As of 2Q'07, the restricted cash corresponds to US$35 million deposited in a trust to repay debt. Federico Sada, Chief Executive Officer, commented "Results continue to reflect solid performance. On a comparable basis, we recorded the highest consolidated EBITDA for a second quarter since 2Q'01. And this was achieved despite a 12 percent year-over-year increase in natural gas prices." Enrique Osorio, Chief Financial Officer, said "This quarter we refurbished two furnaces at Glass Containers, which reduced fixed cost absorption as the business did not operate at nearly 100 percent capacity as was the case in 2Q'06. This resulted in a 10.8 percent decline in EBITDA at Glass Containers. At the same time, taking advantage of those repairs we increased capacity by 6 percent at Glass Containers as planned." "At Flat Glass, EBITDA this quarter was up 41.8 percent year-over-year, the second consecutive quarter of EBITDA growth and on a comparable basis, the highest EBITDA since 4Q'04. As anticipated, we more than compensated for slower sales at the OEM auto markets with increased sales to the construction and automotive replacement markets." Commenting on Vitro's balance sheet, Mr. Osorio said, "Net debt for the quarter rose 1 percent year-over-year, or US$12 million, to US$1,161 million. Keep in mind that this includes approximately US$55 million in refinancing fees and tender offer costs related to the debt refinancing completed in 1Q'07, as well as the impact of higher year-over-year capital expenditures as announced last quarter. As a result, net debt to EBITDA was 2.9x this quarter, compared with 2.7x in 1Q'07. The average cost of debt, however, declined 140 basis points to 9.5 percent, from 10.9 percent in 2Q'06." "Looking ahead into 3Q'07, we limited to US$3.7 million the negative impact on EBITDA from the temporary interruption in operations at two of our Glass Containers facilities due to an interruption of natural gas supply. The lower than expected impact reflects the quick response of our team and of PEMEX staff, Tractebel and LNG suppliers. We are now focused on generating increased efficiencies and capacity utilization to offset this negative impact before the end of the quarter," noted Mr. Osorio.

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), (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. Vitro, S.A.B. de C.V.

This was driven by a non-cash foreign exchange gain of US$19 million compared with a non-cash foreign exchange loss of US$27 million during 2Q'06. During 2Q'07, the Mexican peso experienced a 2.2 percent appreciation compared with a 3.5 percent depreciation in the same period last year. In addition, higher interest income and a reduction in interest expense also contributed to lower the total consolidated financing result. The above mentioned factors more than compensated higher other financial expenses of US$30 million compared with US$17 million in 2Q'06 as result of a lower value in derivative transactions. On a LTM basis, total consolidated financing result decreased 43.1 percent YoY to US$125 million from US$220 million mainly due to non-cash foreign exchange gain of US$33 million compared to a non-cash foreign exchange loss of US$38 million during last year. On a LTM basis, the Mexican peso experienced a 4.2 percent appreciation compared with 4.6 percent depreciation in the same period last year. In addition, lower interest expense of US$155 million compared with US$163 million during LTM 2006, higher interest income of US$18 million compared with US$11 million, a US$7 million decrease in Other Financial Expenses due to a higher value in derivate transactions during LTM 2007 and a higher monetary position of US$40 million compared with US$37 million during LTM 2006 also contributed to lower the total consolidated financing result.

During 2Q'06 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, was reduced from US$8 million during 2Q'06 to US$3 million in 2Q'07 mainly due to the recovery of net operating losses from previous years.

This variation is the result of a US$41 million increase in income taxes during 2Q'07 coupled with a US$40 million income from discontinued operations associated with the sale of Vitrocrisa's shares during 2Q'06. Lower total financing costs of US$39 million compared with US$79 million in 2Q'06 coupled with a US$6 million increase in EBIT and a US$8 million decline in other expenses partially compensated the above mentioned factors. Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) Capital expenditures for the quarter totaled US$66 million, compared with US$28 million in 2Q'06. Glass Containers represented 90 percent of total capex consumption and included investment in major furnace repairs, the transfer of Vidriera Mexico's ("Vimex") facilities to Toluca and maintenance. Flat Glass accounted for 9 percent and was mainly invested in maintenance and to a lesser extent in capacity increase in Vitro America, Vitro's Flat Glass subsidiary in the US. 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$75 million to US$1,161. On a YoY comparison, net debt increased US$12 million. As of 2Q'07, the Company had a cash balance of US$212 million, of which US$177 million was recorded as cash and cash equivalents and US$35 million was classified as other long term assets. The US$35 million is restricted cash, which corresponds to cash deposited in a trust to repay debt and interests on the covenant defeasance of the VENA Senior Notes due 2011, recorded at Glass Containers. Consolidated gross debt as of June 30, 2007 totaled US$1,373 million, a QoQ decrease of US$93 million and a YoY increase of US$76 million. As of 2Q'07, consolidated long-term debt includes US$30 million associated with the covenant defeasance of the Senior Notes due 2011 at VENA.

The required cash is recorded as restricted cash. On July 23, 2008 the restricted cash will be freed from the trust and will be used to pay down the outstanding balance. (2) Cash & Cash Equivalents include restricted cash which corresponded to cash collateralizing long term debt and derivative instruments accounted for in current and other long term assets. As of 2Q'07, the restricted cash corresponds to US$35 million deposited in a trust to repay debt and interests (see note 1). -- The Company's average life of debt as of 2Q'07 was 7.4 years compared with 3.4 years for 2Q'06. -- Short term debt as of June 30, 2007, decreased by US$535 million to 3 percent as a percentage of total debt, compared with 45 percent in 2Q'06. -- Revolving and other short-term debt, including trade-related debt, accounted for 88 percent of total short-term debt. This type of debt is usually renewed within 28 to 180 days. -- Current maturities of long-term debt, including current maturities of market debt, decreased by US$412 million to US$5 million from US$417 million as of June 30, 2006. -- As of June 30, 2007 Vitro had an aggregate of US$135 million in off- balance sheet financing related to sales of receivables and receivable securitization programs. Flat Glass recorded US$74 million and Glass Containers recorded US$61 million. -- Maturities for 2007 only include Credit Facilities at the subsidiary level. -- Maturities from 2008 and thereafter include, among others, long-term "Certificados Bursatiles", the covenant defeasance of the VENA Senior Notes due 2011 to be paid in 2008, the Senior Notes due in 2012, Senior Notes due in 2013 and Senior Notes due in 2017 at the Holding Company level. Cash Flow Net free cash flow for the quarter decreased to negative US$55 million compared to US$22 million in 2Q'06. This situation was mainly the result of higher working capital and capex needs. The above mentioned factors were partially compensated by lower cash taxes paid by our foreign subsidiaries and higher EBITDA during the second quarter of 2007. Net interest expense in 2Q'07 includes accrued interest expense related to the US$1 billion senior notes paid in advance in connection with the interest rate swap transaction. On a LTM basis, the Company recorded a free cash flow of negative US$37 million compared with US$51 million in LTM 2006. This result was mainly caused by higher capex requirements and increased working capital needs. Higher EBITDA helped to partially compensate the above mentioned factors.

(Vimexico) closed the transaction to increase its ownership stake to 100 percent in the Mexican joint venture Vitro AFG. As announced on July 3, 2007, Vimexico has exercised its right to purchase its partner, AFG Industries Inc.'s 50% stake for US$6 million, per the terms of the joint venture agreement. 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 operates a float glass manufacturing facility located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. It 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 dollars. This transaction was previously notified to the Mexican antitrust Commission for its approval, which is expected to be obtained before the end of August, 2007. 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 as a result of a failure in natural gas supply caused by recent incidents at some of PEMEX gas pipelines. The Company also announced that it was confident that within the next few weeks it will be able to recover production volumes to satisfy its customers' requirements. 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 LNG 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. Vitrocar opens its new Operations Center: The beginning of a growth trend On June 22, 2007 the Company announced that in order to strengthen its position in the Mexican marketplace in automotive replacement glass and aggressively consolidate its business relationships with the Mexican insurance industry as well as its broad base of individual customers, Vitrocar inaugurated its new Operations Center located in Santa Catarina, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. With the opening of this Operations Center, along with the startup of branch #175 in the chain, located at one side of the building, Vitrocar, Vimexico's subsidiary, launches a series of initiatives that imply important changes in the way it conducts business for the benefit of its customers and institutional clients. Vitrocar, as the largest national glass installation chain, represents for Vitro's automotive business line the best option to participate in the glass replacement market by reaching the end user. Currently it has 9 distribution centers and 175 installation centers throughout the country, maintaining its leadership with a market share of more than 50 percent. Its expansion plan in the replacement glass installation channel considers a 2 digit annual growth until year 2010. Five Vitro's Glass Containers Awarded in the US On May 21, 2007 the Company announced that the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) awarded Vitro Packaging, Vitro's US-based subsidiary with five out of eleven winning glass containers during its Clear Choice Awards annual Presentation and Reception at the McCormick Place Convention Complex in Chicago on May 7, 2007. Vitro's five winning products were: Sonoma Vineyards Chardonnay and Merlot by Rodney Strong in the Wine Category; Mountain Valley Spring Water by Mountain Valley Spring Company in the Non-Carbonated Beverages Category; Crown Royal XR by DIAGEO in the Distilled Spirits Category; Frutzzo Organic Pomegranate Juice by Frutzzo, LLC in the Organic Beverage Category; and OS Signature by Procter & Gamble in the Cosmetic & Fragrance Products Category. The mentioned trade marks are property of their respective owners. The Clear Choice Awards is the only awards program that recognizes consumer product goods (CPG) companies that package their food, wine, beverage, cosmetic and fragrance products in glass in the United States. Vitro Honored by General Motors as a 2006 Supplier of the Year On April 11, 2007 the Company announced it was presented the General Motors 2006 Supplier of the Year award for its overall business performance in providing GM with world-class parts and services. The GM Supplier of the Year award began as a global program in 1992. Winners are selected by a global team of executives from purchasing, engineering, manufacturing and logistics who base their decisions on supplier performance in quality, service, technology and price. This year, General Motors honored 89 suppliers for their outstanding performance throughout 2006. Glass Containers (52 percent of LTM 2007 Consolidated Sales) Sales Sales increased 6.8 percent YoY to US$328 million from US$307 million. On a comparable basis, excluding VIPASA, which was acquired in April 2006, sales increased 6.6 percent YoY. The main drivers behind the 6.2 percent YoY increase in domestic sales were higher volumes in the food, wine & liquor and CFT (Cosmetics, Fragrances & Toiletries) segments coupled with an improved price mix in the soft drinks, beer and food segments. Export sales remained stable as the upward trend in sales at the CFT and wine & liquor business lines driven by better product mix partially compensated for a slight drop in other segments. Sales from Glass Containers' foreign subsidiaries rose 29.4 percent YoY as consequence of the acquisition of VIPASA and the increased demand in the Central and South American markets. EBIT and EBITDA EBIT for the quarter decreased 8.1 percent YoY to US$42 million from US$46 million in 2Q'06. EBITDA for the same period fell 10.8 percent to US$68 million from US$77 million. During the quarter, on a comparable basis, excluding VIPASA, Glass Containers EBIT decreased 7.6 percent YoY and EBITDA decreased 10.6 percent. The EBITDA decline was mainly the result of two major furnace repairs and the reignition of a furnace performed by the Company during the quarter in comparison with the utilization of all furnaces during the same period last year. Additionally, higher maintenance costs associated with the ancillary equipment and production lines related to the above mentioned furnaces as well as higher raw materials and energy costs negatively affected EBITDA. EBITDA from Mexican glass containers operations, which is VENA's core business and represents approximately 81 percent of total EBITDA, decreased 7.0 percent YoY due to the above mentioned factors.

Domestic sales increased 8.7 percent YoY, as result of higher sales due to an improved price mix in the automotive segment. Construction-related sales remained stable YoY with an 11 percent volume decline while prices increased 12 percent. Export sales increased 8.8 percent YoY mainly due to higher construction- related volumes and increased automotive sales as a result of an improved price mix. Automotive sales grew 8.7 percent YoY driven by a 30 percent sales increase in the Auto Glass Replacement ("AGR") as a result of higher domestic and export volumes. This factor more than compensated the sales decline in the Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM") business line. Sales from foreign subsidiaries continued an upward trend, increasing 0.4 percent YoY to US$165 million from US$164 million. Sales at Vitro Cristalglass, the Spanish subsidiary, increased 28 percent YoY due to the stronger demand of more value added products (improved product mix) from the construction market but also due to the new furnace now operating in La Rozada facility during the first quarter of the present year. Sales at Vitro Colombia increased 28 percent compared with the same quarter last year due to a better price mix and higher volumes linked to the strong demand from the Venezuelan and Ecuadorian markets. EBIT & EBITDA EBIT increased 150.5 percent YoY to US$16 million from US$6 million, while EBITDA increased 41.8 percent to US$29 million from US$21 million. During the same period, EBIT and EBITDA margins grew 3.2 and 2.6 percentage points respectively. On a YoY comparison, enhanced fixed-cost absorption due to the repair of the VF-1 furnace in 2Q'06 and better production efficiencies in our float glass production facilities coupled with a better product mix in the domestic Construction business line had a positive impact on the EBIT and EBITDA generation and more than compensated higher raw materials, freight and energy costs. Strong EBITDA generation from Vitro Cristalglass and Vitro Colombia which grew 37 percent and 6 percent YoY, respectively also contributed to increase the EBITDA of this Business Unit.
