Considerations on the financial and operational information

Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information

From the year ending December 31st, 2010 onwards, CVM made mandatory the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the presentation of consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-listed companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar’s consolidated financial statements for years 2010 and 2011 were prepared in compliance with the IFRS, which differs in certain aspects from the previous Brazilian accounting standards.

For an understanding of the effects of the adoption of the IFRS, we released financial spreadsheets on CVM’s website (www.cvm.gov.br), as well as on Ultrapar’s website (www.ultra.com.br), demonstrating the impacts of the accounting changes introduced by the IFRS on the main line items of the financial statements for years 2009 and 2010, in comparison with the amounts that would have been obtained without such changes. Additional information on the changes resulting from the adoption of the IFRS is available in note 2 of the financial statements of the year ended December 31st, 2010.

The financial information of Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo is reported without elimination of intercompany transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to the consolidated financial information of Ultrapar. In addition, except when otherwise indicated, the amounts presented in this document are expressed in millions of Reais and, therefore, are subject to rounding off. Consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables may differ from the direct sum of the amounts that precede them.

Effect of the acquisition – DNP

On October 26th, 2010, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”). The total value of the acquisition is R$ 73 million, with the initial disbursement of R$ 47 million in November 2010 and additional disbursements of R$ 27 million in 2011. Ultrapar’s and Ipiranga’s financial statements started to consolidate the results of the acquired business from the closing of the acquisition, occurred on November 1st, 2010.

Effect of the acquisition – Repsol

On October 20th, 2011, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Repsol Gás Brasil S.A. (“Repsol”). The acquisition value is R$ 50 million. This amount includes R$ 2 million related to the net cash of the acquired company. Ultrapar’s and Ultragaz’s financial statements started to consolidate the results of the acquired business from the closing of the acquisition, occurred also on October 20th, 2011.

Executive summary of the results

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Brazilian economy presented signs of recovery and return to the growth trajectory. The retail sector grew by 7% in October and November when compared with the same period of 2010. Specifically in relation to the automotive sector, the number of vehicles licensed in the 2011 grew by 3% compared with 2010, with 3.4 million light vehicles added to the fleet. In the international scenario, economic instability resulted in a depreciation of the Real against the dollar during 4Q11, ending the period at R$1.88/US$. The maintenance of a less favorable outlook for the global economy contributed to the Central Bank’s decision to decrease the interest rate (SELIC) to 11% in the last meeting of the COPOM (Monetary Policy Committee) in 2011, maintaining a cycle of successive reductions.

In 4Q11, Ultragaz’s sales volume grew by 3% compared with 4Q10, driven by the 7% growth in the bulk segment. Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 51 million in the quarter, down 10% from 4Q10. Excluding one-off effects occurred in 4Q11 and in 4Q10, Ultragaz’s EBITDA in the 4Q11 presented a reduction of 4% over 4Q10, significantly lower than the 18% drop recorded between third quarters. In 2011, Ultragaz’s EBITDA totaled R$ 282 million, down 8% from 2010.

In Ipiranga, the continued growth of the light vehicle fleet and of the Brazilian economy, combined with investments for the network expansion, resulted in a 6% increase in fuel sales volume over 4Q10. Excluding expenses of R$ 16 million related to the preparation for the conversion of Texaco service stations into Ipiranga brand in the Midwest, Northeast, and North regions of Brazil, Ipiranga’s EBITDA totaled R$ 358 million in 4Q11, 11% higher than that in 4Q10, which is equivalent to a unit EBITDA margin of R$ 64/m³. In 2011, Ipiranga’s EBITDA totaled R$ 1,330 million, up 24% over 2010.

Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 179 thousand tons, up 5% over 4Q10, with a 15% increase in the Brazilian market, mainly due to higher sales of glycols, and a 16% decrease in the sales in the international market, as a result of the global economic slowdown. Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 80 million in 4Q11, up 47% over 4Q10, mainly as a result of the recovery in unit margins during the last 12 months, the 6% weaker Real and higher sales volume. In 2011, Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 261 million, 8% growth compared with 2010.

In 4Q11, Ultracargo’s average storage recorded a 13% increase compared with 4Q10, mainly due to an increase in effective storage in the Suape terminal, led by the start up of the expanded terminal in 3Q11, and in the Santos terminal, as a result of increased imports of ethanol. As a result of the increased average storage, Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 29 million in 4Q11, up 16% over 4Q10. In 2011, Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 118 million, up 6% over 2010.

Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 505 million in 4Q11, up 9% over 4Q10, due to the EBITDA growth in Ipiranga, Oxiteno, and Ultracargo. Net earnings for 4Q11 reached R$ 221 million, down 10% from 4Q10, mainly as a result of higher income from sale of assets in 4Q10. In 2011, Ultrapar’s EBITDA totaled R$ 2,011 million, up 13% over 2010, and net earnings totaled R$ 855 million, a 12% growth compared with 2010.

Compared with 3Q11, Ultragaz’s EBITDA decreased by 35%, mainly due to the seasonally lower volume and the non-recurring effects occurred in 4Q11. In 2011, Ultragaz’s EBITDA totaled R$ 282 million, down 8% from 2010.

Ipiranga – Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 342 million in 4Q11, up 6% over 4Q10, amount that includes expenses of R$ 16 million related to the preparation for the conversion of Texaco service stations into the Ipiranga brand in the Midwest, Northeast, and North regions of Brazil. Excluding this effect, Ipiranga’s EBITDA would have totaled R$ 358 million in 4Q11, up 11% over 4Q10, equivalent to a unit EBITDA margin of R$ 64/m³, mainly as a result of the higher sales volume and an improved sales mix. Compared with 3Q11, Ipiranga’s EBITDA decreased by 13% as a result of the seasonally lower volume and the non-recurring effects related to the brand conversion mentioned above, as well as the PIS/Cofins tax credits in 3Q11. In 2011, Ipiranga’s EBITDA totaled R$ 1,330 million, up 24% over 2010.

Oxiteno – Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 80 million in 4Q11, or US$ 247/ton, growth of 47% over 4Q10, mainly as a result of the recovery in margins, the 5% higher sales volume, and the 6% weaker Real. Compared with 3Q11, Oxiteno’s EBITDA increased by 196%, as a result of the same factors described above, and the estimated temporary effects of R$ 32 million related to the cost of goods sold in 3Q11. In 2011, Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 261 million, up 8% over 2010.

Ultracargo – Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 29 million in 4Q11, up 16% over 4Q10, mainly as a result of the increase in effective storage in the Suape terminal, due to the start up of the expanded terminal in 3Q11, and in the Santos terminal, as a result of increased ethanol imports. Compared with 3Q11, Ultracargo’s EBITDA decreased by 4%, mainly due to higher variable compensation. In 2011, Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 118 million, up 6% over 2010, having the growth in the storage business been partially offset by the effect from the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses in July 2010.

Depreciation and amortization – Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 4Q11 amounted to R$ 155 million, up 12% and 5% over 4Q10 and 3Q11, respectively, as a result of higher investments made. In 2011, Ultrapar’s total costs and expenses with depreciation totaled R$ 580 million, up 9% over 2010.

Income from sale of assets – In 4Q11, Ultrapar recorded an income from sale of assets in the total amount of R$ 6 million, R$ 64 million lower than that of the 4Q10, mainly as a result of the higher sale of fixed assets and the receipt related to MaxFácil in 4Q10.

Financial Result – Ultrapar reported R$ 83 million of net financial expense in 4Q11, up R$ 18 million over the net financial expense in 4Q10, mainly due to a higher net debt. Compared with 3Q11, the net financial expense was R$ 5 million higher. At the end of 4Q11, net debt totaled R$ 2,779 million, corresponding to 1.4 times EBITDA for the last 12 months, compared with a ratio of 1.2 times in 4Q10 and 1.5 times in 3Q11. In 2011, Ultrapar’s net financial expense totaled R$ 297 million, up R$ 32 million over 2010.

Net Earnings – Ultrapar’s net earnings reached R$ 221 million in 4Q11, down 10% from 4Q10, mainly as a result of the higher income from sale of assets in 4Q10, partially offset by the higher EBITDA. Compared with 3Q11, net earnings decreased by 2%. In 2011, Ultrapar’s net earnings totaled R$ 855 million, growth of 12% over 2010.

Investments – Total investments, net of disposals and repayments, amounted to R$ 386 million in 4Q11, allocated as follows:

·	At Ultragaz, R$ 31 million were directed mainly to new clients in the bulk segment and to projects for the expansion and modernization of its plants.

At Ipiranga, R$ 241 million were invested, mainly in the conversion of unbranded service stations, new service stations, and renewal of the distribution network.

In 2011, Ultrapar continued an investment strategy oriented to support scale and competitiveness growth, as well as to reinforce the leadership position in its different businesses. Ultrapar’s investments in 2011, net of disposals, totaled R$ 1,090 million, of which R$ 1,013 million were related to organic investments and R$ 77 million were related to acquisitions.

Ultragaz’s investments totaled R$ 182 million in 2011, mainly focused on capturing new clients in the bulk segment, projects of expansion and modernization of filling plants, and replacement of LPG bottles. Additionally, Ultragaz concluded in October 2011 the acquisition of Repsol in the total amount of R$ 50 million, including R$ 2 million related to the net cash of the acquired company. The acquisition of Repsol strengthens Ultragaz’s bulk LPG business, a segment in which Ultragaz was a pioneer and has a relevant position, allowing it to obtain economies of scale in logistics and management, as well as an improved positioning for growth in the bulk segment, where volume progression is correlated to the GDP performance. In 2011, Ipiranga directed R$ 591 million to organic investments aiming at the expansion of its service stations through the conversion of unbranded service stations and the opening of new gas stations, as well as expanding the capacity of its facilities to meet the growing demand of the fuel market. Out of the total amount invested, R$ 548 million were related to additions to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets and R$ 43 million were related to financing to clients, net of repayments. At Oxiteno, the investment amount of R$ 107 million was oriented mainly to the capacity expansion of the ethylene oxide unit at Camaçari (BA). The expanded unit started up in the third quarter of 2011 and added 90 thousand tons/year to its capacity. Ultracargo’s investments totaled R$ 108 million in 2011 and were directed to the expansion of the terminal in Suape, which started operations in September 2011, and the terminals in Aratu and Santos, which will start operations in 2012. The three expansions together will add 15% to Ultracargo’s total capacity.

Ultrapar’s investment plan for 2012, excluding acquisitions, amounts to R$ 1,088 million and aims at growth through increased scale and productivity gains, as well as modernization of existing operations.

At Ultragaz, investments will be mainly dedicated to (i) the expansion of UltraSystem (small bulk), due to the perspective of capturing new clients, (ii) the construction of two new facilities and purchase of LPG bottles, focusing on strengthening its presence in the Northeast and North regions of Brazil and (iii) the replacement of bottles and tanks. At Ipiranga, investments will be focused on the expansion of its service stations (through the opening of new gas stations and the conversion of unbranded service stations) and franchises network, as well as the construction of new facilities, mainly in the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil. Out of Ipiranga’s total investment budget, R$ 715 million refer to additions to property, plant, equipment and intangible assets, and R$ 60 million refer to financing to clients, net of repayments. At Oxiteno, the reduction in investments reflects the conclusion of an important expansion cycle in 2011. The budgeted investments will be mainly directed to the maintenance and modernization of its plants. Ultracargo will direct its investments to the conclusion of the expansions of the Santos and Aratu terminals, which will add 68 thousand cubic meters to the company’s storage capacity and will start up in mid-2012, and for the maintenance of its terminals.

Outlook

The initiatives adopted by Ultrapar’s businesses, in order to increase scale and differentiation, allow the company to have visibility to keep sales volume and earnings growth in 2012.

We expect to keep growing in all businesses, benefiting from the investments made and from the growth of the markets where we operate. Ipiranga will keep its investment plan, focusing on expansion in the North, Northeast, and Midwest regions of Brazil, through new stations and conversion of unbranded service stations. Oxiteno will keep capturing benefits from the conclusion and maturing process of the investments in capacity expansion. Ultracargo will complete in 2012 the expansion of the terminals in Santos and Aratu, which, together with the expansion of the terminal of Suape completed in 2011, will result in a 15% growth over Ultracargo’s storage capacity of 2010. In Ultragaz, the growth of the bulk segment, as a result of the economic growth and the acquisition of Repsol, will contribute to increase the LPG sales volume and, consequently, its results.

The company’s consistent planning and execution, combined with the features of Ultrapar’s businesses – which are partly resilient and partly leveraged on the economic growth – and the implementation of the new corporate governance structure provide the perspective for a continuation of the company’s growth trajectory. Ultrapar will remain alert to growth opportunities, either by acquisitions or organic growth, aiming to repeat in the next decades the growth and value creation presented in its 75 years of existence.
