We had a strong start to 2023, with accelerated growth and very positive momentum in our core Telco business. Our focus on customer experience and technological leadership continues to lead to robust operational performance, with strong KPI growth. These positive results demonstrate our commitment to delivering superior network, service, and product quality to our customers.

  • · We delivered another quarter of healthy RGU growth across all businesses and with particular strength in mobile. Total RGUs increased by 89.4 thousand net additions of which 77.9 came from mobile (85.6% in mobile post-paid contracts).
  • · Fixed Broadband services increased by 6.3 thousand and Fixed PayTV by 7.5 thousand net additions respectively, reflecting the regard with which Portuguese consumers view our next generation fixed connectivity solutions and the high value proposition of our NOS TV solutions.
  • · Convergence remains a key preference of consumers with an additional 15.2 thousand customers taking their residential services in integrated bundles representing 68% of the fixed customer base by the end of the quarter.
  • · Cinema operations kept up their positive trajectory over the previous year, with ticket sales up by 52% in 1Q23 to 1,502 thousand, again recovering well only down by 19% versus 1Q19.

Operating momentum driving solid financial results

  • Consolidated revenues grew 2.2% yoy to 381.4 million euros, with EBITDA growth of 8.8% to 173.5 million and EBITDA AL of 6.2% to 146.2 million euros.
  • · Telco Revenues grew by 0.9% to 369.2 million euros impacted for the high volume of resale revenues booked in 1Q22. Adjusting for low margin resale revenues, Telco Revenues would have grown by 5.4%. Audiovisual and Cinema Revenues grew by 22.6% to 20.4 million euros.

  • · Telco EBITDA increased 9.4% yoy to 163.7 million euros. Telco EBITDA AL increased 6.3% yoy to 138.9 million euros, Audiovisual and Cinema EBITDA AL increased 5.8% to 7.2 million euros. General inflationary pressures continued to affect the cost base albeit ongoing operating efficiencies helped to offset the impact.

  • · Total CAPEX excluding leasing contracts and other contractual rights was 97.0 million euros in 1Q23, a decline of 26.2% yoy as was expected due to the fact that 5G deployment is decelerating with more than 88% population coverage at the end of 1Q23.
  • · Total Free Cash-Flow Before Dividends, Financial Investments and Own Shares Acquisition in 1Q23 amounted to 28.4million euros reflecting the yoy improvement in EBITDA AL and the anticipated decline in CAPEX.

Revenues

Consolidated revenues in 1Q23 grew by 2.2% YoY to 381.4 million euros, driven by the strength of operational performance across all business segments. Telco revenues were 0.9% higher yoy, reaching 369.2 million euros, impacted for the high volume of resale revenues booked in 1Q22. Adjusting for low margin resale revenues, Telco Revenues would have grown by 5.4% and consolidated revenues by 6.6%. This very positive growth was driven primarily by strong growth of 7.0% in the B2C segment driven by increased RGUs and improved customer value mix. B2B revenues, adjusted for the impact of the low margin B2B resale revenues decreased by 2.7%. Wholesale and other revenues also continued to grow strongly, driven by the ongoing recovery in roaming revenues and a rise in low margin mass calling services.

Audiovisual distribution and cinema exhibition revenues in 1Q23 grew by 22.6% yoy to 20.4 million euros, reflecting the ongoing recovery in cinema sales, in particular impacted by the very strong attendance driven by "Avatar: The Way of Water" which became the highest GBO movie ever in Portugal. This growth was also supported by the successful screening of other blockbuster movies such as, "Puss in Boots: Last Wish" and "Creed II" showing that cinema going is very much alive as long as there are popular movies on show in theatres.

EBITDA, EBITDA AL and Net Results

As from 1Q23 we will focus our review of operational profitability on EBITDA AL, equivalent to pre IFRS16 EBITDA. EBITDA will continue to be included, for reference and continuity in the coming quarters, in our reported financial tables.

Consolidated EBITDA maintained a very positive trend in 1Q23 increasing 8.8% to 173.5 million euros. Consolidated EBITDA AL increased by 6.2% to 146.2 million euros. Telco EBITDA AL posted a strong yoy increase of 6.3% to 138.9 million euros, while Audiovisual and Cinema EBITDA AL increased by 5.8% to 7.2 million euros.

Consolidated OPEX after leases remained flat yoy at 235.2 million euros. We continue our efforts to contain costs to offset global inflationary pressures and we remain focused on maintaining a positive margin trajectory, as we explore ways to optimize our cost base. This quarter the cost items more negatively affected by inflation were wages and salaries and external services, particularly the services with a high labour cost component. Commercial and service costs were also impacted by inflation. Also leasing costs increased due essentially to the additional tower sale executed in 2022 and to the inflationary environment, in the case of the tower leasing inflation adjustments are capped at 2%. On the positive side, we recorded a very significant decline in COGS due to the lower sales of low marqin software and IT resale revenues in comparison with 1Q22. Also we maintained an efficient management of energy costs which started to revert and contribute positively to EBITDA AL evolution.

Consolidated Net Results for 1Q23 amounted to 34.9 million euros representing a decline of 15.1% in comparison with 1Q22 explained mostly by an increase in D&A to 120.4 million euros, reflecting the high capex levels of 2021 and 2022. Also net financial costs increased to 13.0 million euros, impacted primarily by the increased interest rate environment.

CAPEX

Total CAPEX, excluding leasing contracts and other contractual rights, was significantly lower at 97.0 million euros, a reduction of 26.2% yoy, confirming the strong deceleration of 5G deployment which had already reached population coverage of 88% by the end of 1Q23. As a result, investment in Telco Technical CAPEX amounted to 53.4 million euros, of which 21.8 related to network expansion, substitution and integration projects, down 56.6% yoy. We remain committed to maintaining our network leadership position and providing customers with the best possible connectivity solutions however this strategic ambition will be achievable with a more normalized level of investment going forward. Customer related CAPEX was 39.2 million euros in the period, 8.2% yoy, reflecting the inflation in unit costs of CPEs, and also increase in the labour component of sales commissions and installation. Audiovisuals and Cinema CAPEX in 1Q23 reached 4.4 million euros.

udes Cash Restructuring Payme

In 1Q23, EBITDA AL minus total CAPEX excluding leases and other contractual rights amounted to 49.1 million euros, a significant increase compared to 6.2 million euros in 1Q22, reflecting the positive trend in EBITDA AL and reduction in investment following peak CAPEX levels recorded in 2022.

Total FCF for the quarter was 28.4 million euros, reflecting very solid operating performance. This quarter was impacted negatively by "Other Cash Movements" of 11.2 million euros, representing mostly the tower sale VAT payment of 10.3 million euros that was received from the final tower transaction in 4Q22. Excluding this non-recurrent VAT payment from the tower transaction, FCF would have amounted to 38.7 million euros.

As of the end of 1Q23, NOS had a total net debt, including leasings and long-term contracts (according to IFRS16) of 1,608.1 million euros. Net financial debt stood at 969.2 million euros with a cash and short-term investment position on the balance sheet of 23.1 million euros. NOS has a strong funding position with unissued commercial paper programmes of 387.5 million euros. Net financial debt / EBITDA AL stood at 1.74x in 1Q23, which is comfortably below NOS' target leverage ratio of around 2x net financial debt / EBITDA AL.

The all-in average cost of debt for 1Q23 was 2.3%, an increase versus last quarter reflecting the increasing interest rate context. As at 31 March 2023, the proportion of NOS' issued debt paying interest at a fixed rate was approximately 63%.

At the end of 1Q23, the average maturity of NOS debt was 2.7 years.

General Meeting and Shareholder Remuneration

On 5 April 2023, NOS' held its Annual General Meeting. All points on the agenda were approved and as a result, NOS' shareholders approved an ordinary dividend payment of 27.8c per share, in line with last year and an extraordinary dividend of 15.2c per share, linked to the capital gain and FCF generated by the tower sale transaction closed in 2022. Payment of the total dividend was made on 21 April 2023.

Upon payment of this dividend, NOS maintains a solid capital structure, remaining below its target net debt ratio of 2x NFD / EBITDA AL. NOS remains robustly positioned to meet future investments and committed to continuing to distribute an attractive level of dividends whilst maintaining a strategic focus on preserving a strong capital structure to support continued delivery of sustainable value creation for shareholders.
