Alvaro Rodriguez, Chief Financial Officer, commented: "I want to highlight that 2005 was a very good year for Vitro, especially in light of the difficult year in terms of energy prices. In addition, for the second consecutive year we have met or exceeded our consolidated EBITDA targets. At Vitro we are delivering on our commitments."
"Talking about the year," he said, "I am pleased to report that Glass Containers put in an excellent performance, with a record year in terms of sales and EBITDA. This performance is a reflection of Vitro's strength and capacity to adapt to challenging times. It is also a reflection of our world class management team."
"In Flat Glass, we continue to face a challenging environment and are becoming smarter about managing the recent market changes. The quarter-over- quarter business unit performance, the extraordinary results in OEMs, and the good outcome in our foreign operations are a reflection of this."
"Cost reduction initiatives remain a top priority at Vitro. In fact, this quarter, SG&A as a percentage of sales fell by 1.5 percent year-over-year. This is particularly important given the pressure from high natural gas prices which continues to impact glass companies worldwide."
"We are moving ahead with our strategic plan aimed at unlocking the value at Vitro. As part of this plan, during this quarter we reduced gross debt at the Holding Company by US$26 million to US$583 million from US$609 million in 3Q05, and by US$144 million compared with 4Q'04. We are fully focused on reaching our objective of further reducing Holding Company debt. In addition, we've made progress in our strategy to divest certain assets as we continue negotiations for the sale of Crisa. In this report we are considering Crisa as a discontinued operation according to GAAP as we are optimistic for the positive conclusion of this process. In real estate, we sold a parcel of land for US$18 million and expect to close the sale of ancillary land for an additional US$22 million."

Consolidated Financing Cost
Consolidated financing cost for the quarter increased to US$32 million compared with US$12 million during 4Q'04. This was primarily driven by higher interest expense of US$44 million compared with US$38 million during 4Q'04, lower non-cash monetary position gain of US$14 million compared with US$20 million during 4Q'04 and a US$ 10 million increase in other financial expenses driven mainly by losses in derivative transactions
For 2005, total consolidated financing cost increased to US$127 million from US$115 million due to higher interest expense during the year and a lower non-cash monetary position gain of US$38 million compared with US$60 million in 2004.

Taxes
Total Taxes and PSW for the year ended December 31 2005, represented an income of US$40 million compared with and expense of US$9 million for the year ended December 31 2004. As we mentioned in 2Q05, we recognized a deferred tax benefit of approximately US$55 million due to the recognition of the tax basis of certain assets of some foreign subsidiaries subject to be repatriated. Additionally, during 2005, there was a reform in the Mexican Tax Law which considers cost of goods sold as the deduction base, instead of considering the total amount of purchased goods. This change in law, negatively affected the taxable basis of some subsidiaries.

Consolidated Net Income
During the quarter, the Company recorded a consolidated net income of US$18 million compared to US$3 million during the same quarter last year. Higher EBIT and a US$4 million Other Income figure, compared to US$29 million of other expenses during 4Q'04, helped compensate for higher financing cost and higher taxes and PTU paid and a lower gain in income tax.
Capital Expenditures (CAPEX)
Capital expenditures for the quarter totaled US$26 million, compared with US$56 million in 4Q'04. Flat Glass accounted for 18 percent and was mainly invested for maintenance purposes. Glass Containers represented 82 percent of total Capex consumption and included investment in a new IS machine, a major furnace repair, and maintenance.
Consolidated Financial Position
Consolidated gross debt as of December 31 2005 totaled US$1,383 million, a QoQ decrease of US$57 million.
Net debt, which is calculated by deducting cash and cash equivalents as well as cash collateralizing debt accounted for in other long term assets, decreased QoQ by US$2 million to US$1,218. On a YoY comparison, net debt increased US$47 million.
As of 4Q'05, the Company had a cash balance of US$165 million, of which US$141 million was recorded as cash and cash equivalents and US$24 million, which corresponded to cash collateralizing debt, that was classified as other long term assets. As of December 31 2005, 25 percent of this cash balance was restricted. Restricted cash includes cash collateralizing debt.

Cash Flow
Net free cash flow for the quarter increased to US$23 million compared to a negative US$22 million in 4Q'04. Lower investment in capex during 4Q'05 as a result of the Flat Glass investment in the repair of the VF1 furnace during 4Q'04 and a working capital recovery helped compensate for higher net interest expense and cash taxes paid during the quarter.
For 2005, the Company recorded net free cash flow of US$29 million compared with US$6 million in the same period last year. Recovery of working capital helped compensate for higher interest expenses and cash taxes paid.

Key Developments
Vitro Plan agrees to sell its 51 Percent of Shares of Quimica M
On November 29 2005 the Company announced that its subsidiary Vitro Plan S.A. de C.V. has signed an agreement with Solutia to pursue the sale of its 51 percent of shares in Quimica M, S.A. de C.V., a joint venture between these two companies located near the city of Puebla in Mexico, with Solutia currently owing 49 percent of the shares. The closing of the transaction for approximately US$20 million is subject to approval by government authorities in Mexico and the US. With annual sales in 2004 of US$47 million, Quimica M produces PVB interlayers which are used by major glass producers such as Vitro to make laminated glass for use in automobiles and buildings. This sale is in line with Vitro's Strategic Plan aimed at reducing the Company's debt.
Vitro Announces Successful Closing of US$75 million Secured Short Term Notes Issued by Vitro Envases Norteamerica, S.A. de C.V. ("Vena")
On February 7 2006 the Company announced that its subsidiary Vena, Vitro's glass containers division, successfully closed the issuance of US$75 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Short Term Guaranteed Notes (the "Notes"). The facility is secured, on a pari passu basis, with the existing senior secured indebtedness of Vena. The Notes have a maturity of 12 months and a yield of 8 percent. The net proceeds are being used to refinance debt at Vena's level and for working capital purposes. The market reacted very positively to the offering, which was oversubscribed. The arranger and dealer of the Notes was BCP Securities, LLC.
Vitro Club
The Vitro Clubs, located in Monterrey and Queretaro, Mexico, manage land and facilities for third parties and our employees' recreational activities. These assets are held in trusts. The trusts can only be executed if all the participants name one entity as the sole trustee. In December 2005, the participants named Vitro as the sole trustee and therefore Vitro recognized an income of approximately US$40 million.
Flat Glass
(51 percent of 2005 Consolidated Sales)
Sales
Flat Glass sales for the quarter increased 9.3 percent YoY to US$294 million from US$269 million.
Domestic sales increased 13.7 percent YoY, mainly as a result of higher automotive sales which offset lower construction-related sales. On a QoQ comparison, construction-related volumes have increased 31 percent compared with 3Q'05.
Export sales increased 16.1 percent YoY, due to both higher automotive and construction-related sales.
Automotive sales increased 38.8 percent YoY driven by larger volumes from new platforms launched this year. These new platforms improved product mix at the OEM line and continue to compensate for lower volumes in the Auto Glass Replacement ("AGR") market.
Sales from foreign subsidiaries continued an upward trend, increasing 4.3 percent YoY to US$147 million from US$141 million. Sales at the Spanish subsidiary remained flat YoY compared with the same quarter last year. In addition, sales at Vitro America rose 9.6 percent compared with 4Q'04, mainly driven by higher volumes in the construction market. Vitro Colombia's sales rose 16.3 percent during the same period as a result of increased demand and better product mix.
EBIT & EBITDA
EBIT decreased 29.1 percent YoY to US$16 million from US$22 million, while EBITDA fell 21.5 percent to US$30 million from US$38 million. During the same period, EBIT and EBITDA margins decreased 2.9 and 4.0 percentage points respectively.

(47 percent of 2005 Consolidated Sales)
Sales
Sales increased 14.3 percent YoY to US$261 million from US$229 million.
The main drivers behind the 15.5 percent YoY increase in domestic sales were higher beer and soft drinks volumes coupled with a better price mix across all segments
Export sales grew 13.8 percent due to a strong rise in sales volume at the CFT and Wine & Liquor lines in the US.
Sales from Glass Containers' foreign subsidiaries rose 9.7 percent YoY, reflecting increased demand in Central and South America.
EBIT and EBITDA
EBIT for the quarter increased 94.7 percent YoY to US$24 million from US$12 million in 4Q'04. EBITDA for the same period rose 14.6 percent to US$55 million from US$48 million.
EBITDA growth continued to be driven by higher volumes, improved production efficiencies, and better product mix, which more than offset increased energy costs.
EBITDA from Mexican glass containers operations, which is VENA's core business and represents approximately 83 percent of total EBITDA, rose 22 percent YoY.
The Company's cost reduction efforts continued to benefit results during 2005. COGS was reduced by more than 3 percent of sales compared to 2004.

Sales
Sales decreased 16.1 percent YoY to US$52 million from US$62 million in 4Q'04. On a comparable basis, excluding Bosco, which was divested in April 2005, sales increased 1 percent.
During the quarter, domestic sales decreased 20.1 percent partially due to the divestiture of Bosco. In addition, domestic sales reflected lower volumes at the wholesale and industrial product lines.
Sales reflected a better product mix in the retail, industrial, and OEM product lines during the quarter compared with 4Q'04.
EBIT and EBITDA
EBIT for the quarter increased YoY 6.9 percent to US$2 million. EBITDA for the same period increased 4.5 percent to US$7 million. EBIT and EBITDA margins rose YoY 1 and 2.7 percentage points respectively.
Higher energy costs and lower capacity utilization continued to be the main factors affecting EBITDA margins.
Cost reduction efforts helped compensated for the above-mentioned factors, with savings in salaries, packaging costs, and increased efficiencies in natural gas consumption.
