Results of Operations<br />

In accordance with Mexican FRS, Peso amounts presented below are expressed in nominal terms.<br />

As a result of the incorporation of FASA’s sales as of October <strong>20</strong>10, the Group’s overall sales have increased. In <strong>20</strong>11, the retail division posted gains versus its <strong>20</strong>10<br />

sales. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in the number of stores in Mexico and Chile as well as improvements in our efficiency at the store level.<br />

Year En<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 Compared to Year En<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10<br />

In September <strong>20</strong>10, the company acquired 97.8% of Farmacias Ahumada, S.A. (FASA), a chain of more than 1,260 pharmacies with operations in Chile, Mexico and<br />

Peru. Therefore, GCS consolidated figures for <strong>20</strong>10 incorporate three months figures of FASA. In <strong>20</strong>11 the company consolidated 12 months of FASA, thus, comparison for the full year<br />

are not comparable. The majority of the <strong>20</strong>11 figures are not comparable with those that were reported in previous years. The following chart <strong>de</strong>scribes the figures for GCS and FASA<br />

and the Consolidated net amount for <strong>20</strong>11:<br />

Consolidated<br />

Group FASA Net amount<br />

(Amounts in millions of Mexican pesos)<br />

Net sales Ps. 46,568.2 Ps. 19,139.8 Ps. 27,428.4<br />

Gross Profit 8,774.2 4,711.8 4,062.4<br />

Operating income 1,566.4 522.0 1,044.4<br />

Total Net Sales. <strong>Grupo</strong> <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong>’s total net sales amounted to Ps. 46,568.23 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11, an increase of 37.61% as compared to the<br />

same period of <strong>20</strong>10. The increase was primarily due to the addition of FASA’s sales. Excluding FASA, sales for GCS would have <strong>de</strong>creased 8.46%, due to lower sales to some<br />

supermarket chains, some regional and traditional clients, as well as lower sales from our publication division, Citem. This <strong>de</strong>crease is affected by the elimination of the sales from <strong>Casa</strong>s<br />

<strong>Saba</strong> to Benavi<strong>de</strong>s (a subsidiary of FASA) which during <strong>20</strong>11 accounted for $2,996.9 million and in <strong>20</strong>10 for $723.94 (please note that this figure only reflects sales from Oct - December).<br />

However, this <strong>de</strong>crease was partially offset by an increase of 26% in sales from our Government Pharma business division due to a higher participation in bidding processes.<br />

Sales by Division: Net Private Pharma Sales. Net sales from our Private Pharma business division went from Ps. 24,335.4 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10<br />

to Ps. 21,497.2 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11, a <strong>de</strong>crease of 11.7%, due to lower sales to some supermarket chains and some regional and traditional clients. This <strong>de</strong>crease<br />

was affected by the elimination of the sales from <strong>Casa</strong>s <strong>Saba</strong> to Benavi<strong>de</strong>s (a subsidiary of FASA), which during <strong>20</strong>11 accounted for $2,996.9 million and in <strong>20</strong>10 for $723.94 (please note<br />

that this figure only reflects sales from Oct - December). As a result, this division’s sales represented 46.2% of the Group’s total net sales.<br />

Net Government Pharma Sales. Net sales from our Government Pharma business division rose 26% with respect to <strong>20</strong>10, increasing from Ps. 959.3 million for the year<br />

en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10 to Ps. 1,<strong>20</strong>9.1 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11. The increase in sales reflects a higher participation in bidding processes during the period to<br />

various fe<strong>de</strong>ral and state government health institutions. Government Pharma sales represented 2.6% of the Group’s total net sales in <strong>20</strong>11.<br />

Net Health, Beauty, Consumer Goods, General Merchandise and Other Sales. Net sales from our Health, Beauty, Consumer Goods, General Merchandise and Other<br />

business division were Ps. 2,421.8 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 compared to Ps. 2,173.6 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10. This increase was mainly due to a<br />

higher <strong>de</strong>mand for these types of products in the different markets where we offer them. Net sales by this division represented 5.2% of our total <strong>20</strong>11 net sales.<br />

Net Publication Sales. Net sales from our Publications business division <strong>de</strong>creased 5.2% due to the we received fewer copies of some magazine titles from some of<br />

our publishers, as well as a reduction in the overall number of publications distributed. Sales went from Ps. 835.6 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10 to Ps. 792.6 million for the<br />

year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>11 and accounted for 1.7% of our total net sales.<br />
