MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD
Dear shareholders,
A few words about the past and the future of our Group.
2013 was a very important year for us: we conquered new markets and new clients, increasingly demanding, that make us improve
everyday. We have built more complex construction and energy infrastructures, under increasingly demanding, sometimes almost
impossible, conditions.
In solar, we have made the first PV rooftop installation in India, we have built one of UK’s largest PV clusters and also made Latin
America’s largest PV park. Globally, Martifer Solar should have installed 200 MW in 2013, which already totals around 500 MW of
PV projects delivered since 2008. This is a number that makes us quite proud and puts us in this year’s rankings, not only in Europe
(5th
), but also in the global market (16th
) in the EPC segment.
In wind energy, we successfully concluded the 26 MW wind farms for the IKEA Group and in shipbuilding, we delivered the Queen
Isabel and Amavida hotel ships to our client Douro Azul.
In our root activity, metallic construction, we continued advancing on new markets. In Brazil, after 2 years of activity, we have
concluded a few more large scale projects, such as the Arena Fonte Nova and the Arena Amazônia stadiums. We also started the
construction of other not less important projects, like Museu do Amanhã (Tomorrow’s Museum) or the Transcarioca Bridges. The
new Martifer Aluminium factory, in Jacareí is ready to produce since the end of 2013, and the company already has in backlog the
Viracopos Airport project, in Campinas, S. Paulo.
In Saudi Arabia, the projects go on at a great pace. The King Abdullah Sports City Stadium is already concluded and we were
awarded a new project: King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center. In the UK and France, we delivered Scottish Hydro
Arena, in Glasgow and Airbus, in Toulouse, respectively.
In general, the projects concluded this year have a common ground: growing engineering complexity.
Regarding the ongoing strategy plan for the Group, we should proudly highlight that the debt reduction process continues at a good
pace, despite all the adversities in the markets, having decreased 11 % - or 42 million euros - in 2013, and we are confident that we
will be able to achieve our goal: 275 million euros by the end of 2014. The metallic constructions business area’s restructuring
already shows its signs with the improvement of the operational margin, a path we want to continue following in 2014, with a more
strong capital structure, possible via a capital increase expected for 2014.
The Group consolidated its presence in its strategic markets, and continues to clearly pursue the continuous improvement of its
operational efficiency, seeking to meet our global client’s needs, taking advantage of our main strengths: flexibility, execution
capacity and the ability to adapt to any circumstances.
Step by step, the Group is more global and more competitive, which makes us sure that the MARTIFER brand continues in a
“Clear Path” for greater awareness and recognition internationally.
Dear stakeholder, we are counting on you! Together, we can make 2014 a year of successes, for a sustainable future.

areas, to build the most complex projects in such diversified places as, for example, Amazonia, in Brazil, and Jeddah, in Saudi
Arabia. Its industrial units are located in Portugal, Romania, Angola, Mozambique (in partnership) and Brazil.
The company bases its development strategy on differentiation due to engineering quality and its vocation for complex projects. The
company aims to follow a directed strategy, by partnering with companies from complementary segments, which will allow it to not only
offer more complete solutions, but also gain a greater dimension, especially in the international stage.
It provides global and innovative engineering solutions, namely in projects with a high incorporation of metallic structures made in
steel, aluminium and glass façades, equipment for oil & gas and naval industry (via its subsidiaries Navalria and West Sea).

MARKET ENVIRONMENT
GLOBAL ECONOMY
* At market exchange rates. Source: The Economist
Growth
The latest economic indicators released reveal a significant improvement in the
World economic growth, with European Union showing a more favourable
evolution for the GDP in the second and third quarters of the last year, after six
consecutive quarters of negative change in GDP. As well as, the confidence and
economic sentiment indicators have anticipated the gradual economic recovery
with a change in the economic cycle and increase the expectations of a steady
economic turnaround in the following quarters.
The economic growth has been underpinned by the expansionist economic
policy taken by FED, BCE and BoE in order to balance the strong budget and
fiscal restrictions that affect not only the countries required by the International
Monetary Fund, The European Union and the European Central Bank to
implement financial and economic assistance programs, but also other key
economies that presented imbalances in the public finance indicators and a
deterioration of competitiveness.
Several studies highlight that in 2014 the economic power of the Western
economies will be back on top and switch leading position with BRICs. The
Source: The Economist
PAGE 22 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
economic recovery will be a reality and mature economies will have an important role in the world economic growth, as can be seen
in the graphic. The USA will have again a strong contribution (+2.6 % GDP).
In other words, mature markets will accelerate growth leading world economy to 3.6 % in 2014, according several organisms’
studies.
European Economy is finally in the way to the recovery. In 2013, against all the expectations and following the diminishing of risks,
the economy returned to recovery.
10 reasons to believe in it:
1. The gross domestic product of the euro area is likely to have expanded by 0.5 % in the second half of 2013.
2. Portugal came out of recession in the second quarter.
3. Spain came out of recession in the third quarter.
4. Italy stopped contracting in the fourth quarter.
5. Greece is expected to return to growth in 2014 for the first time in seven years.
6. Ireland defied most forecasts by growing 1.5 % in the third quarter alone.
7. Spain, Portugal and Greece eliminated vast current- account deficits, reducing their reliance on foreign borrowing – and not just
by slashing imports; Iberian exports in particular have surged, aided by structural reforms that have boosted competitiveness.
8. Bond Yields have fallen back to 2010 levels as foreign investors have returned to crisis-country debt markets.
9. Financial fragmentation across the euro zone has eased as borrowing costs in the periphery have finally started to come down.
10. The European Central Bank’s balance sheet, which ballooned during the crisis as funding markets closed, has shrunk as banks
have been able to repay emergency loans.

broadly on track.
The European Commission, the IMF and the ECB, reaffirmed that the country is on the right direction and highlighted the country’s
improving short-term outlook will help to get the normal access to the financial market. As the Economic growth returned to Portugal
in the second quarter of the last year and continued through the rest of 2013, unemployment began to fall, 10 year bond yields have
fallen sharply and confidence has grown steadily.
The return to growth came after three years of recession – the worst since 1970s – as the country implemented harsh austerity and
structural reforms under the bailout.
The indicators that best demonstrates the success of the adjustment are:
The Financing needs were reduced by more than 13pp of the GDP;
Households’ saving rate has more than doubled since the bottom in 2008;
Deleveraging of corporates and the financial system, while reinforcing banks’ capital;
Export continue with strong figures
Overall, Portugal’s adjustment is really sizable compared to its Euro area peers.

The risks, according to the commission, are mainly of a legal nature, pointing to the Constitutional Court’s pending decisions on a
number of austerity measures from 2014’s budget.
Although the country’s budget goals for 2013 have been met, Portugal needs to continue those consolidations efforts in 2014, or in
other words, a rigorous implementation of the 2014 budget will be a decisive step in the transition to a post-programme
environment.

Business Environment
In what concerns business environment indicators, after this crisis, show that enterprises should be more prepared to face other
type of Risk Management with worries such as countries’ financial system and governments which the business is exposed to. Due
to globalization of markets, financial impact of economic turmoil is more than ever a dummy to be considered in the corporate
strategy. Despite all, 2014 should be more positive compared with last years. Business environment is better and will have the best
opportunities in mature markets. And once corporate and government level of investment is at the lowest level in the last years, all
indicates that as far as confidence, as expected in 2014, the potential growth in sectors such infrastructures and energy should
increase.

REVENUES
In 2013 the Total of Operating Revenues increased by 14.5 % YoY to 592.9 million euros, reflecting the significant improvement in volume of
the core business areas Solar and Metallic Constructions, leveraged by the sale of wind farms in RE Developer.
The Group accumulates, once more, successes in what concerns to its internationalization process in 2013, when compared with
2012. The contribution of Portugal for the total Revenues was only 18 %, and the remaining 82 % come from four different regions:
European Union (excluding Portugal) 33 %, Latin America 27 %, Africa and Saudi Arabia 15 % and North America 4 %.
The global exposure conquered in the last years is remarkable, the Group has now the conditions to consolidate its presence in
these markets, taking advantage of the growth forecasted in developing countries, such as Latin America and, at the same time,
collect the benefits of the exposure to mature economies, like the United Kingdom.
Metallic Construction business area reported an increase of 4.7 % YoY in Revenues to 276.1 million euros, in a year marked by
projects with greater complexity, in terms of engineering, with the strongest markets being Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Angola and France.
The Solar business ended the FY2013 with 274.7 million euros of Total Operating Revenues, increasing by 17.2 % YoY, justified by
the conclusion of projects in several geographies, highlighting the project in Mexico, currently the biggest project in Latin America,
projects in Portugal and the UK.
RE Developer had in 2013 a sharp growth in its Revenues to 44.1 million euros, due to the sale of renewable assets, mainly wind
farms, in accordance with the asset rotation strategy.

Consolidated EBITDA in 2013 showed a significant improvement when compared with 2012, increasing from 3.9 million euros to
29.3 million euros, due to the EBITDA improvement in the RE Developer, with the sale of wind farms in Poland.
In Metallic Constructions, EBITDA in the end of 2013 registered -18.7 million euros, which compares with -24.6 million euros,
reflecting mostly the following effects:1) Deterioration of market conditions in Europe, with effects on the margins; 2) Remaining
effect of the exit of the Polish market; 3) Unpredicted additional costs in projects.
In Solar, the EBITDA reached 11.8 million euro, with a margin of 4.3 % vs. 6.8 %, mainly due to the negative performance in the USA,
where, in January 2014, the subsidiaries Martifer Solar USA INC and Martifer Aurora Solar LLC voluntarily started a Chapter 11 process
(US Bankrupcy Code).

• According to the Euroconstruct’s studies from November 2013, as can be seen in the chart below,
the European construction sector experienced severe declines within the last years as a result of
various crises, especially due to publicpublic finance tight and lack of liquidity. Production output
declined by 2.7 % in real terms in 2013 in Western Europe but the development in construction
varied significantly between the countries. The construction outlook is more favorable for the 2014-
2016 period. Construction is expected to grow moderately by 0.9% in 2014.
• But a further more dynamic performance should follow in 2015 and 16, given a stable economic
framework. All sectors – housing, non-residential construction and civil engineering are expected to
experience an expansion in volume. Necessary and often delayed infrastructure measures and
investments will counter the ongoing public consolidation pressure.
• Latin America will continue to grow and the demand for infrastructures is still growing.
• Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa will have a strong demand, despite a strong competition.

RESULTS
Metallic Construction Revenues increased by 4.7 % to 276.1 million euro, despite the difficulties in the sector, mainly in Europe. The
shift in the weight in Operating Revenues, from Iberia to other countries, such as Brazil and Saudi Arabia, was the reason behind
the business turn away from the negative trend.
The internationalization effort in the last three years and the focus on countries with economic growth and infrastructure investment
plans are starting to be visible, nevertheless, still negatively impacts the current cost structure.
EBITDA in the FY13 registered -18.7 million euros, which compares with -24.6 million euros in the FY12, reflecting the following
effects:
1) Deterioration of market conditions in Europe, with effects on the margins;
2) Remaining effect of the exit of the Polish market;
3) Additional costs in projects.
The EBIT of -34.6 million euros registered in the FY13 is negatively affected by the goodwill impairment loss concerning activity in Australia
and increase in provisions for the end of activities in Poland.
Net Financial Expenses in 2013 had an increase of 5.2 % to 15.1 million euro, due to the increase in the spreads and financing
commissions applied by the banks.
Net Profit in the FY13 totalled -54.2 million euros, of which 0.2 million euros attributable to non-controlling interests in Martifer Angola.
Net Financial Debt in Metallic Constructions at 31st December 2013 reached 135 million euros. Of the total Net Debt, 27 million
euros are allocated to projects in the Retail area, not considered core business.
Total CAPEX at the FY13 reached 5.5 million euros, which correspond to maintenance investment in metallic construction, namely
investments in Brazil, the new Aluminium factory in Brazil and a new gantry crane in Navalria.

• There is a renewed sense of optimism in the global PV industry at the end of 2013. Although prices
are flat and margins are only slightly positive for a few companies;
• After we expect 2013 to finish up at 35.8-40.4 GW total new build, in 2014 is expected a demand
between 41.4 and 49.9 GW, which means a volume growth between +16 % /+24 %;
• Consolidation continues, and orders keep flowing to large and medium manufacturers with perceived
higher changes of survival and better product reliability.;
• Active players with effective cost control are currently running at full capacity, and some plan

The backlog of turnkey projects (signed) is 270 million euros and are diversified throughout Europe, Asia, America and Africa.
We remind that 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. It is important to highlight,
however, that the margins in the solar segment were reduced throughout the value chain, with significant cuts in government
support and an increase in competition.

• In the Latin American Market, Brazil no longer dominates, with Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay in
particular all beeing coming on strong. And besides wind still accounts for the majority of funds
deployed, solar investment is now surging and anticipates a strong growth for the next years, as can
be seen in the graphic, in which 2014 is expected to outperform with a growth of 322 %.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 41
RESULTS
In 2013, Total Operating Revenues increased by 17.2 % YoY, totalling 274.7 million euros, justified by the strong take-off of projects
in several geographies, highlighting the project in Mexico, currently the biggest project in Latin America, in Portugal and in the UK.
The EBITDA in Solar in the FY13 totalled 11.8 million euros, decreasing by 26.1 %, with a margin of 4.3 % vs. 6.8 % YoY, mainly
due to the negative performance in the USA, where, in January 2014, the subsidiaries Martifer Solar USA INC and Martifer Aurora
Solar LLC voluntarily started a Chapter 11 process (US Bankrupcy Code).
The subsidiaries are currently negotiating the restructuring plan, for which is expected the approval from creditors and the Court, in the
terms of Chapter 11, in order to continue the development of activities from the debtor companies. We expect that this
reorganization and restructuring process of Martifer Solar INC, with a negative impact in 2013, might lead to a turning point in 2014
and a new positive and consistent cycle from 2015.
Net Financial Expenses in 2013 increased significantly compared with 2012 from 7.4 to 14.8 million euros, in consequence of the
revision of ongoing projects, during 2013, which, for being developed for sale, were reclassified to Inventories.
Net Profit was -7.6 million euros, which negatively compares with 2012, due to the negative performance of Martifer Solar USA as
well as the recognition of client provisions.
CAPEX in the 2013 was 1.9 million euro, applied in project development.
Net Debt in the FY13 was 51.1 million euros, 10.4 million euros below 2012. This decrease was due mainly to the sale of projects in
France, Italy and Portugal and a more efficient management of working capital. The sale of Silverado projects and the transfer of
related liabilities had also a positive contribution in debt reduction, after the deconsolidation effect.

• More dynamic markets in terms of new installations: China, UK, India, Germany, Sweden, Australia,
Denmark, Romania and Canada (according to the World Wind Energy Association);
• Brazil emerges as the biggest market in Latin America, occupying the 10th position worldwide;
• In Europe, in the last years, reversing the trend in previous years, it is expected that the level of
subsidies to the sector reached its maturity, presenting a decreasing trend for the future;
• There is currently some uncertainty in the sector, due to the announced law changes. A clarification
of these policies is expected throughout 2014;
• In the coming years, according to IEA projections, demand, investment and renewable energy
generation are expected to continue growing worldwide, mainly in India, Latin America, ASEAN and
Africa;
• Wind energy’s dependence from subsidies is gradually decreasing, with price and MWh cost getting

ACTIVITY
The company has currently 95 MW of wind and solar farms in operation, from which 64 MW with contribution to revenues, located
in Spain (7.23 MW), Romania (42 MW) and Brazil (14.7 MW). In Portugal, the company holds around 50 % in 31 MW of wind farms
in operation, which contribute to the results through equity method
In 2013, we highlight the sale of the Rymanów project in Poland, with 26 MW in operation, to the IKEA Group, and the agreement
for the sale of Rosa dos Ventos (14.7 MW), keeping its asset rotation policy.
RESULTS
RE Developer’s Total Operating Revenues increased significantly in 2013 YoY to 44.1 million euros, mainly explained by the sale of
the wind farms in Poland to IKEA.
The Total Revenues from the wind and solar farms in operation in the period, totalling 64 MW, located in Spain, Romania and
Brazil, were 17.9 million euros versus 17.1 million euros in 2012, thanks to the operation, during the entire year, of the wind farm in
Babadag, Romania (42 MW), inaugurated at the end of 2012.
EBITDA reached 35.4 million euros in 2013, showing an improvement YoY, and reflecting also a 26.6 p.p. increase in its margin,
achieved by the enhancement in the operational performance of the parks in operation in Spain and Romania, with a complete year
in operation, and consequent dilution of fixed and development costs, and also due to the sale of the Rymanów wind farm in Poland
to IKEA.
Net Profit attributable to shareholders in 2013 was positive in 9.9 million euros, compared with 0.3 million euros in 2012.
CAPEX in 2013 was 2.4 million euros, justified by project development, mainly in Poland.
Net Debt at the end of 2013 was 13 million euros, 27 million euros less than final year 2012. To the significant net financial debt
reduction in the RE Developer area has decisively contributed the sale of the Rymanów wind farm and the signature of the sale
agreement for Rosa dos Ventos, which debt was 10 million euros in December 2013, and is classified as an asset held for sale.

During 2013, the level of services that the Holding company provided to other Group companies decreased significantly due to the
fact that, part of the services that were 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, SA, the holding company of the Group, was negative amounting to 49,379,995 euro, comparing
with a negative Net Profit of 12,517,886 euro in the previous year.
The negative Net Result in 2013 is mainly due to the recognition of impairment losses in some of its subsidiaries, as a result of
operational losses which lead to deterioration in shareholders' funds.

followed by IBEX (+21.4 %), CAC 40 (+18.0 %), PSI 20 (+16.3 %) and FTSE 100 (+14.4 %). As for the North American markets,
they also had a quite positive performance: +26.5 % in Dow Jones Industrial and +35.0 % in NASDAQ. Martifer’s share price ended
2013 with 29.4 % gains, above Euronext Lisbon’s main index, PSI-20, which increased by 16.3 %, compared with the end of 2012.
Martifer’s share price closed 2013 at 0.73 €/share. The maximum price achieved was 0.82 €/share and minimum 0.45 €/share.
The average volume of stocks traded during the period was 66,474 shares, which translates a significant increase when compared
with the average volume registered at the end of 2012, of 12,652 shares. The recovery of confidence from investors in the
Portuguese stock market, mainly in the second quarter of 2013, is one of the main reasons for the improvement in transaction
volumes. Martifer’s market value at 31st December 2013 was 73 million euros, meaning, 17 million euros above the value at the end
of 2012.

PAGE 52 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
07 | FUTURE PROSPECTS
2013 in analysis, goals partially achieved:
Debt decrease via the sale of non core assets
Growth in Revenues
Improvements in operational efficiency
At the end of 2013, the basis of the strategy remains unaltered
− The crucial point in the Group’s strategy is still the sale of non core assets and the decrease in the debt level. Meaning, the
process of sale of renewable assets is still on course, which, taking in consideration the current market conjuncture, should
extend until 2015, but with visible results in 2014.
− It is Martifer Group’s goal to obtain a debt level of 275 million euros or less until the end of 2014. Considering the current debt
level (335 million euros), it is the Group’s goal to proceed with an addicional reduction of more than 60 million euros until the
end of 2014, through the sale of non core assets, especially wind farms, solar projects and, residually, through the sale of real
estate projects.
Therefore, the Action Plan for 2014 should be based in 4 goals:
Decrease in debt through the sale of non core assets
Increase of operational efficiency
Order Book growth, leveraged by partnerships
Strenghtened capital structure
08 Main Risks
PAGE 54 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
08 | MAIN RISKS
FINANCIAL RISKS
a) Price risk
The volatility of raw material prices constitutes a risk for the Group, both in metallic construction and solar. The changes in the price
of steel and aluminium impact the operational activity of the metallic construction and the cganges in solar panel prices can also
influence solar activity. Martifer has sought to mitigate this risk by including clauses in its 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 reflects the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates between
different currencies. The Group’s exposure to currency risk results from the existence of foreign based subsidiaries in countries with
a currency other than the Euro, 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 to 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.
Certain operational activities of the Group are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates vis-à-vis their local currency. The prices
of some raw-materials, namely steel and aluminium are generally expressed or indexed to the US Dollar which can have an impact
on the Group’s results. It is possible, to a large extent, to include these variations in the sales prices. Where this is not possible, the
Group hedges this exposure by contracting foreign exchange derivative contracts in the subsidiary exposed to the said risk. In the
last two years, the hiring of exchange derivatives increased reasonably in the Group, mainly by two reasons: 1) with the increase of
operating income in Brazil in Metallic Construction segment, and given the volatility of ‘real’ currency in recent times, and 2) also in
the case of Solar business, exchange rate protection against the U.S. dollar.
c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges on loans contracted due to the evolution of market
interest rate levels.
The Group 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. At the end of 2013, the medium long term debt exposed to fixed rates was 3 % (97 % floating
rate), which compares with 17 % (fixed rate) and 83 % (floating rate) in 2012.
In the more significant long-term loans, the Group relies on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to hedge
exposure to interest rate risk on the said loans. 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, as such, are considered perfect hedges.
d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk reflects the Group’s ability to satisfy its financial responsibilities with the available financial resources.
The Group manages its liquidity risk in two main ways:
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 55
On the one hand, it seeks to ensure that its financing structure adequately reflects the nature of its obligations. Investments in fixed assets, including financial investments, are funded through long-term facilities (equity and long-term loans) whilst short-term obligations are funded through short-term loans. Long-term loans are generally contracted for periods of 5 to 7 years, generally with a grace period of the principal of 1 to 2 years.
On the other hand, subsidiaries have contracted, with financial institutions, short-term facilities for amounts that assure their liquidity. Subsidiaries also have adequate amounts of cash to cover their short-term commitments.
e) Credit risk
The worsening of the worldwide economic conditions and the escalation of the adversities facing local, national and international
economies can influence Martifer Group’s client default rate, with possible negative impacts on the Group’s results.
Aware of this reality, the Group seeks to evaluate all its clients’ credit risk in order to establish credit limits, with the ultimate purpose
of ensuring the collection of the amounts due within the periods negotiated.
With this objective in mind, the Group uses credit rating agencies, regularly analyses risk and credit control, and collects from and
manages cases in litigation, procedures which are all considered essential to manage the credit conceded and to minimize the risk
of credit default.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
a) Metallic Construction
Operational risks in the Metallic Construction area, which was also incorporated in the energy equipment area as from 2011, are
currently divided into three sources of risk – client, supplier and external risk, which, in turn, is 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 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 depends, in part, on the launch of public tenders for
public infrastructures (ex. bridges, airports, 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 specifications defined by the contracting entity, that may represent
additional costs for the Martifer Group. It is to be highlighted that, despite the said dependence on public tenders, Martifer has been
able to win business not subject to public tender, thereby reducing its exposure to this risk.
Under supplier risk, Martifer Construções, as a specialist in engineering projects, relies very often on subcontractors, who may fail
in the execution of their work and jeopardize, through a domino-effect, the meeting of project delivery deadlines. In other words,
there is also a risk of delays in delivering the projects, with the inherent contractual penalties.
In the specific case of wind farm construction projects, this problem is mitigated by foreseeing guarantees and penalties in the
contracts, due by the suppliers of equipment or of turn-key projects, since delays in delivering the wind farms may result in less
attractive tariffs and, consequently, in lower profitability rates for the projects. On the other hand, reliance on internationally
renowned suppliers, the most important being Repower and Suzlon, reduces the dependence on suppliers and guarantees the
quality of the equipment. This form of risk management also allows for the simultaneous mitigation of the turbine performance risk,
since operation and maintenance contracts are signed with the turbine suppliers, for periods of, typically, 5 years. Finally, the risk
associated with wind turbine performance is also reduced through adequate programmed preventative maintenance.
Finally, in terms of external risks, and considering that the area of Metallic Construction 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.
PAGE 56 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
The manner found by the Metallic Construction area to mitigate these external risks, which are impossible to control, was to
disperse its activity throughout the various geographies, namely through the entry into markets recording higher growth rates, as is
the case of the Angolan market, or, more recently, the Brazilian market, or even countries sporadically visited such as Saudi
Arabia, which may help offset both the effects of the economic recession in Portugal as well as the economic slowdown in Europe.
b) Solar
In the turn-key park installation activity, end-client delays in obtaining the necessary licences or unanticipated delays in the delivery
of equipment may disrupt the calendars initially foreseen 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 present.
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, in the process of being adopted should 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 of which this sector is exposed to the risk of warranty claims 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
respect of the modules acquired for the construction of solar parks; however, the group’s responsibility , in this case, is diminished
in that there is a right of recourse vis-à-vis the suppliers.
On the other hand, most of the equipment used in the production of solar photovoltaic modules is customized for 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, carrying out a judicious selection of suppliers and working towards garnering a
diversification of suppliers for each of the relevant raw-materials of the production process.
c) RE Developer
The productivity indices associated with the renewable energy business depends on the volume of energy produced by the wind
farms and its profitability, factors that depend on the location of the wind farms and on the seasons of the year (seasonality). Given
that the wind turbines are only driven when the wind velocity is within specific parameters, which parameters depend on the
supplier and the type of turbine, if the said velocity is not within the parameters or if it is at the lower end of the limits, the energy
production of the wind farms will suffer a reduction.
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 farms, allowing for the set-off of the wind velocity variations
at each farm and ensuring the relative stability of the volume of total energy produced.
LICENCING:
Wind farms and solar parks are subject to rigorous regulations in matters such as the development, construction, licensing and
operation of power plants. If the relevant authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates stop or reduce their support for
the development of wind farms and solar parks, such actions may have a significant impact on the activity.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 57
LEGAL RISKS
Martifer is subject to the national and local laws and regulations in the various geographies and markets where it operates, which
aim to assure, amongst others, worker rights, protection of the environment and 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, consequently, prejudice 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 assure the protection of the Company’s interests and, ultimately,
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 assured, nationally and internationally, by external professionals, selected amongst
reputable firms and in accordance with the highest standards of competence, ethics and experience.

PAGE 78 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
1 January 2004 corresponds to the first period of application, by the Group, 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 translated to Euros in accordance with the accounting
policies described in Note I xv).
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 performed taking into consideration the
best knowledge available at the financial statements’ approval date, and the informations available on that date.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared for appreciation and approval by the annual Shareholder’s
General Meeting. The Board of Directors has approved them for issuance, on 31 March 2014, and believes that these will be
approved without any changes.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The Group’s consolidation methods are as follows:
a) Group companies
Investments in companies in which the Group owns, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting rights at the Shareholder’s
General Meetings or is able to establish the financial and operational policies so as to benefit from their activities (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.
In business combinations occurring after 1 January 2004, the assets and liabilities of each subsidiary (including contingent
liabilities) are measured at fair value at the date of acquisition as established in IFRS 3. Any excess 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 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.
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 on 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 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, independently of these becoming 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
from the date of their acquisition and up to the date of their disposal.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 79
Adjustments to the financial statements of Group companies are performed, 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 no share capital interests are directly held in those entities, they are consolidated using the full consolidation method. At 31
December 2013, 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 of those companies - 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 (including 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 at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable assets
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 said associate or jointly controlled company, in which situation a provision is recorded for those commitments.
The Group’s share of unrealized gains arising on 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 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 statemen ts
for the years 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).
Goodwill arising on acquisitions prior to the date of transition to IFRS (1 January 2004) or Goodwill arising on 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 from that date, to annual impairment tests.
Goodwill is not amortized but 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 higher between the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. The fair
value less costs 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 useful life. The recoverable
PAGE 80 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
amount is estimated individually for each asset, or, when this is not possible, for the cash-generating unit to which the asset
belongs.
Impairment losses relating to Goodwill may not be reversed.
The excess of the acquisition cost of investments in foreign companies (subsidiary, associate and jointly controlled companies) over
the fair value of their identifiable assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition is calculated using the functional currency of each of
those companies. Translation to the Group’s currency (Euro) is made using the closing exchange rate. Exchange rate differences
arising on translation are recorded in the equity caption ’Foreign currency translation reserves’.
Any excess of the Group’s share in the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities in subsidiary, jointly controlled and associate
companies over their acquisition cost, at the date of acquisition, is recognized as income in the income statement for the year, after
reassessment of the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities.
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 lower of their carrying amount and their
fair value less costs 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 license period granted (currently
20 years).
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 at the acquisition date.
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recorded at cost less accumulated
amortization and 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.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets’ useful lives, land not being subject to depreciation.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 81
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 from 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 useful lives:
Buildings 20 to 50 years
Equipment:
Basic equipment 3 to 7 years
Transportation equipment 4 to 5 years
Tools and dies 3 to 5 years
Office equipment 3 to 10 years
Other tangible assets:
Equipment installed in wind and solar farms 15 to 20 years
Other tangible assets 3 to 10 years
Maintenance and repair costs that neither increase the useful life, nor create significant improvements 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
liabilities are recorded in accordance with the contractual 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 for 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 on changes in fair value are included in the income statement for 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 arising are included in the income statement for 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.
PAGE 82 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
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 expectable 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 case, 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.
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 for 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 for 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 valuation models most frequently used 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:
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 83
- significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or
- default or delinquency in interest or principal 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 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 uncollectible, 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 less 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.
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 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.
PAGE 84 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
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
At present 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.
Green certificates are instruments that approve the production of a certain volume of electricity from renewable energy sources.
Upon receipt of the green certificates, the company recognizes an asset under “Other short-term investments” as well as its
corresponding “Deferred income”. The deferred income is recorded in the income statement when the green certificates are sold.
Subsequent to the initial recognition, the green certificates are valued at the transaction price available at that date. At the end of
each period, the green certificates are valued using their fair value, which corresponds to their market price at that date. The
differences arising are recorded in the income statement as “Other financial income” or as “Other financial expenses”.
Green certificates are valid for a given period as from their issue date (16 months in Romania). The carrying amount of the expired
green certificates (due to lack of use within the validity period) is recorded in “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
ceded.
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.
ix) 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.
x) Inventories
Merchandise and raw-, subsidiary and consumable materials are stated at the lower of their average acquisition cost or net
realizable value (estimated sales price less costs 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 is estimated that the inventories’ net realizable value is lower than
its carrying amount (Note 10).
xi) 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, which payment and receipt will occur in future periods, as well as payments and receipts in
the current period but which relate to future periods.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 85
xii) 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’, respectively.
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 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 occurs.
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 flow to the entity; and
- the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be reliably measured.
xiii) 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;
PAGE 86 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
- there is strong probability that the assets will generate future economic benefits; and
- the production costs can be reliably measured.
xiv) 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.
xv) 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 at the transaction dates and those used at the collection, payment or at the reporting period, are recognized, at their
gross amounts, as profits and losses in the income statement for the period.
Consolidated financial statements:
Assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated to 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 for 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. Exchange differences arising,
if any, 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 of.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign
entity and are therefore translated at the closing rate.
The following exchange rates have been used in the preparation of the financial statements:

xvi) 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.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 87
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 realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) enacted or substantively 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 utilized. 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.
xvii) 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.
xviii) 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 and solar parks and wind farms sold. This provision is recognized on the date of the sale or when the service is rendered,
thus affecting the profit made on same. At the end of the guarantee period (5 years on 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.
xix) 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 useful lives of the underlying assets.
PAGE 88 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
xx) 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 ‘Provisions
and impairment losses’. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The fair value less
costs 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.
xxi) 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.
xxii) 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.
xxiii) 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.
xxiv) 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.
xxv) 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.
xxvi) Judgements and estimates
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 89
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.
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended on 31 December
2013 and 2012 include:
- Useful lives 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 on tax losses;
- Fair value of derivatives.
The estimates used were based on the best information available during the preparation of 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 could occur and have an impact on the estimates. Changes to the estimates used by Management, 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.
xxvii) Financial risk management
Financial markets include a high degree of uncertainty, to which the Group is exposed. This uncertainty is translated into several
risks, namely price risk, currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.
a) Price Risk
The volatility of raw-material prices constitutes a risk for the Group, both in the Construction as well as in the Solar segments. The
changes in the price of steel and aluminium impact the operational activity of the metallic construction business area, as do the
changes in market prices for solar panel, which may also influence the solar activity. Martifer has sought to mitigate this risk by
including clauses in its 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 reflects the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates between
different currencies. The Group’s exposure to currency risk results from the existence of foreign based subsidiaries in countries with
a currency other than the Euro, 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 to exchange rate variations.
Subsidiaries seek to use their local currency in their day-to-day operational activities. Likewise, loans contracted by foreign
subsidiaries are preferably denominated in their local currency .
Certain operational activities of the Group are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates vis-à-vis their local currency. The
prices of some raw-materials, namely steel and aluminium are generally expressed or indexed to the US Dollar, which can have an
impact on the Group’s results. It is possible, to a large extent, to include these variations in the sales prices. Where this is not
possible, the Group hedges this exposure by contracting foreign exchange derivative contracts.
In so far as the currency risk arising on the translation of Group investments in foreign subsidiaries that report in a currency other than
the Euro is concerned, the Group seeks to manage it through natural hedging, using the companies’ balance sheets, namely seeking
finance in their local currency. In parallel, the Group seeks to mitigate this impact through the diversification of the countries it is present
in.
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
Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges on loans contracted due to the evolution of market
interest rate levels.
The Group relies on external financing to fund its activity and is exposed to interest rate risk as a significant part of its borrowings
are indexed to market interest rates.
In the more significant medium- and long-term loans, the Group relies on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate derivatives to
hedge exposure to interest rate risk on said loans. 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, as such, configure perfect hedging
correlations.
The Group’s interest rate sensitivity analysis to changes of 1 p.p., more or less, is shown in Note 30 ‘Borrowings’.
d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk reflects the Group’s ability to satisfy its financial responsibilities with the available financial resources.
The Group manages its liquidity risk in two main ways:
On the one hand, it seeks to ensure that its financing structure adequately reflects the nature of its obligations.
Investments in fixed assets, including financial investments, are funded through long-term facilities (equity and long-term
loans) whilst short-term obligations are funded through short-term loans. Long-term loans are generally contracted for
periods of 5 to 7 years, generally with a grace period of the principal of 1 to 2 years.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 91
On the other hand, subsidiaries have contracted, with financial institutions, short-term facilities for amounts that assure
their liquidity. Subsidiaries also have adequate amounts of cash to cover their short-term commitments.
The liquidity risk is analysed in Note 30 ‘Borrowings’.
e) Credit risk
The worsening of the worldwide economic conditions and the escalation of the adversities facing local, national and international
economies can influence the Group’s client default rate, with possible negative impacts on the Group’s results.
Aware of this reality, the Group seeks to evaluate all its clients’ credit risk in order to establish credit limits, with the ultimate purpose
of ensuring the collection of the amounts due within the periods negotiated.
With this objective in mind, the Group uses credit rating agencies, regularly analyses risk and credit control, and collects from and
manages cases in litigation, procedures which are all considered essential to manage the credit granted and to minimize the risk of
client default.
xxviii) Capital Management
The objective of the Group, in relation to capital management, is to maintain an optimal capital structure, through a prudent use of
financial debt, seeking, in this manner, the necessary reduction of its cost.
The financial debt structure is analysed periodically, taking into consideration factors such as the borrowing costs and the
investment needs of the Group’s operational companies.
The indicator used to analyse the capital structure is the Financial Autonomy ratio. The Board has considered 20% indicative of an
optimal structure, given the characteristics of the company and the economic sector to which it belongs. The Board considers that,
depending on the objective conditions in the economic environment, in general, and in this sector, in particular, that ratio should,
under normal market conditions, ideally range between 20% - 30%. However, given the current extremely adverse economic and
sectorial environments, Management considers that, under these conditions, it is reasonable for this ratio to drop to between 15% -
20%.
Financial Autonomy evolved as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Equity 139,692,012 227,255,223
Assets 787,773,044 976,375,200
Financial Autonomy 18% 23%
The decrease in this ratio is related with the decrease in Equity in 2013, in large measure due to the negative income generated by
the Group during the year.

The Group bases its disclosure of information on primary segments on its internal organisation for management purposes.
The Group is organised into three business areas: ‘Metallic Construction’, ‘Solar’ and ‘RE Developer’ that are coordinated and
supported by Martifer SGPS.
The Metallic Construction business area includes all the construction activities involving steel structures, aluminium façades and
glass and stainless steel solutions. It also includes the Wind Power division, components, turnkey wind farm delivery, the
Engineering division and the Naval division. In the ‘Solar’ segment the focus is on the production of PV panels, as well as on
turnkey solar park delivery, promotion, licensing, operation and maintenance of projects. The RE Developer segment includes the
promotion and development of renewable energy projects, with special emphasis on the wind sector.
The amounts presented in ‘Other’ is related to the services rendered by Martifer SGPS, S.A., Martifer Inovação e Gestão S.A.
(MIG) and Martifer Gestiune Si Servicii, S.R.L. (MIG RO).
The accounting policies used in the preparation of the information by business segment is the same as that used in the preparation

517,770,071 481,391,925
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 103
The sales and services rendered in the Metallic Construction segment increased by 6% to 254 million Euros in 2013, despite the
difficulties felt in the sector, primarily in Europe. The focus is being placed on other markets, namely Brazil and Saudi Arabia, to
counteract the negative trend in the Iberian Peninsula.
In the Solar segment the sales and services rendered increased 6% in 2013, when compared with 2012, totalling 245 million Euros,
justified by the project start-up in various geographies with the highlight going to the project in Mexico, currently the largest project
in Latin America, the projects in Portugal and to those in the United Kingdom.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, provisions and impairment losses (EBITDA), the
earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and profit after tax, by primary segment, are as follows:
EBITDA EBIT PROFIT AFTER TAX
FY 2013 FY 2012 FY 2013 FY 2012 FY 2013 FY 2012
Metallic Construction (18,731,186) (24,559,149) (34,608,778) (31,864,231) (54,188,284) (46,115,770)

In 2013, Consolidated EBITDA reflects a significant improvement when compared to 2012, increasing from 4 million Euros to 29
million Euros. This EBITDA improvement at the end of 2013 resulted fundamentally from the EBITDA contribution of RE Developer,
with the sale of wind parks.
The Metallic Construction EBITDA at the end of 2013 amounted to -19 million Euros, which compares to the -25 million Euros of the
previous year and fundamentally reflects the negative effects, resulting from the deteriorating European Market conditions and with
an impact on the margins practiced, i.e. the impact of the exit from Poland and additional unforeseeable costs in Works.
In the Solar segment, the EBITDA margin amounted to 12 million Euros, demonstrating that despite the competitive environment of
the sector, the internationalization effort and the negative performance of the activity in the United States, the segment managed to
keep its operating margins practically stable.
It should be noted that, during the period, the consolidated income statement disclosure of (i) profits / losses arising on the disposal
of subsidiaries and of (ii) foreign exchange gains and losses arising on non-financial transactions was re-analysed, with these
financial results being reclassified to operating results (Note 5).
The gains and losses in associate companies, the carrying amount of the investments in associate companies, as well as the
increases and reversals of provisions and impairment losses, by primary segment, are as follows:

4. SALES AND SERVICES RENDERED
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the breakdown of sales and services rendered is as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Revenue from the sale of merchandise 115,065,389 93,531,554

517,770,071 481,391,925
In 2013, sales and services rendered increased 8%, when compared with 2012, to Euro 518 million. This increase was influenced
primarily by the activity in Mexico and Saudi Arabia in the ‘Solar’ and ‘Metallic Construction’ segments, respectively.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 105
5. OTHER INCOME
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the breakdown of the caption ‘Other income’ is as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Change in production 26,077,004 (2,222,009)
Own work capitalised 2,094,208 12,214,246
Taxes - 569,168
Reversals of impairment losses:
Trade debtors (Note 26) 2,311,237 506,343
Other impairment losses 2,577,429 1,747,691
Supplementary income 1,825,939 1,816,890
Gains in inventories 707,979 292,258
Capital Gains in non-financial assets 13,462,081 2,856,219
Operating subsidies 30,055 446,074
Investments subsidies 247,560 1,247,338
Foreign exchange gains 7,714,619 -
Other operational gains 18,104,038 17,026,854
Total 75,152,149 36,501,071
The change in Production variation reflects, primarily, the solar projects underway in the United States of America, which during
2013 were, in consequence of the revision of ongoing projects, transferred from intangible assets and tangible fixed assets to
Inventories, as these projects and licenses are being developed for sale and not for its use by Martifer. In the end of 2013 these
projects were transferred to FTP Solar LLC (Note 21).
The amount of ‘Own work capitalized’ in 2013 is essentially related to the construction of wind farms in the ‘RE Developer’ segment,
in Romania, and with the construction of a building in Brazil, in the ‘Metallic Construction’ segment.
At 31 December 2013, ‘Other income’ includes the profit arising on the formalization, in November 2013, of the disposal by Martifer
Renewables SGPS, of the Option to Buy Rights it held in respect of the shares of the company MS Participações Societárias, SA,
to Banco Santander (Brasil), SA.
In 2012, the caption ‘Other income / expenses’ includes the impact arising on the capitalization of development costs incurred with
wind farms, in the ‘RE Developer’ segment, which have subsequently been completed.
During the period, the consolidated income statement disclosure (i) of profits/losses arising on the disposal of subsidiaries and (ii) of
foreign exchange gains and losses arising on non-financial transactions was re-analysed, with the resulting reclassification of these
financial results to operating results. It was considered that the prior should include solely the financing costs of the Group or the
results attained with the management of the cash and cash equivalents and borrowings. It was considered that this change doesn’t
have significant impact in the reading of financial information, and in this way it was not reexpressed financial statements of 2012.
Hence, at 31 December 2013, Capital profits / (losses) on non-financial assets include the profit arising on the formalization, in June
2013, of the disposal by Martifer Renewables, SGPS, S.A. of the shares it held in Energia Wiatrowa, Sp. Zo.o. This disposal,
agreed to on 30 September 2011, was subject to compliance with certain terms and conditions defined in the contract, namely the
conclusion of the Rymanów project, a wind farm with 13 turbines, in the region of Podkarpackie, being developed by Wiatrowa.

Cost of goods sold 71,015,465 119,308,411 190,323,876
During 2013, this caption decreased, when compared with 2012, mainly due to the increased reliance on subcontractors (Note 7).
7. SUBCONTRACTORS
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, costs with subcontractors are as follows:

Other 2,819,521 4,651,288
106,788,683 88,434,088
The caption ‘Specialized works’ includes essentially costs with the development of the solar projects underway in the United States
of America (Note 5).
The increase of ‘Transportation of goods’ in 2013 is directly related with the relocation of the activity, in ‘Metallic Construction’ segment
from Iberia Peninsula to other markets, particularly Brazil and Saudi Arabia, with the consequent increase in shipping costs.
9. STAFF COSTS
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, staff costs are as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Salaries 63,374,168 65,570,460

Other operational losses 4,107,767 2,095,698
Total 42,565,298 30,709,542
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). It is important to note the reclassification of exchange rate
differences as a consequence of the revision of the presentation of this caption in 2013 (Note 5). As referred in Note 5, it was
considered that this change doesn’t have significant impact in the reading of financial information, and in this way it was not
reexpressed financial statements of 2012.
11. PROVISIONS AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES
The provisions and impairment losses for the periods ended on 31 December 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012

9,963,360 (688,184)
During the period under analysis, an impairment loss was recognized for the full amount of the Goodwill in Sassall Aluminium, in
‘Metallic Construction’ segment.
The change in the caption ‘Impairment losses’ is essentially due to the recognition of impairment losses totalling 17.9 million euros,
to cover for potential losses in projects in progress in the ‘RE Developer’ segment, particularly in Spain and Romania, mainly due to
the law changes which penalized the respective tarifes.
The increase in provisions in 2013 includes, namely, a 1 million Euros provision set up in the companies Eurocab 12 through 19, in
respect of a lawsuit lodged involving the compliance with requirements for the application of the tariff regime regulating the activity
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 109
involving the production of energy under special regime. It also includes a provision for tax processes in the amount of 166
thousand Euros, in respect of prior year tax corrections, in the ‘RE Developer’ segment. Additionally, provisions for contractual
penalties were recognized in the ‘Metallic Construction’ and ‘Solar’ segments, in the amount of some 2 million Euros and 3 million
Euros, respectively. In the ‘Solar’ segment, some 3 million Euros were also provided for in respect of legal processes underway in
the United States and Italy (Note 33).

The gains on the sale of financial assets include the gain arising on the disposal, in July 2013, of part of the shareholding held in
PRIO ENERGY SGPS, S.A. to the fund represented by the managing company OXY CAPITAL – SOCIEDADE DE CAPITAL DE
RISCO, S.A., bringing the Groups’ shareholding down from 49% to 10%. This operation was approved by the Portuguese Competition
Authority in September 2013.
The captions ‘Foreign exchange gains / (losses)’ are essentially related with exchange variations registered in non-Euro Zone
Group companies (Note 1).
The ‘Interest expense included in the acquisition cost of assets in progress’ in 2012 resulted from the capitalization of borrowing
costs in the construction costs of qualifying assets. Major amounts related essentially to borrowing costs capitalized in the
construction of wind farms in Romania and of solar projects in the United States of America.
The ‘other financial expenses’ relates mainly with bank commission costs.

13. GAINS / (LOSSES) IN ASSOCIATE COMPANIES AND JOINT
ARRANGEMENTS
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the gains and losses in associate companies and joint-ventures are as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Nutre Group (26,648,990) (5,580,080)
Prio Energy Group 1,564,948 1,728,605

Martifer Amal (143,904) (30,720)
Parque Solar Seseña 1 80,046 92,656
M City Szczecin Sp. Zo.o - (6,441)
Other (411) (758)
(25,016,419) (1,811,435)
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 shareholding in Nutre, SGPS, S.A. and it was
registed an impairment loss of 5.9 million euro. The methods and assumptions used in the identification, or not, of any impaiment
losses to this financial asset were as follows:
NUTRE SGPS
Equity (atributtable to the Group) (1,065,349)
Financial asset 58,909,000
Period used 5 years cash flow projection
Growth rate (g) 1 1.00%
Average growth rate of EBITDA for five years 17.00%
Discount rate 2 12.71%
1 Growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows beyond the business plan period
2 Discount rate applied to the projected cash flows
The decrease in 1p.p. in discount rate would result in a reduction of approximately 6 million euros in impairment losses, while the
increase in 1p.p in actual rate would result in an increase in impairment loss of 5 million euros.

Of the amount of deferred tax assets related with tax losses booked at 31 December 2013, totalling Euro 11,204,142, approximately 50%
were generated in the United States and have a use by time limit of 15 years. The Group recognized these values based on projections
realized for the each business activity, demonstrating that positive taxable net profits will be generated to ensure their recoverability.
According to the tax returns and tax estimates of the companies that recognize deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses carried
forward, at 31 December 2013 and 2012, using tax rates applicable at those dates, the relevant details are as follows:

13,343,738 and Euro 3,583,895, respectively), with a positive impact on the income statement of Euro 3,339,138 (2012: positive
impact of Euro 2,728,627).
In 2013, deferred tax assets recognized on tax losses for which, based on projections made by the respective businesses, risks of
recoverability materialized, were annulled.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, taking into consideration 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.

Martifer SGPS and its companies located in Portugal are individually taxed and are subject to a tax rate of 25% in terms of
corporate income tax (‘Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas’ or IRC), increased by a municipal surcharge that can
reach 1.5% of the taxable profit, resulting in an aggregate tax rate of 26.5%. On the portion of taxable profits between € 1,500,000
and € 7,500,000 an additional State surcharge of 3% applies. On the portion in excess of € 7,500,000 a further tax of 5% is applied.
According to article 88 of the Tax Code ‘Imposto sobre o Rendimento das Pessoas Colectivas’, Portuguese companies are also
subject to autonomous taxes on some expenses, at tax rates defined in 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 90% 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.
Additionally, the net income generated by foreign subsidiaries are taxed at local tax rates, namely, those generated in Spain,
Poland, Romania, France, Italy, Belgium, the United States of America, Brazil and the United Kingdom are taxed at 30%, 19%,
16%, 33.9%, 28%, 34%, 40.5%, 34% and 26%, respectively. Due to the tax rate change in Portugal in 2014, decreed in 2013, the
deferred taxes were restated using the 23% tax rate.
Additionally, the Polish tax authorities granted Martifer Polska an income tax relief, for a period of 19 years. However, as this tax
benefit is related to future taxable income and its quantification is not possible, it has not been recorded.
Portuguese Tax Authorities can review the income tax returns of Martifer SGPS and of its Portuguese subsidiaries for a period of
four years (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 are extended or suspended. Therefore, all
annual tax returns for the year 2009 through 2012 (inclusive) are still open to such review.
As corroborated and supported by our lawyers, there are no material assets or liabilities associated with possible or probable tax
contingencies or additional assessments by the Tax Authorities that should be disclosed in the Notes to the consolidated financial
statements at 31 December 2013 and 2012.
PAGE 114 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, income tax receivable and payable is as follows:
2013 2012
Income tax – Assets 1,779,777 2,692,473
Income tax – Liabilities (3,278,785) (3,623,443)
(1,499,008) (930,970)
15. DIVIDENDS
In 2013 and 2012, the Group did not distribute dividends
16. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Martifer SGPS 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.
Since the average market price of Martifer’ s shares, during the period between 1 January 2013 and 31 December 2013, was Euro
0.64, 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.
Therefore, at 31 December 2013 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 weighted average number of shares outstanding is net of 2,135,634 own treasury shares acquired by Martifer SGPS between
2010 and 31 December 2013, and corresponds to 2,215,910 shares.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the basic and diluted earnings per share may be summarised as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Profit for the year (I) (68,961,164) (55,852,988)
Weighted average number of shares outstanding (II) 97,864,366 97,864,366
Basic and diluted earnings per share (I) / (II) (0.7047) (0.5707)
from continuing operations (0.7047) (0.5696)
from Assets as held for sale - (0.0012)

Both the fair value allocation of the assets and liabilities acquired as well as 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’. During the period ended on 31 December 2013, impairment losses in respect of goodwill, in an
PAGE 116 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
amount of Euro 4,658,577, were recorded in the Metallic Construction segment. These impairment losses are recorded in the
caption ‘Impairment losses’ in the income statement.
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, and using different discount rates according to the risks inherent to each business.
At 31 December 2013, the methods and assumptions used in the identification, or not, of any impairment losses in the more
significant amounts of goodwill recorded by each of the segments in the accompanying financial statements, with exception of
Sassall in which goodwill was eliminated by the fact that it has no use value, are as follows:

The Board of Directors concluded, at 31 December 2013, based on the discounted value of the provisional cash flows of the cash
generating units of this business segment, discounted at the applicable rate, that the carrying amount of the net assets, including
goodwill, did not exceed their recoverable amount.
The projected cash flows are based on the historic performance and on the expectations regarding future developments of the
business. The persons 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 will not result in impairment losses.

The valuation criteria and depreciation rates used for tangible fixed assets are disclosed in captions iv) and v) of the section ‘Main
accounting policies, judgements and estimates’ in Note 1 ‘Accounting Policies’.
The acquisition cost of Tangible fixed assets held by the Group, acquired under financial leases, at 31 December 2013, amounted
to Euro 32,429,364, and their carrying amount to Euro 23,632,096.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, there were no tangible fixed assets pledged or mortgaged to financial institutions as guarantees
for loans granted, except for those acquired through financial lease contracts or through Project Finance and those mentioned in
Note 38.
During the year, the Group assessed the estimated recoverable amount of some tangible fixed assets, taking into account internal
and external factors which indicated that some assets might be recorded at a value higher than their recoverable amount.
The assessment of impairment losses in tangible and intangible fixed assets of the Group was based on the business plans of the
companies, using the assumptions described below.
SPAIN ROMANIA
Tangible fixed assets 33,818,373 54,668,949

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 (Portugal), the plant in Vagos (Portugal) and the Aricesti land (Romania), all held for
rental income.
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). The Martifer Group performs regular revaluations of these properties, and gains and
losses arising on changes in the fair value are taken to the income statement in the period in which they arise.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the movements occurring in the caption ‘Investment properties’ are as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Opening balance 16,206,768 17,274,846
Transfers - 3,448,525
Changes in fair value - 86,393
Effect of foreign currency exchange differences (10,903) 363,302
Reclassification to Assets held for sale (Note 28) - (4,966,297)
16,195,865 16,206,768
The transfer recorded in 2012 in ‘Investment Properties’ reflects the reclassification of the Vagos plant (Portugal) from the caption
‘Tangible fixed assets’ to this caption, in consequence of it being rented out.
The changes in fair value were recorded in the income statement, in the caption ‘Other operational income/ expenses’.
The global amount of the valuations carried out during the year and the values at which the assets are booked in the Group
financial statements, are as follows:
FAIR VALUE INDEPENDENT
APPRAISAL
Gebox 3.588.000 3.591.000
Mad. Vouga 1.415.300 1.417.000
Benavente 9.364.000 9.364.000
Aricesti 1.828.565 3.217.401
16.195.865 17.589.401
At the end of 2013, the Aricesti land, in common with other investment properties, was subjected to an independent appraisal,
realized by S.C. Dumitrascu Expertize, which attributed it a market value of Euro 3.2 million, an amount in excess of its acquisition
cost. However, given the legal proceedings in progress regarding the ownership of the land, the Group, prudently, decided to
maintain the land’s value unchanged.
Earnings obtained from investment properties in 2013 amounted to Euro 662,819 (Euro 922,578 in 2012) and are recorded in the
caption ‘Sales and Services Rendered’.

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.
At 31 December 2013, the accounts receivable recorded as ‘Doubtful trade debtors’ are 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 2013 was 177 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 client selection (in quality and amounts) as well as collection process effectiveness.
The Board of Directors believes that the amount recorded in the caption ‘Loans and accounts 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.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012 the non-current balances with related companies refer mainly to supplementary capital granted,
bearing no interest and with no reimbursement date.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the Group does not have any ‘held-to-maturity’ financial assets or ‘financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss’.

28. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
In December 2012, following the decision taken to close the Polish facility, an active plan was put into effect to sell Martifer Polska,
Sp. Zo.o’s land and factory, integrating the ‘Metallic Construction’ segment. Additionally, negotiations are underway for the sale of
the real estate project in Szczecin (Poland), previously classified as an investment property, with its sale being highly probable. The
Group continues committed to selling these assets. Thus, they are satisfied the conditions set by IFRS 5 to the mantainance of this
asset as Asset held for sale for a period higher than 12 months.
At the end of the first half-year of 2013, Martifer Renováveis Geração de Energia e Participações S.A., 55% controlled by Martifer
Renewables SGPS, celebrated a contract to sell 100%, subject to compliance with various conditions, of the company Rosa dos
Ventos Geração e Comercialização de Energias, S.A. (Rosa dos Ventos), that operates the wind farms Canoa Quebrada and
Lagoa do Mato.
Since all the conditions set by IFRS 5 are satisfied, both the assets in Poland and the assets and liabilities of Rosa dos Ventos are
classified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities associated with assets held for sale”, as appropriate.
The breakdown of the assets and the liabilities associated with the assets held for sale at 31 December 2013 and 2012 is as

Share premium
The share premium corresponds to additional amounts obtained with the issuance of share capital increases. In accordance with
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 Euro 7,696,844.
Own treasury shares
Martifer holds 2,215,910 own treasury shares, corresponding to 2.22 % of its share capital. In accordance with Portuguese

Fair value reserves – Cash flow hedge derivatives
This caption reflects the fair value changes in the cash flow hedges considered effective and can neither be distributed to
shareholders nor used to absorb losses (Note 37).
Foreign currency translation reserves
Foreign currency translation reserves reflect the foreign currency exchange differences arising on: (i) translation of foreign
operations; (ii) net investment in subsidiaries and (iii) goodwill. These reserves can neither be distributed to shareholders nor used
to absorb losses, being transferred to the income statement when the affiliates are sold or liquidated.
Stock options reserves
Stock options reserves reflect the fair value of the services rendered by some workers, reviewed, at each reporting date,
considering the number of options expected to become exercisable.
There is no stock options plan in the Group at 31 December 2013.
Other reserves
In addition to the legal reserve, this caption includes the results of prior years and an undistributable reserve in the amount of Euro
2,868,519 relating to the value of treasury shares.
In accordance with Portuguese legislation, the amount of the distributable reserves is determined taking into consideration the
individual financial statements of Martifer SGPS, S.A., which has been prepared in accordance with IFRS.

At 31 December 2013, the Group’s net debt amounts to Euro 335,464,198. We call attention to the fact that the net debt calculation
includes, besides the borrowings mentioned above, ‘finance leases’, ‘derivatives’ and ‘cash and cash equivalents’
During 2013, various debt restructuring processes were finalized, permitting a significant decrease in short-term debt when
compared to 2012. This activity is expected to continue during 2014, implementing the debt restructuring strategy of the Group. Part
of the short-term financing is also expected to be repaid with the proceeds from the sale of assets, especially wind farms, solar
projects and, residually, from the sale of real-estate projects and from a equity increase in 2014 in the ‘Metallic Construction’
segment (Note 41).
The Group continues focused on reducing Net Debt; as such, it continues committed to the process of selling non-core assets,
especially wind farms, solar projects and, residually, real-estate projects, during 2014. In other words, Management continues
focused on the Group’s objective of reducing the debt level down to between 230 and 250 million Euros by the end of 2014.
Other borrowings
The amount of ‘Other borrowings’ includes approximately Euro 2.7 million in obligations under finance leases (related to the
financing of the real-estate projects recorded as ‘Work in progress’ – Note 23) which, in the event of the sale of said projects, will be
settled at that moment and not in accordance with the established reimbursement plan, which contractually occurs after 2013.
The caption ‘Other borrowings’ also includes the loans obtained from two Portuguese governmental agencies, namely Agência
Portuguesa para o Investimento (API) and Instituto de Apoio às Pequenas e Médias Empresas e ao Investimento (IAPMEI), as
support for the investment carried out by the Group, amounting Euro 5 million. These borrowings bear no interest.

Of all the borrowings, only about 8% of the bank loans bear a fixed interest rate or have interest rate hedging (Note 37). The fixed
interest rates are in line with market rates. The remaining bank loans bear interest rates that are indexed to the market rates for the
respective terms; it is therefore considered that the fair value of these borrowings is similar to its carrying amount.

The average interest rate applied to these paper programmes is 5.99%.
For some of the borrowings referred to above, and in accordance with its interest rate risk management policy, the Group
contracted several derivative instruments, which are described in Note 36, to convert the variable rates in force into fixed rates.
At 31 December 2013, the Group’s interest rate sensitivity analysis may be summarized as follows:
ESTIMATED IMPACT
2013
Change in financial results due to a 1 p.p. alteration of the interest rate applied to the entire debt 3,565,945
Fixed-rate hedging 214,297
Interest rate derivatives instruments hedging 63,439
Sensitivity of financial results due to interest rate changes 3,288,209
The interest rate risk management policy aims to reduce the Group’s exposure to variable interest rates using interest rate swaps.
During 2013, and as a consequence of the evolution of interest rates in the financial markets, this policy resulted in the loss
expressed in the table below:

32. TRADE PAYABLES AND OTHER PAYABLES
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, trade payables and other payables may be analysed as follows:

Total 13,725,090 22,068,545 158,882,791 215,514,136
The balance of non-current ‘Trade payables’ is related, primarily, with retentions on work performed by external parties, which will
be released at the end of the guarantee period. These amounts bear no interest.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, 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.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the ageing of accounts payable in the captions ’Trade payables’ and ‘Other payables’ is as
follows:

The average payment period of the Group hovers around 234 days.
Accounts payable more than 180 days overdue relate to amounts payable to trade creditors with which the Group maintains regular
commercial relations.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, the non-current balances due to associate companies and to other shareholders relate, primarily,
to loans obtained from jointly controlled entities and associate companies, which bear interest at Euribor 3M increased by a 6.75%
spread.
Besides the financial liabilities disclosed above and in Notes 30 and 31, also above, the Group does not have any other financial
liabilities.

12,520,693 11,366,272 (1,393,260) (954,505) 787,682 22,326,882
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
0.04% and 0.18%, depending on the business segment and company.
The amount of other provisions at 31december 2013 includes approximately 3 million euro of a provision recorded in companies
Eurocab 12 to 19 about a dispute regarding the compliance of requirements in the application of tariff regime that regulates the
activity of production of electricity, in a special regime. It includes also provisions to estimate responsabilities associated with
possible contractual obligations in operacional activities, in approximately 5 million euros.
The Group did not record provisions for the decommissioning of the wind and solar parks, since it currently has no legal or
contractual obligation to decommission these assets.
Considering the uncertainties surrounding these provisions, as well as their nature, the Group did not financially discount these
amounts.
34. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
At 31 December 2013, the contingent liabilities are as follows:
a) 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, which object was the manufacture, execution, delivery and installation of the steel roof on the
Baltic Arena Stadium in Gdańsk (Poland), in the amount of approximately Euro 11.3 million. On 2 September 2010, Martifer received,
from Energomontaz – Południe S.A., notice of the immediate termination of the agreement, without any prior warning. The main reason
alleged for the termination were delays in the execution, which, in Martifer’s opinion, is totally unfounded and ultimately ineffective.
Despite attempts at the amicable settlement of the matter, Martifer has been forced to lodge a motion with the Court. On 17 December
2010, Martifer lodged an official lawsuit with the Court in Katowice, against Energomontaz. The amount of the lawsuit is approximately
Euro 12.6 million, including interest, the cost of the capital involved and the damages caused to Martifer through lack of cooperation. On
18 January 2012, Energomontaz - Południe SA lodged its legal suit against Martifer, involving Euro 5.8 million. Court hearings are in
progress and the Martifer Group has recognized, in its financial statements, impairment losses relating to the account receivable,
production not invoiced and the bank guarantee executed; it therefore considers that this litigation risk is adequately covered in its
financial statements.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 139
b) On 28 April 2011, construction contract no. 3/Z/2011 was signed between Martifer Konstrukcje and Śląskie Centrum Logistyczne. On
15 May 2012, Sląskie Centrum Logistyczne S.A. levied Martifer Konstrukcje with a penalty of 2,198,000 PLN since, in their opinion,
Martifer was behind in terms of contract execution. This penalty was treated by the client as an amount due and deducted from the
receivables balance. On 4 October 2012, Martifer Konstrukcje sp. z o.o. lodged with the Court in Gliwice an action against Śląskie
Centrum Logistyki S.A., in which Martifer claims:
The amount of 540 thousand Euros plus interest as from 2 June 2012, for the non-payment of the invoice dated 27 April 2012, based on the construction agreement;
The amount of 540 thousand Euros plus interest as from the date of the court case, as a penalty for delays in the completion of the final acceptance;
An amount of 133 thousand Euros plus interest from the date of the court case, as payment for additional work. The Court hearings commenced in January 2014.
In respect of the above mentioned amounts, Martifer Konstrukcje has only recognized in its books the receivable described in the first
point, having, nevertheless, created a 100% provision against said amount.
c) Martifer is currently involved in two arbitration proceedings. On one hand, there is a dispute between Martifer and Alstom regarding the
termination of the project in Sostanj (Slovenia). Martifer claims for compensation under the agreement, in 1.4 million Euros and Alstom
claims for damages and increased costs. In addition, Martifer claims for the reimbursement of the bank guarantees executed, in the
amount of 6.1 million Euros. On the other hand, there is a dispute between Martifer and Alstom regarding the termination of the project in
Mannheim (Germany). Martifer claims for compensation under the agreement, in 6.9 million Euros for work done and costs incurred, in
3.5 million Euros in reimbursement of the wrongfully executed bank guarantees, as well as for further amounts (financial charges for
bank guarantees and interest), still to be determined. Alstom claims for damages and increased costs. In order to safeguard the risk
involved, the Group decided, as a matter of prudence, to recognize in its financial statements an impairment loss, that it considers
adequate, in respect of the amounts under discussion, totalling some 10 million Euros.
The Group's expectation is that no losses will occur with these processes over and above the amount of impairment losses already
recognized in its financial statements.
35. CURRENT TAX LIABILITIES

The difference from 2012 regarding the amount recognized in Equity relates to the Wiatrowa derivative, Wiatrowa being a company
classified as an Asset held for sale.
The fair value of the above derivative contracts has been determined by the counterparties and, as these derivatives qualify as cash
flow hedges, has 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).

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 years presented are as follows:
i) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale when their value is recovered through a sales transaction as opposed to through
their continued use or when the Company loses control over a significant operational unit. However, such classification requires that
the sale transaction be highly probable, that the asset is available for immediate sale, that the Board of Directors is committed to its
sale and that it occurs in the short period (normally, but not exclusively, in the space of one year).
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or realisable value net of selling
expenses, and the depreciation of fixed assets affected to an operational unit held for sale is interrupted during the related period.
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.
The depreciation rates used correspond to the following estimated useful lives:
Transportation equipment 4 years
Office equipment 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
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 161
- 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.
PAGE 162 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
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.
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
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 163
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.
PAGE 164 ANNUAL REPORT 2013
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.
The most significant accounting estimates reflected in the financial statements for the periods ended at 31 December 2013 and
2012 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.
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.
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.
c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk reflects the prospect of the Company not satisfying its financial responsibilities with the available financial resources.
The Company seeks to ensure that the structure of its funding matches the nature of its obligations. Investments in fixed
assets, including financial investments, are funded by long term financing (equity and long term loans), whilst short term obligations
are funded through short term loans. Long term loans are usually arranged for periods ranging from 5 to 7 years, mostly with a
grace period in respect of the start of the principal’s repayment schedule ranging from 1 to 2 years.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PAGE 165
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.

449,728 1,891,618
During 2013, the level of services that the Holding company provided to other Group companies decreased significantly due to the

At the end of 2013, impairment losses on shares, amounting to Euro 66 million, were recorded, resulting from the impairment test
performed on those assets. The increase of impairment loss in 2013 is mainly due to the deterioration of the equity of its subsidiaries,
motivated by losses in operating activities (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.

Martifer SGPS, S.A. and its subsidiaries are subject to corporate income tax (IRC) at the normal rate of 25. In addition, a municipal
surcharge, in this case of 1.5% is also applied. When the taxable profit subject to corporate income tax is between € 1,500,000 and
€ 7,500,000 there is an additional state surcharge of 3% and for the amount above of € 7,500,000 applies a taxe rate of 5%.
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 90% 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 2009 through 2012 may be subject to review.
The Board of Directors believes that any adjustments resulting from reviews/inspections by the tax authorities will have no
significant impact on the financial statements at 31 December 2013.
At 31 December 2013 and 2012, ‘Income Tax’ are made up as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Corporate income tax – Assets - 738,605
Corporate income tax – Liabilities (78,351) -
(78,351) 738,605
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: share 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 Euro 0.64 between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2013, which is
lower than the option exercise price (Euro 3.84), the latter can be considered non-dilutive as their exercising would result in a
reduction in the ordinary shares in circulation.
Hence, at 31 December 2013 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 2,135,634 shares, corresponding to own shares acquired by
Martifer SGPS during 2010 and 2013 totalling 2,215,910 shares.
At 31December 2013 and 2012, the calculation of earnings per share, basic and diluted, may be demonstrated as follows:
FY 2013 FY 2012
Net profit for the period (I) (49,379,995) (12,517,886)
Weighted average number of shares in circulation (II) 97,864,366 97,864,366

The financial investements 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 Inovação e Gestão,
S.A., Martifer Metallic Constructions, SGPS, S.A., Martifer Energy Systems, SGPS, S.A., Martifer Global, SGPS, S.A and Nutre,
SGPS, S.A..The impairment tests performed consider the following assumptions:
To Martifer Global, SGPS, S.A. and Martifer Inovação e Gestão, S.A. it was considered, as a valid indicator, the amount of
consolidated and individual Equity, respectively, and, as a consequence, impairment losses of Euro 155,470 and Euro
414,859, respectively, were recorded (Note 5)
This assumption is justified by the fact that these companies render services to the group and the amount of its assets is not
significant.
For the shareholdings of Martifer Metallic Constructions, SGPS, S.A., Martifer Energy Systems, SGPS, S.A. and Nutre, SGPS,
S.A., it was considered adequated 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 each business unit and approved by the respective
Board of Directors and using different discount rates according to the risks inherent to each business.
At 31 december 2013, it was recorded impairment losses in Martifer Metallic Constructions, SGPS, S.A. and Martifer Energy
Systems, SGPS, S.A. of Euro 30,083,614 and in Nutre, SGPS, S.A. of Euro 39,309,000.
At 31 December 2013, the methods and assumptions used in the identification, or not, of any impaiment losses to these
financial assets were as follows:
MARTIFER METALLIC CONSTRUCTIONS E
MARTIFER ENERGY SYSTEMS NUTRE SGPS
Equity (atributtable to the Group) 21,502,517 (1,065,349)
Financial asset 156,639,759 58,909,000
Period used 5 years cash flow projection 5 years cash flow projection
Growth rate (g) 1 2.00% 1.00%
Average growth rate of EBITDA for five years 17.00% 17.00%
Discount rate 2 8.80% 12.71%
1 Growth rate used to extrapolate the cash flows beyond the business plan period
2 Discount rate applied to the projected cash flows
For Martifer Metallic Constructions and Martifer Energy Systems, the assumption of na actual rate lower in 1p.p. would result in no
booking of impairment losses. An actual rate higher in 1pp would result in an increase in impairment loss of 34 million euros.
For Nutre SGPS, the decrease in 1p.p. in discount rate would result in a reduction of approximately 6 million euros in impairment
losses, while the increase in 1p.p in actual rate would result in an increase in impairment loss of 5 million euros.
For the cases in which it was apured impairment loss, carrying amount was adjusted to the use value resulting from impairment loss
test.
For Martifer Renewables, SGPS, S.A. Group considers as a valid indicator consolidated Equity, and in this way, it was reversed
part of impairment registed in previous years, in the amount of Euro 4,176,390. This principle had in basis the fact that Martifer
Renewables, SGPS, SA has a low turnover, comparing with total assets, and considering the consolidated accounts this already
includes assets associated with wind farms, in which it was made analysis to the recuperable amounts and booked impairment
losses.

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

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 Executive Director, 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 2013 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 2013, the Board of Directors met eight 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:
NAME OF DIRECTOR ATTENDANCE
Carlos Manuel Marques Martins (Chairman of the BD) 100%
Jorge Alberto Marques Martins (Vice Chairman) 100%
Mário Rui Rodrigues Matias 100%
Arnaldo José Nunes da Costa Figueiredo 100%
Luis Filipe Cardoso da Silva * 87,5%
Luis António de Castro de Valadares Tavares * 75%
Jorge Bento Ribeiro Barbosa Farinha* 87,5%
* The director justified his absence and was represented by another director at the respective meeting, as per proxy letter issued to the effect.

Annual Shareholders’ General Meeting.
The remuneration policy is oriented along principles and criteria based on the duties carried out, the degree of complexity and

performance appraisal, the economic situation of the company and general market conditions for equivalent situations, as better set

III. SUPERVISION
a) Composition
30. Details of the Supervisory Board
Martifer’s supervisory model is based on a Supervisory Board and a Statutory Auditor (ROC). The functional separation between
the Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor basically follows a division of the functions into two: the political supervision being
exercised by the Supervisory Board, with the review and certification of the financial statements resting with the Statutory Auditor.
31. Composition of the Supervisory Board with details of the articles of association’s minimum
and maximum number of members, duration of the term of office, number of effective

PAGE 210 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
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 2013, 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 2013, 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.
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;
− 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;
− Examines, whenever it considers convenient and with regularity, the Company's bookkeeping;
− 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;
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 211
− 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
− proposing the destitution of the External Auditor with just cause.
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.
IV. STATUTORY AUDITOR
39. Details of the statutory auditor and the partner that represents same
The Statutory Auditors, effective and alternate, were elected for the triennium 2012-2014 at the 10 April 2013 General Meeting,
following the resignation on 25 February 2013 of the Statutory Auditor and of the respective alternate, are:
PRESIDENT PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS & Associados – Sociedade de Revisores Oficiais de Contas, Lda., as statutory auditor (effective)
ALTERNATE Mr JOSÉ PEREIRA ALVES, as statutory auditor (alternate)
The Statutory Auditor can only be elected at a General Meeting. If a vacancy occurs in this body it shall be filled by the alternate
member, and, if the latter does not remain in that function, it can only be filled through the election of a new member at a
Shareholders’ General Meeting.
The Statutory Auditor may be represented by Hermínio António Paulos Afonso or by António Joaquim Brochado Correia, it being
understood that for the 2013 financial year the representative of the Statutory Auditor was Hermínio António Paulos Afonso.
40. Indication of the number of years that the statutory auditor consecutively carries out
duties at the company and/or group
As better described in the previous point, the current Statutory Auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers & Associados, SROC, Lda, was
appointed at the General Meeting of 10 April 2013, carrying out its duties since then.
41. Description of other services that the statutory auditor provides to the company

PAGE 212 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
V. EXTERNAL AUDITOR
42. Details of the external auditor appointed in accordance with Article 8 and of the partner

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 2013 financial year.
PwC has, since 2010, been represented by Mr Herminio 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, ie around 4 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.
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.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 213
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.
47. Details of the annual remuneration paid by the Company and/or legal entities in a
control or group relationship to the auditor and other natural or legal persons pertaining to
the same network and the percentage breakdown relating to the services in question
During the 2013 financial period, the annual remuneration paid to the auditors and other private or corporate bodies belonging to
the same network, borne by the Company and / or legal entities in a control or group relationship, amounted to 444.808 thousand

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.
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 2013, 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.

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,
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
PAGE 216 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
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.
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 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;
− 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.
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
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 217
FINANCIAL RISKS
a) Price risk
The volatility of raw-material prices constitutes a risk for the Group, both in the Construction and in the Solar Areas. The changes in the
price of steel and aluminium impact the operational activity of metallic construction, and the market evolution of solar panel prices may
also influence the solar activity. Martifer has sought to mitigate this risk, in like manner in both areas, through 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 reflects the possibility of registering gains or losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rates between
different currencies. The Group’s exposure to currency risk results from the existence of foreign based subsidiaries in countries with
a currency other than the Euro, 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 ultimately aims to reduce the sensitivity of its results to 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.
Certain operational activities of the Group are exposed to changes in foreign exchange rates vis-à-vis their local currency. The
prices of some raw-materials, namely steel and aluminium, are generally expressed or indexed to the US Dollar, which can have an
impact on the Group’s results. It is possible, to a large extent, to include these variations in the sales prices. The Group seeks to
hedges this exposure by contracting foreign exchange derivative contracts in the subsidiary exposed to the said risk. Over the last
two years, the contracting of derivative contracts underwent a fair increase in the Group, fundamentally for two reasons: 1) due to
the increase in operating revenue in Brazil, in the metallic construction area, and the recent the volatility of the Real, and 2) in the
case of the solar business, for currency protection in relation to the US Dollar.
c) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk reflects the possibility of changes in future interest charges on loans contracted due to the evolution of market
interest rate levels.
The Group relies on external financing to fund its activity, being exposed to interest rate risk as a significant part of the Group’s
borrowings are indexed to market interest rates. At the end of 2013, the financing levels attained were 3% fixed rate and 97%
variable rate, which compares to the 17% and 83% at the end of 2012, respectively.
Regarding the most significant medium- and long-term loans, the Group relies on fixed interest rate loans or uses interest rate
derivatives to hedge exposure to interest rate risk on said loans. 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, as such, are considered perfect
hedges.
d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk reflects Martifer Group’s ability to satisfy its financial responsibilities with the available financial resources. Martifer
Group manages its liquidity risk in two main ways:
− On the one hand, it seeks to ensure that the Group financing structure adequately reflects the nature of its obligations.
Investments in fixed assets, including financial investments, are funded through long-term facilities (equity and long-term loans)
PAGE 218 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
whilst short-term obligations are funded through short-term loans. Long-term loans are generally contracted for periods of 5 to 7
years, generally with a grace period of the principal of 1 to 2 years.
− On the other hand, subsidiaries have contracted, with financial institutions, short-term facilities for amounts that assure their
liquidity. Subsidiaries also have adequate amounts of cash to cover their short-term commitments.
e) Credit risk
The worsening of the worldwide economic conditions and the escalation of the adversities facing local, national and international
economies can influence Martifer Group’s client default rate, with negative impacts on Martifer Group’s results.
Aware of this reality, Martifer Group seeks to evaluate all its clients’ credit risk in order to establish credit limits, the ultimate purpose
of which being to ensure the collection of the amounts due within the periods negotiated.
With this objective in mind, Martifer Group uses credit rating agencies, regularly analyses risk and credit control, and collects from
and manages processes in litigation, procedures which are all considered essential to manage the credit conceded and to minimise
the risk of client default.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
a) Metallic Construction
Operational risks in the Metallic Construction area, which also incorporated the energy equipment area as from 2011, are currently
divided into three sources of risk – client, supplier and external risk, which, in turn, is 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 disfavour or dissatisfaction with the service/product as well as the risk of non-
payment of the price stipulated following delivery of the projects.
In terms of demand volatility, it is important to highlight that the business area depends, in part, on the launch of public tenders for
public infrastructures (ex. bridges, airports, stations). Under 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 specifications defined by the contracting entity, that may represent
additional costs for the Martifer Group. It is to be highlighted that, notwithstanding said dependency on public tenders, Martifer has
been able to win business not subject to public tender, thereby reducing its exposure to this risk.
Under supplier risk, it should be noted that Martifer Construções, whilst specialist in engineering projects, very often relies on
subcontractors, who, in turn, may fail in the execution of their contracts and jeopardise, through a domino-effect, the meeting of
project delivery deadlines. In other words, there is also a risk of delays in delivering the projects, with the inherent contractual
penalties.
In the specific case of wind farm construction projects, this problem is mitigated by contemplating guarantees and penalties in the
contracts, due by the suppliers of equipment or turnkey projects, this being so because delays in delivering the wind farms may
result in obtaining less attractive tariffs and, consequently, lower profitability rates on the projects. On the other hand, reliance on
internationally renowned suppliers, the most important being REpower and Suzlon, reduces the dependency on suppliers and
guarantees the quality of the equipment. This form of risk management also allows for the simultaneous mitigation of turbine
performance risk, since operation and maintenance contracts are signed with turbine suppliers, for periods of, typically, 5 years.
Finally, the risk associated with wind turbine performance is also reduced through adequate and programmed preventive
maintenance.
Finally, in terms of external risks, and considering that the area of Metallic Construction is strongly correlated with economic growth
and with gross fixed capital formation, it is one that 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
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 219
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.
The manner found by the Metallic Construction area to mitigate these external risks, was to disperse its activity over different
geographies, namely through the entry into markets presenting higher growth rates in the construction sector, as is the case of the
Angolan market, the Brazilian market, or even countries sporadically visited such as Saudi Arabia, which will help offset both the
effects of the economic recession in Portugal as well as 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 calendars initially foreseen for the completion of the respective projects. Despite the fact that this
type of delay usually carries no contractual penalties, in some cases these situation can constitute a risk for the Group given the
planning difficulties they can present.
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, both in the process of being adopted, should reduce the possible impact of this situation.
The solar photovoltaic modules produced by the Company are traded with 5-year warranty and 25-year performance warranty
periods, as a result of which 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 respect of modules acquired for the construction of solar parks; however, the Group’s responsibility, in this case,
is diminished in that there is a right of recourse vis-à-vis the suppliers.
On the other hand, most of the equipment used in the production of solar photovoltaic modules is customised for 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, carrying out a judicious selection of suppliers and working towards garnering a
diversification of suppliers for each of the relevant raw-materials of the production process.
c) RE Developer
The productivity indices associated with the renewable energy business depend on the volume of energy produced by the wind
farms and its profitability, factors that depend on the location of the wind farms and on the seasons of the year (seasonality). Given
that the wind turbines are only driven when wind velocity is within specific parameters, which parameters depend on the supplier
and the type of turbine, if the said velocity is not within the parameters or if it is at the lower end of the limits, the energy production
of the wind farms will decrease.
The readiness and power curve of each turbine is contractually guaranteed, with indemnities being payable by the suppliers for
situations where its readiness is not satisfied or the power curve is not attained.
This risk is also mitigated through the geographical distribution of the wind farms, allowing for the set-off of wind velocity variations
at each farm and ensuring the relative stability of the volume of total energy produced.
Licencing Process
Wind farms and solar parks are subject to rigorous regulations in the matters of power plant development, construction, licensing
and operation. If the relevant authorities in the jurisdictions in which the Group operates stop or reduce their support for the
development of wind farms and solar parks, such actions may have a significant impact on the activity.
PAGE 220 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
LEGAL RISKS
Martifer is subject to national and local laws and regulations in the various geographies and markets where it operates and that
seek to assure, amongst others, worker rights, protection of the environment and spatial planning and the maintenance of an open
and competitive market. Hence, legal and regulatory changes that affect the conditions conducive to the development of Martifer
Groups’ activities and, consequently, prejudice or impede the attainment of the strategic objectives require each company to adapt
to the new regulatory realities.
Legal risk management is carried out by the Legal Departments of the Holding Company and of each of the Group’s Business
Areas and is monitored within the scope of the internal legal and fiscal advisory services dedicated to the respective activities,
which operate in the dependency of management, developing its competencies in articulation with the other fiscal and financial
departments, so as to assure the protection of the Company’s interests and, ultimately, the stakeholders’, in strict compliance with
their legal duties.
The members of said legal departments and internal advisory services have specialised formal qualifications and undergo regular
training and updating courses.
Legal and fiscal advisory services are also assured, nationally and internationally, by external professionals, selected amongst
reputable firms and in accordance with the highest standards of competence, ethics and experience.
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.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 221
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.
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
force, complying with the best practices of transparency, relevance and reliability, is subject to an effective verification, whether by
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 use of accounting policies that are explained in the Notes to the Financial Statements;
− The financial information is analysed by the persons responsible for the management of the respective business areas, seeking
to exercise permanent monitoring and the respective budgetary control;
− The accounting records and the preparation of the financial statements are prepared by the Financial, Accounting and Planning
and Management Control Departments, that guarantee the control over the recording of the transactions of the business
processes and over the balances of the asset, liability and equity accounts;
− The consolidated financial statements are prepared periodically, on a quarterly basis, by the Consolidation and Reporting
Department and validated by the Planning and Management Control Department;
PAGE 222 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
− The Management Report is prepared by the competent internal departments, with the contribution and additional review of the
various business and support areas. The Statutory Auditor also reviews the content of this report (the annual and half-yearly
versions) and its conformity with the supporting financial information;
− The Group’s financial statements are prepared under the supervision of the executive directors of the Group. The documents comprising
the half-yearly and annual reports are sent for the review and approval of the Board of Directors. Subsequent to their approval, these
documents are sent to the External Auditor, who issues his legal certification of the accounts and the External Audit’s Report;
− 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 is 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;
− 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 (2012-2014), is as follows:
PAGE 226 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
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 2013 corporate period, a member of the Remuneration Setting Committee – Ms. 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.
68. Knowledge and experience in remuneration policy issues by members of the
Remuneration Committee
The Company considers that all the indivuduals 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.
At the Company’s General Meeting of 10 April 2013, 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.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 227
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 2013 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.
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 2013
financial period were those contained in the Remuneration Policy Statement, which was subject to resolution at the Company’s
General Meeting of 10 April 2013, and which is attached to this report as Annex III.
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.
PAGE 228 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
The fixed component of the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors with executive functions, as well as of the non-
independent, 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 2013, 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.
72. The deferred payment of the remuneration’s variable component, specifying the
relevant deferral period
During the 2013 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
supervisory bodies, drawn up by the Remuneration Setting Committee and approved at the General Meeting of 10 April 2013, does
not foresee the deferral of variable remuneration, when attributed.
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 2013 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.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 229
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 2013, 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 non-
financial 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.

PAGE 232 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013

The Company has no active Stock or Stock Options Plan; consequently, the information pertaining to this point is not applicable.
E. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
I. Control mechanisms and procedures
89. Mechanisms implemented by the Company for the purpose of controlling transactions with
related parties (For said purpose, reference is made to the concept resulting from IAS 24)
Transactions with Directors of Martifer or with entities in a group or dominant relationship in which the former are likewise also
Directors, irrespective of the amount, are subject to the prior approval of the Board of Directors with the approval of the supervisory
body, in terms of Article 397 of the CCC.
90. Details of transactions that were subject to control in the referred year
During the second-half of 2013, the following deals or transactions of economic significance took place between the Company and
members of its management and supervisory bodies:
− The affiliate Martifer Solar, S.A., through the affiliate Martifer Solar Investment B.V., disposed of the shareholding (representing
100% of the share capital) and supplementary capital it held in the company LRCC LA RAD Campo Chaparro, S.A. to the
company SHININGASSET SGPS, S.A..
The company “LRCC LA RAD Campo Chaparro, S.A.” promotes the photovoltaic projects “INOV LX 2MW” and “INOV OP
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 233
2MW”, with a 2MV / capacity, each.
This shareholding disposal transaction also included the disposal of a capital gain as well as of supplementary capital loaned to
LRCC LA RAD Campo Chaparro, S.A., and its total value amounted to EUR 2,336,520.00. As regards the development of the
photovoltaic projects, the acquiring company intends to adjudicate the rendering of EPC services to Martifer Solar, S.A. The
acquirer of that shareholding is held, directly or indirectly, by the directors of the company Martifer Solar, S.A.. Consequently,
the shareholding disposal transaction was duly subjected to the assessment and approval of the Company’s Supervisory Board.
− Martifer Global – SGPS, S.A., subsidiary of Martifer SGPS, S.A., incorporated a commercial company in association with the
companies I’M - SGPS, S.A. and AMAL – SGPS, S.A., in which it has a 30% shareholding. This new company will foster its
activity in the Latin America markets, namely Venezuela, Peru, Columbia and Ecuador, within the sphere of the metallic
construction, oil and gas, construction and shipbuilding areas. The strategic reasoning behind this new joint-venture is related to
the splitting of risk, that of investment risk as well as that related with the creation and exploitation of synergies. Since I’M
SGPS, S.A. is held by directors of Martifer SGPS, S.A., the incorporation of the company was also the object of assessment and
approval by the Supervisory Board.
91. A description of the procedures and criteria applicable to the Supervisory Body when
same provides preliminary assessment of the business deals to be carried out between the
company and the holders of qualifying holdings or entity relationships with the former, as
envisaged in Article 20 of the Securities Code
The Supervisory Board established the procedures and criteria necessary to define the relevant ‘level of significance’, of business
between the company and the holders of qualifying holdings or entities with which the former are linked in any relationship of
dominium or group, in excess of which amount the intervention of the supervisory body is required.
Hence, without prejudice to the provisions foreseen in Article 397 of the CCC, deals between, on the one hand, the Company or
Group companies and, on the other hand, holders of qualifying holdings or entities with which the former are linked in any
relationship, shall be subject to assessment and prior approval of the Supervisory Board if they meet any one of the following
criteria:
a) Are for an amount equal to or in excess of half-a-million Euros, or, when lower, when aggregated with other transactions
carried out with the same Shareholder holder of qualifying holdings, during the same financial period, result in an amount
equal to or in excess of one million Euros, except those relating to normal Company business;
b) Regardless of the amount, when they may cause a material impact on the Company’s reputation, in matters concerning the
independence in its relations with holders of qualifying holdings.
II. Data on business deals
92. Details of the place where the financial statements including information on business
dealings with related parties are available, in accordance with IAS 24, or alternatively a

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 241
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;
− The creation of an electronic mail exclusively dedicated to the General Meeting, and disclosed in the convening notice, to
facilitate the clarification of doubts;
− Statutory provision that each share is entitled to one vote.
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.
PAGE 242 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
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
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 - Ms 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.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 243
The Statement on remuneration policy containing all the information required under Article 2 of Law no. 28/2009, of 19 June, as
well as part of that required by Recommendation II.1.5.2 of the 2010 Corporate Governance Code, that is, that it be structured in
accordance with the legal dispositions and the CMVM recommendations that were in effect at the date of the General Meeting of
the Company, was proposed and approved at the Company’s General Meeting of 10 April 2013.
In so far as paragraph b) of recommendation II.3.3. is concerned, and considering that CMVM Regulation 4/2013 and the 2013
Corporate Governance Code were published and came into effect at a moment subsequent to the preparation, by the
Remuneration Setting Committee, of the Statement on the Remuneration Policy for 2013, the Company has not yet had the
opportunity to approve at a General Meeting, subsequent to that date, a Statement on the Remuneration Policy adapted to the
new requirements foreseen in Recommendation II.3.3. of CMVM’s 2013 Corporate Governance Code.
Nevertheless, the Statement on the remuneration policy to be presented at the Company’s General Meeting to occur in 2014 will
already contemplate all the dispositions foreseen in Recommendation II.3.3. of CMVM’s 2013 Corporate Governance Code and,
consequently, will result in the full adoption of said recommendation.
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.
PAGE 244 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013
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.
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 OF THE GENERAL MEETING ON 10 APRIL 2013]
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 on 11th April 2012, to exercise its duties for the three year period years 2012-2014 and currently
is formed by:
António Manuel Queirós Vasconcelos da Mota (Chairman)
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
Martifer SGPS, S.A. of 10 April 2013 its 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 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 Corporate
Governance Code of CMVM.
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.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 257
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
risks-taking. 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) Duties Performed
In the decision of the remuneration of each member of the Board of Directors, shall be taken into account, for each single
member, 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 broader 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:
1st Remuneration of Executive members of the Board of Directors, shall be made up of a fixed and a variable part, and,
according to the law and article 20.3 of the Articles of Association, the variable part may not exceed 5% of the annual net
profit,.
2nd 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.
3rd The fixed part of the remuneration of the Executive members of the Board of Directors, as well the non-Executive Members
non independent (when applicable), shall consist in a monthly amount payable fourteen times per annum.
4th A fixed remuneration, for each participation in the meetings of the Board of Directors, shall be set for the non-Executive
and independent Board members.
5th Fixed remuneration of members of the Supervisory Board shall be set in a monthly value payable twelve times per annum.
6th 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.
7th Fixed remuneration of the members of the Board of the General Meeting will be a predetermined value for each meeting.
8th 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:
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.
9th The Company’s Board of Directors submitted a proposal of Stock Options Remuneration Plan (PROA) for appreciation to
its Shareholders in the General Meeting of 28 March 2008.
The objectives of the PROA are, among others, the retention of key employees of the various companies in the Group; as
well as the members of the Board, the stimulation of the creativity and productivity of employees, thereby promoting the
results of the Company; the creation favorable conditions to attract and recruit of managers and other key employees; the
alignment of interests of the employees and members of the Board with the interests of Martifer’s shareholders and other
stakeholders, rewarding their performance through the value creation for shareholders, reflected in the evolution of the
share price of the Company on the Stock Market.
The PROA works by attributing as part of the variable remuneration (RV) of the beneficiary options to buy or subscribe to
shares of Martifer. Thus, the PROA will depend on the performance evaluation system in force in the Group. The number
of options each beneficiary receives in a given year will depend on the value of his/hers RV, which depends on his/hers
performance evaluation, hierarchical position and the value of the options. The value of the options will be calculated by
independent entities (Investment Banks).
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT 2013 PAGE 259
Each option will give the beneficiary the right to acquire or subscribe one Martifer share at a future date at the exercise
price. The options may be exercised in 4 different moments, once annually. The shares to be delivered to the beneficiaries
at the moment the option is exercised will result from a capital increase. The number of shares resulting from options
attributed and not exercised, at any given time, may not exceed 2% of Martifer’s share capital. The Beneficiary may lose the
right to non exercised options in the event of leaving the Group, unless there is a mutual agreement.
10th Notwithstanding the policies above mentioned of protection of the shareholders and Company’s interests on the long
term, the Committee, in search of the best practices of Corporate Governance regarding remuneration policies of the
Corporate Bodies, is presently: (i) promoting a study and comparative analysis of remuneration policies and practices of
other groups of companies in the same sector with respect to the fixing of remuneration for future implementation and
adoption in Martifer, as well as (ii) studying the possibility of adoption of politics that, shown to be feasible and balanced to
all actors, foresee the possibility of the variable remuneration to be payable, in part or totally, only after clearance of the
fiscal accounts of all the mandate and, on the other hand, that allows a limitation to the variable remuneration in case the
results show a relevant deterioration of the company’s Performance in the last cleared fiscal year or when it is expected in
the designated year.
