2013A 2014A 2015A

Volume − Total volume sold slightly down in the past three years

due to the demand trend in the CWF 2/s market

− Partially offset by growing demand in premium CWF 2/s and Specialty papers

Revenue remained stable across the past two years: − Lecta was impacted by lower energy sales reflecting the

change in the Spanish and French energy cogeneration regimes in 2013

− Mitigated by growing share of Specialty papers with a higher unit price

EBITDA was positively impacted by: − Shift of product-mix towards higher margin Specialty

papers with growing demand

− Organization efficiency programs

Capex: − Higher level of capex in 2014 due to PM7 investment

and capacity conversion
