|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The recurring revenues totalled €524.8m in the 9 months of 2018, corresponding to a 1.3% increase vis-à-vis the same period of 2017 as a result of the revenues growth in the Express & Parcels (+14.7%) and Banco CTT (+26.6%) business units which offset the decline in the Financial Services revenues (-29.0%). |

| Despite the decline of addressed mail volumes (-7.1%), this growth was the result of the product mix positive evolution (22.9% growth of international inbound mail and 5.8% of registered mail volumes in 3Q18), and the effective average price increase (+3.9%). |

In the 9 months of 2018 addressed mail volumes saw a decline worse than the maximum expected range [-5% to -6%]. This evolution was to some extent negatively influenced by the existence of 1 less working day than in the 9 months of 2017. The year will end with 2 more working days (3 more in the 4th quarter of 2018).
The addressed mail volumes decline in the 9 months of 2018 was mainly a result of the decline in transactional mail volumes (-6.3%). This decline was due in large part to the decrease of ordinary mail (-8.1%) which accounts for circa 77% of the transactional mail volumes.
On the other hand, the Company benefited from the positive performances of: (i) international inbound mail volumes, which grew by 12,2% in the 9 months of 2018, corresponding to revenues increase of €9.6m, due to the high growth trend of volumes originated in Asian countries; (ii) registered mail volumes, which increased by 1.5%, representing a revenues growth of €3.4m, particularly as a result of mailings from government entities and the Banking and Insurance sectors related to the new regulation on the data protection, and the contribution of private customers; and (iii) the lottery business (partially suspended in the 1st half of 2017), which posted a yearon-year growth of €1.6m.
The revenuesof the Express & Parcels business unit reached €110.4m in the 9 months of 2018, a 14.7% growth over the same period of the previous year. This business unit is operated by CTT Expresso and Transporta in Portugal, by Tourline in Spain, and by CORRE in Mozambique.
In the 9 months of 2018, businesses in all geographies grew when compared to the same period of the previous year, particularly:
Revenues from this business in Portugal (excluding internal customers of the Group) grew by 16.8% (+€9.5m) and stood at €66.1m in the 9 months of 2018. In this period, Transporta contributed €10.6m (+€4.9m) to the consolidated accounts. Nevertheless, as CTT has bought its total share capital in May 2017, the comparable period of the previous year is 5 months. Excluding the effect of Transporta, this business in Portugal would have grown by 9.2%
Volumes in Portugal totalled 14.4 million items in the 9 months of 2018, a 14.6% growth over the same period of 2017 (+10.1%, excluding approximately 1.9 million items from Transporta). This evolution is essentially the result of the growth of the CEP business, with the activity growth in the B2B and the B2C segments and ecommerce. The banking business reversed the downward trend seen in recent years, following the addition of two large customers of the sector in the last quarter of 2017.
In Spain, revenues (excluding internal customers of the Group) stood at €40.4m, +11.6% over the same period of the previous year mainly due to the 16.4% increase in volumes, greatly influenced by the e-commerce business.
It should be noted that in September Tourline launched its new Madrid hub which significantly increases the handling capacity, essential for pursuing the company's growth strategy, and will allow the achievement of relevant efficiencies in the handling processes.
Mozambique revenues in euros reached €1.4m, +16.2% compared to the 9 months of 2017.
In line with the 1st half and in contrast with the Mozambican economy, CORRE maintained a good performance. The results are supported in new businesses, based on the collection, transportation and distribution of clinical samples in the health sector, and on the growth of the banking business.
This Financial Services revenues reached €30.7m in the 9 months of 2018, recording a decrease of €12.6m (-29.0%) compared to the same period of 2017.
The provision of these services was impacted by the decrease in the placement of one of the Public Debt products, which was replaced, in October 2017, by another with a lower yield4 , with the result that the amounts traded in the placement of Public Debt Certificates fell by 47.7% (-€1,541m), representing a decrease in commissions of €12.2m (-52.3%).
In the 9 months of 2018, the following should be noted: (i) the placement of €1,687.2m in Public Debt, including €616.3m in the 3rd quarter corresponding to a significant recovery in this line of business as it is 3.1% above the 2 nd quarter of 2018; (ii) in the money orders and transfers segment, 11.6 million transactions were carried out, which translated into €6.2m in revenues (-€0.9m; -12.7% vs 9M17); and (iii) in the payments business 21.0 million transactions were carried out, corresponding to revenues of €10.0m (-€0.7m; -6.8% vs 9M17).
The revenues of BANCO CTT business unit reached €17.0m in the 9 months of 2018, a 26.6% growth (+€3.6m) over the same period of the previous year driven mostly by the net interest margin growth (+€3.4m).
The operating performance of the bank in this quarter is to be noted: new records were hit in mortgage loans production with €54.6m and in consumer credit with €11.6m, and this one was the best performing quarter of 2018 in terms of opening of new accounts.
The incorporation of Payshop in this segment contributed €5.1m of external revenues in payment solutions, corresponding to +€0.2m (+3.8%) vs the 9 months of 2017.
On 24 July 2018, Banco CTT consolidated its strategy by acquiring 321 Crédito, a benchmark company specialised in financing the purchase of used cars in Portugal. The acquisition of 321 Crédito will allow for the diversification of the product portfolio of Banco CTT with a consumer credit business, as well as the optimisation of Banco CTT balance sheet by improving its loan-to-deposits ratio from 20% to over 60%. The completion of the transaction is expected to take place in the 1st quarter of 2019 and is pending approval of the Bank of Portugal/European Central Bank. On 11 October, the Competition Authority made the decision not to oppose this transaction.
Recurring operating costs totalled €459.8m, +€9.9m (+2.2%) year-on-year. This evolution is the result of the cost reduction following the implementation of the Operational Transformation Plan, and the increase in variable costs associated with the Express & Parcels volumes growth in Portugal and Spain, which contributed to the growth of direct costs (+€12.0m; +13.8%). To be noted is the increase of the fleet costs (+€1.1m; +7.1%) due to the increase in activity and the rise in fuel prices, which resulted from a 7.6% increase in fuel costs (+€0.4m), as well as from an increase of 60.1% (+€1.3m) in fleet maintenance due to the renewal of the operational fleet.
Operating costs are impacted by the inorganic effect of Transporta (+€5.4m), although costs are not fully comparable as the integration of Transporta occurred as from May 2017.

IT costs and buildings costs were reduced by €1.8m (-8.9%) and by €0.7m (-2.0%), respectively.
The recurring staff costs decreased by €4.3m (-1.7%) year-on-year as a result of the reinforcement of the human resources optimisation programme that started the previous year, and the salary revision agreed with the organisations representing the workers with effect as of January 2018 which as at 30 September 2018 represented an increase of circa €2.0m in staff costs.
As at 30 September 2018, the CTT headcount (permanent and fixed-term staff) consisted of 12,590 employees, 253 less (-2.0%) than as at the same date of 2017.
There was a decrease of 441 in the number of permanent staff and an increase of 188 in the number of staff with fixed-term contracts. The reduction of staff in CTT, S.A. (-412) had a notable impact on this evolution.

For their importance, two major areas are to be highlighted: Operations and Distribution (with 7,030 employees, with special emphasis on the importance of the delivery postmen who total 4,504 employees) and the Retail Network (with 2,809 employees). Together, these areas represent circa 89% of CTT S.A. headcount.
It should be noted that the figures already reflect 199 exits in 2018, which occurred until the end of the 3rd quarter of 2018, and 161 exits in 2017 in the context of the human resources optimisation programme related to the Operational Transformation Plan underway.
The operating activity generated a recurring EBITDA6 of €65.0m, 4.6% (-€3.1m) lower than that of the 9 months of 2017, with a margin of 12.4%.
The recurring EBITDA was affected by the decline in Financial Services (-€8.3m) and BCTT (-€1.8m), which was not fully offset by the increase in Mail and E&P revenues (€5.1m and €2.0m, respectively).

The consolidated net financial result totalled -€4.0m, which represents a year-on-year decrease of -€0.3m (-7.4%). Interest and other financial income decreased by 88.0% (-€0.3m), due to the reduced rates of return on term deposits, to lower liquidity levels, and CTT's continued conservative investment policy. Financial costs incurred amounted to €4.1m, mainly incorporating financial costs with post-employment and long-term employee benefits for an amount of €4.0m, as well as, but with lesser impact, the interest associated with finance leases and bank loans (€0.2m).
In the 9 months of 2018, CTT obtained a consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders of €9.9m, which is 49.3% below that obtained in the same period of 2017, and a 1.9% net profit margin (3.8% in the 9 months of 2017). The net profit achieved was strongly influenced by the non-recurring costs in the amount of €16.3m associated with the Operational Transformation Programme.

From January to September 2018, the perception of the customers on the quality of service was favourable, as 79.1% of the customers who responded to the customer satisfaction survey considered the overall quality of service of CTT as good or very good.
In the period under analysis, the OQSI - Overall Quality of Service Index stood at 139.0 points, compared to a target of 100 points.
Following the Draft Decision approved on 11 January 2018, on 18 July 2018, ANACOM communicated the final decision on the quality of service criteria applicable to the provision of the universal postal service for 2019 and 2020. Compared to the Draft decision, the 24 quality of service indicators are maintained, but the reliability targets for the routeing times of ordinary mail, bulk mail, ordinary parcels, and newspapers and periodicals released at greater than weekly intervals were revised downwards and set at 99.7%, instead of the 99.9% laid down in the Draft Decision. Contrary to what was proposed in the Draft Decision, the new indicators shall not apply from 1 July 2018, but rather from 1 January 2019 onwards.
The new set of indicators, which compare with the previous 11 indicators, as well as the set-up of much more demanding objectives for some of them, shows that they go well beyond the current European practices and trends in this field.
On 18 July 2018, ANACOM has also communicated the decision on the price formulation criteria for the postal services comprising the Universal Postal Service for the 2018-2020 three-year period, following the Draft Decision approved on 11 January 2018. In the 2018 the rules in force apply, as defined by ANACOM in 2014.
The new rules shall be applicable to the prices in force in 2019 and 2020 and set a maximum annual price change of the basket of letter mail, editorial mail and parcels services (non-reserved services), linked to the inflation rate ("CPI") including inflation adjustment factors ("CPIAF") and volume adjustment factors ("VAF") which shall take into account the differences that may occur between the actual and the values forecast for those variables. Volume forecasts for the 2018 - 2020 period were subject to a new consultation following a Draft Decision also published on 18 July 2018. The final Decision on this issue has not been published so far.
On 18 October 2018, by means of arbitration and administrative procedures, CTT applied for a declaration of invalidity of the decision of ANACOM regarding the parameters of quality of service and performance targets associated with the provision of the universal postal service ("USO") communicated on 18 July 2018, on the grounds of its disproportionate and inadequate nature, as detailed in the CTT communication to the market of that date, which is available at http://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi/emitentes/docs/fr69943.pdf.
This press release is based on CTT – Correios de Portugal, S.A. interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the 9 months of 2018 with limited revision by an auditor registered with the Portuguese Securities Commission (CMVM).

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 Telégrafos e Telefones" government department and its legal form is the result of successive reorganisations carried out by the Portuguese state business sector in the communications area.
The shares of CTT are listed on Euronext Lisbon.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements attached herewith are expressed in Euros, as this is the functional currency of the Group.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 30 October 2018.
The accounting policies adopted, including financial risk management policies, are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017, except for the changes mentioned in section 3. Changes to accounting policies, errors and estimates.
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 2018, and in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.
The Group has adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments as at 1 January 2018.
IFRS 9 sets out requirements for recognising and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and some contracts to buy or sell non-financial items. This standard replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.
IFRS 9 established a new impairment model. In this way, loss event will no longer need to occur before an impairment loss is recognised.
As soon as the loss event occur (what is currently defined as "objective evidence of impairment"), the accumulated impairment is allocated directly to the financial asset affected, thus providing, from that point on, a similar treatment the IAS 39, including the treatment of interest revenue.
One of the main amendments resulting from the adoption of this standard is the recognition of the impairment recognition of impairment on the exposure to securities, bank deposits and other financial applications, which was not required under IAS 39, except if there was objective evidence of impairment.

| The change in the accounting policy resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 was applied retrospectively, except for | ||||
| the option not to restate comparative information for prior periods in relation to classification and measurement | ||||

| resulting from the adoption of IFRS 9 were recognised in retained earnings with reference to 1 January 2018. | ||||

The adoption of IFRS 9 represents a significant change to the methodology and calculation of impairments in banks.
Due to the absence of past records, Banco CTT based the calculation on benchmarking of parameters making the needed adjustments in order to migrate from the vision of loss incurred to the vision of expected credit loss (ECL).
The analysis framework of credit risk is based on a model of collective and individual analysis. In the collective analysis, basically, Banco CTT considers that the Probability of Default (PD) is constant over the instruments' life time and applies in stage 2 a methodology of survival rate to calculate the PD of each period of the instrument's life time that it is multiplied by the Loss Given Default (LGD), which, in turn, is a function of expected exposure in each period and the existing collateral in the operation. Finally, Banco CTT updates the expected value of the all the periods considered (12 months in stage 1, life time in stages 2 and 3).
In the individual analysis, Banco CTT begins by evaluating the existence of objective evidence of impairment. If it does not exist, the credit losses are treated as stage 1. If there is objective evidence of impairment, the impairment losses are calculated by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the original effective interest rate of each contract and the accounting value for each credit. The losses are recorded against profit or loss.
In the portfolio of securities and cash and cash equivalents and financial investments, the impairments are calculated by assigning i) a probability of default that derives from the rating of the issuer or counterparty, respectively, and ii) a Loss Given Default (LGD) that results from market parameters.
In the portfolio of securities and cash equivalents and financial investments, the impairments are calculated by assigning i) a probability of default that derives from the rating of the issuer or counterparty, respectively and ii) a Loss Given Default (LGD) that results from market parameters.
Regarding the remaining companies, the Group applies the simplified method and registers expected credit losses until maturity for all accounts receivables. The expected credit losses were calculated based on past records of credit losses throughout the period considered statistically relevant, estimating the rate of expected losses by companies and customer typology.
The revenue recognition model according to IFRS 15 is based on five steps in order to determine when the revenue should be recognised and the amount:
| satisfied over the period or, on the contrary, the control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer at a given point in time. The revenue should be recognised for the amount that the company expects to receive. |
According to the new model, the revenue recognition depends on whether the "performance obligations" are | ||

| Related Tax | 322,865 | (50,892) | 271,972 |
The Group decided to adopt IFRS 15 using the cumulative effect method ("modified retrospective approach"), with the effect of the initial application of this standard recognised at the date of initial application (i.e. 1 January 2018). As a result, the Group will not apply the requirements of IFRS 15 to the comparative period presented.
According to the analysis performed, in the CTT Group, the adoption of IFRS 15 had the following impacts:
a) Sales of philatelic and pre-paid products
Before the adoption of this new standard, the revenue was recognised when the philatelic and pre-paid products were sold.
Under IFRS 15, the revenue is recognised only when the performance obligation is satisfied, i.e., only at the moment of the effective utilisation of the products for mail delivery purposes. However, as some of these products have never been used by the clients, for example the philatelic products for stamps collection, CTT performed a customer survey in order to obtain information regarding the use pattern of these products and, in this way, assess the percentage of the products that are not expected to be used. In these situations, the revenue should be recognised at the time of the sale. In the remaining situations, the adoption of the IFRS 15 implies the deferral of the revenue given the current policy.
b) Rendering of Express Services
Before the adoption of this new standard, the revenue from the rendering of express services (parcels) was recognised when the customer requested the service in our retail network.
According to IFRS 15, the revenue is recognised only when the performance obligation is satisfied, i.e., only when the mail or parcel is delivered to the final customer. The adoption of the IFRS 15 implies the deferral of the revenue given the current policy.
The underlying estimates and assumptions were determined based on the best knowledge of the on-going events and transactions, at the time the financial statements were approved, as well as on the experience of past and/or current events.
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.
In 2018, Payshop became a subsidiary of Banco CTT, through a capital increase operation in which all the shares representing the share capital of Payshop (Portugal), S.A. were transferred to Banco CTT. This operation is aligned with the strategy of concentrating the Group's business lines related to the financial sector at Banco CTT as well as with the project submitted to Banco de Portugal at the time of the creation of Banco CTT.
The comparable information for 2017 has been restated, and Payshop has been included in Banco CTT segment.
Therefore, the business of CTT is organised in the following segments:
The segments cover the three CTT business areas, as follows:
Besides the four above mentioned segments, there are two sales channels, which are common to all businesses and products, the Retail Network and the Sales Department. In this analysis, the Retail Network, which is connected to the obligations of the universal postal service concession, is incorporated in the Mail segment as well as the Sales Departments, and integrates internal revenues related to the provision of services to other segments, as well as the sale in its network of third-party products and services.
The amounts reported in each business segment result from the aggregation of the subsidiaries and business 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 financial statements of the companies and related business units, adjusted by the elimination of transactions between companies of the same segment.
However, as CTT, S.A. has activity 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 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 corporate and support areas (CTT Central Structure) previously unallocated, are allocated among the Mail and Financial Services segments according to the average number of CTT, S.A. employees affected to each of these segments.
With the allocation of all costs, the Earnings before depreciation, provisions, impairments, financial results and taxes by segment in the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018 and 2017 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, leading to its increase / decrease from one period to another.

The commercial legislation establishes that at least 5% of the annual net profit must be allocated to reinforce the legal reserve, until it represents at least 20% of the share capital. This reserve is not distributable except in the event of the liquidation of the Company but may be used to absorb losses after all the other reserves have been depleted or incorporated in the share capital.
Following the attribution of own shares to executive members of the Board of Directors within the scope of the remuneration policy established by the Remuneration Committee for the 2014-2016 term of office, in January 2017, the correspondent reserve was reduced in the amount of 5,097,527 Euros.
As at 30 September 2018, this caption includes the amount of 8 Euros related to the creation of an unavailable reserve for the same amount of the acquisition price of the own shares held.
This heading records the profits transferred to reserves that are not imposed by the law or the articles of association, nor constituted pursuant to contracts signed by the Company.

Following the revision of the Remuneration Regulation for Members of the Statutory Bodies for the term of office 2017-2019, the terms of the Long-term Variable Remuneration were revised, with the payment being now made in cash, not in shares as in the previous plan. The plan is now considered as "cash settlement" which, according to IFRS2, implies that the liability should be annually updated and any changes resulting from the assessment should be recorded in the income statement.
The attribution and calculation of the Long-term Variable Remuneration are based on the results of the performance evaluation during the term of office (1 January 2017 to 31 December 2019), which consists of a comparison of the recorded performance of the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of CTT shares and the weighted TSR of a peer group composed of national and international companies.
The long-term variable remuneration attributed to the executive members of the Board of Directors will be paid at the end of the 2017-2019 term of office, and the amount of 30,105 Euros corresponds to the cost to be
assumed in the period between 1 January 2018 and 30 September 2018 based on the assessment performed by an independent entity as at 31.12.2017.
For the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, and in accordance with the provisions of the Operational Transformation Plan, no estimate of Annual Variable Compensation was recorded for the members of the Statutory Bodies of CTT, S.A..
The change in the "Remuneration" caption arises essentially from the combined effect of the HR optimisation programme initiated in the previous year, the salary revision agreed with the workers' representative organisations, as well as the decision not to pay the variable remuneration related to 2017.
During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, this caption includes the amount of 15.8 million Euros related to compensations established for termination of employment contracts by mutual agreement, a process initiated in 2018 following the continuation of the HR optimisation programme.
Social welfare costs relate almost entirely to health costs incurred by the Group with active workers, as well as expenses related to Health and Safety at Work.
During the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 30 September 2017, the heading Staff costs includes the amounts of 543,015 Euros and 622,537 Euros, respectively, related to expenses with workers' representative bodies.
For the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 30 September 2017, the average number of staff of the Group was 12,440 and 12,579, respectively.
Companies with head office in Portugal are subject to tax on their profit through Corporate Income Tax ("IRC") at the normal tax rate of 21%, whilst the municipal tax is established at a maximum rate of 1.5% of taxable profit, and State surcharge is 3% of taxable profit above 1,500,000 Euros and 5% of taxable profit above 7,500,000 Euros up to 35,000,000 Euros and 9% of the taxable profit above 35,000,000 Euros. Tourline is subject to income taxes in Spain, through income tax (Impuesto sobre Sociedades - "IS") at a rate of 25%, and the subsidiary CORRE is subject to corporate income tax in Mozambique ("IRPC") at a rate of 32%.
Corporate income tax is levied on the Group and its subsidiaries CTT – Expresso, S.A., Mailtec Comunicação, S.A., Payshop Portugal, S.A, CTT Contacto, S.A., Banco CTT, S.A. and Escrita Inteligente, S.A., through the Special Regime for the Taxation of Groups of Companies ("RETGS"). The remaining companies are taxed individually.
In the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 30 September 2017, the reconciliation between the nominal rate and the effective income tax rate was as follows:

| 7,241,053 | 13,224,676 |
During the nine-month period ended 30 September 2018, the heading Insufficiency/(Excess) estimated income tax mainly relates to the insufficiency of the income tax estimate of previous years in the net amount of 648,522 Euros and to the tax credit related to SIFIDE of 2016 in the amount of 452,822 Euros. 30.09.2018 31.12.2017
The effective tax rate, not considering the effect of the "Tax losses without deferred tax" would be of 35.06% and 36.56%, in the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 30 September 2017, respectively.
As at 30 September 2018 and 31 December 2017, the balance of deferred tax assets and liabilities was composed as follows:

The tax losses carried forward are related to the losses of the subsidiaries Tourline, Escrita Inteligente and Transporta, and are detailed as follows:
| Revaluation of tangible fixed assets before IFRS adoption | (151,282) | (560,116) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company | Tax losses | Deferred tax assets | |
| 48,074,560 | - | ||

| The tax losses carried forward are related to the losses of the subsidiaries Tourline, Escrita Inteligente and Tourline Escrita Inteligente Transporta |
5,054,127 | 1,061,367 |
Regarding Tourline, the tax losses of the years 2008, 2009 and 2011 may be reported in the next 15 years, the tax losses related to 2012, 2013 and 2014 may be carried forward in the next 18 years and the tax losses of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 have no time limit for deduction. As far as Escrita Inteligente is concerned, the tax losses related to the years 2015 and 2016 may be carried forward in the next 12 years and the tax losses of 2017 may be reported in the next 5 years. Regarding Transporta, the tax loss refers to the years 2017 and 2018 and may be carried forward in the next 5 years.
The sensitivity analysis performed allows us to conclude that a 1% reduction in the underlying rate of deferred tax would imply an increase in the income tax for the period of about 2.4 million Euros.
The Group policy for recognition of fiscal credits regarding SIFIDE is to recognise the credit at the moment of the effective receipt of the commission certification statement, certifying the eligibility of expenses presented in the applications for tax benefits.
Regarding the year ended 31 December 2015, for the expenses incurred with R&D of 3,358,151 Euros, the Group will have the possibility of benefiting from a tax deduction in corporate income tax estimated at 2,556,380 Euros. According to the notification dated 6 April 2017 of the Certification Commission, a tax credit of 1,079,209 Euros was attributed to CTT.
For the year ended 31 December 2016, regarding the expenses incurred with R&D of 1,895,281 Euros, the Group will have the possibility of benefiting from a tax deduction in corporate income tax estimated at 1,006,271 Euros. According to the notification dated 22 March 2018 of the Certification Commission, a tax credit of 444,943 Euros was attributed to the Group.
For the year ended 31 December 2017, regarding the expenses incurred with R&D of 1,432,825 Euros, the Group will have the possibility of benefiting from a tax deduction in corporate income tax estimated at 590,740 Euros
Pursuant to the legislation in force in Portugal, income tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities for a period of four years (five years for Social Security), except when there have been tax losses, tax benefits have been received, or when inspections, claims or challenges are in progress, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, these years are extended or suspended. Therefore, CTT's income tax returns from 2016 and onwards may still be reviewed and corrected, since the income tax returns prior to this date have already been inspected, even though the deadlines for the years 2014 and 2015 have not yet expired.
The Board of Directors of the Company believes that any corrections arising from reviews/inspections by the tax authorities of these income tax returns will not have a significant effect on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2018.
The Regulation on Assessment and Control of Transactions with CTT's Related Parties defines related party as a qualified shareholder, officer, or even a third party related by any commercial or relevant personal interest and subsidiaries or associates or jointly controlled entities (joint ventures).
According to the Regulation, the significant transactions with related parties must be previously approved by the Audit Committee of CTT as well as transactions that members of the Board of Directors of CTT and/or its subsidiaries conduct with CTT and/or its subsidiaries.
The other transactions with related parties are communicated to the Audit Committee for the purpose of subsequent examination.
During the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2018 and 30 September 2017, the following transactions took place and the following balances existed with related parties:

The transactions and balances between subsidiaries are eliminated in the consolidation process and are not disclosed in this note.
On 5 July 2018 the Portuguese Competition Authority (AdC) decided to close the case against CTT and accept the commitments undertaken by CTT in the framework of the access to the postal network under the terms and for the purposes laid down in article 23 of Law no. 19/2012, of 8 May, (Competition Law), including the extension of the scope of the offer of access to the postal network by competing postal operators, as follows:
These commitments shall be implemented within six months from the date of the notification.
The Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition fined Tourline Express Mensajería, S.L.U. in the amount of 3,148,845 Euros (three million, one hundred and forty-eight thousand, eight hundred and forty-five euros), for alleged cartel practice with ICS - International Courier Solution SL, in the courier market in Spain, between October 2013 and April 2016. As it considered the decision completely unfounded, Tourline has appealed to the Spanish Audiencia Nacional (National High Court). In this context, Tourline recognised a provision as referred in Note 18.
The financing agreement between CTT and the banks BBVA and Bankinter entered into on 27 September 2017 was amended as follows effective as from 27 September 2018:
Following these amendments CTT incurs in a commission on the total amount financed in the amount of 75 thousand Euros. As at 30 September 2018, no amount had been used.
This Programme shall be implemented during the next 2 years and represents a strong commitment to the modernisation of the postal and logistics operations. With an investment of about 40 million Euros, CTT intends to intensify mail sorting automation, improve working conditions, strengthen quality and modernise the distribution network infrastructure, thus reacting to the mail volumes decline and the growth of Express & Parcels, which reflect the change in consumer behaviour as a result of the digitalisation of the economy and society.
On 18 October 2018, by means of arbitration and administrative procedures, CTT applied for a declaration of invalidity of the Decision of ANACOM regarding the parameters of quality of service and performance targets associated with the provision of the Universal Postal Service ("USO") known on 18 July 2018, on the grounds of its disproportionate and inadequate nature, as detailed in the communication to the market of that date, available at http://web3.cmvm.pt/sdi/emitentes/docs/FR69943.pdf.
