São Paulo, July 30, 2008 – SADIA S.A. (BOVESPA: SDIA3 and SDIA4; NYSE: SDA; LATIBEX: a national leader in the segment of processed food, releases today its results for the second quarter of 2008 (2Q08). The Company's operating and financial information are presented in thousands of reais – except where indicated otherwise – based on consolidated figures, in accordance with the corporate legislation. All comparisons in this release are made in relation to the same period in 2007 (2Q07), except where indicated otherwise.

“The rise in the international price of oil and the growth of the world economy drove the prices of agricultural commodities up in the first half of the year. The prices of corn and soybean, the main inputs in our industry, are approximately 33% and 50%, respectively, higher than those of the first half of 2007. The commodities price rise has caused a food inflation worldwide. In spite of the threat of a slowdown in the world economy, the business trend is favorable to Brazil and to Sadia´s businesses. Even with this scenario of cost pressure, the results of the second quarter of 2008 were in line with Company expectations. Gross revenues in the period reached R$ 2.9 billion, an increase of 26.5%, when compared to those of the 2Q07. EBITDA reached R$ 271.5 million, 18.4% higher, with a margin of 10.5%. Sadia´s sales in the foreign market continue to be driven by strong demands and firm prices. An upturn may be observed in the mix sold in this market, such as the increase in the revenue brought by poultry cuts, of 72.1% in the 2Q08. In the domestic market, the segment of processed products, which accounted for around 80% of the revenues, exceeded the 2Q07 figures by 24.9%. To maintain a continued growth aligned with its strategy, Sadia invested R$ 952.7 million in the first half of this year, out of an estimated total of R$ 1.6 billion for the year, in actions geared to strengthen its expansion in the domestic market and the strategies for the globalization of its operations, in view of the competitive conditions of Brazil as a producer of animal protein. The Concórdia Banco operation has been approved and its purpose is to take advantage of the business opportunities and synergies provided by the value chain of the Sadia group. The Company acknowledges the competence of its associates, who ensure the strength of its brand and the high quality of its products, contributing to enhance the credibility of the Company with customers, shareholders, investors and suppliers. “ – Gilberto Tomazoni – CEO

[sadiarelease2q08010.gif]


Gross operating income in the 1S08 totaled R$ 5.5 billion, of which 52% came from the domestic market and 48% from the international market, and was 23.5% higher than that of the 1S07. In the 2Q08, the amount was R$ 2.9 billion, up 26.5% when compared to the 2Q07, while 52% of that amount was also obtained in the domestic market. The favorable performance of the volume sold and the average prices charged in the segments of processed products and poultry played a key role in the generation of these revenues.

Physical sales to the domestic market were 10.6% higher in the 1S08 and 7.8% higher in the 2Q08, when compared to the same periods of 2007. In the international market, they were up 7.0% in the 1S08 and 9.5% in the 2Q08 when compared to 2007, even with the foreign exchange devaluation close to 17.0%, both in the six-month and in the three-month comparisons.

In the 2Q08, this segment accounted for 43.0% of the volume and 46.4% of the revenues, with increases of 8.5% and 24.8%. Such performance was the result of a better marketing of the processed products both in the domestic and in the international markets.

The poultry volume sold increased 8.2% in the 1S08 and 12.4% in the 2Q08, representing approximately 46.6% and 47.5% of the total sold by the Company in the half year and in the quarter.  The revenues generated increased 29.3% in the 1S08 and 36.0% in the 2Q08. The Company redirected some of the poultry sales to the international market.

The pork segment shrunk 1.8% in physical sales in the 1S08 and 5.7% in the 2Q08 due to the allocation of this raw material to the production of processed products. Nonetheless, gross revenues rose 19.6% in the first half of the year and 21.3% in the 2Q08 due to increases in the average prices charged in the domestic and foreign markets.

Physical sales of beef protein shrunk 6.5% in the 1S08 and 5.9% in the 2Q08, mostly as a result of a shortage of animals for slaughtering. Revenue decreased in the first half of the year – 0.6% compared to 1S07 – and increased 3.8% in the 2Q08.

Domestic Market

The domestic market has continued its positive sales performance. The revenue generated was 21.5% higher in the 1S08 and 23.6% in the 2Q08, compared to the same periods of 2007. The sales volume grew 10.6% and 7.8%, respectively, in the 1S08 and 2Q08. The average price also increased, 10.9% and 16.2%.

The segment of processed products was, again, the highlight of the period, accounting for approximately 81.0% of the total Company’s revenues in the domestic market, exceeding by 22.6% and 24.9% the amounts of the 1S07 and of the 2Q07. The volumes sold during the 1S08 and the 2Q08 corresponded to approximately 84% of the Company’s total in this market and added up to 429.1 thousand and 214.9 thousand tons, respectively an increase of 11.9% compared to the 1S07 and 9.1% compared to 1Q07. The average price in the first half of the year was 9.5% higher than that of the 1S07 and, in the 2Q08, 14.6% higher than that of the 2Q07. The results of the segment of processed products continue to reflect the demand and the preference of the Brazilian population for the consumption of this kind of product.

The poultry volume sold in the first semester represented 10% of the Company’s total volume and was 8.8% lower than that of the 1S07, reaching 51.2 thousand tons. Physical sales of protein in the quarter dropped 19.7% compared to the 2Q07 and totaled 24.2 thousand tons. The lower percentages are in line with the strategy of targeting the foreign market. Even so, the average price rose 10.3% compared to 1S07 and 18.9% compared to 2Q07. This segment achieved revenues 0.7% higher than that of the 1S07 and corresponded to approximately 7.0% of the Company’s revenues in both periods.

Physical sales of pork protein in the 1S08 were 6.7% higher than those of the 1S07 and totaled 21.9 thousand tons in the period. In the 2Q08, this volume reached 12.0 thousand tons, 27.1% higher compared to the 2Q07. The pork segment represented 4.3% of the total volume sold by the Company in the 1S08 and 4.7% in the 2Q08. Revenue in the 1S08 was 40.4% higher than that of the 1S07 and, in the 2Q08, 59.6% higher than that of the 2Q07.  The lower availability of pork in the market boosted the average price in the half year, surpassing by 31.4% that charged in the 1S07 and, in the quarter, it was 25.7% higher than that charged in the same period of the prior year.

The beef volume sold in the 1S08 was 206.2% greater than that sold in the same period of 2007, with 10.2 thousand tons. Physical sales in the 2Q08 also increased – 219.5% compared to 2Q07 - totaling 6.1 thousand tons due to the redirecting of protein to the domestic market in view of the European embargo. The average price in the 1S08 was 3.8% lower than that of the 1S07 and that of the 2Q08 rose 10.1%. Consequently, in the 1S08, this kind of protein generated revenues 194.7% higher than that of 1S07 and, in the 2Q08, 251.9% higher than that of the 2Q07.

Foreign Market

Export revenues during the 1S08 exceeded that of the 1S07 by 25.8%; in the 2Q08, by 29.6%. This performance is the result of an increase of 7.0% in physical sales of this half year and of 9.5% in the 2Q08. Further, the average prices in reais charged by the Company in the foreign market were 17.6% and 19.6% higher than those in the 1S08 and in the 2Q08, respectively. The foreign exchange devaluation was of approximately 17.0%, both in the six-month and in the three-month comparisons.

Revenue from the poultry segment in the first half of the year was 33.5% higher than that of 1S07 and 42.2% higher in the 2Q08. In both periods, the amounts were equivalent to 74.0% of the total earned by the Company in the foreign market. The poultry volume in the 1S08 represented 78.3% of the total exported by the Company and totaled 462.8 thousand tons, 10.5% higher than that of the same period last year. Physical sales in the 2Q08 surpassed by 17.0% those of the 2Q07 and also accounted for 78.9% of the total, reaching 246.8 thousand tons. The main highlight was the increase in the exports of cuts. The average price of this segment in the 1S08 was 20.8% higher in reais and 41.4% in U.S. dollars than that charged in the 1S07 and, in the 2Q08, higher by 21.6% in reais and 42.0% in U.S. dollar, when compared with the same quarter last year.

Physical sales of processed products in the 1S08 exceeded by 12.4% those recorded in the 1S07 and totaled 59.1 thousand tons – approximately, 10% of the Company’s total sales. In the 2Q08, this segment totaled 30.2 thousand tons, 4.5% higher than that in the 2Q07. In the 1S08, revenue from this segment represented 10.7% of the total and surpassed by 26.9% the amount posted in the 1S07. Revenue in the 2Q08 evolved 23.4% when compared to the same period of the prior year and was equivalent to 10.1% of the total earned by the Company. The average price in the first half of the year exceeded by 13.1% in reais and 32.4% in U.S. dollars that of the 1S07 and, in the 2Q08, by 17.9% in reais and 37.6% in U.S. dollar that of the 2Q07. It should be emphasized that the exports of processed products were lower to the Americas due to specific factors which ended up by affecting the volume exported in the 2Q08.

The volume sold in the pork segment in the 1S08 was 5.2% lower compared to the 1S07, totaling 48.6 thousand tons – 8.1% of the Company’s total volume. Physical sales of protein in the 2Q08 totaled 25.4 thousand tons, 15.9% less than the same period of 2007. This was due to the strategy of directing pork raw material from the foreign market to the production of processed products in the domestic market.  In spite of that, the revenue recorded by this segment in the 1S08 represented 9.8% of the total and exceeded by 12.3% that earned in the 1S07. In the 2Q08, the revenue grew 9.4% compared to an equal period in the prior year. In the 1S08, the average price was 18.4% higher in reais and 38.6% in U.S. dollars than that of the 1S07 and in the 2Q08, it surpassed by 30.0% in reais and 51.7% in U.S. dollars that of the same period of the prior year.

The beef exported volume in the 1S08 was 30.8% lower than that of the 1S07 and, in the 2Q08, physical sales fell 33.1% compared to 2Q07, a reflection of the European embargo to the Brazilian meat and the redirecting to the domestic market. The revenue recorded by this segment was 21.6% lower in the 1S08 and 24.8% lower in the 2Q08, compared to equal periods in the prior year. In the 1S08, the average price in reais exceeded by 13.3% that of the 1S07 and grew 32.7% in U.S. dollar; the average price in the 2Q08 was 12.6% higher in reais and 31.4% in U.S. dollar than those in the same period of the prior year, due to, primarily, the restriction in the supply of animals.

NET OPERATING INCOME

Net revenue reached R$ 4.9 billion in the 1S08, of which R$ 2.6 billion were in the 2Q08, representing an increase of 24.6% compared to the 1S07 and 28.1% compared to the 2Q07. This increase was due to the larger volumes sold and higher average prices charged, particularly of processed products in the domestic market and of poultry in the foreign market. The average devaluations of the U.S. dollar in the six-month and three-month comparisons were close to 17.0%.

 


Gross profits in the 1S08 reached R$ 1.2 billion and R$ 616.3 million in the 2Q08, 16.1% above that of the 1S07 and 18.6% above that of the 2Q07. The various increases in the prices of grains (corn and soybean) during the half year resulted in an increase of 27.6% and 31.3% in the cost of products sold in the 1S08 and 2Q08, respectively, compared to equal periods in the prior year. Consequently, gross margin slipped 1.8 percentage point in the 1S08 and 1.9 percentage point in the 2Q08 when compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Gross Margin

[sadiarelease2q08040.gif]

The market prices (ESALQ – North of the State of Paraná) of corn and soybean in the 1S08 were, respectively, 33.0% and 50.0% higher than those in the 1S07 and in the 2Q08/2Q07 they were 36.6% and 54.2%.


OPERATING INCOME

The ratio of operating expenses – selling, general, administrative and other expenses – to net income fell in the six-month comparison from 18.5% to 17.8% and in the three-month from 19.2% to 18.1%, reflecting an efficiency gain in operational management.

Selling expenses were R$ 757.8 million and its ratio to net income had a significant reduction, reducing to 15.5% in the 1S08, compared to the 17.1% in the 1S07. In the three-month comparison, the drop was from 17.4% to 15.6%. This performance reflects gains of scale and therefore a dilution of fixed expenses.

General and administrative expenses totaled R$ 66.7 million in the 1S08 and R$ 35.3 million in the 2Q08, equivalent to 1.4% of the net revenues of the 1S08 and of the 2Q08. Such increase is mostly related to the evolution of expenses to provide support to growth in the oncoming years.

The provision for profit sharing (PPS) reached R$ 43.5 million in the 1S08, and R$ 20.4 million in the 2Q08. In equal periods in 2007, the amounts were R$ 12.0 million and R$ 6.0 million. The higher amounts in 2008 are the result of a more equitable distribution of these expenses during the year.

Earnings before financial expenses and equity in the earnings of subsidiaries (EBIT) in the half year surpassed by 7.8% that of the 1S07, reaching R$304.7 million. In the quarter, a substantial growth of 12.3% was recorded.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization) reached R$ 548.4 million in the 1S08 and R$ 271.5 million in the 2Q08, amounts 19.0% and 18.4% higher than those recorded in equal periods in the prior year, respectively. The EBITDA margin in the half year was 11.3% and in the 2Q08, it was 10.5%.

FINANCIAL RESULT

Sadia’s financial results reflect the financial management of its financial assets and liabilities as well as the foreign exchange variations of its investments abroad.

For the half year, the result was a positive amount of R$24.6 million while in 2007 it was a negative R$3.8 million. This result is obtained basically from two factors. First the decrease in interest on financial investments was due to a reduction in the nominal amount invested. Second the foreign exchange effect caused by the variation of the currency on the exposure of the assets and liabilities as well as effects from hedges.

In the quarter, this result represented a negative amount of R$ 12.2 million in 2008 and a positive amount of R$ 2.7 million in 2007.

At the end of June 2008, Sadia’s net financial debt totaled R$2.1 billion, an amount 92.5% higher than that at the end of June 2007. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA closed the half year at 1.8. This was due primarily to the Company’s investment plans, which totaled R$952.7 million in the 1S08.

In June 2008, the risk rating agency Standard & Poor’s raised Sadia’s corporate credit rating from “BB” to “BB+”. This upgrade reflects a higher stability in Sadia´s margins as well as the measures taken to protect its cash flow during the process of growth and improvement of operational efficiency during the last years. Further, it is in line with the consistent domestic and foreign demands and should lead to a broader price flexibility and reduce the Company’s exposure to the prices of commodities. This upgrade also reflects a greater diversification of the Company’s mix and production. Sadia is expanding its productive capacity in Brazil with a high growth level and strengthening its brand in key export destinations such as Russia and the Middle East. This activity provides support to a broader product mix and reduces the risks of commercial and sanitary barriers.

In June, Sadia signed a letter of intent to invest in a production unit in the City of Mafra, in Santa Catarina. This unit will comprehend a pork slaughterhouse, a feed plant and integrated production farms (outgrowers). It will have a slaughtering capacity of 5 thousand heads/day and, when operating at full capacity as scheduled by 2011, will generate an annual revenue of R$ 500 million. The grain plant will produce 60 thousand tons/month. This enterprise will receive total investments of R$ 650 million up to 2010, of which R$ 400 million will be supplied by the Company and R$ 250 million by third parties.

Another investment announced by Sadia, this one in July, will be made in Campo Verde, State of Mato Grosso, in a new production unit including a poultry slaughterhouse, a feed plant, a hatchery and integrated system farms.   This unit will have a slaughtering capacity of 500 thousand heads/day and will produce 80 thousand tons/month of animal feed. When operating at full capacity, by 2011, it will generate an estimated annual revenue of R$780 million. Out of the total production, 60% will be destined to the foreign market. The estimated total investment is R$ 630 million, to start as of 2009, of which R$ 400 million will come from the Company and R$ 230 million from third parties.
