INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Shareholders, Directors and Management of

Ultrapar Participações S.A.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Company”), identified as parent and consolidated, respectively, which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2016, and the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the individual and consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of the Ultrapar Participações S.A. and its subsidiaries as at December 31, 2016, and their individual and consolidated financial performance and their individual and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

Basis for Opinion

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverable amount of Imifarma’s goodwill

The impairment test of the goodwill of Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Imifarma”) was considered a key audit matter because it involves Management’s estimate and judgment in establishing the assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount based on the discounted cash flow model and the sensitivity and subjectivity of key assumptions, i.e., the revenue growth rate, the costs and expenses for the projection period, the growth rate for perpetuity and the discount rate. This matter was considered a significant audit risk and significantly involved, therefore, our attention and our judgment. We assessed the design, implementation and effectiveness of the relevant internal controls determined by Management on the goodwill impairment testing. In order to address the goodwill impairment risk, among other procedures, we tested the impairment test prepared by Management with the assistance of an internal fair value specialist to determine the reasonableness of the model used, make the mathematical recalculation of the discounted cash flows, and test the components of the discount rate, taking into account market and industry benchmarks. We also conducted a retrospective analysis of realized earnings as opposed to future earnings projections and a comparative analysis of the growth rates and the margins as opposed to other players in the pharmaceutical retail segment and economic indicators, and finally a sensitivity analysis of the key assumptions determined by Management. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to Imifarma’s goodwill impairment test, disclosed in Note 13 to the financial statements.

Fire in Santos terminal

The fire in Santos terminal in 2015 was considered a key audit matter in our current audit work because it is an unusual event and involves Management’s exercising judgment and making estimates in applying the relevant accounting policy and in measuring, recognizing and disclosing the environmental risks, the assets related to the insurance claim receivable from insurance companies and customers’ and third-parties’ compensation liabilities. Accordingly, this matter was classified as a significant unusual transaction and significantly involved, therefore, our attention and our judgment. We assessed the balances recorded as indemnity assets and liabilities by analyzing the insurance policies, the insurance indemnity agreements, the contracts with customers, the listing of customer and third-party claims and litigation, and confirmation replies from the outside legal counsel. Additionally, we analyzed the legal opinion and external reports on the assessment of environmental impacts and challenged Management assumptions with the assistance of an internal sustainability specialist, in order to assess the reasonableness of the measurement and recognition of the impacts of the fire. We assessed the representations from the internal legal department and considered the related subsequent events after the end of the 2016 reporting period, including the confirmation replies from the outside legal counsel. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures made in Notes 20.b.2.2) and 33 to the financial statements.

Administrative proceedings brought by the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE)

The analysis of the impacts of the administrative proceedings brought by the CADE in 2016 was considered a key audit matter due to its complexity and because it involves Management judgment regarding the assessment of the likelihood of loss and the disclosure in the financial statements. We involved senior engagement team members to challenge Management’s analyses. We tested Management’s analysis through inquiries to the internal legal department, the outside legal counsel and the Company’s Management, and obtaining of a legal opinion from the outside legal counsel and formal representations from the Company’s legal department and Management. We challenged the main assumptions used by Management on the likelihood of loss, assessed the contradictory evidence and involved specialists on technical standards and accounting professionals to assess the accounting and disclosure impacts. We also assessed the adequacy of the disclosures related to said administrative proceedings, disclosed in Note 20.b.2.3) to the financial statements.

Other Matters

Statements of value added

The individual and consolidated statements of value added (“DVA”) for the year ended December 31, 2016, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, and presented as supplemental information for IFRS, were subject to auditing procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. In forming our opinion, we assessed whether these statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and whether its form and content are in accordance with the criteria prescribed by technical pronouncement CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, these statements of value added are fairly presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set out in this technical pronouncement and are consistent in relation to the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Other Information Accompanying the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements and the Independent Auditor’s Report

Management is responsible for such other information. The other information comprises the Management Report .

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether such report is materially inconsistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), issued by the IASB, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these individual and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

    Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

 

    Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

    Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

 

    Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue as going concerns. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as going concerns.

 

    Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the individual and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

 

    Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.

Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Ultrapar” or “Company”) is a publicly-traded company headquartered at the Brigadeiro Luis Antônio Avenue, 1343 in the city of Săo Paulo – SP, Brazil.

The Company engages in the investment of its own capital in services, commercial, and industrial activities, through the subscription or acquisition of shares of other companies. Through its subsidiaries, it operates in the segments of liquefied petroleum gas—LPG distribution (“Ultragaz”), fuel distribution and related businesses (“Ipiranga”), production and marketing of chemicals (“Oxiteno”), and storage services for liquid bulk (“Ultracargo”) and retail distribution of pharmaceutical, hygiene, beauty, and skincare products, through Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”). For further information about segments see Note 30.

 

2. Presentation of Financial Statements and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil.

The accounting practices adopted in Brazil comprise the Brazilian Corporate Law and the Pronouncements, Guidelines and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and approved by the Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

All relevant specific information of the financial statements, and only this information, is being presented and correspond to that used by the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ Management.

The presentation currency of the Company’s individual and consolidated financial statements is the Brazilian Real (“R$”), which is the Company’s functional currency.

The Company and its subsidiaries applied the accounting policies described below in a consistent manner for all years presented in the individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

a. Recognition of Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of sales returns, discounts, and other deductions, if applicable.

Revenue from sales of fuels and lubricants is recognized when the products are delivered to gas stations and to large consumers. Revenue from sales of LPG is recognized when the products are delivered to customers at home, to independent dealers and to industrial and commercial customers. Revenue from sales of pharmaceuticals is recognized when the products are delivered to end user customers in own drugstores and when the products are delivered to independent resellers. Revenue from sales of chemical products is recognized when the products are delivered to industrial customers, depending of the freight mode of delivery. The revenue provided from storage services is recognized as services are performed.

Costs of products sold and services provided include goods (mainly fuels, lubricants, LPG, and pharmaceutical products), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage, and filling costs.

 

b. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Includes cash, banks deposits, and short-term, highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. See Note 4 for further details on cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries.

c. Financial Assets

In accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 32, IAS 39, and IFRS 7 (CPC 38, 39 and 40 (R1)), the financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are classified in accordance with the following categories:

 

  Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets held for trading, that is, acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, and derivatives. The balances are stated at fair value. The interest earned, the exchange variation, and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

 

  Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, and fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned, using the effective interest rate method.

 

  Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that are not classified into other categories at initial recognition. The balances are stated at fair value, and the interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recognized in other comprehensive income in the “Valuation adjustments”. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in shareholders’ equity are reclassified to profit or loss in case of prepayment.

 

    Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in an active market, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the near term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those for which the Company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss. The balances are stated at acquisition cost plus interest, using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables include cash and banks, trade receivables, dividends receivable, and other trade receivables.

The Company and its subsidiaries use financial instruments for hedging purposes, applying the concepts described below:

 

  Hedge accounting—fair value hedge: financial instruments used to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of an item, attributable to a particular risk, which can affect the entity’s profit or loss. In the initial designation of the fair value hedge, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is documented, including the objectives of risk management, the strategy in conducting the transaction, and the methods to be used to evaluate its effectiveness. Once the fair value hedge has been qualified as effective, the hedge item is also measured at fair value. Gains and losses from hedge instruments and hedge items are recognized in profit or loss. The hedge accounting must be discontinued when the hedge becomes ineffective.

 

  Hedge accounting—cash flow hedge: financial instruments used to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a risk associated with an asset or liability or highly probable transaction or firm commitment that may affect the income statements. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective relating to the effects of exchange rate effect, is recognized directly in equity in accumulated other comprehensive income as “Valuation adjustments” while the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of this hedge that had been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss or as initial cost of non- financial assets, in the same line of the statement that the hedged item is recognized. The hedge accounting shall be discontinued when (i) the Company cancels the hedging relationship; (ii) the hedging instrument expires; and (iii) the hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. When hedge accounting is discontinued, gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the period which the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss. If the transaction hedged is canceled or is not expected to occur, the cumulative gains and losses in other comprehensive income in equity shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

  Hedge accounting—hedge of net investments in foreign operation: financial instruments used to hedge exposure on net investments in foreign subsidiaries due to the fact that the local functional currency is different from the functional currency of the Company. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective, referring to the exchange rate effect, is recognized directly in equity in accumulated other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments, while the ineffective portion and the operating costs are recognized in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be recognized in income upon disposal of the foreign operation.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 4, 14, and 31.

 

d. Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at the amount invoiced, adjusted to present value if applicable, and includes all direct taxes attributable to the Company and its subsidiaries. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on estimated losses and is set at an amount deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any probable loss on realization of trade receivables (see Notes 5 and 31—Customer Credit Risk).

 

e. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost or net realizable value (see Note 6). The cost value of inventory is measured using the weighted average cost and includes the costs of acquisition and processing directly related to the units produced based on the normal capacity of production. Estimates of net realizable value are based on the average selling prices at the end of the reporting period, net of applicable direct selling expenses. Subsequent events related to the fluctuation of prices and costs are also considered, if relevant. If net realizable values are below inventory costs, a provision corresponding to this difference is recognized. Provisions are also made for obsolescence of products, materials, or supplies that (i) do not meet the Company and its subsidiaries’ specifications, (ii) have exceeded their expiration date, or (iii) are considered slow-moving inventory. This classification is made by management with the support of its industrial and operations teams.

 

f. Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the individual financial statements of the parent company.

A subsidiary is an investee in which the investor is entitled to variable returns on investment and has the ability to interfere in its financial and operational activities. Usually the equity interest in a subsidiary is more than 50%.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the individual and consolidated financial statements (see Note 11).

An associate is an investment, in which an investor has significant influence, that is, has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the investee but does not exercise control.

A joint venture is an investment in which the shareholders have the right to net assets on behalf of a joint control. Joint control is the agreement which establish that decisions about the relevant activities of the investee require the consent from the parties that share control.

Other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for losses, unless the loss is considered temporary.

g. Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment is recognized at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant, and equipment under construction, as well as maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages and estimated costs to remove, to decommission, or to restore assets (see Notes 2.m and 19).

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, over the periods mentioned in Note 12, taking into account the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are reviewed annually.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the lease contract term and useful life of the property.

 

h. Leases

 

  Finance Leases

Certain lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are capitalized at lease commencement at their fair value or, if lower, present value of the minimum lease payments under the contracts. The items recognized as assets are depreciated and amortized using the lower of the straight-line method over the lower of the useful lives applicable to each group of assets or the contract terms, as mentioned in Notes 12 and 13. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to profit or loss over the lease contract term, based on the amortized cost and the effective interest rate method of the related lease obligation (see Note 14.i).

 

  Operating Leases

There are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where there is no purchase option, or the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as cost or expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract (see Note 32.c).

 

i. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the criteria below (see Note 13):

 

  Goodwill is carried net of accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated since January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible assets corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity, and is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the business segments, which represent the lowest level that goodwill is monitored by the Company for impairment testing purposes.

 

  Bonus disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recognized as distribution rights when paid and amortized using the straight-line method according to the term of the agreement.

 

  Other intangible assets acquired from third parties, such as software, technology, and commercial property rights, are measured at the total acquisition cost and amortized using straight-line method, over the periods mentioned in Note 13, taking into account their useful life, which is reviewed annually.

The Company and its subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that were generated internally. The Company and its subsidiaries have goodwill and brands acquired in business combinations, which are evaluated as intangible assets with indefinite useful life (see Note 13 items i and vi).

j. Other Assets

Other assets are stated at the lower of cost and realizable value, including, if applicable, interest earned, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred or less a provision for loss and, if applicable, adjustment to present value (see Note 2.u).

 

k. Financial Liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables, loans, debentures, finance leases and derivative financial instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as “financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” or “financial liabilities at amortized cost”. The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss refer to derivative financial instruments, subscription warrants, and financial liabilities designated as hedged items in a fair value hedge relationship upon initial recognition (see Note 2.c – Fair Value Hedge). The financial liabilities at amortized cost are stated at the initial transaction amount plus related charges and net of amortization and transaction costs. The charges are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.

Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the activities necessary for contracting loans or for issuing bonds, as well as premiums and discounts upon issuance of debentures and other debt, are allocated to the instrument and amortized to profit or loss over its term, using the effective interest rate method (see Note 14.j). Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the issue of shares or other equity instruments are recognized in equity and are not amortized.

 

l. Income and Social Contribution Taxes on Income

Current and deferred income tax (“IRPJ”) and social contribution on net income tax (“CSLL”) are calculated based on their current rates, considering the value of tax incentives. Taxes are recognized based on the rates of IRPJ and CSLL provided for by the laws enacted on the last day of the financial statements. The current rates in Brazil are 25% for income tax and 9% for social contribution on net income tax. For further details about recognition and realization of IRPJ and CSLL, see Note 9.

 

m. Provision for Asset Retirement Obligation – Fuel Tanks

The Company and its subsidiaries have the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded service stations after a certain period. The estimated cost of the obligation to remove these fuel tanks is recognized as a liability when the tanks are installed. The estimated cost is recognized in property, plant, and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful lives of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are monetarily restated using the National Consumer Price Index—IPCA until the respective tank is removed (see Note 19). An increase in the estimated cost of the obligation to remove the tanks could result in negative impact in future results. The estimated removal cost is reviewed and updated annually or when there is significant change in its amount and change in the estimated costs are recognized in income when they become known.

 

n. Provisions for Tax, Civil, and Labor Risks

A provision for tax, civil and labor risks is recognized for quantifiable risks, when the chance of loss is more-likely-than-not in the opinion of management and internal and external legal counsel, and the amounts are recognized based on the evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 20).

 

o. Post-Employment Benefits

Post-employment benefits granted and to be granted to employees, retirees, and pensioners are based on an actuarial calculation prepared by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method (see Note 18.b). The actuarial gains and losses are recognized in cumulative other comprehensive income in the “Valuation adjustments” and presented in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Past service cost is recognized in the income statement.

p. Other Liabilities

Other liabilities are stated at known or measurable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary restatement, and changes in exchange rates incurred. When applicable, other liabilities are recognized at present value, based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency, and risk of each transaction.

 

q. Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transactions carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries are remeasured into their functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of each transaction. Outstanding monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the financial statements. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in profit or loss until the conclusion of each transaction.

 

r. Basis for Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Brazilian Real), which have administrative autonomy, are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting year. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate of each year and shareholders’ equity is translated at the historic exchange rate of each transaction affecting shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in shareholders’ equity in cumulative other comprehensive income in the “cumulative translation adjustments” and will be recognized in profit or loss if these investments are disposed of. The balance in cumulative other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments in 2016 was a gain of R$ 7,519 (gain of R$ 66,925 in 2015)—see Note 23.f.

The foreign subsidiaries with functional currency different from the Company and which have administrative autonomy are listed below:

 

Subsidiary

   Mexican Peso    Mexico

Oxiteno Servicios Corporativos S.A. de C.V.

Oxiteno USA LLC

   U.S. Dollar    United States

Oxiteno Andina, C.A.

   Bolivar    Venezuela

Oxiteno Uruguay S.A.

   U.S. Dollar    Uruguay

The subsidiary Oxiteno Uruguay S.A. (“Oxiteno Uruguay”) determined its functional currency as the U.S. dollar (“US$”), as its sales, purchases of goods, and financing activities are performed substantially in this currency.

According to IAS 29, Venezuela is classified as a hyperinflationary economy. As a result, the financial information of Oxiteno Andina, C.A. (“Oxiteno Andina”) was adjusted by the Venezuelan Consumer Price Index.

On March 9, 2016, the Venezuelan Central Bank issued Foreign Exchange Regulation No. 35, effective beginning March 10, 2016, altering the Venezuelan foreign exchange markets and regulating the legally recognized types of exchange rates:

a) DIPRO—Tipo de Cambio Protegido (Exchange Protected): Bolivar (“VEF”) is traded at an exchange rate of 9.975 VEF/US$ for purchase and 10.00 VEF/US$ for sale. This rate is applied to importation of essential goods (medicines and food) and raw materials and inputs related to the production of these sectors, which transactions are channeled through CENCOEX—Centro Nacional de Comercio Exterior en Venezuela;

b) DICOM—Tipo de Cambio Complementario Flotante de Mercado Supplemental (Floating Market Exchange): Bolivar is traded at the variable exchange rate of 673.7617 VEF/US$ for sale and reduced by 0.25% for purchase. This rate is applied to all unforeseen currency settlement transactions not expressly set forth in the Foreign Exchange Regulation, which transactions are processed through alternative currency markets.

The types of exchange rates previously regulated by the Foreign Exchange Regulation No. 33 were extinguished.

Due to the political and economic situation in Venezuela, the Company’s management reassessed the exchange rate used in the translation of financial statements and changed, on December 31, 2015, the rate from SICAD—Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas to SIMADI—Sistema Marginal de Divisas, due to the fact that currently this exchange rate is the one that most closely matches the best expression of the Venezuelan economy. Thus, beginning December 31, 2015, the amounts in Bolivar have been translated to the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate of SIMADI and subsequently translated into Brazilian Reais using the official exchange rate published by the Central Bank of Brazil. Due to the Foreign Exchange Regulation No. 35, beginning March 10, 2016, the Company began to use the DICOM exchange rate in the translation.

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have administrative autonomy, are considered an extension of the activities of their parent company and are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting year. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income or loss. The gain recognized in income in 2016 amounted to R$ 3,425 (R$ 6,243 gain in 2015).

 

s. Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments for the accounting of certain assets, liabilities, and income. Therefore, the Company’s and subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The financial statements therefore include estimates, assumptions, and judgments related mainly to determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 2.c, 2.k, 4, 14 and 31), the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts (Notes 2.d, 5 and 31), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Notes 2.e and 6), the determination of deferred income taxes amounts (Notes 2.l and 9), the determination of control in subsidiaries (Notes 2.f, 2.r, 3 and 11.a), the determination of joint control in joint venture (Notes 2.f, 11.a and 11.b), the determination of significant influence in associates (Notes 2.f and 11.c), the determination of exchange rate used to translation of Oxiteno Andina’ information (Note 2.r), the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment (Notes 2.g and 12), the useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill (Notes 2.i and 13), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Notes 2.m and 19), provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks (Notes 2.n and 20), estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Notes 2.o and 18.b) and the determination of fair value of subscription warrants – indemnification (Notes 22 and 31). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from their estimates.

 

t. Impairment of Assets

The Company and its subsidiaries review, at least annually, the existence of any indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication, the Company and its subsidiaries estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. Assets that cannot be evaluated individually are grouped in the smallest group of assets that generate cash flow from continuous use and that are largely independent of cash flows of other assets (cash generating units -“CGU”). The recoverable amount of assets or CGUs corresponds to the greater of their fair value net of applicable direct selling costs and their value in use.

The fair value less costs of disposal is determined by the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, net of costs of removing the asset, and direct incremental costs to bring an asset into condition for its sale, legal costs, and taxes.

To assess the value in use, the Company and its subsidiaries consider the projections of future cash flows, trends, and outlooks, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. Such cash flows are discounted to their present values using the discount rate before tax that reflects market conditions for the period of impairment testing and the specific risks of the asset or CGU being evaluated. In cases where the expected discounted future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of these assets. Losses for impairment of assets are recognized in profit or loss. In case goodwill has been allocated to a CGU, the recognized losses are first allocated to reduce the corresponding goodwill. If the goodwill is not enough to absorb such losses, the surplus is allocated to the assets on a pro-rata basis. An impairment of goodwill cannot be reversed. For other assets, impairment losses may be reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if the impairment had not been recognized.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company recognized an impairment loss for subsidiary Oxiteno Andina (see Note 13.i).

 

u. Adjustment to Present Value

The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as non-current and, when relevant, current assets and liabilities, and did not identify the need to recognize present value adjustments.

 

v. Business Combination

A business combination is accounted applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured based on the consideration transferred and to be transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. In a business combination, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured in order to classify and allocate them accordingly to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions on the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest in the acquired is measured at fair value or based on its interest in identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred and to be transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired (identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, net). After the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the Company’s operating segments. When the cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, a gain is recognized directly in the income statement. Costs related to the acquisition are recorded in the income statement when incurred.

 

w. Statements of Value Added

As required by Brazilian Corporate Law, the Company and its subsidiaries prepare the individual and consolidated statements of value added (“DVA”) according to CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added, as an integral part of the financial statements as applicable to publicly-traded companies, and as supplemental information for IFRS, which does not require the presentation of DVA.

 

x. Statements of Cash Flows

The Company and its subsidiaries prepared its individual and consolidated statements of cash flows in accordance with IAS 7 (CPC 03)—Cash Flow Statement. The Company and its subsidiaries present the interest paid on loans and debentures in financing activities.

 

y. Adoption of the Pronouncements Issued by CPC and IFRS

The following standards, amendments, and interpretations to IFRS were issued by the IASB but are not yet effective and were not adopted as of December 31, 2016:

z. Authorization for Issuance of the Financial Statements

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 22, 2017.

 

3. Principles of Consolidation, Investments in Subsidiaries and Acquisition Under to Approval

 

  a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements were prepared following the basic principles of consolidation established by IFRS 10 (CPC 36 (R3)). Investments of one company in another, balances of asset and liability accounts, and revenues and expenses were eliminated, as well as the effects of transactions conducted between the companies. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented within consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the parent company obtains direct or indirect control over a company and ceases when the parent company loses control of a company. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired are included in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income from the date the parent company gains the control. Income and expenses of a subsidiary, in which the parent company loses control, are included in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income until the date the parent company loses control.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company’s accounting policies.

(1)  On August 4, 2016, the Company through its subsidiary Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”) entered into an association agreement with Chevron Brasil Lubrificantes Ltda. (“Chevron”) to create a new company in the lubricants market. Under this agreement, the association will be formed by Ipiranga’s and Chevron’s lubricants operations in Brazil. Ipiranga and Chevron will hold 56% and 44%, respectively, of the new company’s capital. On February 9, 2017, this transaction was approved without restrictions through an opinion issued by the General Superintendence (“SG”) of the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (“CADE”).

c. Deferred Stock Plan

On April 27, 2001, the General Shareholders’ Meeting approved a benefit plan to members of management and employees in executive positions in the Company and its subsidiaries. On November 26, 2003, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved certain amendments to the original plan of 2001 (the “Deferred Stock Plan”). In the Deferred Stock Plan, certain members of management of the Company and its subsidiaries have the voting and economic rights of shares and the ownership of these shares is retained by the subsidiaries of the Company. The Deferred Stock Plan provides for the transfer of the ownership of the shares to those eligible members of management after five to ten years from the initial concession of the rights subject to uninterrupted employment of the participant during the period. The total number of shares to be used for the Deferred Stock Plan is subject to the availability in treasury of such shares. It is incumbent on Ultrapar’s executive officers to select the members of management eligible for the plan and propose the number of shares in each case for approval by the Board of Directors. The fair value of the awards were determined on the grant date based on the market value of the shares on the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBOVESPA”), the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange and the amounts are amortized between five and ten years from the grant date.

(i) Nondeductible expenses consist of certain expenses that cannot be deducted for tax purposes under applicable tax legislation, such as expenses with fines, donations, gifts, losses of assets, negative effects of foreign subsidiaries and certain provisions;
(ii) Nontaxable revenues consist of certain gains and income that are not taxable under applicable tax legislation, such as the reimbursement of taxes and the reversal of certain provisions;
(iii) Brazilian tax law allows for an alternative method of taxation for companies that generated gross revenues of up to R$ 78 million in their previous fiscal year. Certain subsidiaries of the Company adopted this alternative form of taxation, whereby income and social contribution taxes are calculated on a basis equal to 32% of operating revenues, as opposed to being calculated based on the effective taxable income of these subsidiaries. The adjustment to estimated income represents the difference between the taxation under this alternative method and the income and social contribution taxes that would have been paid based on the effective statutory rate applied to the taxable income of these subsidiaries; and
(iv) Interest on equity is an option set forth in the Brazilian corporate law to distribute profits to shareholders, calculated based on the long-term interest rate (“TJLP”), which does not affect the income statement, but is deductible for purposes of IRPJ and CSLL.

On December 31, 2016, the Company tested the balances of goodwill shown in the table above for impairment. The determination of value in use involves assumptions, judgments, and estimates of cash flows, such as growth rates of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of investments and working capital, and discount rates. The assumptions about growth projections and future cash flows are based on the Company’s business plan of its operating segments, as well as comparable market data, and represent management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist over the economic life of the various CGUs, to which goodwill is related. The main key-assumptions used by the Company to calculate the value in use are described below:

Period of evaluation: the evaluation of the value in use is calculated for a period of five years (except the Extrafarma segment), after which we calculate the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely. For the Extrafarma segment, a period of 10 years was used due to its expansion plan and considering a three-years period to maturity of new stores.

Discount and real growth rates: on December 31, 2016, the discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 10.4% to 16.6% and from 0% to 1% p.a., respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed. For the subsidiary Oxiteno Andina, due to the macroeconomic scenario in Venezuela, the discount rate used was 287.9%.

Revenue from sales and services, costs and expenses, and gross margin: for 2017, the budget prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors was considered. In subsequent periods, the Company considers the forecast of the general inflation or price index predicted in the contracts.

Opening of new commercial points (investments): for 2017, the budget prepared by the management and approved by the Board of Directors was considered. In subsequent periods, the Company considers the expansion plans of each business unit, which also considers the commercial establishments closed in the previously years.

The goodwill impairment tests and net assets of the Company and its subsidiaries result in the recognition of losses in the amount of the R$ 2,114, which correspond to R$ 1,695 related to goodwill and R$ 419 related to other intangible assets from subsidiary Oxiteno Andina (see “others” in the table above) for the year ended December 31, 2016. The main reason for the impairment recognized is Venezuela’s political and economic situation.

The Company assessed a sensitivity analysis of discount and growth rate of perpetuity, due to their significant impact on cash flows and value in use. An increase of 0.5 percentage points in the discount rate or a decrease of 0.5 percentage points in the growth rate of the perpetuity of the cash flow of each business segment would not result in the recognition of impairment.

ii) Software includes user licenses and costs for the implementation of the various systems used by the Company and its subsidiaries, such as: integrated management and control, financial management, foreign trade, industrial automation, operational and storage management, accounting information, and other systems.

iii) The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste and Oleoquímica Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Químicos Ltda. (“Oleoquímica”) recognize as technology certain rights of use held by them. Such licenses include the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, ethanolamines, glycol ethers, ethoxylates, solvents, fatty acids from vegetable oils, fatty alcohols, and specialty chemicals, which are products that are supplied to various industries.

iv) Commercial property rights include those described below:

 

  Subsidiary Tequimar has an agreement with CODEBA – Companhia das Docas do Estado da Bahia, which allows it to explore the area in which the Aratu Terminal is located for 20 years, renewable for a similar period. The price paid by Tequimar was R$ 12,000, which is being amortized from August 2002 to July 2042.

 

  Subsidiary Tequimar has a lease contract for an area adjacent to the Port of Santos for 20 years from December 2002, renewable for a similar period, which allows the construction, operation, and use of a terminal for liquid bulk unloading, tank storage, handling, and distribution. The price paid by Tequimar was R$ 4,334, which is being amortized from August 2005 to December 2022.

 

  Subsidiary Extrafarma pays key money to obtain certain commercial establishments to open drugstores which is stated at the cost of acquisition, amortized using the straight line method, considering the lease contract terms. In the case of the closedown of stores, the residual amount is written off.

v) Distribution rights refer mainly to bonus disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with resellers and large customers. Bonus disbursements are recognized when paid and recognized as an expense in the income statement over the term of the agreement (typically 5 years), which is reviewed as per the changes occurred in the agreements.

k. Guarantees

The financings are guaranteed by collateral in the amount of R$ 56,570 in 2016 (R$ 52,312 in 2015) and by guarantees and promissory notes in the amount of R$ 7,069,482 in 2016 (R$ 4,369,977 in 2015).

In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries offer collaterals in the form of letters of credit for commercial and legal proceedings in the amount of R$ 215,988 in 2016 (R$ 187,551 in 2015) and guarantees related to raw materials imported by the subsidiary IPP in the amount of R$ 59,316 in 2016 (R$ 133,154 in 2015).

Some subsidiaries of Oxiteno issue collateral to financial institutions in connection with the amounts owed by some of their customers to such institutions (vendor financing). If a subsidiary is required to make any payment under these collaterals, this subsidiary may recover the amount paid directly from its customers through commercial collection. The maximum amount of future payments related to these collaterals is R$ 30,764 in 2016 (R$ 27,106 in 2015), with maturities of up to 213 days. Until December 31, 2016, the subsidiaries did not have losses in connection with these collaterals. The fair value of collaterals recognized in current liabilities as other payables is R$ 743 in 2016 (R$ 656 in 2015), which is recognized as profit or loss as customers settle their obligations with the financial institutions.

Some Company’s subsidiaries acquire oil based fuels and LPG from Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.—Petrobras and its subsidiaries and ethylene from Braskem S.A. These suppliers control almost all of the markets for these products in Brazil. The Company’s subsidiaries depend on the ability of those suppliers to deliver products in a timely manner and at acceptable prices and terms. The loss of any major supplier or a significant reduction in product availability from these suppliers could have a significant adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that their relationship with suppliers is satisfactory.

18. Employee Benefits and Private Pension Plan (Consolidated)

 

a. ULTRAPREV- Associaçăo de Previdência Complementar

In February 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of a defined contribution pension plan to be sponsored by the Company and each of its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev—Associaçăo de Previdência Complementar (“Ultraprev”), since August 2001. Under the terms of the plan, every year each participating employee chooses his or her basic contribution to the plan. Each sponsoring company provides a matching contribution in an amount equivalent to each basic contribution, up to a limit of 11% of the employee’s reference salary, according to the rules of the plan. As participating employees retire, they may choose to receive either (i) a monthly sum ranging between 0.5% and 1.0% of their respective accumulated fund in Ultraprev or (ii) a fixed monthly amount which will exhaust their respective accumulated fund over a period of 5 to 25 years. The sponsoring company does not guarantee the amounts or the duration of the benefits received by each employee that retires. In 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 23,261 (R$ 22,216 in 2015) to Ultraprev, which is recognized as expense in the income statement. The total number of participating employees in 2016 was 8,876 active participants and 214 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 28 former employees receiving benefits under the rules of a previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

 

b. Post-employment Benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Government Severance Indemnity Fund (“FGTS”), and health, dental care, and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary as of December 31, 2016 and are recognized in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 19 R2011 (CPC 33 R2).

Sensitivity analysis

The significant actuarial assumptions to determine the provision for post-employment benefits are: discount rate, wage and medical costs increases. The following sensitivity analyses on December 31, 2016 were determined based on reasonably possible changes of assumptions occurring at the reporting date of the financial statements, keeping all other assumptions constant.

 

Assumption

Medical services growth rate

   decrease by 1.0 p.p      3,300      increase by 1.0 p.p      3,914  

The sensitivity analysis presented may not represent the real change in the post-employment benefits obligation, since it is unlikely that changes occur in just one assumption alone, considering that some of these assumptions may be correlated.

Inherent risks related to post-employment benefits

Interest rate risk: a long-term interest rate is used to calculate the present value of post-employment liabilities. A reduction in this interest rate will increase the corresponding liability.

Wage growth risk: the present value of the liability is calculated using as reference the wages of the plan participants, projected with the average nominal wage growth rate. An increase in the real wages of plan participants will increase the corresponding liability.

Medical costs growth risk: the present value of the liability is calculated using as reference the medical cost by age based on actual healthcare costs, projected based on the growth rate of medical services costs. An increase in the real medical costs will increase the corresponding liability.

19. Provision for Asset Retirement Obligation – Fuel Tanks (Consolidated)

The provision corresponds to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded service stations after a certain use period (see Note 2.m).

a.1) Provisions for Tax Matters and Social Security

a.1.1) On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz and Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”) filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to recognize and offset PIS and COFINS credits on LPG purchases, against other taxes levied by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction, the subsidiaries made escrow deposits for these debits which amounted to R$ 457,868 in 2016 (R$ 422,678 in 2015). On July 18, 2014, a second instance unfavorable decision was published and the subsidiaries suspended the escrow deposits, and started to pay income taxes from that date. To revert the court decision, the subsidiaries presented a writ of prevention which was dismissed on December 30, 2014, and the Company appealed this decision on February 3, 2015. Appeals were also presented to the respective higher courts (STJ and STF) whose trials are pending.

a.1.2) The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Tequimar, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda., Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”), IPP and Extrafarma filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from their PIS and COFINS tax bases. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP paid the amounts into escrow deposits, and recognized a corresponding provision in the amount of R$ 107,700 in 2016 (R$ 99,874 in 2015).

a.2) Provisions for Civil, Environmental and Regulatory Claims

a.2.1) The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions for lawsuits and administrative proceedings, mainly derived from contracts entered into with customers and former services providers, as well as proceedings related to environmental and regulatory issues in the amount of R$ 69,350 in 2016 (R$ 60,293 in 2015).

a.3) Provisions for Labor Matters

a.3.1) The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions of R$ 65,162 in 2016 (R$ 65,388 in 2015) for labor litigation filed by former employees and by employees of our service providers mainly contesting the non-payment of labor rights.

 

b. Contingent Liabilities (Possible)

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings of tax, civil, environmental, regulatory, and labor nature, which are individually less relevant, and were estimated by their legal counsel as having possible and/or remote risks (proceedings whose chance of loss is 50% or less). As such, the related potential losses were not provided for by the Company and its subsidiaries based on these opinions. The Company and its subsidiaries are also litigating for recovery of taxes and contributions, which were not recognized in the financial statements due to their contingent nature. The estimated amount of this contingency is R$ 2,252,637 in 2016 (R$ 2,069,516 in 2015).

b.1) Contingent Liabilities for Tax Matters and Social Security

The Company and its subsidiaries have contingent liabilities for tax matters and social security in the amount of R$ 1,519,658 in 2016 (R$ 1,261,396 in 2015), mainly represented by:

b.1.1) The subsidiary IPP and its subsidiaries have assessments invalidating the offset of excise tax (“IPI”) credits in connection with the purchase of raw materials used in the manufacturing of products which sales are not subject to IPI under the protection of tax immunity. The amount of this contingency is R$ 169,889 in 2016 (R$ 154,821 in 2015).

b.1.2) The subsidiary IPP and its subsidiaries have legal proceedings related to ICMS. The total amount involved in 2016 in these proceedings, was R$ 626,393 (R$ 509,604 in 2015). Such proceedings arise mostly of the disregard of ICMS credits amounting to R$ 283,367 (R$ 294,454 in 2015), of which R$ 113,889 (R$ 119,663 in 2015) refer to proportional reversal requirement of ICMS credits related to the acquisition of hydrated alcohol; of alleged non-payment in the amount of R$ 108,786 (R$ 105,070 in 2015); inventory differences in the amount of R$ 147,031 (R$ 103,428 in 2015) related to the leftovers or faults due to temperature changes or product handling, and noncompliance of ancillary obligations in the amount of R$ 17,562 (R$ 6,652 in 2015).

b.1.3) The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to administrative and judicial suits involving Income Tax, Social Security Contribution, PIS and COFINS, substantially about denials of offset claims and credits disallowance which total amount is R$ 450,120 in 2016 (R$ 308,377 as of December 31, 2015).

b.2) Contingent Liabilities for Civil, Environmental and Regulatory Claims

The Company and its subsidiaries have contingent liabilities for civil, environmental and regulatory claims in the amount of R$ 480,065 in 2016 (R$ 582,960 in 2015), mainly represented by:

b.2.1) The subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is party to an administrative proceeding before CADE based on alleged anti-competitive practices in the State of Minas Gerais in 2001. The CADE entered a decision against Cia. Ultragaz and imposed a penalty of R$ 31,281. The imposition of such administrative decision was suspended by a court order and its merit is being judicially reviewed.

b.2.2) As a result of the fire on April 2nd, 2015 at the Santos Terminal of the subsidiary Tequimar, Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo (“CETESB”) charged a fine of R$ 22,500, due to the environmental and urban impacts allegedly caused by the event. Tequimar filed before such Environmental Agency its refutation under the first administrative jurisdiction. In March 2016, a decision in the administrative level denied the Company’s appeal. The decision set forth a 30% discount and the subsidiary’s Management, supported by its legal counsel, decided to pay the fine in 2016 in the amount of R$ 16,032.

In addition, on November 29, 2016, a technical opinion was issued by the Operational Support Center for Execution (Centro de Apoio Operacional à Execução—CAEX), a technical body linked to the State Public Prosecutor of São Paulo (“MPE”), presenting a proposal of compensation for the alleged environmental damages caused by the fire. This technical opinion is non-binding, with no condemnatory or sanctioning nature, and will still be evaluated by the authorities and parties. The subsidiary is negotiating an agreement with the MPE and the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor (“MPF”), and currently there is no lawsuit filed on the matter. The negotiations relate to in natura repair of the any damages. In case of satisfactory conclusion of the negotiations with the MPE and MPF, the payments related to the project costs may affect the future Company’s financial statements.

For more information see Note 33.

b.2.3) In the third quarter of 2016, the subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz became party to two administrative proceedings and the subsidiary Bahiana became party to one administrative proceeding filed by CADE based on allegations of anti-competitive practices in the State of Paraíba and in the Federal District. The subsidiaries’ Management, supported by its external legal counsel, are evaluating the facts and evidences to present a defense in the 2017. According to Law 12,529/11 (“Defense of Competition Law”), the charged fine for violation of the economic order has a range from 0.1% to 20% of the gross revenue of the company, group or conglomerate obtained, in the last year prior to the initiation of the administrative proceeding, in the business activity in which the infraction occurred, and shall never be less than the advantage obtaneid, when the estimative is possible. As of December 31, 2016, as a result of these administrative proceedings, no fine had been imposed to the subsidiaries. Based on the above, and supported by the opinion of external legal counsel that classified the probability of loss as “possible”, Management did not recognize a provision for these contingencies as of December 31, 2016. If the conclusion is that the subsidiaries have done such activities or anti-competitive behavior, the subsidiaries may incur fines, penalties and/or criminal sanctions against them and/or certain executives, directors or employees.

b.3) Contingent Liabilities for Labor Matters

The Company and its subsidiaries have contingent liabilities for labor matters in the amount of R$ 252,914 in 2016 (R$ 225,160 in 2015), mainly represented by:

b.3.1) In 1990, the Petrochemical Industry Labor Union (Sindiquímica), of which the employees of Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, companies located in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex, are members, filed separate lawsuits against the subsidiaries demanding the compliance with the fourth section of the collective labor agreement, which provided for a salary adjustment in lieu of the salary policies practiced. In the same year, a collective labor dispute was also filed by the Union of Employers (SINPEQ) against Sindiquímica, requiring the recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such fourth section. The decisions rendered on the individual claims which were favorable to the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA are final and unappealable. The collective labor dispute remains pending trial by STF. In 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective labor dispute. In October 2015, Sindiquímica filed enforcement lawsuits against all Camaçari Petrochemical Complex companies that have not yet made settlements, including Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA.

31. Risks and Financial Instruments (Consolidated)

Risk Management and Financial Instruments—Governance

The main risks to which the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed reflect strategic/operational and economic/financial aspects. Operational/strategic risks (including, but not limited to, demand behavior, competition, technological innovation, and material changes in the industry structure) are addressed by the Company’s management model. Economic/financial risks primarily reflect default of customers, behavior of macroeconomic variables, such as exchange and interest rates, as well as the characteristics of the financial instruments used by the Company and its subsidiaries and their counterparties. These risks are managed through control policies, specific strategies, and the establishment of limits.

The Company has a conservative policy for the management of resources, financial instruments, and risks approved by its Board of Directors (“Policy”). In accordance with the Policy, the main objectives of financial management are to preserve the value and liquidity of financial assets and ensure financial resources for the development of the business, including expansions. The main financial risks considered in the Policy are risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit, and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

 

  Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments, and risks is the responsibility of the financial area, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the tax and accounting departments.

 

  Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines, and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, which is composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fundraising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.

 

  Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Ultrapar.

 

  Continuous improvement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the financial area.

 

  The internal audit department audits the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

Currency Risk

Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for risk management is the Brazilian Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term flow of net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno.

The Company and its subsidiaries use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Brazilian Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts, and disbursements in foreign currency and net investments in foreign operations. Hedge is used in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on the Company´s income and cash flows in Brazilian Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts, and disbursements in foreign currencies to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated below, translated into Brazilian Reais as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Interest Rate Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries adopt conservative policies for borrowing and investing financial resources and for capital cost minimization. The financial investments of the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily held in transactions linked to the CDI, as set forth in Note 4. Borrowings primarily relate to financing from Banco do Brasil, BNDES, and other development agencies, as well as debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in Note 14.

The Company attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates.

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities exposed to floating interest rates as of December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Credit Risks

The financial instruments that would expose the Company and its subsidiaries to credit risks of the counterparty are basically represented by cash and bank deposits, financial investments, hedging instruments, and trade receivables.

Credit risk of financial institutions—Such risk results from the inability of financial institutions to comply with their financial obligations to the Company and its subsidiaries due to insolvency. The Company and its subsidiaries regularly conduct a credit review of the institutions with which they hold cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments through various methodologies that assess liquidity, solvency, leverage, portfolio quality, etc. Cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are held only with institutions with a solid credit history, chosen for safety and soundness. The volume of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, and hedging instruments are subject to maximum limits by each institution and, therefore, require diversification of counterparties.

Government credit risk—The Company’s policy allows investments in government securities from countries classified as investment grade AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies and in Brazilian government bonds. The volume of such financial investments is subject to maximum limits by each country and, therefore, requires diversification of counterparties.

Customer credit risk—Such risks are managed by each business unit through specific criteria for acceptance of customers and their credit rating and are additionally mitigated by the diversification of sales. No single customer or group accounts for more than 10% of total revenue.

The Company maintained the following allowances for doubtful accounts on trade receivables:

Liquidity Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries’ main sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents, and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financing. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that these sources are sufficient to satisfy their current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt, and payment of dividends.

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically examine opportunities for acquisitions and investments. They consider different types of investments, either directly, through joint ventures, or through associated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, debt financing, through capital increases, or through a combination of these methods.

The Company and its subsidiaries believe to have enough working capital and sources of financing to satisfy their current needs. The gross indebtedness due over the next twelve months totals R$ 3,039.9 million, including estimated interests on loans (for quantitative information, see Note 14). Furthermore, the investment plan for 2017 totals R$ 2,174 million. As of December 31, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 5,686.7 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term financial investments (for quantitative information, see Note 4).

The table below presents a summary of financial liabilities as of December 31, 2016 to be settled by the Company and its subsidiaries, listed by maturity. The amounts disclosed in this table are the contractual undiscounted cash outflows, and, therefore, these amounts may be different from the amounts disclosed on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.

(1) To calculate the estimated interest on loans some macroeconomic assumptions were used, including averaging for the period the following: (i) CDI of 11.5%, (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 3.40 in 2017, R$ 3.66 in 2018, R$ 3.93 in 2019, R$ 4.21 in 2020 and R$ 4.51 in 2021, (iii) TJLP of 7.5% p.a. and (iv) IGP-M of 4.6% in 2017, 4.5% in 2018, 4.5% in 2019 and 4.5% in 2020 (source: BM&FBOVESPA, Bulletin Focus and financial institutions).
(2)  Includes estimated interest payments on short-term and long-term loans until the payment date.
(3) The currency and interest rate hedging instruments were estimated based on projected U.S dollar futures contracts and the futures curve of DI x Pre contract quoted on BM&FBOVESPA on December 29, 2016 and on the futures curve of LIBOR (ICE—IntercontinentalExchange) on December 30, 2016. In the table above, only the hedging instruments with negative results at the time of settlement were considered.

Capital Management

The Company manages its capital structure based on indicators and benchmarks. The key performance indicators related to the capital structure management are the weighted average cost of capital, net debt / EBITDA, interest coverage, and indebtedness / equity ratios. Net debt is composed of cash, cash equivalents, and financial investments (see Note 4) and loans, including debentures (see Note 14). The Company can change its capital structure depending on the economic and financial conditions, in order to optimize its financial leverage and capital management. The Company seeks to improve its return on invested capital by implementing efficient working capital management and a selective investment program.

Selection and Use of Financial Instruments

In selecting financial investments and hedging instruments, an analysis is conducted to estimate rates of return, risks involved, liquidity, calculation methodology for the carrying value and fair value, and a review is conducted of any documentation applicable to the financial instruments. The financial instruments used to manage the financial resources of the Company and its subsidiaries are intended to preserve value and liquidity.

The Policy contemplates the use of derivative financial instruments only to cover identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). The risks identified in the Policy are described in the above sections, and are subject to risk management. In accordance with the Policy, the Company and its subsidiaries can use forward contracts, swaps, options, and futures contracts to manage identified risks. Leveraged derivative instruments are not permitted. Because the use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the coverage of identified risks, the Company and its subsidiaries use the term “hedging instruments” to refer to derivative financial instruments.

As mentioned in the section “Risk Management and Financial Instruments – Governance”, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis. In addition, the internal audit department verifies the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

Hedging instruments existing as of December 31, 2016 are described below, according to their category, risk, and hedging strategy:

a—Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency—The purpose of these contracts is (i) to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of debts or firm commitments in U.S. dollars by converting them into debts or firm commitments in Brazilian Reais linked to CDI, (ii) firm commitments in U.S. dollars, changing them into debts or firm commitments in Reais indexed to the CDI and (iii) change a financial investment linked to the CDI and given as a guarantee to a loan in the U.S. dollar into a financial investment linked to the U.S. dollar. As of December 31, 2016, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 1,412.4 million in notional amount with a liability position, on average of 83.5% of CDI, of which US$ 329.4 million, had an asset position at US$ + 1.29% p.a., US$ 350.0 million had an asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 0.87% p.a. and US$ 733.0 million in interest rate swap with an asset position at US$ + 5.65% p.a. This amount includes US$ 440.0 million related to the fair value of hedging instruments of Ipiranga’s debt (see Notes 14.c and “hedge accounting” below) and US$ 152.6 million related to hedging instruments of cash flow of firm commitment (see “hedge accounting” below).

b—Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of operations—The purpose of these contracts is to make the exchange rate of the revenues of subsidiaries Oleoquímica, Oxiteno S.A. and Oxiteno Nordeste equal to the exchange rate of the cost of their main raw materials during their operating cycles. As of December 31, 2016, these swap contracts totaled US$ 8.5 million and, on average, had an asset position at 72.3% of CDI and a liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

c—Hedging against the interest rate fixed in local financing—The purpose of these contracts is to convert the interest rate on financing contracted in Brazilian Reais from fixed into floating. This swap contract was settled at maturity date (See Note 14.h).

Hedge Accounting

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative and non-derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes and test, throughout the duration of the hedge, their effectiveness , as well as the changes in their fair value.

Fair value hedge

The Company and its subsidiaries designate as fair value hedges certain financial instruments used to offset the variations in interest and exchange rates, which are based on the market value of financing contracted in Brazilian Reais and U.S. dollars.

On December 31, 2016, the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments designated as fair value hedge totaled US$ 440.0 million. In 2016, a loss of R$ 426.4 million related to the result of hedging instruments, a loss of R$ 11.6 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt, and a gain of R$ 255.6 million related to the financial expense of the debt were recognized in the income statements, transforming the average effective cost of the operation into 101.9% of CDI (see Note 14.c.1).

Cash flow hedge

The Company and its subsidiaries designate, as cash flow hedge of firm commitment and highly probable transactions, derivative financial instruments to hedge “firm commitments” and non-derivative financial instruments to hedge “highly probable future transactions”, to hedge against fluctuations arising from changes in exchange rate.

On December 31, 2016, the notional amount of exchange rate hedging instruments of firm commitments designated as cash flow hedges totaled US$ 152.6 million, and a loss of R$ 132.5 million was recognized in the income statement. On December 31, 2016, the unrealized loss of “Other comprehensive income” is R$ 13.8 million, net of deferred income and social contribution taxes.

On December 31, 2016, the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments for highly probable future transactions designated as fair value hedge, related to notes in the foreign market totaled US$ 570.0 million. On December 31, 2016, the unrealized loss of “Other comprehensive income” is R$ 12.1 million, net of deferred income and social contribution taxes.

Net investment hedge in foreign entities

The Company and its subsidiaries designate, as net investment hedge in foreign entities, notes in the foreign market for hedging net investment in foreign entities, to offset changes in exchange rates.

On December 31, 2016, the balance of foreign exchange hedging instruments designated as net investments hedge in foreign entities, related to part of the investments made in entities which functional currency is other than the Brazilian Real, totaled US$ 133.0 million. On December 31, 2016, the unrealized loss of “Other comprehensive income” is R$ 2.8 million, net of deferred income and social contribution taxes. The effects of exchange rate changes on investments and hedging instruments were offset in shareholders’ equity.

The fair value of financial instruments, including currency and interest hedging instruments, was determined as follows:

 

  The fair value of cash and bank deposit balances are identical to their carrying values.

 

  Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the financial statements, which corresponds to their fair value.

 

  Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase at the “yield curve” and, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.

 

  The subscription warrants – indemnification were measured based on the share price of Ultrapar (UGPA3) at the financial statements date and are adjusted to the Company’s dividend yield, since the exercise is only possible starting in 2020 onwards and they are not entitled to dividends until then. The number of shares of subscription warrants – indemnification is also adjusted according to the changes in the amounts of provision for tax, civil, and labor risks and contingent liabilities related to the period prior to January 31, 2014. (See Note 22).

 

  In 2016, the fair value calculation of notes in the foreign market (see Note 14.b) is based on the quoted price in an active market.

The fair value of other financial investments and financing was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for mark-to-market reporting, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates December 31, 2016 and 2015. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the Company and its subsidiaries can use quotes provided by the transaction counterparties.

The interpretation of market information on the choice of calculation methodologies for the fair value requires considerable judgment and estimates to obtain a value deemed appropriate to each situation. Consequently, the estimates presented do not necessary indicate the amounts that may be realizable in the current market.

Financial instruments were classified as loans and receivables or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, except (i) all exchange rate and interest rate hedging instruments, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, (ii) financial investments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, (iii) financial investments that are classified as available for sale, which are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (see Note 4), (iv) loans and financing measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 14), (v) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 14.k), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and (vi) subscription warrants – indemnification, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 22). The financial investments classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost. Cash, banks, and trade receivables are classified as loans and receivables. Trade payables and other payables are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

Fair Value Hierarchy of Financial Instruments

The financial instruments are classified in the following categories:

 

  (a) Level 1—prices negotiated (without adjustment) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  (b) Level 2—inputs other than prices negotiated in active markets included in Level 1 and observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and

 

  (c) Level 3—inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market variables (unobservable inputs).

The table below shows a summary of the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the Company’s and its subsidiaries December 31, 2016 and 2015:

Sensitivity Analysis

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments only to hedge against identified risks and in amounts consistent with the risk (limited to 100% of the identified risk). Thus, for purposes of sensitivity analysis of market risks associated with financial instruments, as required by CVM Instruction 475/08, the Company analyzes the hedging instrument and the hedged item together, as shown on the charts below.

For the sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange hedging instruments, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBOVESPA as of December 29, 2016. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 5.94 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the likely scenario, according to the risk to which the hedged item is exposed.

33. Ultracargo – Fire Accident in Santos

In April 2015, a fire occurred in six ethanol and gasoline tanks operated by Ultracargo in Santos, which represented 4% of the subsidiary’s overall capacity as of December 31, 2014. The Civil and Federal Police investigated the accident and its impacts, and concluded that it is not possible to determine the cause of the accident and neither to individualize active or passive conduct related to the cause, and there was no criminal charge against either individual or the subsidiary, by both authorities.

As a result of this accident, some of the operations, which correspond to 150 thousand cubic meters, or 22.5% of Ultracargo’s overall capacity, are still suspended. The decommissioning process, which comprised the removal of equipment and structures of the terminal affected by the fire, was concluded and works of the rehabilitation and commissioning for return of the overall terminal operation are underway.

As a result of the evolution of the regulation process with insurers, as of December 31, 2016, were recorded the insurance receivable in the amount of R$ 366,678 and indemnities to customers and third parties in the amount of R$ 99,863. In addition, there are contingent liabilities related to lawsuits and extrajudicial lawsuits in the amount of R$ 96,408 and R$ 16,637, respectively. During 2016, Ultracargo received R$ 78,878 related to rescue, containment expenses and loss of profit. As disclosed in Note 27, in 2016 the accident generated a revenue of R$ 76,443 (an expense of R$ 92,192 in 2015).

Dear Shareholders,

The management of ULTRAPAR PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (Ultrapar) hereby submits for Shareholders’ appreciation the Management Report and Financial Statements for the fiscal year 2016. This information is accompanied by an independent, unqualified auditor’s report, which has been discussed and reviewed by the Management.

COMPANY PROFILE

Ultrapar is a multibusiness company that started its activities almost 80 years ago, with leading positions in five different business segments. It operates with a widespread presence and throughout the Brazilian territory in the specialized distribution and retail through Ipiranga, in the fuel sector, Ultragaz, in Liquefied Petroleum Gas—LPG sector, and Extrafarma, in retail pharmacy business. It also operates in the segment of specialty chemicals through Oxiteno, which has a leading position in Latin America, and storage of liquid bulk through Ultracargo, present in six ports in Brazil.

Since 1999, Ultrapar’s shares have been listed at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), with ADRs level III, and at the BM&FBOVESPA (Sao Paulo Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange), and since 2011 in the Novo Mercado listing segment.

MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGEMENT 2016

The business environment in Brazil during 2016 showed a deterioration in both the economic and political crises. The country experienced its deepest recession in recent history reflecting in a significant decrease in GDP, disposable income and employment.

In spite of the unfavorable background, which affected our businesses most closely linked to economic performance, we have sought to create opportunities and to continue our expansion and evolution as an organization. In addition to our focus on the constant development of our people, different from the general trend in Brazil, we created further 576 new direct jobs in 2016 bringing our payroll up to more than 15 thousand employees by the year-end. Over the course of Ultra’s nearly 80 years, we have built a solid and resilient company, as a result of careful planning, investment and execution.

The internal structure of our business has been instrumental in allowing us to pursue a growth trajectory despite the recessive scenario and political uncertainty. In 2016, we analyzed and executed various initiatives and projects, resulting in new sources of growth for our operations. With diligence and confidence in our business model, we announced three important transactions during the period: signatures of a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisitions of ALESAT, in the fuel distribution segment, and Liquigás, in LPG distribution and the creation of a new lubricants company in partnership with Chevron. We also implemented a robust investment plan worth R$ 1.9 billion, up 36% from 2015.

At Ipiranga, the investment strategy focused mainly on the network expansion, the strengthening of our reseller partnership and on the expansion of the distribution infrastructure. We ended the year with 7,563 Ipiranga service stations, 333 more than in 2015. Another aspect, which is clear in Ipiranga’s strategy, is the differentiation through diversification and innovation in products, services and convenience. Tangible evidence of such strategy during 2016 can be seen in the form of investments in 256 new am/pm franchises, 128 Jet Oil stores, 163 bakeries, 138 beer caves, among other initiatives designed to offer greater value, comfort and quality to our resellers and customers.

At Oxiteno, internationalization proceeded a pace through expansion in the United States. During 2016, developments at the new plant in Pasadena, Texas progressed, a project expected to extend through 2017. This will allow Oxiteno to compete more effectively in the United States surfactants market. Our presence in this market is also strategic given the attractive conditions of infrastructure and raw material inputs. In addition to developing projects, which ensure future growth, we also saw progress in innovation through the introduction of 60 new products in our portfolio.

The focus on innovation and operational excellence has also proved critical at Ultragaz. The company advanced in its strategy based on growth and improvements of its reseller network, improving its differentiation in services with the support of technology and information systems as well as the creation of new channels of commercialization. As to the operational part of the business, we invested in a new bottling base in the city of Juazeiro (BA) for increasing efficiencies in distribution and services offered regionally.

Following a challenging period since the fire accident in Santos in April 2015, Ultracargo ended 2016 with a highly positive outlook, both for its segment of operations, benefited by the strength of fuel handling activities at the ports as well as the prospects for resumption of operations impacted by the fire. A priority for Ultracargo was to act transparently and responsibly following the accident in light of its consequences. Today, this has served to enable us to view the event as an opportunity for learning and strengthening the business.

In 2016, we relaunched the Extrafarma brand that reinforces the characteristics of client trust and close relationships. Combined with the new store model and operational excellence, the brand epitomizes initiatives designed to provide greater convenience and a better shopping experience for our customers. With this more robust platform and operational excellence in place, we are accelerating our expansion in the North and Northeast regions and gradually to other regions of Brazil, with the rollout of 71 new stores, ending the year with 315 stores in 10 states.

With this equation – to invest with discipline and planning, to serve our clients with passion and to execute our strategy responsibly –, we continually reiterate our commitment to our stakeholders.

Socio-environmental philosophy, innovation and operational excellence

Ultrapar endeavors to maintain the values of ethics in business, the culture of citizenship and excellence in the standards of health, safety and the environment.

Ultra’s Sustainability Model covers five pillars – Safety, Environment, People, Products and Services and Value Chain, which unfold into 28 performance and management indicators, aligned with the corporate sustainability guidelines. Due to the characteristics of each market where we operate, our businesses maintain individual policies related to socio-environmental activities. As part of this continual improvement in sustainability initiatives, we are a component of the BM&FBOVESPA’s Carbon Efficient Stock Index (ICO2). Ultra was also recognized for its responsible environmental management practices by CDP (Carbon Disclosure Program), an international organization that incentivizes and provides a global system for companies and cities to measure, disclose, manage and share information on the environment. For the second consecutive year, Ultra was highlighted in Exame magazine’s Guide to Sustainability 2016 as a model company in the retail category.

People

The quality of our human capital is the factor which constitutes Ultra’s dynamic and entrepreneurial element. The capacity of its employees has a strong influence on productivity and profitability, on the level of client service, on reputation, image and on the competitiveness of the company. Our model for people management supports the development of employees and leadership, motivated by the need to meet challenging goals, while also stimulating the movement of staff between different areas and businesses. One of the main thrusts of people management is to align formation and skills to Ultra’s multibusiness culture, the reason for the major potential for movement of talents that exists in the Company. In 2016, more than 1,500 employees enjoyed the benefits of transfers between areas of the same business unit or to other business units of the company.

Fundamental to the development of the business is to promote the development of new competencies among its employees while at the same time reinforcing Ultra’s culture and identity. In this context, we invested nearly 400 thousand hours of training in our employees. The Company’s multibusiness culture demands the continual renewal of talents and the development of various competencies. In 2016, some 300 young people joined Ultra through internship, trainee and young professionals programs.

Clients, resellers and suppliers

Passion and respect for the client have driven Ultra’s businesses. In addition, we have established solid partnerships based on ethical principles and on management focused on sustainable financial results with our broad-based network of suppliers and resellers, contributing to the longevity of the Company’s businesses.

In the process of introducing differentiation through innovation and convenience, Ipiranga has developed and launched on the market Abastece Aí (Fill up here), an initiative which seeks to maximize the advantages from the integration of platforms for offering still more convenience and benefits to customers. Through the Abastece Aí app, the customer programs or decides with immediate effect on a refueling option, which is automatically recognized by the Ipiranga service station attendant. He also chooses the rewards he prefers to receive and finalizes refueling with the Km de Vantagens password, payment being totally secure. Ipiranga has also launched DT Clean gasoline, using one of the most modern fuel additive technologies and designed to recover the engine’s original performance, at the same time increasing its useful life and providing fuel economy.

Core to Oxiteno’s strategy is innovation. Our investments in research and development seek solutions, which meet client requirements, cause less socio-environmental impact and are in line with macro tendencies. In 2016, R$ 50 million was invested in research and development, notable for example the launch of adjuvant solutions for improving efficiency in the use of agrochemicals that increase agricultural productivity.

Over the past few years, Ultragaz has dedicated greater resources to building up its differentiation edge and offering innovative solutions. The company’s performance has been based on information systems initiatives, use of digital intelligence and geolocation for client prospecting, customization for the offer of services and new forms of relationship with resellers and customers. Thanks to these initiatives, our resellers are better equipped to improve their businesses, our service teams have the tools for responding more rapidly to customers, prospecting is more effective and our final customers are provided with greater convenience in ordering, receiving and paying for gas.

Ultracargo has bolstered its business as a quality service provider to the fuels market. The most challenging aspect of the economy for this segment has been reduced flows in the chemicals area, that closely tracks economic performance. As a result, the company has made a natural transition to becoming the natural operator to absorb additional fuel handling activities at Brazilian ports, activities that have intensified over the past few years, especially in 2016. The offer of space at ports for fuels has been made possible thanks to the flexibility offered by Ultracargo to its clients, an important factor that differentiates it in the market.

At Extrafarma, we chose to strengthen our retail platform in order to grow faster and sustainably with initiatives centered on creating a better shopping experience. Among the principal initiatives in this process was the new store model, more attractive to customers, the revision of the principal categories with a deeper assortment of items and more customer-friendly displays. The Clube Extrafarma loyalty program was also relaunched in a simpler form and with a greater number of reward redemption options. At the end of 2016, Clube Extrafarma had more than 5 million registered customers.

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu began its external auditing services for Ultrapar in 2012.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN 2016

Economic-operational environment

In a year characterized by the worsening of the crises on both political and economic fronts, Brazil ended 2016 with a combination of slowing business activity and a deterioration in disposable incomes and employment, thus inhibiting consumption and creating a challenging business environment. In the second half, there were some sporadic signs of improvement. Inflation slowed paving the way for cuts in the basic interest rate from 14.25% at the end of 2015 to 13.75% in 2016. The average US Dollar/Real exchange rate in 2016 was R$ 3.49 compared with R$ 3.33 in 2015, a devaluation of 5% albeit with an appreciating tendency of 17% during 2016. The number of light vehicles licensed during the year amounted to 2.0 million, making for a 2% growth in the fleet in 2016. The downturn in the global economy and the decisions of production of the OPEC member countries had influenced international oil prices, which began the year at US$ 36/barrel (Brent) and closed 2016 at US$ 55/barrel. In the petrochemical market, ABIQUIM (the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association) data indicated an increase of 5% in 2016 in National Apparent Consumption. Sales in the retail pharmacy sector, according to data from members of Abrafarma (the Brazilian Association of Pharmacies and Drugstores), grew 11% in 2016.

Ipiranga

Ipiranga’s sales volume recorded a decline of 9% compared with 2015. Fuel sales volume for light vehicles (Otto cycle) reported a decrease of 9%, in spite of the effective growth of 2% in the light vehicle fleet, reflecting economic conditions, a worsening in employment levels and the increase in the relative prices of fuel compared to household income. Diesel volume was also down 9%, mirroring weakness in the economy overall.

Ipiranga posted a 2% increase in net revenue despite lower sales volume mainly due to (i) the increase in diesel and gasoline costs by Petrobras in October 2015 and also higher ethanol prices, (ii) the greater share of gasoline in the overall sales mix in 2016, and (iii) the strategy of constant innovation in service station services and convenience, resulting in greater customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Cost of goods sold by Ipiranga was 1% higher, due to increases in diesel and gasoline costs in October 2015 and correspondingly higher ethanol costs, partially attenuated by lower sales volume.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 8% due to (i) higher expenses with studies and projects for expansion and innovation, (ii) expansion in the service station and franchise network and (iii) the effects of inflation in the period, offset in part by reduced freight on lower sales volume.

EBITDA in 2016 amounted to R$ 3.080 million, up 11% compared to 2015, despite lower sales volume, mainly due to (i) the strategy of constant innovation in service station services and convenience, (ii) the better sales mix and (iii) the reduction of the average fuels’ cost, made possible by imports.

Investments at Ipiranga during the year totaled R$ 1,065 million (i) R$ 429 million in the expansion of its distribution network (through the conversion of unbranded service stations, opening of new service stations and new customers) and am/pm and Jet Oil franchises focused on the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil, (ii) R$ 64 million in the expansion of its logistics infrastructure through the construction and expansion of logistics facilities, (iii) R$ 101 million in modernization largely in logistics facilities, and (iv) R$ 471 million in maintenance of its activities, mainly in the renewal of contracts of its distribution network and the renovation of service stations. Out of the total amount invested, R$ 892 million were related to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets and R$ 173 million were related to the financing to clients, net of repayments.

Oxiteno

Volume sold at Oxiteno was 2% higher in 2016 as a result of a 17% expansion in commodities, in search of increased efficiency in the use of capacity and dilution of plant, above all in 1H16 to compensate for the 1% decline in specialty chemicals, a reflection of weak economic activity in Brazil.

Oxiteno’s net revenue was 9% down, largely due to 15% lower average prices in US Dollars, as a consequence of lower international commodities prices and a greater share of these products in the sales mix. Decrease in net revenue was partially offset by the depreciation of 5% in the Real against the US dollar and increased sales volume.

Cost of goods sold fell by 1% due to lower payroll costs offset by higher sales volume, a 5% depreciation in the Real against the US dollar and increased prices of certain raw materials.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses fell 11%, mainly due to lower personnel expenses, offset by the depreciation of the Real on logistics and international units expenses, aimed by increased sales volume.

Oxiteno posted a 2016 EBITDA of R$ 459 million, a year-over-year decline of 38%, mainly due to (i) the variation in currency rates and in prices of certain raw materials, both moving in opposite directions in the comparison between 2016 and 2015, and (ii) the greater share of commodities in the product mix, attenuated by higher sales volume and by a 5% depreciation of the Real against the US dollar(R$ 0.16/US$).

Total investments at Oxiteno in 2016 amounted to R$ 288 million, mainly due to the maintenance of its industrial units and to the new ethoxylation plant in the United States.

Ultragaz

Sales volume at Ultragaz was 4% higher in 2016, with a 3% growth in the LPG bottled segment, the result of investments to increase the numbers of resellers, and 6% growth in the bulk segment due to investments in the capture of new customers.

Ultragaz reported net revenues 16% higher, mainly due to (i) the increases in the cost of bottled and bulk LPG at the refineries in 2015 and 2016, (ii) higher volume sold, the result of commercial initiatives for capture of new customers and resellers, (iii) the adoption of differentiation and innovation strategies, and (iv) the increased share of the bulk segment in the composition of total sales mix.

Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold was 15% higher mainly due to (i) the increase in LPG costs, (ii) higher volumes, and (iii) higher unit freight costs due to the increase in product withdrawals on more distant routes.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 17% due to (i) higher expenditure on studies and projects for expansion and innovation, (ii) higher expenses with systems and support for commercial initiatives, and (iii) greater spending with advertising and marketing, highlighting key aspects of the current strategy focused on consumer convenience and services.

EBITDA amounted to R$ 447 million, 25% more than in 2015, the result of commercial initiatives for the capture of new customers and resellers and the strategy of differentiation and innovation.

Ultragaz invested R$ 225 million during 2016, allocated mainly in new clients in the bulk segment, replacement and acquisition of bottles and maintenance of its bottling facilities.

Ultracargo

Ultracargo’s total average storage posted an increase of 3% due mainly to greater fuel handling at the Suape and Aratu port terminals although offset by the partial interruption of activities at the Ultracargo terminal in Santos in 2015 due to the fire in April of that year. Excluding operations in Santos, handling was up by 8%.

Ultracargo’s net revenue was 13% higher mainly due to the increase in average storage and higher average tariffs at the terminals. Excluding operations at the Santos terminal, net revenue was 18% higher.

The cost of services provided reported growth of 31% due to higher costs with payroll and terminal maintenance. Additionally, since January 2016, some expenses have been reclassified as costs, in 2016 amounting to R$ 16 million.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses fell 1% mainly due to the reclassification of some expenses as costs and partially offset by higher payroll expenses.

The “Other operating results” line in 2016 registered net income of R$ 71 million compared to a net expense of R$ 79 million in 2015. In 2016, amounts relate largely to recoveries on insurance claims of R$ 134 million, partially offset by fire-related expenses at the Santos terminal of R$ 68 million.

Ultracargo reported an EBITDA of R$ 171 million in 2016, a growth of R$ 145 million due to recoveries against insurance claims and greater handling movement. Excluding Santos operations and the effects of the fire, Ultracargo’s remaining port terminals recorded an EBITDA of R$ 100 million, 7% greater than 2015.

In 2016, Ultracargo invested a total of R$ 79 million mainly directed towards modernization of terminal safety systems and the adaptation and maintenance of existing terminals infrastructure.

Extrafarma

Extrafarma ended 2016 with 315 stores, a 24% increase (61 stores) compared to 2015. Over the course of the year, 71 new stores were opened and ten closed.

Extrafarma reported an 18% increase in gross revenue due to a growth of 28% in retail sales ex-mobile phones, a reflection of the larger average number of stores. Same store sales ex-mobile phones were 20% higher. This result was partially offset by the weak performance of the economy, which saw mobile phone sales decrease by 30%.

The cost of goods sold was 19% higher due to greater sales volume and the annual price adjustment in medicines authorized by the Drugs Market Regulation Chamber (CMED). Gross profit was R$ 506 million, an increase of 16%, thanks to improved sales.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses recorded a 20% rise. The increase reflects an 18% average increase in the number of stores, the effects of inflation on payroll expenses and expenses with the launch of the new brand, partially offset by actions implemented for improving pharmaceutical retail management standards.

Extrafarma reported an EBITDA of R$ 37 million, a year-over-year increase of 29% due to sales growth and actions taken to improve pharmaceutical retail management standards, partially attenuated by the larger number of stores yet to reach full maturity.

Extrafarma invested R$ 143 million, mainly directed towards the opening of new drugstores and maintenance of the existing ones, as well as to the new distribution center in Pará, in replacement of the previously existing one in that state.

Ultrapar

Net revenue from sales and services

In 2016, Ultrapar reported net revenue from sales and services of R$ 77,353 million, a growth of 2% in relation to 2015 due to revenue growth in all the businesses with the exception of Oxiteno.

Cost of goods sold and services provided

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses

Ultrapar’s selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 4,097 million in 2016, 7% more than 2015 due to the effects of inflation on expenses and to particular aspects in each business.

Other operating results

In 2016, Ultrapar reported income, net of expenses, under the other operating results item of R$ 199 million against a net income of R$ 51 million in 2015, due to (i) the effects of the fire in April 2015 at Ultracargo’s Santos terminal with a positive impact of R$ 68 million in 2016, mainly relative to recoveries on insurance claims, and a negative R$ 92 million in 2015, and (ii) receipt of revenues due to the strategy of constant innovation in services and convenience at Ipiranga, attenuated by the recognition in 2015 of non-recurring income of R$ 30 million relating to the adjustment in working capital and net indebtedness due to the Extrafarma acquisition and a lawsuit for the use of trademark decided favorably to Ultrapar.

Income from sale of assets

In 2016, Ultrapar recorded a net expense from the sale of assets of R$ 6 million against net revenues of R$ 27 million in 2015, mainly due to reduced land sales by Ipiranga.

EBITDA Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA was R$ 4,217 million in 2016, a growth of 7% in relation to 2015 due to an increase in EBITDA at Ipiranga, Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Extrafarma.

  Executive summary of the results

 

The Brazilian macroeconomic scenario in 4Q16 did not present the improvement expected by the market on the previous quarter. Economic activity contracted once again and business confidence declined. Labor market data showed a continued high unemployment rate, at 12.0% in December 2016, with effective household incomes trending down during the period. However, inflation rates have been gradually declining since the second half of the year, paving the way for a reduction in base interest rates at the end of 2016, the year-end rate standing at 13.75% compared to 14.25% at the end of 2015. Average exchange rate R$/US$ was 14% stronger year-over-year and depreciated by 1% quarter-over-quarter. In the international markets, the average oil price (Brent) was US$50/barrel, an increase from US$43/barrel in the 4Q15 and from US$46/barrel in 3Q16. In the retail pharmacy sector in the Northern and Northeastern regions of Brazil, according to data from members of Abrafarma (the Brazilian Association of Pharmacies and Drugstores), sales increased by 1%.

Ipiranga’s sales volume decreased by 14% compared to 4Q15, reflecting the Brazilian economic recession, deterioration of employment rates, and the increase in the relative prices of fuel compared to household income. Lower sales volume and a significant inventory gain in 4Q15 resulted in a 1% year-on-year decrease in Ipiranga’s EBITDA. Those effects softened by the company’s constant innovation strategy in services and convenience at service stations generating greater customer satisfaction and loyalty. Ipiranga ended 2016 with 7,563 service stations, an increase of 5% or 333 service stations, compared to 2015, of which 169 were added in 4Q16, net of withdrawals.

Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 173 thousand tons, a 4% (7 thousand tons) increase compared to 4Q15, with a 6% increase on the volume of sales of specialty chemicals, particularly positive in the agrochemical, automotive fluids, and coatings segments in Brazil. Growth in sales volume was offset by the effects of the exchange rates, with a 14% stronger Real against the US Dollar, and by the of certain raw materials, which were more favorable in 4Q15 and unfavorable in 4Q16, resulting in an EBITDA of R$ 45 million, 75% down from 4Q15.

Ultragaz’s reached sales volume of 440 thousand tons in 4Q16, a 7% increase year-on-year, due to the addition of new resellers, resulting in a 6% increase in the bottled segment, as well as investments to capture new clients, which led to an 8% growth in bulk sales. Higher sales volume, as a result of commercial initiatives to capture new customers and resellers and the differentiation strategy based on innovation, resulted in an EBITDA of R$ 122 million in 4Q16, up 12% over 4Q15.

Ultracargo’s 4Q16 total average storage increased by 11% year-on-year due to increased fuel handling at the Suape, Aratu and Santos terminals. Ultracargo’s total EBITDA amounted to R$ 74 million in 4Q16, an increase of R$ 61 million year-on-year resulting from the growth in average storage, higher average tariff in all terminals, as a result of the adjustments and the spot operations of fuels and to insurance recoveries in 4Q16. On the same comparative basis, EBITDA excluding Santos increased by 24% due to increased average storage and tariff adjustments mentioned above.

Extrafarma ended 4Q16 with 315 stores, 24% (61 stores) more than in 4Q15. During 4Q16, Extrafarma opened 24 new stores. EBITDA totaled R$ 13 million in 4Q16, 52% year-over-year growth, mainly due to a 28% rise in gross revenues and initiatives to raise management standards in the retail pharmacy network. However, these factors were partially reduced by a larger number of newly opened stores, which are still in their ramp up phase, and by an extraordinary gain in inventory reported in 4Q15.

Ultrapar reported a consolidated EBITDA of R$ 1,122 million in 4Q16 and R$ 4,217 million for 2016, a 5% year-on-year reduction and a 7% year-on-year-growth, respectively. Net income for the 4Q16 was R$ 436 million, down by 12% year-on-year. In 2016, net income totaled R$ 1,571 million, up 4% over 4Q15.

 

 

  Ipiranga

Fuel sales volume for light vehicles (Otto cycle) decreased by 8% compared to 4Q15, despite the 2% growth in the light vehicle fleet, reflecting the economic conditions, worsening of employment rates and the increase in the cost of fuels’ share of wallet. Diesel volume decreased by 19% year-over-year on the back of a weak economy and lower market share in the wholesale segment. Compared to 3Q16, sales volume decreased by 4% but with an Otto cycle growth of 5%, due to seasonality effects between periods. In 2016, Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 23,057 thousand cubic meters, down 9% from 2015.

  Outlook

 

While macroeconomic conditions still recommend caution, thanks to a strategy of differentiation combined with resilience and operational scale, Ultrapar and its businesses were able to report one more year of positive results. At Ipiranga, consistent investments for expanding the service station network and logistics infrastructure will continue to intensify the benefits of vehicle fleet growth in Brazil, albeit at a lower rate. In addition, Ipiranga will continue to implement initiatives, which differentiate it from the competition, based on the increased range of products, services and convenience offerings. This will be instrumental in enhancing, on one hand, customer loyalty while increasing the client base enjoying the benefits of higher value added products and services, on the other, whereas providing the reseller with gains from an additional source of income and differentiated positioning, thus maximizing the profitability of the value chain as a whole. Oxiteno will maintain its investments in innovation through the development of new products and partnerships with clients, as well as through further international expansion with investments in the ethoxylation plant in the United States. Ultragaz will remain dedicated to reaping the benefits from ramping up its investments in expanding the client base, in the continuous search for differentiation and in disciplined administration of costs and expenses, which will contribute to the evolution of results. Ultracargo, in turn, will focus efforts on resuming suspended operations in Santos, without ceasing to examine new business opportunities arising from demand for liquid bulk storage capacity in Brazil. At Extrafarma, we will maintain the accelerated expansion of the company, focusing on raise the management standards in the retail pharmacy network. The strategic derationing of our investments and diversification of our businesses is a reassurance of our outlook for further growth in results.
