(1) Following PTs strategic investment in Oi and Contax on 28 March 2011, PT proportionally consolidated the earnings of these businesses as from 1 April 2011. (2) Businesses in Portugal include wireline and TMN. This caption includes the impact of the decline in regulated mobile termination rates (MTRs). (3) Operating costs = wages and salaries + direct costs + commercial costs + other operating costs. (4) EBITDA = income from operations + post retirement benefits + depreciation and amortisation. (5) Income from operations = income before financials and income taxes + curtailment costs + losses (gains) on disposal of fixed assets + other costs (gains).
Consolidated operating revenues
In 1H12, consolidated operating revenues increased by Euro 676 million (+25.3% y.o.y) to Euro 3,345 million, as compared to Euro 2,669 million in 1H11. This increase is primarily related to the impact of the proportional
consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, as the earnings of these businesses were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, and is partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI in 1H11, as this business was fully consolidated up to 30 June 2011 and then integrated in Contax following the completion of the exchange of PTs interest in this business for an addition stake in Contax. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, amounting to Euro 802 million, and also the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 87 million), consolidated operating revenues would have decreased by only 1.5% y.o.y in 1H12. This decline was the result of revenue decline in Portuguese telecommunication businesses (Euro 84 million) and a lower contribution from Oi in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 3 million), notwithstanding revenue growth in international operations, namely Contax (Euro 12 million), MTC in Namibia (Euro 13 million), CVT in Cape Verde (Euro 4 million) and Timor Telecom (Euro 4 million).
In 1H12, revenues from Portuguese telecommunication businesses decreased by 5.8% y.o.y (Euro 84 million), primarily due to: (1) revenue decline in the Enterprise customer segment (Euro 46 million, -9.3% y.o.y), impacted by pricing and consumption pressure on both SME and large corporates, significant cut back on the public administration and postponement of investment decisions by large corporate, and (2) the decline in the Personal customer segment (Euro 35 million), as a result of lower customer revenues (Euro 25 million) reflecting challenging economic conditions and pricing pressure, lower interconnection revenues (Euro 8 million) following the regulated tariff declines, that declined to Euro 2.77 cents as from 7 May 2012 and to Euro 2.27 cents as from 30 June 2012, and equipment sales (Euro 3 million). The total direct impact of regulation in revenues amounted to Euro 14 million in 1H12, including declining MTRs and roaming prices. Excluding the impact of regulation, revenues in Portuguese telecommunication businesses would have declined by 4.8% y.o.y. These negative effects were partially offset by an increase in revenues from Residential customer segment, from Euro 339 million in 1H11 to Euro 355 million in 1H12 (+4.9% y.o.y), with 2Q12 (+5.1% y.o.y) confirming an acceleration trend when compared to previous quarters (1Q12 +4.6% y.o.y and 4Q11 +3.9% y.o.y). This solid growth was achieved on the back of the continued strong performance of Meo triple-play offer (voice, broadband and pay-TV) and benefiting from a relentless effort to transform PTs residential service offering from a legacy fixed telephone to a triple play offering, which is highly differentiated and more competitive and also more resilient to unfavourable economic conditions. In 1H12, non-voice revenues in Portugal represented 50.5% of service revenues, having grown 4.6pp y.o.y. The transformation of PTs portfolio of products and services offered to its customers and the associated changes in the revenue mix is making its performance more resilient and predictable. Other revenues in the Portuguese telecommunications businesses, including wholesale, decreased by 8.3% y.o.y (Euro 19 million), as a result of lower accesses and traffic revenues and revenue decline in public phones (Euro 1.4 million) and in the directories business (Euro 5 million). PT has a financial investment of 25% in the directories business, which is managed by Truvo.
In 1H12, Ois revenues stood at Euro 1,542 million (R$ 3,723 million) compared to Euro 832 million in 1H11. This increase reflects the effect of the proportional consolidation in 1Q12 (Euro 788 million), partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 75 million). Adjusting for these effects, the contribution of Oi to PTs consolidated operating revenues in 1H12 would have decreased only by Euro 3 million as compared to 1H11. This decline was explained by lower service revenues (Euro 34 million), which were partially offset by an increase in sales and other operating revenues (Euro 30 million). The decrease in service revenues is primarily explained by the impact of lower residential revenues, mainly due to lower fixed voice revenues, partially offset by an increase in personal mobility revenues, on the back of higher revenues from monthly fees, underpinned by postpaid customer growth, increased traffic revenues and higher data and value added services. Ois revenues were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, based on the 25.6% direct and indirect stake that PT owns in Telemar Participações, the controlling shareholder of the Oi Group.
Other revenues, including intra-group eliminations, increased by 12.8% y.o.y in 1H12 to Euro 444 million, including the impact of the proportional consolidation of Contax in 1Q12 (Euro 148 million), that was proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI business in 1H11 (Euro 134 million), that was fully consolidated up to 30 June 2011 and integrated in Contax as from 1 July 2011. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, other revenues would have increased by Euro 36 million, reflecting: (1) the increase at Contax in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11, explained by the contribution from Dedic/GPTI business in 2Q12 and partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro, and (2) the increases of 16.8% y.o.y and 12.9% y.o.y at MTC and CVT, respectively.
The contribution from fully and proportionally consolidated international assets to operating revenues stood at 58.6% in 1H12, while Brazil accounted for 53.6%.
Consolidated operating costs (excluding PRBs and depreciation and amortisation)
Consolidated operating costs excluding depreciation and amortisation costs and post retirement benefits increased by Euro 535 million (+32.0% y.o.y) to Euro 2,204 million in 1H12, as compared to Euro 1,669 million in 1H11. This increase is primarily related to the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, as the earnings of these businesses were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI in 1H11, as this business was fully consolidated up to 30 June 2011 and then integrated in Contax following the completion of the exchange of PTs interest in this business for an addition stake in Contax. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, totalling Euro 562 million, consolidated operating costs would have decreased by 1.8% y.o.y (Euro 27 million) to Euro 1,509 million in 1H12, primarily as a result of: (1) the 4.7% y.o.y decline in Portuguese telecommunication businesses (Euro 36 million), reflecting the cost cutting efforts and the decline in direct costs due to lower MTRs and lower costs associated with the directories business; and (2) a lower contribution from Oi in 2Q12 over the same period of last year (Euro 17 million), reflecting the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 53 million), which more than offset increases in third party costs, wages and salaries and commercial costs. These lower contributions from the Portuguese and Brazilian telecommunication businesses more than offset the increase in operating costs from Africatel businesses, namely Cabo Verde Telecom and MTC, in Namíbia.
Wages and salaries increased by Euro 107 million (+23.3% y.o.y) to Euro 566 million in 1H12, as compared to Euro 459 million in 1H11. This increase is primarily related to the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12 partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI in 1H11. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, totalling Euro 84 million, wages and salaries would have increased by 6.3% y.o.y (Euro 23 million) to Euro 378 million in 1H12, reflecting higher contributions from Oi and Contax (Euro 19 million) in 2Q12 over the same period of last year, as a result of increased staff levels and organisational reorganisation at Oi and the contribution of Dedic/GPTI to Contax in 2Q12, and despite the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 17 million). These effects more than offset the 4.0% y.o.y decline in Portuguese telecommunication businesses, due to lower variable and overtime remunerations, higher efficiency levels in certain internal processes and lower personnel costs as a result of the restructuring plan implemented in 4Q11. Wages and salaries accounted for 16.9% of consolidated operating revenues in 1H12.
Direct costs increased by Euro 143 million (+34.4% y.o.y) to Euro 560 million in 1H12, reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, amounting to Euro 177 million. Adjusting for this effect, direct costs would have decreased by 8.0% y.o.y (Euro 33 million) in 1H12 to Euro 384 million, primarily as a result
of: (1) a reduction in the Portuguese telecommunication businesses (Euro 12 million), as a result of lower traffic costs at TMN, following the impact of the regulatory MTR cuts and lower roaming interconnection costs, lower costs associated with the directories business and with the provision of LAN services to schools; and (2) a lower contribution from Oi in 2Q12 over the same period of last year (Euro 20 million), reflecting primarily the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 16 million) and also a reduction in interconnection costs due to lower MTRs. Direct costs accounted for 16.8% of consolidated operating revenues in 1H12.
Commercial costs, which include costs of products sold, commissions and marketing and publicity, increased by Euro 54 million (+25.6% y.o.y) in 1H12 to Euro 265 million, reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, amounting to Euro 39 million. Adjusting for this effect, commercial costs would have increased by 7.0% y.o.y (Euro 15 million) in 1H12 to Euro 226 million, mainly due to higher contributions from (1) Oi, reflecting higher costs of product sold and commissions, explained by a more intense commercial activity, namely higher sales, partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 6 million), and (2) Africatel businesses, reflecting customer growth across all business. Commercial costs accounted for 7.9% of consolidated operating revenues in 1H12.
Other operating costs, which mainly include support services, supplies and external services, indirect taxes and provisions, increased by Euro 230 million in 1H12 to Euro 812 million, as compared to Euro 582 million in 1H11, reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI in 1H11. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, totalling Euro 261 million, other operating costs would have decreased by 5.6% y.o.y (Euro 31 million) in 1H12 to Euro 521 million, basically due to: (1) a lower contribution from the Portuguese telecommunication businesses (Euro 18 million), reflecting primarily lower maintenance and repair expenses, support services and other third party services, which benefited from the roll out of PTs FTTH network and the extensive field force transformation programme, and (2) a lower contribution from Oi in 2Q12 over the same period of last year (Euro 10 million), reflecting primarily the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 26 million), partially offset by higher maintenance and repair expenses, third party costs and indirect taxes.
EBITDA
In 1H12, EBITDA increased by Euro 141 million (+14.1% y.o.y) to Euro 1,141 million, as compared to Euro 1,000 million in 1H11. This increase is mainly explained by the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, as the earnings of these businesses were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI in 1H11, as this business was fully consolidated up to 30 June 2011 and then integrated in Contax following the completion of the exchange of PTs interest in this business for an addition stake in Contax. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, amounting to Euro 240 million, and also the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 23 million), EBITDA would have decreased by 7.6% y.o.y in 1H12. EBITDA performance in the period was impacted by: (1) a lower contribution from Portuguese telecommunications businesses (Euro 48 million) as a result of revenue decline (Euro 84 million) and, notwithstanding a 4.7% y.o.y reduction in operating costs excluding D&A and PRBs, the improvement in gross margin from the residential segment in 1H12 and a continued focus on cost cutting, and (2) a lower contribution from Oi in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 39 million), reflecting mainly lower service revenues and higher third party services and wages and salaries, partially offset by an increase in other operating revenues. These effects were partially offset by a higher contribution from other international operations.

(1) EBITDA = income from operations + post retirement benefits + depreciation and amortisation.
EBITDA from Portuguese telecommunication businesses amounted to Euro 615 million in 1H12 (-7.2% y.o.y), equivalent to a 45.3% margin, as a result of the decline in service revenues (Euro 84 million), which have high operating leverage. As a result, service revenues minus direct costs declined by Euro 72 million, while EBITDA only declined by Euro 48 million, as a result of a resilient focus on cost cutting and profitability of operations. Operating costs decreased by 4.7% y.o.y on the back of: (1) pay-TV having reached critical mass, which leads to lower programming costs per customer (-19% y.o.y in 1H12); (2) fibre rollout, which has a superior quality of service leading to lower customer support and network maintenance costs; (3) simplification of commercial offers and business processes, namely for the Personal customer segment, and (4) additional measures undertaken in anticipation of weaker macro fundamentals, reflecting PTs strong cost focus.
In 1H12, Ois EBITDA reached Euro 450 million (R$ 1,087 million) compared to a contribution of Euro 285 million to consolidated EBITDA in 1H11. This increase reflects primarily the effect of the proportional consolidation in 1Q12 (Euro 227 million), partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 22 million). Adjusting for these effects, the contribution of Oi to PTs consolidated EBITDA in 1H12 would have declined by Euro 39 million compared to 1H11, reflecting the decrease in service revenues and higher third party services costs and wages and salaries and notwithstanding an increase in other operating revenues. Ois EBITDA was proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, based on the 25.6% direct and indirect stake that PT owns in Telemar Participações, the controlling shareholder of the Oi Group.
Other EBITDA increased by 44.6% y.o.y to Euro 76 million in 1H12 mainly due to: (1) the impact of the proportional consolidation of Contax in 1Q12 (Euro 14 million), and (2) the 23.3% and 4.3% y.o.y growth in Timor Telecom and MTC, respectively.
Fully and proportionally consolidated international assets represented 49.1% of PTs EBITDA in 1H12. Brazilian businesses accounted for 41.8% of EBITDA in the period and fully consolidated African businesses accounted for 5.9%.
Net income
Post retirement benefits costs increased to Euro 29 million in 1H12 from Euro 26 million in 1H11, reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi in 1Q12 (Euro 1.5 million), as this business was proportionally consolidated only as from 1 April 2011.
Depreciation and amortisation costs increased by 17.9% y.o.y to Euro 683 million in 1H12, an increase of Euro 104 million, reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12 (Euro 161 million). Adjusting for this effect and the contribution of Dedic / GPTI in 1H11, depreciation and amortisation costs would have decreased by 8.5% in 1H12, explained by lower contributions from: (1) the Portuguese
telecommunication businesses (Euro 16 million), and (2) Oi (Euro 39 million), including the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 14 million).
Net other costs (gains) registered a gain of Euro 17 million in 1H12, including primarily the net compensation for prior years costs supported by PT with the universal service obligation under the Concession Agreement, partially offset by non-recurring provisions and adjustments for certain assets.
Net interest expenses increased to Euro 236 million in 1H12 as compared to Euro 81 million in 1H11, reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and the Brazilian holding companies in 1Q12 (Euro 67 million), which were proporcionally consolidated only as from 1 April 2011. Adjusting for this effect, net interest expenses would have amounted to Euro 170 million in 1H12, an increase of Euro 88 million compared to 1H11, reflecting: (1) an Euro 51 million interest gain in 1Q11 on the cash deposits in Brazilian Reais that were used to pay the strategic investments in Oi and Contax on 28 March 2011, and (2) a higher contribution related to the proportional consolidation of Oi in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 27 million), reflecting the impact of the increase in its average net debt. Ois net debt increase is mainly explained by the dividend payment in May 2012 and the amounts paid to non-controlling shareholders in April 2012 in connection with the completion of its corporate simplification. The average cost of net debt from Portuguese operations stood at 3.9% in 1H12, compared to 3.5% in 1H11.
Equity in earnings of affiliates amounted to Euro 96 million in 1H12, as compared to Euro 122 million in 1H11. In 1H11, this caption includes a gain of Euro 38 million related to the disposal of the investment in UOL for a total consideration of Euro 156 million. Adjusting for this effect, equity accounting in earnings of affiliated companies would have increased from Euro 85 million in 1H11 to Euro 96 million in 1H12, reflecting primarily the improvement in earnings of Unitel and CTM.
Net other financial losses, which include net foreign currency gains, net losses on financial assets and net other financial expenses, decreased from Euro 69 million in 1H11 to Euro 47 million in 1H12, reflecting primarily lower net foreign currency exchange losses in 1H12, mainly due to the impact of a significant depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro in 1H11 on net assets denominated in US Dollars. Additionally, the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders in 1Q12 (Euro 15 million) was offset by the financial taxes incurred in Brazil during 1Q11 in connection with the transfer of funds for the investment in Oi (Euro 14 million).
Income taxes decreased to Euro 89 million in 1H12, from Euro 96 million in 1H11, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 34.7% and 27.2%, respectively. This reduction primarily reflects the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, amounting to an income tax gain of Euro 13 million, and lower earnings from Portuguese operations.
Income attributable to non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 42 million in 1H12, including the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax (Euro 3 million) in 1Q12. Adjusting for this effect, income attributable to non-controlling interests would have decreased to Euro 39 million in 1H12, compared to Euro 45 million in 1H11, reflecting a lower income attributable to non-controlling interests of Oi in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 7 million), as a result of the completion of its corporate simplification in March 2012.
Net income amounted to Euro 125 million in 1H12 compared to Euro 212 million in 1H11. This decrease is mainly explained by: (1) the gain of Euro 38 million recorded in 1Q11 related to the completion of the disposal of the
investment in UOL, and (2) an increase in interest expenses primarily related to the increase in average net debt in Oi and to Euro 51 million interest gain recorded in 1Q11 on the cash deposits in Brazilian Reais that were used to pay the strategic investments in Oi and Contax on 28 March 2011.
Capex
Capex amounted to Euro 522 million in 1S12, equivalent to 15.6% of revenues and to an increase of Euro 104 million as compared to Euro 418 million in 1H11. This increase is primarily related to the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12, partially offset by the contribution of Dedic / GPTI in 1H11, as this business was fully consolidated up to 30 June 2011 and then integrated in Contax. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, amounting to Euro 117 million, capex would have decreased by 3.1% y.o.y to Euro 396 million in 1H12, as a result of a lower capex from Portuguese telecommunication businesses (Euro 13 million), which stood at Euro 238 million in 1H12, and a lower contribution from Oi in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 20 million), mainly reflecting the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro. These effects were partially offset by an increase in capex from certain international operations, namely MTC (Euro 14 million), reflecting investments in an African submarine cable and 4G network, and CVT (Euro 6 million).

(1) Ois capex excludes the acquisition of 4G licenses in 2Q12 for a total amount of R$ 400 million, equivalent to Euro 42 million proportionally consolidated by PT.
Capex from Portuguese telecommunication businesses decreased by 5.0% y.o.y to Euro 238 million in 1H12 and continued to be directed towards investments in future proof technologies, namely FTTH and 4G/LTE. Capex performance reflected the strong investments made during the last years, namely in 1H11, in the deployment of the FTTH network and the reinforcement of 3G and 3.5G networks in terms of coverage and capacity, leading now to a decrease in technology capex, notwithstanding the investments in the deployment of the 4G network. PT has been strengthening its mobile data capabilities and its network quality by leveraging the existing FTTH deployment to boost its mobile network quality and lead the 4G roll-out in the Portuguese market. As from April 2012, PT has a 4G coverage of 80% and aims to increase it to 90% by the end of 2012. Capex from residential segment still increased due to an increase in customer-related capex as a result of strong customer growth in the last quarters.
In 1H12, Ois capex reached Euro 218 million (R$525 million) compared to Euro 117 million in 1H11. This increase reflects primarily the effect of the proportional consolidation of Oi in 1Q12 (Euro 121 million), partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro in 2Q12 compared to 2Q11 (Euro 12 million). Adjusting for these effects, the contribution of Oi to PTs consolidated capex in 1H12 would have stayed broadly flat compared to 1H11, notwithstanding the investment in expanding broadband and 3G coverage in 1H12.
In 1H12, other capex increased to Euro 66 million compared to Euro 50 million in 1H11. This performance is primarily explained by the impact of the proportional consolidation of Contax in 1Q12 (Euro 5 million) and by a higher capex at MTC (Euro 14 million), reflecting the investments in the African submarine cable and in 4G
deployment, and at CVT (Euro 6 million). These effects were partially offset by the capex from Dedic/GPTI business in 1H11 (Euro 9 million), which was fully consolidated up to 30 June 2011 and then integrated in Contax.
Cash Flow
Operating cash flow decreased to Euro 287 million in 1H12 as compared to Euro 525 million in 1H11. Excluding the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in 1Q12 (Euro 34 million), consolidated operating cash flow would have amounted to Euro 253 million in 1H12, a decrease of Euro 272 million mainly explained by lower a EBITDA minus Capex (Euro 78 million) and by a noteworthy increase in working capital investment (Euro 182 million), reflecting the one-off reduction in the payment cycle to certain suppliers undertaken in 4Q10 and a higher capex in 2Q11 compared to 2Q12, leading to a lower investment in working capital in 2011. The investment in working capital is usually higher in the first half of the year, and therefore cash flow is lower, as a result of capex payments related to capex realised in the last quarter of the year and the annual payments in March and April related to the maintenance FISTEL fees and the instalments of licenses and concessions, respectively, payable by Oi to Anatel.

(1) Free cash flow excludes the cash out-flow related to the investments in Oi and Contax (Euro 3,728 million in 1Q11). (2) The increase in this caption is primarily explained by the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi in 1Q12. (3) This caption includes the disposal of the investment in UOL in 1Q11 for a total amount of Euro 155.5 million, partially offset by the acquisition of an investment in Allus in 2Q11 for a total amount of Euro 44 million. (4) The increase in this caption reflects mainly the payments of certain legal actions at Oi and Contax in 1Q12, partially offset by financial taxes incurred in 1Q11 related to the strategic investment in Oi.
Free cash flow amounted to negative Euro 359 million in 1H12 compared to Euro 317 million in 1H11 adjusted for the cash out-flow related to the acquisition of PTs investment in Oi and Contax (Euro 3,728 million). This reduction is primarily explained by: (1) a lower operating cash flow (Euro 238 million) as referred to above; (2) the proceeds received in 1H11 from the disposal of the investment in UOL amounting to Euro 156 million; (3) dividends received from Unitel in 1H11 (Euro 126 million) relating to 2009 earnings; (4) an increase in payments regarding legal actions (Euro 75 million), primarily related to the proportional consolidation of Oi, and (5) an increase of Euro 127 million in interest payments, reflecting a higher contribution from Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders (Euro 23 million), including the impact of its proportional consolidation in 1Q12 (Euro 10 million), and an increase at Portuguese businesses mainly related to the interest gain recorded in 1Q11 on the cash deposits in Brazilian Reais used to pay the strategic investments in Oi and Contax. These effects were partially offset by the acquisition of an investment in Allus by Contax in April 2011 (Euro 44 million).
Consolidated Net Debt
Consolidated net debt excluding the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders and the tax effect on the payments to the Portuguese State in connection with the pensions transaction, amounted to Euro 4,700 million as at 30 June 2012. Total consolidated net debt amounted to Euro 7,872 million as at 30 June 2012, as compared to Euro 6,613 million at the end of December 2011, an increase of Euro 1,259 million, reflecting: (1) dividends paid by PT to its shareholders (net of PTs 20.64 million own shares and of PTs stake in the shares held by Oi in PT), in relation to the 2011 fiscal year dividend of 65 cents per share, and by its subsidiaries to non-controlling interests; (2) the negative free cash flow generated in the period; (3) the amounts paid by Oi to non-controlling shareholders in connection with the completion of its corporate simplification process; (4) the payment by TMN regarding the LTE license in January 2012, and (5) the acquisition by Oi of PTs own shares. These effects were partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro.

(1) In 1H12, this caption includes the payment related to LTE license. (2) Tax effect on pension debt due to the Portuguese State including Euro 113 million related to the 2011 contribution, which was accounted for as tax losses carried forward.
As at 30 June 2012, total consolidated gross debt amounted to Euro 10,790 million, of which 76.4% was medium and long-term and Euro 3,787 million relates to the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders. Excluding Brazil, gross debt amounted to Euro 7,003 million, of which 69.2% was medium and long-term and 77.3% was set at fixed rates.
Excluding the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax, the amount of cash plus the Euro 400 million bonds issued on July 2012 and the undrawn amount of PTs committed commercial paper lines and facilities totalled Euro 3,016 million at the end of June 2012, of which Euro 540 million was undrawn committed commercial paper lines and facilities. In 1H12, PT launched a Public Bond Subscription Offering in the Portuguese market for the general public, denominated PT Fixed Rate Bonds 2012/2016. The bonds have four-year term and receive a fixed interest rate of 6.25% (Gross Nominal Annual Rate) per year, to be paid semiannually. The initial offer size was Euro 250 million and was increased to Euro 400 million during the offering period. The settlement occurred on 26 July 2012. By the end of June 2012, PT has also renegotiated its largest credit facility having extended its maturity from March 2014 to July 2016. This credit facility now amounts to Euro 800 million. These transactions are part of PTs financial
strategy to extend debt maturities and to have diversified sources of financing to continue to reduce financial risks. PT is fully financed up to June 2016, thus enjoying a very solid funding position.
In 1H12, excluding the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax, PTs average cost of net debt stood at 3.9%, compared to 3.5% in 1H11, adjusted for the Euro 51 million interest gain on cash deposits related to the strategic investment in Oi. Cost of gross debt stood at 4.3% in 1H12, remaining stable when compared to 1H11 and 2011. As at 30 June 2012, the maturity of PTs net debt, including Oi and Contax, was 5.3 years.
Post Retirement Benefits Obligations
As at 30 June 2012, the projected post retirement benefits obligations (PBO) from Portuguese businesses related to pensions and healthcare amounted to Euro 473 million and the market value of assets under management amounted to Euro 357 million, compared to Euro 474 million and Euro 345 million as at 31 December 2011, respectively. In addition, PT had liabilities in the form of salaries due to suspended and pre-retired employees amounting to Euro 760 million as at 30 June 2012, which are not subject to any legal funding requirement. These monthly salaries are paid directly by PT to the beneficiaries until retirement age. As a result, total gross unfunded obligations from Portuguese businesses amounted to Euro 876 million and after-tax unfunded obligations amounted to Euro 657 million. PTs post retirement benefits plans for pensions and healthcare in Portugal are closed to new participants. In addition, PT proportionally consolidates Ois net post retirement benefit obligations, which amounted to Euro 51 million as at 30 June 2012 and Euro 62 million as at 31 December 2011.

(1) The increase in the market value of funds resulted mainly from the positive performance of assets under management amounting to Euro 29.2 million (equivalent to positive 8.5% in 1H12), that more than offset the payments of supplements of Euro 4.1 million and the refund of healthcare expenses (Euro 14.4 million).
Total gross unfunded obligations from Portuguese businesses decreased by Euro 36 million in 1H12 to Euro 876 million as at 30 June 2012, primarily as a result of salary payments to suspended and pre-retired employees, that amounted to Euro 71 million, partially offset by the recognition of post retirement benefit costs and net actuarial losses amounting to Euro 15 million and Euro 16 million, respectively. Unfunded obligations from Oi decreased from Euro 62 million as at 31 December 2011 to Euro 51 million as at 30 June 2012, reflecting primarily a contribution of Euro 10 million made in January 2012 to cover the deficit position of the BrTPREV pension plan.

(1) In 1H12 and 1H11, this caption excludes the service cost related to active employees transferred to the Portuguese State amounting to Euro 11.4 million and Euro 10.4 million, respectively. (2) In 1H12, this caption includes primarily contributions to pension funds made by Oi (Euro 10.4 million) and refunds net of healthcare expenses paid regarding healthcare plans from Portuguese operations (Euro 5.0 million). In 1H11, this caption includes refunds net of healthcare expenses amounting to Euro 2.5 million.
Post retirement benefits costs increased to Euro 29 million in 1H12 from Euro 26 million in 1H11, reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi in 1Q12 (Euro 1 million), as this business was proportionally consolidated only as from 1 April 2011, and an increase in the cost related to the annual service of active and suspended employees that were entitled to pension benefits under PTs pension plans that were transfered to the Portuguese State in December 2010 (Euro 1 million). Net actuarial losses amounted to Euro 16 million in 1H12 and Euro 1 million in 1H11 and relate to Portuguese businesses. In 1H12, net actuarial losses include: (1) a loss of Euro 35 million related to the estimated impact of the adoption of Dec-Law 85-A/2012, which suspended the early retirement regime during the financial assistance programme to Portugal, resulting in higher payments to pre-retired and suspended employees up to retirement age, and (2) a gain of Euro 19 million corresponding to the difference between actual (+8.5%) and estimated (+3.0%) return on plan assets. Net actuarial losses recorded in 1H11 include: (1) a gain of Euro 36 million corresponding to the impact of the revision of the discount rate actuarial assumption, which was increased from 4.75% to 5.50% for healthcare benefits and from 4.75% to 5.00% for pension complements, and (2) a loss of Euro 37 million corresponding to the difference between actual (-5.5%) and estimated (+3.0%) return on plan assets.

(1) This caption includes primarily a gain recorded directly in shareholders equity as a result of the corporate simplification of the Oi Group.
As at 30 June 2012, shareholders equity excluding non-controlling interests amounted to Euro 2,405 million, a decrease of Euro 423 million in 1H12. This decrease is primarily explained by: (1) the 43.5 cents dividend per share paid in May 2012 (Euro 372 million), corresponding to the second instalment of the 2011 fiscal year dividend (65 cents per share), following the interim dividend payment of 21.5 cents per share paid in January 2012; (2) negative
foreign currency translation adjustments (Euro 206 million), mainly related to the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro; and (3) net actuarial losses recognised in the period (Euro 12 million, net of tax effect). These effects were partially offset by the net income generated in the period of Euro 125 million and a gain recorded directly in shareholders equity in connection with Ois corporate simplification.
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
Total assets decreased from Euro 23.2 billion as at 31 December 2011 to Euro 19.9 billion as at 30 June 2012, primarily reflecting: (1) the repayment of the Euro 1.3 billion Eurobond issued in March 2005; (2) the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 0.7 billion); (3) the dividends paid by PT to its shareholders (Euro 0.6 billion), corresponding to the 2011 fiscal year dividend of 65 cents per share, and (4) the amounts paid by Oi to non-controlling shareholders in connection with the completion of its corporate simplification process (Euro 0.3 billion). Total liabilities decreased from Euro 19.4 billion to Euro 17.0 billion, reflecting primarily the repayment of the March 2005 Eurobond (Euro 1.3 billion) and the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 0.5 billion).

Growth of fixed retail customers was underpinned by a solid performance of Meo, PTs pay-TV service, anchored on the back of a very differentiated value proposition, which leverages on an innovative non-linear pay-TV service offering a seamless multiscreen experience with live TV channels, video on demand, games and music on demand available on multiple devices.
In 1H12, pay-TV customers were up by 25.8% y.o.y to 1,157 thousand, a resilient performance representing net additions of 115 thousand in 1H12 (+28.2% y.o.y). This continued steady customer growth clearly confirmes the continued success and the attractiveness of Meo in the Portuguese market. This strong performance of pay-TV underpinned a solid growth of fixed broadband customers, which were up by 12.3% yo.y to 1,169 thousand (63 thousand net adds in 1H12). PTs triple-play customers (voice, broadband and pay-TV) grew by 31% y.o.y, having reached 766 thousand in 1H12 (+86 thousand net adds), having extended PTs and Meo leadership in the triple-play market.
Mobile customers benefited from the performance of postpaid customers, which grew by 6.0% y.o.y (79 thousand net adds in 1H12) benefiting from the growth of the unlimited tariff plan. The e nunca mais acaba tariff plan,
which reached 954 thousand customers in 1H12, as well as the wireless broadband customers, also continued to show solid growth trends.
Residential
Residential retail accesses or retail revenue generating units (RGUs) increased by 9.9% y.o.y, reaching 3,714 thousand, with pay-TV and broadband accesses already accounting for 55% of total residential retail accesses as at 30 June 2012. In 1H12, retail net additions reached 157 thousand, as a result of the growth of the pay-TV service, which accounted for 104 thousand net additions, bringing the total pay-TV residential customers to 1,076 thousand (up by 25.5% y.o.y). Fixed broadband net additions in the quarter stood at 55 thousand, with the residential broadband customer base growing by 13.7% y.o.y to 966 thousand. Residential PSTN/ISDN lines stood at 1,672 thousand lines, remained broadly flat in 1H12, reflecting the positive impact of the triple-play offers and notwithstanding aggressive commercial offers by the main competitor. In 1H12, PTs residential segment continued to show growth in unique customers, which reached 1,863 thousand (+0.6% y.o.y). Residential revenue generating units per unique customer stood at 2.0, up by 9.3% y.o.y reflecting the continued success of Meos triple-play offer. As a result of this success, residential ARPU was up by 3.2% y.o.y to Euro 31.6 in 1H12. This performance is even more noteworthy as it was achieved against a backdrop of: (1) a challenging economic environment, which leads to some pressure on those services that are more exposed to the economic environment, such as premium and thematic channels, video on demand and other value added services, and (2) aggressive commercial stance by certain competitors on voice promotions and low-end offers.

The solid growth of residential customers is clearly supported by the success of Meo, PTs innovative pay-TV service that has already moved towards a seamless multiscreen experience, with live TV channels, games, music and video-on-demand on all screens. Meo delivers a highly differentiated content proposition, with more than 150 TV channels, including exclusive content, HD and 3D channels, thousands of VoD titles and interactivity over anchor programmes (e.g. Ídolos, Secret Story, Biggest Looser). Meo also offers a marketplace of advanced interactive applications, available through the blue button on the Meo remote control and, covering multiple categories such as: (1) News, including a personalised newscast app, developed in partnership with RTP; and the Sapo Kiosk application featuring the daily covers of all local and several international newspapers and magazines; (2) Sports, including a football app, a surf app, and specific sports channel applications such as the BenficaTV app and the SportTV app; (3) Music, including MusicBox, a multiscreen music streaming service; Meo Radios, a radio streaming service and Meo Karaoke, an application that offers Meo customers to possibility subscribe and sing to a wide
catalogue of local and international hits; (4) Kids, including an all encompassing childrens portal where kids can access channels, VoD content, music clips, karaoke, games and tailored educational content; (5) Convenience, including apps for weather, traffic, pharmacies, and several others, and (6) Personal content, including the online photo storage app.
Meo continued to innovate by launching Sapo Voucher app, the first interactive TV app allowing financial transactions and TV advertisement interaction. Meo also launched Twitter on TV, which can be accessed through the blue button on the Meo Remote Control, allowing Meo customers to tweet while watching TV shows.
Under a clear and strong strategy for content differentiation through interactivity, that Meo has been pursuing, it launched a new interactive application over one of the most successful youth TV series in Portugal, Morangos com Açucar, developed in partnership with TVI, a free-to-air channel. This application, besides giving access to much exclusive and backstage content, it also gives fans the possibility to preview episodes for Euro 0.90. In July 2012, Meo also announced the transformation of the most watched local payTV channel SIC Notícias. As a result of a profound content and technological partnership between PT and Impresa (a large media group in Portugal, owning several print publications and the SIC free-to-air channel as well as several SIC pay-TV channels), Meo will be launching a transformed SIC Notícias in 4Q12 whereby the channel will re-emerge as a completely interactive channel an exclusive experience for Meo customers. These apps will be made availble on multiple screens, including the TV, PC, tablet and smartphone.
Meo also announced three new exclusive channels to be added to its grid: (1) Correio da Manhã TV, in partnership with Cofina, the owner of several newspapers and magazines in Portugal, including the most widely read newspaper in Portugal, Correio da Manhã; (2) A Bola TV, a comprehensive and diverse sports information channel with interactive and multiscreen content, which leverages the brand of a well known and leading sports newspaper, and (3) TVI Ficção, an entertainment channel produced by TVI, the free-to-air channel, featuring local fiction from the well established TVI production house.
Operating revenues in the Residential customer segment reached Euro 355 million in 1H12, up by 4.9% y.o.y, confirming an accelerated quarterly trend (+5.1% y.o.y in 2Q12, +4.6% y.o.y in1Q12 and +3.9% y.o.y in 4Q11). This solid growth was achieved on the back of the continued strong performance of Meo triple-play offer (voice, broadband and pay-TV) and benefiting from a relentless effort to transform PTs residential service offering from a legacy fixed telephone to a triple play offering, which is highly differentiated and more competitive and also more resilient to unfavorable economic conditions. As a result of this success, the weight of non-voice services in Residential stood at 62.9% in 1H12 (+5.4pp y.o.y) and the weight of flat revenues stood at 86.7% (+1.9pp y.o.y).
Personal
Mobile Personal customers, including voice and broadband customers, declined by 1.1% y.o.y in 1H12 (135 thousand net disconnections in the period) with the increase in postpaid customers (+3.1% y.o.y) not compensating the decline in prepaid customers (-2.0% y.o.y). TMN continued to show a solid performance in postpaid customers, leveraging on the commercial success of the Unlimited tariff plans and on the continued growth of mobile broadband customers. The performance of the e nunca mais acaba tariff plans continued to benefit prepaid customers performance. The flat-fee tariff plans already represented 21.4% of mobile Personal customer base by the end of June 2012, an increase of 4.1pp y.o.y.

PTs strategy for the Personal customer segment is anchored on mobile data offers based on high quality network offering best in class coverage and high capacity to meet customer demand for increasingly higher bandwidth and provide the best quality of service in the market. TMNs commercial offers include: (1) voice and data tariff plans designed to integrate seamlessly unlimited voice and data plans targeted at the high value postpaid segments and, in the prepaid segment, to prevent migration to the low value tariff plans by offering additional voice and data services; (2) distinctive smartphone offering leveraging on a comprehensive portfolio of circa 30 smartphones, including exclusive handsets, and on innovative value added and convergent services to use on-the-go (mobile TV, music on demand, social network aggregator), and (3) mobile broadband competitive offers of up to 100Mbps speed, on 4G, and offering free access to PTs leading national Wi-Fi network.
On March 2012, PT unveiled its 4G strategy, by launching a mobile broadband offer that structurally changes the market as it: (1) allows speeds of up to 100Mbps; (2) includes access to live TV channels, through Meo Go, and to music streaming service, through MusicBox, and (3) allows to share the traffic among various devices, including the PC, through a wireless dongle, the tablet and the smartphone. As at launch, PTs 4G service was available to 20% of the Portuguese population and this coverage was enlarged to 80% of the population by April 2012, when the 800MHz spectrum was made available. This coverage will be increased further to 90% of the population by the end of 2012. PT is marketing its 4G mobile broadband services through the TMN 4G and Meo 4G brands, aiming at leveraging on the various attributes and strengths of each brand. The commercial offers have speeds from 50Mbps to 100Mbps and monthly retail prices that start at Euro 49.99, with a 50% discount for early adopters during a 24-month period, and include the MusicBox service for free. TMN 4G or Meo 4G customers that are also Meo customers have free access to 50 live TV channels through the Meo Go service. Otherwise the Meo Go service has a retail price of Euro 7.99 per month.
In 1H12, customer revenue in the Personal segment declined by 8.0% y.o.y to Euro 281 million, showing a broadly stable quarterly performance (2Q12: -8.0% y.o.y; 1Q12: -8.1% y.o.y; 4Q11: -7.7% y.o.y; 3Q11: -6.8% y.o.y and 2Q11: -8.9% y.o.y). This performance was impacted by challenging economic conditions, which are being translated to lower consumer confidence and continuous pricing aggressiveness both in voice and wireless broadband. Customer revenues also reflected lower revenues derived from mobile broadband services against a backdrop of high popularity of fixed broadband and price competition, and notwithstanding the growth of internetnotelemóvel revenues, particularly in prepaid services. Service revenues in the Personal customer segment declined by 9.6% in 1H12, as a result of the decline in interconnection revenues (-23.6% y.o.y to Euro 27 million in 1H12), which reflect the regulated declines in MTRs, that declined to Euro 2.77 cents as from 7 May 2012
and to Euro 2.27 cents as from 30 June 2012. ARPU of the personal segment stood at Euro 8.7 (-8.9% y.o.y). The weight of non-voice revenues in service revenues stood at 32.9% in 1H12 (+1.8pp y.o.y), reflecting the solid performance of data packages internetnotelemovel, which continued to show strong growth, on the back of the commercial success of the unlimited and e nunca mais acaba tariff plans and leveraging on the increased penetration of smartphones. This growth of internetnotelemovel is partially offsetting the pressure on mobile broadband revenues. In the last quarters, personal revenue trends have improved sequentially (-9.0% y.o.y in 2Q12, -9.8% y.o.y in 1Q12, -10.7% y.o.y in 4Q11 and -10.8% y.o.y in 3Q11).
Enterprise
The Enterprise customer segment includes mobile and fixed, voice and data and IT convergent and integrated offers provided to large corporates and to small and medium size businesses. In this customer segment, PT aims at growing its revenue base beyond connectivity by seizing the ICT opportunity on the back of cutting-edge solutions for companies and future-proof data centre investments to meet demand for high bandwidth services and virtualisation.
The value proposition for corporate customers is anchored on the following pillars: (1) maximise value from traditional telecommunication services by up selling additional services, including fixed-mobile convergence on FTTH to push for VPN, LAN management and video services; (2) IT transformation accelerated by cloud computing, where PT aims at leveraging on partnerships with key suppliers to enable business process transformation and significant cost reductions to the enterprise customers; (3) leverage on specialisation to seize gains from scale, including focus on outsourcing and BPO to improve productivity, and (4) introduce a business consulting approach in order to extend the services provided to corporations to video, multiscreen and highly differentiated convergent services.
In the SME customer segment, PT aims at integrating its service offerings, including bundling fixed and mobile and voice and data offers with access to subsidised equipment (PCs, PBX, smartphones and tablets), while at the same time making available vertical solutions to specific sectors (ex: restaurants and coffee-shops, retail, healthcare). In the SME segment, the main strategic priority during 2011 was to increase the commercial proactivity focusing on the growth of core products.
During 1H12, PT also continued to invest significantly on its cloud computing offering both for corporates and SMEs, making now available structured offers, branded SmartcloudPT, that include infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS).

Operating revenues of the Enterprise customer segment declined by 9.3% y.o.y to Euro 452 million in 1H12, showing a quarterly sequential improvement (-8.8% y.o.y in 2Q12 and -9.8% y.o.y in 1Q12), penalised by the economic environment as: (1) large corporate and public administration are focusing on cost reductions, which translate to price and consumption pressure, and are also avoiding significant investments in new projects, and (2) small and medium businesses, which were still showing some resilience in 2011, are now more penalised by the economic and financing context. Notwithstanding the economic backdrop, PT maintained a solid leadership both in large corporates and in small and medium size businesses, anchored on its distinctive products and services to both market segments as referred to above. In 1H12, non-voice services represented 48.0% of Enterprise retail revenues, up by 2.0pp y.o.y.
Consolidated financial performance in Portugal
In 1H12, revenues from Portuguese telecommunication businesses declined by 5.8% y.o.y to Euro 1,358 million. This performance reflected the revenue decline at the Enterprise and Personal customer segments (Euro 46 million and Euro 35 million, respectively), against challenging economic conditions, and lower revenues from the directories business (Euro 5 million), that more than compensated the 4.9% y.o.y increase in the Residential customer segment (Euro 16 million). In 1H12, revenues in Portugal were also penalised by adverse regulation movements, including lower MTRs and roaming. Excluding regulation effects, revenues would have decreased by 4.8% y.o.y in 1H12.
Against revenue pressure in the Portuguese telecommunication businesses, the measures implemented to control costs and the transformation initiatives that are taking place are allowing PT to reduce costs and maintain margins above 45%.

(1) EBITDA = income from operations + post retirement benefits + depreciation and amortisation. (2) Income from operations = Income before financials and income taxes + curtailment costs + losses (gains) on disposal of fixed assets + net other costs.
In 1H12, operating costs excluding D&A declined by 4.7% y.o.y (Euro 36 million) to Euro 743 million. Wages and salaries declined by 4.0% y.o.y (Euro 5 million) to Euro 121 million, as a result of the focus on cost cutting, including: (1) lower variable and overtime remunerations; (2) higher efficiency levels in certain internal processes, and (3) lower personnel costs as a result of the restructuring plan implemented in 4Q11. Direct costs were down 5.1% y.o.y in 1H12 (Euro 12 million) to Euro 226 million, reflecting mainly: (1) lower traffic costs at TMN, following the impact of the regulatory MTR cuts and lower roaming interconnection costs, and (2) lower costs associated with the directories business. In 1H12, notwithstanding continued customer growth, programming costs increased only by 2.2% y.o.y to Euro 61 million, while programming costs per customer declined by 19% y.o.y. Commercial costs decreased by 0.8% y.o.y in 1H12 to Euro 142 million, reflecting lower costs of products sold and marketing and publicity. Other operating expenses decreased by 6.6% y.o.y in 1H12 to Euro 254 million, explained by lower maintenance and repairs, following the rollout of PTs FTTH network, and lower support services. Structural costs benefits of the FTTH network and the extensive field force transformation programme are now visible with improved quality of service and lower cost structure.
In 1H12, EBITDA in Portugal stood at Euro 615 million (-7.2% y.o.y) with a margin of 45.3% (-0.7pp y.o.y), reflecting a very solid focus on cost cutting and profitability. EBITDA performance reflected the decline in service revenues (Euro 84 million), which have a higher operating leverage. In effect, service revenues less direct costs declined by Euro 72 million, while EBITDA only declined by Euro 48 million.
In 1H12, capex decreased by 5.0% y.o.y to Euro 238 million, while customer related capex stood at Euro 95 million (+18% y.o.y), representing 40% of total capex in Portugal, as a result of customer growth in the last quarters in the residential segment that more than compensated lower unitary equipment costs. Infrastructure capex was down by 13% y.o.y to Euro 111 million explained by the strong investments made during the last years, namely in 1H11, in the deployment of the FTTH network and the reinforcement of 3G and 3.5G networks in terms of coverage and capacity, leading now to a decrease in technology capex, notwithstanding the investments in the deployment of the 4G network. Going forward, and particularly in 2012, PTs Portuguese telecommunication businesses capex will tend do decline double digit as PTs FTTH rollout will be concluded and notwithstanding the full rollout of PTs LTE networks in 2012. Capex in the Portuguese telecommunications business should decline by circa Euro 100 million in 2012, when compared to 2011.
Oi
Oi has reorganised its business units in order to move its focus from product to customer segments, having defined three main customer segments and priorities: (1) residential: aiming at leveraging the largest residential customer base in Brazil; (2) personal mobility: aimed at improving the competitiveness to improve market share, and (3) corporate and SMEs: focused on maintaining the leadership position in the segment and penetrate new markets. As part of Ois reorganisation, the company is also implementing a more aggressive commercial strategy, implementing regional commercial structures, restructuring its distribution network and stepping up investments in network and innovation.
In 2Q12, Ois revenue generating units (RGUs) stood at 72,334 thousand, up by 9.7% y.o.y, including: 18,037 thousand residential RGUs (-0.2% y.o.y), 45,198 thousand personal mobile customers, which grew by 15.1% y.o.y and 8,370 thousand enterprises RGUs, up by 7.5% y.o.y.
In 2Q12, in the residential segment, Oi showed a clear deceleration in the trend of line loss and an aceleration of broadband and pay-TV growth, which contributed to the turnaround of the historical wireline trends, underpinned by the strengthening of convergent offers and increased broadband speeds.
Oi has strengthened its portfolio by launching a fixed triple play offer, including a more atractive pay-TV offering for its broadband customers. Oi has also reinforced its TV offering by expanding the coverage of the free-to-air Globo TV and including additional content, namely the Bloomberg channel, ESPN Brasil and other entertainment channels. Oi TV Mais is now the most comprehensive offering in the market with 45 channels, including 8 sports channels, at R$29.90 per month, for the initial 3 months, for Oi Velox or Oi Conta Total customers, underpinning pay-TV customers performance. In 2Q12, Ois TV customers reached 487 thousand, up by 36.0% y.o.y and 23.0% q.o.q, with 91 thousand net additions. In terms of increased broadband speeds, the average internet bandwidth in 2Q12 stood at 2.7 Mbps (+29% y.o.y) and 26.5% of fixed broadband customers already have offers with speeds of more than 5 Mbps, as compared to 24.1% in 1Q12. Additionally, approximately 50% of the customers with more than 5Mbps, already have speeds higher than 10 Mbps. Ois residential broadband customers reached 4,806 thousand (+16.4% y.o.y and 4.2% q.o.q) and the total number of fixed broadband customers (residential plus corporate and SMEs) reached 5,332 thousand customers (+14.9% y.o.y and 3.6% q.o.q). This performance is
explained by: (1) the investments in coverage and quality of network; (2) the repositioning of broadband offering; (3) the new installation process, and (4) the strengthening of distribution channels.

(1) The pro-forma data amount refers to the old TNL as if the takeovers had occurred on 1 January 2012. Ois earnings proportionally consolidated by PT differ from figures presented in the table above as they are adjusted in order to include the amortisation of intangible assets recognised under the purchase price allocation of this investment and to comply with PTs accounting policies, estimates and criteria, including differences regarding the income statement format.

Main risks and uncertainties
PT has defined, as a priority commitment, the implementation of a process to evaluate and manage the risks that might affect its operations, the execution of the business plan and the achievement of strategic goals defined by the Board of Directors. Such mechanisms are based on an enterprise wide risk management model, which seeks to ensure, inter alia, the implementation of Corporate Governance practices and transparency in the disclosure of information to the market and shareholders.
As a structured approach, risk management is integrated in the Companys strategic planning and operational management procedures, and relies on the commitment of all employees to adopt risk management as an integral part of their duties, notably by identifying, reporting and implementing risk mitigation measures and behaviors.
Risk Management is sponsored by the Executive Committee in conjunction with the management teams from the various businesses, at national and international level, in such a way as to identify, evaluate and manage uncertainties and threats that might affect the pursuance of the plan and strategic goals. It should also be mentioned that the whole process is monitored by the Audit Committee, an independent supervisory body composed by non-executive board members.
The Risk Management process implemented in PT is based on an internationally acknowledged methodology COSO II, developed by the Committee of Sponsorship Organisations of the Treadway Commission. This approach is based on the identification and analysis of key value drivers and uncertainty factors that might affect value generation and compliance with the plan and achievement of strategic goals.
As a result of the process that manages risks that might adversely affect PT Groups business, the following risk should be highlighted:
Relevant Risks
Environment Risk |
|
Regulation |
|
PT is subject to the risk of regulatory changes or actions of national, European Union or international regulatory entities that may create growing competitive pressure and affect its capacity to conduct its business in an effective manner. The Regulation Department is in charge of the management of regulation risk and must be up to date on new regulations applicable to the sector with impact on PT. The risk management strategy and response is coordinated between the Regulation Department and the different operational areas. Within the follow-up of the various risks and opportunities related to regulation, we highlight the following matters: (i) Next Generation Networks; (ii) Retail offers and pricing; (iii) Wholesale reference offers; (iv) Universal Service; (v) Radio-electric spectrum; (vi) Relevant Broadband Markets; vii) Roaming regulation; (viii) Digital Dividend, and (ix) Network Security and Resilience. |
|
|
|
|
There is a possibility of a decline in PT Groups revenues due to an increase in competition by other operators or new players in the market, notably through (i) development of new products and services; (ii) aggressive marketing and sales policies; (iii) improvements in product or service quality; (iv) increase in productivity and cost reduction, and (v) re-configuration of the value chain from the customers viewpoint. On the Portuguese market, PT will continue to be a customer-oriented company focused on innovation and execution, managing its business along customer segments aiming at: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(1) Residential: Consolidate the growth trends in the residential segment by leveraging on its successful TV strategy through a differentiated and sophisticated multi-screen pay-TV experience. The growing connectivity available on next generation access networks will continue to be an overriding trend in the residential segment enabling the simultaneous connection of multiple devices through wireless and wireline networks inside the customer home (TVs, games consoles, PCs, laptops, tablets, smartphones). Multi-screen TV is a key lever for differentiation and Meo has already converged towards a seamless offering on the TV, PC and smartphone. Cloud-based services are becoming an increasingly popular reality allowing easy access to software and technology and higher security in the storage of key data. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Competition |
|
(2) Personal: Develop innovative data and internet access products, convergent services and apps for the personal segment, supported by the strong presence of its Sapo online portal and on key partnerships, while simultaneously redesigning its tariff structure to improve the underlying trends in the mobile business, and aimed at catalyzing the upselling of Internet and lock-in of high value customers, shifting away from pricing competition. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(3) Enterprise and small/medium business: New services leveraging on PTs unique transport and access networks. Through investments in infrastructure and telecom-IT convergence, PT intends to develop and market advanced integrated solutions for the corporate and SME segments aimed at promoting the penetration of IT/IS and BPO services, thus increasing customer share of wallet and loyalty in these competitive market segments. PT will also leverage on its new leading-edge data centre and cloud computing in order to supply new and distinctive services to the market. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the international level PT will remain focused on the operational performance of its assets and on the sharing of best practices across the various businesses. The expansion of international operations to multiple geographies is one of the most important catalysts of value creation in the telecommunications sector and PT has been building a relevant portfolio of international operations. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It should also be stressed that these actions are complemented by a constant benchmarking of PT vis-à-vis its competitors, in order to ensure leadership and excellence of its offering to its customers. |
|
|
|
|
With a background of quick technological changes of the business sector in which PT operates, the company is subjected to the risk of failing to leverage technological advances and developments in its business model, in order to obtain or maintain competitive advantages. Innovation continued to be a top priority for Portugal Telecom, given its key role in ensuring sustained growth, particularly in a difficult economic context that forces higher competitiveness in product offering and simultaneously demands a higher efficiency in its development and go-to-market processes. Portugal Telecom is historically one of the Portuguese companies with a larger volume of investment in R&D. In this field, PT holds strategic assets that allow it to ensure the implementation of innovative projects, including: |
|
|
Technological |
|
· PT Inovação: a company aimed at the technological development of the Groups businesses, in terms of applied research, engineering services and development of innovative solutions and services, both in the domestic and international markets. · OPEN development and innovation programme: having as its purpose the implementation of systematised research practices and information processing, involving the whole organisation, for the materialisation of innovative projects. · Strategic planning of network infrastructures and rollout of new technologies, which implies the preparation of reports and periodic analysis on the evolution, standardisation and adoption of new technologies by the sector, including the carrying out of international benchmarks. · Strategic partnerships with technological, equipment and content suppliers and service providers. |
|
|
|
|
|
Environment Risk |
|
Economic |
|
The international financial crisis may extend the recession in the Portuguese and World economy, and delay economic recovery, which might have an impact on the level of product and service demand, and as a result on the level of the operational and financial performance of PT. In this sense, management continuously monitors impacts on the operational and financial performance of the PT Group. The management team acts proactively in identifying threats and opportunities at the level of the industry, sector and geographies were it is present, in order to diversify the asset portfolio and ensure the growth and profitability of the business. |
|
|
|
|
|
Financial Risks |
|
Exchange Rates |
|
Portugal Telecom holds financial investments in foreign countries which currency is not the euro, including Brazil and some African countries. Exchange rate fluctuations of those currencies against the euro affect the translation of the results attributable to Portugal Telecom, and therefore affect PTs results and asset position. Additionally, PT is also exposed to exchange rate risks in regards to debt in a currency other than Euro. The Company does not have a hedging policy regarding the value of these Investments; however, the Executive Committee analyses the execution of cash flow hedging of the dividends and other capital income. |
|
|
|
| |
|
Interest Rates |
|
Interest rate risk basically impact our financial expenses on the floating interest rate debt. With the increased uncertainty and volatility of the financial market, Risk premium in the markets and the fluctuation of the interest rates of the Portuguese sovereign debt have increased significantly, which amplify the probability of occurrence of this risk. In this way, the current conditions of the financial markets might have an adverse effect |
|
|
|
|
on PT Groups ability to access the capital it needs to support its growth, its strategies, and to generate future financial returns. The management of the financial market risk is ensured by the Treasury Department.
|
|
|
Portugal Telecom contracts a set of derivative financial instruments so as to minimise the risks of exposure to interest and exchange rate variations. The execution of agreements concerning financial instruments is made after a careful analysis of risks and benefits inherent in this kind of transactions and in consultation with various institutions acting in this market. These transactions are subject to prior approval by the Executive Committee and involve a permanent follow-up of the evolution of the financial markets and of the positions held by the Company. The fair value of these derivatives is determined on a regular basis, essentially based on market information, in order to assess the economic and financial implications of different scenarios. | ||
|
|
Credit risk |
|
Credit risk mainly relates to the risk that a third party fails on its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss. Portugal Telecom is subject to credit risks in its operating and treasury activities. Credit risks in operations basically relate to outstanding receivables from services rendered to our customers. These risks are monitored on a business-to-business basis, and Portugal Telecoms management of these risks aims to: (i) limit the credit granted to customers, considering the profile and the aging of receivables from each customer; (ii) monitor the evolution of the level of credit granted; (iii) perform an impairment analysis of its receivables on a regular basis; and (iv) assess the market risk where the customer is located. Risks related to treasury activities mainly result from the cash investments made by the Group. In order to dilute these risks, Portugal Telecoms policy is to invest its cash for short time periods, entering in agreements with highly rated financial institutions and diversifying counterparties. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Liquidity risk |
|
These risks may occur if the sources of funding, including cash balance, operating cash inflows, divestments, credit lines and cash flows obtained from financing operations, do not match PT financing needs, such as operating and financing outflows, investments, shareholder remuneration and debt repayments. In order to mitigate liquidity risks, the company seeks to maintain a liquidity position and an average maturity of debt that allows it to repay its short-term debt and, at the same time, pay all its contractual obligations. Additionally the capital structure of Portugal Telecom is managed in order to ensure that its businesses will be able to continue as a going concern and maximise the return to shareholders. The company reviews periodically its capital structure considering the risks associated with each of the classes of the capital structure.
In June 2012, PT has decided to adopt a more prudent financial strategy to enhance its financial flexibility through increased debt reduction and extension of debt maturities, With this strategy, PT is now refinanced until the end of 2015, shall be reducing leverage and shall have more flexibility to continue to invest in the development of its business. |
|
|
|
|
|
Operational Risk |
|
Infrastructure |
|
The capacity and availability of network infrastructures are essential features for PT to ensure continued critical operations within high quality parameters, aimed not only at customer satisfaction, but also in compliance with regulatory requirements. |
|
|
|
|
In this way, PT Group has strongly emphasised the management process of this risk, not only at infrastructure availability and resilience level, but also in the increase of infrastructure capacity, in such a way as to support new product and service offers to its customers. Additionally, PTs ownership of a network infrastructure located in the public domain increases PTs exposure to the occurrence of breakdowns and incidents. Within this scope, follow-up and risk mitigation actions are carried out as follows: · Securing the telecommunications core network; · Preparation of risk maps for the various technological platforms, identifying dependencies and single failure points; · Definition and implementation of disaster recovery plans; · Implementation of systems and procedures aimed at ensuring determined QoS (Quality of Service) and QoE (Quality of End user Experience) levels; · Investment in new generation networks and preventive maintenance actions; · Investment in information systems to support the activity of technical teams; · Investment in new state of the art Datacentre, in order to ensure the resilience and capacity of the infrastructure. During 2011 it should also be highlighted the consolidation on a single Business Continuity office of all the processes and operations that guarantee the resilience of the core services of PT, in order to increase their efficiency and effectiveness of the companys response in the following areas: · Prevention: Planning and preparation in order to reduce the impact of incidents in the critical processes that support the business; · Emergency Response and Recover: Business continuity and disaster recovery plans that reduce the time of recovery of critical processes in case of catastrophic events. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Strategic Partnerships |
|
The growth strategy at national and international level is based on a combination of alliances and partnerships that enhance the Companys competitive capacity. The Executive Committee of PT and its subsidiary companies have played a central role in the management of this risk, by leveraging on existing opportunities. Such alliances are not restricted to a single field, as they include as partners: (i) technology suppliers; (ii) infrastructure and maintenance providers; (iii) R&D experts; (iv) terminal equipments and handhelds suppliers, and (v) content suppliers, among others. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Environmental |
|
Pursuing an appropriate environmental policy has been a concern for PT, in order to reduce the Companys exposure to environmental damages that might consist in: (i) liability towards third parties for any material damage caused; (ii) liability towards governments or third parties for the cost of waste removal, added by possible compensations. In this way, PT has reinforced its environmental management principles and actions, thus ensuring the certification of associated systems according to the ISO 14001 standard. Environmental management policies and systems cover the following areas of intervention: (i) Resource consumption; (ii) Waste production and routing; (iii) Atmospheric emissions; (iv) Noise and electromagnetic fields; (v) A suppliers sustainability programme; (v) Awareness and training campaigns. Furthermore, it should be stressed that the management models are subjected to periodic audits, both internal |
|
|
|
|
and external, and a continuous assessment of any impacts and improvements to be implemented is also carried out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Talent Retention |
|
PT capacity to obtain and retain talent is a fundamental vector for the pursuance of the Companys strategic goals, particularly within the competitive context where PT operates, both at national and international level. In this way, the Company has paid special attention to the management of this risk, at the charge of the Human Resources Office, which acts: · In the recruitment of new employees having the profile and knowledge necessary to ensure the key skills required for the present and future development of PT Group; · In the identification of key-elements of PT Group, and then implement retention strategies as appropriate for the segments defined for its management. |

Portugal Telecom, SGPS, S.A.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as at 30 June 2012
(Amounts stated in Euros, except where otherwise mentioned)
1. Introduction
Portugal Telecom, SGPS, SA (Portugal Telecom) and its subsidiaries (Group, Portugal Telecom Group, or the Company) are engaged in rendering a comprehensive range of telecommunications and multimedia services in Portugal, Brazil and other countries in Africa and Asia. These services have not significantly changed during the six months period ended 30 June 2012, as compared to those reported in Portugal Telecoms last annual report.
On 27 February 2012, the general meetings of Tele Norte Leste Participações S.A. (TNL), Telemar Norte Leste S.A. (Telemar), Coari Participações (Coari) and Brasil Telecom S.A. (Brasil Telecom) approved a corporate reorganization of the Oi Group (the Corporate Reorganization), following which the previous corporate structure composed by TNL, Telemar, Coari and Brasil Telecom was integrated in Brasil Telecom, which was renamed Oi S.A. and remained the only listed company of the group in Brazilian and US capital markets. This Corporate Reorganization consisted of:
· The share exchange of newly issued shares of Coari for currently outstanding shares issued by Telemar, resulting in Telemar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coari;
· The merger of Coari into Brasil Telecom, with Coari ceasing to exist and Telemar becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brasil Telecom;
· The merger of TNL into Brasil Telecom, with TNL ceasing to exist; and
· The distribution of redeemable shares of Brasil Telecom exclusively to holders of Brasil Telecom prior to the merger, with cash redemption of such shares to be made immediately after their issuance for an amount of R$1,502 million, which was reflected in the computation of the exchange ratios considered in the mergers mentioned above. Taking into consideration the commitment underlying these operations, Brasil Telecom recognized in 2011 this amount payable to its shareholders, including R$740 million payable to its former controlling shareholder Coari Participações (49.3%), which was fully owned by Telemar, and R$762 million payable to the former non-controlling interests. Consequently, Portugal Telecom proportionally consolidated the liability related to non-controlling interests amounting to Euro 86 million as at the date of the deliberation, which was included under the caption Other current liabilities. On 9 April 2012, Oi, S.A. paid the amount due to its former non-controlling shareholders.
As a result of the approval of this Corporate Reorganization and following the one month period ended on 29 March 2012 during which shareholders entitled to such were allowed to exercise its withdrawal rights, the interests held directly in Oi S.A. (former Brasil Telecom) by companies consolidated in Portugal Telecoms financial statements, following the completion of the Corporate Reorganization, were as follows : (1) Telemar Participações had a 17.70% stake and remained the controlling shareholder of the Oi Group, with 56.43% of the voting rights of Oi, S.A; (2) Portugal Telecom had a 15.54% stake, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Bratel Brasil, S.A.; and (3) AG Telecom Participações, S.A. and LF Tel, S.A. had a stake of 4.54% each. Accordingly, the new economic interest held by Portugal Telecom in the Oi Group, which currently includes 100% of Telemar and Brasil Telecom and prior to the reorganization included 100% of Telemar and 49.3% of Brasil Telecom, decreased from the 25.31% direct and indirect interest previously held in Telemar to a 23.25% direct and indirect interest in Oi, S.A. following the completion of the Corporate
Reorganization. Portugal Telecoms interest in Telemar Participações (25.62%) did not change as a result of this transaction and therefore Portugal Telecom still proportionally consolidates the Oi Group based on this percentage.
On 9 April 2012, in connection with the Corporate Reorganization explained above, Oi S.A. paid a total consideration of R$ 2,000 million (Note 14.m) related to the exercise of withdrawal rights by shareholders that required it. Also on 9 April 2012, in relation to the above mentioned distribution of redeemable shares of Brasil Telecom, Oi, S.A. paid to its former non-controlling shareholders prior to the mergers a total amount of R$ 762 million (Note 14.m), which is included in Portugal Telecoms Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2011 under the caption Other current liabilities.
In connection with the Corporate Reorganization mentioned above, Portugal Telecom recorded a gain directly in shareholders equity (before non-controlling interests) amounting to Euro 61 million, which reflects (1) a gain of Euro 252 million corresponding to the reduction of the carrying value of non-controlling interests, primarily explained by a higher difference between the fair value and the carrying value of Telemar, as compared to that same difference applicable to Brasil Telecom, and (2) a loss of Euro 191 million corresponding to the amount of R$ 2.0 billion paid by Oi regarding the exercise of withdrawal rights (Euro 211 million), net of the corresponding effect on non-controlling interests (Euro 19 million). Since this restructuring did not involve the acquisition or a loss of control of any of the companies involved in the restructuring process, as Telemar Participações remained the controlling shareholder and Portugal Telecom maintained its joint control over the Oi Group, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction, with the reduction of non-controlling interests being recorded as a gain directly in equity.
Notwithstanding the Corporate Reorganization of the Oi Group, Portugal Telecoms Consolidated Statements of Income, Comprehensive Income and Cash Flows for the six months period ended 30 June 2012 include the results and cash flows of all Oi Companies since 1 January 2012.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors and authorized for issue on 26 July 2012.
2. Basis of presentation
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. These financial statements do not include all the information required by the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011. In addition, further explanations for the main changes of revenues and costs are disclosed in our interim management report, which should be read in conjunction with these interim consolidated financial statements.
The consolidation principles followed in the preparation of these interim financial statements are the same as were applied in the preparation of the last annual consolidated financial statements.
Changes in the consolidation perimeter
During the six months period ended 30 June 2012, there were no relevant changes in the consolidation perimeter.
On 28 March 2011, Portugal Telecom concluded the acquisition process of its investments in Oi and Contax and the agreements with its controlling shareholders for a total cash consideration of Euro 3,728 million, following which Portugal Telecom proportionally consolidated its assets and liabilities as from 31 March 2011 and its earnings as from 1 April 2011. Accordingly, the Consolidated Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flows for the six months period ended 30 June 2012 are not entirely
comparable to the financial statements for the same period of last year, as the earnings and cash flows from Oi and Contax were not proportionally consolidated in the three months period ended 31 March 2011.
For a better understanding of the changes in the Consolidated Income Statement, which in 2012 includes the contribution of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders since 1 January while in 2011 only includes that contribution as from 1 April, the table below provides the contribution of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders for Portugal Telecoms net income attributable to equity holders of the parent in the three months period ended 31 March 2012:

(i) Although the 31 March 2012 statutory financial statements of Oi, S.A. include three months of former Brasil Telecom (now Oi, S.A.) and only one month of Telemar and TNL as from 1 March 2012 (the date these companies were merged into the new Oi, S.A.), following the approval of the Corporate Reorganization on 27 February 2012, the Income Statement for the three months period ended 31 March 2012 presented in the table above includes the results of all Oi Companies since 1 January 2012. This Income Statement also includes the results of Contax and the controlling shareholders. In addition, the financial statements of Oi and Contax were adjusted in order to comply with Portugal Telecoms accounting policies, estimates and criteria, including the amortization of intangible assets recognized under the purchase price allocation.
Completion of the purchase price allocation of the investments in Oi and Contax
As mentioned in Portugal Telecoms 2011 annual report, following the preliminary assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax, the purchase price allocation of these business combinations recorded as at 31 December 2011 was subject to changes until the completion of the one year period from the acquisition date, as allowed by IFRS 3 Business Combinations. During the first quarter of 2012, Portugal Telecom obtained the necessary information to conclude the final assessment of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed under these business combinations and, as a result of the changes made to the purchase price allocation recorded as at 31 December 2011, the Company restated its Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of that date, in order to reflect those changes as if they had been recognized on the acquisition date. Portugal Telecom has concluded the assessment of contingent liabilities and recognised a total amount of Euro 233 million related to the fair value of contingent liabilities regarding contractual obligations and civil, labor and tax proceedings.
The impacts of the above mentioned restatement made to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2011 are as follows:

The impacts of the restatement detailed in the table above resulted in an increase of the goodwill related to the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax by Euro 206 million as at 31 December 2011, from a total Euro 846 million that was recorded on a preliminary basis as of that date and included in the 2011 annual report. Considering the exchange rate prevailing as of the acquisition date, on 28 March 2011, the preliminary goodwill of Euro 904 million, reported in the 2011 annual report, was increased by Euro 220 million to a total revised goodwill of Euro 1,123 million related to the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax for a total cash consideration of Euro 3,728 million.
Prior to the initial purchase price allocation of the investments in Oi and Contax that was recorded as at 31 December 2011, the Company, on a preliminary basis, had allocated to goodwill the entire difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of net assets acquired. Consequently, as a result of the purchase price allocation initially recorded at 2011 year end, Portugal Telecom restated its Consolidated Income Statements for the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2011, in order to reflect the amortization of the intangible assets recognized under the purchase price allocation as if they had been recognized on acquisition date. The impacts of this restatement are as follows:

3. Accounting policies, judgments and estimates
The accounting policies, estimates and judgments applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in Portugal Telecoms last annual financial statements.
As a result of its approval by the European Union, the following standards, revised standards or interpretations became effective during the six months period ended 30 June 2012, although their adoption had no impact in Portugal Telecoms consolidated financial statements:
· IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures (revision) This revision clarifies some disclosures to be made regarding related parties, namely those regarding entities related to the public administration;
· IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of IFRS (revision) The changes included in this standard simplify the disclosure of comparative information regarding financial instruments upon the first time adoption of IFRS;
· IAS 32 Financial Instruments (revision) This revision clarifies the conditions under which rights issued can be classified as equity instruments;
· IFRIC 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction The changes included in this interpretation solve an unintentional consequence resulting from the accounting treatment of the prepayment of future contributions under circumstances where the minimum funding requirement is applicable;
· IFRIC 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments This interpretation provides guidance on the accounting for transactions under which the terms of a financial liability are renegotiated leading to the issuance by the company of equity instruments to settle the total or part of the financial liability.
In addition, according to the dates set by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), the adoption of the following standards, revised standards or interpretations is mandatory as from 1 January 2012, although their application is not yet mandatory for Portugal Telecom either because those standards, revised standards or interpretations were not yet approved by the European Union or because the mandatory application date set by the European Union occurs only in subsequent years:
· Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes; and
· Amendments to IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of IFRS.
In 2012, the IASB issued the following standards, revised standards or interpretations, which were not yet approved by the European Union and its mandatory application date set by the IASB occurs only in subsequent years:
· On 13 March 2012, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 1 First Time Adoption of IFRS that relate to loans obtained from government entities at a below market interest rate, giving first-time adopters of IFRSs relief from full retrospective application of IFRSs when accounting for these loans on transition. These amendments are not applicable to Portugal Telecom.
· On 28 June 2012, the IASB issued Consolidated Financial Statements, Joint Arrangements and Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities: Transition Guidance (Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12). These amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and also provide additional transition relief in IFRS 10, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information to only the preceding comparative period. Furthermore, for disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities, these amendments will remove the requirement to present comparative information for periods before IFRS 12 is first applied.
4. Exchange rates
As at 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2011, assets and liabilities denominated in Brazilian Reais were translated to Euros using the exchange rates of 2.5788 and 2.4159 Brazilian Reais to the Euro, respectively. During the six month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the income statements of subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities expressed in Brazilian Reais were translated to Euros using the average exchange rates of 2.4144 and 2.2879 Brazilian Reais to the Euro, respectively.
5. Segment reporting
The identification and presentation of the operating segments, which is consistent with the segments presented on the annual financial statements as at 31 December 2011, is as follows: (i) Telecommunications in Portugal; and (ii) Telecommunications in Brazil - Oi. There is no difference between operating and reportable segments.
In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, revenues by operating segment and its contribution to the Groups consolidated revenues were as follows:

(i) The reduction in standalone revenues from telecommunications in Portugal in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 (Euro 84 million and Euro 47 million, respectively), as compared to the same periods of last year, is primarily explained by: (1) lower revenues driven by the Enterprise customer segment (Euro 46 million and Euro 22 million, respectively), impacted by pricing and consumption pressure on both SME and large companies, significant cut back on the public administration and postponement of investment decisions by large customer corporate; (2) revenue decline in the Personal customer segment (Euro 35 million and Euro 17 million, respectively), as a result of lower customer revenues (Euro 25 million and Euro 12 million, respectively) reflecting challenging economic conditions and pricing pressure, lower interconnection revenues (Euro 8 million and Euro 4 million, respectively), following the negative impact of the decline in Mobile Termination Rates (MTRs), and lower sales; and (3) a reduction in revenues from wholesale and other businesses (Euro 19 million and Euro 17 million, respectively), as a result of lower accesses and traffic revenues, a decline in public phones and lower revenues from the directories business (Euro 5 million and Euro 3 million, respectively). These effects were partially offset by an increase in revenues from the Residential customer segment (Euro 16 million and Euro 9 million, respectively), mainly related to Pay-TV and broadband revenues, which are underpinned by the solid performance and continued market share gains of Meos double and triple play offers.
(ii) As mentioned in Note 2, the results of Oi were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, which explains the significant increase in this caption in the six months period ended 30 June 2012 compared to the same period of last year. The lower revenues in the three months period ended 30 June 2012 (Euro 79 million), as compared to the same period of last year, reflect primarily the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 75 million). Adjusting for this effect, the reduction in revenues amounting to Euro 3 million reflects a decrease in services rendered (Euro 34 million) partially offset by an increase in sales and other operating revenues (Euro 30 million). The reduction in services rendered is primarily explained by lower fixed voice revenues that more than compensated the increase in broadband and pay-TV revenues.
(iii) The increase in the contribution of other businesses to consolidated revenues reflects the impact of the proportional consolidation of Contax in the first quarter of 2012 (Euro 148 million), which was proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI business in the first half of 2011 (Euro 134 million), as this business was fully consolidated up to 30 June 2011 and then integrated in Contax following the completion of the exchange
of Portugal Telecoms interest in this business for an additional stake in Contax. Excluding the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, the contribution of other businesses to consolidated revenues increased by Euro 36 million, reflecting (1) an increase at Contax in the second quarter of 2012 over the same period of last year, reflecting the contribution from Dedic/GPTI business in the second quarter of 2012, partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro, and (2) improved performance at certain international operations, namely Cabo Verde Telecom and MTC, in Namibia.
In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the reconciliation between income before financial results and taxes relating to operating segments and the Groups consolidated net income is as follows:

(i) The reduction in this caption in the six months period ended 30 June 2012, as compared to the same period of last year, is primarily explained by lower net service revenues (service revenues minus direct costs), which more than offset the following effects: (1) a decrease in supplies and external services explained primarily by the cost cutting policy implemented at Portuguese operations and by a reduction in maintenance and repair expenses following the rollout of Portugal Telecoms FTTH network; (2) lower depreciation and amortization expenses, primarily explained by swap of TMNs 2G equipment to LTE (4G) enabled equipment, following which TMN accelerated the depreciation of 2G equipments in the first half of 2011 up to 30 June (Note 12); (3) a reduction in wages and salaries, as a result of the focus on cost cutting, including lower variable and overtime remunerations, higher efficiency levels in certain internal processes, and lower personnel costs as a result of the restructuring plan implemented in the end of 2011; and (4) a gain recorded in the second quarter of 2012 under the caption Non-recurring costs (gains) corresponding to an estimated net compensation receivable from the Portuguese State for prior years costs supported by PT Comunicações with the universal service obligation under the Concession Agreement (Note 7).
(ii) As mentioned in Note 2, the results of Oi were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, which explains the increase in this caption in the six months period ended 30 June 2012 compared to the same period of last year. The reduction in the second quarter of 2012 over the same period of last year reflects primarily: (1) an increase in supplies and external services, mostly due to higher costs related to higher capillary of distribution channels; (2) higher personnel costs as a result of increased staff levels and organisational restructuring, including new region commercial structures in order to improve regional operational performance; and also (3) the impact of depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 8 million).
(iii) The increase in this caption reflects primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Contax in the first quarter of 2012, a higher contribution from this company in the second quarter of 2012 over the same period of the last year, and also losses recorded by the Dedic/GPTI business in the first half of 2011.
(iv) In the six months period ended 30 June 2011, this caption includes a gain of Euro 38 million recorded in the first quarter related to the completion of the disposal of the investment in UOL, for a total amount of Euro 155.5 million (Note 14.e). Adjusting for this effect, equity in earnings of associated companies would have increased from Euro 85 million to Euro 96 million in the six month periods ended 30 June 2011 and 2012, respectively, reflecting primarily the improvement in earnings of Unitel and CTM.
In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, capital expenditures by operating segment and their reconciliation to the consolidated capital expenditures are as follows (Note 12):

(i) This caption excludes the investment made by Oi in the second quarter of 2012 for the acquisition of 4G licenses for a total amount of R$ 400 million, equivalent to Euro 42 million proportionally consolidated in Portugal Telecoms financial statements.
The change in capital expenditures in the six and three months period ended 30 June 2012, as compared to the same period of last year, reflects primarily the following effects:
· A reduction in capital expenditures of Portuguese operations, which were directed towards investments in future proof technologies, namely FTTH, including the coverage of mobile base stations with fibre, and 4G/LTE. This reduction reflects primarily the strong investments made during the last years, namely in the first half of 2011, in the deployment of the FTTH network and the reinforcement of 3G and 3.5G networks in terms of coverage and capacity, leading now to a decrease in technology capital expenditures, notwithstanding the investments in the deployment of the 4G network. Portugal Telecom has been strengthening its mobile data capabilities and its network quality by leveraging the existing FTTH deployment to boost its mobile network quality and lead the 4G/LTE roll-out in the Portuguese market;
· An increase in the contribution of Oi to consolidated capital expenditures, which stood at Euro 218 million in the six months period ended 30 June 2012, compared to a contribution of Euro 117 million to consolidated capital expenditures in the six months period ended 30 June 2011, an increase of Euro 101 million reflecting primarily the effect of the proportional consolidation in the first quarter of 2012 (Euro 121 million), partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro in the second quarter of 2012 over the same period of last year (Euro 12 million). Adjusting for these effects, Ois contribution to consolidated capital expenditures would have decreased by only Euro 8 million; and
· An increase in capital expenditures of other businesses (Euro 16 million), reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Contax in the first quarter of 2012 (Euro 5 million) and higher capital expenditures at MTC (Euro 14 million), mainly due to investments in the African submarine cable and in 4G, and at Cabo Verde Telecom (Euro 6 million). These effects were partially offset by capital expenditures from the Dedic/GPTI business in the first half of 2011, as this business was fully consolidated until 30 June 2011 and then integrated in Contax.
6. Post retirement benefits
As at 30 June 2012, the Company did not obtain an actuarial valuation to recognize post retirement benefits and therefore costs recorded during the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 are based on the 31 December 2011 actuarial studies, adjusted only by curtailment costs incurred during that period.
As at 30 June 2012, the projected post retirement benefits obligations from Portuguese operations, which relate to pension complements and healthcare benefits, totalled Euro 473 million and the market value of assets under management amounted to Euro 357 million, as compared to Euro 474 million and Euro 345 million as at 31 December 2011, respectively. In addition, Portugal Telecom had liabilities with salaries payable to suspended and pre-retired employees amounting to Euro 760 million as at 30 June 2012, as compared to Euro 782 million as at 31 December 2011, which are not subject to any legal funding requirement. These salaries are paid on a monthly basis directly by Portugal Telecom to beneficiaries until retirement age. As at 30 June 2012, Portugal Telecom had unrecognized prior years service gains related to unvested rights amounting to Euro 16 million and therefore net benefits obligations from Portuguese operations recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position amounted to Euro 892 million, as compared to Euro 929 million as at 31 December 2011. In addition, following the acquisition of the investment in Oi, concluded on 28 March 2011, Portugal Telecom proportionally consolidated net post retirement benefits obligations of that company, which amounted to Euro 51 million as at 30 June 2012 and Euro 62 million as at 31 December 2011.
During the six month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the movements occurred in post retirement benefits obligations, net of the market value of plan assets and unrecognized prior year service gains, were as follows:

(i) This caption relates to a contribution paid by Portugal Telecom to the Portuguese Social Security System, regarding the annual service of active employees that were entitled to pension benefits under the Companys post retirement benefits plans transferred to the Portuguese State in December 2010.
(ii) Oi has several plans that present a surplus position for which an asset is not recorded as it is not possible to obtain reimbursements for the excess financing of those plans; accordingly, and considering the provisions of IFRIC 14 The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction, losses are recognized for those plans for which an asset cannot be recognized.

(i) In the six months period ended 30 June 2012, this caption corresponds to the estimated impact of the adoption of Dec-Law 85-A/2012, which suspended the early retirement regime during the financial assistance programme to Portugal, resulting in higher salaries payable to pre-retired and suspended employees up to retirement age. In the six months period ended 30 June 2011, this caption corresponds to a gain resulting from the change of the discount rate actuarial assumption, from 4.75% to 5.50% for healthcare benefits and from 4.75% to 5.00% for pension complements.
(ii) Net actuarial gains and losses recorded in the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011 relate to the difference between actual and expected return on plan assets. In the six month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the actual return on plan assets was +8.5% and -5.5%, respectively, as compared to the actuarial assumption of 3.0%.

7. Other costs (gains), net
Other gains amounted to Euro 17 million in the six months period ended 30 June 2012, as compared to other costs of Euro 7 million in the same period of last year, a change of Euro 24 million reflecting primarily a gain recorded in the second quarter of 2012 related to the net compensation for prior years costs supported by Portugal Telecom with the universal service obligation under the Concession Agreement, as envisaged in the Law Proposal Nº. 66/XII, partially offset by non recurring provisions and adjustments to certain assets also recognized in 2012.

The increase in net interest expenses reflects primarily (1) the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders in the first quarter of 2012, amounting to Euro 66 million (Note 2), as the earnings from these businesses were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, (2) an Euro 51 million interest gain recorded in the first quarter of 2011 on the cash deposits in Brazilian Reais that were used to pay the strategic investments in Oi and Contax on 28 March 2011, and (3) a higher contribution from Oi (Euro 27 million), reflecting mainly the impact of the increase in its average net debt as a result of dividends paid in May 2012 and amounts paid to non-controlling shareholders in April 2012 in connection with the completion of the corporate reorganization of the Oi Group, partially offset by the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro.

The reduction in net other financial losses, which include net foreign currency losses, net losses on financial assets and net other financial expenses, reflects primarily a decrease in net foreign currency exchange losses at Portuguese operations, mainly due to the impact of the significant depreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro in the six months period ended 30 June 2011 on net
assets denominated in US Dollars, as compared to an appreciation in the first half of 2012. In addition, the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders in the first quarter of 2012, amounting to Euro 15 million (Note 2), was offset by the financial taxes incurred in Brazil during the first quarter of 2011 in connection with the transfer of funds for the investment in Oi (Euro 14 million).

Following a change in Portuguese tax legislation occurred in December 2011, for the years 2012 and 2013 the Company will be subject to Corporate Income Tax at a base rate of 25%, increased (1) up to a maximum of 1.5% of taxable income through a municipal tax, and (2) by a state surcharge levied at the rate of 3.0% on taxable income between Euro 1.5 million and Euro 10.0 million and at the rate of 5.0% on taxable income in excess of Euro 10.0 million, resulting in a maximum aggregate tax rate of approximately 31.5%, as compared to a maximum aggregate tax rate of 29.0% that was applicable for the year 2011.
Companies located in Brazil, namely Oi and Contax that were proportionally consolidated as from 1 April 2011, are subject to income taxes at a nominal rate of 34%.
In the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the reconciliation between the nominal and the effective income tax is as follows:

(i) This caption corresponds to the impact of the difference between the maximum aggregate statutory tax rate applicable in Portugal and other tax rates applicable to Group companies. The change in this caption reflects primarily (1) the impact of a higher difference between lower tax rates applicable to certain Group companies that present tax earnings and are located outside mainland Portugal and the new maximum aggregate tax rate applicable in Portugal (31.5%), and also (2) lower earnings from Brazilian businesses, which are subject to a higher tax rate (34%) than in Portugal.
(ii) The increase in this caption reflects primarily the impact of higher non-taxable interest income and equity gains in 2011, related mainly to the financial effect on Telefónicas receivable regarding the disposal of Vivo and the gain recorded upon the disposal of the investment in UOL, respectively.
The reduction in consolidated income taxes from Euro 96 million in the six months period ended 30 June 2011 to Euro 89 million in the same period of 2012 reflects primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in the first quarter of 2012, amounting to an income tax gain of Euro 13 million (Note 2), and the effect resulting from the reduction in income before income tax from Portuguese operations.
Deferred tax assets recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position amounted to Euro 1,253 million as at 30 June 2012 and Euro 1,248 million as at 31 December 2011, and reflect the following effects occurred in the first half of 2012: (1) an increase at Oi (Euro 38 million) related mainly to tax losses carryforward generated in the period; (2) an increase in deferred tax assets related to post-retirement liabilities from Portuguese operations resulting from the tax effect on net actuarial losses recorded in the six months period ended 30 June 2012, which amounted to a gain of Euro 4 million and was recognized in the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income; partially offset by (3) a reduction in deferred tax assets related to tax losses carryforward from Portuguese operations (Euro 30 million), due to the taxable income generated in the period.
The reduction in deferred tax liabilities recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, from Euro 1,052 million as at 31 December 2011 to Euro 978 million as at 30 June 2012, reflects mainly a reduction at Oi, amounting to Euro 74 million. This reduction corresponds primarily to the tax effect on the recognition in profit and loss of the fair value adjustments, mainly related to intangible assets, that were recorded in connection with purchase price allocations related to the acquisition by Portugal Telecom of the investments in Oi and Contax, completed in March 2011, and to other business combinations occurred in previous years at the Oi Group.

(i) Weighted average shares outstanding were computed considering the 896,512,500 issued shares adjusted for (1) 20,640,000 treasury shares held through equity swap contracts, and (2) Portugal Telecoms stake in its own shares that were acquired by Telemar Norte Leste in 2011 and 2012, under the strategic partnership between Portugal Telecom and Oi.
(ii) The change in this caption relates to adjustments to the exchange price of exchangeable bonds following the dividends paid in June 2011 and May 2012.
On 6 May 2011, the Annual Shareholders Meeting of Portugal Telecom approved the proposal of the Board of Directors to distribute a dividend of 1.30 Euros per share, which was paid on 3 June 2011. This amount includes 65 cents per share corresponding to the ordinary dividend relating to the fiscal year 2010 and 65 cents relating to the total exceptional dividend of 1.65 Euros proposed by Portugal Telecom following the disposal of its investment in Brasilcel, of which 1 Euro per share had already been paid in December 2010. Therefore, Portugal Telecom paid in the second quarter of 2011 a total amount of Euro 1,117,987,321 (Note 14.k) in relation to outstanding shares.
On 15 December 2011, the Board of Directors of Portugal Telecom approved the payment to its shareholders of an advance over 2011 profits equivalent to a dividend of 21.5 cents per share, totalling an amount of Euro 184,799,868 (Note 14.k), which was included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2011 under the caption Other current liabilities and was paid on 4 January 2012.
On 27 April 2012, the Annual Shareholders Meeting of Portugal Telecom approved the proposal of the Board of Directors to distribute a dividend of 65 cents per share, of which 21.5 cents per share were paid on 4 January 2012 as an advance over 2011 profits, as mentioned above, and the remaining 43.5 cents per share were paid on 25 May 2012, amounting to Euro 371,937,439 (Note 14.k) in relation to outstanding shares.
Cash amounts mentioned above correspond to the unitary dividend paid to the 896,512,500 Portugal Telecoms issued shares adjusted by treasury shares recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, which include 20,640,000 shares held through equity swaps and Portugal Telecoms economic interest in its own shares that were acquired by Telemar Norte Leste throughout 2011 and 2012.

The change in the carrying amount of tangible and intangible assets during the six months period ended 30 June 2012 is primarily explained by:
· Depreciation and amortization costs of Euro 683 million;
· Capital expenditures amounting to Euro 522 million (Note 5);
· The acquisition of 4G/LTE licenses by Oi in June 2012 for a total amount of Euro 42 million (Note 5); and
· Negative foreign currency translation adjustments amounting to Euro 439 million, primarily related to the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro.
During the six and three month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, depreciation and amortization costs and capital expenditures were as follows:

The increase of Euro 104 million in depreciation and amortization costs in the six months period ended 30 June 2012, as compared to the same period of last year, reflects primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in the first quarter of 2012, amounting to Euro 161 million (Note 2), partially offset by the contribution of Dedic/GPTI in the first half of 2011 (Euro 8 million), as Oi and Contax were proportionally consolidated only as from 1 April 2011 and include Dedic/GPTI as from 1 July 2011. Adjusting for the impact of these changes in the consolidation perimeter, depreciation and amortization costs would have decreased by Euro 49 million in the six months period ended 30 June 2012, as a result of lower contributions from: (1) the operating segment Telecommunications in Portugal (Euro 16 million), mainly due to the swap of TMNs 2G equipment to 4G/LTE enabled equipment, following which Portugal Telecom accelerated the depreciation of 2G equipments in the first half of 2011 up to 30 June 2011; and (2) Oi (Euro 39 million), including the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 14 million).
As at 30 June 2012, excluding the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax, the Group assumed commitments for the acquisition of fixed assets and inventories amounting to Euro 90 million and Euro 64 million, respectively.
13. Debt
As at 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2011, Portugal Telecoms gross debt amounted respectively to Euro 10,789,811,897 and Euro 12,280,958,636, as follows:

During the six months period ended 30 June 2012, the reduction of Euro 1,491 million in gross debt relates primarily to the following:
· The repayment of the Euro 1,300 million Eurobond issued by PT Finance in March 2005; and
· A decrease of Euro 94 million in the gross debt of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders, from Euro 3,882 million as at 31 December 2011 to Euro 3,787 million as at 30 June 2012, reflecting primarily the impact of the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro (Euro 252 million). Using a constant exchange rate, the gross debt of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders would have increased by Euro 157 million, reflecting primarily: (1) senior notes amounting to US$ 1,500 million issued by Oi, S.A. in February 2012, equivalent to R$ 2,589 million (Euro 322 million proportionally consolidated), which mature in February 2022; (2) debentures amounting to R$ 2,000 million issued by Oi, S.A. in March 2012 (Euro 212 million proportionally consolidated), including R$ 400 million with a maturity of 5 years and bearing interest at the CDI interest rate plus a spread of 0.94% and R$ 1,600 million with an average maturity of 7.5 years and bearing interest at the IPCA rate plus a spread of 6.20%; (3) the repayment of debentures totalling R$ 1,500 million issued by TNL in May 2011 (Euro 159 million proportionally consolidated); (4) the repayment of the debentures amounting to R$ 720 million issued by Brasil Telecom in June 2006 (Euro 76 million proportionally consolidated); and (5) repayments of several other financings entered into in previous years by the Oi Group, in accordance with the established repayment schedule.
Except for the above mentioned, during the six months period ended 30 June 2012, Portugal Telecom (a) did not issue any new bonds or exchangeable bonds, (b) has not repaid any bonds outstanding as at 31 December 2011 and (c) did not obtain any other significant new facilities or issued relevant amounts of notes. Additionally, the repayments of debt were made in line with repayment terms disclosed in the last annual report.
In June 2012, Portugal Telecom concluded the renegotiation of its largest credit facility having extended its maturity from March 2014 to July 2016, while its amount was changed from Euro 1,200 million to Euro 800 million.
On 27 June 2012, Portugal Telecom disclosed that its Board of Directors approved the launch of a Public Bond Subscription Offering in the Portuguese market for the general public, under the 7,500,000,000 Euro Medium Term Note Programme. The subscription period ended on 20 July 2012 and the settlement will take place on 26 July 2012. The offer size is Euro 400 million, amount that was entirely subscribed. These bonds have a four-year term and receive interest at a fixed rate of 6.25% per year, to be paid semiannually.
Excluding the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi, Contax and its controlling shareholders, the undrawn amount of Portugal Telecoms committed commercial paper lines and standby facilities plus the amount of cash and the Euro 400 million bond issued in July 2012, as mentioned above, totalled Euro 3,016 million.
Following the revision of the Portuguese sovereign rating to BB, on 21 January 2012 Standard & Poors reviewed the credit rating attributed to Portugal Telecom, downgrading the long-term rating from BBB- to BB+, with negative outlook, and the short-term rating from A-3 to B. On 13 April 2012, Moodys reviewed the credit rating attributed to Portugal Telecom, downgrading the long-term rating from Ba1 to Ba2, with negative outlook.
14. Statement of cash flows
(a) Cash flows from operating activities - Following the acquisition of the investments in Oi and Contax, completed on 28 March 2011, Portugal Telecom proportionally consolidated the cash flows from these jointly controlled entities only as from 1 April 2011, which explains the increases in cash receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and employees and payments of indirect taxes.
(b) Payments relating to income taxes Payments relating to income taxes amounted to Euro 76 million and Euro 78 million in the six month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, reflecting primarily the following effects: (1) withholding taxes paid by Bratel Brasil and PT Móveis in the first quarter of 2011 (Euro 20 million), resulting from the interest income obtained from the financial applications related to the proceeds from the disposal of Vivo; (2) lower payments at Portuguese operations reflecting mainly a cash receipt in the first quarter of 2012 regarding a tax benefit; and (3) a higher contribution from Oi and Contax (Euro 30 million), reflecting primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation in the first quarter of 2012 (Euro 24 million).
(c) Payments relating to indirect taxes and other - This caption includes primarily payments related to the expenses recorded in the caption Indirect taxes of the Consolidated Income Statement, and also payments and collections of Value-Added Tax in Portugal. The increase of Euro 390 million in this caption reflects primarily the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in the first quarter of 2012 (Euro 439 million).
(d) Short-term financial applications - These captions include basically cash payments from new short-term financial applications entered into and cash receipts from the short-term applications matured. Net cash receipts amounted to Euro 211,484,159 in the six months period ended 30 June 2012, as compared to net cash payments of Euro 108,051,118 in the six months period ended 30 June 2011.
(e) Cash receipts resulting from financial investments In the six months period ended 30 June 2011, this caption includes basically the proceeds from the disposal of the investment in UOL, amounting to Euro 155.5 million (Note 5).
(f) Cash receipts (payments) resulting from interest and related income (expenses) Cash payments resulting from interest and related expenses net of cash receipts resulting from interest and related income amounted to Euro 289,700,812 and Euro 170,030,921 in the six month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, respectively. This increase relates primarily to the impact of the proportional consolidation of Oi and Contax in the first quarter of 2012 and the interest income received during the first quarter of 2011 on financial applications related to the proceeds received from the disposal of Vivo.
(g) Cash receipts resulting from dividends During the six month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, cash receipts resulting from dividends were as follows:

During the six month periods ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, fixed remunerations of board members, which were established by the Remunerations Committee, amounted to Euro 2.84 million and Euro 2.52 million, respectively, an increase explained primarily by the change in the Executive Committee from 5 to 7 executive board members in April 2011.

In addition to the above mentioned remunerations, executive board members are entitled to fringe benefits primarily utilized in their daily functions, in connection with a policy defined for the Group.

(1) Following PTs strategic investment in Oi and Contax on 28 March 2011, PT proportionally consolidated the net income and cash-flows of these investments as from 1 April 2011. (2) Operating costs = wages and salaries + direct costs + commercial costs + other operating costs. (3) EBITDA = income from operations + post retirement benefits + depreciation and amortisation. (4) Income from operations = income before financials and income taxes + curtailment costs + losses (gains) on disposal of fixed assets + net other costs (gains). (5) This caption excludes the cash out-flow related to the investments in Oi and Contax (Euro 3,728 million in 1Q11). (6) Net debt was adjusted for the tax effect on pension debt due to the Portuguese State, including Euro 113 million related to the 2011 contribution which was accounted for as tax losses carried forward. In 2Q11 and 1S11, net debt was adjusted for the receivable by Telefónica, amounting to Euro 2 billion, paid in October 2011. (7) EBITDA margin = EBITDA / operating revenues. (8) Earnings per share computed using net income excluding the costs associated with the convertible bonds divided by the diluted number of shares.
