MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Dear Investors,

Our third-quarter 2026 results sustained the strong momentum established in the first half of the year. Continued improvements in our value proposition, growing Tiendas 3B brand equity, and increasing customer trust drove robust same-store sales (SSS) growth of 20.5%.

During the quarter, we opened 141 net new stores, bringing net store openings over the last twelve months to 603. We also opened four new distribution centers, expanding our regional network to 25 regions as of September 2026.

Our revenue growth continues to significantly outpace that of the Mexican retail industry. Third-quarter revenue reached Ps. 28,445 million, an increase of 40.3% year over year, driven by strong SSS growth and a 19.1% expansion in our store base.

EBITDA, when excluding non-cash share-based compensation, increased 60.5% year over year to Ps. 1,877 million. Reported EBITDA was Ps. 1,327 million, reflecting the impact of non-cash share-based compensation.

While we are pleased with our EBITDA performance, we highlight that we do not manage our business to achieve a specific EBITDA margin target. Our priorities remain the disciplined expansion of our store network and the relentless improvement of our customer value proposition. These are the foundations of our competitive advantage, and, over time, we believe will drive sustainable margin expansion.

Cash flow generation remained strong, fully funding our expansion during the quarter. Robust revenue growth, healthy operating margins, and our structurally negative working capital continued to support our strong cash flow dynamics.

As we enter the final quarter of 2026, we remain focused on execution and optimistic about the opportunities ahead. Our resilient, scalable business model positions us to capitalize on these opportunities while continuing to create lasting value for our customers, employees, and shareholders.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

K. Anthony Hatoum, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

TOTAL REVENUE

Total revenue for 3Q26 was Ps. 28,445 million, up 40.3% year-over-year. Most of this growth was driven by sales from stores that have been operating for more than one year, and, to a lesser extent, the incremental sales from 603 net new stores opened in the past twelve months.

GROSS PROFIT AND GROSS PROFIT MARGIN

Gross profit increased 44.8% year-over-year to Ps. 4,743 million in 3Q26, driven by strong sales growth and a 52-bps expansion in gross margin. The margin improvement reflected a stronger commercial margin and lower transportation costs as a percentage of revenue, despite the opening of four distribution centers in 3Q26.

EXPENSES

Sales expenses primarily reflect the cost of operating our stores, including wages and energy. As a percentage of total revenue, sales expenses stood at 9.8% in 3Q26, a decline of 36 bps year-over-year, as a result of improved operational leverage across most components of our sales expenses, including labor. In 3Q26, sales expenses reached Ps. 2,796 million, a 35.4% increase compared to 3Q25. This growth was mainly driven by an increase in the number of stores and wage inflation.

Administrative expenses refer to expenses not directly related to operating our stores, such as headquarters, regional office expenses, and share-based compensation. For 3Q26, administrative expenses totaled Ps. 1,283 million, a 39.2% decrease compared to 3Q25. This decrease is entirely explained by a lower non-cash share-based payment expense, as in 3Q25 we started to recognize the non-cash expense corresponding to the Liquidity Event Plan (LEP) disclosed in February 2024 and granted by the Board of Directors in June 2025, subject to a quarterly vesting schedule, and which expense is recognized on a non-linear basis using a graded vesting method, being higher at the start of the period and decreasing over time (see Appendix 2 of this Earnings Release for additional details). As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses decreased from 10.4% in 3Q25 to 4.5% in 3Q26. The non-cash share-based compensation is already reflected in our fully diluted share count.

Excluding non-cash share-based payment expense, administrative expenses for 3Q26 amounted to Ps. 733 million, an increase of 37.0% compared to 3Q25, as we continue to invest in talent and open new regions. As a percentage of revenue, administrative expenses excluding non-cash share-based payment expense stood at 2.6% in 3Q26, a decrease of 6 bps year-over-year.

Please refer to Appendix 2 of this Earnings Release for an updated table summarizing the share-based payment expense plans and related expenses.

Other income – net, which includes, among other items, revenues from non-operative activities such as asset disposals, cost reimbursements, and insurance proceeds, amounted to other income – net of Ps. 17 million in 3Q26, 3.5% lower than in 3Q25. As a percentage of revenue, other income – net decreased by 3 bps year-over-year.

EBITDA AND EBITDA MARGIN

For 3Q26, EBITDA was Ps. 1,327 million, compared to (Ps. 404) million in 3Q25. As previously described, our EBITDA was positively impacted by the decrease in non-cash share-based payment expense.

Excluding non-cash share-based payment expense, EBITDA was Ps. 1,877 million, an increase of 60.5% compared to 3Q25. The EBITDA margin for 3Q26, adjusted to exclude the non-cash share-based compensation, increased by 83 bps to 6.6%.

Please see the last section of this release on how we calculate EBITDA and EBITDA Margin, which are non-IFRS financial measures.

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

To allow investors to better assess our performance, the Company is providing the following supplementary information:

• Share-based payment expense (non-cash): Non-cash share-based payment expense totaled Ps. 550 million in 3Q26, compared to Ps. 1,574 million recorded in 3Q25.
  For additional details, please refer to Appendix 2 of this Earnings Release.

• Building lease payments: The Company leases all except one of its stores and all of its distribution centers. In accordance with IFRS 16, the Company’s lease expenses are capitalized, and are not considered operating expenses. Tiendas 3B’s capitalized lease payments for buildings were Ps. 638 million in 3Q26, versus Ps. 463 million in 3Q25.

FINANCIAL COSTS AND NET PROFIT/LOSS

Financial income totaled Ps. 63 million in 3Q26, up from Ps. 42 million in 3Q25. The increase was primarily driven by a higher average cash position.

Financial costs were Ps. 528 million for 3Q26, a 45.7% increase compared to 3Q25. This increase was primarily driven by higher interest expenses on lease liabilities, reflecting the continued expansion of our stores, distribution center network, and equipment.

The Company recorded a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 97 million in 3Q26, driven by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the Mexican peso, which positively impacted, in Mexican peso terms, the Company’s U.S. dollar-denominated cash position.

Income tax expense reached Ps. 290 million in 3Q26 compared to Ps. 137 million in 3Q25.

As a result, our net profit for 3Q26 was Ps. 23 million, compared to a net loss of Ps. 1,424 million for 3Q25.

BALANCE SHEET AND LIQUIDITY

As of September 30, 2026, the Company reported local currency cash and cash equivalents of Ps. 3,075 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2026, the Company held $237 million in U.S. dollar-denominated short-term bank deposits. The Company applied an exchange rate of Ps. 17.84 to one U.S. dollar as of September 30, 2026.

Our business model continues to generate strong operating cash flow through its structurally negative working capital cycle, supported by growing sales and high inventory turnover relative to supplier payment terms. This cash flow fully funds our expansion, including new stores and distribution centers.

The information provided below summarizes cash flow changes in the first nine months of 2026:

Net cash flows provided by operating activities increased to Ps. 7,051 million in the first nine months of 2026 (“9M26”) from Ps. 3,095 million for the first nine months of 2025 (“9M25”). Our net working capital continues to be driven by a favorable ratio of Inventory Days to Payable Days.

Net cash flows used in investing activities totaled Ps. 4,129 million for 9M26, compared to Ps. 2,228 million in 9M25. This increase was primarily attributed to the Ps. 1,483 million allocation of the primary proceeds from the equity follow-on into short-term deposits during 2Q26, along with continued investments to expand our store and logistics network.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were Ps. 1,287 million for 9M26, compared to the cash flows used in 9M25 of Ps. 1,172 million. The amount for 9M26 reflects the inflows from the primary proceeds from the equity follow-on.

In 3Q26, we opened 141 net new stores compared to the 131 net new stores opened in 3Q25. In the last twelve months, the Company opened 603 net new stores, compared to 528 stores in the twelve months ending 3Q25.

Same Store Sales grew by 20.5% for 3Q26, compared to 17.9% for 3Q25.

Non-IFRS Measures and Other Calculations

For the convenience of investors, this release presents certain non-IFRS financial measures, which are not calculated in accordance with IFRS (“non-IFRS financial measures”). A non-IFRS financial measure is generally defined as one that purports to measure financial performance but excludes or includes amounts that would not be so excluded or included in the most comparable IFRS financial measure. Non-IFRS financial measures do not have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These non-IFRS financial measures are used by our management for decision-making purposes and to assess our financial and operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. The non-IFRS financial measures presented herein have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations presented in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, our calculations of non-IFRS financial measures may be different from the calculations used by other companies, including our competitors, and therefore, our non-IFRS financial measures may not be comparable to those of other companies.

We calculate “EBITDA”, a non-IFRS measure, as net profit (loss) for the period, plus income tax expense, financial costs, net, and total depreciation and amortization.

We calculate “EBITDA Margin”, a non-IFRS measure, for a period by dividing EBITDA for the corresponding period by total revenue for such period.

Same Store Sales: We measure “Same Store Sales” using revenue from sales of merchandise at stores that were operational for at least the full preceding 12 months for the periods under consideration. Stores that were temporarily closed (for one month or more) or permanently closed during the relevant measurement periods are excluded from this metric. Same Store Sales growth is calculated by comparing the Same Store Sales of stores that were opened and remained open throughout the relevant measurement period.

Lease Payments: Consistent with lease accounting required under IFRS 16, total depreciation and amortization includes the depreciation expense of right-of-use-asset corresponding to long-term leases, which is a non-cash expense. Such amounts, together with the interest expense on lease liabilities, is a proxy for but not equal to the Company’s actual cash expenditure incurred in connection with its leased properties.

Inventory Days: We calculate “Inventory Days” to be the average of beginning and end of period inventory balance, divided by cost of sales for the period and multiplied by the number of days during the period. Inventory Days measures the average number of days we keep inventory on hand before selling the product. This operating metric allows us to track our inventory management policies and observe how quickly we are able to rotate inventory, which is key to our cash conversion cycle.

Payable Days: We calculate “Payable Days” to be the sum of the average of beginning and end of period balance of suppliers and of accounts payable and accrued expenses, divided by cost of sales for the period and multiplied by the number of days during the period. Payable Days measures the average number of days that it takes us to pay suppliers after receiving goods or services. This metric allows us to track the terms of payment policies with suppliers and our ability to finance our operations through agreements with our suppliers.
