Privileged Information

July 29, 2013

Highlights:

Turnover: 113.7 M€ (108.6 M€ in 6M12)

EBITDA: 8.1 M€ (10.3 M€ in 6M12)

Net Profit: 3.6 M€ (4.5 M€ in 6M12)

Net Cash: 24.7 M€ (37.5 M€ in 12M12)

Message from the CEO - Luís Paulo Salvado

"The results of the first half confirm that growth returned to the company and reflect a good execution of the strategy set for 2013.

The Turnover increased by 5%, with the international business representing nearly 1/3 of the total business. In line with the Guidance, EBITDA and Net Profit decreased by 21%, due to the allocation of additional resources to international expansion. Also as anticipated, the convergence of working capital to historical values led to a decrease of 13 M€ in Cash.

Noteworthy is the growth in the domestic market, especially taking into account the context of great adversity and uncertainty. The pressure on margins remains, with higher impact on the IMS business that managed to retrieve in the second quarter, though. On the international level, highlights include the official opening of operations in Mozambique. In the quarter, also worth mention that Novabase left the PSI20 Index.

Despite the current challenging market conditions, we feel confident in the compliance of the targets set for the year. In the second half, we will continue to intensify the strategic orientation in our most distinctive offerings, key to the sustainability of international expansion.

Finally, given the current strength of the company's balance sheet, we will propose the payment of an extraordinary dividend of 0.5€ per share to the General Meeting of Shareholders to be held in September. With this proposal Novabase will have, since 2010, distributed to its shareholders 1.26€ per share for a total amount of 40 M€."

Novabase SGPS, S.A. Public Company . Euronext code: NBA.AM . Registered in TRO of Lisbon and Corporate Tax Payer nº 502.280.182 . Share Capital: 15,700,697.00 € . Head Office: Av. D. João II, Lote 1.03.2.3., 1998-031 Lisbon - PORTUGAL

1. Key Indicators Evolution

Turnover (M€)

Turnover above the annual Guidance linearized of 215 M€ (+5.8%), emphasizing that Portugal is growing again.

EBITDA (M€)

EBITDA above the annual mean Guidance linearized of 14-17 M€ and 7.2%: +4.2% above the middle of the range.

Evolution of profitability as expected, due to the costs associated to the reinforcement of the international expansion strategy and to an underperformance of IMS business.

Earnings per share (EPS) in 6M13 reached 0.12 euros per share, registering a decrease of 21.4% towards the EPS from the previous year of 0.15 euros per share.

From EBITDA to Net Profit 6M13 Vs 6M12 (M€)

The Amortizations and the Financial Results registered an increase of 0.4 M€.

Non-controlling interests in 6M13 amounted to -0.4 M€, which compares to -0.9 M€ in 6M12. This variation is mainly due to the evolution of the results of subsidiaries with significant investments in international expansion.

In the 6M13, Novabase shows a negative evolution in cash generation. Considering the last 12 months, we observe a cash use of 0.5 M€.

Novabase ended the 6M13 with 24.7 M€ in net cash, which compares to 37.5 M€ in the 12M12.

On June 3, 2013, Novabase paid its shareholders a total amount of 3.1 M€ (0.10€/share).

Cash use of 12.9 M€ in the first half of 2013, includes the payment of dividends and the expected increase of the investment in working capital, given the unusually lower levels recorded in the end of 2012.

2. Short Summary of the Activity

The results of the first half of 2013 are in line with the expectations set for the year, with focus on strengthening both the international expansion and the vertical integration and differentiation of Novabase offerings. It is worth noting that the Guidance included the costs associated to the development of these strategies.

Thus, compared to the same period of last year, the Turnover increased by 4.8%, with the international business representing 32.3% of the total business, but the EBITDA registered a decrease of 21.3%. The results of the first half remained above both the Turnover (+5.8%) and the EBITDA Guidance (+4.2% above the middle of the range), though.

According to the reorganization implemented in the Digital TV area in 2012 with the aim of maximizing synergies between all of the businesses, solutions geared toward TV operators were included in the Infrastructures & Managed Services (IMS) business, while System-in-Package (SIP) solutions were transferred to the Venture Capital business. The table below shows the Turnover and EBITDA for 6M11 and 6M12 related to each of the offerings, which were included in Digital TV area, and that were incorporated into the IMS and VC segments:

TV operators Solutions SIP Solutions
6M11 6M12 6M11 6M12
Turnover (M€) 23.835 12.789 3.684 7.028
EBITDA (M€) 2.027 0.832 -0.926 -0.962

Highlights include the official opening of operations in Mozambique in the first half of 2013. Novabase Mozambique aspires to be a key technology partner for leading banks and mobile operators, and play a major role in the government's structural projects. Another goal is to expand its position to the rest of the African market by exporting knowledge and technology from Mozambique.

In the Venture Capital area, the Venture Capital Fund Novabase Capital Inovação e Internacionalização invested in the companies SmartGeo Solutions, a company specialising in the deployment of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Power Data, a company focused on developing innovative solutions for the Utilities sector, and Radical Innovation, specializing in incubator projects in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and integrated services, supported by a multi-channel IT platform.

The entry into Mozambique is in line with the company's international expansion strategy, which continues to focus strongly on the African market.

These investments reflect the strengthening of Novabase's strategic commitment to innovative technology-based SMEs focused on the international market.

Also worthy of note in this first half of 2013, is the distinction of Collab who was given the Gold award for the "Best Contact Center Technology in 2013", attributed by the Portuguese Association of Contact Centers (APCC). Additionally, during the annual European Cisco partners meeting, Cisco Partner Summit 2013, Novabase received five awards for its performance in Portugal: Architectural Excellence Borderless Networks Partner of the Year, Architectural Excellence Data Center Partner of the Year, Architectural Excellence Service Provider Architecture Partner of the Year, Commercial Partner of the Year and Services Partner of the Year.

The percentage breakdown of Turnover and EBITDA by the different businesses, in the 6M13, is as follows:

Of the overall Turnover generated in 6M13, the services rendered represent 60.2%, which compares to 67.4% in 6M12.

Of the 113.7 M€ Turnover, 32.3% is generated outside Portugal, that is 36.7 M€, which compares to the 36.1 M€ registered in 6M12.

Business outside Portugal generated in the Business Solutions area increased to 32.3% of the respective invoicing (29.8% in 6M12). In the IMS business area, the international business in 6M13 decreased to 19.0% (26.0% in 6M12) and in the Venture Capital area increased to 96.4% (92.2% in 6M12).

Novabase had on average, in the 6M13, 2161 employees, which represents an increase of 1.3% compared to the 6M12 (2134).

3. Stock Performance

Novabase share price in 6M13 gained 8.3%, comparing to a 1.7% loss in the PSI20 Index and a 6.0% gain in the EuroStoxx Technology Index.

Novabase was included in PSI20 index as of March, 18, and left the referred index as of June, 24.

In this period, a dividend of 0.10€/share was distributed.

Given the strength of the company's balance sheet, the Board of Directors will propose to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on September, 25, the distribution to the shareholders of reserves and retained earnings in the amount of 15.7 M€, corresponding to 0.50€ per share.

VC EBITDA reflects the development stadium, strongly supported by R&D investments. This area should be analysed for more extended periods of time.

Excluding the shareholder remuneration, the appreciation of Novabase share price would be 12.5%.

The evolution of Novabase share prices compared to other companies in the IT sector in Europe, in 6M13, was as follows:

In the end of the second quarter of 2013, Novabase presented a Price to CF multiple of 5.41x and a Price to Sales multiple of 0.37x, which represents a discount of 41% and 40%, respectively, compared to the average of other companies in the sector in Europe.

Average upside of 64.7%, according to the analysts who cover Novabase.

The average price target disclosed by the analysts who cover Novabase is 4.10 euros, with unanimous recommendation to buy.

Rotation in 6M13 represented 13.0% of the capital and 4.1 million shares were traded, above the values in 6M12 (rotation of 8.1% of the capital and 2.5 million shares traded).

4. Outlook 2013

The results of the first half of 2013 are in line with the management expectations, being 5.8% above the Turnover Guidance and 4.2% above the EBITDA mean Guidance. The Turnover registered an increase of 4.8% due to the growth of both national and international businesses. As anticipated, EBITDA decreased by 21.3%, year on year, due to strong pressure on prices in the domestic market and, primarily, because of the costs associated to the reinforcement of the international expansion strategy.

Novabase is committed to compliance with the Guidance for 2013, reaffirming as its strategic priorities the intensification of the international expansion and the increase of investments in vertical integration and differentiation of its offerings.

João II, Lote 1.03.2.3, Parque das Nações – 1998-031 Lisboa - Portugal, holds and manages financial holdings in other companies as an indirect way of doing business, being the Holding Company of Novabase Group.

Novabase is listed on the Euronext Lisbon.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on July 25, 2013. In the opinion of the Board of Directors these financial statements fairly present the Group operations, as well as its financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

2. Significant accounting policies

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period of six months ended 30 June 2013 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim financial reporting'. The condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs, as adopted by the European Union (EU).

These financial statements are presented in thousands of euros (EUR thousand).

These financial statements have not been audited.

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012, as described in those financial statements.

Taxes on income in this interim period were accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings for the year 2013.

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of interim financial statements requires Management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant estimates and judgments made are the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

4. Seasonality

The activity of Business Solutions and IMS is usually lower in 3rd quarter due to holiday period.
