1. Operational and Financial Performance

The COVID-19 pandemic affected consumers and companies and, although the Company has maintained its activity and has joined the "stay at home" movementfrom the various geographies where it operates by putting in motion several initiatives aimed at facilitating access of the Portuguese and Spanish populations to the services provided, the business in general was negatively influenced. The Mail business unit was very affected in the second half of March. The E&P business unit was also impacted, mainly in Spain, and several initiatives were launched in Portugal to help companies market their products. These initiatives, and the strong effort to capture volumes associated with e-commerce, were very successful and reversed the downward trend in B2B volumes in April. The Financial Services & Retail business area suffered the greatest impact, with a significantreduction in Public Debt Certificates subscriptions, as a result of the dependence on the retail channel, which suffered a decrease in demand as a result of restrictions on the movement of people and the opening hours of CTT post offices following the declaration of the state of emergency, although some progress was observed at the end of April. The impacts on the Banco CTT business area were not so significant in March and allowed the bank to present, for the first time in its history, a positive Net profit in the quarter.

Mail

At the end of 1Q20, Mail revenues reached €109.5m, -€9.9m (-8.3%) vis -à-vis 1Q19.

This decline resulted mostly from the combined effect of the fall in the revenues of transactional mail by €8.1m (-7.9%), advertising mailby €0.5m (-9.1%) andbusiness solutions by €0.3m (-10.6%).

In the first two months of 2020, the Mail revenues decline was just €1.5m (-1.9%) compared to the same period of the previous year, totaling € 77.4m. It was a consequence of the combined effect of a slight decrease in the revenues of transactional mail (-€1.6m;-2.4%), editorial mail (-€0.3m;-12.3%) and business solutions (-€0.4m; -17.6%), mitigated by the €0.5m (+16.0%) growth of advertising mail.

The revenues decline in the month of March amounted to €8.4m (-20.8%), as this crisishas had arelevant impact on virtually all transactional mail business lines, as for example, decline of ordinary mail by €2.0m (-13.9%), registered mail by €1.8m (-17.6%) and international mail by €2.3m (-29.9%), as well as a fall in advertising mail which posted a decrease of €1.0m (-44.7%).

During the first two months of 2020, the evolution of addressed mail volumes was within the Company guidance range [-6% to -8%] as it stood at -7.1%. However, the impact of the month of March 2020 on that metric was -20.9%, leading the 1Q20 evolution to -11.8%.

Mail volumes

Until February, the evolution of transactional mail (-8.1%) continued to be negatively affected by the volumes decline of domestic ordinary mail which dropped by -8.2% (-9.5% in 2019), mainly in the banking and insurance, telecommunications and Government segments, as well as by the decines in priority mail (-39.8%) and registered mail (-3.7%). Green mail volumes grew (+84.7%), mainly due to product substitution, as the priority mail and registered mail prepaid products business line were discontinued.

In March, the transactional mail volumes evolution (-18.5%) was mostly the result of the lower demand for domestic ordinary mail (-1 4.5%), especially in the banking and insurance, telecommunications and Government sectors with declines above 20%, registered mail (-17.5%) as well as international mail, severely impacted by the restrictions on operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Outbound international mail posted a decline of 33.9% while inbound international mail, with a decrease of 44.5% in volumes, was most affected following the epidemic that started in China and gradually spread to other countries. Green mail volumes continued to grow (+57.1%).

The advertising mail business segment was negatively impacted in March, as the customers to postpone campaigns. This decline cancelled the good start to the year that had been observed until that point.

In the two months of 2020, addressed advertising mail volumes recorded an 8.3% growth, influenced by a campaign of a large client. In the month of March, the decline was 43.5%.

Also, regarding unaddressed advertising mail volumes, in the two months they continued to accelerate as they had since the 2™ quarter of 2019 and reached a 44.7% growth rate, mostly due to the capture of new customers. In parallel, several campaigns in the Government sectors were undertaken. Despite the sharp decline of March (-45.5%), this business line reached the end of 1 Q20 with an 8.6% growth.

In 1Q20, business solutions recorded revenues of €2.5m, -10.6% versus 1Q19. The dematerialization service reached a 25.8% growth provoked by the capture of new customers and the launch of the new business solution products & services portfolio (in the month of March they were already above 50k euros) which will be expanded throughout the next quarters as new solutions are put on the market. Despite this growth, there was a negative evolution in geographic solutions (-€0.2m), printing & finishing services (-€0.1m) and BPO - Business Process Outsourcing services (-€0.1m).

In 1Q20, the Philately revenues amounted to €1.3m, corresponding to a reduction of 7.2% versus 1Q19 (-€0.1m). The 3.6% growth in the international market should be noted, with online sales performing well when compared to the traditional external channels.

The average change in prices of the Universal Service in 1Q20 was 0.57% vs. the same period of the previous year.

Express & Parcels

The Express & Parcels revenues totaled €37.3m in 1020, +€0.6m (+1.6%) compared to the same period of 2019. In the first two months of 2020 they reached € 25.5m + € 0.8m (+3.0%) versus the same period of 2019. In March 2020, they amounted to €11.8m (-€0.2m;-1.4%) compared to the same period of the previous year.

In Portugal, revenues stood at €24.4m in 1Q20, +6.5% vs. the same period of 2019. In the first two months of 2020, they amounted to €16.4m, +6.8% vs. the same period of the previous year. In March 2020, they totaled €8.1m, +6.1% compared to the same period of 2019.

The business performance in Portugal in 1Q20 was mainly the result of the CEP (Courier, Express & Parcels) business that amounted to €18.9m (+10.4%) and the banking deliveries business that totaled €1.8m (+1.3%). The cargo business revenues stood at €2.8m (-11.5%) and those of the logistics business amounted to €0.7m (-5.2%).

The growth of the CEP revenues in Portugal was due to the capture of new customers in the 2019, with high levels of activity in the B2B segment and in e-commerce.

5 Including letter mail, editorial mail and parcels of the Universal Postal Service, excluding international inbound mail.

Volumes in Portugal in 1Q20 totaled 5.6 million items, +14.7% compared to the same period of 2019, the increase originated mostly in the abovementioned CEP customers.

The end of 1Q20 was marked by the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic which impacted the business due to the restrictive measures imposed to most of the sectors of the economy – closure of shops, services and industry, and contraction of consumption in some sectors due to the confinement. The beginning of the 200 arter showed a strong recovery in activity levels, albeit with diverse features as a significant increase in e-commerce.

CTT launched several initiatives, trying to leverage on solutions that could help bolster the recovery of the lost activity and create new growth opportunities, such as:

  • · the Lojas Online (Online Shops) service, an offer that allows SMEs to create online shops and facilitates the sale of their products. Atthe end of March, 519 online shops wereregistered, and the process of their creation had started, while 67 were active. Several protocols were signed with municipalities and business associations to accelerate the onboarding of more SMEs. There are currently 215 active shops, while circa 700 additional ones are being developed, covering various sectors of activity, with emphasis on food products, clothing and footwear.
  • · the service of home delivery of medical supplies in partnership with the National Association of Pharmacies, which allows the users to order medicines by e-mail or telephone directly to the participating pharmacies, while CTT ensures the next-day delivery. The number of deliveries has been increasing, currently being around 400 deliveries / day.
  • the expansion of the Expresso para Hoje (Express for Today) online service for urgent delivery of parcels, goods or documents within 2 hours. CTT launched a partnership with Uber as the service already existing in Lisbon, Porto and Braga was extended to various other cities – Aveiro, Coimbra, Évora, Funchal and cities in the Algarve.
  • · the offer of the first 3 months of warehousing for free of the existing CTT Logistica online service for logistic management of SMEs.

The Dottmarketplace, launched in May 2019 through a partnership between CTT and Sonae, already had, at the end of March 2020, 763 vendors present on the platform (an increase of 100 vs. the end of 2019) and more than 2.2 million products were available. At the end of February 2020, a total of 65k users were registered (+32% vs. the end of 2019) and at the end of March 2020 there were approximately 84k users registered (+69%), indicating strong growth and changes in consumption patterns favorable to the parcels business.

Revenues in Spain stood at €12.1m in 1Q20, -9.0% compared to the same period of 2019. Volumes totaled 4.1 million items, +0.3% vis-à-vis the same period of 2019. There was an increase in B2C volumes, items with lower weight and consequently lower price per item, and a decline in B2B volumes due to COVID-19.

lt should be noted that in the first two months of 2020, revenues amounted to€8.6m, -€0.5m (-5.2%) year-onyear, mostly due to the volumes decline of 5.6%, greatly influenced by the loss of a major client in April 2019. Excluding the impact of the lost volumes of that client, the revenues and volumes would have been +0.5% and +1.2%, respectively.

Themonth of March 2020 was strongly impacted by COVID-19, posting a-17.2% declinein revenues despite the 14.4% increase in volumes. This temporary commercial performance trendhas been reversed in April 2020 by a significant volumes growth as a result of business initiatives and changes in consumption patterns that have strongly stimulated the evolution of e-commerce purchases.

The rebranding to CTT Express, launched on 21 February 2020 promotes a greater Iberian alignment and a commitment to the urgent parcels market in this geography, which should allow the expansion of the business and a future presence with greater guarantees and stability for the regional partners of the franchisee network.

Revenues in Mozambique stood at €0.8m in 1Q20, +57.2% compared to the same period of the previous year. The CEP and the banking businesses positively contributed to this growth, underpinned by the capture of new businesses in the health area (collection of biological samples) in the 2019, and also in the continued growth of the banking sector.

Banco CTT

Banco CTT revenues more than doubled, reaching €19.5m in 1Q20, a year-on-year growth of €10.5m (+116.4%), of which £8.0m originated in 321 Crédito, acquired in May 2019. Excluding this inorqanic effect, the revenues would amount to €11.5m, still +€2.5m (+27.8%) vis-à-vis 1Q19.

The year-on-year revenues growth resulted from the positive performance of net interest income growth (+€1.6m; +63.5%) in the first three months of the year compared to the same period of 2019.

The commissions received from the banking activity grew by +€1.2m (+76.4%), boosted by customer transactionality (+35.6%, especially driven by debit cards and ATMs), consumer credit (+80.3%) and PPR -Retirement Savings Plan (+417.8%) with a growth in the placement of the PPR product of +€277.3m vs. 1Q19. The operating performance of Banco CTT until the end of 1 Q 20 led to growth:

  • i) in the credit to clients: the net mortgage loan portfolio stood at €442.4m (+58.5% vs. 1Q19 and +9.2% vs. December 2019); the specialized creditbusiness line amounted to €503.4m (+5.0% vs. December 2019); and the off-Balance sheet amount of consumer loans via the partnership with BNP Paribas Personal Finance (Cetelem), totaled €114.9m (+21.0% vs. 1Q19 and +2.6% vs. December 2019);
  • ii) in customer deposits to €1,382.8m (+50.0% vs. 1Q19 and +7.7% vs. year-end 2019) and in the number of accounts opened to 481k accounts (+101k vs. 1Q19 and +20k vs. year-end 2019). The placement of the PPR product (off-Balance sheet) totaled €380.1m (+269.7% vs. 1Q19 and +6.6% vs. December 2019).

The payments business line recorded a decrease of €0.3m (-6.2%) in commissions received in 1Q20 compared to the same period of the previous year, with total revenues of €4.6m. In 1Q20, the roll-out of the MBSPOT service to all agents continued.

The month of March shows minor impacts related to the restrictive measures imposed by the state of emergency, which are mostly visible in the demand for financial services, including transactions in the area of payments.

In 1Q20, Banco CTT announced the introduction of a debit card commissioning model in order to encourage its reqular use, to be applied on the anniversary date for customers already holding a card and for new customers after the end of February, given that customers who regularly use their debit card or customers under 25 years of age are exempt from commission. The collection of annuities began in April.

Financial Services & Retail

The Financial Services & Retail revenues amounted to €13.0m relative to Financial Services and €2.7m to Retail), with a growth of +€2.4m (+23.0%) compared to the same period of the previous year, as a result of the increase in subscriptions of Public Debt Certificates - Treasury Certificates Savings Growth in the months of January and February 2020.

In 1 Q20, the public debt certificates revenues totaled €8.4m, an increase of €2.6m (+44.3%) vs. 1 Q19.

In the first two months of the public debt certificates (Savings Certificates and Treasury Certificates Savings Growth) reached revenues of €6.6m (+66.4%) and subscriptions increased to €1,176m, +89.7% compared to the placements recorded in the same period of 2019.

The increase in subscriptions in the first two months of 2020 was due to the good performance in the recapture of the amounts of Public Debt Certificates (PDC) expired in January 2020 (circa €1,500m expired in PDC). However, this increase in subscriptions did not have an equal impact on the revenues, due to the reduction in the remuneration paid by IGCP - the Portuguese Treasury and Debt Management Agency to the Company as of 20 January 2020.

The subscriptions of the second half of the month of March 2020 were strongly influenced by the restrictive measures associated with the state of emergency, particularly the effect it generated on the preference for liquidity, reflecting a decline of -72.4% compared to the first half of the month, as the daily average went to €3.7 m compared to €13.4m in the first half of March 2020 and €14.1m in the month of March 2019, although a recovery in this activity is currently taking place.

Money orders stood at €1.5m, +€0.1m vs. 1Q19 (+8.1%), as the money order issuance service was used to pay unemployment and other social assistance benefits, from year-end 2019 onwards.

Conversely, CTT's payment services had a negative performance (mostly tax payments) that amounted to € 0.1m, -€ 0.02m (-11.3%) vs. 1Q19, mainly due to the structural effect of the changes in the means of payment for this type of service.

The retail products and services, with a -1.9% (-E0.1m) performance vs. 1Q19, also reversed in March the growth trend of the firsttwo months of 2020, when they posted a + 5.2% growth compared to the same period of 2019.

It was in third-party retail products and services, essentially in lottery, books, merchandising and ticket office sales, that the reduction in March was most felt, with an evolution of -€ 0.2m (-21.8%) compared to the month of March 2019, influenced by the restrictions associated with the state of emergency, which limited access to CTT's Retail Network, as the opening hours of the post offices changed, suspended the launch of new products by the suppliers while supplies had to be adjusted, and involved the cancellation and postponement of shows.

Operating Costs

Operating costs amounted to €159.7m, an increase of €3.8m (+2.4%) vs.1Q19, with an impact of +€3.0m from 321 Crédito. Excluding 321 Crédito, operating costs totaled €156.7m (+0.5%).

Staff costs increased € 2.3m (+ 2.7%) in 1Q20. Excluding the effect of 321 Crédito, those costs would have grown €1.0m (+1.1%). This performance was mainly due to the reversal in the liability related to retired employees made in 1Q19, associated with a reduction of the mobile phones consumption average tariffs, which had at the time a positive one-time impact of +€0.9m.

External supplies & services costs increased by €1.5m (+2.4%), of which €1.1m resulted from the integration of 321 Crédito. Excluding the inorganic effect, the growth is only €0.4m (+0.6%) which includes mainly; (i) the increased direct costs (+€1.0m), mostly in the E&P business unit (last mile); (ii) the increase in costs related to temporary work (+€0.4m); and (iii) the reduction in general and administrative costs (-€1.4m),

Other operating costs were stable when compared to 1019. Excluding the inorganic effect of 321 Crédito (+€0.5m), these costs would have decreased by €0.5m (-7.7%) mostly due to: (i) the lower amount of indemnities paid for mail loss (-€ 0.3m); and (ii) the reduction of marketing and advertising costs (-€ 0.3m).

Staff

As at 31 March 2020, the CTT headcount (permanent and fixed-term staff) consisted of 12,010 employees, 65 less (-0.5%) than as at 31 March 2019. It is important to mention that as from 2020, the methodology to count permanent staff changed and permanent staff, which has an impact of -48 workers in the period under analysis, is no longer considered. Excluding this effect, the increase in permanent staff would have been 39. The integration of 321 Crédito had a specialimpact on the evolution of the number of permanent staff (+104),

There was a decrease in the number of staff (permanent and fixed-term staff) in the Mail & other (-167) and the Express & Parcels (-37) business units which more than offset the increase in Banco CTT (+138, of whom 125 resulting from the integration of 321 Crédito) and in the Financial Services & Retail (+1) business units.

Together, the areas of operations and distribution within the basic network (5,980 employees, of whom 4,378 delivery postmen and women) and the retail network (2,480 employees) represent circa 78% of CTT's permanent staff.

lt should be noted that these figures already include 4 exits in 2020, on top of 531 other exits, split into 161 in 2017, 268 in 2018 and 102 in 2019 which occurred in the context of the Human Resources Optimization Program within the Operational Transformation Planunderway.

? In 2020 and in the same period of the previous year (products and services of the Mail & other business unit are considered within the Financial Services & Retail business unit (former Financial Services unit). This migration had animpact of workers between these businessunits.

EBITDA

In 1Q20 the Company generated an EBITDA® of €20.2m, -€0.8m (-3.7%) compared to 1Q19, with an EBITDA margin of 11.3% (11.9% in 1Q19). This performance was strongly influenced by the impacts occurred in March 2020, resulting from the restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, given that EBITDA was growing in the first two months of 2020 (+€5.9m; +49.7%).

Specific Items

In 1 Q20 the Company recorded specific items for a net amount of € 0.01m, broken down as shown below:

Corporate restructuring costs and strategic projects 5.5 0.4 -5.1 -93.3%
Other non-recurring revenues and costs 0.1 -0.4 -0.4 -672.0%

Specific Items

The decline of -€5.5m in Specific items is mostly related to corporate restructuring and strategic projects (-€5.1m), with special emphasis on of compensations paid for termination of employment contracts by mutual agreement (-€ 4.0m compared to 1019) within the Human Resources Optimization Program under the ongoing Operational Transformation Plan. The change in other non-recurringrevenues and costs (-E O.4m) is underpinned by the gain from the sale of a real estate property in 1Q20 (+£0.6m).

EBIT and Net Profit

EBIT stood at € 9.3m in 1Q20, + € 0.6m (+6.7%) vs. 1Q19, with a margin of 5.2% (4.9% in 1Q19).

Financial costs and losses incurred amounted to €2.5m, mainly incorporating financial to post-employment and long-term employee benefits of €1.1m, interest associated to finance leases liabilities linked to the implementation of IFRS 16 for an amount of €0.8m, and interest rates for an amount of €0.4m.

In 1Q20, CTT obtained a consolidated net profit attributable to the equity holders of €3.7m, in line (-0.4%) with that obtained in 1Q19 and positively impacted by the evolution of EBIT (+E0.6m) and the corporate income tax for the period (-€0.4m), which almost offset the evolution of the financial results (-€1.0m).

Investment

Capex stood at €5.6m, -12.0% (-€0.8m) compared to 1Q19, reflecting the continued implementation of the Modernization & Investment Plan (+€3.3m).

lt is important to note the increase in in expanding business units, e.g. Express & Parcels (+€0.6m) and Banco CTT (+€0.5m), in order to improve the activity support systems.

To be noted is also the update of the sorting machines in the Barcelona platform (+€0.6m) and the investment in protective gear (+€0.2m) installed in CTT post offices to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cash flow

In 1Q20, CTT generated an operating cash flow of €11.8m, an improvement of +€4.1m vs.1Q19.

Cash flow

*Specific items affecting EBITDA.

The negative evolution of the change in working capital vs. 1Q19 (-€1.5m) resulted mainly from the negative evolution of the investment (-€5.2m) following the high levels of investment of the year-end 2019, which was partly compensated by a positive evolution in working capital related to EBITDA net of specific items (+€3.7m),

The change in working capital in 1Q20 (-€2.8m) includes the negative impact of the change in items related to Capex (-€ 9.9m) and the positive impact of accounts receivable from general clients (+€ 4.7m) and from Postal Financial Services customers (+€3.2m).

9 The 1Q19 operating cash flow was restated to be comparable with that of 1Q20. In 2019 the methodology to calculate the operating cash flow was changed, in particular with respect to the capital, which no longer includes anon-cyclical value it mobility allowance.

financial liabilities, net of the amounts in securities / banking financial assets, of entities of the CTT Group providing financial services, namely the financial services of CTT, Payshop, Banco CTT and 321 Crédito.

11 The changein other cash items reflects the evolution of Bank of Portugal, outstanding cheques / clearing of Banco CTT cheques, and impairment of sight and term deposits and bank applications.

The key aspects of the comparison between the Balance Sheet as at 31.03.2020 and that as at 31.12.2019 are as follows:

  • · Assets decreased by € 75.0m, mostly due to the decrease in Cash & cash equivalents (-€144.0m) as a result of the decrease of the amounts of third parties in cash, partly offset by the credit to banking clients (+€ 61.3m), particularly mortgage loans.
  • Equity increased by €3.6m following the generation of net income attributable to the equity holders in 1Q20 for an amount of €3.7m.
  • Liabilities decreased by € 78.6m, with emphasis on the decrease of accounts payable (-€ 1.38.3m) as a direct consequence of the substantial reduction of Treasury Certificates subscriptions and he reduction of the amounts provided for the payment of CNP (National Pensions Centre) money orders, which was partly offset by the increase in banking clients' deposits and other loans (+€61.4m).

The key aspects of the comparison between the consolidated net debt as at 31.03.2020 and that as at 31.12.2019 are as follows:

  • · Own cash increased by €8.4m due to the improvement in operating cash flow (€11.8m) impacted by the reduction in payments of compensation for the termination of employment contracts by mutual agreement, partly offset by the payment of employee benefits in the amount of €3.2m.
  • Short-term & long-term debt decreased by €0.9m mainly due to the reduction of the liabilities from financial leases in the scope of IFRS 16 (-€1.1m).

2. Other Highlights

CHANGES TO THE INFORMATION REPORTING STRUCTURE

As from 2020, the retail products revenues previously reported within the Mail & other business unit and the corresponding operating costs were migrated, along with their history, in order to reflect the changes made in the business organization, to the business unit previously named "Financial Services business unit", which has now been renamed "Financial Services & Retail business unit". This migration had an impact on the main business indicators of the two business units in 2019 as follows:

REGULATORY ISSUES

Under the Universal Postal Service Concession Contract, on 13.03.2020, CTT invoked force majeure before the Regulator, following the public health emergency of international scope, declared by the World Health Organization on 30.01.2020 and the subsequent classification of COVID-19 as a pandemic, on 11 March. In view of the seriousness and magnitude of the facts, which are public and notorious, and in order to comply with the public health instructions issued by the competent authorities, CTT could not fail to take the necessary and appropriate measures to protect workers and customers.

Pursuant to the provisions of the concession contract, CTT continues to ensure the functioning and continuity of postal services, taking the necessary and appropriate measures to the situation of force majeure, in terms of planning, operation prevention and human resources, submitting a daily update of the situation to the Government, as a counterparty, and to ANACOM, the regulatory authority responsible for overseeing the provision of the universal postal service.

DIVIDENDS / BONUS

In light of the economic uncertainty and the still unclear severity of the COVID-19 crisis, and despite the currently solid Balance Sheet of CTT, the Board of Directors deemed relevant, for the Company and all its stakeholders, to reverse its intention of proposing to the Shareholders General Meeting the distribution of €0.11 per share, previously disclosed to the market.

The Board of Directors proposed, and the Annual General Meeting approved, that the Net Profit of 2019 is allocated to Retained Earnings and, additionally, that no annual profit sharing is distributed to CTT's employees and executive members of the Board of Directors.

OUTLOOK FOR THE 2020 FINANCIAL YEAR

April 2020 showed encouraging signs of stabilization in some areas, although mail and financial services remain under significant pressure. The full impacts of Covid-19 on FY20 revenues & earnings guidance currently cannot be accurately and reliably quantified. CTT will provide an update on quidance as soon as it is possible to do so.

Introduction 1.

CTT – Correios de Portugal, S.A. – Sociedade Aberta ("CTT" or" Company"), with head office at Avenida D. João II, no. 13, 1999– 001 in Lisbon, had its origin in the "Administração Geral dos Correios Telefones" qovernment department and its legal form is the result of successive re-organizations carried out by the Portuguese state business sector in the communications area.

Decree-Law no. 49.368, of 10 November 1969 founded the state-owned company CTT - Correios e Telecomunicações de Portugal, E. P., which started operating on 1 January 1970. By Decree-Law no. 87/92, of 14 May, CTT – Correios e Telecomunicações de Portugal, E. P., was transformed by private law, with the status of a stateowned public limited company. Finally, with the foundation of the former Telecom Portugal, S.A. by spin-off from Correios e Telecomunicações de Portugal, S.A. under Decree-Law no. 277/92, of 15 December, the Company's name was changed to the current CTT - Correios de Portugal, S.A..

On 31 January 2013 the Portuguese State through the Order 2468/12 – SETF, of 28 December, determined the transfer of the investment owned by the Portuguese State in CTT to Parpública – Participações Públicas, SGPS, S.A..

At the General Meeting held on 30 October 2013, the registered capital of CTT was reduced to 75,000,000 Euros, being from that date onward represented by 150,000,000 shares, as a result of a stock split which was accomplished through the reduction of the nominal value from 4.99 Euros to 0.50 Euros.

During the financial year ended 31 December 2013, CTT's capital was opened to the private sector. Supported by Decree-Lawno. 129/2013, of 6 September and the Resolution of the Council of Ministers ("RCM") no. 62-A/2013, of 10 October, the RCM no. 62-B/2013, of 10 October andRCM no. 72-B/2013, of 14 November, the first phase of privatisation of the capital of CTT took place on 5 December 2013. From this date, 63.64% of the shares of CTT (95.5 million shares) were owned by the private sector, of which 1 % (21 million shares) were sold in a Public Offering and 49.64% (74.5 million shares) by Institutional Direct Selling. On 31 December 2013 the Portuguese State, through Parpública - Participações Públicas, SGPS, S.A. held 36.36% of the shares of CTT, 30.00% by holding and 6.36% by allocation.

On 5 September 2014, the second phase of the privatisation of CTT took place. The shares held by Parpública – Participações Públicas, SGPS, S.A., which on that date represented 31.503% of CTT's capital, were subject to a private offering of Shares ("Equity Offering") via an accelerated book building process. The Equity Offering was addressed exclusively to institutional investors

The shares of CTT are listed on Euronext Lisbon.

The financial statements attached herewith are expressed in Euros, as this is the functional currency of the Group.

These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 6 May 2020.

2. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted, including financial risk management policies, are consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

2.1 Basis of presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IAS / IFRS") as adopted by the European Union as at 1 January 2020, and in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

u Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group discloses the segment financial reporting.

The Board of Directors regularly reviews segmental reports, using them to assess and communicate each segment performance, as well as to decide on how to allocate resources.

The Retail Products previously reported in the Mail segment and the respective operating costs, in order to reflect the changes made in the business organization, were migrated, along with their respective history, to the segment previously designated" Financial Services "and which now was renamed "Financial Services & Retail.

The period of 2019 was restated, for comparison purposes, according to the changes performed.

Therefore, the business of CTT is organised in the following segments:

  • · Mail CTT Contacto S.A. and CTT, S.A. excluding:
    • The business of payments related collection of invoices and fines, Western Union transfers, integrated solutions and tolls - Bank.
  • · Express & Parcels includes CTT Expresso and CORRE;
  • Financial Services & Retail Postal Financial Services and the sale of products and services in the retail network of CTT, S.A;
  • · Bank Banco CTT, S.A., Payshop, 321 Crédito and CTT's payments bussiness (mentioned above).

The amounts reported in each business segment result from the agregation of the subsidiaries units defined in each segment perimeter and the elimination of transactions between companies of the same segment.

The statement of financial position of each subsidiary and business unit is determined based on the amounts booked directly in the companies that compose the segment, including the elimination of balances between companies of the same segment, and excluding the allocation in the segments of the adjustments between segments.

The income statement for each business segment is based on the amounts booked directly in the companies' financial statements and related business units, adjusted by the elimination of transactions between companies of the same segment.

However, as CTT, S.A. has assets in more than one segment it was necessary to split its income and costs by the various operating segments. The Internal Services Rendered refer to services provided across the different CTT, S.A. business areas, and the income is calculated according to standard activities valued through internally set transfer prices.

Initially, CTT, S.A. operating costs are allocated to the different segments by charging the internal transactions for the services mentioned above. After this initial allocation, costs relating to corport areas (CTT Central Structure) previously unallocated, are allocated by nature to the Mail segment and others.

The consolidated income statement by nature and segment of the 1st quarter of 2019 and 2020 are as follows:

The financial statements are subject to seasonality, however this does not affect comparability between identical periods in a given year. There are nonetheless atypical / non-recurring factors that may affect comparability between equal periods of the several years such as the number of working days of the period (mobile holidays or weekend holidays), special events (elections, promotional campaigns for clients) which may impact the revenue to increase from one period to another.

Litigations

The provisions for litigations were set up to face the liabilities resulting from lawsuits brought against the Group and are estimated based on information from their lawyers as well as on the mentioned lawsuits. The final amount and the timing of the outflows regarding the provision for litigations depend on the respective proceedings.

The reversal of the provision for litigations, in the amount of 1,652,175 Euros as at 31 December 2019 and 368,282 Euros as at 31 March 2020, essentially results from lawsuits whose decision, which was made known in the course of 2019 or 2020, respectively, proved to be favourable to the Group, or, not being favourable, resulted in the condemnation to pay amounts that proved to be lower than the estimated amounts (and reflected in this provision item).

Restructuring

On 19 December 2017, CTT approved an Operational Transformation Plan, which emphasises the purposes of optimising the retail network and reinforcing the HR optimisation programme. Following the maintenance, in 2018 and 2019, on the HR optimisation programme, the provision created for this purpose amounted to 40,794 Euros as at 31 March 2020, in the Group and has been recorded against the caption Staff costs in the income statement. It is expected that this provision will be substantially used in 2020.

The utilisations recorded in the same period regard mainly the payment of indemnities foreseen when the provision was booked as well as the costs incurred with the closing of post offices.

Also, within the scope of the Operation Plan, in the area of optimisation of the delivery network and mail processing operations, the Group, in the period ended 31 December 2018, created a provision for restructuring in the amount of 1,397,647 Euros which was recognised under "Provisions (increases) / reversals" in the income statement by nature.

The amount of the provision corresponds to the Group's best estimate for the outflow, and it is not possible to estimate the expected moment for the outflow as it depends on the moment when proceedings are initiated by the Group's employees.

As at 31 March 2020, a provision is recognised in CTT Expresso branch in Spain to face the notification issued by the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition, which has now been the Spanish Audiencia Nacional (National High Court).

The amount provisioned in 321 Crédito, S.A. amounting to 2,075,510 Euros as at 31 March 2020 (1,499,282 Euros at the acquisition date) is essentially the result of the risk assessment associated with tax contingencies.

Following the risk assessment carried out by its legal advisors, the Group provided bank guarantees under the opposition presented in the arbitral tribunal, considering these proceedings as contingent liabilities.

CTT Expresso branch in Spain provided a bank guaranty to the Sixth Section of the National Audience Administrative Litigation and to the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia") in the amount of 3,148,845 Euros, while the appeal presented by CTT Expresso branch in Spain in the National Audience in Spain proceeds.

This heading records mainly the amounts collected related to taxes, insurance, savings certificates and other money orders, whose settlement date should occur in the month following the end of the decrease seen is mainly due to the significant reduction observed in the subscription of savings certificates.

27. Other information

Under the Universal Postal Service Concession Contract, on 13.03.2020, CTT invoked force majeure the Regulator, following the public health emergency of international scope, declared by the World Health Organization on 30.01.2020 and the subsequent classification of COVID-19 as a pandemic, on 11 March. In view of the seriousness and magnitude of the facts, which are public and notorious, and in order to comply with the public health instructions issued by the competent authorities, CTT could not fail to take the necessary and appropriate measures to protect workers and customers.

Pursuant to the provisions of the concession contract, CTT continues to ensure the functioning of postal services, taking the necessary and appropriate measures to the situation of force majeure, in terms of planning, operation prevention and human resources, submitting a daily update of the Government, as a counterparty, and to ANACOM, the regulatory authority responsible for overseeing the provision of universal postal service.

The legal proceedings relating to the ANACOM regarding the parameters of quality of service and performance objectives applicable to the provision of the universal postal service, issued in July 2018, are subject to their terms. In the arbitral action brought against the Portuguese State, as grantor, is in the stage of producing evidence. In the administrative proceedings brought against ANACOM, the same decision and the second concerning the December 2018

determination regarding the new measurement procedures to the indicators, there were no relevant developments.

The process related to the proposal of the application of 11 contractual fines, initiated in 2018, within the Universal Postal Service Concession Agreement, based on alleged breaches of obligations resulting from the contract which occurred during 2015, 2016 and 2017, is pending a decision following the additional submission of evidence determined by the grantor.

The administrative proceedings for the alleged violation to have a hard copy of the complaints book in the establishments operating on behalf of CTT and the alleged breach of the obligation to immediately provide at no cost the complaints book to the users who requested it, had no significant developments.

Following ANACOM's decision onthe 2016 cost accounting system results, under which new criteria for the allocation of costs between the postal activity and the banking activity of the Company were identified, and specified that the cost accounting system for the 2016 and 2017 financial years in this regard should be restated, CTT submitted the results regarding those years as well as the results of the 2018 according to the new criteria, as determined. Audits for the three financial years are ongoing.

The precautionary measures filed by several Intermunities or by Municipalities following the process of transformation of Post Offices into Postal Agencies, covering situations where only a single post office exists in a county seat, were all dismissed, or considered that there was no need to adjudicate.

COVID-19 Impact

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 disease as a pandemic. This situation has evolved very rapidly and measures have been taken internationally to severely restrict the rights of free movement and economic freedom, thus seeking to prevent the virus. Several governments, authorities and economic agents are implementing a series of initiatives with a very relevant impact on the populations and on the global and national economic activity, while the State of Emergency was declared in Portugal on 18 Marchlast. The COVID-19 pandemic affected consumers and, although the Group has maintained its activity and has been associated from the outset with the "stay at home" movement in the various geographies where it operates and carried out various initiatives aimed at facilitating access for all to the services provided, business has generally been negatively influenced.

Due to the context of uncertainty, in the Annual General Meeting of 29 April CTT decided to suspend the 2019 dividend and allocate the 2019 net profit to Retained Earnings, as well as suspend the payment of the 2019 variable remuneration. The Group also implemented additional measures to strengthen its financial position and ensure its operational response, while seeking to preserve the value of traditional businesses and invest in new ones, more linked to digital platforms and e-commerce.

Regarding the impacts on the financial statements as at 31 March 2020, the effect on the Group's revenues should be noted. The Mail business unit was particularly affected, with greater relevance in the E&P business unit was also impacted, especially in Spain, with several initiatives launched in Portugal to help companies market their products. The Financial Services & Retail business unit suffered the greatest impact, with a significant reduction in Public Debt Certificates subscriptions. In March, the impacts on Banco CTT business unit were not so significant.

The Group also carried out the following additional reviews in the context of the pandemic:

  • reviewed the expected credit losses ("ECL") to be applied to the amounts receivable and bank deposits as at 31 March 2020, with no relevant changes as at 31 December 2019;
  • reviewed the impact of the moratoria granted by Banco CTT and 321 Credito on the impairment of their loan portfolios, with no relevant impact being recorded as at 31 March 2020;

  • analysed whether there were additional signs of impairment due to COVID-19, which could indicate the existence of impairment of non-current assets, and no additional impairments to be recognized were identified;
  • reviewed the existence of onerous contracts due to the current situation, and no contracts were identified that should be considered as onerous contracts:
  • · recognised incremental costs associated with COVID-19, namely concerning individual protective equipment, of around 0.1 million euros.

As at 31 March 2020, the Group had not received any State aid or subsidy associated with COVID-19.

As CTT has been ensuring the continuity of its operations, the impact of COVID-19 on business growth and profitability cannot be reliably quantified, because it is extremely difficult to ascertain it with a reasonable degree of cent depends on the duration of the pandemic and the severity of its impacts on the international and the domestic economy.

28. Subsequent events

Afterthe end of the year and up to the present date, no relevant or material facts have occurred in the Group's activity that have not been disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
