COMUNICADO | 1Q 2017
Sociedade Comercial Orey Antunes, S.A. ("SCOA", "Orey" or "Grupo Orey") reached in 1Q17 a positive net income amounting to Euro 49 thousand.
This result, when compared to the same period of the previous year, already reflects the results of the profound reorganization carried out in 2016 with the objectives of (i) de-leveraging the balance sheet by selling non-core assets and reducing debt and debt costs and (ii) improve operational results through a strong cost reduction on the one hand and increase operating revenues on the other. The operating result and EBITDA of the Orey Group in 1Q17 were Euro 1.77 million and Euro 1.40 million, respectively.
The accounts now presented, similar to the end of 2016, have a different consolidation perimeter. For comparison purposes, the accounts for the 1Q16 were adjusted.
The initial results of the restructuring and transformation process have already start to be felt in 1Q17. This process impacted the revenue performance and its drivers as well as the operating and financial costs. In effect, the operating revenues of Orey Group, including the full consolidation of the nonfinancial companies, reached Euro 21.26 million in 1Q17, having increased 3.3% y.o.y. This performance was based on the sales and service revenues of the non-financial companies: +19.0% y.o.y in 1Q17 to Euro 20.08 million. It should be noted that the contribution of the net financial margin and commissions generated by Orey Financial to the consolidated revenues reached Euro 0.48 million in 1Q17, having declined 29.0% y.o.y. Notwithstanding being a relevant decline, this was the best performance registered since 1Q16. It should be underlined that the Orey Group is confident that the commission trend will continue to improve throughout the upcoming quarters.
During 2016 and early 2017 Orey implemented a reorganizational plan (1) to significantly reduce costs to rebalance the P&L; (2) reposition its commercial offering and (3) implemented new balance sheet structure to the through asset sales and renegotiated terms and conditions of the most important debt facilities, including bonds and bank debt, aimed at increasing maturities and reducing cost of debt. The reorganisation plan also covered other areas, namely extensive contact with Orey Financial customers aimed at re-establishing the commercial relationship and a special focus on initiatives to rejuvenate the commercial team and increase its motivation. Whereas this cost cutting and reorganisation plan is now mostly executed, the focus is now investing on organic growth.
At Orey Financial level, it should be noted that assets under management and custody reached Euro 144.36 million (-7.7% y.o.y.), having grown 2.2% when compared to 31 December 2016. The growth in assets under management and custody was mainly driven by the growth of online brokerage AuM's, which reached Euro 50.63 million (+ 5% in 1Q17 compared to Euro 48.17 million at the end of 2016). Also relevant was the growth in the customer base, both in Portugal (+ 3.5% in 1Q17 versus 1Q16 for 4,321 customers) and in Spain (+ 7.1% in 1Q17 compared to 1Q16 for 3,230 clients) demonstrating Orey Financial's ability to retain its customer base while simultaneously attracting new customers. This performance also shows that the strategy of to further invest in the development of the financial activity in Spain is being succeeded. The Group continues to consider this a market with high growth potential.
In terms of Orey Financial's perimeter, net commissions in the 1Q17 reached Euro 0.51 million (-31.0% y.o.y.). This decrease in revenues was mainly due to the activity in Portugal, which continued to decline in 1Q17, as a result of the decline in customer base during 2016. However, it should be noted that activity in Spain already showed a significant growth during the 1Q17.

In the financial statements of 31 December 2016 Orey Group fully consolidated in its statutory accounts all investments in the non-financial companies held through the private equity fund, Orey Capital Partners Transports and Logistics SCA SICAR ("OCP SICAR").
Out of the various shareholder agreements implemented and signed in the first half of 2012 with the non-financial groups following Orey's transformation process, which resulted in the implementation of a joint control model, replacing the solitary control that was being adopted by the Group, as of today these agreements are in force only in the subgroups (1) Horizon View, navigation, transport and logistics in Portugal and Spain and (2) Orey Industrial, industrial representations in Portugal. In the sub-groups (1) Lynx, navigation, transport, and logistics in Angola and Mozambique and (2) Orey Safety, naval security, firefighting and individual protection, there are no shareholder agreements in place. Moreover, due to the requirements over the conditions to be reflected in shareholders' agreements so that these holdings can be registered as joint ventures and given that (1) Orey Group decided not to make any
changes to the shareholder agreements in force in Horizon View and Orey Industrial; (2) there are no shareholder agreements in effect at Lynx and Orey Safety and (3) the conditions necessary for Lynx to continue to be recorded as an asset held for sale are not valid any longer, all of these holdings were fully accounted for in SCOA's consolidated financial statements. It should be noted that in 2014 and 2015 the Lynx sub-group was recorded as an asset held for sale while Orey Safety was registered as a financial investment. The latter was, at that time, subject to a shareholder's agreement.
Against the backdrop that SCOA fully consolidates these assets in its financial statements and taking into consideration that the positioning of SCOA has recently evolved from a financial holding to an investment holding with relevant financial and non-financial holdings, in 2017 fiscal year SCOA will change the account presentation model, moving from the model used by financial institutions towards the model used by non-financial companies, both in the individual accounts and in the consolidated accounts. This change occurs insofar as the Company understands that, in this manner, its consolidated accounts reflect better the core of its activities and its proper dimension.
Regarding the statutory consolidated accounts, the distressed assets segment consists of two insolvency projects called OP Incrível and A. Araújo. These projects have a duration of more than one year and their return is only possible at the end of the process. Given that these projects are of uncertain return, in accordance with current international regulations, the expenses inherent thereto must be fully recognised as a cost in the year in which they occur and an estimation of the income and margin should be made, thus reflecting the likely return from this business.
