and before B2W, totaled R$ 139.9 million and presented an increase of 38.0%. Over the past 12 months, we invested in the inauguration/refurbishment of our distribution centers, we paid out dividends, we bought back shares (LAME3 and LAME4) and we purchased B2W shares (BTOW3). The Company continues to reaffirm its commitment to a conservative cash investment policy, manifested through the utilization of hedge instruments, in foreign currencies, to offset eventual foreign exchange rate fluctuations, whether relative to financial liabilities or total cash position. These instruments offset the foreign exchange risk, transforming the cost of the debt to local currency and interest rates (as a percentage of the CDI*). Similarly, it is important to mention that the Company’s available cash is invested with Brazil’s largest financial institutions.

* CDI – Interbank Deposit Certificate: average rate of funding through the interbank market.

Net Income

Net income for the first semester of 2009 was R$ 7.2 million, compared to a loss of R$ 8.2 million recorded during the same period in 2008. The following table presents the main variations from EBITDA to net income, for the Parent Company: RECONCILIATION OF THE NET INCOMER$MM

assets (development of Web sites and systems) in the amount of R$ 398 million; • Payment of dividends and interests on own capital of R$ 30.4 million; • Share buy-backs (LAME3 and LAME4) totaling R$ 14.6 million; • Purchase of 527.1 thousand common shares of the B2W subsidiary (BTOW3) in the
