Parque Arauco S.A. (Santiago Stock Exchange: Parauco; Bloomberg: PARAUCO:CI), one of Latin America’s leading shopping center developers and operators, based on gross leasable area (GLA), reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009. The following financial and operating information, unless otherwise indicated, was prepared and presented in accordance with Chilean GAAP. Additionally, the Company utilizes the equity method of accounting, and its financial statements and operating information consolidate the numbers for Parque Arauco and its majority owned subsidiaries, and refer to Parauco’s stake (or participation) in its joint ventures and developments. For a more detailed review of the results filed with the SVS (Chilean Securities and Exchange Commission), please visit the investor section of Parque Arauco’s website www.parauco.com/eng/.

  “We are pleased with our second quarter results as we achieved substantial increases in profitability and operating efficiency. Our business model, which relies on strong brand recognition and a mixture of fixed and variable rent revenue streams, helped us to post record net profits in the first half of 2009 amidst economic uncertainty and lower consumer confidence, and despite lower tenant sales levels. We were able to improve our efficiency and profitability by streamlining corporate overhead, reducing spending on energy at our properties, and consolidating essential contracts with third party service providers,” commented Andrés Olivos, Chief Executive Officer of Parque Arauco.
 
“With the opening in May of Mall Dot Baires, the largest shopping center in Buenos Aires, Parque Arauco now holds interests in nineteen shopping centers operating in Chile, Argentina and Peru, and has successfully expanded its business while diversifying its revenue streams. The strategic acquisition of land in high-growth metropolitan areas throughout the region has allowed the Company to build a land bank equivalent to more than 400,000 m² and positioned it well to benefit from continued economic development of underserved markets such as Colombia, where we plan to open our first shopping center in 2010,” added Mr. Olivos.

Second Quarter Results

Revenues for the second quarter of 2009 increased by 11.7% to Ch$14,690 million from Ch$13,147 million in Q208. Second quarter results reflected higher revenues due to the consolidation of Chilean mall Paseo Arauco Estación (“Estación”), formerly known as Mall Paseo Estación, in May 2008 and its subsequent expansion. The completion of renovations and expansion of selling areas at several other Chilean properties also led to increased operating revenues. In Peru, shopping center Mega Plaza Norte, located in the capital city of Lima, continued to experience solid consumer demand during the second quarter, with revenues in local currency reaching Sol$12,786 thousand.

Gross profit for the quarter increased by 20.5% to Ch$10,325 million as compared to the second quarter of 2008, while cost of sales declined during the period by 4.6% to Ch$4,365 million, mainly as a result of renewed focus on reducing expenses at all properties.

Net operating income (“NOI”), defined as revenues less cost of sales plus depreciation and amortization, increased by 19.6% to Ch$12,378 million from Ch$10,351 million in the second quarter of 2008. The consolidation of Estación for the full second quarter in 2009 was mainly responsible for the improvement in NOI.

Selling, General and Administrative Costs increased by 32.3% to Ch$1,896 million as compared to the prior year’s second quarter. The increase in costs as compared to the second quarter of 2008 primarily reflects the expansion of selling areas at several Chilean properties and Mega Plaza Norte.

In the second quarter, EBITDA increased by 17.5% to Ch$10,482 million from Ch$8,918 million, while EBITDA margin increased substantially to 71.4% from 67.8% in Q208. Expansion of the portfolio of properties was the main driver of the improvement in EBITDA, and most properties demonstrated substantial EBITDA growth individually. The increase in EBITDA margin reflects lower operating expenses due to the focus on reducing expenses and the streamlining of third party service contracts, which contributed to higher operating efficiency. It should be noted that the EBITDA result includes a property tax amount of Ch$845 million that is generally excluded from EBITDA by other comparable mall developers and operators in the Latin American region. When adjusted to exclude the property tax amount, the EBITDA margin for the second quarter was 77.1%. Parque Arauco can also deduct property taxes paid in Chile as a credit when computing income tax.

A non-operating loss of Ch$(3,038) million was recorded in the second quarter, as compared to a loss of Ch$(2,093) million in Q208. Charges associated with the restructuring of personnel and the termination of commercial contracts contributed to the result, as did a decline in financial income, and exchange rate differentials.

During the quarter, a profit on investment in related companies of Ch$302 million was recorded, a decline of 78.9% as compared to the Ch$1,432 million reported in the second quarter of 2008. This result mainly reflects Parque Arauco’s equity participation in Alto Palermo S.A. in Argentina, where profits declined due to a poor performance by the Argentinean company’s Tarshop credit division. Profits also declined at Inmobiliaria Mall Viña del Mar S.A. in Chile.

Net income increased by 93.1% to Ch$6,238 million, or Ch$10.19 per share, compared with net income of Ch$3,231 million, or Ch$5.31 per share, in Q208.

FFO (“Funds from Operations”), defined as net income plus depreciation plus amortization, increased substantially year-over-year, more than doubling to Ch$8,291 million, or Ch$13.65 per share, as compared to Ch$ 5,011 million in the second quarter of 2008. The main drivers of this increase were the consolidation of Estación and an increase in income tax paid by the Company.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled Ch$42,809 million in the second quarter compared to Ch$55,190 million reported at the end of Q208. Funds have been used primarily for the improvement and acquisition of shopping centers such as Estación and Maipú and the development of properties such as Arauco San Antonio in Chile, Stripcenter Chorrillos in Lima, Perú and Mall Alameda in Pereira, Colombia.

Total GLA exceeded 740,024 m², as compared to 621,597 m² in Q208, and owned GLA was 414,759 m², up from 349,935 m² in the equivalent period of the prior year. Occupancy rates reflected the strength of Parque Arauco’s long term lease contracts with tenants, generally ranging from 98.0% to 99.9% and showing only slight variation. However, at Mall Arauco Maipú, the occupancy rate fell from 99.5% to 89.6%, as recently-added GLA was not yet being leased. Estación’s occupancy declined from 100% to 98.6%, while Mall Plaza El Roble’s occupancy improved from 97.9% to 99.7%.

First Half Results

Total revenue for the first half was Ch$29,579 million, an increase of 24.8% as compared to the previous year’s first half results.

Gross profit for the first half grew by 30.4% to Ch$20,349 million.

During the first half, NOI increased by 30.1% as compared with the same period in 2008, reaching Ch$24,639 million.

Operational costs (SG&A plus CoGS) increased by 23% in the first half, driven mainly by the incorporation of Estación, and the expansion of the leasable areas at Arauco Express Pajaritos, Megaplaza and Office Towers Kennedy. Higher taxes, consulting fees and provisions for non-recoverable expenses also contributed to the increase.

EBITDA climbed 26.5% to Ch$20,905 million, due to the expansion of GLA at Parque Arauco Kennedy, Arauco Maipú, and Mega Plaza Norte, which respectively contributed increases in revenues of a 9%, 14% and 12% as compared to the first half of 2008. Estación contributed much higher first half revenues than in 2008 as its Q208 result reflected the fact that it was not consolidated until May 2008.

During the first half, the Company’s profit on investments in related companies declined by 44.7% to Ch$1,616 million, driven primarily by lower profitability at Alto Palermo S.A. (Argentina) due to a poor performance of the company’s credit division.

Change in Accounting Policies

Allocation of Corporate Expenses to Individual Properties:

In an effort to provide greater transparency and accuracy, beginning in the second quarter of 2009, the company began allocating corporate overhead costs using an activity-based accounting approach. Previously, operational costs undertaken by corporate staff were allocated exclusively to the Parque Arauco Kennedy shopping center where the Company’s corporate headquarters is located.

Treatment of Expenses Not Recovered:

Parque Arauco incurs costs associated with the operations of each of its shopping center, and part of those costs are passed on to the venues as common and other expenses. A percentage of the costs are not passed on and are assumed by the Company. Parque Arauco recognizes 100% of each of the costs described within operating expenses or sales and administration costs. The total amount that is recovered is recognized as operating income.

Since the Company does not generate a profit margin on these items, going forward, only the expenses that are not recovered will be accounted for within operating expenses or sales and administration costs. Thus, the amounts that are recovered will not be included in operating revenue, nor expenses.

The effect of this reclassification in the first half of 2009 is a lower operating expense of Ch$5,484,280 (Ch$4,054,531 the previous year) and a lower administration and sales cost of Ch$1,556,798 (Ch$ 1,043,714 in the previous year). Consequently, operating revenues were reduced by Ch$7,041,078 (Ch$5,098,245 in 2008). However, this change doesn’t affect EBITDA.

Property Highlights (Financial and Operating)

Parque Arauco Kennedy – PAK’s total income in Q209 increased by 6.8% to Ch$7,411 million, reflecting expansion of the flagship property’s total GLA, which increased by more than 14,000 m2 to 122,375 m2 due to the addition of GLA from the Office Towers project. The EBITDA of the shopping center rose by 27.2% year-over-year to Ch$6,280 million. During the first half of 2009, income increased by 9% to Ch$14,827 million, while EBITDA of Ch$12,488 million represented an improvement of 17% over the result reported in the prior year. More than 25 years after its initial opening, PAK’s strong brand name and location remains very attractive to both retailers and consumers.

Mall Arauco Maipú – This shopping center, located in Santiago, Chile, which has a revenue base that is almost evenly balanced between anchor tenants and small stores, contributed Ch$1,582 million in income during the second quarter of 2009, an increase of 14.0% as compared to the total in Q208. The property’s EBITDA also rose considerably, by 42.4% to Ch$1,094 million, over the amount recorded in the same period of 2008. For the first six months of the year, income rose by 14% to Ch$3,134 million, and EBITDA reached Ch$2,093 million, a 21% increase over the same period in 2008. The incorporation of affiliated strip mall, Arauco Express Pajaritos, contributed 4,391 m2 of additional GLA and drove the improved results. Newly added GLA at Mall Arauco Maipú was not being leased as of the end of the second quarter, resulting in a 9 p.p. decline in the property’s occupancy rate.

Arauco Express Pajaritos, formerly called Strip Center Pajaritos, is located next to Mall Arauco Maipú in Santiago, Chile and is 95% leased. The strip mall’s financial results for the second quarter 2009 are consolidated in those of Mall Arauco Maipú.

Plaza El Roble – The property, located in Chillán, Chile, has a GLA of 26,531 m2, contributed total income of Ch$869 million during the second quarter. The property’s EBITDA of Ch$607 million represented a slight decline of 1.4% as compared the same period in 2008. El Roble’s first half income increased by 9% to Ch$1,628 million as compared to the first half of 2008, in line with a 7% increase to the shopping center’s GLA. EBITDA for the first six months of 2009 totaled Ch$1,138 million, a 4% decline partly attributable to a 33% increase in the property’s SG&A expenses.

Paseo Arauco Estación – Parque Arauco acquired an 83% stake in this property, formerly known as Mall Paseo Estación, and began consolidating its financial results in May 2008. Estación reported total income of Ch$2,504 million, a 41.6% increase over the amount reported in Q208, and EBITDA of Ch$1,686 million, a 33.1% increase. Estación’s small stores continued to perform especially well, earning 57% of the property’s revenues while comprising just 26% of its total GLA. The property contributed income of Ch$3,630 million during the first half of 2009, a 40% increase, and EBITDA also rose significantly, by 32%, to Ch$3,414 million. The results are attributable to the expansion of GLA at the property by more than 30,000 m2 and the strengthening of tenant composition.

Mega Plaza Norte – Second quarter income of Sol$12,786 thousand was in line with the result recorded in the same period of the previous year, despite a lower number of visitors and a decline in tenant sales. Anchor stores continued to be strong performers at the urban shopping center, generating nearly three quarters of sales during the first half of 2009, however tenant sales overall declined by 8.5% during this period. This contributed to a 7.1% decline in the EBITDA result, to Sol$8,138 thousand, as compared to the result in Q208. Revenues of Sol$26,555 thousand from the first half of 2009 exceeded by 12% the total reported for the same period in 2008, while EBITDA increased by 5% over the amount recorded in 2008 to Sol$16,667 thousand.

Non-Consolidated Assets

Inmobiliaria Mall Viña del Mar S.A. (Chile) – Net profit for the second quarter of 2009 declined by 4.4% to Ch$1,801 million based on the performance of properties Marina Arauco and Mall Center Curico. Net profit declined by 4.3% to Ch$3,508 million in the first half of 2009 as compared to the same period of 2008. Combined, these two shopping centers have a GLA that exceeds 100,000 m2. Parque Arauco holds a 33.3% stake in each of the malls.

 

Marina Arauco – Located in Viña del Mar, Chile, the mall reported second quarter income of Ch$2,302 million, in line with the amount recorded in Q208, and EBITDA of Ch$2,213 million, a slight decline of 1% from Q208 levels. The property’s contribution of income and EBITDA was slightly less during the first two quarters of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008, with each declining by 1%, despite an occupancy level of 100%. Marina Arauco’s monthly sales per square meter were among the strongest in Parque Arauco’s portfolio of properties during the first half of 2009.

 

Mall Center Curicó – This shopping center, located south of Santiago, derives a significant percentage of sales from anchor stores, which accounted for eighty-percent of the property’s revenues during the first half of 2009. Second quarter income was Ch$808 million, in line with the result during the same quarter of the prior year, while EBITDA declined by 3% to Ch$773 million over the amount in Q208. First half income and EBITDA each increased by 2% to Ch$1,627 and Ch$1,611 respectively as compared to the first six months of 2008.

Alto Palermo S.A. (Argentina) – Parque Arauco holds a 31.6% share on a fully diluted basis in Alto Palermo S.A. (APSA) of Argentina, which owns eleven shopping centers in Argentina. Combined, these eleven shopping centers have a total GLA of 289,450 m2. This unit contributed a net income of Ch$1,614 in the first half of 2009.

 

Mall Dot Baires – Buenos Aires -- This upscale shopping center opened successfully in May and, with a total constructed area of 170,000 m2, it is the largest in Buenos Aires. The shopping center has a GLA of 51,083 m2 following a total investment of more than US$140 million. Dot Baires is anchored by a large department store and also features a large supermarket, 170 small stores and offices. Parque Arauco’s interest in the property corresponds with its 31.6% equity interest in project partner Alto Palermo S.A., which now operates 11 malls.

Tenant Sales

Total tenant sales declined by 2.4% during the second quarter, to Ch$152,064 million, as a more cautious consumer sentiment prevailed. The Company observed a 3.4% decline in tenant sales during the first half, as most of the properties in the Chilean market posted same store declines, while the Peruvian market was flat. Quarterly and first half tenant sales were up significantly at Estación, due to the expansion of its selling area.

Outlook

Parque Arauco will continue to further its regional expansion plan in 2009 and has committed to investing an additional US$178 million in Chile, Colombia, and Peru through 2010, bringing the total investment in those markets since 2007 to US$535 million. In light of the economic and credit market scenario that emerged during the second half of 2008 and has affected consumer sentiment in 2009, management adopted a more conservative strategy, deciding to postpone the development of four projects – Arauco Premium Outlet, Quilicura Mall, El Golf, and Baranquilla – while continuing to develop properties such as Arauco San Antonio, Stripcenter Chorrillos and Mall Alameda, which were underway or had already been financed.

Expansion and New Development Projects

Arauco San Antonio – San Antonio – Chile: Parque Arauco S.A. holds a 51% interest in this project, formerly named the Arauco del Pacífico Mall. The property, located in San Antonio, Chile, will feature a mall, casino, and hotel, and is expected to have a GLA of 31,000 m2 following a total investment of US$45 million. With the physical construction complete, the Company was able to advance improvements to the interior during the second quarter. The casino and a small portion of the mall are expected to open by the end of 2009, and the rest of the mall will open during 2010.

Strip Center Chorrillos – Chorrillos – Perú: This strip center, which has an expected GLA of 6,000 m2, is expected to begin commercial operations in Chorrillos, Perú during the second half of 2009, following a total investment of US$7 million, in which Parque Arauco will have a 51% participation. During the second quarter, Parque Arauco furthered the construction of the center, and reached lease agreements with large and small tenants, bringing the portion of total GLA that is leased to 85%.

Mall Alameda – Pereira – Colombia: This shopping center in Pereira, Colombia, is expected to have a total GLA of 40,000 m2 following a total investment of approximately US$88 million, with Parque Arauco holding a 55% interest. Construction is well underway, with commercial operations expected to begin during the second half of 2010. During the second quarter, the property continued to attract leading international and local retail brands. Lease agreements with three well-known anchor tenants have been reached, allowing the Company to focus on lease negotiations with smaller tenants.
