Maia, 8th November 2022
• During 3Q22, Bright Pixel maintained its active portfolio management activity, with 2 new investments, some follow-ons and the closing of the sale of Cellwize. Already in October, Bright Pixel also concluded the sale of Maxive to Thales Europe with a capital gain of €64.8m.

During the third quarter, we continued to live under a complex and volatile geopolitical and macroeconomic environment. Rising inflation and interest rates, coupled with sustained high energy costs, have been severely impacting our communities.
Against this backdrop, our businesses were once again able to increase their investment levels, reinforce their value propositions and support households in facing these challenges, namely by maintaining competitive prices and responding to evolving consumer needs.
During 3Q22, Sonae saw market share increases across all businesses and registered a solid top line growth, a clear recognition by our customers of the competitiveness and quality of our offerings. Profit margins were naturally depressed, driven by record energy and transport costs, higher supplier prices and trading down movements. Nevertheless, consolidated results showed a strong level of resilience, and we continue to have a very solid financial position.
Sonae also maintained its active portfolio management activity in the quarter. Sonaecom announced the termination of the partnership in ZOPT, a move which is fully aligned with our intention to remain a reference shareholder of NOS and ensure the adequate conditions for the company to deploy its ambitious strategy. And Bright Pixel added two new retail tech companies to its portfolio and reinforced its position in some of the existing portfolio companies.
NAV reached €4bn at the end of 9M22, slightly above 1H22 level, mainly backed by the operational performance of our businesses and increased NAVs in both Sierra and Bright Pixel. Despite the strong fundamentals of our businesses, during 3Q22 Sonae's share price was impacted by the turbulence in capital markets, partially correcting in October.
Meanwhile, in this challenging context, we continued to be faithful to our mission and act responsibly in what concerns our social and environmental commitments. Regarding our communities, we continued to reinforce our support to local institutions, exceeding €21.5m in the first nine months of this year. In the environmental sustainability front, we reinforced our commitment by signing Business for Nature's "COP15 Business Statement", together with other 330 companies worldwide, urging governments for the need to set ambitious goals to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity.
Overall, I am naturally proud of these results and encouraged to face the future. I am confident that, despite the macroeconomic headwinds, we remain well prepared to react rapidly to changing circumstances and capture opportunities that lie ahead. Sonae will continue to pursue its mission, always investing with a long-term view and in the best interest of our people, our communities, and our customers.

Despite the challenging macro environment, the group's businesses were able to drive a healthy operational growth both in terms of top line and profitability. In 3Q22, total consolidated turnover surpassed €2bn (+15.0% yoy), with all our businesses contributing positively and strengthening once again their market leadership positions. Concerning profitability, underlying EBITDA improved by 7.2% yoy to €181m in 3Q22, leading 9M22 figure to reach €440m, with a margin of 8.0%, a 33bps decrease from last year, as record high energy costs continued to significantly pressure the cost base across our portfolio, together with higher production prices that were partially absorbed. Equity method consolidated businesses also continued to deliver improved operational performance which, coupled with some capital gains, led consolidated EBITDA to reach €544m at the end of 9M22 (+3.4% yoy), despite the 5.4% yoy reduction to €224m in the 3Q22.
Direct result stood at €101m in the quarter, implying a decrease of €14m yoy, mainly due to last year's capital gain from the sale of Maxmat (€40m), and net result (group share) reached €92m. In accumulated terms and benefiting from both the positive performance of our portfolio and the indirect result contribution from Sierra properties and Bright Pixel portfolio revaluation, net result (group share) reached €210m (+33% yoy) at the end of 9M22.
In terms of operational cash flow, Sonae's portfolio generated €67m over the last 12 months, implying a decrease when compared to last year, mainly due to higher capex following our businesses resume of the investment effort to pre-pandemic levels.
Sonae's portfolio management activity in 3Q22 was mainly driven by Bright Pixel, while during the last 12 months investments totalled €253m, including the acquisition of 10% in Sierra, the additional stake in NOS and Bright Pixel's investments in both new companies and follow-ons. Consequently, over the last 12 months, both our businesses' operational capex and Sonae's M&A investments more than offset the improved consolidated operational performance, leading FCF before dividends payment

to be slightly negative (-€1m) at the end of September. Therefore, and after the dividends paid out, consolidated net debt increased €164m yoy to €1bn at the end of 9M22. Nevertheless, the group's capital structure remains solid, with very comfortable leverage ratios and liquidity levels (more than €1bn of available liquidity – cash and unused credit facilities), while being fully financed until early 2024 and with an average cost of debt of c.1%.
Already in 4Q22, Bright Pixel concluded the sale of Maxive, which will have a significant impact on the Group's cash flow, while the sale of MDS' 50% stake (€100m cash-in) is still pending the required regulatory approvals but is expected to be closed until YE.
The geopolitical and macroeconomic instability continues to provide a challenging backdrop to all our businesses, as high inflation, increased interest rates and rising energy costs have significant impact in our clients' disposable income.

During 3Q22, the demanding economic environment, characterized by mounting inflation and rising interest rates, continued to negatively affect families' disposable income and consumer sentiment. The Portuguese grocery market continued to grow yoy, backed by the record high food inflation (15% in the 3Q and 11% ytd), which offset the reduction in total volumes owing to the increase of the cost of living.
In this adverse context, MC formats value proposal continued to be recognized by consumers, with total sales reaching €1.6bn in the 3Q22, increasing 16.0% yoy and with a +13.3% LfL evolution. This good performance was similar across both food and non-food businesses. In accumulated terms, 9M22 turnover reached €4.3bn, implying a 10.6% yoy increase (+8.6% LfL), with MC reinforcing its leadership position in the Portuguese market for another quarter. MC continues to evolve its omnichannel proposition, with total online sales representing 2.9% of total turnover in 9M22, slightly below last year, which was significantly impacted by the lockdown in the 1Q21.

In terms of profitability, MC continues to face harsh pressures on its cost base, due to higher energy prices, coupled with the effort to protect its customers and reinforce competitiveness by absorbing part of the inflationary charges. In fact, energy costs continued to increase significantly in 3Q22 and, in accumulated terms, were c.€40m above 2021 levels, being the main driver to the margin erosion in both periods. As such, 3Q22 underlying EBITDA stood at €158m (+5% yoy) with a 9.9% margin (-100bps yoy), leading 9M22 figure to €400m (+4% yoy) and a 9.3% margin (-59bps yoy).
In terms of capex, MC spent €61m in the 3Q22 (€131m in the 9M22), directed at powering its digital and logistic infrastructure, as well as at expanding and
refurbishing its store network. In the quarter, MC opened 16 new company-operated stores (representing +6k square meters of sales area), of which 3 additional Continente Bom Dia stores.
Finally, free cash flow generated in 9M22 reached €102m driven by the positive operational performance, the disciplined capex execution, and the seasonal working capital impacts, being the reduction from the €169m generated in 9M21 mainly attributable to the cash-in from the sale of Maxmat. Consequently, MC's net financial debt reached €521m at the end of 9M22 and the ratio of total net debt/underlying EBITDA remained stable yoy at 2.9x.
In 3Q22, Worten posted robust performance as a result of its successful omnichannel value proposition, combining highly convenient solutions with a wide product and services portfolio.
During this period, top line reached €315m, +10.6% yoy (+8.5% LfL), fostered by the positive contribution of seasonal categories sales, fuelled by high summer temperatures. In accumulated terms, the positive evolution of the last two quarters more than offset the challenging 1Q21 comparison, leading to a 9M22 turnover increase of 4.2% yoy (+3.2% LfL) to €836m. This strong sales performance led Worten to reinforce its market share in the Portuguese market, both online and offline.
Regarding profitability, efforts on the ongoing digital transformation and the increasing pressure on the cost structure, mainly on energy costs, partially offset the positive top line evolution. Consequently, underlying EBITDA in 3Q22 reached €21m, +3.1% yoy, resulting in a margin of 6.5%. In accumulated terms, underlying EBITDA is still below last year, mainly due to the record-high 1Q21 performance, that was fuelled by the mandatory lockdown imposed in Portugal during that period.




During 3Q22, Sierra recorded a strong operating performance across all business lines, particularly in its shopping centre portfolio, which recorded sales of +25.2% yoy and 11.9% above pre-pandemic levels, consistently across all its assets' geographies. Furthermore, occupancy rates continued to increase reaching 97.5% and collection rates returned to pre-pandemic levels. These consistent trading figures are a clear sign of the strength and resilience of Sierra's shopping centre portfolio.
As for the services business, Sierra has achieved significant milestones during 9M22, increasing its non-shopping centre assets under management through investment vehicles, gaining new property management contracts, and continuing Reify's expansion to new sectors and geographies. Overall, top line of the services business in 3Q22 improved 9.5% yoy.
On a proportional accounting basis, Sierra's net result stood at €17m in the 3Q22, +€6m when compared to 3Q21, benefitting from a strong operational performance and a gain from an asset sale (€5m). In cumulative terms, net result reached €45m at the end of 9M22, with a direct result of €32m and an indirect result of €13m.
Furthermore, at the end of September, Sierra's NAV, according to INREV
methodology, increased 9.0% vs YE21, surpassing €1bn, mainly driven by the positive net result in the period. Finally, and in what concerns the company's leverage profile, Sierra's gross loan-to-value reduced to 42.0% from 45.8% in YE21.
In 3Q22, Zeitreel continued to show a growth trend with a positive contribution of all portfolio brands, despite a very challenging context for discretionary consumption products (lower disposable income impacted by accelerated inflation levels and the interest rates' evolution). This performance allowed Zeitreel to consolidate a solid 20% yoy top line growth in 9M22.
Total turnover grew by 8% yoy in 3Q22 (LfL of +2.6%) to €102m, with a positive contribution from retail operations, and reaching €276m in cumulative terms for 9M22. Both quarterly and accumulated figures in line with 2019 levels, showing a definite recovery.
Online sales also continued to deliver a positive evolution when compared to the pre-pandemic levels, although naturally below pandemic/lockdown figures. In the 9M22, online sales represented 14% of total omnichannel sales.
In terms of profitability, Zeitreel was able to offset the increase in some cost lines (such as energy and logistics), and underlying EBITDA improved by €2m in 3Q22 and by €8m in 9M22, reaching €17m at the end of 9M22.





During 3Q22, and despite the macroeconomic context, Universo continued to deliver both on its strategy and expectations as its activity showed, once again, a positive recovery from last year. The company continued to build its credit book while improving its performance.
Regarding production, the strong evolution of most business lines led to an increase of +13% yoy in 3Q22, totalling €824m in 9M22, implying a 16% yoy growth.
The client base also continues to grow with new 85k credit card holders when compared to the end of 9M21 and more 16k vs 1H22. This represents more than 1 million clients, with 66% of the customer base being digital users.
Finally, regarding Universo's operational performance, turnover increased by €4m in 3Q22 and €13m in 9M22 when compared to last year. Underlying EBITDA improved by €4m in 3Q22, and €10m in 9M22, benefiting from a more mature credit portfolio, coupled with cross-selling initiatives.



During the last quarter, our corporate venture arm continued very active, investing c.€20m in portfolio expansion and follow-ons.
Two new companies in the Retail Tech segment were added to the portfolio and relevant financing rounds occurred in some portfolio companies, including a \$28.7m series B financing round at Iriusrisk, a \$7.1m series A financing round at Didimo and a €7.7m series A financing round at Probe.ly. Bright Pixel participated in all these rounds, reinforcing its investment and improving the value of its previous stakes. At the end of 9M22, the cash invested in the active portfolio reached €192m, +12.0% QoQ and +14.5% vs YE21.
On the exit side and during 3Q22, Bright Pixel received cash proceeds of €23.5m from the sale of its minority stake in Cellwize. Already in October, with cash impacts in 4Q22, the company concluded the sale of Maxive, and its subsidiaries S21sec and Excellium, to Thales Europe (with a capital gain of €64.8m).
Overall, active NAV stood at €457m at the end of 9M22, implying +9.8% QoQ and +15.8% vs YE21, which clearly reflects the impact of the recent acquisitions, as well as the positive evolution in the value of its historical investments.


NOS published its 3Q22 results on October 24th. This was another quarter of positive operational performance, with the growth of the Telco business and the continued improvement from the cinema's activity.
3Q22 turnover increased 4.1% yoy to €381.5m, with Telco +3.0% and Media & Entertainment +22.8%, totalling €1.1bn at the end of 9M22 (+7.5% yoy). Regarding profitability, 3Q22 EBITDA grew 3.9% yoy to €178m, with +5.1% yoy in the telco business and totalling €500m in the 9M22, +€22m yoy with a 44.5% margin. This positive operational performance, combined with a capital gain of €74.7m from the sale of an additional portfolio of towers to Cellnex, as agreed and announced in April 2022, led Net income to more than double in 3Q22 vs last year, to €106m. This implied an equity method contribution to Sonae's results of €25m in the quarter (+€14m vs last year) and reaching €44m in 9M22.
Total capex stood at €120m in 3Q22 impacted by NOS' 5G deployment programme and its FttH3 network expansion.
FCF (ex-dividend, financial investments and own shares) was strongly impacted by the cash proceeds from the sale of the towers, achieving €149m in 3Q22 and €184m in 9M22, showing a very positive yoy performance.
Finally, regarding the capital structure, after the above-mentioned cash-in from
the towers' sale, net financial debt/EBITDA after lease payments stood at 1.85x, slightly below NOS's target. The all-in average cost of debt stood in line with last year (1.3%) and the average maturity profile stood at 2.5 years at the end of the period.
In the L3M 22 (May-Jul), ISRG continued to show encouraging signs across all brands and channels, with a sound operational performance in the period, despite the challenging macroeconomic context still marked by several supply chain disruptions that have been affecting the sector.
In these three months, total sales registered a double-digit increase of 41.5% yoy to €321m, fuelled by both the organic operations (+11% yoy) and the recently acquired businesses. Overall, in the L9M 22 total sales reached €938m, +58.9% yoy. The online channel continues to be an important growth avenue, reaching almost 19% of total sales in the L9M 22 (vs 13% in the L9M 21), mainly driven by the Deporvillage's acquisition in 2021.
In terms of profitability, yoy EBITDA increased by €8.5m in the quarter and by €26.3m in the L9M 22 to €94m, driven by the strong sales performance and operating leverage.
All in all, ISRG's performance resulted in an equity method contribution to Sonae's results of €3.1m in the 3Q22 and €11.4m in the 9M22 (+€1.5m yoy).

4 Due to calendar reporting dates of JD Sports (the main shareholder of the JV), ISRG figures for the L9M 22 ended last July 30th.
Finally, and as already announced in mid-October, ISRG acquired an additional stake of 18% in Deporvillage from its co-founders for €19.8m, holding now 98% of the company. We recall that Deporvillage is a pure online retailer and has been giving to ISRG additional depth and expertise in key categories such as cycling, running and outdoor, while increasing the group's digital capabilities and complementing the current developments on its existing banners.

SONAE, SGPS, S.A. ("Sonae Holding") has its head-office at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Apartado 1011, 4470-909 Maia, Portugal, and is the parent company of a group of companies. Sonae's operations and operating segments are described in Note 4.
Shares representing the share capital of Sonae, SGPS, S.A. are listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock exchange. At 30 September 2022, Sonae, SGPS, S.A. is majority owned by Pareuro BV and Efanor Investimentos SGPS, S.E., the latter being the ultimate controlling company.
The principal accounting policies adopted in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements are described below. These policies have been consistently applied in comparative periods.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee ("SIC"), as adopted by the European Union as from the consolidated financial statements issuance date.
Interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented quarterly, in accordance with IAS 34 – "Interim Financial Reporting". As such, they do not include all the information to be disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the previous year.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and accounting records of the company and subsidiaries, adjusted in the consolidation process, on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for some financial instruments and properties investments which are stated at fair value.
Up to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, the European Union endorsed the following standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions some of which become mandatory during the year 2022:
| Standards (new and amendments) effective as at 1 January 2022 |
Changes | Effective date (for financial years beginning on or after) |
|---|---|---|
| IAS 16 – Proceeds before intended use | Prohibition of deducting the proceeds obtained from the sale of items produced during the testing phase, to the acquisition cost of property, plant and equipment. |
01 Jan 2022 |
| IAS 37 – Onerous contract – cost of fulfilling a contract |
Clarification about the nature of the expenses to be considered in determining whether a particular contract has become onerous. |

| IFRS 17 – Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information |
This amendment allows to avoid temporary accounting mismatches between financial assets and insurance contract liabilities in the comparative information presented, when first applying IFRS 17. This amendment allows the application of a classification overlay to a financial asset for which the entity does not restate IFRS 9 comparative information. |
01 Jan 2023 |

In the period ended on 30 September 2022, the change in the value of the proportion of equity in Armilar III Fund is essentially related to the distribution of capital made following the sale of a stake held by that fund.
In the third quarter of 2022, Sonaecom has proceeded with the resolution of the Shareholders' Agreement that governed the relations between the shareholders of ZOPT, SGPS, S.A. – Sonaecom (itself), Unitel International Holdings, BV and Kento Holding Limited. At the General Meeting of ZOPT, held on the 28th of September 2022, it was decided to proceed with the amortization of Sonaecom's position in that company, and refund of additional payments made by Sonaecom, for a consideration that includes the delivery of shares representing 26.07% of the share capital of NOS, that are not encumbered, and other net monetary means.
By virtue of that decision, Sonaecom is no longer shareholder of ZOPT, and now holds a direct participation of 26.07% of the share capital of NOS. This operation is subject to deadlines and legal constraints – namely those associated with the protection of the creditors of the company in question, ZOPT, and the notification of the operation to the Competition Authority – however, the Board of Directors
is convinced that there will be no opposition to the transaction. This way, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, the operation is already reflected in the financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2022.
Since its inception, the sole purpose of ZOPT was the ownership and management of the position in NOS and the execution of the shareholder agreement between the partners that established joint control, thus the company did not have other operational activity. Given the merely instrumental character of ZOPT, in what concerns NOS ownership, in substance, after the resolution of the shareholder agreement above mentioned, Sonaecom ceased to hold joint control on NOS and began to exercise significant influence over this subsidiary. In this case and according to IAS 28, as there was no change in the remeasurement method neither on Sonaecom's consolidated perimeter, there was no need to a remeasurement of the investment to the fair value in the consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2022. After this date, the value of the investment held in NOS will be measured by applying the equity method. The investment held by the Sonae Group, recorded as an asset at fair value for other comprehensive income related to the direct holding in NOS, accordingly with IAS 28, was also reclassified to investment in associates, with Sonae Group now holding 36.8% of shares representing the share capital of NOS.
In 2022, the Group reinforced the position at NOS through the acquisition of shares representing 3.4% of the share capital of NOS, for the amount of 64 million euro. According to IAS 28, the investment in this subsidiary was reclassified to investments in associates (Note 10).
The consolidated financial information of NOS, used to apply the equity method, includes adjustments arising from the allocation of prices to assets and liabilities identified in the 2013 merger operation.
In the period ended September 30, 2022, it was understood that the assumptions made in the impairment tests carried out in 2021 did not have relevant variations.
Regarding the financial holdings of NOS in Finstar and ZAP Media (Finstar consolidated), the Board of Directors of NOS believes that the arresting of assets to Mrs. Isabel dos Santos, in the specific case of the position held by her in Finstar and ZAP Media (where she holds 70% of the capital) does not change the control profile, in this case joint control as defined in IFRS 11.
On January 2022, the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) with the National Asset Recovery Service of the OPG, representing the Angolan State, requested, at the District Court of Luanda, i) the replacement of the current trustees of the companies Finstar and ZAP Media (current Boards of Directors of the companies) by the Ministry of Telecommunications, Information Technologies and Social Communication (MTTICS), as well as, ii) the inhibition of voting rights by Mrs. Isabel dos Santos, requests that the Court granted. The parties are now awaiting the final and unappealable decision and the developments of this decision, in order to understand the impacts on business management. The Board of Directors of NOS is currently convinced - based on the statements that have been made by the new trustee, MTTICS - that the activity of the companies will continue to develop normally.
The evolution in provisions occurred during the first 9 months of 2022 compared to 31 December 2021 was as follows:
Legal actions with regulators and Competition Authority ("Autoridade da Concorrência" – AdC)
NOS S.A., NOS Açores and NOS Madeira brought actions for judicial review of ANACOM's decisions in respect of the payment of the Annual Fee of Activity (for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021) as Electronic Communications Services Networks Supplier, and furthermore the refund of the amounts that meanwhile were paid within the scope of the mentioned acts of settlement was requested.

During 2003 to 2022 financial years, some companies of the NOS Group were the subject of tax inspections for the 2001 to 2020 financial years. Following these inspections, NOS SGPS, S.A., as the controlling company of the Tax Group, and companies not covered by Tax Group, were notified of the corrections made to the Group's tax losses, to VAT and stamp tax and to make the payments related to the corrections made to the above exercises. The total amount of the notifications unpaid is about 36 million euro, added interest, and charges. These settlement notes, which totally were contested, are the respective lawsuits in progress.
After the judgment was carried out, in May 2022, the court partially accepted NOS, condemning MEO to pay 7.9 million euro, a decision contested by MEO and NOS through the presentation of appeals in October 2022. It is understanding of the Board of Directors, corroborated by attorneys accompanying the process, that it is, in formal and substantive terms, likely that NOS S.A. will be able to win the lawsuit, due to MEO already having been convicted for the same offences by ANACOM.
After the discussion and judgment sessions were held in May 2022, the parties are now awaiting the court's decision. It is the conviction of the Board of Directors that the arguments used by the authors are unfounded, which is why it is believed that the outcome of the process should not result in significant impacts on the Group's financial statements.
On 30 September 2022, accounts receivable and accounts payable include 37,139,253 euro and 43,475,093 euro, respectively, resulting from a dispute between the subsidiary NOS S.A. and, essentially, the operator MEO – Serviços de Comunicação e Multimédia, S.A. (previously named TMN – Telecomunicações Móveis Nacionais, S.A.), in relation to the non-definition of interconnection tariffs of 2001. In what concerns to that dispute with MEO, the result was totally favorable to NOS S.A., having already become final.

In the Management Report, and for the purposes of calculating financial indicators as EBIT, EBITDA and Underlying EBITDA the consolidated income statement is divided between Direct Income and Indirect Income.
The Indirect Income includes the contribution of Sierra, net of taxes that result from: (i) valuation of investment properties; (ii) gains (losses) with the sale of financial investments, joint ventures or associates; (iii) impairment losses relating to non-current assets (including Goodwill) and (iv) provisions for assets at risk. Additionally and with regard to the portfolio of Sonae, it includes: (i) impairment of real estate assets for retail, (ii) decreases in Goodwill, (iii) negative Goodwill (net of taxes) related to acquisitions in the financial year, (iv) provisions (net of tax) for possible future liabilities, and impairments related to noncore investments, businesses and discontinued assets (or to be discontinued / repositioned), (v) valuation results based on the methodology "mark-to-market" of other current investments that will be sold or traded in the near future and (vi) other irrelevant issues.
The value of EBITDA, Underlying EBITDA and EBIT are calculated in the direct income component, i.e. excluding the indirect contributions.
The reconciliation between the two presentation formats for the consolidated income statement for the periods ended 30 September 2022 and 2021 can be summarized as follows:
