1HIGHLIGHTS AND CEO'S MESSAGE

  • Sonae turnover continued to grow, reaching €4,115 M in 9M17, +6.9% y.o.y.
  • Sonae underlying EBITDA grew by €19 M y.o.y., reaching €221 M in 9M17
  • Sonae net debt decreased €30 M versus 9M16, to €1,217 M in 9M17

"During this 3rd quarter, in which the business portfolio is now comparable to the same period of last year, we continued to grow at a healthy trend (4.8%) in aggregated terms, thanks to the positive contribution from all our main activities, particularly from our various retail businesses, which grew by 5.1%.

This performance was equally positive in terms of profitability, with aggregated EBITDA growing by 10% when compared with the same period of 2016, and at the same time strengthening competitive positions without compromising the quality of our value proposals as once again highlighted by the recognition in another DECO study showing we are the retailer offering the lowest prices in the Portuguese market.

In a quarter in which investment was kept at high levels, we continued to reinforce capital structure through lowered debt, increased maturity and improved financing conditions."

Ângelo Paupério, Sonae Co-CEO

Sonae businesses highlights

• Turnover kept the positive trend of the previous quarters, increasing in all businesses in the first nine months of 2017;

• Underlying EBITDA increased in all businesses, apart from Sonae IM.

From a statutory perspective, Sonae consolidated turnover totalled €4,115 M, growing 6.9% in comparison to 9M16, fuelled by the performance of all businesses: Sonae Retail, Sonae FS and Sonae IM.

Sonae underlying EBITDA reached €221 M, more €19 M when compared with 9M16. All businesses contributed positively except Sonae IM, which decreased y.o.y.. Sonae underlying EBITDA margin increased 10 bps y.o.y., to 5.4%.

Sonae EBITDA amounted to €273 M in 9M17, -8.1% versus 9M16. Despite the higher underlying EBITDA and the equity method results, the y.o.y. performance was impacted by the non-recurrent items registered last year (benefiting mostly from the capital gains arising from the sale and leaseback transactions completed by Sonae RP in 2016). On a quarterly basis, EBITDA increased €21 M when compared to 3Q16, to €130 M, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 8.6%.

Sonae net financial activity improved by €8 M, registering a negative €28 M in 9M17, reflecting the reduction in the cost of outstanding debt. The average interest rate of outstanding debt was 1.3% in 3Q17, a value that compares with 1.4% in 3Q16. It should be noted that Sonae financial results exclude Sonae Sierra and NOS businesses.

Sonae direct results amounted to €102 M, reducing 14.4% when compared to the same period of last year, mainly explained by non-recurrent items and marginally by D&A, that were partially compensated by the higher underlying EBITDA, equity method results and the less negative net financial activity. Sonae indirect results stood at €37 M, increasing by €16 M y.o.y. as result of the positive effect of the valuation of Sierra's assets, as well as from a capital gain driven by the deconsolidation of MDS (already reported in 1H17).

Financial leverage ratio decreased 210 bps in comparison with 9M16, to 36.7%. Sonae net debt decreased €30 M y.o.y, amounting to €1,217 M in 9M17.

Average gearing at book value reached 0.6x, staying 0.1x below 3Q16. Average gearing at market value stood at 0.7x, 0.1x below 3Q16, explained by an increase in equity and on shareholders' funds, coupled with a decrease in net debt level.

Sonae remains focused on presenting a robust capital structure, optimising funding costs whilst maintaining sufficient back up liquidity and a long maturity profile. Sonae continued to fulfil its practice of being fully financed for the coming 18 months and at the same time improving its general funding conditions. As of 9M17, the average maturity profile remained close to 4 years.

Retail net financial debt totalled €701 M in 9M17, -1.6% versus the same period of last year. Retail net debt to EBITDA stood at 2.0x, growing by 0.1x y.o.y. motivated by a lower EBITDA over the last 12 months, due to the already mentioned non-recurrent items.

Holding & other net debt stood at €514 M, a reduction of 3.1% in comparison with the same period of 2016, despite the payment of dividends, this year in 2Q17. Loan-to-value ratio of the Holding stood at 11%, decreasing when compared to 12% reached in 9M16, backed by a lower Holding & other net financial debt and a higher Net Asset Value.

Sonae Capex totalled €202 M, less 31.2% in comparison with 9M16, mainly explained by the lower Capex in Sonae Sports & Fashion, impacted by the acquisition of Salsa in 2Q16, together with a lower Capex at Sonae MC and Sonae RP.

SONAE MC

Turnover and underlying EBITDA evolution

Sonae Retail turnover reached €4,067 M, increasing 6.6% when compared to the same period of last year, with all businesses adding a positive contribution with the exception of Sonae RP that remained almost flat y.o.y..

Retail underlying EBITDA improved by almost €18 M y.o.y., amounting to €237 M in 9M17. This improvement was mainly driven by Worten and Sonae Sports & Fashion, which largely offset the slightly smaller contribution of Sonae MC and Sonae RP.

In 9M17, Sonae MC turnover increased 4.8%, reaching €2,814 M. This performance benefited from a LfL sales growth of 0.5% and from the contribution of the expansion (of which 10 Continente Bom Dia stores opened in 9M17). In 9M17, turnover growth was higher than the market which allowed MC to further strength its market leadership.

This quarter was particularly positive for Sonae MC as the LfL sales stood at +0.1% regardless the challenging comparable of +4.1% in 3Q16 and despite being negatively impacted by the low inflation, specially by the deflation on fruits and vegetables, and by the total market sales area expansion. This evolution proves the success of Sonae MC value proposition improvement. We continued to work in order to maintain our price leadership in the market and to improve our price perception. In this context, Sonae MC reached, again, the top of the pricing index in the latest study of the Portuguese consumer's association.

Despite the relentless competitive environment and our continued investment in price and in the expansion of the store network in proximity stores, Sonae MC underlying EBITDA margin stood at 5.2% in 9M17 (30 bps below 9M16) and 6.3% in the 3Q17 (40 bps below 3Q16). In absolute terms, underlying EBITDA achieved €146 M, which compares with €147 M in 9M16.

Following the success of the 1st Dr. Well's opened in May 2017, a clinic specialised in dental and aesthetic medicine, Sonae MC opened the 2nd in October 2017. The openings of Dr Well's is aimed at democratising the access to quality, customised health care services and is aligned with Sonae MC strategy of strengthening its position in the Health and Wellness segment.

WORTEN

Worten turnover stood at €689 M in 9M17, growing 8.8% when compared to 9M16, supported by a LfL sales growth of 6.6% in Iberia.

Pursuing its omni-channel strategy, Worten continued investing in its web platform while improving its store network, with further store refurbishments in Portugal, and with some sqm reduction in Spain. The ecommerce operation kept showing a strong momentum, registering a sales increase in all geographies, especially in Spain, where since the beginning of 2017 online sales grew more than 50%.

The underlying EBITDA reached €14 M in 9M17, +54.1% y.o.y, already reflecting the initial impact of our integrated Iberian management approach as well as the strong turnover improvement in all geographies and the store network optimization in Spain, corresponding to an underlying EBITDA margin of 2.0%.

Turnover and underlying EBITDA evolution 374 437 -0.3% 2.8% 9M16 9M17 Turnover Underlying EBITDA margin + 16.8% LfL -1.2%

SONAE SPORTS & FASHION

Sonae Sports & Fashion turnover amounted to €437 M, growing 16.8% when compared with the 9M16. This performance benefited from Salsa consolidation (1Q17 and 2Q17), and from the growth of the original portfolio. The 9M17 turnover performance also confirms the success of the recent readjustment of the value proposition of original fashion formats, which reached strong LfL sales growth. The only LfL negative contribution came from Sport Zone.

The underlying EBITDA reached €12 M in 9M17, an improvement of almost €14 M when compared to the same period of 2016, not only positively impacted by Salsa, but also by the positive contribution of original portfolio brands. In the 3Q17, the underlying EBITDA improved additional €4 M, mostly driven by improvements of original portfolio brands.

In September 2017, it was formalized the agreement with JD Sports Fashion Plc, Balaiko Firaja Invest S.L. and JD Sprinter Holdings 2010, S.L., in relation to the combination of JD Sprinter and Sport Zone. The completion of this transaction is still subject to the fulfilment of conditions precedent dependent on 3rd parties.

In operational terms, Sonae Sierra, preserved a strong performance with high occupancies rates, having registered in the 9M17 a total occupancy rate of 95.6%. In Brazil, the occupancy rate decreased by 420 bps when compared to 9M16, as result of regular tenancy rotation movements.

NAV stood at €1,407 M at 30th September 2017, almost €11 M below the value booked in 2016 year-end, mainly due to the dividend payment and the adverse exchange rate effect of Brazilian real (30 Sept. 2017 vs. 31 Dec. 2016), which was partially compensated by the net results of the period. Loanto-value stood at 31%, which compares with 28% in 2016.

3 RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATMENT

During the period ended on 30 June 2017, Sonae sold 1,773 shares of MDS, SGPS, SA, passing the holding percentage to 50%, and altered the shareholder agreement, losing control of that subsidiary and becoming a joint venture. Due to this fact, the income statement for the period ended on 30 September 2016 was restated, with all the activity of this subsidiary and its subsidiaries going under the heading "Discontinued operations", see impact in Note 4.1.

The Losan Group is a multinational group with its the parent company based in Spain, it specializes in the wholesale business of children's wear. This acquisition was aimed to improve skills in the supply chain and to strengthen international capacity expansion of Sonae through wholesale channels. These companies were incorporated in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2015, date from which Sonae began to exercise control over its activities.

IVN – Serviços Partilhados, SA holds the brand Salsa which is a Portuguese brand of jeanswear of international renown, recognized for its entrepreneurial spirit and the development of innovative products. Being a truly international company, its products can be found in about 2,000 points of sale in 32 countries.

Following the acquisition of these companies, a preliminary assessment was made regarding the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. The fair value was determined through various valuation methodologies for each type of asset or liability, based on the best information available. The main adjustments to fair value made under this process were:

  • (i) Wholesale customer portfolio (13.1 million euro in Losan and 35.5 million euro in Salsa), valued based on the discounted cash-flow methodology, using discount rates based on the weighted average cost of the segment's capital (11%), where Companies are included and considering an average retention rate of customers of 84% based on historical data, for Losan and 9.4% for wholesale Salsa's customers. These portfolios will be amortized on a straight-line basis based on the estimated average retention period of customers (10 years);
  • (ii) Losan brand (11.6 million euro), valued based on the released royalty methodology and for which no defined life was identified;
  • (iii) Salsa brand (51 million euro) was valued based on the methodology of the released royalties, using for this purpose the discount rates based on weighted average cost of capital of the segment where the companies fall (11%) and a royalty rate of 4%, and for which was not estimated a defined useful life;
  • (iv) Real estate assets in Salsa (15.8 million euro) were valued based on a preliminary external valuation of the mentioned assets, which had been obtained prior to the acquisition, the new evaluation process was completed in 31 May 2017; and
  • (v) contingent liabilities in Salsa relating to present obligations in the amount of 6 million euro, over which there were also recognized indemnifying assets as contractually supported;
  • (vi) Contingent liabilities in Losan relating to present liabilities amounting to 0.9 million euro.

For the remaining assets and liabilities, no significant differences were identified between the fair value and the respective book value. As usually happens in the concentrations of business activities also in this operation could not be assigned, in accounting terms, the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities assumed part of the cost of acquisition, being that component recognized as goodwill and recorded under the caption Intangible assets.

The above valuations correspond to Level 3 of Fair Value, in accordance with IFRS 13.

As these acquisitions occurred at the end of the year 2015 and on June 30, 2016, for Losan and Salsa respectively, only at the end of 2016, in the case of Losan and during the first half of 2017 in the case of Salsa, was it possible to complete the fair value calculation exercise and Goodwill calculation. The impact of these evaluations in the consolidated financial statements as at 30 September 2016 was as follows:

On 31 May 2017, an external evaluation was made to a group of properties of Salsa based on the market value, resulting in a reduction of the fair value calculated on December 31, 2016 in the amount of 4,384,000 euro.

4.2 The major acquisitions of subsidiaries occurred in the period ended at 30 September 2017

The acquisitions of companies included in the full consolidation can be analyzed as follows:

In December 2016, Sonae MC concluded an agreement with the shareholders of GO WELL – Promoção de Eventos, Catering e Consultoria, S.A. (Go Well) for the acquisition of 51% of the share capital. This transaction became effective in May 2017. Go Well operates in 24 specialized restaurants in healthy food in Portugal, typically located in shopping centres, and has a variety of concepts such as grab&go, sushibar, freshly and breakfasts. Go Well operates exclusively through the brand "Go Natural" and in 2015, generated a turnover of 6.4 million euro.

In April 2017, an affiliated of the Group concluded an agreement with the shareholders of BRIO - Produtos de Agricultura Biológica, S.A. (BRIO) for the acquisition of 100% of BRIO's share capital. Established in 2008, Brio is the first organic supermarket chain launched in Portugal, and explores six supermarkets specialized in organic food, all with convenience locations in the metropolitan area of Lisbon.

The effect on equity and non-controlled interests results fundamentally from the exchange rate conversion effect of companies with functional currencies other than the euro. In 2016, it also included the 50% of gain cancelled by counterpart of Reserves in the amount of 9,362,943 euro related to the sale of the 2.14% direct interest held in the NOS.

The amount of distributed dividends related to Investments in Joint Ventures refers to Sonae Sierra (37,391,100 euro) (12,355,320 euro as at September 2016) and ZOPT (16,512,005 euro) (18,311,947 euro, as at September 2016).

The value of the "Change in consolidation method for the loss of control" is the follow:

  • a) 32.534.003 euros refers to MDS SGPS, S.A. by the agreement signed between Sonae and IPLF Holding (Notes 3 and 4.1) and
  • b) 2,703,451 euro refers to Sohi Meat Solutions- Distribuição de Carnes, SA. This company results from the agreement signed on 3rd January 2017, the date on which a Joint Venture was formed between Sonae MC and Hilton Food Group PLC through a capital increase of this Group in Sohi Meat. Since then, Sohi Meat has been consolidated using the equity method (Note 15).

The consolidated financial statements of ZOPT have a significant exposure to the African market, particularly through financial investments that Group holds in associated companies (Finstar, Mistar, Zap Media) operating in the Angolan and Mozambican markets, which are engaged in providing satellite and fiber television services. The book value of these associates in the financial statements of ZOPT on 30 September 2017 amounts to approximately Euro 176.9 million, included in the caption "Other non-current assets".

At the end of the year ended 31 December 2016, the Group made impairment tests for those assets, which are denominated in the currencies of those countries, Kwanzas and Meticals, respectively, considering the business plans (internal valuation using the discounted cash flow method, compared to researches) approved by the Board of Directors for a five years period, which include average growth rates of revenue for that period of 13% (Angola) and 14% (Mozambique). These revenue growth rates reflects: (i) the best estimate for the growth of the customer base, reflecting an expectation of new clients and chum estimated rates, when considered prudent, and (ii) an annual price increase which corresponds, over the period 2017 to 2021, to an average of 75% of the inflation rate, since, considering the nature of the activity carried out by the companies, especially in Angola and in line with the price increases in previous years, it is not expected that companies will be able to reflect in their prices the total inflation in the country.

The business plans consider yet a growth rate in perpetuity of 7.7% (Angola) and 5.6% (Mozambique) and a discount rate ('wacc') in perpetuity of 17.5% (Angola) and 19.1% (Mozambique). The discount rate, over the period 2017 to 2021 ranged from a maximum of 31.5% to a minimum of 17.5% (in 2021), for Angola, and from a maximum of 30.9% to a minimum of 19.1% (2021) in Mozambique, in line with the most appropriate inflation forecasts (source: The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)).

The impairment tests carried out, based on the assumptions above, support the value of the assets, so not result in additional impairments. However, that the current economic conditions of uncertainty in these markets, particularly in the foreign exchange market and the limitation of currency transfer, particularly in Angola, introduces an additional degree of variability to the assumptions, which could significantly impact of the estimates considered, in terms of of the rate of inflation and the ability to reflect the rate in price increases.

As of 30 September 2017, it was understood that the assumptions made in the impairment tests carried out in the year ended December 31, 2016 did not have material variations, therefore, there are no indications of additional impairments.

Other non-current investments, their head offices, percentage of share capital held and book value as at 30 September 2017 and 31 December 2016, are as follows:

1) Investments acquired during the period.

The financial investment in Ed Broking LLP was revalued to its fair value as at 31 December 2016 based on EBITDA multiples adjusted by the net debt value and sales multiples by region adjusted by the costs of the central structure after optimization. This valuation led to a reduction in the investment amounting 7.2 million euro corresponding to an impairment in the same amount as at 31 December 2016. The disposal, of the company´s North American operation and the costs associated with the ongoing restructuring significantly affected the valuation of the company taking into account the valuation criteria used. Both valuations correspond to Level 3 of Fair Value, although the multiples used are market benchmarks.

On 30 September 2017, the financial interest in Ed Broking LLP was classified as a discontinued operation (Note 4.1) because it is included in the consolidated accounts of MDS, SGPS, S.A..

As at 30 September 2017 the caption "Other investments" includes, among others, 9,931,869 euro (9,966,231 euro in 31 December 2016) related to deposited amounts on an Escrow Account which is applied in investment funds with superior rating, which is a guarantee for contractual liabilities assumed in the disposal of a Brazil Retail business and for which provisions were recorded in the applicable situations (Notes 23 and 24).

As at 30 September 2016 the fair value increase / (decrease) in the caption "Other current investments" is mainly associated to the fair value of NOS investment up to the disposal date in the amount of 15,681,846 euro negative. The fair value of this investment was determined based on the NOS market share price and the respective changes were recorded in the consolidated income statement. This participation was sold in the second quarter of 2016.

The Other non-current financial Investments are recorded at acquisition cost net of impairment losses. It is Sonae understanding that no reliable fair value estimate can be made as there is no market data available for these investments.

16 SHARE CAPITAL

Share Capital

As at 30 September 2017, the share capital, which is fully subscribed and paid for, is made up of 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, which do not have the right to a fixed dividend, with a nominal value of 1 euro each.

Cash Settled Equity Swap

On 15th November 2007, Sonae Holding sold 132,856,072 Sonae Holding shares directly owned by the Company. The shares were sold in a market operation at the unit price of 2.06 euro per share and resulted on a cash inflow (net of brokerage commissions) of 273,398,877 euro.

On the same date, Sonae Investments, BV wholly owned by Sonae Holding entered into a derivative financial instrument - Cash Settled Equity Swap - over a total of 132,800,000 Sonae Holding shares, representative of 6.64% of its capital.

This transaction has strictly financial liquidation, without any duty or right for the Company or any of its associated companies in the purchase of these shares. This transaction allows Sonae Investments BV to totally maintain the economic exposure to the sold shares.

In this context, although legally all the rights and obligations inherent to these shares have been transferred to the buyer. Sonae Holding did not derecognize their own shares, recording a liability in the caption "Other current liabilities" (Note 22). According to the interpretation made by Sonae of the IAS 39, applied by analogy to own equity instruments, the derecognition of own shares is not allowed as the group maintains the risks and rewards arising on the instruments sold.

Consequently, Sonae maintains in its capital acquisition cost of the shares that remain covered by the contract.

In November 2014, was made a renewal for an additional period of one year renewable automatically, keeping the remaining conditions unchanged. During the period ended in 30 September 2017 the Group requested the partial termination of the Cash Settled Equity Swap for 5,278,203 Sonae SGPS shares.

Considering the operations mentioned above, the liability recorded amounts to 103,699,999 euro (87,721,109 euro as at 31 December 2016) (Note 22) reflecting the market value of 104,442,164 Sonae SGPS shares (110.341.017 shares as at 31 de December 2016).

The value of these liabilities is adjusted at the end of each month by the effect of Sonae Holding share price variation being recognized a current asset/liability in order to present the right / obligation related to the receipt / financial liquidation that occurs on a monthly basis.

Additionally, the costs related to the "floating amount" based on the Euribor 1 month are recognized in the income statement.

The value to get established on the basis of dividends and reserves distributed by Sonae is credited in equity to offset the charge of the distribution.

1) Discontinued operations (Note 4.1).

In June 2014, a subsidiary of Sonae SGPS, SA issued bonds which may be convertible (Sonae Investments BV 2014/2019) in Sonae shares already issued and fully subscribed or to be later on issued.

The fair value of the Equity component of this compound instrument was valued at 22,313,000 euro and it was determined by an independent entity from Sonae, taking into consideration the fair value of similar nonconvertible financial instruments, having been estimated a market interest rate to establish the amortized cost of this financial liability. The liability component is recorded at the amortized cost based on the market rate, the maturity of the loans includes the option value at amortized cost.

The Bonds were issued at par with a nominal value of 100,000 euro per bond, (2.105 euro per bond) with a maturity of 5 years and with a fixed coupon of 1.625% per year, paid in arrears and semi-annually.

The bonds can be converted at the request of the bondholder when the Sonae SGPS, SA share price, in accordance with the technical data sheet, exceeds 1,636 euro per share. This price is subject to adjustments in accordance with the market practices, particularly when the dividend exceeds 0.0284 euro per share.

It is estimated that the book value of all loans does not differ significantly from its fair value, determined based on discounted cash flows methodology, with the exception the convertible bond loan into shares whose fair value is determined by the market price at the balance sheet date.

In the third quarter, bonds and bank loans bear an average interest rate of 1.31% (1.34% as at 31 December 2016). Most of the bonds and bank loans have variable interest rates indexed to Euribor.

The derivatives are recorded at fair value (Note 19).

The loans face value, maturities and interests are as follows (including obligations under financial leases):

19 DERIVATIVES

Exchange Rate Derivatives

Sonae uses exchange rate derivatives, essentially to hedge future cash flows that will occur in the next 12 months.

Therefore, Sonae entered several exchange rate forwards in order to manage its exchange rate exposure.

The fair value of exchange rate derivatives hedging instruments, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments of exchange rate, is 3,417,732 euro as liabilities, and 533,056 euro as assets (358,117 euro as liabilities and 4,207,972 euro as assets, as at 31 December 2016).

The accounting of the fair value for these financial instruments was made taking into consideration the present value at financial position statement date of the forward settlement amount in the maturity date of the contract. The settlement amount considered in the valuation, is equal to the currency notional amount (foreign currency) multiplied by the difference between the contracted forward exchange rate and the forward exchange market rate at that date as at the valuation date.

Losses in the period arising from changes in the fair value of instruments that do not qualify for hedging accounting treatment were recorded directly in the income statement in the captions "Others Financial income" or "Financial expenses".

Gains and losses for the year associated with the change in market value of derivative instruments are recorded under the caption "Hedging reserve" when considered cash flow hedging and when considered as fair value hedging are recorded under the caption "Financial income" or "Financial expenses". The change in market value of derivative instruments when considered as speculation is recorded in the income statement under the caption "Other expenses".

a) Tax Claims

Detalham-se de seguida os principais processos fiscais para os quais foram prestadas garantias bancárias ou fianças:

The main tax claims with bank guarantees given or sureties associated are as follows:

  • Some retail operating segment subsidiaries of the Company granted guarantees in favor of the Portuguese Tax Administration, associated with tax claims for additional VAT payment amounting to 538 million euro (556.7 million euro as at 31 December 2016) related to the period from 2004 to 2013, which the Company has presented, or has the intention of presenting, a tax appeal. Portuguese tax authorities claim that the Company should have invoiced VAT related to promotional discounts invoiced to suppliers which depend on the purchases made by the Group during the year, as it considers that the discounts correspond to services rendered by the company. Tax authorities also claim that the company should not have deducted VAT from discount vouchers used by its non-corporate clients.

  • The caption guarantees given on tax claims include guarantees granted, in the amount of 142.9 million euro (142.9 million euro as at 31 December 2016), in favor of Tax authorities regarding 2007 up to 2013. Concerning these guarantees, the most significant amount relates to an increase in equity arising on the disposal of own shares to a third party in 2007, as well as to the disregard of the reinvestment concerning capital gains in share disposal, and the fact that demerger operations must be disregarded for income tax purposes. The Company has presented an appeal against this additional tax claim, being the Board of Directors understanding, based on its advisor's assessment, that such appeal will be favourable.

  • Sureties in the amount of, approximately, 60 million euro as a result of a tax appeal presented by the Company concerning an additional tax assessment by Tax authorities, relating to 31 December 2005, following the correction of taxable income for corresponding to a prior cover tax losses accumulated by the subsidiary, which has been brought to the cost of participation, moreover, as is understanding already signed by the Tax Administration itself, and now understood that in this case should not consider the amount of the cost of participation , thus including cover losses upon liquidation of the subsidiary company;

  • Sureties in the amount of, approximately 50 million euro, following a tax appeal presented by the Company concerning additional tax assessments made by Tax authorities, relating to 31 December 2002,

which refer to the non-acceptance by Tax authorities of tax losses arising on the sale and liquidation of a subsidiary of the Group;

  • Fiscal lawsuit related to rent tax, concerning a subsidiary of the Company in Brazil, in the amount of, approximately, 17.4 million euro (65.6 million Brazilian real), which is being judged by a tax court, for which there were granted guarantees in the amount of 44 million euro (165.9 million Brazilian real). The difference between the value of the contingency and the value of the guarantee relates with the update of the related responsibility.

b) Contingent assets and liabilities related to tax claims paid under regularization programs of tax debts

Within the framework of regularization of tax debts to Tax Authorities, (Outstanding Debts Settlement of Tax and Social Security - Decree of Law 151-A/2013 and Decree of Law 248-A), the Group made tax payments in the amount of, approximately, 22 million euro, having the respective guarantees been eliminated. The related tax appeals continue in courts, having the maximum contingencies been reduced through the elimination of fines and interests related with these tax assessments.

As permitted by law, the Group maintains the legal proceedings, in order to establish the recovery of those amounts, having recorded as an asset the amounts related with income taxes paid under those plans (Note 11).

  • c) Other contingent liabilities
  • Contingent liabilities related to discontinued activities in subsidiaries in Brazil

Following the disposal of a subsidiary in Brazil, Sonae guaranteed to the buyer of the subsidiary all the losses incurred by that company arising on unfavourably decisions not open for appeal, concerning tax lawsuits on transactions that took place before the sale date (13 December 2005) and that exceed 40 million euro. As at 31 December 2016, the amount claimed by the Brazilian Tax Authorities, concerning the tax lawsuits still in progress, which the company's lawyers assess as having a high probability of loss, plus the amounts already paid (28.5 million euro) related to programs for the Brazilian State of tax recovery, amount to near 32.4 million euro at 31 December 2016. Furthermore, there are other tax assessments totalling 60.8 million euro (60.8 million euro as at 31 December 2016) for which the Board of Directors, based on its lawyers' assessment, understands will not imply future losses to the former subsidiary.

No provision has been recorded to face risks arising from events related to guarantees given, as the Board of Directors considers that no liabilities will result for Sonae.

31 PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENTS

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 Sonae 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 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 2017 and 2016 can be summarized as follows:
