The third quarter of 2014 was characterizedboth by an increase in production and sales of pulp, and by the beginning of a recovery in sales price in euros, motivated by an appreciation of the US Dollar against the Euro, seen mainly from September 2014.

Thus, the production and sales of pulp of the third quarter increased about 3% and 5.4% respectively, comparing to the second quarter of the year, recording, again, a quarter high.

Production and sales systematically in quarterly high

After the three industrial units of Altri have beaten the production record in the second quarter of 2014, in the third quarter, the production reached about 263.3 thousand tons of pulp, which represents a growth of about 8.5% and 3% comparing to the same period of 2013 and to the second quarter of 2014 respectively.

In detail, during the third quarter, the main Altri industrial unit, Celbi, produced around 185.4 thousand tons of pulp (+11%, comparing to the same period of 2013); Celtejo produced around 56.4 thousand tons (+6%) and Caima produced around 21.6 thousand tons (-4%) – it is important to mention that Caima is going through an investment project that aims the production of specialties, which is predicted to end in the second quarter of 2015.

Evolution of pulp production between 3rdQ 2013 and 3rdQ 2014 by mill (thousand tons)

Evolution of pulp sales between 3rdQ 2013 and 3rdQ 2014 by mill (thousand tons)

In terms of sales, during the third quarter, the Group sold about 263.7 thousand tons, which represents an increase of about 8% compared to 245.0 thousand tons of pulp sold during the third quarter of 2013 and an increase of about 5.4% compared to the 250.2 thousand tons sold during the second quarter of 2014.

The pulp sales amounted to 114.5 million Euro, representing around 80% of Altri's total revenue, recording a decrease of about 4.8% compared to the pulp sales of the same period of 2013 and an increase of about 4.7% compared to the second quarter of 2014.

During the third quarter of 2014, Altri exported about 244 thousand tons of pulp, which represents 93% of Altri's pulp sales. The amount of these exports reached 106.6 million Euro.

The average sale price of pulp per ton during the third quarter of 2014, recorded a decrease of more than 10% compared to the same period of 2013, and a decrease of about 1% compared to the second quarter of 2014. However, it's important to mention that from September onwards it has been recorded a reversal of this trend.

The total revenue recorded in third quarter of 2014, was around 143 million Euro, which corresponds to a decrease of about 1% over the same period of 2013 and an increase of about 6% compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Total costs, excluding depreciation, interest and taxes amounted to approximately 112.9 million Euro.

It should be remarked that the evolution of the caption "Cost of sales" reflects the increase of pulp sales and the oscillations recorded in the wood price. The increase recorded in the caption "External supplies and services" was due to the increase in some costs, namely electricity.

Third quarter profit doubled from the previous quarter, to 10 million Euro

EBITDA of the third quarter of 2014 reached about 30.1 million Euro, a decrease of around 17% compared to third quarter of 2013 and an increase of around 15% compared to the second quarter of 2014. EBITDA margin recorded the quarter year high, reaching 21%.

The operating income (EBIT) was about 17.5 million Euro, which corresponds to a decrease of around 27% compared to EBIT of third quarter of 2013 and an increase around 29% compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Altri's net profit reached around 10.2 million Euro, which corresponds to a decrease of around 21% compared to the same period of 2013, and an increase higher than 100% compared to the second quarter of 2014.

9 months period of 2014

Total revenue recorded during the first nine months of 2014 reached around 406.7 million Euro (-8%), EBITDA was around 82.3 million Euro (-26%) and net profit was around 22.9 million Euro (-47%).

30 September of 2014: remunerated net debt of 532 million Euro

The net investment made by Altri's industrial units during the third quarter of 2014 reached 10.1 million Euro, which amounts to a total investment of 28.6 million Euro during the first nine months period of 2014.

Altri's nominal remunerated debt net of cash and cash equivalents and investments available for sale on September 30, 2014 amounted to 531.7 million Euro, decreasing around 18.3 million Euro comparing to 550.0 million Euro of net debt recorded in the end of June 2014.

During the first nine months of 2014, Altri reduced its remunerated net debt from 563.2 million Euro to 531.7 million Euro. Considering that during the second quarter of 2014, the Company paid dividends of 8.6 million Euro the cash-flow generated to the shareholders from January to September 2014 amounted 40.1 million Euro.

In the first semester of 2014, the Group issued three bond loans in a total amount of 200 million Euro: one of 70 million Euro, with maturity in 2018, other of 80 million Euro, with maturity in 2019 and another of 50 million Euro, with maturity in 2020. All bond loans bear interest at variable rate, based on 6-month Euribor, with an average spread lower than 4%. The schedule maturities of Altri bond issues are as follows:

Bonds 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
CELBI Float 02/2015 Euribor+0,875% 300,0

During the third quarter of 2014, Altri conducted a set of treasury operations that aimed to reduce the gross debt, with a special focus on short-term debt. The gross remunerated debt was reduced by 107.4 million Euros, which explains the quarterly reduction of around 88 million Euro in the caption "Cash and cash equivalents". In the end of September, Altri had around 228 million Euro of available medium-term funding lines unused.

Pulp Market

According to data from Pulp and Paper Products Council (PPPC) from August 2014, the total demand for bleached pulp increased 0.9% compared to the same period of 2013, reaching 36.3 million tons.

The demand for hardwood pulp recorded an increase of 2.2%, highlighting the increase in the demand for eucalyptus pulp that, until August, recorded an increase of 7.6% - observing only August (compared to August 2013) the increase in the demand for hardwood eucalyptus pulp was 14.3%

Geographically, during the first eight months of 2014, the PPPC data observed that the consumption of hardwood pulp in Western Europe recorded a negative evolution of about 1.5%, whilst China recorded a growth of 6.4%.

Between January and August 2014, the total consumption of hardwood pulp reached about 19.1 million tons, an increase of 405 thousand tons compared to the same period of 2013. The market share of Western Europe is 30.3%, whilst China has a market share of 28.7%.

In terms of supply, during the first quarter of 2014, it has started operating a new industrial unit for production of eucalyptus pulp in Brazil, with projected annual production capacity of 1.5 million tons, for which it is estimated that 1 million tons will be produced this year. Additionally, a new unit was inaugurated in Uruguay, with an estimated production of pulp, for 2015, of about 500 thousand tons.

It should be also marked some announcements of closures of existing capacity in Europe and Canada.

In terms of evolution of the BEKP pulp price, according to the PIX, the third quarter of 2014 was characterized by a slight increase of 0.3% of the price in EUR comparing to the previous quarter. The average price of the first nine months of 2014 was 553 Euro (748 USD).

Evolution of BEKP pulp price in Europe since 2003 until September 2014 Source: Hawkins Wright

Outlook

It is expected a rise in the pulp price, driven by the announcement of price increases for October, which place the price at about 750 USD from November on.

The level of Altri pulp sales, for the fourth quarter of 2014, will be lower than in previous quarters due to the scheduled stoppage of Caima and Celtejo, which took place in the fourth quarter, and the need for restocking that ensure the normal supply to customers considering the stoppage for maintenance of Celbi, scheduled for April 2015.

Altri – business profile

Altri is a reference in European eucalyptus pulp producers. In addition to pulp production, the Company is also present in the renewable power production business from forest base sources namely industrial cogeneration through black liquor and biomass. The forestry strategy is based on the full use of all the components provided by the forest: pulp, black liquor and forest wastes.

Currently, Altri manages over 84 thousand hectares of forest in Portugal entirely certified by Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®)1 and by the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most worldwide acknowledged certification entities.

Currently, Altri has three pulp mills in Portugal with an installed capacity in 2013 that reached about 973 thousand tons/year of eucalyptus pulp bleached. The company has some ongoing small projects for optimizing operating efficiency which will allow, in the medium term, to increase the production capacity.

7. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES

In accordance with current legislation, tax returns are subject to review and correction by the tax authorities during a four-year period (five years for Social Security), with the exception when there have been tax losses, cases with there have been granted tax benefits, or tax inspections or claims are in progress, in which cases the periods may be extended or suspended.
