REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

31 March 2016

Management Report Sonae Investimentos – S.G.P.S., S.A.

In accordance with Portuguese Law and the company's articles of association, we hereby present the management report of Sonae Investimentos - S.G.P.S., S.A. for the first three months of 2016.

ACTIVITY EVOLUTION FOR THE PERIOD

During the course of the first three months of 2016, the consolidated turnover of Sonae Investimentos totalled 1,179 million euros, which corresponds to an increase of 6.4% when compared to the same period in the previous year.

The Company's operating cash-flow (EBITDA) reached 107 million euros, which represents a 103% increase versus last year (+54 million euros). This evolution was, in particular, positively influenced by the completion of Sale & Lease Back operations of retail assets by Sonae RP, which generated capital gains of circa 64 million euros. It should be noted that, despite the completion of these transactions Sonae RP will continue to pursue opportunities to monetise additional assets. Additionally, the EBITDA positive evolution also benefitted from the increase in the contribution of Sonae SR, which included Losan, a company specialised in fashion wholesale, which was acquired in the last quarter of 2015.

The evolution of EBITDA also includes the reduction of the contribution of Sonae MC, which remains affect by the highly competitive market environment in food retail. However, despite this decrease in EBITDA contribution, this was a quarter in which Sonae MC reverted the trend of L4L sales decrease.

Overall, EBITDA margin stood at 9.1% of turnover (+4.3pp above the first three months of 2015).

Operating results (EBIT), increased to 59 million euros in the period, and increase of 49 million euros when compared to the first three months of 2015. This performance implies that operational results margin amounted to 5.0% of turnover, increasing 4.1pp over last year's.

Sonae Investimentos consolidated net result in the first three months of 2016 totalled 32 million euros, 38 million euros above the comparable period of 2015.

At the end of March, Sonae Investimentos detained an overall portfolio of 1,383 stores, corresponding to a sales area of 1,117 thousand m2. During the period, the company continued to evolve its store network in both national and international markets. Sonae SR continued to consolidate its store networks and had, in particular, a total of 177 stores outside of Portugal, including 63 under franchising agreements.

Sonae MC also continued to further develop its store network, opening 1 Continente, 3 Continente Bom Dia, 15 Meu Super Stores (all under franchise agreements), 4 Well's (2 of which under franchise agreements), 1 Bom Bocado / Bagga and 1 note!.

In parallel to the expansion effort, the company carried out a refurbishment programme in a number of retail units so as to ensure they remain as a reference in their respective catchment areas. Total investment amounted to 56 million euros during the first three months of the year (46 million euros in 2015 comparable period).

OUTLOOK

Sonae Investimentos strategic guidelines privilege growth and the strengthening of the value proposition based on a continued investment in efficiency and innovation. This positioning, consistently adopted by the Company, has allowed for the combination of strong growth rhythms with strong profitability benchmarks, and once again will be at the basis of the Company´s performance during the course of the next months.

On 31 March 2016, are included in "Other Investments", among others 9,992,791 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 23 and 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 24). It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, based on legal opinions of Brazilian and Portuguese lawyers that the reason attends to Sonae Investimentos.

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

7 TANGIBLE ASSETS

During the three months period ended at 31 March 2016 and 2015, movements in tangible assets as well as depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, are made up as follows:

on tax claims 938,460,965 929,791,189
on judicial claims 823,626 624,472
on municipal claims 8,207,876 8,268,603
for proper agrement fulfillment 13,701,767 17,165,647
other guarantees 7,062,168 4,940,068

a) Tax claims

The main tax claims, for which bank guarantees or sureties were provided, can be detailed as follows:

  • Some retail operating segment subsidiaries of the Company granted guarantees or securities in favour of the Portuguese Tax Administration, associated with tax claims for additional VAT payment amounting to 525.5 million euro (520 million euro as at 31 December 2015) 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 144.3 million euro (144.3 million euro as at 31 December 2015), in favour of Tax authorities regarding 2007 up to 2012. 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 advisors 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 that period as Tax authorities did not accept the recognition of tax losses incurred after the liquidation of a subsidiary of Sonae Investimentos, since it considered that the cover of losses in that subsidiary should not be part of its acquisition cost, which is not in accordance with previous assessments of Tax Authorities;

  • 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, 15.9 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 32.8 million euro (135 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 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 (RERD) e Decree of Law 248-A/2002 (PMFL)), the Group made voluntarily 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) Contingent liabilities related to discontinued activities in subsidiaries in Brazil

In addition to the previously disclosed guarantees, as a consequence of the sale 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 2015, 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 31.4 million at 31 December 2015).

Furthermore, there are other tax assessments totalling 44.5 million euro (86.4 million euro at 31 December 2014) 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 Investimentos.

Sonae FS is a new business unit, which coordinates financial services. This segment includes the newly created "Cartão Universo", the "Cartão Dá", Continente Money Transfer and credit services in store. In the sequence of getting a license from the Bank of Portugal to operate as an electronic currency operation, Sonae FS created the "Cartão Universo" in order to be able to offer payment services and issuing credit cards. Sonae FS was designated as the main issuer of Mastercard, which allows issuing MasterCard cards in their own name. The structure of this new segment is already created, but only in 2016 will initiate the reporting of financial and operational indicators.

The Investment Management operating segment includes a company that operates in the retail DIY products, building and garden (Maxmat), insurance brokers (MDS), nevertheless the Group decided to include this operating segment in "Others, eliminations and adjustments".

These operating segments have been identified taking into consideration that each of these segments has separate identifiable revenues and costs, separate financial information is produced, and its operating results are reviewed by management on which it makes decisions.

30 PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

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: (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 non-core 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 is only calculated in the direct income component, excluding the indirect contributions.

The reconciliation between consolidated income and direct-indirect income for the periods ended 31 March 2016 and 2015 can be summarised as follows:

31 March 2016 31 March 2015
