ACTIVITY REPORT

1- Message from Carlos Bianchi de Aguiar, CEO

"After a disappointing first quarter, we have been able to improve our performance in this quarter, generating additional contribution margin and keeping fixed costs under control.

Volumes sold during 2Q10 remained stable, and variable costs were flat compared with 1Q10, but 11% higher compared to 4Q09. Since 4Q09, wood cost per cubic meter increased by 15% and chemical costs per cubic meter were up by 10%.

Fixed costs in 1H10 are 9 million Euros below 1H09 and productivity grew by 20% (on a like-forlike basis), as a result of the restructuring measures we have implemented.

As already announced, our Lure plant (in France) was sold in April to Swedspan, a subsidiary of INGKA Group (which also owns IKEA's Group). Our decision to sell Lure is aligned with our strategy of strengthening our balance sheet and this transaction allowed us to cash-in 68 million Euros and thereby to decrease our Net Debt.

Our new matrix organisation, with two new functional roles within the Executive Committee: CM & SO1 and CI & TO2 is already in place and a number of new horizontal efficiency projects have been started from which we expect additional improvements in efficiency and savings in fixed costs.

We will continue to work hard to improve our profitability, seize opportunities and overcome the challenges ahead. I am counting on our team, as well as on our customers, shareholders, banks, suppliers and other stakeholders for their continued support to make Sonae Industria a sustainable and leading company."

3- Geographic Review of Operations

3.1- Iberia

Iberia continues to experience tough market conditions. New housing permits are still far below last year (24%3 in Spain and 8%4 in Portugal, respectively) but the quarter on quarter rate of decline3 , has been decreasing.

Iberia Turnover & Recurrent EBITDA MarginMn

Comparing 2Q10 with 1Q10, volumes sold in Iberia increased by 7%, mainly as a result of low levels sold in January and February. This effect resulted in a quarter on quarter turnover increase of 8%.

On the cost side, competition from biomass and pellets for wood resources, particularly in Portugal, continued to put pressure on wood prices. However, better weather conditions, compared to those experienced in 1Q10, led to lower energy consumption and higher efficiency, resulting in lower production costs.

3 Source: Ministerio de Fomento, July 2010 (for the period Jan. - Apr.) 4

Source: Instituto Nacional de Estatística, July 2010 (for the period Jan. - May)

Higher volumes sold, combined with lower production costs, resulted in a recurrent EBITDA margin recovery from 7% to 9%.

Comparing 2Q10 with 1Q10, Iberian volumes sold increased by 7%, turnover moved 8% up reaching 99 million Euros, and recurrent EBITDA recovered from 6 to 9 million Euros. Comparing 1H10 with 1H09, Iberian volumes sold increased 10% and turnover moved 13% up. Nevertheless, recurrent EBITDA margin decreased by 1pp, mainly caused by higher wood costs, compared to last year.

3.2- Central Europe (Germany, France and the UK)

In Central Europe demand for wood based panel products remained weak.

In Germany, new house construction permits (YoY Jan. – May) were up 6%5 , indicating a slow recovery compared to last year. We have been witnessed a positive and sustainable market, particularly for OSB, not only in the local market but also for exports. The recovering market, combined with lower supply, allowed us to increase our contribution margins, particularly in cases where they had previously decreased the most. Additionally, the restructuring process we have implemented has reduced our fixed costs, which is positively impacting our recurrent EBITDA margin.

In France, demand from the construction and furniture segments remains weak, but there are some positive trends, as housing permits increased by 15%6 (YoY Jan - May). Nevertheless, the effect of selling the Lure plant in April, led to a sales volume decrease from 1Q10 to 2Q10. However, higher profitability due to better weather conditions (compared to 1Q10) and the consequent increase in capacity utilization, combined with lower fixed costs as a result of restructuring, led to recurrent EBITDA break-even in June.

The UK grew during 2Q10 at the fastest pace seen over the last 4 years7 . Additionally, better weather conditions allowed our logistical operations, as well as our production costs to normalise. Moreover, capacity utilization improved, which led to better fixed cost dilution and a consequent increase in margins, when compared to 1Q10. When compared 1H10 with 1H09 and despite the

closure of PB plant in Coleraine in March 2009, turnover only decreased by 4% (in local currency) and EBITDA margin even increased 2pp.

In Central Europe, quarter on quarter, turnover increased by 4% to 181 million Euros, despite the sale of the Lure plant in April, and recurrent EBITDA recovered from 8 million Euros negative to 2 million Euros positive. When comparing 1H10 with 1H09, in spite of closing 18% of our production capacity in this region, turnover only decreased by 2% and recurrent EBITDA increased by 67%, or 3pp in terms of margin, which illustrates the effectiveness of the restructuring process we have implemented.

3.3- Rest of the World (Canada and South Africa)

On 26 August 2009, we sold Tafisa Brasil. In order to facilitate like-for-like comparisons, the RoW comparative figures in the chart below are shown both with and without the impact of the Brazilian operations.

The Canadian market recovered and posted a good set of results, but in South Africa, during this quarter, volumes sold were negatively affected by business uncertainty caused by the World Cup.

In North America, US housing starts increased by 20% (YoY Jan. – May)8 while Canadian housing starts were up by 57% (YoY Jan - May)9 , which is a sign of a market recovery, albeit from low levels. We also continue to increase our customer base, and the combination of these two effects resulted in volumes sold increasing by 7% from 1Q10 to 2Q10 and by 23% when comparing 1H10 with 1H09. Our Canadian plant continued to run at full operation during 2Q10, representing a further increase in capacity utilization of 9pp comparing 2Q10 to 1Q10 and of 16pp comparing 1H10 with 1H09. As a result, turnover in 2Q10 (in local currency) increased by 8% and recurrent EBITDA margin increased by 5pp compared to 1Q10. When converted to Euros turnover increased by 18%.

In South Africa, residential building permits still posted a YoY decrease of 3%10 (Jan – April). The World Cup, which was held in this country, has lead to some business uncertainty, which apparently resulted in a weaker order intake during 2Q10. Our volumes sold decreased by 5%,

compared to 1Q10 and prices were under pressure, which led to a turnover decrease of 7% (in local currency), although turnover remained flat when converted to Euros. The same effects also led to a recurrent EBITDA margin decrease of 4pp from 1Q10 to 2Q10. However, comparing 1H10 with 1H09, turnover (in local currency) was 15% higher and recurrent EBITDA margin increased by 8pp, largely due to 26% higher volumes sold.

For the Rest of the World (excluding Brazil), 2Q10 turnover increased by 11% on 1Q10, reaching 65 million Euros and recurrent EBITDA increased by 20% to 11 million Euros. Compared to 1H09, turnover, in 1H10 increased by 31% and recurrent EBITDA more than doubled.

4- Financial Review of 1H2010

Mn

In the chart below, consolidated comparative figures are shown both with and without the impact of Brazilian operations, to facilitate like-for-like comparisons.

Consolidated Turnover & Recurrent EBITDA Margin

Consolidated turnover in 2Q10 totalled 339 million Euros, 6% higher than for 1Q10 and recurrent EBITDA was 22 million Euros, more than three times the value for 1Q10.

In 1H10 consolidated turnover totalled 659 million Euros, 7% higher than 1H09 (excluding Brazil), in spite of a reduction of 11% in installed capacity, and recurrent EBITDA increased to 29 million Euros which compares with 6 million Euros for 1H09.

1H10 was impacted by the appreciation of the CAD and ZAR against the Euro, resulting in an estimated positive effect of 21 million Euros on turnover and 3 million Euros on recurrent EBITDA. In 1H10, Total EBITDA was 18 million Euros, which includes charges for restructuring costs in Germany and France and a 7 million Euro gain from the sale of the Lure plant.

Net Interest Charges for 1H10 are 6 million Euros below 1H09, benefiting from both lower interest rates and lower average debt levels.

Additions to Fixed Assets in 1H10 were 8 million Euros, mostly related to investments in essential maintenance, Health & Safety and Environmental improvements.

During 2Q10, Working Capital improved by 4 million Euros, and Net Debt decreased by 79 million Euros, mainly due to the 68 million Euros cash received from the sale of the Lure plant.

5- Looking Forward

We expect 3Q10 volumes to be negatively impacted by the normal seasonal effect due to summer holidays.

We will continue to fight for a recovery in our contribution margin, which is still at a low level.

We will continue to optimize our operations to further improve our efficiency and productivity.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The present set of consolidated financial statement has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies that were disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of year 2009.

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 therefore should be read in connection with the financial statements of year 2009.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the financial statements of year 2009 the Group began recognizing CO2 emission rights as described in note 2.23 thereof. Interim financial statements of 2009 did not include this recognition criterion which caused the Group to restate the comparative information to the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2010.

4. CHANGES IN ESTIMATES

In second half 2010 the Group carried out a revision of estimated useful lives of depreciable items recognized under Land and Buildings and Plant and Machinery, which resulted in the following changes:

Period
of
useful
life
(years)
Former
Buildings 50 20 ‐ 40
Plant
and
machinery
2 ‐ 15 2 ‐ 25

The aforementioned changes were carried out aiming to better adjust the depreciation period of tangible assets to their wear and tear, based on historical information gathered.

Changes in estimated useful lives affected the comparability of consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2010. Amortization and Depreciation, which are stated on the Consolidated Income Statement for 51 529 670 eur, would be increased by 5 194 164 eur if the aforesaid change would have not been made.

5. COMPANIES INCLUDED IN CONSOLIDATION PERIMETER

During the period the following changes occurred in the consolidation perimeter of Sonae Indústria, SGPS, SA:

  • Disposal of Société Industrielle et Financière Isoroy SIFI (company owning Lure factory);
  • Dissolution of Sonae Tafibra (Uk), Ltd (dormant company with no assets).
