Net Debt /

EBITDA

The leverage ratio dropped from 4.2x to 3.6x. It should be highlighted that this ratio had risen lately due to the effects of low pulp prices on EBITDA, the fallout of COVID-19 on fuel volumes and a period of heavy investment. Nonetheless, this situation has been reverted, due to a strong performance of the pulp, wood products and fuel businesses, along with a gradual completion of large investment projects.

SIMPLIFIED OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

HIGHLIGHTS

Empresas Copec announces Investment Plan

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting was held on April 28, in which the company's investment plan for 2021 was announced. This envisages capital expenditures of US$1.88 billion, and the forestry and fuels sectors will account for 65% and 30% of the total resources, respectively.

Sale of Forest Assets

On May 13, 2021, Forestal Arauco S.A., a subsidiary of Arauco, executed a Master Agreement, by means of which it agreed to sell to a third party, 461 forest properties that include a total of 80,489 hectares, of which 61,742 are productive hectares, for a total price of US$385 million plus the corresponding Value Added Tax. The closing of the transaction is subject to compliance with conditions precedent that are customary for this type of transactions, including the authorization by the antitrust authorities. It has been preliminarily estimated that, should closing of the transaction occur, it will generate an after-tax profit of approximately US$192.5 million.

Agreement for the sale of Gasmar

In May, Abastible signed a contract agreeing to sell its entire 36.25% interest in Gasmar S.A. The share sale price will be determined considering an enterprise value of US$422.5 million for 100% of such company, on a cash-free and debt-free basis, and such amount could alter due to the application of adjustments stipulated in the contract and usual for these kinds of transactions. The closing of this transaction is subject to some suspensive conditions, including the corresponding approval by the antitrust authority, which is expected to occur this year.

To date, it has been preliminarily assessed that this operation will have a positive effect on the income of Abastible of about US$96.8 million before tax. Empresas Copec has a 99.2% shareholding of such subsidiary.

Changes to the Board of Directors

The Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting voted on a new board of directors for the 2021-2024 period. Roberto Angelini, Jorge Andueza, Manuel Bezanilla, Juan Edgardo Goldenberg, Andrés Lehuedé and Francisco León were re-elected. After years of valuable contribution, Andrés Bianchi, Gabriel Bitrán and Arnaldo Gorziglia left the Board of Directors. In their places, Marcela Achurra, Karin Jürgensen and Maurizio Angelini were elected, all of them outstanding professionals in their law, economy and architecture fields, respectively. These changes give shape to a board of directors that is more diverse regarding gender, skills, experience and age.

Mina Justa Project

Mina Justa started up in March 2021. During the last few weeks started accumulating inventory, and the first shipments are expected to be in the second quarter, in a very positive price scenario. It is estimated that over 100 thousand tons will be produced and sold throughout 2021. The total project investment reached approximately US$1.6 billion.

MAPA Project Progress

MAPA Project overall progress as of the end of April 2021 was 83%. Work on the marine outfall was recently completed, as well as on the high voltage transmission line. Hydraulic test of the power boiler was completed, and the construction works continue.

It is estimated that the startup will take place during the fourth quarter of 2021, amid an optimistic pulp price scenario and with collaborators' health and safety being the main priorities.

Capital Contribution to Arauco

In May 2021, Empresas Copec subscribed and paid its part of a capital contribution of US$200 million to Arauco. This amount is in addition to the US$250 million provided in September 2020. The aim of the capital increase is to help finance projects and bolster the company's financial standing.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

1Q21 / 1Q20. The net income attributable to the controller's owners, net of minority interests, was US$229 million in 1Q21, increasing US$222 million YoY. That was mainly because of operating income climbing US$230 million, and less negative non-operating income of US$70 million, partly offset by higher tax of US$61 million.

In the forestry business, Arauco posted an increase in revenues, due to higher pulp prices and volumes in 2021.

The fuels business had an operating income increase, mainly at Copec Chile and Terpel, on account of better margins, partly related to a higher revaluation of inventories and the local currency appreciation effect when consolidating the income in dollars. Mapco had lower operating income from a drop in volume. Abastible posted higher operating income YoY, explained by a better performance of its operations in Chile and Colombia, along the local currency appreciation effect.

The company's gross profit rose 31.7% amounting to US$957 million, which mainly came from Arauco accounting for US$449 million; Copec for US$392 million; Abastible for US$84 million; Igemar for US$21 million; and Sonacol for US$11 million.

Non-operatingincome was less negative than in 2020, because of more favorable exchange rate differences of US$25 million and lower other expenses and financial costs of US$19 million and US$12 million, respectively.

1Q21 / 4Q20. Net income rose US$111 million QoQ, explained by higher operating and non-operating income.

The forestry business had a 4.0% increase in EBITDA, due to higher pulp prices and a better performance of the wood product business.

The fuels business EBITDA increased 42.4% measured in US dollars, explained by an increase of 50.7% and 4.5% at Copec and Abastible, respectively.

Non-operatingincome increased US$26 million, because of a higher share of the earnings of associates and lower other expenses. That was partly offset by a decrease in other income.
