CCU’s first quarter 2016 results showed an EBITDA growth of 7.5%, from CLP 86,645 million to CLP 93,103 million. This growth was driven by strong volumes despite an adverse macroeconomic environment in all our geographies, characterized by devaluation of our main currencies, inflation, and a slowdown of the economies. The estimated effect of the currency devaluation during the quarter was CLP 11,572 million, compensated mainly by higher prices and efficiencies obtained through our “ExCCelencia CCU” Program. As a consequence we protected our EBITDA margin, which for the quarter reached the level of 22.5%, compared to 22.6% last year.
The Chile Operating segment EBITDA increased 7.8%, driven by a top-line growth of 13.2%, mostly due to 7.8% higher volumes, combined with 5.0% higher average prices. Despite a weak IMACEC4 growth of 1.8%, volume growth was strong as a result of good execution at our points of sale, including active marketing and promotion, which in a very competitive environment during the quarter in all categories, resulted in a gain in market share. The 12.4% devaluation of the Chilean peso, affecting our USD denominated costs by CLP 8,074 million, combined with the promotions mentioned above, have resulted in a decrease in gross margin from 56.8% to 53.9%. This was partially offset by efficiencies in our costs and expenses, leading to a decrease in EBITDA margin of 118 bps. Excluding the effect of the currency devaluation, our EBITDA would have increased 21.0%, increasing the EBITDA margin from 24.8% to 26.5%, a margin expansion of 172 bps.
The International Business Operating segment, which consists of the operations in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay, reported an EBITDA decrease of 8.0% when measured in CLP terms, a decrease in EBITDA margin from 13.9% to 13.3%, representing an EBITDA margin contraction of 53 bps. We were able to grow volumes 2.4%, driven by all geographies, despite an adverse macroeconomic scenario, especially in Argentina following the strong devaluation during this quarter, translating into 66.2% average devaluation of the Argentine peso versus the USD compared to the first quarter of 2015. The impact of the devaluation on our USD denominated cost of sales, was partially compensated by efficiencies.
The Wine Operating segment keeps showing positive results where EBITDA grew from CLP 7,957 million to CLP 9,712 million, which is an increase of 22.1%, increasing EBITDA margin from 19.5% to 21.8%, translating into an EBITDA margin expansion of 228 bps. This improvement is explained by a combination of efficiencies, the lower cost of wine, and top-line growth of 9.3%. Top-line growth was driven by the favorable effect of the strong USD exchange rate in the export business as well as growth in the domestic business. The positive effect of a higher exchange rate during the quarter was CLP 1,810 million.
The results of this quarter are in line with our 2016-2018 Strategic Plan, which as announced previously, has two focuses: growth and efficiencies. The strong volumes reflect the results of our continuous investment in brand building and execution at our points of sale, and at the same time we have reached additional efficiencies on top of what has been achieved during the year 2015.

CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT HIGHLIGHTS(Exhibit 1 and 2) |
NET SALES
| Q1’16 | Increased 8.2% to CLP 414,193 million as a result of 6.3% higher consolidated volumes and 1.8% higher average prices in CLP terms. The Chile Operating segment contributed with a growth of 13.2% in Net sales as average prices increased 5.0% coupled with 7.8% higher volumes, and the Wine Operating segment Net sales increased 9.3% as average price and volumes increased 7.6% and 1.6% respectively. This was partially offset by the International Business Operating segment with a 4.4% decrease in Net sales, as the volume growth of 2.4% could not compensate the 6.7% decrease in average prices in CLP terms. |

Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net sales, increased from 43.2% to 44.3% as our main currencies continue to devaluate, impacting our USD denominated Cost of sales. As a consequence, Gross profit as a percentage of Net sales decreased from 56.8% to 55.7%. |
EBIT
| Q1’16 | Increased 8.5% to CLP 73,926 million. The EBIT margin remains flat at 17.8% as the 101 bps decrease in Gross margin was compensated by a 109 bps decrease in MSD&A as a percentage of Net sales. |

NON-OPERATING RESULT
| Q1’16 | Decreased CLP 10,474 million from a loss of CLP 1,867 million to a loss of CLP 12,341 million mainly explained by: |
| · Foreign currency exchange differences which decreased CLP 1,998 million, from a gain of CLP 1,379 million to a loss of CLP 619 million, mostly due to the impact of the devaluation of the Argentine peso on our USD denominated assets and liabilities in Argentina. |
| · Results as per adjustment units.Higher inflation resulting in higher UF variation affected the Results as per adjustment units for our UF denominated debt, which decreased from a gain of CLP 7 million to a loss of CLP 678 million. |
INCOME TAXES
| Q1’16 | Decreased CLP 6,802 million. Higher income taxes due to the increase of the First Category Income tax rate in Chile from 22.5% to 24.0%, were offset by the effect of price-level restatements of the tax equity due to adjustments for inflation, and by the positive effect of foreign exchange fluctuations on taxes. |
NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT COMPANY
| Q1´16 | Increased 3.0% to CLP 44,586 million, as a result of a higher net income after tax, partially compensated by a higher minority interest. |

FIRST QUARTER OPERATING SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS(Exhibit 3) |
1. CHILE |
Net sales increased 13.2% to CLP 278,629 million as a result of 7.8% higher sales Volumes and 5.0% higher average prices.
EBITincreased 6.8% to CLP 54,193 million mainly explained by 13.2% higher Net sales, partially offset by 20.8% higher Cost of sales and 7.8% higher MSD&A expenses. Cost of sales, as a percentage of Net sales, increased from 43.2% to 46.1%. MSD&A, as a percentage of Net sales, decreased from 36.3% to 34.6%. All-in, the EBIT margin decreased from 20.6% to 19.4%.
EBITDAincreased 7.8% to CLP 65,820 million and the EBITDA margin decreased from 24.8% to 23.6%.
Comments: The increase in volumes, both in beer and non-alcoholics, was mainly due to good execution at the points of sale, and good implementation of our marketing activities. Volumes, together with the efficiencies obtained through the “ExCCelencia CCU” program helped us to increase our EBITDA, in spite of the tough macroeconomic conditions including the devaluation of the Chilean peso which continued to impact our USD denominated Cost of sales and increasing operating costs.
We continued with our long term brand building strategy in all our categories. In our beer category we launched several innovations, such as the Heineken slim can, the first beer in Chile in a 250cc can, a new packaging for Cristal light, and a renewed cans image of the Escudo brand. To broaden our portfolio of cocktails, we launched La Serena Sour, based on natural lemon juice and Campanario Mango Colada, a pisco-based cocktail prepared with cream and mango and coconut flavors.
This summer our ´Team Cristal´ travelled to beaches and holiday destinations across the whole country to promote our beer brand Cristal. We sponsored massive events such as Lollapalooza and the Festival of Viña with Pepsi, the Pucón Iron Man with Gatorade, the tennis challenger tour Cachantun Cup, and ´Mistral in Concert´, to celebrate 80 years of the town Pisco Elqui, the center of the traditional pisco region.

Comments: The volume increased 2.4% despite a tough competitive and macroeconomic scenario characterized by consolidation in of the beer market, devaluation, inflation, and a slowdown of the economies. This growth was driven by good execution at our points of sale and packaging strategy.
The high devaluation in the region versus Q1’15, 66.2% for Argentina, 27.5% for Uruguay and 21.8% for Paraguay, which impacted our USD denominated cost of sales, and higher inflation, were partially compensated by the benefits coming from the “ExCCelencia CCU” program, as well as revenue management initiatives. As a consequence we partially mitigated the pressure on our EBITDA margin, which decreased by 53 bps.
In Uruguay the nectar brand Watt´s was launched, a brand that was already present in Paraguay for 23 years, and for 75 years in Chile. Using the new hotfill production line which was inaugurated this quarter, we have started to produce, commercialize and distribute this strong and succesfull brand in Uruguay. We also launched in Uruguay Nativa Manzana Sin Gas (Nativa Apple Still) in family and individual packaging, bringing our flavored water portfolio to four flavors.
This quarter we signed an agreement with the Argentinean Rugby Union to become the sponsor of the national teams with our beer brand Imperial. In Paraguay we initiated the sponsorship of Club Olimpia with beer brand Coors 1873. In Uruguay we renewed our sponsorship of Uruguayan car racer Santiago Urrutia with our brand Nativa.

The excellent 2015 harvest has fully impacted the results during this quarter, bringing down average cost per liter.
We continue with the development of the expansion plan in Molina which contemplates to nearly double the current production capacity of the Molina plant. During the first quarter our new bottle line came into production bringing us important economies of scale that will help us with our long term profitability.
During the first quarter of 2016, Viña San Pedro inaugurated the new Biogas plant. Viña San Pedro becomes the first winery in the world to generate renewable biogas energy using 100% of its waste from harvest. The new Biogas plant will generate 1MW/hour of clean energy which, in other words, is the equivalent household consumption of 3,200 homes and 60% of the electric and thermal energy requirements of the winery.
