      in the worldwide demand for our core products, and as a result, in 2007 our
      business segments benefited from favorable pricing conditions practically across
      the board,&#8221; said Patricio Contesse, the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer. He
      added, &#8220;Despite the growth potential we see ahead, we must strive to overcome
      ongoing challenges on the cost front. In order to do so, in 2008 we need to
      continue strengthening our efforts to increase productivity. It is my belief
      that the combination of these efforts with the promising outlook for the
      worldwide fertilizer industry should help us to offset higher costs and once
      again deliver better results in 2008.&#8221;</font></div>

      year-over-year growth in fourth quarter revenues was mainly the result of
      favorable pricing conditions in the Specialty Plant Nutrition business segment.
      On average, specialty plant nutrition prices increased approximately 20% with
      respect to the fourth quarter of 2006. Sales volumes of sodium nitrate and
      sodium potassium nitrate increased during the quarter, although this effect
      was
      offset by lower volumes of potassium nitrate sold in China and North America
      as
      a result of shipping delays. </font></div>

      increases also had a positive effect on full-year 2007 revenues in this business
      segment: on average, SPN prices rose around 9% during the year. This increase
      was a result of the tight supply scenario affecting global potassium-related
      markets, combined with a demand that continues to grow. The general lack of
      potassium in the soil found in developing countries is strongly pushing demand
      for potash. At the same time, our specialty plant nutrients have benefited
      from
      changing preferences on the part of consumers, who increasingly demand
      better-quality agricultural products, and as a result, farmers strive to improve
      yields in order to meet the increased demand. Rising prices began to have a
      visible effect on SQM&#8217;s results during the third quarter of 2007, and the upward
      trend was even more noticeable in the fourth quarter. </font></div>

      prices in the Specialty Plant Nutrition segment were complemented by increased
      sales volumes during the year. Demand for specialty plant nutrients in European
      markets, which were affected by bad weather in 2006, recovered in 2007; as
      a
      result, the Company reported a year-over-year increase in sales volumes of
      water
      soluble potassium nitrate to Europe, and especially to Spain. And although
      sales
      of potassium nitrate in China were slightly lower, year over year, in the fourth
      quarter, during the full year SQM recorded a substantial increase in volumes
      sold to this market. In addition, sales of potassium nitrate and sodium
      potassium nitrate in Latin America were higher in 2007, due in large part to
      the
      strong agriculture markets in Brazil. The decrease in sales volumes of other
      non-SQM specialty plant nutrients was predominantly due to the sale of our
      trading affiliate in Mexico during the third quarter of 2006.</font></div>

      Company&#8217;s 2007 results in the Iodine and Iodine Derivatives segment for 2007
      were driven by a combination of higher prices and lower volumes. Iodine prices
      increased approximately 7% with respect to 2006, as rising production costs
      were
      reflected in the pricing. &#160;Further influencing prices was the growing
      demand at the global level, which during 2007 was driven predominantly by the
      use of iodine in such applications as x-ray contrast media for diagnostic
      imaging, biocides for paints and wood treatment products, and liquid crystal
      displays (LCDs).</font></div>

      used in the production of polarizing film&#8212;grew by close to 30% in 2007.&#160; In
      particular, the LCD TV market has been expanding not only in terms of sales
      volumes, but also in terms of growing screen sizes; this tendency should
      continue in the future. Part of this growth in demand is being satisfied by
      iodine recycled in that same industry, as only a fraction of this product
      remains in the polarizing film. The remaining iodine, which producers used
      to
      discard, is now increasingly being reprocessed, and as a result, recycled iodine
      has become essentially an additional &#8220;competitor&#8221; in this market. </font></div>

      pricing was offset by lower sales volumes in the year, as the Company decreased
      its total volumes by approximately 7% with respect to 2006.&#160; This decrease
      was the result of an increasingly competitive market environment; other Chilean
      producers increased their production capacity during the year, and there were
      also increases in production from recycling.&#160; However, given that we expect
      capacity increases by other producers to level out in the next couple of years,
      we believe we are well positioned to capture growth in this market in the medium
      and long terms.&#160; In 2008 we expect to see general stability with slight
      increases on the pricing side, and we should increase sales volumes with respect
      to 2007. </font></div>

      lithium demand continues to grow at rates of around 7% per year. As in recent
      periods, the upward trend during 2007 was driven in large part by demand for
      lithium in rechargeable batteries. Lithium-ion batteries&#8212;traditionally used in
      mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, and many other devices&#8212;are being
      utilized more and more in cordless power tools, which are more lithium-intensive
      than some of the other applications and therefore represent considerable growth
      potential. The rechargeable batteries market grew an estimated 20% in 2007
      and
      is expected to continue growing at similar rates in 2008.</font></div>

      in
      sales volumes in the Industrial Chemicals business segment was primarily
      explained by sales in Latin America. Favorable conditions in the commodities
      markets in recent periods have resulted in increased mining activity in this
      region, which in turn has generated greater demand for explosives, in which
      SQM&#8217;s industrial-grade sodium nitrate is a key component. In addition, SQM
      reported higher volumes of sodium nitrate sold in Europe during the year, which
      is partly due to the use of this product as a medium for heat storage in a
      solar
      energy project in Spain.</font></div>
