CHILE FINANCIAL BUSINESS Financial Revenues Financial revenues from Tarjeta La Polar (TLP) reached, for the first quarter 2013, M$ 15,664, 2% higher than revenues in the same period last year. Although the amount of loans grew in 30%, compared with the same period of last year, the effect in the accrued interest increase and therefore thus the financial revenues, will only be shown during the year and not yet during this quarter. Between July and December 2011, the company was banned from issuing new cards. Only on December 6, 2011 the company was authorized to issue new cards, but subject to significant restrictions, such as prohibition of use in associated stores, maximum credit terms below standard, among others. In summary, a number of restrictions that made the TLP non-competitive in the industry. Finally, on December 17, 2012, the SBIF released the above-mentioned restrictions on new credit cards. From this date on, the company can offer to its new customers, the TLP with a new package of benefits and conditions, such as the use in associated stores and cash advances among others. The TLP is again a competitive card in the market.

Renegotiated

A major event in the stabilization of the credit business has been the growth in “normal” loans (decrease in renegotiated loans). Normal loans reached 83% of the total portfolio, much higher than the 66% of March 2012. This is driven by the company's strategy to reduce the percentage of renegotiated loans in the portfolio. The company has worked on improving the quality of information by segments of customers. We have also increased credit lines for clients with low risk. On the other hand, we have reduced the credit facilities for higher risk portfolios and we have implemented incentives to customers in early stages of overdue.

LOAN PORTFOLIO INDICATORS – PORTFOLIO BY AGING SEGMENTS

There is a decrease in the 91-180 day overdue segment compared with the same period of last year, reducing its weight in the total amount from 8% to 6%. It is important to remark the seasonal effect of December, were an increase of current customers can be observed. The latter is explained by the common payment behavior of customers, who free up their credit lines for holiday shopping.

The portfolio during the first quarter showed an increase in the higher overdue segment compared with December 2012. This behavior is common for this period of the year, with a slight impact in the total risk rate. Nevertheless, compared with the same period of last year, the risk rate showed a decrease, mainly due to the write-offs in the renegotiated portfolio and the better quality of the current book. As of March 31, 2013, the risk rate reached 12.3%, an amount that is considered a normal level, a 6 percentage point lower than March 2012. The decrease in the risk rate is due to a better management of credit lines, based on payment behavior and improved segmentation systems. In summary the implementation of the proper policies of credit and collection.

Note: Cost of goods sold of the financial segment during first quarter 2012, include non-recurring provision for a total amount of M$21,220 due to the agreement reached with SERNAC and Fundaci贸n Chile Ciudadano which was communicated to the market on May 23 2012. Also in 2012 and 2013, cost of goods sold of the financial segment include financial interests which are not consider in the EBITDA.

EBITDA for the first quarter 2013 was -3% of revenues, compared to -9% without non-recurring expenses during the same period of last year. This result is due mainly to the increase in sales and retail margin together with an important increase in the financial margin explained by the lower risk rate and less provisions during the year. Together with lower % of costs over revenues, improves the EBITDA over the same period of last year. The main costs reductions are related to salaries and severance. Although the level of expenses was similar, it represents a lower percentage of sales. Additionally, advisors expenses decrease in more than 60%, reducing its share as a % of sales. Analyzing both segments, EBITDA retail shows an important increase in EBITDA margin, reducing the gap to a positive level. On the other hand, the financial business, that for its nature is less seasonal, starts the first quarter with a positive result.

During first quarter 2013 EBITDA in Colombia reached to -40% of revenues. It is important to remark that during the first quarter, we began the remodeling of the most important store in terms of sales in Colombia, reducing first quarter sales. This result is also part of the ramp up stage of our Colombian project. The Colombia project has so far only a third of the stores considered in the investment plan presented by the new management. It becomes evident that it is necessary to increase the scale of the Colombian operation. As part of the CAPEX program for the year 2013, we expect tow store openings in the cities if Yopal and Palmira.
