MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
Dear Shareholders,
2015 was especially demanding due to the difficult conditions of the world economy and, in particular, in the construction sector, but
was also quite positive for Martifer, which was able to increase its turnover comparing with the previous year in around 17 %, a
significant recovery in the operational performance, with a positive EBITDA of around 11.4 million euros and a positive net profit for
the period of 1.2 million euros (including non-controlling interests).
We were also able to achieve the main goals in the execution of the 2015 Action Plan, namely the conclusion of the financial
restructuring process, the improvement of processes and operational efficiency and the reorganization of the international presence.
We carried on with the sale of non-core assets, having materialized the sale of real estate assets in Portugal and in Poland and the
process of sale of the construction sector in Brazil.
The conclusion of the financial restructuring, with the agreement reached with the main financial institutions allowed us, among
other goals, to significantly reduce the financing cost and to increase the average maturity of the debt (to around eight years), as
well as to reinforce the permanent capital structure.
In the metallic constructions area:
 We reinforced the operational capacity in West Sea (the naval shipyard in Viana do Castelo);
 We advanced towards an ownership structure simplification through the merger of several companies.
In the Renewables area:
 We concluded the sale of the Gizalki wind farm, in Poland, to Ikea Group.
Following the steps taken in 2014 and 2015, in 2016 we will continue focused on the main goals defined in the Group’s strategy:
 Reinforcement of the international presence;
 Focus on the metallic constructions’, the naval industry’s and the renewables’ (through asset rotation) core businesses;
 Consolidation of the adopted organizational model, keeping the focus on:




Resizing and readapting the structure, aligning it with the reinforcement of the international presence;
Improvement of the business processes and operational efficiency;
Development and retention of human resources;
Optimization of the industrial footprint and adjustment of production layouts;
 Improvement of the Group’s financial situation:



Divestment in non-core businesses and sale of real estate assets;
Reduction of cash costs, through a program for the optimization of the cost structure and the working capital;
Gradual decrease of the net debt and the debt/EBITDA ratio.
th
We would also like to highlight that in 2015 Martifer celebrated its 25 anniversary, a milestone that makes us proud, especially its
founders.
Lastly, we would like to thank our employees and co-workers for their commitment and on whom we continue to count on to achieve
the defined goals, and all our stakeholders for their support and trust.

ACTIVITY
Martifer began its activity in 1990 in the steel structures sector. Since 2014, as a consequence of the strategic focus of the
business, Martifer has concentrated its operations in the metallic constructions sector.
The Group’ holding, Martifer, SGPS, S.A., also develops other activities and manages financial participations, namely in the
renewables segment, through the promotion and development of wind farms, and in the solar segment, through the 55 % financial
participation in Martifer Solar, considered an asset held for sale since September 2014.
HOLDING
Martifer SGPS, S.A. is the holding company of the Group. With the changes in the governance model implemented in 2012, Martifer
SGPS, S.A. positions itself as a financial holding, establishing and defining rules and policies for the Group and monitoring the
activity of the business areas, which were given a greater degree of independence and power.
The business areas act independently, although they follow the strategic guidelines defined at the holding level, having the annual
budgets and business plans approved by Martifer SGPS, S.A.’s executive board members.
METALLIC CONSTRUCTIONS
Martifer Metallic Constructions, SGPS, S.A., subholding for the Metallic Constructions business segment 75 % owned by Martifer,
SGPS, S.A. is a player with global recognition in the sector. The company (and its subsidiaries) is focused on three major
geographic areas: Europe and the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, and has industrial units that allow it, from those areas, to
build the most complex projects in diversified places such as Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, Djelfa in Algeria, or Lyon in France. Its
industrial units are located in Portugal, in Romania, in Angola, in Mozambique (in partnership) and in Algeria (in partnership).
This business area bases its development strategy on the differentiation of its engineering quality and its vocation for complex projects.
Martifer Metallic Constructions aims to follow a directed strategy, by partnering with companies from complementary segments, which
will allow it not only to offer more complete solutions, but also to gain a greater dimension, especially on the international stage.
It provides global and innovative engineering solutions, namely in the metal mechanical constructions, aluminium and glass
façades, infrastructures for oil & gas and naval industry (via its subsidiaries Navalria and West Sea) segments.
This industrial and commercial activity has a production capacity that allows it to complete projects in several continents and it
employed 1,674 people at the end of 2015.
RENEWABLES
Martifer Renewables, SGPS, S.A., sub holding for the Renewables business sector 100 % owned by Martifer, SGPS, S.A., acts as
a developer of renewable energy, mainly in wind and PV power projects. More than accumulating power in operation, Martifer
Renewables’ strategy is focused on the rigorous use of capital in the development and construction of projects, having implemented
an asset rotation policy in projects under development, construction management, asset management and operation and
maintenance (O&M).
This business area, which had 39 employees at the end of the year, has a wide experience in the development and management of
wind farms and solar PV parks, being present in five countries: Portugal, Spain, Romania, Poland and Brazil. Owning, in total or in
partnership, a portfolio of over 100 MW in operation, Martifer Renewables has already developed and built more than 700 MW in
14
02
different countries, having had as partners, in the latest projects that were sold, relevant companies such as IKEA in Poland and
Banco Santander, CPFL and Tractelbel in Brazil.
In 2015, Martifer Renewables sold the Gizalki project (36 MW) in Poland and agreed to the sale of the Assú (90 MW) and Floresta
(80 MW) projects in Brazil. In Portugal, through its associated Ventinveste, it agreed to the sale of 216 MW to EDP and started,
through the partnership created between Ventinveste and the Ferrostaal Group, the construction of 171.6 MW of wind farms.
SOLAR
Martifer Solar, S.A., 55 % owned by the Martifer Group, currently plays a leading role in the photovoltaic industry because of its
ability to adapt to a fast-moving industry and its proved track record underpinned by cutting-edge technology, advanced technical
qualifications and a skilled and motivated team.
The area’s main activities are project development, installation of EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) projects,
specialized O&M services and distribution via its subsidiary MPrime.
Martifer Solar covers all market segments: ground mounted, rooftop, BIPV, small generation and off-grid solutions.
Operating since 2006, it continues to expand internationally by initiating activity in new countries, being currently present in more
than 20 countries throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, North America and South America. Martifer Solar has
participated in the implementation of more than 670 MW of PV energy worldwide.
The area employed 267 people at end of 2015.
In September 2014, the Group started to classify the solar business unit (Martifer Solar, SA and its subsidiaries) as a non current
asset held for sale. This change resulted from the fact that Martifer SGPS is presently putting into action its plan to sell its economic
interest (currently 55 %) in Martifer Solar.
In summary, the group is currently organized as follows:
METAL MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
DEVELOPMENT OF WIND POWER ASSETS
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
ALUMINIUM AND GLASS
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
EPC
INFRASTRUCTURES FOR OIL & GAS
TECHNICAL AND OPERATION

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
GLOBAL ECONOMY
Economic Growth
The projections for global growth aim for a growth in 2016 lesser
than in 2015. In fact, several factors condition the evolution of
global economies. Firstly, the important economic imbalances in
China, which as one of the greatest importing economies
worldwide, affects most economies, where it is visible a downturn
in activity, as a consequence of less investment and consumption.
Secondly, the drop in commodities’ prices, especially energy and
agriculture, affects the economic evolution of clearly exporting
countries (mostly emerging economies) opposed to importing ones
(generally developed economies). Lastly, the divergence in the
direction of monetary policies, on the one hand contractionary in
countries with sustained growth, such as the United States, and on
the other hand expansionist like in the Euro Area and in Japan,
22
02
where the macroeconomic context demands the interference of central banks, for example, in what concerns the goal for inflation –
in both cases, very low or near 0% inflation.
In conclusion, in 2016 all regions and groups of countries should grow; however, less than in 2015.
In fact, the Chinese economy is significantly connected, through the international trade, with the rest of the world. The slowdown in
the Chinese internal activity affects the rhythm of its exports to the rest of the world, as well as its domestic demand for goods and
services, both substantially interacting with the industrial and construction sectors.
The commodities’ prices had an important drop throughout 2015. In
fact, the energy sector registered a drop in prices of more than 30 %,
being the main factors the excess offer registered in the market
which, despite the low prices, did not lead to the expected drop in
production. Adding to this is also the Iranian offer in the market, after
reaching an agreement with the six global powers (USA, Russia,
China, France, the United Kingdom and Germany). As for the
agriculture commodities, these were significantly affected by the
favourable climate conditions which benefited producion, drowning
the market with production surpluses and stocks. Lastly, the industrial
metals also registered in 2015 historically low prices.
In this context of low commodities’ prices, traditionally exporting
emerging economies registered important drops in their income since
they are very dependent on trade, in this case, of raw materials. In
contrast, advanced economies, still recovering from the 2007
financial crisis and traditionally importing, benefited from this
scenario, but not enough to compensate the slowdown registered in
emerging economies.
Advanced economies currently face an important challenge – to
reach the inflation goal. In fact, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan implemented strongly expansionist monetary
policies, injecting liquidity in the market in order to stimulate the economies. However, forecasts for inflation remain low and both
currencies have incentives in depreciation against the US Dollar. In turn, the United States grow at a sustained pace and apply
contractionist monetary policies. The divergence in monetary policies stimulates the appreciation of the US Dollar, in this case to
the detriment of the euro.
In summary:
1. Slowdown in the Chinese economic activity impacts global economy.
2. Widespread drop in commodities prices: energy, agriculture and metals.
3. Different impacts of the price drop in traditionally exporting economies vs importing economies.
4. Monetary policies carried out by the European Central Bank aiming to achieve the goal of 2 % inflation – strong liquidity injection
in the interbank market.
5. Reference interest rates for Europe were maintained historically low, as a stimulus to economy by the European Central Bank.
6. Recovery of the growth and employment in Portugal in 2015 and equally optimistic forecasts for 2016.

THE PULSE OF PORTUGAL
The forecasts for the Portuguese economy indicate an optimist path. In fact, after a 0.9 % growth in 2014, it is expected that in 2015
this growth increases to 1.7 % and to 1.9 % in 2016. These forecasts contemplate a significant increase in exports which, following
the trend of resource transfer for sectors exposed to international competition, will contribute, in turn, to the reduction of the
Portuguese external debt.
The increase in private domestic demand also contributes to the acceleration of the Portuguese growth; in fact, as families and
companies continue the deleverage process, they set income free to the sections of private consumption and investment, in this
case fixed capital formation.
According to the Bank of Portugal’s economic bulletin from December 2015, there are several indicators that show the good
Portuguese performance:
‒
Growth in domestic demand and an important slowdown of demand for imported contents;
‒
Increasingly robust contribution of exports for the GDP breakdown;
‒
Significant increase in employment at a moment of strongly contraccionist measures, with the unemployment rate going from
13.4 % to 11.9 % between 2014 and 2015, respectively in comparable periods;
‒
The reduction of indebtedness of the families in percentage of the disposable income, as well as a recovery in the consumption
of durable goods are also indicators of the readjustment in the Portuguese economy. The reduction of interest rates in the
market, reducing the families’ debt service, also contributes to this.
One can observe, in the Euro Area, low or near zero inflation rates, which intensify the deflation threat. In order to comply with the 2 %
inflation rate goal, the European Central Bank will have to apply additional measures – Quantitative Easing. As a consequence of the
important monetary injection, a depreciation of the Euro is forecasted, as well as the maintenance of substantially low reference
interest rates. Therefore, a relatively depreciated Euro may bring additional stimulus to the extra-communitary exports. The low interest
rates stimulate new financing and also benefit the existent financing, with the economic agents being able to dispose income for
consumption or investment.

Portugal started the route to recovery, however, the work needs to be kept in order to demonstrate the commitment and

INTRODUCTORY NOTE
In September 2014, the Group started to classify the solar business unit (consisting of Martifer Solar, SA and its subsidiaries) as a
non current asset held for sale. This change resulted from the fact that Martifer is presently putting into action its plan to sell its
economic interest (currently 55 %) in Martifer Solar.
Since the requirements of IFRS 5 are fulfilled, the contribution to Martifer’s consolidated results coming from this segment is presented
in an autonomous line in the Consolidated P&L. The contribution of assets and liabilities of the operational unit, classified as held for
st
sale, are also presented in separate lines from the Group’s remaining consolidated assets and liabilities on 31 December 2015.
The breakdown of these contributions is included in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2015, the Operating Revenues were 12 % higher than in 2014, reaching 253 million euros, of which 238 million euros in metallic
constructions and 14 million euros in renewables.
The Revenues in Renewables, 14 million euros, result from wind farms in operation.
Despite the almost 20 % increase compared to 2014, the revenues in metallic constructions continue to be penalized by the sharp
recession of the construction sector, especially in Europe, which the Group has been trying to counter via internationalization, clearly
turning to emerging countries, which presented themselves as the engine for construction worldwide.
As can be verified in the chart below, Portugal represents only 34 % of the total sales and services rendered, with the remaining 76 %
resulting from four different regions: the European Union (excluding Portugal) – 32 %, Angola – 15 %, Brazil – 9 % and Saudi Arabia – 9 %.

In 2015, the Group’s consolidated EBITDA reflects a significant increase, when compared to 2014, from 6 million euros to
11.4 million euros.
This rise results mainly from the increase of the EBITDA in Metallic Constructions, which at the end of 2015 reached 9.2 million
euros (positive), which compare with 7.3 million euros (negative) in 2014. This improvement is mainly due to the margin obtained in
ongoing projects. In the renewables segment, EBITDA reached 2.7 million euros with a 19 % margin versus a 52 % margin in the
same period of the previous year.
Depreciation & Amortization suffered a decrease in 2015, reaching 12 million euros versus 15 million euros in 2014. Provisions and
impairment losses for fixed assets registered -1.0 million euros (-2.5 million euros in provisions and 2.4 million euros in impairment
losses), which compare with 38.6 million euros in 2014 (36.6 million euros in provisions and 2 million euros in impairment losses for
fixed assets).
Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) reached -0.5 million euros, which compares with -47 million euros in 2014.
Net Financial Expenses totalled 3 million euros, comparing with -19 million euros in the previous year. The registered Net Interest
was -7 million euros, net foreign exchange was negative in 1 million euros and Other Net Financial Expenses reached 11 million
euros. The Financial Results were positively affected by the financial restructuring in December.
The Discontinued Operations’ Result (Solar) was -2.2 million euros, which compares with -66.7 million euros in 2014 and
represents a 97 % change. This significant improvement in the result is explained by the increase of revenues and their margin, as
well as by the fact that the 2014 period was affected by a set of non-current events that involved additional costs and high
provisions and impairment losses.
The Net Profit in 2015 was positive in 1.2 million euros, which compares with negative 137 million euros in 2014, with all the
segments contributing positively to this improvement.
Net Profit attributable to shareholders in 2015 was -0.5 million euros, which compares with -94 million euros in 2014.

Note: Net Debt = (Borrowings + Financial Leases (+/-) Derivatives – Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Group continues focused on the Net Debt reduction process, so it will continue to be committed in the process of selling non-core
assets: solar segment, wind farms and residually the sale of real estate projects throughout 2016, as defined in Martifer Group’s
restructuring plan.
The agreement signed between Martifer and the credit financial institutions also allowed the adequacy of inflows maturity of the
operational activity and investment (divestment) to the outflows of the financing activity through the rescheduling of the expiration
over time, increasing the average maturity of the debt to make it coincide with the permanence degree of its long term assets, and a
st
maturity that allows the cash surpluses to be sufficient to comply with its responsibilities. Therefore, on 31 December 2015, the
average debt maturity was of around eight years.
This extension of the average debt maturity allowed the adequacy of the capital reimbursement plan to the maturity of the
associated assets, not jeopardizing the commitments from the short term operational activity.
As a consequence of the signature of the restructuring agreements, the standardization of the debt’s amortization profile, the
significant reduction of the financing all-in costs, as well as the reinforcement of the permanent capital structure were also possible.

SECTOR TRENDS
 According to the analysis performed by Euroconstruct, published in December 2015, the sector is forecasted to
register a 3 % growth. A significant improvement in view of the previous forecasts, which expected a growth of only
2.4 %, reinforcing the idea that the situation is sustainably reversing, after seven years of intense recession in the
construction sector.
 The recovery is especially strong in the residential subsector, making evident the massive migratory flow to Europe,
which makes the need and demand for housing grow.
INTERNATIONAL OUTLOOK
 On the other hand, the non-residential sector also expects an optimistic scenario, with forecasted growth, however
less than the residential sector. Negative growth is forecasted in countries like Finland and Sweden.
38
 For the civil engineering subsector, a growth around 3.3 % is also expected in 2016, with highlight for the important
contribution of Eastern Europe, particularly Poland.

RE DEVELOPER
SECTOR TRENDS
 The global investment in renewable energy keeps a growing trend throughout the last decade, surpassing 329 billion
US Dollars in 2015, which also reflects the growing environmental concerns.
 Concerning the wind energy sector, the numbers on installed capacity are increasing every year. In fact, since 2014,
every year the record of installed capacity from the previous year has been broken. Although the 2015 figures are
not yet final, it is estimated they surpass 51.4 GW from 2014 and reach 60.0 GW. In 2016, this figure is expected to
be also surpassed.
41
04
 Currently, Asia dominates the wind energy market, having most of the worldwide installed capacity, with China
having 25 GW and a 250 GW target established for 2020. The United States state that it is their goal to supply 10 %
of their needs through wind energy until 2020. Europe stopped being the region that incremented more its installed
capacity yearly. It is expected to remain stable throughout 2016, while in 2015 it only added 2 GW, in Germany. The
reports indicate the United Kingdom as the country with the biggest potential. As for Latin America, both wind and
solar energy are growing at a significant pace. Sub-Saharan Africa has an estimated potential of 1,300 GW.
ACTIVITY
Martifer Renewables acts as a developer of renewable energy, mainly in wind and PV power projects. More than accumulating
power in operation, Martifer Renewables’ strategy is focused on the rigorous use of capital in the development and construction of
projects, having implemented an asset rotation policy in projects under development, a construction management, an asset
management and operation and maintenance (O&M).
This business area, which had 39 employees at the end of the year, has a vast experience in the development and management of
wind farms and solar PV parks, being present in five countries: Portugal, Spain, Romania, Poland and Brazil. Owning, in total or in
partnership, a portfolio of over 100 MW in operation, Martifer Renewables has already developed and built more than 700 MW in
different countries, having as partners in the latest projects sold relevant companies, such as IKEA in Poland and Banco Santander,
CPFL and Tractelbel in Brazil.
In 2015, Martifer Renewables sold the Gizalki project (36 MW) in Poland and agreed to the sale of the Assú (90 MW) and Floresta
(80 MW) projects in Brazil. In Portugal, through its associated Ventinveste, it agreed on the sale of 216 MW to EDP and it started
the construction of 171.6 MW of wind farms through the partnership created between Ventinveste and the Ferrostaal Group.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS’ RESULT (SOLAR)
As described in the introductory note in chapter 3 – Financial Performance, in September 2014, the Group started to classify the
solar business unit (consisting of Martifer Solar, SA and its subsidiaries) as a non-current asset held for sale. This change resulted
from the fact that Martifer is presently putting into action its plan to sell its economic interest (currently 55 %) in Martifer Solar.
Since the requirements of IFRS 5 are fulfilled, the contribution to Martifer’s consolidated results, coming from this segment, is presented
in an autonomous line in the Consolidated P&L, and the contribution of assets and liabilities of the operational unit classified as held for
st
sale are also presented in separate lines from the Group’s remaining consolidated assets and liabilities on 31 December 2015.

The backlog of turnkey (signed) contracts is 209 million euros and is spread throughout Europe, Asia and Africa.
The strategic positioning of the company is based on focusing on mature markets with a favourable regulatory framing and
emerging markets with good solar potential for the execution of on and off grid solutions. However, it is important to highlight that
the margins in the solar segment were reduced throughout the value chain, with significant cuts in government support and an
increase in the competition.
RESULTS
The Solar segment ended 2015 with a 2.2 million euros loss, with the contribution to Martifer Solar, S.A. (consolidated perspective
in this holding) reaching -3.2 million euros.

The Revenues in 2015 increased by 20 % when compared to 2014, totalling 142.6 million euros, mainly justified by a 27 MW EPC
project under construction in Jordan and by the final stage of construction of projects in the United Kingdom.
The EBITDA at the end of 2015 was 3.6 million euros (around -27 million euros in 2014), with a 2.5 % margin vs. -23 % YoY,
showing an improvement in the operational performance of the Solar segment, as opposed to the losses registered in 2014. On the

The Net Financial Expenses in 2015 reached 6.5 million euros (in 2014, 8.3 million euros), registering an improvement YoY. The
Net Profit was -2.2 million euros (-3.2 million euros attributable to Martifer Solar, S.A.).
The Capex registered in 2014 was around 0.9 million euros, explained mainly by the investment made in Portugal (Martifer Solar
S.A., with 750 thousand euros), in Chile and in Jordan.
st
The Net Debt registered on 31 December 2015 was 49 million euros, 9 million euros less than in 2014, which shows the effort to
control it, in line with the Group’s current strategy.

05 | INDIVIDUAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
During 2015, the level of services that Martifer SGPS, S.A. (the Group’s holding) provided to other Group companies was similar to
the one in 2014 and 2013, when a great part of the services that had been previously provided by the company have been
transferred to the business areas, following the strategy of allocating greater autonomy to the business areas, with consequent
greater decentralization and accountability.
The Net Profit of Martifer, SGPS, S.A. was positive amounting to 1.4 million euros, comparing to a negative Net Profit of 121.6
million euros in the previous year.
The most significant impacts in Net Profit were the reversal of impairments on financial investments (positive net balance of 12
million euros) and losses from subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.

07 | FUTURE PROSPECTS
In 2016 we will continue to implement the defined strategy, maintaining the focus on the main strategic goals, having as the main
purpose the improvement in profitability and the consequent turnaround for the Group. We will seek:
 to reinforce the international presence, with focus on core geographies and attractive opportunities in markets profitable above
average;
 to reinforce the order book in the Naval and Aluminium areas and the asset rotation strategy in the Renewables segment;
 to reduce indebtedness through the divestment in non-core businesses and through the sale of non-core assets;
 to resize and adequate the structure in all geographies where we are present:
 to improve processes and operational efficiency.
For 2016, due to the estimates of low growth or even economic recession in countries worldwide, we forecast a difficult and
challenging year, but we believe that the defined strategy will allow us to overcome the difficulties and reach an improvement in the
Group’s profitability.

08 | MAIN RISKS
FINANCIAL RISKS
A) PRICE RISK
The volatility of the prices of raw material constitutes a risk for the Group, both in metallic constructions and in the solar sector. The
antidumping measures / charges that the European Union decided to implement on steel and aluminium products with origin in China
brought a great uncertainty regarding price, which will affect the operational activity of the metallic constructions business area. In
what concerns the market trend on solar panel prices, they kept constant; however, their variation may also influence the solar
activity. Martifer has sought to mitigate this risk the same way in both areas, by including clauses in the contracts with customers that
allow it to pass on raw material price fluctuations and by negotiating fixed prices for large scale projects with its suppliers.
B) CURRENCY RISK
Currency risk has a strong correlation with other risk types, with highlight to its relation with the countries’ risk, through the evolution
of economies and their impact on inflation and on interest rates, and with credit risk, via currency fluctuations that may jeopardize
future financial flows, reflecting the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates
between different currencies.
The Group’s internationalization forces it to be exposed to a currency risk in different countries.
Exposure to the currency risk results mainly from operational activities (in which expenses, income, assets and liabilities are
expressed in a currency other than the reporting currency of the Group), from transactions between these subsidiaries and other
Group companies and from the existence of transactions with external parties made by the operational companies in a currency
other than the reporting currency of the Group.
The Group’s currency risk management policy aims to reduce the sensitivity of its results in exchange rate variations.
Subsidiaries, in their day-to-day operational activities, seek to use their local currency. Likewise, loans contracted by foreign
subsidiaries are preferably denominated in their local currency.
In what regards exchange rates’ hedging, hedges are sporadic as their cost is sometimes considered excessive in relation to the
risk level involved. However, whenever considered suitable, the Group contracts exchange rates hedging in order to cover the risk.
During 2015, as a result of the severe economic and financial crisis Angola faced, explained in large part by the significant drop in
oil prices, there was a huge shortage of tradable currency in the Angolan market, causing limitations in the financial flows coming
from this country.
The Group has been trying to mitigate this risk through financial instruments presented by its clients (e. g. letters of credit) in order
to maintain the regular financial flow.
C) INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges on loans contracted due to the evolution of the market
interest rate levels.
The cost of financial debt contracted by the Group is indexed to short term base rates, reviewed yearly or less, plus a negotiated
risk premium. Therefore, variations in interest rates may affect the Group’s results.
56
08
The Group’s exposure to interest rates is related to financial liabilities contracted with a fixed and / or floating rate. In the first case,
the Group faces a risk of fair value variation in these assets or liabilities, since every change in market rates involves an opportunity
cost. In the second case, such change has a direct impact on interest value, consequently causing cash variations.
In more significant medium and long-term loans and whenever it considers it appropriate the Group relies, when it considers it
appropriate, on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to hedge exposure to interest rate risk them. The amounts,
interest due dates and repayment schedules of the loans underlying the interest rate derivatives are identical to those of the loans
they hedge, and so being they are considered perfect hedges.
During 2015, the reference interest rates in the euro area remained at very low levels, even reaching negative values at the end of
the year. According to the European Central Bank’s projections published on March 2016 (“March 2016 ECB staff macroeconomic
projections for the euro area”), rates should remain at very low levels during 2016 and 2017, with a modest growth expected for
2018.
th
On 17 December 2015, Martifer signed the debt restructuring agreements with the banks, which involved the renegotiation of risk
premium rates (spread) to very competitive values, allowing a lower exposure to interest rate risk. This change in the bank financing
st
pricing took effect as of 1 January 2015. This factor, together with the expected stability in the reference rates contribute to
Martifer’s current low exposure to interest rate risk.
D) LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk reflects the Group’s ability to satisfy its financial responsibilities with the financial resources available.
The main goal of the liquidity risk management program is to ensure that the Group has available, whenever needed, the financial
resources to satisfy its responsibilities and pursue the outlined strategies, honouring all its obligations towards third parties, through
an adequate management of the financing cost / maturity ratio.
As mentioned above, at the end of 2015 the Group restructured its debt with financial institutions, through the rescheduling of bank
financing repayments over time, increasing the debt maturity in order to make it coincide with the long term assets’ continuity and at
the same time to allow the cash surpluses to be sufficient to comply with its responsibilities.
Therefore, and taking in mind the medium / long term features of the investments made, the debt service accompanies the maturity
of the associated assets, not jeopardizing the commitments from its short-term operational activity in the pursuit of the Group’s goal
to adequate the inflows maturity of the operational activity and investment (divestment) to the outflows of the financing activity.
st
As a concequence of the previously mentioned measures, it is verifiable that on 31 December 2015, the Current Assets largely
surpass the Current Liabilities. Therefore, the liquidity risk is quite reduced, due to Martifer’s capacity to transform its short-term
assents into liquidity.
The financial direction accompanies the implementation of the risk management policies defined by the board, in order to ensure
that the economic and financial risks are identified, measured and managed according to those policies.
E) CREDIT RISK
The worsening of the worldwide economic conditions or the adversities affecting local, national and international economies can
influence Martifer Group’s clients’ default rate, with possible negative impacts on the Group’s results.
The Group undergoes credit risk in its operational activity Trade Receivables and Other Receivables.
Aware of this reality, the Group tries to assess all its clients’ credit risk in order to establish credit limits, with the ultimate purpose of
ensuring the collection of the due amounts within the negotiated periods.
 MAIN RISKS 
57
08
With this objective in mind, the Group uses credit rating agencies, regular risk analysis and credit control and collects from and
manages cases in litigation, procedures which are all considered essential to manage the credit conceeded and to minimize the risk
of credit default.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
A) METALLIC CONSTRUCTIONS
Operational risks in the Metallic Constructions area, which also incorporated the energy equipment area as of 2011, are currently
divided into three risk sources – clients, suppliers and external risks, which in turn are sub-divided into specific problems.
Regarding the client risk one can identify, for example, issues at the contractual level, such as the lack of convergence in the
interpretation and application of the contractual dispositions, the distaste or dissatisfaction with the service / product and also the
risk of non-payment of the price stipulated following the delivery of the projects.
In terms of demand volatility, it is important to note that the business area partly depends on the launch of public tenders for public
infrastructures (e.g. bridges, airports, train stations). Within the scope of public tenders, Martifer is subject to complex regulatory
demands, specific to each country, namely in matters concerning the presentation of the proposals and the preparation of complex
administrative documentation files to satisfy the project’s specifications defined by the contracting entity. This may represent
additional costs for Martifer Group. It must be highlighted that, despite the dependence on public tenders, Martifer has been able to
win deals not subject to public tenders, thereby reducing its exposure to this risk.
Under the supplier risk, Martifer Construções as a specialist in engineering projects very often relies on subcontractors. If these fail
in the execution of their work, the project’s delivery deadline cannot be met, in a domino effect. In other words, there is also a risk of
delays in delivering the projects, with the inherent contractual penalties.
Finally, in terms of external risks and considering that the area of Metallic Constructions is strongly correlated with economic growth
and with gross fixed capital formation, it is therefore sensitive to the current economic environment. Accordingly, the worsening of
the sovereign debt crisis in Europe also raises other problems, namely the austerity plans that imply severe transversal cuts in
public investment and the significant decrease in liquidity throughout the financial system, which often causes highly attractive
projects to be shelved due to lack of capital.
In order to mitigate these risks, the Metallic Constructions area diversified its projects in different geographies, namely by entering
markets that register stronger growth in the construction sector, such as Angola and Algeria, or even by ‘visiting countries’ such as Saudi
Arabia, which will allow to compensate both the effects of economic recession in Portugal and the economic slowdown in Europe.
B) SOLAR
In the turnkey park installation activity, end-client delays in obtaining the necessary licences or unanticipated delays in the delivery
of equipment may disrupt the initially foreseen schedule for the completion of the respective projects. Despite the fact that this type
of delay usually carries no contractual penalties, in some cases this situation can constitute a risk for the Group given the planning
difficulties it can represent.
Additionally, the financial market crisis has been hampering the promoters’ access to funding, resulting in the postponement of
some projects. The diversification of the business throughout the value chain and the diversified client portfolio inside and outside
the Group that is currently being adopted shall reduce the possible impact of this situation.
The solar photovoltaic modules produced by the company are traded with a 5-year warranty and a 25-year performance warranty.
As a result, this sector is exposed to the risk of warranty claims many years after the sale of the equipment. Accordingly, any quality
or performance problems that may occur can result in high costs. The performance of solar systems is also guaranteed in terms of
the modules acquired for the construction of solar parks; however, the Group’s responsibility, in this case, is diminished since there
is a right of recourse vis-à-vis the suppliers.
58
08
Additionally, most of the equipment used in the production of solar photovoltaic modules is customized with specific raw materials,
with a resulting dependency risk on key raw material suppliers. The Group has sought to mitigate this risk by establishing long-term
contracts for some raw-materials, carefully selecting suppliers and working towards bringing together a diversification of suppliers
for each of the relevant raw-materials.
C) RENEWABLES
The productivity indices associated with the renewable energy business depend not only on the operational costs, but also on its
revenues (price and volume of energy produced by the assets). The equipment usage and other exogenous factors, such as the
wind that, in turn, depends on the farm location, influence the energy production and consequently its results. Whenever the wind
speed is below or above the equipment limits, no energy is produced. These limits vary according to the manufacturer and the type
of turbine. Additionally, each turbine has a power curve that determines the generated power of each wind speed.
The readiness and power curve of each turbine is contractually guaranteed, with indemnities being payable by the suppliers for
situations where their readiness is not satisfied or the power curve is not attained.
This risk is also mitigated through the geographical distribution of the wind turbines in the wind farms, allowing the set-off of wind
velocity variations on each farm and ensuring the relative stability of the volume of the total produced energy.
Regarding solar photovoltaic energy, the exogenous factors are more easily forecasted and therefore the revenues variation is
minimized.
LICENCING:
Wind farms and solar parks are subject to rigorous regulations in matters such as their development, construction, licensing and
operation. If the relevant authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates stop or reduce their support in the development
of wind farms and solar parks, such actions may have a significant impact on the activity.
LEGAL RISKS
Martifer is subject to the national and local laws and regulations in the various geographies and markets where it operates. These
aim to ensure, among other, labour rights, environment protection, spatial planning and the maintenance of an open and
competitive market. Thus, the legal and regulatory changes that affect the conditions conducive to the development of the Groups’
activities and that consequently harm or impede the attainment of the strategic objectives require the Company to adapt to the new
regulatory realities.
The management of legal risk is carried out by the legal department of the holding company and of each of the Group’s Business
Areas and is monitored within the scope of reviews performed by internal legal and fiscal service providers dedicated to the
respective activities, which operate in the dependence of the Board of Directors and Management, conducting their work in
articulation with the other fiscal and financial departments, so as to ensure the protection of the Company’s interests and ultimately
those of the stakeholders, in strict compliance with their legal duties.
The members of the legal departments and internal advisory service providers referred to above have specialized formal
qualifications and undergo regular formal training and updating.
Legal and fiscal advisory services are also ensured, nationally and internationally by external professionals, selected amongst
reputable firms and in accordance with the highest standards of competence, ethics and experience.

Note: In September 2014, the Group started to classify the solar business unit (composed by Martifer Solar, SA and its subsidiaries) as a non-current asset held for sale.
Since the requirements of IFRS 5 were fulfilled, the contribution to Martifer’s consolidated results coming from this segment is presented in an autonomous line in the
Consolidated Income Statement. The breakdown of these contributions is included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 28).
The accompanying notes are part of these financial statements.

12 | NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Martifer SGPS, S.A., with its registered head-office at Zona Industrial, town of Oliveira de Frades, in Portugal (‘Martifer SGPS’ or
‘Company’), and its group of companies (all denominated ‘Group’), have as their main activities metallic constructions (steel
structures, aluminium and glass façades, infrastructures for oil & gas and naval industry) and the promotion and development of
renewable energy projects (Note 3).
th
Martifer SGPS was incorporated on 29 October 2004, having its share capital been realized through the delivery of market valued
shares that the shareholders held in Martifer Construções, S.A., a company that was incorporated in 1990 and which at that time
was the holding company of the current Martifer Group.
As of the initial public offering in June 2007, the Martifer SGPS, S.A. shares have been listed on Euronext Lisbon.
In September 2014, Martifer SGPS’s Board of Directors decided, following the strategy to focus on the metallic construction area, to
sell its stake in Martifer Solar (composed by Martifer Solar S.A. and its subsidiaries, currently 55 % held by the Group). As the sale
is highly likely, and the requirements of IFRS 5 were fulfilled, Martifer Solar’s assets and liabilities were classified as “non-current
assets held for sale” and “liabilities associated to non current assets held for sale”, respectively, being Martifer Solar’s Net Profit
presented as “discontinued operations’ result” (Note 28).
st
On 31 December 2015, the Group was developing its activity mainly in Portugal, in Spain, in Slovakia, in Romania, in Poland, in
Angola, in Brazil, in Mozambique, in Ireland, in the Netherlands, in France, in Morocco, in the United Kingdom, in Saudi Arabia, in
Germany, in Malta and in Algeria.
All the amounts presented in these notes are expressed in euros (rounded to the unit), unless otherwise indicated.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARATION
These accompanying consolidated financial statements relate to the consolidated financial statements of Martifer Group and were
prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union, in force at
st
the beginning of the economic period started on 1 January 2015. These are the International Financial Reporting Standards that
were issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and whose interpretations were issued by the International
Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or by the previous Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) that have been
endorsed by the European Union.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and accounting records of the companies included in
the consolidation (Note 2) and have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for the revaluation of certain noncurrent assets and certain financial instruments, which are stated at fair value.
The accounting policies and mensuration criteria adopted by the Group in the 2015 financial period are consistent with those
applied in the financial statements of the previous financial period, presented for comparative purposes, except in respect of the
st
standards and interpretations entering into force on or after 1 January 2015, the adoption of which has not had a significant impact
on the Group’s comprehensive income or financial position.
78
12
Standards and changes to standards which were published but are only mandatory for annual periods that start on or after 1
February 2015, and that the Company decided not to adopt in advance:
st
EFFECTIVE DATE
Improvements in norms 2010 - 2012
01-02-2015
IAS 19 – Defined benefit plans
01-02-2015
IAS 16 and IAS 38 – Amortization / depreciation calculation methods
01-01-2016
IAS 27 – Separate financial statements
01-01-2016
IAS 16 and IAS 41 – Agriculture: Plants that produce consumable biological assets
01-01-2016
IFRS 11 – Joint agreements
01-01-2016
IAS 1 – Presentation of the financial statements
01-01-2016
Improvements in norms 2012 – 2014
01-01-2016
The improvements in norms 2010 - 2012 are the result of annual improvement projects implemented in the 2010 - 2012 cycle,
which affected the following standards: IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment, IFRS 3 – Business Combinations, IFRS 8 – Operating
Segments, IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment, IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures and
IAS 38 – Intangible Assets.
The change in the IAS 19 – Employee Benefits is applied to the contribution of employees or of third parties in defined benefit plans
and aims to simplify the accounting of contributions that are independent of the number of years of service.
The change in IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment and in IAS 38 – Intangible Assets clarifies that the use of depreciation
methods based on revenue are not appropriated since the revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset
usually reflects other factors besides the consumption of the economic benefits incorporated on the asset. Additionally, the change
also clarifies that the revenue is usually considered an inappropriate basis for measurement of the consumption of economic
benefits incorporated in an intangible asset.
The change in IAS 27 – Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements allows the use of the equity method in the accounting of
shares in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate companies, in the preparation of separate financial statements.
The change in IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment and in IAS 41 – Agriculture defines the concept of a plant that produces
consumable biological assets and transfers this type of assets from IAS 41 – Agriculture to IAS 16 – Property, Plant and Equipment, with
the consequent impact in its measurement. However, the biological assets produced by those plants are kept within IAS 41 – Agriculture.
The change in IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements adds new guidelines in the way of accounting the acquisition of a share in a joint
venture that constitutes a deal.
The change in IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements includes guidelines related with the materiality and aggregation, the
presentation of subtotals, the structure of the financial statements, the release of accounting policies and the presentation of the
items for other comprehensive income generated by investments measured by the equity method.
The improvements in norms 2012 – 2014 affect the following standards: IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
Operations, IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IAS 19 – Employee Benefits and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting.
The company estimates that the future adoption of these standards will not have a significant impact in its consolidated financial
statements.
st
Standards effective on or after 1 February 2015, not yet endorsed by the European Union
At present, the following standards, interpretations, changes and revisions have already been issued but have not yet been
endorsed by the European Union:
EFFECTIVE DATE
Changes in IFRS 10, 12 and IAS 28: application of the exemption of consolidation
01-01-2016
IFRS 9 – Financial instruments
01-01-2018
IFRS 14 – Regulatory deferral accounts
01-01-2016
IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers
01-01-2018
 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
79
12
The changes in standards IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 12 – Disclosure of interests in other entities and IAS
28 – Investment in Associates clarify that the exemption to the obligation of consolidation applies to an intermediate holding
company that constitutes a subsidiary of an investment entity. Additionally, the option to apply the equity method, according to IAS
28, is extendable to an entity that is not an investment entity, but that owns an interest in an associate or joint venture that is an
investment entity.
IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments replaces the requirements of IAS 39, regarding: (i) the classification and measurement of financial
assets and liabilities; (ii) the recognition of impairment on accounts receivable (through the expected loss model); and (iii) the
requirements for acknowledgment and classification of hedge accounting.
IFRS 14 – Regulatory Deferral Accounts allows entities that adopt the IFRS for the first time to continue to register the regulatory
assets and liabilities according to the policy followed within the previous standards. However, to allow comparability with the entities
that already adopt the IFRS and do not register regulatory assets or liabilities, the referred amounts must be disclosed separately in
the financial statements.
IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers is applied only to contracts for the delivery of products or provision of services
and demands that the entity registers the revenue when the contractual obligation of delivering assets or render services is fulfilled,
by the amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity is entitled, as provided in the “five steps methodology”.
The company estimates that the future adoption of these standards will not have a significant impact in its consolidated financial
statements.
st
Standards and changes effective as of 1 January 2015
EFFECTIVE DATE
01-01-2015
IFRIC 21 – Levies
17-06-2014
Regarding the improvements in norms 2011 - 2013, these changes are the result of annual improvement projects implemented in
the 2011 - 2013 cycle, which affected the following standards: IFRS 1 – First-time Adoption of the International Financial Reporting
Standards, IFRS 3 – Business Combinations, IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement and IAS 40 – Investment Property. IFRIC 21
(new) is an interpretation of IAS 37 and of the registry of liabilities and clarifies that the past event that results in a payment
obligation of a rate or tax (except Income Tax) corresponds to the activity described in the relevant regulation that forces the
payment.
st
The effect in the Group’s financial statements for the period ending on 31 December 2015, arising from the adoption of the
standards, interpretations, amendments and revisions referred above was not material.
st
The 1 January 2004 corresponds to the Group’s first period of application of the IAS/IFRS, in accordance with IFRS 1 – First-time
adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros since this is the main currency of the Group’s operations. The
financial statements of Group companies expressed in foreign currency were converted to euros in accordance with the accounting
policies described in Note 1 xiv).
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IAS/IFRS, the Group’s Board of Directors adopted
certain assumptions and estimates that can affect the assets and liabilities reported, as well as the profits and losses incurred in the
reporting periods (Note 1 xxvi). All the Board of Directors’ estimates and assumptions were made taking into consideration the best
knowledge and available available at the financial statements’ approval date and the information.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared for appreciation and approval at the annual Shareholder’s
th
General Meeting. The Board of Directors approved them for issuance on 6 April 2016 and believes that these will be approved
without any changes.
80
12
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The Group’s consolidation methods are as follows:
a) Group companies
Investments in the companies in which the Group owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50 % of the voting rights at the
Shareholder’s General Meetings and / or is able to establish the financial and operational policies (definition of control normally
used by the Group) are included in the consolidated financial statements using the full consolidation method.
The Equity and Net Profit attributable to minority shareholders are shown separately in the consolidated statement of financial
position (in the equity caption ‘non-controlling interests’) and in the consolidated income statement (included in the consolidated net
profit attributable to non-controlling interests) respectively. Companies included in the consolidated financial statements using the
full consolidation method are listed in Note 2.
st
In business combinations occurring after 1 January 2004, the assets and liabilities of each subsidiary (including contingent
liabilities) are measured at fair value on the date of acquisition as established in IFRS 3. Any excess / deficit of the cost of the
business combination over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired is recognized as
Goodwill or, when identified, added to the asset that originated such difference. Any excess of the Group’s share in the fair value of
the identifiable assets acquired over the cost of the business combination (Badwill) is recognized as income in the income
statement for the year, after the reassessment of the estimated fair value. Non-controlling interests include their proportion of the
fair value of net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities determined at the date of acquisition of the Group companies.
st
In business combinations occurring after 1 January 2011 (IFRS 3R), any excess of the cost of the business combination, of the fair
value of any investment held before the acquisition of control and of the value of non-controlling interests, over the fair value of
assets, liabilities and identifiable contingent liabilities is recognized as Goodwill. If the cost of the business combination, the fair
value of any investment held before the acquisition of control and the value of non-controlling interests, is lower than the fair value
of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in the income statement for the year. Transaction costs
arising in business combinations occurring after this date are recognized as an expense when incurred.
Transactions of disposal or acquisition of shares to / from non-controlling interests do not result in the recognition of gains, losses or
Goodwill and in any difference between the value of the transaction and the carrying value of the investment traded is recognized in equity.
The negative results generated in each period by subsidiaries with non-controlling interests are allocated, based on the percentage
held, to non-controlling interests, even if these become negative.
The non-controlling interests, recognized in business combinations, are measured at their respective proportion of the fair value of
identified net assets, transaction by transaction.
The results of the Group companies acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income statement as
of the date of their acquisition and up to the date of their disposal.
Adjustments to the financial statements of Group companies are carried out, whenever necessary, in order to adapt their
accounting policies to those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances and distributed dividends are eliminated in the
consolidation process. Whenever the Group has, in substance, control over other entities incorporated for a specific purpose, even if
st
no share capital interests are directly held in those entities, they are consolidated using the full consolidation method. On 31
December 2015, there are no entities in this situation.
b) Associate and jointly controlled companies
Investments in associate companies (companies in which the Group has significant influence but does not have control over the
financial and operational decisions - mainly investments representing between 20 % and 50 % of the company’s share capital) and
in jointly controlled companies (companies in which the Group shares control with other partners) are included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements in accordance with the equity method in the caption ‘Investments in associate companies and
joint arrangements’.
Under the equity method, investments are recorded at cost, adjusted by the amount corresponding to the share of changes in
equity and net profit of associate and jointly controlled companies and by the dividends received, net of impairment losses.
The assets and liabilities of each associate and jointly controlled company (including contingent liabilities) are identified at their fair
value on the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable assets
81
12
and liabilities of the associate companies is recognized at the date of acquisition as Goodwill. This Goodwill is included in the
carrying amount of the investment in associate companies and joint arrangements and analysed annually for recoverability as part
of the financial asset. Any excess of the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the
business combination (Badwill) after reassessment, is immediately recognized in the income statement.
An assessment of the investments in associate and jointly controlled companies is performed whenever there is evidence that the
asset might be impaired. Any impairment loss detected is recorded in the income statement.
When the Group’s share of losses exceeds the carrying amount of the investment, such investment is reported at nil value for as
long as the equity of the associate or jointly controlled company is negative, except when the Group has assumed commitments in
respect of the said associate or jointly controlled company (ies). In this case, a provision is recorded for those commitments.
The Group’s share of unrealized gains arising from transactions with associate and jointly controlled companies is eliminated.
Unrealized losses are eliminated, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment of the assets transferred.
Investments in associate and jointly controlled companies which are consolidated using the equity method are listed in Note 2.
MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The main accounting policies, judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements
for the periods presented are as follows:
i) Goodwill
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent
liabilities of subsidiaries, associate companies or jointly controlled companies at the date of acquisition, is recorded in the caption
‘Goodwill’ (in the case of investments in subsidiaries) or in the caption ‘Investments in associate companies and joint arrangements’
(in the case of investments in associate companies or jointly controlled companies).
st
Goodwill arising on acquisitions prior to the date of transition to IFRS (1 January 2004) or Goodwill arising from the constitution of
the Group is recorded at its net carrying amount, calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in
Portugal, and is subject, as of that date, to annual impairment tests.
Goodwill is not amortized but it is subject to impairment tests on an annual basis when its carrying amount is compared to its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses identified during the year are recorded in the income statement in the caption ‘Provisions
and impairment losses’. The recoverable amount is the highest between the fair value minus the cost to sell and minus the value in
use. The fair value minus the cost to sell is the amount that could be obtained in an arms-length transaction. The value in use is the
present value of the estimated future cash flows from the continuous use of such asset and from its sale at the end of its life-cycle.
The recoverable amount is estimated individually for each asset, or when this is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs.
ii) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount is to be recovered through a sale transaction rather than
through their continued use. Nevertheless, such classification requires that the sale be highly probable and that the asset (or
disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition. In addition, the Board of Directors must be committed to the
sale, which should occur in the short-term (normally, but not exclusively, within one year from the date of that classification).
Non-current assets (and disposal groups) classified as held for sale are measured at the lowest of their carrying amount and their
fair value minus cost to sell and are not amortised or depreciated during the period they are classified as held for sale.
iii) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired by the Group are stated at their acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets are only recognized if they are controlled by the Group and if their cost can be reliably measured.
Intangible assets comprise mainly software and other rights, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 3-year period, and
costs incurred obtaining licences to explore wind farms, which are depreciated in line with the granted license period (currently 20 years).
82
12
Costs incurred with the licensing of wind farms are recognized as intangible assets if, and only if, all of the following requirements
have been fulfilled:
- economic feasibility studies confirm that the wind farms will generate future economic benefits;
- the Group has the technical and financial capacity to install and explore those wind farms; and
- the expenditure attributable to the wind farms during the licencing phase can be reliably measured.
Expenditure on research and installation activities related with wind farms is recognized as an expense in the year in which it is incurred.
The remaining research expenses are recognized as costs in the year in which they are incurred.
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognized separately from Goodwill if their fair value can be
reliably measured. The cost of such intangible assets is the fair value on the acquisition date.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at cost minus accumulated
amortization and minus impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets acquired separately. These assets are
depreciated on a straight-line basis, usually during the period over which the economic benefits are expected to occur.
iv) Tangible assets
Tangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
The Group did not register provision for the dismantling of wind farms or solar parks, since it does not currently have any legal or
contractual obligation to dismantle these assets.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ life-cycle, and land is not subject to depreciation.
Tangible assets in progress are fixed assets still under construction / development and are recorded at their acquisition cost, net of
impairment losses. Those assets are depreciated as of the moment they become available for use with the quality and technical
conditions required to operate efficiently. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, over the expected useful life for each
class of tangible assets. The useful life is estimated taking into consideration the expected use of each class of tangible assets, as
well as their natural consumption and technical obsolescence.
The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated life-cycles:
Buildings
Equipment:
Basic equipment
Transportation equipment
Tools and dies
Office equipment
Other tangible assets:
Equipment installed in wind farms and solar parks
Other tangible assets
20 to 50 years
3 to 7 years
4 to 5 years
3 to 5 years
3 to 10 years
15 to 20 years
3 to 10 years
Maintenance and repair costs that neither increase the life-cycle nor create significant improvement in tangible assets are
recognized as costs in the year in which they occur.
v) Leasing
Leases are classified as (i) finance leases whenever the terms of the lease substantially transfer all the risks and rewards of
ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as (ii) operating leases.
A lease is classified as finance or operating depending on the substance of the transaction rather than on the form of the contract.
Fixed assets acquired under finance lease contracts and the related liabilities are recorded in accordance with the financial method.
Under this method the tangible assets, the corresponding accumulated depreciation (as defined in iii) and iv) above) and the
83
12
liabilities are recorded in accordance with the contracted financial plan. In addition, the interest included in lease payments and the
depreciation of the tangible assets are both recognized as expenses in the income statement of the year to which they relate.
Assets under long-term rental contracts are recorded in accordance with the operational lease method. In accordance with this
method, the rents paid are recognized as expenses over the rental period.
vi) Investment properties
An investment property is a property held to earn rentals and / or for capital appreciation and not for use in the course of current
operations.
Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to the initial recognition, investment
property is measured at fair value, and gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are included in the income statement
of the period in which they arise.
Costs incurred with investment property (maintenance, repair, insurance and property tax), as well as the related revenue and
rental income are included in the income statement of the period in which they arise.
vii) Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the Group’s statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group is a
contractual party to the instrument.
a) Financial instruments:
The Group classifies financial instruments in the following categories: ‘Financial investments at fair value through profit or loss’,
‘Borrowings and receivables’, ‘Held-to-maturity investments’ and ‘Available-for-sale investments’. The classification depends on
the intention inherent to the investment’s acquisition.
The classification is made at the initial recognition and re-appreciated on a quarterly basis.
 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: this category is divided into two: ‘financial assets classified as held for
trading’ and ‘financial assets designated by the Group at fair value through profit or loss’. A financial asset is classified under
this category, namely if it is acquired for the purpose of selling it in the short-term. Derivatives are also classified as
instruments held for trading, except if designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial instruments in this category are
classified as current if they are held for trading or if it is expected that they are going to be realized within twelve months of
the end of the reporting period;
 Held-to-maturity financial assets: this category includes financial assets, non-derivative, with fixed or variable
reimbursements with a fixed maturity, and which the Board of Directors intends to hold to maturity.
 Available-for-sale financial assets: these include financial assets, non-derivative, that are designated as available-for-sale
and those that are not classified as ‘borrowings and receivables’, ‘held-to-maturity investments’ or ‘financial assets at fair
value through profit or loss’. This category is classified as non-current, unless the Board of Directors intends to sell them
within 12 months from the end of the reporting period.
Held-to-maturity financial assets are classified as non-current, unless their maturity is less than a year from the end of the
reporting period. Financial assets designated by the Group at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current in the
statement of financial position.
All purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized on the trade date, this means on the date when the Group assumes
the risks and obligations inherent to the acquisition and disposal of the assets. These investments are initially measured at cost,
which is the fair value of the consideration paid for it, including transaction costs, with the exception of ‘Financial investments at
fair value through profit or loss’. In the latter, the financial assets are initially recognized at their fair value and the transactions
costs are recognized in the income statement. Financial investments are derecognized when the right or obligation to receive or
pay financial flows, respectively, has expired or has been transferred, and therefore, all the risks and benefits have been
transferred.
‘Available-for-sale financial assets’ and ‘Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ are subsequently measured and
recorded in the financial statements at fair value.
84
12
Gains and losses, realized or not, resulting from a change in the fair value of the ‘Financial investments at fair value through profit
or loss’ are recognized in the income statement of the year. Gains and losses resulting from a change in the fair value of
‘Available-for-sale assets’ are recognized directly in the statement of comprehensive income, under the caption ‘Fair value
reserves – Available-for-sale assets’ until the investment is sold, received or in any way alienated, at which moment the
accumulated gain or loss is recognized in the income statement.
The fair value of financial assets is based on current market prices. If the market on which the investments are traded is not active
(no quoted price exists), the Group establishes the instrument’s fair value using other valuation techniques such as recourse to
similar transactions, discounted cash flow analysis or the use of option pricing models to reflect the specific circumstances. The
fair value of listed investments is calculated using the closing price on Euronext Lisbon at the end of the reporting period.
To determine the fair value of a financial asset or liability when there is an active market, the market price is applied. This
constitutes level 1 of the hierarchy of fair value, as defined in IFRS 13 – Fair value: mensuration and disclosure.
If the market on which the investments are traded is not active, which is the case of some financial assets and liabilities, valuation
techniques generally accepted in the market, based on market assumptions, are used. This constitutes level 2 of the hierarchy of
fair value, as defined in IFRS 13.
The entity applies valuation techniques for unlisted financial instruments, such as derivatives, financial investments at fair value
through profit or loss and available-for-sale investments. The most frequently used valuation models are discounted cash flow
analysis and option valuation models which incorporate market information such as interest rate curves.
For some complex financial instruments, complex valuation models with assumptions and information that is not directly
observable in the market, and for which an entity applies internal estimates and assumptions, are used. This constitutes level 3 of
the hierarchy of fair value, as defined in IFRS 13. ‘Borrowings and receivables’ and ‘Held-to-maturity investments’ are recorded at
their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial assets are assessed, by the Group, for indicators of impairment at each reporting period. In the case of equity
instruments classified as available-for-sale, a significant decline or a prolonged decline in their fair value to amounts lower than
their acquisition cost, are indicators of impairment. For all other financial assets objective evidence of impairment could include:
 significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
 default or delinquency in interest or main payments; or
 it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial restructuring.
For financial assets carried at amortized cost, the amount of the impairment is the difference between the asset’s carrying amount
and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate.
The carrying amount of the financial assets is reduced directly by the impairment losses for all financial assets with the exception
of trade and other receivables, for which the carrying amount is reduced through the use of an allowance account. When a trade
or other receivable is considered uncollectable, it is written-off against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of amounts
previously written-off are credited in the income statement for the period. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance
account are recognized in the income statement in the caption ‘Accumulated impairment losses’.
With the exception of ‘Available-for-sale investments’, which correspond to capital instruments in another company, if in a subsequent
period the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the
impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through the income statement.
b) Trade receivable and other receivables
Trade and other debtors balances do not bear interest and are recorded at their nominal value minus any impairment losses,
recognized in the allowance account ’Accumulated impairment losses‘, in order to reflect their net realizable value.
c) Borrowings
Borrowings are recorded as liabilities at their nominal value, net of up-front fees and commissions related with the issuance of
these instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income
statement on an accruals basis.
d) Trade payables and other payables
Accounts payable that do not bear interest are recorded at their nominal value, which is substantially equivalent to their fair value.
85
12
e) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified and accounted for based on their contractual substance. The Group
classifies as equity instruments the contracts that evidence the Group’s residual interest in a group of assets after deducting all of
its liabilities. The Group classifies as financial liabilities all those that are expected to give rise to a disbursement of funds.
f) Derivatives
The Group uses derivative instruments to manage its exposure to financial risks. Derivative instruments are only used for hedge
accounting purposes, with the appropriate approval of the Group’s Board of Directors, and never for speculative purposes.
The derivative instruments used by the Group, classified as cash flows hedges, are exclusively related to the hedging of interest
rates and exchange rates on loans obtained. The loan’s amount, the interest’s maturity and the loan’s reimbursement plans
inherent to the hedging instrument are in all respects similar to the established conditions for the contractual loans, configuring
totally effective correlations.
The criteria used by the Group to classify the derivative instruments as cash flow hedges are as follows:




The hedge is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows attributable to the hedged risk;
Hedge effectiveness can be reliably measured;
There is adequate documentation on the transaction at the inception of the hedge;
The transaction to be hedged is highly probable.
Cash flow hedges are initially recorded at fair value, if any, and subsequently revaluated at their fair value. The effective portion of
the changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is deferred in the statement of
comprehensive income in the caption ‘Fair value reserves – Cash flow hedge derivatives’, being transferred to results in the same
periods the hedged instruments affect these. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are immediately recognized in
the income statement, when determined.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold. When a hedging instrument no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting, the accumulated gain or loss deferred in the statement of comprehensive income remains in equity and
subsequent revaluations of the derivative are recorded in the income statement.
g) Green certificates
Green certificates are instruments that approve the production of a certain volume of electricity from renewable energy sources.
In Romania, green certificates of two types were attributed to Martifer Renewables: certificates available for transaction (valid for a
12-month period since their emission date) and suspended green certificates (that can be traded from 2018 on).
At the date of the publication of the financial statements, there is no accounting standard or interpretation in the International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) that deals specifically with the accounting for emission permits or renewable energy certificates.
Upon receipt of the green certificates, the company recognizes an asset under “Available-for-sale investments” or under “Other
current financial assets” (depending on the type of certificate) as well as its corresponding “Deferred income”. The deferred income
is recorded in the income statement when the green certificates are sold. At the end of each period, the green certificates are
valued using their fair value, which corresponds to their market price on that date. The differences arising are recorded in the
income statement as “Other financial income” or as “Other financial expenses”. The value of the reversed certificates, for lack of
use before the expiration date, will be registered under “Other financial expenses”.
h) Notes receivable and factoring
The Group only derecognizes a financial asset when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial
asset expire; or it substantially transfers the contractual risks and rewards inherent to the possession of such financial asset to a
third party. If the Group substantially retains the risks and benefits inherent to the possession of such assets, it continues to recognizes
these in its financial statements, recording a liability in the caption ‘Borrowings’ as the monetary collateral for the assets transferred.
Therefore, notes receivable and factored accounts receivable are recorded at each reporting period as liabilities in the statement of the
financial position, with the exception of ‘non-recourse factoring’ operations, until the underlying assets are fully collected by the Group.
86
12
viii) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, term deposits and other treasury applications with a maturity of
less than three months, which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
ix) Inventories
Merchandise, subsidiary and consumable raw-materials are stated at the lowest of their average acquisition cost or net realizable
value (estimated sales price less cost to make the sale). Finished and intermediate goods are recorded at production cost (which
includes the cost of incorporated raw-materials, direct labour and overheads), which is lower than their market value.
Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement when it is estimated that the inventories’ net realizable value is lower
than its carrying amount (Note 10).
x) Accrual basis
Expenses and income are recorded in the year to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. The captions of
’Other non-current assets’, ‘Other current assets’, ‘Other non-current liabilities’ and ‘Other current liabilities’ include expenses and
income relating to the current period, whose payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in
the current period but which relate to future periods.
xi) Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Revenue is recorded net of returns, rebates and
similar allowances.
a) Construction contracts (metallic structure constructions and the construction of turnkey wind farms and solar parks)
The Group recognizes income and costs associated with construction contracts, on an individual basis, using the stage of
completion method. Under this method, at the end of each period, income and expenses are recognized with reference to the
stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion is determined based on the ratio between costs incurred to
the balance sheet date and the total estimated contract costs.
The difference between income determined applying this ratio and the total amount invoiced is recorded in ‘Other current assets’
as ‘Work in progress’ or in ‘Other current liabilities’ as ‘Advanced invoicing’.
Revenue arising on contract variations is recorded when these are agreed with the customer, or when negotiations are at an
advanced stage and it is probable that these will be favourable to the Group, and it can be reliably measured.
To cater for the costs that will be incurred during the guarantee period, the Group recognizes a provision, created on an annual
basis, to cover for such legal obligation. This provision is estimated taking into consideration the annual production as well as the
historical costs incurred in the past with this obligation.
Claims for reimbursement of expenditure not covered in the contract price are included in the contract revenue when negotiations with
the client are at an advanced stage and it is probable that these will be favourable to the Group and that they can be reliably measured.
When it is likely that the total estimated costs of the construction contract will exceed the revenue negotiated, the expected loss is
immediately recognized in the income statement.
b) Short-term construction contracts
In these types of contracts, the Group recognizes revenue and costs as they are billed or incurred, respectively.
c) Recognition of revenue resulting from real estate activity
Relevant costs incurred with real estate projects include the direct construction costs, the costs associated with the realization of the
projects as well as their licensing costs. Borrowing costs attributable to real estate projects are capitalized until the project is completed.
Borrowing costs are only capitalized if the project is in progress, i.e. if it is awaiting licenses from local authorities, or if it is under
construction. In all other cases, it is considered to be suspended and no capitalization of borrowing costs occur.
87
12
Revenue on these types of operations is generated and recognized when the contractual position held by the Group is
transferred, which, generally, coincides with the signing of the transfer deed.
d) Revenue recognition related with the sale of goods (merchandise and finished products)
Revenue from the sale of goods is only recognized when all the following conditions are met:
 the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
 the Group neither retains continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective
control over the goods sold;
 the amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
 it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will be handed to the entity; and
 the costs incurred or to be incurred related to the transaction can be reliably measured.
xii) Own worked capitalized
The internal costs (materials, staff and production costs) incurred during the production of tangible fixed assets are capitalized only
when the following requirements are fulfilled:
 the underlying assets are identifiable;
 there is strong probability that the assets will generate future economic benefits; and
 the production costs can be reliably measured.
xiii) Costs incurred with proposal preparation
Costs incurred with proposal preparation are recognized in the income statement as they are incurred due to the unpredictability of
their outcome.
xiv) Balances and transactions in foreign currency
Individual financial statements:
All the assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency, using the official exchange
rates at the reporting date. The exchange differences, favourable or unfavourable, originated by the differences between the
exchange rates on the transaction dates and those used at the collection, payment or in the reporting period, are recognized in their
gross amounts as profits and losses in the income statement of the period.
Consolidated financial statements:
Assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Euros using the exchange rates prevailing at the reporting
date in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Income and expense items, as well as cash flows, are translated at
the average exchange rates of the year. In addition, some medium-, long-term or undefined maturity loans granted to subsidiaries,
denominated in a currency other than the Euro are considered as part of the Group's net investment. Whenever exchange
differences arise, they are recorded in equity and recognized in the Group’s foreign currency translation reserve. Such exchange
rate differences are recognized in the income statement in the year in which the foreign entity is disposed.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
entity and therefore, are translated at the closing rate.

xv) Income tax
Income tax for the period includes the current and deferred income tax, in accordance with IAS 12. Current income tax is calculated
based on taxable profits and taking into consideration the local tax laws applicable to each Group company.
Deferred tax is recognized on timing differences arising between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax base used in the calculation of taxable profit, as well as on certain tax credits attributed to the
Group, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured and annually revalued at the tax rates expected to apply in the period in which the
liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantially enacted.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits
will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be used. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is
reviewed at each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be
available to allow for all or part of the asset to be recovered.
The deferred tax amount resulting from transactions or events recognized directly in equity is also registered directly in equity, not
affecting the income for the year.
xvi) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recorded in the income statement on an accrual basis.
Borrowing cost related to loans obtained to finance the construction of tangible fixed assets and some inventories (real estate projects)
are capitalized, forming part of the asset’s carrying amount. The capitalization begins when the preparation of the construction activity
starts and ceases when the asset enters into use, at the end of its production or construction or when the project is suspended.
89
12
xvii) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable
that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. These
provisions are reviewed at each reporting period and are adjusted to reflect the best estimate at the date, taking into consideration
all the risks and uncertainties inherent to such estimates. When a provision is determined using the future cash flows estimated to
settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
The provisions recognized by the Group result mainly from:
i)
Construction guarantees
The Group recognizes a provision for the costs estimated to be incurred in the future with construction guarantees provided on metallic
structures or farms (wind or solar) that were sold. This provision is recognized on the date of the sale or when the service is
rendered, thus affecting the profit made on the deal. At the end of the guarantee period (a 5-year average) any remaining amount of
provision is reversed in the income statement.
ii)
Onerous contracts
The Group recognizes a provision for onerous contracts when, for construction contracts in progress, it is established that the costs
to be incurred to satisfy the obligation assumed exceed the future economic benefits. This analysis is made on a contract by
contract basis, based on information provided by the project managers.
iii)
Legal claims in progress
A provision for legal claims in progress is recognized when there is a reliable estimate of the costs to be incurred as a consequence
of lawsuits proposed by third parties.
iv)
Financial assets accounted for under the equity method
A provision is recognized whenever an associate or jointly controlled company has a negative equity and it is considered that the
Group has assumed responsibilities over and above its share of the capital.
xviii) Government grants
Grants received for staff training programmes and new hiring actions are recognized as income in the same period the relevant
expenses are incurred.
Grants received to finance tangible fixed asset investments are recorded as deferred income and are recognized as income, in the
caption ‘Other operating income’, on a straight-line basis over the expected life-cycle of the underlying assets.
xix) Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding Goodwill
At each reporting period and whenever an event or change in circumstance is identified, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of
its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that these assets are impaired. When the asset
carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognized and recorded in the caption ‘Impairment
losses’. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell and value in use. The fair value less cost to sell is the
amount that could be obtained in an arms-length transaction. Value in use is calculated by assessing the estimated future cash
flows generated by the asset discounted to the present value, taking into consideration its residual value. When it is not possible to
estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to
which the asset belongs.
The reversal of impairment losses recorded in previous years is recognized when the underlying reasons that caused that entry are
no longer applicable and, consequently, the asset is no longer impaired. The reversal of impairment losses is recognized in the
income statement as an operating result. However, the reversal of an impairment loss is performed just up to the limit of the amount
that would be recorded through the historical cost, or through the revalued amount, net of amortization and depreciation, if the
impairment loss had not been recorded in previous years.
90
12
xx) Employee benefits
Variable remuneration
According to the statutes of some Group companies, the shareholders of those companies approved at the General Meeting or
within a Remuneration Committee elected by the shareholders, the fixed and variable remuneration to be distributed to the
members of governing bodies. Bonus payments are recorded in the period to which they relate.
xxi) Statement of financial position presentation
Assets to be realized and liabilities to be settled twelve months after the reporting date are classified as non-current. Likewise, given
their nature, ‘Deferred taxes’ and ‘Provisions’ are classified as non-current in the statement of financial position.
xxii) Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Instead, they are disclosed in the notes to the
financial statements unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote, in which case no disclosure is made.
Contingent assets are not recorded in the consolidated financial statements but are disclosed when future economic benefits are probable.
xxiii) Consolidated cash flow statement
The consolidated cash flow statement is prepared using the direct method, according to IAS 7. The Group classifies as ‘Cash and cash
equivalents’ applications which mature in less than three months and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
The consolidated cash flow statement is classified into operating, investing and financing activities. Operating activities include cash
receipts from clients, cash payments to suppliers, cash payments to and on behalf of employees and other operating activities’
payments and receipts. Investing activities’ cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts related with acquisitions and
sales of tangible and intangible assets and investments.
Financing activities’ cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts of loans and borrowings, financial lease contracts and
dividend payments.
xxiv) Subsequent events
Events occurring after the reporting period that provide further evidence of conditions existing at the end of the reporting period
(“adjusting events”), are recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Events occurring after the reporting period that are
indicative of conditions occurring after the end of the reporting period (“non-adjusting events”), if material, are disclosed in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements.
xxv) Judgements and estimates
In the process of preparing the Group’s consolidated financial statements the Board of Directors used its best knowledge and
accumulated experience in past and / or current events in making certain assumptions as to future events.
st
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended on 31 December
2015 and 2014 include:







The life-cycle of the tangible assets;
Fair value of the investment properties;
Impairment analysis of goodwill;
Recognition of provisions and impairment losses;
Revenue recognition on construction contracts and guarantees;
Recognition of deferred tax assets arising from tax losses;
Fair value of derivatives.
The estimates used were based on the best information available during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements
and on the best knowledge of past and present events. Although future events are neither controlled by the Group nor foreseeable,
some can occur and have an impact on the estimates. Changes to the estimates used by the Board, that occur after the date of these
consolidated financial statements, will be recognized in net income, in accordance with IAS 8, using a prospective methodology.

xxvi) Financial risk management
Financial markets include a high degree of uncertainty, to which the Group is exposed. This uncertainty is translated into several
risks, to which the Group is exposed, namely price risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
a) Price Risk
The volatility of the prices of raw materials constitutes a risk for the Group, both in the metallic constructions and in the solar areas.
The antidumping measures / charges that the European Union decided to implement on steel and aluminium products with origin in
China brought a great uncertainty regarding price, which will affect the operational activity of the metallic constructions business
area. Concerning the market trend on solar panel prices, they kept constant; however, their variation may also influence the solar
activity. Martifer has sought to mitigate this risk the same way in both areas, by including clauses in the contracts with customers
that allow it to pass on raw-material price fluctuations and by negotiating fixed prices for large scale projects with its suppliers.
b) Currency Risk
Currency risk has a strong correlation with the other types of risks, with highlight to its relation with countries’ risk, through the
evolution of economies and their impact in inflation and interest rates, and with credit risk, via currency fluctuations that may
jeopardize future financial flows, reflecting the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign
exchange rates between different currencies.
The Group’s internationalization forces it to be exposed to currency risk from different countries.
Exposure to currency risk results mainly from operational activities (in which expenses, income, assets and liabilities are expressed
in a currency other than the reporting currency of the Group), from transactions between these subsidiaries and other Group
companies and from the existence of transactions with external parties made by the operational companies in a currency other than
the reporting currency of the Group.
Concerning exchange rates’ hedging, hedges are sporadic as their cost is sometimes considered excessive in relation to the risk
level involved. However, whenever considered suitable, the Group contracts exchange rates hedging in order to cover the risk.
During 2015, as a result of the severe economic and financial crisis Angola has been facing, largely explained by the significant
drop in oil prices, there was a huge shortage of tradable currency in the Angolan market, causing limitations in the financial flows
coming from this geography.
The Group has been trying to mitigate this risk through financial instruments presented by its clients (e. g. letters of credit) in order
to maintain the regular financial flow.
The relevant amounts of the Group’s assets and liabilities recorded in a currency other than the Euro are as follows:

c) Interest Rate Risk
The cost of financial debt contracted by the Group is indexed to short term base rates, reviewed with a year or less frequency, plus
a negotiated risk premium. Therefore, variations in interest rates may affect the Group’s results.
the Group faces a risk of fair value variation on these assets or liabilities, since every change in market rates involves an
opportunity cost. In the second case, such change has a direct impact on interest value, consequently causing cash variations.
In more significant medium and long-term loans and whenever it considers it appropriate the Group relies, when it considers it
appropriate, on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to hedge exposure to interest rate risk them. The amounts,
interest due dates and repayment schedules of the loans underlying the interest rate derivatives are identical to those of the loans
they hedge, and so being they are considered perfect hedges.
During 2015, the reference interest rates in the euro area remained at very low levels, even reaching negative values at the end of the
year. According to the European Central Bank projections published on March 2016 (“March 2016 ECB staff macroeconomic
projections for the euro area”), rates should remain at very low levels during 2016 and 2017, with a modest growth expected for 2018.
th
premium rates (spread) to very competitive values, allowing a lower exposure to interest rate risk. This change in the bank financing
st
pricing took effect as of 1 January 2015. This factor, together with the expected stability in the reference rates contribute to
Martifer’s current low exposure to interest rate risk.
The analysis of the sensitivity to variation for more or less 1 p.p. in interest rate is presented in Note 30 - ‘Borrowings’.
d) Liquidity Risk
As mentioned above, at the end of 2015 the Group restructured its debt with financial institutions, through the rescheduling of bank
financing repayments over time, increasing the debt maturity in order to make it coincide with the long term assets’ continuity and,
at the same time to allow the cash surpluses to be sufficient to comply with its responsibilities.
93
12
Therefore, and having in mind the medium / long term features of the investments made, the debt service accompanies the maturity
of the associated assets, not jeopardizing the commitments from its short term operational activity in the pursuit of the Group’s goal
st
As a consequence of the previously mentioned measures, it is verifiable that on 31 December 2015 the Current Assets largely

3. INFORMATION BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Group bases its disclosure of information on the primary segments of its internal organisation for management purposes.
The Group is organised in two business areas: ‘Metallic Constructions’ and ‘Renewables’ that are coordinated and supported by
Martifer SGPS.
The Metallic Constructions business area includes all the construction activities involving metal mechanical constructions,
aluminium and glass façades, infrastructures for oil & gas and naval industry. The Renewables segment includes the promotion and
development of renewable energy projects, with special emphasis on the wind sector.
The amounts presented in ‘Other’ are related to the services rendered by Martifer SGPS, S.A., Martifer Solar SGPS, S.A. and by
Martifer Inovação e Gestão S.A. (the later up until August 2015, since in September it was transferred to the Metallic Constructions
perimeter).
In September 2014, the Group started to classify the solar business unit (composed by Martifer Solar, SA and its subsidiaries) as a
non current asset held for sale. Since the requirements of IFRS 5 were fulfilled, the contribution to Martifer’s consolidated results,
coming from this segment, is presented in an autonomous line in the Consolidated P&L. The breakdown of these contributions is in
the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 28).
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the information by each business segment are the same as the ones used in the
preparation of the attached financial statements (Note 1).

Brazil, the geography ‘Other markets’ would also grow when compared with 2014. In the ‘Renewables’ segment, sales increased 37
% mainly due to the growth of sales in Romania and Poland. The Group is focused in internationalization, focusing in emerging

In 2015, the Group’s Consolidated EBITDA reflects a significant increase, when compared with 2014, from 6 million euros to 11.4
million euros, which represents a growth in around 90 %. This increase in EBITDA is strongly influenced by the increase in the
EBITDA of Metallic Constructions, from negative 7.2 million euros to positive 9.2 million euros. In the Renewables segment,
EBITDA reached 2.7 million euros in 2015showing a 79 % decrease when compared with the previous year, mainly justified by the
significant effect of the sale of Rosa dos Ventos in Brazil in 2014. The EBITDA in 2015 results from Martifer Renewables’
throughout the year and from the impairment of a credit in Brazil. Without this impairment, Martifer Renewables’ EBITDA would
reach 6 million euros.

The caption Impairment Losses in ‘Clients’ includes an impairment registered by Martifer Renewables Brasil Participações Ltda.,
totalling 3,173,742 euros, related with the balance with Martifer – Construções Metálicas, Ltda. With the sale of the company
Martifer – Construções Metálicas, Ltda and the economic recession in Brazil, it was considered that this balance will be of hard
recovery, and so the impairment was recognized. In 2014 this caption included losses with the sale of assets in Metallic
Constructions and with expenses with discontinued wind projects in Brazil.
The caption ‘Unfavourable exchange differences’ is related with the occurrence of foreign exchange variations in non-financial
transactions, primarily in the non-Euro Zone Group affiliates (Note 1).

Metallic Constructions segment.

‘Provisions for onerous contracts’ are related to ongoing construction contracts in which it is estimated that the costs associated
with the obligation exceeds the forecasted economic benefits. These provisions are mainly related with the Metallic Constructions
segment. In 2015, the amount of provisions related to onerous contracts is negative since they were used or reverted.
In 2014, the reinforcement of provisions for ‘Legal claims in progress’ is mainly due to a provision in Martifer Construções for an
indemnity to Alstom related to the Sostanj (Slovenia) and the Manheim (Germany) legal claims. This indemnity was agreed and
paid in 2015.

The amount in the caption ‘Gains on the sale of financial assets’ is related with the capital gains arising from the sale of Eviva
Gizalki Sp. Zoo (Note 21).
The captions ‘Foreign exchange gains / (losses)’ are essentially related with exchange variations registered in non-Euro Zone
Group companies (Note 1).
12
‘Other financial income’ in 2015 concern mainly to the gain arising from the debt renegotiation process with Banco Bilbao y
Viszcaya, in which the financing was amortized with a discount on the outstanding capital and a partial pardon of interests.
The ‘other financial expenses’ concern mainly with bank commission costs, in which expenses with bank guarantees are included.
The decrease in ‘Interest expenses in bank loans and in finance leases’, from 22.7 million euros in 2014 to 8.35 million euros in
2015 is due to the decrease in the spread associated to contracts under the financial debt restructuring signed with the financial
st
credit institutions on December 2015 and with retroactive effects to 1 January 2015.

The deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities of tax losses and to investment properties revaluation include an amount of
9,300,000 euros in bases and 1,953,000 euros in tax, which were compensated, since it is forecasted by the Board of Directors that
the Investment Property will be sold in the deferred tax assets recovery period, which means that at the moment of sale these
deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities will be used simultaneously.

On 31 December 2015, the deferred tax assets and liabilities were, respectively, 5,942,206 euros and 916,299 euros (2014:
4,720,190 euros and 930,496 euros, respectively), with a positive impact on the income statement of 1,329,116 (in 2013, negative
impact of 1,681,071 euros).
In 2014, deferred tax assets recognized on tax losses were annulled in what concerns risks of recoverability materialized, based on
projections made by the respective businesses. We highlight the value of deferred taxes in the Solar segment, concerning the
activity in the USA, included in ‘Result from discontinued operations’ (note 28).
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014, taking into consideration the Portuguese tax legislation applicable to dividends, no deferred tax
liabilities were recorded for the timing differences arising on the appropriation of the results of affiliated companies, due to their
immaterial effect on the accompanying financial statements.
st
On 31 December 2015 there are tax losses carried forward, in the companies taxed under the groups of companies’ mechanism
(Regime Especial de Tributação de Grupos de Sociedades “RETGS”), in which Martifer SGPS is the dominant company, before
st
and after the application of RETGS, amounting 175,762,608 euros (197,928,781 euros on 31 December 2014), which potential
st
deferred tax assets reach 39,546,587 euros (44,533,976 euros on 31 December 2014). As caution, deferred tax assets related
with tax losses in Portugal were recorded to use in the future, only in the amount of 3,980,136 euros.

In 2015, Martifer SGPS and its companies located in Portugal are individually taxed and are subject to a tax rate of 21 % in terms of
corporate income tax (‘Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Coletivas’ or IRC), increased by a municipal surcharge that can
reach 1.5 % of the taxable profit.
Additionally, on the portion of taxable profits above 1,500,000 euros and not exempt from corporate income tax (IRC), the following
additional state surcharges are applied: 3 % on the amount above 1,500,000 euros and up to 7,500,000 euros; 5 % on the amount
above 7,500,000 euros and up to 35,000,000 euros; and 7 % on the amount of taxable profits which exceed 35,000,000 euros.
According to Article 88 of the Tax Code ‘Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Coletivas’, Portuguese companies are also
subject to autonomous taxes on some expenses, at tax rates defined in the said code.
During 2011, Martifer SGPS, SA opted for the special taxation of groups of companies’ mechanism (Regime Especial de Tributação
de Grupos de Sociedades “RETGS”), which contemplates the companies in which it holds, directly or indirectly, at least 75 % of
their capital and that simultaneously meet the other conditions set by that mechanism.
The remaining affiliated companies of the Group, not contemplated by this mechanism, are taxed individually, based on their
taxable profits and the tax rates applicable.
st
After the changes in corporate income tax (IRC) for 2015, decreed on 31 December 2014, deferred taxes in Portugal were
calculated based on a 21 % rate.
The net income generated by foreign subsidiaries is taxed at local tax rates, namely, those generated in Spain, in Poland, in Romania,
in France, in Italy, in Belgium, in the United States of America, in Brazil and in the United Kingdom are taxed at 28 %, 19 %, 16 %,
34.43 %, 27.5 %, 33.99 %, 35 %, 34 % and 20 % respectively.
According to the current tax legislation in Portugal, tax returns of Portuguese companies can be reviewed by the tax authorities for a
period of four years (and five years for Social Security), except when tax losses have been generated, tax benefits have been
granted or when any review, claim or impugnation is in course, under which circumstances the periods can be extended or
suspended. Therefore, all annual tax returns for the year 2012 through 2015 are still open to such review.

15. DIVIDENDS
In 2015 and 2014, the Group did not distribute dividends.
16. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Martifer SGPS, SA has only issued ordinary shares and, as such, no shares have special voting or dividend rights.
Martifer has just one type of potential ordinary dilutive shares: stock options. In order to calculate diluted earnings per share it is
necessary to determine whether these stock options, irrespective of whether they are exercised or not, have a diluting effect, which
happens when the option exercise price is lower than the average market price of the shares.
st
st
Since the average market price of Martifer’ s shares, during the period between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015, was
0.29 euros, below that of the exercise price of the stock options (Euro 3.84), these stock options are non-diluting because, if the
options were to be exercised, the number of outstanding shares would be reduced.
st
Therefore, on 31 December 2015 there are no differences between the basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per
share calculation. The share capital of Martifer SGPS, SA is represented by 100,000,000 ordinary shares, fully paid up,
representing a share capital of Euro 50,000,000.
The average number of shares outstanding is net of 2,215,910 shares corresponding to the volume of own shares acquired by
Martifer SGPS, SA.
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014, the basic and diluted earnings per share may be summarised as follows:

Both the fair value allocation of the assets and liabilities acquired and the goodwill calculation were performed using the financial
statements of the acquired companies at the date of acquisition.
The Group performs annual impairment tests on Goodwill, at the end of each year, as disclosed in the section ‘Main accounting
policies, judgements and estimates’.
For impairment assessment purposes, Goodwill was allocated to the cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the
business combination within each operational segment. The recoverable amount for each cash generating unit was determined
based on its value in use, using the discounted cash flow method, supported by the business plans drawn up by the persons in
charge of each unit and approved by the Board of Directors of the Group. Different discount rates were used according to the risks
inherent to each company.
st
On 31 December 2015, the methods and assumptions used in the identification, or not, of any impairment loss in the more
significant amounts of Goodwill recorded by each of the segments in the accompanying financial statements, was as follows:

Discount rate applied to the projected cash flows
The average turnover growth calculated in each segment underlies the following estimates and expectations: (i) in Martifer
Construções, a stagnation in 2016 and from 2017 on a 10 % annual growth, resulting from projects in the order book, which
development will mostly occur on the second half of 2016 and in 2017, several proposals in an advanced stage of negotiation and
which award is expected to occur in 2016 and the announced consolidation of the economic recovery, with a sharper growth in the
Portuguese economy and in the main world economies; (ii) in Martifer Metallic Constructions, a 10 % annual growth, resulting from
the estimated growth in the Metallic Constructions area, due to projects, both ongoing or expecting award, as well as by the entry
on new markets or growth in markets where Martifer has already a strong presence and which economies are estimated to growth
sharper than in the previous years, and by the consolidation of growth in shipbuilding, in which the rhythm of projects awarded has
been very significant; (iii) in Navalria, the sharp growth rate the naval area has been facing, both in shipbuilding and repair, and
synergies with West Sea.
The Board of Directors, based on the discounted value of the provisional cash flows of the cash generating units of this business
st
segment, discounted at the applicable rate, concluded that, on 31 December 2015, the carrying amount of the net assets,
including Goodwill, did not exceed its recoverable amount.
12
The projected cash flows are based on the historic performance and on the expectations of efficiency improvements. Those in
charge of this segment believe that (in a scenario of normality) a change in the main assumptions used in the calculation of the
recoverable amount would have the impact shown on the following table:

Capital expenditure in 2015 was mainly applied in the Renewables segment, with a strong investment in Brazil, acquisition of
equipment and cost capitalization in projects under development, and in the Metallic Constructions segment, with special emphasis
to the naval area with the reinforcement of operational capacity in West Sea (Shipyard in Viana do Castelo) and to the increase in
basic equipment en Angola, in order to reinforce the production capacity in this country.
The changes in the consolidation perimeter occurred due to the sale of the construction segment in Brazil.

20. INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
The caption ‘Investment properties’ relates to the following investment properties held by the Martifer Group: Benavente Business
Centre, Warehouses in Albergaria-a-Velha and “Martifer Construções property”, all located in Portugal, as well as the Szczecin real
estate project in Poland, all held for rental income or sale.
These assets are carried at their fair market value, based on independent appraisals made by specialized entities, applying the
RICS Valuation Standards (RICS Red Book). Martifer Group performs regular revaluations of these properties and the eventual
changes in fair value are registered in the results. In 2015, an exception was made in the Szczecin real estate project, as explained
below.

FY 2015
Martifer Construções Property
In 2015, the Szczecin municipality expropriated part of the land included in the Szczecin real estate projects and the amount of
compensation to earn from this expropriation is currently under discussion. The independent evaluation value reflects only the part
of the land that remains a property of Martifer SGPS. No fair value variation was registered, since it will only be definitely calculated
when the compensation value on the referred expropriation is decided. The board of Directors expects that the difference from the
book value will be recovered.
Earnings obtained from investment properties in 2015 amounted to 361,530 euros (444,992 euros in 2014) and are recorded in the
caption ‘Sales and Services Rendered’.

The increase in impairments under ‘Other receivables’ is related to the impairment registered in Martifer Renewables Brasil
Participações Ltda., in 3,137,742 euros, related with the retained credit on Martifer - Construções Metálicas, Ltda. With the sale of
the company Martifer - Construções Metálicas, Ltda and the economic recession in Brazil, it was considered this credit will be of
difficult recovery in its total amount, and therefore the impairment was recognized.

The Group’s credit risk exposure is attributable, primarily, to accounts receivable from its operating activities. The amounts
presented in the statement of financial position are net of accumulated impairment losses for doubtful debts, which have been
estimated by the Group based on its experience, current conditions and the economic environment.
st
On 31 December 2015, the accounts receivable recorded as ‘Doubtful trade debtors’ was considered to be totally impaired.
For the remaining outstanding balances, the Group considers that there has been no deterioration of the credit capacity of the
counterparts and, therefore, that such balances are not uncollectible.
The average collection period of the Group’s accounts receivable during 2015 was 235 days, the main factor behind this being the
current economic environment. Despite this unfavourable environment, the Group is committed to the compliance with its credit risk
policy, namely in terms of the strict selection of given credit, both in quantity and in quality, as well the respective collection.
The Board of Directors believes that the amount recorded in the caption ‘Trade and other receivables’ is very similar to its fair value,
considering, in particular, that the accounts receivables more than 180 days overdue are not expected to generate important
losses in addition to the impairment losses recorded.
The Group does not charge any interest as long as the established collection period (on average 90 days) is being respected. After
that period, interest is invoiced if contractually agreed, and in accordance with the applicable law, depending on each situation,
which tends to occur only in extreme situations.
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014 the non-current balances with related companies, both subsidiaries and participating, refer
mainly to supplementary capital granted, bearing no interest and with no reimbursement date; the current balances with ‘associate
companies and other shareholders’ are related, mainly, with loans granted to joint ventures and associates, which bear interests at
three-month Euribor, with an added 6.75 % spread.
12
In the caption ‘Trade receivables’ not due, are included withholdings made by clients that consist in a percentage of the predefined
withholding in individual contract for each project, with a total of 13 million euros in 2015. These withholdings are opened during the
warranty period and therefore we can’t collect this amount from the client. When bank guarantees are issued on our behalf, we can
then collect the amount.
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014, the Group does not have any held-to-maturity financial assets or ‘financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss.
25. CURRENT TAX ASSETS
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014, ‘current tax assets’ are as follows:
FY 2015
FY 2014

Other taxes
Current tax assets
The value added tax in 2015, as in 2014, largely corresponds to the recoverable amount of this tax, essentially in respect of the
acquisition of turbines, in the Renewables segment (2.2 million euros). The remaining value is mainly because the activity in
Portugal in the Metallic Constructions segment is primarily for export.
In 2014, in the caption ‘Other taxes’ are reflected the values of tax over revenues (ICMS, PIS, COFINS and ISS) to pay in Brazil,
related to projects (metallic constructions segment), with the exit of the Metallic Constructions segment of the country in 2015
contributing for the reduction of this asset.
26. OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

40,904,841
The gross value of accrued income in 2015 had a significant reduction mainly explained by the exit in Brazil in the Metallic
Constructions segment and by a strong reduction in Portugal and Angola.
The increase in 2015 of the caption ‘Other accrued income’ is strongly related to invoices to issue in the Metallic Constructions
segment in Portugal and in the United Kingdom.
12
st
On 31 December 2015, the caption ‘Other prepayments’ includes, essentially, the prepayments relating to specialized works, that
will be rendered / performed during 2016.
The caption ‘Other current financial assets’, in 2014, refers mainly to green certificates that the Group received for the production of
st
electricity in Romania that were still unsold on 31 December 2014.

glass façades, oil & gas infrastructures and naval industry) and fulfil the active sale plan of its 55 % share of Martifer Solar. As the sale
is highly likely, Martifer Solar’s assets and liabilities were classified as “non-current assets held for sale” and “liabilities associated to
non-current assets held for sale” respectively, being Martifer Solar’s Net Profit presented as “discontinued operations’ result”.

owners of Martifer
As referred in the Management Report, revenues in 2015 registered a sharp increase justified, mainly, by a 57 MW EPC project
under construction in Jordan and by the final stage of construction of projects in the United Kingdom.
The caption ‘Other operating income’ includes the gains on the sale of the Tongue project in the United Kingdom (2.5 million euros),
the income from the temporary loaning of the module factory (2.4 million euros) and operational capital gains (1 million euros).
The EBITDA in the end of 2015 was 4.9 million euros (-25.7 million euros in 2014), showing therefore an improvement in the overall
operational performance in the Solar segment, contrasting with the losses registered in 2014, related to the Aura Solar project in
Mexico and the respective force majeure event, as well as with the entities in the United States involved in the Chapter 11 process,
reported in the previous period. On the other hand, during 2015, the projects under construction in the United Kingdom, which
transited from 2014, were affected by adjustments in their operational margins, having a negative impact in EBITDA.
The Revenues of this segment continue focused in the external market, with highlight to Jordan, as previously stated.
It is also important to refer that the EBIT in 2015 includes a partial reversion (around 3.8 million euros) of the impairment registered
in 2014 in the investment in FTP Power (USA).
The Net Financial Results in 2015 reached 6.4 million euros (in 2014 were 8.1 million euros, registering an improvement compared
with the previous period, despite the registration of high financial expenses, namely in bank commissions in various projects and
bank fees by SBLC’s (collateral to lines of credit).

Share premium
The share premium corresponds to additional amounts obtained with the issuance of share capital increases. In accordance with
the Portuguese commercial legislation, the amounts included in this caption follow the regime established for the ‘Legal reserve’,
and consequently, they are non-distributable, except in the event of the liquidation of the company. However, they may be used to
absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted, or to increase share capital.
Reserves
Legal reserve
Portuguese commercial legislation requires that at least 5 % of the annual net profit be appropriated to a legal reserve, until such
reserve attains at least 20 % of the share capital. This reserve is non-distributable, except in the event of the liquidation of the
company. However, it may be used to absorb losses, after all the other reserves are exhausted, or to increase share capital.
This reserve is included in the caption ‘Other reserves’ and amounts to 7,696,844 euros.
Own treasury shares
The Group holds 2,215,910 own treasury shares, corresponding to 2.22 % of its share capital. In accordance with the Portuguese
legislation, it is mandatory to keep non-distributable reserves in the amount of own treasury shares, included in ‘Other Reserves’.
Fair value reserves – Cash flow hedge derivatives
‘Fair value reserves – Cash flow hedge derivatives’ reflect the fair value changes in the cash flow hedges considered effective and
cannot be distributed to shareholders nor used to absorb losses.
Foreign currency translation reserves
12
Foreign currency translation reserves reflect the foreign currency exchange differences arising from: (i) translation of foreign
operations; (ii) net investment in subsidiaries and (iii) goodwill. These reserves cannot be distributed to shareholders nor used to
absorb losses, being transferred to the income statement when the affiliates are sold or liquidated.
Other reserves
In addition to the legal reserve, totalling 7,696,844 euros, this caption includes the results of prior years and a non-distributable
reserve in the amount of 2,868,519 euros relating to the value of the treasury shares.

In 2015, the main impacts that justify the reduction in non-controlling interests, despite the positive net profit for the period, mainly
result from changes in the consolidation perimeter with the corporate restructuring that occurred in the Group in 2015 (Note 2), in
which the companies in the Metallic Constructions segment are all below Martifer Metallic Constructions SGPS, S.A. (75 % owned
by the Group, as well as Martifer Inovação e Gestão, S.A.. ‘Other changes in equity of subsidiaries’ also have a negative impact
that results mainly from the exchange devaluation in some geographies.
st
Non controlling interests on 31 December 2015 reflect, besides the result defined: i) the impact of decrease in participation in
Martifer Metallic Constructions, SGPS, SA, owned by Martifer, SGPS, SA at 75 %, following the equity increase (28 million euros) in
this company by the new shareholder Vector Diálogo, SGPS, SA; ii) the impact of the sale of Rosa dos Ventos in the RE Developer
segment; iii) the impact of deconsolidation of Martifer Solar USA and Martifer Aurora Solar LLC, following the loss of control (Note
2); iv) the distribution of dividends in the RE Developer segment (12 million euros) to a minority shareholder for a value different
from its capital share; and v) the classification of Martifer Solar as a non-current asset held for sale (Note 28).

On 31 December 2015, the Group’s net debt was 260,290,867 euros. The net debt calculation includes, besides the borrowings
mentioned above, ‘finance leases’, ‘derivatives’ and ‘cash and cash equivalents’. This amount corresponds to an 8 % reduction
when compared with the last year, in line with the decreasing of the Martifer Group’s debt has been presenting over the last years
and in result of a debt reduction policy.
This variation is influenced by the financial debt restructuring agreements signed between Martifer and the financial credit
institutions at the end of 2015.
Following this debt reduction policy, Martifer Group will continue, in 2016, the process of sale of non-core assets: Solar segment,
wind farms and, residually, real estate projects.
The financial debt restructuring agreement also allowed the adequacy of the inflows maturity of the operational activity and
investment (divestment) to the outflows of the financing activity, through the rescheduling of the maturity over time, increasing the
average debt maturity to make it more coincident with the degree of permanence of its long term assets and a maturity that allows
st
the cash surpluses to be sufficient to comply with its responsibilities. Therefore, on 31 December 2015, the average debt maturity
was around 8 years.
Other borrowings
The amount of ‘Other borrowings’ includes 2.7 million euros in obligations under finance leases (related to the financing of the real
estate projects recorded as ‘Work in progress’ – Note 19) which, in the event of the sale of the referred projects, will be settled at
that moment and not in accordance with the established reimbursement plan, which contractually occurs after 2015.
This caption also includes 1.2 million euros from a payment to a suppliers’ grouped credit line.
The caption ‘Other borrowings’ also includes the loans obtained from the Portuguese Agency for Foreign Investment and
Commerce (Agência para o Investimento e Comércio Externo de Portugal - AICEP), Institute for Support to Medium and Small
Companies and to Investment (Instituto de Apoio às Pequenas e Médias Empresas e ao Investimento - IAPMEI), as support for the
investment carried out by the Group amounting 2.2 million euros.

Currently, more than 90 % of the debt is subject to floating rate.
As a consequence of the signature of the restructuring agreement, there is a strong reduction in the loans’ spreads. This factor,
together with the ongoing decreasing trend in the indexes, translated into a reduction in debt cost.

The balance of non-current ‘Trade payables’ is primarily related with retentions on work performed by external parties, which will be
released at the end of the guarantee period. These amounts bear no interest.
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014, this caption includes balances payable to suppliers resulting from the Group’s operating
activities, as well as from tangible and intangible asset acquisitions. The Board of Directors believes that the carrying amount of
these balances is very similar to their fair value and that the effect of the financial discounting of these amounts is not material. The
reduction of advances from clients justifies the significant reduction in 2015.

exception for the ones in which the bank guarantee is issued by the supplier and not by Martifer, being these considered ‘Not due’.
Accounts payable more than 180 days overdue relate to amounts payable to trade creditors with which the Group maintains regular
commercial relations.
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014, the balances due to ‘associate companies and to other shareholders’ relate, primarily, to loans
obtained from jointly controlled entities and associate companies, that bear interest at Euribor 3M increased by a 6.75 % spread.
Besides the financial liabilities previously disclosed and in Notes 30 and 31 above, the Group does not have any other financial
liabilities.

APPLICATIONS
Quality guarantee provisions were recorded to meet potential quality problems resulting from the Group’s operating activities. On
average, quality guarantees have a 5 year limit. The provisions reflect a percentage of the construction value, which varies between
0.08 % and 0.22 %, depending on the business segment and the company. In 2015 a reclassification/transfer was made of part of
the amount registered under the caption ‘Onerous contracts’ to the caption ‘Quality guarantees’, since it is the most adequate
framing regarding the recognized obligation.
In 2014, provisions for onerous contracts concern to estimated responsibilities associated to possible contract obligations in the
operational activity of the Metallic Constructions segment, and its value was used in totality in 2015
The increase in caption ‘Other’ is related to the registration of a provision I the Metallic Constructions segment in Angola, related
with the already concluded Kanhangulo project.
As referred to in note 1, a provision for investments in associate companies which capital is negative (based on the owned
shareholding) (Note 21).
Considering the uncertainties surrounding these provisions, as well as their nature, the Group did not financially discount these amounts.
34. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
st
On 31 December 2015, the contingent liabilities are as follows:
a)
th
On 29 October 2009, Martifer Polska, in consortium with ‘Ocekon Engineering s.r.o.’ (Slovakia), concluded with
Energomontaz – Południe S.A. an agreement for Works, whose object was the manufacture, execution, delivery and
installation of the steel roof on the Baltic Arena Stadium in Gdańsk (Poland), in the approximate amount of 11.3 million euros.
nd
On 2 September 2010, Martifer received a notice of the immediate termination of the agreement from Energomontaz –
Południe S.A., without any prior warning. The main reason alleged for the termination were delays in the execution, which, in
th
Martifer’s opinion, was totally unfounded and ultimately ineffective. On 17 December 2010, Martifer lodged an official lawsuit
in the Court in Katowice, against Energomontaz. The amount of the lawsuit was approximately 12.6 million euros, including
th
interest, the cost of the capital involved and the damages caused to Martifer by the lack of cooperation. On 17 January 2012,
Energomontaz - Południe SA lodged its legal suit against Martifer, involving 5.7 million euros. Court hearings are in progress
12
and Martifer Group has recognized in its financial statements impairment losses relating to the account receivable, production
not invoiced and the executed bank guarantee; therefore it considers that this litigation risk is adequately covered in its
financial statements. Meanwhile, the company Energomontaz has entered a bankruptcy process. In April 2013, Martifer
submitted the list of claims, totalling 16.9 million euros, to the insolvency administrator. To date, there is no information on the
list of credits of the insolvency estate.
st
b)
Martifer signed, on 1 August 2014, an investment agreement denominated “Agreement”, related with a 30 million euros
investment in Nutre, SGPS, SA to be performed by a company to be owned in 80 % by Ceres Investment, and within which,
depending on certain conditions, Martifer sells its 49 % share held in Nutre, SGPS, SA’s share capital.
th
The closing of the transaction occurred on 19 December 2014, when 50 % of the investment was executed by Ceres
Investments. However, all documentation related to the investment and transfer of shares was in custody of a Notary until the
date Ceres Investments executes the remaining investment, of 15 million euros, which occurred in January 2015.
According to the investment agreement mentioned above, Martifer SGPS, SA is responsible, in proportion to the sold share,
for the payment of compensations to third parties due by Nutre SGPS SA or any of its subsidiaries, in case they are condemned
and the amount of compensation exceeds an accumulated total of 500,000 euros, with a maximum of 14.7 million euros, by
facts that occurred before the date of the investment agreement, and on a 3 year period after the closing of the operation.
After this closing, the company Koninklijke Bunge B.V. lodged an arbitration procedure against Nutre Farming B.V.
(subsidiary of Nutre SGPS, S.A.), in which the companies Koninklijke Bunge B.V (“Bunge”) e Bunge Prio Coöperatief U.A.
claim from Nutre Farming B.V. a total of 22,711,607 Romanian Leus and 19,558,282 euros. In its turn, Nutre, in counterclaim,
claims from Bunge the amount of 13,839,700 euros for itself and 19,747,265 euros for Bunge Prio Coöperatief U.A.. The trial
hearings were concluded in March 2016, with an expected ruling by the Arbitration Court in April 2016.
To date, Martifer SGPS SA was not notified of any occurrence from which may surge the obligation to compensate the
acquirer of its share on Nutre SGPS, SA, as indicated above.
c)
The Romanian subsidiary, Martifer Constructii, acquired, on 9 March 2007, a plot of land in Aricesti, Prahova province, in
Romania, for approximately 8.2 million RON. The referred acquisition is under a judicial dispute, currently pending judicial
action, with its terms running under appeal, being expected one of two outcomes:
1.
The Court rules a decision under which the land is maintained in property of the Romanian State, initial owner, in which
Martifer Constructii shall have the right to an indemnity, at least, at an equivalent amount of the price paid on the land
when it was acquired
2.
The Court rules a decision under which the land transits to Martifer Constructii assets, with Martifer Constructii
acquitting the totality of the rights of the land.
According to the developments on the current judicial action, Martifer considers as most probable the happening of the
scenario presented on 1), with a high probability of recovery of the amount paid when the land was acquired.
th
The Group's expectation is that no losses will occur with these processes over and above the ones already recognized in its
financial statements.
35. CURRENT TAX LIABILITIES

On 31 December 2015 and 2014 ‘Current tax liabilities’ are as follows:
FY 2015
FY 2014

42,091,465
st
The ‘Other accrued expenses’, on 31 December 2015, relate to the supplies and external services rendered in 2015 not yet
invoiced.
The ‘Interest borne but not yet overdue’ suffered a significant reduction due to the restructuring process that occurred in 2015.
The increase in ‘Production invoiced and not yet performed’ is mainly related to the Metallic Constructions segment in Saudi Araba
and in the shipbuilding area in Portugal.
‘Other deferred income’ in 2015, as in 2014, is mainly the result of the recognition of a deferred income with the attribution of green
certificates in Eviva Nalbant S.R.L.

st
rates on its financing contracts, thereby fixing interest rates. On 31 December 2015 and 2014, the derivative contracts in place
were as follows:

The fair value of the above derivative contracts has been determined by the counterparties and, as these derivatives qualify as cash flow
hedges, they have been recorded in the equity caption ‘Fair value reserves – Derivatives’ and in ‘Derivatives’, under Assets and Liabilities.
The fair value valuation of the derivatives contracted by the Group (essentially interest rate swaps) was performed by the respective
financial institutions acting as counterparties. The fair value valuation model used by the counterparties is based on the discounted
cash flows method, using the swaps par rates, listed in the Interbank market, and available on Reuters and/or Bloomberg terminals, for
the negotiated periods, which are used to calculate the forward interest rates and discount factors. The present value of the fixed cash
flows (fixed leg) and the present value of the variable cash flows (floating leg) are then calculated. From the addition of the two legs
results the NPV (Net Present Value or discounted value of the future cash flows or fair value of the derivatives).

Regarding guarantees issued to customers, there are two types, addition and good execution:
Addition aim to ensure the amount delivered by the client in the beginning of the project for material purchase. The amount
advanced is defined in contract and is regularized upon invoice. The client cancels the guarantee when the totality of the
advance is deducted.
Good execution aims to guarantee the compliance with the contract (execution deadlines, quality, etc.). The expiry of this
type of guarantee is defined in contract and they are cancelled when the final acceptance of the project is issued.

The amount of operational guarantees registered in Martifer Construções and West Sea correspond mainly to guarantees to third
parties regarding contracting of raw material supply plateaux.
In 2015, guarantees were issued by Martifer Metallic Constructions to its subsidiaries outside Portugal for the issuance of local bank
guarantees.
As EPC contracts entered into by Martifer Solar to build solar parks oblige it and / or associate companies to provide certain
guarantees, amongst which, concerning the quality of the materials and design, the photovoltaic facilities, the performance ratios
and the power output of the installed photovoltaic modules, Martifer SGPS has agreed to endow Martifer Solar and / or its associate
companies with the necessary means to fully comply with these contractual obligations. Martifer Solar is presently considered to
have the capacity to support its own commitments, without recourse to the Holding Company.
The amount of the Martifer Solar, SA commitments relates to guarantees provided for the development and construction of solar parks.

On 27 November was signed the renegotiation agreement of the agreement for the ‘Attribution of Energy Injection Capacity to the
National Electricity Grid for Electrical Energy produced at Wind Parks’ celebrated between Ventinveste S.A. and the Portuguese
th
Authorities (Direcção Geral de Energia e Geologia (DGEG) on 18 September 2007 was signed. This agreement allowed the
change in the society structure and the complete separation between the industrial cluster and the wind cluster. Regarding the
industrial commitments, negotiations with DGEG allowed for the exoneration of Martifer Group of all investment and job creation
obligations in the industrial cluster. It was also agreed that all the principles upon which the research financing to be determined by
the Ministry of Economy and Innovation (through the Innovation Fund) would be definitely formalized.
In 2015, following the reinforcement of guarantees foreseen in Martifer Group’s debt restructuring contract, a reinforcement of
guarantees was made with the financing banks and the holding. In this contract is foreseen that the sale of some assets will be
used for the amortization of the existent bank debt.

knowledge available at the financial statements’ approval date and the information available at that time.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared for appreciation and approval by the annual Shareholder’s
th
General Meeting. The Board of Directors has approved them for issuance, on 6 April 2016 and believes that these will be
approved without any changes.
MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES, JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The main accounting policies, judgements and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s individual financial statements
for the years presented are as follows:
i) Financial investments
The equity holdings in Group and associated companies are registered at acquisition cost. An evaluation of the investments in
Group and associated companies is performed when there are signs that the asset may be impaired, being registered as expense
the impairment losses that may arise.
Subsidiaries are all the entities (including entities with special purposes) on which Martifer SGPS has the power to decide on
financial or operational policies, to which is usually associated the control, direct or indirect, of more than half of voting rights.
Associates are entities on which Martifer owns between 20 % and 50 % of voting rights, or on which Martifer has a significant
influence on the definition of the financial and operational policies.
ii) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired by the Company are stated at their acquisition cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses, and are only recognized if it is probable that future economic benefits will flow from them to the Company, their value can be
reliably measured and if they are controlled by the Company.
Intangible assets comprise mainly software and other industrial property rights, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a
3 year period.
iii) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible assets are recorded at their acquisition cost, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
13
The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful lives:
Office equipment
4 years
3 to 5 years
Maintenance and repair costs that neither increase the useful life nor create significant improvements in tangible fixed assets are
recognized as costs in the year in which they are incurred.
iv) Financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the Company is a contractual party to the instrument.
a) Financial instruments:
The Company classifies financial assets in the following categories: ‘Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’,
‘Borrowings and receivables’, ‘Held-to-maturity investments’ and ‘Available-for-sale financial assets’. The classification depends on
the intention inherent to the investment’s acquisition.
The classification is made at the initial recognition date and re-appreciated on a quarterly basis.
 Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss: this category is divided into two sub-categories: ‘financial assets classified
as held for trading’ and ‘financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss’. A financial asset is classified under this
category, namely, if it is acquired for the purpose of selling it in the short term. Derivatives are also classified as instruments
held for trading, except if designated as an effective hedging instrument. Financial instruments in this category are classified
as current if they are held for trading or if it is expected that they are going to be realized within twelve months from the
balance sheet date;
 Held-to-maturity investments: this category includes financial assets, non-derivative, with fixed or variable reimbursements
with a fixed maturity, and which the Board of Directors intends to hold to maturity
 Available-for-sale financial assets: these include financial assets, non-derivative, that are designated as available-for-sale or
those that are not and cannot be classified in the preceding categories. This category is classified as non-current, unless the
Board of Directors has the intention to sell the investment within 12 months from the balance sheet date.
Held-to-maturity investments are classified as non-current investments, unless their maturity is less than a year from the balance
sheet date. Financial assets designated by the Group at fair value through profit or loss are classified as current.
All purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognized on the trade date, irrespective of the date of the financial settlement.
These financial assets are initially measured at cost, which is the consideration paid for them, and include transaction costs in the
case of available-for-sale investments.
After the initial recognition, financial assets valued at fair value through profit or loss and the available-for-sale investments are
re-valued at their fair values with reference to their market value at the balance sheet date (measured by their quoted price or
through an independent valuation), without regard for any transaction costs that may be incurred until their sale. Financial assets
not quoted and in respect of which it is not possible to reliably estimate their fair value, are maintained at acquisition cost less
impairment losses.
Gains and losses resulting from a change in the fair value of the ‘available–for-sale financial assets’ are recognized directly in
equity, under the caption Fair value reserves until the investment is sold, received or in any way alienated, or until the fair value of
the investment falls below the acquisition cost and this corresponds to an imparity, at which moment the accumulated gain or loss
is recognized in the income statement.
Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of ‘Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ are recognized in
the income statement, under the caption ‘Gains/losses in financial assets’.
‘Held-to-maturity investments’ are recorded at their amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, net of capital
repayments and interest received.
Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, as laid down by IAS 27, are valued at acquisition cost net of impairment losses.
b) Trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivable amounts have no implicit interest and are recorded at their nominal value less any impairment losses,
recognized in the allowance account ‘Accumulated Impairment losses’, in order to reflect their net realization value.
c) Borrowings
Borrowings are recorded as liabilities at the nominal value received, net of up-front fees and commissions relating to the issuance
of these instruments. Financial expenses are calculated based on the effective interest rate and are recorded in the income
statement on an accruals basis.
d) Trade and other payables
Accounts payable, which do not bear interest, are recorded at their nominal value which is substantially equivalent to their fair value.
e) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified based on their contractual substance. The Company classifies as equity
instruments those contracts that evidence a residual interest of the Group in a group of assets after deducting a group of liabilities.
f) Derivatives
The Company uses derivative instruments solely to manage its exposure to financial risks by hedging these, and not with a
trading objective. The use of derivative instruments has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
The derivative instruments used by the Company, classified as cash-flows hedges, are exclusively related to the hedging of
interest rates on loans obtained. The loan amount, interest maturity and loan reimbursement plans inherent to the hedging
instrument are in all respects similar to the established conditions for the contracted loans, resulting in perfect hedges.
Interest rate derivatives (Cash-flow hedges) are initially recorded at cost, if any, and subsequently re-valued at their fair value.
The portion of the changes in the fair value of derivatives effectively covered are deferred in the statement of comprehensive
income in the caption ‘Fair value reserves – Derivatives’, being transferred to the income statement in the same period that the
hedge instrument affects the income statement. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the
income statement, when determined.
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold. When a hedging instrument no longer qualifies
for hedge accounting the cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in the statement of comprehensive income in the caption ‘ Fair
value reserves – Derivatives’ is transferred to the income statement for the period and the subsequent revaluations of the
derivative are also recorded in the income statement.
v) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks, term deposits and other treasury operations with a maturity under
three months, readily convertible to a known amount of cash, and which are subject to insignificant value changes.
vi) Revenue recognition and accrual based accounting
Revenue and expenses are recorded in the period to which they relate, regardless of their date of payment or receipt. The captions
of ‘Other accounts receivable’, ‘Deferred expenses’ and ‘Other accounts payable’ include expenses and income relating to the
current period, where payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in the current period but
which relate to future periods.
Dividends from investments are recognized when the Company’s right to receive them has been established.
Interest revenue is accrued on a time basis, with reference to the principal outstanding and the effective interest rate applicable for
the operations.
13
vii) Balances and transactions expressed in foreign currency
All the assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency, using the official exchange
rate at the reporting date. The exchange differences, favourable or unfavourable, originating from the differences between the
exchange rates at the transaction dates and those used at the collection, payment or at the balance sheet date, are recognized at
their gross amount as gains and losses in the income statement.
viii) Income Taxes
The Income tax charge for the period includes current and deferred tax, in accordance with IAS 12. Current tax is calculated based
on the taxable profit, in accordance with the local tax laws applicable to the location where the Company has its registered office.
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial
statements and the corresponding tax base used in the calculation of taxable profit as well as in respect of some fiscal credits
attributed to the Company, and it is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates and based on the tax legislation expected to apply in the period in
which the differences reverse, and evaluated annually using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at each balance sheet date.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognized to extent that there is a reasonable probability that taxable profits will be available
against which to offset them. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
The deferred tax amount that results from transactions or events recognized directly in equity is registered directly in equity as well,
not affecting the net income for the period.
ix) Interest charges on borrowings
Borrowing costs incurred with borrowings are recorded in the income statement on the accrual basis.
x) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when, and only when, the Group has an existing obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past
event, it is probable that the Group will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the
said obligation. These provisions are reviewed at each balance date and are adjusted to reflect the best estimate at that date,
taking into consideration all the risks and uncertainties inherent to such estimates. When a provision is determined using the future
cash flows estimated to settle the existing obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
xi) Impairment of assets
The Company reviews the carrying amounts of its assets at each balance sheet date or whenever there is any indication (an event
or alteration of circumstances) that these assets may have suffered an impairment loss. When the asset carrying amount is greater
than its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognized and recorded in the caption ‘Provisions and impairment losses’. The
recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less selling costs and value in use. The fair value less selling costs is the amount that
can be obtained in an arms-length transaction. Value in use is calculated by assessing the estimated future cash flows to be generated
by the asset and its residual value, all discounted to their present value. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount
of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The reversal of impairment losses recorded in previous years is recognized when the underlying reasons that caused that entry are
no longer applicable and, consequently, the asset is no longer impaired. The reversal of impairment losses is recognized in the
income statement as an operational result. However, the reversal of an impairment loss is only recognised up to the amount that
would be recorded using the historical cost, or the revalued amount, net of amortization and depreciation, if the impairment loss had
not been recorded in previous years.
xii) Employee benefits
Variable remunerations
According to the statutes of some Group companies, the shareholders of those companies approved at the General Meeting or a
Remuneration Committee elected by shareholders, establish the fixed and variable remuneration to be distributed to members of
governing bodies. Bonus payments are recorded in the period to which they relate.
xiii) Statement of financial positions presentation
Assets to be realized and liabilities to be settled twelve months after the reporting date are classified as non-currents. Likewise,
given their nature, ‘Deferred tax’ and ‘Provisions’ are classified as non-current on the statement of financial position.
xiv) Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements. Instead, they are disclosed in the notes to the financial
statements, unless the probability of a cash outflow is remote.
Contingent assets are not recorded in the financial statements but are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements when future
economic benefits are probable.
xv) Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement is prepared, using the direct method, in accordance with IAS 7. The Company classifies as ‘Cash and
cash equivalents’ treasury operations which mature in less than three months, readily convertible to a known amount of cash, and
which are subject to insignificant value changes.
The cash flow statement is classified by operating, investing and financing activities. Operating activities include cash receipts from
clients, cash payments to suppliers, cash payments to and on behalf of employees and other operating activities’ payments and
receipts. Investing activities’ cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts related with the acquisitions and sales of
tangible and intangible assets.
Financing activities’ cash flows include, essentially, payments and receipts of loans and borrowings, financial lease contracts and
dividend payments.
xvi) Subsequent events
Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional information about conditions existing at the balance sheet date
(adjusting events), are recognized in the financial statements. Events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide
information on conditions occurring after the balance sheet date (non-adjusting events), if material, are disclosed in the notes to the
financial statements.
xvii) Judgements and estimates
In preparing the financial statements the Board of Directors used its best knowledge and accumulated experience of past and
current events in making certain assumptions as to future events.
st
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements for the periods ended on 31 December 2015 and
2014 include:




Impairment analysis of financial assets;
Recording of provisions and impairment losses;
Fair value of financial instruments; and
Recognition of deferred tax assets in respect of reportable tax losses.
Estimates used are based on the best information available during the preparation of the financial statements. However, events
may occur in subsequent periods that, not being foreseeable, were not considered in these estimates. Changes to the estimates
that occur after the date of these financial statements, will be recognized in net income, in accordance with IAS 8, using the
prospective methodology.
13
xviii) Financial risk management
Uncertainty, a characteristic of the financial markets, translates into a number of risks to which the activities of the Martifer Group
are exposed, namely price risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
a) Currency risk
Currency risk is the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from the changes in the foreign exchange rates between
different currencies. The Company’s exposure to currency risk results from the existence of foreign based subsidiaries in countries
with a currency other than the Euro and of transactions between these subsidiaries and other Group companies and the existence
of transactions made by companies operating in currency other than the reporting currency of the Group.
The currency risk management policy of the Company aims to reduce the sensitivity of its income statement to foreign exchange
rate variations.
The exposure to currency risk results mainly from the operational activities (in which the gains, earnings, assets and liabilities are
expressed in currency other than the reporting currency), from the operations performed between these subsidiaries and other
companies and the existence of operations performed by operational companies in a currency different from the reporting currency.
b) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges in loans borrowings obtained as a result of changes in
market interest rate levels.
The Company relies on external financing to fund its activity and it is exposed to interest rate risk as a significant part of its
borrowings are indexed to market interest rates.
In the more significant long term loans the Company relies on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to hedge
exposure to interest rate risk on these loans. The amounts, interest due dates and repayment schedules of the interest rate
derivatives are identical to those of the loans they hedge and, as such, these derivatives are considered perfect hedges.
During 2015, the reference interest rates in the euro area remained at very low levels, even reaching negative values at the end of the
year. According to the European Central Bank projections published on March 216 (“March 2016 ECB staff macroeconomic projections
for the euro area”), rates should remain at very low levels during 2016 and 2017, with a modest growth expected for 2018.
th
premium rates (spread) to very competitive values, allowing for a lower exposure to interest rate risk. This change in the bank
st
financing pricing took effect as from 1 January 2015. This factor, together with the expected stability in the reference rates
contribute for Martifer’s current low exposure to interest rate risk.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk reflects the prospect of the Company and the Group not satisfying their financial responsibilities with the available
financial resources.
The main objective of liquidity risk management policy is to ensure that the Group has at its disposal at any time the sufficient
financial resources to meet its responsibilities and proceed with strategy outlined, honouring all commitments with third parties,
through proper management of the relation cost - maturity of debt.
As mentioned above, at the end of 2015, the Group restructured its debt with financial institutions, through the rescheduling of bank
at the same time, to allow the cash surpluses to be sufficient to comply with its responsibilities.
st
As a consequence of the previously mentioned measures, it is verifiable that, on 31 December 2015, the Current Assets largely
The financial management monitors the implementation of risk management policies set by the management to ensure that the
economic and financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with such policies.
d) Credit risk
The Company’s credit risk results fundamentally from its relationship with financial institutions, occurring within the scope of its
normal activity, associated with the potential default, by the financial institutions, with which it has contracted, in the regular course
of business, term deposits, current accounts and derivatives.
To mitigate this risk, the Company diversifies its counterparties, to avoid an excessive concentration of credit risk, and privileges the
contracting of less complex financial instruments in detriment of instruments which structure is not fully known.

the operational activity (see Note 11).

Impairment tests for various financial assets of the company have been prepared in accordance with the Discounted Cash Flow
evaluation model (DCF). The values of these evaluations are determined by past performance and the expectation of market
development, with future cash-flow projections, for a five year period, being drawn up for each of the businesses, based on
medium/long term plans approved by the Board of Directors.
These estimates were made considering a discount rate and a growth rate as mentioned on Note 11.

In 2015, Martifer SGPS, S.A. is subject to corporate income tax (IRC) at the normal rate of 21 %, increased by the municipal
surcharge of up to 1.5% of the taxable profit.
Additionally, when the taxable profit subject to corporate income tax is between 1,500,000 euros and 7,500,000 euros there is an
additional state surcharge of 3 %, for the amount between 7,500,000 euros and 35,000,000 euros applies a tax rate of 5 %, for the
amount above 35,000,000 euros applies a tax rate of 7 %.
In terms of article 88 of the Corporate Tax Code, the company is, additionally, subject to autonomous tax over a number of
expenses, at the rates laid down in the said Code.
Since January 2011, Martifer SGPS, SA is covered by the “RETGS”, which comprises companies in which it holds, directly or
indirectly, at least 75 % of its capital and meet simultaneously with the other conditions set by that mechanism. The remaining
Martifer Group companies, not covered by the special tax mechanism, are taxed individually, based on their taxable profit and at the
applicable tax rates.
In accordance with the legislation in force, tax declarations remain subject to review and adjustment by the tax authorities during a
period of four years (five years for social security), except when there are tax losses, fiscal benefits were conceded, or inspections,
claims or impugnations are underway, in which cases, depending on the circumstances, the period is extended or suspended.
Consequently, the tax declarations for the years 2012 through 2015 may be subject to review.
The payment of 36 instalments regarding the IRC 2013 in the total amount of 435.187 euros, and that on noncurrent liabilities is
considered 290,125.18 euros, is underway based on an agreement with the Tax Authority.
The Board of Directors believes that any adjustments resulting from reviews/inspections by the tax authorities will have no
st
significant impact on the financial statements on 31 December 2014.
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Martifer SGPS has issued solely ordinary shares so there are no special dividends or voting rights.
Martifer has a single type of potentially dilutive ordinary share: stock options. To calculate the diluted earnings per share it is
necessary to determine whether these options, regardless of whether they may or not be exercised, have a dilutive effect, which
occurs when the option exercise price is lower than the quoted share price. Considering that Martifer’s quoted share price averaged
st
st
0.29 euros between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015, which is lower than the option exercise price (3.84 euros), the latter
can be considered non-dilutive as their exercising would result in a reduction in the ordinary shares in circulation.
st
Hence, on 31 December 2015 there is no difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share calculation.
Martifer SGPS SA’s share capital is represented by 100,000,000 ordinary shares, totally subscribed and realized, representing a
share capital of Euro 50,000,000.
The weighted average number of shares in circulation is reduced in 2,215,910 shares, corresponding to own shares acquired by
Martifer SGPS.
st
On 31 December 2015 and 2014, the calculation of earnings per share, basic and diluted, may be demonstrated as follows:

The financial investments are measured as to its recoverable amount whenever there are impairment indicators, being considered
for evidence whenever the equity of subsidiaries (considering the consolidated equity whenever applicable) is lower than their
acquisition value. Based on this principle, we identified indicators of impairment in the shareholdings in Martifer Metallic
13
Constructions, SGPS, S.A., in Martifer Renewables SGPS, S.A. and in Martifer Solar, SGPS, S.A.. The impairment tests performed
considered the following assumptions:
For the shareholdings of Martifer Metallic Constructions, SGPS, S.A., it was considered adequate to assess its recoverable
amount based on the value in use, using a discounted cash flow method, supported by the business plans drawn by the people
in charge of the business unit and approved by the respective Board of Directors and using different discount rates according
to the risks inherent to each business.

st

In the situations where impairment was recorded, the book value was adjusted for the use value resulting from the impairment
test.

For Martifer Renewables, SGPS, S.A. and Martifer Solar, SGPS, S.A., the Group considers as a valid indicator consolidated
Equity, and in this way, impairments were recorded in 152,341,778 euros and 15,604,044 euros respectively. When comparing
with the impairments recorded in 2014, following the impairments recorded in 2015, in this period a reversal of 3,174,976 euros
was recorded to Martifer Renewables SGPS, S.A. and a reinforcement of impairment of 3,174,976 for Martifer Solar, SGPS,
S.A.. this principle underlies the fact that Martifer Renewables SGPS, S.A. and Martifer Solar, SGPS, S.A. have a relatively low
turnover, considering their assets, and include in their consolidated, mainly assets related to wind farms and solar projects
under development and to which, when applicable, their realisable value has been measured and their impairments registered
and so the consolidated equity already reflects these adjustments.
Supplementary capital doesn’t bear interests or repayment term.

The debt restructuring agreement made with the financial institution made possible the adequacy of the maturity of the inflows in the
Group’s operational activity to the (divestment) investment to the outflows in the financing activity, through the rescheduling of
maturities over time, enlarging the average debt maturity to make it more coincident with the permanence degree of the long term
st
assets and a maturity which allows the cash surpluses to be enough to comply with its needs. Therefore, on 31 December 2015,

All the shares issued by Martifer have been admitted to trading on the Euronext Lisbon regulated market, corresponding to ISIN
Code PTMFR0AM0003, trading under the Mnemo Code MAR.
The itemized information on the distribution of share capital by the reference shareholders is present in Section 7, Part I of the
Corporate Governance Report.
2. Restrictions on transfer and ownership of shares
There are neither restrictions on the free transfer of the Company’s shares, nor shareholders holding special rights. Consequently,
all shares admitted to trading on the stock exchange are freely transmissible in accordance with the normal regulations applicable.
3. Own shares
During 2015, no transactions involving own shares occurred. Consequently, at 31 December 2015 the Company held, as it did in

a change in shareholder control over the Company due to a takeover bid.
Similarly, the Company has not adopted, via the approval of any statutory provisions or other measures adopted by the Company,
rules or regulations designed to prevent the success of takeover bids.

12. Restrictions on the right to vote
The Company Articles of Association do not establish any percentage or maximum limit regarding the exercising of voting rights by
any shareholder. The Company has not issued preference shares without voting rights.
The Shareholders’ General Meeting is, therefore, comprised of shareholders holding Martifer shares, each share carrying one vote.
Shareholders can participate provided they hold shares, at the least, up to five days prior to the date set for the General Meeting,
and provided these shares are registered in their name in securities’ accounts.
Up to three days prior to the date set for the General Meeting, a certificate, issued by the relevant entity, shall be presented to the
Company as proof of ownership of the shares. In the event of suspension of the General Meeting, the Company does not require
the blockage of the shares for the full suspension period; instead, compliance with the ordinary notice period for the first meeting
suffices.
Shareholders may be represented at Shareholders’ General Meetings by way of a written proxy mandate addressed to the
Chairman of the General Meeting Board. Said mandate may also be sent by electronic mail in accordance with the respective
Shareholders’ General Meeting convening notice instructions.
Shareholders may also exercise their vote by correspondence on all matters subject to approval at the General Meeting.
The proposals to be submitted for approval at the General Meeting, as well as the other information necessary for the preparation
and participation at said meetings are made available to the shareholders up to 21 days prior to date of the General Meeting, at
Martifer’s registered office and in the Company’s Website. Such documentation can be consulted in the Company’s Website at
http://www.martifer.pt/. In addition to the Company’s Website, said documentation is also made available to shareholders, for
consultation, at the company’s registered office during working hours, as well as in the CMVM’s Information Disclosure System
(www.cmvm.pt), as from the date the convening notice is issued. The Company’s Website also discloses the minutes of the
General Meetings within five days following said meetings.
Martifer has been applying and implementing measures to promote and encourage shareholder participation in general meetings:
−
Postal vote;
−
Availability of proxy letters and voting ballots in the Company’s Website;
−
Disclosure in the Website, in Portuguese and English languages, of the general meeting convening notice, the different forms of
voting and the procedures to adopt for correspondence voting or for voting through a proxy;
−
Disclosure in the Website, in Portuguese and English languages, of the preparatory documentation relating to the various points
on the Agenda;
−
The creation of an internet email address, publicised in the convening notice, exclusively dedicated to the general meeting, in
order to facilitate the clarification of any doubts.

13. Details of the maximum percentage of voting rights that may be exercised by a single
shareholder or by shareholders that are in any relationship as set out in no. 1 of Article 20
There is no restriction on the number of votes that can be held or exercised by a single shareholder or group of shareholders.
14. Shareholders' resolutions that, imposed by the articles of association, may only be
taken with a qualified majority
Article 18 of the Company’s Articles of Association establishes both for a first or second call notice, the rule of a simple majority of
the votes issued to pass resolutions, unless otherwise foreseen in the CCC or in the Articles of Association.
The only exception to this rule relates to the provision in the Company’s Articles of Association that sets a qualified majority of twothirds of the votes counted for the passing of resolutions relating to the unfair dismissal of directors.
II. MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION
a) Composition
15. Details of the corporate governance model adopted
Martifer’s corporate governance structure comprises a Board of Directors, a Supervisory Board and a Statutory Auditor, all elected
at Shareholders’ General Meetings. For the term of office corresponding to the triennium 2015-2017, the Board of Directors
delegated powers governing the day-to-day affairs of the Company to an Executive Committee, under the terms and within the
limits defined in Point 21.1 below.
The members comprising the corporate bodies, the General Meeting Board and the Remuneration Setting Committee were elected
for a triennium (2012-2014). The Remuneration Setting Committee, elected at a Shareholders’ General Meeting, is responsible for
setting the remuneration of the members of the Company’s corporate bodies as well as for defining the general guidelines to be
observed in objectively setting the amounts.
16. Articles of association rules on the procedural and material requirements governing the
appointment and replacement of members of the Board of Directors
The members of the Board of Directors are proposed and elected every third year by the Shareholders at a Shareholders’ General
Meeting or co-opted by the Board of Directors, subject to ratification at the General Meeting, their re-election being permitted once
or more than once.
In accordance with the Articles of Association, a member of the management board may be designated by a minimum number of
Shareholders, holding at least 10% of the share capital, who voted against the proposal to elect the directors passed.
The Board of Directors designates the Chairman and Vice Chairman from amongst its members and, to the extent it considers
pertinent and appropriate, constitutes an Executive Committee or delegates powers to executive directors.
The substitution of directors is made as set forth in Article 393 of the CCC. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association,
for the purposes of substituting directors under no. 1 of said Article of the CCC, absence is qualified as permanent when, without
acceptable justification to the management body, a director is absent from more than five meetings, consecutive or not.

a General Meeting.
The term of office of the members nominated to the Board of Directors is 3 calendar years and there are no restrictions regarding
their re-election. The members of the Board of Directors are considered vested as soon as they are elected and remain in office
until replaced by newly elected directors.
At 31 December 2015, the Board of Directors was composed of 6 members, elected at the Company’s General Meeting for a three
calendar year term of office, ending on 31 December 2017.

b) Functioning
22. Availability and place where rules on the functioning of the Board of Directors may be viewed
The Board of Directors’ Organisational and Functional Regulation is presented in Martifer’s Website at – www.martifer.pt (Tab:
Investors, Section: Corporate Governance/Articles of Association).
23. The number of meetings held and the attendance report for each member of the Board
of Directors
The Board of Directors meets regularly, once per quarter and, as defined in the Articles of Association and in the respective
Regulation, whenever the Chairman or two board members call a meeting; valid resolutions being passed with the attendance or
representation of a majority of its members.
Without prejudice to the above and considering the fact that the Chairman of the Board of Directors accumulates the position of
President of the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors’ Regulation sets forth that the non executive directors may, even so,
conduct meetings, when such meeting is called by a non-executive director on his own initiative or at the request of any two of
those directors, for the purposes of exercising their powers of monitoring, supervising and appraising the activity of the members to
whom the Board of Directors delegated powers.
To that end, and in order to safeguard the exercising, in an independent and informed manner, of the powers of the non-executive
directors referred to in the previous paragraph, the following mechanisms and procedures were instituted by the Board of Directors
and enshrined in its Regulation:
(i)
obligation to deliver to the directors sans delegated powers all the information considered necessary or convenient and that is
requested by them of the Company or of any of the directors with delegated powers;
(ii) the satisfaction of the requests of directors with no delegated powers shall be made in an appropriate and timely manner;
(iii) possibility of any non-executive director requesting the calling of meetings so that non-executive directors can exercise the
powers attributed to them; and
(iv) the specialised committees with monitoring, supervisory and appraisal competencies over the activities of the directors with
delegated powers shall be presided and largely composed of directors with no delegated powers.
During the 2015 financial year, no constraints were detected regarding the management and operations of the Company; it can
therefore be considered that the mechanism that assures the coordination of the work of the non-executive directors is safeguarded.
In 2015, the Board of Directors met fourteen times. The minutes are written up and signed by the Directors and the Company
Secretary and recorded in the respective minute book, with copies also being sent to the Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

The attendance level of each Director at said meetings, in the conduct of his respective duties, was as follows:

24. Competent Corporate Boards undertaking the performance appraisal of executive directors
The Company’s Corporate Governance Committee is composed of non-executive members of the Company’s Board of Directors
and presided over by an independent director that meets all the independence and compatibility requirements foreseen in Point
18.1 of Annex I of the 4/2013 Regulation of the CMVM and in Recommendation II.1.7 of the CMVM (2013). This Committee has,

Directors, as well as that of the various committees in existence.

of the Board of Directors, endeavouring towards a convergence of the interests of the directors, the remaining corporate bodies and
the managers with the interests of the Company, promoting a long-term perspective.
25. Predefined criteria for assessing executive directors' performance
Directors’ performance is appraised based on the principles listed in the Remuneration Policy Statement. The remuneration policy
and the remuneration of the Company’s Corporate Bodies is reviewed annually and submitted for approval at the Company’s
Annual Shareholders’ General Meeting.
The remuneration policy is oriented along principles and criteria based on the duties carried out, the degree of complexity and
responsibility assumed, the alignment of the interests of the management board members with the interests of the company, the
performance appraisal, the economic situation of the company and general market conditions for equivalent situations, as better set
out in Point 70 below.
26. The availability of each member of the Board of Directors and details of the positions held

participate in the meetings of the bodies they are a part of (Board of Directors, Risk Committee Ethics and Conduct Committee and

simultaneously in other companies, inside and outside the Group, and other relevant
activities undertaken
All the members of the Supervisory Board demonstrated throughout the 2015 financial year full availability to exercise the functions
attributed to them, having regularly attended meetings called as well as being present whenever such presence was considered convenient.
In so far as the activities of the members of the Supervisory Board are concerned, all the members of the Supervisory Board are
statutory auditors and develop their activity in different entities, as described in the curricula presented in the annexes of this report,
endowing this board with important operational knowledge of the Company’s business areas.
The President is adequately supported by the remaining members of the Supervisory Board.
Within the scope of the most relevant activities of the members of the Supervisory Council we refer to the information contained in
Point 33.
c) Powers and duties
37. Description of the procedures and criteria applicable to the supervisory body for the
purposes of hiring additional services from the external auditor
The Company’s External Auditor has been the company PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados, SROC, SA (PwC) since the 2010
financial period. The change in External Auditors followed a market consultation that year, which was the object of analysis and
assessment by the Supervisory Board.
Services falling outside the statutory and external audit scope requested by Martifer Group companies from the External Auditor
and from other entities belonging to the same network, in 2015, do not attain relevant amounts. The Supervisory Board approved
the engagement of services outside the scope of the statutory and external audit from the External Auditor, considering that these
services, in addition to not exceeding a relative weight in excess of 30% of the total services rendered to the Company, do not
impair the External Auditors’ independence.
Additionally, any new service to be rendered by PwC and its companies (national or international) to the Martifer Group is subject to
the prior approval of both the management of Martifer and the PwC Partner responsible for the PwC work at the Martifer Group,
within the scope of its quality control system.
Martifer’s Supervisory Board, within the scope of its supervisory duties vis-à-vis the company’s activity, has analytical and appraisal
responsibilities over the more significant aspects of the relationship with the External Auditor, namely in aspects relating to the
independence of its work. During 2015, the Company’s Supervisory Board appraised the activity carried out by the External Auditor,
having concluded that it was conducted in a manner consistent with applicable regulations and norms, and that it had acted with
technical rigor, transparency and elegance.
The Supervisory Board furthermore reflects, whenever necessary or adequate in function of developments at the Company or the
market configuration in general, on the adequacy of the External Auditor vis-à-vis the performance of the duties attributed to it.
38. Other duties of the supervisory body
In addition to the duties described in the previous point, the Supervisory Board has the powers set forth in law and in the Articles of
Association, amongst others, those relating to the monitoring of the Company’s operations, the compliance with the applicable
legislation, Articles of Association and regulations, as well as to issue opinions on the budget, the balance sheet, the inventories
and the annual financial statements.
I
Hence, in exercising its powers and carrying out its duties, the Supervisory Board proposes to the General Meeting:
−
−
Nominates the Company’s effective and alternate Statutory Auditors;
−
−
−
−
−
−
Examines, whenever it considers convenient and with regularity, the Company's bookkeeping;
Monitors the Statutory Auditors’ independence, namely in respect of the rendering of additional services and the scope of these,
and in respect of the statutory audit of the Company’s financial statements;
Monitors the Company’s activity and compliance with the applicable laws, Articles of Association and regulations;
Represents or arranges to represent itself at the Board of Directors’ meetings whenever it considers such presence convenient;
Requests the call of the Shareholders’ General Meeting whenever it considers such call convenient;
Examines situations periodically presented to it by the Board of Directors during its term of office;
Issues opinions on the budget, the balance sheet, the inventories and the annual accounts.
The Supervisory Board is also responsible for representing the Company vis-à-vis the External Auditor, and for:
−
−
−
proposing the supplier of these services and the respective remuneration;
−
proposing the destitution of the External Auditor with just cause.
ensuring that conditions adequate for the rendering of these services are made available at the Company;
annually appraising the services rendered as well as for acting as the Company’s go-between, receiving, simultaneously with
the Board of Directors, the respective reports; and
Finally, Martifer’s Supervisory Board is responsible for inspecting and assessing the effectiveness of the risk management systems
and monitoring of the activity of internal audit, including the functioning of the systems of internal control and risk management, both
the object of regular monitoring and evaluation by the Supervisory Board within the scope of its functional and legal powers, as can
be inferred from the minutes of the meetings and the annual report and opinion issued by the Supervisory Board.

the CMVM
The Company’s External Auditor is the company PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados, SROC, SA (PwC) registered under no.
9077 at the Comissão de Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (CMVM), pursuant to a contract initially celebrated for that financial year,
and which has been extended to the 2015 financial year.
PwC has, since 2010, been represented by Mr Hermínio António Paulos Afonso.
43. Indication of the number of years that the external auditor and respective partner that
represents same in carrying out these duties have consecutively carried out duties at the
company and/or group
As better described in the previous point, the External Auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados, SROC, Lda. and the
respective statutory auditor partner representing the prior in the conduct of its duties, have exercised said duties consecutively at
the Company since 2010, i.e. around 5 years.
44. Rotation policy and schedule of the external auditor and the respective partner that
represents said auditor in carrying out such duties
In so far as a rotation schedule of the External Auditor is concerned, the Martifer Group has no formal policy regarding External
Auditor rotation.
The Supervisory Board carries out an annual assessment of the External Auditor’s work, ensuring compliance with those laid down
in Article 54 of Decree-law no. 487/99, of 16 November (amended by Decree-law no. 224/2008, of 20 November), relating to the
rotation of the partner responsible for the execution of the work.
Nevertheless, both the External Auditor and its partner, a Statutory Auditor representing it in the carrying out of said duties, are still
in a second term of office in the Company, and therefore complying with the rules presently in force.
I
45. Details of the Board responsible for assessing the external auditor and the regular
intervals when said assessment is carried out
The Supervisory Board, in the conduct of its functions, carries out an annual assessment of the External Auditor’s independence.
Additionally, the Supervisory Board, throughout each financial period and whenever necessary or adequate in function of
developments in the activity of the Company or the general market configuration, reflects on the adequacy of the External Auditor
vis-à-vis the conduct of its duties.
46. Details of services, other than auditing, carried out by the External Auditor for the
Company and/or companies in a control relationship and an indication of the internal
procedures for approving the recruitment of such services and a statement on the reasons
for said recruitment
In addition to auditing services, tax advisory services in respect of foreign companies and a due diligence in respect of an affiliate
were carried out for the Company and/or the Group’s companies.
The approval and recruitment of the services rendered by the External Auditor, other than the auditing services, was based on the
procedures described in Point 37, it being understood that said recruitment occurred due to the lack of internal resources at the
relevant company.
The Supervisory Board approved the engagement of services outside the scope of the statutory and external audit from the
External Auditor, considering that these services, in addition to not exceeding a relative weight in excess of 30% of the total
services rendered to the Company, do not impair the External Auditors’ independence.
Additionally, any new service to be rendered by PwC and its companies (national or international) to the Martifer Group is subject to
the prior approval of both the management of Martifer and the PwC Partner responsible for the PwC work at the Martifer Group,
within the scope of Martifer’ s quality control system.

C. INTERNAL ORGANISATION
I. ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
48. Rules governing amendment to the Articles of Association (Article 245-A/1/h))
Martifer’s Articles of Association do not contain special rules regulating amendments to the same; being, thus, applicable the rules
laid down in the CCC. Hence:
−
Constitutive quorum: the provisions laid down in Article 383 of the CCC apply. At a first meeting, for a Shareholders’ General
Meeting to pass resolutions on amendments to the Company’s Articles of Association, the presence, or representation, of
shareholders holding at least one third of the company’s share capital is required;
−
Deliberative quorum: the provisions laid down in Article 18 of the Articles of Association and Article 386, no. 3 of the CCC apply,
namely, corporate resolutions in a Shareholders’ General Meeting as to amendments to the Articles of Association are taken, at
a first or second meeting, by two thirds of the votes issued.
II. REPORTING OF IRREGULARITIES
49. Reporting means and policy on the reporting of irregularities in the company
The policy on the reporting of irregularities defines the Ethics and Conduct Committee as the entity responsible for the reception and
management of denunciations or reports of irregularities, without prejudice to the Supervisory Board’s own powers in this matter.
In complement to the Supervisory Board, the Committee pursues, applies and follows up on the procedures underlying the
denunciation of internal irregularities, affording the appropriate internal treatment to the denunciations and reporting of irregularities
and ensuring the rapid resolution of the facts denounced.
In this manner, Martifer Group seeks to create conditions that allow any employee to freely report his concerns on these matters to
the Ethics and Conduct Committee and to facilitate the early detection of irregular situations that, being practiced, could damage the
Martifer Group, as well as its stakeholders.
Any notification, reporting or denunciation of irregularities occurring internally at the Martifer Group is forwarded directly in a special
mail box, which can be accessed solely by the President of the Ethics and Conduct Committee. The anonymity and confidentiality
are assured whenever so requested in the report or denunciation. This channel was considered the most appropriate and
independent means for the reception of denunciations, without prejudice to those being received through the post.
I
The direct reporting of irregularities to the Supervisory Board, and all those that are of the exclusive competence of the Supervisory
Board, are likewise immediately reported to that body’s President by the President of the Ethics and Conduct Committee.
During 2015, no irregularities were reported to the Martifer Group’s Ethics and Conduct Committee.
The Company’s reporting and denunciation of irregularities policy is disclosed in the Company’s Website at http://www.martifer.pt/,
as well as in the Company’s intranet site.
Martifer’s reporting of irregularities policy applies to the entire Martifer Group perimeter.
III. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
50. Individuals, boards or committees responsible for the internal audit and / or
implementation of the internal control systems
Board of Directors
The risk policy is defined by the Board of Directors based on the analysis and measurement of risk, which also coordinates and
develops risk management processes so as to guarantee an integrated risk management streamlined with the strategy and
objectives of the Martifer Group.
Risk Committee
Martifer’s Risk Committee, which constitutes a Specialised Committee at the service of the Board of Directors, has as its main
attributions the compliance with the guiding principles subjacent to Martifer Group Risk policy, aiding the Board of Directors with the
setting of the Company’s strategic objectives in matters pertaining to the assumption of risk, issuing recommendations and
opinions, amongst others, on the definition of a Risk Policy for the Martifer Group and as to the creation of risk identification,
monitoring, control and management systems of a (i) legal and contractual, (ii) financial, (iii) technical and operational, (iv)
commercial, (v) environmental, (vi) political and (vii) other nature.
The composition, functioning, attributions and powers of the Risk Committee are described in Point 29 above, and can be consulted
in the Company’s Website at http://www.martifer.pt/ (Tab: Investors, Section: Corporate Governance / Articles of Association).
Supervisory Board
The assessment of the risk management and control systems constitutes a matter which is the object of regular analysis and
discussion by Martifer’s Supervisory Board, within the scope of the framework of its legal powers.
External Audit
As part of its duties it evaluates the risks subjacent to the reliability and integrity of the accounting and financial information,
reporting on same to the Supervisory Board.
Internal Audit Department
Martifer has in its organisational structure an Internal Audit Department that carries out its activities with the purpose of assessing
the effectiveness and efficiency of the internal control system and of the business processes throughout the Martifer Group, in an
independent and systematic manner, that verifies whether the assets at Martifer Group level are duly recorded and sufficiently
protected against risks and losses, that examines and evaluates the accuracy, the quality and the application of operational,
I
accounting and financial controls, promoting effective control at a reasonable cost and proposing measures that reveal themselves
to be necessary to overcome potential weaknesses detected in the internal control systems.
Martifer’s internal audit department reports functionally to Mr. Jorge Bento Ribeiro Barbosa Farinha, a non-executive, independent
director sitting on the Company’s Board of Directors.
The scope of the audits to be conducted in order to assess the quality of the control processes that assure compliance with the
objectives of the Internal Control System, namely those that guarantee the efficiency of the operations, the reliability of the financial
and operational reports and the respect for the law and regulations, is defined annually. Internal control deficiencies are reported up
the hierarchy, the gravest matters being reported directly to the Board of Directors.
The activities of the Internal Audit Department, including the functioning of the internal control and risk management systems, are
regularly monitored by the Company’s Supervisory Board whilst supervisory body, within the scope of its functional powers, namely
those foreseen in paragraph i) of Article 420 of the CCC. It should be pointed out that the Company’s Supervisory Board meets
regularly, fully complying with all its duties and attributions, as can be inferred from the minutes of the meetings and from the
Supervisory Board’s annual report and opinion.
During 2015, due to the exit of some employees from the internal audit department, its activity was significantly reduced. However,
the company is currently taking active measures to, throughout 2016, endow the internal audit department with the resources
needed to fully comply with the roles attributed to it as an integral part of the Group’s organizational structure.
Planning and Management Control and Consolidation and Reporting Departments
Martifer also has a Planning and Management Control Department that, supported by the Company’s information systems
produces, monitors and analyses management information, raising questions at unit level.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared by Martifer’s Consolidation and Reporting Department, which guarantees
consistency in the application of the accounting policies adopted.
It should be highlighted that the risks subjacent to the reliability and integrity of the accounting and financial information are also
assessed and reported on as part of the activities of the Statutory and External Auditors.
It should also be pointed out that there is an Ethics and Conduct Code and a system for the reporting of irregularities, which fosters
Martifer Group’s control culture.
51. Details, even if through the inclusion of an organisational chart, of hierarchical and/or
functional dependency in relation to other boards or committees of the Company
Regarding hierarchical or functional dependency amongst the corporate bodies and departments responsible for the
implementation and monitoring of the internal control systems, better described in the preceding point:
−
The Risk Committee is a specialised committee constituted by the Board of Directors, formed primarily by non-executive
members of the Board of Directors and/or the Supervisory Board, and is chaired by an independent director;
−
−
The Supervisory Board is elected at the Company’s Shareholders’ General Meeting and is an independent body;
−
The Internal Audit Department reports functionally to an independent non-executive director of the Board of Directors –
Professor Jorge Bento Farinha;
−
The Planning and Management Control and the Consolidation and Reporting Departments both report to the Company’s Board
of Directors.
The External Auditor, proposed by the Supervisory Board, is elected at the Company’s Shareholders’ General Meeting and the
results of its activity are assessed by the Supervisory Board;
I
52. Other functional areas responsible for risk control
We consider that this point is already explained in detail in the preceding point and, therefore, refer thereto for the response to this point.
53. Details and description of the major economic, financial and legal risks to which the
company is exposed in pursuing its business activity
FINANCIAL RISKS
A) PRICE RISK
The volatility of the prices of raw material constitutes a risk for the Group, both in metallic constructions and in solar. The
antidumping measures/charges that the European Union decided to implement on steel and aluminium products with origin in China
brought a great uncertainty regarding price, which will affect the operational activity of the metallic constructions business area.
Concerning the market trend on solar panel prices, they kept constant; however, their variation may also influence the solar activity.
Martifer has sought to mitigate this risk the same way in both areas, by including clauses in the contracts with customers that allow
it to pass on raw-material price fluctuations and by negotiating fixed prices for large scale projects with its suppliers.
B) CURRENCY RISK
Currency risk has a strong correlation with the other types of risk, with highlight to its relation with countries’ risk, through the
evolution of economies and their impact in inflation and interest rates, and with credit risk, via currency fluctuations that may
jeopardize future financial flows, reflecting the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign
exchange rates between different currencies.
The Group’s internationalization forces it to be exposed to currency risk from different countries.
Exposure to currency risk results mainly from operational activities (in which expenses, income, assets and liabilities are expressed
in a currency other than the reporting currency of the Group), from transactions between these subsidiaries and other Group
companies and from the existence of transactions with external parties made by the operational companies in a currency other than
the reporting currency of the Group.
Concerning exchange rates’ hedging, hedges are sporadic as their cost is sometimes considered excessive in relation to the risk
level involved. However, whenever considered suitable, the Group contracts exchange rates hedging in order to cover the risk.
During 2015, as a result of the severe economic and financial crisis Angola has been facing, explained, in large part, by the
significant drop in oil prices, there was a huge shortage of tradable currency in the Angolan market, causing limitations in the
financial flows coming from this geography.
The Group has been soughing to mitigate this risk through financial instruments presented by its clients (e. g. letters of credit) in
order to maintain the regular financial flow.
C) INTEREST RATE RISK
I
The cost of financial debt contracted by the Group is indexed to short term base rates, reviewed with a year or less frequency, plus
a negotiated risk premium. Therefore, variations in interest rates may affect the Group’s results.
the Group faces a risk of fair value variation on these assets or liabilities, since every change in market rates involves an
opportunity cost. In the second case, such change has a direct impact on interest value, consequently causing cash variations.
During 2015, the reference interest rates in the euro area remained at very low levels, even reaching negative values at the end of
the year. According to the European Central Bank projections published on March 216 (“March 2016 ECB staff macroeconomic
projections for the euro area”), rates should remain at very low levels during 2016 and 2017, with a modest growth expected for
2018.
th
premium rates (spread) to very competitive values, allowing for a lower exposure to interest rate risk. This change in the bank
st
financing pricing took effect as from 1 January 2015. This factor, together with the expected stability in the reference rates
contribute for Martifer’s current low exposure to interest rate risk.

divided into three risk sources – client, supplier and external risk, which in turn are sub-divided into specific problems.
Under client risk one can identify, for example, issues at the contractual level, such as the lack of convergence in the interpretation
and application of the contractual dispositions, the distaste or dissatisfaction with the service / product and also the risk of nonpayment of the price stipulated following the delivery of the projects.
Under supplier risk, Martifer Construções, as a specialist in engineering projects, relies on subcontractors very often. If these fail in
the execution of their work the project’s delivery deadline cannot be met, in a domino effect. In other words, there is also a risk of

54. Description of the procedure for identification, assessment, monitoring, control and risk
management
RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Risk Management is one of the components of Martifer’s culture, being present in all management processes and representing a
responsibility of all managers and employees at the various levels of organisation.
Risk policy is defined by the Board of Directors based on the analysis and measurement of risk, which also coordinates and
develops risk management processes in order to guarantee an integrated risk management streamlined with the strategy and
objectives of the Group.
In parallel, Martifer continues to implement internal control and risk management procedures with the objective of reinforcing the
integrated risk management, establishing a strategy for the prevention and management of risk transversal to the Group, so as to reduce
exposure to risk and safeguard the value of the Group. The procedure is characterised, summarily, by the identification of the risks in
each business area, accompanied, in parallel, by the formalisation of an assessment, management, prevention and mitigation of risk
process, to be elaborated by the Company’s Board of Directors, supported by the Risk Committee.
Risk Management comprises the processes of identifying current and potential risks, analysing their possible impact on the
strategic objectives of the organisation and estimating the probability of their occurrence, in order to determine the best way to
manage exposure to these.
All these risks are duly identified, assessed and monitored, and it is the responsibility of the different structures in the company to
manage and/or mitigate them.
Risk Management at Martifer Group starts at the operational company level, with the identification, measurement and analysis of the
different risks to which it is subject, with special emphasis on risks of an operational and market nature, seeking to estimate the
probability of the occurrence of the various factors that determine such risks and their potential impact on the business of the Company
or activity in question.
Without prejudice to the definition of the risk strategy by Martifer’s Board of Directors, the persons responsible for the operations are
also responsible for the implementation of risk control mechanisms, which are scrutinised by the competent Financial, Tax and
Legal Departments.
The identification of the risks is a responsibility transversal to the different levels of the organisation, specific templates having
been created to identify and categorise the main risks in each Business Area, as well as the new risks that may arise as the
respective activities develop, including:
(i) economic and business risks,
(ii) financial risks, and
(iii) legal risks.
The Risk Committee is also responsible for the analysis and issuance of opinions, which are submitted to the Board of Directors on,
amongst others, new Group investments above certain amounts and new geographies for Martifer Group’s activities.
The efficiency of these mechanisms is periodically assessed by the Holding Company, through the Internal Audit Department,
during the execution of the audit plan covering the financial aspects, information systems, processes and conformity with the
procedures approved. This audit plan is prepared and developed annually, based on a prior assessment of the business risks, the
mechanisms and assessments of the internal audit department being monitored and verified by the Company’s Supervisory Board
within the scope of its functional powers.
I
The function of Planning and Management Control also promotes and supports the integration of risk management in the
companies’ planning and management control processes.
It is an objective of the Holding Company to obtain an integrated vision of the risks the Group faces in each of its different activities
or business areas and to guarantee the consistency of the resulting risk profile with that of the Group’s global strategy and, in
particular, to determine what it considers an acceptable risk level, given the structure of its capital.
To this effect, operations with the highest relevance and impact on Martifer Group, as well as those of a more financial nature are
directly assessed and validated by the Financial, Tax and Legal Departments at the Holding Company level, in line with the policies
and risk strategies set by management.
55. Core details on the internal control and risk management systems implemented in the
company regarding the procedure for reporting financial information (Article 245-A/1/m)
Concerning the release of financial information, the Martifer Group promotes strict cooperation amongst all the bodies, departments
and remaining participants in the process, so that the financial information is prepared in accordance with the legal requirements in

internal analysis, by the supervisory bodies and the External Auditor, is approved by the responsible corporate body and its
disclosure complies with all the legal requirements and recommendations, namely those of the CMVM.
In the financial information disclosure process we highlight:

the half-yearly and annual reports are sent for the review and approval of the Board of Directors. Subsequent to their approval, these

−
The Statutory Auditor carries out both an annual audit and a limited review at the half-year of the individual and consolidated
accounts, carried out in accordance with the Auditing Standards in force.

D. REMUNERATION
I. Power to establish
66. Details of the powers for establishing the remuneration of corporate boards, members
of the executive committee or chief executive and directors of the company
The remuneration policy and the remuneration of the Company’s Corporate Bodies are established by a Remuneration Setting
Committee, elected at the Shareholders’ General Meeting. This policy is reviewed annually and submitted for approval at the
Company’s Annual Shareholders’ General Meeting, where at least one representative of said Remuneration Setting Committee is
present.
The Remuneration Setting Committee’s activity is dedicated to the preparation of master guidelines and the determination of the
remuneration policy of the Company’s corporate bodies, to monitoring the execution of that policy and to guaranteeing the
alignment of the actions of those bodies with the interests of the Company.
The Remuneration Setting Committee has as its main powers:
−
Defining the remuneration policy of the Corporate Bodies of the Company, particularly of the executive members of the Board of
Directors, fixing the criteria to determine the variable component of the remuneration;
I
−
Determining the various components of the fixed and variable remuneration, possible benefits and complements, as well as the
annual remuneration payable to the members of Martifer’s Corporate Bodies;
−
Monitoring the performance of the executive members of the Board of Directors for the purposes of determining the variable
remuneration;
−
−
Monitoring the performance of the non-executive members of the Board of Directors;
Submitting, in an advisory capacity, an informative exposition on the company’s remuneration policy to the annual General
Meeting.
The Remuneration Setting Committee sporadically requests, if necessary, from Martifer’s internal departments (namely the Human
Resources Department, the Planning and Management Control Department and the Legal Department) specialised information and
data of a technical nature, amongst other, relating to the structure of the company, results of the Group and members and activities
of the corporate bodies. The information requested and received by the Committee is aimed at the compilation of a body of
information and technical data that permits the definition and implementation of the Group’s remuneration policy.
The information requested is provided free of charge, and the Committee has no need to hire persons, natural or legal, to carry out
its duties.
The External Auditor is also obliged to verify the application of the policies described and the remuneration systems of the
corporate bodies, being obliged to report any potential non-conformity detected to the Supervisory Board.
II. Remuneration Committee
67. Composition of the remuneration committee, including details of individuals or legal
persons recruited to provide services to said committee and a statement on the
independence of each member and advisor
The composition of the current Remuneration Setting Committee, elected at a Shareholders’ General Meeting for a three-year term
of office (2015-2017), is as follows:
PRESIDENT
António Manuel Queirós Vasconcelos da Mota
MEMBERS
Maria Manuela Queirós Vasconcelos Mota dos Santos
Júlia Maria Rodrigues de Matos Nogueirinha
The members of the Remuneration Setting Committee are independent of the management body, considering the explanation
contained in the paragraph that follows.
During the 2015 corporate period, a member of the Remuneration Setting Committee – Mrs. Júlia Matos – was also a member of a
corporate body of a company, which share capital is held by two executive directors of the Company, namely Messrs Carlos
Marques Martins and Jorge Marques Martins. However, the Company considers that the independence of the Remuneration
Setting Committee is safeguarded not only because of the professional training of this member in particular, but also because of the
fact that the remaining members of the Committee, which for the majority, are independent from the executive members of the
management body of the Company.
No persons were hired to integrate the Remuneration Setting Committee.
I
68. Knowledge and experience in remuneration policy issues by members of the
Remuneration Committee
The Company considers that all the individuals comprising this Remuneration Setting Committee, totally fit to carry out their duties
with excellence from a professional training perspective or based on positions previously held,.
Ms. Maria Manuela Queirós Vasconcelos Mota dos Santos is President of the Human Resources Development Commission of the
Mota-Engil Group.
The experience and knowledge of the members of the Remuneration Setting Committee are better described in their curricula
presented in the document attached to this report and attest, in a rigorous and specific manner, their ability to carry out the duties
attributed to them.
III. Remuneration structure
69. Description of the remuneration policy of the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board
as set out in Article 2 of Law No. 28/2009 of 19 June
The remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors and of the Supervisory Board of the Company is determined, in terms
of the Articles of Association, by the Remuneration Setting Committee, which submits a annual document, for appraisal at the
General Meeting, containing the general guidelines to be followed in establishing the specific amounts to attribute to the members
of the various Corporate Bodies.
th
At the Company’s General Meeting of 14 May 2015, the remuneration policy of the management and supervisory bodies, prepared
by the Remuneration Setting Committee, in compliance with Article 2 of Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June, and available in the
Company’s Website at http://www.martifer.pt/ (Tab: Investors, Section: Corporate Governance /General Meeting), was discussed
and submitted for approval.
In general terms, said remuneration policy of the management and supervisory bodies seeks to closely follow the CCC and the
Portuguese Securities Market Commission’s Corporate Governance Code provisions applicable, this being reflected in the
statement submitted for approval at the General Meeting referred to in the point that follows.
In defining the remuneration policy for the 2015 year, the legal provisions foreseen in (i) the CCC, namely in Article 399; (ii) Law
28/2009, of 19 June; (iii) the 2010 Corporate Governance Code issued by the CMVM; and (iv) the special regime laid down in the
Company’s Articles of Association, were considered.
70. Information on how remuneration is structured so as to enable the aligning of the interests
of the members of the Board of Directors with the Company's long-term interests and how
it is based on the performance assessment and how it discourages excessive risk taking
Martifer’s remuneration policy aims to promote the convergence of the interests of the directors, those of the other corporate bodies
and of the managers with the Company’s interests, namely those regarding the creation of value for the shareholder and real
growth for the Company, privileging a long-term perspective.
Hence, the Committee structured the components of the remuneration of the Management bodies so as to reward their
performance in achieving high and, simultaneously, sustained growth, discouraging, however, excessive risk-taking. Additional
determining factors include the company’s economic situation and general market conditions practiced for equivalent functions.
I
The remuneration of the executive members of the Board of Directors shall comprise a fixed and, when so deliberated by the
Remuneration Setting Committee, a variable component, with the latter variable part of the remuneration to not exceed 5% (five per
cent) of the results for the period, as laid down in law and in Article 20, no. 3 of the Articles of Association.
The informative principles observed by the Committee in establishing the remuneration are:
a) DUTIES CARRIED OUT, degree of complexity inherent to the duties, responsibilities attributed, time spent and the added
value to the Company of the work produced. Other duties carried out at group companies are also relevant, in virtue of the
increased responsibilities and of their constituting additional sources of revenue.
b) ALIGNMENT OF THE INTERESTS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT BODY WITH THOSE OF THE COMPANY,
appraisal of the performance of the members of the management body and of the creation of value for the shareholders.
c) ECONOMIC SITUATION OF THE COMPANY, present and future, privileging the interests of the Company in the long-term
term and the achievement of real growth for the Company and the creation of value for its shareholders, based on criteria
defining the economic situation of the Company, amongst others, those of a financial nature.
d) GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS FOR EQUIVALENT SITUATIONS, considering that the remuneration shall be aligned with
market practice, permitting it to serve as a means to achieving high individual and collective performance, assuring the
interests of the member but essentially those of the Company and of the shareholders.
The general guidelines governing the remuneration policy followed by the Remuneration Setting Committee during the 2015
financial period were those contained in the Remuneration Policy Statement, which was subject to resolution at the Company’s
th
General Meeting of 14 May 2015, and can be found on Annex III of this report.
71. Reference, where applicable, to there being a variable remuneration component and
information on any impact of the performance appraisal on this component
As described in more detail in the preceding point the remuneration of the executive members of the Board of Directors shall
comprise a fixed and, when attributed, a variable component.
The fixed component of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors with executive functions, as well as of the nonindependent, non-executive members (when attributed), shall consist of a monthly amount payable fourteen times a year, the
variable portion not being permitted to exceed five per cent of the results for the financial period, as laid down by law and in Article
20, no. 3 of the Articles of Association.
In setting all remuneration, including, namely, in distributing the total amount of the variable remuneration amongst the members of
the Board of Directors, the general principles consigned above shall be observed: duties carried out, alignment with the interests of
the Company, privileging the long-term, the situation of the Company and market criteria.
The process of attributing variable remuneration (VR) to the executive members of the Board of Directors shall follow the criteria
laid down by the Remuneration Setting Committee, namely, their position in the hierarchy, the performance appraisal carried out,
the company’s real growth, seeking in determining those criteria to strengthen the convergence of the interests of the Management
bodies with those of the Company, privileging the long-term perspective, this perspective being considered in the performance
criteria applied to Management. The following will therefore be decisive for the appraisal and mensuration of VR:
−
−
−
−
the contribution of the executive directors to the results obtained;
the profitability of the businesses from the shareholder perspective;
the evolution of the share price quotation; and
the extent to which the projects integrated and measured by the Balanced Scorecard of the Group are realised.
During the course of 2015, no contracts were celebrated, be it with the Company, or with third parties, which effects are to mitigate
the risk inherent to the variable remuneration established by the Company for the members of the management board.
I
72. The deferred payment of the remuneration’s variable component, specifying the
relevant deferral period
During the 2015 financial year, no variable remuneration was attributed to the directors of Martifer; consequently, the issue of
deferral of this remuneration component did not arise. On the other hand, the Remuneration Policy of the management and
th
supervisory bodies, drawn up by the Remuneration Setting Committee and approved at the General Meeting of 14 May 2015,
does not foresee the deferral of variable remuneration, when attributed.
Therefore, during the relevant financial year the company’s directors did not receive variable remunerations and, consequently, the
issue of deferral of this remuneration component did not arise.
73. The criteria whereon the allocation of variable remuneration on shares is based, and
also on maintaining company shares that the executive directors have had access to, on
the possible share contracts, including hedging or risk transfer contracts, the
corresponding limit and its relation to the total annual remuneration value
Martifer’s existing Remuneration Plan in Stock Options was constituted and attributed in the 2008 corporate period, foreseeing the
deferral of the exercising of the options for a period of 4 years; consequently, the exercising of the options related thereto expired
during the 2013 corporate period.
Regarding the 2008 Plan, none of the directors exercised their option rights during the respective deferral period.
During the course of the 2015 corporate year, the Company neither implemented nor attributed another stock and/or stock options
plan and, consequently, no variable remuneration was allocated on shares to the directors and no criteria were established for the
maintenance of those shares by the executive directors.
74. The criteria whereon the allocation of variable remuneration on options is based and
details of the deferral period and the exercise price
As better described in the preceding, and given that during the fiscal year 2015, the Company has not implemented, nor charge
allocation of shares and / or share purchase option plan, point the Company considers this point not applicable.
75. The key factors and grounds for any annual bonus scheme and any additional nonfinancial benefits
The Company has neither implemented any annual bonus scheme nor any additional non-financial benefits.
76. Key characteristics of the supplementary pensions or early retirement schemes for
directors and date when said schemes were approved at the General Meeting, on an
individual basis
The Company does not have supplementary pensions or early retirement schemes for the members of the management and
supervisory bodies and for other managers, as defined in no. 3 of Article 248-B of the Securities Code.

Corporate Governance Assessment
1. Details of the Corporate Governance Code implemented
Martifer, whilst issuer of shares that have been admitted to trading on an official stock exchange, is subject to the Portuguese
Securities Market Commission’s (“Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários”, henceforth also CMVM) Regulation no. 4/2013, of
18 July 2013, and abides by the recommendations contained in the 2013 Corporate Governance Code approved by the CMVM,
both documents available in the CMVM’s Website at www.cmvm.pt.
Martifer has not voluntarily adhered to any other corporate governance code.
The present report was prepared and follows, under no. 2 of Article 4 of CMVM Regulation no. 4/2013, the model appended to said
Regulation, having as its reference the 2013 CMVM Corporate Governance Code.
2. Analysis of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code implemented
In the matter of Corporate Governance and whilst Public Company, Martifer has sought to promote the implementation and adopt
the best corporate governance practices, including those contained in the new 2013 CMVM Corporate Governance Code, guiding
its policy along the highest standards of conduct, ethics and social responsibility, which are intended to be transversal to the Group.
It is an objective of the Board of Directors to implement an integrated and effective management of the Group, enabling the
Company to create value by promoting and guaranteeing the legitimate interests of its Shareholders, clients, suppliers, employees,
the capital market as well as of the community in general, permanently seeking transparency in its relations with the investors and
the market.
Martifer considers that, despite the fact that it does not comply fully with the recommendations contained in the 2013 CMVM
Corporate Governance Code, as amply described and justified in the following chapters of this report, the degree of adoption of the
recommendations is extremely wide and thorough.
3. Analysis of compliance with the Corporate Governance Code adopted

3.2 CLARIFICATIONS AS TO DIVERGENCES BETWEEN THE COMPANY’S GOVERNANCE PRACTICES AND THE CMVM
RECOMMENDATIONS
In this chapter, the grounds for the non-adoption or non-application of every single recommendation, which should be read together
with the table presented in the preceding chapter, are explained.
Recommendation I.1. Companies shall encourage shareholders to attend and vote at general meetings and shall not set an
excessively large number of shares required for the entitlement of one vote, and implement the means necessary to exercise
the right to vote by mail and electronically.
Martifer encourages its Shareholders to participate in the General Meetings and promotes the active exercise of the right to
vote, namely:
−
Disclosure in the Website, in the Portuguese and English languages, of the General Meetings’ convening notices, the
forms of exercising the vote and the procedures to adopt for correspondence or proxy voting;
−
Disclosure in the Website, in the Portuguese and English languages, of the preparatory information in respect of the
various points on the Agenda;
−
−
Access to proxy forms and voting ballots in the Website;
−
Statutory provision that each share is entitled to one vote.
The creation of an electronic mail exclusively dedicated to the General Meeting, and disclosed in the convening notice, to
facilitate the clarification of doubts;
Under Article 17 of Martifer’s Articles of Association, correspondence voting is permitted, without any restriction, in respect of all
matters subject to the appreciation of the Shareholders.
Martifer considers it has only adopted this recommendation partially due to the fact that its Articles of Association do not foresee
electronic correspondence voting. It should be noted that Martifer has adopted a flexible stance vis-à-vis the acceptance of
documentation in respect of correspondence or proxy voting sent via electronic means.
On the other hand, up till the present date, the Company has received no request or manifestation of interest from any
Shareholders or Investors as to the availability of electronic voting, as a result of which Martifer considers that the
correspondence voting system in place, as foreseen in the Articles of Association, totally safeguards all the Shareholders’
access to participation in the decisions submitted for deliberation.
Recommendation I.2. Companies shall not adopt mechanisms that hinder the passing of resolutions by shareholders, including
fixing a quorum for resolutions greater than that provided for by law.
Article 18 of the Company Articles of Association establishes the rule of a simple majority of the votes to pass corporate
resolutions, except when otherwise established by the CCC or the Articles of Association.
Hence, Martifer considers it has adopted this Recommendation, except as to the provision in the Articles of Association that
requires a greater quorum than that foreseen in the CCC for resolutions on the unfair dismissal of Directors.
The reason for the inclusion in the Articles of Association of a quorum greater that that foreseen in the CCC for unfair dismissal
of directors was to protect the interest of the Company, namely to mitigate the risk of the Company being obliged to compensate
directors for unfair dismissal as laid down in no. 5 of Article 403 of the CCC. Indeed, considering the gravity and impact of an
unfair dismissal of directors, the intention was to avoid the occurrence of such a resolution passed by a simple majority of
shareholders as opposed to one based on grounds approved by a more expressive and representative majority of the
Shareholders.
Martifer considers this is the model that best defends corporate interests.
Recommendation II.1.3. . The General and Supervisory Board, in addition to its supervisory duties, shall take full responsibility
at corporate governance level, whereby through the statutory provision or by equivalent means, shall enshrine the requirement
for this body to decide on the strategy and major policies of the company, the definition of the corporate structure of the group
II
and the decisions that shall be considered strategic due to the amount or risk involved. This body shall also assess compliance
with the strategic plan and the implementation of key policies of the company.
Martifer considers this Recommendation as not being applicable since said Recommendation relates to a governance model not
adopted by Martifer. Under the terms and conditions foreseen in Article 278 of the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code,
the corporate governance model adopted by Martifer comprises a Board of Directors, a Supervisory Board and a Statutory
Auditor.
Recommendation II.1.9. The Chair of the Executive Board or of the Executive Committee shall submit, as applicable, to the
Chair of the Board of Directors, the Chair of the Supervisory Board, the Chair of the Audit Committee, the Chair of the General
and Supervisory Board and the Chairman of the Financial Matters Board, the convening notices and minutes of the relevant
meetings.
Martifer considers this Recommendation as not being applicable since the Corporate Governance Model of the Company,
applicable during the 2013 financial year, does not foresee the existence of a chairman of an executive board or an executive
committee, but rather the delegation of powers by the Board of Directors on executive directors. Consequently, a formal
structure of executive directors subject to convening notices and meeting minutes has not been set up.
Recommendation II.3.1. All members of the Remuneration Committee or equivalent should be independent from the executive
board members and include at least one member with knowledge and experience in matters of remuneration policy.
Martifer considers this Recommendation to be partially adopted.
The Company’s Remuneration Setting Committee comprises three members, including one with knowledge and experience in
matters pertaining to Remuneration policy.
During the 2013 financial period, one of the members of the Remuneration Setting Committee - Mrs Júlia Matos – was also a
member of a corporate body of a commercial company which share capital is held by two of the Company’s executive directors,
namely Messrs Carlos Marques Martins and Jorge Marques Martins. However, the Company considers that the purpose of this
Recommendation is duly safeguarded not solely because of the professional training of this member in particular, but also
because the majority of the members of the Remuneration Setting Committee are independent from the executive members of
the Company’s management body, and also because the remaining provisions of this recommendation are fully complied with.
Recommendation II.3.3. A statement on the remuneration policy of the management and supervisory bodies referred to in
Article 2 of Law No. 28/2009 of 19 June, shall also contain the following:
a) Identification and details of the criteria for determining the remuneration paid to the members of the governing bodies;
b) Information regarding the maximum potential, in individual terms, and the maximum potential, in aggregate form, to be
paid to members of corporate bodies, and identify the circumstances whereby these maximum amounts may be
payable;
c) Information regarding the enforceability or unenforceability of payments for the dismissal or termination of appointment
of board members.
Martifer considers this Recommendation to be partially adopted.
th
The declaration on the remunerations policy was submitted and approved in the Company’s General Meeting on 14 May 2015,
th
with all the elements contained in article 2 of the Law no. 28/2009, from 19 June, as well as part of the included on the
Recommendation II.3.3 of the 2013 Corporate Governance Code.
Concerning the item b) of the recommendation II.3.3, the company considers that the maximum potential amounts, aggregate
and individual, as well as the circumstances in which these amounts may be due, is exclusively under the Remunerations
Committee’s responsibility, a corporate body independent from the Board of Directors. Therefore, the total compliance of the
referred recommendation is exclusively under the Remuneration Committee’s powers, which decided not to comply with the
recommendation, since it believes that the way the board member’s remuneration is structured is adequate and allows the
alignment of their interests with the Company’s interests on the long term and is in line with the remuneration practices of most
similar companies, keeping in mind the company’s characteristics.
II
Recommendation II.3.4. Approval of plans for the allotment of shares and / or options to acquire shares or based on share
price variation to board members shall be submitted to the General Meeting. The proposal shall contain all the necessary
information in order to correctly assess said plan.
Martifer’s existing Stock Options Remuneration Plan was constituted and allocated in the 2008 financial year and the exercising
of the options deriving therefrom expired during the 2013 financial period; consequently, during the course of this financial year
there was no need to assess or approve said plan at the Company’s General Meeting.
Furthermore, during the 2013 financial year, no additional stock attribution or stock options plan existed or was allocated;
consequently, there was no need to submit any proposal related to stock options’ plans for approval at the General Meeting.
Hence, Martifer considers this Recommendation not applicable.
Recommendation II.3.5. Approval of any retirement benefit scheme established for members of corporate bodies shall be
submitted to the General Meeting. The proposal shall contain all the necessary information in order to correctly assess said
system.
During the 2013 financial year, no retirement benefits scheme existed or was established in respect of the members of the
corporate bodies; consequently, there was no need to submit any proposal related to retirement benefit schemes for approval at
the General Meeting.
Hence, Martifer considers this Recommendation not applicable.
Recommendation III.3. The variable component of remuneration shall be reasonable overall in relation to the fixed component
of the remuneration and maximum limits should be set for all components.
The Company’s Remuneration Setting Committee established the exact annual amount for the fixed remuneration component
payable to the directors receiving remuneration from the Company. In parallel, the Company Articles of Association, under
Article 20, no. 3, state that the directors’ variable remuneration may not result in an allocation in excess 5% of the year’s profit,
under law. In this manner, the maximum remuneration limits for the fixed and variable remuneration components are set.
During the 2013 financial period, the Remuneration Setting Committee opted to attribute only the fixed remuneration component
to the directors and not the variable remuneration component, with the purpose of harmonizing the amount of the remuneration
received by the members of the Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with the measures implemented over the last few
periods, relating to the expense and structural cost reduction adopted transversally throughout the Martifer Group so as to
safeguard the highest number of jobs and the Company’s sustainability.
Consequently, the Company considers that it has partially adopted this Recommendation since, even though the Remuneration
Setting Committee has set the exact fixed annual remuneration amount and a statutory limit has already been set for the
variable remuneration component, during the 2013 financial period no variable remuneration was attributed to Martifer’s
directors.
Recommendation III.4. A significant part of the variable remuneration should be deferred for a period not less than three years,
and the right of way payment shall depend on the continued positive performance of the company during that period.
Martifer considers this recommendation to not have been adopted as the remuneration policy established by the Remuneration
Setting Committee for the management and supervisory bodies does not foresee the deferral of the variable remuneration
component, when attributed.
Notwithstanding said non-adoption of this Recommendation, the Company considers that the purpose of said recommendation
was safeguarded during the 2013 financial period in that no variable remuneration component was attributed to the directors of
Martifer during that period. The Remuneration Setting Committee is analysing the definition of criteria to fix the deferral of part of
the variable remuneration, when same is attributed.
II
Recommendation III.7. When the variable remuneration includes the allocation of options, the beginning of the exercise period
shall be deferred for a period not less than three years.
Martifer considers this Recommendation as not applicable as no variable remuneration was attributed to the directors of Martifer
in 2013 and therefore there was no place for its deferral.
Furthermore, during the 2008 financial period, stock options were attributed and their exercise was deferred for a period of four
years, inclusive. Up till the present date, these stock options allocated as variable remuneration have not been exercised and, in
fact, the possibility of such exercise expired at the end of the 2013 financial period.
4. Other Information
Besides the information and explanations presented in the present Report, there is no additional information of relevance that
should be presented for a proper understanding of the model and the governance practices adopted by Martifer.

ANNEX III
[STATEMENT ON THE REMUNERATION POLICY OF THE MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISORY BODIES APPROVED ON
TH
THE GENERAL MEETING ON 14 MAY 2015]
I - INTRODUCTION
In use of a legal right conferred by Article 399º of the Portuguese companies code (CSC), the Bylaws of Martifer SGPS, in its article
20, delegate to a Remuneration Committee the powers to decide on the remunerations of the Management and Supervisory Bodies
of the Company.
According to the applicable provisions of the Articles of Association, the Remuneration Committee was appointed by the
Shareholders General Meeting on281th April 2014, to exercise its duties for the three year period years 2012-2014 and currently is
formed by:
António Manuel Queirós Vasconcelos da Mota (President)
Maria Manuela Queirós Vasconcelos Mota dos Santos (Member)
Júlia Maria Rodrigues de Matos Nogueirinha (Member)
In order to promote a clear and legitimate fixing of the remuneration of corporate bodies, the Remuneration Committee, in
compliance with article 2 of Law 28/2009, of 19 June, hereby submits for approval of the General Meeting of Shareholders of
th
Martifer SGPS, S.A. of 14 May 2015, this declaration on the policy of remunerations of the Management and Supervisory Board.
This statement seeks to follow closely the applicable provisions of the CSC and the 2013 Corporate Government Code of Comissão
Mercado dos Valores Mobiliários (“CMVM”).
It is also relevant to point out that the present statement, more than mandatory by law, intends to be an important instrument of
good Corporate Governance, aiming the proper information of the shareholders, the protection of their interests and the
transparency of Corporate Governance in matters of remuneration of Corporate Bodies.
II – REGULATORY REGIME
In the definition of the remuneration policy to be established by the Remunerations Committee, were first taken into account the
legal provisions of CSC, namely in its article 399º; the Law 28/2009, 19 June, concerning the regime of approval and disclosure of
remunerations policy of the Management and Supervisory Bodies in Listed Companies, as well the 2013 Corporate Governance
Code of CMVM, in particular the provisions of Recommendation II.3.3.
In second place, it has also been taken into consideration, for the definition of the remuneration policy, the special regime
established in the Company’s Bylaws. The Portuguese Companies’ Code provides, in Article 399, the statutory scheme of
remuneration for the board of directors, which, in summary, establishes that:
-
The setting of the remunerations is a responsibility of the General Shareholders' Meeting or by a committee appointed by it for
this purpose and shall take into account the duties performed and the economic situation of the company;
-
The remuneration may be fixed or partially represent a percentage of the financial year´s profit, nevertheless the maximum
percentage allocated to the directors shall be authorized by a clause of the articles of association and shall not be levied on
the distribution of reserves or to any portion of the profits not legally available for distribution to the shareholders.
Regarding the members representing the Supervisory Board and the Board of the General Meeting the Portuguese Companies’
Code provides that remuneration shall consist of a fixed amount which is equally determined either on a General Shareholders'
Meeting or by a committee appointed by it for this purpose, taking into consideration each member's performance and the
company's economic situation.
Moreover, Articles 13 and 20 of the Articles of Incorporation state the following:
-
The remunerations of the members of the Corporate Bodies shall be fixed by the Remuneration Committee;
-
The General Meeting that elects the corporate bodies shall also elects the Remuneration Committee;
-
As The remuneration of the Board of Directors may be formedby a fixed part and a variable one , the latter representing a
percentage that can never exceed five per cent of the net profits for the year; and
-
The remuneration of the Supervisory Board shall consist of a fixed amount.
III – GENERAL PRINCIPLES
The Remunerations Committee pursues, in its remunerations policy, to promote the convergence of the interests of Directors, other
Corporate Bodies and Managers with the interests of the Company, namely shareholder value creation and real growth of the
Company, privileging here a long term perspective.
Pursuing this aspiration, and accordingly to the policy adopted in previous years, the Committee structured the integrant
components of the income of the Board of Directors in order to reward their performance, discouraging however excessive riskstaking. This way, it is intended to promote a high-level sustained growth.
Finally, it is relevant to say that is determinant in this Committee’s mission the economic position of the Company as well the
general market practices for similar situations.
Specifying the general policy herein stated, we hereby present to the shareholders the principals informants observed by this
Committee in the definition of the remunerations:
a) Interests alignment between the Management and Supervisory Bodies and the Company – Performance evaluation
In the decision of the remuneration of each member of the Board of Directors, shall be taken into account, for each single
member, the functions performed by individual members, the complexity of his duties, the responsibilities that are, in fact,
attributed to him, the time dedicated and the added value the result of his work brings to the Company.
In that extent, one cannot fail to differentiate the remuneration between the Executive Board members and the non-Executive
Board members, as well as the remuneration amongst each of the cited group.
There are also duties performed in other controlled companies which cannot be excluded from this consideration, as this means,
on one side, there is an increase in terms of responsibility and, on the other, in terms of the collective source of income.
b) Interests alignment between the Management and Supervisory Bodies and the Company – Performance evaluation
In order to grant an efficient alignment of interests of the Management and Supervisory Bodies with the ones of the Company,
this Committee shall not fail to pursue a policy that rewards the Board Directors by the performance of the Company in a long
term perspective and in the creation of value for the shareholder.
c) Economic position of the Company
This criterion has to be understood and interpreted carefully. The size of the Company and the inevitable complexity of
management associated to it is clearly one of the relevant aspects to determine the economic situation of the Company and of
remuneration, understood in its sense. To a higher level of complexity, corresponds a higher remuneration, but it has to be
adjusted accordingly to other criteria informants of the economic situation of the Company (of financial nature, human resources
nature, etc).
d) Market Criteria
The balance between supply and demand is unavoidable when setting any remuneration and the situation regarding members
of the Corporate Bodies is no exception. Only by taking into account market practices will allow the Company to maintain
professionals guided to perform at an adequate level of complexity and responsibility, It is important that the remuneration is
aligned with market practices and that it is stimulant, allowing it to become an instrument to help achieve a single and collective
high level of performance, thus ensuring not only the individual interest, but mostly the interests of the Company and of the
shareholders.
IV – CONCRETE OPTIONS
Based on the above mentioned principles, this Committee disclosure the relevant information regarding the concrete options of the
remunerations policy, which hereby are submitted to the Company’s shareholders appreciation:
1
st
Remuneration of Executive members of the Board of Directors, shall be made up of a fixed and, when so determined by the
Remuneration Committee, a variable part, and, according to the law and article 20.3 of the Articles of Association, the variable
part may not exceed 5% (five per cent) of the annual net profit.
2
nd
Remuneration for non-Executive independent members of the Board of Directors, members of the Supervisory Board and
members of the Board of the General Meeting shall only consist of a fixed part.

independent Board members.

6
th
In setting all remunerations, including in distributing the global amount of the variable pay of the members of the Board of
Directors, the general principles referred to above will be observed: functions carried out, alignment with the interests of the
company, privileging the long term, the company situation and market criteria.
7
th
Fixed remuneration of the members of the Board of the General Meeting will be a predetermined value for each meeting.
8
th
The process of attribution of variable remuneration to Executive members of the Board of Directors must follow the criteria
proposed by the Remunerations Committee, namely their hierarchal stand, evaluation of performance and real growth of the
Company, seeking to promote in those the convergence of the interests of the Management Body with the Company, with
emphasis on the long-term performance. Thus, will be considered decisive for the evaluation and measurement of the VR:


th
The contribution of the Executive Directors for the results obtained;
The profitability of business in the perspective of the shareholder;
The evolution of the stock quotes;
The degree of achievement of the projects integrated in and measured by the Balanced Scorecard of the Company.
