FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MADECO S.A. ANNOUNCES

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2009

(Santiago, Chile, March 23, 2009) Madeco S.A. (“Madeco”) (Public, OTC: MADKY; prior NYSE ticker: MAD) announced its consolidated financial results in IFRS from IASB1 for the fourth quarter of 2009 which ended December 31, 2009. All figures are expressed in U.S. Dollars2. Historic financial information was calculated using the equivalent currency conversion for each amount on the corresponding date.

Madeco Highlights

1 From 2009 Madeco adopted the IFRS financial reporting standard for its financial statements. Historic data were accounted based on the same reporting standard.
2
As part of the implementation of IFRS financial reporting standard, the Company defined the U.S Dollar as its “base currency”.



  1. Highlights of the Income Statement (Exhibits 1 and 2)
Net Income 

Net income for 4Q09 of continuing operations of Madeco reached an increase of US$101,249 thousand (from a loss of US$93,457 to a gain of US$7,792 thousand), driven by the impairment applied in 2008 to Madeco’s investment in Nexans, higher other incomes of the Company (financial incomes, exchange rate effects, etc.) and higher operational income. On the other hand, discontinued operations obtained lower net income of US$4,776 thousand if both quarters are compared.

Revenues 

Revenues in 4Q09 were US$88,186 thousand, an 11.7% higher than the same quarter of 2008. The growth in consolidated revenues is mainly explained by higher prices of raw materials and raised volumes sales of 3.0%. The higher volume sales are explained by the increments derived from the Brass Mills and Packaging units.

Gross Margin 

Gross margin in 4Q09 was US$14,583 thousand, upper than the US$2,091 thousand reported in 4Q08 as a result of higher revenues, costs reductions plans implemented by the Company and the impairment applied to copper inventories by the end of 4Q08.

Operating Income3 

Operating income for 4Q09 amounted to US$3,273 thousand, from the loss of US$9,518 thousand obtained in the same period the year before. The increase of the operational income derived from the higher results obtained in the Packaging and Brass Mills units, and the reduction in Corporate expenses in 4Q09 compared to 4Q08.

Other Income (Loss)4 

Considering financial results, exchange differences and other incomes non-related to operations; Madeco obtained a gain of US$8,346 thousand which compares favorably with the loss of US$89,688 thousands as of December 2008. As was mentioned before, the loss reached in 2008 is largely explained by the impairment applied to Nexans investment due to lower share price and to a lesser extent to a depressed exchange rate between Euro and U.S. dollar.

Income Tax 

Income tax for continuing operations in December 2009 totaled US$3,814 thousand, compared to a credit of US$6,075 thousand of 2008, explained largely by the impairment applied to Company’s Investment in Nexans by the end of 2008.

Minority Interest 

While in 4Q09 the Company’s minority interest charges (reflecting mainly the portion of earnings/losses corresponding to the participation of minority shareholders in the subsidiaries, Alusa and Indalum) amounted to US$13 thousand, in 4Q08 totalized US$326 thousand mainly as result of the lower profits obtained in Alusa.

3 Estimated as the sum of: gross margin, R&D expenses, distribution costs, marketing and administrative expenses.

4 Estimated as the sum of: Other income of operations, Equity in earning (losses) of related companies, Other general expenses of operations, Financial expenses, Price-level restatement, and Other Incomes (losses) & Others effects.



  1. Analysis by Business Unit (Exhibits 3 to 6)
Packaging 

Revenues climbed between 4Q09 and 4Q08 from US$34,871 thousand to US$43,775 thousand, as a result of upper volumes sold and increased selling prices. Volume sales for 4Q09 rose by 13.3% in comparison with sales obtained in 4Q08.

Compared to 4Q08, cost of sales increased by 16.4% in 4Q09 from US$29,972 thousand to US$34,883 thousand. Costs as percentage of sales varied from 86.0% to 79.7%.

Gross margin grew by 81.5% from US$4,899 thousand in 4Q08 to US$8,892 thousand in 4Q09, mainly due to the good performance of the Chilean and Argentinean subsidiaries, and to a lesser extent to the results of the Peruvian subsidiary.

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to US$3,483 thousand in 4Q09 a rise compared with the US$1,742 thousand of 4Q08. Higher expenses between both periods are explained by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar in 4Q08 against local currencies and in the case of Chile and Argentina, higher distribution costs derived from increased volumes sold.

Operating income in 4Q09 totaled US$5,409 thousand a better performance than the US$3,157 thousand obtained in 4Q08, attributable to the good performance of the Chilean and Argentinean subsidiaries counterbalanced by the minor drop obtained in the Peruvian facility.

Brass Mills 

Revenues in 4Q09 reached to US$31,952 thousand, 53.1% higher than the US$20,870 thousand reported in 4Q08. This was due to increased volumes sold (increment of 1.8%) and higher LME copper price in 4Q09 compared to 4Q08.

Cost of sales rose by 14.3% as a result of higher volume sales and greater prices of copper. Nevertheless, this increment was balanced by an impairment applied to the inventories of the Company, as consequence of the abrupt decline in the price of copper by the end of 2008 (the average price of LME copper in December 2008 was 56.1% lower than the average price of September 2008).

Gross margin in December 2009 was US$2,208 thousand rather than the loss of US$5,143 thousand obtained in 2008, explained by the impairment applied to the Company’s copper inventories in 2008 and to the implementation of plans to achieve higher operational efficiencies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 37.5%, from US$5,042 thousand to US$3,152 thousand, derived mainly from lower distribution costs and other general administrative expenses.

Operating income totaled a loss of US$944 thousand in 4Q09 compared to the loss of US$10.185 thousand of 4Q08, due to a higher gross margin offset by lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Profiles 

Revenues in 4Q09 reached to US$12,459 thousand, 46.3% lower than the US$23,186 thousand reported in 4Q08. This was due to lower volumes sold (24.5%), reflecting the lower activity of the Chilean construction market, nevertheless this lower activity trend is expected to change in the forth coming quarters.

Cost of sales decreased by 57.0%, from US$20,851 thousand in 4Q08 to US$8,976 thousand in 4Q09 explained by lower volume sold, the efforts made by the Company to reduce production costs and a lower difference between inventories sold and market prices (inventories were adjusted to market price by the end of June 30, 2009).

Gross margin in December 2009 was US$3,483 thousands higher than the US$2,335 thousands of December 2008, as percentage over sales the ratio varied positively from 10.1% to 28.0%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 40.5%, from US$2,481 thousand to US$3,487 thousand in 4Q09, attributable to lower exchange rate between both periods (depreciation of 26,3% of U.S. dollar against Chilean Peso in 4Q09) and higher administrative expenses (e.g. lawyers, consultancy fees, etc.).

Operating income for 4Q09 totaled a loss of US$4 thousand lower than the loss of US$146 thousand reported in 4Q08, due to higher gross margin, offset by the growth of selling, general and administrative expenses.

Corporate 

This segment was created based on the interpretation of international accounting standards, due to the significance of the Company's investments (i.e. cash, time deposits and shares of Nexans received after the sale of the Wire & Cable unit). Along with other assets that were defined as investments (e.g. assets for lease).

As of December 31, 2009, this unit has no revenues. Selling, general and administrative expenses reflect mainly the Company’s corporate expenses. Despite having a negative operating income, the unit obtained in the fourth quarter of 2009 approximately US$302 thousands as financial income (interest related to time deposits held by the Company, net from financial expenses).



  1. Balance Sheet Analysis (Exhibit 7)
Assets 

Total assets as of December 31, 2009 were US$727,824 thousand, 11.7% less than the US$824,448 thousand as of December 2008.

Current Assets of Continuing Operations

Amounted to US$307,388 thousand, a fall of 33.5% compared to December 31, 2008. This reduction is explained by the payment of the dividend (reduction in Cash and Cash Equivalents of US$127,341 thousand, net of interest received on time deposits and receipt of the dividend from Nexans) and lower inventories (US$15,676 thousand) mainly due to the Company’s stock-reduction plans.

Non Current Assets

Amounted to US$418,020 thousand, a rise of 16.6% over 2008, mainly due to the increased value of the investment in Nexans because of a higher market value of its shares and a greater appreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar, compared to December 2008.

Other Assets (Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations)

Amounted to US$2,416 thousand, less than the US$3,959 thousand at December 2008 due to the sale of machinery and equipment held for sale (fiber optic equipment) compensated by the higher balance of other assets.

Liabilities 

Liabilities as of December 31, 2009 amounted to US$166,577 thousand, below the level of US$205,630 thousand at December 2008, due to the payment of income tax for 2008 (reduction in Accounts payable for current taxes), debt payment installments and to a lesser extent the recognition of the minimum dividend payment of Madeco (reduction in Other liabilities – dividends payable -).

Financial & Bank Debt

The Company’s bank debt groups together its liabilities with Banks and financial institutions (interest-bearing) and liabilities related to leasing contracts of the Packaging unit, amounted to US$78,496 thousand at December 2009, representing a 6.7% reduction compared to the end of 2008, due to the effects of exchange rate variations on debt in currencies other than the control currency and borrowings during the year.

Shareholders’ Equity 

Total equity at December 31, 2009 was US$561,247 thousand, representing a 9.3% reduction compared to the US$618,818 thousand at December 2008.

Paid Capital (Issued Capital)

The paid capital as of December 31, 2009 was US$400,938 thousand, US$12 thousand less that at December 2008.

Shares Portfolio (Own Shares in Portfolio)

The Company had no own shares in portfolio as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, these amounted to US$18 thousand.

Other Reserves (Reserves)

These amounted to US$111,678 thousand at the end of 2009, superior to the balance of US$64,074 thousand at the end of 2008, mainly explained by the effect of the valuation of the investment in Nexans (appreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar and higher market value of the Nexans share).

Minority Interest

These totaled US$19,721 thousand at the end of December 2009, compared to US$18,055 thousand at the end of 2008, due to variations in Madeco’s companies that have minority shareholders (Alusa and Indalum). These variations are mainly explained by the larger earnings generated by companies in the Packaging unit.

Retained Earnings / (Accumulated Losses)

Retained earnings amounted to US$28,910 thousand at December 2009, compared to US$135,757 thousand at December 2008. The reduction was the result of the payment of the Company’s dividend for the year 2008, net of the effects of the net income for 2009.
