Revenues

Consolidated Revenues increased 10.6% in 1Q22 to 373.4 million euros, combining growth in Telco revenues of 9.0% to 365.8 million euros and of 71.1% in A&C revenues to 16.6 million euros. The quarterly growth in Telco revenues reflects continued strength in underlying operating performance with net RGU growth of 87.8 thousand to 10.393 million, up by 5% yoy. The main driver of RGU growth is mobile services, with 73.6 thousand net adds in 1Q22, taking the total mobile subscriber base to 5.423 million subscribers (62% post-paid contract customers). Customers continue to show clear preference for convergent bundles with 1.036 million subscribers, representing more than 65% of the fixed customer base and leading to continued take up of additional mobile cards within a single residential bill. Overall, revenues from the B2C segment increased by 2.0% yoy to 248.9 million euros. In the B2B segment, we continued to grow the underlying base of managed service solutions in the quarter and reinforce our positioning as the preferential partner for digital transformation of Portuguese companies, leveraging the potential of 5G to accelerate that transformation. In addition to strong underlying growth in core customer revenues, we recorded one-off low margin sales in the corporate segment and, due to the generalized easing in travel restrictions, revenues from roaming traffic almost doubled yoy in 1Q22, explaining the growth recorded in wholesale and other telco revenues.

Cinema and Audiovisual revenues were 71.1% higher yoy, reaching 16.6 million euros in 1Q22. The decline in comparison with the previous quarteris explained by the government imposition of strict social distancing measures at the start of the year driving spectators away from movie theatres and leading to some delays in blockbuster launches. However, box office sales started to recover as the quarter progressed, accompanying the progressive relaxation of restrictions, and consolidating yoy improvement.

OPEX, EBITDA and Net Results

Consolidated EBITDA increased 4.8% to 159.4 million euros, representing a 42.7% margin as a proportion of Revenues. Growth in Telco EBITDA amounted to 4.3%, to 149.6 million euros, accompanying strong underlying revenue performance and operational efficiencies. The growth in Telco OPEX is explained primarily by the mirror effect on cost of goods sold of one-off low margin sales in the corporate segment. Other OPEX recorded a combination of opposite variations yoy, amongst which a yoy increase in marketing and publicity costs, due to a greater volume of marketing campaigns aired over the past months and some improvement in premium programming costs. Variations in remaining items were relatively small, reflecting a degree of cost management that has already incorporated the more immediate opportunities for operating efficiencies. Additional optimization is still being sought, albeit through transformational processes that will take some time to be reflected in OPEX savings or avoidance. Audiovisuals and Cinema EBITDA grew by 13.1% to 9.8 million euros, benefitting from strength in revenues and cost management initiatives. Overall, costs are increasing in this division due to the recovery in operational activity and resurgence of contractual obligations that had been negotiated down during the most challenging phases of the pandemic.

Consolidated Net Income increased by 34.6% to 41.1 million euros driven primarily by a combination of both positive and negative variations, namely increased EBITDA, higher depreciations due primarily to the increased investment in network and in 5G spectrum, a lower level of other expenses/income when compared with 1Q21 due to a favourable court ruling. The decline yoy in income tax provision is explained primarily by higher tax incentives recorded in 1Q22.

CAPEX

As planned, NOS´ accelerated 5G rollout programme and continued FttH expansion are visible in technical CAPEX which grew by 82.3% yoy to 89.4 million euros. Of this amount, 50.4 million euros is related to network expansion, substitution, and integration projects, compared with 10.4 million euros in 1Q21. Baseline Telco CAPEX was similar to the level of 1Q21 and Customer related CAPEX was 18.1% lower, reflecting continued efficiencies and more effective commercial activity and optimization of CPE investments and installation costs.

NOS' total fixed Gigabit network coverage already reached 5.165 million households in Portugal, of which 54%, with FttH. During 1Q22, NOS increased its FttH network by an additional 41 thousand households to 2.774 million households, investing at a pace similar to that of previous quarters. As

regards mobile NOS continued to accelerate its 5G deployment schedule. NOS' overall approach to network deployment aims to be as fast and economically and environmentally rational as possible. As such, NOS has several strategic fixed and mobile network sharing agreements in place, as well as agreements to use third party networks where they present a more viable opportunity. NOS has also monetized a significant proportion of its mobile tower portfolio through a global agreement originally announced in 2020. In addition to the approximately 2 thousand towers (sites and rooftops) first transferred to Cellnex through the equity sale of NOS Towering, generating initial proceeds of 375 million euros, on 21 April 2022, NOS announced a transaction within the scope of this agreement, to sell an additional 350 towers for which 155 million euros will be received this year.

CAPEX in the Audiovisuals and Cinema division started to pick up with increased operating activity in the quarter. Although higher yoy at 5.8 million euros, quarterly investment in this division is still below pre-pandemic levels, as are revenues.

(3) Net Financial Gearing = Net Debt

At the end of 1Q22, Total Net Debt, including Leasings and Long-Term Contracts (according to IFRS16) amounted to 1,559.3 million euros. Net Financial Debt stood at 1,030.5 million euros with a cash and short-term investment position on the balance sheet of 15.5 million euros. At the end of 1Q22, NOS also had 277.5 million euros in unissued commercial paper programmes.

Net Financial Debt / EBITDA After Lease Payments (last 4 quarters) stood at 1.96x, slightly below NOS' target leverage ratio in the range of 2x Net Financial Debt / EBITDA after lease payments, which represents a solid and conservative capital structure that NOS is committed to maintain. The all-in average cost of debt stood at 1.2 % for 1Q22, which compares with 1.6% in 1Q21.

At the end of March, NOS secured 300 million euros in sustainable financing lines, in bank loans structured as bond issues and commercial paper programmes, with maturity in 2027, with three financial institutions – Banco BPI, Caixa Geral de Depósitos e Millennium bcp. These bank loans are supported by the recently developed Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework and are linked to the Sustainability Performance Target of the Group's Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission (Scope 1 and 2), establishing a reduction of at least 80% by 2025, compared to 2019. This target is aligned with NOS' validated Science Based Targets which aim to keep global warming limited to 1.5°C and in line with climatic science and best practices of the sector.

The Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework was defined with the purpose of aligning financing strategy with NOS' corporate strategy, allowing financing in a sustainability-linked format. S&P Global issued the Second Party Opinion and confirmed alignment with Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles and Sustainability-Linked Loan Principles and ranks most of the categories of the Framework as "Advanced" (the best possible rating). With these transactions, NOS is strengthening the link between its financing cost and sustainability performance, demonstrating its strategic relevance and commitment at every organizational level, and to achieve best-in-class performance in ESG indicators. These facilities contribute positively towards NOS' average cost of debt, which is at highly attractive levels compared to its national and European peers, and towards diversifying instruments and extending maturities. After these transactions NOS holds more than 40% of its contractual debt linked to sustainability indicators and targets.

At the end of 1Q22, the average maturity of NOS debt was 2.9 years. Taking into account loans issued at a fixed rate and interest rate hedging operations in place, as at 31 March 2022, the proportion of NOS' issued debt paying interest at a fixed rate was approximately 100%.

Shareholder Remuneration

On 21 April 2022, NOS' held its Annual General Meeting. All points on the agenda were approved and as a result, NOS' shareholders approved a dividend payment of 27.8c per share, in line with last year and representing a dividend yield of approximately 6.9%. Upon payment NOS will still have a very conservative capital structure, remaining close to its target net debt ratio of 2x NFD / EBITDA AL, albeit temporarily higher due to the one-off 5G license payment in 4Q21. With strong underlying cash flow generation and the additional tranche of cash proceeds to be received in 2022 from Cellnex of 155 million euros, NOS remains solidly positioned to meet future investments and committed to distribute an attractive level of dividends whilst maintaining a strategic focus on preserving a strong capital structure to support continued delivery of sustainable value creation for shareholders.
