Prior to <strong>20</strong>10, <strong>Grupo</strong> <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong> entered an expansionary stage as part of its strategy to increase the Company’s profitability. Since then, the Group has completed<br />

acquisitions in several South American countries, beginning in May <strong>20</strong>08 with the acquisition of the Brazilian pharmacy chain Drogasmil (currently known as <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong> Brasil). In<br />

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 Peru and, as a result,<br />

has reclassified its divisions in accordance with this strategy, creating a new division known as “Retail Pharmacy.” As a result, the majority of the <strong>20</strong>10 figures are not comparable with<br />

those that were reported in previous years. The impact of the acquisition in <strong>20</strong>10 was as follows:<br />

Consolidated<br />

Group FASA Net amount<br />

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

Net sales Ps. 33,840.8 Ps. 3,877.5 Ps. 29,963.2<br />

Gross Profit 3,538.0 989.8 2,548.2<br />

Operating income 601.4 73.2 528.2<br />

Total Net Sales. <strong>Grupo</strong> <strong>Casa</strong> <strong>Saba</strong>’s total net sales amounted to Ps. 33,840.8 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10, an increase of 13.59% as compared to the<br />

same period of <strong>20</strong>09. The increase was primarily due to the addition of the sales of FASA.<br />

Sales by Division: Net Private Pharma Sales. Net sales from our Private Pharma business division went from Ps. 22,377.4 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>09<br />

to Ps. 24,335.4 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10, an increase of 8.8%.<br />

Net Government Pharma Sales. Net sales from our Government Pharma business division increased during <strong>20</strong>10, from Ps. 906.1 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December<br />

31, <strong>20</strong>09 to Ps. 959.3 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10. The increase in sales reflects a higher participation in bidding processes during the period to the IMSS as well as<br />

various state government health institutions. As a result, this division’s sales represented 2.83% of the Group’s total net sales.<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. 2,530.44 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>09 compared to Ps. 2,173.6 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10. Net sales by this division<br />

represented 6.42% of our total net sales compared to 8.49% in <strong>20</strong>09.<br />

Net Publication Sales. Net sales from our Publications business division also posted strong gains, from Ps. 753.4 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>09 to Ps.<br />

835.5 million for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10 and accounted for 2.47% of our total net sales for the year en<strong>de</strong>d December 31, <strong>20</strong>10. This result was primarily due to the increase in<br />

sales in specialty title and collector’s item sales related to the World Cup sporting event.<br />

Retail Pharmacy Sales. This division was created as a result of the FASA acquisition given that, due to its size and scope, our retail pharmacy operations became<br />

much more significant than they were in previous years.<br />

Net sales from our Retail Pharmacy business division totaled Ps. 5,536.9 million in <strong>20</strong>10, an increase of 71.7% versus the Ps. 3,224.3 million in <strong>20</strong>09. The increase in<br />

sales was due to the acquisition of FASA.<br />
