The first quarter of 2017 was marked by three facts:
(I) The beginning of a rise trend in the price of pulp, which amounted to 640.5 Euro/ton, which corresponds to an appreciation of around 6% (Euro) compared to the last quarter of the previous year. However, the average price recorded in the first quarter of 2016 was 693.1 Euro/ton, which means that the market price in the quarter under review was 7.6% lower than the price registered in the same period of 2016;
- (II) The continuation of the investment project in the Celtejo industrial unit, with interventions in the recovery boiler, steam reduction and industrial waste water treatment installation, implying a limitation of the factory's operational potential, in terms of production capacity and efficiency of production costs. This investment is expected to be completed by the end of the first half of 2018;
- (III)The suggested adjustment of Legal Regime of Afforestation and Reforestation (RJAR – Regime Jurídico de Arborizações e Rearborizações), which limits the planting of eucalyptus trees, is harmful for 400 thousand forestry producers and could damage competitiveness of the Pulp and Paper Industry, which, nowadays, makes annual wood imports of about 200 million Euro.
Cumulative total production of about 541 thousand tons in the last 2 quarters
Total revenues in the first quarter of 2017 amounted to 159.8 million Euro, a decline of around 1% over the same period of last year and a growth of about 0.5% over the fourth quarter of 2016.
During the period under analysis, approximately 264.4 thousand tons of pulp were produced (+ 5.4% in relation to the first quarter of 2016), of which approximately 26.6 thousand tons of dissolving pulp (+ 15% compared to the same quarter of 2016).
In terms of sales, around 274.3 thousand tons of pulp were sold in the first three months of 2017 (+ 8.2% over the same quarter of 2016), of which approximately 26.6 thousand tons of dissolving pulp (+ 3% compared to the same quarter of the previous year).
It should be noted that cumulatively in the fourth quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017, approximately 540.7 thousand tons of eucalyptus pulp were produced.
In terms of exports, during the first three months of 2017, Altri exported around 250.5 thousand tons of pulp, corresponding to a growth of around 8% over the same period of the previous year.
Total pulp sales amounted to 134.9 million Euro, which corresponds to a decrease of around 3% over the same period of the previous year and a growth of around 1.2% over the fourth quarter of 2016.
Quarterly EBITDA reaches 40 million Euro
Operating costs increased by 9.2% year-on-year, slightly above the 8.2% increase in pulp sales (+ 8.2%), mainly due to the investments in progress in Celtejo that limit the mill's potential in terms of production and operational efficiency. Thus, total costs, excluding depreciation, financial costs and taxes, in the first quarter of 2017 amounted to approximately 119.7 million Euro, which corresponds to a 0.5% reduction compared to the fourth quarter of 2016.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2017 was approximately 40.1 million Euro, a decrease of about 23% compared to the EBITDA recorded in the same period of 2016. In relation to the fourth quarter of 2016, EBITDA increased by 3.4%.
The financial result was a net expense of 4.1 million Euro, which corresponds to a decrease of about 14% compared to the net financial expense incurred in the fourth quarter of 2016. The average cost of total financial debt is less than 3%.
Altri's consolidated net profit reached approximately 17 million Euro.
Net debt of 432 million Euro
Altri´s nominal debt net of cash and cash equivalents as of 31 March 2017 amounted to 432.2 million Euro, representing a decrease of approximately 6.4 million Euro compared to net debt of 438.6 million Euro recorded in the end of 2016.
The total net investment (CAPEX) made in the 1st quarter of 2017 by the industrial units of the Group amounted to 24.4 million Euro.
The scheduling of Altri's remunerated gross debt maturity is as follows:

It should be noted that, at the end of the first quarter of 2017, Altri's cash and equivalents amounted to approximately 206.6 million Euro.
With regard to risk management, Altri uses exchange rate derivatives to hedge future cash flows. Accordingly, Altri has contracted European-style call and put options (exchange rate collars) on USD 10 million per month, covering the period from April 2017 to December 2018.

16. SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
On 16 April 2008, was signed the Altri SGPS, S.A. spin-off public deed. Under the terms of that project, the planned reorganization implies the split of Altri's two business units that manage equity holdings 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. This allows for the Altri Group to focus its activity on its core business, production and commercialization of bleached pulp from eucalyptus, so the Board of Directors believes that there is only one business segment and the management information is reported and analysed on this basis.
17. RELATED PARTIES
The subsidiary companies of the Group have between each other transactions that classify as transactions with related parties and which are made at market prices.
In the consolidation procedures the transactions between the companies included in consolidation by the full consolidation method are eliminated, once the consolidated financial statements present the owner and its subsidiaries information as one single company, therefore they are not disclosed in this note.
During the three months periods ended at 31 March 2017 and 2016, there were no transactions or loans granted to the members of the Board of Directors.
