GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS We are presenting the performance comments relative to the first quarter of 2010 of the Parent Company (Lojas Americanas) and the consolidated operations (Lojas Americanas, subsidiaries and jointly-controlled company). It should be noted that in 2010 the Easter event occurred on April 4, whereas in the previous year it occurred one week later, on April 12. Therefore, the sales related to this important event had a bigger impact in 1Q10 when compared to the same period of 2009. In the first quarter of 2010 we inaugurated 3 new stores, one in the state of Ceará, another one in the state of Rio de Janeiro and our first store in the state of Tocantins. Besides the stores that were inaugurated through the end of the first quarter, we have opened another 3 stores, we have 22 additional openings scheduled, and we have another 25 contracts for store openings in 2010 under preparation. The Company continues its operational strategy of preservation of cash and the beginning of 2010, as was the year of 2009, was characterized by a better combination between the growth of sales, profitability, working capital and the Company’s capital structure.

It is important to mention, for analysis of the Company’s margins as a percentage of net revenue (NR), 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 185 stores. The ST, which changes the way the ICMS is collected for some product segments, registers the tax as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) rather than as a tax on sales.

Consolidated Gross Revenues of R$ 2.391 billion in 1Q10

12.7% growth of “same stores” Net Revenues in the Jan-Apr’10 period vs. ’09

OPERATING PERFORMANCE Gross Revenues

In the first quarter of 2010 (1Q10), the Company’s consolidated gross revenues totaled R$ 2.391 billion, representing an increase of 21.5% compared to the same period of 2009 (1Q09). From the Parent Company’s point of view, gross revenues for 1Q10 totaled R$ 1.378 billion, compared to the R$ 1.121 billion registered in 1Q09, the equivalent to growth of 22.9%. It is important to note that there is a mismatch in the Company’s sales, in view of the Easter event in 2010, which had a bigger impact in the first quarter when compared to the same period of 2009.

Consolidated Gross Revenues per Associate

In 1Q10, consolidated gross revenues per Associate was R$ 150,000, an increase of 16% compared to 1Q09.

Net Revenues

In 1Q10, Lojas Americanas’ consolidated net revenues totaled R$ 2.083 billion, compared to the R$ 1.585 billion registered in 1Q09. The Parent Company’s net revenues in 1Q10 totaled R$ 1,164.2 million, compared to the R$ 909.5 million registered in 1Q09. In order to eliminate the effect of the Easter event, we are exceptionally reporting growth of net revenues in the “same stores” concept (excluding new stores opened less than one year ago) for the four-month period comprising January to April. During this period, growth was 12.7% compared to the first four months of 2009. Gross Profit

The consolidated gross profit for 1Q10 totaled R$ 634.9 million. The consolidated gross margin in 1Q10 was 30.5% of net revenues (NR), compared to the 33.8% margin registered in 1Q09. The Parent Company’s gross margin in 1Q10 was 29.0% of NR, versus gross margin of 31.1% in 1Q09.

5 / 22

This decline in part was due to the Easter event mismatch, which in 2010 had a bigger impact in the first quarter when compared to 2009. At the beginning of 2010, as well as during 2009, new categories were introduced into the tax substitution regime, mainly in the state of São Paulo, which affects the gross margin because under the tax substitution regime, the ICMS tax incurs on the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and no longer on tax on sales.

In 1Q10, the consolidated operating expenses (with selling and general/administrative expenses) totaled R$ 397.1 million, or 19.1% of net revenues (NR), compared to R$ 350.1 million, or 22.1% of NR in 1Q09. It must be taken into consideration in this analysis the opening of 13 stores over the past four quarters; the evolution of sales through our e-commerce operations, which grew 16% in the first quarter of 2010; and Financeira Americanas Itaú, which grew its receivables portfolio by 56%, reaching a level of R$ 827 million (50% consolidated in Lojas Americanas). From the Parent Company point of view, the operating expenses (with selling and general/administrative expenses) in 1Q10 totaled R$ 200.7 million, or 17.2% of NR, compared to R$ 179.8 million, or 19.8% of NR in 1Q09.

1) EBITDA – Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and excluding other operating revenues/expenses – is presented as additional information because we believe it represents an important indicator of our operating performance, as well as being useful for the purpose of comparison of our performance with that of other retail sector companies. However, no number should be considered by itself as a substitute for net income calculated according to Brazilian Corporate Law and the rules of the Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (CVM) or, furthermore, as a measure of the profitability of the Company. Moreover, our calculations may not be compatible with similar measures adopted by other companies. Sales by Means of Payment

The sales by means of payment from the first quarters of 2010 and 2009 are shown in the following table:

Days of net working capital: (days of inventories – days of suppliers + days of accounts receivables) It is worthy mentioning the Easter event mismatch in the analysis of working capital (1Q10 vs. 1Q09). Financial Result

In 1Q10, net financial expenses totaled R$ 118.7 million, from the consolidated viewpoint. For the same quarter of the previous year, the same indicator was R$ 128.2 million. From the Parent Company viewpoint, the net financial expenses in 1Q10 totaled R$ 66.4 million against R$ 79.2 million in 1Q09. It is important to emphasize that for better evaluation of the Parent Company’s net financial income we must consolidate the financial revenues and expenses of the non-operating subsidiaries (Klanil, Louise, BWU and others). Thus, in the following table we present a view of the financial income with the aforementioned effects.

VariationRestatement

The net financial expenses of the Parent Company in the first quarter of 2010, taking into account the aforementioned effects and before B2W, totaled R$ 56.4 million, presenting a reduction of 19.7%. 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 worth mentioning that the Company’s cash is invested with Brazil’s largest financial institutions.

* CDI – Interbank Deposit Certificate: average rate of funding through the interbank market. Net Income and Earnings per Share Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2010 totaled R$ 48.7 million, compared to R$ 9.1 million reported for the same period of 2009. The parent income net income in 1Q10 was R$ 43.0 million, compared to the result of R$ 2.3 million, registered in 1Q09. It is important to emphasize that in 1Q10, net income per outstanding share (excluding shares in treasury), was R$ 0.06712, significantly higher than the amount presented the previous year, of R$ 0.01205. The parent company net income per share in circulation (excluding shares in treasury), was R$ 0.05917, significantly higher than the R$ 0.00316 presented in the previous year.

Lojas Americanas (Parent Company)Restatement

INDEBTEDNESS Lojas Americanas uses its cash flow to prioritize its investments that generate the best returns for shareholders. Thus, we have listed below the main actions carried out in the April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010 period: • Investments made by Lojas Americanas and B2W in property and intangible

assets (development of websites and systems) in the amount of R$ 236.1 million;• Payment of dividends in the amount of R$ 68.8 million, of which R$ 38.4 million

If we deduct the cash position of R$ 2,581.2 million (cash + money market investments + accounts receivable from credit and debit cards + 50% of FAI’s consumer financing) from total loans, we arrive at a net debt position of R$ 1,186.2 million.

Capital expenditures from the Parent Company’s viewpoint totaled R$ 14.6 million in 1Q10, focused on the opening and refurbishment of stores. Opening of 6 stores as of today – 4 in the Traditional model and 2 in the Express model.

In order to face the uncertainties and volatility of the financial market, Lojas Americanas is guided by the principle of preserving cash and extending its debt profile. During 2009 and the beginning of 2010, a number of measures were taken with this objective in mind, permitting us to consolidate the Company’s growth plan over the long-term. As can be seen in the previous table, gross consolidated short-term debt declined by R$ 867.5 million from March 31, 2009 to the same period of 2010. In counterpart, the long-term debt rose R$ 787.3 million. In the same period, there was a reduction of R$ 80.2 million in the gross debt and an improvement of the average debt maturity from 575 days to 717 days (from 19 to 23 months), extending the average maturity by 24.7%. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND EXPANSION Parent Company Investments Lojas Americanas, from the Parent Company’s viewpoint, invested through 1Q10 a total of R$ 14.6 million, with emphasis on: expansion and refurbishment of the store network and technological upgrade. Included in this total our investments in goods for rental in the amount of R$ 3.4 million. The following table shows the details of Lojas Americanas’ Parent Company investments in 1Q10:

Expansion of the Chain of Stores

We intend to create value for our shareholders, following our internal motto “We Always Want More”. The Lojas Americanas’ expansion project takes place on three main fronts: Lojas Americanas (brick-and-mortar retail), B2W (Internet, telephone sales, catalogues, TV and kiosks) and Financeira Americanas Itaú (financial products). In the past nine years, Lojas Americanas increased its network five times through its organic expansion program and the acquisition of BWU, the company that owned the ca BLOCKBUSTER® trademark in Brazil. In 2010, until today, in step with our “SEMPRE MAIS BRASIL” program, we inaugurated 6 new stores and decided to transfer three BLOCKBUSTER® stores to Lojas Americanas. Besides the stores that were opened, we have another 22 openings scheduled and another 25 contracts for store openings in 2010 under preparation.

Expansion Plan for the next four years – “SEMPRE MAIS BRASIL” For the next four years (period between 2010 and 2013), we are planning to open 400 new stores in Brazil. Currently, all of the Company’s stores are located in only 153 of the more than 5,500 cities in the country, which demonstrates the opportunity Lojas Americanas has for opening new stores in cities that are at a greater distance from Brazil’s large urban centers. As illustrated in the following chart, based on economic feasibility studies and analysis conducted internally using the EVA® (Economic Value Added) tool, together with socio-economic data (population, income, access to basic services, access to consumer goods, among others), we believe that at this moment the possibility exists that our brick-and-mortar retail stores could be present in another 200 cities, besides the ones in which we already have operations.

Moreover, in order to support the distribution of merchandise to the stores, we are preparing the opening of two new Distribution Centers, to be located in the Midwest and South regions. It is important to mention that the Company’s current cash position and the future cash generation, pegged to the elongation of the debt profile, let us in a comfortable position to make the expected investments, which should be approximately R$ 1.0 billion.

In 2006, a loan for approximately R$ 220 million was approved by the BNDES, earmarked for expansion, refurbishment and standardization of the store network along with technological modernization during the last three years. As we have done in the past, we are presenting a project to the BNDES for our expansion program for the 2010 – 2013 period, which we are calling “SEMPRE MAIS BRASIL.” Finally, we would like to reinforce that, “We will continue to pursue our learning path and to overcome obstacles, and this makes us enthusiastic since it will enable us to achieve new levels of results, always seeking to better meet our customer’s needs.”

Share of FAI cards (private label and co-branded) was 14% of the Parent Company’s sales at the close of March 2010. Financeira Americanas Itaú closed 1Q10 with about 2.6 million cards issued and R$ 827 million in receivables.

FINANCEIRA AMERICANAS ITAÚ - FAI Financeira Americanas Itaú (FAI) is dedicated to the financing of purchases via private label and co-branded (Visa and Mastercard) credit cards, the supply of personal credit and other financial products and services (insurance and extended guarantees). It operates through points of sale in the Lojas Americanas stores, through the Internet (Americanas.com and Shoptime) and the Shoptime TV channel. During the second half of 2008, a new strategy was implemented for offering the private label and co-branded credit cards as being the best means of payment in Lojas Americanas stores and Internet operations, as well as slowing down the offer of personal loans. This new way of operating led to a need for investing in the client base (private label and co-branded cards), and in the first quarter of 2010, FAI already had issued about 2.6 million cards, of which 2.2 million were private label, 416,000 were co-branded and 40,000 were for personal loans. By the end of the first quarter of 2010, the share of FAI cards reached 14% of the Parent Company’s sales. The receivables portfolio in March 2010 was R$ 827 million, representing a 56% increase over March 2009. The mix of the current portfolio is composed of 6% personal loans and 94% credit cards, which in the same period of the previous year was 27% personal loans and 73% credit cards. This transformation helped to improve the portfolio’s losses index, which went from 8% to 6% between the two periods under analysis. Gross Financial Revenues added to Service Revenues in 1Q10 rose 102% compared to the same period the previous year. The current strategy of focusing on consumer products will be maintained and we will continue to offer private label cards and to “brand” the performed base, besides increasing sales through co-branded cards. Insurance and extended warranty sales will be intensified, both through the Internet as well as in our brick-and-mortar stores.
