Consolidated Turnover reached €3.9m in 1Q24, decreasing 2.3%, when compared to 1Q23, driven by both Media and Bright Pixel businesses.
EBITDA reached €20.7m in 1Q24, significantly above 1Q23, driven by the positive evolution from equity method and despite the lower underlying EBITDA.
Equity method contributions increased from €7.9m to €23.5m fuelled by the higher stake in NOS (currently 37.37% versus 26.07% in 1Q23) and its nonrecurrent income related with a favourable court ruling regarding ANACOM activity fees.
Direct Results increased to €22.4m in 1Q24, from €7.8m in 1Q23, driven by the higher EBITDA level.
Indirect Results, were positive by €3.1m in 1Q24, explained by the positive exchange rate impacts and fair value adjustments on Bright Pixel's portfolio. Conversely, the indirect results in 1Q23 were negatively impacted by exchange rate impacts.
Net income group share stood at €25.5m, above the €5.2m presented in 1Q23, driven by both direct and indirect results evolution.
The net cash position stood at €140.0m at the end of 1Q24, €1.7m above YE23. This performance was driven by (i) the €3.3m cash in from the sale of Reblaze (Bright Pixel's portfolio company) at the end of 2023 and (ii) the negative operating cash-flow, financial activity and taxes amounting to €1.5m.

Consequently, these financial statements do not include all the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), so they should be read with the consolidated financial statements for the year end on 31 December 2023. The accounting policies and measurement criteria, adopted by the Group on 31 March 2024 are consistent with those used in the preparation of 31 December 2023 financial statements.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of Sonaecom Group were prepared on the assumption of continuity of operations, based on the books and accounting records of the companies included in the consolidation, which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted and effective in the European Union and, based on historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain financial instruments.

| Accounting requirements for Sale and Leaseback transactions after the transaction date when some or all lease payments are variable. |

Excluding the ones mentioned above, the remaining activities of the Group have been classified as unallocated.
Inter-segment transactions during the periods ended on 31 March 2024 and 2023 were eliminated in the consolidation process. All these transactions were made at market prices.

The value of the investment held in NOS is measured using the equity method.
At the general meeting of NOS in April 2024, the payment of ordinary dividends of 0.35 euros per share was approved, relating to 2023 results. In this regard, Sonaecom recorded a dividend receipt amounting to 67,384,516 euros.
On 20 July 2023, Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A. has entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire to Sonae SGPS, S.A. 58,204,920 shares of NOS SGPS, S.A. representing 11.30% of the share capital and 11.38% of the voting rights of NOS, at a price of 3.6527 euros per share, corresponding to the average closing price of the shares over the last six months, calculated after the market close on 19 July 2023, amounting to a value of 212.6 million euros.
Given this acquisition, Sonaecom now holds, directly, 192,527,188 shares in NOS, representing approximately 37.37% of its share capital and 37.65% of the voting rights.
Albeit Sonaecom having exceeded one third of the voting rights corresponding to the share capital of NOS, such fact does not result in any material change regarding in the exercise of voting rights inherent to the shares. The voting rights inherent to the shares are no longer attributed directly to Sonae, being now indirectly attributed to Sonae as the controlling shareholder of Sonaecom.
Taking into account the percentage of ownership, directly and indirectly attributable to Sonaecom, it was analyzed in the light of what is described in IFRS 10, whether Sonaecom could exercise control over NOS. From this analysis, it was concluded that Sonaecom does not control the aforementioned company, insofar as it does not hold the majority of the share capital and voting rights of NOS and, that it is not clear that i) it is possible for Sonaecom to make decisions for itself only and ii) that the existence of a majority contrary to its intentions is unlikely. In view of the above and given that Sonaecom has the opportunity to participate in NOS' decision-making processes, we are facing a situation of significant influence, with the respective investment being classified as "Investments in associates" and recorded in Sonae's consolidated accounts using the equity method patrimonial.
As set out in IFRS 3 – Business Combination, an assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was carried out.
The fair value of the net assets acquired was determined using different valuation methodologies for each type of asset or liability, based on the best available information. The main adjustments to fair value made within the scope of this process were: i) customer portfolio (+222.8 million euros), which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 years; ii) rights of use (+294.6 million euros), which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 12 years; iii) investments in joint ventures and associates (+40.3 million euros), and iv) contingent liabilities (-73.7 million euros).
On 31 March 2024, it was considered the assumptions made in the impairment tests carried out in 2023 did not have significant variations.
The evolution in provisions occurred during the first 3 months of 2024 compared to 31 December 2023 was as follows:
NOS, S.A., NOS Açores, NOS Madeira and NOS Wholesale received the settlement note, issued by ANACOM, of the annual Fee of Activity for the 2023 financial year: 10.486 thousand euros, 120 thousand euros, 247 thousand euros e 106 thousand euros, respectively. Similar to the settlements received for the years 2009 to 2023, Anacom's acts were challenged in court.
Between 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, the Constitutional Court ruled, in more than two dozen separate cases, that have became final and unappealable, that Ordinance 1473-B/2008, of 17 December, which regulates the determination of fees due for the exercise of the activity of provider of electronic communications networks and services, is unconstitutional, and ordered ANACOM to refund the amount unduly charged. In the quarter ended on 31 March 2024, an accumulated profit of 70.2 million euros (2023: 38.5 million euros and 2024: 31.7 million euros) was recognized as a result of the favorable decisions in the Constitutional Court, and 35.8 million euros (2023: 15.6 million euros and

2024: 20.2 million euros) were received. The remaining process are awaiting final judgement/decision.
After the discussion and trial sessions were held in 2022, NOS filed na appeal against the court decision that dispensed with the production of testimonial evidence, wich was upheld by the Lisbon Court of Appeal. The discussion and judgement trial sessions have been scheduled for the first half of 2024. Board of Directors of NOS is conviced that the arguments used by the author are not justified, which is why it is believed that the outcome of the proceeding should not result in significant impacts for the group NOS's financial statements.
In October 2023, the Supreme Court of Justice (STJ) dismissed the appeal filed by MEO which, in November 2023, appealed to the Constitutional Court, which, in March 2024, decided not to hear the appeal. In April 2024, MEO filed a complaint with the conference. Further developments of the process are awaited, being the understanding of the Board of Directors, supported by the lawyers who monitor the process, that there is, in substantive terms, a good chance that NOS SA can win the action.
