Message from the CEO, Paulo Azevedo

This year, we have managed to sustain turnover growth (+6%); improve Recurrent EBITDA (+8%) and direct net results (+42%); reduce the overall level of investment without hindering our strategic objectives, in particular strengthening our market position across our core businesses and developing new markets.

The performance of the food retail business with turnover up 7% and double digit growth in EBITDA is a good reflection of the strong fundamentals of the operation: clear market leadership, prime locations, best in class logistics, strong brand recognition and high penetration of the loyalty card. In 3Q09, Modelo and Continente formats continued to gain market share, with turnover growth significantly above that of the modern retail market. This was despite the negative like-for-like growth in the quarter (- 2%), mainly reflecting changes in the promotional calendar compared to last year and by a peak of market deflation (-6%) that was not totally compensated by growth in like for like volumes (circa 3%). Profitability levels for 9M09 improved, with EBITDA margins up 0.3pp to 5.4%. In 3Q09, food retail EBITDA margins were below last year's, penalized by the high food price deflation and intensifying competition mostly from players suffering market share losses.

The Specialized retail business maintained top line growth above 20%, driven by the strong organic expansion of the last 12 months in Portugal and in Spain. In Portugal, we have been able to defend and even reinforce our market leadership in the consumer electronics and sports goods segments. Like-for-like sales were down 5% (-8% in 3Q09), mainly driven by our Worten stores reflecting the sensitivity of the business to the negative economic climate. This was mitigated by the positive performance of our textile formats, particularly Modalfa and Zippy, both with clear and strong value propositions but also by SportZone with its unique sports offering. Our presence in the Spanish market was reinforced during the quarter and performed in accordance to expectations, already contributing circa 13% of sales in the 9M09 and expected to grow steadily in importance. Again, the Portuguese operation kept improving EBITDA, while the entrance costs in Spain explained the decrease in EBITDA for this business unit.

At Sonae Sierra, we continue to be confident in the quality of our shopping centres, that proved their resilience with improved direct results, sustained by the maintenance of high occupancy rates (circa 96%) and flat total rents collected (variable + fixed) on a like-for-like basis. After the successful opening of Loop5 in Germany (October), that was fully leased, the company continues to develop its expansion plan in Europe, and is due to open LeiriaShopping in Portugal in Spring 2010 and has just begun construction works of Le Terrazze in Italy, scheduled to open in the Autumn of 2011. In the quarter, there was an important reduction of indirect losses, with Sierra benefiting from a deceleration in the increase of yields, with already some properties in Spain, Italy and Germany stabilizing and in Brazil even increasing in value.

Sonaecom again performed above our expectations with a strong improvement in EBITDA and margin and in FCF driven primarily by the mobile business and by SSI. Turnover growth was negatively affected by the impact of MTRs, lower Roaming in and lower wireline residential revenues. However, the quarter showed continued growth of the mobile customer base that was up 8.8% in 9M09. Additionally, the business has delivered strong EBITDA results and positive cash flow generation, driven by continuous cost control initiatives and a rigorous management of CAPEX. These results are a clear demonstration of the company's ability to meet, and in some measures, surpass, the challenging targets disclosed at the beginning of the year, amid an environment of high risk and uncertainty.

During the quarter we recognised a capital gain amounting to 29 million euros, resulting from the strategic partnership agreement signed during 2Q09 with the Feffer family in relation to our insurance brokerage business, contributing to the significant increase in EBITDA and direct results of the period.

I believe that our 9M09 results show that we are making good progress with on our stated goals in the face of a challenging environment and reinforces my conviction that Sonae will emerge from this recession even stronger, maintaining profitability levels, with higher market shares and with increased geographical diversity.

Turnover quarterly trend

Turnover breakdown

Turnover

  • Sonae turnover increased by 6% with the retail businesses maintaining a strong rate of growth.
  • Food based retail turnover was up by 7%, driven by the strong investment in private label, the ability to segment promotional activity through the loyalty card and the performance of the perishables area. Like-forlike sales were up 1%, with a negative growth in 3Q09 (-2%), the latter reflecting: (i) changes in the promotional calendar for 2009; (ii) the significant reduction of the average 'ticket' per consumer (circa 5%), mainly driven by the impact of deflation and 'trading down'; (iii) not compensated by higher volumes (+3% like for like growth). Noteworthy was the market share reinforcement in 3Q09 (Source: Nielsen, total store reading), with turnover growth clearly higher than that of other modern retail operators.
  • Specialised retail maintained a double digit turnover growth, as a result of the aggressive organic growth in the last 12 months, with the opening of 54 new stores in Portugal and 24 in Spain. Like-for-like sales were down 5%, mainly driven by the sensitivity of the Worten format to the current economic climate that was not sufficiently compensated by growth of the textile and sports formats. However, Worten and SportZone reinforced their market leadership in Portugal, with Worten increasing sales in a contracting market, which has seen sales down on average by 9% in the 9M09. The growing presence in Spain, with Worten, SportZone and Zippy formats, is running according to plan, and during the period contributed 13% of sales.
  • Shopping centres turnover decreased by 3% reflecting the lower ownership of the Sierra Portugal Fund at 42% which was fully consolidated in 1H08. On a comparable basis regarding the Sierra Portugal Fund, turnover was 2% higher, driven by: (i) a high occupancy rate (96%); (ii) flat total rents collected on a like-for-like basis and (iii) the contribution of the 4 centres opened in 2008 and 1 in 2009. These have offset the lower revenues posted by the development activity and the property and asset management services.
  • Telecommunications turnover was down marginally by 1% reflecting the impact of lower mobile termination rates, lower revenues from the wireline residential business and lower roaming in tariffs.

Recurrent EBITDA quarterly trend

Recurrent EBITDA breakdown

Recurrent EBITDA

  • Sonae continued to improve EBITDA that increased by 8%, generating a margin of 11%.
  • Food based retail improved EBITDA by 12%, representing a margin over sales of 5.4% (+0.3pp). This reflected a continued gain in market share and improvements in internal operating efficiency, including our centralized logistics system and centralized category management. The margin decrease in 3Q09 to 6.3% (-0.4pp), compared to 3Q08, was impacted by the intensification of competitive pressures and food deflation.
  • Specialised retail EBITDA performance reflected two opposing effects: (i) the continuous improvement in profitability of the Portuguese operation; and (ii) the investment related to organic growth of the Spanish operation accounting for 44 thousand m2, represented by three formats, Worten, SportZone and Zippy. Our stated target for international organic growth is to attain EBITDA breakeven in 3 years' time from launch.
  • Retail real estate EBITDA mainly reflects internal rents, set in accordance to returns on the underlying investments that are broadly aligned with market yields. EBITDA increased 15%, explained by the enlarged asset portfolio resulting from the organic expansion of the retail operations in Portugal.
  • Shopping centres EBITDA fell by 2%, due to the lower ownership of the Sierra Portugal Fund at 42%. On a comparable basis, adjusting for the ownership changes in the Sierra Portugal Fund, EBITDA increased by 4%, benefiting from the efficiency and cost control initiatives implemented.
  • Telecommunications EBITDA improved by 23%, driven mainly by the mobile businesses and SSI. The reductions in interconnection costs, lower marketing & sales costs and other cost saving initiatives, more than off-set the combined negative impact of lower mobile roaming-in revenues and lower EBITDA generated by the residential wireline segment.

EBIT breakdown

Direct net income – group share

  • Sonae's total direct net income increased by 42%, with group share reaching a positive 96 million, 28 million euros above that in 9M08. This growth mainly reflects the Recurrent EBITDA performance, a one-off capital gain recognized impacting total EBITDA in the period and a reduction in the average cost of debt, notwithstanding higher depreciation charges and higher tax charge.
  • Depreciation and amortization charges were up by 10%, driven by the increased asset base resulting from the expansion of the retail store network and extension of the mobile and fibre network at Sonaecom.
  • Despite the higher average net debt in 9M09, net financial results were 18% better than in 9M08, mainly reflecting lower net interest expenses, down 22 million euros, as a result of a decrease in the average cost of debt driven by lower y.o.y. Euribor rates.
  • The tax line showed a charge of 20 million euros, compared to 7 million euros in 9M08, mainly explained by the strong increase of EBT and lower deferred tax asset benefit recognised, mainly at Sonaecom.

VCIDP quarterly trend

VCIDP breakdown

Shopping centres indirect income

  • Consolidated indirect income group share was negative 64 million euros compared to negative 14 million euros in 9M08. This was mainly explained by the general increase in European capitalization yields (much higher than in 9M08) that are applied when valuing shopping centres, and the resulting lower value of our portfolio of shopping centres, leading to a corresponding negative non-cash charge to results (value created on investment and development properties – VCIDP).
  • VCIDP in the shopping centres business was negative 123 million euros, reflecting: (i) 118.5 million euros decrease in the value of the European shopping centres in the portfolio (7% devaluation of properties since 2008), explained by the general increase in European capitalization yields; in 9M09, average portfolio yield reached 6.7%, compared to 6.3% at end 2008; (ii) 32.4 million euros uplift resulting from the improved estimated performance of shopping centres owned in Portugal, Germany and Brazil; (iii) 6.3 million euros of value recognized on the properties under development; and (iv) 43.2 million euros decrease in valuation, driven by downward adjustments of estimated future cash flow generation of shopping centres in the other countries.
  • During 3Q09 the deceleration of the trend of yield increases was noticeable, with already some properties in Spain, Italy and Germany not suffering from the effects of yield expansion. This has been reflected in the indirect results posted in the quarter, representing the lowest negative non-cash charge since the 2Q08, the beginning of the real estate crisis. The latest quarterly valuation of our assets imply that average yields increased in Portugal by 16bp, in Spain by 4bp, in Italy by 1bp and Romania by 25bp, while yields in Germany and Greece remained flat and in Brazil decreased by 3bp.
  • The tax line showed a gain of 22 million euros, reflecting the reversal of deferred tax liabilities related to the decrease in value of properties at the end of the period.

Invested capital breakdown

CAPEX

  • Sonae's total investment during 9M09 reached 462 million euros (11% turnover), mainly reflecting investments by the retail businesses in expansion, including internationalization.
  • Food based retail CAPEX of 96 million Euros (9 million euros above 9M08), was directed towards: (i) the initial investment (excluding the real estate component) in new stores opened (19 thousand m2); (ii) the refurbishment of several stores; (iii) the preparation work for future openings, namely the new Continente in Maia and 3 Modelo stores in Maia, Régua and Lixa; and (iv) the upgrading of the logistic warehouse units.
  • Specialised retail CAPEX was 72 million euros (up 23 million euros when compared to LY), comprising: (i) the initial investment (excluding the real estate component) in 30 new stores opened in Portugal (20 thousand m2); (ii) the continuous refurbishment and renewal investments at the store portfolio; and (iii) investment expenses with the international expansion into Spain, with the opening of 11 stores totalling 10 thousand m2, already representing more than 35% of the investment.
  • Retail real estate CAPEX amounted to 78 million euros, reflecting the investment in additional stores and investment on account of future openings, including hypermarkets (3) and supermarkets (4). It is expected that the level of new investment in this business unit will reduce significantly as a result of the announced capital light approach to expansion that will be based on leasing rather than ownership of properties.
  • Shopping centres CAPEX reflected: (i) the conclusion of Manauara, in Brazil (opened in April); (ii) progress in the development of the disclosed projects in the pipeline, namely Loop5 (opened in October) Leiria (scheduled for 2010), and the expansion of Guimarães Shopping (concluded in October); and (iii) the acquisition of the land and the initiation of construction works of a new project, Le Terrazze, in Italy.
  • Telecommunications CAPEX comprised mainly investment in the mobile network, although at a much slower pace than in 9M08, reflecting a tight management of the CAPEX expenditures in the year.

Sonae Sierra and Holding Loan to value

Retail and Telecom Net Debt/EBITDA (last 12 months)

Note: Leverage Ratios based on financial debt (excluding shareholder loans)

Capital structure

  • Sonae's net debt increased by 329 million euros, due to the significant investment effort of the last 12 months (760 million euros), higher than the free cash flow generated in the same period totaling 431 million euros. This investment was mostly visible at the retail businesses that saw its net debt increase by nearly 15%. Overall, debt facilities have long average maturities, with Sonae's weighted average maturity standing at approximately 5.2 years (considering 100% of Sonae Sierra's debt), with only circa 225 million euros of long term debt maturing in the next 12 months.
  • Retail formats & retail real estate net debt increased by 200 million euros, mainly reflecting the investment requirements of its organic growth, including internationalization; Net Debt to EBITDA (last 12 months) reached 4.2x, with the increased EBITDA level in the preceding 12 month period partially offsetting the higher net debt.
  • Shopping centres net debt was 16% higher than that at end 9M08, mainly driven by the development activity. Loan to value reached 51%, mainly due to the higher net debt but primarily due to the decrease in value of the European Shopping centres in the portfolio.
  • Telecommunications' net debt, excluding the proceeds from the securitization transaction, stood at 386 million euros, 1% above end 9M08, primarily reflecting the investment effort of the last 12 months in improving the coverage and capacity of the mobile network; Net Debt to EBITDA (last 12 months) improved to 2.1x, driven by the improved EBITDA performance over the last 12 months.
  • Holding net debt decreased by 18 million euros, including the impact from the inflows under the cash settled equity swap.

The financial investments in group companies, jointly controlled companies or associated companies excluded from consolidation are recorded at the acquisition cost net of impairment losses. It is Group understanding that no reliable fair value estimate could be made as there is no market data available for these investments. The heading of Investments available for sale includes 2,675,530 euro (2,660,538 euro as at 30 September 2008) of investments recorded at the cost net of impairment losses for the same reasons.

The investments available for sale are net impairment losses (Note 25) amounting 13,157 euro (26,314 euro as at 30 September 2008).

Under the caption other financial investments is recorded an amount of 45,123,946 euro (56,102,723 euro as at 30 September 2008) related to deposited amounts on an Escrow Account which are invested in investment funds with superior rating and guarantee contractual liabilities assumed by Sonae which may arise from the sale of the operation of retail in Brazil, and for which provisions were recorded (Note 25).

In accordance with the guarantee schedule, the amount deposited in the Escrow account should have already been fully paid to the Company, however there are some differences of opinion that are being negotiated between parties implying the delay of its release. The management, based on Portuguese and Brazilian lawyer's legal opinions, believes that no impairment loss should be recognized and that the amount deposited in the Escrow account will be fully paid in the short term.

18 SHARE CAPITAL

As at 30 September 2009, the share capital, which is fully subscribed and paid for, is made up of 2,000,000,000 ordinary shares, which do not have the right to a fixed dividend, with a nominal value of 1 euro each.

On 15 November 2007, Sonae Holding sold, 132,856,072 Sonae Holding shares directly owned by the Company. The shares were sold in a market operation at the unit price of 2.06 euro per share and resulted on a cash inflow (net of brokerage commissions) of 273,398,877 euro.

On the same date, Sonae Investments, BV, wholly owned by Sonae Holding entered into a derivative financial instrument - Cash Settled Equity Swap - over a total of 132,800,000 Sonae Holding shares, representative of 6.64% of its share capital.

This transaction has a maximum maturity of three years and a strictly financial liquidation, without any duty or right for the Company or any of its associated companies in the purchase of these shares. This transaction allows Sonae Investments BV to totally maintain the economic exposure to the sold shares.

In this context, although legally all the rights and obligations inherent to these shares have been transferred to the buyer, Sonae Holding did not derecognize their own shares, recording a liability in the caption Other non-current liabilities (Note 22). According to the interpretation made by Sonae of the IAS 39, applied by analogy to own equity instruments, the derecognition of own shares is not allowed as the group maintains the risks and rewards arising on the instruments sold.

Consequently, Sonae maintains the deduction from Equity amounting to the acquisition cost of the 132,800,000 shares (138,568,275 euro), and has accounted for the consideration received for the above mentioned sale of own shares in the caption Other non-current liabilities (273,568,000 euro).

Due to the detach of Sonae Capital SGPS, SA, as at 4 January 2008, demerger rights attributable to the 132,800,000 Sonae SGPS, SA shares subject to the above mentioned agreement, the Group recognized an asset measured at its' fair value . This asset has not been derecognized as the Group also entered into a Cash Settled Equity Swap over the Sonae Capital SGPS, SA shares, and therefore a liability was recognized.

On 23 April 2009 Sonae Investments BV requested a partial cancellation of the Cash settled Equity Swap for 1,134,965 Sonae Holding shares. Consequently, the derivative financial instrument is now over a total 131,665,035 Sonae Holding shares.

Consequently, and in relation with this operation the full liability amount can be detailed as follows at 30 September 2009: market value of Sonae SGPS, SA shares amounting to 124,423,458 euro and market value of Sonae Capital SGPS, SA shares amounting to 15,438,000 euro, after the conversion of rights occurred on 28 January 2008.

These liabilities are adjusted at the end of each month by the effect in Sonae Holding or Sonae Capital, SGPS, S.A. share price, as applicable, being recognized an asset/liability in order to present the right/obligation related to the cash settlement of the operation that resets monthly.

Additionally, the costs related to the "floating amount" based on Euribor 1 month are recorded in the income statement.

The receivable amount arising on dividends distributed by the Company is credited to Equity in order to offset the charge of the distribution.

During the first nine months the group bought shares of Sonae Holding order to fulfill the Deferred Performance Plan and in accordance with the resolution taken under item 8 of the Shareholders' General Meeting held on the 20 of April of the present year which approved the attribution of shares of this company to executive members of its management body and to employees of this company and of affiliated companies, under the terms of the respective compensation policy.

The number of shares taken into consideration to calculate earnings per share includes the shares referred to above as a deduction to the shares issued by the Company.

At 30 September 2009, the following entities held more than 20% of the subscribed share capital:

21 DERIVATIVES

Exchange rate derivatives

The Group uses exchange rate derivatives, essentially to hedge future cash flows.

The Group contracted several exchange rate forwards and options in order to manage its exchange rate exposure.

As at 30 September 2009, the fair value of exchange rate derivatives witch haven't been considered hedging instruments, calculated based on present market value of equivalent financial instruments of exchange rate, is of 779,216 euro included in liabilities (475,848 euro as of 31 December 2008) and 10,184 euro on the caption current investments (72,494 euro as at 31 December 2008).

The computation of the fair value of these financial instruments was made taking into consideration the present value at balance sheet date of the forward settlement amount of the relevant contract. The settlement amount considered in the valuation, is equal to the reference currency notional amount (foreign currency) multiplied by the difference between the contracted forward exchange rate and the forward exchange market rate to the settlement date as at the valuation date.

Losses in the period arising from changes in the fair value of instruments that do not qualify for hedging accounting treatment were recorded directly in the income statement in the caption Net financial expenses.

Interest rate derivatives

As at 3o September 2009, derivatives used by the Group refer essentially to swaps and interest rate options ("cash flow hedges"). These were negotiated to hedge the interest rate risk of loans amounting to 936,207,940 euro (1,510,850,147 euro as at 31 December 2008). The fair value of these derivatives amounts to (44,834,964) euro ((19,091,434) euro as at 31 December 2008), and is disclosed as assets amounting to 19,422 euro (2,602,678 euro as at 31 December 2008) and as liabilities 44,854,386 euro (21,694,112 euro as at 31 de December de 2008).

These interest rate derivatives are valued at fair value, at the balance sheet date, based on valuations performed by the Group using specific software and on external valuations when this software does not deal with specific instruments. The fair value of swaps was calculated, as at the balance sheet date, based on the discounted cash flow of the difference between the fixed interest rate of the fixed leg and the indexed variable interest rate inherent to the variable leg. The calculation of the fair value of options was based on the "Black-Scholes" and similar models.

Interest rate and exchange rate derivatives

As at 3o September 2009 no contracts existed related to interest rate and exchange rate derivatives.

23 SHARE-BASEDPAYMENTS

In 2009 and in previous years, the Sonae Group granted deferred performance bonuses to its directors and eligible employees. These are either based on shares to be acquired at nil cost, three years after they were attributed to the employee, or based on share options with the exercise price equal to the share price at the grant date, to be exercised three years later. In both cases, the acquisition can be exercised during the period commencing on the third anniversary of the grant date and the end of that year. The company has the choice to settle in cash instead of shares. The option can only be exercised if the employee still works for the Group on the vesting date.

As at 30 September 2009 and 31 December 2008, the market value of total liabilities arising from share-based payments, which have not yet vested, may be summarised as follows:

on municipal claims 11,132,917 23,255,089

  • 11,894,713 euro (15,904,712 euro as at 31 December 2008) to guarantee part of the debt of Sonae Sierra affiliates related with the purchase, sale and exchange of land;

  • 8,552,357 euro (10,576,961 euro as at 31 December 2008) related to VAT reimbursement requests.

Guarantees given on tax claims include a guarantee granted from the Retail businesses company in Brazil of approximately 27,888,790 euro (72,649,760 Brazilian real) on a tax claim, which is being judged by tax courts (21,856,170 euro equivalent to 70,892,539 brazilian real as at 31 December 2008).

As a consequence of the sale of a subsidiary company in Brazil, the Group guaranteed the buyer all the losses incurred by that company arising on unfavourable decisions not open for appeal, concerning tax lawsuits on transactions that took place before the sale date (13 December 2005) and that exceed 40 million euro. As at 30 September 2009, the amount claimed by the Brazilian Tax Authorities concerning the tax lawsuits still in progress, which the company's lawyers assess as having a high probability of loss, amount to near 2,5 million euro.

Furthermore, there are other tax lawsuits totalling 71 million euro for which the Board of Directors, based on the lawyers' assessment, understands will not imply future losses to the sold subsidiary above the referred 40 million euro.

No provision has been registered to face risks arising from events related to guarantees given, as the Board of Directors considers that no liabilities will result for Sonae.

33 COMMITMENTS WITH"INFORMATIONSOCIETY"

Upon being given the UMTS Licence, Optimus (now Sonaecom – Serviços de Comunicações) assumed commitments in the area of promotion of the Information Society, totalling 274 million euro, to be complied with up to the end of the licence period (2015).

In accordance with the Agreement established on 5 June 2007 with the Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Communications ("MOPTC"), part of these commitments, up to 159 million euro will be realised through own projects which qualify as contributions to the Information Society and incurred under the normal activities of Sonaecom – Serviços de Comunicações, S.A. (investment in the network and technology not resulting from the need to comply with the obligations assumed when the UMTS Licence was granted, and activities relating to research, development and promotion of services, contents and applications) which must be recognised by the MOPTC and by entities created especially for that purpose. At the date of approval of these financial statements, Euro 130 million (Euro 64 million in 2007) were already incurred in previous years and were validated by the above referred entities. The remaining amount is currently under evaluation or not yet realized. These charges will be recorded in the financial statements at the moment the projects are carried out and the estimated costs are known.

The remaining commitments, up to the amount of around 116 million euro, will be realised as agreed between Sonaecom- Serviços de Comunicações and MOPTC, through contributions to the "Initiativas E" project (offer of modems, discounts on tariffs, cash contributions, among others, relating to the widespread use of broadband internet by students and teachers), the contributions being made through an Open fund called Information Society Fund (Fundo para a Sociedade de Informação), to be created by the three mobile operators operating in Portugal.The success of this project, initiated in the end of 2007, depended on the beneficiaries' participation to the various initiatives (e-opportunities, e-school and e-teacher) and could have been subject to revision during the a period of 12 months, i.e., until June 2008. Due to these facts, it was not possible, at 31 December 2007, to estimate in a reliable way the success of this project, and therefore, at that date it was not possible to produce a secure and reliable estimate of the responsibilities to be recognised.

Taking into consideration the success of the project during the first semester of 2008, Sonaecom considered that conditions to produce a reliable estimate of the total responsibilities associated with "Initiatives E" project were in place. Therefore, such responsibilities were recorded, at 30 September 2009, as an added cost of the UMTS license, against an entry in the captions 'Other non-current liabilities' and 'Other current liabilities'.

Taking into account major facts occurred up to the third quarter of 2008, namely that: current operators weren't allowed to take part in the 4th license tendering process of an additional license to be attributed without cost; current national and international practice of extension, without costs, of GSM licenses and the renewal of UMTS licenses; the Group's Board of Directors decided to revise the useful life of the UMTS license, extending the amortisation period until 2030, given the high probability of its renewal and the high probability of such renewal being granted without significant costs. Therefore, in accordance with IAS 8, the impacts of the estimated useful life revision were recorded prospectively.

34 PRESENTATION OF CONSOLIDATEDINCOME STATEMENT

In the Management Report, and for the purposes of calculating financial indicators as EBITDA, EBIT and as well for segments income presentation purposes, the income statement is divided between Direct Income and Indirect Income, according to common practice in the Shopping Centre business.

The Indirect Income includes the contribution of the Shopping Centre business to the consolidated income statement, net of taxes, that result from: (i) valuation of investment properties; (ii) gains (losses) with the sale of financial investments, joint ventures or associates; (iii) impairment losses (including goodwill) and (iv) provisions for "Assets at Risk".

The values for 2008 were also reexpressed in order to allow the comparison with 2009, being the EBITDA and EBIT calculated only in the Direct Income, excluding the indirect contributions.

The reconciliation between consolidated income and direct/indirect income for the nine month periods ended 30 September 2009 and 2008 can be summarised as follows:
