Message from the CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Investors,

Tiendas 3B has delivered another strong quarter. Our Same Store Sales grew by 11.6% in the third quarter of 2024 versus the same period last year, significantly outpacing the growth in the overall Mexican hard discount grocery retail segment as reported by ANTAD (Asociación Nacional de Tiendas de Autoservicio y Departamentales). This performance highlights our continued success in providing customers what they want – high quality products at low prices in convenient locations, During the third quarter of 2024, we opened 131 net new stores, for a total of 346 new stores year-to-date, bringing our total store count to 2,634. Our expansion strategy continues to yield strong results, with new stores performing well across the board.

Overall, our revenues grew nearly 30% compared to the same period last year. Our EBITDA increased by 54%, with the higher margin driven by the dilution of operational expenses over a larger sales base.

As we move forward, we remain focused on our core principles: delivering value through a compelling offering, disciplined execution, and rapid store expansion. We are confident that these pillars will continue to drive sustainable growth and create value for our stakeholders.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

 

K. Anthony Hatoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Please see the explanation at the end of this release on how EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure, is calculated, and for other relevant definitions.

TOTAL Revenue

Total revenue for 3Q24 was Ps. 14,834 million, an increase of 29.8% compared to 3Q23. This increase was driven by higher revenues from stores operating for more than one year and revenues from net new stores opened in the last twelve months.

GROSS PROFIT and gross profit margin

Gross profit in 3Q24 reached Ps. 2,344 million, an increase of 29.7% compared to 3Q23. This increase was driven by higher sales growth. Gross margin was stable over the year, as we passed the benefits of our increased size on to our customers.

Expenses

Sales expenses refer mainly to the expenses of operating our stores, such as the wages of store employees and energy. In 3Q24, sales expenses reached Ps. 1,499 million, a 23.0% increase compared to 3Q23. This rise in sales expenses was driven by the additional new stores opened in the last twelve months, the headcount to operate them, and wage inflation affecting labor costs accumulated during the last twelve months. Despite higher expenses, the Company was able to reduce sales expenses as a percentage of total revenue as a result of operational leverage and increased efficiencies. Sales expenses decreased from 10.7% of total revenue in 3Q23 to 10.1% in 3Q24, a decline of 56 bps.

Administrative expenses refer to expenses not related to operating our stores, such as headquarters and regional office expenses. In 3Q24, administrative expenses were Ps. 494 million, a 32.1% increase compared to 3Q23. This was primarily due to: (i) higher personnel expenses driven by our expansion into three new regions (ii) the strengthening of our central HQ teams in IT, purchasing, real estate, human resources, and finance (iii) public company-related expenses, and (iv) recognition of share-based payment expenses. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses remained flat in 3Q24 compared to 3Q23.

Other income (expense) - net, which includes revenues from asset disposals, reimbursement of costs, and insurance proceeds, among others, amounted to income of Ps. 2 million in 3Q24, as compared to an expense of Ps. 3 million in 3Q23. As a percentage of total revenue, other income (expense) – net decreased by 4 bps.

EBITDA and EBITDA Margin

In 3Q24, EBITDA reached Ps. 688 million, an increase of 54.0% compared to 3Q23. This increase can be attributed to higher sales and lower sales expenses as a percentage of sales. EBITDA margin for 3Q24 increased by 73 bps to 4.6%.

Please see the last section of this release on how we calculate EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, which are non-IFRS financial measures.

To allow our investors to better assess our performance, we are providing the following information:

•

Non-cash share-based payment expense reached Ps. 126 million compared to Ps. 112 million recorded in 3Q23.

•

Building lease payments: The Company leases its stores and distribution centers. In accordance with IFRS 16, the Company’s leasing expenses are capitalized, and not considered operating expenses. Tiendas 3B’s capitalized lease costs payments for buildings were Ps. 357 million in 3Q24, compared to Ps. 272 million in 3Q23.

FINANCIAL COSTS and NET PROFIT

Financial income reached Ps. 48 million, representing an increase of over 100% compared to 3Q23. This growth was primarily driven by the interest generated from the investment of proceeds derived from our IPO, net of cash used to pay off promissory and convertible notes, and the Company’s other cash positions.

Financial costs decreased by 3.9% to Ps. 287 million, primarily due to the absence of interest expenses on promissory and convertible notes, which the Company fully paid in the first quarter of 2024 (“1Q24”). However, the decrease was partially offset by higher interest expenses related to lease liabilities, mainly due to the expansion of our store network.

Exchange rate fluctuation resulted in a gain of Ps. 210 million in 3Q24, primarily due to the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, which positively impacted the value in Mexican pesos of our U.S. dollar cash position from the IPO proceeds.

Income tax expense reached Ps. 66 million in 3Q24 compared to Ps. 113 million in 3Q23.

As a result, our net profit for 3Q24 was Ps. 258 million, compared to a net loss of Ps. 339 million for 3Q23.

balance sheet and liquidity

As of September 30, 2024, the Company reported cash and cash equivalents of Ps. 1,269 million, an increase from Ps. 1,220 million as of December 31, 2023, deployed mainly for working capital purposes. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, the Company held Ps. 2,964 million in U.S. dollar-denominated short-term bank deposits.

9M24 cASH fLOW sTATEMENT

(In Ps. Millions, except percentages)

 

	9M24	9M23	Growth (%)
Net cash flows provided by operating activities	Ps. 2,378	Ps. 1,943	22.4%
Net cash flows used in investing activities	(Ps. 4,172)	(Ps. 901)	n.m.
Net cash flows provided by (used in) financing activities	Ps. 1,748	(Ps.1,027)	n.m.
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	(Ps. 46)	Ps. 14	n.m.

 

Our business model continues to generate a significant amount of cash from our negative working capital cycle due to our increasing sales and high inventory turnover. This robust cash flow has enabled us to fund internally our growth initiatives, including the expansion of new stores and distribution centers.

The information provided below offers a view of our financial activities in the first nine months of 2024:

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased to Ps. 2,378 million in the first nine months of 2024 (“9M24”) from Ps. 1,943 million in the first nine months of 2023 ("9M23”), an increase of 22.4%. Our net working capital continues to be driven by a favorable ratio of Inventory Days to Payable Days.

Net cash flows used in investing activities were Ps. 4,172 million for 9M24, compared to Ps. 901 million in 9M23. This increase was primarily due to the allocation IPO proceeds in short-term U.S. dollar-denominated short-term bank deposits, which is reflected as an investment activity. In addition, spending on the purchasing of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E) reached Ps. 1,642 million, reflecting additional store openings compared to 9M23.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were Ps. 1,748 million in 9M24, compared to Ps. 1,027 million used in 9M23. This decrease is mainly attributed to higher lease payments due to the opening of new stores in the last twelve months, as well as, to a lesser extent, payment of other financial debts.

We measure “Same Store Sales” using revenue from sales of merchandise from stores that were operational for at least the full preceding 12 months for the periods under consideration. When calculating this measure, we exclude stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the periods in consideration. We measure Same Store Sales growth by comparing the Same Store Sales of stores that were open during the measurement period.

In 3Q24, we opened 131 net new stores, reaching a total of 2,634 stores. This represents a significant increase compared to the 92 net new stores opened in 3Q23, which brought the total number of stores to 2,135 stores by the end of that period. During 3Q24, the Company did not open any distribution centers.

Same Store Sales grew by 11.6% for 3Q24, compared to 15.4% for 3Q23. We maintain our leadership in Same Store Sales growth in the Mexican hard discount grocery retail market.

Non-IFRS Measures and Other Calculations

For the convenience of investors, this release presents certain non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with IFRS (“non-IFRS financial measures”). A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so excluded or included in the most comparable IFRS financial measure. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-IFRS financial measures are used by our management for decision-making purposes and to assess our financial and operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The non-IFRS financial measures presented herein have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations presented in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, our calculations of non-IFRS financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies, including our competitors, and therefore, our non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.

We calculate “EBITDA”, a non-IFRS measure, as net profit (loss) for the period, plus income tax expense, financial costs, net, and total depreciation and amortization.

We calculate “EBITDA Margin”, a non-IFRS measure, for a period by dividing EBITDA for the corresponding period by total revenue for such period.

Same Store Sales: We measure “Same Store Sales” using revenue from sales of merchandise at stores that were operational for at least the full preceding 12 months for the periods under consideration. Stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the relevant measurement periods are excluded from this metric. Same Store

Sales growth is calculated by comparing the Same Store Sales of stores that were opened and remained open throughout the relevant measurement period.

Lease Costs: Consistent with lease accounting required under IFRS 16, total depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation expense of right-of-use-asset corresponding to long-term leases, which is a non-cash expense. Such amounts, together with the interest expense on lease liabilities, is a proxy for but not equal to the Company’s actual cash expenditure incurred in connection with its leased properties.

Sales per Store: We define our “Sales per Store” as the average of the revenue from sales of merchandise achieved by our stores that were open for the full year in consideration. When calculating this measure, we exclude stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the period in consideration. This measure assists our management’s understanding of how store performance has evolved across different vintages. Sales per Store also serves as a benchmark to measure the performance of new stores and is useful to set growth and expansion targets.

Inventory Days: We calculate “Inventory Days” to be the average of beginning and end of period inventory balance, divided by cost of sales for the period and multiplied by the number of days during the period. Inventory Days measures the average number of days we keep inventory on hand before selling the product. This operating metric allows us to track our inventory management policies and observe how quickly we are able to rotate inventory, which is key to our cash conversion cycle.

Payable Days: We calculate “Payable Days” to be the sum of the average of beginning and end of period balance of suppliers and of accounts payable and accrued expenses, divided by cost of sales for the period and multiplied by the number of days during the period. Payable Days measures the average number of days that it takes us to pay suppliers after receiving goods or services. This metric allows us to track the terms of payment policies with suppliers and our ability to finance our operations through agreements with our suppliers.
