QUARTERLY SUMMARY
EBITDA pre fair value adjustment1 of US$ +21.8 million during the 4Q14, which is higher than the US$ +19.2 million reported for the same period the previous year. Revenues of US$ 223.6 million during the 4Q14, which is more than the US$ 202.4 million reported during the same period the previous year. Ratio of financial leverage of 1.09x for the 4Q14 in comparison to the 1.17x level reported for the same period the previous year.
AquaChile reported accumulated sales of US$ 779.1 million on December 31, 2014. This is a 6% increase in comparison to the same period in 2013 (∆+US$ 41 million). At operating level the EBITDA pre fair value adjustment accumulated for December 2014 (this is before the value adjustment of the fish biomass at fair value) achieved US$ 78.4 million, which is higher than the US$ -15.5 million reported during the same period the previous year. This meant the company obtained a 10.1% margin over its consolidated sales.
The exporting price scenario for 2014 in comparison to the same period the previous year was favorable for all of species, noticeably the observed increase in the sales price for Sea trout (∆+26%), Pacific salmon (∆+25%), Tilapia (∆+7%) and Atlantic salmon (∆+4%). The company has faced lower mortality rates and the average harvesting weight has increased in comparison to the same period of the previous year, due to sanitary and productive improvements observed in the industry during this period, as also the production and prevention strategy that the company adopted.
The company’s earnings for 2014 were US$ +1.4 million, this is higher than the US$ -9.5 million reported during the same period the previous year.
EBITDA Pre FV Adj. (henceforth EBITDA): The income of ordinary activities minus the sales Cost (that means, the Gross Profit pre Fair Value), minus the Administration Expenses, minus the distribution Costs, plus the Adjustment on the depreciation and amortization expenses. All of these numbers have been directly taken from the Income Statement and from Note 16 (Plants, Properties and Equipment) and from the Company’s Financial Statements.

The Company’s consolidated sales were a total of US$ 223.6 million during the 4Q14, an 11% increase in the valued sales reported for the 4Q13. It is true that during the fourth quarter there was an increase in the physical sales of Atlantic salmon (∆+29%) and the Pacific salmon (∆+20%) in comparison to the same period the previous year. This was partially compensated by the decrease in the physical sales of the Sea trout (∆-3%), and Tilapia (∆-20%). The consolidated EBITDA reached US$ +21.8 million during the 4Q14, which can be compared positively to the US$ +19.2 million reported for the same period 2013. This increase is mainly due to an increase in the sales volume and to the higher margins of the Pacific salmon, which can be mainly explained by the decrease in the costs of the raw material for that species. An increase in the Tilapia margin was also observed associated mainly to the increase in the sales price. AquaChile reported a US$ -2.6 million loss during the 4Q14, in comparison to the US$ +25.7 profit reported du-
ring the same period the previous year. The main explanation for this negative variation is due to the decrease in the market price for the Atlantic salmon and Sea Trout which means recognizing a lower fair value for the Atlantic salmon biomass which also meant recognizing a lower net value of the inventory of the finished product, not only for the Sea Trout but also for the Atlantic salmon. Furthermore, the results of this period were affected due to recognizing US$ -5.0 million due to the loss of the assets in the Hueñocoihue processing plant, which was caused by a fire on November 2, 2014. The Company’s net financial debt totaled US$ 257.0 million for the 4Q14, showing a US$ 19.5 million decrease in comparison to the close of the 4Q13. This decrease is due to the increase in the company’s “Cash and Cash Equivalent" account which reached US$ 19.5 million for the 4Q14 (US$ 17.9 million for the 4Q13) as well as the payment of the second and third quota of the syndicated loan of US$ 18.75 million paid in June and December 2014.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
The consolidated EBITDA pre Fair Value adjustments3 (*) reached US$ +21.8 million during the 4Q14, which is a positive comparison with the US$ +19.2 million of the same period the previous year, and also in comparison to the US$ +2.5 million reported during the 3Q14. The reason for this observed improvement is the increase in sales volume and the improved sales margins of the Pacific salmon, mainly explained by the decrease in the costs of the raw material for this species. Also an improved margin for the Tilapia was observed mainly associated to the increase in the sales price. That is why the EBITDA margin (EBITDA over the revenues) reported during the 4Q14 is +9.7%, in comparison with the +9.5% reported during the same period 2013, and a +1.6% reported during the 3Q14.
The company recognizes a US$ -5.9 million loss during the fourth quarter 2014 for the “Net Effect of valuing the biomass at fair value�, which is less than the US$ +24.7 million profit reported during the 4Q13. The reasons for this are mainly: i) recognizing a value adjustment during the period of the fish being raised for US$ +0.4 million, this is less than the US$ +34.0 million profit recognized during the 4Q13, mainly associated to the drop in the market price for the Atlantic salmon, implicating a recognition of a lower fair value of the biomass of this species; ii) making a provision for the lower net value of the finished product of US$ -3,5 million which is associated to the decrease in the market price for the Atlantic salmon and the Sea Trout.
(*) 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.
3
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, which 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 product that is mainly sold by the company and where there does not exist a niche allowing the company to obtain higher revenues. The company uses the fillet Trim D of Atlantic salmon and the HG (Headed and Gutted) for sea trout and Pacific salmon. It is important to point out that among the fish species that it farms and sells, 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 company’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 the fish that have a lower weight than what is established for applying the fair value, the accumulated cost is considered at the end of the year. Furthermore, the company carries out a deterioration test on the biomass that are in the water that are to be harvested when there are adverse situations that could occur that might affect the salmon market and/or the health condition of the fish which the accumulated net effect would be reflected in the results.

ATLANTIC SALMON
AVERAGE PRICE EBIT EBIT / KG WFE
The Atlantic Salmon business had a 14% increase (∆+US$ 12.0 million) in its revenues during the 4Q14 in comparison to the same period 2013, due to a 29% increase in the sales volume (∆+4,232 WFE tons), which was slightly compensated by the 12% decrease in the sales price. On its part the EBIT Pre FV Adj. showed a US$ +3.9 million profit in comparison with the US$ +8.1 million reported during the same period 2013. At unit level, the EBIT Pre FV Adj. / Kg WFE reached US$ +0.21 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ +0.56 / Kg WFE for the same time the previous year and to the US$ -0.42 / Kg WFE for the 3Q14). The smaller margin reported for the 4Q14 in comparison to the 4Q13 is explained by the decrease in the sales price, which could not be compensated by the decrease in the sales cost. On the other hand, the margin increase in comparison to the 3Q14 corresponds to the decrease in the sales cost that is associated to finishing off the harvests from neighborhood 21B, which was partially compensated by the decrease in the sales price.
SEA TROUT SALES VOLUME SALES
The Sea trout business saw a 12% (∆-US$ 4.2 million) decrease during the 4Q14 in comparison to the same period 2013, due to a 3% decrease (∆-173 WFE tons) in the sales volume and a 10% decrease in the sales price. As for the EBIT Pre FV Adj., it presented a US$ +0.8 million profit in comparison with the US$ 1.1 million reported for the same period 2013. At unit level, the EBIT Pre FV 26% Adj. / Kg WFE reached US$ +0.14 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ +0.19 / Kg WFE the same time last year and to the US$ +0.34 / Kg WFE during the 3Q14). The observed decrease in margins is due to a decrease in the sales price which could not be compensated by the decrease - of the sales cost.

The Pacific salmon or Coho business saw a 22% increase (∆+US$ 8.3 million) in its revenues during the 4Q14 in comparison with the same period 2013, due to a 20% increase in the sales volume (∆+ 1,649 WFE tons), and a 1% increase in the sales price. For its part, the EBIT Pre FV Adj. demonstrated a US$ +10.7 million profit, which is a positive comparison to the US$ +5.6 million reported for 25% the same period 2013. At unit level, the EBIT Pre FV Adj. / Kg WFE reached US$ +1.07 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ +0.68 / Kg WFE the 143% same period the previous year). The main explanation for the improved margin was the reduced cost of the raw material of the fish that were 256% harvested in 2014/2015 purchased with the cost of the fish of the previous season. -32%
-15%
TILAPIA
The Tilapia business saw a 13% (∆-US$ 1.6 million) decrease in its revenues during the 4Q14 in comparison to the same period 2013, due to a 20% decrease (∆-927 tons WFE) in the sales volume, even though there was a 9% increase in the sales price. The EBIT Pre FV Adj. showed a US$ -1.7 million loss which is a positive comparison to the US$ -2.8 million reported during the 7% same period 2013. At unit level the EBIT Pre FV Adj. / Kg WFE reached US$ -0.46 / Kg WFE (in comparison to the US$ -0.61 / Kg WFE the same 43% time the previous year). An improvement in the margins is mainly explained by the increase in the sales price and a decrease in the sales cost. 27% However, it is necessary to state that the negative margin reported during the quarter is associated to an increase in the processing costs and the raw material in Costa Rica, which is mainly due to lower harvesting weights that were achieved during the quarter.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
The Operational Costs saw a total of US$ -192.5 million in the quarter, 10% more than what was achieved for the 4Q13, the reason for this being the sales volume increase during the quarter. Also if the Operating Costs were compared (measured as a percentage over the sales) this reached 86% in the revenues; 0.1 percentage points under the reported percentage for the 4Q13 and 7.1 percentage points under the reported percentage during the 3Q14.
NET EFFECT OF THE FAIR VALUE ADJUSTMENT OF THE BIOMASS Fair Value of the year’s biological assets: The natural growth effect of the fish biomass being reared expressed by its reasonable value at the close of each period (ie. the sales prices minus the estimated costs at the point of sale), is recognized in accordance to the assessment done at each farm site and is based on the existing fish biomass at the close of each month. The details include the total number of fish being reared, their estimated average weight and the cost of the fish biomass. The value is estimated in the calculation according to the average weight the biomass has, multiplied by the value per kilogram seen at market price. The market price is obtained from the international price index or if not from the most recent sales made by the company. The higher or lower resulting value is reported in the Income Statement, under the concept “Fair Value of the biological assets of the year”. This concept meant having a US$ +0.4 million profit during the 4Q14, in comparison to the US$ +34.0 million profit reported for the 4Q13. The higher cost of the harvested and sold product taken from this revaluing is reported in the Income Statement under the concept “Fair Value of the harvested and sold biological assets” which reached a US$ -6.2 million loss for the 4Q14 (US$ -9.3 million for the 4Q13) which can be broken down in the following manner:
i) US$ -2.7 million (US$ -9.3 million reported for the 4Q13) corresponds to the higher cost for fair value of the harvested and sold biological assets; and ii) US$ -3.5 million (US$ 0 million for the 4Q13) correspond to the provision of the net disposal value of the finished products in the year. The net value of both revaluation effects are expressed in the line of “Net effect of the fair value adjustment of the biomass” which reached US$ -5.9 million for the 4Q14. This is lower than the US$ +24.7 million reported for the 4Q13. (To see more details see Note 10 of the Financial Statements: Biological Assets) Other Operating Costs and Expenses showed a 5% increase in comparison with the same period of the previous year, which is associated to a higher level of the Company’s commercializing activities and sales. Non-operating results showed US$ -6.8 million loss for the quarter, in comparison with the US$ -3.9 million loss for the same period the previous year. This can be explained due to the loss of the assets in the Hueñocoihue SpA processing plant due to a fire that occurred on November 2, 2014. Expense for Income Tax presented a US$ -3.6 million provision which is a positive comparison with the US$ -7.0 million the same period the previous year. The company presented a US$ -2.6 million loss for the 4Q14 in comparison to the US$ +25.7 million profit reported for the same period 2013. This negative variation is mainly explained by the decrease in the market price for the Atlantic salmon and for the Sea Trout which meant recognizing a lower value at fair value for the Atlantic salmon biomass and also a provision for the lower value of making an inventory of the finished product, not only for the Sea Trout but also for the Atlantic salmon.

Current Assets presented a 2.3% increase (∆+US$ 10.8 million) in comparison with the observed numbers of the 4Q13. This is mainly explained by: i) a US$ 18.4 million increase in the “Trade and other receivable accounts” mainly associated with an increase in the sales; ii) a US$ 13.3 million increase in the “Current inventory”, mainly associated to the increase of the finished product inventory due to the increase in the harvesting; and iii) a US$ 1.5 million increase in the account “Cash and Cash Equivalent". All of the above was partially compensated by i) a US$ 18.5 million decrease in the “Biological Assets, Current” which is mainly associated with the lower fair value of the biomass being reared reported on December 2014 in comparison to December 2013; and ii) a US$ 4.0 million decrease in the “Accounts Receivable from Related Companies, current”.
Non-current Assets presented a 0.9% decrease (∆-US$ 3.9 million) in comparison with the observed numbers of the 4Q13. This is mainly explained by: i) a US$ 11.8 million decrease in the “Properties, Plants and Equipment” which includes US$ 0.9 million related to the assets that were destroyed in the fire that occurred on April 1, 2014 which affected the cold storage and storehouses of the Cardonal processing plant and US$ 3.4 million related to the assets destroyed in the fire that occurred on November 2, 2014 which completely affected the installations of the Hueñocoihue processing plant; ii) a US$ 1.8 million decrease in the non-current, biological assets; and iii) a US$ 1.7 million decrease in the Goodwill account. All of the above was partially compensated by the US$ 10.7 million increase in the “Assets by Deferred Taxes” due to a tax effect of a higher tax rate of first category associated to a recent tax reform on those that create assets by deferred taxes (mainly accumulated tax loss).
1 Up to December 2013, Biomar Aquacorporation Products, a subsidiary that produces feed for tilapia, in which Grupo ACI has a 50% participation together with Biomar Aquaculture Corporation, was a registered under the following method of participation. As of December 2013, Grupo ACI has modified the shareholders agreement that it holds with Biomar Aquaculture Corporation within Biomar Aquacorporation Products, creating an equal number of Directors. Thus, shareholders on both sides are in an equal position in terms of leading the corporation, generating a joint agreement.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Current Liability showed a 48.3% increase (∆+US$ 107.0 million) in comparison with the observed numbers of the 4Q13. This is explained by: i) a US$ 101.6 million increase in the “Other current financial liabilities” account mainly associated to reclassifying the debt amortization for the next twelve months from the long term to a short term; ii) the US$ 10.0 increase in the “Trade payables and other accounts payable”. Non-current Liability showed a 44.0% decrease (∆US$ 118.1 million) in comparison with the numbers observed for the 4Q13. This is mainly explained by a US$ 119.6 million decrease in “Other Financial Current Liabilities”
associated to the reclassifying of debt amortizations of the subsequent 12 months from long term to short term. Total Equity (including the non-controlling interests) of the company, saw a US$ 17.9 million increase in comparison on December 2013, which is mainly explained by recognizing the US$ +18.5 million corresponding to the difference between the assets and the liabilities of the reported deferred taxes which has a direct effect on increasing the tax rate on the first category once it was approved in the new tax reform; and also because of the accumulated US$ 1.4 million profit reported during the period.

On the other hand, AquaChile’s Net financial debt reached US$ 257.0 million, this is less than the US$ 276.5 million reported on December 31, 2013. The reason for this decrease was the increase in the company’s Cash and Cash Equiva-
lent which reached US$ 19.5 million on December 31, 2014 this is US$ 17.9 million more than what was reported for December 31, 2013; as well as the payment of mandatory amortizations of the syndicated credit of the company.

The behavior of the consolidated Cash Flow main components on December 31, 2014 in comparison to December 31, 2013 is the following: The company presented a total net cash flow of US$ +1.5 million on December 31, 2014. At the same time the previous year there was a US$ +5.0 million cash flow reported. The operating activities on December 31, 2014 generated a US$ +53.7 million cash flow, which is higher than the US$ +24.2 million reported for the same period 2013.
This increase is associated with a favorable scenario of the prices observed in the market and to a minor level of investment in the working capital, explained by a decrease in the growth rate of the company’s production. The investment activity meant an investment of US$ -26.8 million on December 31, 2014. At the same period the previous year the investment was US$ -38.3 million. Financing activities generated a US$ -24.5 million cash flow on December 31, 2014, which is less than the US$ +19.9 million generated for the same period 2013.

March 11, 2014 the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance was informed of the changes in Administration: the company’s Board of Directors who met in an extraordinary meeting were informed of and agreed to accept the voluntary resignation presented by Mr. Alfonso Márquez de la Plata Cortés, who was the General Manager of the company, based on personal reasons. The Board agreed to put on record the profound gratitude from each member of the Board to Mr. Alfonso Márquez de la Plata Cortés for his valuable work carried out for more than 10 years as an executive in the Empresas AquaChile S.A. Due to this resignation the Board of Directors agreed to designate Mr. Torben Petersen as General Manager of the company starting from April 1, 2014. Mr. Torben Petersen has a broad and well-known trajectory and experience in the salmon industry and has been linked at the same time with the company through the Salmones Chaicas S.A. project, an affiliate of the Company. On April 2, 2014 a basic fact was sent to inform regarding the Fire Accident that occurred in the Facilities of the Cardonal Processing Plant, located in Puerto Montt. There are fire insurance and contents and damage coverage for the contracted suspension. On April 24, 2014 there was an Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting where they adopted the following agreements: the Annual Report, Balance, Financial Statements and report of the External Auditors Company, all of these in reference to the year completed on December 31, 2013; the remuneration for the members of the Board of Directors was fixed for 2014; the Board of Directors’ expense account was approved for 2013; the remuneration of the members of the Board Committee was fixed as also the budget for the Directors Committee for 2014; the PricewaterhouseCoopers firm was designated as the external independent auditors for reviewing the accounting, inventory, balance and the financial statements of 2014; and the El Mostrador newspaper was designated for carrying out all of the publications of the company. On September 29, 2014, the Law N° 20.780 was enacted which modifies the Income Tax System and introduces some adjustments to the taxation system. This tax reform increases
the tax load of the companies to 21% in 2014, and could reach up to 27% in 2018. The Superintendency of Securities and Insurance, on their side, instructed the differences between the assets and liabilities through an issued circular N°856 on October 17, 2014, by the concept of Deferred Taxes, which are produced as a direct effect on increasing the First Category tax rate which was introduced by this law, and they should be booked against the equity, that is to say without effecting the results. Consistent to what was mentioned, the net increase of the net assets and liabilities by deferred taxes produced a US$ 18.4 million net effect that the Company recognized as a contribution to this concept in the accumulated Equity results account. On October 8 a basic fact was sent to inform that the Company has signed an agreement with Investment and Technology Limited, a controlling shareholder of Invermar S.A. (“Invermar”), stating that Empresas AquaChile S.A. (“AquaChile”) was purchasing a controlling share in the share ownership of Invermar. To this end, an agreement was proposed to the Creditor Banks for the capitalization terms of Invermar’s financial assets by the best possible means, whereby AquaChile would be able to acquire a controlling share of the company from Invermar’s current creditors; the reprogramming of the balance of this liability which might not have been capitalized; and a capital increase in Invermar of US$ 30 million completely paid and subscribed for by AquaChile, without putting aside the appointed subscription rights. This previously mentioned agreement is subject to compliance with the previous stipulations, consistent with carrying out due diligence to AquaChile’s satisfaction, in subscribing the agreement made with the Creditor Banks of Invermar and AquaChile, and to hold Invermar shareholders’ meetings, enabling the transaction, saving the right to other authorizations and agreements that are necessary to enable the projected transactions. Both parties have agreed to a time limit of November 30, 2014 to agree on the contract terms and other documents taking all the necessary actions with the competent authorities. The market, as well as the Superintendency of Securities and Insurance will be notified as soon as the contracts have been signed to enable the projected transactions. 17
RELEVANT EVENTS
RELEVANT EVENTS On November 3, 2014 an Essential Fact was sent to inform of a fire that took place in the Processing Plant of Hueñocoihue, located in Dalcahue, the Island of Chiloé at 2:00 am on November 2, 2014. The fire spread to different areas of this facility, completely destroying the facilities. The plant is covered by insurance. During the months of April and November this Company has had to face two fire emergencies. Both are covered by insurance who are now in the claim process. The Company has been carrying out studies to implement improvements as soon as possible and to guarantee the security of their facilities. On December 22, 2104, an Essential Fact was sent communicating that the time limit for carrying out the analysis process and the necessary negotiations established in the Agreement has already passed to fulfill with the possible operation where the Empresas AquaChile S.A. acquires a controlling participation in the shareholding of Invermar. Neither party extended the term of Agreement, and for this reason it has been terminated. That is why the Agreement that Empresas AquaChile S.A. would acquire a controlling participation of the shareholding Invermar S.A. is not effective. On January 19, 2015 an Essential Fact was sent communicating that the Company has written a memorandum of understanding (the “CTA”) with a Norwegian company Marine Harvest ASA (“Marine Harvest”) with the idea to go forward in the agreements and necessary procedures to merge with Marine Harvest Chile S.A. (“Marine Harvest”), a Chilean affiliate of Marine Harvest, with Empresas AquaChile S.A. (“AquaChile”). AquaChile would be the surviving entity (henceforth “Operation”), according to the stipulated terms and conditions of the CTA. By virtue of the Operation, Marine Harvest will merge by incorporation in AquaChile, which includes the recently acquired assets of Acuinova. Once this possible merge occurs, the current shareholders of AquaChile will have 57.2% ownership of the combined entity’s shares and Marine Harvest will have 42.8% ownership of the already mentioned entity’s shares. Under the context of this possible merge, Marine Harvest has agreed to continue with the shareholder’s participation in the combined entity until June 15, 2016. Later, starting from June 15, 2016 to June 15, 2017 Marine Harvest will have the option to
acquire a higher percentage of AquaChile’s shares through a public share offer allowing them a 55% minimum ownership of all the AquaChile shares. The price of this public share offer would result in the highest between US$ 0.8856 per share and the market price for the AquaChile shares at the moment of the public share offer. The minimum price of US$ 0.8856 per share represents a premium of approximately 41% in regards to the average weighted number of shares of AquaChile during the last 30 previous days up to that date. For their part, Inversiones Patagonia Limitada, Holding Salmones S.A. and Inversiones Acuícolas S.A., vehicles through which the Puchi and Fischer families currently have 33.03% of AquaChile. Each one of them have agreed to the compromise of selling sufficient shares in the public share offer that would assure Marine Harvest 55% of the combined entity, if this public share offer is launched. Once June 15, 2017 has passed, the respective obligations of upholding the equity participation with Marine Harvest and to sell in the public share offer of Inversiones Patagonia Limitada, Holding Salmones S.A. and Inversiones Acuícolas S.A. will be terminated. Furthermore, Marine Harvest ASA, Inversiones Patagonia Limitada, Holding Salmones S.A. and Inversiones Acuícolas S.A. will write up a definite document stating that up to June 15, 2107, Inversiones Patagonia Limitada, Holding Salmones S.A. and Inversiones Acuícolas S.A. will have the right to vote regarding the amount of shares that Marine Harvest owns that are necessary for choosing the majority of the Board of Directors of the combined entity. In virtue of this disposition, Marine Harvest, Inversiones Patagonia Limitada, Holding Salmones S.A. and Inversiones Acuícolas S.A. will be members of a controlling group with a joint implementation agreement. Furthermore, Mr. Victor Hugo Puchi will remain as President of the combined entity and will also lead the current administration teams during the possible merge process and combined businesses. Not only the respective agreement between AquaChile’s shareholders, but also in accordance to the CTA, the possible merge is subject to the agreement of both parties regarding the definite documentation for the Operation; the approval of the corresponding directors – and as is the case of AquaChile, those of its shareholders; to a mutual due diligence of both Companies; as also the approval of the corresponding authorities. Both parties expect that the Operation will be materialized during the third quarter of 2015.

It is not AquaChile’s policy to make public the projections of their results or the variables that can impact them in an important way. Nevertheless, we are expecting that Salmon and Sea Trout international export prices to remain the same or continue to rise, ta-
king into consideration that the Chilean industry has moderated its fish stocks, the Norwegian industry has reached its production limits and the supply of salmon is expected to grow in the short and medium term in accordance with the growth of demand, which still remains robust in all of the markets where the company sells to.

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.
