Sadia - Release 3T06

3Q06


Sao Paulo, November 7th, 2006- SADIA S.A. (BOVESPA: SDIA4; NYSE: SDA; LATIBEX: XSDI), the Brazilian leader in the processed food, poultry and pork industries, today announces the results for the third quarter of 2006 (3Q06). The Company’s operating and financial information are shown in thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless stated otherwise, and are based on consolidated figures, as required by Brazilian corporate law. All comparisons made in this release are based on the same period in 2005 (3Q05), except where stated otherwise.

 

 

"The results of the third quarter of 2006 indicate the recovery of profitability in the direction of historical parameters of our business. The major highlight of this quarter was the recovery of international demand and the improvement in prices which had been pressured, over the last quarter, by the weak demand caused by the avian influenza. The export prices of poultry and pork are now getting closer to normal market prices and to Sadia´s historical averages. In the domestic market, the highlight was the increase of 11.9% in the sales of processed products in relation to the 3Q05. Believing in our management and certain of a pick-up in demand and prices, we have proceeded with our investment plans and in the first nine months of this year we made investments around R$ 800 million, well above the amount invested in the whole year of 2005. The third quarter of 2006 was marked by the beginning of the construction works of the first Sadia foreign plant in Russia, the operation of which will start by the second half of 2007. It is expected that demand and prices, both in the domestic and in the international market,  will continue to be firm in the 4Q06, when demand usually peaks due to the end of the year celebrations. For our internal plans we have continued our efforts for the rise in productivity in our processes and the continued development and growth of our professionals; we have recently announced changes that reforce and renew our executive team and which will enable the company to meet the new challenges presented by increasingly global markets.” - Gilberto  Tomazoni – CEO.

Sadia´s 3Q06 performance reflects the first signs of recovery in demand and prices in the international market. The company's total consolidated sales volume grew by 5.1% in the 3Q06 in comparison with the 2Q06, from 467.5 thousand tons to 491.2 thousand tons. Using the same basis of comparison, the growth of gross operating revenues was 15.5%, to R$2.1 billion. In relation to the same quarter of 2005, the volume sold had a slight increase of 0.5% and gross operating revenues dropped 4.1%, pressured by the average selling prices.

 

The segment of processed products continues to grow and recorded an increase in volume and revenues, as much in comparison with the 2Q06 as with the 3Q05. In relation to the prior quarter, the sales volume of processed products rose 6.9%, to 205.0 thousand tons. Gross operating revenues of this segment, which amounted to R$970.6 million in the 3Q06, grew 6.2% in relation to the 2Q06 and thus the average price remained practically stable, at R$4.73/kg. In comparison with the 3Q05, physical sales advanced even further, 8.1%, while the sales value of processed products was 3.8% higher. In addition, the share of processed products in total physical sales and in gross operating revenues grew from the 3Q05 to the 3Q06. The share of this segment in the total sales volume rose from 38.8% to 41.7%, and in revenues, from 43.7% to 47.2%.

The volume of poultry sold remained practically stable in comparison with the 2Q06, which had a slight drop of 0.4%, from 238.2 thousand tons in the 2Q06 to 237.2 thousand tons in the 3Q06. The average price per kilogram of poultry had the greatest increase between the 2Q06 and the 3Q06, 24.1% (R$ 3.30/kg) and this resulted in an increase in revenues of 23.6%, to R$ 782.0 million, and in an increase of the participation of this segment in Sadia´s total revenues, from 35.6% to 38.1%. In relation to 3Q05, the sales volume of poultry was 4.6% lower, while gross operating revenues dropped 11.0%.

The pork segment had the best relative performance when compared with the 2Q06 and the weakest in relation to the 3Q05, as to percentage variations. The sales volume of pork amounted to 34.6 thousand tons in the 3Q06 and grew 36.0% in relation to the 2Q06, while gross operating revenues grew 40.0%, from R$ 107.1 million to R$ 150.0 million. The volume sold over the same period in 2005 and the gross operating revenues of this segment dropped 16.7% and 29.0%, respectively. In relation to the 2Q06, the participation of this segment in total physical sales grew from 5.4% to 7.0%. From the 2Q06 to the 3Q06, the participation of pork in total revenues also increased from 6.0% to 7.3%, reflecting the recovery of the average price per kilogram of pork, which increased 3.0%, to R$4.34.

Similarly to the segment of processed products, the beef segment also grew in volume and revenues in both basis of comparison. In the 3Q06, the beef sales volume totaled 14.4 thousand tons, while in sales value amounted to R$ 83.1 million. In relation to 2Q06, sales increased 19.2% in volume and 25.5% in value. Revenue growth was 89.3%, and the volume sold was 63.3%. In comparison with the 3Q05, the beef segment had an increase of 15.9% in the average price per kilogram, to R$5.76.

Domestic Market

In the 3Q06, the volumes sold by Sadia in the domestic market grew 13.5% in relation to the same period of the prior year, to 236.7 thousand tons, and remained stable in comparison with the 2Q06. Nonetheless, in terms of revenue, this growth was firm both in the quarterly and in the annual comparisons, reflecting a recovery of the average prices in all segments in which Sadia operates. Gross operating revenues in the 3Q06 totaled R$ 1.1 billion, representing a growth of 7.1% in relation to the 2Q06 and of 5.6% in relation to the same period of 2005.

 

The segment of processed products, which accounts for almost 80% of the amounts generated by Sadia in the domestic market was the highlight of the physical sales in this market and grew 7.5% in relation to the 2Q06 and 11.9% in relation to the same period in the prior year. The volume of processed products sold totaled 186.2 thousand tons in the 3Q06. The domestic sales of these products also accounted for almost 91% of the total gross operating revenues of this segment. Revenues generated by the sales of processed products in the 3Q06 reached R$879.9 million, 6.4% and 6.2% higher than in the 2Q06 and in the 3Q05, respectively.   

 

The poultry segment reached a sales volume of 37.3 thousand tons in the 3Q06. Poultry sales in the domestic market decreased 26.5% in relation to 2Q06, but revenues from this segment decreased only 3.3%, to R$ 105.4 million. The average price of poultry in the domestic market increased 31.6% in relation to 2Q06, when it dropped 17.0% in comparison with the 1Q06. In relation to the 3Q05, the volume sold grew 20.6% and the revenue of this segment rose 6.6%.

 

The volume of pork sales in the domestic market and revenues from this segment grew in the two basis of comparison. The excess of offer in the domestic market – a consequence of the fall in the shipment of pork– has caused a continued decline in the price of this product. And the growth in the volume sold has sustained the increases in revenues from this segment. In the 3Q06, physical sales of pork totaled 11.1 thousand tons, representing a growth of 17.5% in comparison with the prior quarter and 21.7% in relation to the same period of the prior year. In terms of revenue, the growth was up 8.4% in comparison with the 2Q06 and up 6.3% in comparison with the 3Q05, to R$ 39.2 million.

 

In the 3Q06, the beef segment practically maintained the performance shown in the 2Q06 and 3Q05, 2.2 thousand tons. Nonetheless, the revenue of R$ 8.6 million from this segment is equivalent to a fall of 30.7% in comparison with the 3Q05 and of 1.3% in relation to the prior quarter.

Export Market

With the reduction of inventories in the international markets and the gradual recovery of demand and prices, due to the lessening of the concern over the avian influenza in the world, the first signs of recovery started to appear in the 3Q06. Volumes shipped grew 9.8% in relation to the 2Q06, to 254.5 thousand tons and export revenues rose 26.9% in the same period, totaling R$ 953.2 million. In the 3Q06, Sadia´s exports expanded to a new destination, Egypt, with the announcement in July of its release of chicken imports.

 

Poultry, Sadia's main export product, is again recording an increase both in shipped volume and in revenues. Concerns in relation to the Avian Influenza are diminishing gradually with the worldwide efforts to slow down the spreading of this virus. The 200.0 thousand tons of poultry shipped in the 3Q06 represented a growth of 6.6% in relation to the prior quarter and generated revenues of R$ 676.6 million – up 29.2% from the 2Q06. The participation of poultry exports in the total revenues from this segment grew to 86.5% in the 3Q06, compared with 82.8% in the 2Q06. Out of the total revenues earned by Sadia in the external market, this segment accounted for 71.0% in the 3Q06, the same level of the 3Q05.

 

This quarter was also marked by a gradual pick-up in the exports of pork to Russia. Although Russia kept the restrictions on the imports of Brazilian pork from a number of states the Russian government reopened the market to exports from Rio Grande do Sul and Mato Grosso, states where Sadia has pork slaughter facilities.

From the 2Q06 to the 3Q06, the shipments of these products advanced 46.9% and export revenues grew 56.2%. The exported volume of pork totaled 23.5 thousand tons, generating revenues of R$ 110.8 million. In relation to the same period of the last year, this segment still records a decline in physical sales and revenues.

 

The external sales of processed products totaled 18.8 thousand tons in volume, corresponding to R$ 90.7 million in revenues. This reflects a growth of 1.9% and 4.0% respectively in relation to the second quarter. In terms of revenues, the increase was higher than that of the shipped volumes due to the increasing average selling price both in reais and in strong currency in comparison to the 2Q06. In relation to the 3Q05 the volume was 18.7% lower while revenues were 15.1% lower. These results are explained primarily by the reduction of purchases done by the government of Venezuela.

 

The beef segment, following the Company's strategy of returning to this market as from the 4Q05, had a growth in shipments and in revenues both in the quarterly and in the annual comparisons. The sales volume in the external market totaled 12.2 thousand tons in the 3Q06, representing an increase of 84.8% above the 3Q05 and 24.1% above the 2Q06. The export revenues from this segment, of R$ 74.5 million, more than doubled in relation to 3Q05, being equivalent to a growth of 29.6% in relation to 2Q06. The participation of beef exports in total revenues generated by the external market rose from 2.9% in the 3Q05 to 7.8% in the 3Q06.

Operating Results

Net revenues in the 3Q06 reached R$ 1,794.7 million, 6.0% lower than the same year-ago period. This performance reflects the extraordinary situation caused by sanitary problems such as the avian influenza and the foot-and-mouth disease, and therefore the increase in supply in meat both in the international and in the domestic markets. The lower volume allied to the appreciation of the real in relation to the U.S. dollar caused an adverse effect on the generation of export revenues and was reflected on the decline of its participation in the Company's total revenues, from 51.3% to 46.4% in the 3Q06. The recovery of the demand and prices in the international market, however, resulted in a growth of 16.8% in relation to the net revenues obtained in the 2Q06. Net revenues over the nine months of this year totaled R$ 4,837.5 million, 9.6 % lower than the same period in 2005.

 

 

The costs per ton sold fell 3.5% in relation to the 3Q05 and grew 4.7% in relation to the 2Q06, mostly due to the variation in the price of various raw materials. The difficulty in generating higher level revenues did not permit the dilution of fixed costs and implied a decline of 2.4 percentage points, from 27.6% in the 3Q05 to 25.2% in the 3Q06. Nevertheless, the soaring business in the external market in the 3Q06, as compared with the 2Q06, had a positive effect on the recovery of the margin, from 20.6% to 25.2%, respectively.

Operating expenses – selling, general, administrative and other expenses – in the amount of R$ 365.3 million in the 3Q06 exceeded by 12.5% those of the 3Q05. Operating expenses to net revenues ratio reached 20.4%, a percentage higher than the 17.0% of the 3Q05 – the same level of the 2Q06.

Selling expenses, corresponding to 91.5% of the total expenses, show a growth of 11.9% and 14.7% when comparing the 3Q06 against the 3Q05 and the 2Q06. Pressured by the decline in net revenues, the margin of expenses reached 18.6%, against 15.6% in the 3Q05.

General and administrative expenses in relation to net revenues stabilized at 1.0%.

The Earnings Before Income Tax (EBIT) in the 3Q06 showed a loss of 5.8 percentage points in relation to that reached in the 3Q05. However, in comparison with the performance of the 2Q06, there was a gain of 4.6 percentage points in the margin.

The EBITDA (Earnings Before Income Tax, Depreciation and Amortization) recorded R$ 164.8 million and the EBITDA margin in relation to net revenues, of 9.2%, was lower than the 13.8% in the 3Q05 and higher by 4.8 percentage points than that reached in the 2Q06.

Financial Results

Net financial results were negative by R$ 461 thousand in the 3Q06, when compared with the net financial expenses of R$ 56.5 million in the 2Q06, due mostly to cash generation from the Company's operating hedges, in accordance with its financial policy.

Sadia maintained a conservative financial strategy, privileging investments in low volatility assets and with terms compatible with the maturity of its obligations. The Company also proceeded with funding operations via BNDES, export financing, receivables and rural credit at favorable average interest rates.

At the end of the 3Q06, Sadia net debt amounted to R$ 1,236.3 million, 21.1% higher than that at the end of the 2Q06, due to the maintenance of the investment plan and low cash generation. Net debt to equity ratio ended the third quarter at 53.1%, against 45.2% at June 30, 2006, and should return to pre-established limits approved by the Board of Directors by the end of the fourth quarter.

Equity Pick-up
Negative equity in the earnings of subsidiaries of R$ 3.2 million in the 3Q06, was a reflection of the unfavorable foreign exchange variation on the shareholders equity of subsidiaries abroad.  

Net Income

 

 

Net income reached the amount of R$ 69.1 million in the 3Q06, a decline of 61.1% in relation to the net income of the corresponding period in 2005. With a net margin of 3.9%,  it shows a recovery in relation to the 2Q06, when the Company had a net margin of 1.1%, the worst percentage obtained by the company since 2001. Retained earnings were R$ 153.6 million, 63.7% lower than the same period of the last year. This performance is lower than Management's expectations.

 

 

 

Capital Expenditures          

 

Investments in the 3Q06 totaled R$ 304 million and year to date amounted to R$ 793 million, being consistent with the growth plan. As mentioned the Company maintained its investment program due to its belief in its management and innovation capabilities and the efforts of its employees and the strength of its brands. Sadia also believes that the sanitary crisis is momentary and will not affect the future.

Out of the total amount invested in the quarter, R$ 106.4 million (35.1%) were destined to the segment of processed products; R$ 104.8 million (34.5%) to the poultry market, R$ 39.1 million (12.9%) to the pork market; R$ 2.5 million (0.8%) to the beef market and R$ 50.7 million (16.7%) were directed to other areas, mainly Logistics, Marketing and Sales.
