[Interpreted] Thank you. Good morning to all. Thank you for participating in this CSN conference call to discuss the 2012 results. Participating with me and we have some executive officers. Let us start on Slide 3, where we give you our consolidated results for 2012. Net revenue for 2012, R$16.89 billion a record marking for the company, 2% up compared to that of 2011. Highlights going to record steel sales of 5.8 million tons. Moving to the Company’s strategy to prioritize domestic market demand. Highlighted acquisition – in Germany in February of last year. In the first quarter, the net revenue was R$4.6 billion record 8% up compared to the previous quarter. Gross profit R$4.8 billion in 2012 and 1.4 in the first quarter of 2012 and this one was 17% above that of the third quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA R$4.5 billion or 30% lower than that posted in 2011 of the mining and steel segments, in the first quarter EBITDA was R$1.2 billion, up 14% compared to the third quarter of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 27%, same as posted in the last quarter of 2012. CapEx for 2012 was R$3.1 billion, highlight going into investments in steel R$724 million mining, R$463 million, logistics, R$1.3 billion and cement R$83 million. In the first quarter of 2012, consolidated CapEx was R$788 million. Net income was 316 for the fourth quarter, the result for the year was negative R$481 million, impacted by the accounting reclassification of the losses from the company’s investments in new (indiscernible) which I should highlight did not impacted the company’s cash. If we were to disregard this reclassification, the net income would be R$864 million in 2012. Moving on to slide four where we give you the EBITDA evolution in the last quarter of 2012. EBITDA…

[Interpreted] Antunes, I’ll answer your first question and Martinez is sitting next to me will answer your second question. Okay, on the (indiscernible) and CSN, we expect to have a volume very similar to that of 2011, in other words, exploiting R$29 million tons around that, and maintaining the usual transfers that normally (indiscernible). and as for the first months of 2013, in the first quarter, shipments were a little bit lower than expected particularly because we had a problem in one of the machines that feeds the Casa de Pedra plant, and with that operating issue that we have there at Casa de Pedra mine, we will post a slightly lower figure in the first quarter. Then, mining is certain because we have adopted some mitigating measures to replace that capacity adding machines in the mine and having additional equipment to have further shipment, and as you know, most of the local demand for iron ore did not materialized and the supply on the other hand increased to quite a lot because the supply of [purchases] (ph) did not materialize. In fact, it is now okay at CSN when we were able to include the second car dumper and we have therefore an additional capacity starting over the next week. We are in the phase of making some adjustments to reach full production in the car dumper and the port, which was an important bottleneck, recent use and now I guess is no longer a bottleneck, and at a good timing as well because our competitors were not able to have their additional capacity of purchases that they were expecting. So that, the supply of ore locally has got favorable for us, and we are able to close good contracts with good trends, so that we can offset part of the losses that we were sustaining with that operating problem that we had in Casa de Pedra with (indiscernible) and the additional capacity that we were able to install at the port. So despite of beginning of the year a little bit difficult because that machine broke down and so this structural problem. We were able to offset with some in-house mitigating factors adding to (indiscernible) in the mine and then feeding the plant, and then also with a higher supply that we have now given, but all competitors were not able to deliver because of port issues. We have supply with simulating demand and giving us good conditions for the acquisition overall, so we expect to close a figure most similar to what we had in 2011.

[Interpreted] Renato, good morning this is Martinez. I will try to tell you a little bit about the five points that I always mention, I’ll talk a little bit about supply, demand, and first, which is also very important for 2013, costs which are a bit of a little less relevant at this point, exchange rate, and the competitiveness of the production chains where CSN operates very well. Let’s talk about the economy, let me give you an interesting piece of data. Although the GDP was low 0.9%, this is all known, but still it’s worthwhile highlighting that the industry (indiscernible) negative 0.8%. And in the transformation, the industry where CSN serves, the processing segment was obviously a bit higher. So 2012 was a year which was relatively difficult for the processing industry. We expect a much better outlook for 2013. CSN is working with the GDP growth for the processing industry of 3.2% for 2013. As for supply and demand, the apparent consumption of flat steel in 2012 was about 14 million tons a year and long steel about 11 million. But it’s really worth mentioning in terms of flat is that the 14 million tons of apparent consumption, basically 2.2 million, 2.4 million relative to imports, I am planning that in 2013, imports will not reach 1 million; I believe it will be around 800,000 which means that basically only that volume will go back supply local plants, local mills which is very healthy for our markets. As for the industries, and its interesting information basically civil construction growth estimate would grow about 2% vis-à-vis 2011. Our outlook for 2013 is that this industry will continue to grow sustainably. Again, the households are consuming more both for long steel and for construction. And we need to unlock some…

(Operator Instructions) Leandro Cathy from Deutsche Bank would like to ask a question. Leandro Cathy – Deutsche Bank: [Interpreted] Good morning everyone. Thank you for the opportunity. First question. How much do you intend to invest in 2013? What is the lifecycle and a little bit about iron ore pricing, what is the mix in the spot and contract price and the strong recovery in the fourth quarter were a surprise to the market. So I’d like to have a better understanding of these two points? Thank you.

[Interpreted] Let us start, well, Geraldo our Commercial Officer for Mining will be answering the second question first and then I’ll be answering your question about investments in steel.

[Interpreted] Good morning the price of ore since the second half of last year has been growing very dramatically. We had a peak of $160 in March this year. Ever since then, the price is around $140 per ton. And the price level is way above the market expectation at the end of last year with already recovered prices between quarter three and four and in the first quarter of this year, we expect to have an additional increase in prices due to the follow-up of indexes. Another important variable when it comes to price its freight. Freight has very low historic levels. We have been performing many sales in this modality cost of freight and we can absorb part of our sales margins benefiting from higher prices. For 2013, we expect prices to be above 2012. So, we believe we will be exceeding last year’s results. As a result, our inventories are very low. We have been following this very closely and we believe that 2 million per ton in the beginning of this year, these levels will be back to the inventories and we need ore to maintain our operations. Answering your first question related to our CapEx for steel, just to give an idea, we expect for this year investments amounting to R$400 million in terms of current CapEx for steel and one of the projects we have in mind is to rebuild our coke factory. You know that CSN today is self-sufficient about 65% in coke production from third-party purchase. And obviously we are going to maintain and over time we are also going to expand this number. So this is in our agenda for 2013 and also for 2014.

Thiago Lofiego from Merrill Lynch would like to ask a question. Thiago Lofiego – Merrill Lynch: Good morning everyone. I have two questions. What is the average price for mining? You have the full quarter. It seems to be slightly higher compared to the competition. Could you give us a breakdown of your realized price and also the other factors embedded in the revenue for mining or for ore more specifically? You can have the full revenue embedded. So how can we calculate exactly what each factor was? Second question, what about your third-party purchase slab? We didn’t see that happened in 2011. So what should we expect for the future? Thank you.

[Interpreted] Ore prices that quotation period that is behind, ore prices, in the fourth quarter, we had an average from October, November and December then as a result they were higher compared to previous quarters. Basically, we have three kinds of pricing systems. We have those – lag behind three months backwards, three months that coincide but shipment day and also quotation period related to spot pay-off. In the fourth quarter, our volume was higher, our sales volume was higher. Quotation period coincided with the quarter or with the fourth quarter and the average was higher compared with the third quarter. And we also have some spot pay-offs. And we waited until the right time to sell them. It is the so-called time to market that product was available and we just waited that the timely moment to benefit from the market. So basically that’s the profile of our sales, vis-à-vis our quotation period and the time to market related to the shipment in a more timely manner. Thiago, answering your question related to the flats. Actually, we have preventive maintenance or scheduled maintenance in our steel mills. Thiago, coming back to your question, at the end of last year, we had scheduled maintenance in our steel mills and it eventually led to a reduction of about 150,000 tons of our own flat production. And this shows why we have to resort to the market by approximately 140,000 tons to offset our volumes and as you know CSN is one of the few companies that works at full speed, full capacity and that happened in the second half of 2009 ever since then and we are very proud of it. So whenever the company requires scheduled maintenance, or any other kind of adjustment in production, it is under limit production wise and this happened in the last quarter of last year. And whenever that happens, we will try to supply in order to maintain the company always at full capacity.

Andres Pinheiro from Itau BBA would like to ask a question. Andres Pinheiro – Itau BBA: [Interpreted] Good morning everyone. I have two questions. First question, what about leverage? You could say leverage is higher last year, almost 3.5 times the net debt over EBITDA ratio, how are you handling this? What are the measures that you are considering to lower this average? And the second question, I wonder if you could give us an update as to long steel products, if the project is really expected to happen in the third quarter of this year and what is the volume expected for 2013 and 2014? Thank you.

[Interpreted] Martinez will answer the second question, vis-à-vis the long steel product plant and then I will answer about leverage. Andres, good morning. The long steel plants or the start up is scheduled for August this year. It has already been confirmed this year. Shipment will basically be used to qualify and also to rectify our products. And investments made up to now in this plants were just virtually concluded, it’s about R$1.2 billion. That’s the total. For 2013, the volume is very small virtually related to approval and for 2014, we have a very strong curve, something around 500,000 tons per year since these are products that are – when it comes to technology and also when it comes to logistics and production of the year further controlled. We understand it shouldn’t be a problem for CSN to be in the market. And the market is also growing. Basically, it has 11 million tons per year and CSN accounts for 500,000 tons. So basically that’s our update for long steel products. Now just to give you more details on the long steel product project, sometimes people are not that certain, the part of civil construction has 97% completed. Metal structures, 94%, electro-mechanic assemblies, which is the part that we are basically working now is 62% in line with the electric work at 68%, piping virtually completed around 88% and mechanics also aligned to electro-mechanics at 70%. So for those of you who have following up the construction work, you can see a very good performance. And this year, we intend to invite you all to start-up for the plant start-up and visit our new facility. Thank you. Answering your other question related to the leverage, you know this is one of the main issues that is being currently discussed at CSN. What I can tell you right now is that the company will be maintaining a very stringent attitude when it comes to cash use or cash burn discipline. Our expectation is that this net debt-over-EBITDA ratio is below three times at the end of the year. And basically that will happen due to an increase in EBITDA over the year. Our steel and mining personnel have already given their expectation vis-à-vis the volume. Please bear in mind that now we are in a phase in which investments are very significant in these areas where the company operates in. Our expectation is that the ratio will be slightly below three times by year end and it’s expected to be maintained at the same level for a short time and once our projects already start generating results, we expect these ratios to go down.

Mr. Rodolfo from JP Morgan would like to ask a question. Rodolfo De Angele – JP Morgan: [Interpreted] Good morning. I would like to focus my questions on mining. First of all, I would like to understand more precisely, what is the operating problem that you are facing in the mine? And second and most important question, I wonder if you could – well, I saw the guidance that you just mentioned. However what I’d like to have is an update, I would like to know something about your business plan or the case study for Casa de Pedra and for Namisa. When do you expect to see increased capacity? What has already being done at Namisa more specifically? What are the commitments with partners, both ways? Thank you.

[Interpreted] As to the operating problem we had, it happened in the last weeks of January. Actually, that machine is one of the machines that feeds our processing plants. In other words, it removes the ore from a yard in Casa de Pedra and sends the – to the process at a processing plant. And that’s where all the products come from. This special equipment began to show structural problems. We had some issues and cracks in the equipment structure in the second or third week of January and then at the end of the month we had to shut down the equipment in order to have a technical evaluation, an in-depth evaluation and then take any routine measures necessary to the piece of equipment. At the same time, we also began a plan to try to recover as much as possible the capacity we lose whenever we had to shutdown such a big piece of equipment. Just to give an idea, in our homogenization yard we have four IOs and also forklifts that can work on two IOs simultaneously and obviously two recovery machines. We are taking up one of these recovery machines 52 meters wide and 700 tons. It does take a lot of caution and we really have to be very careful whenever we start any necessary repair. As to mitigating actions that happen in the venture over the last weeks, where we had a real war operation. We allocated some additional equipment both in the mine anticipating parts of the mine purchases cater for this year. So we anticipated part of the CapEx and also equipment for processing that are in the homogenization yard in order to replace the plant’s capacity, we have some hoppers in order to feed the conveyor equipment and they also receive…

(Inaudible) from HSBC would like to ask a question.

[Interpreted] Good morning. My question has to do with the interest in defense group in the American unit. Could you give us an update regarding that process? My second question was to do would you take the interest in the Usiminas? And what do you expect for the future regarding your interest in Usiminas?

[Interpreted] The answer to your first question regarding CFH, as you mean we have a fiduciary obligation of following all of the movements happening in the industry where we operate. We will come to a conclusion that’s here when one has in its DNA working and following a conservative path in terms of acquisition, so what we can handle with? Just as predicted in the past, if there is anything out there that is relevant, it will be immediately informed to the market and to the second question regarding investment in Usimina, this investment beginning financial investment we tried to somehow recover the cash that we invested and we are always looking for the best opportunities for this investment. It is important to point out that we had a division in mid last year there are regulation of authority of – not to make any additional acquisition in the respect of decision by the authorities and we want at the same time to preserve the investment that we made to-date.

Mr. Marcelo Aguiar from Goldman Sachs would like to ask a question. Marcelo Aguiar – Goldman Sachs: [Interpreted] Thank you for the opportunity. Good morning. I would like to go back to the mining issue. On the – explanation regarding the problem in the machine, but it’s not clear to me how much you expect to produce at Casa de Pedra, could you give us some figures? Would that now include how much you produced in the past and the release, how much you expect to produce this year and when will be the start-up of the 40 million and what are the problem number that we claim, we all delayed the start-up of the 40 million. So could you elaborate more on that? My second question is to do with your leverage. You have all the investment and need that to be made, so I would like to have accumulation of your CapEx, if you could breakdown your CapEx for this year total consolidated for the business for this year and for next year. So that we can model the company a little bit better? Daniel will answer your first question and I will answer the second one regarding CapEx.

[Interpreted] Well, we have all the funded production in a consolidated way. On the first page of the release, we have information about iron ore deduction; it was at about 26 million tons last year. The Presidente Vargas mill involved a build up about 7 million tons. This was the total in terms of Casa de Pedra and Namisa production and purchase of ore last year. This year, the consolidated information will be around 36 million tons of which, we will be exporting 29 million tons. As far the impact of the climate on the project with the full capacity which was to the 40 million ton plant, so actually, this is a non-recurring problem. It should default during the year. There will be no direct impact on expansion, expansion will continue in the plant. Answering your second question about the CapEx for this year, we have in our budget worth of about R$3.1 billion to be invested, needs to involve the expansion CapEx and also the current maintenance CapEx. So I was trying to breakdown the figures for you. When we talk about mining as a whole, we estimate R$660 million for cement, R$170 million from the long steel plant R$370 million, also for this year, we are expecting to invest R$1 billion in the Transnordestina Logística, specifically regarding Transnordestina. During the year a makeup in operation where we intend to give you more details regarding what we are doing back to new business for Transnordestina as of now. We are putting together big package – packets are being discussed and we are discussing with the government and this is unfolding quite smoothly we expect to have it signed in the coming months and as soon as we have all of the documentation signed, we will disclose the plan to you. What I can tell you now is that overall, it tackles how the project is going to be financed to local and it’s more clear how are we going to have return on invested capital? So going back to the CapEx because I was trying to break down the figures for you right? So overall, the expansion cut back total R$2.3 billion and in a consolidated term, including steel, mining, we have a current CapEx of another R$900 million. Operator Ivan Fernandes from Barclays would like to ask a question. Ivan Fernandes – Barclays: [Interpreted] Good morning. Just to add to what said before. When it comes to the problem you had in the first quarter and also the change in the logistics or how you transport ore with this add more pressure on cost in the first quarter or why the problem persists or basically will be the same operating cost that you had before? Thank you.

[Interpreted] Actually, there was no significant change in the way we transport ore. In reality, our operating model has three main pillars. The first pillar is Casa de Pedra production followed by Namisa production and lastly ore purchases that we have in the logistics access of MRS. As to cost, we won’t have any significant change. I don’t see any change that might be worth mentioning right now. Anyway what happened is that by and large, we end up by bringing a little bit more ore that is not in-house but like I said before the condition to buy ore abroad are far more favorable compared to previous years. So that most local producers got themselves ready to afford capacity way above what they see today. So the only port that had additional capacity dollars and eventually we buy in a very accretive manner and to some extent, we have formal prices without significant changes.

We have a question in English. Carlos de Alba from Morgan Stanley would like to ask a question. Carlos de Alba – Morgan Stanley: Yes, good morning. Thank you for taking the question. Regarding the CSA assets and the US assets, do you present an offer, because we understand that the timing for present – already passed and we just want to know if CSN presented enough or and if you didn’t, is it because the negotiations with BNDS are delayed, any color on this will be appreciated? And then the other question is regarding your expectation for Transnordestina, just can you give us a little – an idea of when do you think you will be starting to generate revenue out of this project? Thank you very much.

[Interpreted] Carlos, I’ll be answering both questions. First question about CSA. I would like to say that the company up to now and by the way, I stated that before in the document sent to them, we don’t have any binding offer yet when it comes to the acquisition of this asset. And I’d rather avoid making any further comments that my generation is speculation in the market. I can tell you that if the company has any binding offer or any decision related to that we will be making use of legal instruments; we would be announcing that to you. Answering your second question, vis-à-vis Transnordestina, our expectation is that the project to some extent be completed by 2016. By doing so we have a consolidated flow of revenues starting right now or then and not only that, we also have a clear picture of the return of this project. But like I said before, I’d rather wait and do we have the execution of the document, there is very good pathway and as soon as we have the execution of this document, we will prepare a presentation and you are all invited to attend this presentation in which we will be breaking down the whole project, as well as funds, returns, giving you very clear visibility for Transnordestina project.

Rodrigo Barros from – he would like to ask a question.

[Interpreted] Thank you all for the opportunity. I have two questions. My first question has to do with the third-party ore purchase. You might be buying 14 million tons of iron ore from third-parties to have a 29 million goal for exports. Does these figure makes sense? And the second question has to do with the coke plant. You have approximately 1.7 tons of coke and you see coke is either using in its bank, then you would have R$2 million as investment. So how much would be recovered? And do you have any anticipated CapEx for that?

[Interpreted] Rodrigo, I think I answered the first question previously when I broke down the CapEx for maintenance this year. Actually what we have is a reform or revamp of this gold plant at first. In order to maintain our efficiency around 65% or 70% in coke production. Daniel will be answering the second question about third-party ore

[Interpreted] Rodrigo, like I said in the beginning, we announced our amounts in a consolidated basis. So when we add Casa de Pedra, Namisa production and iron ore purchase, our expectation is 36 million tons and another piece of information is that, because we don’t operate by traders. This kind of information what it gets to us it will create us, is not official information by the company be turned. The trader is in charge of that we buy directly. But what I can tell you is this, consolidated production is 36 million tons and 29 will be submitted for exports.

There are no further questions. So we would like to turn the floor over to the company’s officers for the closing remarks.

[Interpreted] Once again we would like to thank you all for being with us for this conference call. Our IR team is at your service for any other questions that remain unanswered. Have a great day.

Thank you. This concludes today’s CSN’s earnings conference call. You may disconnect your lines now at this time. Have a good day.
