1. Texto de Abertura

2014 marca o retorno de Portugal ao crescimento após um período de três anos de contracção da economia tendo-se confirmado a saída da recessão em resultado da recuperação, ainda que pouco sustentada, do consumo privado.

Os sinais positivos foram particularmente importantes pois traduziram-se no acréscimo da procura interna que permitiu uma melhoria da performance do Grupo. Nos três anos anteriores, de contracção da economia, o Grupo procedeu ao ajustamento dos custos aos menores níveis de actividade do que resultou uma estrutura mais flexível que permitiu, em 2014, um significativo aumento da rentabilidade por efeito da alavancagem resultante do crescimento do volume de negócios.

Para esta melhoria não terão sido alheios fenómenos que começam a ser estruturantes: o crescimento da captação de turistas estrangeiros - uma tendência que continuou a ganhar tracção nos últimos anos - mas também a circunstância da recuperação do consumo privado ter sido positivamente afectada durante o Verão pelas condições de instabilidade climatérica, favoráveis ao aumento de tráfego nos shoppings.

A evolução favorável do contexto permitiu uma melhoria das vendas da generalidade dos conceitos com os maiores impactos a verificarem-se nos conceitos de balcão.

Porém, o ano continuou a ser marcado pela manutenção do rendimento disponível a um nível baixo e uma elevada taxa de desemprego que afectou os comportamentos dos consumidores, traduzidos numa alteração do processo de tomada de decisão, mais complexo e selectivo por parte do consumidor, com hábitos e ritmos de consumo diferentes. Por isso, continuamos a implementar remodelações nos nossos restaurantes e a consolidar as operações de forma a garantir as melhores experiências de consumo.

A taxa de IVA da restauração manteve-se em níveis elevados pressionando a rentabilidade do sector. De facto, a generalidade dos operadores do sector não repercutiu integralmente nos preços de venda o agravamento das taxas, o que reduziu as respectivas margens. Por isso, continuamos a registar o adiamento da necessária descida da taxa de IVA da restauração, a bem da competitividade do sector, mas também é importante referir, pela positiva, o significativo combate à economia paralela, nomeadamente com o programa e-factura, que tem vindo a criar condições de equidade concorrencial no sector, trazendo para dentro do sistema alguns operadores.

O Grupo manteve a sua aposta nos três grandes eixos: o reajustamento e modernização do Portfólio, a valorização dos Recursos Humanos e o alargamento dos mercados em que actua através da internacionalização para os Países de Língua Portuguesa.

Neste sentido importa referir o programa de remodelações muito significativo que foi concretizado pela Pizza Hut, Burger King, Pasta Caffé e Pans&Company, bem como nos conceitos da Multimarca.

O Grupo viu reconhecido o trabalho e rigor de toda a sua equipa nas vertentes da Qualidade e Segurança Alimentar tendo conseguido um número recorde de certificações, as quais, mais do que declarações de conformidade, são essencialmente a constatação de todo o empenho e dedicação que colocamos em tudo o que fazemos, no sentido de garantir aos nossos Clientes elevados padrões, os quais se reflectem na aceitação das marcas e nos milhões de refeições servidas.

O ano de 2014 veio possibilitar a geração de um nível de cash-flow que permitiu financiar a totalidade dos investimentos, o que só foi possível pelo continuado esforço de manter os custos ajustados à evolução das vendas, garantindo assim a racionalidade operacional.

Temos a expectativa de que a economia portuguesa passe a evidenciar taxas de crescimento mais significativas para que se inicie um novo ciclo.

Uma coisa é certa, o Grupo Ibersol, independentemente de qualquer cenário, já demonstrou que está preparado para os desafios vindouros.

3. Mensagem do Presidente do Conselho de Administração

Nos últimos três anos antecipámos soluções, qualificamos as nossas pessoas, trabalhámos com determinação e assim pudemos apresentar uma performance positiva e uma consistente valorização do nosso Grupo, num contexto especialmente exigente.

Ao aumento da carga fiscal respondemos com os ajustamentos necessários que não comprometessem a nossa proposta de valor junto dos consumidores. Ao novo perfil de consumo respondemos com propostas inovadoras e diferenciadas. Ao desemprego respondemos com uma política activa de qualificação das nossas pessoas.

Por tudo isto, podemos dizer que aproveitamos o regresso do crescimento económico, pela nossa continuada persistência e enfoque nos ajustamentos de custos, quer a nível operacional, quer a nível mais estrutural.

Nós acreditamos em Portugal e por isso criámos as condições, na nossa organização e nas nossas pessoas, para que elas também não deixassem de acreditar. Mas, mais importante, estamos certos de que com as nossas propostas, com as experiências de consumo que proporcionamos todos os dias, contribuímos também para que os portugueses voltassem a acreditar. Foi visível que os sinais de recuperação vieram essencialmente do aumento do consumo interno, ou seja dos portugueses e da sua determinação.

O Grupo Ibersol - o mais importante grupo de restauração moderna em Portugal e um dos maiores da Península Ibérica - tem responsabilidades acrescidas e por isso trabalha todos os dias, antecipando desafios, estudando o mercado e implementando soluções.

Esta é a realidade com que os nossos stakeholders sabem que podem contar, em tempos mais tranquilos ou em momentos desafiantes.

Vamos continuar este percurso de sucesso e solidez, defendendo o trabalho, o emprego, a relação com os nossos Clientes e a criação de valor, sempre com rigor e persistência, todos os dias, em Portugal, Espanha e Angola.

4. O Ano de 2014

4.1 Principais Acontecimentos

A intensificação da modernização do Portfólio e lançamento de novos conceitos

Em 2014 intensificamos o programa de modernização do Portfólio das diferentes marcas e negócios em Portugal e Espanha, dando continuidade à estratégia de apostar numa experiência de restaurante mais moderna, mais actual, mais inovadora e mais interactiva e continuamos também a apostar em novos conceitos.

Nas modernizações do Portfólio destacam-se os investimentos realizados nas unidades da Pizza Hut, com um importante plano de remodelação da imagem, traduzida em 23 intervenções que incidiram sobretudo no novo design, layout e novas funcionalidades tecnológicas.

Na Burger King para além da modernização do parque de lojas implementou-se também os menuboard digitais num conjunto alargado de lojas. Em 2014 o Grupo continuou o seu plano de expansão da marca com a abertura de 5 novas unidades localizadas em Matosinhos, Braga, Açores (Ponta Delgada), Viseu (Fórum Viseu) e Loures (Flamenga).

A Pasta Caffé deu continuidade à implementação do novo conceito de restaurante com matriz mais acentuada de cozinha italiana de autor em que o restaurante passou a contar com uma decoração e imagem modernas, pizzaiolo permanente e espaços únicos com ambientes distintos. Foi inaugurado o novo restaurante na Praça Central do Centro Colombo, na zona nobre da restauração com serviço à mesa, bem como implementado este novo conceito no restaurante do Parque Atlântico, nos Açores.

A Pans&Company implementou um novo conceito de restaurante, inspirado nos ambientes e sabores mediterrânicos, nas unidades de Vasco da Gama, Gaiashopping e Dolce Vita Antas.

O conceito MiiT continuou a sua estratégia de consolidação como marca nacional com a abertura de uma nova unidade no Centro Colombo.

No segmento Multimarca a dinâmica das reformulações das marcas internacionais, nomeadamente a Pizza Hut, continuou a bom ritmo. Destaca-se também o lançamento com enorme sucesso do Specially, um novo conceito no Aeroporto de Lisboa, onde renovamos o conceito Cockpit.

Durante o ano procedemos ao rebranding do Palace Catering e já em Novembro, à apresentação da mais recente aposta do Grupo, a ROULOTTE, um conceito inspirado na tradição gastronómica portuguesa na sua versão mais descontraída, com um conjunto de receitas deliciosas inspiradas nas roulotes e tascas que caracterizam a comida de rua, um pouco por todo o país.

A Valorização das Equipas e as Novas Metodologias de Formação

O ano de 2014 ficou marcado por um novo rumo nas metodologias de formação. No seguimento do trabalho iniciado em 2013, o Grupo Ibersol consolidou a sua aposta na valorização dos Recursos Humanos, através da implementação de novos programas de formação nos Negócios Pizza Hut e KFC.

Assentes em três pilares – uma plataforma de aprendizagem em e-Learning, Coaching e On the Job Training (formação no posto de trabalho), – estes programas vieram permitir o reforço da consistência nas aprendizagens dos standards e o seu acompanhamento de forma contínua, destinando-se quer à formação e à recertificação das actuais equipas, quer, futuramente, à formação e desenvolvimento de líderes em diferentes níveis de carreira, nomeadamente Gestores de Turno e Directores de Restaurante.

A plataforma de aprendizagem em e-Learning (Learning Zone) apresenta diversas funcionalidades que permitem o armazenamento, gestão e exportação de conteúdos, bem como a realização de cursos e testes online de avaliação do Saber e do Saber Fazer. A plataforma veio conferir uma maior objectividade e interactividade à formação, uma maior autonomia dos formandos e um maior enfoque nos resultados e no Cliente.

A implementação destas novas metodologias está alinhada com a crescente orientação do Grupo de acompanhar, não só os novos perfis e comportamentos dos seus Clientes, mas também das suas Equipas, dando assim resposta às expectativas e necessidades dos seus colaboradores.

O mercado de Angola

Inauguramos um novo restaurante situado no Morro Bento pelo que no final do exercício operávamos quatro unidades em Luanda. No início de 2015, abrimos uma nova unidade, na província de Benguela, de forma a testarmos a aceitação da marca numa realidade diferente.

Os cinco restaurantes dar-nos-ão indicações sobre a maturidade do mercado e a aceitação do conceito por parte dos consumidores angolanos, permitindo definir as linhas de evolução futura.

Durante o exercício os restaurantes obtiveram a Certificação na ISO 22000. Também o operador logístico, sediado no pólo industrial de Viana, manteve a respectiva certificação.

4.2 Enquadramento Económico

Situação a nível mundial

As estimativas mais recentes da Comissão Europeia apontam para um crescimento de 3,3% do PIB mundial em 2014, inferior ao valor inicialmente projectado de 3,7%.

Por outro lado, as principais instituições económicas internacionais consideram ser expectável um crescimento da economia mundial de cerca de 3,6% em 2015 e 4,0% em 2016, com uma melhoria das previsões para as grandes economias desenvolvidas – U.E., EUA e Japão – e perspectivas mais sombrias para as dos países emergentes.

A economia dos Estados Unidos da América cresceu 2,4% em 2014 e deverá manter a trajectória de expansão, esperando-se um aumento do PIB de 3,5% em 2015 e 3,2% em 2016. O principal motor será o consumo privado, impulsionado pela queda dos preços do petróleo e apoiado na recuperação do mercado de trabalho (estima-se que a taxa de desemprego diminua de 6,2% em 2014 para 4,9% em 2016).

A União Europeia (U.E.) e a Zona Euro concluíram 2014 com indicadores de crescimento económico ainda tímidos (1,3% e 0,8%, respectivamente), mas com uma tendência ascendente que se deverá consolidar em 2015 e 2016 (1,3% e 1,9% na Zona Euro, 1,7% e 2,1% para o conjunto da U.E.). O crescimento do PIB assentará primordialmente no aumento da procura interna, que deverá beneficiar de políticas monetárias e fiscais menos restrictivas e da redução dos preços do petróleo. Mas as perspectivas em relação ao investimento continuam desfavoráveis em 2015 (esperando-se que em 2016 já se façam sentir os efeitos positivos do Plano de Investimento).

Apesar dos sinais de recuperação, a UE terá de saber ultrapassar as dificuldades inerentes à situação vivida na Grécia e os efeitos da deflação.

Por outro lado, os mercados emergentes tiveram uma performance aquém do esperado no ano de 2014, tendência que se deverá manter em 2015.

A principal economia emergente conseguiu recuperar de um início de ano negativo, terminando 2014 com um crescimento médio de 7,7%, apesar da diminuição da procura externa. Estima-se que as taxas de crescimento do PIB chinês continuem a sua trajectória decrescente, com um aumento de 7,4% em 2015 e 7,0% em 2016.

A Rússia enfrenta uma situação particularmente difícil: economia em regressão, alta inflação e juros elevados. Para além do efeito da redução dos preços do petróleo nos mercados internacionais, o país enfrenta ainda duras sanções económicas como consequência do conflito na Ucrânia.

Situação em Portugal

Projecções recentes do Banco de Portugal estimam que a economia portuguesa tenha crescido 0,9% em 2014 e evolua 1,5% e 1,6% em 2015 e 2016, respectivamente.

No primeiro semestre de 2014 registou-se um crescimento moderado da actividade económica que manteve a trajectória de recuperação gradual da actividade iniciada em 2013.

Para 2015 e 2016 estima-se a manutenção de um forte crescimento das exportações e uma aceleração da Formação Bruta de Capital Fixo (FBCF), a par de alguma desaceleração do consumo privado.

Terminado o Programa de Assistência Económica e Financeira, apesar dos progressos registados em várias frentes, são evidentes as dificuldades em conseguir um crescimento mais robusto da economia que crie emprego qualificado, dinamize ainda mais o sector exportador de bens e serviços e permita iniciar uma trajectória sustentada de diminuição da dívida pública.

Como consequência das tendências demográficas desfavoráveis, da formação insuficiente, da baixa produtividade dos factores e, principalmente, da falta de investimento das empresas (limitadas no acesso ao crédito pelo excesso de endividamento), o FMI antecipa que o ritmo de expansão do PIB estabilize no médio prazo em torno de 1,5% por ano, valor manifestamente insuficiente para permitir a aproximação ao nível de vida vigente nas economias europeias mais desenvolvidas.

Neste contexto é necessário aumentar o investimento e continuar as reformas estruturais em todos os sectores da sociedade, de forma a aumentar a capacidade de gerar riqueza através da dinamização da actividade económica: não apenas nos sectores tradicionais, mas também em áreas de maior valor acrescentado, fomentando a inovação e a competitividade.

Sem políticas activas de desenvolvimento económico e de mais e melhor formação, a economia não crescerá de molde a que os jovens e os melhores quadros não tenham de continuar a partir em busca de trabalho e de realização.

Situação em Espanha

A economia espanhola teve um bom desempenho em 2014, com o PIB a crescer 1,4%. O ritmo de expansão da actividade económica acelerou no último trimestre de 2014 com o reforço do contributo do consumo privado, sendo previsível que a retoma se consolide nos próximos trimestres.

Esta melhoria tem por base o aumento do rendimento disponível das famílias, consequência da criação de emprego, do aumento moderado dos preços e da recuperação da confiança dos agentes económicos, traduzido num crescimento de dois dígitos nas vendas a retalho e de automóveis e, do lado da oferta, no aumento da taxa de utilização da capacidade instalada para o nível mais alto dos últimos seis anos.

O mercado de trabalho espanhol tem vindo a melhorar consideravelmente, com a taxa desemprego a situar-se em 24,4% (menos 2,3 pontos percentuais do que em 2013, o que representa menos 326 mil desempregados), devido à recuperação da actividade produtiva, à moderação salarial e aos efeitos favoráveis da Reforma Laboral.

A economia deverá continuar a crescer a um ritmo superior à média europeia, estimando-se um crescimento de 1,8% e 1,9% em 2015 e 2016, respectivamente, suportado pelo incremento do emprego e pelas melhores condições de financiamento.

O consumo privado deverá aumentar 2,5% em 2015 e 2,0% em 2016, impulsionado pela melhoria sustentada do mercado de trabalho.

Prevê-se que o investimento cresça 3,0% em 2015 e 3,5% em 2016, estimulado pelo aumento da procura doméstica e pelo crescimento esperado das exportações (5,8% em 2015 e 5,5% em 2016).

Situação em Angola

As previsões do FMI apontam para uma desaceleração do crescimento económico em 2014, com o PIB a crescer 3,9%, por efeito do abrandamento do sector não petrolífero e menores receitas da actividade petrolífera.

O ano de 2015 será marcado por importantes desafios para a economia angolana em resultado da queda do preço do petróleo nos mercados internacionais.

No Orçamento Geral do Estado (OGE) para 2015, o governo angolano assumiu uma política expansionista, com um défice de 7,6% do PIB, pressupondo um preço do barril de petróleo de USD 81.

No entanto, a queda do preço da matéria-prima obrigou à alteração dos pressupostos do OGE e à elaboração de um Orçamento Rectificativo para 2015 que revê em baixa a previsão do preço do barril, fixando-o em USD 40. De acordo com o Ministério das Finanças, estima-se uma perda de receitas fiscais no total de USD 14 mil milhões.

Para fazer face à queda das receitas, o Governo Angolano definiu como prioridade reduzir a despesa pública e aumentar a receita proveniente dos sectores não petrolíferos, tendo decidido criar uma nova taxa sobre operações cambiais, medidas que vão afectar em muito a actividade das empresas a operar directa ou indirectamente em Angola.

O FMI prevê um crescimento de 5,9% do PIB em 2015 e o reforço do crescimento nos anos seguintes. No entanto, face à quebra das receitas do petróleo, o crescimento previsto poderá ser inferior, em resultado da implementação das medidas constantes do orçamento rectificado.

De referir que em 2014 teve início a actividade da Bolsa de Valores de Angola (BODIVA), com emissão de dívida pública.

Nota Final

Com excepção da economia dos EUA - que tudo indica deverá continuar a crescer vigorosamente - a U.E., o Japão e os Mercados Emergentes vão continuar a crescer abaixo do seu potencial. Porém, factores de natureza política poderão jogar um importante papel, com as situações de guerra no Médio Oriente, o conflito na Ucrânia e a incógnita da evolução da Grécia a merecerem destaque.

A queda do preço do petróleo será sem dúvida um dos factores determinantes da evolução económica e política em 2015.

5. O Grupo Ibersol

5.1 Estrutura de participações

5.2 O perfil estratégico do Grupo

GARANTIR AS BOAS EXPERIÊNCIAS E QUALIDADE DE VIDA

Os Cliente exigem boas experiências que potenciem a sua qualidade de vida. As nossas marcas fazem parte integrante do dia a dia de milhões de pessoas e, por isso, elas estão no centro das nossas atenções. O Grupo procura garantir uma oferta diversificada que possibilite aos consumidores experiências variadas em qualidade e sabor. Do pequeno-almoço ao almoço, do lanche ao jantar, durante a semana ou fim-de-semana, numa paragem a meio de uma viagem de automóvel, antes da partida de um comboio ou de um voo pela noite dentro, estamos presentes em vários momentos da vida dos consumidores. O Grupo Ibersol procura proporcionar-lhes momentos de bem-estar aliados a uma alimentação equilibrada, cuidada e adequada ao seu estilo de vida.

Exemplo desta preocupação é a nova ementa digital da Pizza Hut, uma inovação que propiciou uma experiência marcante aos Clientes da marca. Também as novas remodelações de algumas unidades, nomeadamente do Pasta Caffé, Pizza Hut, Burger King e Pans&Company, comprovam este constante cuidado, destacando-se neste campo as duas remodelações do Pasta Caffé no Centro Colombo e no Parque Atlântico, que criaram um ambiente mais italiano, por via da nova identidade da marca e de uma ementa cada vez mais original. Estas novidades, bem como os novos lançamentos de cada marca, a importância dada ao sabor e a uma alimentação saudável, garantem experiências dignas de serem partilhadas e criam condições para uma melhoria da qualidade de vida.

FOCAR AS ENERGIAS NA RELAÇÃO COM O CLIENTE

Uma vez que foram os Clientes que permitiram ao Grupo Ibersol chegar onde chegou - uma entidade incontornável na restauração em Portugal - são também eles a razão de ser do Grupo. É por isso que a Ibersol procura sempre estar à altura das expectativas do Cliente, antecipando tendências, satisfazendo necessidades e apresentando propostas de valor cada vez mais sólidas.

Como resposta a estas novas exigências, aperfeiçoamos, em contínuo, a organização das nossas unidades, os sistemas de informação e a abordagem sistémica que garante a identificação de grandes clusters de consumidores e de segmentos de restaurantes, de acordo com as diferentes envolventes e comportamentos.

É neste sentido que surgiu pela primeira vez, em 2014, o inquérito de satisfação online da Burger King, "minhaexperiencia.com", uma plataforma que permite recolher as opiniões dos Clientes sobre o serviço prestado, visando garantir a constante melhoria do serviço da marca.

Em 2015, o Grupo Ibersol vai alargar esta plataforma a outras marcas, pois é essencial focar as energias na relação com os Clientes.

UMA REDE SOCIAL DE VALOR ACRESCENTADO AO CONSUMIDOR

Viver a experiência do relacionamento com os Clientes é um desafio que o Grupo Ibersol coloca todos os dias aos seus colaboradores, como matriz de uma rede social.

A actividade do Grupo assenta numa rede de relações emocionais e de confiança que se estabelece entre os colaboradores e Clientes, a cada minuto do trabalho.

Pretendemos criar continuamente condições para que a equipa Ibersol seja portadora dessa relação de valor acrescentado com o Cliente – ligando-se, comunicando de forma relevante, com atenção e dedicação. É um princípio que o Grupo pretende ver integrado no seu DNA. Para cumprir esse intuito, investe continuamente nas competências das suas equipas, especialmente dos Gestores de Unidade, dos Gestores de turno e na sua responsabilização pela interacção com o Cliente.

São estes Gestores a nossa linha da frente que permite identificar mais rapidamente as mudanças do perfil de consumo. São estes Gestores que procuram "ler" as expectativas e as realidades em mudança e que as transmitem, para serem incorporadas em novas propostas de valor. O Grupo descentralizou também as valências relacionadas com a Certificação de Qualidade e, neste âmbito, consolidou nos Gestores competências ao nível do conhecimento e verificação das normas de qualidade.

PROCESSOS GLOBAIS DE GESTÃO E PLANEAMENTO LOGÍSTICO

O Grupo Ibersol organizou uma cadeia de abastecimento que garante a qualidade dos produtos que comercializa, desde o fornecimento até à venda, passando pela logística.

É um corpo único, homogéneo, que se agiliza todos os dias através de uma política activa de qualidade e certificação.

A centralização da cadeia de abastecimento que suporta a operação em Portugal e Espanha foi alargada à operação em Angola, possibilitando ganhos de eficiência e produtividade, quer no processo propriamente dito, quer na relação com os parceiros de negócio.

A preocupação de não comprometer a qualidade em função do preço é uma directriz que não comporta excepções. Por isso, através da melhoria contínua dos processos de gestão de recursos e bens, a Ibersol pretende manter relações duradouras e consistentes com os parceiros fornecedores.

Num cenário de particular dificuldade para os agentes económicos, em particular para os fornecedores nacionais, a Ibersol leva a cabo uma política activa de acompanhamento, promovendo o desenvolvimento das suas competências, com especial incidência nos que asseguram o aprovisionamento de produtos específicos taylor made para a operação de algumas marcas.

Em conjunto, pretende-se atingir melhorias de eficiência, com níveis mais elevados de rigor, exigência e competitividade, assumindo um papel activo no desenvolvimento das políticas e práticas dos parceiros e fornecedores, especialmente dos de menor dimensão, abrindo-lhes a possibilidade de expansão aos mercados em que o Grupo opera.

A EXCELÊNCIA NA QUALIDADE E SEGURANÇA

Através de uma política activa de qualidade e certificação, o Grupo Ibersol reforça o seu posicionamento como grande player da restauração. O seu rigor e exigência permitem continuar a trilhar um caminho de excelência.

O Grupo continua a ser reconhecido nas áreas de qualidade das suas operações, serviço ao cliente e segurança alimentar, tendo alcançado um número recorde de certificações, tanto em Portugal como em Angola.

Em 2014, o Grupo viu renovada a norma ISO 22000 – Sistemas de Gestão de Segurança Alimentar – que certifica a Gestão da Cadeia Alimentar das Operações de Restauração do Grupo Ibersol em Portugal. Esta norma foi também atribuída à operação em Angola, certificando o seu operador logístico no Pólo Industrial de Viana e as suas unidades KFC, o que garante ao Grupo uma posição de liderança de mercado no âmbito da restauração em Angola.

A APCER – Associação Portuguesa de Certificação – atribuiu também ao Grupo Ibersol três novas e importantes certificações: ISO 9001, uma norma que certifica os Sistemas de Gestão da Qualidade; ISO 14001, norma que certifica os Sistemas de Gestão Ambiental; e norma ISO 18001, que certifica os Sistemas de Gestão Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho.

Para o Grupo Ibersol, as certificações vêm confirmar e premiar todo o empenho e dedicação que as suas equipas colocam em tudo o que fazem, com o intuito de garantir a satisfação dos seus clientes, bem como elevados padrões de qualidade, os quais se refletem no reconhecimento e aceitação das suas marcas.

Visando a excelência na qualidade e dando informação sobra uma alimentação equilibrada, foi dada continuidade ao programa Viva Bem, razão pela qual se renovou o seu site e se procedeu ao lançamento do Blogue Viva Bem, com o objectivo de criar plataformas que potenciem um maior envolvimento entre o Cliente e as marcas.

Lançado em Dezembro de 2014, o Programa de Alergénios disponibiliza aos clientes, através do Site Viva Bem e de instrumentos disponíveis nos restaurantes do Grupo, informação sobre características específicas dos produtos das marcas (nomeadamente sobre os 14 alergénios de comunicação obrigatória), de modo a permitir uma decisão de consumo informada.

A primeira iniciativa no âmbito do protocolo com a CONFAP (Confederação Nacional de Associações de Pais), – que visa a implementação de um programa de aprendizagem dos princípios da alimentação saudável e da segurança alimentar junto das escolas e respectivos alunos, – ocorreu no dia 16 de Outubro, Dia Mundial da Alimentação. Neste dia, a turma do 8º ano de uma escola visitou quatro restaurantes do Dolce Vita Porto.

A FORMAÇÃO IBERSOL COMO ESCOLA PARA A VIDA

O Grupo Ibersol acredita no potencial dos seus colaboradores e aposta no desenvolvimento das suas competências, criando oportunidades assentes em planos de formação específicos que visam promover a aquisição de novos conhecimentos e a progressão na carreira. Valorizar as pessoas que investem na sua carreira e avaliar o seu potencial e desempenho é uma forma de assegurar que as oportunidades são dadas aos melhores e aos que mais se esforçam para atingir os objectivos.

Para cada estádio de carreira é definido um programa de formação, no qual as pessoas identificadas com potencial poderão desenvolver as competências para o exercício de novas funções. Esta estruturação visa garantir que, em cada momento, cada um dos colaboradores sabe o que se espera de si, bem como os desafios que lhe serão colocados, o que proporciona uma evolução com confiança!

O Grupo Ibersol aposta na formação das suas chefias. Garante-lhes competências de Formador/Coach para que a transmissão de conhecimento das melhores práticas seja feita eficazmente e assegura que estão preparadas para apoiar o desenvolvimento das suas equipas: certificando-as nos programas referentes à função.

Os planos de formação para as Equipas de Direcção compreendem uma componente de formação em sala e de formação On the Job, de forma a que tenham a oportunidade de aplicar os conhecimentos adquiridos e, simultaneamente, conquistar competências reais através da prática em contexto de trabalho – desta forma garantindo o Saber e o Saber Fazer.

Paralelamente, a Ibersol garante o acesso a formações certificadas, para que o valor dos programas formativos seja reconhecido no mercado. Por isso podemos afirmar que a Ibersol é uma Escola para a Vida.

UMA POLÍTICA ACTIVA DE GESTÃO DE RECURSOS E RESPEITO PELO AMBIENTE

Respeitar e melhorar o mundo em que vivemos é uma das máximas do Grupo Ibersol, que se traduz numa política activa de sustentabilidade que se reflecte em tudo o que fazemos. Esta política de boas práticas na gestão dos recursos tem apresentado resultados crescentemente positivos.

É preciso repensar as equipas, as energias consumidas, os consumíveis, os produtos, os desperdícios e, sobretudo, interiorizar uma forte preocupação com a mudança de processos e formas de fazer. Essa realidade tem levado o Grupo a redefinir o perfil do colaborador, optimizando a gestão do tempo, dos processos e dos recursos.

Os colaboradores e equipas do Grupo Ibersol têm formação em gestão racional de água e electricidade, assim como em reciclagem de materiais e óleos alimentares usados, neste último caso através do Programa de Reciclagem de Óleos Alimentares Usados. É também de salientar que todas as empresas do Grupo possuem Certificado Ponto Verde, o que contribui para o progresso do sistema nacional de gestão de resíduos, coordenado pela Sociedade Ponto Verde.

6. Actividade do Exercício

6.1. Restaurantes

Em 2014, a recuperação nos segmentos de oferta da restauração de serviço à mesa (full service) e entrega ao domicilio (delivery) foi ténue quando comparada com a inversão positiva do crescimento no segmento de mercado com serviço ao balcão. A contracção da liquidez, os baixos níveis de confiança e a elevada taxa de desemprego tiveram como consequência a manutenção de um perfil de retracção no consumo, sentida sobretudo nos segmentos de receita média mais elevada.

Apesar destes condicionalismos este segmento totalizou um volume de negócio 67 milhões de euros.

Pizza Hut

A Pizza Hut Portugal consolidou a estratégia internacional da marca tendo mantido a segmentação da gestão dos seus activos em dois negócios: Restaurante e Delivery.

A Pizza Hut Portugal é a marca líder de mercado no segmento de pizzas e está presente em Portugal há 25 anos, mantendo o seu ADN: jovem, fun, actual, moderna, inovadora e irreverente. Possui 94 unidades e 1.760 colaboradores, que lhe garantem uma cobertura de âmbito nacional onde a atenção ao Cliente, desde a experiência e ambiente de loja até à extrema qualidade dos produtos é uma preocupação constante para satisfazer as expectativas e necessidades dos clientes.

Pizza Hut Restaurante

Continuando a política de investimentos na reformulação do parque de lojas, deu início a um importante plano de remodelação da imagem dos seus restaurantes tendo realizado 14 intervenções e investido mais de 1 milhão de euros. O novo design, layout e novas funcionalidades tecnológicas são linhas mestre deste programa que tem como objectivo acompanhar o actual consumidor, uma vez que as redes sociais e o digital são uma realidade cada vez mais presente na experiência de consumo e na sua relação com a marca.

Com a renovação da imagem dos restaurantes foi também introduzido o novo logótipo da Pizza Hut, em alinhamento internacional, com uma imagem mais forte e um grafismo que recupera as cores e o lettering original da marca.

Nesse âmbito, e reforçando o seu programa de inovação e experiências diferentes para os seus clientes, destaca-se o lançamento da nova funcionalidade, o PH@Menu. Trata-se de uma ementa digital que permite ao cliente, comodamente da sua mesa, fazer o pedido, desde a escolha da refeição até ao pedido da conta. Para além disso, e utilizando o sistema de Wi-fi gratuito do restaurante, os clientes podem utilizar a internet, assim como usufruir de jogos, e obter uma experiência marcante nos restaurantes Pizza Hut.

Ainda no âmbito do posicionamento Fun and Friendly, durante o ano de 2014 a marca procedeu ao lançamento de novas especialidades: em Abril a pizza "Creamy Crunchy Crust" e em Novembro a "Hot Dog Cheesy Bites". Apostando em fortes campanhas, a Pizza Hut marcou presença na TV, em vários suportes de comunicação exterior e online. Em Abril com a "Creamy Crunchy Crust", em Julho e Agosto com o Rodízio de Pizzas e em Novembro e Dezembro com a "Hot Dog Cheesy Bites", sendo que todas estas campanhas alcançaram elevado reconhecimento por parte dos clientes.

Tendo em vista o seu posicionamento como restaurante para as famílias e dando resposta ao difícil enquadramento económico, a marca lançou em Janeiro o Menu Pan Lovers a 4,95€ com o suporte de meios externos de comunicação. O elevado reconhecimento pelos clientes conduziu ao relançamento desta campanha em Setembro. Ao longo do ano lançou ainda dois novos menus, o "Creamy Crunchy Caça aos Ovos" e o "Hot Dog Casa de Natal", o que permitiu aos clientes aceder às especialidades "Creamy Crunchy Crust" e "Hot Dog Cheesy Bites" a preços imbatíveis e ainda receber como oferta uma caixa de chocolates para as crianças.

A aposta na valorização das Equipas da Pizza Hut é de crucial importância para o negócio e em 2014 lançou-se uma nova plataforma digital de formação, pioneira no mercado de restauração em Portugal e que permite aos seus colaboradores a formação e certificação em ambiente de e-learning. Esta ferramenta digital proporciona uma maior proximidade dos colaboradores, tornando o processo de formação mais ágil, interactivo e eficaz.

Ainda na área dos processos internos, é de registar a renovação da certificação na exigente norma ISO 22000 das unidades da Foz, Norteshopping, Dolce Vita Porto e Colombo, exemplo do cuidado e exigência que a Equipa da Marca coloca perante a segurança alimentar dos seus consumidores.

Sempre presente junto do target mais jovem, a Pizza Hut marcou novamente presença com a sua unidade móvel nos festivais de verão "Nós Alive" e "Marés Vivas" e foi ainda o principal patrocinador do evento "SkyforAll", organizado pela Federação Portuguesa de Desportos de Inverno, que permitiu proporcionar a mais de mil crianças a sua primeira experiência de esquiar na neve.

A Pizza Hut foi ainda reconhecida este ano como a Marca mais Reputada na categoria de Fast Food em Portugal de acordo com a 4ª edição do MRI – Marktest Reputation Index.

Pizza Hut Delivery

O serviço de entrega em casa da Pizza Hut serve mais de 1.600.000 habitações, garantindo uma cobertura completa nos mercados de maior concentração populacional.

Na sua política de reformulação do parque de unidades, a Pizza Hut Delivery procedeu à reformulação de 9 unidades, o que representou um investimento superior a 400 mil euros.

Num mercado altamente competitivo, a Pizza Hut Delivery lançou também campanhas muito fortes, das quais se destacam o buffet de pizzas por 6,95€; a promoção 2x1; pizzas e menus individuais por 1,99€ e 4,95€ respectivamente; e ainda a promoção Special5 (pizzas médias) por 5€.

A Pizza Hut Delivery posiciona-se no mercado como uma proposta para os momentos de lazer em situações de partilha. Os consumidores procuram produtos inovadores e de qualidade. As pizzas da Pizza Hut utilizam ingredientes frescos, queijo 100% mozzarella e massa produzida diariamente nos restaurantes. Em 2014 a marca continuou a apostar na inovação e lançou várias iniciativas ao longo do ano: "Creamy Crunchy Crust" em Março; "All in one box" em Junho para o Mundial de futebol e a "Ultimate Rolling" em Setembro.

Os Clientes podem efectuar as suas encomendas através das lojas, do centro de atendimento e também no site Pizza Hut. Apesar do centro de atendimento ser o canal responsável pelo maior volume de pedidos, as novas formas de encomenda (internet e "Liga-me grátis") têm vindo a assumir um peso cada vez mais relevante.

A aposta na valorização das Equipas da Pizza Hut é de crucial importância para o negócio e em 2014 lançou-se uma nova plataforma digital de formação, pioneira no mercado de restauração em Portugal e que permite aos seus colaboradores a formação e certificação em ambiente de e-learning. Esta ferramenta digital proporciona uma maior proximidade dos colaboradores, tornando o processo de formação mais ágil, interactivo e eficaz.

Para além da formação é ainda de salientar a manutenção da certificação na norma ISO 22000 da unidade de Matosinhos (como loja especialista e vocacionada na entrega ao domicílio), exemplo do cuidado e exigência que o negócio coloca na segurança alimentar dos seus clientes.

Pizza Móvil

O ano de 2014 foi marcado por uma abordagem estratégica de rejuvenescimento e modernização da marca, uma vez que a quebra do consumo e a crise económica que afectaram Espanha nos últimos sete anos parecem ter dado lugar a uma melhoria do ambiente macroeconómico.

A Pizza Móvil terminou o exercício com 53 unidades e 505 colaboradores. Seguindo a política de rejuvenescimento e modernização da marca, procedemos à remodelação de 11 unidades (que representam 20% do parque total de lojas) e encerramos 3.

No ano transacto, tendo em vista os novos hábitos de consumo, foi lançado um novo site responsivo aos vários equipamentos para potenciar o E-commerce, que veio actualizar a anterior versão 2.0. Realizaram-se também estudos de mercado e de posicionamento da marca nos mercados da Galiza e Astúrias, o que permitiu focar a estratégia nos interesses dos consumidores.

A inovação da marca prosseguiu com o lançamento de novos produtos, como as novas pizzas BBQ Supreme, Bolonhesa, Cabrese y Tabla de Quesos, ou ainda o complemento Pops de Pollo.

Destaca-se também a divulgação da Pizza Móvil junto de um público mais jovem, no apoio ao desporto em categorias de formação, patrocinando as Federações de Futebol da Galiza e Astúrias.

A implantação em 19 unidades da opção de Buffet Livre melhorou a proposta de valor da marca, tendo a sua notoriedade crescido também nas redes sociais, superando os 125.000 fãs no Facebook.

Pasta Caffé

O Pasta Caffé concluiu o ano de 2014 com 160 colaboradores e 12 unidades, tendo encerrado 2 unidades (Dolce Vita Tejo e Via Catarina).

O ano de 2014 deu sinais de alguma recuperação ao nível do consumo privado face aos últimos anos, em que a conjuntura adversa não permitiu gastos extraordinários ao orçamento familiar. Assim, foi possível introduzir diversas inovações, novos lançamentos, novas receitas e até mesmo uma nova identidade.

O restaurante Pasta Caffé do Centro Colombo foi alvo de relocalização no terceiro trimestre do ano, tendo aberto ao público em Agosto, na zona nobre da restauração com serviço à mesa (Praça Central), no segundo piso, com um ambiente mais italiano, onde se distinguem a nova identidade da marca e a proposta gastronómica cada vez mais italiana. No novo restaurante existem espaços com ambientes distintos que proporcionam diferentes experiências: a CUCINA, com grande destaque para os fornos de pedra e a presença permanente do pizzaiolo, de onde saem as pizzas finíssimas e estaladiças; o LIVING, um espaço ideal para um jantar e uma boa conversa a dois, e o ESPAÇO BAMBINI, onde os mais novos dão largas à imaginação enquanto os pais terminam a refeição.

Este ambiente também foi implementado no restaurante do Parque Atlântico, nos Açores, que desde Novembro se apresenta com a nova decoração, mantendo o atendimento personalizado e serviço acolhedor que tão bem o caracterizam.

Também o serviço foi pensado para se ajustar ao ritmo citadino, com um buffet à hora do almoço a pensar nas pessoas com pouco tempo disponível, mas sem dispensarem uma boa refeição italiana cheia de opções, a um preço muito justo.

A grande variedade de entradas, saladas frias e quentes, simples ou compostas, pizzas de massa fina, pastas al dente e sobremesas, tudo à livre disposição, fizeram do buffet a oferta mais apreciada de sempre, possibilitando a criação de maior valor para os clientes e marca no momento de consumo da hora de almoço de semana.

Os restaurantes localizados nos principais shoppings (Norteshopping, Colombo, Vasco da Gama, Arrábidashopping, Almada Fórum e Parque Nascente) disponibilizam esta oferta diferenciadora. No entanto, nos restaurantes onde esta proposta não está implementada, houve a preocupação de rever o "Menu della Casa", com novos pratos e nova imagem de forma a mantê-la atractiva num food-court cada vez mais competitivo.

Em Maio foi apresentada a nova carta com destaque para a família das pizzas com uma selecção de 17 pizzas de massa fina e estaladiça, preparadas artesanalmente a partir de ingredientes autênticos e saborosos. Nesta carta foram incluídas algumas das especialidades criadas para as Temporadas, especialmente as que tiveram uma boa aceitação por parte dos clientes, destacando-se o Tagliatelle Pomodoro e Gamberi, o Risotto ai Gamberetti e Asparagi Verdi, a Bruschetta Pomodoro e Mozzarella e o Cheesecake. Os Menus de Grupo também ganharam um espaço próprio de divulgação, estando em destaque na última página da carta.

As Temporadas foram mantidas em 2014, com novos lançamentos e novas receitas com grande aceitação por parte dos consumidores: "Especialidades de Inverno", com a assinatura do Chef Luís Américo, "Temporada de Pizzas", "Temporada do Risotto" e "Especialidades de Bacalhau" foram as 4 temporadas do ano, que se traduziram em experiências marcantes e bons momentos de convívio, reforçando o posicionamento deste ristorante italiano.

Os Dias Especiais foram comemorados com grande intensidade nos restaurantes Pasta Caffé, especialmente o Dia dos Namorados, que atingiu o recorde de vendas do ano e o record do maior número de jarros de sangria de frutos vermelhos vendidos.

O Dia do Pai, o Dia da Mãe e o Dia da Criança, cuja campanha de Dia da Criança se manteve por todo o mês de Junho com a oferta do Menu Bambino, foram igualmente celebrados.

Nos restaurantes de rua foram festejados o S. João (Cais de Gaia) e a Passagem de Ano (Docas e Cais de Gaia) com muita alegria e boa disposição.

No dia 18 de Setembro a marca comemorou 18 anos, atingindo a maioridade e, por esse motivo, foi lançada uma acção promocional em todos os restaurantes, que durou 5 semanas, com o mote "No dia em que chegámos à idade do juízo, perdemos a cabeça: às 5ªs feiras, qualquer pizza da carta por 5€, ao jantar".

Para além dos investimentos em comunicação exterior, manteve-se a comunicação em suportes digitais, com ofertas promocionais em newsletters, nas plataformas de compra colectiva e com a divulgação de promoções em sites especializados. A página de Facebook da marca já ultrapassa os 15.000 fãs.

Nos restaurantes de maior visibilidade investiu-se num serviço hospitaleiro e acolhedor, com hostess a captar e acolher os clientes à porta, dando as boas-vindas a todos os que entram nesta "Casa di Famiglia".

Em 2014 manteve-se a recertificação nos processos de Formação da marca "Desenvolver Gestores", "Higiene e Segurança Alimentar" e " Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho" de todos os colaboradores que asseguram a Gestão de Turno e a Direcção de Unidade. As unidades do Dolce Vita Porto e do Norteshopping foram ainda recertificadas na norma de qualidade APCER ISO 22000.

No âmbito do processo de Responsabilidade Social, o Pasta Caffé participou em vários projectos de ligação à comunidade, tendo integrado 13 estagiários do curso "Técnico de Restauração" de cinco instituições diferentes: Escola ENSINUS, Projecto Porto Futuro, Escola GTI – Gestão, Tecnologia e Inovação, S.A., Escola Metamorphose e Escola do Cerco, perfazendo um total de 2.700 horas.

No Dia Mundial da Alimentação, o restaurante do Dolce Vita Porto foi visitado por 5 alunos da CONFAP, no âmbito do programa "Pequenos Grandes Chefes", que teve por objectivo transmitir os princípios da alimentação saudável, promovendo uma experiência única na preparação e confecção dos alimentos. No final cada participante recebeu um diploma.

Ainda através da campanha do Grupo "Graças a muitos" em parceria com o Banco Alimentar, o Pasta Caffé envolveu as suas equipas na vontade de fazer sempre melhor e angariou uma importante soma de donativos.

6.2.Counters

O conjunto das marcas que o Grupo Ibersol opera no segmento Counters terminou o exercício de 2014 com um volume de negócio de 97 milhões de euros.

KFC Portugal

A KFC conta já com 19 anos de história em Portugal e com a inerente ligação à vida e obra do seu criador - o mítico Coronel Sanders - e à sua preciosa herança de cozinha: a busca incessante pela qualidade e o sabor único da famosa receita original da marca.

Este é o segredo do Frango KFC: pedaços inteiros de frango, provenientes de produtores nacionais, cozinhados no momento, em cada restaurante.

Em linha com as orientações internacionais, em 2014 solidificamos a apropriação da assinatura "So Good", um posicionamento definido para todo o mundo que enaltece a originalidade e a herança da marca, traduzida ao nível do produto, da imagem dos restaurantes e da comunicação.

A marca deu também continuidade ao reforço do investimento em comunicação exterior aos projectos "Music is sogood" (presença nos principais eventos de música do país) e "Vencer é sogood" (dinamização da parceria com o piloto Fernando Peres).

A gama de produto alcançou também novas dimensões no ano transacto com a expansão do negócio de Partilha e Take Away (Buckets). Ao nível dos Menus, reforçou-se a notoriedade das marcas dos produtos Tower, B.O.S.S e BoxMaster..

2014 foi o ano da estreia do novo serviço de refill grátis de bebidas, primeiramente no restaurante do Fórum Algarve e posteriormente nos principais restaurantes, uma inovação que agradou sobremaneira aos fãs da marca.

Ao nível da formação e certificação das equipas, 2014 foi ainda o ano da implantação da formação através da plataforma "Learning Zone" que permite, num único local, o acesso a todas as actividades relacionadas com o processo de formação.

Em todos os restaurantes mantemos uma permanente atenção a tudo o que impacte com o ambiente e a sustentabilidade, visível, nomeadamente pela adesão ao programa de controlo dos consumos de energia, que visa a sua redução pela aplicação das melhores práticas do sector. Contando já com 5 anos, este projecto continua a promover a melhoria dos processos e procedimentos internos, e todos estes ensinamentos vão sendo adoptados por toda a rede de restaurantes KFC, sempre em prol da melhoria da qualidade do produto e do serviço.

É ainda digno de nota o facto de terem sido novamente certificados, na norma ISO 22000, os restaurantes do Dolce Vita Porto, Norteshopping, Colombo, Vasco da Gama, Fórum Almada e Cascaishopping.

KFC Angola

O ano de 2014 marcou o segundo ano completo da operação da KFC no mercado angolano.

Durante o exercício foi inaugurada uma quarta unidade localizada no Morro Bento, à entrada de Talatona.

Os restaurantes continuaram a operar nos moldes evidenciados nos anos anteriores, tendo a abertura desta quarta unidade afectado a performance das unidades que já operavam, sintoma de que a dimensão do mercado ainda é limitada.

Mantivemos uma presença regular em meios de comunicação externa de forma a elevar o awareness da marca e captar a atenção dos nossos clientes.

A juventude da nossa operação determina um grande esforço de formação dos quadros de forma a garantir que os seus conhecimentos incrementem, possam realizar as respectivas tarefas com mais autonomia e consigam ascender a posições superiores.

Durante o exercício, os restaurantes e o operador logístico obtiveram a certificação na norma ISO 22000. Esta certificação demonstra um firme empenho, característico da KFC, em cumprir as normas mais exigentes de Segurança Alimentar, garantindo o mais elevado padrão de qualidade aos consumidores.

Conforme referido anteriormente, a Ibersol definiu que após a inauguração do quinto restaurante procederia à avaliação da operação, em função da evolução das vendas e da reacção dos consumidores e definiria as traves mestras da evolução futura.

Ò Kilo

O Ò Kilo terminou o exercício com 4 unidades depois do encerramento de 2 unidades em 2014. Um dos encerramentos, no Centro Colombo, deu lugar à abertura de uma nova unidade MiiT.

Especializado em Carnes no Churrasco, o Ò Kilo visa satisfazer os consumidores que procuram uma alimentação variada e saudável, com um serviço rápido e em localizações de conveniência.

O cliente pode optar por várias ofertas e combinações de preço fixo, baseadas em carnes e legumes grelhados que lhe permitem uma escolha variada, apetitosa e saudável, de acordo com o seu gosto.

Uma vez que para o Ò Kilo a qualidade dos produtos é um factor crítico de sucesso, a selecção de matérias-primas e de fornecedores adquirem uma importância especial.

No ano de 2014, a marca procurou adaptar a sua oferta de preço às pretensões dos clientes e ao posicionamento competitivo dos concorrentes mais directos.

Consciente da crescente relevância da segurança alimentar, a marca reforçou a formação contínua dos seus colaboradores no sistema de HACCP, principalmente ao nível do controlo de produto, higiene das instalações e manipulação dos alimentos. Renovou-se também a certificação da loja do Dolce Vita Antas.

MiiT

Em 2014 integra 64 colaboradores e encerrou o exercício com 4 unidades, encontrando-se presente no Norteshopping, no Centro Vasco da Gama, no Cascaishopping e no Centro Colombo.

Inserindo-se no vasto leque de ofertas de restauração, no competitivo segmento de balcão nos centros comerciais, o MiiT apresenta uma proposta de valor centrada em fortes factores de diferenciação, posicionando-se como "a alternativa saudável e equilibrada".

Especialista em carne grelhada, a insígnia MiiT pretende ser uma referência, constituindo-se como uma opção saborosa e de qualidade, traduzida na autenticidade das suas carnes. Para complementar esta oferta o MiiT proporciona acompanhamentos únicos como fruta e legumes grelhados, batata rústica ou arroz aromatizado. Os molhos são também uma especialidade. São confeccionados com os melhores ingredientes, desde cogumelos selvagens a pimenta rosa, passando por mel e alho, tendo em vista a possibilidade de o consumidor poder escolher aquilo que prefere. Também as sobremesas são inovadoras e apresentadas em forma de shots.

Na oferta de bebidas destacam-se o sumo de fruta natural, a groselha, a limonada fresca, e o chá gelado. Como complemento destas bebidas, a marca apresenta ainda uma selecção de vinho DOC alentejano, vendido a copo.

Criar um menu é muito simples: escolher uma carne para grelhar, dois acompanhamentos e um molho. O cliente pode, por exemplo, escolher um acompanhamento de fruta ou legumes grelhados, que preservam e destacam o sabor e a qualidade do grelhado no momento da sua confecção.

O MiiT é um conceito que responde a uma tendência dos consumidores portugueses que estão cada vez mais conscientes da necessidade e importância de fazerem uma alimentação saudável e equilibrada.

Burger King Portugal

O ano de 2014 caracterizou-se por um forte crescimento de vendas tendo os restaurantes Burger King, operados pelo Grupo Ibersol, terminado o ano com 634 colaboradores no activo. A marca terminou o exercício com 44 unidades, dos quais 5 novos restaurantes. Estas 5 novas unidades localizam-se em Matosinhos, Braga, Açores (Ponta Delgada), Viseu (Fórum Viseu) e Loures (Flamenga). À excepção da unidade de Viseu, que dispõe apenas de sistema de refill de bebidas, as restantes unidades proporcionam drive thru, playking virtual e também sistema de refill de bebidas. Este sistema está implementado em 48% das unidades da marca.

A marca investiu também na colocação do Playking Virtual nas novas unidades, pois neste espaço os clientes mais pequenos podem jogar muitos jogos interactivos que são renovados trimestralmente.

Através do programa internacional de formação BK Foundations, as equipas consolidaram um bom desempenho operacional, muito assentes no bom desempenho das unidades escola.

A "minhaexperiencia.com", um inquérito de satisfação online, foi uma plataforma essencial e inovadora na interacção com o mercado, tanto assim é que alguns players seguem já o exemplo da Burger King. Esta plataforma constituiu-se como uma mais-valia, pois permitiu à Burger King assegurar a constante melhoria do seu serviço. A marca ofereceu um "Whopper" ou um "Long Chicken" na compra de batatas e bebida a quem respondesse a este inquérito.

Como já vem sendo hábito, a marca manteve uma forte vertente de inovação, com o lançamento de novos produtos no segmento do hamburger gourmet, segmento este onde foi pioneira e onde é especialista.

Destaca-se o temático e diferenciador "BEANBURGER", que já conta com os seus fãs incondicionais, e que só a Burger King oferece. Este produto revela uma vez mais a atenção da marca para com o segmento dos produtos vegetarianos.

Durante o ano a Burger King reforçou ainda duas plataformas de produto: a gama de sobremesas, através do lançamento dos "Smoothies & Frappés" e de novos sabores, de que é exemplo a OREO Cake; e as novas "batatas Satisfries", com menos 30% de gordura.

A Burger King aumentou o nível de investimento em comunicação exterior especificamente nos canais generalistas de televisão, no reforço de MUPIs a nível nacional; em outdoors (Coimbra, Covilhã, Vila Real, Aveiro, Cascais, Braga, Viseu, Açores, Matosinhos e Loures) e através do Local Store Marketing. Estes foram os meios aplicados na comunicação da marca ao mercado, apresentando propostas de value, produto e preço com as plataformas 3,95€ e 1€.

Na Burger King o cliente pode solicitar, sempre que quiser, uma visita às cozinhas para conhecer as políticas de qualidade da marca e o cuidado que se coloca na confecção de todas as refeições, evidenciado pelo facto da marca ter as suas unidades certificadas na mais exigente norma de qualidade APCER, a norma ISO 22 000.

Tendo em conta a política ambiental da marca, que visa diminuir os impactos junto do meio ambiente, as sanduíches são embaladas em papel reciclado; o óleo de fritura das lojas é destinado à reciclagem, tornando-se em biodiesel; e procedemos à separação de resíduos nas unidades.

É também de notar que a Burger King faz parte do programa institucional Viva Bem, do Grupo Ibersol, um programa sobre informação nutricional e alimentação saudável e equilibrada.

O ano de 2014 é também digno de destaque pois a Iberking, empresa que gere a Burger King, foi distinguida, num universo de aproximadamente 300.000 empresas, como a melhor PME do norte de Portugal, nos Prémios Excelência 2013 às Melhores Empresas do Norte de Portugal. Estes prémios premeiam o crescimento do volume de negócios, a rentabilidade dos capitais, a produtividade real e a criação de emprego e autonomia financeira.

Burger King Espanha

A operação da Burger King Espanha, desenvolvida pelo Grupo Ibersol através da Lurca, terminou o ano de 2014 com 644 colaboradores e 33 unidades, tendo sido relocalizada uma das unidades de Palência.

A estratégia da marca em 2014 baseou-se numa aposta em campanhas de value e em plataformas já desenvolvidas anteriormente que se consolidaram ao longo de 2014: o "King Ahorro (King Poupança), o Euroking (produtos com o custo de 1€)", os Cupões e as ofertas nas Aplicações Móveis (a app da Burger King Espanha já foi descarregada mais de um milhão de vezes). Por outro lado, desenvolveram-se acções de marketing local focadas na venda de menus grandes e aumentou-se a variedade da gama de produtos com seis grandes lançamentos.

A nova plataforma de formação, BK GURU, foi implementada em todos os restaurantes, traduzindo-se no desenvolvimento de conteúdos interactivos com 18 módulos de formação para diferentes postos de trabalhos. Foi também criado, em todas as unidades, um espaço de aprendizagem com um computador, cuja função é apenas a de expor estes conteúdos, sendo que todos os funcionários foram certificados nesta formação básica.

Através do Guest Trac (inquérito de satisfação online), as opiniões dos clientes tornaram-se cada vez mais importantes para o negócio, passando a ser um factor muito relevante aquando da elaboração de planos de acção e valorização dos resultados de cada unidade. Bons ou maus os indicadores que se conseguem analisar através da utilização desta ferramenta estão directamente relacionados com as vendas e, consequentemente, com o sucesso do negócio.

A área das reclamações teve maior relevância do que noutros anos. O consumidor transmitiu as suas opiniões, não só através do Livro de Reclamações (no restaurante) mas também através da página de Atendimento ao Cliente. A marca procura fazer um acompanhamento muito mais abrangente e rigoroso das reclamações dos clientes, com o objectivo de esclarecer responsabilidades e corrigir os erros.

No mês de Novembro iniciamos um teste do serviço de entrega ao domicílio em duas unidades: Talavera (em Talavera de la Reina) e Torreón (em Ciudad Real). Os bons resultados e aceitação por parte dos clientes conduziram a que se alargasse a implementação a mais restaurantes de Espanha.

Pans&Company

A Pans&Company terminou o ano de 2014 com 51 unidades e 406 colaboradores.

Durante o exercício, e prosseguindo com o novo ciclo de renovação de activos implementou o novo conceito de restaurante, inspirado nos ambientes e sabores mediterrânicos, nas unidades dos centros comerciais Vasco da Gama, Gaiashopping e Dolce Vita Antas.

Ao longo do ano, e de modo a continuar a afirmar-se como a marca de referência no seu segmento, a Pans&Company consolidou a sua aposta na inovação através da criação de novas famílias de produtos. Neste âmbito, destacam-se os lançamentos das famílias "Rustiks" e "Mitiks", que acrescentaram à proposta Pans&Company novos tipos de pão e combinações de ingredientes surpreendentes, transformando-se rapidamente na opção preferida de uma parte significativa dos clientes. Destaca-se ainda o lançamento da família "Pans & Moments", com uma gama variada de produtos para o pequeno-almoço e lanche, que aumentou de forma muito relevante a oferta da marca para estes momentos de consumo.

O ano de 2014 fica ainda marcado por uma intensa actividade promocional. Destacam-se a este nível as campanhas "Toma 4" e "Revolution Week", campanhas com ofertas muito competitivas e formatos inovadores, cuja comunicação foi reforçada com investimentos em meios above the line, o que contribuiu para a consolidação dos níveis de notoriedade da marca.

6.3.Outros Negócios

O conjunto de outros negócios do Grupo Ibersol apresenta as propostas para os consumidores em diferentes ocasiões de consumo: em viagens – diferentes conceitos e ofertas em Aeroportos, comboios e estações de serviço – em pequenas pausas em cafetarias e, em diferentes concessões, na oferta em diferentes pontos de lazer das principais cidades ou em eventos com as propostas de catering. O Grupo Ibersol encerra assim a sua estratégia de conceito multi-marca.

O Volume de venda deste grupo de negócios totalizou 23 milhões de euros.

Áreas de Serviço

As áreas de serviço de auto-estradas constituem um segmento de actividade relevante para o Grupo Ibersol, que no final do exercício abrangia 33 unidades, 23 unidades da marca SOL e as restantes 10 distribuídas pela A5, A8, Lusoponte, Carvalhos e Modivas.

Este segmento de negócio continua a ser fortemente prejudicado pela introdução de portagens nas ex-scuts e consequente redução do tráfego.

A marca SOL é especialista em restauração nas auto-estradas urbanas e de longo curso através de unidades de design moderno e funcionais, com propostas alimentares adaptadas às necessidades dos consumidores e com serviços que vão muito além dos café-restaurantes convencionais das áreas de serviço. Face aos perfis diversificados de quem visita as unidades SOL, a marca está preparada para oferecer uma boa experiência a todos eles.

As unidades SOL caracterizam-se também pela oferta de refeições rápidas e menus variados, com preços acessíveis, preparados no momento, sempre com um atendimento personalizado e atento. Em várias localizações as unidades integram marcas internacionais de reconhecida notoriedade como Pans&Company, Burger King e KFC, todas elas abrangidas pelo plano de certificação global com a certificação ISO 22000, exigente padrão internacional de segurança alimentar.

As unidades SOL disponibilizam ainda serviços como a existência de áreas específicas para fumadores, fraldário independente, zona lounge, wi-fi gratuito, tomadas para carregamento de computadores ou telemóveis, jornais diários para consulta, venda de jornais, revistas e presentes de última hora, assim como drive-in.

Aeroportos

O Grupo Ibersol é um player de referência nos aeroportos portugueses, estando presente nos aeroportos de Lisboa, Ponta Delgada e Funchal com 15 pontos de venda, através de conceitos próprios – Spoon, Clocks, Go To Café, Oregano, Cockpit Drinks&Tapas, Specially Good to Go, Connetion, SkyPlaza – e de marcas internacionais como a Pizza Hut e a Pans&Company.

Catering

O negócio de catering é desenvolvido pelas marcas Silva Carvalho Catering e Palace Catering, tendo dois centros de produção e dois armazéns, em Albarraque e na Maia. A partir destes dois centros foram preparados, cumprindo todas as normas de higiene e segurança alimentar, mais de 800 eventos que permitiram servir mais de 382.000 clientes.

O Catering é particularmente exigente pois o cumprimento das normas de higiene e segurança alimentar num elevado número de eventos com o compromisso de produzir refeições de qualidade excepcional com técnicas criativas e inovadoras, obriga à mobilização dos esforços de uma equipa alargada que não descansa até saber que o cliente ficou inteiramente satisfeito com o serviço prestado.

O facto de as nossas cozinhas estarem certificadas pela norma ISO 22000, a mais exigente em segurança alimentar aplicável ao sector da restauração, é a prova do nosso esforço e dedicação.

O Grupo Ibersol é o único grupo empresarial do sector com uma cobertura verdadeiramente nacional. A evolução do volume de vendas assenta em muito no mercado de Lisboa, nas operações realizadas no estádio do Dragão e no Centro de Congressos de Lisboa.

A ligeira recuperação de vendas resultou da realização de alguns eventos de grande dimensão e de uma melhoria de performance no mercado de casamentos e eventos de carácter particular. No segmento de mercado dos eventos empresarias verificou-se igualmente uma ligeira retoma.

A reestruturação iniciada em 2011 e o rigor no controlo de custos permitiu obter melhorias significativas nos resultados de 2014.

Sendo os eventos de catering de média e grande dimensão planeados com alguma antecedência, esperamos que venha a ocorrer, novamente, um ligeiro crescimento em 2015, nomeadamente no segmento de mercado dos congressos e conferências.

Assim sendo, o ano de 2015 será um ano exigente mas com boas perspectivas. Paralelamente, a agenda de congressos e conferências nos principais centros do país permite antecipar um ano de razoável retoma, exigindo de nós uma grande capacidade para ir ao encontro das necessidades dos clientes.

Encaramos o novo ano de 2015 com a mesma prudência com que entrámos no ano de 2014, atentos aos sinais do mercado e procurando sempre ajustar a nossa estrutura operacional de forma a consolidar e aumentar a nossa quota de mercado.

Quiosques de Café

Os quiosques de café, explorados de forma autónoma ou integrados em outras unidades do grupo, têm reforçado, ao longo dos anos, o seu posicionamento como especialistas em café.

Inseridos em centros comerciais de alto tráfego, e operando com café da marca Delta, a rede de quiosques terminou o ano com 9 unidades, a que correspondem 17 pontos de contacto com os clientes. A quebra de vendas de café a que se assistiu nos últimos anos, induzida pela proibição generalizada de fumar dentro de áreas fechadas, bem como o incremento da concorrência, foram contrariadas através da diversificação da gama de venda e da introdução de pequenos menus que complementam, com sucesso, a resposta às necessidades dos clientes.

Em 2014 procedemos à remodelação de imagem das unidades que apresentavam maior desgaste, nomeadamente da que está localizada no Norteshopping, com colocação de esplanada, o que veio a ter um impacto significativo na captação de novos clientes.

O ano foi muito focado na consolidação da formação das equipas de venda, nomeadamente em técnicas de atendimento, segurança alimentar e saúde no trabalho. Esta equipa, que contava no final do ano com 88 colaboradores, encontra-se certificada nas áreas de conhecimento mais relevantes para um bom desempenho das tarefas que lhe são exigidas.

O Grupo opera sob contratos de concessão as seguintes unidades: Museu de Serralves, Casa da Música, Biblioteca Almeida Garrett, VOG Tecmaia, Exponor e Estação CP de Campanhã.

No final do exercício, a equipa era composta por 41 colaboradores. Durante o ano de 2014 demos particular ênfase à formação da equipa de colaboradores em atendimento, na qualidade e no controlo de operações. Em paralelo, procedemos ao lançamento de menus mais competitivos que permitiram ganhar novas franjas de mercado, nos segmentos em que operamos e, assim, valorizar a proposta de valor.

Atendendo a que todas as unidades que compõem este negócio têm características muito diferenciadas, não só pelo público que as frequenta, como também pelas necessidades que visam suprir, é fundamental identificar qual o público utilizador e aquilo que ele procura em cada momento de consumo. Uma vez feita esta identificação, há que conceber uma oferta ajustada que permita dar resposta a essas expectativas, procurando superá-las sempre que possível, para o que é necessário uma equipa treinada e com formação adequada, o que tem constituído uma prioridade.

No final do ano, as unidades Blue Café, em Campanhã, e VOG, mantinham-se certificadas na norma de qualidade ISO 22000. Adicionalmente, e de forma pioneira no Grupo, a unidade VOG conseguiu obter as certificações nas normas ISO 9001, ISO 14001 e OHSAS 18001.

7. Análise financeira consolidada

RESULTADOS OPERACIONAIS

Os proveitos operacionais consolidados ascenderam a 189,5 milhões de euros o que representou um crescimento de 8,7% relativamente ao ano de 2013. A margem EBITDA, para o mesmo período, ascendeu a 25,4 milhões de euros, correspondendo a um aumento de 37,7%. Os resultados operacionais atingiram 10,9 milhões de euros, com um acréscimo de 69,9% em relação ao período homólogo.

Vendas e Outros Proveitos Operacionais

O volume de negócios consolidado totalizou no final do ano 187,5 milhões de euros, o que representa um crescimento de 8,7% relativamente ao ano de 2013.

O volume de negócios repartiu-se da forma seguinte:

Milhões de euros Var 14/13
Vendas Restauração
Vendas Mercadorias
184,6
2,2
9,5%
-31,3%
Prestação Serviços 0,663 7,9%
Volume Negócios 187,5 8,7%

A redução das vendas de mercadorias adveio da alteração no circuito de aprovisionamento da operação Angola verificada no último trimestre de 2014. O grupo passou a ser o importador e detentor das existências não existindo transação de mercadorias com entidade externa.

As vendas de restauração que ascenderam a 184,6 milhões de euros registaram um acréscimo anual de 9,5% que se decompõe por segmentos da forma seguinte:

VENDAS RESTAURAÇÃO Milhões de euros Var 14/13
Restaurantes 65.1 0.1%
Balcões 97.0 14,0%
Outros 22.6 21,3%
Volume Negócios 184.6 9.5%

Verificou-se uma recuperação das vendas em todos os segmentos com os conceitos de ticket mais elevado a evidenciarem maiores dificuldades.

A necessidade de uma constante avaliação do portfólio de pontos de venda conduziu à decisão do encerramento de 11 unidades. Com o mercado a dar sinais de recuperação foi dada continuidade a um plano de expansão seletivo concretizado em 9 aberturas, pelo que no final do ano operávamos 300 unidades próprias em Portugal, 67 em Espanha e 4 em Angola.

No termo do exercício, o número total de unidades – próprias e franquiadas – era de 391 com a distribuição seguinte:

Nº Unidades 2013 2014 2014

Os outros proveitos operacionais ascenderam a 2,2 milhões de euros, dos quais a componente mais significativa respeita às comparticipações dos fornecedores em campanhas de marketing. Esta componente de proveitos que nos últimos anos tinha vindo a diminuir pela substituição das comparticipações de fornecedores por reduções nos preços de compra, registou em 2014 um crescimento em linha com a evolução das vendas.

Custos operacionais

Os custos operacionais consolidados atingiram o montante de 178,5 milhões de euros, o que representa um aumento de 6,4% face ao ano anterior, diminuindo o seu peso nas vendas.

Margem bruta

O CEVC (custo das mercadorias e matérias primas vendidas e consumidas) manteve-se em 23,6% do volume de negócios, evidenciando uma grande estabilidade apesar da grande pressão sobre os preços de venda registada no mercado de restauração.

A margem bruta sobre o volume de negócios foi neste exercício de 76,4%, valor idêntico ao registado no ano passado.

Remunerações e encargos com pessoal

Os custos com pessoal aumentaram em 2,8 milhões de euros e ascenderam a 57,9 milhões de euros. O crescimento de 5,1 % foi o necessário para acompanhar o aumento de actividade. O peso desta rubrica que no ano de 2013 tinha atingido 32,0% passou em 2014 para 30,9% do volume de negócios.

Fornecimentos e Serviços Externos

Os custos em FSEs (Fornecimentos e Serviços Externos) ascenderam a 60,7 milhões de euros, face a 58,3 milhões de euros em 2013, equivalente a um crescimento de 4,2%.

Consequentemente, o peso desta rubrica passou de 33,8% para 32,4% do volume de negócios. O aumento dos preços da energia e o incremento nos custos de marketing foram compensados pela rigorosa austeridade imposta na gestão dos restantes gastos gerais.

Outros Custos Operacionais

Os outros custos operacionais cifraram-se em 1,5 milhões de euros e incorporam cerca de 330 mil de euros correspondentes aos custos de encerramento de algumas unidades durante o exercício.

O imposto de selo e outras taxas, em 2014, ascenderam a 562 mil euros e as provisões para clientes cerca de 421 mil euros.

Amortizações e Perdas de Imparidade

As amortizações e perdas por imparidade do exercício totalizaram 14,5 milhões de euros, um aumento de 2,5 milhões de euros face a 2013, passando a representar 7,7% do volume de negócios. As perdas por imparidade dos activos tangíveis e intangíveis reconhecidas neste exercício atingiram o montante de 4,7 milhões de euros, ou seja mais 2,2 milhões que o valor registado em 2013.

EBITDA

O EBITDA no período ascendeu a 25,4 milhões de euros que compara com 18,4 milhões de euros atingidos no ano anterior. A recuperação das vendas verificada na Península Ibérica e a exploração de mais um restaurante em Angola foram determinantes para o crescimento de 37,7% do EBITDA consolidado.

O aumento do volume de negócios e a dinâmica de redução de custos conduziram a uma recuperação da margem EBITDA que passou de 10,7%, em 2013, para 13,5% em 2014.

RESULTADO FINANCEIRO

O Custo de Financiamento Líquido do exercício foi negativo em 1,8 milhões de euros, sofreu um decréscimo em cerca de 420 mil euros face ao ano de 2013. A redução do custo do financiamento líquido decorreu fundamentalmente da redução das taxas de remuneração dos empréstimos que compensou o aumento dos financiamentos em Angola cujo custo nominal é muito superior ao da média do Grupo.

Os juros suportados atingiram o montante de 1,7 milhões de euro, o que corresponde a um custo médio da dívida de 4,3%.

RESULTADO LÍQUIDO CONSOLIDADO

O resultado consolidado antes de impostos atingiu o montante de 9,0 milhões de euros, o que representa um aumento de 4,9 milhões de euros, ou seja, um crescimento de 117%.

Imposto sobre o rendimento

O imposto efectivo em 2014 é de 2,8 milhões de euros, quando em 2013 foi de 0,9 milhões de euros, acompanhando a evolução dos resultados e a utilização dos reportes fiscais disponíveis. No cálculo do imposto não foi relevada a dedução do crédito fiscal RFAI referente ao exercício de 2014, por ainda estarem em fase de avaliação os critérios de aplicabilidade.

Por efeito dos impostos diferidos, o montante de imposto total que releva para apuramento do Resultado Liquido ascende a um montante de 1,1 milhões euros, que corresponde a uma taxa de 12,5%.

Resultado Consolidado do Exercício

O resultado líquido consolidado do exercício ascendeu a 7,92 milhões de euros, que compara com o registado em 2013 no montante de 3,70 milhões de euros, o que representa um aumento de 114%.

Os interesses não controlados respeitam essencialmente à parcela de minoritários directos e indirectos da filial Ibersande (Pans&Cª) e ascenderam a 159 mil euros.

O resultado líquido consolidado atribuível a Accionistas ascendeu a 7,76 milhões de euros, valor superior ao de 2013 em 117%.

SITUAÇÃO FINANCEIRA

Balanço

O Activo consolidado atingiu um montante de 220 milhões de euros em 31 de Dezembro de 2014, o que representa um aumento em cerca de 2 milhões de euros em relação ao final de 2013.

Este aumento líquido resultou essencialmente das rubricas de imobilizado e da redução das aplicações e que de forma mais detalhada corresponde às seguintes contribuições:

(i) redução do imobilizado técnico referente às amortizações e imparidade do exercício (cerca de -14 milhões euros);

(ii) investimento nos planos de expansão, especialmente Burger King e KFC (cerca +16 milhões euros);

(iii) remodelações e investimentos diversos em Portugal e Espanha (cerca de + 7 milhões de euros);

(iv) encerramento de unidades (cerca de -0,6 milhões de euros);

(v) aumento das dividas de terceiros (cerca de + 0,9 milhões de euros);

(vi) aumento de existências (+0.9 milhões de euros) em virtude da necessidade de maiores stocks em Angola

(vi) redução de disponibilidades (cerca de -8,5 milhões de euros)

O Passivo consolidado atingiu um montante de 93 milhões de euros em 31 de Dezembro de 2014, o que representa uma redução de 5 milhões de euros em relação ao final de 2013.

Em 31 de Dezembro de 2014, o Capital Próprio ascendia a 126 milhões de euros, um aumento de 7 milhões de euros em relação ao final de 2013, tendo-se distribuído, no exercício, a título de dividendos cerca de 1,0 milhão de euros.

CAPEX

Em 2014, o CAPEX atingiu o montante de 23,5 milhões de euros, correspondendo ao investimento em:

  • expansão: 9 novos restaurantes abertos e obras em curso para outros dois com aberturas previstas em 2015 (16,4 milhões de euros);

  • remodelação: 18 unidades em Portugal e Espanha (4,5 milhões de euros)

  • diversos correntes totalizaram 2,6 milhões de euros.

Ocorreu ainda desinvestimento, por encerramento, de 11 unidades (8 em Portugal e 3 em Espanha).

O cash flow gerado no exercício atingiu o montante de 22,4 milhões de euros, valor quase suficiente para a cobertura financeira do CAPEX.

Dívida Liquida consolidada

No final do exercício, o endividamento líquido remunerado ascendia a 25,3 milhões de euros, cerca de 1 milhão de euros superior à dívida no final de 2013 (24,4 milhões de euros). O endividamento bancário de curto prazo é constituído por emissões de Programa de Papel Comercial com possibilidades de denúncia em 2015 e divida de médio longo prazo cujo vencimento ocorrerá em 2015.

O "gearing" (dívida líquida/(dívida líquida+capital próprio)) que no final de 2013 era de 17,0% baixou para 16,7%.

O indicador "Dívida líquida sobre o EBITDA" no final de 2013 era de 1,0 vezes (1,3 vezes em 2013) e o rácio de cobertura dos juros pelo EBITDA era de 14,7 vezes (compara com 7,3 em 2013).

A estrutura financeira do Grupo continua a apresentar uma forte solidez.

8. Riscos e incertezas

A gestão do risco, sendo uma das componentes da cultura do Grupo, é transversal à Organização, está presente em todos os processos e é da responsabilidade de todos os gestores e colaboradores nos diferentes níveis organizacionais.

A gestão de risco é desenvolvida tendo como objectivo a criação de valor, através da gestão e controlo das incertezas e ameaças que podem afectar os negócios do Grupo, numa perspectiva de continuidade das operações, tendo em vista o aproveitamento das oportunidades de negócio.

No âmbito do planeamento estratégico são identificados e avaliados os riscos do portfolio dos negócios existentes, bem como do desenvolvimento de novos negócios e dos projectos mais relevantes e definidas as estratégias de gestão desses riscos.

No plano operacional, são identificados e avaliados os riscos de gestão dos objectivos de cada negócio e planeadas acções de gestão desses riscos, que são incluídas e monitorizadas no âmbito dos planos dos negócios e das unidades funcionais.

De forma a garantir a conformidade dos procedimentos estabelecidos é efectuada regularmente a avaliação dos principais sistemas de controlo interno do grupo.

O controlo interno e o acompanhamento dos sistemas de controlo interno são conduzidos pela Comissão Executiva. Por especificidades do Negócio existem áreas de risco que destacamos:

  • Qualidade, higiene alimentar e segurança no trabalho
  • Diversificação de mercados
  • Financeiro
  • Ambiental

Operando no ramo alimentar, eventuais epidemias ou distorções nos mercados das matériasprimas e eventuais alterações do padrão de consumo podem acarretar importantes impactos nas demonstrações financeiras.

9. Acções próprias

Durante o exercício a sociedade não efectuou transacções com acções próprias. Em 31 de Dezembro de 2014, a sociedade mantinha 2.000.000 acções (10% do capital), com valor nominal de 1€ cada, por um valor global de aquisição de 11.179.643 euros.

10. Nota sobre a actividade do Membro Não Executivo do C.A.

O Membro Não Executivo do Conselho de Administração da Ibersol, Professor Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero, participou em 6 reuniões do Conselho de Administração, ou seja em 100% das reuniões realizadas, tendo-lhe sido disponibilizada com antecedência toda a informação e documentação referentes às matérias constantes na ordem de trabalhos de todas as reuniões.

O Administrador Não Executivo participou em várias reuniões da Comissão Executiva, particularmente naquelas em que os temas versavam a estratégia e o planeamento dos negócios do Grupo.

Frequentemente, solicitou informação detalhada à Comissão Executiva sobre decisões tomadas no âmbito do desenvolvimento e expansão dos Negócios.

Ao nível funcional manteve uma relação privilegiada com o departamento de Planeamento e Controlo de Gestão tendo o Professor Vázquez-Dodero reunido quatro vezes com a Direcção do Departamento para, em conjunto, avaliarem metodologias e ferramentas e definirem processos de melhoria no controlo dos negócios, bem como aportou informação macroeconómica relevante para apoio ao diagnóstico do contexto em Espanha.

O Controlo de Gestão forneceu-lhe, trimestralmente, informação detalhada que lhe permitiu o acompanhamento da actividade operacional e a avaliação do desempenho da gestão executiva face aos planos e orçamentos aprovados em Conselho de Administração, tendo todos os esclarecimentos solicitados sido fornecidos.

O Membro Não Executivo esteve presente em todas as reuniões efectuadas com o Conselho Fiscal e acompanhou todos os temas de Corporate Governance surgidos durante o exercício.

11. Perspectivas

Todas as perspectivas apontam no sentido de uma melhoria da procura interna no mercado ibérico, embora a necessidade de manter medidas de consolidação orçamental continue a condicionar o crescimento do mercado da restauração.

Porém, mantendo-se os sinais positivos de evolução da economia é de prever que as vendas em 2015 mantenham a tendência evidenciada no ano findo, mantendo-se os níveis dos preços de venda pelo que as margens manter-se-ão ou até poderão contrair.

No que concerne ao financiamento é expectável que a economia possa beneficiar de um afluxo adicional de liquidez com uma redução dos spreads associados aos financiamentos em Portugal e Espanha.

Em Angola, a evolução dos negócios estará muito ligada á evolução da cotação do petróleo, que afectará o ritmo das despesas do Estado. O orçamento revisto aponta para uma significativa redução de receitas e de despesas e para a previsível introdução de um novo imposto sobre os invisíveis correntes, o que certamente afectará a evolução da procura.

No que concerne à expansão continuaremos atentos a oportunidades de reforço da posição competitiva das marcas que exploramos, prevemos que durante o ano de 2015 a Ibersol possa concretizar a abertura de 10 restaurantes e dê continuidade ao programa de remodelações de mais de uma dezena de unidades, podendo ainda ter de encerrar algumas, especialmente aquelas cujo processo de renegociação dos contratos de utilização não permita viabilizar a exploração face ao respectivo patamar de vendas.

Em Angola, com o negócio mais consolidado é nossa expectativa a abertura de mais dois restaurantes.

12. Distribuição de Resultados

No exercício de 2014, a Ibersol SGPS, S.A. apresentou um resultado líquido consolidado de 7.915.234, 00 euros e um resultado líquido nas contas individuais de 7.757.420,00 euros.

Conforme consta do relatório de gestão individual, o Conselho de Administração propõe a seguinte aplicação:

Reservas não distribuiveis 7.507.129,00 €
Reservas livres 250.291,00€

Propomos ainda a distribuição de reservas no montante de 1.100.000 euros, o que corresponde a atribuir, a cada acção, um dividendo ilíquido de 0,055€. No caso da sociedade deter acções próprias manter-se-á a referida atribuição de 0,055€ a cada acção em circulação, reduzindo-se o montante global dos dividendos atribuídos.

13. Factos subsequentes e declaração de responsabilidade

Até à data de aprovação deste relatório não ocorreram factos significativos que mereçam destaque.

Em cumprimento da alínea a) do nº1 do artigo 245º do Código de Valores Mobiliários declaramos que tanto quanto é do seu conhecimento:

  • o relatório de gestão, as contas anuais e demais documentos de prestação de contas da Ibersol SGPS, SA. exigidos por lei ou regulamento, referentes ao exercício de 2014, foram elaborados em conformidade com as normas contabilísticas aplicáveis, dando uma imagem verdadeira e apropriada do activo e do passivo, da situação financeira e dos resultados da Ibersol SGPS, S.A. e das empresas incluídas no perímetro de consolidação; e

14. Agradecimentos

O primeiro voto deste Conselho de Administração é dirigido a todos os colaboradores do Grupo, pela dedicação e entusiasmo que revelaram para enfrentar uma conjuntura adversa nos últimos anos e o empenho demonstrado neste exercício de recuperação.

Registamos com apreço a colaboração dada ao longo do exercício pelas Entidades Bancárias bem como pelos nossos Fornecedores e demais parceiros.

15. Identification of model of governance adopted.

The Company adopts a classical, monist model of governance, made up of Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, the statutory auditor having been appointed by the General Meeting. The Board of Directors is responsible for performing all the administrative acts relating to the corporate object, determining the Company's strategic guidelines, and appointing and overseeing the work of the Executive Committee, no specialized committees having been formed. The Executive Committee coordinates the operations of the functional units and the Company's various businesses, meeting with the senior managers of these units and businesses on a regular basis.

The Audit Committee is responsible for auditing the Company's activity in accordance with law and the Company's bylaws.

16. Statutory rules for procedural and material requirements applicable to appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors.

The rules on the procedural and material requirements applicable to the appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors are stated in articles 8, 9, 10 and 15 of the Bylaws.

The Board of Directors is made up of an uneven or even number of members, with a minimum of three and a maximum of nine, elected by the General Meeting. A number of substitutes equal to one-third of the number of acting directors may also be elected.

Up to one-third of the directors shall be elected from among persons proposed in lists subscribed by shareholder groups holding shares representing no more than 20% and no less than 10% of the share capital. Each list must propose at least two candidates for each post to be filled and a shareholder may not subscribe to more than one list. If, in a given election, lists are presented by more than one group, the vote will decide on all the lists taken together.

In the event of death, resignation or temporary or permanent disability of a director, the Board of Directors shall arrange for a replacement. Where a director elected under the rules set forth in the preceding paragraph is no longer able to serve, a replacement shall be elected by the General Meeting.

17. Composition of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors is currently made up of three members, the executive members being the Chairman and Vice-Chairman. The Board of Directors shall choose its own chairman if a chairman has not been appointed by the General Meeting at the time the Board was elected. The Board of Directors may specifically appoint one or more directors to handle certain matters. As of 31 December 2014 the Board of Directors was made up of the following members:

Chairman – Dr. António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira;

Vice-Chairman – Dr. António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa; Director – Prof. Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero

All the members were elected by the General Meeting on 6 May 2013 for a term that expires in 2016 or when new members are elected.

The dates on which the current members were first elected to their posts are as follows: Dr. António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa, 1991; Dr. António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira, 1997; and Prof. Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero, 1999.

Under article 27 of the Bylaws, directors are elected for a period of four years.

The Board of Directors may also delegate the day-to-day management of the Company to one or more directors or an executive committee, within the terms and limits established by law. The Board of Directors shall be responsible for regulating the functioning of the Executive Committee and the way it exercises the powers assigned to it.

18. Distinction between executive and non-executive members.

The governing body of the Company is made up of three directors and includes one non-executive member, Prof. Juan Carlos Vázquez-Dodero, who is not associated with any specific interest groups, whether of the Company or its principal shareholders, and has no material interests that might clash or interfere with the free performance of his duties as a director. No internal control committee has been established. Said non-executive member is a director of related companies, in which he does not perform any executive functions. He does not carry out any activities or businesses with the Company, within the meaning of articles 397 and 398 of the Companies Code (CSC) and meets the other requirements for independence stated in art 414.5 of the CSC, in particular as stated in the European Commission Recommendation of 15 February 2005. Face to this Recommendation, in it´s point number 13, it is determined, about the independence requirement, that an administrator must be considered independent if he has no business, family, or other relations with the company, either with the control shareholders, as well with the directive bodies of any of them – that can create a conflict of interest that undermine his judgment. These independence requirements are complete fulfilled by the non-executive member of Board of Directors, Prof. Juan Carlos Vazquez-Dodero, and so this is an independent member.

The above mentioned non-executive director, as a non-executive director of the Board of Directors of companies included in or linked to the Ibersol Group, does not collaborate or interferes with the management of the company, neither provides any other type of service to any of these companies and has no other type of commercial relationship (material or non-material), whether of service provision or another

nature, and is not a beneficiary of any kind of remuneration beyond that received annually as a non-executive director of Ibersol, SGPS, SA.

The Supervisory Board adopted the recommended principle only not to make the rotation of the external auditor at the end of two terms of four years continuously functions, if, after making a careful assessment, has concluded that the maintenance functions, in addition to that period, does not interfere or prejudice the necessary independence of the external auditor, or the level of quality that the functions should be exercised, ensuring instead monitor the company by that supervisory body, with the level of knowledge and depth already acquired – v.d. proposal of the Supervisory Board 5/4/2013 on the appointment of ROC attached to the proposal presented on point 7 of the General Meeting Call for May 6, 2013 – in www.ibersol.pt.

45. External Auditor assessment.

The Audit Committee annually assesses the work of the external auditor and states its conclusions in its Report and Opinion, issued in the terms and for the purposes of art. 420.1.g) of the Companies Code.

46. Additional work.

The non-audit services provided by the external auditor will mainly include services to do with the review of tax documentation processes and keeping up to date with tax legislation.

The Audit Committee analyzed and approved the scope of said services, concluding that they do not represent any threat to the auditor's independence.

The non-audit services are provided by different individuals from those involved in the audit, so that the independence and impartiality of the auditor is considered to be assured.

The fees billed for non-audit services in 2014 represented 18,9% of the total fees billed to the Group by PriceWaterHouseCoopers in the year.

III. Internal Control and Risk Management

50. Individuals, bodies or committees responsible for internal audit and/ or implementation of internal control systems.

Ibersol does not have autonomous internal audit and compliance services.

Risk management, as part of the company's culture, is present in all processes and is the responsibility of all managers and employees at every level of the organization.

Internal control and the monitoring of internal control systems are overseen by the Executive Committee.

Risk management is undertaken with the goal of creating value by managing and controlling uncertainties and threats that may affect the Group companies, with a view to the continuity of operations, to take advantage of business opportunities. As part of strategic planning are identified and evaluated the risks of the existing businesses portfolio and the development of new businesses and relevant projects and defined those risks management strategies.

At the operational level, are identified and evaluated the risks management objectives of each business and planned actions to manage those risks that are included and monitored in the plans of business and functional units. With regard to security risks of tangible assets and people are defined policies and standards, and the self-control of its application is made, being conducted external audits to all units and implemented preventive and corrective actions for the identified risks. In order to ensure compliance of the established procedures is performed regularly assessing of the main internal control systems of the group. For specific business aspects there are risk areas whose management has been assigned to functional departments. The internal control and monitoring of internal control systems are conducted by the Executive Committee.

51. Disclosure of the relationship to other committees of the Society in hierarchical dependence and/ or functional relation.

Not applicable as the Group does not have autonomous services.

52. Existence of other functional areas regarding competences in risk control.

There are central functions (the Quality, Human Resources and Financial Units), reporting to the Executive Committee, that promote, coordinate and facilitate the development of risk management processes.

53. Main Risks to which the Company and its Affiliates are exposed.

The Board of Directors considers that the Group is exposed to the normal risks arising from its activity, namely at the level of the restaurants.

Strategic and operational risks

The business is exposed to changes in macroeconomic factors and trends in consumer preferences. The management of strategic risks involves the monitoring of macroeconomic indicators, consumer trend studies, market studies of restaurants business, consumers consultation and monitoring competition activity in the different markets where the Group operates.

Operational risks are focused on the group's value chain processes and operational risks of the units, relating to the supply management (supply chain and logistics) inventory management, fund management and efficiency and security in the use of resources and assets. The suitability and scope of control procedures are monitored and revised when necessary.

Given the nature of the business, there are certain risk areas that are assigned to particular functional departments, notably:

Food quality and food safety

In the restaurants business, the risk associated with hygiene and food safety is of primordial importance.

The management of this area of risk is overseen by the Quality Unit and is aimed primarily at adopting a responsible, proactive approach, following the principles of prevention, training, monitoring of indicators and continuous improvement in order to minimise food risks that could have an impact on the health of consumers.

The main management dimensions of this risk area are:

  • qualification and selection of suppliers and products in the area of food quality/safety and a programme of periodic inspections of suppliers, products and services

  • ensuring the effectiveness of the traceability system

  • control of the production process in the units through HACCP systems

  • system for developing food safety competencies
  • maintenance and monitoring of measurement devices

  • food crisis management system, which can be used to monitor existing food warning systems at all times and take immediate action when necessary

  • continuous improvement system supported by the following tools, among others: programme of external audits in all Group units; programme of microbiological analyses of the end products, carried out through sampling by an authorized outside body; complaints processing system; mystery shopper programme; and programme of internal audits in relation to food safety indicators.

  • certification of the food safety management system under ISO 22000, a demanding international food safety standard.

Health and safety at work (HSW)

The management of this risk area is overseen by the Human Resources Unit, which coordinates training plans and monitors the application of the rules and procedures defined in Ibersol's HSW Manual.

Financial

Risk management in the financial area is led by the Financial Unit, which focuses on monitoring the volatility of the financial markets, especially interest rate volatility. The current situation of the markets has led to liquidity risk taking on greater importance.

The Group's policy regarding financial risk management is conservative and cautious when using derivative instruments for hedging does not take positions that are not strictly related to the activity or positions that have speculative purposes.

The main sources of exposure to financial risk are:

a) Exchange rate risk

Exchange rate risk is reduced, as the Group operates mainly in the Iberian market. However, the subsidiary companies located in Angola contracted financing in dollars, that do not have significant expression at the level of consolidated accounts.

As regards future borrowings outside the eurozone, the Group will pursue a policy of natural coverage, using preferably financing in local currency whenever interest rate conditions make it recommendable.

The growth of the business in Angola translates into an increase in exchange rate risk, which will affect the value of the assets and liabilities.

b) Interest rate risk

As the Group has no interest-bearing assets with significant interest rates, the gains and cash flows of the financing activity are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

The interest rate risk for the Group comes from the liabilities, namely long-term loans. Fixed-rate borrowings expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. With the current level of interest rates, the Group's policy in long-term financings is to fully or partly fix the interest rates.

Ibersol uses interest rate hedges for 30% of the loans obtained.

c) Credit risk

The Group's principal activity is carried out with sales paid in cash or by debit/credit card, so that the Group has no material credit risk concentrations. However, with the increase in sales of the catering business, which has a significant proportion of credit sales, the Group has started to monitor its accounts receivable more regularly in order to:

  • i) control the credit granted to customers;
  • ii) analyze the age and recoverability of receivables;
  • iii) analyze the risk profile of customers;

d) Liquidity risk

As already mentioned, the recent situation of the financial markets has lent a new importance to liquidity risk. Systematic financial planning based on cash flow forecasting in different scenarios and for periods of more than one year has become an imperative. Short-term cash management is based on the annual plan, which is reviewed quarterly and adjusted daily. In line with the dynamics of the underlying businesses, the Group's Treasury aims for flexible management of commercial paper and the negotiation of lines of credit that are available at all times. The policy of open dialogue with all the financial partners has allowed the Group to maintain relationships of trust. The Group, in detriment of the cost, chose to contract underused credit lines.

e) Capital risk

The Company seeks to maintain a level of capital appropriate to its principal business (cash sales and supplier credit) and ensure its continuity and expansion. The balance of the capital structure is monitored based on the leverage ratio (defined as: net interest-bearing debt / (net interest-bearing debt+shareholders' equity)), aiming to keep this ratio within the 35%-70% range. In 2014, as a measure of prudence in view of the current market constraints, we maintained a ratio of 17%.

Environmental

The environmental risk management area is overseen by the Quality Unit, whose main concern is the implementation of the policy deriving from Ibersol's Sustainability Principles, so that environmental processes and procedures are applied across the organization.

Adoption of good environmental management practices is a matter of concern to Ibersol's Board of Directors, which promotes a responsible, proactive approach to resource and waste management.

The procedures set forth in Ibersol's Standards Manual as regards environmental matters are focused mainly on the rational use of electricity and the recycling of used oil and packaging.

Legal

Ibersol and its businesses have a legal function, which works full-time, in coordination with the other central and business functions, in order to preventively protect the Group's interests, while ensuring strict compliance with the Group's legal duties.

Legal advice is also obtained, at national and international level, by recognized outside experts.

Sector-specific

The recovery of private consumption, after the severe disruption seen in recent years, mainly in Portugal, will continue to affect sales in restaurants. To mitigate the impact on its results, the company has implemented rigorous cost control, with monthly monitoring of market trends and subsequent reviews of resource planning, in order to mitigate the impact of the consumption reduction.

Operating as it does in the food service business, the company is also subject to the risk of epidemics, disruptions in raw materials markets and changes in consumption patterns, which can have a material impact on the financial statements.

54. Description of the identification, assessment, monitoring, control and risk management process.

Risk management is carried out with the aim of creating value by managing and controlling uncertainties and threats that could affect Group companies from a business continuity perspective.

In the context of strategic planning, the risks of the business portfolio, as well the risks of development of new businesses and the implementation of the most important projects are identified and assessed; and strategies to manage those risks are defined.

At operational level the risks affecting the objectives of each business are identified and assessed, and actions are planned to manage those risks. These actions are included and monitored through the plans of the individual businesses and functional units.

As regards the risks to the security of tangible assets and persons, policies and standards have been established and are monitored to ensure compliance. All units are subject to external audits and preventive and corrective measures are taken in respect of the risks that have been identified.

To ensure that the established procedures are followed, the Group's main internal control systems are evaluated periodically.

55. Main elements of the internal control systems and risk management

implemented by the company regarding the finantial disclosure process.

The Company does not have any internal audit services reporting directly to the Audit Committee (given the Latin model adopted), the necessary compliance services being overseen by the individual departments of the company. Organizationally and functionally, the various units of the Group are directly responsible for compliance services to the Board of Directors and of the Audit Committee and the persons responsible are duly identified in the Company's organization chart. Under the Latin model of corporate governance, the individual departments of the Company oversee the compliance services in interaction with the Audit Committee or the non-executive director of the Company, reporting functionally to that director, independently of the departments' reporting relationship with the Company's executive management.

External audit assesses and reports on the reliability and integrity of accounting and financial information, validating the internal control system established in the Group and the effectiveness of the separation between the persons who prepare the information and those who use it and carrying out various validation procedures throughout the financial information preparation and disclosure process.

The external auditor meets with the different departments of the Group, at least twice a year to analyze and review the internal control system, submitting a report to the Audit Committee for subsequent discussion with the Board of Directors, namely with the non-executive director.

As regards risk in the process of financial information disclosure, only a restricted number of employees is involved in the disclosure process. All those who are involved in the process of financial analysis of the Company are considered to have access to inside information and are specially informed of their obligations.

The system of internal control of the recording, preparation and disclosure of financial information rests on the following key elements:

  • the use of accounting principles, as set forth in the notes to the accounts, is one of the bases of the control system

  • the plans, procedures and records of the Company and its subsidiaries offer a reasonable guarantee that only duly authorized transactions are are recorded and that they are recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

  • the financial information is analysed systematically and regularly by business unit management (supported by the Management Control Department) and by the heads of the profit centres, ensuring continuous monitoring and the necessary budgetary control

  • a timetable is established for the preparation and review of information, the work is divided up among the various areas involved and all the documents are reviewed in detail. This includes a review of the principles used, verification of the accuracy of the information produced and a check of consistency with the principles and policies used in previous years

  • the accounting records and the preparation of the financial statements are overseen by the central accounting function. The financial statements are prepared by the accountants and are reviewed by the Administrative Unit.

  • The consolidated financial statements are prepared on a quarterly basis by the central consolidation function, which conducts an additional reliability check

  • The financial information, annual report and financial statements are reviewed by the Financial Unit and submitted to the Board of Directors for final review and approval. Once the documents have been approved, they are sent to the external auditor, which issues its audit report and opinion.

  • The statutory auditor carries out an annual audit and a half-yearly limited review of the individual and consolidated accounts. Also, each quarter it conducts a summary examination of the quarterly information.

  • The process of preparation of the individual and consolidated financial information and of the management report is supervised by the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. At quarterly intervals these bodies meet and analyze the individual and consolidated financial statements and management report.

Among the causes of risk that may materially affect financial reporting are the accounting estimates, which are based on the best information available and on the knowledge and experience of current and past events. Balances and transactions with related parties are disclosed in the annex to the financial statements and are associated above all with the Group's operating activities and its lending and borrowing, which is done at market prices.

REMUNERATION COMMITTEE

STATEMENT OF THE REMUNERATION COMMITTEE ABOUT THE REMUNERATION POLICY FOR THE CORPORATE GOVERNING BODIES OF IBERSOL, SGPS, S.A. TO BE SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL BY THE GENERAL MEETING ON 30 APRIL 2015

  1. Under the terms of the authority assigned to this Committee by the General Meeting of shareholders of Ibersol SGPS, SA. and under the terms of article 26.2 of the By-laws of the Company, the function of this Remuneration Committee is to set the remuneration of the members of the corporate governing bodies.

  2. Under the applicable terms of the By-laws, the Remuneration Committee was appointed by the General Meeting of shareholders on 6 May 2013 and is made up of three members, who are independent of the members of the Company's governing and audit bodies.

  3. The Remuneration Committee thus submits this report for the consideration of this General Meeting and for the purpose of adoption of Recommendation II.3.3 of the Corporate Governance Code of the CMVM. The report contains the guidelines followed by this Committee in setting the remuneration of the members of the governing and audit bodies and the Board of the General Meeting, as follows:

a) The remuneration of the members of the Board of the General Meeting for 2014 was set at a fixed annual amount, payable twelve times a year, having its members earned the following annual remuneration:

  • Chairman – Dr.ª Alice de Assunção Castanho Amado: € 1.333,44;

  • Vice-Chairman – Dr.ª Anabela Nogueira de Matos : € 667,92;

  • Secretary – Dr.ª Maria Leonor Moreira Pires Cabral Campello: € 333,36;

b) The shareholder ATPS-SGPS, SA. provided administrative and management services to the Group and in 2014 received from the investee Ibersol, Restauração, SA. a total of 756,034.00 euros for such services. One of the obligations of ATPS-Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, SA. under the service agreement with Ibersol, Restauração, SA. is to ensure that the directors of the Company António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa and António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira perform their duties without the Company having to incur additional expense. The Company does not directly pay any remuneration to any of its executive directors. Given that ATPS-Sociedade Gestora de Participações Sociais, SA. is owned in equal shares by the directors António Carlos Vaz Pinto de Sousa and António Alberto Guerra Leal Teixeira, out of the abovementioned total of 756.034,00 euros paid in 2014, each director received the amount of 378.017,00 euros. The nonexecutive member receives annual remuneration of 6.000,00 euros.

In view of the above, it is impossible to issue a statement on the remuneration policy of the members of the governing body of the company, particularly not a report containing the information mentioned in article 2.3 of Law 28/2009.

c) The remuneration of the members of the Audit Committee for 2014 was set at a fixed annual amount, payable twelve times a year. The individual members received the following annual remuneration:

Chairman - Dr. Joaquim Alexandre de Oliveira e Silva: €8.785,92;

Vice-Chairman - Dr. António Maria de Borda Cardoso: €8.785,92;

Director – Dr. Eduardo Moutinho dos Santos: €8.785,92;

The general principles observed are essentially those that follow from the law, taking into account the activities actually performed by the above persons, the Company's economic situation and the usual terms and conditions in comparable situations. The functions performed by each member of the corporate governing bodies were considered in the most broadest sense of the activity actually performed, using the level of responsibility as an assessment parameter. The weighting of the functions is considered in a broad sense, in the light of various factors, particularly the level of responsibility, the time spent and the value the member's institutional role added to the Group. The size of the company and the degree of complexity of the assigned functions is also an important aspect. The combination of the abovementioned factors and assessment thereof serves to guarantee not only the interests of the post holders but also those of the Company.

The remuneration policy we submit to the shareholders of the Company for approval is therefore based on the abovementioned parameters, consisting of the remuneration of the members of the corporate bodies in a gross fixed amount, paid in twelve monthly instalments until the end of the year. In setting all remuneration, the general principles stated above were observed: functions performed, situation of the Company and comparative criteria for equivalent degrees of performance.

ANNEX TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDING ON 31st DECEMBER 2014

(Values in euros)

1. INTRODUCTION

IBERSOL, SGPS, SA ("Company" or "Ibersol") has its head office at Praça do Bom Sucesso, Edifício Península n.º 105 a 159 – 9º, 4150-146 Porto, Portugal.

The group has 371 units which it operates and 20 units under a franchise contract. Of this universe, 86 are headquartered in Spain, of which 67 are own establishments and 19 are franchised establishments, and 4 in Angola.

Ibersol is a public limited company listed on the Euronext of Lisbon.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The main accounting policies applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements are described below.

2.1 Presentation basis

These consolidated financial statements were prepared according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applied in the European Union and in force on 01 January 2014.

The accounting policies applied on 31 December 2014 are identical to those applied for preparing the financial statements of 31 December 2013, except under the adoption of IFRS 11. Jointly controlled entity UQ Consult S.A. ceases to be included by the proportional consolidation method, and the interest on that entity to be accounted for by the equity method. Because of this change the comparative figures have been restated in the consolidated statement of financial position, of comprehensive income and of cash-flows and in and related Notes in remission.

The main impacts can be summarized as follows:

Balance sheet

31-12-2013 31-12-2013 restated
Financial assets - joint controlled entities - 2.497.788
Goodwill 42.677.991 40.509.009
Other assets 175.644.750 175.098.683
Equity 119.440.096 119.440.096
Liabilities 98.882.645 98.665.384

Income statement

31-12-2013 31-12-2013 restated
Operating income 174.307.605 174.269.403
Operating costs -167.855.823 -167.833.837
Net financing cost -2.282.891 -2.262.818
Gaisn (losses) in joint controlled subsidiaries - -10.825
Income tax expense -471.952 -464.984
Net profit 3.696.939 3.696.939

In the consolidated statements of financial position, of comprehensive income and of cash-flows Ibersol chose not to put a third column with the values of 2013 not restated due to the small size of the jointly controlled entity UQ Consult S.A. statements of accounts.

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Shareholdings in companies in which the group directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the voting rights or has the power to control their financial and operational activities (definition of control used by the group) were included in these consolidated financial statements through the full consolidation method. Equity and net profit of these companies assigned to third-party shareholdings are presented separately in the "non-controlling interests" item in the consolidated statement of financial position and of comprehensive income. The companies included in the financial statements are listed in Note 5.

When losses impute to non-controlling interests exceed the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary company's equity, the non-controlling interest absorb that difference and any additional losses.

The purchase method is used to account the acquisition of subsidiaries that occurred before 2010. The acquisition cost corresponds to the fair value of the delivered goods, capital issued instruments and liabilities incurred or assumed on the acquisition date. The identifiable acquired assets and the liabilities and contingent liabilities taken into account in a corporate concentration will initially correspond to the fair value on the acquisition date, regardless of whether there are non-controlling interests. The positive difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value of the group's stake in the acquired and identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill. If the acquisition cost is less than the fair value of the acquired subsidiary's net assets, the difference is recognised directly in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (see Note 2.5).

For the acquisition of subsidiaries that occurred after 1 January 2010 the Group has applied reviewed IFRS 3. Accordingly to witch the purchase method continues to be applied in acquisitions, with some significant changes:

(i) All amounts which comprise the purchase price are valued at fair value, with the option of measuring, transaction by transaction, the "non-controlled interests" by the proportion of the value of net assets of the acquired entity or the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired.

(ii) All costs associated with acquisition are recorded as expenses.

Also has been applied since 1 January 2010 the revised IAS 27, which requires that all transactions with the "noncontrolling interest" are recorded in equity, when there is no change in control of the entity, there is no place to record goodwill or gains or losses. When there is a loss of control exercised over the entity, any remaining interest on the principal is remeasured at fair value, and a gain or loss is recognized in the results of the exercise.

Balances and gains arising from transactions between group companies are eliminated. Losses not realised are also eliminated, except when the transaction reveals that a transferred asset is subject to impairment. The subsidiaries' accounting policies are altered whenever necessary to ensure consistence with the group's policies.

(b) Jointly controlled companies

The financial statements of jointly controlled companies were included in these consolidated financial statements by the equity method, under the adoption of IFRS 11 on 01 January 2014, as of the date on which the joint control is acquired. According to this method, these companies' assets, liabilities, income and costs were included in the annexed consolidated financial statements in one line in the consolidated statement of financial position and in one line in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Transactions, balances and dividends paid among group companies and jointly controlled companies are not eliminated in the proportion of the control assigned to the group. The excess acquisition cost compared with the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities on the acquisition date of a jointly controlled company is recognised as a financial investment.

Jointly controlled companies are listed in Note 5.

2.3 Report per segment

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity) whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance and for which separate financial information is available

The group's head office – which also hosts the largest operating company, is in Portugal. Its business activity is in the restaurant segment.

The Group operates in three main business segments:

  • Restaurants, which includes the units with table service available offer and home delivery;
  • Counters, with sales over the counter;
  • Concessions and catering, which includes all other businesses, including the catering activity and the units located in concession areas.

The segments' assets include, in particular, tangible fixed assets, intangible assets, stocks, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. This category excludes deferred taxes, financial investments and derivatives held for negotiation or hedge.

The segments' liabilities are operating liabilities. Taxes, loans and related hedging derivatives are excluded.

Investments include additions to tangible fixed assets (Note 8) and intangible assets (Note 9).

Investments are distributed according to this business distribution.

2.4 Currency exchange rate

a) Working currency and financial statement currency

The Financial Statements of each group entity are prepared using the currency of the region in which the entity operates ("the working currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros since this is the working currency which the group uses in the financial statements.

b) Transactions and balances

Transactions in currencies other than the euro are converted into the working currency using the exchange rates on the transaction date. Exchange rate gains or losses from liquidating transactions and from the conversion rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date of monetary assets and liabilities in a currency other than the euro are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except when they are qualified as cash flow hedging or as net investment hedging, in which case they are recorded in equity.

b) Financial statements

Financial statements assets and liabilities of foreign entities are converted to euro using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date, profit and loss as well as the cash flows statements are translated into euro using the average exchange rate recorded during the period. The resulting exchange difference is recorded in equity under the heading of exchange rate differences.

"Goodwill" and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of foreign entities are treated as assets and liabilities of that entity and translated into euro according to the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

When a foreign entity is disposed, the accumulated exchange rate difference is recognised in the income statement as a gain or loss on disposal.

Currency exchange rate used for conversion of the transactions and balances denominated in Kwanzas, were respectively:

Euro exchange rates (x foreign currency per 1 Rate on December, Average
Euro) 31 2014 interest rate
Kwanza de Angola (AOA) 124,984 131,044

2.5 Tangible Fixed Assets

Buildings and other structures include own properties assigned to the restaurant activities and expenses on works at third-party properties, in particular those required for setting up restaurant shops.

Tangible fixed assets are shown at the acquisition cost, net of the respective amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

The historic cost includes all expenses attributable directly to the acquisition of goods.

Subsequent costs are added to the amounts for which the good is recorded or recognised as separate assets, as appropriate, only when it is probable that the company will obtain the underlying economic benefits and the cost may be reliably measured. Other expenses on repairs and maintenance are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of assets is calculated by the equal annual amounts method in order to allocate its cost at its residual value, according to its estimated lifetime, as follows:

- Buildings and other structures: 12-50 years
- Equipment: 10 years
- Tools and utensils: 4 years
- Vehicles: 5 years
- Office equipment: 10 years
- Other tangible assets: 5 years

The amounts which assets may be depreciated, their lifetime and the depreciation method are reviewed and adjusted if necessary on the consolidated statement of financial position date.

If the accounted amount is higher than the asset's recoverable amount, it is immediately readjusted to the estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.6).

Gains and losses consequent to a reduction or sale are determined by the difference between receipts from the sale and the asset's accounted value, and are recognised as other operating income or other operating costs in the profit and loss account. When revaluated goods are sold, the amount included in other reserves is transferred to retained profit.

2.6 Intangible Assets

a) Goodwill

Goodwill represents the acquisition cost exceeding the fair value of the subsidiary's/associated/jointly controlled company's assets and liabilities identifiable on the acquisition date. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is subject to annual impairment tests and is shown at cost, minus accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses are not reverted. Gains or losses from the sale of an entity include the value of the goodwill in reference to the said entity.

Goodwill is allocated to the units that generate the cash flows for performing impairment tests.

b) Research and development

Research expenses are recognised as costs when incurred. Costs incurred on development projects (for designing and testing new products or for product improvements) are recognised as intangible assets when it is likely that the project will be successful, in terms of its commercial and technological feasibility and when the costs may be reliably measured. Other development expenses are recognised as expenses when incurred. Developments costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in subsequent periods. Development costs with a finite lifetime that have been capitalised are amortised from the time the product begins commercial production according to the equal annual amounts method during the period of its expected benefit, which cannot exceed five years.

c) Software

The cost of acquiring software licences is capitalised and includes all costs incurred for acquiring and installing the software available for utilisation. These costs are amortised during the estimated lifetime (5 years).

Software development or maintenance costs are recognised as expenses when incurred. Costs associated directly with creating identifiable and unique software controlled by the Group and that will probably generate future economic benefits greater than the costs, for more than one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Direct costs include personnel costs for developing software and the share in relevant general expenses.

Software development costs recognised as assets are amortised during the software's estimated lifetime (not exceeding 5 years).

d) Concessions and territorial rights

Concessions and territorial rights are presented at the historic cost. Concessions and territorial rights have a finite lifetime associated to the contractual periods and are presented at cost minus accumulated amortisation.

2.7 Impairment of assets

Intangible assets with a specific lifetime are not subject to amortisation and are, instead, subject to annual impairment tests. Assets subject to amortisation are revaluated to determine any impairment whenever there are events or alterations in the circumstances causing their accounting value not to be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by the amount by which the recoverable amount exceeds the accounted amount. The recoverable amount is the highest amount between an asset's fair value minus the costs necessary for its sale and its utilisation value. To perform impairment tests, assets are grouped at the lowest level at which it may be able to separately identify cash flows (units generating cash flows).

A cash-generating unit (CGU) is the smallest group of assets which includes the asset and that generates cash flows from continued use and which is generally independent from the cash input from other assets or asset groups. In the case of tangible assets, each shop was identified as a cash-generating unit. Shops with negative Ebitda for at least 2 years are subject to impairment tests.

Consolidation differences are distributed among the group's cash-flow generating units (CGUs), identified according to the country of operation and the business segment.

The recoverable value of a CGU is determined based on calculating the utilisation value. Those calculations apply cash flow forecasts based on financial budgets approved by the managers and cover a 5-year period.

The Board of Directors determines the budgeted gross margin based on past performance and on its market growth expectations. The average weighted growth rate used is consistent with provisions included in the sector's reports. The discount rates used after taxes and reflect specific risks related with the assets from a CGU.

2.8 Financial assets

2.8.1 Classification

The group classifies its financial assets under the following categories: financial assets at the fair value through results, loans granted and accounts receivable, investments held until maturity and financial assets available for sale. The investment is classified according to its purpose. The Board of Directors decides on the classification when the investments are initially recorded and re-assesses that classification at each report date.

a) Financial assets at the fair value through results

This category is subdivided into two parts: financial assets held for negotiation and those that are designated at the fair value through results from the start. A financial asset is classified in this category if it is acquired for the main purpose of being sold on the short term or if designated as such by the Board of Directors. Derivatives are also classified as held for negotiation, except if they are classified for hedging. Assets in this category are classified as current if they are held for negotiation or are realisable within 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date.

b) Loans granted and accounts

Loans granted and other credits are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and that are not listed on an active market. These assets originate when the group supplies cash, goods or services directly to a debtor, without intending to negotiate the time at which it will receive payment for the said cash goods or services. They are included in current assets, except when they mature in more than 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.

c) Investments held until maturity

Investments held until maturity is non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities, which the group's Board of Directors has the intention and capacity to maintain until maturity. These investments are included in non-current assets, except those falling due within 12 months as of the consolidated statement of financial position date, which are classified as current assets.

d) Financial assets available for sale

Financial assets available for sale are non-derivative assets which are designated in this category or are not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets, except when the Board of Directors wishes to sell the investment within 12 months as of the consolidated statement of financial position date.

2.8.2 Recognition and measurement

Purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the transaction date – the date on which the group promises to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at the fair value, including transaction costs, when the financial assets are not shown at the fair value through results (in this case, they are also recognised at the fair value, but the transaction costs are recorded in costs in the year at the time they are incurred). Financial investments are derecognised when the rights to receive cash from them expire or have been transferred and the group has substantially transferred all the risks and benefits from its possession. Financial assets available for sale and financial assets at the fair value through results are subsequently valuated at the fair value. Loans granted and accounts receivable and investments held until maturity are valuated at the amortised cost, using the effective rate method. Gains and losses - either realised or not realised and arising from alterations to the fair value of the category of the financial assets at their fair value through results - are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which they arise. Unrealised gains and losses, resulting from alterations to the fair value of non-monetary securities, classified as available for sale, are recognised in the equity. When the securities classified as available for sale are sold or are under impairment, the accumulated adjustments to the fair value are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as gains or losses in securities investments.

The fair value of listed investments is based on current market prices.

If there is no active market for a financial asset (and for non-listed securities), the group determines the fair value using evaluation techniques, which include using recent transactions between independent parties, reference to other instruments that are substantially identical, an analysis of the discounted cash flow and refined options price models that reflect the specific emission circumstances.

2.8.3 Impairment

On each consolidated statement of financial position, the group checks for objective evidence showing whether any group of financial assets is subject to impairment. In the event of equity securities classified as available for sale, a significant or lasting decrease in the fair value falling below the cost value is determinant for knowing if there is impairment. If there is evidence of impairment applicable to financial assets available for sale, the accumulated loss – calculated by the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, minus any impairment loss of that financial asset previously recognised in results – is removed from equity and recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Impairment losses from capital instruments recognised in results are not reversible.

The group complies with the guidelines of IAS 39 (reviewed in 2004) to determine the permanent impairment of investments. This measure requires that the group valuate, among other factors, the duration and the extent to which the fair value of an investment is less than its cost, the financial health and business outlook for the subsidiary, including factors such as the industry's and sector's performance, technological alterations and flows of operating cash and financing.

2.9 Stocks

Stocks are presented at the lowest value between their cost and the net realisation value. The cost is calculated using the weighted mean cost.

The net realisation value corresponds to the estimated sale price during normal business operations, minus variable sale costs.

2.10 Accounts receivable from clients and other debtors

Accounts receivable from clients and other debtors are initially recognised at the fair value. Medium and long term debts are subsequently measured at the amortised cost, using the effective rate method minus the impairment adjustment. The impairment adjustment of accounts receivable is determined when there is objective evidence that the group will not receive all the owed amounts according to the original conditions of the accounts receivable. The impairment adjustment value is the difference between the presented value and the current estimated value of future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The impairment adjustment value is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

2.11 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash amounts, bank deposits, other short term investments with high liquidity and initial maturities of up to 3 months and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position, in current liabilities, in the Obtained Loans item.

2.12 Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified in equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the emission of new shares or options are presented in equity as a deduction, net of taxes, of entries.

When any group company acquires shares in the parent company (own shares), the amount paid, including costs directly attributable (net of taxes), is deducted from the equity attributable to the shareholders of the parent company until the shares are cancelled, re-issued or sold. When those shares are subsequently sold or re-issued and after deducting directly imputable transaction costs and taxes, any receipt is included in the equity of the company's shareholders.

2.13 Loans obtained

Loans obtained are initially recognised at the fair value, including incurred transaction costs. Medium and long term loans are subsequently presented at cost minus any amortisation; any difference between receipts (net of transaction costs) and the amortised value is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the loan period, using the effective rate method.

Loans obtained are classified in current liabilities, except when the group is entitled to an unconditional right to defer the liquidation of the liability for at least 12 months after the consolidated statement of financial position date.

2.14 Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes are recognised overall, using the liability method and calculated based on the temporary differences arising from the difference between the taxable base of assets and liabilities and their values in the consolidated financial statements. However, if the deferred cost arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a corporate concentration or that, on the transaction date, does not affect the accounting result or the tax result, this amount is not accounted. Deferred taxes are determined by the tax (and legal) rates decreed or substantially decreed on the date of the consolidated statement of financial position and that can be expected to be applicable in the period of the deferred tax asset or in the liquidation of the deferred tax liability.

Deferred tax assets are recognised insofar as it will be probable that future taxable income will be available for using the respective temporary difference.

2.15 Provisions

Provisions for costs of restructuring activities, paid contracts and legal claims are recognised when the group has a legal or constructive obligation due to past events and when it is probable that a outflow of resources will be necessary to liquidate the obligation, and when the obligation amount may be reliably estimated. Provisions for restructuring operations include penalties for terminating leasing contracts and indemnity payments for terminating employee work contracts. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

When there are a similar number of obligations, the probability of generating an outflow is determined by combining these obligations.

2.16 Recognising revenue

Revenue comprises the fair value of the sale of goods and rendering of services, net of taxes and discounts and after eliminating internal sales. Revenue is recognised as follows:

a) Sale of goods - retail

The sale of goods is recognised when the product is sold to the customer. Retail sales are normally made in cash or through debit/credit cards. The revenue to be recognised is the gross sale amount, including debit/credit card transaction fees. Sales of goods to customers, associated to events or congresses, are recognised when they occur.

b) Rendering of services

Rendering of services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, in reference to the transaction end date on the consolidated statement of financial position date.

c) Interest

Interest is recognised taking into account the proportion of the time elapsed and the asset's effective income. When an account receivable is under impairment, the group reduces its accounting value to the recoverable value, which is equal to the current value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The discount remains recognised as financial income.

d) Royalties

Royalties are recognised according to the accrual policy, according to the content of the relevant agreements.

e) Dividends

Dividends are recognised when the shareholders' right to receive dividends is determined.

2.17 Leasing

Leasing is classified as an operating lease if a significant part of the risks and benefits inherent to the possession remain the lessor's responsibility. Payments in operating leases (minus any incentives received from the lessor) are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income by the equal annual amounts method during the leasing period.

Leasing of tangible assets where the group is substantially responsible for all the property's risks and benefits are classified as a financial lease. Financial leasing is capitalised at the start of the lease by the lowest amount between the fair value of the leased asset and the current value of the minimum leasing values. Leasing obligations, net of financial charges, are included in other non-current liabilities, except for the respective short-term component. The interest parcel is entered in financial expenses during the leasing period, thereby producing a constant periodic interest rate on the remaining debt in each period. Tangible assets acquired through financial leasing are depreciated by the lowest amount between the asset's lifetime and the leasing period.

2.18 Dividend payment

Payment of dividends to shareholders is recognised as a liability in the group's financial statements when the dividends are approved by the shareholders.

2.19 Profit per share

Basic

The basic profit per share is calculated by dividing the profit payable to shareholders by the weighted mean number of ordinary shares issued during the period, excluding ordinary shares acquired by the company and held as own shares (Note 15).

Diluted

The profit diluted per share is calculated by dividing the profit payable to shareholders – adjusted by the dividends of convertible preference shares, convertible debt interest and gains and expenses resulting from the conversion – by the average number of ordinary shares issued during the period plus the average number of ordinary shares that may be issued in the conversion of ordinary shares that may be potentially used in the dilution.

2.20 Derivatives financial instruments

The Group uses derivatives financial instruments, such as exchange forwards and interest rate swaps, only to cover the financial risk witch the Group is exposed to. The Group doesn't use derivatives financial instruments for speculation. For the carrying amount of derivatives financial instruments, the Group uses hedge accounting policies under the terms of the legislation in force. Derivatives financial instruments negotiation is carried out by the Group, on behalf of their subsidiaries, by the financial department under the policies approved by the Board of directors. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at the transaction date fair value, being subsequently measured at each reporting date fair value. Gains or losses of fair value changes are recognised as follows:

Fair value hedge

In an operation to hedge the exposure to fair value of an asset or liability ("fair value hedge") determined as effective hedges, the fair value changes are recognised in the income statement jointly with the fair value changes of the risk component of the hedged item.

Cash flow hedge

In an operation to hedge the exposure to future cash-flows of an asset or liability ("cash-flow hedge"), the effective part of the fair value changes in the hedging derivative are recognizes in equity; the ineffective part of the hedging is recognized in the income statement when it occurs.

Net investment hedge

Currently there are no foreign operational units (subsidiaries) in currencies other than the euro, therefore the Group is not exposed to foreign currency exchange-rate risks.

The Group has well identified the nature of the involved risks, guarantees through its software that each hedge instrument is followed under the Group's risk policy, recording thorough and formally the hedges relationships; the hedges goal and strategy; classification of the hedges relationship; description of the nature of the risk that's being cover; identification of the hedge instrument and covered item; description of initial measure and future effectiveness of the hedge; identification of the excluded, if any, part of the hedge instrument.

The Group will consider discontinued an hedge instrument when it is sold, expires or is realised; the hedge ceases to fulfil the hedge accounting criteria; for the cash flow hedge the expected transaction in unlikely or unexpected; the Group cancels the hedge instruments for managing reasons.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

The group's activities are exposed to a number of financial risk factors: market risk (including currency exchange risk, fair value risk associated to the interest rate and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risks associated to the interest rate. The group maintains a risk management program that focuses its analysis on financial markets to minimise the potential adverse effects of those risks on the group's financial performance.

Financial risk management is headed by the Financial Department based on the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The treasury identifies, evaluates and employs financial risk hedging measures in close cooperation with the group's operating units. The Board provides principles for managing the risk as a whole and policies that cover specific areas, such as the currency exchange risk, the interest rate risk, the credit risk and the investment of surplus liquidity.

a) Market risk

i) Currency exchange risk

The currency exchange risk is very low, since the group operates mainly in the Iberian market. Bank loans are mainly in euros and acquisitions outside the Euro zone are of irrelevant proportions.

Although the Group holds investments outside the euro-zone in external operations, in Angola, due to the reduced size of the investment, there is no significant exposure to currency exchange risk. Angolan branch loans in the amount of 3.125.000 USD does not provide material exposure to currency exchange rate due to its reduced amount and to the strong correlation between USA dollar and local currency. The remaining loans are in local currency, the same as the revenues.

ii) Price risk

The group is not greatly exposed to the merchandise price risk.

iii) Interest rate risk (cash flow and fair value)

Since the group does not have remunerated assets earning significant interest, the profit and cash flow from investment activities are substantially independent from interest rate fluctuations.

The group's interest rate risk follows its liabilities, in particular long-term loans. Loans issued with variable rates expose the group to the cash flow risk associated to interest rates. Loans with fixed rates expose the group to the risk of the fair value associated to interest rates. At the current interest rates, in financing of longer maturity periods the group has a policy of totally or partially fixing the interest rates.

The unpaid debt bears variable interest rate, part of which has been the object of an interest rate swap. The interest rate swap to hedge the risk of a 10 million euros (commercial paper programmes) loan has the maturity of the underlying interest and the repayment plan identical to the terms of the loan.

Based on simulations performed on 31 December 2014, an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate, maintaining other factors constant, would have a negative impact in the net profit of 160.000 euros.

b) Credit risk

The group's main activity covers sales paid in cash or by debit/credit cards. As such, the group does not have relevant credit risk concentrations. It has policies ensuring that sales on credit are performed to customers with a suitable credit history. The group has policies that limit the amount of credit to which these customers have access.

c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk management implies maintaining a sufficient amount of cash and bank deposits, the feasibility of consolidating the floating debt through a suitable amount of credit facilities and the capacity to liquidate market positions. Treasury needs are managed based on the annual plan that is reviewed every quarter and adjusted daily. Related with the dynamics of the underlying business operations, the group's treasury strives to maintain the floating debt flexible by maintaining credit lines available.

The Group considers that the short-term bank loans are due on the renewal date and that the commercial paper programmes matured on the dates of denunciation.

At the end of the year, current liabilities reached 61 million euros, compared with 28 million euros in current assets. This disequilibrium is, on one hand, a financial characteristic of this business and, on the other hand, due to the use of commercial paper programmes in witch the Group considers the maturity date as the renewal date, regardless of its initial stated periods. In order to ensure liquidity of the short term debt it is expected in the year 2015 the renewal of the commercial paper programmes (7.500.000 euros). However, in case of need, cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations are sufficient to settle current loans.

In the current situation, to lower bank loans the company opted to increase financial debt maturity and to maintain a significant share of the short term debt. On December 31, 2014, the use of short term liquidity cash flow support was of 1%. Investments in term deposits of 6 million match 15% of liabilities paid.

The following table shows the Group financial liabilities (relevant items), considering contractual cash-flows:

to December 2015 from December 2015 to 2024
Bank loans and overdrafts 3.836.737 15.278.060
Commercial paper 10.750.000 8.750.000
Suppliers of fixed assets c/ a 6.303.369 -
Suppliers c/ a 20.842.779 -
Other creditors 8.448.253 268.561
Accrued costs 9.387.952 -
Total 59.569.090 24.296.621

d) Capital risk

The company aims to maintain an equity level suitable to the characteristics of its main business (cash sales and credit from suppliers) and to ensure continuity and expansion. The capital structure balance is monitored based on the gearing ratio (defined as: net remunerated debt / net remunerated debt + equity) in order to place the ratio within a 35%-70% interval.

On 31st December 2014 and 2013 the gearing ratio was of 17%, as follows:

Dec-14 Dec-13
Bank loans 38.831.817 46.526.172
Cash and bank deposits -13.566.782 -22.138.608
Net indebtedness 25.265.035 24.387.564
Equity 126.313.585 119.440.096
Total capital 151.578.620 143.827.660
Gearing ratio 17% 17%

Given the current constraints of the financial markets and despite the goal of placing the gearing ratio in the range 35% -70%, prudently, in 2014 we have a 17% ratio.

3.2 Estimated fair value

The fair value of financial instruments commercialised in active markets (such as publicly negotiated derivatives, securities for negotiation and available for sale) is determined based on the listed market prices on the consolidated statement of financial position date. The market price used for the group's financial assets is the price received by the shareholders in the current market. The market price for financial liabilities is the price to be paid in the current market.

The nominal value of accounts receivable (minus impairment adjustments) and accounts payable is assumed to be as approximate to its fair value. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by updating future cash flows contracted at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

4. IMPORTANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgements are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience and on other factors, including expectations regarding future events that are believed to be reasonably probable within the respective circumstances.

The group makes estimates and outlines premises about the future. Generally, accounting based on estimates rarely corresponds to the real reported results. Estimates and premises that present a significant risk of leading to a material adjustment in the accounting value of the assets and liabilities in the following year are described below:

a) Estimated impairment of goodwill

The group performs annual tests to determine whether the goodwill is subject to impairment, according to the accounting policy indicated in Note 2.5. Recoverable amounts from the units generating cash flows are determined based on the calculation of utilisation values. Those calculations require the use of estimates (Note 9).

If the real gross margin is less, or the discount rate - after taxes - is greater than the estimates by the managers, the impairment losses of the goodwill may be greater than those recorded.

b) Income Tax

The group is subject to Income Tax in Portugal, Spain and Angola. A significant judgement must be made to determine the estimated income tax. The large number of transactions and calculations make it difficult to determine the income tax during normal business procedures. The group recognises liabilities for additional payment of taxes that may originate from reviews by the tax authorities. When tax audits indicate a final result different from the initially recorded amounts, the differences will have an impact on the income tax and on deferred taxes in the period in which those differences are identified.

c) Provisions

The group on a periodic basis examines possible obligations arising from past events that should be recognized or disclosed.

The subjectivity inherent in determining the probability and amount of internal resources required to settle these obligations may result in significant adjustments due to changes in the assumptions used or the future recognition of provisions previously disclosed as contingent liabilities.

d) Fixed tangible and intangible assets

The determination of lifetime period of the assets and the depreciation method to be applied, is essential to determine the amount of depreciation to be recognized in the income statement for each year.

According to the best judgment of the Board of Directors and considering the practices adopted by companies in the sector internationally these two parameters are set for the assets and business in question.

(1) changes in period are due to KFC restaurants in Angola.

Investments for the year 2014 and 2013 on fixed assets in the amount of about 13 million and 10 million, respectively, are related to the opening of new units and renovation of the existing ones, in Portugal and in Spain.

We also carried out a sensitivity analysis of the impairment tests for fixed assets of "Sol" restaurants, with the premises used, those evaluation values were on the edge of generating impairment losses.

A variation of the discount rate in perpetuity of 1% and 2% would result in a further loss of 620.000 euros and 1.400.000 euros, respectively.

Further to the termination of lease contracts in the years ended on 31 December 2014 and 2013, the following assets were used under a financial lease:
