San
Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, Mexico - October 26, 2007 - Vitro S.A.B. de C.V.
(BMV: VITROA; NYSE: VTO)
one of the world's largest producers and
distributors of glass products, today announced 3Q'07 unaudited results. Year
over year consolidated net sales increased 7.1 percent and EBITDA declined US$11
million or 10.5 percent. The consolidated EBITDA margin declined 280 basis
points to 14.1 percent due to disruptions in production as a result of the
failure in natural gas supply caused by two incidents at PEMEX pipelines.
Excluding this effect, EBITDA for the quarter rose 1 percent to US$106
million.

Commenting on the
results for the quarter, Federico Sada, Chief Executive Officer, said "This was
another solid quarter with a strong performance at both Glass Containers and
Flat Glass. In fact, excluding the impact of the interruption in natural gas
supply in July and September, comparable consolidated EBITDA reached an all-time
high."
"Our Glass Containers
operations also posted record EBITDA during the quarter, excluding the effect of
the disruption in operations," he continued.
Mr. Enrique Osorio,
Chief Financial Officer, noted that "very quick response from the Vitro team and
our energy suppliers, coupled with increased efficiencies and capacity
utilization reduced the impact from both incidents limiting the total net effect
to approximately US$12 million for Glass Containers and Flat Glass."
"To avoid future
disruptions, we have installed a backup system in all of our containers
manufacturing facilities in Mexico that will allow us to maintain the integrity
of our furnaces. We are now in the process of implementing additional preventive
measures at these facilities to avoid similar gas related production
interruptions in the future. We also remain focused on continuing to pursue
increased efficiencies and capacity utilization to partially offset this
negative impact before year-end."
"At Flat Glass, we are
pleased to report a 6.1 percent year-over-year increase in EBITDA. This is the
third consecutive quarter of EBITDA growth and on a comparable basis, the
highest EBITDA recorded since 4Q'04, despite the approximately US$0.4 million
impact from the effect of the interruption in natural gas supply at two
automotive glass production facilities in September. This quarter, auto glass
sales increased both for AGR and OEM. Sales growth to the OEM market reflected
our strategy to increase sales of value added products and diversify our client
base by focusing on Japanese manufacturers, with strong sales volume for the
Nissan Sentra platform."
"We are pleased with the progress achieved as we continue to
establish new EBITDA records. Going forward, we will continue to pursue our
short term strategy that focuses on the move to value added products in flat
glass and to build on the strengths of a strong established position, production
flexibility and fast time to market to cater to profitable niche glass container
markets while maintaining our leadership in the Mexican mass market," Mr. Osorio
closed.
All
figures provided in this announcement are in accordance with Mexican Financial
Reporting Standards (MFRS) issued by the Mexican Board for Research and
Development of Financial Reporting Standards (CINIF), except otherwise
indicated. Dollar figures are in nominal US dollars and are obtained by dividing
nominal pesos for each month by the end of month fix exchange rate published by
Banco de Mexico. In the case of the Balance Sheet, US dollar translations are
made at the fix exchange rate as of the end of the period. Certain amounts
may not sum due to rounding. All figures and comparisons are in US dollar terms,
unless otherwise stated, and may differ from the peso amounts due to the
difference between inflation and exchange rates.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL MEASURES
A body of
generally accepted accounting principles is commonly referred to as
"GAAP". A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the SEC as
one that purports to measure historical or future financial performance,
financial position or cash flows but excludes or includes amounts that would not
be so adjusted in the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure. We disclose in
this report certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA. EBITDA
for any period is defined as consolidated net income (loss) excluding (i)
depreciation and amortization, (ii) non-cash items related to pension
liabilities, (iii) total net comprehensive financing cost (which is comprised of
net interest expense, exchange gain or loss, monetary position gain or loss and
other financing costs and derivative transactions), (iv) other expenses, net,
(v) income tax and statutory employee profit sharing, (vi) provision for
employee retirement obligations, (vii) cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle, net of tax and (viii) (income) loss from discontinued
operations.
In managing our
business we rely on EBITDA as a means of assessing our operating performance and
a portion of our management's compensation and employee profit sharing plan is
linked to EBITDA performance. We believe that EBITDA can be useful to
facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other
companies because it excludes the effect of (i) depreciation and amortization,
which represents a non-cash charge to earnings, (ii) certain financing costs,
which are significantly affected by external factors, including interest rates,
foreign currency exchange rates and inflation rates, which have little or no
bearing on our operating performance, (iii) income tax and tax on assets and
statutory employee profit sharing, which is similar to a tax on income and (iv)
other expenses or income not related to the operation of the business.
EBITDA is also a useful basis of comparing our results with those of other
companies because it presents operating results on a basis unaffected by capital
structure and taxes.
We also calculate
EBITDA in connection with covenants related to some of our financings. We
believe that EBITDA enhances the understanding of our financial performance and
our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our
indebtedness as well as to fund capital expenditures and working capital
requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under U.S.
GAAP or Mexican FRS. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternate
measure of net income or operating income, as determined on a consolidated basis
using amounts derived from statements of operations prepared in accordance with
Mexican FRS, as an indicator of operating performance or as cash flows from
operating activity of as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA has material
limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company's overall
profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business
that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses and
income taxes, depreciation, pension plan reserves or capital expenditures and
associated charges. The EBITDA presented herein relates to Mexican FRS,
which we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. This EBITDA
calculation is expressly permitted by the Mexican regulators that establish the
accounting principles generally accepted for use in such financial statements.

Consolidated Financing Result
Consolidated financing result for the quarter increased 49.0 percent YoY
to US$38 million compared with US$25 million during 3Q'06. This was driven by a
non-cash foreign exchange loss of US$12 million compared with a non-cash foreign
exchange gain of US$17 million during 3Q'06. During 3Q'07, the Mexican peso
experienced a 1.2 percent depreciation compared with a 2.5 percent appreciation
in the same period last year. This situation was partially compensated by lower
other financial expenses of US$6 million compared with US$20 million during
3Q'06 as a result of higher value in derivative transactions coupled with a US$4
million reduction in interest expense, reflecting a reduction in interest rate
related with the refinancing done at the beginning of the year.
On a LTM basis, total consolidated financing result decreased 33.5
percent YoY to US$138 million from US$208 million driven by a combination of
favorable factors: a US$34 million decrease in other financial expenses due to
higher value in derivative transactions during this year; a non-cash foreign
exchange gain of US$4 million compared with a non-cash foreign exchange loss of
US$15 million during LTM 2006 driven by a 0.6 percent appreciation experienced
by the Mexican peso in LTM 2007 compared with a 1.9 percent depreciation in the
same period last year; lower interest expense of US$151 million compared with
US$165 million, as a result of lower interest rate; and higher interest income
of US$18 million during LTM 2007 compared with US$14 million during the same
period last year.

Taxes
On a LTM basis, total income tax increased from a gain of US$7
million in 2006 to an expense of US$48 million in 2007. During LTM 2006, the
Company recorded a deferred income tax gain due to the tax loss related to the
sale of Vitrocrisa's shares in June 2006. Accrued income tax, which
includes tax on assets, for LTM ended September 30, 2007, increased by US$1
million when compared with the same period ended September 30, 2006, due to
higher taxable profits mainly in our European operations.

Consolidated Net Loss
During 3Q'07 the
Company recorded a consolidated net loss of US$3 million compared to a net
income of US$8 million during the same period last year. This variation is
mainly the result of a US$12 million increase in financing costs due to a
non-cash foreign exchange loss compared with a non-cash foreign exchange gain in
3Q'06 as well as higher other expenses of US$11 million, mainly derived from an
impairment charge associated with the acquisition of the additional 50 percent
stake in Vitro AFG and losses related to the sale of fixed assets, compared to
other expenses of US$5 million in the same quarter last year. In addition, the
Company recorded lower EBIT of US$53 million compared with US$57 in the third
quarter last year mainly as a result of the natural gas disruptions occurred
during the months of July and September 2007. The above mentioned factors were
partially compensated by lower income tax of US$8 million during the quarter
compared to US$17 million in the third quarter of 2006.
Capital Expenditures
(CapEx)
Capital expenditures for the quarter totaled US$53 million,
compared with US$21 million in 3Q'06. Glass Containers represented 82 percent of
total capex consumption and included investment in the final stage of a major
furnace repair, a new glass containers production line, the transfer of Vidriera
Mexico's ("Vimex") facilities to Toluca, inspection equipment and maintenance.
Flat Glass accounted for 17 percent and was mainly invested in maintenance as
well as in capacity increase and equipment upgrade in Vitro America and
Cristalglass, Vitro's Flat Glass subsidiaries in the US and Spain respectively.
Consolidated Financial Position
Net debt, which is calculated by deducting cash and cash equivalents as
well as restricted cash accounted for in current and other long term assets,
increased QoQ by US$48 million to US$1,209. On a YoY comparison, net debt
increased US$77 million.
As
of 3Q'07, the Company had a cash balance of US$173 million, of which US$135
million was recorded as cash and cash equivalents and US$38 million was
classified as other current assets. The US$38 million is restricted cash, which
is composed of cash collateralizing debt and cash deposited in a trust to repay
debt and interests on the covenant defeasance of the VENA Senior Notes due 2011.
Cash collateralizing debt corresponds to US$4 million recorded at Flat Glass and
the cash deposited in a trust to repay debt and interests corresponds to US$34
million recorded at Glass Containers.
Consolidated gross debt as of September 30, 2007 totaled US$1,382
million, a QoQ increase of US$9 million and a YoY increase of US$173 million. As
of 3Q'07, consolidated short-term debt includes US$30 million associated with
the covenant defeasance of the Senior Notes due 2011 at VENA.
Without the effect of the failure in natural gas supply, total debt to
EBITDA is 3.4 times and total net debt to EBITDA is 3.0 times.

Cash Flow
Cash flow before
capex and dividends increased 16.5 percent to US$46 million from US$40 million
in 3Q'06. The increased cash flow coupled with available cash was used to
fund the US$53 million in capex investments compared with US$21 million in
3Q'06.
On a LTM basis, the
Company generated US$165 million of cash flow before capex and dividends which
represents an 11.5 percent increase when compared with the same period last
year. The main drivers behind the increase were higher EBITDA and significant
lower net interest expense. This cash flow coupled with available cash was
used to fund the US$211 million capex investments, which in part was used to
increase capacity at Glass Containers to satisfy higher demand from our
customers.

Key Developments
Vitro's production facilities started operations after a temporary
interruption due to an external failure of natural gas supply
On
September 17, 2007 the Company announced that the natural gas supply was totally
restored at its five glass containers and two automotive glass production
facilities. Operations at these manufacturing facilities had been temporarily
interrupted for 7 days as a result of a failure in natural gas supply caused by
recent incidents at some of PEMEX gas pipelines in the state of Veracruz. In
order to increase its ability to in the future deal with this kind of events,
the Company is working to finalize the implementation of preventive measures at
its facilities, which should allow the Company to keep operating at normal
levels, in case of a temporary failure of natural gas supply.
Vitro Announces Completion of Its Offer to Exchange
Notes
On
September 7, 2007 the Company announced that it had completed its offer to
exchange up to US$1.0 billion of senior notes. As announced on August 8, 2007,
the exchange offer commenced on August 8, 2007 and expired at 11:59 p.m., New
York City time, on September 6, 2007. 99.3
percent of the US$ 1.0 billion senior notes were exchanged. In addition, on October 3, 2007
both the original notes and the registered exchange notes were listed on the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
Vitro Transaction to Increase Ownership Stake in Vitro AFG to 100
Percent has been approved by the Mexican Federal Antitrust
Authorities
On
August 27, 2007 the Company announced that the transaction to acquire in its
entirety all the capital stock of the Mexican company Vitro AFG, S.A. de C.V.
(Vitro AFG) by Vitro's subsidiary Vimexico, S.A. de C.V. (Vimexico), has been
approved by the Mexican Federal Antitrust Authorities.
As
announced on July 24, 2007, the Company exercised its right to purchase its
partner AFG Industries Inc. 50 percent stake for US$6 million. Vitro AFG owns a
float glass manufacturing facility located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico.
Vitro AFG was a 50/50 joint venture between Vimexico and AFG Industries, a
subsidiary of the Japanese company Asahi Glass Co. Limited. The joint venture
was established to supply the United States and Mexican construction markets
with a wide range of flat glass products, from the traditional 2 mm clear glass
to 12 mm thick glass. The joint venture began operations on November 18, 2003
with a co-investment of approximately US$100 million. With this acquisition,
Vitro has 3 float manufacturing facilities and 23 processing plants previously
owned in Mexico, United States, Colombia, Spain and Portugal.
Vitro AFG is part of Vitro's Flat Glass business unit focused on the
manufacturing, processing and distribution of flat glass for the construction
and automotive industry with annual sales in 2006 of US$1,176 million. Vitro's
Flat Glass business unit is the largest flat glass producer in Mexico and an
important player in Latin America, United States and Europe. Vitro AFG
employs 230 people and manufactures 155,000 tons per year of float glass for the
construction market.
Vitro's two glass containers plants started operations after a
temporary interruption due to a failure of natural gas supply
On
July 15, 2007 the Company announced that its glass container production
facilities located in Queretaro and Guadalajara restarted operations on Friday,
July 13 and Saturday July 14, 2007, respectively. Operations at both plants had
been temporarily interrupted, Guadalajara for 7 days and Queretaro for 4 days,
as a result of a failure in natural gas supply caused by recent incidents at
some of PEMEX gas pipelines. The negative impact on EBITDA was limited to
US$3.7 million. The lower than expected impact reflects the quick response of
our team and of PEMEX staff, Tractebel and LP gas suppliers.
Organizational Changes at Glass Containers
On
July 2, 2007 the Company announced that Alfonso Gomez Palacio, President of the
Glass Containers business unit, retired on June 30, 2007 after an outstanding 23
year career and performance at Vitro. David Gonzalez Morales assumed the
responsibility of President of the Glass Containers business unit as of July
1st. 2007. The Company's management is certain that the experience acquired by
David during his 27 tenure at Vitro will allow him to succeed in his new
responsibility. During this time, David has occupied diverse positions at Vitro.
For the past six months David has served as Glass Containers' Co-President.
Before that, he was President of Vitro Cristalglass' business unit at Flat
Glass. He has also held different positions at the Glass Containers and Diverse
Industries business units, as well as advisory role positions at Vitro's joint
venture companies including Vitro PQ, Vancan, Ampolletas and Regioplast.
Glass Containers
(52 percent of LTM 2007 Consolidated
Sales)
Sales
Sales increased 4.2 percent YoY to
US$339 million from US$326 million and were largely affected by the natural gas
disruptions occurred during the months of July and September 2007.
The main drivers behind the 2.2 percent YoY increase in
domestic sales was an improved price mix in the CFT (Cosmetics, Fragrances &
Toiletries), beer and food segments coupled with higher volumes in the wine
& liquor segment.
Export sales increased 9.8 percent due to an improved price
mix in the food, CFT, soft drinks and wine & liquor segments coupled with
higher volumes in the wine & liquor market.
Sales from Glass Containers' foreign subsidiaries rose 1.7
percent YoY driven by increased demand in Central and South American
markets.
EBIT and
EBITDA
EBIT for
the quarter decreased 12.3 percent YoY to US$40 million from US$46 million in
3Q'06. EBITDA for the same period fell 12.2 percent to US$66 million from US$75
million.
The EBITDA decline was the result of a series of temporary
production interruptions at certain glass containers facilities in Mexico. This
situation was the consequence of the failure in natural gas supply caused by
incidents occurred during the months of July and September at some of PEMEX gas
pipelines.
Without the effect of the failure in natural gas supply,
EBITDA rose 3.2 percent for the quarter to US$77 million and was up 5.2 percent
for the 9M'07 to US$214 million.
EBITDA from Mexican glass containers operations, which is
VENA's core business and represents approximately 82 percent of total EBITDA,
decreased 10 percent YoY due to the above mentioned factors.

Flat Glass
(47 percent of LTM 2007 Consolidated Sales)
Sales
Flat Glass sales for
the quarter increased 11.1 percent YoY to US$318 million from US$286 million.
Domestic sales
increased 6.0 percent YoY, as result of higher sales to the automotive segment
mainly due to an increase in volumes. Float glass sales remained relatively
stable YoY as they experienced a 1 percent increase due to a better price mix
which was partially offset by a 12 percent decline in volumes.
Export sales
increased 26.1 percent YoY mainly due to higher volumes in the
construction-related and automotive business lines.
Automotive sales grew
13.8 percent YoY driven by higher sales both in the Auto Glass Replacement
("AGR") and in the Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") markets. AGR sales
increased mainly as a result of higher export volumes coupled with a better
product mix in the domestic market while OEM sales increased as a result of
higher volumes, reflecting our strategy to increase sales of value added
products and diversify our client base by focusing on Japanese manufacturers,
with strong sales volume for the Nissan Sentra platform.
Sales from foreign
subsidiaries rose 9.2 percent YoY to US$175 million from US$160 million and
maintained their upward trend. Sales at Vitro Cristalglass, the Spanish
subsidiary, increased 32 percent YoY due to an improved product mix which is the
result of the stronger demand of more value added products from the construction
market. Sales at Vitro Colombia increased 39 percent compared with the same
quarter last year due to higher volumes linked to the strong demand from the
Venezuelan and Ecuadorian markets.
EBIT &
EBITDA
EBIT increased 47.7 percent YoY to US$19 million from US$13
million, while EBITDA increased 6.1 percent to US$31 million from US$29 million.
During the same period, EBIT margins grew 140 basis points while EBITDA margins
decreased 50 basis points.
On a YoY comparison, the solid performance from Vitro
Cristalglass coupled with a better product mix in the domestic float glass
business line had a positive impact on the EBIT and EBITDA generation and more
than compensated higher raw materials and freight costs as well as the
approximately US$0.4 million effect of the natural gas disruption during
September at two automotive glass production facilities. In addition,
enhanced fixed-cost absorption due to improved capacity utilization at Vitro
Colombia also contributed to increase the EBITDA of this Business Unit.
