(BMV: GISSA) ( The Company, GIS, GISSA or The Group ), a Mexican leading industrial conglomerate with a solid portfolio of products and brands, announced today its 2014 second quarter earnings results. The figures in this report have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ), and presented in millions of nominal Mexican pesos, unless otherwise stated (in millions of U.S. nominal dollars) and can vary due to rounding.

Earnings Release 2Q14 2 Highlights During the second quarter of the year, the revenues presented a 7% growth when compared to the 2Q13. The Auto Parts Segment presented a solid growth of 30% YoY, as a result of our investments in capacity expansions, in response to the dynamic growth of the Automotive Industry in the region. Construction and Housewares Segments presented a 5% and 2% decrease, respectively, given the weak consumption environment present in the Mexican economy. The consolidated export sales represented 53% of the total revenues. The operating income, EBIT, in 2Q14 presented a 33% growth when compared to the same period of last year, reaching Ps.129 million. It is important to note that all three Business Segments of the Company report favorable results versus 2Q13. The Auto Parts Segment EBIT increased by 25%, mostly driven by a higher volume demand, higher efficiencies and a favorable exchange rate; Construction Segment reverted the Ps.10 million loss recorded in the 2Q13, to reach a profit of Ps.11 million; and finally, Housewares showed a 31% growth, the performance of the last two segments was mostly supported by operational efficiencies. 2Q14 EBITDA result was Ps.232 million, 24% higher when compared to 2Q13. The EBITDA margin to sales presented a significant expansion in a yearly basis, going from 8.8% to 10.1%. The cash flow generation, before investments for expansions, reached Ps.276 million. Net Income for the 2Q14 reached Ps.90 million, 11% higher when compared to 2Q13. This improvement is more significant considering the Ps.18 million of benefits recorded in the 2Q13 from the Comprehensive Financing Result (CFR), while in 2Q14 CFR results were only Ps.4 million. As of June 30, 2014, cash & equivalents amounted to Ps.2,037 million and bank debt registered Ps.385 million. In 2Q14 CAPEX reached Ps.134 million. It is important to emphasize that, in compliance of the accounting and financial standards, cash & equivalents corresponding to the entity constituted by the JV with TRW, Ps.150 million, were not integrated into the consolidated cash & equivalents of the Company since this amount was recorded as an investment in associates and joint ventures. On June 10 th the joint venture (JV) established with Kelsey Hayes Company, subsidiary of TRW Automotive Holdings was duly formalized. The total investment in this JV will be approximately US$120 million dedicated to a green field foundry project which, once completed, will reach a volume of 52,000 metric tons of high integrity ductile iron castings; this investment considers the construction of a machining shop as well. The start of production of the JV is expected to occur by 3Q15. On June 16 th we started the operations of a new production line for assembling domestic Tankless Water Heaters (Calentadores Instantáneos), becoming the first manufacturer of this type of products in Mexico. On June 26 th the new Auto Parts foundry plant in S.L.P., Mexico, was inaugurated. The amount invested was US$65. This new plant has 60,000 metric tons of foundry capacity for the production of grey and ductile iron castings. GIS foundry capacity now reaches a total of 240,000 metric tons including this new plant.
Earnings Release 2Q14 3 Comments from the Chief Executive Officer Jose Manuel Arana Escobar, CEO of GIS, stated: In this my first quarter at GIS, I see a strong commitment to planning and executing the strategy that will allow us to generate value and to grow at an accelerated rhythm. The productivity, savings and efficiencies that we have reached in the Construction and Houseware Segments allowed us to reduce the effects of a slow recovery of the consumption in México. We are responding to NAFTA s Automotive Segment momentum by taking advantage of our installed capacity and recent expansions. We will maintain our focus on customer satisfaction by delivering quality and service. We will also continue to be alert for exploring alternatives that may bring additional profitable growth to the Company Revenues by Segment Net revenues (millions) 2Q14 2Q13 % 6M14 6M13 % Mexican Pesos 2,294 2,141 7% 4,709 4,327 9% Auto Parts 929 715 30% 1,840 1,392 32% Construction 1,055 1,105 (5%) 2,264 2,288 (1%) Housewares 318 324 (2%) 620 654 (5%) US Dollars 176 172 3% 359 344 4% Auto Parts 71 57 25% 140 111 27% Construction 81 89 (8)% 173 182 (5)% Housewares 24 26 (6)% 47 52 (9)%

Earnings Release 2Q14 5 Quarter Results Auto Parts Overview Auto Parts revenues represented 40% of the consolidated revenues during the 2Q14. This segment s contribution is higher than the 33% registered in the 2Q13, driven by the utilization of our capacity expansions. On June 26 th the Mexican Minister of Economy, Mr. Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal, and the Governor of San Luis Potosi, Mr. Fernando Toranzo Fernandez, attended the inauguration ceremony of our new foundry plant as honored guests. The US$65 million investment for the construction of this plant will allow us to generate 220 new jobs, as well as reach 240 thousand metric tons of total foundry capacity for the group. As mentioned before,, the expansion of the plant in San Luis Potosi will have a utilization ramp up, a common standard in the automotive sector.

When measured in Mexican pesos, the increase amounts to 30%, mostly explained by: (i) a higher volume, (ii) a better exchange rate, and (iii) favorable prices and sales mix. The increase in the sales volume is related to the expansions over the recent years in the plants located in Saltillo and Irapuato, and recently in San Luis Potosi.

Earnings Release 2Q14 7 Construction Outlook The Construction Segment revenues during the 2Q14 represented 46% of the consolidated revenues, a lower proportion compared to the 52% registered in 2Q13. This reduction is mostly a result of the higher participation of the Auto Parts Segment in our business portfolio. The graphs below show the breakdown of revenues for the Construction Segment: Revenues Revenues (millions) 2Q14 2Q13 % 6M14 6M13 % Revenues (Mexican Pesos)* Ceramic Tiles Water Heaters Pipe Fittings 1,055 1,105 (5%) 2,264 2,288 (1%) 667 710 (6%) 1,396 1,414 (1%) 301 302 (0%) 684 689 (1%) 90 97 (8%) 194 192 1% *Figures presented in millions of Mexican Pesos, given that sales in the domestic market represented 75% of the total sales of this Segment in the 2Q14 During the 2Q14, the revenues of the Construction Segment decreased by 5% when compared to 2Q13. Ceramic Tiles and Pipe Fittings Businesses decreased by 6% and 8%, respectively, when compared to 2Q13, as a consequence of the contraction that has prevailed in the new housing construction sector. The Water Heaters business maintained its revenue level, supported by a strong marketing and sales strategy geared towards servicing new small and medium regional builders.
Earnings Release 2Q14 8 On June 16th we started the operations of a new production line for assembling domestic Tankless Water Heaters (Calentadores Instantáneos ), becoming the first manufacturer of this type of products in Mexico. In this line, exhaustive inspections and testing are performed to validate the safety and expected performance of the product s components. This production line will allow us to replace most of the volume of this type of products that the Company has been importing, and will result in a significant decrease in transportation costs.

This progress is explained by the optimization of the production levels that were matched to a low growth environment. The results from this measure were enhanced by favorable effects in price and sales mix, as well as for reductions in operating expenses. As a consequence, the 2Q14 EBITDA reflected a significant growth of 74%, going from Ps.28 million in the 2Q13 to Ps.49 million in the 2Q14. The projects implemented to increase the productivity should generate higher benefits during the next two quarters of the year due to a greater seasonality demand of our products.
Earnings Release 2Q14 9 Overview Revenues from the Housewares Segment for 2Q14 represented 14% of the consolidated revenues, almost in line with the 15% registered in the 2Q13.

This decrease is linked to the weakness of the internal consumption in Mexico, as well as the effect of the dynamism recorded in the 2Q13 of the promotional and catalogue channel sales. It is important to mention that the promotional and catalogue channel sales demand depends upon the programs of our customers.
