Third quarter was a challenging quarter for Mexico.

Total sales were up 9.7% and 2.8% at comparable stores. Salesin September were affected by flooding in Nuevo Leon, Veracruz,Oaxaca and Tabasco.

Gross margin for the third quarter 2010 was 21 7% this year vsGross margin for the third quarter 2010 was 21.7% this year vs.21.9% last year. The decline compared to last year is related tothe recognition of the timing of supplier allowances and is a onetime event.

E th t t h ll i th t W hExpenses, were the greatest challenge in the quarter. We havedone a good job in maintaining our discipline in expenses andeven improving our distribution and store productivity measures,but our costs have been impacted by increases in electricitytariffs and depreciation If we take out utilities expenses would

tariffs, and depreciation. If we take out utilities, expenses wouldhave grown less than sales.

Our effective Every Day Low Prices strategy, based on having thel t t t t i th k t ll t i t tl llowest cost structure in the market, allows us to consistently lowerprices. Our price gap vs. the rest of the market increased duringthe quarter as well as year to date.

This has certainly been well received by our customers, asreflected in our sales continuing to grow at a faster rate than themarket, both at comparable stores and for total stores, and in ourcase, on top of a much stronger growth last year.

We don’t have yet the numbers for September for the industry, buty p y,for the first eight months of the year Walmex comp store sales forself-service formats in Mexico grew 3.0%, more than double therate of growth of the industry as measured by the ANTAD, whichincreased 1.3% excluding Walmex.

And in terms of total sales, our self-service formats in Mexico grew10.1%, which very positively compares with the 5.6% growth ofANTAD excluding Walmex.

Now, as I said before, expenses were the greatest challenge ofNow, as I said before, expenses were the greatest challenge ofthe quarter.

We have done a good job on expenses, but they have beenimpacted by two important line items: utilities and depreciation.

Our utility expense grew 25.6%. This is specifically related to anincrease of electricity cost. Tariffs in August were 17.2% higherthan last year.

If we take out the increases in utilities, expenses would have, pgrown 9.5% compared with the 9.7% increase in total income;and if we also exclude depreciation that increased 13.2%, theincrease in expenses was 8.9%.

We continue with our discipline with regards to expenses and itWe continue with our discipline with regards to expenses, and itshould allow us to continue to improve our leadership position.
