CBD, which is known by the name of its flagship supermarket chain, Pao de Acucar, reported net profit of BRL52.1m (US$18.3m), compared with BRL36.2m a year earlier. The company posted net profit of BRL56.7m in the second quarter.

CBD said stronger negotiation efforts with suppliers, together with a move to sell more food products rather than non-food and higher sales of its own brand products, helped improve performance, reported Reuters.

The retailer’s net sales were BRL2.52bn, up 9.3% from a year earlier.
