The consolidated financial information disclosed in this report is based on unaudited financial statements, prepared in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS), issued by the Internationa Union.
Consolidated Turnover of 35.7 million euros increasing 8.6% y.o.y.
Positive EBITDA evolution mainly driven by the capital gain generated by the partial sale of the stake at Arctic Wolf and by equity
results from ZOPT
NOS with strong Telco operating performance and presenting the 1st quarter of Consolidated Revenues growth since 4Q19
Technology area with solid growth and profitability improvements
On 2021 January 7th, following the worsening pandemic situation it was formally declared a new state of emergency and a new national lockdown which marked almost the full quarter in Portugal. The evolution of cases numbers worldwide continued to trend up in 2Q with Europe and USA being regions strongly affected by the second wave. Since April with the vaccination process speeding-up in Europe and USA, we have been experiencing a progressive deconfinement and reopening of economy.
The Board of Directors continued to follow in detail and with great concern all the pandemic developments, following closely the position of the competent international entities, namely the World Health Organization and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, as well as the Portuguese Directorate-General of Health.
Aligned with the Group's Risk Management Policies, contingency plans with correspondent mitigation actions were constantly updated and actioned across all companies and departments, allowing to keep our employees protected and to face this turmoil period with the less loss of value.
The financial and operational impacts continued to be different across segments:
Overall, the macroeconomic context remains uncertain and intrinsically dependent on the epidemiological evolution and control, on governmental intervention to comply with vaccination plans, as well as on the support provided to the overall economy.
However, given the company's capital structure, with a significant amount in cash and bank deposits and a low amount of remunerated debt, no material changes in the Company's liquidity are expected. Furthermore, Sonaecom will continue to implement all measures deemed appropriate to minimize their impacts, in line with the recommendation of the competent entities and in the best interest of all our stakeholders.
In the 1H21, and following the agreement signed with Claranet Portugal, S.A. to sell the entire share capital and voting rights of Bizdirect, which was announced on June 1st, Bizdirect was considered a discontinued operation.
The 2021 Bizdirect balance figures were classified as held for sale and all comparative periods were restated to include Bizdirect results as a discontinued operation in the profit and loss statement.
At the end of 2020, Sonae IM reassessed the accounting of its minority stakes. Given its active investor approach, and the existence of significant influence in the majority of those stakes, Sonae IM applied the exemption provided by IAS28, and elected to measure those investments at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS9.
Until 3Q20, the referred investments were recorded at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity). The 2020 quarters presented in this document were restated to include this reclassification.
Telecommunications area, which includes a 50% stake in ZOPT - consolidated through the equity method - which owns 52.15% stake in NOS, despite being strongly impacted by COVID 19 pandemic, namely with a significant reduction of revenues from roaming and from Cinema & Audiovisuals business, continued to present a solid operating performance in Telco segment.
2Q21 benefitted from the reopen of cinema theatres on April 19th (closed since January 15th), with encouraging attendance, and from a slight roaming recovery, which coupled with the solid performance of telco segment, resulted in the first quarter of consolidated revenues growth since 4Q19.
Strategic partnerships and the launch of innovative IT, data and cloud solutions continue to drive growth in B2B, as NOS positions itself as the partner of choice for Portuguese companies and public entities in their path toward digital transformation.
Investment levels continued to reflect the FttH deployment and the preparation of mobile network for 5G launch, as and when, frequencies are attributed. 5G spectrum auction is still ongoing with limited visibility on timing due to the flawed nature of the framework.
During 1H21, and with regard to portfolio activity, Technology area: (i) sold part of its stake in Artic Wolf for a gross amount of €36.4 M and with a gross capital gain of around €12.3 M; (ii) entered in the share capital of Sellforte, a SaaS platform that measures the effectiveness of online and offline marketing investments and Portainer.io, one of the most popular container management platforms globally; and iii) together with the remaining shareholders, reached an agreement with Claranet Portugal, S.A. to sell the entire share capital and voting rights of Bizdirect.
1H21 was also marked by relevant achievements in some of its minority investments indirectly held through Armilar funds: i) Feedzai, that announced a series D round with an implicit valuation that turned the company into an unicorn; and ii) Outsystems announced a 150 million dollars capital raise, co-led by Abdiel Capital and Tiger Global, at an underlying valuation of 9.5 billion dollars. Still regarding Arctic Wolf, the company recently announced a financing round of \$150 M by existing and n Outsystems and Arctic Wolf are a good sign of the companies' strong evolution and potential.
Consolidated turnover in 1H21 reached 35.7 million euros, increasing 8.6%, when compared to 1H20. This positive evolution was driven by both Media and Technology area, the latter presenting a growth of 10.8% y.o.y..
Operating costs amounted to 40.7 million euros, 8.8% above 1H2O. Employee benefits expenses increased 8.4% and Commercial costs increased 9.6% to 7.5 million euros, mainly driven by the higher cost of goods sold, aligned with the higher level of sales. Other expenses increased 9.2%, mainly explained by the higher level of Outsourcing costs.
Total EBITDA increasing from 7.3 million euros to 25.9 million euros, mainly explained by the increase on equity results and non-recurrent itens, but also by Underlying EBITDA that presented relevant improvements, especially at Cybersecurity companies. In 1H21, the non-recurrent itens stood at 10.8 million euros, mainly driven by the capital gain generated with Arctic Wolf sale. The equity results, mostly driven by ZOPT contribution which, in turn, depends on NOS net income evolution, increased to 17.6 million euros.
Sonaecom's EBIT increased to 22.3 million euros, from 3.0 million euros in 1H20, explained by the higher level of EBITDA and the lower level of depreciations.
Sonaecom's earnings before tax (EBT) increased from 2.5 million to 22.5 million euros, driven by the higher EBIT and financial results.
Indirect results reached 19.0 million euros, that compare with negative 2.1 million euros in 1H2O, positively impacted by portfolio fair value adjustments, specially at Armilar Venture Funds, mainly related with Feedzai and Safetypay.
Net results group share stood at 39.9 million euros, above the 3.0 million euros presented in 1H20.
Sonaecom's operating CAPEX decreased to 1.9 million euros, reaching 5.4% of tumover, 2.0 p.p. below 1H20. Excluding the IFRS 16 impact, operating CAPEX would be 1.7 million euros, 0.6 million euros below 1H20.
The net cash position stood at 204.3 million euros, and excluding the decrease generated by the amount of liquidity already allocated to assets held for sale (Bizdirect), stood 2.4 million euros below the level of December million euros, 3.9 million below December 2020 (excluding the impact of cash allocated to assets held for sale), mainly driven by 31.5 million euros of positive net inflow from investment activity, the 29.7 million euros of dividends distribution and the negative operating cash-flow, financials and taxes of 3.9 million euros.
NOS operating revenues were 678.5 million euros in 1H21, increasing 1.8% y.o.y..
EBITDA reached 306.6 million euros, decreasing 1.3% when compared to 1H2O and representing a 45.2% EBITDA margin. CAPEX excluding leasings amounted to 200.1 million euros in 1H21, an increase of 16.5% y.o.y. As a consequence of EBITDA and CAPEX evolution, EBITDA- CAPEX decreased 23.3%.
