ACTIVITY REPORT AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY – SEPTEMBER 2018

ACCORDING TO THE INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD 34 – INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

ACTIVITY REPORT

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

The third quarter was a very challenging quarter for us but I am pleased to report that we were able to deliver positive net results for Sonae Indústria leading to a net profit for the first nine months of the year of 22.6 Million Euros, above the same period of last year.

Although Recurrent EBITDA for 3Q18 of our fully owned businesses improved slightly compared to the previous quarter, Consolidated 9M18 Recurrent EBITDA remained below last year. This was mainly driven by our North American business that experienced certain production problems that have now been largely addressed, and higher variable costs, particularly transportation and energy costs. Results of our Laminates business were still impacted by the lower top line sales when compared to last year partially as a result of the loss of volumes that we expect to gradually recover in the next quarters, particularly from increased sales to North America.

At the International Woodworking Fair which took place in Atlanta (USA) during August, we presented our new and unique offer of perfect matching Laminates for our North American decorative MFC collection with HPL supplied from our plant in Portugal under a new brand "Surforma". We have witnessed an encouraging reaction from the market and believe this strategic project between our North American business and our Laminates business in Portugal will bring positive results for both units.

Sonae Arauco's 3Q18 results were significantly lower than the previous quarter. This is explained both by longer than expected shutdown periods for the annual maintenance in some of our European plants and by the challenges of reentering a softer market with the capacity from our two Portuguese plants affected by the forest fires. Results were also lower than the previous quarter due to lower insurance income recognition (down by circa 8 million Euros for our 50% share).

In respect of Sonae Arauco, consistent with our plans to create the conditions for a more competitive and sustainable business, we have completed the investment in the new continuous MDF press in Mangualde and started production in October. In addition, during 3Q18, Sonae Arauco completed a refinancing of its main credit facility which allows for an increase in the size of the facility and an extended maturity profile aiming to support the ongoing strategy execution.

Considering our 50% share of Sonae Arauco's figures, LTM Proportional Recurrent EBITDA was at 78.6 million Euros generating a 12.8% margin. Proportional Net Debt increased to 336 million euros due to the increase of Sonae Arauco's Net Debt which would have been materially lower if it was not for the significant amount of expected insurance compensation outstanding at the end of this period.

Finally, I would like to note the further reinforcement of Sonae Indústria capital structure in the quarter as a combined result of the increase in Shareholders' Funds and reduction in Net Debt.

Paulo Azevedo Chairman, Sonae Indústria

1.1. Proportional Results (unaudited)

SUMMARY OF 9M18 RESULTS

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, to help improve the understanding of size of the business, valuation and financial leverage of Sonae Indústria. Proportional Indicators consider the full results of our wholly owned businesses and the proportional consolidation of the 50% contribution from Sonae Arauco.

FINANCIAL INDICATORS (unaudited)

2 Calculated as described in the Glossary of Terms. This compares with a Consensus 'Asset Value' of EUR 522M based on the average of the sum of the parts valuation (as at year-end 2018) of Sonae Indústria assets carried out by two independent equity research houses.

Proportional Turnover in 9M18 was circa 17.5 million euros lower than in the same period of last year. This evolution was driven by a lower contribution from our fully owned businesses primarily due to the depreciation of the Canadian dollar, and by a circa 7.6 million euros lower contribution by Sonae Arauco which was affected by the fact that the two Sonae Arauco plants in Portugal that had been hit by the forest fires in October 2017, only gradually resumed production in the first four months of the current year (it should be noted that insurance income related with business interruption is not included under Turnover).

Proportional Recurrent EBITDA in 9M18 was circa 9.9 million euros lower than in the same period of last year. This evolution was driven by a lower contribution from our fully owned businesses and by Sonae Arauco.

For the first nine months of the year, Net Debt to Recurrent EBITDA (proportional) stood at circa 4.3x, which represents an increase of circa 0.7x vs. 9M17. Loan to Value also increased when compared to 9M17, reaching 52% at the end of 9M18. In respect of Net Debt to Recurrent EBITDA (proportional) and Assets Value it should be noted that Sonae Arauco's Net Debt in 3Q18 would be materially lower if it was not for the significant amount of expected insurance compensation outstanding at the end of this period: the cumulative amount of insurance compensation booked since 4Q17 is of circa 60.6 million euros (below expected total claim) which

SONAE INDÚSTRIA ACTIVITY REPORT - 9 MONTHS 2018

compares to actual cash received until September 2018 of 27.5 million euros (hence if all booked amount would have been received Sonae Arauco's Net Debt would be lower by 33.1 million euros).

1.2. Consolidated Results

Consolidated Turnover for the first nine months of the year reached circa 168.9 million euros, a reduction of 9.9 million euros vs. same period of last year, driven by lower sales to the Nordic markets by our Laminates and Components business and by the depreciation of the Canadian Dollar vs. the Euro leading to a reduction of sales in Euros from our North American business despite the increase in local currency sales. For the quarter, Consolidated Turnover reached 57.0 million euros, as in 3Q17 and slightly below 2Q18.

Variable costs per cubic meter in local currency increased in the first nine months of the year, when compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly driven by higher input costs of wood (affected by higher

SUMMARY OF 9M18 RESULTS

transportation costs) and higher thermal energy costs (due to the extreme cold weather in Canada in 1Q18). For the quarter, variable costs per cubic meter increased when compared to 3Q17 mainly driven by higher input costs of wood and chemicals, but decreased slightly when compared to the previous quarter, mainly driven by a reduction in input costs of wood.

Recurrent EBITDA for the first nine months of the year reached circa 22.7 million euros, a reduction of circa 8.2 million euros vs. 9M17. The lower Recurrent EBITDA when compared to 9M17 is mainly explained by the reduction in Turnover as explained above, which was only partially offset by a reduction in variable costs of circa 1.4 million euros (which benefited from the Canadian dollar depreciation since local currency costs increased). It should also be noted that 1Q17 included a positive one off effect in fixed costs of circa 1.5 million euros. The 9M18 Recurrent EBITDA margin reached 13.4%, down by 3.8 p.p. vs. 9M17. On a quarterly basis, Recurrent EBITDA for the 3Q18 stood at circa 8.6 million euros, a decrease of 1.5 million euros vs. 3Q17, but an increase of circa 0.3 million euros vs. 2Q18, driven by our North American business. The 3Q18 Recurrent EBITDA margin reached 15.0%, down by 2.6. p.p. vs. 3Q17, but up by circa 0.6 p.p. vs. 2Q18.

Consolidated EBITDA reached 22.1 million euros in the first nine months of the year and 8.2 million euros in 3Q18, a reduction of 8.5 million euros and 1.7 million euros vs. 9M17 and 3Q17, respectively. However, when compared to the previous quarter, consolidated EBITDA increased 0.1 million euros. The evolution in Consolidated EBITDA is mainly explained by the aforementioned performance of Recurrent EBITDA.

Total fixed costs represented 16.6% of turnover for the first nine months of the year, an increase of 0.8 p.p. vs. 9M17 despite the reduction in Fixed Costs when compared with the same period of last year (which benefited from a positive one off effect on fixed costs of circa 1.5 million euros). On a quarterly basis, total fixed costs represented circa 16.0% for 3Q18, a decrease of 0.2 p.p. and 1.0 p.p. vs. 3Q17 and 2Q18, respectively.

Total headcount of Sonae Indústria, at the end of September 2018, was 497 FTE's excluding Sonae Arauco, which compares with 493 and 483 FTE's at the end of June 2018 and September 2017, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization charges were 9.6 million euros during 9M18, which represents an increase of 0.3 million euros when compared to 9M17. The values booked for 9M18 take into account for the full period

SONAE INDÚSTRIA ACTIVITY REPORT - 9 MONTHS 2018

the investment in the new edging line for our Components plant in Portugal which was concluded in 4Q17. For the quarter, the depreciations charges reached 3.3 million euros, an increase of circa 0.3 million euros vs. 3Q17 and similar to the values booked for 2Q18.

Net financial charges during 9M18 were 8.5 million Euros, which represents a reduction of circa 0.2 million euros vs. 9M17 (it should be noted that 2Q17 included a one off negative effect for foreign exchange differences and derivatives). In the quarter net financial charges reached circa 2.9 million euros, in line with the values booked for 2Q18 and an increase of circa 0.3 million euros vs. 3Q17.

Gains and losses in Joint-Ventures – Net Resultsrefers to 50% of the net results of Sonae Arauco in the period (equity method accounting). For the first nine months of the year, this amounted to 21.5 million euros, an increase of circa 7.9 million euros when compared to 9M17, benefiting from the recognition of the insurance income related to business interruption and property damage due to the fires that affected two Sonae Arauco plants in Portugal in October 2017. On a quarterly basis, Gains and Losses in Joint-Ventures reached circa 2.8 million euros, down by circa 11.3 million euros when compared to 2Q18, mainly explained by lower insurance income recognition and lower activity levels, and down by 1.6 million euros vs. 3Q17.

Current tax charges were 4.6 million euros for the first nine months of the year, a decrease of circa 1.5 million euros when compared to 9M17, mainly driven by lower tax charges in Canada. On a quarterly basis, current tax charges improved circa 0.5 million euros and 0.2 million euros vs. 3Q17 and 2Q18, respectively, mainly driven by our North American business.

Net results were positive of circa 22.6 million euros for 9M18, an improvement of circa 1.7 million euros when compared to 9M17 with better net results at Sonae Arauco and despite lower Recurrent EBITDA of fully owned businesses. For the quarter, the net result reached circa 3.7 million euros, a decrease of circa 11.5 million euros vs. the previous quarter which was marked by very strong net results of our Joint Venture. When compared to 3Q17, net results decreased by circa 3.2 million euros.

Investments in Joint-Ventures (50% shareholding in Sonae Arauco) reached circa 218.0 million euros, which is 2.1 million euros higher than the book value of this investment at the end of 1H18, mostly due to our share of Sonae Arauco's results of circa 2.8 million euros, despite the impact of the unfavourable exchange rate evolution of the South African Rand of 0.6 million euros in the quarter.

Consolidated Working Capital reached circa 14.1 million euros, a reduction of 0.1 million euros when compared to September 2017, with higher trade creditors balances and inventories.

Net Debt stood at 204.7 million euros at the end of September 2018, a decrease of circa 3.0 million euros vs. June 2018, benefiting from the dividend received from Sonae Arauco, and of circa 5.2 million euros vs. September 2017.

Total Shareholders' Funds, at the end of September 2018, totaled circa 145.2 million euros, which represents an increase of circa 4.7 million euros when compared to June 2018, explained by the positive impacts from net results in the quarter and the favourable exchange rate evolution of the Canadian dollar vs. the EUR of 1.7 million euros, which more than offset the negative impact of the exchange rate evolution of the South African Rand of 0.6 million euros.

Additions to Gross Tangible Fixed Assets reached 7.3 million euros in the first nine months of the year, mainly related with recurrent investments in our North American business. The figure for 9M17 included amounts related with the investment in the new edging line for our Components plant in Portugal which was concluded in 4Q17.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE-MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2018

(Amounts expressed in euros)

1. INTRODUCTION

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 30 September 2018 and 30 September 2017 were not subject to a limited revision carried out by the company's statutory external auditor.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 2017.

2.1. Basis of Preparation

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 financial statements for fiscal year 2017.

2.2. Changes to accounting standards

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 2018 and endorsed by the European Union.

2.2.1. In the period ended 30 September 2018, the following standards and interpretations, which had been endorsed by the European Union, became effective:

IFRS 2 (amendment), Classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions. This amendment clarifies the measurement basis for cash-settled, share-based payments and the accounting for modifications to a share-based payment plan that change the classification an award from cash-settled to equity-settled. It also introduces an exception to the principles in IFRS 2 that will require an award to be treated as if it was wholly equity-settled, where an employer is obliged to withhold an amount for the employee's tax obligation associated with a share-based payment and pay that amount to the tax authority;

IFRS 4 (amendment), Insurance contracts (Applying IFRS 4 with IFRS 9). This amendment allows companies that issue insurance contracts the option to recognise in Other Comprehensive Income, rather than Profit or Loss the volatility that could rise when IFRS 9 is applied before the new insurance contract standard is issued. Additionally, it is given an optional temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 until 2021, to the companies

whose activities are predominantly connected with insurance, not being applicable at consolidated level;

IFRS 9 (new), Financial instruments. IFRS 9 replaces the guidance in IAS 39, regarding: (i) the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities; (ii) the recognition of credit impairment (through the expected credit losses model); and (iii) the hedge accounting requirements and recognition;

IFRS 15 (new), Revenue from contracts with customers. This new standard applies only to contracts with customers to provide goods or services and requires an entity to recognise revenue when the contractual obligation to deliver the goods or services is satisfied and by the amount that reflects the consideration the entity is expected to be entitled to, following a five step approach;

IFRS 15 (amendment) Revenue from contracts with customers. This amendment refers to additional guidance for determining the performance obligations in a contract, the timing of revenue recognition from a license of intellectual property, the review of the indicators for principal versus agent classification, and to new practical expedients to simplify transition;

IAS 40 (amendment), Transfers of Investment property. This amendment clarifies when assets are transferred to or from investment properties, the evidence of the change in use is required. A change of management intention in isolation is not enough to support a transfer;

Annual Improvement 2014 - 2016. The 2014-2016 annual improvements impacts: IFRS 1, IFRS 12 and IAS 28;

IFRIC 22 (new), Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration. An Interpretation to IAS 21 'The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates' it refers to the determination of the "date of transaction" when an entity either pays or receives consideration in advance for foreign currency denominated contracts. The date of transaction determines the exchange rate used to translate the foreign currency transactions.

2.2.2. At 30 September 2018, the following standards and interpretations had been issued by IASB and had been endorsed by the European Union, but had not been applied as they only become effective in later periods:

IFRS 9 (amendment), Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). The amendment introduces the possibility to classify certain financial assets with negative compensation features at amortized cost, provided that specific conditions are fulfilled, instead of being classified at fair value through profit or loss;

IFRS 16 (new), Leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This new standard replaces the IAS 17 with a significant impact on the accounting by lessees that are now required to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a "right-of-use asset" for all lease contracts, except for certain short-term leases and for lowvalue assets. The definition of a lease contract also changed, being based on the "right to control the use of an identified asset".

The Company still did not complete the analysis of the effects which may arise from the future application of these standards.

2.2.3. At 30 September 2018, the following standards, effective 1 January 2018 or later, had been issued by IASB but still had not been endorsed by the European Union:

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;

IAS 28 (amendment), Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019). This amendment is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. 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). These improvements are still subject to endorsement by the European Union. The 2015-2017 annual improvements affects: IAS 23, IAS 12, IFRS 3 and IFRS 11;

IFRIC 23 (new), Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments (effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2019). This interpretation is still subject to endorsement by the European Union. This is an interpretation of IAS 12 - Income tax referring to the measurement and recognition requirements to be applied when there is uncertainty as to the acceptance of an income tax treatment by the tax authorities. In the event of uncertainty as to the position of the tax authority on a specific transaction, the entity shall make its best estimate and record the income tax assets or liabilities under IAS 12 rather than IAS 37 - Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, based on the expected value or the most probable value. The application of IFRIC 23 may be retrospective or retrospective modified.

The Company does not estimate any significant effect to arise from the application of these standards.

2.3. Translation of financial statements of foreign companies

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 30 September 2018, the results of Sonae Arauco Group included the following effects related to the aforementioned fires:

  • Insurance compensation gain relating to business interruption losses, which were estimated to amount to EUR 17 million;

  • Insurance compensation for property damages resulting from new equipment which replaced damaged ones, amounting to EUR 26.3 million;

  • Insurance compensation gain relating to losses in inventories and other losses, amounting to EUR 1.3 million.

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.

18. CONTINGENCIES

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, 2016 and 2017 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 of EUR 31.5 million. Regarding other cases in which these former subsidiaries are jointly involved with other German producers and whose maximum contingency amounted to EUR 42.7 million at 31 December 2017, as at 30 September 2018 this amount was reduced to EUR 26 million as a result of developments occurred during third quarter 2018 regarding one of those cases, which had no effects on these consolidated financial statements. 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 by Sonae Arauco, S. A., Sonae Indústria SGPS S. A. and the companies of the Arauco Group, Inversiones Arauco Internacional Limitada and Celulosa Arauco y Constitucion SA, Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S. A. assumes the obligation to compensate Sonae Arauco, S. A. for any losses resulting from these proceedings.

Furthermore, Sonae Arauco South Africa (Pty) Ltd, a company classified as a joint venture of Sonae Indústria, as indicated in note 4, has been under investigation since the beginning of 2016 by the South African Competition Commission. This ongoing investigation includes Sonae Arauco South Africa (PTY) Ltd and a competitor and is based on alleged infraction of local

competition law. If this South-African authority is able to prove the allegations to the Competition Court of South Africa, Sonae Arauco South Africa may incur a fine of up to 10% of its turnover stated in the preceding financial year. The ongoing investigation has consisted, among other things, in the inquiries of several directors and employees of the company. In the context of these inquiries, in June 2018 Sonae Arauco and Sonae Indústria have taken note of previously unknown facts that could negatively influence the outcome of the ongoing investigation, although, at the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, it is not possible to predict whether this investigation will give rise to any responsibility in the consolidated liabilities of Sonae Indústria Group nor the amount of such a responsibility, if any. Under the terms of the agreement for the subscription of Sonae Arauco, S. A. shares, entered into by Sonae Arauco, S. A., Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S. A. and the companies of the Arauco Group, Inversiones Arauco Internacional Limitada and Celulosa Arauco y Constituición S. A., Sonae Indústria, SGPS, S. A. assumed the obligation to compensate Sonae Arauco, S. A. for any losses that may result from this investigation.

19. APPROVAL OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issuance 24 October 2018.
