FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MADECO S.A. ANNOUNCES

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2007

(Santiago, Chile, October 26, 2007) Madeco S.A. (“Madeco”) (NYSE ticker: MAD) announced today its consolidated financial results in Chilean GAAP for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. All figures are expressed in Chilean pesos as of September 30, 2007. Translations to US dollars made in this report are based on the exchange rate on that date (US$1.00 = Ch$ 511.23) and UF1.00= Ch$ 19,178.94 as of September 30, 2007.

Madeco Highlights

• For the third quarter of the year, the Company reported net income of Ch$3,731 million, 52.2% less than the Ch$7,803 million reached during the same period of 2006. Operating income decreased from Ch$15,553 million to Ch$11,632 million due to higher operational expenses and lower margins associated with the Brass Mills and Wire and Cable units. The latter suffered from a negative mix effect caused by the increasing share of lower margin aluminum cables compared to those of copper. The income tax charges, minority interest and others lowered earning by Ch$572 million. These lower profits were partially offset by a lower charge to non-operating income of Ch$421 million.
• Revenues increased by 3.3% in 3Q07 compared to 3Q06, reaching Ch$160,618 million. This increase is explained by sales associated with the Company’s acquisitions in the beginning of 2007, increased prices of raw materials and higher sales of copper and aluminum cables. In spite of these positive effects, the Brass Mills unit and the copper rod division showed significant reductions in their revenues of 28.7% and 30.9%, respectively, compared to 3Q06 due to a negative volume effect.
• Operating income decreased by 25.2% in 3Q07 to Ch$11,632 million. This was mostly attributable to a decline of 15.4% in gross income (explained mostly by higher energy, labor and others operational costs), as well as an increase of 4.9% in selling, general and administrative expenses, lower margins obtained by the Brass Mills unit and an increase of lower margin aluminum cable products.
• As of the third quarter of 2007, cash and cash equivalents were Ch$11,067 million compared to Ch$13,163 million in 3Q06. This is explained by lower cash flow from financing and higher cash needs associated with the Company’s investment plan, partially offset by an improved operational cash flow compared to 3Q06 and a higher initial cash balance.
• As was communicated by Madeco’s Flexible Packaging unit on July 13, 2007, the Company increased its shareholding in Peruplast S.A. (a Peruvian flexible packaging producer) to 50%. This final share increase of 10.5% was part of the original agreement signed by the Company and Shintec S.A., earlier this year. On October 1^st, 2007, Peruplast and Tech Pak merged retaining the name of Peruplast.
   

1. Highlights of the Income Statement (Exhibit 1 and 2)

Net Income Net income was Ch$3,731 million for 3Q07, 52.2% lower than the Ch$7,803 million reported in 3Q06. This was mainly due to a reduction in operating income of Ch$3,921 million (-25.2%) compared to the third quarter of 2006 and higher income tax obligations, minority interest charges and others charges of Ch$572 million. The reduction was partially offset by a decrease in non-operating losses of Ch$421 million.

Revenues Revenues were Ch$160,618 million in 3Q07, a 3.3% increase over the same period in the previous year. The higher consolidated revenues are mainly explained by higher copper and aluminum prices during 2007 and the contribution from the new consolidating companies (Peruplast, Tech Pak y Cedsa), which have an additional effect of Ch$14,913 million. Sales volumes showed an increase of 8,183 tonnes (it includes volumes of the consolidating new companies), 25.2% above 3Q06 with an effect on sales of Ch$5,085 million, notwithstanding lower volumes sold in the Brass Mills Unit and copper rod division (these decreased by 1,053 and 1,748 tonnes respectively).

Gross Income Gross income was Ch$19,566 million in 3Q07, 15.4% lower than the Ch$29,366 million reported in 3Q06 as a resu lt of a 6.5% increase in cost of sales and a 3.3% increase in revenues. The increase in the cost of sales is basically due to higher energy costs (oil prices, replacement of natural gas by other fuels, etc.), labor expenses and to a lesser degree by higher cost of principal raw materials, like copper and aluminum. The growth in the average copper price (LME) in the third quarter of 2007 was 0.5% in dollar terms (from US$7,670 to US$7,712 per tonne) compared to the average price in the same quarter of 2006; in the case aluminum, the increment was 2.3%, also in dollar terms (from US$2,482 to US$2,547 per tonne).

Operating Income Operating income amounted to Ch$11,632 million for 3Q07, 25.2% lower than the Ch$15,553 million obtained in the same period the year before. The reduction in operating income is explained by a decrease of 15.4% in gross income, lower margins associated with the Brass Mills unit, an increase of lower margin products in some sales segments of the Company and an increase of 7.9% in selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of higher turnover and costs involved in the implementation of the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

Non-Operating Result The Company’s non-operating losses amounted to Ch$4,902 million for 3Q07, 7.9% lower than the losses of Ch$5,324 million reported in 3Q06. This is basically due to a profit of Ch$502 million in foreign exchange differences and price-level restatement result s compared to the loss of Ch$1,872 million of the year before. The higher gain from exchange differences in 3Q07 is principally the result of the higher appreciation of the Brazilian Real (BRL) compared to 3Q06, as well as the appreciation of the Colombian Peso. In addition to this effect, the net charge for interest expense decreased during this quarter by Ch$238 million, due to lower expenses related to the Company’s bonds (that were reduced in 2007), as well as higher income from interest income.

Minority Interest The Company’s minority interest charges (reflecting the portion of earnings/losses related to the participation of minority shareholders in the subsidiaries Alusa, Indeco, Indalum and Cedsa) reached Ch$904 million in 3Q07 compared to Ch$320 million in 3Q06, as a result of the acquisition of Cedsa, Peruplast and Tech Pak (Peruplast and Tech Pak consolidate with Alusa).

 

2. Analysis by Business Unit (Exhibits 3 to 6)

Wire and Cable

Revenues obtained by this unit in 3Q07 amounted Ch$103,078 million (an increase of 7.6%), of which Ch$16,631 million are from copper rod sales and Ch$86,447 million from cable sales. Sales volume increased by 28.8% due to an increase in aluminum cables sold in Brazil and Argentina (+143.5% and +101.7%, respectively), higher sales of copper cables in Peru and Chile (+38.0% and +34.8%, respectively) and the addition of Cedsa (Ch$4,981 million or 982 tonnes). These were partially offset by reduced sales of copper rod in Peru and Chile of 11.2% and 27.4%, respectively, due to internal consumption to produce cables in spite of sales to third parties.

The cost of sales amounted to Ch$89,986 million in 3Q07, 11.6% higher than the Ch$80,624 million reported in the same period the year before. This increase was mostly due to the increased volume sold, higher energy costs and, to a lesser extent, to the increased LME copper and aluminum prices which rose by 0.5% and 2.3% respectively, in dollar terms.

Gross Income decreased by 13.6% from Ch$15,151 to Ch$13,092 in 3Q07, as a result of higher operational costs and higher sales of aluminum cables (which have lower margin compared to copper cables).

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 7.9% in 3Q07 (from Ch$4,624 million to Ch$4,261 million), due to lower sales and merchandising expenses and lower expenses related to export sales (freight charges, customs agents, etc.), partially offset by higher costs involved in the implemen tation of the Sarbanes Oxley Act and the consolidating expenses related to Cedsa.

Operating income totaled Ch$8,831 million in 3Q07 compared to Ch$10,527 million in 3Q06, a decrease of 16.1%, explained by lower gross income, partially offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses in the cables and copper rod divisions.

Brass Mills 

Revenues were Ch$28,460 million in 3Q07, 26.6% lower than the Ch$38,761 million reported in 3Q06. This was due to a reduction in volumes sold in domestic markets (Chile and Argentina), as well as lower export sales. These effects were partially offset by higher sale prices in 3Q07 compared to 3Q06.

Cost of sales showed a decrease of 20.5% as a result of the lower sales volume. However, as a percentage of sales, these costs increased from 88.5% to 95.8%, due to higher energy and operating costs, as well as higher prices of raw materials.

Gross income was reduced by 73.4% in 3Q07, explained primarily by lower sales and higher cost of sales (in terms of percentage of sales).

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 7.9%, from Ch$1,312 million to Ch$1,208 million. On the other hand, as a percentage of sales, expenses increased from 3.4% to 4.2%.

Operating losses amounted to Ch$24 million in 3Q07 compared to a operating income of Ch$3,131 million in 3Q06, due to the lower sales volume and lower margins.

Flexible Packaging 

Revenues increased by 69.7%, from Ch$12,447 million to Ch$21,169 million, including therevenues of Peruplast and Tech Pak subsidiaries of Ch$9,122 million. Sales volume increased by 134.8% in 3Q07 (Chile rose by 10.5% and Argentina decreased by 8.0%). The sales volumes of Peruplast and Tech Pak reached 5,354 tonnes (after eliminating inter-company sales), accounting for 53.3% of the total unit’s sales volume in 3Q07.

Cost of sales rose by 66.9%, from Ch$10,426 million to Ch$17,405 million. These costs include the Peruplast and Tech Pak subsidiaries which amounted to Ch$7,983 million. As a percentage of sales, costs decreased from 83.6% to 82.2%.

Gross income increased by 83.5% in 3Q07 from Ch$2,051 million in 3Q06, mainly due to the consolidation of the Peruvian subsidiaries. As a percentage of sales, the margin increased from 16.4% to 17.8%, in spite of higher costs of energy and raw materials (aluminum, propylene, etc.) as well as higher labor costs in Argentina.

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose by Ch$1,197 million from Ch$729 million in 3Q06, an increase of 64.2% (the Peruvian subsidiaries represented 39.6% of the Unit’s expenses). In spite of higher expenses, as a percentage of sales, SG&A decreased from 5.8% to 5.7% in 3Q07.

Operating income in 3Q07 was Ch$3,775 million compared to Ch$1,980 million in 3Q06.

Aluminum Profiles

Revenues decreased by 7.1% in 3Q07 compared to 3Q06, from Ch$8,512 million to Ch$7,911 million. The lower revenues are explained by a drop in sales volume (20.9% compared to 3Q06), partially offset by higher selling prices (aluminum prices in dollar term, increased 2.3% during the third quarter compared to 2006).

Cost of sales decreased by 9.3%, from Ch$7,040 million to Ch$6,385 million. As a percentage of sales, unit’s costs decreased from 82.7% to 80.7%, although the Company incurred higher raw materials costs.

Gross income in 3Q07 increased by 3.7% compared to Ch$1,472 million in 3Q06. As a percentage of sales, the ratio increased from 17.3% to 19.3% in 3Q07.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 40.9%, from Ch$900 million to Ch$1,268 million due to higher sale s activity in the north of Chile. As a percentage of sales, expenses increased from 10.6% to 16.0% during the third quarter of 2007.

Operating income for 3Q07 was Ch$258 million, 54.9% lower than the Ch$572 million reported in 3Q06, due to the higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Nevertheless, the gross income also increased, partially compensating for this effect.

 

3. Balance Sheet Analysis (Exhibit 7)

Assets

As of September 30, 2007, the Company’s assets amounted to Ch$499,254 million, an increase of 12.5% over the Ch$443,610 million reported as of September 30, 2006.

Current Assets

Amounted to Ch$298,400 million, 21.4% higher than September 2006, mainly explained by higher accounts receivable (Ch$18,953 million) and inventories (Ch$27,690 million, as a result of the incorporation of the new the companies which added Ch$17,172 million to inventories).

Fixed Assets

Amounted to Ch$165,659 million, a net increase of Ch$11,140 million over 3Q06, mainly due to the effect of the acquisition on machinery and equipment of Ch$25,878 million, an increase of Ch$6,238 in buildings and infrastructure, offset by depreciation for the period of Ch$25,275 million. The variations are mainly explained by new acquisitions, as well as the incorporation of PVTEC (a new PVC profiles subsidiary).

Other Assets
