Equity method contributions increased from €7.9m to €23.5m fuelled by the higher stake in NOS (currently 37.37% versus 26.07% in 1Q23) and its nonrecurrent income related with a favourable court ruling regarding ANACOM activity fees.

Indirect Results, were positive by €3.1m in 1Q24, explained by the positive exchange rate impacts and fair value adjustments on Bright Pixel's portfolio. Conversely, the indirect results in 1Q23 were negatively impacted by exchange rate impacts.

Net income group share stood at €25.5m, above the €5.2m presented in 1Q23, driven by both direct and indirect results evolution.

The net cash position stood at €140.0m at the end of 1Q24, €1.7m above YE23. This performance was driven by (i) the €3.3m cash in from the sale of Reblaze (Bright Pixel's portfolio company) at the end of 2023 and (ii) the negative operating cash-flow, financial activity and taxes amounting to €1.5m.
