The third quarter of 2015 was Altri's best quarter ever, both in operational terms and in financial terms. Thus, total revenues amounted to 181.5 million Euro, which led to an EBITDA of 63.1 million Euro and an EBITDA margin of 34.8%. The net profit was 34.4 million Euro.

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). Both values - tons produced and sold - correspond to an absolute record.

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

Regarding to the type of pulp produced, during the third quarter of 2015, it was produced 246.3 thousand tons of BEKP pulp and 26.7 tons of VSF dissolving pulp.

In terms of exports, during the third quarter of 2015, Altri exported 252.3 thousand tons of pulp (+3%), corresponding to an amount of 146.4 million Euro (+37%).

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.

Total costs, excluding depreciation, interest and taxes, on the third quarter of 2015, amounted to approximately 118.4 million Euro, which represents an increase of 4.8% compared to the same period of 2014 and about 12.5% compared to the second quarter of 2015. The evolution of costs is closely related to the production evolution, since (as referred) the production increased 4% over the same quarter of 2014 and 21% over the 2nd quarter of 2015.

It should be remarked that the third quarter records a seasonal effect which results in a lower cost of wood, motivated by the reduction of imports from South America and by the lower specific consumption of wood in the production of one ton of pulp, due to the lower humidity level.

The operational income (EBIT) of the third quarter of 2015 reached 50.0 million Euro, an increase of 186% comparing to the EBIT recorded in the same period of 2014 and an increase of 24% compared to the previous quarter.

Due to this 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 analyzed 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.

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.
