These funds will fuel growth as Parque Arauco seeks to strengthen and expand its presence and brand recognition throughout the Andean region. In Perú, we opened two new operations: MegaPlaza Chimbote and Mega Express Villa El Salvador. During the first quarter, we reached an agreement to acquire the Santiago-based outlet mall, Buenaventura.

First Quarter 2012 Consolidated Results

Revenues for 1Q 2012 were Ch$ 22,964 million, a 16.5% increase as compared to 1Q 2011. Total GLA expansion and rental revenue increases were the catalysts for revenue growth improving 4.8% and 10.3%, respectively. Total GLA in Chile grew 5.0% to 432,700 m2, with the additions coming from expansions of current properties, Arauco Maipú and Arauco San Antonio, and the partial opening of Arauco Quilicura. Rental revenue from Chile improved 9.3%. In Peru, total GLA increased 5.1% to 144,000 m2, driven by expansions from Mega Plaza Norte and Mega Express Villa, while rental revenue grew 7.9%. In Colombia rental revenue improved 51.0%.

Gross profit for the quarter was Ch$ 17,838 million, a year-over-year increase of 9.8%. The cost of sales grew 48.1% to Ch$ 5,127 million with additional expenses coming from increased infrastructure in support of the Company’s expansion plan, new properties in operation, and renovations of current properties.

SG&A expenses decreased 15.8% to Ch$ 2,054 million due to a mixture of savings and expense recovery from new properties graduating to more mature stages. Administrative expenses include costs related to the Company’s growth plans and cost restructuring initiatives, advertising and marketing expenses as well as facilities costs which tend to be greater in the first year of operation of new properties.

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased 16.5% to Ch$ 466 million as compared to Ch$ 557 million in 1Q 2011.

The Company recorded EBITDA of Ch$ 16,248 million, a 13.1% improvement compared to the Ch$ 14,364 million recorded in 1Q 2011. However, the EBITDA margin decreased 2.1 percentage points to 70.8% as additional expenses from the Company’s expansion plan partially offset additional revenue from added GLA, rental revenue growth, and increased common expense recovery at established properties.

Non-operating expenses of Ch$ 6,947 million were recorded in 1Q 2012 compared to non-operating expenses of Ch$ 5,146 million in 1Q 2011. The principal contributors were higher net financial expenses associated with the Company’s investment plan and revaluation of certain assets. Net financial expenses increased 16.1% to Ch$ 3,453 in 1Q 2012. Other expenses increased to Ch$ 700 million, compared to other expenses in 1Q 2011 of Ch$ 332 million. Foreign exchange differences contributed an expense of Ch$ 518 million as compared to a Ch$ 159 million expense the previous year. The inflationary environment that prevailed in 1Q 2012 resulted in a loss on indexed assets and liabilities of Ch$ 2,275 million, a 35.4% increase compared to a loss of Ch$ 1,680 million in 1Q 2011.

Net income was Ch$ 7,623 million, or Ch$ 10.85 per share, as compared with net income of Ch$ 7,110 million, or Ch$ 11.60 per share, in 1Q 2011. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter was 702.75 million as compared to 612.75 million in 1Q 2011.

FFO (“Funds from Operations”), defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization minus a gain (loss) on indexed assets and liabilities minus any gains (losses) on other non-cash items, was Ch$ 10,364 million, compared to Ch$ 9,348 million in 1Q 2011, an increase of 10.9%.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled Ch$ 148,728 million at the end of the 1Q 2012 compared to Ch$ 136,430 million in 4Q 2011. The Company successfully raised US$ 81 million from a debt offering in January of 2012 in Perú. Net financial debt at the end of 1Q 2012 was Ch$ 215,753 million down from Ch$ 204,623 million in 1Q 2011. The Company remains comfortably within its financial covenants with Liabilities/ (Equity+ Minority Interest) of 0.91 as compared to a limit of 1.4 and EBITDA/Financial Expenses of 3.18, substantially above the requisite of 2.5.

Occupancy remained relatively stable as compared to the prior year. Additionally, the Company owns a land bank of more than 600,000 m² in Chile, Peru and Colombia for future developments.

Colombia

Parque Arboleda: This shopping center opened during the fourth quarter of 2010 in Pereira, Colombia.

Outlook

Parque Arauco will continue to extend its regional footprint and has developed an investment plan of approximately US$ 650 million to expand its operations in Chile (17% of investment), Colombia (51% of investment), and Peru (32% of investment) through 2016. In January, the Company completed an approximate US$ 81 million debt offering, which, along with free cash flow, debt at the project level, current liquidity and partnerships, and the recent secondary equity issuance, enables Parque Arauco to support the growth in its current and new developments.
