Packaging Paper Sales volume reached 170 thousand tons in 2Q03, up 26% from 2Q02, while net revenue rose 68% to R$ 261 million. With regard to exports, a noteworthy event was the recovery of the Argentinean market. Sales to this specific market over the period exceeded the levels attained before the economic crisis. As for the domestic market, the positive evolution of packaging cardboard sales despite the unfavorable market conditions in this segment resulted from productivity gains and the development of new applications as a means to secure customer loyalty. Kraftliner production on machine # 6 as of April also helped to improve the performance of packaging paper sales in the second quarter of 2003. Corrugated Boxes Economic activity remained sluggish in Brazil and affected the sale of non-durable consumer goods, which account for 60% of Klabin's output of corrugated boxes. The sales volume of corrugated boxes totaled 89 thousand tons in 2Q03, down 30% from 2Q02. Net revenue amounted to R$ 183 million, up 21% from 2Q02. For strategic purposes, Klabin has sought to preserve the contribution margin of this business line by optimizing selling prices and operating costs. Multiwall Bags Sales volume totaled 28 thousand tons in 2Q03, down 5% from 2Q02. Decreased sales to the domestic market on account of the general slowdown in Brazil's economy were offset by increased exports. Thanks to the prices practiced internationally and to an adjustment to domestic prices at the beginning of the year, net revenue improved 40%, totaling R$ 77 million in 2Q03. Market Pulp Now that the Guaba (RS) mill operating at full capacity, sales volume jumped 29% to 61 thousand tons in 2Q03. Net revenue reached R$ 85 million, up 79% from 2Q02.

Dissolving Pulp After the annual downtime for maintenance in 1Q03, productivity improved and the plant began to produce 10 thousand tons of dissolving pulp per month. Sales volume amounted to 29 thousand tons, with total output already sold up to July 2004. Financially, favorable external market conditions allowed average prices to rise 39%, resulting in a net revenue of R$ 46 million. Tissue Sales volume amounted to 32 thousand tons, down 18% from 2Q02 due to the loss of purchasing power among Brazilians and the increasing sales of cheaper brands. Thanks to price adjustments and new launches, net revenue advanced 22%, totaling R$ 138 million. Printing & Writing Paper Sales volume amounted to 7 thousand tons in 2Q03, up 18% from 2Q02. Net revenue rose 61% from 2Q02, closing the period at R$ 17 million.
