MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT

Operation and Sales Status

The year of 2021 was marked by the great result of our malls, which posted a strong improvement compared to 2019 in the main indicators, with increase in sales and rental revenues, resulting in a drop in delinquency and closing of vacant area when compared to the scenario seen in 2020.

Operational indicators

Our sales continued to perform very well, leading us to reach the quarterly sales record in our history. Total sales reached R$ 12.7 billion in 2021, which represents a growth of 46.1% compared to 2020. Same-Store sales (SSS) had a superior performance, reaching 34.7 % higher when compared to the same period in 2020.

We managed to improve same-store sales (SSS) in all categories, such as Fashion, Footwear and Leather Goods, which account for 32.0% of our GLA, increased 50.6% in same-store sales over 2019, and Food also have performed well, growing 35.6% in 2021 versus 2020.

Rent

With the return of movie and new releases schedule, entertainment operations improved, which positively impacted parking lot flow and restaurant and food court occupancy at night.

The positive sales result allowed us to continue with our policy of withdrawing discounts, generating a 67.2% growth over 2020 in same-store rent (SSR). Despite having increased collections, net delinquency fell to 2.4%, a value close to the pre-pandemic level and occupancy cost reached 12.6% in 2021.

Occupancy rate

With the strong pick-up of sales in our portfolio, we saw an increase in the search for our spaces and we signed 66 new rental agreements in 4Q21. As a result, December was the 6th consecutive month in which we closed vacant GLA in 2021, reaching an average occupancy rate of 90.8% in 2021. If we consider the end of December, the occupancy rate was 92.2%.

Restructuring

Continuing with the corporate restructuring, on October 1st and 13th, 2021, Jereissati Participações and Iguatemi, approved, respectively, at the EGM unanimously and with 65% of the minority shareholders' votes, the merger of the shares issued by Iguatemi owned by non-controlling shareholders by Jereissati. The Transaction aims to create Iguatemi SA, a new name to be adopted by Jereissati, which will bring together the shareholding bases of the two companies in a single company, and which will have shares traded, in the form of Units, in the Level 1 listing segment of B3 S.A., but with shareholder rights and governance practices substantially like those required by B3's Novo Mercado Regulation. In addition, the Company's new Bylaws implemented vetoes given to non-controlling shareholders on specific matters, in addition to the creation of 4 new committees formed by statutory members.

This new structure is a fundamental step for the company's future, as it allows the company to increase its investment and growth capacity, putting the company in a favorable position to participate in future opportunities for consolidation, business combinations and acquisition of strategic assets, increasing thus the relevance within the market.

Employees

In 4Q21, we reinforced the importance of our people being in the core of our customer experience.

In the organizational health front, we focused on dates targeted at disease prevention, such as Pink October and Blue November. We offered our employees the opportunity to have male and female health exams at the company and held lectures on preventive health with renowned professionals, such as Dr. Fernando Cotait Maluf and Dr. Antonio Carlos Buzaid.

Continuing the development of our leaders, we have developed the Lidera Iguatemi programs aimed at first-time leaders and training in future skills for middle-level leaders, comprising 2 modules: Problem Solving and Inova Iguatemi.

With this expansion and increased operation efficiencies, versus 2020, we closed 2021 with traffic up by 117%, an 82% increase in customers making purchases, and a 17% reduction in cost per session.

In 2022, we plan to (1) reduce delivery times; (2) maintain the expansion of non-fashion category and continue bringing in Top Brands; (3) develop new offline sales models - such as new temporary operations and Private Client; and (4) launch the app. As a result, we plan to double our GMV versus 2021.

The number of customers increased more than 3 times, and the number of partners doubled, bringing innovations such as discounts and experiences inside and outside our malls.
