MASISA S.A. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

Santiago, Chile, August 14, 2006 – MASISA S.A. (NYSE: MYS) (“Masisa” or “the Company”), a leading company in the Latin American forestry and wood products industries, announced its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006.

HIGHLIGHTS

Net sales for the second quarter of 2006 increased by 24.1% over the same quarter of 2005, to US$218.2 million, driven by higher prices and volumes. Compared to the first quarter of this year, sales increased by 2.7%.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales fell from 26.6% to 22.1%, compared with the same quarter of 2005, basically due to rising costs. Compared with the first quarter of 2006, costs also increased, however, the operating margin remained flat due to the passing on of higher costs to sale prices.
Administrative and selling expenses in the second quarter of this year were 13.8% of sales, an important improvement compared to the second quarter of 2005 when this figure was 15.6% of sales.
Operating income declined by 5.8% with respect to the second quarter of 2005, to US$18.1 million, due to a smaller sales margin, which was offset by greater cost efficiencies. Compared to the first quarter of 2006, operating income also fell by 5.8% mainly due to higher selling and administrative expenses.
Net income for the second quarter of 2006 was US$ 4.1 million, representing a decline of 42.7% compared to the same quarter of 2005, and an increase of approximately 250% with respect to the first quarter of 2006

Business Analysis – Comparison 2Q06 v. 1Q06

Sales

Company sales in the second quarter of 2006 amounted to US$218.2 million, representing a 2.7% increase over the first quarter of 2006.

The main factors in the second quarter’s sales were:

Sales of MDF boards remained at similar levels, but the effects of prices and volumes moved in opposing directions. The prices of MDF boards increased 5.6% in our principal markets, while MDF board sales volume fell 5.5%, mainly due to weak volumes in Brazil.
Sales of MDF mouldings increased 37.3%, mainly in the U.S., where volume increased 27.7% and prices increased 7.5%.
Sales of finger-joint mouldings increased 6.2%, mainly due to a 12.1% rise in prices in the U.S market, which was partially offset by a 5.2% decline in sales volume in the U.S. market.
Sales of OSB boards fell by 23.4% due to the volume reductions of 38.0% in the U.S, which experienced unusually high sales in the first quarter as well as a plant stoppage in Brazil, in June 2006.

Operating Income

Operating income in the second quarter of 2006 was US$18.1 million, representing a 5.8% decline compared to the first quarter of 2006.

The principal outstanding factors in the second quarter’s operating income were:

Increases in the production costs of knot-free boards of approximately 5% because of rises in chemical and wood prices, which represent 35.2% and 23.2%, respectively, of the total cost of boards.
Operating margin of mouldings improved due to higher prices (7.5% increase for MDF mouldings and 12.1% for finger-joint mouldings).
Administrative and selling expenses reached 13.8% of sales, slightly higher than the previous quarter, mainly because of extraordinary expenses during this period.

Business Analysis – Comparison 2Q06 v. 2Q05

Sales

Company sales in the second quarter of 2006 were 24.1% higher than in the same quarter of 2005.

The main factors affecting the increase sales during the second quarter were:

Increased sales of MDF boards of 24.1% due to a 6.8% rise in prices and a 16.1% increase in volumes.
Increased sales of particle boards of 18.9%, due to a 12.6% rise in price and a 5.6% increase in volumes.
Increased sales of MDF boards of 54.6% in the United States, due to a 62.2% rise in volumes and a 4.7% decline in prices in that market.
Sales of OSB boards fell by 12.8% due to a 35.2% reduction in volume in the United States, partially offset by a 4.8% price increase over the same quarter of 2005.
Sales of forestry logs rose by 79.2%, driven by a 55.8% rise in prices and 15% in volume, principally in Chile.

Operating Income

Operating income in the second quarter of 2006 was US$18.1 million, 5.8% lower than that of the same quarter of 2005.

The main factors affecting operating income during the second quarter were:

A 12.5% increase in the cost of board production, mainly due to a rise the price of chemicals and wood, which represent 35.2% and 23.2%, respectively, of total board costs.
Increase of 10.3% in the cost for the production of solid wood products, mainly due to higher labor costs and third-party services, due to the appreciation of the Brazilian real and the Chilean peso.
Administrative and selling expenses fell from 15.6% to 13.8% of sales.
Price increases and expense reductions were not enough to offset the higher costs during the period.
