In 2024, we marked the 10th anniversary of NOS—a decade of transformation, innovation, and leadership in Portugal's communications, technology, and entertainment sectors. This milestone is not just a celebration of time passed but a reflection of the extraordinary journey we have undertaken together.
2024 was a record-breaking year in many ways. We reinforced our leadership in 5G, achieving the largest coverage, highest quality, and fastest deployment of any operator in Portugal—achievements independently recognized at both national and European levels. We accelerated the expansion of our FTTH coverage, providing 5.7 million households with cutting-edge connectivity. Our digital transformation programs advanced rapidly, enhancing customer interfaces and transactional platforms to improve interactions and deliver a more seamless and personalized experience. And, driven by our commitment to technological leadership, customer experience, and operational excellence, we increased our market share to nearly 32%1 , achieving our strongest year ever in revenue growth, profitability, and cash generation.
Our ambition remains clear: to reinforce our leadership in the consumer segment by delivering a differentiated value proposition built on technological superiority and fostering strong, trusted relationships with our customers. At the same time, we are driving disruptive growth in the Business segment, positioning NOS as the preferred partner for digital transformation. In line with this strategy, we took a major step toward leadership with the announcement of our acquisition2 of Claranet Portugal in January 2025.
A key enabler of our future growth will be the large-scale deployment of AI and advanced digital solutions across all areas of our business. By embedding AI-driven capabilities into every function, we aim to maximize business potential, drive operational efficiency, and establish NOS as a fully AI-enabled organization, ready to meet the demands of an increasingly digital world.
Finally, financial discipline and capital optimization remain at the core of our strategy. By ensuring operational efficiency and maximizing returns, we reinforce our market position while securing the financial sustainability needed to continue investing in the future and creating long-term value for our shareholders, all our stakeholders, and the country.

Consolidated revenues recorded the best quarterly performance of 2024, growing by 8.1% to 448.0 million euros, driven by the strength of our Telco & IT operations, with a strong contribution from the Business and Wholesale segments, as well as significant growth in the cinema exhibition and audiovisual business, benefiting from blockbuster successes screened in cinemas throughout the quarter and the portfolio of films distributed by NOS Audiovisuais.
The Telco & IT business delivered a strong performance across all segments, growing by 7.2% yoy to 430.2 million euros in revenues. The Consumer segment, which includes services provided to households and individuals, saw positive dynamics across all services, driving an increase of 85.5k RGUs. The adoption of convergent services, with 49.9k net additions, continues to drive strong performance in the Consumer segment, contributing to an improvement in the value mix and sustained growth in fixed residential ARPU by 3.0% to 52.1 euros, culminating in a 4.1% revenue increase in the segment to 292.6 million euros. NOS continues to strengthen its positioning in the Business market, fostering new partnerships and business opportunities in Telco & IT, positioning itself as a preferred partner for digital transformation. This business unit saw its revenues grow by 12.5% to 106.5 million euros, benefiting from strong operational momentum across all business lines, with particular emphasis on the Corporate segment, which was boosted by a higher volume of IT projects. Additionally, the Wholesale & Other segment grew by 5.6 million euros to 31.0 million euros, supported by the increase in the market share of value-added call services, which, despite their lowmargin and volatile profile, contributed to revenue growth in the segment.
The cinema exhibition and audiovisual division recorded a significant revenue increase of 21.6%, reaching a total of 27.1 million euros. The cinema exhibition segment registered revenue growth of 29.6%, driven by a 19.2% increase in the number of tickets sold, 4.7 percentage points above the total market growth in Portugal for the same period. Several blockbusters were screened in 4Q24, including "Moana II", "Gladiator II", and "Mufasa", all of which ranked among the top 10 most-watched films of 2024. A noteworthy investment was made in the Azores, with the opening of four new cinema screens, reinforcing NOS' commitment to providing the best infrastructure for all Portuguese audiences. The Audiovisual segment saw a revenue increase of 24.1%, benefiting from the success of the film portfolio distributed by NOS Audiovisuais, including the top three films of the quarter: "Moana II", "Gladiator II", and "Mufasa".

The consolidated EBITDA recorded a yoy growth of 11.6%, surpassing the growth of consolidated revenues. This was driven by a robust 10.5% performance in the Telecommunications business and a significant contribution from the cinema exhibition and audiovisual business, which grew by 28.4%, resulting in a margin expansion of 1.3 percentage points to 40.7%.
Consolidated OPEX increased by 5.9% to 265.5 million euros, reflecting a continuous optimization of our cost structure and processes, mitigating the negative impacts of inflation and higher direct costs due to increased operational activity. The ongoing operational transformation program continues to reshape and restructure various processes by leveraging the disruptive potential of new technologies, such as AI and generative AI. The results achieved allow us to gain operational and structural efficiencies that enhance the business and help redesign the cost structure across multiple areas, including reducing customer service-related costs. Direct costs associated with the Business segment and the Cinema exhibition and audiovisual business registered significant growth during the quarter, driven by an increase in IT projects in the Corporate segment and strong operational performance in our cinemas. Non-direct, operational, and structural costs continue to be impacted, particularly in supplies and external services, where higher energy costs reflect the less favorable regulated price environment in the Portuguese market compared to the previous year.
Leasing costs increased by 6.6% to 31.1 million euros, reflecting a higher number of sites with shared radio access and inflation-related adjustments to payments to Cellnex, capped at 2%. Excluding leasing impacts, EBITDA AL grew by 12.6% to 151.5 million euros, representing a margin of 33.8%.
The increase in net results by 16.5 million euros is explained by a combination of several factors, including: i) Operational performance and efficiencies, with EBITDA contributing 18.9 million euros; ii) Reduction in Financing and Other Costs in 7.7 million euros to 13.1 million euros, benefiting from a more favorable interest rate environment; iii) Increase in non-recurring income by 6.6 million euros to 38.9 million euros, resulting from the higher recognition of revenues related to activity fees associated with court rulings and unconstitutionalities favorable to NOS, initially recognized in 4Q23; iv) A positive contribution of 0.7 million euros from our stake in associated companies and JVs, with ZAP's performance benefiting from a more favorable exchange rate environment; v) Income taxes had a negative impact of 17.9 million euros compared to 4Q23, due to higher pre-tax earnings.

Total CAPEX, excluding leasing contracts and other contractual rights, decreased by 0.1% yoy to 94.7 million euros, reflecting a slowdown in investment throughout all quarters of 2024. The structural reduction in CAPEX levels results from previously anticipated investments made in past years to ensure the best and most reliable mobile network in the country, featuring the highest number of 5G stations and being a pioneer in achieving full coverage across all municipalities in Portugal. We continue to invest in the expansion and modernization of our fixed network, deploying this expansion as sustainably and efficiently as possible through a combination of own network construction, sharing agreements, and wholesale solutions. By the end of 2024, we reached a total of 5.7 million homes, with 82.5% covered by FttH. The level of investment in the telecommunications business, measured as a percentage of revenues, decreased by 2.0 percentage points to 20.2%.
Audiovisual and Cinema CAPEX excluding leasings in 4Q24 reached 7.6 million euros, driven by the acquisition of rights for new films.

The strong operational performance and the structural slowdown trend in investment levels drove to sustainable growth of the EBITDA AL - CAPEX line item, with underlying Free Cash Flow reaching 27.5 million euros in 4Q24, an increase of 6.4 million euros yoy.
EBITDA AL - CAPEX recorded a growth of 42.9% to 56.8 million euros, although this performance was offset by a 20.4 million euros negative impact from working capital variations and non-monetary items, leading to a 3.3 million euros reduction in operational cash flow.
The decrease in cash flow from income taxes by 6.1 million euros to 10.1 million euros results from the fact that payments made each year are based on the previous year's tax results. The 4Q23 payment of 16.2 million euros was impacted by non-recurring results related to the capital gain from the 2022 tower sale. Total Free Cash Flow decreased by 8.8 million euros to 27.8 million euros, impacted by non-recurring effects recorded in 4Q23. Free Cash Flow in 4Q23 had been boosted by the receipt of 15.6 million euros in activity fees, following favorable court rulings initially announced in that period.

On January 27, 2025, NOS, SGPS, S.A. announced the agreement reached between NOS, SGPS, S.A. and Claranet Group Limited for the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Claranet Portugal, S.A. for 152 million euros.
After 10 consecutive years of growth, Claranet Portugal recorded revenues of 205 million euros in the 2024 financial year and generated 15.4 million euros in EBITDA, driven by a strong and growing contribution from its services business. This transaction values Claranet Portugal at 9.9x EBITDA.
This agreement will enable NOS to strengthen its position as a relevant and trusted technology partner for its Business customers, while expanding its capabilities in the fast-growing technology sector. By integrating Claranet Portugal's expertise and resources, NOS reinforces its strategic ambition to provide innovative and resilient digital solutions that meet the evolving needs of the business ecosystem and drive technological transformation across the economy and society.
The completion of this agreement is subject to non-opposition by the Competition Authority.

On 26 February 2025, the Board of Directors approved a proposal for the upcoming General Meeting to distribute an ordinary dividend per share of 35.0 euro cents, in line with the previous year, representing an ordinary dividend yield of approximately 9.0%.
Considering the non-recurring FCF generated in 2024, namely the sale of a tower portfolio completed during the year, and given the conservative capital structure, the Board of Directors also approved a proposal for the next AGM to distribute an extraordinary dividend of 5.0 euro cents per share, linked to this non-recurring FCF.
Following the payment of this dividend, NOS will maintain a solid capital structure, remaining below its target net debt ratio of 2x NFD/EBITDA AL.
NOS remains well-positioned to meet future investments and is firmly committed to continuing to distribute an attractive level of dividends while strategically focusing on preserving a strong capital structure to ensure sustainable value creation for shareholders.
