MANAGEMENT REPORT

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

I am pleased to be able to inform our stakeholders that our plants in Mangualde and Oliveira do Hospital, affected by the forest fires in 4Q17, are now operating close to their desired capacity levels and that the sales ramp up has gradually been accelerating enabling us once again to fully serve our customers.

It is also encouraging that during the first half of 2018, Sonae Indústria generated a net profit of 18.9 million Euros, significantly above last year, driven mainly by the strong contribution from Sonae Arauco but also benefiting from the positive contribution of our North American business with an improvement in performance during the second quarter compared to the first quarter of the year.

Recurrent EBITDA of our fully owned businessesimproved in the second quarter as anticipated, with our North American business increasing Turnover while benefiting from lower input costs when compared with the previous quarter. However, North America's Recurrent EBITDA in 1H18 was lower than last year mainly as a result of higher transportation costs both for inbound wood supply and for outbound supply of finished products, higher thermal energy costs due to the severe winter in 1Q18, and some production issues in one of our lines which will be addressed during the 2019 maintenance stoppage. Results in our Laminates business in 1H18 were impacted by a lower top line when compared to last year due primarily to the loss of volumes from a customer in Northern Europe that have only been progressively and partially recovered.

I would like to highlight that as from 3Q18 our North America business will bring to the market a unique HPL matching of the complete decorative MFC collection using HPL supplied by our Laminates business in Portugal under the new brand Surforma. This is a strategic project that should bring substantial benefits for both businesses.

Sonae Arauco delivered sound results during the first half of the year with higher Recurrent and Total EBITDA when compared to the same period of last year, benefiting from improved profitability of its underlying business. Notwithstanding higher variable costs versus 1H17, namely chemicals and wood, Sonae Arauco generated a Recurrent EBITDA that is 2.4 million Euros above last year. Sonae Arauco results also reflect the recognition of insurance income related with the fires that affected its two plants in Portugal, in respect of business interruption and property damage.

Considering our 50% share of Sonae Arauco's figures, LTM Proportional Recurrent EBITDA was at 83.1 million Euros and Proportional Net Debt at 313 million euros leading to a stable leverage ratio of circa 3.8x. The increase in Proportional Net Debt when compared to 1H17 is due to the higher Net Debt at Sonae Arauco which reflects the investment effort we are making in respect of our existing asset base and the fact that we had not yet received the full expected amount of insurance compensation during the 1H18.

As part of our plan at Sonae Arauco to improve the competitiveness of our plants and our focus on customer needs, we have approved an investment to replace the two multi daylight particleboard presses at our Beeskow plant in Germany, by a new continuous press with state of the art technology.

Finally, it should be noted that Sonae Indústria's capital structure continues to strengthen, a process that began more than two years ago, and continued in the quarter as a result of the strengthening of Shareholders' Funds and with Net Debt marginally below the previous quarter.

Paulo Azevedo Chairman, Sonae Indústria

1.Sonae Indústria Results

1.1. Proportional Results (unaudited)

SUMMARY OF 1H18 RESULTS

Due to the fact that one of Sonae Indústria's main assets (its 50% shareholding in Sonae Arauco) is accounted by the Equity method since June 2016, this section 1.1. provides unaudited Proportional Indicators, to help improve the understanding of size of the business, valuation and financial leverage of Sonae Indústria. These Proportional Indicators consider the full results of our wholly owned businesses and the proportional consolidation of the 50% contribution from Sonae Arauco.

FINANCIAL INDICATORS (unaudited) 1H17 1H18
Proportional Turnover 331 317
Proportional Rec. EBITDA 48 42

Net Debt of Sonae Indústria 213 208
Asset Value2 497 447
LTV (Net Debt of Sonae Indústria / Asset Value) 43% 47%

2 Calculated as described in the Glossary of Terms. This compares with a Consensus 'Asset Value' of EUR 522M based on the average of the sum of the parts valuation (as at year-end 2018) of Sonae Indústria assets carried out by two independent equity research houses.

Proportional Turnover in 1H18 was circa 13.2 million euros lower than in the same period of last year. This evolution was driven by a lower contribution from the fully owned businesses primarily due to the depreciation of the Canadian dollar, and by a 3.2 million euros lower contribution by Sonae Arauco explained by fact that the two Sonae Arauco plantsin Portugal that had been hit by the forest fires in October 2017, only gradually resumed production in the first four months of the current year (and the insurance income related with business interruption is not included under Turnover items).

Proportional Recurrent EBITDA in 1H18 was circa 5.5 million euros lower than in the same period of last year. This evolution was driven by a lower contribution from fully owned businesses as Sonae Arauco recurrent EBITDA contribution increased by circa 1.2 million euros when compared to 1H17.

For the first half of the year, Net Debt to Recurrent EBITDA (proportional) stood at circa 3.8x, which represents an increase of circa 0.4x vs. 1H17. Loan to Value also increased when compared to 1H17, reaching circa 47% at the end of 1H18.

1.2. Consolidated Results

Consolidated Turnover for the first half of the year reached 111.8 million euros, a reduction of circa 10.0 million euros vs. same period of last year, essentially driven by a 7.3 million euros unfavourable exchange rate effect resulting from the depreciation of the Canadian dollar vs. the EUR. For the quarter, Consolidated Turnover reached 57.5 million euros, down by circa 4.8 million euros vs. 2Q17, explained mainly by the unfavourable exchange rate evolution of the Canadian dollar and lower sales to the Nordic markets by our Laminates & Components business. However,when compared to the previous quarter, consolidated turnover increased by 3.2 million euros, driven by our North American business with higher sales volumes to the Canadian market and an increase in average selling prices.

Variable costs per cubic meter in local currency increased, when compared with the first half of 2017, mainly driven by higher input costs of wood (affected by higher transportation costs) and higherthermal energy costs (due to the extreme cold weather in Canada in 1Q18). For the quarter, variable costs per cubic meter increased

SUMMARY OF 1H18 RESULTS

when compared to 2Q17 mainly driven by higher input costs of wood, but decreased materially when compared to the previous quarter, with a reduction in most input costs and particularly thermal energy.

Recurrent EBITDA for the first half of the year reached circa 14.1 million euros, a reduction of circa 6.7 million euros vs. 1H17. The lower Recurrent EBITDA when compared to 1H17 is mainly explained by the already mentioned reduction in Turnover, which was only partially offset by the 2.6 million euros reduction on variable costs (which benefited from the Canadian dollar depreciation since local currency costs increased as previously explained). It should also be taken to account that 1Q17 included a positive one off effect on fixed costs of circa 1.5 million euros. The 1H18 Recurrent EBITDA margin reached 12.6%, down by 4.4 p.p. vs. 1H17. On a quarterly basis, Recurrent EBITDA for the 2Q18 stood at circa 8.3 million euros, a decrease of circa 2.8 million euros vs. 2Q17, but an increase of circa 2.5 million euros vs. 1Q18, driven by our North American business. The 2Q18 Recurrent EBITDA margin reached circa 14.4%, down by 3.3. p.p. vs. 2Q17, but up by 3.7 p.p. vs. 1Q18.

Consolidated EBITDA reached circa 13.9 million euros in the first semester of the year and 8.1 million euros in 2Q18, a reduction of circa 6.8 million euros and 2.8 million euros vs. 1H17 and 2Q17, respectively. However, when compared to the previous quarter, consolidated EBITDA increased circa 2.4 million euros. The evolution in Consolidated EBITDA is explained by the aforementioned performance of Recurrent EBITDA.

Total fixed costs represented 16.9% of turnover for 1H18 and 17.0% for 2Q18, an increase of circa 1.4 p.p. vs. 1H17 (which benefited from a positive one off effect on fixed costs of circa 1.5 million euros) and 0.6 p.p. vs. 2Q17, respectively, due to the reduction of Turnover as Fixed Costs are in both cases lower than in the same period of last year. When compared to the previous quarter, total fixed costs as a percentage of turnover increased circa 0.2 p.p..

Total headcount of Sonae Indústria, at the end of June 2018, was 493 FTE's excluding Sonae Arauco, which compares with 484 FTE's at the end of June 2017.

Depreciation and amortization charges were 6.3 million euros during 1H18 in line with the values booked for 1H17. For the quarter, the depreciation charges reached circa 3.2 million euros, also in line with the values booked for 2Q17 and 1Q18.

Net financial charges during 1H18 were circa 5.7 million Euros, which represents a reduction of 0.4 million euros vs. 1H17, mainly explained by an improvement of 0.7 million euros in net exchange differences (it should be noted that 2Q17 included a one off negative effect for foreign exchange differences and derivatives). In the quarter net financial charges reached circa 2.9 million euros, in line with the values booked for 1Q18 and a reduction of circa 0.5 million euros vs. 2Q17, due to already mentioned improvement in net exchange differences.

Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Resultsrefers to 50% of the net results of Sonae Arauco in the period (equity method accounting). For the first semester of the year, this amounted to circa 18.8 million euros, an increase of 9.5 million euros when compared to 1H17, benefiting from the recognition of the insurance income related to business interruption and property damage due to the fires that affected two Sonae Arauco plants in Portugal in October 2017. On a quarterly basis, Gains and Losses in Joint-Ventures reached circa 14.1 million euros, up by 9.3 million euros and by 9.0 million euros when compared to 1Q18 and 2Q17, respectively.

Current tax charges were circa 3.0 million euros for the first half of the year, a decrease of circa 1.0 million euros when compared to 1H17, mainly driven by lower tax charges in Canada. On a quarterly basis, current tax charges improved circa 0.4 million euros vs. 2Q17, but increased by 0.8 million euros when compared to the previous quarter, mainly driven by our North American business.

Net results were positive of 18.9 million euros for 1H18 and reached 15.1 million euros in 2Q18, an improvement of circa 4.9 million euros and 7.5 million euros when compared to 1H17 and 2Q17, respectively. The increase in Net results, when compared to 1H17 and 2Q17, is explained by the improvement in the net results of Sonae Arauco Joint-Venture. When compared to the previous quarter, net results increased 11.3 million euros, explained by the increase in Recurrent EBITDA of fully owned businesses and again by the improvement in the net results of our Joint Venture.

Investments in Joint-Ventures (50% shareholding in Sonae Arauco) reached 215.8 million euros, which is 5.1 million euros higher than the book value of this investment at the end of 1Q18, mostly due to our share of Sonae Arauco's results of circa 14.1 million euros, despite the impacts of (i) the amount of dividends to be paid by Sonae Arauco to Sonae Indústria booked in 1H18 and to be settled in 3Q18 in an amount of circa 6.4 million euros (which justify the increase in Current assets) and (ii) the unfavourable exchange rate evolution of the South African Rand of circa 2.5 million euros in the quarter.

Consolidated Working Capital reached 9.1 million euros, a decrease of 1.3 million euros when compared to March 2018, due to an increase in trade creditors balances in our North American operation.

Net Debt stood at circa 207.7 million euros at the end of June 2018, a decrease of 0.9 million euros vs. March 2018 and circa 5.1 million euros vs. June 2017.

Total Shareholders' Funds, at the end of June 2018, totaled circa 140.6 million euros, which represents an increase of 14.2 million euros when compared to March 2018, mainly explained by the positive impact from net results in the quarter.

Additions to Gross Tangible Fixed Assets reached 3.6 million euros in the first half of the year, in line with the values booked for 1H17, essentially related with recurrent maintenance and environmental investments.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2018

(Amounts expressed in euros)

1. INTRODUCTION

SONAE INDÚSTRIA, SGPS, SA has its head-office at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, 4470-177 Maia, Portugal.

The shares of the company are listed on Euronext Lisbon.

Consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 were not subject to a limited revision carried out by the company's statutory external auditor.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This set of consolidated financial statement has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies that were disclosed on the notes to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2017.

2.1. Basis of Preparation

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. As such, they do not include all the information which should be included in annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in connection with the financial statements for fiscal year 2017.

2.2. Changes to accounting standards

These consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), effective from 1 January 2018 and endorsed by the European Union.

2.2.1. In the period ended 30 June 2018, the following standards and interpretations, which had been endorsed by the European Union, became effective:

IFRS 2 (amendment), Classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. This amendment clarifies the measurement basis for cash-settled, share-based payments and the accounting for modifications to a share-based payment plan that change the classification an award from cash-settled to equity-settled. It also introduces an exception to the principles in IFRS 2 that will require an award to be treated as if it was wholly equity-settled, where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee's tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority;

IFRS 4 (amendment), Insurance contracts (Applying IFRS 4 with IFRS 9). This amendment allows companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognise in Other Comprehensive Income, rather than Profit or Loss the volatility that could rise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contract standard is issued. Additionally, it is given an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021, to the companies

whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance, not being applicable at consolidated level;

IFRS 9 (new), Financial instruments. IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39, regarding: (i) the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities; (ii) the recognition of credit impairment (through the expected credit losses model); and (iii) the hedge accounting requirements and recognition;

IFRS 15 (new), Revenue from contracts with customers. This new standard applies only to contracts with customers to provide goods or services and requires an entity to recognise revenue when the contractual obligation to deliver the goods or services is satisfied and by the amount that reflects the consideration the entity is expected to be entitled to, following a five step approach.

IFRS 15 (amendment) Revenue from contracts with customers. This amendment refers to additional guidance for determining the performance obligations in a contract, the timing of revenue recognition from a license of intellectual property, the review of the indicators for principal versus agent classification, and to new practical expedients to simplify transition;

IAS 40 (amendment), Transfers of Investment property. This amendment clarifies when assets are transferred to or from investment properties, the evidence of the change in use is required. A change of management intention in isolation is not enough to support a transfer;

Annual Improvement 2014 - 2016. The 2014-2016 annual improvements impacts: IFRS 1, IFRS 12 and IAS 28;

IFRIC 22 (new), Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration. An Interpretation to IAS 21 'The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates' it refers to the determination of the "date of transaction" when an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency denominated contracts. The date of transaction determines the exchange rate used to translate the foreign currency transactions.

2.2.2. At 30 June 2018, the following standards and interpretations had been issued by IASB and had been endorsed by the European Union, but had not been applied as they only become effective in later periods:

IFRS 9 (amendment), Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The amendment introduces the possibility to classify certain financial assets with negative compensation features at amortized cost, provided that specific conditions are fulfilled, instead of being classified at fair value through profit or loss;

IFRS 16 (new), Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This new standard replaces the IAS 17 with a significant impact on the accounting by lessees that are now required to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a "right-of-use asset" for all lease contracts, except for certain short-term leases and for lowvalue assets. The definition of a lease contract also changed, being based on the "right to control the use of an identified asset".

The Company still did not complete the analysis of the effects which may arise from the future application of these standards.

2.2.3. At 30 June 2018, the following standards, effective 1 January 2018 or later, had been issued by IASB but still had not been endorsed by the European Union:

IFRS 17 (new), Insurance contracts (effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2021). This standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This standard will revoke IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts and applies to all entities issuing insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation characteristics. IFRS 17 is based on the current measurement of technical liabilities at each reporting date. The current measurement can be based on a complete "building block approach" or "premium allocation approach". The recognition of the technical margin is different depending on whether it is positive or negative. IFRS 17 is of retrospective application;

IAS 28 (amendment), Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The amendment clarifies that long-term investments in associates and joint ventures (components of an entity's investments in associates and joint ventures), that are not being measured through the equity method, are to be measured in accordance with IFRS 9, being subject to impairment expected credit loss model prior to any impairment test of the investment as a whole;

Annual Improvement 2015 – 2017, (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). These improvements are still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The 2015-2017 annual improvements affects: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11;

IFRIC 23 (new), Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2019). This interpretation is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This is an interpretation of IAS 12 - Income tax referring to the measurement and recognition requirements to be applied when there is uncertainty as to the acceptance of an income tax treatment by the tax authorities. In the event of uncertainty as to the position of the tax authority on a specific transaction, the entity shall make its best estimate and record the income tax assets or liabilities under IAS 12 rather than IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, based on the expected value or the most probable value. The application of IFRIC 23 may be retrospective or retrospective modified.

The Company does not estimate any significant effect to arise from the application of these standards.

2.3. Translation of financial statements of foreign companies

In October 2017, industrial plants of Mangualde and Oliveira do Hospital, which are controlled by Sonae Arauco, S. A., a company 50%-owned by Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S. A., were hit by wild fires that affected central Portugal. As a consequence, the wood yards, the exposed equipment within the wood yards and the electrical and cabling systems were significantly damaged, forcing these plants to stop operating.

In the first half of 2018, both industrial plants resumed normal activity.

These plants are subject to an insurance policy that will indemnify them for property damage and business interruption losses.

In the period ended 30 June 2018, the results of Sonae Arauco Group included the following effects related to the aforementioned fires:

  • Insurance compensation gain relating to business interruption losses, which were estimated to amount to EUR 15 million;

  • Insurance compensation for property damages resulting from new equipment which replaced damaged ones, amounting to EUR 19.7 million;

  • Insurance compensation gain relating to losses in inventories and other losses, amounting to EUR 1 million.

The consolidated net profit of Sonae Arauco Group is recognized using the equity method in the Consolidated Income Statement for 50% of its amount, under Gains and losses in joint ventures, which therefore include 50% of the abovementioned effects.
