1. Sonaecom Consolidated Results

Introductory notes

Until 26 August 2013, Optimus - SGPS, S.A. (Optimus) was fully owned by Sonaecom, SGPS, S.A. (Sonaecom). Following the completion of the merger between Optimus and Zon - Serviços de Telecomunicações e Multimédia, SGPS, S.A. (Zon),
Sonaecom has held, since 27 August 2013, a 50% stake in ZOPT, SGPS, S.A., (ZOPT), which in turn holds a 50

Sonaecom adjusted the 2013 profit and loss statements on a pro forma basis, assuming that the ZON OPTIMUS merger occurred on 1 January 2013, with some consolidation effects in our co-controlled vehicle company. This criterion, besides
assuring an easier and fairer comparability between 2013 and 2014 results, is in line with the curre method adopted by NOS and market expectations.

Additionally, Sonaecom also had, until 25 February 2014, a direct holding of 7.28% in the capital of NOS. Since that date, following the tender offer for the general and voluntary acquisition of treasury shares launched by Sonaecom, the
Company's direct participation in NOS was reduced to 2.14%.

The direct holding in NOS is recorded as an 'Investment at fair value through profit or loss'.

Sonaecom's portfolio also comprises 100% of the Software and Systems Information division (SSI) and Público, which are fully consolidated and some Media businesses which are consolidated through equity method.

On July, 18th, Sonaecom acquired a 60% stake of the share capital of S21Sec, a multinational based in Madrid, specialized in cyber security services and technologies. This group was fully consolidated in SSI division since August 2014.

On September 30th, the affiliate Sonaecom - Sistemas de Informação, SGPS, SA sold to NOS - Comunicações, S.A. the total share capital of Mainroad. Subsequent to this operation, Sonaecom adjusted the 2013 and the 1H14 profit and loss statements on a pro-forma basis, assuming Mainroad contribution as a discontinued operation since January 2013.

Turnover

Consolidated turnover in 9M14 reached 90.1 million euros, increasing 3.9% when compared to 9M13, or 1.0% excluding S21Sec contribution.

This rise was fuelled by an increase of 17.0% in product sales, which more than offset the decrease of 1.4% in service revenues.

Operating costs

Operating costs amounted to 87.6 million euros, 4.5% above the same period of 2013. The level of personnel costs increased 6.9% between the two periods mainly driven by S21sec headcount. Commercial costs grew 19.3%, to 26.3 million euros, driven by SSI increase in cost of goods sold, aligned with product sales evolution. As for other operating costs, the decline is mainly explained by lower level of provisions and outsourcing costs.

EBITDA

Total EBITDA stood at 34.0 million euros, up by 29.8% when compared to 9M13, primarily as a result of discontinued operations, as underlying EBITDA and equity results line decreased by 14.7% and 15.4%, respectively. The equity results were mostly impacted by ZOPT contribution, which in turn is linked to NOS net income. On what concerns the underlying EBİTDA evolution, it stood at 4.8 million euros.

The underlying EBITDA margin reached 5.3% that compares with 6.5% in 9M13. This evolution is mainly driven by the higher weight of equipment sales which generates lower margins and by S21Sec breakeven EBITDA.

Net results

Sonaecom's EBIT increased 36.0% y.o.y. to 29.1 million euros fully explained by the higher EBITDA. Net financial results stood at negative 5.9 million euros in 9M14, impacted by the adjustment of NOS fair value, at market price, contributing with a negative 8.2 million euros, despite the 1.3 million euros of dividends received from the 2.14% direct stake on NOS. In the same period of 2013, the adjustment of NOS fair value was positive by 9.1 million euros.

Sonaecom's earnings before tax (EBT) decreased to 23.2 million euros fully driven by the lower net financial results.

Net results group share, stood at 23.0 million euros, which compares with 39.9 million euros in 9M13.

Operating CAPEX

Sonaecom's underluing operating CAPEX increased from 4.1 million euros to 4.7 million euros.

Capital structure

Gross debt totalled 16.9 million euros, versus 29.5 million euros in 9M13. Net debt reached a very comfortable negative 166.0 million euros - a positive cash position. Gross debt includes total Gross debt of 10.0 million euros of S21sec, in which Sonaecom has a 60% stake.
