MANAGEMENT REPORT

MANAGEMENT REPORT

In accordance with Portuguese Law and the company's articles of association, we hereby present the management report of Sonae Distribuição - S.G.P.S., S.A. for the first nine months of 2009.

1. Activity evolution

Sonae Distribuição ended the first nine months of 2009 with a consolidated turnover of 3,228 million Euro. This figure represents an increase of 8% compared to the same period in 2008 – which could be translated as an evolution of 9% of the overall activity of the Company on an ex-fuel basis.

During this period, the turnover corresponding to the food based retail formats totalled 2,238 million Euro, increasing by 7% compared to the first nine months of 2008. For this positive evolution, the following were decisive factors: the Company´s continuous investment programme, resulting in the opening of 40,000 new square metres of sales area over the last 12 months. Also the 1% evolution of the turnover relative to the comparable store universe as a result of strengthening the value proposition of the private label programme, the positive performance of the perishables category, resulting from a clearer segmentation offer, and a number of commercial initiatives (designed to respond to the difficulties which the Portuguese families are facing during the current economic crisis), which in turn have allowed for a strengthening in the fidelity levels of the client base of the Continente and Modelo formats. On the other hand, this evolution is impacted by the ongoing aggressive deflation, which is not compensated by the increase in volumes.

Worthy of emphasis is the strengthening of the Company´s leadership position over the last months (Source: Nielsen), with this universe of chain stores representing an increase in sales above that of the remaining modern retail operators in Portugual in this business area.

During the same period, the specialized retail formats registered a turnover of 756 million Euro, an increase of 24% compared to the same period in 2008. This progression results from the strong store opening programme that the Company has been following over the last reported periods in Portugal and Spain, which in the current reported period alone opened 41 new units corresponding to 31,000 m2 of sales area.

On a comparable store basis, the turnover of the specialized retail formats decreased 5%, particularly owed to the strong dependency of the Worten chain with what regards the current macroeconomic conditions, in a performance which was not totally compensated by the growth of the apparel and sports based formats. Notwithstanding, Worten and Sportzone strengthened their leadership position in the market, with Worten increasing its respective activity in a market which is falling, on average, circa 9%. The presence of this business portfolio in Spain has presented results in line with what was forecasted. To date, the operation in Spain contributed with 13% of overall sales of the total specialized retail formats.

2. Operational Cash-flow evolution

Sonae Distribuição´s consolidated operational cash-flow totalled 215 million Euro during the first nine months of 2009, in other words, 6.7% over the corresponding turnover. In the same period last year, the operational cash-flow was impacted by a non-recurring gain of 9 million Euro resulting from the sale of a real estate asset in Florianópolis (Brasil). Excluding this one-off impact, the Company´s recurrent operational cash-flow is above the figure registered in the same period in 2008. In an economic context of strong consumer constraints, and in light of investing in building a renowned operation in Spain, this evolution is particularly worthy of highlight. More so, because it includes a general improvement in operational profitability margins of the businesses in Portugal.

Analysed in further detail, until September 2009, we note that operational cash-flow of the food retail formats amounted to 120 million Euro, which corresponds to 5.4% of the respective turnover. The increase in accumulated operational profitability compared to 3Q08 amounts to 0.3 percentage points, and is justified by the previously mentioned strengthening of market share, in addition to the improvements in operational efficiencies carried out throughout the business, namely with regards to the logistics system and centralized purchasing model.

The contribution made by the specialised retail formats to Sonae Distribuição´s operational cash-flow amounted to 11 million Euro. This reflects two opposing performances: on one hand the continuous gain of profitability from the operation in Portugal, and on the other hand, the investment resulting from the organic growth of the operation in Spain, currently with 44 thousand square metres and represented by 3 formats, Worten, Sportzone and Zippy.

The operational cash-flow of the Retail Properties unit totalled 85 million Euro. Analysing this evolution in light of 3Q08, and excluding the non-recurring gain of 9 million Euro resulting from the sale of a real estate asset in Florianópolis in 2008, we note that it increased 15% reflecting the increase of the asset portfolio resulting from the organic expansion of SONAE´S retail operations in Portugal

3. Net Income

In 3Q09, Sonae Distribuição presented a net income of 66 million Euro. Compared to the same period last year, this figure represents a decrease which is justified by the previously mentioned materialization of a nonrecurrent gain of 9 million Euro in 2008 resulting from the sale of a real estate asset in Brazil, in addition to the increase in depreciation charges and accommodation of the initial entry effort into the Spanish market.

4. Investment programme

In the first nine months of the year, the Company realised a gross technical investment which totalled 233 million Euro,in Portgal and Spain, which allowed for the opening of 51,000 m2 in addition to the preparation for projects underway - be them for a number of new stores, or dedicated to the restructuring of the Company´s logistical architecture and constant innovation of distinctive systems of operational support to the business.

5. Capital structure

At the end of September, Sonae Distribuição´s total net debt amounted to 1,539 million Euro. This figure corresponds to an increase of 314 million Euro since the beginning of the year, reflecting the programe of organic growth and remodeling of the store portfolio, in addition to the normal development of the working capital requirements. To this date, net debt was 4.4 x the accumulated figure of operational cash-flow of the last 12 months.

6. Corporate Governance

No significant changes took place in the year that are worthy of mention, and the guidelines set out in the Consolidated Management Report for the year 2008, concerning Corporate Governance remained unchanged.

7. Outlook

The results achieved over the last nine months demonstrate that Sonae Distribuição, in a very demanding context, is effectively progressing in the direction of coming out stronger from this recession, in the sense that it maintains its profitability levels and strengthens its competitive position, and even still achieves a greater presence and international projection.

22. CONTIGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

30.09.2009 31.12.2008
Guarantees rendered:
related to tax claims 199,156,471
a)
113,907,257
related to local and m unicipal claims 10,849,229 23,255,089
Others 34,729,740
b)
43,437,911

a) Includes guarantees amounting to 132,520,202 Euro (82,679,557 Euro as at 31 December 2008) and 61,271,319 Euro (24,212,158 Euro as at 31 December 2008) related to appeals against additional corporate Income Tax and VAT assessments, respectively.

b) Includes guarantees of 8,552,357 Euro (9,170,327 Euro as at 31 December 2008) related to VAT reimbursement requests.

The subsidiary Sonae Capital Brasil, Ltda rendered a guarantee amounting to 27,888,790 euro (BRL 72,649,760), (21,856,170 euro – BRL 70,892,539, as at 31 December 2008) on a tax claim related to income tax, which is being judged by tax courts.

As a consequence of the sale of a subsidiary company in Brazil, the Group guaranteed the buyer all the losses incurred by that company arising on unfavourable 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 30 September 2009, 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, amount to near 2.5 million euro.

Furthermore, there are other tax lawsuits relating to the sold subsidiary totalling 71 million euro (65 million euro as at 31 December 2008, being that the variation is mainly caused by the exchange rate effect) for which the Board of Directors, based on the external lawyers' assessment, understand, will not imply losses to the sold subsidiary, above the referred 40 million euro.

No provision has been recorded in order to face possible risks arising from these processes, as the Board of Directors believes that they will be solved without arising additional liabilities to the Group.
