CMB’s Executive Committee Reviews First-Quarter Results

The consolidated result for the first quarter 2012 amounts to $71.608.000 (2011: $4.775.000). Bocimar contributed $31.766.000 (2011: $22.897.000) to the consolidated result for the first quarter of 2012. This contribution includes a capital gain of $24.122.000 on the sale of 5.200.000 shares FMG. Following these sales, the Group continues to maintain a stake of 33.000.000 shares in FMG. Notwithstanding increased scrapping and a healthy demand for tonnage – mainly from China, the dry bulk markets – the Capesize market, in particular – have not yet recovered from the significant decline seen at the start of the year. This decline was mainly due to the excess influx of new tonnage and serious disruptions in exports from Brazil and Australia.
