3. General Comments on 1Q09
1T09 was one of the toughest quarters in many years
Growth was possible because:
Favorable average exchange rate;
Diversification of clients, products and market segments;
Gross margin impacted by:
Cost increases from 2S08 not passed-through into prices;
Lower demand increasing manufacturing costs
Economic conditions at the beginning of 2009 are different from
what we considered for the budget
We continue to believe in top line growth but we may not reach our
targets
Competitive position remains strong, establishing the basis for future
performance recovery
