1 HIGHLIGHTS and CEO's message

  • Sonae consolidated turnover increased 6.7%, to €3,882 M
  • Sonae MC grew turnover by 5.3% in 9M16, enhanced by a growth of 8.4% in 3Q16
  • Worten grew turnover by 1.3% and raised EBITDA by almost €7 M in 9M16
  • Sports and Fashion registered a material EBITDA improvement of €10 M in 9M16
  • Sonae Sierra successfully opened ParkLake, an innovative Shopping Centre in Bucharest
  • NOS increased revenues well ahead of the market
  • Sonae refinanced credit facilities in the amount of €780 M since the beginning of 3Q16, further strengthening its balance sheet and improving overall funding conditions

"The third quarter was undeniably positive for Sonae. On a consolidated basis we enjoyed double-digit growth in turnover and EBITDA, we improved the competitive standing of our main businesses and we continued to strengthen our capital structure.

On a comparable basis, all of our retail businesses grew, most notably Continente which retained its status as the acknowledged price leader in the market.

Sonae Sierra successfully opened ParkLake, the first Sierra shopping centre developed in Romania and maintained high occupancy rates and profitability levels in European and Brazilian operations.

In telecommunications NOS remained as the operator with highest turnover growth in the market, continued to improve profitability and secured a pivotal position in the management of sport content.

In the year-on-year comparison, consolidated debt at the end of the period continued to decline, and currently has a lower cost and extended maturity, reflecting a more robust balance sheet.

All in all, comforted by the success of adopted strategies, and standing on a greater financial strength, we face future challenges with renewed confidence."

Ângelo Paupério, Sonae Co-CEO

Sonae consolidated turnover stood at €3,882 M, increasing 6.7% when compared to the same period of 2015, benefiting from the positive performance of all the businesses with the exception of RP, driven by the sale and leaseback transactions completed over the course of 2015 and in 1Q16.

Sonae EBITDA increased €9 M, to €301 M, mostly driven by:

  • (i) a €17 M recovery of SR underlying EBITDA: amounting to approximately €7 M at Worten and €10 M at Sports and Fashion (which includes the positive contribution of legacy businesses, namely Sport Zone and Zippy, as well as the integration of the acquired companies Losan and Salsa); and,
  • (ii) the impact of MC investment in price and store network expansion, which has resulted in a €5 M reduction in underlying EBITDA.

Driven by the combination of the lower average net debt and in particular by the lower cost of outstanding debt, Sonae net financial activity improved by €15 M, registering a negative €37 M in 9M16. Sonae average interest rate of outstanding debt continued to decrease and reached 1.4% on September 30th 2016. It should be noted that Sonae financial results exclude Sonae Sierra and NOS businesses.

Sonae direct results amounted to €120 M, increasing 18.1% on a yearly basis. This was driven by less negative net financial activity and taxes, notwithstanding the lower EBIT.

Sonae indirect results reached €21 M, including the positive effect of the valuation of Sierra's assets in 1H16, the opening of ParkLake in Romania in 3Q16 and the capital gain related to the sale of the 2.14% direct stake in NOS on June 15th 2016. It should be noted that the mark-to-market effect of NOS is included in indirect results until the completion of its sale to Zopt.

Sonae shareholders' funds stood at €2,016 M at the end of 9M16, €171 M above 9M15. Sonae net debt reached €1,248 M, decreasing 4.9% in comparison to 9M15.

Average gearing at book value reached 0.7x, remaining broadly flat in comparison with last year. Average gearing at market value stood at 0.8x, increasing y.o.y. driven by Sonae's market price, as net debt decreased.

Sonae continues to focus on presenting a robust capital structure, optimising funding costs whilst maintaining sufficient back up liquidity and an improved maturity profile (which is currently above 4 years). Sonae started in the 3Q16 an ambitious program to further strengthen the capital structure by launching a formal tender with local and international banks for the refinancing of its facilities, having already refinanced more than €430 M in long-term facilities and around €350 M in short-term facilities. Accordingly, Sonae totally fulfilled its practice of being fully financed for the next 18 months and at the same time improved its general funding conditions.

Net financial debt of MC, SR and RP stood at €726 M in 9M16, €31 M above 9M15, driven by the cash-out related to the acquisition of 50% of Salsa, coupled with the consolidation of Salsa's debt. The net debt to EBITDA at MC, SR and RP stood at 2.0x, increasing when compared to 9M15, driven by the higher net debt.

Holding net debt reached €517 M, decreasing 12.3% y.o.y. and benefiting from the sale of the direct participation at NOS. Loan-to-value ratio of the holding stood at 11%, decreasing in relation to 9M15, benefiting from the lower holding net debt.

Sonae Capex increased from €171 M to €293 M, mostly due to Sonae SR:

  • MC Capex increased €40 M to €114 M, motivated by the acceleration of the store network expansion, which includes the opening of 14 Continente Bom Dia stores, 1 Continente hypermarket and 14 Well's stores;

  • SR Capex reached €119 M in 9M16, growing materially y.o.y. mostly impacted by the Capex related to the acquisition of Salsa, which occurred on June 30th 2016;

  • RP Capex totalled €42 M in 9M16, growing by €6 M y.o.y. mostly driven by MC store network expansion and future developments;

  • IM Capex reached €15 M in 9M16, increasing €8 M when compared to 9M15, impacted by the technology area.

Turnover and Underlying EBITDA evolution

Over the last quarters, MC has been focused on the implementation of various measures aimed at improving Continente value proposition, which included price perception, communicating the distinctive products' offer (especially for perishables and exclusive brands) and also launching innovative promotions. MC LfL sales performance totalled 4.1% in 3Q16 and 1.8% in 9M16. It is worth highlighting that DECO, the Portuguese Consumers' Association, has recently published the results of its most recent price survey covering the entire country, ranking Continente again as the price leader in Portugal.

At the same time, MC remained focused on implementing its strategy of store network expansion through convenience formats, namely Continente Bom Dia proximity own stores with average sales area slightly below 1 thousand sqm, and Meu Super - franchised local food stores with average sales area around 300 sqm. Accordingly, MC opened 14 Continente Bom Dia stores and 54 Meu Super stores in 9M16, which has contributed towards a MC turnover increase of 5.3% y.o.y., to €2,685 M, which includes a material growth of 8.4% in 3Q16. This strategy has allowed MC not only to defend but also to increase its leading market share.

Despite this strong expansion effort combined with a continuous price investment to face the still strong competitive environment, MC underlying EBITDA margin reached 5.5%, 50bps below 9M15.

Worten Turnover and Underlying EBITDA evolution

Sports and Fashion Turnover and Underlying EBITDA evolution

Worten division continued to be focused on increasing its EBITDA, which raised from €2 M to €9 M y.o.y., benefiting from the improvement of the results in all operations: Portugal, Spain mainland, Canary Islands and omni-channel, thus reinforcing its position in the Iberian market.

Operationally, the team further implemented its omni-channel strategy in Iberia, leveraging on its physical store network and e-commerce presence. Accordingly, omni-channel sales maintained the increasing trend fuelled by a significant growth of online sales close to 20%. Importantly, it should be noted that Worten posted LfL sales growth of 6.7% in 3Q16.

Importantly, during 9M16, Worten store network was reinforced particularly driven by refurbishments, especially in Spain, allowing to reach important goals in sales area productivity. The sales per sqm continued to grow, increasing by 7% y.o.y..

In what concerns the Sports and Fashion division, which includes Sport Zone, Mo and Zippy, as well as the acquired businesses: Losan – a wholesale player specialised in kids wear, and Salsa – a recognised jeanswear brand, turnover grew by 28.3% in 9M16, to €374. This growth benefited from the positive contribution of Zippy and Sport Zone, but also from the consolidation of Losan and Salsa results. Both acquired brands have a strong international presence as well as a proven track record and will contribute towards reinforcing Sports and Fashion competencies.

The Sports and Fashion EBITDA improved significantly by €10 M in 9M16, to negative €1 M, reaching €9 M in 3Q16. The legacy businesses, namely Sport Zone and Zippy, had a positive contribution to this evolution. It should be noted that Sport Zone in Spain continued to register a positive y.o.y. EBITDA contribution. Regarding Mo, despite the recent efforts in rebalancing its value proposition, the performance of this brand was still below expectations.

SR turnover stood at €1,008 M in 9M16, posting an increase of 9.9% when compared to 9M15, backed by both Worten and Sports and Fashion divisions. As for SR EBITDA, it stood at €8 M in 9M16, posting a material improvement y.o.y., driven by both SR divisions.

RP manages Sonae's retail real estate portfolio and currently includes real estate assets with a net book value amounting to €909 M.

RP completed 3 sale and leaseback transactions in the amount of €230 M in 9M16, equivalent to a capital gain of approximately €63 M. This strategy enabled releasing capital from mature real estate assets while also maintaining adequate operational flexibility. MC's freehold is now at 51%, moving closer to the stated target freehold level. At the end of 9M16, MC's real estate portfolio included 22 Continente stores, 62 Continente Modelo stores and 21 Continente Bom Dia stores. As for SR's freehold, it stood at 22% as of 9M16.

RP turnover decreased 24.9%, to €69 M, driven mostly by freehold reduction at MC, from 62% in 9M15, to 51% at the end of 9M16. The underlying EBITDA amounted to €60 M, corresponding to an underlying EBITDA margin of 87.2%.

It should be noted that RP has been responsible for a considerable part of MC's convenience store network expansion. Accordingly, RP Capex as of 9M16 stood at €42 M and grew by €6 M y.o.y..

In the Technology arm, IM turnover reached €88 M, decreasing 0.8% when compared to 9M15. Underlying EBITDA amounted to €3 M, which translates into an Underlying EBITDA margin of 3.6%.

(1) Includes investment properties at open market value and development properties at cost.

Sierra has been further implementing its recycling capital strategy by reducing exposure to more mature shopping malls and reinvesting in developing others:

  • ParkLake was opened in September 1st and is the first Sierra's development in Romania. It represents an investment of €180 M and comprises over 200 stores in 70 thousand sqm. The results so far exceed our best expectations. Indirect results in 3Q16 reached €20 M, benefiting from the positive effect of the value created in the Parklake development. Additionally, Sierra has 5 projects under development: Nuremberg (Germany), Zenata (Morocco), Malaga Designer Outlet (Spain), NorteShopping Expansion (Portugal) and Cucuta (Colombia).
  • Over the last 12 months, Sonae Sierra sold Colombo Tower (Portugal), Zubiarte (Spain), Loop 5 (Germany), Boavista Shopping (Brazil), diluted 25% in the Sierra Portugal Fund and also reduced the ownership of AlgarveShopping, Estação Viana Shopping and Luz del Tajo (following the closing of a partnership with CBRE Global Investment Partners). Consequently, on September 30th 2016, the Investment and Development Properties attributable to Sierra reached €1.968 bn, €160 M below the 2015 year-end, driven by the effect of the disposals, which more than off-set the investments in projects under development, the positive exchange rate effect in the Brazilian real (closing rate 9M16 vis-à-vis closing rate 12M15) and assets revaluation.

On the operational side, Sierra further proved the quality of its assets:

  • In Europe, tenant sales increased 2.5%, to €2,286 M, corresponding to an increase in LfL tenant sales of 3.3% and occupancy rates increased further to 97.1%;
  • In Brazil, tenant sales reached 0.4% in LfL terms, returning to a positive trend although declining 3.5% y.o.y. to 3,236 M reais, due to the still challenging macroeconomic environment. Despite this, occupancy rates are already registering a small recovery.

Sierra's turnover reached €150 M, a decrease of 7.2% when compared to 9M15, only driven by the asset disposals already mentioned. The EBIT stood at €71 M, less 7.7% y.o.y., corresponding to an EBIT margin of 46.9%. Excluding the portfolio changes and the exchange rate effect mentioned previously, EBIT increased 5% as a consequence of higher rental income and higher services rendered mainly to clients outside Sierra's shopping centre portfolio.

NAV (Net Asset Value) reached €1.286 bn at the end of 9M16, €107 M above December 2015, reflecting both the direct and indirect results of the period, the favourable exchange rate effect less the dividends payment. Loan-to-value stood at 30% in 9M16, compared to a value of 42% in 9M15.

The value of the "Effect of equity and non-controlling interests" mainly results of the effect of currency translation figures of companies with a functional currency different form euro and from the sale of the direct participation in NOS (2.14%).

As established in the shareholder's agreement between Sonaecom, Kento Holding Limited and Jadeium BV (currently named Unitel International Holdings, BV), on 14 June 2016, Sonaecom sold all its direct participation in NOS (2.14%) to ZOPT by the amount of euro 82,840,847 (Note 11). This transaction generated a capital gain of 18,725,887, being 50% of the capital gain annulled through Reserves and the other 50% registered in Gains and losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, the transaction also gave impact on equity equivalence recorded through reserves by reducing the fair value of 2.14% of non-controlling interests.

  • 2) Participation disposed in the period;
  • 3) Ex Cooper Gay Sweet & Crawford, Ltd.

On 30 September 2016, are included in "Other investments" 9,976,138 euro (9,996,932 euro as at 31 December 2015), related to deposited amounts on an Escrow Account which is invested in investment funds with superior rating and contractual liability guarantees assumed in the disposal of a Sonae Distribuição Brazil and for which provisions were recorded in the applicable situations (Note 24).

Although in accordance with the deadlines contractually established, the Escrow Account should have already been released by the buyer, that didn't happen as there are some points of disagreement on the use of the Escrow Account, namely as whether or not, to retain the Escrow Account for on-going fiscal procedures that have not yet been decided (Note 25). It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, based on legal opinions of Brazilian and Portuguese lawyers that the reason attends to Sonae.

Financial investment in ED Broking LLP (Ex Cooper Gay Sweet & Crawford, Ltd) maintained its fair value at 31 December 2015 as it was considered that there are no material valuation differences. The financial participation in Cooper Gay Sweet & Crawford Ltd was measured at its fair value as at 31 December 2015 taking into consideration the multiples of EBITDA or multiples of sales by region and the transaction price of the United States of America operation sold in February 2016. The value of Ed Broking LLP is net of impairment in the value of 1,517,355 euro.

In 2015, the company recorded a consolidated turnover of 106 million euro, 56% of which is generated out of Portugal.

This acquisition fits in Sonae's strategic pillars, namely international expansion, diversification of investment styles and the reinforcement of the base of assets and competencies.

The purchase price allocation can be done within one year of the date of acquisition as allowed by IFRS3 – Business Combinations.

As at 30 September 2016, 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 23). 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.

Considering the operations mentioned above, the amount of the liability recorded amounts to 82,578,235 euro (Note 23) (103,602,523 euro as at 31 December 2015) reflecting the market value of 110,398,710 Sonae Holding shares (118,663,355 shares as at 31 December 2015).

The value of these liabilities is adjusted at the end of each month by the effect of Sonae Holding share price variation being recognized an asset / liabilities current 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 Euribor 1 month are recognized in the income statement.

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

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 issued.

The liability component is recorded at the amortized cost based on the market rate.

The Bonds were issued at par with a nominal value of 100,000 euro (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.

20 DERIVATIVES

Exchange rate derivatives

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

Thus Sonae entered into several exchange rate "forwards" and options 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 294,604 euro as liabilities (860,503 euro as at 31 December 2015) and 870,226 euro as assets (1,983,962 euro as at 31 December 2015).

The determination of the fair value of these financial instruments was made taking into account the present value at statement of financial position 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 "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 fair value of derivative instruments when considered speculation is recorded in the income statement under "Other Costs".

In both cases, the acquisition can be exercised during the period commencing on the third anniversary of the grant date and the end of that year.

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 regarding the portfolio of Sonae: (i) impairment of real estate assets for retail, (ii) decreases in goodwill, (iii) provisions (net of tax) for possible future liabilities, and impairments related to noncore investments, businesses and discontinued assets (or to be discontinued / repositioned), (iv) valuation results based on the methodology "mark-to-market" of other current investments that will be sold or traded in the near future and (v) other irrelevant issues. The value of EBITDA and EBIT are only calculated in the direct income component, excluding the indirect contributions.

The reconciliation between the two formats for the consolidated income statement for the periods ended 30 September 2016 and 2015 can be summarised as follows:
