CMPC delivered solid financial results in the first quarter of 2013, despite a series of one-off factors and planned maintenance downtime that temporarily lowered pulp volumes. Revenues fell 1% from the previous quarter, while EBITDA rose 3%, thanks to stronger pricing for pulp and an improved performance from our tissue business, on lower expenses as compared to our seasonal increase in the fourth quarter. With our new double-width tissue machine now online at Talagante, maintenance completed at our pulp plants and the end of the port strike in Chile, we are confident that CMPC is poised to deliver further growth as we move through 2013. We have also made important progress at our Guaíba expansion project in Brazil, a pulp plant that will be among the most efficient in the world and help to further lower our cost of production while we gain additional scale. We have reached an agreement with six vendors regarding work that will account for around 70% of our planned budget for the project, and we remain on schedule and on budget. Financially, CMPC has also begun executing on the financing package for Guaíba that was announced in December, with a successful international bond deal and the beginning of the preferential rights period for an US$500 million equity raise. CMPC is committed to financing its growth in a responsible fashion, and will continue to work to efficiently finance this cutting edge project while limiting the Company's leverage.
