MADECO S.A. ANNOUNCES

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2006

(Santiago, Chile, February 27, 2007) Madeco S.A. ("Madeco") (NYSE ticker: MAD) today announced its consolidated financial results in Chilean GAAP for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2006. All figures are expressed in Chilean pesos as of December 31, 2006. Translations to US dollars made in this report are based on the exchange rate on that date (US$1.00 = Ch$532.39) and UF1.00= Ch$18,336.38 as of December 31, 2006.

Madeco Highlights

For the year 2006, the Company produced a net income of Ch$30,204 million, 146% more than the Ch$12,267 million reported for the year 2005. This improved result comprises an increase in operating income of Ch$23,341 million, a higher charge for the non-operating result of Ch$917 million and a higher charge for income tax, minority interest and others of Ch$4,486 million.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company obtained a net income of Ch$2,727 million, 48.8% up on the Ch$1,833 million reported for the same period of 2005. This improvement was in spite of a fall of Ch$86 million in operating income and a higher charge of Ch$682 million for income tax, minority interest and others. These were offset by a reduced charge for the non-operating result of Ch$1,663 million.

Revenues in 2006 increased by 49.8% compared to 2005, reaching Ch$559,141 million. Revenues in the fourth quarter were Ch$132,975 million, representing a 47.4% increase over the same quarter of 2005. This rise for the fourth quarter is explained by the increase in the price of raw materials which was passed on to customers in the sales price, despite a slight reduction of 0.5% in sales volumes.

At the end of the year, the Company's operating income increased by 82.1% to Ch$51,766 million, as a result of increases in prices and sales volumes.

The operating income in the fourth quarter declined by 1.4% to Ch$5,920 million, partly explained by lower sales volumes compared to the same period of 2005 and a 3.4% reduction in the gross income margin to sales ratio, compensated by a 1.2% fall in the ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses to sales.

As reported during 2006, the abrupt rise in the copper price starting in April 2006 generated extraordinary operating income until October due to the method of accounting for copper at its average weighted price in the cost of sales for each month. This situation reverted in November and has been reflected in a charge to operating costs of Ch$3,122 million, in order to balance at the year-end the value of our copper stocks at the average LME (London Metal Exchange) price for December 2006.

At the end of the year, the balance of cash and cash equivalents was Ch$17,545 million compared to Ch$7,955 million in 2005. Madeco thus improved its already solid financial position reflected in a current ratio of 2.89 (times), against 2.29 as of December 2005.

Investments during the year increased to US$26 million approx., its principal uses being the Wire and Cable business (US$11 million), Flexible Packaging (US$10 million) and Aluminum Profiles (US$5 million), compared to depreciation for the year of a similar amount.

Highlights of the Income Statement (Exhibits 1 & 2)

Net Income Net income for 4Q06 was Ch$2,727 million, 48.8% higher than the Ch$1,833 million produced in the fourth quarter of 2005. This was mainly due to a smaller non-operating loss of Ch$1,663 million (-30%) compared to the 4Q05. This was partially offset by a reduction in operating income of Ch$86 million and a higher charge for income tax, minority interest and others of Ch$682 million.

Revenues Revenues in 4Q06 were Ch$132,975 million, a 47.4% increase over the same period of the previous year. This increase in consolidated revenues is basically explained by the higher copper and aluminum prices during 2006 and the sale of higher value-added products. Sales volumes in the quarter showed a slight fall of 149 tonnes, 0.5% below 4Q05.

Gross Income The gross income 4Q06 was Ch$13,666 million, 10.6% more than the Ch$12,356 million of the year before as a result of the 47.4% increase in revenues and a 53.2% increase in the cost of sales. The increase in the cost of sales is basically due to the increase in the cost of the principal raw materials, like copper and aluminum. The rise in the average copper price (LME) in the last quarter of 2006, compared to the average in same quarter of 2005 was 65% in dollar terms (from US$4,297 to US$7,087 per tonne); in the case aluminum, the rise was 31.3%, also in dollars (from US$2,071 to US$2,719 per tonne).

As informed during 2006, the sharp rise in the copper price starting in April generated extraordinary gross income until October due to the method of accounting for copper at its average weighted price in the cost of sales for each month. This situation reverted in November and has been reflected in a charge to operating costs of Ch$3,122 million, in order to balance at the year-end the value of our copper stocks at the average LME (London Metal Exchange) price for December 2006.

Operating Income Operating income for 4Q06 amounted to Ch$5,920 million, 1.4% lower than the Ch$6,006 million obtained in the same period of the year before. This reduction is explained by a 22.0% increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of the higher turnover and the higher costs involved in the implementation of the Sarbanes Oxley Act requirements, compensated by the increase of Ch$1,310 million (10.6%) in the gross income.

Non-Operating Result The Company's non-operating loss for 4Q06 amounted to Ch$3,875 million, 30.0% lower than the loss of Ch$5,538 million reported for the 4Q05. This is basically due to an exchange differences and price-level restatements gain of Ch$389 million, compared to a loss of Ch$3,319 million at 4Q05. The gain from exchange differences at 4Q06 is principally the result of the appreciation of the Brazilian Real (BRL) and Peruvian Sol (PEN). There was also a loss in other non-operating income of Ch$396 million, representing a fall of Ch$1,598 million compared to 4Q05 as a result of the reversal of provisions for Optel made in 2005. In addition, financial expenses rose by Ch$602 million (26.1%) due to higher bank debt to finance working capital increase.

The Company showed a net loss of Ch$26 million with respect to derivative contracts (hedging) of 3,500 tonnes of copper. This loss comprised a gain of Ch$1,040 million as a result of the valuation (mark to market) of the contracts and a loss of Ch$1,066 million for the devaluation of stocks at the average LME price for December 2006.

Income Tax During the 4Q06, income tax was a credit of Ch$1,107 million, compared to Ch$1,667 million in the same period of the year before, as a result of the reversal of provisions. However, the accumulated figure for the year 2006 shows a charge of Ch$5,205 million, compared to Ch$1,498 million in 2005 as a result of the higher income before taxes shown by most of the companies consolidated in the Madeco group.

Minority Interest The Company's minority interest (reflecting mainly the portion of earnings/losses corresponding to the participation of minority shareholders in the subsidiaries Alusa, Indeco and Indalum) was a negative Ch$431 million in 4Q06 compared to the negative Ch$321 million in 4Q05, as a result of the higher net income produced by these subsidiaries.

Analysis by Business Unit (Exhibits 3 to 6)

Wire and Cable Revenues in 4Q06 amounted to Ch$92,034 million of which Ch$24,891 million came from sales of copper rod, and Ch$67,143 million from sales of cables. Sales volumes rose by 6.9%, particularly of copper rod in Peru (112.6%) and cables in Argentina (61.0%). These volumes were partially offset by reduced volumes in Brazil (10.3%).

The cost of sales amounted to Ch$83,016 million in 4Q06, 81.5% higher than the Ch$45,749 million reported the year before. This increase was principally due to the increased volume sold and to the increased LME copper and aluminum prices which rose by 65% and 31% respectively in dollar terms, comparing quarters.

Gross Income rose by 12.9% in 4Q06, mainly due to the result of increased sales volumes of wire and of sales prices.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 23.9%, from Ch$3,653 million to Ch$4,527 million, as a result of higher commercialization and operating activity. However, these reduced as a percentage of sales, from 6.8% to 4.9% in 2006.

Operating income totaled Ch$4,491 million in 4Q06 against Ch$4,335 million in 4Q05, an increase of 3.6%, explained by an increase of Ch$1,119 million in cables and a decrease of Ch$963 million in copper rod.

Brass Mills Revenues in 4Q06 reached Ch$21,584 million, 16.9% more than the Ch$18,471 million produced the previous year. This was principally due to the higher copper price despite the 27.9% lower sales volume with respect to 4Q05.

The cost of sales showed a rise of 16.7% as a result of the rise in the copper price.

The gross income rose by 19.8% compared to 4Q05, mainly due to efficiencies generated by the restructuring of operations in Chile during the 4Q05.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 24.6%, from Ch$1,083 million to Ch$1,349 million. Expenses have also risen as a percentage of sales, from 5.9% to 6.3% in 2006.

Operating income was a negative Ch$138 million in 4Q06 against a negative Ch$72 million in 4Q05, due to the higher selling, general and administrative expenses and lower volumes sold.

Flexible Packaging Revenues increased by 7.0%, from Ch$10,614 million to Ch$11,360 million. Sales volumes in Chile and Argentina rose to provide a combined increase of 14.3%.

The cost of sales rose by 10.4%, from Ch$8,606 million to Ch$9,503 million. These costs in Chile reduced by 1.7% because of improvements in efficiency and procurement management, while those in Argentina increased by 39.5% due to the larger sales volumes. However, as a percentage of sales, costs declined from 81.2% to 80.4%.

The gross income decreased by 7.5% from Ch$2,008 million to Ch$1,857 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose by 15.9% to Ch$851 million in 4Q06. As a percentage of sales, these expenses also increased, from 6.9% to 7.5% in 4Q06.

Operating income for 4Q06 for this unit was Ch$1,006 million, against Ch$1,274 million in 4Q05.

Aluminum Profiles Revenues in 4Q06 increased by 8.2% compared to 2005, from Ch$7,388 million to Ch$7,997 million. This was despite a slight 0.6% reduction in the sales volume.

The cost of sales rose by 6.3%, from Ch$6,039 million to Ch$6,417million, as a result of the increase in the average price of the raw material (average price of aluminum in 4Q06 was 31% higher in dollar terms than in 4Q05).

The gross income improved as a proportion of sales, from 18.3% to 19.8%, and increased by 17.1%, from Ch$1,349 million in 4Q05 to Ch$1,580 million in 4Q06.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 15.8%, from Ch$880 million to Ch$1,019 million due to the greater turnover. Correspondingly, as a percentage of sales, these moved from 11.9% to 12.7% in 2006.

The operating income for 4Q06 was Ch$561 million, 19.6% higher than the Ch$469 million for 4Q05.

Balance Sheet Analysis (Exhibit 7)

Assets The Company's assets at December 31, 2006 amounted to Ch$416,782 million, an increase over the Ch$351,569 at December 31, 2005.

Current Assets

Amounted to Ch$232,284 million, 43.2% higher than at December 2005, mainly attributable to higher accounts receivable (Ch$26,995 million) and inventories (Ch$21,748 million), as a result of the greater sales volumes and the higher price of raw materials, and to a slighter degree, an increase in other current assets (Ch$10,506 million), recoverable taxes (Ch$3,018 million) and deferred taxes (Ch$2,178 million).

Fixed Assets

Amounted to Ch$147,948 million, a net increase of Ch$42 million over 2005 (Ch$147,906 million), mainly due to the effect of the acquisition of fixed assets (Ch$13,904 million) offset by depreciation of the year of Ch$14,298 million.

Other Assets

Amounted to Ch$36,550 million, an 11.7% (-Ch$4,853 million) decrease from 2005, mainly due to the sale of the Santa Marta plant by Indalum for Ch$1,281 million and the re-classification of the Aratú plant as an Other current asset for sale by the subsidiary Ficap.

Liabilities Total liabilities at December 31, 2006 amounted to Ch$153,759 million, 16.9% more than at December 2005.

Bank Debt

Amounted to Ch$73,202 million at December 2006, representing an increase of 39.1% (Ch$20,558 million) compared the same date of the previous year. This reflects greater borrowings by Madeco group companies to finance their greater working capital needs due to the higher prices of raw materials and sales volumes.

On June 5, 2006, Madeco signed a US$50 million 5-year club deal. Approximately US$12 million of the proceeds were used to prepay debts with Quiñenco. Another US$13 million was used to repay a bridging loan that BBVA had granted to the Company related to the capital increase. The other US$25 million was used for working capital. As of December 31, the first installment of this loan (US$4 million) has been repaid and 2 installments totaling US$8 million prepaid.

Bonds

Bonds payable amounted to Ch$24,763 million at December 2006, corresponding to the D Series whose last repayment matures in December 2011. The bonds outstanding reduced by 14.8% with respect to the year before due to amortization. These bonds are payable semi-annually with respect to principal and interest (at UF + 5% per annum).

Shareholders' Equity The total outstanding at December 31, 2006 was Ch$251,555 million, which represents a 20.0% increase over December 2005.

Paid Capital

Amounted to Ch$264,072 million at December 2006, which compares positively with Ch$254,609 million at December 2005, due to the subscription on the Santiago Stock Exchange of 192,802,758 shares, equivalent to all the shares remaining issued and registered on October 17, 2005. The Company received a total of approximately Ch$9,463 million from the transaction.

Share Premium

Remained constant at Ch$40,090 million at December 2006.

Other Reserves

Decreased from a negative Ch$3,179 million at December 2005 to a negative Ch$1,253 million at December 2006, as a result of the depreciation of the CLP and other foreign currencies between those dates and its impact on equity, through the application of the accounting Technical Bulletin 64 with respect to foreign investments.

Accumulated Losses

Amounted to Ch$51,353 million at December 2006 compared to a loss of Ch$81,826 million at December 2005, following the positive result for 2006.
