EARNINGS ANNOUNCEMENT 30 JUNE 2016

30 JUNE 2016

1. CEO MESSAGE & MAIN HIGHLIGHTS

"The competitive position improvement of each Business Unit and the placement of the main non-strategic assets will continue to be the focus of the entire Team in order to materialize the defined corporate strategy.

In respect to the competitive position improvement, it should be highlighted, at the Turnover level, the growth, compared to the same period last year, registered by Fitness (+15.4%), Hospitality (+12.4%) and Refrigeration & HVAC (+20.8%) segments, with the corresponding positive consequences noted also at the Ebitda level. It should also be noted the opening of a new Hotel in Oporto, at the end of April, following a capital light approach, targeted to the increased touristic demand, which has already achieved a positive contribution on the second full month of operation. It should also be mentioned the implementation of the Fitness expansion plan with the opening of two new fitness clubs in the 2Q16. On the other hand, Energy Turnover, as already expected, registered a decrease driven by the lower number of cogeneration plants in operation notwithstanding the improvement in profitability when compared to the previous semester. In addition, we continue to observe, as previously announced, a decrease in sales deeds signed in Troia Resort driven by the slowdown of the "golden visa" market. However, the domestic market started to recover and we expect that to increase with the launch of the new product "fractional".

Regarding the disposal of non-strategic assets, it should be noted the agreement reached, in the 2Q16, for the sale of the stake in Norscut, for a total amount of 42M€, representing another step towards the achievement of this important goal, with the process being on its final closing procedures.

Finally, it should be pointed out the positive generation of operational cash flow which has allowed to maintain a comfortable capital structure. The Dividend payment related to 2015, in the 2Q16, was another important milestone in the recent history of the Group."

Cláudia Azevedo, CEO

NET PROFIT REACHED 9.8M€ IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2016. POSITIVE PERFORMANCE DEVELOPMENTS IN THE MAJORITY OF THE RECURRENT EBITDA TYPE OF BUSINESSES.

Consolidated TURNOVER amounted to 80.4M€, registering a growth of 2.1%:

  • § It stands out, on the positive side, the continued performance improvement of the Hospitality (+12.4%) and Fitness (+15.4%) segments. The improvement of 20.8% registered in the Refrigeration & HVAC segment following the strategic positioning made along 2015, should also be highlighted;
  • § Resorts Turnover amounted to 11.1M€, having been signed during the reporting period 11 deeds over real estate units in Troia Resort. It should be noted that already in July 3 additional deeds have been signed to which a stock of 9 promissory purchase of sale and reserve agreements should be added;
  • § As previously advanced, due to the discontinuation of a cogeneration plant, the change of the licensing framework in another one during 2015 and, also, the unfavorable evolution of oil prices, the Energy segment Top Line showed a decrease of 7.07M€ to 21.51M€.

30 JUNE 2016

Consolidated EBITDA amounted to 5.64M€, being worth to highlight:

  • § The continued growth of the Hospitality (+6.4%) and Fitness (+17.7%) segments and, as a result of the strategic repositioning and the number and value of projects in backlog, the Refrigeration & HVAC segment posted a growth to almost the double of that recorded in the 1H15 (or 0.72M€);
  • § The Resorts segment, driven by a lower number of deeds signed, reported a decrease of 1.0M€;
  • § The Energy segment, which registered in 1H15 the best semester ever, following the Turnover evolution posted a decrease of 24.7%, notwithstanding the better performance when compared to the previous semester;
  • § The Real Estate Assets segment (included in Others & Eliminations) reported a significant reduction negatively impacted with the sale, in the 2Q15, of "Duque de Loulé" asset that registered a capital gain of, approximately, 6.0M€.

Consolidated 1H16 NET RESULTS amounted to positive 9.82M€, representing an improvement of 8.96M€ compared to the 1H15. It should also be highlighted, driven by the Net Debt trend and the constant financing cost optimization, the 0.40M€ reduction registered at the Net Financial expenses level.

FREE CASH FLOW (levered) amounted to 8.1M€ (-6.5M€ including the Dividend payment relating to 2015), leveraging on the cash generation from the current operations.

Consolidated NET DEBT, driven by the FCF performance previously mentioned, registered an increase of 6.9M€ when compared to the end of 2015, to 156.1M€.

SOLID PERFORMANCE IN THE SECOND QUARTER WITH SIGNIFICANT PROGRESSES AT THE PROFITABILITY LEVEL.

Consolidated TURNOVER grew 8.1% with the majority of the businesses reporting two digits growth when compared to the same period last year, notwithstanding the Energy segment decrease already mentioned.

Consolidated EBITDA amounted to 4.04M€, 58.2% below last year figure, being worth to highlight the real estate sales contribution namely the capital gain generated by the sale, in the 2Q15, of the 'Duque de Loulé' Real Estate asset.

NET PROFIT, in the quarter, amounted to positive 13.70M€, registering an increase of 10.17M€ when compared to the 2Q15, due to the performance at the Investment Income level, following the capital gain associated to the sale of the Norscut stake.

(1) EBITDA excluding the estimated present value of potential costs for the period of the Guaranteed Income from real estate sales at Troia Resort (2) Non-recurrent items mainly related to restructuring costs and one-off income

Consolidated Turnover in the 1H16 reached 80.43M€, registering an increase of 2.1% over the same period last year, driven by a combination of several effects. On the positive side, it should be highlighted: (i) Fitness (+15.4%), supported on the increased number of active members and higher average monthly fees; (ii) Hospitality (+12.4%), following both the better performance of current operations and the contribution of the new operation, opened in the 2Q16, 'The House Ribeira'; and (iii) Refrigeration & HVAC (+20.8%), due to the increased activity levels and the delivery of important projects. The performance shown by these segments more than offset the lower contributions from: (i) Energy (-24.8%), mainly driven by prices evolution (1H15 was the best semester ever in this segment) and the reduction of cogeneration plants in operation; and (ii) Resorts (-19.1%) due to a lower number of deeds signed compared to the same period last year, with the operations that support the Resort maintaining the same volumes registered last year.

1H16 Consolidated EBITDA amounted to 5.64M€, corresponding to a margin of 7.0%, registering a decrease of 55.3% or 6.98M€ when compared to the 1H15. The comparison to the same period last year is penalized mainly, besides the segments with lower Top Line performance (Resorts, -75.9% and Energy, -24.7%) by the impact of the sale, in the 1H15, of non-strategic real estate assets, namely "Duque de

30 JUNE 2016

Loulé" which generated a capital gain of approximately 6.0M€ in the consolidated results. On the positive side, it should be highlighted the performance of: (i) the Refrigeration & HVAC segment that posted an improvement of 0.72M€ (to almost the double when compared to 1H15) following the complete implementation of the new strategic positioning; (ii) the Fitness segment (+17.7%) driven by the Top Line performance; and (iii) the Hospitality segment that registered an improvement of 6.4%.

1H16 Net Results were positive 9.82M€, a significant improvement of 8.96M€ when compared to the same period last year, being noted as main contributions: (i) in addition to the already highlighted decrease in EBITDA level (-6.98M€); (ii) the contribution of Investment results of 14.4M€, due to the accounting of the capital gain related to the sale of Norscut; and (iii) the positive contribution of the decrease in net financial charges of 0.40M€ as a result of lower financing costs driven by the lower levels of Net Debt.

2.2. CAPEX

Capex in the period amounted to 2.9M€, registering a decrease of 3.8M€ when compared to the same period last year. The main investment projects in the period were relative to Fitness - implementation of the expansion plan with the opening of two new clubs - and Hospitality - opening of 'The House Ribeira' -, both following a capital light approach.

2.3. CAPITAL STRUCTURE

At the end of 1H16, Net Debt amounted to 156.1M€, 4.6% above the level registered at the end of 2015. This result was driven by the current operations cash generation which partially offset the impact of dividends payment related to 2015 occurred in 2Q16.

It should also be highlighted that, when compared to the same period last year, Net Debt shows a reduction of 44.5M€.

Capital structure, due to the above-mentioned increase in Net Debt levels, set the Debt to Equity ratio to 50.1%, 2.0pp higher than at the end of 2015, although showing a favorable trend in the last 12 months.

Taking into consideration the different types of assets that are part of Sonae Capital's portfolio, capital structure should be evaluated considering the coexistence of businesses that generate recurrent EBITDA, measured by a Net Debt/EBITDA ratio and Real Estate Assets that should be evaluated according to its fair market value. Assuming the Group Real Estate Assets valuations, at the end of 1H16, the implied ratios of Loan to Value (LTV) and non real estate Net Debt/EBITDA businesses amounted to 23.7% and 2.57x, respectively, reflecting a conservative and comfortable capital structure considering Sonae Capital businesses portfolio structure.

3.3. HOSPITALITY

In order to present comparable information, the contribution of the Lagos hotel operation (Aqualuz Lagos), was excluded from the 2015 segment results.

Compared to 1H15 and following the previously reported trend, Top Line of the Hospitality segment showed a growth of 12.4% to 6.44M€. This performance resulted mainly from the 3.7pp increase in occupancy rate. In the same period, the number of room nights sold increased 14.0% in the total Group's hotel properties and RevPar also revealed an improvement of 14.2%.

As a result of the positive business indicators performance and of the Top Line increase, combined with the optimization and cost rationalization measures implemented over the past few years, EBITDA, in 1H16, showed an improvement of 6.4% over the same period last year. It should be noted that the first half of 2016 already includes the contribution of the new hotel "The House Ribeira Porto Hotel" (opened in April) thus, on a comparable basis, the EBITDA improvement amounted to 12.6%. It should be pointed out that the new Hotel, opened following a capital light approach, has already presented a positive contribution in the second full month of operation, as a result of high occupancy rates.

Excluding rents, it should be highlighted that the Hospitality segment EBITDAR, in 1H16, was positive 0.16M€, reverting the negative values recorded in 1H15. Pointing out the turnover seasonality, the first and fourth quarters usually register negative EBITDARs that are more than compensated by the positive results of the second and, mainly, the third quarters' activity.

Hospitality Capex amounted to 1.19M€ reflecting the investment in the opening of the new hotel "The House Ribeira Porto Hotel". As such, EBITDA-Capex decreased 37.2% compared to 1Q15.

30 JUNE 2016

As above-mentioned, during 2Q16, a new hotel "The House Ribeira Porto Hotel" was opened. Developed following a capital light approach, it is a unit with 56 rooms, a multifunctional area with bar and lounge, located in Ribeira, the heart of the historic centre of Porto. It targets an urban, modern, demanding and informed audience that seeks the authenticity of Porto city.

In 1H16, Top Line of the Energy segment reported a decrease of 24.8% to 21.5M€. This performance is explained by: (i) the reduction of selling energy prices as a result of the evolution of oil price; and (ii) the lower number of cogeneration plants in operation, due to the discontinuation, in 4Q15, of a cogeneration plant and the change, also in 4Q15, of the licensing framework in another plant.

As expected, EBITDA, in the period, registered a decrease of 24.7%, when compared to the same period last year, to 4.29M€, as a result of the above-mentioned reasons that impacted Top Line.

It should be noted that 1H15 was the best quarter ever in the history of the segment. In effect, over the previous semester, Top Line reduced only 2.2% and EBITDA improved 22.4%.

Capex amounted to 0.2M€, 84.2% lower than 1H15. The EBITDA-Capex level showed a decrease of 7.6% to 4.09M€.
