1) 1) 1) 1) SALES PERFORMANCESALES PERFORMANCESALES PERFORMANCESALES PERFORMANCE

Cia Hering’s good sales performance in the previous quarters has continued in 3Q10 with two-digit growth in all channels and in all four brands. The highlight of the period was the Hering brand performance, which registered a growth in sales in the store chain and in multibrand retail.

Hering BrandHering BrandHering BrandHering Brand

The 37.9% growth registered in 3Q10 was impacted, in the Hering Store chain, by the addition of 11 stores in relation to 2Q10 (+45 stores as compared with 3Q09) and by the 33.6% growth in the same-store concept in relation to the same period of the previous year; and, in multibrand retail, by the rising numbers of clients, as well as in sales to same-clients.

The results posted by the Hering brand in 3Q10 were also enhanced by the launch of the midseason and summer collections in the stores; by advertising and marketing through the Fathers’ Day and Jeans Campaign, both aimed at the “I am, I wear Hering since always” concept; and by the continuity of the brand strategy to offer more accessible fashion, high quality basic products and constant novelties.

Hering Kids BrandHering Kids BrandHering Kids BrandHering Kids Brand

The Hering Kids brand registered an increment of 35.8% in 3Q10, ending the period with a 7.4% share of the Company’s total sales. The sales performance of multibrand clients (+38.6%) was the main highlight of this quarter.

The performance of the Hering Kids brand will be commented on separately from the Hering brand as of 3Q10. This will make it easier to evaluate the performance of the brand in its three business channels (store chain, multibrand retail and webstore), as well as analyze the impact of brand repositioning actions after the launch of the High Summer collection in the 4Q10.

In 3Q10, the sales of the Hering Store chain increased 51.7% in relation to the same period of 2009 due to the 16.6% growth in the sales area and, mainly, to the 33.6% increase in sales under the same-store concept.

The significant performance of same-store sales was due to an increase in client traffic in the stores (+45.7% in number of tickets) and by the greater volume of units sold (+43.6%) in relation to 3Q09. This result was also reinforced by the launch of the midseason and summer collections, which introduced novelties to the clients, and by the Fathers’ Day and Jeans marketing campaigns, which boosted sales.

The number of Hering Store cards totaled 126.2 thousand units in the quarter, a growth of 44.2% as compared with 2Q10, mainly due to the expansion of the membership base. Marketing campaigns targeted at the cards were also promoted and registered positive results that incremented the average ticket at the stores of the chain.

EBITDA and EBITDA MarginEBITDA and EBITDA MarginEBITDA and EBITDA MarginEBITDA and EBITDA Margin

The significant results reached in 3Q10 in relation to EBITDA (R$ 57.7 million with a growth of 50.0%) and the EBITDA margin (24.5% with an increment of 2.6 percentage points) derived mainly from the following factors:

• Increase of 36.3% in gross revenue from sales;

• Increment in Adjustment to Present Value (AVP in Portuguese) with negative effect in EBITDA margin of 0.3 p.p.;

• Sales growth in industrial plants that have tax incentives;

• Increase of Indirect Cost of Products Sold in view of increment of productive capacity to support an increase in sales in subsequent quarters;

• Operating expenses in 3Q10, which were negatively impacted by the following non-recurring factors: i) general and administrative expenses (R$ 1.8 million) in view of donations, celebrations for 130-year anniversary of Company and sponsorships; and ii) other operating expenses, totaling R$ 3.1 million, of which R$ 2.4 million refer to the installment plan of recognized taxes. In addition, operating expenses were also positively impacted by non-recurring factors such as: i) variable sales expenses, totaling R$ 3.0 million as a result of the reversal for the allowance for doubtful debtors due to a drop in delinquency; and ii) by the reversal, of R$ 1.5 million, for the allowance of the profit-sharing program referring to 1H10.

Even though the Hering brand and Hering Store chain continue to be the main drivers of growth, the Company will also continue to explore the potential of the Hering Kids, PUC and dzarm. brands, as well as develop new platforms for growth. With this in mind, the results of a study conducted by Cia. Hering, which analyzed the behavior of the children’s market in Brazil and that identified opportunities for growth to be explored by the Hering Kids and PUC brands, was released in August 2010.

The first results of the strategy for the Hering Kids and PUC brands, which foresees adjustments in the assortment of products and price ranges, backed by investments in the marketing campaigns for both brands, will be perceived after the launch of the High Summer collection as of 4Q10. In line with this project, two pilot store projects will be opened in 4Q10, one of which will be exclusively under the Hering Kids brand and the other will have a sales corner for the PUC brand. In addition, another two pilot stores will be opened in 1Q11 within the same standard (one exclusive and the other with the PUC corner).

For the dzarm. brand, the Company has positive prospects and plans to open an exclusive pilot store of the brand in 4Q10.

In the e-commerce operation, considering the good results already achieved, the company will reevaluate the online business format in order to enhance the potential of this channel.

The Company will continue to grow sustainably, with cost control, strict risk management, attention to market fluctuations and business opportunities. In order to boost efficiency, the strategy adopted will be to produce more with the same amount of funds, without affecting product quality and the services offered to clients.
