First Half of 2022 Results Report

Sonae

Shaping tomorrow, today

Maia, 27th July 2022

1H22 Highlights

Key Performance Indicators

  • Sonae's NAV amounted to $\oplus$ 3.8bn at the end of 1H22, highly influenced by the Group's strong operational performance, which partially offset the negative sentiment in equity markets and the resulting decline in peer multiples in anticipation of a more challenging economic context. Total Shareholder Return (TSR) reached 54% at the end of June 2022 and the share price increased by 12% vs the end of 1Q22 and 17% vs YE21, demonstrating shareholders' confidence in Sonae's assets and strategy execution.
  • Consolidated turnover delivered a strong performance in 2Q22 of +10.7% yoy to €1.8bn, mainly fuelled by MC, reaching $\epsilon$ 3.4bn in 1H22 (+7.9% yoy). NOS and ISRG once again delivered positive top line growth.
  • Online sales decelerated from 1H21, correcting from the lockdown period, but still remaining significantly above pre-pandemic levels in all retail operations (having more than doubled vs. 1H19). All businesses continued to decisively roll out their digital programs so as to retain and expand their respective leadership positions.
  • 2Q22 EBITDA reached €172m, a 5.2% yoy growth, driven by an increase in underlying EBITDA and the positive evolution of all equity accounted businesses, following good operational performance, coupled with capital gains from portfolio transactions. In 1H22, EBITDA improved 10.6% yoy to €319m.
  • Sonae's net result (group share) increased 22.5% to €76m in 2Q22, reaching €118m in 1H22, an 89.1% growth from the €62m posted last year.
  • €632m of cash flow (before dividend payments) was generated in the last 12 months, backed by the solid operational performance of the Group's businesses and the portfolio management activity in the period.
  • Notwithstanding the dividend payment made in last May, net debt decreased yoy by almost €400m to €1.1bn. Sonae maintains a solid capital structure with a low cost of debt (less than 1%) and an average maturity profile of more than 4 years.

Portfolio Management Activity

During 2Q22, Bright Pixel continued its portfolio management activity: two exit agreements announced (Cellwize and Maxive, the latter still not concluded), and two new investments. At the end of 1H22, Bright Pixel had expanded its portfolio with 4 new shareholdings and reached relevant exit agreements, apart from the regular follow-on investments in some of its portfolio companies.

CEO letter

In the first half of 2022, and as we were preparing ourselves for a post-pandemic world, we were once again faced with a completely new and challenging reality, this time marked by intense supply chain disruptions, a surge in energy costs, and rising inflation and interest rates. This context, intensified by the war in Ukraine, had a significant impact on our communities and on our businesses, and put us once again to the test.

Despite the decrease in consumer confidence and an intense pressure on our cost structure, Sonae's portfolio continued to prove its adaptability, resilience, and ability to respond to customer needs. During the first half of the year, our portfolio was able to deliver a solid set of results with our businesses reinforcing once again their respective market leadership positions while consolidating their digital transformation paths.

At the end of June, total revenues increased 8% yoy and EBITDA grew more than 10% yoy. This consolidated operational performance, coupled with our active portfolio management, generated more than €600m in cash flow over the last 12 months, which, after the dividend payment to our shareholders last May, resulted in a yoy net debt reduction of almost €400m.

Sonae's share price increased 17% vs YE21, an outstanding performance against the market, and total shareholder return reached 54%, at the end of June 2022. Despite the negative evolution in equity capital markets, Sonae's Net Asset Value reached €3.8bn, with positive contributions from the increased profitability of MC and ISRG, higher NAV levels at Sierra and Bright Pixel, and a higher market cap at NOS.

At the same time, we maintained our commitments towards our planet, our people and our communities. We continued to make progress on several initiatives and launched a few new ones, such as the pledge to Zero Deforestation by 2030, the endorsement of the UN Ocean Principles, and the efforts to support the Ukrainian refugees in Portugal under the "Sonae for Ukraine programme". More importantly, and considering the current context of soaring inflation, our businesses reinforced the support to our customers by deploying differentiated competitive offers to alleviate the pressure on households' disposable incomes.

Looking forward, I am confident that, given our portfolio of leading companies, our dedicated teams and our solid financial situation, we are in a good position to navigate well through the coming macroeconomic cycle. As always, we will remain focused and united in overcoming the economic, social and environmental challenges of our time. However, today's volatility and uncertainty mean that we need to act with an increased sense of collaboration, speed and ambition. This must and will be our mindset. At the end of the day, our culture and sense of purpose will undoubtedly be the key drivers of our success.

Cláudia Azevedo, CEO

(1) Other investments include Gosh and MDS (transaction to be completed). (2) Normalized average net debt.

In terms of portfolio management activity and during the last quarter, Bright Pixel agreed on two exits (Cellwize and Maxive, the latter still not concluded) and two new investments. Considering the last 12 months, it is also important to mention the sale of 24.99% of MC to CVC funds for €528m, the acquisition of 95.4% of Gosh Food, a reference UK player in the plant-based food sector, the sale of MC's 50% stake in Maxmat and the agreement reached by Universo to sell its 50% stake in MDS for €100m (which conclusion is pending required requlatory approvals).

In what concerns operational performance, Sonae's portfolio delivered encouraging figures: consolidated turnover registered a 10.7% yoy increase in the 2Q22 to €1.8bn, mainly anchored on the positive contribution from MC, and consolidated underlying EBITDA increased 1.8% yoy in the quarter to €139m. This positive evolution of our consolidated businesses, combined with the improved performance of our equity consolidated businesses and the capital gains from Bright Pixel's portfolio activity, led to a Direct Result of €63m in the 2Q22, +13.6% yoy. Indirect result stood at €30m in 2Q22, well above last year's figure (+€20m yoy), impacted by dividends received from the direct stake in NOS, the value of Sierra's investment properties and Bright Pixel's portfolio revaluations. All in all, Net result (group share) improved to €76m in the 2Q22, +€14m vs 2Q21 (€118m in the 1H22, +€56m yoy, mostly driven by the recovery of the activities most affected by the lockdown in the 1H21).

€m

In terms of operational cash flow, and in challenging conditions, Sonae's portfolio generated €136m over the last 12 months, a significant yoy increase, mainly driven by the working capital variation in MC due to the anticipation of payments to suppliers in 1H21 in the pandemic period and also the inflation impact on payables in 1H22.

Regarding the portfolio management activity, Sonae invested €244m, received €104m of dividends and €660m of cash proceeds from asset sales mainly related with the 24.99% stake sale in MC and the sale of MC's 50% stake in Maxmat. During the 1H22, the most relevant portfolio change was the acquisition of an additional 10% stake in Sierra for €83.5m.

Sonae's FCF (before dividends paid) in the last 12 months reached

€632m, which after the dividend paid last May, led to a decrease of almost €400m in the consolidated net debt (€1,103m at the end of the 1H22). With this strong cash flow generation, the group's capital structure remains robust with very comfortable leverage ratios and liquidity levels and is fully financed until early 2024. At the end of 2Q22, Sonae held €1.020m of available liquidity (cash and unused credit facilities), maintained a low cost of debt (less than 1%) and a debt maturity profile of over 4 years.

$MC - food retail1$

The increasingly challenging consumer context, characterized by accelerated inflation levels and a weakened purchasing power, led households to reallocate their family budgets. In this context, MC was swift to respond to evolving customer needs, prioritizing differentiated competitive offers and reinforcing savings solutions, which contributed for the company's solid performance.

During the 2Q22, MC's total turnover grew by 11.4% yoy, with the LfL at +9.8%, fuelled by a positive performance across the portfolio. While grocery formats accelerated in the quarter, outpacing market growth, non-grocery formats continued to recover from the pandemic restrictions enforced during the comparable period (LfL of +19.1%). This 2Q top line performance led the 1H22 turnover to reach €2.7bn, implying a 7.6% yoy growth (LfL of +6.0%), reflecting customers' high recognition levels. The company's online operation kept its 3% weight on total turnover, and despite the deceleration when compared to the high pandemic growth from the 1H21, remained more than 2x pre-pandemic levels.

MC continues to invest in the expansion, modernisation and refurbishment of its store network, as well as in the development of its digital and logistic capabilities, with capex amounting to $€44m$ in the 2Q.

Regarding profitability, the positive evolution of the top line in the 1H22 helped to contain the pressures on the cost base, notably due to energy and fuel price

increases, leading underlying EBITDA to grow to €242m with the margin standing at 9.0%.

Considering the positive operational performance, the execution of its investment plan and the working capital impacts, MC was able to deliver a sound FCF generation in the 1H22, €36m higher than in the same period of last year, even after the dividend payment of €243m. Consequently, MC's net financial debt reached €628m at the end of June and the ratio total net debt/underlying EBITDA stood at 3.1x (vs 3.3x in the 1H21). Additionally, and in this last quarter, MC closed the first Iberian ESG linked supply chain financing solution aiming to foster and support suppliers ESG transition and commitments.

Worten - electronics retail

Worten posted a strong set of results in the 2Q22, fully recovering from a challenging first quarter resulting from tough comparable sales in 1Q21, due to stellar sales of IT related products during the lockdown, and the slow sales of heating products following this year mild winter. The 2Q22 was marked by a market recovery in a context of widespread inflation.

Worten turnover grew by 5.9% yoy to €261m in the 2Q22 (LfL of +4.2%), with positive contributions from both geographies. This good top line performance more than offset the previously reported sales gap versus last year, leading 1H22 turnover to grow by 0.6% yoy, reaching €521m.

The online channel continues to be an important growth avenue, now representing 15.6% of total turnover, which is below the exceptionally high rates observed during the lockdown periods but is significantly higher than the prepandemic levels (5% in 1H19).

The top line increase in 2Q22 and the improved operational margin, resulting from a more services oriented and favourable sales mix, did not fully offset the operational cost increases, due to higher staff costs (as stores had restricted operation hours last year), higher energy and fuel prices and the company's continued investment in its digital transformation and in evolving its business

model. Consequently, underlying EBITDA stood at €12m in 2Q22 (4.7% margin) and €26m in 1H22 (4.9% margin), standing below the high 1H21 profitability level, but clearly above previous comparable periods.

Sierra - real estate

Sierra recorded a positive 2Q22 at its shopping centre portfolio, its services business and on the execution of its growth avenues. Tenant sales at its European shopping centre portfolio outperformed 2019 levels by 8.3%, consistently across all countries. Sierra's services business recorded a 22.7% yoy top line increase and the execution of its development pipeline and investment management strategy also evolved favourably.

Sierra's European shopping centre portfolio recorded a c.60% yoy (LfL) increase in tenant sales, and a higher occupancy rate of 97.2%. This positive operational performance enabled a reduction of the rental discounts, which are converging to 2019 levels. Furthermore, the resilience of the portfolio was further evidenced through high collection rates and the increase in valuations, which was mainly driven by operational improvements.

In terms of strategy execution, the company has been making significant progress, namely by (i) executing the conversion of its development pipeline in projects under construction, (ii) entering the final phases of execution of new investment vehicles, and (iii) signing new contracts for retail and condominium management, for leasing services, as well as for new projects.

Net Result

YE21

On a proportional accounting basis, in 1H22 total Net Result reached €28.1m,

a strong improvement when compared to the same period of last year, with a contribution of +€20.2m from the Direct Result and of $+67.9$ m from the Indirect Result.

Regarding NAV, according to INREV methodology, Sierra registered an increase of 5.7% at the end of June vs. YE21, mainly driven by the aforementioned positive Net Resut in the period and a favourable FX impact related to the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and the Colombian Peso.

Finally, and in what concerns the company's leverage profile, Sierra's gross loan-to-value reduced by 1.5pp, when compared to YE21, to 44.3%, once again in line with its targets.

Zeitreel - fashion retail

For our fashion business, the 2Q22 continued to be impacted by a demanding context, with the conflict in Ukraine affecting consumer confidence and the inflationary trends pressuring consumers disposable income. Notwithstanding, Zeitreel has been proving its resilience, leveraging a diverse portfolio of brands and channels, with turnover recovering to pre-pandemic levels. In the 2Q22 total turnover reached €78m, +4.3% yoy (LfL of +6.2%) and in 1H22, top line stood at $\epsilon$ 174m, +28.1% yoy and a LfL of +32.8%, both in line with 2019 figures.

Online sales weight reached 8.9% of total turnover in 1H22, showing a correction from last year's figure that was influenced by a large period with limitations in store operations, but continuing above pre-pandemic levels, leveraged by an omnichannel approach.

Following top line performance, Zeitreel delivered an underlying EBITDA of €1.3m in the 2Q and of $\epsilon$ 7.3m in the 1H22, a significant improvement of $\epsilon$ 5.9m vs last year, despite the additional cost pressures in relevant cost lines, such as utilities, staff and logistic costs, offset by a leaner cost base implemented in the last few years and that led to efficiency gains.

Underlying EBITDA $\epsilon$ m)

Universo - financial services

During the 2Q22, Universo's activity continued to show a positive evolution, with the credit backbook building up and phasing-out from the previous business model.

Despite the macroeconomic context affecting consumers' confidence. Universo's production continued to register a clear recovery from last year, fuelled by all business lines. In the 2Q22, Universo production increased 13% yoy, leading to a total production of €528m in the 1H22, +17% yoy.

The client base surpassed the 1 million threshold, adding more than 90k credit card holders when compared to the end of 1H21 and 17k vs 1Q22. The company's digital footprint continued to be reinforced, with relevant investments in this channel, including the launch of Universo's digital onboarding tool. The focus on digital initiatives allowed Universo's total customer base to reach 65% of digital clients in the 1H22.

In terms of operational performance, the turnover level more than doubled in the quarter vs. 2Q21, reaching €17m in the 1H22. The company's profitability continued to recover as expected, with underlying EBITDA improving €4m in the 2Q and €6m in the 1H yoy, benefiting from a more mature credit portfolio, as aforementioned, that more than offset the impact of the company's investments on its cost structure, namely on its digital channel and customer service.

Total Production

Bright Pixel - investment in technology

During the last three months, Bright Pixel continued its portfolio management activity, namely through exit movements and investments in (i) new companies and (ii) follow-ons in some of its portfolio companies.

On the exit side, Bright Pixel agreed to sell, jointly with remaining minority shareholders, the total share capital and voting rights of Maxive, the holding company that aggregates S21sec and Excellium, to Thales Europe (estimated capital gain of €63m), with closing pending from customary regulatory approvals. Additionally, the company sold its minority stake in Cellwize, a company in its portfolio since 2019, to Qualcomm Technologies (total proceeds of €22.5m, and an estimated capital gain of €13.8m).

On the portfolio expansion, Bright Pixel concluded two new investments totalling €12.8m in Retail Tech and Digital Infrastructure segments; and completed followon investments in some of its portfolio companies, namely Sales Layer and Portainer io in financing rounds of US\$25m and US\$6.2m, respectively.

Overall, the cash invested in the active portfolio reached €171m at the end of the 1H22, +8.1% QoQ and +2.2% YTD. NAV stood at €416.5m, +10.1% QoQ and +5.4% vs YE21, driven by the new investments coupled with the positive evolution of the current portfolio value, which more than offset the companies' exits.

$NOS - telecommunications2$

NOS published its 2Q22 results on July 20th. Turnover increased by 8.1% yoy in the quarter to €369m, with a growth of 68.1% yoy in the Media & Entertainment segment and of 5.6% yoy in the telecom business. The quarter was marked by a strong return of spectators to the cinemas in a path of fast convergence to the pre-pandemic levels. In the telecom business, the positive evolution was driven by both B2B and B2C service solutions, the latter mainly due to an increase in net subscribers of the mobile services, and by a recovery in roaming revenues. All in all, in 1H22 turnover stood at €742m, implying a 9.4% vov increase.

Regarding profitability, 2Q22 EBITDA grew 5.4% yoy to €163m and +5.1% yoy in the 1H22 to $\epsilon$ 322m, with a 43.4% margin. Net income increased 2.0% yoy in the 2Q22 to €44m, implying an equity method contribution to Sonae's results of €10m in the quarter, reaching €19m in the 1H22.

FCF (ex-dividend, financial investments and own shares) totalled $\epsilon$ 30.6m in the quarter, slightly above 2Q21, as higher EBITDA levels more than offset the increased capex related to the 5G deployment programme and the FttH3 network expansion.

In terms of capital structure, after the dividend payment of €142m, in line with last year, net financial debt/EBITDA after lease payments stood at 2.15x.

ISRG - sports retail4

ISRG continued to improve its operational performance with sales already surpassing pre-pandemic levels both from organic operations and from the recently acquired businesses. The top line performance is in fact encouraging considering the macroeconomic context and the sector's trade environment still marked by several supply chain disruptions.

In the L3M 22 (feb-apr), total sales increased by 80% yoy to €255m, fuelled by all brands that are recovering from last year's COVID-19 restrictions in Spain and lockdown in Portugal. Total sales registered a double-digit growth in the L6M 22 of more than 71% yoy, reaching €621m. The online channel continued to expand its contribution already reaching 20.2% of the top line in the L6M 22, mainly fuelled by Deporvillage's acquisition in 2021.

Regarding profitability, despite the increased pressure in the cost base, mainly from energy and transportation costs, together with some channel mix affecting the margin, the top line strong recovery led to an increase in the EBITDA level of €15m vov in the quarter, and of €18m in the L6M 22 to €49m.

All in all, the company's equity contribution to Sonae's results increased €3.0m to €1.7m in the quarter, totalling €8.3m in the L6M 22 (+€5.1m yoy).

(Amounts stated in euros)

$2.$ Principal accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied in comparative periods.

$2.1$ Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), as adopted by the European Union as from the consolidated financial statements issuance date.

Interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented quarterly, in accordance with IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting". As such, they do not include all the information to be disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the previous year.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and accounting records of the company and subsidiaries, adjusted in the consolidation process, on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for some financial instruments and properties investments which are stated at fair value.

New accounting standards and their impact in these consolidated financial statements:

Up to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, the European Union endorsed the following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions some of which become mandatory during the year 2022:

Standards (new and amendments) effective
Changes
as at 1 January 2022
Effective date (for
financial years beginning
on or after)
IAS 16 - Proceeds before intended use Prohibition of deducting the proceeds obtained from the sale of items produced during the
testing phase, to the acquisition cost of property, plant and equipment.

particular contract has become onerous.

framework

provisions and contingent liabilities within the scope of a business combination.
01 Jan 2022

These standards were first applied by the Group in 2022, however, the impacts were not relevant in the accompanying financial statements.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions have been endorsed by the European Union, until the date of approval of these financial statements and are mandatory for future economic years:

Standards (new and amendments) that will
become effective, on or after 1 January 2023.
already endorsed by the EU
Changes Effective date (for
financial vears beginning
on or after)
IFRS 17 - Insurance contracts New accounting for insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts

aggregation of insurance contracts; iii) recognition; iv) measurement; $v$ ) modification and
derecognition; vi) presentation of the Statement of Financial Position; vii) recognition and
measurement of the Income statement; and viii) disclosures.
01 Jan 2023

policies.
01 Jan 2023
IAS 8 - Disclosure of accounting estimates Definition of accounting estimate. Clarification as to the distinction between changes to
accounting policies and changes to accounting estimates.
01 Jan 2023

The following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions were not at to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements endorsed by the European Union:

Standards (new and amendments) that will
become effective, on or after 1 January 2023,
not yet endorsed by the EU
Changes Effective date (for
financial years beginning
on or after)
IAS 1 - Presentation of financial statements -

its payment. New definition of "settlement" of a liability.
01 Jan 2023
IAS 12 - Deferred tax related to assets and
liabilities arising from a single transaction
Requirement to recognize deferred tax on the recognition of assets under right of use /
lease liability and provisions for decommissioning / related asset, when their initial
recognition gives rise to equal amounts of taxable temporary differences and deductible
temporary differences, because of not being relevant for tax purposes.
01 Jan 2023
IFRS 17 - Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS
9 - Comparative Information
This amendment allows to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets
and insurance contract liabilities in the comparative information presented, when first
applying IFRS 17. This amendment allows the application of a classification overlay to a
financial asset for which the entity does not restate IFRS 9 comparative information.
01 Jan 2023

The Group did not proceed with the early implementation of any of these standards in the financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2022 since their application is not mandatory, lying in the process of analyzing expected effects of those standards.

4. Segment information

Sonae has in its portfolio 8 business segments:

  • MC is the undisputed leader in the Portuguese food retail market (offline and online); $\bullet$
  • Worten is a leading omnichannel retailer of products and services, with a focus on household $\bullet$ appliances and consumer electronics;
  • Sierra is the fully integrated operator in the real estate sector;
  • Zeitreel is the largest Portuguese fashion group (Salsa, Mo, Zippy and Losan); $\bullet$
  • Universo is a fast-growing digital financial services operator in Portugal; $\bullet$
  • Bright Pixel is an active and specialized investor with a focus on retail technology, digital $\bullet$ infrastructure and cybersecurity;
  • NOS is the leading convergent operator in the Portuguese telecommunications market; and $\bullet$
  • Iberian Sports Retail Group (ISRG) is one of the largest and fastest growing Iberian sports retailers (Sprinter, SportZone, JD and Size?).

These segments were identified taking into account the following criteria/conditions: the fact that they are units of the group that develop activities where income and expenses can be separately identified, in

relation to which financial information is developed separately, their operating results are regularly reviewed by management and on which it makes decisions about, for example, allocation of resources, the fact that they have similar products/services and also taking into account the quantitative threshold (as provided for in IFRS 8).

Financial Investment in NOS

The value on the income statement related to ZOPT results from net income of NOS, the net income of ZOPT and the impact on results of the process of allocating the fair value to the assets and liabilities acquired by ZOPT.

On 30 June 2022, it was considered that the assumptions made in the impairment tests carried out in 2021 did not have significant variations.

With regard to ZOPT's financial participations in Finstar and ZAP Media (Finstar consolidated), the Board of Directors of NOS and ZOPT is certain that the patrimony seizure to Mrs. Isabel dos Santos, in the specific case of the shares held by her in Finstar and ZAP Media (where she holds 70% of the capital), does not change the control profile, in this case joint control as defined in IFRS 11.

In January 2022, the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) with the National Asset Recovery Service of the OPG, representing the Angolan State, requested, at the Luanda District Court, i) the replacement of the current trustees of the companies Finstar and ZAP Media (current Boards of Directors of the companies) by the Ministry of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Social Communication (MTTICS), as well as, ii) the inhibition of voting rights by Isabel dos Santos, requests that the Court granted. Still waiting for further developments on this decision, namely that it does not allow for further appeal, to assess its impact on the management of the business. The Board of Directors of NOS is currently convinced - based on the statements that have been made by the new trustee, MTTICS - that the activity of the companies will continue to develop normally.

On 4 April 2020, Sonaecom was informed by its subsidiary ZOPT of the communication it received from the Central Criminal Investigation Court of Lisbon ('Court') to proceed with the preventive seizure of 26.075% of NOS share capital, corresponding to half of the shareholding in NOS held by ZOPT and, indirectly, by the companies Unitel International Holdings, BV and Kento Holding Limited, controlled by

Mrs. Isabel dos Santos. Under the terms of that communication, the foreclosed shares (134,322,268.5 shares) would be deprived of the exercise of voting rights and the right to receive dividends, the latter of which should be deposited with Caixa Geral de Depósitos, S.A. at the order of the Court. The other half of ZOPT's participation in NOS share capital, corresponding to an identical percentage of 26.075% - and which, at least in line with the criterion used by the Court, embodies the 50% held in ZOPT by Sonaecom - was not subject to seizure, nor the rights inherent to it have been subject to any limitation.

It is the understanding of the board of directors of ZOPT and SONAECOM that the measure of arrest imposed is illegitimate and offends several fundamental rights of ZOPT - third party in relation to the decreed arrest - not being legally liable to determine the deprivation of voting rights, not even to inhibit the holder of the arrested shares from continuing to exercise those rights, which deprivation we understand for this reason, be null and without any effect. Thereafter, ZOPT has deducted third-party embargoes.

On 12 June 2020, ZOPT was notified of the order issued by the Lisbon Central Criminal Investigation Court, which authorizes it to exercise the voting right corresponding to the 26.075% of NOS share capital preemptively held to the order of that Court. This notification reinforces the understanding of the Boards of Directors of ZOPT and Sonaecom, according to which the conditions of control of ZOPT over NOS are fulfilled, and that that measure will have no material effect on the control of this company.

Still in June 2020, the Investigating Judge rejected the third-party embargoes deducted by ZOPT on the grounds of incompetence of the Portuguese courts to assess and decide, a decision that, having been appealed by ZOPT, was revoked by the Court of Justice, already in 2021. In a decision dated 25.11.2021, the investigating judge dismissed the objections and maintained the preventive seizure. ZOPT appealed against this decision to the Lisbon Court of Appeal. On June 2022, ZOPT was notified of the decision that dismissed the appeal, which was the subject of a nullity claim. Further developments are awaited.

On 19 August 2020, Sonaecom communicated the intention of the shareholders of ZOPT (Sonaecom, Unitel International Holdings, BV and Kento Holding Limited) to liquidate the company, maintaining Sonaecom as the reference shareholder of NOS. To date, the efforts to dissolve the ZOPT have not yet been carried out.

During 2020 and 2021, ZOPT was notified of a number of court decisions concerning the ZOPT shares held by KENTO and Unitel International Holdings and the respective right to receive dividends, specifically the following: (i) preventive preservation in case no. 210/20.4TELSB, of the Central Criminal Court, Single Section, concerning 32.65% of ZOPTs share capital held by Unitel International Holdings and 124,234,675 ZOPT shares held by KENTO, with the deprivation of the exercise of voting rights and the right to receive dividends; (ii) seizure decreed in process no. 14012/20.4T8PRT, by Judge 6 of the Central Civil Court of Póvoa de Varzim, over the shares of ZOPT held by Unitel International Holdings, with all the respective rights of patrimonial nature, including the right to receive dividends; (iii) pledge decreed in process no. 7418/21.3T8LSB, by Judge 2 of the Lisbon Execution Court, of 124,234,675 ZOPT shares held by Kento and of the dividends of those shares; (iv) preservation decreed in process no. 17561/21.3T8LSB-A, by Judge 12 of the Lisbon Central Civil Court, over the ZOPT shares held by KENTO and Unitel International Holdings and over the dividends that have not yet been distributed or that may be deliberated. In relation to the pledge, identified in (iii), ZOPT was also notified by Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD), as the beneficiary of the pledge of the shares held by Kento in ZOPT, stating that it was vested with the power to exercise the voting rights attached to the Shares, and all other inherent rights,

and that Kento was deprived of exercising such rights without the prior express written consent of CGD. It is the understanding of the ZOPT Board of Directors that, whenever the economic value of the shares is not at stake, CGD, as a pledging creditor of Kento, should act in accordance with Kento's instructions when exercising its voting rights, which means voting in the direction defined by Kento.

Despite the facts described above considering that, there has been no change in the Board of Directors of ZOPT and that decisions on the operating activity of the investee company continue to be taken in accordance with what was being done, we concluded that the profile of joint control over the ZOPT has not changed.

ZOPT Group provisions

The evolution in provisions occurred during the first 6 months of 2022 compared to 31 December 2021 was as follows:

The total amount of the notifications unpaid is about 37 million euro, added interest, and charges. These settlement notes, which totally were contested, are the respective lawsuits in progress.

Actions by MEO against NOS S.A., NOS Madeira and NOS Acores and by NOS S.A. against MEO

After the judgment was carried out, in May 2022, the court partially accepted NOS, condemning MEO to pay 7.9 million euros, a decision that has not yet become final. It is understanding of the Board of Directors of NOS and ZOPT, corroborated by attorneys accompanying the process, that it is, in formal and substantive terms, likely that NOS SA will be able to win the lawsuit, due to MEO already having been convicted for the same offences by ANACOM.

Action brought by DECO

In March 2018, NOS was notified of a lawsuit brought by DECO against NOS, MEO and NOWO, in which a declaration of nullity of the obligation to pay the price increases imposed on customers at the end of 2016 is requested.

After the discussion and judgment sessions were held in June 2022, the conclusion of the process is now pending the parties' allegations, which were scheduled for September 2022. The Board of Directors of NOS and ZOPT are convinced that the arguments used by the author are not justified, which is why it is believed that the outcome of the proceeding should not result in significant impacts for the Group's financial statements.

Interconnection tariffs

At 30 June 2022, accounts receivable and accounts payable include 37,139,253 euros and 43,475,093 euros, respectively, resulting from a dispute between the subsidiary NOS SA and, essentially, the operator MEO - Serviços de Comunicação e Multimédia, S.A. (previously named TMN - Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais, S.A.), in relation to the non-definition of interconnection tariffs of 2001. In what concerns to that dispute with MEO, the result was totally favourable to NOS S.A., having already become final.

Presentation of consolidated income statements 23.

In the Management Report, and for the purposes of calculating financial indicators as EBIT, EBITDA and Underlying EBITDA the consolidated income statement is divided between Direct Income and Indirect Income.

The Indirect Income includes the contribution of Sierra, net of taxes that result from: (i) valuation of investment properties; (ii) gains (losses) with the sale of financial investments, joint ventures or associates; (iii) impairment losses relating to non-current assets (including Goodwill) and (iv) provisions for assets at risk. Additionally and with regard to the portfolio of Sonae, it includes: (i) impairment of real estate assets for retail, (ii) decreases in Goodwill, (iii) negative Goodwill (net of taxes) related to acquisitions in the

financial year, (iv) provisions (net of tax) for possible future liabilities, and impairments related to noncore investments, businesses and discontinued assets (or to be discontinued / repositioned), (v) valuation results based on the methodology "mark-to-market" of other current investments that will be sold or traded in the near future and (vi) other irrelevant issues

The value of EBITDA, Underlying EBITDA and EBIT are calculated in the direct income component, i.e. excluding the indirect contributions.

The reconciliation between the two presentation formats for the consolidated income statement for the periods ended 30 June 2022 and 2021 can be summarized as follows:
