REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
To the Shareholders, Board of Directors and Management of
Ultrapar Participações S.A.
São Paulo - SP
 
Introduction
 
We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (the “Company”), included in the Interim Financial Information Form (ITR), for the three months ended June 30, 2012, which comprises the balance sheet as of June 30, 2012 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six months then ended and of changes in equity and of cash flows for the six months then ended, including the explanatory notes.
 
The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 - Interim Financial Information and the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 and the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards established by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of the Interim Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
 
Scope of review
 
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards on auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
 
Conclusion on individual interim financial information
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21, applicable to the preparation of the Interim Financial Information (ITR), and presented in accordance with the standards established by the CVM.
 
Conclusion on consolidated interim financial information
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR), and presented in accordance with the standards established by the CVM.

Other matters
 
Statements of value added
 
We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of value added, for the six months ended June 30, 2012, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, the presentation of which is required by the standards issued by the CVM applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR) and considered as supplemental information for International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, that do not require the presentation of these statements. These statements were subject to the same review procedures described above and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, in relation to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
 
Review of individual and consolidated interim financial information for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and audit of individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011
 
The information and the amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, presented for comparison purposes, were previously reviewed by other independent auditors, whose report, without qualification, was issued and dated on August 10, 2011. The information and the amounts for the year ended December 31, 2011, presented for comparison purposes, were previously audited by other independent auditors, whose report, without qualification, was issued and dated on February 15, 2012.
 
The accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 
a.  
Recognition of income

Revenue and cost of sales are recognized when all risks and benefits associated with the products are transferred to the purchaser. Revenue from services provided and their costs are recognized when the services are provided. Costs of products and services sold provided include goods (mainly fuels/lubricants and LPG), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage and filling costs.

b.  
Cash and cash equivalents

Include cash 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 instruments

In accordance with IAS 39 (CPC 38, 39 and 40), the financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries are recorded in accordance with the following categories:

Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets and liabilities held for trading, that is, purchased or created primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term, and derivatives. Changes in fair value are recorded as profit or loss, and the balances are stated at fair value.

Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, with fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. The interest earned is recorded in income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that are not classified into other categories. The interest earned is recorded as income, and the balances are stated at fair value. Differences between fair value and acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recorded in a specific account of the shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses recorded in the shareholders’ equity are included in income in case of prepayment.

Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in active markets, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the short 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 the holder of which cannot substantially recover its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned is recorded as income, and balances are stated at acquisition cost plus the interest earned.

Fair value hedge: derivative financial instrument used to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of an item, attributable to a particular risk, which can affect the entity’s income. Such hedging instruments and the hedged items are measured at fair value.

Hedge accounting: derivative financial instrument used to hedge exposure to a specific risk associated with a recognized asset or liability, which may affect the entity’s income. In the initial designation of the hedge, the relationship between the hedging instruments and the hedged items are documented, including the objectives of risk management, the strategy in the conduction of the transaction and the methods to be used to evaluate its effectiveness.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 4, 14, and 22.

d.  
Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recorded at the amount invoiced, adjusted to present value if applicable, including all direct taxes attributable to the Company and its subsidiaries. Allowance for doubtful accounts is calculated based on estimated losses and is set at an amount deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any loss on realization of trade receivables (see Note 22 - Customer credit risk).

e.  
Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost or net realizable value. The cost value of inventory is calculated using the weighted average cost and includes the cost 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 of the last month 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 made. Provisions are also made for obsolescence of products, materials or supplies that (i) do not meet the Company’s 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 team.

f.  
Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the interim financial information of the parent company. Investments in associates in which management has a significant influence or in which it holds 20% or more of the voting stock, or that are part of a group under shared control are also accounted for the equity method of accounting (see Note 11).

In the consolidated interim financial information the investments in joint control entities are consolidated proportionally by the Company (see Note 3). The other investments are stated at acquisition cost less provision for losses, unless the loss is considered temporary.

g.  
Property, plant and equipment

Recorded 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 Note 18).

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in Note 12, taking into account the economic life of the assets, which is annually revised.

Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the contract term and useful/economic 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 are stated at 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 straight-line method based on the useful lives applicable to each group of assets as mentioned in Note 12 and 13. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to income over the contract term, based on the amortized cost and the effective interest rate method (see Note 14.h).

•           Operating leases

There are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where 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 expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract (see Note 23.g).

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 as of January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible asset 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 to verify the existence of probable losses (impairment). Goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes.

• Bonus disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recorded when incurred 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, for the periods mentioned in Note 13, taking into account their economic life, which is annually revised.

The Company and its subsidiaries have not recorded intangible assets that were created internally or that have an indefinite useful life, except for goodwill.

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.t).

k.  
Current and non-current liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables, loans, debentures and hedging instruments.

Current and non-current liabilities are stated at known or measurable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary changes and changes in exchange rates incurred until the date of the interim financial information. When applicable, the current and non-current liabilities are recorded at present value based on interest rates that reflect the term, currency and risk of each transaction.

Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the activities necessary for contracting loans or for issuing bonds, as well as premiums in the issuance of debentures and other debt or equity instruments, are allocated to the instrument and amortized to income over its term, using the effective interest rate method.

l.  
Income and social contribution taxes

Current and deferred income tax (“IRPJ”) and social contribution on net income tax (“CSLL”) are calculated based on the current rates of income and social contribution taxes, including the value of tax incentives. Taxes are recognized based on the rates of income tax and social contribution on net income provided for by the laws enacted on the last day of the interim financial information. For further details about recognition and realization of income and social contribution on net income taxes, see Note 9.

m.  
Provision for assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

Corresponds to 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 recorded as a liability when tanks are installed. The estimated cost is also recorded in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are monetarily restated until the respective tank is removed (see Note 18). A rise in estimated cost of the obligation to remove the tanks could result in negative impact in future results. The estimated removal cost is revised periodically.

n.  
Tax, civil and labor provisions

A provision for tax, civil and labor is created for quantifiable risks, when chance of loss is more-likely-than-not in the opinion of management and internal and external legal counsel, and the amounts are recorded based on evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 23).

o.  
Actuarial obligation for post-employment benefits

Actuarial liabilities for 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 24.b). The actuarial gains and losses are recognized in income.

p.  
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 on the date of each transaction. Outstanding monetary assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries are converted at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in income until the conclusion of each transaction.

q.  
Basis for translation of interim financial information of foreign subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries Oxiteno Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“Oxiteno Mexico”) and its subsidiaries, located in Mexico (functional currency: Mexican Peso), and Oxiteno Andina, C.A. (“Oxiteno Andina”), located in Venezuela (functional currency: Bolivares Fortes), denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Real), are translated at the exchange rate valid on the date of the interim financial information. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments and will be recognized as income if these investments are disposed of. The recorded balance in comprehensive income and presented in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of June 30, 2012 was R$ 5,097 of exchange rate gain (R$ 4,426 loss as of December 31, 2011).

According to IAS 29, since 2010, Venezuela is regarded as a hyperinflationary economy. As a result, the interim financial information of Oxiteno Andina was adjusted by the Venezuelan Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have administrative autonomy, are considered extended activities of the parent company and are translated at the exchange rate in effect by the end of the respective period. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income or loss. The gain recognized as income as of June 30, 2012 amounted to R$ 2,036 (R$ 857 loss as of June 30, 2011).

r.  
Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments

The preparation of interim financial information requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments for the accounting of certain assets, liabilities and income. Thereunto, the Company and subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the time of preparation of the interim financial information, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The interim financial information therefore include estimates, assumptions and judgments related mainly to determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 4, 14 and 22), the determination of provisions for income taxes (Note 9), the useful life of property, plants and equipment (Note 12), the economic life of intangible assets and impairment of goodwill (Note 13), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Note 18), tax, civil and labor provisions (Note 23) and estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Note 24). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from estimates.

s.  
Impairment of assets

The Company reviews, at least annually, the existence of indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication, the Company estimates 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 (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.

To assess the value in use, the Company considers 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 future cash flows are less than their carrying amount, the 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 income. 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 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 loss of value had not been recognized.

No impairment was recorded in the periods presented.

t.  
Adjustment to present value

The Company’s subsidiaries booked an adjustment to present value of Tax on Goods and Services (“ICMS”) credit balances related to property, plant and equipment (CIAP – see Note 7). Because recovery of these credits occurs over a 48 months period, the present value adjustment reflects, in the interim financial information, the time value of the recovery of ICMS credits.

The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as non-current and, where relevant, current assets and liabilities and did not identify a need to adjust other balances to present value.

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
The subsidiary Oxiteno Shanghai Trading LTD. was formed in May 2012 and is engaged in commercial representation.

The T.T.S.S.P.E was formed in June 2012 to segregate part of the activity of production and sale of catalysts for disposal.


a) Business combination – acquisition of Repsol Gás Brasil S.A. (“Repsol”)
 
On October 20, 2011, the Company, through its subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Cia. Ultragaz”), acquired a 100% equity interest in Repsol. The total acquisition amount was R$ 49,822. This acquisition strengthens Ultragaz’s bulk LPG business, providing economies of scale in logistics and management, and a better position for growth in the bulk segment in the Southeast. After the acquisition, its name was changed to Distribuidora de Gás LP Azul S.A.

The purchase price paid for the shares was allocated among the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, valued at fair value. During the process of identification of assets and liabilities, intangible assets which were not recognized in the acquired entity’s books were also taken into account. The goodwill is R$ 13,403. The value added for assets acquired, which was determined by an independent appraiser and has a value of R$ 16,555 based on its report, reflects the difference between the market value and the book value of such assets. The table below summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date:

b. Key executives - Compensation (Consolidated)

The Company’s compensation strategy combines short and long-term elements, following the principles of alignment of interests and of maintenance of a competitive compensation, and is aimed at retaining key officers and remunerating them adequately according to their attributed responsibilities and the value created to the Company and its shareholders.

Short-term compensation is comprised of: (a) fixed monthly compensation paid with the objective of rewarding the executive’s experience, responsibility and his/her position’s complexity, and includes salary and benefits such as medical coverage, check-up, life insurance and other similar benefits; (b) variable compensation paid annually with the objective of aligning the executive’s and the Company’s objectives, which is linked to: (i) the business performance measured through its economic value creation and (ii) the fulfillment of individual annual goals that are based on the strategic plan and are focused on expansion and operational excellence projects, people development and market positioning, among others. Further details about the Deferred Stock Plan are contained in Note 8.c) and about post employment benefits in Note 24.b). In addition, in 2011 the Company had a long-term variable compensation plan with the purpose of aligning the long-term interests of executive officers and shareholders, as well as the retention of these executives, which provided the payment in 2012 to Ultrapar’executive officers relating to the Company’s shares’ performance between 2006 and 2011, reflecting the goal of at least doubling the value of the Company’s share within 5 years.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries recorded expenses for compensation of its management (Company’s directors and executive officers) in the amount of R$ 15,100 (R$ 13,293 as of June 30, 2011).

c. Deferred Stock Plan

On April 27, 2001, the General Shareholders’ Meeting approved a plan for granting stock options 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 held as treasury stock and the ownership of these shares is retained by 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 Deferred Stock Plan participant by the company 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. As of June 30, 2012, the amount granted to the company’s executives, including tax charges, totaled R$ 42,933 (R$ 44,436 as of December 31, 2011). This amount is amortized over the vesting period of Deferred Stock Plan. The amortization for the period ended on June 30, 2012 in the amount of R$ 2,549 (R$ 3,004 as of June 30, 2011) was recorded as a general and administrative expense. The values of the awards were determined on the granting date based on the market value of these shares on the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBOVESPA”), the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange.

On December 31, 2011 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, 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.

The evaluation of the value in use is calculated for a period of five years, after which we calculate the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely.

The growth and discount rates used to extrapolate the projections as of December 31, 2011, over the five year period ranged from 0% to 8% and 10.5% to 28.2%, respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed.

The Company’s goodwill impairment tests did not result in the recognition of losses for the year ended December 31, 2011.

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.

The Company records as technology certain rights held by the subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste and Oleoquímica. 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.

Commercial property rights include those described below:

On July 11, 2002, subsidiary Terminal Químico de Aratu S.A. – Tequimar (“Tequimar”) executed 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 over the period from August 2002 to July 2042.

In addition, subsidiary Tequimar has a lease contract for an area adjacent to the Port of Santos for 20 years from December 2002, renewable for another 20 years, 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 over the period from August 2005 to December 2022.

Banco do Brasil

The subsidiary IPP has fixed and floating interest rate loans with Banco do Brasil to finance the marketing, processing or manufacturing of agricultural goods (ethanol).

Guarantees

The financings are guaranteed by collateral in the amount of R$ 133,772 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 89,231 as of December 31, 2011) and by guarantees and promissory notes in the amount of R$ 1,761,847 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 1,841,760 as of December 31, 2011).

In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries offer collateral in the form of letters of credit for commercial and legal proceedings in the amount of R$ 184,349 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 135,051 as of December 31, 2011).

Some subsidiaries issued 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$ 5,771 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 11,843 as of December 31, 2011), with maturities of less than 210 days. As of June 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries did not have losses in connection with these collaterals. The fair value of collaterals recognized in current liabilities is R$ 141 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 286 as of December 31, 2011), which is recognized as income as customers settle their obligations with the financial institutions.

Some financing agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries have cross default clauses that require them to pay the debt assumed in case of default of other debts equal to or greater than US$ 15 million. As of June 30, 2012, there was no event of default of the debts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

These suppliers control almost all the markets for these products in Brazil. The Company and its 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. The Company believes that its relationship with suppliers is satisfactory.

Deferred revenue of unredeemed points is also recognized in income when the points expire.
 
The franchising upfront fee related to the ‘am/pm’ convenience store chain received by Ipiranga is deferred and recognized in income on an accrual basis, based on the substance of the agreements with the franchisees.

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 by 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 financial assets, 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 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 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, fund raising, 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 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 Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in 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 currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated below, translated into Reais as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

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, debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in Note 14.

The Company does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of June 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries had interest rate derivative financial instruments linked to domestic loans, swapping the pre-fixed interest of certain debts to floating rate (CDI).

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 cash equivalents, 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 volumes of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and hedging instruments are subject to maximum limits by institution and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

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 credit rating and are additionally mitigated by 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) financings. 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 or through joint ventures, or associated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, debt financing (including by accessing  capital markets), through capital increases or through a combination of these methods.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries believe to have enough working capital to satisfy their current needs. The gross indebtedness due over the next twelve months totals R$ 1,954 million. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2012 totals R$ 1,088 million. On June 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 2,345 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term financial investments (for quantitative information, see Notes 4 and 14).

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 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 InstrumentsGovernance, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk monitoring 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 June 30, 2012 are described below, according to their category, risk, and protection strategy:

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 Reais linked to CDI, and (ii) change a financial investment of R$ 36.4 million, linked to the CDI and given as guarantee to loan in U.S. dollar, into a financial investment linked to U.S. dollar. As of June 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 185.9 million in notional amount, of which (i) US$ 125.9 million, on average, had asset position at US$ + 4.7 p.a. and liability position at 118.8 % of CDI and (ii) US$ 60 million had asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 1.0% a.a. and liability position at 86.9% of CDI.

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. As of June 30, 2012, these swap contracts totaled US$ 11.9 million and, on average, had an asset position at 76% of CDI and liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

Hedging against the interest rate fixed in local financing - The purpose of these contracts is to convert the interest rate on financing contracted in Reais from fixed into floating. On June 30, 2012 these swap contracts totaled R$ 1,400 million of notional amount, and on average had an asset position at 11.9% p.a. and liability position at 98.8% of CDI.


Hedge accounting
 
The Company and its subsidiaries test, throughout the duration of the hedge, the effectiveness of their derivatives, as well as the changes in their fair value. The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to offset the variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of financing contracted in Reais as fair value hedge. As mentioned on item (c) of the table above, as of June 30, 2012 the notional amount of such hedging instruments totaled R$ 1,400 million. The Company and its subsidiaries recognized a gain of R$ 22.3 million as of June 30, 2012, of which R$ 68 million refer to the result of hedging instruments and R$ (45.7) million refer to the fair value adjustment of the debt.

The fair values of cash and bank deposits 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 interim financial information, 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 fair value calculation of LPG Inc.’s notes in the foreign market (see Note 14.b), is based on the quoted prices in an active market.

The fair value of other financial investments and financings was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for marking-to-market, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. 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 realized 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 (see Note 4), (iii) funding from Banco do Brasil that is measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 14.f) and (iv) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 14.j), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Thus, trade receivables are classified as loans and receivables and trade payables and other payables are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.


Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments on the balance sheet

The financial instruments recognized at fair value on the balance sheet 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).

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, 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 June 29, 2012. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.61 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Real against the likely scenario, according to the risk to which the hedged item is exposed.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of June 30, 2012, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of June 30, 2012 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract on BM&FBOVESPA as of June 29, 2012 for each of the swap and debt (hedged item) maturities, to determine the likely scenarios. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the likely scenario pre-fixed interest rate.

Based on the three scenarios of interest rates in Reais, the Company estimated the values of its debt and hedging instruments according to the risk which is being hedged (variations in the pre-fixed interest rates in Reais), by projecting them to future value at the contracted rates and bringing them to present value at the interest rates of the estimated scenarios. The result is shown in the table below:

b.  Tax matters

More-likely-than-not contingencies – assets and liabilities

The Company and some of its subsidiaries filed a request for preliminary injunction seeking not to be subject to the legislation that restricts the offset of tax losses (IRPJ) and negative tax bases (CSLL) derived from tax loss carryforwards assessed until 1994 to 30% of the income for the year. As a result of the Federal Supreme Court (STF)’s view and based on the opinion of legal counsel, the Company and its subsidiaries maintained a total provision of R$ 6,801 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 6,707 as of December 31, 2011) in connection with this contingency.

Subsidiary IPP filed a declaratory action questioning the constitutionality of Law No. 9,316/1996, that denied the deduction of IRPJ from the CSLL tax basis. This action was denied at lower court levels and the extraordinary appeal filed has been postponed until the trial of the leading case by the STF is completed. The subsidiary made escrow deposits of the amounts disputed and maintained a provision of R$ 18,807 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 18,413 as of December 31, 2011) in connection with this contingency.

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia Ultragaz, Tequimar, RPR, Tropical, Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) and IPP filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from their PIS and COFINS tax bases. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained the right to pay the amounts into escrow deposits through an injunction, and recorded a corresponding provision in the amount of R$ 79,481 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 75,636 as of December 31, 2011). The subsidiaries EMCA, Tropical, Oxiteno S.A., Cia. Ultragaz and Tequimar did not obtain an injunction. The trial of these and all claims involving this issue are suspended pending the outcome of a leading case. On May 2, 2007, a court decision granted the injunction to the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste; a mandatory appeal of this decision is currently pending trial. The lawsuits involving subsidiaries IPP and RPR are still pending a court decision.

The Company and its subsidiaries obtained preliminary injunctions to pay contributions to PIS and COFINS without the changes introduced by Law 9,718/1998 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of these contributions on sources of income other than gross revenue. In 2005, the STF decided the question in favor of the taxpayers. Although this has set a favorable precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await the formal decision in their own lawsuits. Certain lawsuits of the Company’s other subsidiaries are currently pending trial and, in the event all such lawsuits are decided in favor of the subsidiaries, the Company estimates that the total positive effect on income before income and social contribution taxes, may reach R$ 37,049, net of attorney’s fees.

The Company and its subsidiaries maintain provision for PIS and COFINS, calculated on the basis of interest on equity. The total amount accrued as of June 30, 2012 was R$ 4,351 (R$ 4,236 as of December 31, 2011).

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 were required to make escrow deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 266,774 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 242,058 as of December 31, 2011) and have recorded a corresponding liability.

The subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. maintained a provision of R$ 14,965 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 14,285 as of December 31, 2011) related to a tax assessment based on alleged undue ICMS credits taken on invoices issued for the symbolic return of raw materials that had previously been delivered to the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste for industrialization.

IPP has provisions for contingencies related to ICMS, mainly with respect to: (a) ICMS credits taken for the difference between the value that was the basis for the retention of ICMS and the ICMS amount in sales to final consumers, which resulted in an excessive retention of ICMS by the refineries: R$ 3,254, (b) tax notices filed in connection with interstate sales of fuel to industrial customers without the payment of ICMS in accordance with the interpretation of Article 2 of Supplementary Law No. 87/1996: R$ 11,726, (c) requirement of ICMS-ST (State VAT Substitution) on interstate sales from distributors to final consumers due to the exemption under ICMS Conventions No. 105/1992 and No. 112/1993: R$ 5,390, and (d) payment of ICMS for several reasons that resulted in tax assessments for which the proof of payment is not so evident: R$ 16,872.

Possible contingencies

The main tax claims of subsidiary IPP classified as having a possible risk of loss, and that have not been recorded in the interim financial information due to this assessment, are related to: (a) the required proportional reversal of ICMS credits recorded on the purchase of ethanol that was later resold at lower prices as a result of PROÁLCOOL, a Federal Government program to encourage alcohol production, determining the anticipation of financial subsidy by the distributors to the mill owners and their subsequent reimbursement by the DNC (current National Oil Agency), R$ 99,150, (b) alleged undue ICMS credits for which the tax authorities understand that there was no proof of origin, R$ 21,496, (c) assessments for alleged non-payment of ICMS, R$ 24,448, (d) assessment issued in Ourinhos/SP in connection with the return of ethanol loans made with deferred tax, R$ 34,048, (e) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits on interstate sales made under Article 33 of ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the use of the ICMS credit but was suspended by an injunction granted by STF, R$ 15,770, (f) ICMS credits taken in relation to bills considered invalid, though the understanding of the STJ is that it is possible to take credit, even if there is defect in the document of the seller, as long as it is confirmed that the transaction occurred, R$ 27,419; (g) assessments arising from surplus or shortage of inventory, generated by differences in temperature or handling of the product, without the corresponding issuance of invoices, R$ 20,573, (h) infraction relating to ICMS credits due to alleged non-compliance with legal formalities, R$ 27,812 and; (i) assessments arising from ICMS credits related to inputs of ethanol from certain States that had granted tax benefits to producers of alcohol in alleged disagreement with the law, R$ 21,641.

Subsidiary IPP has assessments invalidating the set-off of 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 non-provisioned amount of this contingency, updated as of June 30, 2012, is R$ 78,663 (R$ 78,508 as of December 31, 2011).

c.  Civil claims

More-likely-than-not contingencies

Certain subsidiaries are defendants in lawsuits and administrative proceedings, mainly derived from contracts entered into with customers and former services providers, as well as proceedings related to environmental issues. The Company and its subsidiaries maintained total provisions of R$ 81,431 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 81,541 as of December 31, 2011) for such contingencies.

Possible and remote contingencies

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is party to an administrative proceeding before CADE (Brazilian antitrust authority) based on alleged anti-competitive practices in the State of Minas Gerais in 2001. The CADE entered a decision against Cia. Ultragaz imposing a penalty of R$ 23,104. The imposition of such administrative decision was suspended by a court order and its merit is being judicially reviewed. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of legal counsel, the subsidiary did not record a provision for this contingency.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is the defendant in lawsuits relating to damages caused by an explosion in 1996 in a shopping mall in the city of Osasco, State of São Paulo. These lawsuits involve: (i) individual claims filed by victims of the explosion claiming damages for the loss of economic benefit and for pain and suffering, (ii) indemnification of management of the shopping mall and its insurance company, and (iii) a lawsuit seeking indemnification for material damages and pain and suffering for all the victims injured and deceased. The subsidiary believes that it has presented evidence that the defective gas pipes in the shopping mall caused the accident and that Ultragaz’s on-site LPG storage facilities did not contribute to the explosion. From the 65 lawsuits currently adjudicated, 64 judgments were rendered in the subsidiary favor, of which 45 have already been dismissed. The one unfavorable decision, which the subsidiary  may appeal, was for damages in the amount of R$ 17. The subsidiary has not recorded a provision for these lawsuits as it believes that the probability of loss is remote and its insurance policy covers the full amount in dispute.

d.  Labor matters

More-likely-than-not contingencies

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions of R$ 44,385 as of June 30, 2012 (R$ 45,145 as of December 31, 2011) for labor litigation filed by former employees and by employees of our service providers mainly contesting the alleged non-payment of labor rights (dismissal cost, overtime, hazardous activities additional remuneration and additional payment for insalubrity).


Possible contingencies

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. Individual claims were rejected. The collective bargain agreement is currently pending trial by STF. In the second half of 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective bargain agreement dispute. Based on the opinion of their legal advisors, that reviewed the latest STF decision in the collective bargain agreement dispute as well as the status of the individual claims involving the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, the management of such subsidiaries believed that it was not necessary to record a provision as of June 30, 2012.


The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings of tax, civil and labor nature, which were estimated by their legal counsel as possible and/or remote risk (less-likely-than-50%), and the related potential losses were not provided for by the Company and its subsidiaries based on these opinions. The Company and its subsidiaries also have litigations for recovery of taxes and contributions, which were not recorded in the interim financial information due to their contingent nature.

e.   Contracts

Subsidiary Tequimar has agreements with CODEBA and Complexo Industrial Portuário Governador Eraldo Gueiros in connection with its port facilities in Aratu and Suape, respectively. Such agreements establish a minimum cargo movement of products, as shown below:

Port
Minimum movement in tons per year

2027
Suape
400,000
2029


If the annual movement is less than the minimum contractual movement, the subsidiary is liable to pay the difference between the effective movement and the minimum contractual movement, based on the port tariff rates in effect on the date established for payment. As of June 30, 2012, these rates were R$ 5.79 per ton for Aratu and R$ 1.38 per ton for Suape. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement required since the beginning of the agreements.

Subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste has a supply agreement with Braskem S.A. which establishes a minimum quarterly consumption level of ethylene and conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021. The minimum purchase commitment and the actual demand accumulated to June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, expressed in tons of ethylene, are shown below. Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, the subsidiary would be liable for a fine of 40% of the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased. The minimum purchase commitment clause is in renegotiation with Braskem.

The minimum purchase is 22,050 tons of ethylene semiannually. Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, the subsidiary would be liable for a fine of 30% of the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased. The subsidiary has met the minimum purchase required since the beginning of the agreement.

f.   Insurance coverage in subsidiaries

The Company maintains appropriate insurance policies with the objective of covering several risks to which it is exposed, including property insurance against losses caused by fire, lightning, explosion of any kind, gale, aircraft crash, electric damage, and other risks, covering the facilities and other branches of all subsidiaries, except RPR, which maintains its own insurance. The maximum compensation value, including loss of profits, based on the risk analysis of maximum loss possible at a certain site is US$ 1,509 million.

The General Liability Insurance program covers the Company and its subsidiaries with a maximum aggregate coverage of US$ 400 million against losses caused to third parties as a result of accidents related to commercial and industrial operations and/or distribution and sale of products and services.

In addition, group life and personal accident, health and national and international transportation and other insurance policies are also maintained.

The coverages and limits of the insurance policies maintained are based on a careful study of risks and losses conducted by independent insurance advisors, and the type of insurance is considered by management to be sufficient to cover potential losses based on the nature of the business conducted by the companies.

Employee benefits and private pension plan (Consolidated)

a.  ULTRAPREV- Associação 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 Company and each of its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev — Associação 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. As of June 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 7,647 (R$ 7,063 as of June 30, 2011) to Ultraprev, which amount is recorded as expense in the income statement.

In 1H12, total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses amounted to R$ 330 million, up 18% over 1H11.

Operating income: Ultrapar’s operating income amounted to R$ 409 million in 2Q12, up 12% over 2Q11, as a consequence of the increase seen in the operating income of Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Compared with 1Q12, Ultrapar’s operating income increased by 21%, mainly as a result of seasonality between periods. In 1H12, Ultrapar’s operating income totaled R$ 747 million, up 7% over 1H11.

Financial income (expense): Ultrapar reported R$ 85 million of net financial expense in 2Q12, R$ 15 million and R$ 22 million increase over the net financial expense in 2Q11 and 1Q12, respectively, mainly due to the effects of exchange rate fluctuations in the periods. At the end of 2Q12, net debt totaled R$ 3,158 million, corresponding to 1.5 times EBITDA for the last 12 months, compared with a ratio of 1.4 times in 2Q11 and 1.6 times in 1Q12. In 1H12, Ultrapar reported R$ 148 million of net financial expense, an R$ 11 million increase over the net financial expense in 1H11.

Income tax and social contribution / Tax incentives: Ultrapar reported income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays of R$ 90 million, compared with expenses of R$ 79 million in 2Q11 and R$ 84 million in 1Q12, an increase of 14% and 8%, respectively, mainly as a result of a higher pre-tax profit. In 1H12, Ultrapar reported income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays of R$ 174 million, up 14% over 1H11.

Net income: Ultrapar’s consolidated net income in 2Q12 amounted to R$ 234 million, up 9% and 22% over 2Q11 and 1Q12, respectively, mainly due to the EBITDA growth between the periods. In 1H12, Ultrapar’s reported net income totaled R$ 425 million, up 4% over 1H11.

EBITDA: Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 579 million in 2Q12, up 15% over 2Q11, as a result of the EBITDA growth in Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Compared with 1Q12, Ultrapar’s EBITDA increased by 15%, due to the EBITDA growth in all businesses. In 1H12, Ultrapar’s EBITDA totaled R$ 1,081 million, up 11% over 1H11.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 65 million in 2Q12, an 18% reduction from 2Q11, mainly due to the effects of inflation on costs and expenses and higher expenses related to marketing and sales campaigns. Compared with 1Q12, the Ultragaz’s EBITDA increased by 5%, mainly due to the seasonally higher volume. In 1H12, Ultragaz’s EBITDA totaled R$ 126 million, a 17% reduction compared with 1H11.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 375 million in 2Q12, up 22% over 2Q11, amount that includes the positive non-recurring effect of R$ 22 million from a material sale of land and R$ 13 million expenses related to the return of the Ipiranga brand to the Midwest, Northeast, and North regions of Brazil. Excluding these effects, Ipiranga’s EBITDA would have totaled R$ 365 million in 2Q12, up 19% over 2Q11, equivalent to a unit EBITDA margin of R$ 64/m³, mainly due to the increased sales volume and the evolution of prices and costs of ethanol. Compared with 1Q12, Ipiranga’s EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, increased by 4%, mainly due to the seasonally higher volume. In 1H12, Ipiranga’s EBITDA totaled R$ 711 million, up 20% over 1H11.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 98 million in 2Q12, or US$ 270/ton, up 22% over 2Q11, mainly due to higher sales volume and a 23% weaker Real, partially offset by the extraordinarily favorable sales mix in 2Q11 and lower prices of glycol in the international market in 2Q12. Compared with 1Q12, Oxiteno’s EBITDA increased by 53%, mainly due to the 11% weaker Real and a reduction in unit variable costs in dollar. In 1H12, the Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 162 million, up 5% over 1H11.
 
Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 36 million in 2Q12, a 19% increase over 2Q11, mainly due to contractual tariff adjustments and an improved mix of products. Compared with 1Q12, Ultracargo’s EBITDA increased by 12%, due to increased average storage at its terminals. In 1H12, Ultracargo's EBITDA totaled R$ 69 million, up 17% over 1H11.

The purpose of including EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) information is to provide a measure used by the management for internal assessment of our operating results. It is also a financial indicator widely used by investors and analysts to measure our ability to generate cash from operations and our operating performance. The table presented below shows the reconciliation between Ultrapar’s operating income and EBITDA.

Our definition of EBITDA may differ from, and, therefore, may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. In managing our business we rely on EBITDA as a means for assessing our operating performance and a portion of our employee profit sharing plan is linked to EBITDA performance. Because EBITDA excludes income from sale of assets, net financial expense (income), equity in earnings of affiliates, income tax and social contribution, depreciation and amortization, it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or changes in income tax and social contribution, or levels of income from sale of assets, depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, we believe that this type of measurement is useful for comparing general operating performance from period to period and making certain related management decisions. We also calculate EBITDA in connection with covenants related to some of our financing. We believe that EBITDA enhances the understanding of our financial performance and our ability to satisfy principal and interest obligations with respect to our indebtedness as well as to fund capital expenditures and working capital requirements. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, as a measure of operating performance, as a substitute for cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses and income taxes, depreciation or capital expenditures and associated charges.


We hereby inform that in accordance with the requirements of CVM Resolution 381/03, our independent auditors Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes have not performed during these six months of 2012 any service other than the audit of the financial statements and the review of interim financial information of Ultrapar and subsidiaries.

We acquired, through Ultracargo, a terminal for liquids at the port of Itaqui, in Maranhão, where we did not yet have operations. We also acquired a specialty chemicals company in Uruguay, strengthening Oxiteno’s scale and positioning in the Southern Cone. In addition, we closed another quarter of growth in volumes and results, despite facing less favorable macroeconomic environment.”

Highlights
 
Ø
Acquisition of liquid bulk terminal at the port of Itaqui On May 27th, 2012, Ultrapar announced the acquisition, through Ultracargo, of TEMMAR - Terminal Marítimo do Maranhão S.A., a modern and well-designed terminal in the port area of Itaqui, Maranhão. The financial settlement of the acquisition occurred on July 31st, 2012, in the amount of R$ 160 million, yet including the assumption of net debt in the amount of R$ 91 million. In addition, Ultrapar will disburse extra amount of at least R$ 12 million, amount that may reach approximately R$ 30 million, as a result of possible future expansions in the storage capacity of the terminal, provided that such expansions are implemented within the next 7 years. The port of Itaqui has a privileged location and efficient logistics, which includes access to railway and is responsible for supplying the fuel market in the states of Maranhão, Piauí and Tocantins, where fuel consumption has grown above the national average. This acquisition marks the entry of Ultracargo in this important market and enhances its operational scale, strengthening its position as a provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil and adding 8% to the company’s current capacity.

Ø
Acquisition of specialty chemicals company in Uruguay On May 28th, 2012, Ultrapar signed, through Oxiteno, a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of American Chemical I.C.S.A., a Uruguayan specialty chemicals company. The total value of the acquisition is US$ 79 million, subject to the customary working capital and net debt adjustments on the closing date. American Chemical owns a plant in Montevideo, Uruguay, with production capacity of 81 thousand tons of specialty chemicals, particularly sulfonates and sulfates surfactants for the home and personal care industries, as well as products for the leather industry. The plant is located close to the Montevideo port, providing efficient logistics to exports and to serve the Southern Cone countries, where home and personal care markets have presented significant growth. Oxiteno currently supplies the demand of the Southern Cone with products made in Brazil. This acquisition will strengthen its position in the region as a producer of surfactants and specialty chemicals and allow commercial, operational and administrative gains, which will enable the acquired business to obtain profitability similar to that of Oxiteno. Through the acquisition of American Chemical, Oxiteno continues the international expansion of its activities, started in 2003 and based on its deep knowledge of the technology for production and application of surfactants and specialty chemicals and on its strong relationship with its clients. The closing is subject to the compliance with certain conditions precedent, notably the favorable result of the due diligence. This transaction was submitted to the competent regulatory authorities.

Ø
Payment of R$ 273 million in dividends – The Board of Directors of Ultrapar approved today a dividend payment of R$ 273 million, equivalent to R$ 0.51 per share, as an advance of the dividends for the fiscal year 2012, to be paid from August 17th, 2012 onwards. This amount represents a 64% payout on the net earnings of the first half of 2012 and an annualized dividend yield of 3% on Ultrapar’s average share price during the period.

Ø
Ultrapar receives important awards – Ultrapar was awarded the best-performing company in the special category Sustainability by Agência Estado in 2011. Ultrapar was also ranked 4th in the “Prêmio Destaque Agência Estado 2012”, a listed companies ranking developed in partnership with Economática, in which each company is evaluated on several aspects such as the appreciation of the shares, returns, dividends, volatility, among others. Additionally, Ipiranga was awarded the best company in the wholesale segment in Revista Exame’s Maiores e Melhores publication.

Executive summary of the results
 
Throughout the first half of 2012, the Brazilian economy presented a trend of gradual deceleration in its growth, leading market participants to significantly reduce their growth forecasts for the year, which contributed to the adoption of countercyclical measures by the Brazilian government. One of these measures was the reduction, in May, of federal taxes charged in the automotive sector, which resulted in a 19% increase in the number of light vehicles licensed in June 2012 compared to June 2011. The number of light vehicles licensed in 2Q12 was approximately 860 thousand, totaling 1.6 million light vehicles licensed in 2012, which corresponds to 5% of the light vehicle fleet at the end of 2011. The economic instability also resulted in a strong depreciation of the Real against the dollar during the 2Q12, ending the period quoted at R$ 2.02/US$, 11% above the closing rate of 1Q12. The continued less favorable outlook in the global economy, the deceleration of the economic activity in Brazil and the declining inflation rates in Brazil contributed to the successive reductions in interest rate (SELIC) by the Central Bank, which reached 8.0% in July 2012.

In 2Q12, Ultragaz presented a 2% growth in sales volume compared to 2Q11, driven by a 7% growth in the bulk segment, resulting from the acquisition of Repsol’s LPG business in October 2011, the increased consumption by large customers and the capture of new clients. In 2Q12, Ultragaz's EBITDA decreased by 18% compared to 2Q11, mainly due to the effects of inflation on costs and expenses and higher expenses related to marketing and sales campaigns.

At Ipiranga, the continued growth of the light vehicle fleet and of the Brazilian economy, in addition to investments for the network expansion, resulted in a 6% increase in fuel sales volume over 2Q11, which contributed to a 22% growth in EBITDA over 2Q11, reaching R$ 375 million in 2Q12. Excluding non-recurring items, Ipiranga's EBITDA totaled R$ 365 million in 2Q12, 19% higher than 2Q11, equivalent to a unit EBITDA margin of R$ 64/m³.

At Oxiteno, sales volume totaled 185 thousand tons, up 21% over 2Q11, with a 28% growth in the domestic market, due to increased sales of glycols and specialty chemicals. Oxiteno’s EBITDA in 2Q12 was R$ 98 million, a 22% growth over 2Q11, mainly due to the effect of a 23% weaker Real during 2Q12 and the increased sales volume, partially offset by the exceptionally attractive sales mix in 2Q11 and lower glycol prices in the international market in 2Q12, resulting in an EBITDA margin of US$ 270/ton.

In 2Q12, Ultracargo’s average storage increased by 1% compared to 2Q11. Ultracargo's EBITDA totaled R$ 36 million in 2Q12, up 19% over 2Q11, mainly due to contractual tariff adjustments and improved mix of products handled and contracts.

Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 579 million in 2Q12, up 15% over 2Q11, due to the growth in the EBITDA of Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Net income for 2Q12 totaled R$ 234 million, 9% higher than that of 2Q11, due to the EBITDA growth.

Operational performance
 
 
Ultragaz – In 2Q12, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 426 thousand tons, up 2% over 2Q11, driven by the 7% growth in the bulk segment, as a consequence of higher consumption by large customers and the acquisition of Repsol’s LPG business, which exclusively operated in this segment, and the process of capturing new clients. Compared with 1Q12, sales volume increased by 5%, mainly as a result of seasonality between periods. In the semester, Ultragaz sales volume totaled 829 thousand tons, up 4% over 1H11.

Ipiranga  Ipiranga' sales volume totaled 5,709 thousand cubic meters in 2Q12, up 6% over 2Q11. In 2Q12, sales volume of fuels for light vehicles increased by 8%, due to the growth in the vehicle fleet and investments made in network expansion. The volume of diesel increased by 5% compared to 2Q11, due to investments to capture new clients and, to a lesser extent, the growth of the Brazilian economy. Compared with 1Q12, total sales increased by 5%, mainly due to seasonality between periods. In 1H12, Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 11,156 thousand cubic meters, a growth of 8% over the volume of 1H11.

Oxiteno  Oxiteno’s sales volume in 2Q12 totaled 185 thousand tons, up 21% over 2Q11. In the Brazilian market, sales volume grew by 28% (30 thousand tons), mainly as a consequence of higher sales of glycols and inventory adjustments to the lower level of the Brazilian economic growth by Oxiteno’s clients in that period. As a result of the weaker volume level in 2Q11 and of the growth in the main segments served by Oxiteno, sales of specialty chemicals in the domestic market increased by 6%. In the international market, sales volume increased by 6% (3 thousand tons), mainly due to higher sales of specialty chemicals. Compared with 1Q12, the sales volume was 1% lower (1 thousand ton), a reduction concentrated on the volume of glycols. The volume sold by Oxiteno in 1H12 totaled 372 thousand tons, a 20% growth over 1H11.

Outlook
 
Despite facing a more challenging economic environment, we expect to continue the growth trajectory of our results, based on the resilience of our businesses, leverage on the economic growth and consistent planning and execution of our strategy. Ipiranga will continue its investment plan for 2012, benefiting from the growth of the vehicle fleet in Brazil and its expansion in the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil. Oxiteno will keep capturing benefits from the conclusion and maturation process of the investments in capacity expansion in Brazil in a more favorable exchange rate environment, in addition to focusing on the integration and implementation of its business plan in the United States and Uruguay. Ultracargo will complete in the second half of 2012 the expansions of the terminals in Santos and Aratu, aiming to meet the growing demand for liquid bulk storage in Brazil, and the acquisition of the liquid bulk terminal in Maranhão, strengthening its operating scale. At Ultragaz, the economic growth and investments made will continue to contribute to the increase in bulk LPG segment volume, together with the company's focus on managing costs and expenses. We will continue to be alert to acquisition opportunities in all our businesses, aiming at further growth and value creation of Ultrapar.
