Brazil’s largest retailer CBD has posted an increase in full-year sales, boosted by marketing campaigns at its Extra chain and Christmas promotions.


Net sales for the period climbed 28.8% to BRL23.23bn (US$13.16bn). Excluding Ponto Frio’s operations, net sales moved up by 15.2%.


Real same-store sales grew by 4.1%, versus the annual target of 2.5%.


Grupo Pao de Acucar, as the company is formally known, said two factors were chiefly responsible for the “excellent” sales performance – Extra’s anniversary campaign, which began in November, and a number of Christmas campaigns in all the formats.


As a result, visitor numbers in all group stores increased during this period, the firm said.
