QUINENCO S.A. ANNOUNCES CONSOLIDATED RESULTS
FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2005
(Santiago, Chile, October 28, 2005) Quinenco S.A. (NYSE:LQ), a leading Chilean
business conglomerate, announced today its consolidated financial results in
Chilean GAAP, for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005.
Consolidated financial results are presented in accordance with Chilean GAAP.
All figures are presented in constant Chilean pesos and have been adjusted to
reflect the effects of inflation (3.0% year-over-year). Figures in US$ have been
converted from Chilean pesos (Ch$) at the observed exchange rate on September
30, 2005 (Ch$529.20 = US$1.00) and are only provided for the reader's
convenience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3Q 2005 HIGHLIGHTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Operating income grew by 8.6% to Ch$7,403 million (US$14.0 million) mainly
due to the strong performance of Madeco's cable business, and to a lesser
extent, a reduction in expenses at the Quinenco corporate level.
- Results from equity method investments reflected continued growth of Banco
de Chile and CCU. Income from these equity method investments increased by
16.1% to Ch$15,657 million (US$29.6 million).
- Non-operating income reached Ch$753 million (US$1.4 million) compared to
non-operating income of Ch$394 million (US$0.7 million) in 3Q 2004.
- Net income amounted to Ch$5,103 million (US$9.6 million) in 3Q 2005, down
from the net income of Ch$6,116 million (US$11.6 million) reported in 3Q
2004. In spite of the marked growth in operating income, a heavier tax
burden pulled down net results for the third quarter of 2005.
- YTD net earnings amounted to Ch$44,520 million (US$84.1 million), far
surpassing the Ch$21,772 million (US$41.1 million) reported for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004.
- Earnings per share amounted to Ch$4.73 (US$0.01) and earnings per ADR to
Ch$47.26 (US$0.09) for the third quarter of 2005.

Although the net income contribution from operating companies rose by 7.5%
reaching Ch$16,579 million (US$31.3 million), quarterly results were

Revenues - 3Q 2005
------------------
Consolidated revenues for the third quarter of 2005 were Ch$98,398 million
(US$185.9 million), down by 4.0% from the Ch$102,458 million (US$193.6
million) reported in the third quarter of 2004, mostly explained by a 3.7%
decrease in Madeco's sales as a result of a downturn in the sales of its
brass mills and flexible packaging business units. Consolidated sales are
broken down as follows: Madeco (86.0%), Telefonica del Sur (13.7%) and
others (0.3%).
--------------------------
Operating Income - 3Q 2005
--------------------------
Operating income for the third quarter of 2005 was Ch$7,403 million (US$14.0
million), up by 8.6% from the Ch$6,815 million (US$12.9 million) reported in
the third quarter of 2004. The improvement in consolidated operating income
was attributable to Madeco's operations, which benefited from the strong
performance of its cables business unit and to a lesser extent, a reduction
in expenses at the corporate level.
----------------
EBITDA - 3Q 2005
----------------
EBITDA reached Ch$13,663 million (US$25.8 million) in 3Q 2005, compared to
Ch$13,367 million (US$25.3 million) in 3Q 2004, an increase of 2.2%.

------------------------------
Non-Operating Results -3Q 2005
------------------------------
Quinenco reported non-operating income of Ch$753 million (US$1.4 million)
in the third quarter of 2005, compared to non-operating income of Ch$394
million (US$0.7 million) in the same quarter of 2004. The variation
between the two periods is mostly explained by an increase in Quinenco's
proportionate share of Banco de Chile's, CCU's and Entel's net income and
a reduction in other non-operating expenses (net), the effects of which
were partially offset by a higher level of interest expense and a decline
in price-level restatement and foreign currency results. The main items
included in non-operating results are discussed below:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Proportionate share of net income of equity method investments (net)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Quinenco's proportionate share of net income from equity method
investments (net) reached Ch$16,651 million (US$31.5 million),
compared to Ch$13,660 million (US$25.8 million) in 3Q 2004, an
increase of 21.9%. The increase mainly corresponded to growth in the
proportionate share of net income from Banco de Chile (+Ch$1,279
million or US$2.4 million), CCU (+Ch$898 million or US$1.7 million)
and Entel (+Ch$928 million or US$1.8 million).
--------------------------
Other non-operating income
--------------------------
Other non-operating income was Ch$702 million (US$1.3 million),
compared to Ch$254 million (US$0.5 million) in the third quarter of
2004. Other non-operating income in 3Q 2005 was mainly composed of
the gain on the sale of Cencosud shares during the third quarter,
gain on the sale of fixed assets and rental income.
--------------------------------
Amortization of goodwill expense
--------------------------------
Amortization of goodwill expense amounted to Ch$5,190 million
(US$9.8 million) in the third quarter of 2005, compared to Ch$5,293
million (US$10.0 million) reported in the same period of 2004.
Goodwill expense is almost entirely related to the Banco de Chile
acquisition in 2001, and to a lesser extent, the Banco Edwards
acquisition in 1999 (now kept on the books as Bank of Chile). Of the
total balance of goodwill at the consolidated level of Ch$294,408
million (US$556.3 million) as of September 30, 2005, Ch$279,741
million (US$528.6 million) was associated with the acquisition of
the banks. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method over
twenty years.
----------------
Interest Expense
----------------
Interest expense for the third quarter of 2005 amounted to Ch$7,841
million (US$14.8 million), an increase of 30.7% compared to the same
period in 2004. The increase mainly corresponds to higher interest
expense at the corporate level as a result of extraordinary costs
associated with the modification of Quinenco's Serie A bonds in
July, which effectively lowered Quinenco's existing interest rate on
that series. The increase in interest expense during 3Q 2005 was
marginally offset by lower interest expense at Telsur due to a
reduction in its level of indebtedness.
----------------------------
Other non-operating expenses
----------------------------
Other non-operating expenses amounted to Ch$3,173 million (US$6.0
million) compared to Ch$4,095 million (US$7.7 million) in the third
quarter of 2004. Other non-operating expenses are mostly composed of
asset write-downs and provisions and expenses associated with
Lucchetti Peru.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Price-level restatement and foreign currency translation results
----------------------------------------------------------------
Price-level restatement and foreign currency translation results
amounted to a net loss of Ch$955 million (US$1.8 million) in the
third quarter of 2005, compared to a net gain of Ch$1,307 million
(US$2.5 million) in the same period in 2004. In 3Q 2005, the loss
specific to foreign currency differences amounted to Ch$76 million
(US$0.1 million), compared to a gain of Ch$1,392 million (US$2.6
million) reported in the third quarter of 2004, primarily
attributable to Madeco's operations as a result of exchange rate
differences on foreign

subsidiaries, primarily Brazil and Peru. Price-level restatement
losses amounted to Ch$879 million (US$1.7 million), compared to
losses of Ch$85 million (US$0.2 million) in 3Q 2004.
----------------------
Income Taxes - 3Q 2005
----------------------
Quinenco reported income tax expense of Ch$1,571 million (US$3.0 million),
a variation of Ch$2,320 million (US$4.4 million) from the tax credit of
Ch$749 million (US$1.4 million) reported in the third quarter of 2004 when
Quinenco received tax refunds.
---------------------------
Minority Interest - 3Q 2005
---------------------------
In the third quarter of 2005, Quinenco reported a deduction from income of
Ch$1,775 million (US$3.4 million), compared to a deduction from income of
Ch$2,135 million (US$4.0 million) in 3Q 2004. The amount is mainly related
to minority shareholders' proportionate share of Madeco's and Telefonica
del Sur's third quarter 2005 income.

Current Assets
--------------
Current assets did not vary significantly compared to the second quarter
of 2005.
-----------------------------
Fixed Assets and Other Assets
-----------------------------
Fixed assets decreased by 5.4%. Fixed assets decreased mainly due to a
reduction in fixed assets at Madeco attributable to the effect of the
appreciation of the Chilean peso on US dollar denominated assets. Other
assets did not vary significantly compared to the second quarter of 2005.
-------------------
Current Liabilities
-------------------
Current liabilities increased by 53.2% compared to the second quarter of
2005, reflecting the reclassification of Madeco's long-term debt to the
short-term for those credits that will mature within the next twelve
months and the reclassification of Quinenco's Series B bonds to the ST in
connection with the planned prepayment of those bonds in October.
---------------------
Long-term Liabilities
---------------------
Long-term liabilities declined by 18.0% compared to the second quarter of
2005, mainly attributable to the reclassification of long-term bank
obligations (Madeco) and LT bond obligations (Quinenco) to short-term
liabilities, in accordance with maturity schedules.

3Q 2005 Results
---------------
Banco de Chile's operating revenues increased by 7.3% to Ch$132,912 million
(US$251.2 million) in the third quarter of 2005. The increase in operating
revenues was mainly due to an increase in net financial income, gains on
financial instruments (net) and, to a lesser extent, a higher level of fee
income earned during the quarter.
Operating revenues were boosted by higher net financial income which rose from
Ch$91,479 million (US$172.9 million) in 3Q 2004 to Ch$96,414 million (US$182.2
million) in 3Q 2005. Net financial income, which is calculated as the sum of net
interest revenue and foreign exchange transactions (net), comprised 72.5% of
operating revenues in 3Q 2005. The increase in net financial income was
primarily due to a 1.9% growth in average interest earning assets, mainly
attributable to a 9.8% increase in total loans, higher inflation experienced
during the period and a better asset mix, the effect of which was partially
offset by negative repricing benefits associated with increases in short-term
interest rates and lower spreads. The increase in operating revenues experienced
during the quarter was also attributable to a Ch$3,565 million (US$6.7 million)
increase in gains on the sale of financial instruments (net) which rose from a
negative Ch$2,329 million (US$4.4 million to Ch$1,236 million (US$2.3 million).
Fee income, which reached Ch$35,262 million (US$66.6 million), equivalent to
26.5% of total operating revenues, increased by 1.5% as a result of higher fee
income associated with subsidiary non-banking services, particularly fund
management and stock brokerage and insurance services.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisions amounted to Ch$12,518 million (US$23.7 million), a decrease of 37.6%
from the Ch$20,063 million (US$37.9 million) reported in 3Q 2004. The decline in
3Q 2005 provisions was mainly related to the quality of the bank's loan
portfolio in the context of a healthy economic scenario.
Other income and expenses decreased from Ch$8,192 million (US$15.5 million) to
Ch$6,750 million (US$12.8 million), primarily due to a lower level of loan
recoveries previously charged off, the effect of which was partially offset by
an increase in non-operating income and lower non-operating expenses.
Operating expenses increased by 12.5% to Ch$69,435 million (US$131.2 million)
compared to the third quarter of 2004, mainly attributable to legal and advisory
services associated with the bank's New York branch in connection with
compliance with U.S. regulatory requirements. Likewise, expenses associated with
expansion of the bank's ATM network and increased marketing and advertising
costs also served to drive up 3Q 2005 operating expenses.
Price-level restatement losses totaled Ch$4,779 million (US$9.0 million)
compared to price-level restatement losses of Ch$3,773 million (US$7.1 million)
reported in 3Q 2004. The losses in 3Q 2005 reflect the higher inflation
experienced during the period (1.3% adjustment).
Net income increased by 19.4% to Ch$48,304 million (US$91.3 million) in 3Q 2005.
The increase in net earnings reflect the higher level of operating revenues
earned during the quarter, a lower level of provisions for loan losses and lower
income taxes, the effect of which was offset by an increase in operating
expenses and a decline in recoveries of previously charged-off loans.
As of September 2005, the Bank's loan portfolio (net of interbank loans) had
grown by 11.6% to Ch$7,639,391 million (US$14.4 billion) over the last twelve
month period, mostly related to increases in commercial loans, mortgages, other
outstanding loans, leasing contracts consumer loans and contingent loans, all of
which have been stimulated by the current favorable economic scenario.
Banco de Chile is the third ranked bank in the country with a market share of
17.6% according to information published by the Chilean Superintendency of Banks
for the period ended September 30, 2005. Its return on capital and reserves
after taxes (annualized) reached 32.0%, making it the most profitable bank in
the country for the same period. The Chilean financial system reported a return
on capital and reserves of 18.7%, according to the same source.

3Q 2005 Results
---------------
CCU's sales in the third quarter of 2005 grew by 13.9% compared to the third
quarter of 2004, due to an increase in consolidated sales volumes and higher
average prices. The growth in sales volumes was led by the Chilean beer segment
(+4.9%), the Argentine beer segment (+5.7%), soft drinks, nectar and mineral
water (+3.0%), domestic wines (+19.0%), pisco (+236.2%) and the Argentine wine
segment (+34.0%). These volumes increases were partially offset by lower sales
volumes of the export wine segment (-13.4%). Higher average prices were mostly
attributable to the Chilean beer, pisco and soft drinks segments.
The increase in sales translated directly into an improvement of 18.4% in CCU's
operating income for the period, which reached Ch$9,795 million (US$18.5
million). Although in absolute terms SG&A expenses increased by 12.9%, mainly in
relation to the beer and pisco segments, as a percentage of sales SG&A decreased
from 39.5% in the third quarter of 2004 to 39.1% in 3Q 2005. The consolidated
operating margin, which reflects the seasonality of CCU's business in the winter
months, reached 8.8% of sales, compared to 8.5% in the same period of 2004 and
4.9% in 2Q 2005.
CCU reported non-operating losses of Ch$1,868 million (US$3.5 million) compared
to non-operating losses of Ch$1,612 million (US$3.0 million) in 3Q 2004. The
deterioration in non-operating results was primarily attributable to a reduction
in price-level restatement results and higher interest expense associated with
debt financing of the pisco business segment. An improvement in foreign currency
results and other non-operating income and expenses partially offset the
aforementioned negative effect on non-operating results for the quarter.
Net income jumped by 48.0% to Ch$7,948 million (US$15.0 million) in 3Q 2005.
Quarterly results benefited from the higher sales level achieved which led to a
marked increase in operating income as well as a reduction in income tax expense
and the deduction corresponding to minority interest.

3Q 2005 Results
---------------
Telefonica del Sur's revenues reached Ch$13,498 million (US$25.5 million)
varying only slightly from the Ch$13,678 million (US$25.8 million) reported in
the third quarter of 2004. Nonetheless, the revenue mix continued to favor
non-regulated services such as Internet, security services and business
services. A decline in revenue associated with fixed telephony, access charges,
long distance and public telephony was almost entirely offset by a 25.3%
increase in revenues from Internet, security services, and business services,
including data transmission. While in general terms substitution of fixed
telephony for mobile telephony and other alternatives has continued to capture a
portion of the company's traditional sale base, Telsur has successfully
bolstered its product base to rely on revenue generation from non-regulated
services. Basic telephony services accounted for 46.5% of all revenues, followed
by internet (15.9%), user access charges (10.8%), business and security services
(9.6%), long distance services (7.2%) and public telephones (5.4%) and others
(4.6%).
In spite of the 1.3% decline in sales, lower SG&A expenses led to an increase in
Telsur's operating profit for the quarter of Ch$33 million (US$62 thousand).
Operating profit amounted to Ch$3,332 million (US$6.3 million) for the third
quarter of 2005 and the operating margin increased from 24.1% to 24.7% of sales.
Telsur reported non-operating losses of Ch$710 million (US$1.3 million), down by
31.2% from the non-operating losses of Ch$1,032 million (US$2.0 million)
reported in 3Q 2004. The improvement in non-operating results was primarily
attributable to a reduction in interest expense as a result of a lighter debt
load and lower non-operating expenses.
Telsur reported net income of Ch$2,022 million (US$3.8 million), an increase of
20.6% compared to the third quarter of 2004, mainly as a result of the
aforementioned improvement in non-operating results.

2Q 2005 Results
---------------
Madeco's sales in the third quarter of 2005 decreased by Ch$3,268 million
(US$6.2 million) or 3.7% from Ch$87,855 million (US$166.0 million) to Ch$84,587
million (US$159.8 million), attributable to lower sales of the brass mills and
flexible packaging business units whose sales fell by Ch$2,740 million (US$5.2
million) and Ch$1,250 million (US$2.4 million), respectively. The decline in
sales was partially offset by an increase in sales in the cables and aluminum
profiles units (+Ch$665 million or US$1.3 million). Brass mills sales were
affected by lower volume sales in Chile as well as a decline in coin blank
sales. The flexible packaging unit's sales volume was down by 11.2%, in part due
to the discontinuation of sales of the Alufoil subsidiary. Sales of the wire and
cable business unit (whose principal operation is Ficap Brazil) accounted for
53.1% of total sales, followed by brass mills (26.1%), flexible packaging
(12.6%) and aluminum profiles (8.2%).
In spite of the lower sales level, Madeco managed to increase its operating
income by Ch$318 million (US$0.6 million) to Ch$6,626 million (US$12.5 million),
mainly due to the higher gross margin achieved for its cables products, the
effect of which was partially offset by a decline in the operating income
associated with the brass mills unit. The operating income generated by the
cables unit amounted to Ch$4,390 million (US$8.3 million), an increase of 62.8%
over the third quarter of 2004. The brass mills business unit suffered a
downturn in volumes sold and price pressures from increased competition from
imports, which served to reduce its operating income by Ch$1,730 million (US$3.3
million). Operating income of the wire and cable business unit accounted for
66.2% of total operating income, followed by flexible packaging (15.0%),
aluminum profiles (12.7%) and brass mills (6.1%). The operating margin rose to
7.8% compared to 7.2% one year ago.
Non-operating losses amounted to Ch$3,931 million (US$7.4 million), up from the
Ch$2,036 million (US$3.8 million) reported in 3Q 2004. The increase in
non-operating losses is largely explained by an increase in price-level
restatement losses of Ch$321 million (US$0.6 million) and a reduction in foreign
currency gains of Ch$1,501 million (US$2.8 million) due to exchange rate
variations in foreign subsidiaries in Brazil and Peru.
Madeco reported a net profit of Ch$1,589 million (US$3.0 million) for the third
quarter of 2005, compared to net income of Ch$2,996 million (US$5.7 million) in
3Q 2004. The decline in net quarterly earnings was attributable to the
aforementioned deterioration in non-operating results during the third quarter.
