"The third quarter was undeniably positive for Sonae. On a consolidated basis we enjoyed double-digit growth in turnover and EBITDA, we improved the competitive standing of our main businesses and we continued to strengthen our capital structure.
On a comparable basis, all of our retail businesses grew, most notably Continente which retained its status as the acknowledged price leader in the market.
Sonae Sierra successfully opened ParkLake, the first Sierra shopping centre developed in Romania and maintained high occupancy rates and profitability levels in European and Brazilian operations.
In telecommunications NOS remained as the operator with highest turnover growth in the market, continued to improve profitability and secured a pivotal position in the management of sport content.
In the year-on-year comparison, consolidated debt at the end of the period continued to decline, and currently has a lower cost and extended maturity, reflecting a more robust balance sheet.
All in all, comforted by the success of adopted strategies, and standing on a greater financial strength, we face future challenges with renewed confidence."
Ângelo Paupério, Sonae Co-CEO

Sonae consolidated turnover stood at €3,882 M, increasing 6.7% when compared to the same period of 2015, benefiting from the positive performance of all the businesses with the exception of RP, driven by the sale and leaseback transactions completed over the course of 2015 and in 1Q16.
Sonae EBITDA increased €9 M, to €301 M, mostly driven by:
Driven by the combination of the lower average net debt and in particular by the lower cost of outstanding debt, Sonae net financial activity improved by €15 M, registering a negative €37 M in 9M16. Sonae average interest rate of outstanding debt continued to decrease and reached 1.4% on September 30 th 2016. It should be noted that Sonae financial results exclude Sonae Sierra and NOS businesses.
Sonae direct results amounted to €120 M, increasing 18.1% on a yearly basis. This was driven by less negative net financial activity and taxes, notwithstanding the lower EBIT.
Sonae indirect results reached €21 M, including the positive effect of the valuation of Sierra's assets in 1H16, the opening of ParkLake in Romania in 3Q16 and the capital gain related to the sale of the 2.14% direct stake in NOS on June 15th 2016. It should be noted that the mark-to-market effect of NOS is included in indirect results until the completion of its sale to Zopt.
Sonae shareholders' funds stood at €2,016 M at the end of 9M16, €171 M above 9M15. Sonae net debt reached €1,248 M, decreasing 4.9% in comparison to 9M15.

Average gearing at book value reached 0.7x, remaining broadly flat in comparison with last year. Average gearing at market value stood at 0.8x, increasing y.o.y. driven by Sonae's market price, as net debt decreased.
Sonae continues to focus on presenting a robust capital structure, optimising funding costs whilst maintaining sufficient back up liquidity and an improved maturity profile (which is currently above 4 years). Sonae started in the 3Q16 an ambitious program to further strengthen the capital structure by launching a formal tender with local and international banks for the refinancing of its facilities, having already refinanced more than €430 M in long-term facilities and around €350 M in short-term facilities. Accordingly, Sonae totally fulfilled its practice of being fully financed for the next 18 months and at the same time improved its general funding conditions.
Net financial debt of MC, SR and RP stood at €726 M in 9M16, €31 M above 9M15, driven by the cash-out related to the acquisition of 50% of Salsa, coupled with the consolidation of Salsa's debt. The net debt to EBITDA at MC, SR and RP stood at 2.0x, increasing when compared to 9M15, driven by the higher net debt.
Holding net debt reached €517 M, decreasing 12.3% y.o.y. and benefiting from the sale of the direct participation at NOS. Loan-to-value ratio of the holding stood at 11%, decreasing in relation to 9M15, benefiting from the lower holding net debt.
Sonae Capex increased from €171 M to €293 M, mostly due to Sonae SR:
MC Capex increased €40 M to €114 M, motivated by the acceleration of the store network expansion, which includes the opening of 14 Continente Bom Dia stores, 1 Continente hypermarket and 14 Well's stores;
SR Capex reached €119 M in 9M16, growing materially y.o.y. mostly impacted by the Capex related to the acquisition of Salsa, which occurred on June 30th 2016;
RP Capex totalled €42 M in 9M16, growing by €6 M y.o.y. mostly driven by MC store network expansion and future developments;
IM Capex reached €15 M in 9M16, increasing €8 M when compared to 9M15, impacted by the technology area.

Over the last quarters, MC has been focused on the implementation of various measures aimed at improving Continente value proposition, which included price perception, communicating the distinctive products' offer (especially for perishables and exclusive brands) and also launching innovative promotions. MC LfL sales performance totalled 4.1% in 3Q16 and 1.8% in 9M16. It is worth highlighting that DECO, the Portuguese Consumers' Association, has recently published the results of its most recent price survey covering the entire country, ranking Continente again as the price leader in Portugal.
At the same time, MC remained focused on implementing its strategy of store network expansion through convenience formats, namely Continente Bom Dia proximity own stores with average sales area slightly below 1 thousand sqm, and Meu Super - franchised local food stores with average sales area around 300 sqm. Accordingly, MC opened 14 Continente Bom Dia stores and 54 Meu Super stores in 9M16, which has contributed towards a MC turnover increase of 5.3% y.o.y., to €2,685 M, which includes a material growth of 8.4% in 3Q16. This strategy has allowed MC not only to defend but also to increase its leading market share.
Despite this strong expansion effort combined with a continuous price investment to face the still strong competitive environment, MC underlying EBITDA margin reached 5.5%, 50bps below 9M15.

Worten division continued to be focused on increasing its EBITDA, which raised from €2 M to €9 M y.o.y., benefiting from the improvement of the results in all operations: Portugal, Spain mainland, Canary Islands and omni-channel, thus reinforcing its position in the Iberian market.
Operationally, the team further implemented its omni-channel strategy in Iberia, leveraging on its physical store network and e-commerce presence. Accordingly, omni-channel sales maintained the increasing trend fuelled by a significant growth of online sales close to 20%. Importantly, it should be noted that Worten posted LfL sales growth of 6.7% in 3Q16.
Importantly, during 9M16, Worten store network was reinforced particularly driven by refurbishments, especially in Spain, allowing to reach important goals in sales area productivity. The sales per sqm continued to grow, increasing by 7% y.o.y..
In what concerns the Sports and Fashion division, which includes Sport Zone, Mo and Zippy, as well as the acquired businesses: Losan – a wholesale player specialised in kids wear, and Salsa – a recognised jeanswear brand, turnover grew by 28.3% in 9M16, to €374. This growth benefited from the positive contribution of Zippy and Sport Zone, but also from the consolidation of Losan and Salsa results. Both acquired brands have a strong international presence as well as a proven track record and will contribute towards reinforcing Sports and Fashion competencies.
The Sports and Fashion EBITDA improved significantly by €10 M in 9M16, to negative €1 M, reaching €9 M in 3Q16. The legacy businesses, namely Sport Zone and Zippy, had a positive contribution to this evolution. It should be noted that Sport Zone in Spain continued to register a positive y.o.y. EBITDA contribution. Regarding Mo, despite the recent efforts in rebalancing its value proposition, the performance of this brand was still below expectations.
SR turnover stood at €1,008 M in 9M16, posting an increase of 9.9% when compared to 9M15, backed by both Worten and Sports and Fashion divisions. As for SR EBITDA, it stood at €8 M in 9M16, posting a material improvement y.o.y., driven by both SR divisions.

RP manages Sonae's retail real estate portfolio and currently includes real estate assets with a net book value amounting to €909 M.
RP completed 3 sale and leaseback transactions in the amount of €230 M in 9M16, equivalent to a capital gain of approximately €63 M. This strategy enabled releasing capital from mature real estate assets while also maintaining adequate operational flexibility. MC's freehold is now at 51%, moving closer to the stated target freehold level. At the end of 9M16, MC's real estate portfolio included 22 Continente stores, 62 Continente Modelo stores and 21 Continente Bom Dia stores. As for SR's freehold, it stood at 22% as of 9M16.
RP turnover decreased 24.9%, to €69 M, driven mostly by freehold reduction at MC, from 62% in 9M15, to 51% at the end of 9M16. The underlying EBITDA amounted to €60 M, corresponding to an underlying EBITDA margin of 87.2%.
It should be noted that RP has been responsible for a considerable part of MC's convenience store network expansion. Accordingly, RP Capex as of 9M16 stood at €42 M and grew by €6 M y.o.y..

Sierra has been further implementing its recycling capital strategy by reducing exposure to more mature shopping malls and reinvesting in developing others:
On the operational side, Sierra further proved the quality of its assets:
Sierra's turnover reached €150 M, a decrease of 7.2% when compared to 9M15, only driven by the asset disposals already mentioned. The EBIT stood at €71 M, less 7.7% y.o.y., corresponding to an EBIT margin of 46.9%. Excluding the portfolio changes and the exchange rate effect mentioned previously, EBIT increased 5% as a consequence of higher rental income and higher services rendered mainly to clients outside Sierra's shopping centre portfolio.
NAV (Net Asset Value) reached €1.286 bn at the end of 9M16, €107 M above December 2015, reflecting both the direct and indirect results of the period, the favourable exchange rate effect less the dividends payment. Loan-to-value stood at 30% in 9M16, compared to a value of 42% in 9M15.
