The results in the first quarter of 2013 reflect a record turnover that reached 145 million euro, motivated by a sales volume that reached 246 thousand tons, that is to say, a growth of 8% compared to the first quarter of 2012. The first quarter of 2013 was also marked by occasional difficulties in wood supply, due to an unusually rainy winter, hardening the access to the forest. For this reason it was necessary to use wood from outside the Iberian Peninsula.
During the first quarter of 2013, total revenues reached 145.2 million euro, representing an increase of 18% compared with the same period of the previous year. Comparing with the fourth quarter of 2012 (total revenues of 140.3 million euro), total revenues increased about 4%.
On the first quarter of 2013, Altri produced 240.8 thousand tons of pulp, which corresponds to an increase of 5% compared to the 230.4 thousand tons of pulp produced in the first quarter of 2012.
In terms of sales, during the first quarter of 2013, approximately 245.9 thousand tons of pulp were sold, plus 8% compared to the pulp sales made in the first quarter of 2012.

Pulp sales reached approximately 120.7 million euro, representing 83% of Altri's total revenues.
On the first three months of 2013, Altri exported 232 thousand tons of pulp, which represented 95% of Altri's total sales. The amount of these exports reached 114 million euro.
Net revenues of energy associated with cogeneration and other forest components amounted to 8.8 million euro, which represents an increase of 25% compared with the net revenue registered in the first quarter of 2012 (7.1 million euro).
Total costs, excluding depreciation, financial costs and tax, amounted to 108.9 million euro, a 16% increase compared with the same period of the previous year and a 5% increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2012. However, it is important to notice that the sales increase reached 17% compared with the first quarter of 2012.
Payroll expenses recorded a decrease of 3% when compared with the same period of 2012. On the end of the first quarter of 2013, Altri had 643 employees.

Operating profit (EBIT) was 23.9 million euro, which corresponds to an increase of 48% compared to the EBIT of the first quarter of 2012.
Net income reached 14.2 million euro, an increase of 13.5% compared to the income recorded on the fourth quarter of 2012 and an increase of 123% compared with the same period of the previous year.

Pulp market
The first quarter of 2013 was characterized by a slight decrease of about 0.3% of total demand of hardwood pulp that amounted to 6.9 million of tons. In more detail, the Chinese demand decreased about 3.1%, while in Western Europe and in the United States of America (USA) there were increases of 1.7% and 7.6%, respectively.
However, it is important to notice that in March, total demand of this kind of pulp recorded an increase of 1.8% compared with the same month of 2012, with Chinese and USA consumption recording increases of 7.1% and 7.7%, respectively.
In this quarter, the level of deliveries against the installed capacity (shipment-to-capacity ratio) of hardwood pulp of eucalyptus reached 92%. Considering only March this ratio amounted to 99%.
During the December 2012, the producers announced an increase of 20 USD/ton on the price, to be implemented from January 2013 onwards, fixing pulp price sale (BEKP) on 800 USD/ton. During February 2013, a new increase (+20 USD/ton) was announced to be implemented from March onwards, fixing the price market in 820 USD/ton. On average, during the first quarter of 2013, market price of pulp (BEKP) reached 788 USD/ton, corresponding to approximately 596 EUR/ton (average exchange rate for the period of 1.32).
It is also important to refer that, according to Hawkins Wright, during 2013 it is expected that producers with capacity for more than 2.2 million tons of tissue will start operating, being more than 60% of this capacity located in China.

1. INTRODUCTORY NOTE
Altri, SGPS, S.A. ("Altri" or "Company") was incorporated as of 1 March 2005, has its head-office located at Rua General Norton de Matos, 68, r/c – Porto, Portugal and its shares are listed in the NYSE Euronext Lisbon Stock Exchange. Its main activity is the management of investments.
Altri was incorporated as a result of the reorganization process of Cofina, SGPS, S.A. through the demerger of the investment previously held by this group in Celulose do Caima, SGPS, S.A. (representing 97.23% of this company's share capital), under a simple demerger operation foreseen in item 1.a), article 118 of the Commercial Companies Code ("Código das Sociedades Comerciais").
Altri is the parent company of a group of companies listed in Note 4 known as Altri Group. The current activity of Altri Group focuses on the production of bleached paper pulp of eucalyptus through three production units (Celbi in Figueira da Foz, Caima in Constância do Ribatejo and Celtejo in Vila Velha de Ródão).
Due to this new reality of Altri Group, the Board of Directors believe that there is only one business segment (production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp from eucalyptus) and the management information is also analysed on this basis, for which the segmental information mentioned in Note 16 is limited by this.
The consolidated financial statements of Altri Group are presented in Euro rounded off to the unit, which is the currency used by the Group in its operations and considered as the functional currency.

This reorganization aimed a bigger focus and transparency on ALTRI's business, and giving each of the areas an opportunity to be better seen and better evaluated by the market, and allows Altri Group to focus its activity on its core business, production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp form eucalyptus, so the Board of Directors believe that there is only one business segment and the management information is reported and analyzed on this basis.
