In a hostile economic environment, Semapa’s turnover for the first nine months of 2008 was up by 3% on the same period in the previous year, at 1,089.2 million euros.

Total EBITDA recorded stood at 274.1 million euros, representing a fall of 15% on the same period in 2007.

The drop in EBITDA was due essentially to two factors: i) the EBITDA for 2007 included a gain of 25.6 million euros on the disposal of shares in EDP, not repeated in the period in question, and ii) Portucel’s EBITDA was down by 11% on the first nine months of 2007, due to the sharp cost rises for certain factors of production, most particularly for timber. The growth in EBITDA recorded by Secil (up by 9%) was not sufficient to offset these two negative factors.
