QUARTERLY SUMMARY

Total sales of US$ 225.8 million, 49% more than the reported sales during the first quarter of 2013 and 12% higher than the reported sales for the 4Q13.. Physical sales of 30,775 tons WFE of salmon, 6% higher than the physical sales the same period of the previous year. EBITDA pre fair value adjustment1 of US$ +39.1 million, this is higher than the US$ -21.2 million reported for the same period the previous year and to the US$ +19.2 million reported during the 4Q13. EBITDA margin of +17.3%, which is higher than the -14.0% margin reported for the same period of the previous year and to the +9.5% margin reported for the 4Q13. A US$ +11.1 million profit, higher than the US$ -5.3 million reported for the 1Q13. Ratio of financial leverage of 1.07x, falling from the 1.18x level reported for the 4Q13.

AquaChile reported accumulated sales of US$ 225.8 million on March 31, 2104. This is a 49% increase in comparison within comparison with the same period of 2013 (∆+US$ 74.2 million). This is mainly due to the increase in the valued sale of the Atlantic salmon (∆+US$ 55.3 million) and the Pacific salmon (∆+US$ 15.2 million). At operational level, the EBITDA pre fair value adjustment (this is the pre-value adjustments of the fish biomass at fair value) reached US$ +39.1 million, this is higher than the US$ -21.2 million reported during the first quarter the previous year and higher than the US$ +19.2 million reported during the fourth quarter 2013. This meant that the margin was 17.3% over the company’s consolidated sales. The scenario for the exporting prices during the first quarter 2014 in comparison with the same period the year before, was favorable for all species, making note of the in-

creases seen in the sales price of Atlantic salmon (∆+40%), Sea trout (∆+70%) and Pacific salmon (∆+44%). During the first quarter 2014 the company continued to see a productive improvement and a decrease in the cost of the raw material, which is associated to the growth improvement of the biomass and an improvement in the feed conversion, slowly returning to historical levels. It is important to note that the sanitary and productive improvements seen during this period are due to the decrease of sealice (Caligus) in the environment. This has been achieved due to collaborative actions by the industry to deal with this parasite and this includes the coordination of the bath treatments carried out in wider geographical areas; the coordinated rotation of the drugs that are being used and also to the improvements in applying these treatments.

(hereinafter, EBITDA): Income from ordinary activities minus Cost of Sales (i.e. Gross Earnings pre Fair value), minus Administration Expenses minus Distribution Costs plus Adjustment from Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. All these figures are obtained directly from the Income Statement and the note 16 (PP&E) from the company Financial Statements.

QUARTERLY SUMMARY

The Company’s consolidated sales during the 1Q14 were a total of US$ 225.8 million, which is a 49% increase in comparison to the reported valued sales of the 1Q13. In effect there was an increase in the valued sales of Atlantic salmon (∆+196%) and Pacific salmon (∆+40%) during the first quarter, and a 5% decrease in Sea Trout and a 4% decrease in Tilapia in comparison to the same period the previous year. With regards to the sales price, an increase was observed for the price of Atlantic salmon (∆+40%), Sea Trout (∆+70%), Pacific salmon (∆+44%) and Tilapia (∆+4%) in comparison to the same quarter 2013. The consolidated EBITDA reached US$ +39.1 million during the 1Q14, which is a positive comparison to the US$ -21.2 million reported for the same period 2013 and to the US$ +19.2 million reported for the 4Q13. This increase

is explained by the higher margins seen in all the salmon species due to the rise of the sales price together with the improved costs of Atlantic salmon and Sea Trout. AquaChile reported a US$ +11.1 million profit during the 1Q14, which is a positive comparison to the US$ -5.3 million reported for the same period 2013. This favorable variation in comparison to the previous year is mainly due to the increase of the sales price of the salmon, together with the better costs of Atlantic salmon and Sea Trout. The company’s net financial debt was a total of US$ 247.4 million at the close of the 1Q14, reflecting a US$ 29.2 million drop in comparison to the 4Q13. The reason for this drop was the Company’s Cash and Cash equivalent that reached US$ 49.7 million on March 31, 2014, which is higher than the US$ 17.9 million reported on December 31, 2013.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

The Consolidated EBITDA pre Fair Value adjustments2 (*) reached US$ +39.1 million during the first quarter of 2014, which is a positive comparison to the US$ -21.2 million for the same period of the previous year and to the US$ +19.2 million for the fourth quarter 2013. The reasons for this improvement were the observed higher margins in all of the salmon species due to an increase in the sales price together with the improvement of the costs for Atlantic salmon and Sea Trout. With all this, the EBITDA margin (EBITDA over common revenues) reported during the 1Q14 is +17.3% in comparison to the -14.0% reported during the same period 2013. The Company recognizes a US$ -15.6 million loss for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Net effect of valuing the biomass at fair valueâ&#x20AC;? during the first quarter 2014. This amount is less than the US$ +25.5 million profit reported during the 1Q13. The reason for this is mainly: i) recognizing a higher cost due to the effect of valuing at fair value during the 1Q14 at US$ -32.3 million, this amount

is less than the higher cost of US$ +0.7 million reported during the same period of the previous year, mainly due to the positive difference shown between the prices that the biological assets were valued at for Atlantic salmon and Sea Trout, especially Pacific salmon in December 2013 in comparison to December 2012; ii) the reverse net of US$ +2.0 million during the 1Q13 from the provision of lower value of the finished product carried out in December 2012. This provision was not carried out during 2013 so therefore it did not reverse during the 1Q14; iii) inversely, the US$ +15.8 million deterioration test applied in December 2012 to the biomass did not affect the fair value; it was not necessary to apply this test during 2013 and that is why it did not reverse during the 1Q14. The aforementioned points were partially compensated by a value adjustment of US$ +16.7 million for the biomass being reared, which is higher than the US$ 7 million reported for March 2013 and which is mainly due to higher market prices for Atlantic salmon and Sea Trout, and lower costs capitalized for both species.

2 (*): In order to measure financial performance under the IFRS, AquaChile used the EBIT pre Fair Value adjustments parameters (before adjusting the revalue of the fish biomass at fair value). The fair value adjustments of the fish biomass come from a regulation under the IFRS to value the biomass at a fair value. Changes in the price and composition of the biomass during the period can have an impact on its value. AquaChile reported its EBIT before the fair value adjustments to show the performance of its operations during the period. It is important to emphasize that the fish biomass that is being reared and is now at a commercial weight is valued at fair value in accordance to the IFRS and for the effect, AquaChile considers the market price. The market price is obtained for the sales most recently made by the company for the previous month and/or conservatively the price that was observed in the market that could be applied to future sales. Furthermore, AquaChile considers the most basic product obtained in the processing plants for these estimates, that is to say, the gutted fish with head on HON (Head On) for Atlantic salmon, and gutted fish without head HG (Headed and Gutted) for Sea trout and Pacific salmon or Coho, without taking into consideration the prices of a mix of products that have a higher adder value. It is important to point out that among the fish species that it farms and commercializes the company has Pacific salmon, which is a highly seasonal species. For this reason, it normally stocks the farm sites between the months of November and March of each year and harvests between the months of October and February when the fish reach the optimal commercial weights. However, many times the fish that are being reared reach an average weight that is higher than 2.5 kg WFE at the end of December or the 4th quarter of each year, and in accordance to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies, are classified to be valued at fair value, generating an effect on the results due to the natural growth of the biomass. For weights that are too low to be considered fair value, their accumulated cost is considered at the closing date. However, given certain adverse conditions that might affect the salmon market and/or the sanitary conditions of the fish, the Company carries out an impairment test on its biomass that is being reared projected forward to harvest and whose net accumulated effect is presented in the results.

The Atlantic salmon business increased its revenues 196% during the 1Q14 (∆+ US$ 55.3 million) in comparison to the same period 2013, due to a 111% increase in the sales volume (∆+6.910 tons WFE) and to the 40% in sales prices. The accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj. Presented a US$ +16.8 million profit which is a positive comparison to the US$ -7.1 million reported for the same period 2013. At unit level, the accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj. / Kg WFE reached US$ +1.28 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ -1.15 / Kg WFE the same time the previous year). The explanation for the observed increase in the margins is due to an improved observed productivity in the species starting from the third quarter 2013, the observed decrease in the harvesting costs associated to a higher harvesting volume and a decrease in the processing cost associated to the higher volume of larger fish that were processed.

The Sea Trout business during the 1Q14 had a 5% drop in its revenues (∆- US$ 2.2 million) in comparison to the same period 2013, due to a 44% drop (∆-4.944 tons WFE) in the sales volume, although there was a 70% increase in the sales price. The accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj. presented a US$ +9.2 million profit which is a positive comparison to the US$ -17.0 million reported for the same period 2013. At unit level, the accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj / Kg WFE reached US$ +1.47 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ -1.51 / Kg WFE during the same time the previous year). The explanation for the increase in the observed margins is due to an increase in the price and also a decrease in the costs of the raw material thanks to an improvement in productivity starting from the third quarter 2013.

The Pacific salmon or Coho salmon business saw a 40% increase during the 1Q14 (∆+ US$ 15.2 million) in comparison to the same period 2013, due to a 44% increase in the sales price, which was partly compensated by the 3% decrease in the sales volume (∆- 301 tons WFE). The accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj. presented a US$ 5.9 million earning which is a positive comparison to the US$ -2.8 million reported for the same period 2013. At unit level, the accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj. / Kg WFE reached US$ +0.51 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ -0.24 / Kg WFE during the same time last year). The explanation for the increase in the margins is mainly due to the increase in the sales price which was partly compensated by the increase in the cost of the raw material of this species due to a specific increase in mortality caused by SRS in some of the farm sites during the farming season 2013/2014.

The Tilapia business saw a 4% decrease in its revenues (∆- US$ 0.7 million) during the 1Q14 in comparison to the same period 2013, due to an 8% decrease in the sales volume (∆- 468 tons WFE), which was partly compensated by the 4% increase in the sales price. The accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj. presented a US$ -0.8 million loss which is a negative comparison to the US$ -0.3 million reported for the same period 2013. At unit level the accumulated EBIT Pre FV Adj. / Kg WFE reached US$ -0.15 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ -0.05 / Kg WFE for the same time last year). This lower margin is associated with a lower performance of the production in Costa Rica which presented an increase in the cost of raw material mainly due to the increase in the feed price and also an increase in the conversion factor associated to the rainfall which increases the water turbidity during 2013.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS

Operational Costs saw a total of US$ -178.6 million in the quarter, which is an 8% increase to the 1Q13, which is mainly explained by the improvement of the sales costs of Atlantic salmon and Sea Trout. Also if one compares the operational cost (measured as a percentage over sales) this reached a 79.1% of the revenues, 29.7 percentage points below the percentage reported during the 1Q13 and 7.5 percentage points lower than the percentage reported for the 4Q13.

NET EFFECT OF THE FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT OF THE BIOMASS Fair Value of the biological assets of the year: At the close of each period, the natural growth effect of the fish biomass that is being reared, expressed in the reasonable value of the same (sales prices minus the estimated costs at the point of sale), is recognized according to the assessment done on each farm site and it is based on the existing fish biomass at the close of each month. The details include the total number of fish that are being reared, their estimated average weight and the cost of the fish biomass. In its calculation, the estimated cost is done by estimating the average weight that the biomass are currently at, multiplied by the value per kilogram of the market price. The market price is obtained by the international index prices or else by the most recent sale carried out close to the closing of the financial statements. The resulting higher or lower value is reported in the Income Statement, under the concept “Fair Value for the Biological assets of the year”. This concept meant a US$ +16.7 million profit for the 1Q14, which is a negative comparison to the US$ +24.8 million profit reported for the 1Q13, which can be broken down in the following way: i) US$ +16.7 million (US$ +7.0 million during the 1Q13) correspond to the “Value adjustment of the fish biomass that is being reared”, ii) US$ 0 million (US$ +15.8 million during the 1Q13) correspond to the reverse of the deterioration test carried out on the biomass that was in

the water and was projected to be harvested without being susceptible to the fair value adjustment; and finally iii) US$ 0 million (US$ +2.0 million during the 1Q13) correspond to the reverse of the net value provision carried out on the finished products. The higher cost of the harvested and sold part due to the reevaluation is reported in the Income statement under the concept “Fair Value of the harvested and sold biological assets” which reached a US$ -32.3 million loss during the 1Q14 (US$ +0.7 million for the 1Q13). The net value of both revaluing effects are expressed under the line “Net effect of the fair value adjustment to the biomass” and it reached US$ -15.6 million during the 1Q14, this is a lower number than the US$ +25.5 million reported for the 1Q13. (For more details see Note 10 of the Financial Statements: Biological Assets). The Other Operational Costs and Expenses presented a 2% increase in comparison to the same period last year. In fact, the Distribution Costs presented a ∆+3,6% increase, due to an increase in the commercial activity and the sales of the company, while the Administration Expenses did not show any significant changes (∆+0,32%). The non-operational results for the quarter presented a US$ -0.96 million loss, this amount can be positively compared to the US$ -2.1 million loss observed during the same period the previous year, mainly explained by the profit due to the type of exchange rate of the US$ 1.1 million reported for the first quarter 2014, this is higher than the US$ -0.5 million loss reported for the same period the previous year The expenses for the income taxes presented a US$ -3.3 million provision in comparison to the US$ -1.6 million the same period the previous year. The company presented a US$ +11.1 million profit for the 1Q14, which is a positive comparison to the US$ -5.3 million loss reported the same period 2013.

Current Assets presented a 4.3% increase (∆+ US$ 20.6 million) in comparison to the numbers observed during the 4Q13. The explanation for the above is: i) the increase of US$ 31.8 million in the “Cash and Cash Equivalent” account associated to the positive operational cash flow reported during the first quarter of this year due to the observed prices in the market and fewer investment in fixed assets and work capital requirements; ii) a US$ 8.4 million increase in the “Trade Debtors and other receivable, checking accounts” associated to the higher level of sales in the Salmon and Sea trout segments. This was partly compensated by the US$ 20.7 million decrease in the “Current and non-

current biological asset” account mainly associated to the reverse of the fair value of the fish biomass in the water due to the harvesting that was carried out during the first quarter 2014 and valued on December 31, 2013. Non-current assets presented a 3.1% decrease (∆- US$ 13.0 million) in comparison to the numbers observed for the 4Q13. This is mainly explained by: i) a US$ 3.8 million decrease in the “Properties, plants and equipment”; ii) a US$ 5.7 million decrease in the “Non-current biological assets”; and iii) a US$ 3.4 million decrease in the “Assets for deferred taxes”.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

Current Liabilities presented a 1.2% decrease (∆- US$ 2.7 million) in comparison to the numbers observed for the 4Q13. This is explained by: i) a US$ 3.3 million decrease in the “Trade accounts receivable and other receivable accounts”; and ii) a US$ 1.9 million decrease in the “Other non-financial current liabilities” account. The previous is partly compensated by a US$ 2.7 million increase in the “Other financial current liabilities” associated to an increase in the accrued interests and those not paid during the period, and a new credit line contracted by the affiliate Grupo ACl dedicated to producing tilapia in Costa Rica.

Non-current liability presented a 0.2% decrease (∆- US$ 0.5 million) in comparison to the numbers observed for the 4Q13. This can be explained mainly by the US$ 0.2 million decrease in the “Liabilities for non-current deferred taxes” account. The Total Equity (including the Non-controlling interests) of the company presented a US$ 10.9 million increase in comparison to December 2013, which is mainly explained by the reported US$ +11.1 million profit during the first quarter 2014.

On the other hand, the Net financial Debt of AquaChile reached US$ 247.4 million, showing a US$ 29.2 million decrease in comparison to the close of the 4Q13. The reason for this decrease is the increase in the Company’s Cash and Cash Equivalent which reached US$ 49.7 million on March 31, 2014; this is US$ 17.9 million higher than what was re-

ported on December 31, 2013. This increase is associated with a positive operational cash flow for the period, as a consequence of observed market prices and the lower level of investments in fixed assets and working capital requirements. This latest point is due to lower productive growth in the company, to a more moderate level. 14

FINANCIAL COVENANTS AND PRODUCTIVITY INDICATORS

FINANCIAL COVENANTS The company’s financial liability contracts consider the financial obligations (covenants) calculated by the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Empresas AquaChile S.A. on December 31, 2011 and March 31st, June 30th, September 30th, and December 31st of the following years and it refers to keeping the maximum level of indebtedness (net financial leverage), to a minimum level of coverage of the net financial expenses and net financial debt over the maximum EBITDA.

However, given the low price scenario that the salmon industry presented in 2012 and beginning of 2013, the company agreed with the creditor banks to suspend the measure of these covenants that include the EBITDA in its calculation until June 2014 inclusive.

AquaChile does not have the policy to make public their projections of their results or of the variable that could influence them in a significant way. However, we expect the international exporting prices of Salmon and Sea trout to maintain or continue with their

upwards trajectory, considering that the Chilean industry has moderated the fish stocking, the Norwegian industry is at its limits in production and so the salmon supply in the short and medium term will grow in line with the growth of demand, which continues to show itself to be robust in all of the markets where the company participates. 18

NOTE ON FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements. These may include words like “anticipates”, “estimates”, “expects”, “projects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes” or other comparable expressions. Forward-looking statements do not represent past events, including statements on the beliefs and expectations of the company. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and projections, and therefore cannot be overrated. Forward-looking statements entail certain risks and uncertainties. The company notes that a significant number of factors could result in current results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. These factors and uncertainties include in particular those described in the document that the company submitted to the Chilean Securities and Insurance Commission (SVS), section on Risk Factors. Forward-looking statements are related only to the date when they are made and the company assumes no obligation to publicly update any such statements in the presence of new information, future events or otherwise. This document purports to deliver general information on Empresas AquaChile S.A. Under no circumstance does it constitute an exhaustive analysis of the financial, productive, commercial and health situation of the company, and therefore any consideration on the advisability of acquiring or selling securities of the company would require the interested party to conduct an independent analysis. In accordance with applicable standards, Empresas AquaChile S.A. has sent its financial statements and notes to the Securities and Insurance Commission, which are available for consultation and analysis on its webpage at www.svs.cl and also at www.aquachile.com.
