    The Company i s exposed to the effects of future events that could affect the purchasing power and/ or buying habits of i ts population. These events may be economic, political or social in nature and some of the most important are described below:

  • .Employment and salary. Positive or negative changes in employment and/ or real salary levels could affect Mexico' s per capita income and, consequently, the Company's business performance.

  • .Changes in interest rates and exchange rates. Historica l ly, Walmart has generated cash surpluses in Mexico and Central America on which i t earns financial income. A

    reduction in interest rates could cause a decrease in the Company' s financial income, which would affect i ts earnings growth. However, the Company believes that a reduction in interest rates would actually have a positive effect on i ts business in the medium and long- term, s ince i t would help improve the purchasing power of i ts customers.

    On the other hand, exchange rate f luctuations tend to put u pward pressure on inflation and reduce the population' s purchasing power, which could ultimately hinder the Company' s sales, in particular, due to the purchase of import goods.

  • .Competition. The retail sector has become very competitive in recent years, which has led to the need for all the players in the market to constantly look for ways to set themselves apart from the competition. This puts the Company' s market share at r i sk. Other factors affecting the Company' s market share could be the business expansion of i ts competitors and the possible entrance of new competitors into the market.

  • Inflation. Over the last few years, inflation rates in Mexico and Central America have remained at low levels. A s ignificant increase in inflation rates could h ave a direct effect on the purchasing power of the Company' s customers and the demand for i ts products and services.

  • Changes in government regulations. The Company i s exposed to the changes in different laws and regulations, which, after becoming effec t ive, they could affect the Company' s operating results, such as an impact on sales, expenses for payroll indirect taxes and changes in applicable rates. Currently, the level of scrutiny and discretion by the tax authorities has greatly increased. Mexican courts have changed their position favoring those authorities ignoring violations of form and procedure.

  • Recent Developments. During the last weeks, international and national events have occurred, that have increased the volatility of some economic indicators, creating an environment of vulnerability and uncertainty. Among the events, we can find the possibility of the renegotiation or termination of the North American Free Trade Agreement, possible increases in import duties or tariffs for the expor t of Mexican products, the cancelation of third- party foreign investment projects previously announced, the depreciation of the Mexican peso, the increase in the prices of gasoline, as well as violent demonstrations that have affected our stores, among
