3. Highlights
In the 1Q08 JBS’s net revenue grew by 439.4% when compared to the 1Q07,
from R$1,086.1 (1Q07) to R$5,859.1 million (1Q08).
JBS’s consolidated EBITDA margin for the 1Q08 was 3.0%, a 85.9% jump
compared to the previous quarter.
JBS USA’s gross margin (including JBS Australia) increased by 3.2% to 5.0% in
the 1Q08, compared with the 4Q07.
JBS USA (including JBS Australia) had an EBITDA margin of 0.6% in the 1Q08,
up from the -1.4% margin on the 4Q07.
JBS USA (including JBS Australia) had a 20.3% gain in net revenue in the 1Q08
versus the 1Q07 figure.
JBS MERCOSUL’s result was negatively impacted by the European Union
restrictions on its activities and by the economic conjuncture in Argentina.
With operations in four important production and distribution platforms (USA,
MERCOSUL, Australia and Europe), JBS shall capture strong advantages in
comparison to its regional competitors, taking into consideration the current
momentum of increase in demand and low protein offer, in addition to the
scenario of convergence of margins due to the highest globalization of the
industry.
