DIGITAL CHANNELS
At the end of 4Q22, the Company exceeded the mark of 21 million active customers in its ecosystem, a 23% increase compared to
4Q21, and its customer base remains omnichannel: 53% of customers who purchased through digital means are also physical store
customers.

The penetration of this customer profile reached 15% of total sales in 4Q22, with emphasis on the strength of omnichannel customers,
who have a purchase frequency 2.4 times higher than other customers. Digital channels accounted for 9% of total sales, reflecting
the Company's strategy in which customers choose the channel they have the greatest affinity with at every moment of the purchase.
As a result, we recorded an operational improvement in the digital channels, which already showed a positive contribution margin in
4Q22.

Purchases originating from Riachuelo app accounted for 43% of online sales made during the quarter, following a high share, which
also contributes to greater purchase recurrence.

Complementing the Company's omnichannel strategy, the Marketplace reinforces the lifestyle concept based on fashion and
product curation, expanding categories and occasions of use for customers from 788 thousand offers from more than 380 sellers,
totaling 2.2 million SKUs available for sale.

At the end of 4Q22, the marketplace's share in digital channels increased to 17.4%. An analysis of consumers' profile shows that 82%
of our customers who bought in the marketplace had never purchased through this channel before and 42% of new customers in the
marketplace are also new to the ecosystem, thus demonstrating the success of the strategy. The penetration of Riachuelo card in
purchases made in the marketplace reached 46% in 4Q22, reinforcing the integration of the ecosystem.

FIDELITY & RELATIONSHIP


Xodó, the Riachuelo card loyalty program whose pilot phase
had its first stage launched in September 2022, reflects the
purpose of the Company to connect desires to
accomplishments. In order to strengthen the bond with its
clients, the Company now offers a series of benefits in
purchases, in addition to an exclusive relationship platform. All
this for free, with simple and attractive participation mechanics.

The highlighted advantages include the offer of cashback for


use in purchases in all physical and digital channels, as well as for
other expenses incurred using Riachuelo cards.

Due to the results presented, we will continue with a second


stage of tests throughout 2023. The invited customers
demonstrated, through a survey, good receptivity and
satisfaction with the experience of participating in the program.
From the consumption behavior stance, participants had a 32%
average increase in their frequency and 29% in spending within
Riachuelo, exceeding projected expectations.

The program will help us know about our customers' habits even
further, identify purchase propensity triggers, and scale more
personalized journeys.

Our CRM continues to evolve as a relationship and incentive


channel, resulting in increased recurrence of our customers. We
carried out more than a thousand campaigns per month, with
different approaches and segmentations through push, email,
SMS, call center and directly through the stores POS. With a
wide range of channels and offers, we are able to offer different
experiences to each of our customers.

In 2022, we implemented a new platform in the customer service area, which now is related to CRM Marketing, to generate more
personalized journeys and further strengthen our relationship with customers.

FINANCIAL SERVICES
Midway Financeira is an integrated financial products and services platform connected with retail, and is a fundamental part of our
ecosystem. With the offer of autonomy and facilities to the user, the Company started to have an ever-broader relationship with its
customers, going beyond the mere offer of card and personal loans at stores, by also offering products and services in digital
channels, with maximum integration with the retail sector. The omnichannel card-holding customer has a purchase frequency ~3
times higher than other customers.

At the end of 4Q22, the Midway app had 2.6 million open digital accounts. Of these, we have approximately 1 million customers with
monthly access to carry out activities such as transfer via PIX, payment of bank slips, debt renegotiation and cell phone recharges,
being an important channel for relationship, cross-selling and revenue generation.

GUARARAPES FACTORY
Guararapes produced 39.0 million pieces in 2022, earning R$1.8 billion for Riachuelo in that period. The share of own products reached
45% of the total apparel categories sales in 2022, which ensures agility, reactivity, in addition to better social and environmental control
of the chain.

INTEGRATED DISTRIBUTION AND LOGISTICS


Supply of stores and delivery to customers

As a result of the improvements made to our commercial systems and logistical processes, we had a reduction in store disruptions
based on a more assertive initial allocation according to store clustering, and a more efficient replacement, with a greater balance of
inventory assortments and volumes that are in the Distribution Centers - CD, which led to a reduction in the average supply period
for the stores.

We continue with our priority of making faster deliveries to our customers. As part of actions taken to improve the level of service
offered, we entered into partnerships with startups in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, with a focus on increasing efficiency in the last
mile and reducing the delivery time for the end customer.

Thus, the number of orders delivered on the next day across the country increased 86% in 4Q22 vs. 4Q21. The average delivery time
for orders shipped from CDs throughout Brazil reduced from 3.5 days to 2.9 days. Considering the city of São Paulo and the Southeast
region, the average delivery time was one day and two days in the same period, respectively.

In addition to deliveries, our "Store Pick-up" and "Quick Pick-up" solutions are available in 100% of the stores, with the Quick Pick-up
deadline of up to 4 hours, integrated with lockers for the "Click and Pick-up" functionality. In 4Q22, these solutions represented 25%
of digital channel sales, versus 18% in 4Q21.

Operating efficiency

Following our focus on gaining efficiency in digital channels, we presented a 10% reduction in the cost per delivery of orders shipped
by the store in 4Q22 vs. 4Q21. In addition, the average cost per total order decreased by 28% and the percentage of net freight cost
was down 3 p.p. vs. 4Q21.

As part of our goal of delivering end-to-end conscious fashion to our consumers, 30% to 40% of stores in São Paulo are already
supplied with an electric fleet. Additionally, 100% of the e-commerce deliveries that leave Guarulhos CD to the city of Guarulhos are
carried out with an electric fleet, in addition to other areas in the city of São Paulo.

Integrated mobility focused on the customer experience

The new stores are already born with a payment structure focused on self-checkout + mobile POS, in which self-checkout reaches
around 50%.

 Self-Checkout: implementation of self-service totems for 77 stores in December 2022, bringing a relevant operating
efficiency gain;

 Mobile POS: tool that enables completion of purchases outside traditional checkouts, providing greater agility,
convenience, and flexibility to consumers, reducing the number of fixed POSs and generating a more fluid journey for
customers. Available in 100% of stores.

Still on the omni journey, our e-store solution — an infinite shelf platform with online and offline stock 100% integrated with physical
stores – represents 9% of orders from digital channels in 4Q22. In 2022, we followed the maturation of this solution, where more than
300,000 orders were delivered to customers from the infinite shelf.

Movimento CRIA!

Sustainability is present in all of the Group's strategies and decision-making processes and the Movimento CRIA! permanently
translates the business model and how the Company conducts its activities, taking responsibility for its commitments to society and
the environment. For Riachuelo, choices and attitudes transform, revolutionize and create. CRIA! unifies sustainability practices for
an increasingly sustainable fashion path, from the search for raw materials and operations with less environmental impact, through
social initiatives that drive and transform communities, to monitoring and development of suppliers. With this initiative, the Group
seeks to join forces with society, listening to demands, responding with transparency and creating new ways of making fashion.

Guararapes joins the B3 Corporate Sustainability Index

For the 1st time, the Company was selected to integrate the 2023 portfolio of the B3 Corporate Sustainability Index ("ISE"). This
portfolio brings together 70 companies that stood out for their commitment to corporate sustainability.

Being part of the ISE portfolio demonstrates Guararapes' evolution and maturing in ESG matters, reinforcing the Company's focus on
creating a more sustainable fashion. This achievement reflects the Company's commitment to not only mitigate its negative impacts
on the planet, but also to go further: work to regenerate ecosystems and promote, economically and socially, communities in regions
where it operates.

In addition, it demonstrates the solid and fast way in which the Company has advanced in its sustainable actions. Because we
understand that the planet needs our action now and that the future we create together!

Riachuelo is the only Brazilian textile retail company to achieve leadership in water management at the CDP

Currently, only 1.2% of the Earth's water is available for human consumption, creating a serious problem for future generations and for
the planet. Responsible management of water use is a mission for Riachuelo, which has been joining efforts, with the support of
technology and innovation, to have less and less impact on the environment in its operations.

The most recent proof of this movement is that Riachuelo was the only Brazilian textile retail company to earn an A- score, reaching
the leadership level in the CDP Water Safety Program, an entity that operates a global disclosure system for investors, companies,
cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. CDP recognized both the way in which Riachuelo manages water
in its production processes and the transparent way in which it reports its information to the market.

Our actions to reduce water use include our more efficient processes and technologies, which significantly reduce water
consumption, such as ozone, laser and nebulization. These technologies allow us to reduce water use by up to 20 times.

In addition, this year Riachuelo received a B+ score in Climate Change from the CDP, registering progress in its commitment to
reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate Changes: we ended the year with a 30% reduction in our emissions

The voluntary commitment set by Riachuelo to reduce direct Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 30% in 2022, based on the year 2019,
was fulfilled with the purchase of International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-Recs), thus ensuring 100% traceability of energy
sources.

Commitment to Community: Donation of R$700,000 to AACD

In 4Q22, the Company was present on SBT's Teleton program supporting the Association for Assistance to Disabled Children
(AACD). Teleton is a television marathon with the aim of raising donations for the entity whose mission is to promote the rehabilitation
of people with disabilities. Our partnership with AACD goes back a long way and this year, we contributed more than R$700,000.
With the donation, we help the institution to maintain and expand its social work as well as to create and improve technological
rehabilitation centers throughout the national territory.

Circularity

Through the Innovation in Circularity + Sustainability HUB created by Riachuelo, we seek to find scaled solutions to a sensitive and
global issue in the fashion industry: closing the loop when it comes to textile recycling. With this initiative, the Company leads and
plays a leading role in conducting and gathering information, and innovative solutions related to the topic, connecting and integrating
different actors. With key partners searching together for effective solutions, already in the short and medium term, the Hub promises
to be the cradle of projects and new technologies that can be scalable. Therefore inspiring, engaging and inviting strategic players
who have the same interest as Riachuelo: to use the science and technology to reduce what is discarded in the environment and
promote a circular and healthy economy in the fashion industry in Brazil.

Sustainability of our products

Riachuelo went beyond the target set for 2022 with regard to the use of more sustainable raw materials and products. The target was
30% of more sustainable products and 30% of more sustainable raw materials. We ended 2022 with 35% more sustainable products
in stores and 31.1% more sustainable raw materials.

Instituto Riachuelo

The Riachuelo Institute was born to shelter our socioeconomic initiatives. Through it, we promote special projects that impact around
150 small and medium-sized entrepreneurs and more than four thousand people in the northeast of Brazil, especially in Rio Grande
do Norte – RN state.

Among its action fronts, we highlight:

Pró-Sertão Program: through the Supply Chain Program in partnership with Sebrae and the State Government, the Instituto Riachuelo
supports more than 100 sewing workshops distributed in 33 municipalities in RN.

Agro Sertão: program in partnership with Embrapa and Sebrae that provides income and food security for the families from Seridó,
based on food culture. In addition to planting cotton without chemical inputs, this food crop is based on feeding its herd and planting
food for its subsistence, such as: beans, broad beans, corn, sesame, where the surplus is sold in the region to complement income.

Embroidery and handicraft: the project linked to these activities contains an engagement factor of enormous impact, since it is
directly linked to the local culture, coming from generations and which may be extinguished due to lack of incentive, structure and
market update. The Instituto Riachuelo, in partnership with Sebrae, works to expand and strengthen the market, providing conditions
to guarantee autonomy and strengthen the relationship between embroiderers and artisans with end consumers.

Native digital campaigns

The Company's communication strategy in 2022 was guided by the strengthening of digital campaigns, consolidating Riachuelo as a
content generator, and valuing the role of creators and influencers, which ensured identification, proximity and many lessons learned.

The last quarter of 2022 saw a greater presence of influencers in campaigns, topics relevant to networks (trends) and investments
increasingly focused on online strategies. Campaigns in the period accounted for 937 million impacts for Riachuelo, a 126% growth
versus 3Q22, 13 million clicks on digital media pieces, in addition to 110 million views on videos:

 Summer: the 2022 Summer collection was the big bet for October, which featured strong digital influencers, along with
influencers from Visto Riachu – our micro and nano influencer acceleration program;

 Brazilian Artists: with "Brasilidade" as one of its main pillars of communication, Riachuelo continued the Viva Arte initiative,
started in September with the collab with João Incerti, and launched three collaborative collections with artists Paulo
Mariotti, Verena Smit and Gabriel Azevedo;

 Parties: the campaign left the scope of photos and fashion movies and proposed a "video podcast" model, achieving the
highest engagement rate of the semester on Instagram;

 BodyWork: in January 2023, Riachuelo's sports brand, BodyWork, was relaunched, bringing Rebeca Andrade, Olympic and
world gymnastics champion, to the launch campaign. The brand delivers functional products, with a focus on performance
and quality in its collections.

The Visto Riachu, nano and micro-influencers acceleration program, increased the volume of publications and accounted for 39% of
the content produced in 4Q22.

In 2023, Riachuelo joins the sponsorship team of Big Brother Brasil – BBB, a program that connects the consumer in an omnichannel
strategy and that will allow Riachuelo to get closer to very relevant conversations with great repercussions. In addition, during the first
quarter of the year, it is a television program with a significant audience. Riachuelo thus appropriates a territory of opportunities and
visibility.

Social networks and media

 INSTAGRAM: Riachuelo closed the year with 8.2 million followers, being one of the most influential fashion and lifestyle
profiles in Brazil, with absolute leadership in interactions among the main competitors;

 TIKTOK: presence in this network continues to grow and consolidates itself as one of Riachuelo's largest communication
channels. There were more than 47 million views in 80 publications from October to December;
6
 LIVESHOP: throughout 4Q22, 11 lives were held, and in 2022 there were 49 lives, with a total audience of 2.8 million people,
which represented 61.5% of new users of the site.

CCXP22

The biggest pop culture festival in the world, the 2022 edition brought together 280,000 people during the 5 days of the fair. Present
at CCXP since 2016, in the 2022 edition, Riachuelo officially passed the baton to FANLAB, which was one of the official sponsors of
the event. With a 540m² stand, the group's new geek brand brought different worlds of products to visitors, such as Harry Potter, Star
Wars, anime, games, heroes, movies, and series. As FANLAB was born with the purpose of providing experiences, the brand entered
into a partnership with Netflix for two activations: Stranger Things and Round 6. Another highlight was the issue of 1,100 Riachuelo
cards during the event.

In 2022, the Company presented a consolidated net revenue of R$8.5 billion, a growth of 17.1% vs. 2021, reflecting the evolution of the
value proposition of its core business, which resulted in an increase of 12.2% in net revenue from Products, and the gradual growth of
Midway Financeira's credit portfolios, which brought a net revenue 33.3% higher than the previous year.

Consolidated adjusted EBITDA for 2022 totaled R$948.1 million, a 5.6% increase compared to 2021, mainly due to the 82.5% growth
in adjusted EBITDA from Products, as it has already returned to pre-pandemic levels. Midway Financeira, on the other hand, faced a
challenging scenario throughout the year and, as a result, adhered to more conservative credit policies, adjusting the risk of granting
new cards and reviewing customer limits.

Net revenue from products totaled R$2.0 billion in 4Q22, in line with the revenue presented in 4Q21, and grew 10.0% over the same
period in 2019.

This sales performance was impacted by some atypical factors, such as lower-than-usual temperatures for the last quarter of the year,
as well as the World Soccer Cup event. December was the month with the best performance in the quarter, especially after the end
of the world cup.

 Apparel: emphasis on the performance of the women's and children's subcategories as a result of the evolution of the
value proposition and assertive positioning in these segments.

 Beauty: the category showed strong growth, with strong adherence to the value proposition in fashion and lifestyle.

 Home Fashion: the category still faces a challenging scenario, with a consumption profile targeted towards other categories
associated with the return of mobility. The Company continues to take advantage of the moment to evolve its value
proposition to customers in this segment, which contributes to higher profitability, but has an initial impact on sales.

 Electronics: the segment continues to face challenges, but has been offset by the Company's focus on supplementary
products.

In 2022, net revenue from products totaled R$6.2 billion, a 12.2% increase against 2021. Same-store sales (SSS) increased by 8.3% vs.
2021. Highlights on the 13.4% advance in the apparel category, with 20.9% in women's apparel.

Gross Profit

reached 49.7% in 4Q22, while the gross margin for apparel reached 53.2%. The lower gross margin in the quarter reflects inventory
loss entries above previous levels due to the shift in the inventory calendar and the higher cost of idleness in the industrial operation
as a result of the preparation to centralize manufacturing production in Rio Grande do Norte State. There was no change in the
commercial strategy in terms of price and product positioning.

In 2022, gross profit from products reached R$3.1 billion, 13.4% higher than the gross profit for 2021. Gross margin on products reached
50.7% in the year, a 0.5 p.p. increase compared to 2021, already returning to the same pre-pandemic level (50.5% in 2019).

Midway Financeira's gross revenue totaled R$604.2 million in 4Q22, a 22.1% growth compared to 4Q21. This evolution is mainly
associated with the 16.9% growth in financial revenue from card operations and the performance of the personal loan operation,
which reported a 39.4% increase. In 2022, Midway Financeira recorded a gross revenue of R$2.3 billion, a 32.7% increase compared
to 2021.

The performance presented in the main revenues from the financial operation reflect the gradual growth movement of the credit
portfolios during the year 2022, even with the adherence to more restrictive policies in the granting of credit.

The provision for credit losses from Riachuelo card operations (Private Label + Brand) and personal loans, net of credit recovery and
discounts, totaled R$347.6 million and covers the restoration of the absolute volumes of Midway Financeira's credit portfolio, as well
as the scenario of greater inflationary pressure and household indebtedness. The increase in the Provision for Doubtful Accounts -
PDA in the quarter also reflects the increase in the coverage ratio, from 92.3% in 3Q22 to 93.7% in 4Q22. Also, in 4Q22, Midway sold
part of its credit card portfolio, generating revenue of R$50.3 million, similar to the revenue from the sale of the portfolio made in
4Q21. In the year, the PDA expense net of the recovery of credits and discounts totaled R$1.2 billion.

Given this scenario and based on data and model-driven management, the Company follows the most conservative credit policies,
adjusting the risk by granting new cards and reviewing the limits of customers with higher risk. In addition, Midway also continues to
seek opportunities in collection strategies.

Operating expenses amounted to R$207.8 million in 4Q22, practically in line with 4Q21. Other operating expenses and revenues
totaled an expense of R$97.6 million in the quarter, related to the termination of the agreement with the Visa brand. On the other
hand, we negotiated exclusivity with the Mastercard brand, with more favorable terms throughout the contract.

As a result of the elements mentioned above, Adjusted EBITDA from Financial Operations reached R$15.9 million in 4Q22. In the year,
adjusted EBITDA from Financial Operations totaled R$122.6 million, down 71.1% compared to 2021.

The delinquency rate continues to be a challenge in view of the macroeconomic scenario, but the new credits granted have been
showing a better quality. Delinquency on the credit card portfolio between 15 and 90 days (over 15 to 90) showed a significant
reduction of 1.4 p.p. vs. 3Q22, reaching 6.6%, which demonstrates a better behavior of shorter delay ranges. Portfolio delinquency
over 90 days (over 90) also dropped and reached 15.6%.

The delinquency of the Personal Loan portfolio between 15 and 90 days (over 15 to 90) has remained practically stable since the 2 nd
quarter. The portfolio over 90 days (over 90), in turn, increased to 29%, but remains below pre-pandemic levels.

period. Operating expenses represented 32.3% of the consolidated net revenue in 4Q22, a 5.6 p.p. decrease vs. 4Q21. Year-to-date
operating expenses totaled R$3.2 billion and represented 38.0% of consolidated net revenue for 2022, a 6.1 p.p. decrease vs. 2021.

This result is due to the Company's discipline and control over its expenses, with revisions in the structures of the areas and
outsourced services, in addition to the focus on balancing the intensity of expenses related to the digital operation, especially those
related to media and freight, as part of its omnichannel strategy.

the lower adjusted EBITDA of Midway Financeira, resulting from the resumption of provisions in view of the restoration of the
absolute volumes of the credit portfolio, as well as the scenario of greater inflationary pressure and household indebtedness.
Adjusted EBITDA from merchandise increased by 24.9% in the quarter.

In the year 2022, adjusted EBITDA totaled R$948.1 million, a 5.6% increase compared to the previous year. Year-to-date Adjusted

The Company's ex-IFRS16 net financial result totaled an expense of R$88.3 million in the quarter, representing 3.4% of the net revenue.
This result continues to be impacted by the high-interest rate recorded in the period.

The main changes in the financial result in the quarter were:

 Financial revenues: increase of 25.8%, totaling R$47.7 million in 4Q22, mainly reflecting higher cash profitability due to higher
interest rates in the period and higher average cash in the period;

 Financial expenses: reached R$151.3 million in 4Q22 vs. R$95.0 million in 4Q21. This 59.2% variation mainly reflects the higher
cost of debt resulting from the increased CDI rate in the period.

In the year, the ex-IFRS16 net financial result totaled R$322.7 million, an increase of 169.9%. This variation was mainly due to the
increase in the average CDI rate for the period, from 4.5% in 2021 to 12.5% in 2022.
