GROUP STRUCTURE Grupo Media Capital is currently the leading media group in Portugal in terms of EBITDA and Net Income, with a strong presence in most of the segments in the media sector and in the production of audiovisual contents. Its operational structure reflects this broad business scope and is horizontal, organized into five different business units and a Shared Services Unit that centralizes all the administrative functions and serves the other Group companies in areas such as payroll, accounting, financial management, treasury, purchases and information systems, including the Group’s Holding and sub-holdings. The Group’s strategy is founded on basis of quality, independence and credibility, and on a commitment to develop information, culture and entertainment in Portugal, permanently guided by the interests and preferences of viewers, listeners, customers and advertisers. In terms of financial reporting, the structure adopted by Media Capital comprises three reporting segments: Television, Audiovisual Production and Radio. The remaining companies and business units– including Digital – are grouped in a separate reportable segment called Other. The purpose of this structure is to simplify the evaluation and visibility of the different business units where the company operates, taking into account the dimension and the existing relations and synergies between the companies of each business reportable segment. 4 ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT After a 2.9% growth in the first half of 2017, the latest major indicators of the Portuguese economy indicate a slight deceleration during the second half of the year, registering a 2.5% increase in the third quarter. This deceleration, mostly due to a slowdown in public investment and to the negative contribution of external demand, was partially offset by domestic demand (due to an acceleration of private consumption). In the fourth quarter, the economic climate index calculated by the National Statistics Office had a small deterioration against the previous quarter. In this context, Banco de Portugal expects a 2.6% increase in GDP indicator (vs 1.5% in 2016), mainly lead by public investment and net exports. In 2017, unemployment rate reached 8.9% (vs 11.1% in 2016) whilst the inflation rate increased 1pp to 1.6%. Advertising market performance Following the recovery that begun in the last third of 2013, the Portuguese agencies advertising market (before rebates discounts) registered a 3% increase in 2017 (10% in 2014, 3% in 2015 and 5% in 2016).
