All comparative periods were restated to include Bizdirect results as a discontinued operation in the profit and loss statement.

NOS was the first operator in Portugal launching 5G commercial services. The spectrum acquired was paid in 4Q21, with a total cash-out of 151 million euros but, even with this one-off cash-outflow, the company maintained a strong capital structure.

Regarding Technology area, 2021 was a year marked by a strong activity in portfolio:

  • Four new investments in Sellforte, a SaaS platform that measures the effectiveness of online and offline marketing $(i)$ investments; in Portainer.io, one of the most popular digital container management platforms globally; in Citcon, a US-based leading mobile wallet payment provider; and, during 4Q, in Safebreach, a company pioneer in breach and attack simulation;
  • A partial sale of Arctic Wolf stake for a gross amount of 36.4 million euros with a gross capital gain of 12.3 million euros; $(ii)$ $(iii)$ The sale, jointly with the remaining shareholders, of the entire share capital and voting rights of Bizdirect to Claranet Portugal,
  • S.A., with a gross capital gain of 5.4 million euros;
  • The exits in CB4 and Case on IT, the latter in 4Q, with a total gross capital gain of 5.4 million euros; and $(iv)$
  • $(v)$ Investment reinforcements in some portfolio companies.

Coupled with this evolution on portfolio structure, the year was also marked by relevant achievements in some portfolio companies, namely in Arctic Wolf, with a financing round of 150 million dollars, held by existing and new investors, at an underlying valuation of 4.3 billion dollars, and in some 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; 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; and (iii) Safetypay, that was expecting some regulatory approvals to be acquired by Paysafe with an implicit valuation of 441 million dollars, which took place already in 2022.
