SANTIAGO, Chile, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masisa S.A.
(NYSE:MYS) ("Masisa" or "the Company"), a leading company in the
Latin American forestry and wood products industries, announced its
consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June
30, 2006. HIGHLIGHTS -- Net sales for the second quarter of 2006
increased by 24.1% over the same quarter of 2005, to US$218.2
million, driven by higher prices and volumes. Compared to the first
quarter of this year, sales increased by 2.7%. -- Gross profit as a
percentage of sales fell from 26.6% to 22.1%, compared with the
same quarter of 2005, basically due to rising costs. Compared with
the first quarter of 2006, costs also increased, however, the
operating margin remained flat due to the passing on of higher
costs to sale prices. -- Administrative and selling expenses in the
second quarter of this year were 13.8% of sales, an important
improvement compared to the second quarter of 2005 when this figure
was 15.6% of sales. -- Operating income declined by 5.8% with
respect to the second quarter of 2005, to US$18.1 million, due to a
smaller sales margin, which was offset by greater cost
efficiencies. Compared to the first quarter of 2006, operating
income also fell by 5.8% mainly due to higher selling and
administrative expenses. -- Net income for the second quarter of
2006 was US$ 4.1 million, representing a decline of 42.7% compared
to the same quarter of 2005, and an increase of approximately 250%
with respect to the first quarter of 2006. (in millions of US$,
