Sonae

CEO letter

Dear all,

2025 was an outstanding year for Sonae, reinforcing our confidence that we are building a cohesive group of leading businesses with the scale, capabilities and ambition to create economic and social value in the long run.

After a significant reconfiguration of Sonae's portfolio last year, namely through the important investments in Musti and Druni, in 2025 our efforts were focused on successfully integrating these companies, while continuing to support all businesses to thrive even further in their markets.

I am proud to share that we reached record highs with turnover reaching €11.4bn, increasing by 14%, while underlying EBITDA rose 24% to €1.12bn, with a margin improvement from 9.1% to 9.9%.

This operational performance allowed us to consolidate our ongoing deleveraging path and, all in all, to close this year with an impressive NAV growth of 15%.

Our businesses thrived

MC once again stood out with a remarkable year.

The grocery segment delivered an outstanding performance, with like-for-like sales growth of 8.3%, driven primarily by a strong volume evolution in a moderate inflation environment. Continente continued to gain market share, further strengthening its leadership position, including in fresh categories and in the online channel. This strong top-line performance, combined with extensive efficiency initiatives, enabled MC to deliver an underlying EBITDA of €728m, a 0.6pp margin improvement year-on-year.

In parallel, MC's health and beauty segment posted another year of accelerated growth, with sales increasing 12% on a comparable basis, supported by a robust like-for-like performance and a continued expansion of the store network. The Druni partnership with the Casp family proved to be a decisive step, establishing a leading Iberian platform alongside Wells. I am very confident in the long-term value creation potential of this growth avenue in a market with structural tailwinds.

Overall, MC delivered an excellent year, with turnover reaching €8.9bn, up 16% year-on-year, and underlying EBITDA rising to €957m, with a margin expansion of 0.8pp.

Worten delivered very positive turnover growth and progress in profitability throughout the year. Turnover surpassed €1.5bn, supported by continued market share gains, sustained double-digit online growth and the resilience of the core business. iServices, part of Worten, further expanded its presence beyond Portugal, reinforcing its position in an attractive and underserved repair services segment. In October, we also welcomed a new leadership team to steer the company in its trajectory of growth and improved profitability.

Musti delivered solid topline growth, with sales increasing 14% year-on-year, supported by positive like-for-like performance across the Nordics and the integration of Pet City in the Baltics. In December, Musti acquired Zu, which operates in Portugal and was previously part of MC. With this move, Musti further extended its geographic reach. Norway and Finland stood out with particularly strong momentum, while profitability showed clear signs of improvement across all geographies. We remain highly confident in Musti's long-term growth prospects and its strategic fit within Sonae's retail ecosystem.

Sierra delivered improved net results in 2025, supported by the strong performance of its shopping centre portfolio, which recorded yet another year of growth in footfall and tenant sales. In October, Sierra acquired Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield's Real Estate Management division in Germany, becoming the second-largest property manager of third-party shopping centres in the country, building on the deep expertise developed throughout decades. This was an important strategic move for Sierra.

NOS was able to thrive in a new competitive environment and delivered a strong operational performance, with revenues surpassing €1.8bn and underlying profitability improving year-on-year. In early 2025, NOS took an important step by acquiring Claranet Portugal, to more comprehensively serve the B2B client segment with a broader ICT offering.

These outstanding achievements reflect the strength of our winning value propositions, which consistently reinforce the market-leading positions of our businesses, while we remain disciplined in driving efficiency improvements and making rigorous investment decisions.

This performance has been further fuelled by leveraging collaboration opportunities across our companies, which this year included a very significant reinforcement of our consumer ecosystem through cross-loyalty initiatives such as Worten Life, Combina, and Universo+.


Sonae

2025 was also an important year in terms of innovation, led by improvements in our digital and AI-driven capabilities, allowing for more customized, individual-centric offers and more efficient ways of serving our clients.

We are confident in the strength of our portfolio, which is well positioned for long-term value creation. It is balanced both geographically and across sectors, with all businesses holding relevant market positions and strong value propositions, benefiting from exposure to markets with solid structural tailwinds. We look to the future with confidence and optimism.

We do what's right

I am also pleased to share that Sonae has once again been invited to be part of the S&P 2026 Sustainability Yearbook, in recognition of our continued ESG progress, a commitment we pursue with unwavering dedication.

In addition, Sonae, MC and NOS were recognized for their leadership in tackling climate change by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), earning a place on the prestigious "A List." This distinction includes only around 1% of the more than 23 thousand companies assessed worldwide, highlighting the strength of our performance and transparency in climate-related matters.

It was with great sadness that we witnessed the unprecedented weather conditions that struck Portugal at the beginning of 2026, causing significant human and material damage. In moments like these, the true character of an organization becomes evident. I am deeply proud of the way Sonae's teams responded, swiftly mobilizing resources to support the affected communities, partners and suppliers, while working tirelessly to ensure the continuity of our store operations and telecommunications networks despite an exceptionally challenging environment.

At Sonae, we genuinely care. Supporting the communities where we operate is not just a responsibility: it is part of who we are. Acting with solidarity, empathy, and a strong sense of social duty is unquestionable. When our communities need us most, we stand by them.

Thank you for your support

The strength of our portfolio and the resilience of our businesses, led by talented and energetic management teams, together with the enduring value creation drivers enabled by being part of the Sonae ecosystem, have been increasingly recognized by investors. The

evolution of the Sonae share price stood out this year. I could not be prouder of what we have achieved so far and am truly honoured by the growing trust. To our shareholders, we are grateful for your steadfast confidence.

To our business partners, we sincerely appreciate your continued engagement and collaboration, which are essential to our shared success.

And to our teams, a heartfelt thank you for your resilience, dedication, and unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity. Your daily efforts enable us to better serve our customers, navigate an evolving landscape, and strengthen Sonae's foundations for the years ahead.

Together, we continue shaping tomorrow, today!

Overview

Key Financial Indicators

  • Consolidated turnover rose 14.2% in 2025 to €11.4m, driven by solid like-for-like sales growth and store openings in retail. This performance was mainly driven by MC, in both the grocery and health and beauty segments, but also by Worten and Musti. This strong display translated into reinforced market shares across all markets where Sonae operates.
  • The underlying EBITDA margin improved from 9.1% to 9.9% in 2025, underpinned by higher sales and gross margins, combined with strong operational efficiency gains. As such, a record-high underlying EBITDA was reached at €1.1bn, growing by €215m (+23.6%).
  • EBITDA grew from €1.0bn to €1.2bn (+17.6%), resulting in a margin improvement from 10.4% to 10.7%.
  • Net Result group share reached €247m, up by 11.1%, driven by the 23.7% year-on-year increase in Direct Result.
  • Consolidated net debt decreased €102m to €1,470m, driven by the solid evolution of operational cash flow. The sale of Sierra's direct stake in Parque Dom Pedro, announced on the 31st of December, will have material cash impact in 2026. The Group's balance sheet remains strong, with a comfortable debt maturity of over 4 years and a loan-to-value of 13.7%, having decreased from 15.9% since the beginning of the year.
  • NAV at market references grew in 2025 by 15% to €5.1bn, with NAV per outstanding share reaching €2.62. Sonae's share price sustained its strong upward momentum throughout 2025, rising by 76% with a closing price of 1.612€/share. As a result, share price discount to reported NAV at 2025 year-end narrowed from 60% to 38%.

MC

75% stake, fully consolidated

Grocery division

MC's grocery business delivered strong performance in FY25, sustaining market share gains throughout the year and reinforcing Continente's leadership in a competitive environment.

Full-year turnover increased to €7.1bn (+10% yoy), driven by like-for-like sales growth of 8.3%. Growth was primarily volume-driven, reflecting the strength of Continente's value proposition in a context of moderate inflation. This performance was further supported by network expansion, with 13 supermarkets, mainly on proximity, opened during the year. In 4Q25, momentum remained solid, with like-for-like growth of 8.4%, confirming the resilience of demand and consistent execution throughout the year.

Turnover (€bn) & uEBITDA margin (%)

img-1.jpeg

FY25 grocery underlying EBITDA reached €728m, corresponding to a 10.2% margin, up +0.6pp, supported by sales performance, operating leverage and ongoing efficiency initiatives, particularly store productivity gains. In 4Q25, underlying EBITDA also further improved from 9.9% to 10.2%.

Health & Beauty division

In health and beauty, MC further strengthened its position as a leading Iberian player, leveraging the scale and complementary positioning of Wells, Druni and Arenal to accelerate growth and enhance competitiveness.

FY25 turnover increased to €1.8bn, with like-for-like sales rising 5.6%, reflecting the full consolidation of Druni, robust organic growth and continued network expansion across Iberia, with 42 stores opened during the year. Druni also entered the Portuguese market, closing FY25 with four stores in the country. In 4Q25, like-for-like growth reached 5.4%, confirming the segment's consistent growth trajectory.

img-2.jpeg

Full-year underlying EBITDA rose to €230m, corresponding to a margin of 13.1% (+0.6pp yoy), despite a highly competitive backdrop. In 4Q25, underlying EBITDA also further improved from 12.7% to 13.7%.

Consolidated MC

Overall, MC's turnover reached €8.9bn in FY25 (+16% yoy), with like-for-like growing by 7.9%. In 4Q25, also confirmed the trend observed throughout the year with sales increasing by 10%, supported by solid like-for-like growth of 7.7%.

underlying EBITDA increased to €957m (vs. €765m in FY24), translating into a margin of 10.8%, an improvement of 0.8pp in underlying EBITDA margin (+0.4pp in 4Q25).

This performance reflects strong operational execution, scale benefits and disciplined investment in expansion and capabilities across both segments, reinforcing MC's market leadership and long-term value creation profile.

Turnover (€bn) & uEBITDA margin (%)

img-3.jpeg

Worten

100% stake, fully consolidated

Worten's turnover increased by 7.5% to €1.5bn, supported by a solid like-for-like sales growth of 5.8%, a positive contribution from core electronics and appliances, as well as services.

Worten reinforced its digital positioning, increasing the share of online sales from 17% in 2024 to 20% in 2025, with both physical stores and digital channels playing a central role in its compelling omnichannel value proposition.

Despite progress in sales and commercial margins, pressure on the cost structure constrained profitability in 2025. Year-end underlying EBITDA decreased from €78m to €76m, reflecting a weaker first half, stabilization in 3Q,

img-4.jpeg

and an improvement in 4Q that did not fully offset the earlier shortfall. In 4Q25, underlying EBITDA reached €35m, up €2.5m year-on-year, with a margin of 7.1%, in line with 4Q24.

iServices, the group's international mobile phone repair brand, continued its expansion in the last quarter of the year, entering in new markets (Netherlands and Spain Mainland), opening 4 stores in Portugal and 12 internationally. Following this expansion, iServices ended 2025 with 130 locations across Portugal (73), Belgium (26), France (16), the Canary Islands (9), the Netherlands (3), and Spain Mainland (3).


Sonae

Musti

c.81% stake, fully consolidated

Musti reported its 4Q/FY25 results to the market on 10 February.

In 2025, Musti made significant progress in strengthening its position in the Nordics, integrating PetCity in the Baltics (acquired in 4Q24) and welcoming ZU in Portugal (acquired from MC in December 2025). As of year-end 2025, Musti had expanded its presence to seven countries.

Turnover increased by 14.4%, supported by recently acquired businesses, store openings and a robust like-for-like sales performance of 3.3% (vs. 0.2% in the previous year). The company also delivered consistent gross margin expansion, improving from 43.6% to 44.0%, while progressive efficiency gains contributed to a steady recovery in underlying EBITDA.

img-5.jpeg
Turnover (€m) & uEBITDA margin (%)

Pet care is a market segment with strong, long-term tailwinds driven by increasing pet humanisation, premiumisation trends, and resilient consumer demand. In this context, Musti holds a pivotal role as a key growth engine for Sonae in the segment.

Real Estate

Sierra

100% stake, fully consolidated

Sierra delivered an outstanding performance in 2025, further accelerating the strong momentum established in 2024 and achieving significant year-on-year growth. This performance was driven by (i) sustained momentum across its European shopping centre portfolio; (ii) the significant expansion of its services business through both organic and inorganic initiatives; and (iii) the continued advancement of its development projects, reinforcing a clear trajectory of scalable growth and long-term value creation.

The European shopping centre portfolio recorded resilient growth, with tenant like-for-like sales increasing by 4.6% on a like-for-like basis during the year, supporting rental growth while sustaining healthy occupancy cost ratios below pre-pandemic levels. Occupancy remained near-full at 99%, and rent collection was robust. Sierra also continued to actively manage the portfolio through targeted refurbishments and capital recycling initiatives, including the disposal of its stake in Fashion City Outlet in Greece and Parque Dom Pedro in Brazil.

Services activity expanded during the year, further strengthening Sierra's leadership in the sector. In October, Sierra acquired Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield's Real Estate Management division in Germany, becoming the second-largest third-party shopping centre property manager in the country. This strategic move strengthened Sierra's international footprint and reinforced its recurring fee-based income profile with key partners. In investment management, Sierra also continued to innovate and diversify its platform, launching its first open-ended vehicle in partnership with CCAM, seeded with Arrábida and GaiaShopping.

In sector diversification, the year ended with a landmark joint venture for Sierra's PBSA platform and the acquisition of a first asset. Development activity progressed steadily, with projects under construction advancing, the successful commercialization of residential and mixed-use schemes, and ongoing acquisitions to expand the build-to-sell and build-to-rent pipeline across Iberia.

NAV stood at approximately €1.2bn after dividends paid of €49m, up 6% year-on-year, reflecting continued value creation across the portfolio. Net result reached €110m in FY'25, supported mainly by stronger operational performance, improving shopping centre valuations.

Sonae

Telco & Technology

Sonae's investments in the Telco & Technology areas are concentrated in Sonaecom which published its 4Q/FY25 results on March 6th. Further details on these areas' performance can be found at Sonaecom's announcement available here.

NOS

37.4% stake, equity consolidated¹

Despite operating in a highly challenging competitive environment in the Telecommunications segment, NOS has consistently delivered solid operational results quarter after quarter, which, combined with the diversification of its revenue streams, notably into the IT segment following the acquisition of Claranet Portugal in early 2025, and the implementation of meaningful efficiency gains under its ongoing transformation program, lead to robust and sustainable financial results.

In 2025, turnover increased by 1.6% to €1.8bn, while EBITDAaL rose by 4.0% to €680m, leading to a margin improvement of 0.9pp to 37.3%. Net income decreased by €26m to €246m, reflecting the lower volume of positive one-off effects recognized vs in 2024, amounting to more than €80m. Excluding these non-recurring impacts, net income increased by €55m year-on-year.

In Sonae's consolidated accounts, NOS's contribution under the equity method amounted to €92m in 2025 (€29m in 4Q).
