In the MAIL business unit, the decrease in revenues is mainly due to the evolution of addressed mail volumes which decreased by 3.7% in the 1st quarter of 2017. The decrease, however, was lower than in the last quarter (-7.2%) and throughout the year of 2016 (-4.2%). It should be noted that this evolution was positively influenced by the existence of 2 more working days than in the first 3 months of 2016.

The reason for the change in addressed mail volumes was mainly the drop in transactional mail volumes due mostly to reduced consumption of large business customers, both owing to the normal substitution effect of physical with digital communication and to the change in the consumption profile (campaigns or initiatives not carried out).
The average change of the prices of the Universal Service in the 1st quarter of 2017versus the same period of the previous year was 0.1% which had almost no impact on the revenues of addressed mail. The price update of the basket of letter mail, editorial mail and parcels services, which in 2016 occurred in February, took effect from 4 April of this year ), thus not having an impact in the period under review.
Transactional mail volumes decreased by 3.3% in the 1st quarter of 2017. This evolution is the result of changes in the volumes of ordinary mail (-4.9%), and priority mail (-7.4%). On the contrary, registered mail (+12.5%), correio verde (+2.8%), international outbound mail (+3.7%) and international inbound mail (+0.6%) had a positive evolution.
The increase in registered mail volumes (+12.5%) was mainly due to the Government and the Public higher consumption, particularly the Tax Authority (+42.5%), which was showing signs of stabilisation at the end of 2016. The growth of the 1st quarter of 2017 will probably not continue throughout the year and will tend to a more stable scenario.
Ordinary mail volumes decreased mainly due to the reduction in mail sent by some of the large customers of the Banking (-9.6%) and Telecommunications (-7.8%) sectors. The reductions were mostly due to the continuous substitution of physical with digital communications (less items sent associated to bank statements and invoices), to the consolidation of the banking sector and of the 4P offer in the telecommunications, and to the use of other operators that entered the market.
The digital substitution effect can also be felt in the evolution of editorial mail to the extent that contractual customers of this product are increasingly making their periodicals available via e-mail or on the Internet. This effect, combined with the fact that a major customer made an extraordinary shipment in 2016 that was not repeated, led to an 8.9% decrease in volumes.
Addressed advertising mail volumes dropped by 4.6% in the 1 st quarter, mostly due to campaigns being brought forward or delayed by large customers, thus making quarterly comparisons difficult. The new CTT Ads solution was launched during this 1st quarter and therefore has no visible effect on the volumes and revenues of advertising mail, as it is still in the period of acquiring clients and getting them acquainted with the solution through testing campaigns.
The EXPRESS & PARCELS 30.0m, corresponding to a stabilisation vis-à-vis the same period of 2016. accounted for in 2016, the revenues grew by 2.6% in the 1st quarter of 2017.
In Spain, business revenues stood at 12.0m, +7.8% than in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the 12.9% growth in volumes as a result of winning back large clients and acquiring new ones, as well as of the increased activity of the franchisees based on the specific offer for the e-commerce segment.
Revenues in Portugal , as a result, on one hand, of a 3.9%growth of the CEP business and, on the other, of a sharp drop of the banking business (-25.1%). The overall performance was due to the B2B segment, in the industry and retail sectors, and the B2C segment, in the telecommunications and e-commerce sector, especially clothing and sports. Volumes increased by 8.7% on the basis of the entry of new customers
acquired during 2016, on the growth of the share of wallet of some customers and also the growth of activity of major customers.
The offer of the service Ponto CTT (PuDo) in 29 Phone House stores began during this quarter, following the agreement entered into between both companies. The agreement provides for the possibility of expanding the service to around 100 stores. During this quarter the service of posting and receiving parcels at a number of Payshop agents started and its expansion is also foreseen. It is intended to strengthen the convenience of the CTT Outlets Network with more than 1,000 outlets to pick up and drop off parcels in Portugal, with extended opening hours and greater proximity to the residential areas and consumption sites.
E-commerce was a crucial lever for the growth of the parcels volumes. During the 1st quarter of 2017, its activity grew by 19% in terms of (last-mile) delivered volumes originated in the online retail sector in Portugal. The overall volumes (including inbound cross-border) delivered by CTT in Portugal grew by around 17%. In March, the CTT offer of the e-segue service was extended to the general public at all CTT post offices. This offer was designed with the B2C/e-commerce segments in mind. It seeks to give the market convenience, flexibility and predictability on the basis of swift, adequate information to those involved in the process (especially the addressee) and the possibility to interact, changing the delivery conditions (address, date and time slot). As a critical concern of those who purchase and sell, returns are also addressed by the CTT e-segue service in a simple manner and also taking advantage of the high capillarity of CTT.
Mozambique recorded a 7.2% revenues growth in local currency (metical) vis-à-vis the 1st quarter of 2016, +1.9 million metical, mainly due to the growth of the banking business; in terms of euros, there was a reduction of 0.1m (-22.1%) in the revenues, due to the negative evolution of the metical exchange rate.
The FINANCIAL SERVICES 17.4m, corresponding to a growth of 5.3% (+ 0.9m) compared to the same period of 2016.
Public debt products were the main drivers for the performance of this business unit in the 1st quarter. As a result of the foreseen elimination of the fixed premiums in the series C and D of the Savings Certificates, a strong turnover of investments by customers took place, with the redemptions of these series almost three times higher than in the same period of the previous year and a large part of these amounts being reinvested in Treasury -on-year growth of over 47%, attracting not only reinvestment from clients who redeemed Savings Certificates but also new savings investments transferred from other institutions, particularly bank deposits, given the continued drop in yields offered by those products (the average interest rate of new bank deposits up to 1 year for individuals was 0.30% in January 2017). Also worth mentioning is the conclusion of the renegotiation of the renewal of the placement agreement with the IGCP for the TCPM, with revenue becoming more stable throughout the year (commissions focused on the sales commission and without accumulated stock payments).
The transfers of funds business revenues decreased by 3.7% compared to the same period of 2016. The highlight therein is the international segment which posted growth in both lines of the offer, especially the International Money Orders area where the inbound segment grew by 28%, partly compensating for the continued decline of the payment of pensions and social benefits in the domestic market.
Worthy of note is also the very positive performance of the personal credit business where the number of intermediated loans in CTT, S.A. shows a significant growth, taking into account the transfer of this business to Banco CTT, which occurred in the meantime, in the best CTT post offices. The performance was even more positive in terms of production of new credit cards, which grew more than 14 times compared to the 1st quarter of 2016. comprehensive offering, including in banking services.
The 1 st quarter of 2017 marks the launch of the implementation of the CTT payments business transformation plan a commitment to diversification and innovation of the service, leveraging the potential of new technologies and the network of payment points (CTT post offices, Payshop agents and postal agencies). The business of services and means in the quarter, of which the following stand out positively: the revenues from the new services, the integrated payment solutions and the payment of government mostly taxes.
In this period, efforts were made towards continuing to increase the number of payment points, reaching 4,245 Payshop agents, the highest number ever reached. And the strategy of providing new value-added services continued, in particular through the launch of the CTT Expresso parcel pick-up and drop-off service in the network of PuDo agents mentioned above, and the integration of the offering of international transfers by Western Union at some agents.
The recurring revenues of BANCO CTT business unit r 1.1m in the 1st quarter of 2017 while in 2016 they almost did not exist given that the bank opened to the public on 18 March 2016.
One year after its opening, Banco CTT is installed countrywide in 203 CTT post offices, having earned the trust of over 150 thousand customers, evidenced in the opening of more than 114 thousand current accounts. These clients have established a relationship of trust and proximity with the bank, allowing for the growth of the institution, materialised in the capture of above 331 million euros of customer deposits.
From the 4 th quarter of 2016 onwards, Banco CTT began offering its customers consumer credit products in partnership with BNP Paribas Personal Finance. To be highlighted are also the results obtained in the field of consumer credit in the 1st quarter of the year, with a production of more than personal loans, above the total made by Banco CTT in 2016, and over 14 thousand credit cards sold in the period, which is also above the approximately 8,300 of the 4th quarter of 2016.
The 1st quarter of 2017 marked the launch of mortgage loans which expanded d its importance and support in the daily life of the Portuguese population. a simple and innovative product, which includes a fast and user-friendly simulator, the support of experts and a mobile application, called Casa Banco CTT, allowing the client to contact the bank until the deed of sale of the property, as well as to conveniently send the required documentation without the need to physically go to a branch. The launch without advertising took place on 26 January 2017 and the first deeds were held on 17 March 2017; this week, the range of tools of a strong, impactful offer was completed with the Housing Credit by Banco CTT fully on the market.
In the next nine months of the year, the bank's goal is to continue to grow rapidly in terms of clients, who bring resources, thus allowing to achieve scale. Other objectives will also be the monetisation of the client portfolio, through the growth of credit granted, both consumer credit and mortgage loans, always focusing on meeting the increasingly demanding needs of its customers. To do this, it will be fundamental to correspond and adapt to the market demands and environment, especially with regard to housing credit, where the conditions tend to be increasingly competitive. During this period, the bank will continue the planned opening of branches and expansion of its presence in some of the existing ones.

Recurring external supplies & services (ES&S) costs increased by .4m) year-on-year. The cost reductions resulting from the optimisation and rationalisation of the operations and the distribution networks integrationinitiatives did not offset theincreased costs, of which should be mentioned (i) + Banco CTT, (ii) + refer to rents of buildings given the increased operating needs operators and parcels, especially in Tourline with the expansion and strengthening of domestic routes 0.2m) and the creation of new routes associated with new clients ( 0.3m).
As far as staff costs 4.4m (+5.3%) increase in the recurring costs derives mainly from the following increased costs: (i) + Banco CTT staff, (ii) + -term contracted staff, (iii) sales incentives within the financial services area, m of health costs with active staff, mainly hospital and clinic expenses, and other social benefits, and (v) .9m in salaries (including holiday and Christmas bonuses) and charges on remuneration.
These increased costs were not offset by the reductions (i) resulting from the remuneration policy implemented which emphasises the variable component granted as employee profit-sharing (- 0.4m), and (ii) those related to compensations due as a result of the Company Agreement entered into in 2015 which ceased to be recognised in 2016 (- 0.9m).
There was a reduction of 137 permanent employees and an increase of 253 with fixed-term contracts. With special impact on this change is the reduction in the staff of the Express & Parcels business unit, as a consequence of the distribution networks integration and optimisation of the integrated networks process in Portugal, and the staff reduction in CTT, S.A. central services as a result of the human resources optimisation plan. Conversely, the number of Banco CTT staff increased inherent to its initial growth stage.
The increase in fixed-term contract employees focused on the Mail business unit, (i) in the operations area as a result of a higher absenteeism rate in the period and the necessary process adaptation to the integration of the

express mail delivery within the mail delivery network and (ii) in the Retail Network as a consequence of the necessary reorganisation to perform banking operations in the CTT post offices which involved a high inflow of clients wishing to open an account.
It is expected that in the future this client inflow will be gradually reduced, as the on boarding of clients stabilises to levels compatible with the number of post offices with Banco CTT branches. In turn, the bank will gradually expand to more CTT post offices in order to meet the demand.

Excluding the effect of the Altice revenues in the 1st quarter of 2016, the change in recurring EBITDA versus the same period of the previous year would have been -14.1% (- 4.6m).
It should be mentioned that even this recurring EBITDA is strongly affected by recurring costs with Banco CTT, which at this growth stage, still has no relevant income in relation to the structure already created. EBITDA of Banco CTT business unit decreased by -à-vis the 1st quarter of 2016. It is expected that as from the 3rd quarter of 2017 it will be better than that of the same period of 2016 due to revenues growth.
Not including these costs from Banco CTT and the revenues from the Altice agreement, the decrease in recurring EBITDA would have been 7.3% (-

TRANSFORMATION PROGRAMME2
OPTIMISATION OF OPERATIONS AND INTEGRATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS
In the 1st quarter of 2017, the restructuring of the operating cycle, as well as the expansion and review of the integration of the Mail and Express & Parcels distribution networks proceeded with a view to increasing the productivity.At this stage, it is intended to improve the efficiency of the integrated networks.
Following the initiatives carried out in recent years to better profit from the mail distribution capacity for the delivery of EMS, in the 1st quarter of 2017, approximately 76% of all the EMS volumes were delivered by the mail distribution network (69% in the same period of 2016). Given the reduced idle capacity of the Mail network, the need for hiring staff on fixed-term contracts to fill holiday periods and absenteeism has increased.
From January 2017, the operating process of Geocontacto (a CTT product) started to be fully undertaken by the mail network. This has allowed,on the one hand,to maximise other, to reduce the costs of outsourcing this activity.
2 Transformation Programme: set of projects selected every year as fundamental for the implementation of the CTT strategy.
Also noteworthy was the preparation during the 1st quarter for the implementation of the NARPEL (New Logistics Network Architecture) project involving changes to the EMS routing model, the video-coding operating model and several other changes to the operating models of the North and South Production and Logistics Centres.
Finally, due to its impact on the operation of international e-commerce volumes, it is worth noting the introduction of changes in activities related to Customs that aim to streamline processes.
CTT began in 2016 the implementation of its applications and infrastructures transformation plan, as defined in the IT Systems Strategic Plan and along with the current activity.
In the 1st quarter of 2017, in the field of transformation of applications and highlighting only the most important initiatives, the implementation of the new revenue assurance solution and of the CTT information management platform proceeded, and the following were provided: the support system for the new Mail Advertising (CTT Ads) offer, the New Modular Express & Parcels Offer and the web multi-product form as a the new model for posting contractual mail.
New Business Solutions services and new process integration models were completed and the second version of the CTT App was launched, while new services therefor are expected to be launched very soon. The ViaCTT and CTT Expresso Apps were developed, allowing for greater interactivity and increased offer of services and information to the final consumer/user.
The development of the Rental Management solution has started. This new web offerwill allowthe landlords who have rented houses or commercial premises to benefit from a rental management service on a selfservice basis.
In the area of transformation of infrastructures, the consolidation of the Windows servers pool has started, which allows for significant savings of maintenance costs and strong performance improvements. Also, the storage consolidation project has started with the aim of reducing maintenance costs, increasing performance and providing CTT with the new backup/replacement and data storage platform.
In January 2017, a new integrated advertising solutions service was launched that enables micro, small and medium-sized companies to design, produce and contract advertising campaigns through the online solution www.cttads.pt. This turnkey solution allows companies to manage their advertising campaigns autonomously, simply and effectively. For this, the user only has to define his/her communication goals and create his/her own campaign. CTT ensures all the rest of the process, from printing (Mailtec) to delivery of the messages via mail, email or SMS channels.
At this stage, when the customers are still experimenting the service, it has not yet originated the expected growth in advertising mail but the first indicators are positive: until the 1st quarter of 2017, 50 thousand accesses were counted, 2 thousand business customers have registered, and 3 thousand advertising campaigns designed.
Complying with the pricing criteria as defined by a decision of ANACOM of 21.11.20143 , the proposal on the prices of the universal postal service submitted by CTT on 31.01.2017, and subsequently adjusted 4 , was approved by ANACOM by a deliberation of 28.03.2017. The prices foreseen in said proposal, which met the defined pricing principles and criteria, entered into force on 04.04.2017. This update corresponds to a 2.4% annual average change of the price of the letter mail, editorial mail and parcels basket of services, excluding the offer of the universal service to bulk mail senders, to whom the special pricing arrangement applies. In terms of prices and as far as the special prices for postal services included in the universal postal service5 applicable to bulk mail senders are concerned, these were also updated on 04.04.2017, following a proposal submitted to the Regulator on 24.03.2017.
correspond to an average overall annual price change of 1.9% and also reflect the price update for reserved services (registered mail used in legal or administrative proceedings) and the special prices for bulk mail.
As regards the quality of the universal postal service, following the new Postal Law, as of 01.10.2016 the quality of service levels started to be measured by an independent external entity and its operation is carried out by an international company6 , which will ensure the operation of the measurement system throughoutthe current year. Following some deficiencies detected in the measurement process, this entity is currently implementing a number of improvements to the measurements.
By order of the Secretary of State for Infrastructures of 17.02.2017, following a proposal presented by ANACOM, the application of ten contractual fines, tota 151,000, was determined for the alleged breach of CTT obligations that are foreseen in the Concession Agreement of the Universal Postal Service, namely postal network density and minimum service offer obligations, for the period from 01.01.2014 to 30.06.2015.
Notwithstanding disagreeing with the decision that was made and because it is obliged to make the respective payment, CTT completed the payment of those contractual fines. As itfully states in its pronouncement, at a prior hearing, CTT continues to consider that there is no basis or opportunity for the application of contractual fines. CTT does not agree with the decision communicated and is evaluating its foundations and the legal means at its disposal.
As previously announced, on 15 December 2016, CTT entered into an agreement for the acquisition of the total - subject to a set of conditions precedent.
On 2 March 2017, CTT has been notified of the Competition Authority decision not to oppose it and, as the acquisition is still subject to other agreed suspensive conditions, diligence has been carried in order to ensure their speedy verification and it is expected that the purchase will be completed during the 2nd quarter of 2017.
This transac expansion and diversification strategy, both by adding to its portfolio a new offer of delivery of items above 30 kg and creating a new growth platform within the last-mile logistics, thus adding value to its customers.
3 Under article 14(3) of Law no. 17/2012, of 26 April (Postal Law), as amended by Decree-Law no. 160/2013, of 19 November, and Law no. 16/2014, of4 April.

In order to ensure the maximisation of the synergies resulting from this acquisition, a plan is underway to incorporate Transporta within the CTT universe; specifically, several workstreams were created, managers designated and objectives defined, encompassing the various areas and stages of integration.

The Annual General Meeting held on 20 April 2017 approved a resolution regarding (i) a decrease in the share capital representing a transferred to free reserves (through the reduction of the nominal value of eac a representing an increase (through the increase of the maintaining unchanged article 4(1) and (2) of the Articles of Association of CTT) to be carried out by way of incorporation of reserves in the caption retained earnings arising from revaluations of tangible fixe retained earnings in the amo commercial registration of said operation of share capital decrease and increase was submitted on 27 April 2017 and is already concluded.
The means of a new cash inflow from the Single Shareholder, CTT - Correios de Portugal, S.A., gave rise to the issuance of 40,000,000 new ordinary shares with no nominal value, in book-entry form and at an This capital increase, which is fully subscribed and paid up on 27 April 2017, is in line with the Plans for 2016-2018 and 2017-2019 approved by the Board of Directors of the bank on 17 November 2015 and 16 December 2016, as well as with the information communicated in the Capital Markets Day.
After a year of 2016 marked by the decrease in revenues, the 1stquarter of 2017 witnessed a growth in Sales and Services Rendered. This fact, combined with the projected gradual and growing contribution of the revenue-generating initiatives launched in recent months, allows to maintain the revenues growth expectation for 2017 with a greater contribution from growth levers such as Express & Parcels, Banco CTT and Financial Services, considering the continued stable performance of the Mail business unit revenues.
The 3.7% decrease in addressed mail volumes in the period, within the range of the expected rate of decrease arising from the normal substitution effect, allowed to confirm the expectation thatthe 7.2%drop in the 4thquarter of 2016 did not yet represent a more negative trend. The performance of the 2nd quarter of 2017 will be relevant to confirm the guidance for mail volumes decline for 2017, which will be important to support the consolidated revenues growth, as it is a fundamental condition to stabilise revenues in the Mail business unit, which will benefit from the positive impact of the price update of April.
The integration of Transporta in the 2nd half of 2017, after the closing of the acquisition expected in the 2nd quarter, will allow to expand the CTT offer in the area of Express & Parcels, further enhancing this growth lever. Together with this initiative in Portugal, the restructuring project in Spain should bring revenues growth to this business unit.
The growing impact on costs of the measures within the Transformation Programme2 , as well as the comparatively positive contribution of Banco CTT as from the 3rd quarter (compared to 2016), support the expectation of improved profitability of CTT at consolidated EBITDA level. This will underscore the potential to maximise the profitability potential of the CTT Group's businesses based on the use ofits unique networks.
2 Transformation Programme: set of projects selected every year as fundamental for the implementation of the CTT strategy.
CTT is considering non-organic growth opportunities to consolidate its business units as future growth levers. The achievement of these opportunities could foster the growth acceleration mentioned above and further maximise the economies of scale and scope of the Group.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements attached herewith are expressed in Euros, as this is the functional currency of the Group.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorised for issue on 28 April 2017.
The accounting policies adopted, including financial risk management policies, are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2016.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using accounting policies consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IAS / IFRS") as adopted by the European Union as at 1 January 2017, and in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.
In accordance with IFRS 8, the Group discloses the segment financial reporting.
The Board of Directors regularly reviews segmental reports, using them to assess and communicate each segment performance, as well as to decide on how to allocate resources.
The business of CTT is organised in the following segments:
The segments cover the three CTT business areas, as follows:
Besides the above mentioned segments, there are two sales channels, which are common to all businesses and products, the Retail Network and Sales Department. In this analysis, the Retail Network, which is connected to the obligations of the universal postal service concession, is incorporated in the Mail segment and integrates internal revenues related to the provision of services to other segments, as well as the sale in its network of third-party products and services.
The amounts reported in each business segment result from the aggregation of the subsidiaries and business units defined in each segment perimeter and the elimination of transactions between companies of the same segment.
The statement of financial position of each subsidiary and business unit is determined based on the amounts booked directly in the companies that compose the segment, including the elimination of balances between companies of the same segment, and excluding the allocation in the segments of the adjustments between segments.
The income statement for each business segment is based in the amounts booked directly in the between companies of the same segment.
However, as CTT, S.A. has assets in more than one segment it was necessary to split its income and costs by the various operating segments. The Internal Services Rendered refers to services provided across the different CTT, S.A. business areas, and the income is calculated according to standard activities valued through internally set transfer prices.
Initially, CTT, S.A. operating costs are affected to the different segments by charging the internal transactions for the services mentioned above. After this initial allocation, cost relating to corporate and support areas (Central Structure CTT) previously unallocated, are allocated among the segments Mail and Financial Services according to the average number of CTT, S.A. employees affected to each of these segments.
With the allocation of all costs, the earnings before depreciation, provisions, impairments, financial results and taxes by segment in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016 are analyzed as follows:
