Message from joint CEOs Rui Correia and João Paulo Pinto

"As expected 3Q11 activity was affected by normal seasonal shutdowns which led to lower capacity utilization and a deterioration in the dilution of fixed costs. Nevertheless, we were able to keep our Recurrent EBITDA margin at a level close to 9% of turnover supported by significant operational efficiency gains.

When comparing 9M11 with 9M10, we achieved a much better performance, which was translated into a 2pp increase in Recurrent EBITDA margin and a 6% growth in turnover. This positive evolution is a combined effect of a better customer management, and an extensive efficiency improvement program.

Over the last quarters, we have been dedicating special attention to the strategic directions that we want to pursue in order to significantly improve performance, namely: (i) people and team development, (ii) operational excellence and innovation, (iii) market focus with a reliable integrated offer, and (iv) competitive sites with a secure supply of wood. In order to achieve operational excellence, we have launched a structured program to develop best practices and knowledge transfer, enhanced by a lean manufacturing approach. Targeting a clear focus on customer needs and an integrated offer of valued added products, we have launched the global Innovus collection which is gaining increasing acceptance by our customers. In order to improve wood supply, we increased the flexibility of raw material usage by investing in Canada to increase the usage of recycled wood in our most recent production line. These projects, together with other activities still to be launched, will allow us to further improve our customer satisfaction and increase our efficiency.

Looking into the future, we have decided to expand our MDF production capacity in South Africa, in order to increase our market share in this promising market. Investments that are already ongoing will enable us to increase MDF production by 50% by the middle of 2012, with the aim of more than doubling production in the next 2 years.

Although the macroeconomic environment has been weakening, due to the sovereign debt crisis in some European countries, we are confident that we will continue to improve our performance, on the back of efficiency gains and better customer management. We are counting on our team to further develop and spread across all areas of our organization a culture of excellence and innovation focused on our customers, in order to create sustainable value for our shareholders."

Geographical Review of Operations

Iberia

Iberia continued to experience tough market conditions due to the macroeconomic situation and the consequent announcement of austerity measures, namely in Portugal, which are causing a very depressed economic environment with some impacts already felt on demand. The number

of new housing permits granted in Portugal is 20%1 below last year (YoY) as well as those in Spain 12%2 (YoY).

In spite of facing this situation, comparing 9M11 with 9M10, volumes sold from Iberia increased by 4% and turnover by 7% to 293 million Euros, demonstrating our competitive position. Nevertheless, recurrent EBITDA margin declined from 8.3% to 7.5% due to the 9% higher production costs.

- - - Recurrent EBITDA % under the same fixed cost allocation methodology as used last year

During this quarter, Recurrent EBITDA margin was negatively affected by the seasonal lower capacity utilization (due to planned annual maintenance shutdowns), which implied higher fixed costs per unit produced. However, there is also a significant accounting effect which negatively impacted our recurrent EBITDA margin, which is related to adopting a different fixed cost allocation methodology, between the quarters, applied since the beginning of 2011. Under the same cost allocation basis as used last year, Recurrent EBITDA would have only declined 1pp to 8% (instead 5pp to 5%) when comparing 3Q11 with 2Q11.

Central Europe (Germany, France and the UK)

In Central Europe, activity has been recovering, resulting in higher turnover in this region. Nevertheless, recurrent EBITDA margin was kept at the same level, due to higher variable costs, particularly chemicals.

In Germany, new house construction permits were 23%3 up (YoY), indicating that the market recovered when compared with last year, but at a slower pace when compared to 1H11. During 9M11, compared to 9M10, volumes sold increased by 5% and turnover moved 15% up. These effects led to a higher recurrent EBITDA margin, when compared to the previous year. Due to seasonal summer closures, 3Q11 capacity utilization was below 2Q11.

In France, demand from the construction and furniture segments remains weak, but there are some positive leading indicators, such as housing permits, which increased by 12%4 (YoY). Comparing 9M11 with 9M10, volumes sold increased by 6% and turnover by 15%. This effect combined with higher operational efficiencies, impacted positively the recurrent EBITDA margin.

In the UK, government austerity measures are still constraining demand. Nevertheless, the value of new housing orders recovered by 7%5 (YoY). In June there was a fire at our UK plant, which has interrupted normal production activity since then. The reconstruction process is progressing as planned. Interim measures are in place to allow restricted output levels from 4Q11 with the final reconstruction to be concluded in 3Q12. Continuity of supply has been maintained by providing boards to UK customers from other European plants.

In Central Europe, comparing 9M11 with 9M10, and in spite of having sold the Lure plant which represented 11% of our production capacity in this region, turnover increased by 11% and the recurrent EBITDA margin increased by 5pp, illustrating the effectiveness of the restructuring and efficiency measures already implemented.

Rest of the World (Canada and South Africa)

Our performance in Canada and South Africa reflects a combination of mixed market trends and some specific impacts which make direct comparisons difficult.

In North America, US housing starts fell by 4%6 , while Canadian housing decreased by 3%7 , resulting in a weaker market, compared to 2010. Compared to 9M10, 9M11 turnover in local currency has fallen by 5% and volumes declined by 6%. These effects combined with higher variable costs, led to a decline in the recurrent EBITDA margin. However, the value added part of the business continues to strengthen.

In South Africa, residential building permits posted a YoY increase of 9%8 . Volumes sold in 9M11, compared with 9M10, increased by 7% and turnover in local currency moved 6% up. However, the recurrent EBITDA margin is slightly lower, as a result of higher production costs, particularly for wood and electricity.

For the Rest of the World, comparing 9M11 to 9M10, turnover remained flat and the recurrent EBITDA margin decreased by 2pp to 15% due to the higher variable costs.

Financial Review of 9M11

Consolidated turnover in 9M11 totalled 1,034 million Euros, representing a 6% increase compared to 9M10. The Recurrent EBITDA margin increased 2pp up to 8%. This margin improvement mainly results from stronger market and operational efficiency gains in Germany and France.

Net financial charges in 9M11 are 4 million Euros above 9M10, mainly due to higher interest rates.

Net losses in 9M11 were 54 million Euros, significantly affected by charging non-operational provisions of 28 million Euros.

Working Capital9 decreased by 7 million Euros during 3Q11, mainly due to a decrease of 11 million Euros in the Trade Debtors account. When compared 9M11 to the same period of last year, working capital was reduced by 6 million Euros.

Additions to Fixed Assets in 9M11 were close to 21 million Euros, of which 18 million Euros are mostly related to investments in maintenance, Health & Safety and Environmental improvements. Around 3 million Euros were already invested in a project in Canada to increase the capacity of recycled wood utilization in our most recent production line.

Compared to 1H11, Net debt during 3Q11 was reduced by 4 million Euros. The Net Debt to Recurrent EBITDA ratio for the last 12 months is 7.6x, which is down from 10.0x, one year ago.

Looking Forward

We expect to be able to continue to improve performance when compared with same periods of the previous year, supported by operational efficiency gains and better market positioning.

We will closely monitor the macroeconomic environment to try to anticipate eventual impacts in the markets for our products.

9 Working Capital = Inventories + Trade Debtors – Trade Creditors

We will focus on the implementation of the initiatives aligned with our strategic guidelines in order to achieve short and long term operational improvements, optimising capital employed and managing the refinancing of our balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2011 (Amounts expressed in euros)

1. INTRODUCTION

SONAE INDÚSTRIA, SGPS, SA has its head-office at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Apartado 1096, 4470-909 Maia, Portugal.

The shares of the company are listed on Euronext Lisbon.

These consolidated financial statements were not subject to a limited revision by the company's statutory external auditor.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The present set of consolidated financial statements has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies that were disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for 2010.

2.1. Basis of Preparation

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. As such, they do not include all the information which should be included in annual consolidated financial statements and therefore should be read in connection with the financial statements for 2010.

2.2. Changes to accounting standards

2.2.1. Changes applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011

IAS 32 (amendment), 'Financial Instruments: Presentation – classification of issued rights. This change refers to the recognition of issued rights denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting entity. If rights are issued pro-rata for a fixed amount denominated in any currency, they are handled as equity transactions to be classified through Net Shareholders' Funds. Otherwise, rights should be recognized as liability derivative instruments.

IFRS 1 (amendment), 'First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards'. This change allow entities adopting IFRS for the first time to use the same transition rules included in IFRS 7 – 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures', which exempts the entity from disclosing comparative information regarding fair value classification through the three classes required by IFRS 7, as long as comparative periods end 31 December 2009.

IAS 24 (amendment), 'Related Parties'. This amendment withdraws general requirements for public entities to disclose related party information. However, the reporting entity should disclose its relation with the State and any transactions held with the State or State related entities. Furthermore, the definition of related party has been changed so as to eliminate inconsistency in identifying and disclosing related party information.

2010 Annual Improvements on Standards, to apply mostly to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2011. These improvements affected IFRS 1, IFRS 3, IFRS 7, IAS 1, IAS 27, IAS 34 and IFRC 13.

IFRIC 14 (amendment), 'IAS 19 - The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction'. This amendment clarifies that a positive balance from voluntary advance payments on account of future minimum contributions may be recognized as an asset.

IFRIC 19 (new), Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments'. This interpretation clarifies the accounting treatment to be adopted when an entity renegotiate the terms of a borrowing resulting in its payment through issuance of equity instruments. A gain or a loss will be recognized through profit or loss based on the fair value of issued equity instruments compared with the borrowing carrying amount. The mere reclassification of borrowings to net shareholders' funds is not permitted.

The application of these standards and interpretations has not produced significant effects on these consolidated financial statements.

2.2.2. Changes issued at 1 September 2011 that are to be applied in periods beginning thereafter

IFRS 1 (amendment), 'First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. This amendment aims to include a specific exemption for entities that formerly operated in hyperinflationary economies and that will adopt IFRS for the first time. This exemption allows the entity to recognize some assets and liabilities at fair value and to use fair value as deemed cost on its first financial statements under IFRS. Furthermore, it replaces references to specific dates for "transition date to IFRS" regarding the exemption from retrospective application of IFRS.

IRFS 7 (amendment), 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures' – transfer of financial assets (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 July 2011). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. This change to IFRS 7 refers to disclosure requirements relating financial assets transferred to third parties but not derecognized from the balance sheet because of related liabilities kept by the entity.

IAS 12 (amendments), 'Income Taxes' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. This change requires entities to recognize deferred taxes related to assets if entities expect to recover the carrying amount of assets through use or sale, except for investment properties at fair value. This amendment includes in IAS 12 the principles formerly included in SIC 21, which is withdrawn.

IAS 1 (amendment), 'Presentation of Financial Statements' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. This amendment requires entities to separately present items recognized as Other Comprehensive Income, depending on whether they might or might not be taken through profit or loss, and the related tax effect, if items are presented before tax.

IFRS 9 (new), 'Financial Instruments' – classification and measurement (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. IFRS 9 refers to the first phase of the new standard on financial instruments and includes two measurement categories: amortized cost and fair value. All financial instruments are to be measured at fair value. A debt instrument is measured at

amortized cost only when the entity owns it to receive contractual cash flows and these ones represent face value and interest. Otherwise, debt instruments are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

IFRS 10 (new), 'Consolidated Financial Statements' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. IFRS 10 replaces all control and consolidation principles included in IAS 27 and SIC 12. Definition of control is changed, along with criteria used for determining control. The base principle that consolidated financial statements present parent company and subsidiaries as an only entity remains unchanged.

IFRS 11 (new) 'Joint Arrangements' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. IFRS 11 focus on the rights and obligations of joint arrangements rather than on the legal form. Joint arrangements might be Joint Operations (rights over assets and liabilities) or Joint Ventures (rights to the net assets through application of Equity Method). Proportionate consolidation is no longer permitted.

IFRS 12 (new), 'Disclosure of Interests in Other Companies' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. This standard sets out disclosure requirements for all types of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates and special purpose entities, in order to assess the nature, risk and financial effects related to interest in other companies. An entity may disclose some or all the information without having to fully apply IFRS 12 or IFRS 10 and 11 and IAS 27 and 28.

IFRS 13 (new), 'Fair Value Measurement' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. IFRS 13 aims to increase consistency by precisely defining fair value and being the only source of requirements to measure and disclose fair value across IFRSs.

IAS 27 (revised 2011), 'Separate Financial Statements', (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This amendment is pending European Union endorsement. IAS 27 was revised after IFRS 10 was issued and contains the recognition and disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint arrangements and associates in an entity's separate financial statements.

IAS 28 (revised 2011), 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures', (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). IAS 28 was revised after IFRS 11 was

issued and sets out the recognition criteria for investments in associates along with the requirements for applying equity method.

IAS 19 (amendment), 'Employee Benefits' (applicable to periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013). This amendment includes significant changes to recognition and measurement of defined benefit costs and termination costs along with changes to disclosures related to all kinds of employee benefits. Actuarial gains and losses should be immediately recognized through Other Comprehensive Income (the corridor method is not allowed). Finance cost of plans with asset funds is calculated over the net basis of unfunded liability.

The application of these standards will affect the accounting policies currently used by the Group. At the closing date of these consolidated financial statements it was not possible to estimate the effect of those changes in the financial statements of the period they will be applied for the first time.

3. RELEVANT FACTS

On June 10, 2011 a fire broke out at the subsidiary Sonae Industria (UK), Limited, damaging and disabling buildings and equipments used for storage of treated recycled wood and for preparation of wood particle. As a consequence, the company was forced to stop its particleboard production. This constraint has been overcome by imports from

other group subsidiaries, which enabled the company to proceed with the remaining industrial processes available in this industrial facility along with its commercial activity.

Damage caused by the fire including disabled assets and operating constraints are covered by an insurance policy for property damage and business interruption, according to which the company will receive compensation for the amounts paid for the acquisition or repair of assets that prove necessary for regaining its operational capacity and for the operating losses incurred as a consequence of existing operating restraints until the moment they are fixed, deducted from an overall amount of EUR 1 000 000.

These consolidated financial statements include:

An impairment Loss recognized under Tangible Assets, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial position, in the amount of EUR 11 537 038, and under Provisions and Impairment Losses, on the Consolidated Income Statement, in the amount of EUR 11 476 654, as well as the corresponding estimated compensation recognized under Other Current Assets, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial position, for an amount of EUR 11 537 038, and under Provisions and Impairment Losses, on the Consolidated Income Statement, for an amount of EUR 11 476 654.

An estimated compensation corresponding to the operating losses incurred over the period ended 30 September 2011, recognized for EUR 11 895 222 under the caption Other Current Assets, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and for EUR 11 832 955 under the caption Other Operating Revenues, on the Consolidated Income Statement. This estimation was calculated by the company taking into consideration the terms of the insurance policy, including lost gross operating margin and the increase in costs that were necessary for keeping the company's operating activity and it is subject to adjustment resulting from analysis carried out by the insurance companies.

The amounts recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position differ from those recognized on the Consolidated Income Statement because exchange rates used for translation into EUR are different.

In October 2011 the technical conditions for progressively resuming production at Sonae Industria (UK), Ltd. were restored.

4. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

During the period ended 30 September 2011 the Group began recognizing exchange differences related to trade debtors and trade creditors under Other Operating Revenue and Other Operating Costs on the Consolidated Income Statement. These exchange differences were previously recognized under Finance Income and Finance Charges and were restated for the comparative period.

5. COMPANIES INCLUDED IN CONSOLIDATION PERIMETER

During the period ended 30 September 2011 the dissolution of the subsidiary Cia. de Industria y Negocios, S. A. was carried out.

On 23 May 2011 all the shares held on the associate Sonaegest were sold.

In March 2009, the subsidiaries Glunz AG and GHP Gmbh, along with other wood-based board producers in Germany, were subject to inspections carried out by the German Competition Authority (Bundeskartellamt). In March 2010, these group companies received a notice in relation to alleged violation of competition laws.

The aforementioned subsidiaries have agreed with the German Competition Authority upon the terms of an agreement (settlement) which will put an end to an ongoing investigation into the woodbased boards market. This settlement included the assumption by Glunz AG of an obligation to pay

a fine amounting to 27.7 million Euros, to be settled in six progressive annual instalments plus a seventh instalment consisting of interest.

In September 2011, the German Competition Authority adopted a final decision relating to this investigation process. Glunz AG contested this decision aiming to renegotiate the payment conditions of the fine. These consolidated financial statements include a provision of 27.7 million Euros which was recognized in 2Q11.
