EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT

31 MARCH 2019

Sonae Capital 1Q19 information is subject to the application of IFRS 16 (using the modified retrospective approach). The IFRS 16 is the new financial reporting standard on accounting of leases, effective on 1 January 2019.

In order to allow for a reliable analysis of Sonae Capital year-on-year evolution, we present the Profit and Loss Statement for 2018 in a proforma (PF) logic, per quarter. Additionally, the Balance Sheet for December 2018 year-end is presented in accordance to the same logic. The Chapter 7 includes additional information on this topic.

1. CEO'S MESSAGE AND HIGHLIGHTS

"The first quarter of 2019 brought different levels of accomplishment for Sonae Capital portfolio of businesses. In Energy and Fitness, both with a track record of value creation, where we have been consistently showing positive results, we kept on growing. In Energy, the contribution of the Renewables operation drove results significantly up when compared to last year. However, we are also pleased with the results reached by the Cogeneration operation, our reference technology. In Fitness, the growth we experienced in the Clubs we operate, along with the recent acquisition of additional four Clubs, that will be included in the premium low-cost segment - where we operate under the Pump brand -, puts us closer to the market leadership in Portugal. Although not reflected in 1Q19 results, in Hospitality and Refrigeration & HVAC, we remain committed to improve the profitability standards. In Industrial Engineering - Adira - the lower amount of orders that we experienced at the end of 2018 had the impact we were already anticipating, which is the result of the ongoing transformational plan. However, the foundations we have been creating with Clients and Agents, namely the recent developments in the Spanish and North American markets, give us positive expectations for the evolution of the activity in the medium-term.

In Real Estate, the asset monetisation plan continues to evolve according to plan. Given its size and intrinsic value, the sale of the assets included in the WTC Fund is one of the most relevant projects we are planning to achieve this year, as long as we ensure reasonable price conditions.

The net financial debt stood at 134.4 million euros at the end of March 2019, remaining adequate and, above all, being supported by increasingly favourable financing conditions, which, along with the liquidity generated by the sale of Real Estate Assets, will feed our growth ambitions.

I am convinced we have the right conditions for Sonae Capital to continue, over the next quarters, to successfully implement the corporate strategy, delivering results that demonstrate the value we are committed to create."

Miguel Gil Mata

EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT 31 MARCH 2019

  • The Business Units turnover reached 39.1M€, showing an increase of 0.2% when compared to 1Q18, backed by the performance of Energy, Fitness, Hospitality and Troia Operations. In the same period, the Real Estate Assets turnover increased by 1.9%, to 4.6M€.
  • The Business Units EBITDA grew to 4.9M€ in 1Q19, 7.0% above 1Q18, showing an EBITDA margin of 12.5%. The Consolidated EBITDA increased 0.7%, to 3.9M€, generating a margin of 9.3%.
  • Continued Businesses Net Profit increased by 1.6M€ when compared to 1Q18, totaling negative 5.0M€. This evolution benefited from:
    • (i) a Consolidated EBITDA increase of 0.7%;
    • (ii) a lower level of Non-Recurrent Costs; and,
    • (iii) a positive tax effect, resulting from deferred tax assets;
    • (iv) notwithstanding the Amortizations and Depreciations, which were slightly above last year, due to a larger number of contracts recognised under IFRS 16 (+0.24M€).
  • Driven by the evolution of Net Profit (in continued and discontinued businesses), Consolidated Net Profit increased by 3.6M€ in 1Q19, and reached negative 5.1M€.

  • Capex totaled 11.9M€ in 1Q19, mostly driven by the Energy business, namely on the back of the biomass-fuelled cogeneration project development (9.8M€);
  • Net Debt stood at 195.6M€ at the end of March 2019. Net Financial Debt reached 134.4M€ in the same period, registering an increase of 14.7M€ when compared to the end of 2018, a typical seasonality effect on the first quarter of the year, nonetheless below the increase registered one year ago (in the amount of 15.9M€);
  • We maintain an adequate capital structure when considering the Group's portfolio of businesses and Real Estate Assets held: Net Financial Debt to EBITDA of 2.8x and LTV of 3.6%, both slightly above the figures reported in 2018 year-end.

3. BUSINESS UNITS

3.1 ENERGY

  • Energy turnover reached 14,0M€ in 1Q19, growing by 17.8% when compared to 1Q18. This evolution benefited from the Renewables operation, driven by the increased availability of the solar resource in all projects in operation, and also by the Cogeneration operation, which had a positive evolution both in volume and price.
  • The EBITDA reached 3.6M€, performing a y.o.y. growth of 9.2%. The EBITDA margin reached 25.7%, 2.0pp below the 1Q18.
  • Recurrent EBIT increased by 51.6%, to 1.3M€, registering a performance aligned with the EBITDA evolution, as Depreciations and Amortizations remained almost stable between the two periods in analysis.
  • The CAPEX amounted to 10.4M€, almost entirely driven by the ongoing development in the biomass-fuelled cogeneration plant, which stood at 9.8M€ in 1Q19, and is progressing as planned. This project, which will start operating in 2020, will ensure a material and stable flow of cash throughout 25 years (the feed-in tariff period) and is currently CapWatt's most significant project in terms of investment.
  • Presently, almost all the projects of this segment operate in the regulated market. The first project to be carried over the free market corresponds to 10MW (solar energy), which should take place in 2H21.
  • To date, CapWatt has projects under development with a capacity of 10.6MW, 10MW regarding the biomass-fired cogeneration plant and 0.6MW in Renewables, namely in photovoltaic self-consumption units.

  • The Industrial Engineering segment includes Adira, acquired in July 2017. The 1Q19 results reflect the ongoing restructuring process, which started in 2018, largely based on a new commercial approach, after-sales and customer satisfaction areas.
  • In 1Q19, due to a level of orders below the company's potential, particularly in 4Q18 (that we expected to recover), Adira registered a Turnover of 2.6M€ and a negative EBITDA of 0.7M€.
  • Throughout 1Q19, Adira has consistently improved a group of operating KPIs such as the on time delivery and the lead time. At the same time, some actions were taken in order to directly promote the Adira brand in Spain, a market with an enormous potential that has already represented a significant part of the company's sales and that we are keen to regain. Additionaly, it should be noted that Adira has recently signed a contract with Mitsubishi for the supply of bending and cutting machines for the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, which, at cruising speed, will guarantee a significant increase in the number of machines produced.

  • During 1Q19, the Fitness segment continued its growth strategy. The average number of active members reached 89,113, driven by both Solinca chain and Pump chain, showing an increase of 7.5% when compared to 1Q18.
  • At the end of 1Q19, the total number of Clubs stood at 30, further increasing to 35 Clubs as of the date of this report. This inclues the opening of the Pump Club in Seixal, on 9 May 2019, as well as the agreement for the acquisition of 4 Urban Fit Clubs, which took place on 15 May 2019 (and is expected to become effective in June 2019). After the completion of the Urban Fit Chain rebranding, for Pump, the Fitness segment will include 20 Solinca Clubs (Value for Money segment), 14 Pump Clubs (Premium Low Cost segment) and 1 Club ONE (Premium segment). In order to comply with a multi-segment strategy, we intend to continue the expansion plan in progress in the coming years, increasing the number of Clubs in each segment.
  • The EBITDA stood at 3.2M€, which compares with 2.6M€ in 1Q18, representing a growth of 23.6%. The EBITDA margin totaled 32.1%, 3.0pp above the same period of 2018, giving evidence of the growing maturity of the universe of Clubs.

  • Since 1 January 2019, the Hospitality business includes the contribution of the Aqualuz Lagos operation. In 1Q19, Aqualuz Lagos operation registered a turnover of 153 thousand euros and a negative EBITDA of 263 thousand euros, which reflects the natural seasonality of the business, particularly in this geography.
  • In 1Q19, the consolidated RevPar decreased by 16.6% when compared to 1Q18. This evolution is justified on the one hand by the existence of a significant contract a year ago that benefited Porto Palácio Hotel performance in 1Q18 and, on the other hand, by the positive effect of Easter in 1Q18 in Aqualuz Tróia and Aqualuz Lagos.
  • Excluding the impact of Aqualuz Lagos operation, Turnover would remain in line with the value registered in 1Q18. As for the EBITDA, it would decrease by 22.5%, to negative 0.6M€, a trend that we expect to revert in the coming quarters.
  • The CAPEX reached 0.1M€ in 1Q19 due to the refurbishment of the Porto Palácio Hotel, as well as the starting of the Santa Apolónia Railway Station project, in Lisbon.

  • Turnover totaled 8.0M€ in 1Q19, 26.2% below 1Q18. This was driven by a delay in a group of Refrigeration projects, as well as by a reduction in HVAC activity, an outcome of our strategy for the business, which focuses on projects of greater value and complexity, where our contribution is better perceived.
  • The EBITDA stood at negative 66 thousand euros, which compares with negative 26 thousand euros in 1Q18. This is the result of the turnover evolution, notwithstanding our greater focus on Refrigeration, and an improvement in HVAC, related to our strategy of focusing in more profitable projects.
  • It should be noted that Refrigeration & HVAC orders backlog reached 18.2M€ at the end of March 2019, representing roughly 4.6 months of turnover.
  • The Recurrent EBIT reached negative 0.2M€, which compares with negative 0.1M€ in 1Q18.

7. IFRS 16 AND QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE IN 2018

Sonae Capital 1Q19 information is subject to the application of IFRS 16 (using the modified retrospective approach). The IFRS 16 is the new financial reporting standard on accounting of leases, effective from 1 January 2019.

In order to allow for a reliable analysis of Sonae Capital year-on-year evolution, we present the Profit and Loss Statement for 2018 in a proforma (PF) logic, per quarter. Additionally, the Balance Sheet of December 2018 year-end is presented in accordance to the same logic. Even though the restatement of accounts is not mandatory when the modified retrospective approach is adopted, we considered that the disclosure of the year 2018 on a quarterly basis in a pro-forma logic seems necessary, particularly given the relevance of IFRS 16 in Sonae Capital Hospitality and Fitness businesses.

Seeking to align the presentation of leased assets more closely to owned assets, the IFRS 16 aims to establish a more uniform accounting approach, increasing the comparability between different financing options while providing a more realistic view of the medium-long-term commitments assumed in leasing contracts such as operating leases, rental of equipment and lease agreements.

The major impacts of IFRS 16 in Sonae Capital Consolidated 2018 Results are summarised on the following table:
