Maia, 17th May 2022

Sonae had a great start to 2022. As our businesses continued to succeed in their respective markets, the group maintained a steady growth path, with improved levels of profitability, which ultimately led to a more valuable portfolio.
In the first quarter of the year, Sonae was able to deliver a very positive set of results with a top line growth of 5% yoy to €1.7 billion, and an EBITDA increase of 17% yoy to €149m. Our consolidated performance, together with our active portfolio management activity, generated €627m of free cash flow over the last 12 months, implying a significant net debt decrease of approximately €600m. Our portfolio of investments continued to increase in value, with NAV reaching €4.1bn, €65m above the 2021 year-end figure. These results were accomplished in a very challenging context, marked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Although Sonae has no direct material exposure to these countries, our businesses have already felt the indirect ripples of this conflict, namely from higher energy prices, overall inflation and supply chain constraints, but have been able to fend off these headwinds.
I would like to thank our employees for their continuous efforts and ability to overcome new challenges. As we are witnessing an increasingly volatile relationship between companies and employees around the World, I am delighted to see that our people are proud of Sonae's values and ethical standards and feel motivated to develop their careers with us. I would also like to express my gratitude to all other stakeholders, including our shareholders to whom we distributed a dividend of 5.11 euro cents per share on May 17th, corresponding to a 5% yoy increase and a dividend yield of 5.1%1 , as approved in our Shareholders' Meeting.
Going forward, we will remain focused on serving our customers across all markets and on future-proofing our portfolio of investments. Regardless of how the global economy and financial markets evolve, our group of companies, solid financial situation and skilful teams position us well to manage through this cycle of uncertainty, continue to reinforce our competitive positions and capture the opportunities that lie ahead.

Sonae's NAV is based on market references, such as trading multiples of comparable peers, external valuations, funding rounds and market capitalisations. Valuations methods and details per business unit are available in Sonae's Investor Kit at www.sonae.pt.
Sonae's NAV amounted to €4.1bn at the end of the 1Q22, slightly above (+1.6%) the figure at the end of 2021.
During the last 3 months, Sonae acquired an additional 10% of Sierra for €83.5m, now holding 90% of the company and Bright Pixel sold its stakes in SafetyPay and ciValue with a total cash realized of c.€40m. Considering the last 12 months, Sonae had a very active portfolio management activity, namely the sale of 24.99% of MC to CVC funds for €528m, the acquisition of 95.4% of Gosh Food, a reference UK player in the plant-based food sector, the sale of MC's 50% stake in Maxmat and the agreement reached by Universo to sell its 50% stake in MDS for €100m (which conclusion is pending required regulatory approvals).
In terms of operational performance and given the demanding comparable of the 1Q21 with a pandemic context and a lockdown in Portugal, consolidated turnover delivered a solid and positive performance with a 5% yoy increase to €1.7bn. 1Q22 underlying EBITDA improved 10% yoy to €121m, mainly anchored by the recovery of our fashion business. This positive operational performance, coupled with the continued recovery of our equity accounted businesses, as well as some capital gains from portfolio transactions, led to a Direct result of €42m at the end of the 1Q22, well above last year figure. Indirect result stood at €9m and Sonae's Net result (group share) reached €42m, showing a significant improvement versus 1Q21.

In terms of operational cash flow, Sonae's portfolio generated €90m over the last 12 months, a significant yoy reduction related to a change in the retail working capital given the later Easter period in 2022 that resulted in a higher inventory level at the end of the 1Q22, and the increase of the operational investment activity at our businesses.
In what regards the portfolio management activity, Sonae invested €220m and received €693m of cash proceeds from asset sales mainly related with the minority stake sale in MC and the sale of the 50% stake in Maxmat. During the last three months, the most relevant portfolio movement was the acquisition of the 10% stake in Sierra for €83.5m.
All in all, Sonae's FCF (before dividends paid) in the last 12
months stood at €627m, which after the dividend payment, led to an almost €600m decrease in the consolidated net debt, to €931m at the end of the 1Q22. The group's capital structure remains robust with very comfortable leverage ratios and liquidity levels. At the end of 1Q22, Sonae held c.€1,150m of available liquidity (cash and available credit facilities), maintained a low cost of debt (less than 1.0%), improved the debt maturity profile to almost 5 years and reached 65% of the total long-term facilities linked to sustainable, green or ESG performance.

The first quarter of 2022 started with good prospects as the pandemic had entered in an endemic phase. However, since mid-February the conflict in Ukraine has been hampering consumer confidence and bringing some additional challenges to each business of our portfolio. It should be noted that, for comparison purposes, the 1Q21 was characterized by a pandemic wave with severe limitations, including lockdowns in some geographies.

Despite the challenging economic context, the unfavourable Easter calendar and the demanding comparable basis, MC delivered a solid set of results in 1Q22, continuing to gain market share on the back of strengthened customer perception levels.
Total turnover grew by 3.8% yoy with a 2.2% LfL figure, mainly fuelled by the nonfood formats which overcame prior year lockdown restrictions and captured the rebound of out-of-home consumption, as well as food inflation that reached 5% in the 1Q22. This solid performance was particularly positive given the macroeconomic and trade environment, especially since mid-February with the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
Online sales doubled versus pre-pandemic levels, reaching 3.2% of total turnover in the 1Q22, in a path of natural consolidation from the exceptional high rates over the last two years.
Capex in the period stood at €26m, slightly below the 1Q21 figure, mainly related with store network refurbishments and also new store openings that will materialize progressively along the year.
In terms of profitability, MC's positive sales performance contributed to an improved underlying EBITDA level (+1.5% yoy), with a broadly stable margin, despite being penalized by additional cost pressures of specific inputs, such as energy.


The company's financial net debt reduced by €87m when compared to 1Q21, to €466m at the end of the 1Q22, and total net debt to underlying EBITDA ratio stood at 2.9x, which continues to represent a solid capital structure.

After two consecutive years growing significantly, the electronics market in Portugal contracted in 1Q22, mainly due to the 1Q21 pandemic context, that strongly benefited the online channel and pushed for IT-related product sales, and to a milder winter, that limited demand for seasonal categories. This unfavourable electronics market context, combined with the effect of closing stores in Spain Mainland by the end of 1Q21, contributed to a top line decrease of -4.1% to €261m in the 1Q22 (contrasting with the +29.3% LfL growth reported in 1Q21).
Worten's top line performance reflects these effects, that were yet partially offset by a very positive performance of all new non-electronics product categories and service sales, such as repairs, extended warranties and insurances. Overall, despite the challenging context, Worten demonstrated the strength of its value proposition as an omnichannel player in the Iberian market, maintaining a leading market position across channels.
Regarding profitability, notwithstanding the improved margin mix, total sales erosion and operational cost increases, that were impacted by higher energy costs and the continued investment in the company digital transformation, led underlying EBITDA to contract yoy to €13m with a margin of 5.1% at the end of the 1Q22.
For Sierra, the beginning of 2022 has showed good signs of recovery. After two challenging years following the pandemic that imposed several weeks of shopping centre closures, Sierra has been able to witness improvements across its operational key performance indicators, which continued to converge to prepandemic levels.
In fact, Sierra's European portfolio registered a higher occupancy rate of 96.9% (+0.6pp yoy) and total tenant sales increased more than 90% yoy (LfL) until the end of the 1Q22, showing a significant recovery in all countries, namely in Portugal, as in the 1Q21 shopping centres were closed during 2.5 months.
During the 1Q22 Sierra made significant progress in executing its strategy, namely by (i) signing new contracts in property and condominium management in new locations, (ii) making the first investments in the development of mixeduse assets, (iii) building a pipeline of new investment vehicles, and, (iv) reinforcing key team competences.
On a proportional accounting basis, and since the company does not appraise its assets in Q1, total Net Result reached €9.8m at the end of the 1Q22, +€6.6m when compared to 1Q21. This bottom line improvement was mainly due to the Direct result increase from €4.6m to €10.8m, fuelled by all the business areas, especially the European shopping centre portfolio.
At the end of 1Q22, Sierra's NAV, according to INREV methodology, increased 5.1% vs YE21 to €972m, mainly due to the favourable impact of the FX change variation related to the appreciation of both the Brazilian Real and the Colombian Peso, coupled with the Net Result booked in the period.
Finally, and in what concerns the company's leverage profile, Sierra's gross loan-to-value stood at 45.3% at the end of 1Q22, -0.5pp when compared to YE21, once again in line with its targets.





For our fashion business, the 1Q22 was characterized by a clear recovery, as Zeitreel was able to return to 1Q19 sales levels, after two very difficult years for the fashion industry marked by the pandemic restrictions.
This top line performance was particularly positive considering several challenges witnessed during these initial months of 2022, notably (i) the postponement of the sales period in Portugal, coupled with still some pandemic control measures, (ii) supply chain pressure due to the strike of the Spanish professional truck drivers following the increase in the fuel price, and (iii) the significant drop in consumer confidence since the last week of February with the beginning of the war in Ukraine.
Under this challenging context, Zeitreel was able to close this 1Q with €96m of total turnover, +57% yoy when compared to 1Q21 (LfL of +88%), showing a solid recovery across all brands and key channels.
In terms of profitability, Zeitreel delivered an underlying EBITDA of €6.1m in the 1Q22, a significant improvement of €10m from 1Q21, mainly due to the top line performance.
This is the first full year after the change of Universo's business model from a commission-based to an interest-driven one. These last 12 months have showed a positive evolution in the operational activity and financial results, which will continue in the next quarters. The phase-out of the previous business model is being naturally mitigated by a positive evolution of the credit backbook.
During the 1Q22, the macroeconomic recovery, on the back of the favourable evolution of the pandemic and despite the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, enabled Universo's production volume to increase by 23% yoy to €257m, with a positive contribution throughout several business lines, namely purchases, wire transfers, and personal loans.
The client base also continued to grow, with an increase of 96 thousand new customers vs. 1Q21, reaching c.989k at the end of 1Q22. The digital footprint also continued to be reinforced with digital clients weighing already 63% of the total customer base.
Regarding Universo's financial performance, turnover surpassed last year's results reaching €8m at the end of 1Q22 and underlying EBITDA continued to show an upward performance, with a yoy improvement of €1.8m.





Bright Pixel continues to be active in its portfolio management activity, namely through the (i) exit of ciValue and the cash distribution from Armilar Venture Partners, following the sale of Safetypay, representing circa €40m of cash return; and (ii) portfolio expansion with two new investments: Experify, the first platform to enable a truly authentic product review experience by connecting prospective buyers with purchasers, and Hackuity, an attack prevention cybersecurity startup.
Coupled with this portfolio activity, the company continued to invest in some companies, namely Cybersixgill, in a financing round of USD35m.
At the end of the 1Q22, cash invested in the active portfolio reached €159m and NAV stood at €378m, -4% below YE21, reflecting the asset sales in the period that more than offset the positive impact from new investments and the positive revaluation of some of its portfolio companies.


NOS published its 1Q22 results on May 3rd. In the 1Q22, NOS continued its strong recovery path after the lifting of pandemic restrictions and maintained its focus on leading the 5G digital revolution in Portugal.
In the 1Q22, turnover evolved positively with a 10.6% yoy increase, fuelled by all segments: the Media & Entertainment segment grew by 71.1% yoy (in the 1Q21 movie theatres were closed), and the telecom business grew 9.0% yoy, with positive contributions from mobile subscriptions, B2B service solutions and roaming revenues due to less travel restrictions.
Regarding profitability, EBITDA increased 4.8% yoy, benefiting from the top line performance, and margin stood at 42.7%. Net income increased 35% yoy to €41m at the end of 1Q22, leading to a higher equity method contribution to Sonae's results, from €6.9m to €8.9m.
FCF (ex-dividend, financial investments and own shares) totalled €4m, mainly driven by higher capex related to the 5G deployment programme and the FttH4 network expansion. In terms of capital structure, Net financial debt/EBITDA after lease payments stood at a conservative level of 1.96x.

For ISRG, the L3M 21 (Nov-Jan) was another quarter of recovery from the pandemic context, after several months with strong restrictions. Over the last three months of the company's fiscal year, a better environment led to an improved performance of store sales with more than 50% of yoy growth, which, together with the contribution from the new businesses (acquired during 2021), led total sales to grow c.66% yoy to €366m. The online channel increased its contribution from 15.7% to 21.1% of total revenues, largely driven by the acquisition of Deporvillage.
In terms of profitability, EBITDA increased 8.6% yoy to €34m, mainly fuelled by the sales performance which more than offset the negative impacts in the cost base from constraints in the supply chain.
All in all, ISRG's improved performance allowed for a higher equity method contribution to Sonae's results, with a positive value in the quarter of €7m.


5 Due to calendar reporting dates of JD Sports (the main shareholder of the JV), ISRG figures for the L3M 21 ended last January 29th.
Sonae SGPS, S.A. informs on Sonae MC 2021 Trading Statement
Sonaecom received a gross amount of €35.2m from Armilar Ventures Funds III, following the conclusion of the sale of Safetypay to Paysafe, which was pending some regulatory approvals.
Completion of the purchase of 10% of the share capital of Sierra held by Grosvenor Investments (Portugal) S.Àr.L, for the price of €83.5 million, which represents an implicit discount of c.10% over Sierra's NAV at the end of 2021, following the exercise by Grosvenor of its put option right. Following the completion of this transaction, Sonae now holds 90% of the share capital and voting rights in Sierra. The main impact of this transaction on the Group's consolidated financial statements will be the transfer of Reserves from "Non-Controlling Interests" to "Equity Holders of the Parent Company", since Sonae already holds a controlling shareholding in Sierra.
Sonae and MC IT systems were hacked as it was publicly announced by Sonae and the media. The immediate and efficient response from Sonae IT teams avoided significant disruptions to our operations. Apart from the Continente online store and other customer support apps, all stores continued to operate normally. After 10 days from the incident all systems were recovered and fully operational, and further security measures were implemented to mitigate the risk of new cyberattacks in the future.

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.

| 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. |
01 Jan 2022 |
| Annual Improvements 2018-2020 | Specific amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41. | 01 Jan 2022 |
| IFRS 3 – Reference to the Conceptual framework | Update to references to the Conceptual Framework and clarification on the registration of provisions and contingent liabilities within the scope of a business combination. |
01 Jan 2022 |

The value on the income statement related to ZOPT results from net income of NOS, the net income of ZOPT and the impact on results of the process of allocating the fair value to the assets and liabilities acquired by ZOPT.
On 31 March 2022, it was considered that the assumptions made in the impairment tests carried out in 2021 did not have significant variations.
With regard to ZOPT's financial participations in Finstar and ZAP Media (Finstar consolidated), the Board of Directors of NOS and ZOPT is certain that the patrimony seizure to Mrs. Isabel dos Santos, in the specific case of the shares 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.
In January 2022, the Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) with the National Asset Recovery Service of the OPG, representing the Angolan State, requested, at the Luanda District Court, 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 Isabel dos Santos, requests that the Court granted. 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.
On 4 April 2020, Sonaecom was informed by its subsidiary Zopt of the communication it received from the Central Criminal Investigation Court of Lisbon ('Cort') to proceed with the preventive seizure of 26.075% of NOS share capital, corresponding to half of the shareholding in NOS held by ZOPT and, indirectly, by the companies Unitel International Holdings, BV and Kento Holding Limited, controlled by

Mrs. Isabel dos Santos. Under the terms of that communication, the foreclosed shares (134,322,268.5 shares) would be deprived of the exercise of voting rights and the right to receive dividends, the latter of which should be deposited with Caixa Geral de Depósitos, S.A. at the order of the Court. The other half of Zopt's participation in NOS share capital, corresponding to an identical percentage of 26.075% - and which, at least in line with the criterion used by the Court, embodies the 50% held in ZOPT by Sonaecom - was not subject to seizure, nor the rights inherent to it have been subject to any limitation.
On 12 June 2020, ZOPT was notified of the order issued by the Lisbon Central Criminal Investigation Court, which authorizes it to exercise the voting right corresponding to the 26.075% of NOS share capital preemptively held to the order of that Court. This notification reinforces the understanding of the Boards of Directors of ZOPT and Sonaecom, according to which the conditions of control of ZOPT over NOS are fulfilled, and that that measure will have no material effect on the control of this company.
Still in June 2020, the Investigating Judge rejected the third-party embargoes deducted by ZOPT on the grounds of incompetence of the Portuguese courts to assess and decide, a decision that, having been appealed by Zopt, was revoked by the Court of Justice. Relationship, already in 2021. In a decision dated 25.11.2021, the investigating judge dismissed the objections and maintained the preventive seizure. ZOPT appealed against this decision to the Lisbon Court of Appeal.
On 19 August 2020, Sonaecom communicated the intention of the shareholders of ZOPT (Sonaecom, Unitel International Holdings, BV and Kento Holding Limited) to liquidate the company, maintaining Sonaecom as the reference shareholder of NOS. To date, the efforts to dissolve the ZOPT have not yet been carried out.
During 2020 and 2021, ZOPT was notified of a number of court decisions concerning the ZOPT shares held by KENTO and Unitel International Holdings and the respective right to receive dividends, specifically the following: (i) preventive preservation in case no. 210/20.4TELSB, of the Central Criminal Court, Single Section, concerning 32.65% of ZOPT's share capital held by Unitel International Holdings and 124,234,675 ZOPT shares held by KENTO, with the deprivation of the exercise of voting rights and the right to receive dividends; (ii) seizure decreed in process no. 14012/20.4T8PRT , by Judge 6 of the Central Civil Court of Póvoa de Varzim, over the shares of ZOPT held by Unitel International Holdings, with all the respective rights of patrimonial nature, including the right to receive dividends; (iii) pledge decreed in process no. 7418/21.3T8LSB, by Judge 2 of the Lisbon Execution Court, of 124,234,675 ZOPT shares held by Kento in ZOPT's capital and of the dividends of those shares; (iv) preservation decreed in process no. 17561/21.3T8LSB-A, by Judge 12 of the Lisbon Central Civil Court, over the ZOPT shares held by KENTO and Unitel International Holdings and over the dividends that have not yet been distributed or that may be deliberated. In relation to the pledge, identified in (iii), ZOPT was also notified by Caixa Geral de Depósitos (CGD), as the beneficiary of the pledge of the shares held by Kento in ZOPT, stating that it was vested with the power to exercise the voting rights attached to the Shares, and all other inherent rights, and that Kento was deprived of exercising such rights without the prior express written consent of CGD. It is the understanding of the ZOPT Board of Directors that, whenever the economic value of the shares is not at stake, CGD, as a pledging creditor of Kento, should act in accordance with Kento's instructions when exercising its voting rights, which means voting in the direction defined by Kento.
Despite the facts described above considering that, no steps have yet been taken to liquidation of ZOPT, that there has been no change in the board of directors of ZOPT and that decisions on the operating

activity of the investee company continue to be taken in accordance with what was being done, we concluded that the profile of joint control over the ZOPT has not changed.
The evolution in provisions occurred during the first 3 months of 2022 compared to 31 December 2021 was as follows:
NOS SA, 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.

• NOS Wholesale: 2020: 36 thousand euro and 2021: 110 thousand euro.
During the course of the 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, 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 37 million euro, added interest, and charges. These settlement notes, which totally were contested, are the respective lawsuits in progress.
At 31 March 2022, accounts receivable and accounts payable include 37,139,253 euros and 43,475,093 euros, respectively, resulting from a dispute between the subsidiary NOS SA 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 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 31 March 2022 and 2021 can be summarized as follows:
