MAIN CORPORATE EVENTS DURING THE PERIOD

Following the announcement made on 22 December 2004, a further 3.92% of ba Vidro was sold in January 2007, generating a capital gain of 3.8 million euro.

On 12 January 2007, the offer for the whole of the share capital of Portugal Telecom and of PT Multimedia was registered with the Portuguese Securities and Exchange Commission (CMVM), following the announcement, on 22 December 2006, from the Competition Authority, disclosing the commitments to be undertaken by Sonaecom to allow the offer to proceed. The offer consideration was increased to 10.5 euro per share (from the previous 9.5 euro per share) on 15 February 2007. The offer terminated automatically on 2 March 2007 because proposed changes to the articles of association of Portugal Telecom, which was one of the conditions on which the offer was dependent, were not approved by a qualified majority of its shareholders. On 6 March 2007, Sonaecom announced that it has sold on the Lisbon Stock Exchange, 11,291,657 shares, representing over 1% of the share capital of Portugal Telecom. These shares were sold at an average price of 9.6151 euro, generating a 2.5 million euro gain.

On 5 and 6 March 2007, Sonaecom purchased 1,894,326 own shares on the Lisbon Stock Exchange, representing 0.517% of Sonaecom's share capital. These acquisitions intended to fully cover the obligations under the Company's Medium Term Incentive Plan attributed to its employees. Following these acquisitions, Sonae SGPS's shareholding represents 1.379% of Sonaecom's total voting rights.

Sonae, SGPS, SA Report of the Board of Directors – First Quarter of 2007 Page 6

Main highlights

  • Consolidated turnover amounted to 725 million euro (646 million euro). This 12% increase resulted from the positive performance of the like for like store portfolio, both in food and non food retail, and from the impact of the organic growth strategy that has been followed, leading to the opening over the last 12 months of 88 new stores (circa 44 thousand m2 ). Also of significance was the launch of the Continente and Modelo loyalty cards which, because of the strong adherence of customers, are already benchmarks in the Portuguese retail market.
  • Consolidated operational cash flow (EBITDA) amounted to 46 million euro (35 million euro), corresponding to a 32% growth. This cash flow represents 6.3% (5.4%) of consolidated turnover, a 0.9 p.p. increase.
  • Current profit for the period was 17 million euro (11 million euro), an over 50% growth, reflecting the good performance in the first quarter of the year.
  • Consolidated net profit for the quarter totalled 15 million euro (21 million euro). Excluding the 13 million euro price adjustment from the sale of the Brazilian retail operations to Wal-Mart, which impacted results for the first quarter of 2006, consolidated net profit grew 87%.
  • As at 31 March 2007, net debt totalled 541 million euro (428 million euro). The increase over 31 March 2006 is explained by the acquisition, at the end of 2006, of 100 million own shares for a total amount of 205 million euro.
  • The Retail business opened 11 new non-food stores in the first quarter of the year (1 Modalfa, 1 Max Mat, 2 Zippy, 1 Star, 4 Área Saúde and 2 Worten Mobile), adding 3 thousand m2 to its store portfolio. As at 31 March 2007, the company had 490 stores (124 food and 366 non food), corresponding to 546 thousand m2 (349 thousand m2 food and 197 thousand m2 non food).

9 Asset Gearing = Net Bank Debt / (Total Assets – Cash and Cash Equivalents and Current Investments). 10 NAV – Net Asset Value. 11 GLA – Gross Lettable Area.

Main highlights

  • Consolidated Direct Net Profit from investments grew 12% to 22 million euro (20 million euro, due to the increase in the portfolio of shopping centres (opening of RioSul, in Seixal, and acquisition of Shopping Centre Modelo de Albufeira and Shopping Centre Continente de Portimão, in the Algarve) and a generally good rental performance of all the operating portfolio, which was partially offset by the negative effect of the sale, in October 2006, of 50% of Sonae Sierra Brazil.
  • Consolidated Indirect Net Profit amounted to negative 3 million euro (positive 7 million euro). In the first quarter of 2006, Indirect Net Profit was positively impacted by the opening of RioSul, in Seixal, and by the sale of Avenida M40, in Madrid, to the Sierra Fund. Consequently, consolidated Total Net Profit decreased 28% to 19 million euro (27 million euro).
  • As at the date of this report Sonae Sierra is the owner or co-owner of 44 shopping and leisure centres, with more than 1.6 million m2 of GLA12.
  • As at 31 March 2007, the company had fifteen new projects under development: in Portugal, Setúbal Retail Park, in Setúbal, Lima Retail Park, in Viana do Castelo, 8ª Avenida, in São João da Madeira, and Évora shopping and leisure centre, in Évora; in Spain, Plaza Mayor Shopping, in Malaga, El Rosal shopping and leisure centre, in Ponferrada, and Las Pulianas, in Granada; in Germany, Alexa, in Berlin, and Weiterstadt, near Frankfurt; in Italy, Freccia Rossa, in Brescia, Gli Orsi, in Biella, and Le Terrazze, in La Spezia; in Greece, Galatsy Olympic Hall, in Athens, and Larissa, in Larissa; and in Brazil, Manaus Shopping, in Manaus.
  • As at 31 March 2007, the NAV13 of the properties attributable to Sonae Sierra was 1,481 million euro (1,490 million euro), corresponding to a value per share of 45.56 euro (45.82 euro).
  • Prior to the date of this report, on 2 May 2007, the company announced that it has bought, from a Romanian developer based in Ramnicu Valcea and developer of the property, the already operating shopping centre River Plaza Mall, in Romania. The shopping centre has 12,358 m2 of GLA12, representing a 42 million euro investment.

12 GLA – Gross Lettable Area. 13 NAV – Net Asset Value.

Consolidated figures for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 are not directly comparable, as Enabler was sold at the end of the first half of 2006.

Sonae, SGPS, SA Report of the Board of Directors – First Quarter of 2007 Page 10

Main highlights

  • Consolidated turnover amounted to 199 million euro (197 million euro), a 1% increase, notwithstanding the negative impact of the lower mobile termination rates and lower roaming in tariffs, and the impact of the sale of Enabler at the end of the first half of 2006. Sonaecom Fixed and Optimus grew their business contributions to consolidated turnover by 23% and 1%, respectively.
  • Consolidated operational cash flow (EBITDA) amounted to 34 million euro (39 million euro), posting a 13% decrease and generating an EBITDA margin of 17% (20%). This decrease derived both from the lower contribution of Optimus and of S&SI to consolidated EBITDA. The latter reflects the sale of Enabler (excluding this impact S&SI's contribution remained in line with the previous year's figure). Optimus' lower contribution was mostly due to a one off benefit in the form of credit from equipment suppliers granted in the first quarter of 2006, to lower mobile termination rates and to higher handset subsidisation costs.
  • Depreciation and amortisation increased 4 million euro to 37 million euro (33 million euro), due to the higher asset base resulting from the extension of the UMTS/High Speed network and the extension of Sonaecom Fixed access network capillarity. Net Financial charges increased to 4 million euro (3 million euro), circa 17%, mainly due to the higher average cost of debt and the temporarily higher gross debt in the form of shareholder loans granted by Sonae SGPS, 1.2 billion euro, related to the guarantee for the public tender offer for Portugal Telecom.
  • Consequently, consolidated net profit decreased 11 million euro to negative 6 million euro (positive 5 million euro).
  • Consolidated gross debt stood at 466 million euro, roughly in line with 31 December 2006. Consolidated liquidity increased around 64 million euro, reflecting the free cash flow generated in the quarter. Consolidated net debt as at 31 March 2007 stood at 276 million euro (272 million euro), 62 million euro below net debt as at 31 December 2006.

SONAE CAPITAL

Turnover 111 111 -
Operational Cash-Flow (EBITDA) 2 6 +4
Profit for the period 6 5 -17%

Consolidated turnover of Sonae Capital remained in line with the previous year comparable, amounting to 111 million euro.

Consolidated operational cash flow (EBITDA) increased 4 million euro to 6 million euro (2 million euro), mainly due to better overall operational performance of the Seed and Risk Capital businesses.

Consolidated net profit for the period was 5 million euro (6 million euro), down 17%. In the first quarter of 2006, net profit was positively impacted by the gain on the sale of Star, the travel agency format, to the Retail business.

SONAE, SGPS, SA – Stand Alone Activity

The activity of Sonae, SGPS, SA, as a stand alone company, is focused on the management of its holdings in affiliated companies.

During the first quarter of 2007, Sonae, SGPS, SA, sold 40,481,436 Sonaecom, SGPS, SA's shares (11.05% of the corresponding share capital) to Sontel, BV, decreasing its direct shareholding to 1.66%.

Prior to the date of this report, on 11 April 2007, Sonae, SGPS, SA completed a bond issue of 150 million euro.

CONSOLIDATED PROFITABILITY

Consolidated turnover for the quarter grew 9%, up to 1,043 million euro (960 million euro). The Retail business was the main growth driver, with a contribution increase of 74 million euro, up 11%, due to: strong performance of the like for like store portfolio, opening of 88 new stores (circa 44 thousand m2 ) in the last 12 months and the positive impact of the new Continente and Modelo loyalty cards. Other businesses' contributions remained slightly above previous year comparables.

Consolidated operational cash flow (EBITDA) for the quarter was 108 million euro (98 million euro), a 10% growth, generating a consolidated EBITDA margin of 10.3% (10.1%). The Retail business growth strategy continued to deliver good results, with the respective contribution to consolidated EBITDA growing by 14 million euro to 48 million euro (34 million euro). Sonae Capital's higher contribution to consolidated EBITDA, circa 7 million euro (2 million euro), resulted from operational improvements in the Seed and Risk Capital business area. The contribution of the Shopping Centres business to consolidated EBITDA decreased 6 million euro to 18 million euro (24 million euro). EBITDA from operations increased 3% to 36 million euro (35 million euro), while value created on investment properties decreased 7 million euro (in the first quarter of 2006, contribution to consolidated EBITDA was impacted by around 5 million euro associated with the opening of RioSul Shopping in March 2006). The lower contribution of the Telecommunications business to consolidated EBITDA, 37 million euro (40 million euro), reflects the lower contribution from the mobile business due to lower termination rates, higher handset subsidisation and leased lines costs, notwithstanding positive performance at the fixed and software and systems information businesses.

Consolidated net profit for the quarter was 16 million euro (35 million euro), a 19 million euro decrease mostly explained by higher net financial expenses and lower investment income. Net financial expenses increased 7 million euro to 28 million euro (21 million euro), mainly due to higher interest arising from higher average cost of debt and higher gross debt. Regarding theTelecommunications businesses, the latter was due to Sonae SGPS's loan for the funding of guarantees associated with the tender offer for Portugal Telecom. Contributing to the quarter's profit are 7 million euro (19 million euro) of investment income, which include gains on the sale of an additional 3.92% shareholding in ba Vidro and of Sonaecom's 1% shareholding in Portugal Telecom. As at 31 March 2006, investment income included the 13 million euro price adjustment on the sale of the Brazilian retail operations.

Accordingly, consolidated net profit attributable to equity holders of Sonae decreased 10 million euro to 15 million euro (25 million euro).

20. DERIVATIVES

Exchange rate derivatives

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

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

As at 31 March 2007, the fair value of exchange rate derivatives, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments, is of 92,529 euro (116,043 euro as at 31 December 2006), included in Current liabilities, and of 753,293 euro (49,458 euro as at 31 December 2006) in the caption Current investments. The total amount of 737,636 euro recorded as assets relates to exchange rate hedging of investmet obligations arising from the sale of 50% of Sonae Sierra Brazil to DDR.

Gains in the period arising from changes in the fair value of instruments that do not qualify for hedging accounting treatment, amounting to 727,349 euro, were recorded directly in the income statement in the caption Net financial expenses.

Interest rate derivatives

As at 31 March 2007, derivatives used by the Group essentially refer to "swaps" and interest rate options ("cash flow hedges"). These were negotiated to hedge the interest rate risk of loans amounting to 418,140,171 euro (315,050,239 euro as at 31 December 2006). The fair value of these derivatives amounts to 4,496,724 euro (3,914,598 euro as at 31 December 2006), and is disclosed as Investments 4,613,708 euro (4,035,714 euro as at 31 December 2006) and as current liabilities 116,983 euro (121,116 euro as at 31 December 2006). As at 31 March 2007 all derivatives are hedge derivatives.

These interest rate derivatives are valued at fair value, at the balance sheet date, based on valuations performed by the Group using specific software and on external valuations when this software does not deal with specific instruments. The fair value of swaps was calculated, as 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.

The hedging principles used by the Group when negotiating these financial derivatives are as follows:

  • Perfect "matching" between cash in-flows and out-flows, i.e., rate setting dates of bank loans coincide with those of the interest rate derivative;
  • Perfect "matching" of indices used: the index of the hedging derivative and that of the related loan are the same;
  • In a scenario of an extreme increase in interest rates, the maximum financing cost is limited.

Counterparts issuing derivative financial instruments are selected based on financial strength and credit risk established by internationally recognised rating agencies. These counterparts are nationally and internationally recognised first class financial institutions.

Interest rate and exchange rate derivatives

As at 31 March 2007 no contracts existed related to interest rate and exchange rate derivatives.

22. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

In 2007 and in previous years, the Sonae Group granted deferred performance bonuses to its directors and eligible employees. These are either based on shares to be acquired at nil cost, three years after they were attributed to the employee, or based on share options with the exercise price equal to the share price at the grant date, to be exercised three years later. 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 company has the choice to settle in cash instead of shares. The option can only be exercised if the employee still works for the Group on the vesting date.

As at 31 March 2007 and 31 December 2006, the market value of total liabilities arising from share-based payments, which have not yet vested, may be summarised as follows:
