Comments from the Chairman and CEO
Mr. Rodrigo Herrera, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "We are pleased to report our second quarter 2009 results, which showed a sound growth. We are currently experiencing a challenging economic environment, which has made difficult the Global Economy's performance; therefore, we will continue to proceed with caution. We were, once again, pleasantly surprised by the net sales level registered during this quarter; which proves that both the Company's business model, as well as its advertising strategies, continue to be successful. We expect to continue in this manner so as to continue gaining market share, increasing net sales and profitability, and thus, creating value for our shareholders.
During the second quarter of 2009, we acquired several brands, some of them are expected to strengthen our presence in certain categories, whereas others will allow us to enter new categories. We continue analyzing new initiatives, and remain committed to the growth-by-acquisitions strategy established in our Initial Public Offering. We believe that adverse economic conditions can contribute to finding attractive expansion opportunities for the Company."
