The third quarter of 2012 was characterized by a sharp increase in Altri's operating efficiency, where the EBITDA reached 40 million euro. EBITDA margin for the period was 29.4%. This operating performance led to a free cash flow generation of 18 million euro for this quarter.

1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Altri was incorporated as a result of the reorganization process of Cofina, SGPS, S.A. occurred in 2005, through the demerger of the investment previously held by this group in Celulose do Caima, SGPS, S.A.
