1HIGHLIGHTS

Steady activity and growth in market share

  • turnover totalled 1.3091 million Euro in the 1st quarter of 2011 late Easter callender penalised the evolution of turnover in the quarter, but activity was already increasing by more than 1% over the first 4 months of the year
  • market shares gains in retail formats

Increase in profitability

  • recurrent EBITDA margin increased 0,2 p.p.to 9,5%
  • Group net income increased to 12 million Euro

Strengthening of financial structure

  • net debt reduced by 279 million Euro when compared to the previous year
  • continuous strengthening of the quality of the capital structure

"The first quarter of 2011 has shown a very sharp decline in private consumption on the Iberian Peninsula, which was particularly pronounced in the discretionary market segments. Our businesses have on the whole stood up very well, having gained market share and optimised the respective cost structures. Nevertheless, the negative impact of the specialized retail comparable store universe performance was not negligible, and reduced the growth dynamic of the Group´s retail units to 2% in the first four months of the year.

Many uncertainties remain with regard to the austerity measures and consequent impacts on consumer behaviour. We remain confident that we will continue to grow, reduce the levels of financial debt and fulfil our medium and long term strategic guidelines, which privilege, amongst others, the strengthening of the Group´s international component."

Paulo Azevedo Sonae CEO

  • Within a weak Iberian economic environment and in a context of external pre-intervention in Portugal (which strongly penalises family consumption), Sonae´s quarterly turnover was maintained at 1.309 M€2 . The comparison with the previous year is technically penalised by the late Easter period and the relative lag in the retail segments promotional calendar. Within this context, Sonae registered market share gains in its main business areas, and the consolidated activity was already increasing by more than 1% over the first 4 months of the year.
  • Still in the 1st quarter of the year, the recurrent EBITDA amounted to 125 M€, representing 9,5% of overall turnover (+ 0,2 p.p.). This figure includes the general improvement of the businesses contributions but, as anticipated, is penalised by the investment in developing Sonae SR´s international operation.
  • Direct net income totalled 24 M€ (+35%), benefiting from the good performance of the businesses as well as 13 M€ mainly associated with one-off gains generated from asset sales operations. In the same period, the indirect result relative to the shopping centres portfolio was nil, comparing positively with the previous year (-7 M€). Thus, net income totalled 24 M€, with the respective Group share reaching 12 M€ and increasing versus the same quarter LY.
  • The investment for the quarter amounted to 70 M€. It was mainly allocated to the development of the Group´s international operations and the remodelling and maintenance of assets in Portugal.
  • As at 31st March, total net debt amounted to 3.004 M€. The Company possesses a solid financial structure, with its debt decreasing sustainably and representing today 62% of invested capital (67% one year ago).

In the 1st quarter 2011, Sonae maintained a turnover of 1.309 M€3 . The main contributors were as follows:

  • Sonae MC with 736 M€ (+1 M€). This figure incorporates an evolution of -2% on a comparable store universe basis, in light of the negative Portuguese private consumer performance, but is essentially penalised by the calendar effect associated with a late Easter and the relative lag in the promotional cycle. At the end of April, overcome the previously mentioned seasonal effects, accumulated L4L already surpassed 1%, with categories such Perishables and FMCG standing out at +2%. Once again Sonae MC strengthened its market leadership (+1 p.p. market share) 4 , with an important contribution from its private labels and saver labels portfolio – which today counts around 3.500 SKU´s and a representativeness close to 30% of the relevant categories sales.
  • Sonae SR with 276 M€ (+ 2M€). This progression is penalised by the -11% evolution of the comparable store universe, in light of the significant decrease witnessed in the base markets and the previously mentioned calendar effect. Nevertheless this performance is worth highlighting, given that it is above market average and results in market share gains5 .
  • Sonae Sierra with 50 M€ (+2 M€). In a negative consumption environment in overall Europe, Sonae Sierra demonstrated the quality of its assets by strengthening average occupation rates to 97% and increasing the volume of overall income from the shopping centres under control - with particular highlight to the contribution made by the Brazilian operation.
  • Sonaecom with 216 M€ (-7 M€). This figure translates as a reduction of 3%, as the increase in revenues from the mobile segment and SSI services did not completely compensate the reduction in product sales (very much associated with the end of the e-initiatives programme) and decrease in mobile termination rates.

In consolidated terms, the Group´s recurrent EBITDA reached 125 M€. This figure represents an increase of 0,2 p.p. in the profitability margin to 9,5%, and is sustained by the widespread implementation of projects to improve operating efficiency in all business areas. In this sense, worth highlighting are:

  • Sonae MC with 29 M€, representing an increase of 0,8 p.p. in profitability to 3,9% of the respective turnover (+28%). Sonae MC strengthens its competitiveness in the quarter by combining rigorous cost control developments with supply chain optimisations (namely with regards to international sourcing and private labels) and greater levels of efficiency in the promotional campaigns supported by the client loyalty card.
  • Sonae SR contribution totalled -11 M€, compared with nil the previous year. In Portugal, this referential reflects transitorily the impact of the negative performances of the universes of categories of these formats. Likewise it incorporates the investment required to constitute a significant position in the Spanish market.
  • Sonae RP with 28 M€. This figure is slightly below that verified in the same period of the previous year (-1 M€), due to the reduction of the asset portfolio resulting from disposals which have since taken place.
  • Sonae Sierra´s contribution to the Group´s consolidated results decreased slightly to 23 M€, and presented a profitability margin of 46,4%.
  • Still in the same period, Sonaecom´s contribution totalled 50 M€, corresponding to a ratio over turnover of 23,2% (+ 1,6 p.p.). This figure represents a strengthening of the respective profitability resulting from cost structure optimisation.

  • For the same period, EBITDA reached 138 M€. This figure represents an increase of 10 M€ in relation to the figure registered in the same period last year, and translates as an increase of 7% potentiated by the implementation of projects to improve the Group´s operating efficiency. Nevertheless, it is worth highlighting that this evolution is positively influenced by the consideration of a non-recurring gain of 13 M€ (+3 M€ in the previous year), largely resulting from Sonae RP´s sale of real estate assets, as previously communicated to the market.
  • In the same quarter, depreciation and amortization costs stood at 84 M€ and financial expenses totalled 25 M€. This last figure was roughly in line with the same quarter of the previous year, by reflecting an inferior amount of debt but an increase in effective interest rates.
  • The direct income for the period totalled 24 M€, increasing 35% against the 1st quarter of 2010.
  • The indirect income relative to the shopping centre´s portfolio was nil, and compares positively with -7 M€ registered in the same period in 2010. Thus, net income reached 24 M€, with the amount attributable to the Group growing versus same quarter LY to 12 M€.

During the course of the first three months of 2011, Sonae carried out an overall investment of 70 M€. This meant that it was possible to:

  • complete 6 new retail projects in Portugal, with recognizable value and very positive return expectations ;
  • widen Sonae SR own store network presence in the Spanish market with the opening of 4.000 m2 sales area in the quarter – and thus proceed with an important avenue for international growth;
  • selectively re-model a number of retail units, so as to ensure that they remain a reference in terms of modernity;
  • continue with the active management of the attractiveness of Sonae Sierras current shopping centres and pursue new developments in Italy (Le Terraze) and Brazil (Uberlândia and Londrina);
  • maintain Optimus´s high level of quality in mobile and fixed network as one of Sonaecom´s distinctive strategic assets;
  • Still in this chapter, but without relevant impact on the quarter investment effort, during the first months of 2011 a number of Groups strategic initiatives were announced - namely with regards to internationalisation and within a capital light perspective. In particular a note on the partnership deal to develop a retail operation in Angola;
  • As at 31st March, Sonae´s overall net capital employed was 4.882 M€. Sonae Sierra´s contribution to the referred invested capital amounted to 1.500 M€, corresponding to Sonae RP an overall asset portfolio of 1.373 M€.

As at 31st March 2011, Sonae´s total net debt amounted to 3.004 M€, translating in a reduction of 279 M€ versus the previous year. This figure is all the more significant when valued from the first quarter of 2009 (around -600 M€), and in a context of strong international growth.

Sonae possesses an increasingly solid financial structure, without pressing refinancing requirements. Consolidated debt is sustainably decreasing and represents today 62% of the respective invested capital.

  • At the end of March, net debt of the retail units totalled 1.334 M€, falling 135 M€ below the referential for the same period in 2010.This is the result of a combination between strong resilience in generating operating cash-flow with an investment strategy which tends to privilege asset rentals. It also benefits from the fulfilment of an important number of asset sale operations.
  • Sonae Sierra´s net debt witnessed a 146 M€ decrease to 690 M€, namely benefitting from the sale of participations in the Mediterranean Cosmos, Plaza Éboli and El Rosal shopping centres. In the quarter, it also benefitted from the cash in-flow resulting from Sonae Sierra Brazil´s IPO operation. These operations together make it possible to maintain the development dynamic of the business, and permit the significant reduction of the Loan-to-Value indicator to 42% (against 46% in the same period last year).
  • Sonaecom´s net debt momentarily increased to 379 M€, reflecting an extraordinary negative effect related to a 38 M€ VAT payment (already rectified in the 2nd quarter). Excluding this effect, the company´s financial debt would have decreased circa 30 M€, taking advantage of the Company´s free cash-flow active management during the course of the last months.

8CORPORATE INFORMATION

Outlook for 2011

Despite the extraordinary economic environment and uncertainty of the markets, Sonae remains confident in the robustness of its strategic guidelines which privilege strengthening of its business value propositions and international growth under a capital light context.

Nevertheless, the worsening of the circumstances in Portugal has lead us to anticipate a growing pressure on businesses sales and commercial margins over the course of the coming months. Therefore, and in order to sustain the solid profitability levels, the Group will proceed with several programs to potentiate productivity increases and working capital optimization. Likewise, Sonae will remain committed to guarantee acuity in investment allocation and continue to free-up invested capital in real-estate assets.

This will allow Sonae to continue to reduce its banking exposure and strengthen the solidity of its capital structure and, consequently, operate with tranquillity during this current environment of strong volatility in the capital markets.

Subsequent facts

On 15th April Sonae informed the market that it had celebrated a partnership deal for the joint development of a retail operation in Angola. The Project comprises the opening of a Continente hypermarket network, and is contextualized within the Group´s strategic framework as it offers a relevant international growth opportunity and facilitates diversifying investment styles.

Subsequently, on 16th May, Sonae announced the agreement in principle to a transaction involving the transfer of 8 consumer electronics stores in Spain. This operation is of particular importance since it significantly strengthens Sonae´s position in the Spanish market (especially with the Worten brand), and is consistent with the accelerated international growth strategy under a capital light framework.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED

31 March 2011

(Amounts expressed in euro)

(Translation of condensed consolidated financial statements originally issued in Portuguese.

In case of discrepancies the Portuguese version prevails.)

1 INTRODUCTION

SONAE, SGPS, SA ("Sonae Holding"), has its head office at Lugar do Espido, Via Norte, Apartado 1011, 4471-909 Maia, Portugal, and is the parent company of a group of companies, as detailed in Notes 4 to 7 ("Sonae"). Sonae`s operations and operating segments are described in Note 31.

Revenue recognition Geostar business

According to the recent amendment to IAS 18, revenues must include the gross inflows of economic benefits received and receivable by the entity of its own. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties are not economic benefits which flow to the entity and are therefore excluded from revenue. This methodological change resulted in the restatement of turnover and related costs for the same period of 31 March 2010.

2 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010.

2.1. Basis of preparation

Interim financial statements are presented quarterly, in accordance with IAS 34 – "Interim Financial Reporting".

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and accounting records of the Company, subsidiaries and joint ventures, adjusted in the consolidation process, on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for some financial instruments which are stated at fair value.

3 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

During the period were adopted a set of accounting standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions issued in previous years and whose implementation has become mandatory for the year 2011 as disclosed in financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2010, which did not have significant impacts on the financial statements 31 March 2011.

As at 31 March 2011 the caption "Other investments" includes:

  • 33,732,695 euro (33,732,640 euro at 31 December 2010) for amounts deposited in an Escrow Account which are invested in investments funds with high credit rating and guarantee contractual liabilities assumed on the past sale of Brazil retail operation for which provisions have been recognized (Note 22);
  • 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 ongoing tax additional assessments that have not yet been decided. It is the understanding of the Board of Directors, based on legal opinions of Brazilian and Portuguese lawyers, that the company is acting in accordance with the agreement and that this amount shall be entirely received, and that there are

legal means that may be operated so as to compel the buyer to authorize the reimbursement of the Escrow account. There are negotiations currently under way between the two parties in order to release the above mentioned amount. And

  • 6,640,000 euro (6,806,000 euro in 31 December 2010) corresponding to the fair value of Sonae Capital SGPS, S.A. shares which are measured at fair value in accordance with the market price at the date of the statement of consolidated financial position.

a) As a result of the agreements signed in 2005 by the former subsidiary - Sonae Distribuição Brazil, SA (sold to Wal-Mart in 2005) with Carrefour Comércio e Indústria Ltda, Sonae assumed responsibility to compensate Carrefour for the expenses that would arise from the 10 stores licensing process, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, that were sold to that entity. During 2010, Carrefour triggered a bank warranty "on first demand" amounting to 25,340,145.80 Brazilian real (approximately 11 million euro) for alleged expenses incurred with the mentioned stores and that, allegedly, arose from the need to remedy deficiencies cited by competent authorities for the licensing process. However no evidence of those expenses were presented to Sonae, or proof of the necessity of carrying out such costs for the licensing process as established on the mentioned agreements.

It is the understanding of the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys that the value of the payment is improper. It's being carried out the necessary procedures in order to initiate legal proceedings against Carrefour Comércio e Indústria, Ltda. to legally recover the above mentioned amount. It's the understanding of the Board of Directors and the Group attorneys that the success of this legal action is high, since Carrefour didn't prove the disbursement of the investments made nor its eligibility under the agreement mentioned above, and considering the deadlines established by Brazilian law.

According to lawyers, the amount improperly received by Carrefour and will be subject to claims for damages by Sonae (25,340,145.80 Reais), accrue interest at the SELIC rate will be expectable the process remains on course for a period up to 8 years.

18 SHARE CAPITAL

As at 31 March 2011, 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.

On 15 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 share capital.

This transaction has a maximum maturity of three years and a 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 non-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 Sonae maintains the risks and rewards arising on the instruments sold.

Consequently, Sonae maintains the deduction from Equity amounting to the acquisition cost of the 132,800,000 shares (138,568,275 euro), and has accounted for the consideration received for the above mentioned sale of own shares in the caption "Other noncurrent liabilities" (273,568,000 euro).

Due to the detach of Sonae Capital SGPS, SA, as at 4 January 2008, demerger rights attributable to the 132,800,000 Sonae SGPS, SA shares subject to the above mentioned agreement, Sonae recognized an asset measured at its' fair value . This asset has not been derecognized as Sonae also entered into a Cash Settled Equity Swap over the Sonae Capital SGPS, SA shares, and therefore a liability was recognized.

On 23 April 2009, 10 March 2010 and 28 March 2011 Sonae Investments BV requested a partial cancellation of the Cash settled Equity Swap for 1,134,965, 1,185,144 and 3,639,140 shares of Sonae Holding respectively. Consequently the derivative underlying asset was updated to 126,840,751 Sonae Holding shares.

On 19 October 2010 Sonae Investments BV has agreed with a financial institution to extend the maturity of the Cash Settled Equity Swap over the 130,479,891 Sonae Holding´s shares. The renovation is done for a maximum of 3 additional years, until November 2013 and maintains the settlement mechanism of the transaction that remains strictly cash settled. The Cash Settled Equity Swap, over shares of Sonae Capital, was not subject to extension of maturity, and Sonae acquired 16,600,000 shares in the market representing 6.6% of the capital of Sonae Capital, in result of fair value.

Therefore and for the transactions described above, the value of liabilities at the date of 31 March 2011, is 103,755,784 euros on the market value of Sonae Holding (Note 22).

These liabilities are adjusted at the end of each month by the effect in Sonae Holding share price, being recognized a current asset/liability in order to present the right/obligation related to the cash settlement of the operation that resets monthly.

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

The receivable amount arising on dividends distributed by the Company is credited to Equity in order to offset the charge of the distribution.

The number of shares taken into consideration to calculate earnings per share includes the shares referred to above as a deduction to the shares issued by the Company (Note 30).

At 31 March 2011, the following entities held more than 20% of the subscribed share capital:

21 DERIVATIVES

Exchange rate derivatives

Sonae uses exchange rate derivatives, essentially to hedge future cash flows.

Sonae contracted several exchange rate forwards and options in order to manage its exchange rate exposure.

As at 31 March 2011, the fair value of exchange rate derivatives which haven't been considered hedging instruments, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments of exchange rate, is null in liabilities as in the caption current investments (76,618 and zero euro as of 31 December 2010)

The computation of the fair value of these financial instruments was made taking into consideration the present value at balance sheet date of the forward settlement amount of the relevant contract. The settlement amount considered in the valuation, is equal to the reference currency notional amount (foreign currency) multiplied by the difference between the contracted forward exchange rate and the forward exchange market rate to the settlement date as at the valuation date.

Gains and 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 caption "Net financial expenses".

Gains and losses for the period arising from fair value change of derivatives qualified as hedging instruments were recorded in the caption "Hedging reserve" of Comprehensive Income.

Interest rate derivatives

As at 31 March 2011, derivatives used by Sonae refer essentially to swaps and interest rate options ("cash flow hedges"). These were negotiated to hedge the interest rate risk of loans amounting to 1,076,958,252 euro (1,118,050,663 euro as at 31 December 2010). The fair value of these derivatives amounts to - 18,319,314 euro (-37,560,225 euro as at 31 December 2010), and is disclosed as assets amounting to 3,138,400 euro (423,774 euro as at 31 December 2010) and as liabilities 21,457,714 euro (37,562,879 euro as at 31 de December de 2010).

These derivatives were valuated considering the estimated future cash-flows, assuming the exercise of the cancellation options by the counterparties when the forward interest rates are higher than the established fixed interest rate. Sonae intends to keep these derivatives until their expiration date, therefore, this valuation is considered to be the most appropriate to estimate the future cash flow of these instruments.

These interest rate derivatives are valued at fair value, at the balance sheet date, based on valuations performed by Sonae using specific software and on external valuations when this software does not deal with specific instruments. The fair value of swaps was calculated, at the balance sheet date, based on the discounted cash flow of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the fixed leg and the indexed variable interest rate inherent to the variable leg. The calculation of the fair value of options was based on the "Black-Scholes" and similar models.

Interest rate and exchange rate derivatives

As at 31 March 2011 no contracts existed related to interest rate and exchange rate derivatives.
