Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V. reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the quarter, the company reported EBIT of USD 71 million, EBITDA of USD 106 million, net income from continuing operations of USD 29 million and net income attributable to controlling interest of USD 31 million on net sales of USD 427 million compared to EBIT of USD 70 million, EBITDA of USD 105 million, net income from continuing operations of USD 39 million and net income attributable to controlling interest of USD 30 million on net sales of USD 455 million reported a year ago. Total net debt was USD 1,039 million compared to USD 957 million as at September 30, 2012. EBITDA increased 0.6% year on year, reflecting a good performance by the container division, counter weighting a lower result in the flat glass unit. As a continued effort to reduce even further the debt leverage, the company has been able to reduce the net debt by USD 83 million from USD 1,122 million in the previous quarter, supported by a healthy cash flow from operations of USD 100 million. Net sales declined 6.1% year-over-year, primarily reflecting the impact of adverse weather caused by hurricanes Manuel and Ingrid in Mexico during September and lower sales volumes, particularly in the Automotive and Beer segments at Flat Glass and Glass Containers, respectively. The recovery of an insurance claim coupled with lower legal expenses and the ongoing efforts of cost reduction positively impacted EBIT and EBTIDA, more than offsetting the negative effect of price erosion in some segments, rising natural gas prices and lower capacity utilization in its OEM business. Net free cash flow was USD 78 million compared to net free cash flow of USD 50 million reported a year ago, reflecting year-over-year reductions of USD 19 million in net interest paid and USD 9 million in working capital. Capex totaled USD 21 million compared to USD 18 million reported a year ago. Glass Containers represented 85% of total CapEx, which was mainly invested in manufacturing of molds used in production of glass containers, improvements and maintenance in various facilities. Flat Glass accounted for the remaining 15%, utilized for maintenance throughout its facilities, investments in racks and tooling for the auto glass segment and improvements in automotive and value-added products facilities as well.
