On November 3 CCU posted its revenues up 7.8% for the first nine months of the year. Operating Income Increased 46.8%, EBITDA(1) Up 17.6%, Net Income Decreased 40.4% to US$0.56 per ADR. In the third quarter the beer Argentina segment increased its revenues 13.1% and improved its operating results by US$0.8 million, due to higher sales volume and price recovery in US dollar terms, rising from US$29/HL in Q3’03 to US$33/HL in Q3’04. Consolidated volumes growth is explained by an increase of 12.3% in beer Argentina, 4.0% in the soft drinks segment, 2.9% in beer Chile and 5.7% in the Chilean bottled export wine business.
