Fibria’s income at R$215 million in 2Q11
São Paulo – In 2Q11, Fibria’s net income reached R$215 million, 66% up the same period in 2010. The 13% dollar depreciation in the period caused the pulp price in reais to retreat 12%, which directly impacted Fibria’s net income, from R$1.6 billion in 2Q10 to R$1.4 billion in 2Q11. The decreased revenue was offset by the Company’s improved financial results, which rose from a R$310 million loss in 2Q10, when the dollar appreciated 1% to R$277 million gains at the end of 2Q11, due to the 4% dollar depreciation in the period. Net income for 1Q11 was directly benefited by the sale of CONPACEL and KSR’s assets. The net income for 2Q11 would have had increased 45% quarter-on-quarter, excluding effect of the sale-generated gains.
