EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT

30 JUNE 2019

Since 1 January 2019, Sonae Capital information is subject to the application of IFRS 16, the new financial reporting standard on accounting of leases (using the modified retrospective approach).

In order to allow for a reliable analysis of Sonae Capital year-on-year evolution, we present the Profit and Loss Statement for 2Q18 and 1H18 in a pro-forma (PF) logic. Additionally, the Balance Sheet for December 2018 year-end is presented in accordance to the same logic.

1. CEO'S MESSAGE AND HIGHLIGHTS

"The results we report today give evidence of the maintenance and, in some cases, the strengthening of the growth trend that Sonae Capital has been presenting.

On a consolidated view, the Business Units EBITDA increased 12.8% when compared to 1H18, backed by the majority of all businesses. I also highlight the positive evolution of the Business Units EBIT in the amount of 6.0%, and the Consolidated Net Results, with an improvement of 74.9%.

In Energy, the EBITDA delivered in the second quarter of the year was the highest since the beginning of 2018 and allowed us to reach a margin of 34%, 4.5pp above the same quarter of 2018. In Fitness, following the acquisition of the Urban Fit chain, we are in conditions to affirm ourselves as one of the market leaders. In Hospitality, we were able to increase the turnover and the EBITDA, both in the quarter as in the semester, which will allow facing with optimism the third quarter of the year, the most important of the year. I can't fail to mention the positive performance of the operations in Tróia, which benefited from an increase in the inflow on the Peninsula. In Refrigeration and HVAC, the EBITDA increased by 6.3%, despite the turnover decrease. In Adira, the financial performance remained below last year's, but the efforts we've been putting in the company's restructuring, particularly in the commercial team, are showing some signs of recovery, visible in the amount of orders in 2Q19, the highest of the past ten quarters.

In the Real Estate Assets unit, the sales deeds reached 11.9M€ in the first half of the year, and the total amount of Reserves and PPSAs exceeded 44M€. I believe that we are on the right track to finish another year of strong Real Estate Assets sales. Net financial debt stood at 144.7M€ at the end of June 2019. We maintain an adequate capital structure, notwithstanding the investment, at 22.1M€ and the dividend distribution, in the amount of 18.5M€, which took place in May 2019.

We have an increasingly robust portfolio management model, which relies on the active management of a diverse set of businesses in constant evolution, and we will continue to strive to implement our strategy throughout 2019, creating sustainable economic and social value."

Miguel Gil Mata

(1) Non-recurrent items mainly related to restructuring costs and one-off income

  • The Business Units turnover reached 84.0M€, a decrease of 0.9% when compared to 1H18, due to the performance of Industrial Engineering and Refrigeration & HVAC segments.

    • (iii) an increase of 0.4M€ in Net financial Results;
  • (iv) notwithstanding the higher Amortizations and Depreciations, in the amount of 1.2M€ (0.5M€ referred to IFRS 16 Amortizations and 0.7M€ driven by the investment plan in place, namely in the Energy segment).
  • Driven by the evolution of Net Profit (in continued and discontinued businesses), Consolidated Net Profit improved by 8.6M€ in 1H19 and reached negative 2.9M€.
  • On a quarterly basis, Continued Businesses Net Profit was positive and reached 2.3M€ in 2Q19, 5.1M€ above 2Q18. Net Results were also positive and stood at 2.2M€, 5.0M€ above 2Q18.

  • Capex totaled 22.1M€ in 1H19, mostly driven by the Energy segment, namely on the back of the biomass-fuelled cogeneration project development (with an investment of 11.7M€), as well as the investment made in the Fitness segment, which includes the acquisition of Urban Fit chain (for a net amount of 3.4M€);
  • Net Debt stood at 206.4M€ at the end of June 2019. Net Financial Debt reached 144.7M€ in the same period, registering an increase of 24.9M€ when compared to the end of 2018, a typical seasonality effect on the first half of the year, nonetheless below the increase registered one year ago (in the amount of 35M€). Net Debt was also impacted by dividend distribution, in the amount of 18.5M€, on May 2019;
  • We maintain an adequate capital structure when considering the Group's portfolio of businesses and Real Estate Assets held: with Net Financial Debt to EBITDA of 2.9x and LTV of 26.1%, both slightly above the figures reported in 2018 year-end.

Energy turnover reached 28.3M€ in 1H19, increasing by 10.9% when compared to 1H18. This evolution benefited from the Renewables operation, driven by the increased availability of the solar resource in all projects in operation, and also by the Cogeneration operation, which had a positive y.o.y. evolution both in volume and price.

  • The EBITDA reached 8.5M€, performing a growth of 15.6% y.o.y.. The EBITDA margin stood at 29.9%, 1.2pp above 1H18. It should be noted that the EBITDA in 2019 continued negatively affected by the significant increase in the price of CO2 licences versus 2018.
  • Recurrent EBIT increased by 16.2%, from 2.6M€ to 3.0M€.
  • The CAPEX amounted to 12.7M€, almost entirely due to the ongoing development in the biomass-fuelled cogeneration plant, which stood at 11.7M€ in 1H19 and is progressing as planned. This project, which will start operating in 2020, will ensure a material and stable flow of cash throughout 25 years (the feed-in tariff period) and is currently CapWatt's most significant project in terms of investment.
  • Presently, almost all the projects of this segment operate in the regulated market. The first project to be carried over the free market corresponds to 10MW (solar energy), which should take place in 2H21.
  • To date, CapWatt has projects under development with a capacity of 12.6MW, 10MW in the biomass-fired cogeneration plant, 2.0MW in Cogeneration and 0.6MW in Renewables, namely in photovoltaic self-consumption units.
  • Already in July 2019, CapWatt took the first steps to acquire 100% of the share capital of Futura Energía Inversiones, S.L., a company based in Spain. This acquisition is part of the growth strategy of the Energy segment and aims to complement its activity, positioning CapWatt as a promoter of integrated Energy solutions, enhancing its capabilities in the sourcing of natural gas and emission allowances and, especially , in the placement of the electric energy produced in a scenario post feed-in tariffs.

Due to a level of orders below the company's potential, both in 4Q18 and in the beginning of 2019, Adira registered a Turnover
of 4.1M€ and a negative EBITDA of 1.6M€. However, the level of orders witnessed since March 2019, consistently above the
previous year, allows us to anticipate a more favorable evolution in the second half of the year, both in turnover and profitability.

  • Since 1 January 2019, the Hospitality segment includes the contribution of the Aqualuz Lagos operation, now counting with a portfolio of six Hotel units. In 1H19, the Aqualuz Lagos operation registered a turnover of 968 thousand euros and a negative EBITDA of 21 thousand euros, which reflects the natural seasonality of the business, where in general the positive performance begins to stand out at the end of the second quarter of the year. In fact, the information gathered about the 3Q19 performance so far, allows us to anticipate a favorable backdrop for the Hotel operation throughout 2019.
  • Notwithstanding the RevPar increase in the amount of 2.3% in 2Q19, RevPar in 1H19 decreased marginally when compared to 1H18, due to the 1Q19 performance, as reported.
  • The EBITDA increased by 11.8% y.o.y., to 1.2M€, consequence of the growing profitability of the operations, not only in Porto, but also in Tróia Peninsula. It should be noted that, on a comparable basis, i.e. excluding the impact of Aqualuz Lagos operation, the segment's turnover and EBITDA would still increase.
  • On a quarterly basis, Recurrent EBIT stood at 0.8M€ in 2Q19, 27.8% above 2Q18. The EBIT margin increased by 1.1pp, reaching 10.9% in 2Q19.
  • The CAPEX reached 380 thousand euros in 1H19, essentially due to the refurbishment of Porto Palácio Hotel and the beginning of the Santa Apolónia Railway Station project, in Lisbon.

  • Turnover totaled 16.6M€ in 1H19, 24.7% below 1H18. This was driven by a delay in a group of Refrigeration projects, as well as by a reduction in HVAC activity, an outcome of our strategy for the business, which focuses on projects of greater value and complexity, where our contribution is better perceived.
  • The EBITDA reached 0.2M€, registering an increase of 6.3% versus 1H18. Despite the turnover decrease, the EBITDA evolution is due to our greater focus on Refrigeration, coupled with an improvement in HVAC, driven by our strategy of focusing on more profitable projects.
  • The Recurrent EBIT reached negative 0.1M€, which compares with 0.1M€ in 1H19.
  • It should be noted that Refrigeration & HVAC orders backlog amounts to 20.2M€, representing roughly 5.1 months of turnover.
