3Q11 achievements

Fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth in sales

Favorable volume dynamics in the U.S., Northern Europe and the South, Central America and Caribbean regions

Have practically eliminated our refinancing risk until December 2013

Early evidence of transformation success

Expected to result in a recurring improvement in our steady state EBITDA of US$150 million during the second half of this year, having achieved about one third during the quarter

Expected to reach run rate of recurring improvement in our EBITDA generation of US$400 million by the end of 2012
