To the Shareholders

Pursuant to the legal requirements, the Board of Directors of Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A. ('Altri') hereby presents its Directors' Report for the first semester of 2014.

INTRODUCTION

Altri was incorporated as of March 2005, as a result of Cofina's demerger. Altri is a reference European producer of bleached eucalyptus pulp and is a listed company included in NYSE Euronext Lisbon, integrating the PSI 20 (Portuguese Stock Index), the benchmark stock market index. In addition to pulp production, the company is also present in electric energy from forest renewable sources, namely industrial cogeneration, black liquor and biomass. The forestry strategy is based on full use of all the components provided by the forest: pulp, black liquor and forest wastes.

Over the past years, Altri invested in Portugal about 470 million Euro, mainly on Celbi and Celtejo unities. Currently, Altri owns three pulp mills in Portugal with a total capacity of 970,000 tons/year of bleached eucalyptus pulp in 2013. The company has an ongoing series of small projects to increase production capacity of Celbi and Caima, which is expected to be concluded between the end of this year and the beginning of the next. Thus, Caima, at the end of the project of conversion to pulp specialties sector, will produce around 105,000 tons/year. On the other hand, Celbi will hold an installed capacity exceeding 700,000 tons/year of bleached pulp type BEKP.

Currently, Altri manages over 84,000 hectares of forest in Portugal. The company obtained certification from the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) 1 and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC two of the most worldwide acknowledged certification entities.

Altri's industrial strategy implementation is based on integrated forest management in Portugal. This model is based on forest optimization, ensuring a full recovery of all its components. Thus, the eucalyptus is processed in Altri mills, producing pulp and power (cogeneration). The bark, the branches and forest waste are used to produce electric energy from biomass.

Until June 2008, Altri had another industrial activity through the F. Ramada, which was devoted to retail steel and development of industrial solutions for storage systems. In June 2008 took place the split of the F. Ramada. The strategic rationale of this operation lies in focusing exclusively Altri on their core business, forest management and production of pulp.

Since the beginning of its activity Altri carried out various acquisitions (Celtejo in 2005 and in 2006 Celbi) that allowed Altri to reinforce its position in its operating markets and by the development of a set of expansion activity projects.

For a better valuation of forest resources, Altri acquired in 2005, 50% of EDP Produção - Bioeléctrica, S.A., for, in partnership with EDP, producing electricity from forest biomass. This company is leader in its market segment with a share licenses to the production of electricity by forest biomass of 50%.

Sales and production showed different behavior in the first 2 quarters of 2014.The first quarter was characterized, by an adverse environment in terms of price, which was exacerbated by the appreciation of the Euro against the dollar and, on the other hand, by the maintenance stoppage of Celbi that was not performed in 2013.

Thus, although the production and sales recorded an increase of 17% and 7% respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2014, the sales price of pulp, in Euro, recorded a decrease of 4.7%.

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.
