During the third quarter of 2007 the pulp international market performance was mainly affected by two trends: (1) global increase in pulp demand, which price is referenced in US\$; (2) prices increase motivated either by demand dynamics or by the intent to nullify depreciation of US\$ against the euro.

The pulp market performance followed the same trend as of 1H07, becoming gradually more sustained. This was mainly due to an increase in global demand and a limited supply, especially in the Nordic Countries, despite capacity increases in other region. Worldwide the global pulp inventories are at exceptionally low levels.

The BEKP average price of the nine months period ended September, 2007 reached 511€/tone (687 US\$/tone). Splitting by quarter, the average price in 1Q07 and 2Q07 reached 512€/tone (671 US\$/tone) and 504€/tone (679 US\$/tone), respectively, while the average price in 3Q07 reaching 517€/tone (710 US\$/tone).

During the nine months period ended September 30, 2007 the total production of Celbi/Caima/Celtejo Group´s reached 473 thousand tones, a 2% growth compared with the homologous period of 2006.

In the 3rd quarter of 2007 operating income exceeded 78 million euro, a slightly higher value in comparison with the last quarter of 2006. EBITDA overcame 24 million euro in the 3rd quarter of 2007, which represents a 24% growth compared with the last quarter of 2006. Operating income (EBIT) of the 3rd quarter of 2007 reached 18 million euro, representing a 29% growth compared with the last quarter of 2006.

The net profit in the 3rd quarter of 2007 amounted to 10.5 million euro, 15% above the last quarter of 2006.
