In addition to these encouraging results, we continued the execution of our different businesses’ strategies and management of our portfolio, namely through the creation of the Iberian Sports Retail Group, materialised in the beginning of February, which is a result of the combination of Sport Zone with Sprinter and JD’s Iberian operations and whose impact will start to be seen in our accounts from the next quarter onwards.

    EQUITY RESEARCH NOS Telecoms Tailwinds from competition Buy (YE15 Price Target upgraded from €5.30 to €6.30; Buy Medium Risk Recommendation) January 2015 4 Positive signs from competition: All the operators announced price increases in the range of 3-4% for 2015. But given the weight of Portugal customers under promotional prices, the impact is bound to be NOS vs. PSI20 vs. Eurostoxx Telco limited.

Perhaps, more important 120 than the direct impact this will have when renewing the promotions is Eurostoxx the sign VOD is giving the market. We remain conservative in our 110 Telco estimate for sector revenues (CAGR13-18F of -1.2%), but acknowledge upside risks. Apart from this, PT Portugal continues to 100 be strongly conditioned by PT/Oi events which is bound to benefit its competitors and NOS in particular. 90 NOS 4 Still the best positioned player in the sector: NOS continues to have 80 the largest NGN coverage in the country (3.2mn and plans to reach 3.6mn in YE15) and its large 3P customer base is the most powerful 70 argument to surf the wave of convergence.

This variation in Net Profit is mainly driven by Indirect Net Profits that were adversely affected by increases in market capitalization yields in Europe, namely in Iberia. The Company measures its performance, fundamentally, on the basis of changes in Net Asset Value (NAV) plus dividends distributed. The NAV is calculated on the basis of the guidelines published in 2007 by the INREV (European Association for Investors in Non-listed Real Estate Vehicles), an association of which the Company is a member. The NAV of Sonae Sierra, as of the 30th June 2009, was €1.248 billion and this corresponds to €38.38 per share. MAIN EVENTS The main events during the first seven months of 2009 were the following: January • Sonae Sierra takes over the management of two third-party centres in Spain and Germany. Located in the centre of the German city of Karlsruhe, "Post Galerie" has a Gross Lettable Area (GLA) of 26,000 m2, 58 shops, and covers a market of 1.3 million potential consumers. Inaugurated in 1999, the "Los Conquistadores", in Badajoz, has a GLA of 9,700 m2 and 24 shops, besides a children's play park, five restaurants, eight cinemas and one supermarket.
