Following the difficulties faced during 4Q18, and despite not fully recovering momentum at our fully owned businesses, during the first quarter of 2019 we were able to improve Recurrent EBITDA and revert to positive net results reaching a profit of circa 1.2 million euros, after a net loss in 4Q18 due to a number of one off adjustments particularly in the Sonae Arauco accounts.
Considering our 50% share of Sonae Arauco's figures, LTM Proportional Recurrent EBITDA1 reached 71 million euros and the leverage ratio3 was of 4.5x.
However, notwithstanding the net profit achieved in the quarter, we continued to face challenges particularly in our fully owned businesses.
In our North American business, despite an improvement in Recurrent EBITDA when compared with 4Q18, we were still affected by high variable costs, particularly due to materially higher input wood prices, high thermal energy costs and still high maintenance costs in all cases negatively affected by extremely cold weather in January and February, a factor which also limited production efficiency and availability. On the other hand, although sales volumes in the quarter were still conditioned by the lower than desired production and inventory levels, it should be noted that volumes have increased when compared with 4Q18 with further room for improvement as the negative effects of the extreme weather and November fire are dissipated. On a more positive note, our North American business continued to improve its sales mix in alignment with our strategic guidelines, with decorative products steadily increasing their weight particularly with our high end EIR decorative offer, today complemented with our matching Surforma® Laminates produced in Portugal.
Profitability at our Laminates & Components business continued to suffer from shortfall of sales volumes notwithstanding the fact that Turnover was higher than last year. However, on a positive note, good progress is being made on the development of the strategic project between our Laminates and North America businesses with the sales ramp up evolving favorably. This strategic project, together with several actions currently under implementation at commercial and operational levels should provide us the base to begin recovering the desired profitability for this business.
Results at Sonae Arauco improved during the quarter generating a better Recurrent EBITDA when compared with the two previous quarters, despite enduring competitive tensions in Iberia and sluggish market demand in South Africa. Sonae Arauco made a positive contribution to Sonae Indústria's net results in the quarter, after the negative one off effects in 4Q18. In terms of commercial initiatives, I would like to highlight that in April we launched our new Innovus decorative collection including matching laminates. The 2019 Innovus collection, which will be presented at Interzum (Cologne, Germany) in May, includes the introduction of a significant number of new textures and colours and a simplified and improved service proposition further strengthening our decorative solutions offer.

1 Figures without the effects from the adoption of the IFRS 16, effective from 1 January 2019. See note related with the adoption of IFRS 16 in consolidated results section (page 5).

Due to the fact that one of Sonae Indústria's main assets (its 50% shareholding in Sonae Arauco) is accounted by the Equity method, this section 1.1. provides unaudited Proportional Indicators, which consider the full results of our wholly owned businesses and the proportional consolidation of the 50% contribution from Sonae Arauco.
For comparative purposes, Proportional Results section (1.1) excludes effects from the adoption of the IFRS 16 in 2019 (meaning all indicators for 1Q19 are like for like those presented for 1Q18).

Proportional Turnover in 1Q19 was circa 6.5 million euros higher than in the same period of last year. This evolution was driven by an higher contribution from our fully owned businesses (circa 2.5 million euros), due to a favourable exchange rate effect (of circa 1.5 million euros) resulting from the appreciation of the Canadian dollar vs. the EUR and to an increase in average selling prices y.o.y. of the North American business, and by a circa 4.0 million euros improvement in Sonae Arauco contribution due to higher sales volumes.
Calculated as described in the Glossary of Terms. This compares with a Consensus 'Asset Value' of EUR 443M based on the average of the sum of the parts valuation (as at year-end 2019) of Sonae Indústria assets carried out by two independent equity research houses.

Figures (including 1Q19) without the effects from the adoption of the IFRS 16, effective from 1 January 2019. See note related with the adoption of IFRS 16 in consolidated results section (page 5).
Proportional Recurrent EBITDA in 1Q19 (excluding IFRS 16 effects) reached circa 15.9 milion euros, circa 2.9 million euros lower than in 1Q18 driven by a lower contribution from both fully owned businesses and by Sonae Arauco, but higher than 4Q18 by circa 2.1 million euros.
In the first quarter of the year, Net Debt to Recurrent EBITDA (proportional) stood at circa 4.5x (excluding IFRS 16 effects), which represents an increase of 0.7x vs. 1Q18. During 1Q19 Sonae Arauco received the full amount of insurance compensation outstanding at the end of 2018 (circa 32 million euros). Loan to Value also increased when compared to 1Q18, reaching circa 48% (excluding IFRS 16 effects) at the end of 1Q19.

Note IFRS 16: The mandatory adoption of the IFRS 16 from the beginning of 2019 financial year, affects the comparability of Sonae Indústria's results in 2019 with previous years. This new accounting standard on leases implies that lease contracts (except short term and low value leases) previously classified as operational leases, are now recognized in the balance sheet as an asset with a corresponding liability equal to the present value of the lease payments (under financial liabilities). This new treatment also affects the consolidated income statement, with corresponding rental or lease charges being replaced by the recognition of depreciation charges and interest expense.

TURNOVER and RECURRENT EBITDA
MILLION EUROS

*Quarterly information unaudited.
Consolidated Turnover for the first quarter of the year reached circa 56.8 million euros, an improvement of 4.5% vs. same period of last year (circa +2.5 million euros), driven by circa 1.5 million euros favourable exchange rate effect resulting from the appreciation of the Canadian dollar vs. the EUR but also by an increase in average selling prices y.o.y. in our North American business. When compared to the previous quarter, consolidated turnover increased by circa 5.5 million euros driven by our North American business, with higher sales volumes and average selling prices, but also by our Laminates & Components business.
Variable costs per cubic meter in local currency increased, when compared to the same period of last year, with an increase in most input costs. When compared to 4Q18, variable costs per cubic meter also increased, mainly driven by higher costs of wood (affected by higher transportation costs).
Recurrent EBITDA for the first quarter of the year reached circa 4.8 million euros (including a positive effect from the adoption of the IFRS 16 of 0.6 million euros), a reduction of 1.0 million euros euros vs. 1Q18. The lower Recurrent EBITDA, despite the increase in turnover as aforementioned, when compared to the previous year, is mainly explained by an increase in operational costs, particularly in variable costs as explained above. When compared to 4Q18 Recurrent EBITDA increased circa 0.8 million euros. The 1Q19 Recurrent EBITDA margin reached 8.4%, down by circa 2.3 p.p. vs. 1Q18, but up by 0.6 p.p. vs. 4Q18.
Consolidated EBITDA for the quarter reached 4.6 million euros, a reduction of 1.1 million euros vs. the same period of last year, mainly due to the aforementioned evolution in Recurrent EBITDA, and a reduction of 2.5 million euros vs. the previous quarter, noting that 4Q18 benefited from a capital gain of circa 3.2 million euros as a result of the sale of Solsona inactive site real estate.

Total fixed costs for the first quarter of the year represented circa 16.9% of turnover, in line with the values booked for 1Q18 and a decrease of 2.0 p.p. vs. 4Q18, driven by both an increase in turnover and a reduction in fixed costs (which includes lower lease rents as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16).
Total headcount of Sonae Indústria was 499 FTE's, at the end of March 2019, excluding Sonae Arauco, which compares with 495 and 485 FTE's at the end of December 2018 and March 2018, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization charges in 1Q19 were 3.9 million euros, which represents an increase of circa 0.8 million euros and 0.5 million euros vs. 1Q18 and 4Q18, respectively, mainly due to the impact of circa 0.5 million euros of the adoption of the IRFS 16.
Net financial charges during 1Q19 were circa 2.9 million euros, an increase of circa 0.1 million euros when compared to 1Q18 and a reduction of circa 0.2 million euros vs. 4Q18. 1Q19 figures include a marginally negative effect due to the adoption of the IFRS 16 (circa 0.1 million euros).

Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Results refers to 50% of the net results of Sonae Arauco in the period. For the first quarter of the year, this amounted to circa 3.4 million euros, a reduction of 1.3 million euros when compared to 1Q18, despite the increase in turnover. It should be noted that 1Q18 included higher insurance income recognition related to the fires that affected two Sonae Arauco plants in Portugal in October 2017. When compared to 4Q18, Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Results increased 12.9 million euros, noting that 4Q18 included (considering the 50% contribution) one off negative effects (namely full impairment of the accounting values of its investment (including a loan) in the joint venture LaminatePark (circa 8 million euros) and impairment of the accounting value of tangible assets (circa 3.5 million euros)).
Current tax charges were circa 0.5 million euros for the first quarter of the year, a decrease of 0.6 million euros when compared to 1Q18, mainly driven by lower tax charges in Canada.
Net results in 1Q19 were positive of circa 1.2 million euros, a reduction of 2.6 million euros when compared to 1Q18, mainly explained by the aforementioned reduction in EBITDA and in Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Results. Net Results have improved materially when compared to 4Q18, mainly due Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Results which were affected by a number of negative non recurrent items in 4Q18.

The board of directors

(Amounts expressed in euros)
SONAE INDÚSTRIA, SGPS, SA has its head-office at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, 4470-177 Maia, Portugal.
The shares of the company are listed on Euronext Lisbon.
Consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018 were not subject to a limited revision carried out by the company's statutory external auditor.
This set of consolidated financial statement has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies that were disclosed on the notes to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2018.

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. As such, they do not include all the information which should be included in annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2018.
These consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and with Interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRS IC), effective from 1 January 2019 and endorsed by the European Union.
2.2.1. In the period ended 31 March 2019, the following standards and interpretations, which had been endorsed by the European Union, became effective:
IAS 19 (amendment), Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). If a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement. In addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling;
IAS 28 (amendment), Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The amendment clarifies that long-term investments in associates and joint ventures (components of an entity's investments in associates and joint ventures), that are not being measured through the equity method, are to be measured in accordance with IFRS 9, being subject to

impairment expected credit loss model prior to any impairment test of the investment as a whole;
Annual Improvement 2015 – 2017, (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The 2015-2017 annual improvements affects: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11.
The application of these amendments to the standards from 1 January 2019 did not have significant effects on these consolidated financial statements.
2.2.2. At 31 March 2019, the following standards, effective 1 January 2019 or later, had been issued by IASB but still had not been endorsed by the European Union:
IAS 1 and IAS 8 (amendment), Definition of Material (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. Under this amendment, information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the user of financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements;
IFRS 3 (amendment), Business Combinations (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment clarifies that to be considered a business combination, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs;
IFRS 17 (new), Insurance contracts (effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2021). This standard is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This standard will revoke IFRS 4 – Insurance contracts and applies to all entities issuing insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation characteristics. IFRS 17 is based on the current measurement of technical liabilities at each reporting date. The current measurement can be based on a complete "building block approach" or

"premium allocation approach". The recognition of the technical margin is different depending on whether it is positive or negative. IFRS 17 is of retrospective application;
Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This amendment contains changes to several standards, whose references to the Conceptual Framework have been updated.
The Company does not estimate any significant effect to arise from the application of these standards.

The comparability of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 March 2019, 31 December 2018 and 31 March 2018 was affected by the application of IFRS 16 – Leases from 1 January 2019. Under this new standard, leases previously classified as operating leases are stated as Tangible fixed assets and Lease creditors, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, excepting lowvalue and short-term leases, for which no change in accounting took place.
Liabilities recognized under Lease creditors correspond to the present value at 1 January 2019 of the remaining lease payments of contracts which had been classified as operating leases under IAS 17 and which are not low-value or

short-term leases in accordance with IFRS 16. The corresponding right-of-use asset was recognized for the same amount under Tangible fixed assets, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and is detailed on note 7 in accordance with the nature of the underlying assets.
If this standard had not been applied on the said date, the consolidated financial statements at 31 March 2019 would be stated as follows:

In October 2017, industrial plants of Mangualde and Oliveira do Hospital, which are controlled by Sonae Arauco, S. A., a company 50%-owned by Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S. A., were hit by wild fires that affected central Portugal. As a consequence, the wood yards, the exposed equipment within the wood yards and the electrical and cabling systems were significantly damaged, forcing these plants to stop operating.
In the first half of 2018, both industrial plants resumed normal activity.
These plants are subject to an insurance policy that will indemnify them for property damage and business interruption losses.
In the period ended 31 March 2019, Sonae Arauco was paid the last portion of the insurance compensation agreed with the insurers, which amounted to EUR 32 005 488. The total insurance compensation paid amounted to EUR 76 677 048. The corresponding gain was recognized in the consolidated accounts of Sonae Arauco of 2017 (EUR 16 940 254), 2018 (EUR 56 098 220) and 2019 (EUR 3 638 574).
The consolidated net profit of Sonae Arauco Group is recognized using the equity method in the Consolidated Income Statement for 50% of its amount, under Gains and losses in joint ventures, which therefore include 50% of the abovementioned effects, in each of the said periods.

Former subsidiary Sonae Arauco Deutschland GmbH (formerly Glunz AG) and other German producers of wood-based panels are involved in certain litigation procedures filed by some customers for damages resulting from alleged breaches of competition law, after which former subsidiaries Sonae Arauco Deutschland GmbH (formerly Glunz AG) and GHP GmbH received, in March 2010, a statement of objections from the German Competition Authority. Some of these processes were resolved during the years 2015 and 2018 and their respective effects were recognized on the individual financial statements of each company and on the consolidated financial statements of the joint venture Sonae Arauco, S. A. (in which perimeter of consolidation these former subsidiaries are included) for the respective periods. For the cases still in progress, the complaints submitted specifically to the former subsidiaries Sonae Arauco Deutschland GmbH (formerly Glunz AG) and GHP GmbH amount to a maximum contingency (based on the claimed values) of EUR 31.5 million. Regarding other cases in which these former subsidiaries are jointly involved with other German producers, the maximum contingency amounted to EUR 26 million at 31 March 2019. According to the opinion of these former subsidiaries' lawyers, at the closing date of these consolidated financial statements, it is not possible to reliably estimate the outcome of the remaining proceedings in progress or the amount of any payments that may be established. Under the terms of the agreement for the subscription of Sonae Arauco, S. A. shares, entered into in 2015 by Sonae Arauco, S. A., Sonae Indústria SGPS S. A. and the Arauco Group, Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S. A. assumes the obligation to compensate Sonae Arauco, S. A. for any losses resulting from these proceedings.
Darbo SAS, a former subsidiary of Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S.A located in France, was sold on 3 July 2015 to a subsidiary of Gramax Capital and was excluded from the Group's consolidated financial statements on that date. This company's insolvency was requested at the Trade Court of Dax, in France, in September 2016, and was declared by that court to be liquidated, in October of that year.
Following that case, 110 former employees of Darbo filed various lawsuits with the Labour Court of Dax, in France, against, among others, Sonae Indústria, SGPS, SA and Gramax Capital, through which they claim compensation for

alleged dismissal without fair reason, for a total amount of EUR 13 653 917.28. The same former employees also filed a lawsuit at the Civil Court of Dax against the seller and buyer companies and against Sonae Indústria, SGPS, SA, through which they claim annulment of the sale of Darbo SAS and the payment of compensation for alleged damages suffered, in the same amount claimed before the Labour Court of Dax (EUR 13 653 917.28). At the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, legal proceedings are under way and it is not possible to predict whether the outcome will result in any obligation to be recognized under the consolidated liabilities of Sonae Indústria Group.
These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance 8 May 2019.
