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 financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-held companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2010 and its quarters 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 quarterly financial statements for 2009 and 2010 and years ended December 31st, 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 R$ 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 - Texaco

In August 2008, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of Texaco’s fuel distribution business in Brazil. The results of Texaco were consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements from April 1st, 2009, after the financial settlement of the transaction, which occurred on March 31st, 2009. Ultrapar's financial statements in periods prior to 2Q09 do not include Texaco’s results.

In order to provide a better understanding of the progression of Ipiranga’s recurring results, the table below summarizes Ipiranga’s results for all periods from 2Q09 to 4Q10 ex-non-recurring expenses related to the conversion of Texaco service stations into the Ipiranga brand and to the integration of the acquired operations. The analysis and discussion of the progression in Ipiranga’s results presented in this document exclude non-recurring items, in order to provide comparability of the information and better understanding of the company’s performance.

Highlights

Dividend distribution of R$ 252 million approved – On this date, the Board of Directors of Ultrapar approved a dividend payment of R$ 252 million, equivalent to R$ 0.47 per share, to be paid from March 17th, 2011 onwards. This amount, 42% higher than the anticipated dividends paid in August 2010, reflects the strong progression in Ultrapar’s results and cash generation and corresponds to a 56% payout over 2H10 net earnings, representing an annualized dividend yield of 4% on Ultrapar's average share price in 2H10. This distribution, added to the anticipated dividends distributed in August 2010, totals R$ 429 million in the year and corresponds to a 56% payout 2010, representing a dividend yield of 4% on Ultrapar's average share price in 2010.

Investment plan approved for 2011 – Ultrapar’s Board of Directors approved the investment plan for 2011 of R$ 1,044 million. The plan includes R$ 548 million of investments at Ipiranga, R$ 153 million at Oxiteno, R$ 171 million at Ultragaz and R$ 146 million at Ultracargo. These investments aim at growth through increased scale, technological differentiation and productivity gains, as well as modernizing existing operations. This amount does not include acquisitions. The increase in investments over 2010 reflects opportunities arising from the continued dynamism of the Brazilian economy and the implementation of the strategic initiatives specific to each business unit.

Ultrapar’s stock split approved – On February 10th, 2011, the Shareholders’ Meeting approved a stock split of the shares issued by Ultrapar, so that each share will be represented by 4 shares of the same class and type, with no modification in the financial amount and in the interest held by the shareholder in the Company. The shares resulting from the stock split will grant its holders - including holders of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), traded at the New York Stock Exchange - the same rights inherent to the shares previously held, including dividends, interest on capital and any payments on capital eventually approved by the company. After the stock split, the 1:1 ratio between preferred shares and ADRs will be maintained, and each ADR will consequently continue to be represented by one preferred share. The stock split aims at repositioning the price of the standard trading round lot of shares issued by Ultrapar, in order to make the shares more accessible to investors and potentially enable an increase in the trading volume of the company’s shares.

Ultrapar returns to the portfolio of BM&FBOVESPA’s Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) – In November 2010, BM&FBOVESPA announced the new composition of ISE’s portfolio, to which Ultrapar was selected once more. The ISE is comprised of companies with recognized commitment to social and environmental responsibility, corporate governance and corporate sustainability. The ISE evaluates those aspects, in an integrated manner, both in quantitative and qualitative terms.

Executive summary of the results

The year 2010 was marked by the strong growth of the Brazilian economy, with highlights to the low unemployment rates, expansion in income and total wages and higher credit availability, which reached in December a record level of 47% of the GDP. The gross domestic product grew by 8% as of September year-to-date , according to the latest published data, driven by the good performance of the retail, automotive and civil construction sectors. In 2010, the automotive industry reached a new sales record, with an 11% increase in the number of light vehicles licensed. In the financial market, the effects of the strong economic growth in Brazil, together with the public offering of Petrobras in the third quarter, resulted in a record of foreign investments inflow of US$ 48 billion to Brazil during 2010, contributing to a 12% appreciation of the Real against the US dollar, which ended the year at R$ 1.67/US$. In the international environment, the slower recovery of the economy of certain countries, particularly developed countries, led to a relative stability in oil prices during the first nine months of 2010. From the 4Q10 onwards, the higher demand as a result of more severe winter in the northern hemisphere and the progression in the global economic growth resulted in soaring oil prices, which accumulated an 18% growth during the period and ended the year quoted at US$ 92/barrel, up 23% from 2009.

In 4Q10, Ultragaz’s sales volume grew by 1% compared with 4Q09, mainly as a result of the growth in the bulk segment, on the back of the higher level of economic activity. Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 57 million in the quarter, down 8% from 4Q09, mainly as a result of R$ 12 million in non-recurring expenses related to studies and projects for expansion. Excluding

such expenses, Ultragaz’s EBITDA grew by 12%, mainly as a result of a recovery in margins, to which the operational efficiency programs contributed, and the performance in the bulk segment. In 2010, Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 307 million, up 9% over the previous year.

At Ipiranga, the expansion of the Brazilian economy combined with the growth in the light vehicle fleet resulted in a 6% growth in the fuel sales volume in 4Q10 over 4Q09, contributing to an 11% growth in Ipiranga’s EBITDA, which reached

R$ 323 million in 4Q10. In 2010, Ipiranga’s EBITDA reached R$ 1,113 million, up 24% over 2009.

Oxiteno’s EBITDA was R$ 54 million in 4Q10, up 44% over 4Q09, as a result of the margin recovery during 2010, which offset the 6% decrease in sales volume as a result of the maintenance stoppage of the Camaçari plant and of spot sales done in 4Q09. In 2010, Oxiteno’s EBITDA reached R$ 241 million, a strong 41% growth over 2009.

Ultracargo recorded a 24% increase in average storage compared with 4Q09, mainly due to the consolidation of the terminal acquired in Suape in December 2009 and the higher utilization level in the Santos and Aratu terminals. Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 25 million in 4Q10, up 13% from 4Q09, as a result of the growth in average storage in liquid bulk terminals, partially offset by the sale of in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses on July 1st, 2010. In 2010, Ultracargo’s EBITDA reached R$ 111 million, up 7% over 2009.

Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 465 million in 4Q10, up 14% over 4Q09, due to the EBITDA growth in Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Net earnings for 4Q10 reached R$ 247 million, up 81% over 4Q09. In 2010, Ultrapar’s EBITDA reached R$ 1,776 million, up 24% over 2009, and net earnings reached R$ 765 million, a growth of 74% over 2009.

Ipiranga – Sales volume (000 m³)

Sales outside Brazil decreased by 9% (5 thousand tons), mainly due to higher spot sales in 4Q09. Compared with 3Q10, sales volume decreased by 3% (5 thousand tons) as a result of the maintenance stoppage of the Camaçari plant and of seasonality between quarters.

Oxiteno – Sales volume (000 tons)

Net sales and services (R$ million)

Ultragaz – Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 922 million in 4Q10, up 4% over 4Q09, as a result of higher sales volume in the bulk segment, an increase in the cost of LPG used in the bulk segment from January 2010 onwards and commercial initiatives and operational efficiency programs implemented.

Ultracargo – Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 59 million in 4Q10, down 26% from 4Q09, with the growth in average storage in liquid bulk terminals offset by the sale of in-house logistics, solid bulk storage and road transportation businesses.

In 2010, Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 39,323 million, up 18% over 2009, mainly as a consequence of the increased volume of operations in all businesses and the consolidation of Texaco’s cost of goods sold from 2Q09 onwards.

Outlook

Ultrapar enters into the new decade well-positioned to capture the benefits from the economic growth and the larger scale of operations derived from the investments made, which strengthened its leading position in its markets and significantly expanded its exposure to the Brazilian domestic consumption. Ultragaz, which had a significant growth in its results in 2010, will continue to reap the benefits from the good prospects for the bulk segment, in which it is a prominent leader, and from its strategy of expanding in niche markets. At Ipiranga, the perspectives of the continued growth in the light vehicle fleet derived from the increase in total wages and the credit availability, combined with the higher level of economic activity, will continue to boost sales volume growth. In addition, Ipiranga will continue to focus on the expansion plan of its service stations network in the Midwest, Northeast and North regions. Concurrently, Ipiranga will continue to benefit from its differentiation and innovation strategy, expanding and diversifying its products and services portfolio. At Oxiteno, with an important investment cycle to be concluded in 2011, the expansion of specialty chemicals production capacity focused on segments with a strong growth potential and the expansion of its ethylene oxide capacity to meet the growing demand for its products, will allow for the continuity of volume growth, with lower share of commodities in the sales mix and higher operating leverage. Ultracargo, now focused on liquid bulk storage, will benefit from the expansions underway at its terminals, with significant growth in its storage capacity, from the increased specialization of services provided, and from the growing demand for logistics infrastructure in Brazil.

With higher investments expected for 2011 and potential acquisitions, Ultrapar enters into the new decade taking important steps to grow, with a constant focus on value creation and working adhered to the company’s strategy, alignment of interests and financial prudence. In addition to those basic pillars, the new decade is being planned based on a strategy with increasingly strong presence of innovation and sustainability, which are key elements in the pioneering initiatives that Ultrapar adopts in its business segments.
