In 3Q17 NOS continued to see growth in all key operating metrics.
Convergence is a maturing trend with 47.3% of fixed subscribers already taking household communication and entertainment services in bundled offers. The most recent market share data reported by the regulator for the end of 2Q17 shows that NOS ranks #1 with a 40% market share of bundled packages.
ARPU growth is led by a combination of increased RGUs sold per account, increased proportion of higher value accounts in the customer mix and an improved pricing environment. In 3Q17, Residential ARPU increased by 4.1% yoy to 44.6 euros.
Pay TV subscriptions are the core measure of residential growth as the basis for upselling all other services. In 3Q17, NOS grew the level of pay TV subscriptions by 2.4 thousand resulting from a combination of an additional 5.5 thousand new fixed access customers and a decline in the satellite base of 3.1 thousand in the quarter. The net growth in the pay TV base in 3Q17 was achieved despite the impact to date of the market wide remedies imposed by the regulator regarding price increase communication procedures. In addition, DTH customers have been posting negative quarterly trends in net adds primarily due to the increasing coverage of NGN fixed networks in Portugal with the main operators expanding their respective footprints.
Penetration of fixed broadband and voice is still growing. By the end of 3Q17, NOS had 1.321 million fixed broadband and 1.753 million fixed voice subscribers, representing respectively 77.4% and 87.0% of the fixed access base.
On the B2B front NOS is focusing efforts primarily on capturing a greater share of wallet within existing large and medium corporate accounts and expanding sale of new business, namely by implementing IT and data management related services with full service solutions for the various subsegments. The operational model in B2B sub segments has been revisited to guarantee that NOS is present in the most margin relevant stages of the customer relationship, becoming a producer rather than a pure reseller of services where relevant. NOS is well positioned to capture value from innovative services developing technological solutions supported by leading network assets and service platforms and strong institutional partnerships when appropriate. Continuous and open product and service innovation and excellence in service delivery are the foundations upon which NOS differentiates itself in the market. In the smaller business segment where NOS has a comparatively larger market share than in the large Corporate space, the key priority is to defend revenue and margin potential and progressively capture natural share of gross adds. In 3Q17, NOS increased total B2B RGUs by 6.6 thousand with ARPU per RGU remaining stable at 15.7 euros.
Fixed and mobile traffic continues to grow exponentially, for NOS and for the market in general. Year to date, fixed and mobile data traffic has increased by 28% and 32% for NOS, clear indication of the increasing demands placed on the network.
To meet the challenges of continued growth in traffic and guarantee service quality, a number of major network development projects are currently underway across both the mobile and fixed infrastructure.
In 3Q17 NOS initiated a mobile network overhaul replacing all the active elements of the network with the latest generation of radio equipment, introducing Single RAN architecture to optimize spectrum utilization and network efficiency, increasing capacity by almost three times and enhancing coverage.
The project will be implemented over the next 5 years, with the lion's share of the investment set to occur in 2018 and 2019.
On the fixed network front, by the end of 1Q18, NOS will have completed the Docsis 3.1 upgrade of its HFC network, allowing for provision of 1Gbps speeds across the entire footprint. At the time of this report almost 50% of the HFC footprint was already upgraded, enabling NOS to launch a premium 1Gbps quad play offer.
With the objective of extending fixed coverage further under economically viable terms and progressively increasing penetration of FttH, at the end of September, NOS reached an agreement with Vodafone Portugal to develop and share FttH infrastructure nationwide, enabling both operators to extend their commercial offers over the shared network as from the beginning of 2018. The agreement encompasses reciprocal sharing of dark fibre in around 2.6 million homes, with each operator sharing an equivalent value in terms of investment. The partnership also applies to mobile infrastructure, with a minimum of 200 mobile towers to be shared. With this agreement both companies retain the freedom to develop their respective commercial offers and technological solutions, whilst guaranteeing complete independence and confidentiality of customer relationship and information management.
By the end of 2018, NOS' next generation fixed network will cover 4.4 million homes, representing a more than 10% increase in addressable market and will be able to provide Gigabit services to 100% of its footprint with the upgrade to Docsis 3.1. NOS' coverage also includes wholesale acess to 280 thousand households from DST, a regional fibre operator. By the end of 2022, approximately 70% of NOS' fixed network will be covered with FttH.
A measure of NOS' successful track record in network expansion is that of the new households covered since 2014 average gross penetration now stands at 25%.
NOS is positioned as the leading entertainment and communications provider in Portugal. With its nationwide NGN network, the most advanced multi-device TV and video platform, "UMA" and access to the largest chain of movie theatres in Portugal, NOS boasts the most exciting entertainment and communications experience in the market. The starting level convergent package includes 176 channels over the UMA platform, 100 Mbps of broadband speed and unlimited broadband and voice traffic, 1 mobile SIM card with 500MB of data included for a 56.99 euro monthly fee plus access to the NOS on demand video library NPlay. Each new SIM card is charged at 11.90 euros and residential customers may go up to a limit of 4 cards. NOS' mobile data solution within converged bundles offers customers the ability to share the total monthly data allowance amongst all SIMs within the family account. At the top end of the range, reflecting a "more for more" approach, and leveraging the increased network capabilities with the Docsis 3.1 upgrade, for an additional 17 euros a month, broadband speeds increase to 1Gbps and the mobile data allowance per SIM increases to 10 GB per month. The UMA TV and online video interface is continuously evolving with new content and features targeting upsell to higher end packages at more premium pricing. During the last months, NOS launched a number of new features for the platform, one of the most significant of which being the inclusion of YouTube over the integrated UMA TV, computer and smartphone platforms.
3Q17 was a weaker quarter for the Cinema and Audiovisuals division. NOS' Cinema ticket sales posted a yoy decrease of 5.8% to 2.509 million tickets in 3Q17, reflecting the negative performance of the market as a whole which declined by 4.9%[1], due to fewer blockbuster box office hits during the second half of the year. Average revenue per ticket remained stable yoy at 4.7 euros in 3Q17.

The most successful films exhibited in 3Q17 were "Despicable Me 3", "Baywatch", "The Emoji Movie", "Cars 3" and "Spider-Man: Homecoming".
NOS' gross box-office revenues decreased by 5.8% in 3Q17, which compares with a 4.3% yoy decline for the market as a whole. NOS continues to maintain its leading market position, with a market share of 63.7% in terms of gross revenues in 3Q17. Cinema Exhibition revenues declined by 5.3% yoy in 3Q17 to 16.4 million euros.
Revenues in the Audiovisuals division decreased by 11.4% yoy to 17.3 million euros in 3Q17 driven primarily by the weaker yoy performance in Cinema Distribution and despite a slight improvement in Homevideo and VoD. Of the top 10 cinema box-office hits in 3Q17, NOS distributed 7, "Despicable Me 3", "Baywatch", "Cars 3", "Anabelle 2: Creation", "The Hitman's Bodyguard", "Dunkirk", and "It", therefore maintaining its leadership position.

Continued growth in RGUs associated with higher ARPU are driving an acceleration in yoy revenue growth in the Telecom operation with revenues growing by 3.8% yoy to 374 million euros, compared with 2.9% in 1Q17 and 3.1% in 2Q17.
Within the Consumer segment, Residential revenues grew by 5.6% yoy led by slightly higher growth of customer revenues. Revenues from the personal segment posted growth of 7.1% yoy, driven by equivalent growth in customer and operator revenues on the back of higher stand-alone mobile RGUs and an increase in average ARPU of almost 5%. Higher yoy operator revenues result from the fact that with NOS' larger subscriber base and increased market share, more calls are being terminated on the NOS network than in previous years. This is also true for converged mobile customers however operator revenues in converged ARPU weigh less than in stand-alone mobile ARPU.
Business revenues ex-wholesale increased by 4.3% yoy as a result of customer revenue growth driven primarily by higher ARPU per account and still some RGU growth, albeit slower than in the past. Revenues in the wholesale segment grew by 5.5% yoy benefiting from some recovery in mass calling services and increased volume of roaming in revenues generated from the "Roam Like at Home" (RLAH) European directive implemented in mid-June 2017. Roaming revenues year-to-date to the EU declined by 7% with a decrease in roaming out partially offset by strong growth of roaming in despite the lower tariffs.
Equipment sales increased by 7.3% yoy driven by stronger commercial activity and gross adds in the quarter. The remaining revenue aggregate in the telecom segment, "others and eliminations" posted a yoy decline of 28.7% to 13.2 million euros, reflecting a similar yoy trend to the previous quarter. This aggregate contains mostly revenues received from advertising revenue share on TV channels, sale of TV channels and a number of other telecom related revenues.
Cinemas posted a yoy deceleration in revenues of 5.3% as a result of the weaker movie line-up in comparision with 3Q16 and as explained in the Cinema and Audiovisuals segment above. The decline was extensive to the market in general which posted a decline in total box office sales of 4.3%, according to monthly data published by the audiovisuals and cinema institute – ICA. The Audiovisuals division posted a more marked decline in revenues as a result of both the decline in box-office sales affecting movie distribution revenues, a small reduction in share of movie distribution in the quarter and lower sales of premium movie channels to Portuguese speaking African markets.

| Other Operating Costs | 9.8% | (12.6%) | 8.9% | 1.9% |
Growth of 2.6% in Consolidated OPEX to 241.9 million euros was below that of Operating Revenues, translating into EBITDA expansion of 4.1% during the quarter.
Direct costs are those that weigh the most in the cost structure, approximately 30% as a proportion of Operating Revenues. This aggregate is composed mostly of programming and royalty costs, interconnection and telecom capacity related costs and is closely tied to the level of commercial activity. The well flagged yoy increase in premium sports costs was less significant in 3Q17 than in previous quarters with the most relevant impacts already having passed through the accounts. Further yoy increases will persist, as agreed in the terms of the long term contracts signed, although are set to be less material than in recent quarters. Excluding football sports content, direct costs posted a marginal decline of 0.2%, demonstrating improvement in operating leverage as a result of increased scale and the drive for a more efficient cost structure.
The yoy saving achieved in commercial costs of 11.3% was due to a combination of lower advertising spend in the telco division and lower cost of goods sold than in 3Q16 impacted by a lower level of stock depreciation yoy. The variation in other operating costs combines a number of changes including an increase in regulatory fees paid to Anacom, higher operating provisions in the quarter and savings in a number of supplies and external services related costs.
EBIT grew by 6.4% yoy to 43.7 million euros reflecting the expansion in Consolidated EBITDA of 4.1% due to revenues growing at a faster pace than costs. Telco EBITDA margin in particular reflected a strong trend accelerating yoy growth to 5.3% compared with growth in revenues of 3.8%, taking margin to 37% as a proportion of telco revenues, compared with 36.5% in 3Q16. Although higher yoy, quarterly Depreciation and Amortization has remained relatively stable throughout the year.
Net Income posted a 22.4% increase to 33.6 million euros in 3Q17 led by the strong EBIT performance, and significantly improved share of results of associates and joint ventures to 6 million euros in the quarter mainly due to the improved financial contribution of Sport TV resulting from the revised distribution model implemented during 2H16 and the improved performance at ZAP.
Financial charges of 6.5 million euros reflect a combination of lower interest costs due to the decline in average cost of debt from 2.2% in 3Q16 to 1.9% in 3Q17, a saving mitigated by a lower level of interest received on outstanding client debt.
The increase in Tax provision in 3Q17 of 12.9% to 9.7 million euros, was a consequence essentially of the higher level of Earnings before Income Tax.

Total Telecom CAPEX fell by 3.3% yoy to 84.2 million euros, representing 22.5% of telecom sales. Of this amount, Technical CAPEX started to pick up quarter over quarter reaching 47.1 million euros in 3Q17, 12.6% of telco revenues as expected with the launch in 2H17 of the major network projects discussed earlier in this report. Technical CAPEX will continue to increase quarter on quarter, albeit remaining within the guidance range of 12-13% of full year telco revenues. Within technical CAPEX, baseline CAPEX amounted to 27.8 million euros, 7.4% of telecom revenues, similar to levels of previous quarters. Customer related CAPEX posted a material decline of 16.9% yoy to 37 million euros in 3Q17 reflecting the anticipated slowdown in RGU growth and customer acquisition.
Total Group CAPEX was 90.8 million euros in 3Q17, 23.1% of Consolidated Revenues. Audiovisuals and Cinema CAPEX declined to 6.6 million euros from 9.5 million euros in 3Q16 due primarily to the weaker quarter in terms of movie distribution and sale of premium movie channels.

FCF growth continues to accelerate yoy reflecting NOS' strong cash generation momentum and potential for attractive growth in shareholder remuneration.
In 3Q17, EBITDA-CAPEX grew by 24.3% yoy to 60.5 million euros and Operating Cash Flow increased by 17.3% to 56 million euros. Accumulated for 9M17, Operating Free Cash Flow amounted to 162.7 million euros, up 63.6% yoy.
Of the main cash movements below OCF, in 3Q17, NOS paid cash taxes of 9.4 million euros, similar to the level paid in 3Q16 and, for 9M17, cash tax paid was 9.7 million euros, down from 14.9 million euros in 9M16. Interest payments increased by 7.4% yoy to 6.3 million euros in 3Q17 reflecting the decline of financing interest costs from lower average cost of debt, which was offset by the lower yoy level of client default interest payments. Restructuring payments reduced quite significantly in 3Q17 to 2.5 million euros in the quarter, compared with 6 million euros in 3Q16 and 5.9 million euros in 2Q17.
Total FCF before dividends, financial investments and own share acquisitions increased 39.5% in 3Q17 to 33.9 million euros translating into an 8.6% margin as a percentage of total revenues compared with 6.4% in 3Q16.
