3Q 2009 Financial Information

3Q 2009 Financial Information

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 based sources namely industrial cogeneration and biomass. The forest strategy is based on the full use of all the components provided by the forest: pulp, black liquor and forest wastes.

Altri obtained certification from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and from the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), two of the most worldwide acknowledged forest certification entities, for the whole 82,000 ha of forest under their management in Portugal.

Nowadays, Altri major assets are three pulp mills, with a total capacity above 500,000 tonnes/year of bleached eucalyptus pulp. The Company has investment projects on an advanced ramp up phase that will increase its nominal production capacity to more than 900 thousand tonnes/year in 2010.

Altri's organic structure as of 30 September 2009 is as follows:

Main events in 3Q 2009:

  • New pulp production line on Celbi: the Celbi's project of doubling its pulp production capacity was under conclusion during the 3Q 2009. The full completion of the project is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2010 with the installation of the new cogeneration turbine. Nowadays, the mill is in a ramp up stage, and the evolution of production and cash costs per tonne of pulp are going according to the initial plan;
  • New Celtejo's bleaching line project: During the 3Q 2009, Celtejo concluded the BEKP production learning curve of the new bleached eucalypt pulp production line. Is noted that Celtejo's 3Q 2009 production (42.7 thousand tonnes) was 83% higher than the 1Q 2009 production (23.3 thousand tonnes);
  • Annual maintenance stoppage on Caima: there was a 10 day annual maintenance stop in September 2009 on Caima, which run as planned. The stop has a direct impact on the period's fixed costs and production;
  • New PEFC certification for the whole forest area managed by Altri: by the end of 3Q 2009, Altri had 82.3 thousand ha of forest under management in Portugal which were already fully certificated by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and is now also certificated by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These are the two most important international certifications of sustainable forestry management;
  • EDP Bioeléctrica electric energy production from biomass: Constância power plant (a part of Caima industrial unit) entered into operation during August 2009, with 13 MWh of capacity. In June 2009, Figueira da Foz power plant (a part of Celbi industrial unit) had entered into operation, with 30 MWh of capacity. Currently, EDP Bioeléctrica (50% held by Altri) holds a total capacity of, approximately, 65 MWh of electric power produced from forest biomass, which is translated to a net supplied power of about 57 MWh.

Pulp production

During 3Q 2009, the three Altri mills produced more than 180 thousand tonnes of bleached eucalyptus pulp, the highest amount of the year.

Quarterly evolution of pulp production per mill

On the other hand, the net revenues from electric power of cogeneration and sales of other forestry derivatives (liquor and bark) amounted to, approximately, 3 million Euro on 3Q 2009. On an annual basis, these revenues reached about 8.6 million Euro in the first 9 months of 2009.

3Q2009 financial information: Altri returns to profit

The financial information of the Group was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Relating Standards (IFRS).

Altri defined forest management and pulp production as its core business. However, in the 3rd quarter of 2008 Altri developed its activity also in paper business (CPK), a unit that was permanently closed in December 2008. Therefore, CPK activity during 3Q 2008 is recorded under the caption "Profit for the period from discontinued operations".

On the 3Q 2009, Altri achieved a consolidated net profit of 52 thousand Euro (27 thousand Euro obtained from continuing operations), while on both 1Q and 2Q Altri recorded losses.

Total income, excluding the financial income, reached, approximately, 80.8 million Euro on 3Q 2009, which represents an increase of 3% when compared to the 2Q 2009 and of 8.4% when compared to 3Q 2008.

Total expenses excluding amortization, financial expenses and taxes, reached 69.3 million Euro on the 3Q 2009, which is a decrease of 7% when comparing to the 2Q 2009 and an increase of 21% comparing to 3Q2008. The expenses evolution, compared to the previous quarter, reflects the optimization that is being implemented on the plants, as well as the reduction of fixed and variable costs, mainly on Celbi and Celtejo. Comparing to the equivalent period in 2008, the evolution of expenses is the result of the production capacity increase.

3Q 2009 Financial Information

Therefore, the 3rd quarter of 2009 EBITDA was about 11.5 million Euro, corresponding to a 174% increase comparing to the 2nd quarter of 2009. When comparing with the 3rd quarter of 2008, there has been a decrease of 34%. Note that the 3rd quarter of 2009 was the best quarter of the year.

EBITDA margin reached 14.2% on this period. Although the cost reduction of the production of pulp ton, the decrease of 31% on the BEKP eucalypt pulp sale price between the 3Q08 and the 3Q09 pulled the margin down and made it inferior to the margin on the equivalent period of 2008.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to, approximately, 5.3 million Euro. Depreciation and amortizations totalize 6.2 million Euro on this 3rd quarter.

Profit after tax from continuing operations, after minority interests, amounted to about 27 thousand Euro.

CAPEX and Net Debt

Total investment (CAPEX) reached 21.3 million Euro during the 3rd quarter of 2009. The main responsible for the investment made was Celbi with, approximately, 19.1 million Euro. During the first 9 months of 2009, accumulated CAPEX reached 81 million Euro.

Altri's nominal net debt as of September 30, 2009 was 808.6 million Euro. It is worth noticing that the nominal net debt amounted to 814.9 million Euro by the end of the first half of 2009.

It should be highlighted that all the financing needs are totally assured and as of September 30, 2009 Altri has 88.8 million Euro in cash and equivalents and, approximately, 82.6 million Euro of financing plafond not in use.

3Q 2009 Financial Information

Pulp market

The eucalypt pulp market noted a recovery during the 3rd quarter of 2009, when the market price reached 385 EUR/ton, which represents a growth of 7% comparing to the 2nd quarter of 2009 (360 EUR/ton). However, considering the 3rd quarter of 2008 (554 EUR/ton), the price has dropped about 31%.

Over 2009, there have been three factors to stress related to the pulp market: (1) on one hand, the demand is rising again and (2), on the other hand, the international pulp market price hit its lowest point on April 2009, date since which it has been constantly increasing, and (3) there has been a general decrease on general supply, due to layouts and plants shut-downs.

These facts have contributed to a pulp disposable stock reduction on European ports that has reached its historical minimum point on October 2009, with approximately 746 thousand tonnes. Starting on May 2009, there were announced 6 consecutive price increases that made the BEKP pulp market price rise from 480 USD/ton on April 2009 to 700 USD/ton on November 2009, which represents a growth of 46%. The depreciation of the USD, however, switches this growth to 34% when converted to Euro.

On the other hand, many international projects of capacity expansion and new units that were in pipeline were cancelled or postponed.

The current market environment, according to the available indicators, points out to an unmistakable growth of demand, especially in Asia – however there have been months of growth in Europe -, and a limited global pulp production capacity.

Altri was incorporated as a result of the reorganization process of Cofina, SGPS, S.A. through the demerger of the investment previously held by this group in Celulose do Caima, SGPS, S.A. (representing 97.23% of this company's share capital), under a simple demerger operation predicted in item 1.a), article 118 of the Commercial Companies Code ("Código das Sociedades Comerciais"). The relevant date for the production of juridical and accounting effects of this operation was 1 March 2005.

In the year ended at 31 December 2008, it was materialized a business reorganization, which involved the demerger process of the equity share held at F. Ramada - Aços e Indústrias, S.A., representative of the voting rights of the mentioned company. The restructuring involved a simple demerger operation predicted on item 1.a), article 118, of the Commercial Companies Code ("Código das Sociedades Comerciais"), for the constitution of a new company – F. Ramada – Investimentos, SGPS, S.A. ("Ramada Investimentos"). Due to this process, the company's patrimonial share related to the equity holdings management business unit for the sector of steel and storage systems was demerged to Ramada Investimentos, including all other resources (such as human resources, assets and liabilities) related to those companies activities.

15. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

On 16 April 2008 was signed the F. Ramada – Aços e Indústrias, S.A. demerger public deed. Under the terms of the 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.

Furthermore, in the end of 2008 ALTRI decided to shut down its Kraft paper industry unit. This decision was based on the declining Kraft paper business perspectives and on the poor contribute that this unit was giving to Group Altri's EBITDA (a tendency that showed no possibility of reversion).

Therefore, the contributes of this the units mentioned above, on the income statement, was recorded as "Operational units in discontinuation" (Notes 4.5 and 5).

This decision 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.

16. RELATED PARTIES
