In detail, as referred, the total revenue of the third quarter of 2015 amounted 181.5 million Euro, an increase of 14% compared to the amount recorded in the previous quarter and an increase of 27% comparing to the third quarter of 2014.
The revenues from sales of pulp amounted to 156.1 million Euro, corresponding to an increase of 36% comparing to the 114.5 million Euro of pulp sales in the third quarter of 2014.
During the third quarter, the three industrial units of Altri produced around 273.0 thousand tons of pulp (+4% comparing to the same period of 2014 and +21.4% comparing to the production of the second quarter of 2015), and were sold 270.4 thousand tons of pulp (+3% comparing to the third quarter of 2014 and +13% comparing to the second quarter of 2015).

Evolution of pulp production between 3Q 2015 and 3Q 2014 by industrial unit (tons)
Evolution of pulp sales between 3Q 2015 and 3Q 2014 by industrial unit (tons)

Quarterly EBITDA reaches record: 63.1 million Euro. 34.8% margin.
The evolution of production level and sales prices complemented with a reduction of production unit costs led to an EBTIDA in the quarter of 63.1 million Euro, corresponding to a growth of 110% over EBITDA of the same period of the previous year and to an increase of 18% over the second quarter of 2015. EBITDA margin reached 34.8% which corresponds to a 1.1 pp increase compared to the EBITDA margin recorded in the previous quarter.

Future events – dividend of 0.25€ per share

16. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
On 16 April 2008, the Board of Administration of Altri, S.G.P.S., S.A. approved a simple demerger project of the company, which implied the split of Altri's two business units that operates in the pulp and paper sector and in the steel and storage systems sector. 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 allowed Altri Group to focus its activity on its core business, production and commercialization of bleached paper pulp form eucalyptus, so the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment and the management information is reported and analyzed on this basis.
