Operating Income
Cost of goods sold totaled R$ 588 million in the quarter, up 22% year on year and 1% quarter on quarter, due to the year-on-year increase in sales volume, the change in sales mix, higher input prices (fuel oil, chemical products and natural gas), the depreciation of equipment for the MA 1100 Project and costs with the maintenance stoppage at the Monte Alegre plant. COGS year to date was R$ 1.7 billion, up 23% in relation to 9M07. Selling expenses were R$ 74 million in 3Q08, increasing by 12% year on year and 7% quarter on quarter, due to the variation in sales volume. Selling expenses year to date were R$ 227 million, 13% higher than in 9M07, due to the increase in sales volume. Freight costs were R$ 144 million, represented 63% of total selling expenses.
General and administrative expenses totaled R$ 54 million in 3Q08, 30% higher year on year and 22% higher quarter on quarter.

General and administrative expenses year to date totaled R$ 139 million, 6% higher than in 9M07. Net other operating revenue (expenses) was negative R$ 6 million in 3Q08, owing to nonrecurring expenses. Operating income before the financial result (EBIT) reached R$ 49 million in 3Q08, 65% and 34% lower than in 3Q07 and 2Q08, respectively, also reflecting the higher depreciation from the MA 1100 Project.

Business Performance
BUSINESS UNIT - FORESTRY
Klabin handled 2.1 million metric tons of pine and eucalyptus logs, woodchips and waste for energy generation in 3Q08, an increase of 18% year on year and stable in relation to 2Q08. Of this total, R$ 1.5 million metric tons were transferred to plants in the states of Paran, Santa Catarina and So Paulo. The volume of log sales to sawmills and planer mills totaled 622 thousand metric tons in the quarter, down 7% year on year and stable compared to 2Q08. Net revenue from log sales to third parties in 3Q08 was R$ 53 million, down 14% year on year and 1% quarter on quarter. Klabins customers have managed to reduce their dependence on the U.S. market, increasing sales to Europe and the domestic market. However, the contraction in the U.S. homebuilding market continues to have an adverse affect on wood sales to third parties. In August, new-home starts in the United States fell to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 865 thousand units, declining by 9% against August 2007 and by 35% against July 2008. At the end of September, the planted area totaled 220 thousand hectares, of which 156 thousand hectares were planted with pine and araucaria and 64 thousand hectares with eucalyptus, in addition to 186 thousand hectares of permanent preservation and legal reserve areas. To support the current expansion in capacity as well as future capacity expansions, the companies continues to invest in increasing its own forest area and through partnerships, leasing agreements and development programs. The forestry unit is preparing for an additional 1.5 million metric tons of fiber per year.

Kraftliner domestic sales rose to 26 thousand metric tons in the quarter, 55% higher than in 3Q07 and 15% lower against 2Q08, and to 75 thousand metric tons year to date, up 56% over 9M07.

Corrugated boxes net revenue came to R$ 244 million in the quarter, 1% lower year on year and 2% lower quarter on quarter. This net revenue year to date was R$ 717 million, 6% more than in 9M07. Prices increased 5.6% in the quarter and 9.0% year to date. The lower availability of credit and the recent increase in the exchange rate may boost the demand for local non-durable goods, strengthening the demand for corrugated boxes in subsequent months. The company is rebuilding margins by implementing price increases.

Outlook
Klabin plans to continue its long-term strategy for the board, paper and packaging businesses. However, in view of the current scenario of limited credit and high interest rates caused by the turbulence in world financial markets, the company will work to preserve its working capital, debt profile and cash position. Envisaging future investments, we continue to expand our forest areas by drawing on own and third-party funds.
