Independent auditors’ report on the quarterly information review - ITR
To
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Ultrapar Participações S.A.
São Paulo – SP


We have reviewed the individual and consolidated interim financial information of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (the Company), included in the Quarterly Financial Information - ITR of the Company for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, comprising the balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and the respective statements of income and other comprehensive income for the three-month and nine-month periods then ended, and changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, including the explanatory information.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these individual interim financial information in accordance with Committee for Accounting Pronouncement CPC 21 – Interim Financial Information and of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC  21 and the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as the presentation of these information consistent with rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM), which are applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information. 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 review standards of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Auditor of the Entity 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 have been identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion on the individual Quarterly 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 Quarterly Financial Information described above, were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information and presented in a manner consistent with the rules of the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).
 
Conclusion on the consolidated Quarterly 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 Quarterly Financial Information described above were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC  21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Financial Information and

presented in a manner consistent with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).


Other matters

Statement of value added

We also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim information included in the statement of value added (DVA), for the nine-month period ended on September 30, 2011, prepared under the management´s responsibility, which disclosure in the Quarterly Financial Information is required in accordance with regulations issued by Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Financial Information and supplementary information considered by IFRS, which does not require the disclosure of statement of value added (DVA). These statement were submitted to the same review procedures previously described and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that they have not been prepared, in all its material respects, in accordance with the Quarterly Financial Information taken as a whole.

Operations

Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Company”), is a Company with headquarters at the Brigadeiro Luis Antônio Avenue, 1343 in São Paulo – SP, Brazil.

It engages in the investment of its own capital in services, commercial and industrial activities, including the subscription or acquisition of shares of other companies. Through its subsidiaries, it operates in the segments of liquefied petroleum gas - LPG distribution (“Ultragaz”), automotive fuels & lubricants distribution, and related businesses (“Ipiranga”), production and marketing of chemicals (“Oxiteno”), and storage services for liquid bulk (“Ultracargo”). The Company is also present in oil refining through its investment in Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A. (“RPR”).


2.
Summary of significant accounting policies

Aiming at the convergence of the Brazilian accounting practices to the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), during the years 2009 and 2010 the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) issued several resolutions approving the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) pronouncements and established new accounting standards applicable to Brazil, effective in 2010 (“New BR GAAP”). These pronouncements are in accordance with the international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The interim financial information as of September 30, 2011 was prepared in accordance with Resolution CVM 581/09 (CPC 21) and International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by IASB.

The Company’s individual interim financial information are stated according to the New BR GAAP, which differs from IFRS in two respects. IFRS does not require the equity method of accounting for the individual interim financial information of the parent company. Besides equity accounting, the parent company’s interim financial information as of 2010 in New BR GAAP contain another difference to IFRS, as expressly permitted by CPC 43 (R1), relating to the deferred charges, written off as of December 31, 2010, when such difference was eliminated.
 
The Company’s consolidated interim financial information are stated according to the IFRS, issued by IASB. The consolidated interim financial information as of 2010, previously reported in New BRGAAP (in accordance with CPC 43), is being presented considering the deferred charges written off in the IFRS initial adoption (in accordance with CPC 43 R1). See Note 28 for further detail of deferred charges amortization effects in the income statements in the period of 2010.

The accounting policies described below were applied by the Company and its subsidiaries in a consistent manner for all periods presented in these Company and consolidated interim financial information.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
a.
Recognition of income

Revenue from sales and costs 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 sold and services provided include goods (mainly fuels/lubricants and LPG), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage and filling costs.

b.
Cash equivalents

Include 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 detail on 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 were classified into the following categories:

Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets 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 as 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 were 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 instruments 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.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
 
The Company and its subsidiaries designate certain derivative financial instruments used to hedge against changes in interest rates and variations in the exchange rate as cash flow hedge. In the case of derivatives designed to hedge cash flows against changes caused by the variation in interest rates, the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument and its updated cost is recognized as a valuation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity, not affecting the income statement of the Company and its subsidiaries. In the case of foreign exchange derivatives designated by subsidiary RPR for hedge of future cash flows, the effect of variation in the derivative is posted to the valuation adjustment in shareholders’ equity until the time when the hedged item affects the income statement. The difference between the fair value of the derivative and updated cost is recognized directly in income of the subsidiary.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate derivative financial instruments used to compensate variations due to changes in interest rates in the market value of contracted debt in Reais as fair value hedge. Such variations, as well as the difference between the derivative financial instrument fair value and its updated cost, are recognized in the income.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Notes 4, 14, and 20.

d.
Current and non-current assets

The trade accounts receivable are recorded at the amount invoiced, adjusted to the present value if applicable, including all direct taxes of 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 accounts receivable.

Inventories are stated at the lower of average acquisition or production cost, and replacement cost or net realizable value.

The other assets are stated at the lower of cost and realizable value, including, if applicable, the 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.r).

e.
Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are valued by the equity method of accounting in the interim financial information of the parent company.

Investments in companies 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 under shared control are consolidated proportionally by the Company (See Note 3).

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

f.
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. Property, plant and equipment acquired before December 31,1997 are adjusted for inflation as of that date.

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

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

g.
Financial leases

• 
Finance leases

Certain lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the Company and its subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are stated at fair value or, if lower, present value of the minimum payments under the relevant contracts. The items recognized as assets are depreciated at the depreciation rates applicable to each group of assets in accordance with Note 12. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to income over the contract term, based on the amortized cost and actual interest rate method (see Note 14.g).

• 
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 expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract, in accordance with Note 21.d).

h.
Intangible assets
 
Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the main 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 from 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 assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, and is tested annually to verify the existence of probable losses (impairment). In accordance with IFRS 3(R), goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units for impairment testing purposes.

• Bonus disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller gas stations and major consumers are recorded when incurred and amortized 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 less accumulated amortization expenses.

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

i.
Current and non-current liabilities

Current and noncurrent liabilities are stated at known or calculable 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 noncurrent liabilities are recorded in 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 debt or loans or by issuing debt bonds, as well as premiums in the issuance of debentures and other debt or equity instruments, are appropriated to their instrument and amortized to income over their term.

j.
Income and social contribution taxes on profit

Current and deferred income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution (CSLL) are calculated based on the current rates of income tax and social contribution on profit, including the value of tax incentives, as stated in Note 9.b).

k.
Assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

Related to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded gas stations after a certain period. The estimated amount of the obligation to remove this fuel tank is recorded as a liability when tanks are installed. The amount is recorded in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are adjusted until the respective tank is removed (see Note 16). The estimated removal cost is revised periodically.

l.
Provision for contingencies

A provision for contingencies is created for quantifiable contingent 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 21.a).

m.
Actuarial obligation for post-employment benefits

Reserves for 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, as described in Note 22.b).

n.
Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency carried out by the Company or its subsidiaries are translated 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 translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in income until their realization.

o.
Basis for translation of interim financial information of foreign-based subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries Oxiteno México S.A. de C.V. and its subsidiaries, located in Mexico (functional currency: Mexican Peso), and Oxiteno Andina, C.A., 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 in effect 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 gain recognized as income as of September 30, 2011 amounted to R$ 1,516 (R$ 1,029 loss as of September 30, 2010).

In these estimates, 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 related mainly to determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 4, 14 and 20), the determination of provisions for income taxes (Note 9), the useful life of property, plants and equipments (Note 12), recovery value of long-lived assets (Note 13), provisions for tax, civil and labor liabilities (Note 21.a) and estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Note 22).

Impairment of assets
 
The Company reviews, at least annually, the carrying value of assets for their possible impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use or disposal. In cases where future expected cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of these assets. The factors considered by the Company in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends, and prospects, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. No impairment was recorded in the abovementioned periods.

r.

Business combination – Acquisition of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”)
 
On November 1, 2010, the Company, through its subsidiary Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”), acquired a 100% equity interest in DNP. The total acquisition amount, after working capital adjustment, was of R$ 73,427. This acquisition reinforces the strategy of expansion, initiated with the acquisition of Texaco, to the midwest, northeast and north of Brazil where the consumption growth has been above the national average and the market share of Ipiranga is lower than that in the south and southeast.

The acquisition cost 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 based on expected future earnings is R$ 16,326. The value added for assets acquired, which was determined based on a report prepared by an independent appraiser, is R$ 54,349, which reflects the difference between the market value and the book value of the assets.

Relates to the non-eliminated portion of the transactions between RPR and IPP, since RPR is proportionally consolidated and IPP is fully consolidated.

Purchase and sale transactions relate substantially to the purchase of raw materials, feedstock, transportation and storage services based on arm’s length market prices and terms with customers and suppliers with comparable operational performance. Borrowing agreements are for an indeterminate period and do not contain interest clauses. In the opinion of the Company’s management, transactions with related parties are not subject to settlement risk, which is why no allowance for doubtful accounts or collaterals are provided. Collaterals provided by the Company in borrowings and financing of subsidiaries and affiliates are mentioned in Note 14.i). Borrowing arrangements are contracted in light of temporary cash surpluses or deficits of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The maximum amount of future payments related to these collaterals is R$ 9,458, as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 7,768 as of December 31, 2010), with maturities of no more than 211 days. As of September 30, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries did not have losses in connection with these collaterals. The fair value of collateral recognized in current liabilities is R$ 229 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 190 as of December 31, 2010), which is recognized in income as customers set their obligations with 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 September 30, 2011, there was no event of default of the debts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Risk management and financial instruments Governance

The main risk factors 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 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 is 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.

Currency risk

Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for currency 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 currency are stated below, translated into Reais as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

Based on the net liability position of R$ 159.3 million in foreign currency shown above, the Company estimates that a 10% devaluation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 15.9 million, of which R$ 25.0 million of losses recognized in income and R$ 9.1 million of gain directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments mainly due to changes in the exchange rate on equity of foreign subsidiaries. Based on the same position, the Company estimates that a 10% valuation of the Real would produce a total effect of R$ 15.9 million, of which R$ 25.0 million of gain recognized in income and R$ 9.1 million of loss directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity in cumulative translation adjustments (see Note 2.o).

Interest rate risk

The Company and its subsidiaries adopt conservative policies for borrowing and use of financial resources and 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 results from financing from 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 September 30, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries had derivative financial instruments of interest rate linked to domestic loans, swapping pre-fixed interest of certain debts to floating rate.

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, hedge instruments and accounts receivable.

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 and its subsidiaries have financial investments in federal government bonds of Brazil and countries rated AAA or Aaa by specialized credit rating agencies. The volume of financial investments is subject to maximum limits by country and, therefore, require diversification of counterparty.

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. As of September 30, 2011, Ipiranga maintained R$ 98,023 (R$ 101,275 as of December 31, 2010), Ultragaz maintained R$ 13,680 (R$ 16,613 as of December 31, 2010), Oxiteno maintained R$ 1,427 (R$ 1,429 as of December 31, 2010) and Ultracargo maintained R$ 613 (R$ 615 as of December 31, 2010) as a provision for potential loss on their accounts and assets 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.
 
From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries examine the opportunities for acquisitions and investments. They consider different types of investments, either directly or through joint ventures, or affiliated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, through funding raised in the 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$ 1,472 million. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2011 totals R$ 1,044 million. On September 30, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 2,642 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term and long-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 or instruments are not permitted. Because the use of derivative financial instruments is limited to the coverage of identified risks, the Company and its subsidiaries use the term “hedging instruments” to refer to derivative financial instruments.

As mentioned in the section Risk management and financial instruments – Governance of this Note, 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.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency - The purpose of these contracts is 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. As of September 30, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 199.4 million in notional amount, of which (i) US$ 139.4 million, on average, had asset position at US$ + 4.88 p.a. and liability position at 119.12 % of CDI and (ii) US$ 60 million had asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 1.00% a.a. and liability position at 86.90% of CDI.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of operations - The purpose of these contracts is to make the exchange rate of the turnover of the subsidiaries of Oleoquímica, Oxiteno S.A. and Oxiteno Nordeste equal to the exchange rate of the cost of their main raw materials. As of September 30, 2011, these swap contracts totaled US$ 80.5 million and, on average, had an asset position at 73.27% 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 September 30, 2011 these swap contracts totaled R$ 1,809.5 million, and on average had an asset position at 11.81% p.a. and liability position at 98.75% of CDI.

Hedging against floating interest rate in foreign currency - The purpose of this contract is to convert the interest rate on the syndicated loan in the principal of US$ 60 million from floating into fixed. As of September 30, 2011, this contract was settled.

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of a firm commitment in foreign currency (RPR) - The purposes of these contracts is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates on imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars. On September 30, 2011 the subsidiary RPR held no NDF (non-deliverable forwards).

Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency (RPR) - The purpose of this contract is to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of a debt in U.S. dollars by converting it into a debt in Reais linked to CDI. As of September 30, 2011, the subsidiary RPR had settled these contracts.

The Company and its subsidiaries designate as cash flow hedges some instruments of protection for future cash flows. These instruments of protection whose purpose is to protect the cash flows (i) from the risk of fluctuations in Libor on loans contracted and (ii) the risk of exchange rate of changes of subsidiary RPR on future imports of oil denominated in U.S. dollars. On September 30, 2011 these instruments of protection had been settled.

In the case of derivatives designed to hedge cash flows against changes caused by the variation in interest rates, the difference between the fair value of the financial instrument and its updated cost is recognized as a valuation adjustment in the shareholders’ equity, not affecting the income statement of the Company and its subsidiaries.

In the case of foreign exchange derivatives designated by subsidiary RPR for hedge of future cash flows, the effect of variation in the derivative is posted to the valuation adjustment in shareholders’ equity until the time when the hedged item affects the income statement. The difference between the fair value of the derivative and updated cost is recognized directly in income of the subsidiary.

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 of September 30, 2011 these instruments of protection totaled R$ 1,809.5 million. The Company and its Subsidiaries recognized a gain of R$ 2.9 million in the period, of which R$ 52.3 million refer to the result of instruments of protection and R$ (49.4) million refer to the fair value adjustment of the debt.

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

The fair values of the cash and bank deposits balances are identical to the 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 correspond to their fair value.
Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase in the yield curve and, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.
For fair value calculation of LPG Inc.’s notes in the foreing market (see Note 14.b), the price quoted in an active market is used.
The fair value of other financial investments and financing 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 September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. 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.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)
 
Financial instruments were classified as loans and receivables, 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 the Banco do Brasil that is measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 14.e), (iv) accounts receivable that have vendor arrangements (see Note 14.i) and Ipiranga customer financing (see Note 5), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Thus, accounts receivable, loans and financing, accounts payable and trade payables are substantially classified as loans and receivables.

Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments

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).

The table below shows a summary of the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ balance sheet as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

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 September 30, 2011. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.47 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional devaluation, respectively, of the Real in the likely scenario.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of September 30, 2011, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais as of September 30, 2011 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:

The Company has a derivative financial instrument at US$ + LIBOR. The sensitivity analysis of this hedging instrument for Real/U.S. dollar exchange rate  is shown in the table above. For the sensitivity analysis of the interest rate hedging instrument in dollar, the Company used the future LIBOR curve (BBA – British Bankers Association) as of September 30, 2011 at maturity of the swap and of the loan (hedged item), which occurs in 2014, in order to define the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, in the estimate of the likely LIBOR.

Based on the three interest rate scenarios in dollar (LIBOR), management estimated the values of its loan and of the hedging instrument by calculating the future cash flows according to the projected scenarios and adjusting them to present value by the rate in effect on September 30, 2011. The result is stated on the table below:

For sensitivity analysis of interest rate instruments of protection in Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract of BM&FBovespa as of September 30, 2011 for each swap and each debt (object of protection) maturities, for defining the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of pre-fixed rate to that of the likely scenario.

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

Contingencies and commitments (Consolidated)

a.           Civil, tax and labor proceedings

On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Companhia Ultragaz S.A. and Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”) filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to offset PIS and COFINS credits against other taxes administered by the Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court judgment on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction obtained, the subsidiaries have been making judicial deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 228,966 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 185,398 as of December 31, 2010) and have recorded a corresponding liability.

Subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz, Utingás Armazenadora S.A. (“Utingás”), Tequimar and Ultracargo Operações Logísticas e Participações Ltda. (“Ultracargo Participações”) have filed actions with a motion for preliminary injunction seeking full and immediate utilization of the supplementary monetary adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index (IPC)/National Treasury Bonds (BTN) for 1990 (Law 8200/91); the subsidiaries Cia Ultragaz, Utingás and Tequimar opted to include the contingencies related to their processes within the Law 11941/09 amnesty and reclassified the contingencies’ amount to the line of taxes payables in the previous year. Ultracargo Participação maintain a provision of R$ 1,039 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 980 as of December 31, 2010) to cover any contingencies if they lose such actions.

The Company and some of its subsidiaries have filed actions with a motion for preliminary injunction against the application of the law restricting offset of tax losses (IRPJ) and negative tax bases (CSLL) determined as of December 31, 1994 to 30% of the income for the year. As a result of the position of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) and based on the opinion of its legal counsel, a provision was recorded for this contingency in the amount of R$ 6,653 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 6,481 as of December 31, 2010).

Subsidiary IPP has a pending Declaratory Judgment Action challenging the constitutionality of Law No. 9.316/96, which has made CSLL nondeductible for the IRPJ calculation basis. The claim was denied in the first and second instances, and the extraordinary appeal presented is halted until the trial of a leading case by the STF (Federal Supreme Court). Backed by an order issued in a Provisional Remedy connected to the main action, the subsidiary made a deposit in court for the amounts challenged and maintains a provision for this contingency in the amount of R$ 13,465 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 12,934 as of December 31, 2010).

The subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and Oxiteno S.A. have a lawsuit for the exclusion of export revenues from the tax base for CSLL. The preliminary injunction was granted to Oxiteno Nordeste and the decision was confirmed by the lower court setence. The subsidiary made judicial deposits of the amounts in discussion, as well as provisioned the corresponding contingency in the amount of R$ 1,053 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 982 as of December 31, 2010); the subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. awaits judgment of an extraordinary appeal against the judgment which denied the requested preliminary injunction, and is still normally paying the CSLL. Althought in August 2010 the STF has positioned itself against the thesis, this decision is effective just between the parties involved in that lawsuit, not affecting directly the subsidiaries lawsuit.

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Tequimar, RPR, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda. (“Tropical”), Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) e IPP, filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax basis. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained an injunction and are paying the disputed amounts into judicial deposits, as well as recording the respective provision in the amount of R$ 70,860 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 57,302 as of December 31, 2010); the others subsidiaries did not obtain a preliminary injunction and are awaiting the judgment of these lawsuits in the Federal Regional Courts.

The Company and its subsidiaries obtained preliminary injunctions to pay PIS and COFINS contributions without the changes introduced by Law 9718/98 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of theses taxes on sources other than revenues. In 2005, the STF decided the question in favor of the taxpayer. Although it has set a precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await judgment of their own legal lawsuits. The Company has subsidiaries whose lawsuits have not yet been decided. If all ongoing lawsuits are finally decided in favor of the subsidiaries, the Company estimates that the total positive effect on income before income tax and social contribution will reach R$ 35,992, net of attorney’s fees.

The Company and its subsidiaries are recording provision for PIS and COFINS calculated on the basis of the interest on capital. The total amount accrued is R$ 20,205 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 19,216 as of December 31, 2010).

The subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. has a provision of R$ 13,852 as of September 30, 2011 related to an official notification issued on the grounds of supposed undue credits of ICMS taken on invoices related to the symbolic return of materials sent to subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste for industrialization.

IPP and its subsidiaries maintain provisions for ICMS-related contingencies mainly in connection with (a) appropriation of a credit related to the difference between the amount that served as a basis for tax withholding and the amount actually charged in the sale to end consumers, which resulted in excess ICMS withholding by refineries: R$ 8,304; (b) tax-deficiency notices for interstate sales of fuels to industrial customers without payment of ICMS due to the interpretation of Article 2 of Supplementary Law No. 87/96: R$ 11,354; (c) collection of ICMS-ST (State VAT Substitution) from distributors on interstate sales to end consumers, since there is no withholding under ICMS Agreements No. 105/92 and No. 112/93: R$ 5,131; (d) collection of ICMS on the common ground of non-payment, since there are several reasons that resulted in the tax assessments and whose rebuttal is not evident: R$ 15,630.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The main tax claims of the subsidiary IPP that were considered to pose a possible risk of loss, and based on this position, have not been provided for in the interim financial information, relate to ICMS and related mainly to: (a) requirement of proportionate reversal of ICMS credits in view of the acquisitions of hydrous ethanol to give higher values than the its sales, because of the transfer of a portion of financial support for agriculturists (FUPA) made by the distributors upon the acquisitions subsequently reimbursed by the DNC (current National Oil Agency), R$ 91,917, (b) undue credit, relating to recognized ICMS tax credits in the subsidiary tax books, regarding which the Tax Authorities understand that there was no proof of their origin, R$ 18,169 (c) assessments for alleged lack of tax payment, R$ 23,833; (d) records of notices issued in Ourinhos/SP for the operations to return the loan of ethanol made with tax deferral, R$ 26,933, (e) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits generated in interstate shipments made under Article 33 of the ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the maintenance of credit and was suspended by a preliminary injunction granted by STF, R$ 14,318, (f) disallowance of ICMS credits taken in the bookkeeping of bills considered inapt, though the understanding of the STJ is in the sense that it is possible to take credit for the buyer even if there is defect in the document of the seller, provided that the remains confirmed that the transaction actually took place, R$ 22,077, (g) assessments arising from surplus or shortage of stock, occurred due to differences in temperature or handling the product in which the review believes that there is input or output without a corresponding issue of invoice, R$ 19,480 (h) assessment notices relating to the disallowance of ICMS credits legitimately appropriated by the company due to alledged non-compliance with formalities required under applicable law R$ 21,051 and (i) assessments arising from ICMS credits relative to the inputs of AEHC, in alledged disagreement with the law, from certain States that had granted tax benefits to producers of alcohol, R$ 24,331.

The subsidiary IPP has infraction of the non-approval of set-off of IPI credits appropriate under inputs taxed whose outputs were under the protection of immunity. The non-provisioned amount of contingency, updated as of September 30, 2011, is R$ 66,053 (R$ 60,053 as of December 31, 2010). The subsidiary also has legal lawsuits to guarantee the compensation of overpaid PIS values before the declaration of unconstitutionality of Decrees 2445/88 and 2449/88, and decided to include part of these cases within the Law 11941/09 amnesty, recording the corresponding amount of R$ 31,065 as taxes payable.

In 1990, the Petrochemical Workers’ Union (Sindiquímica), of which the employees of Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, companies sited on the Petrochemical Hub of Camaçari are members, filed individual claims against the subsidiaries for the performance of the Section 4 of the Collective Labor Agreement, which provided for a salary adjustment in lieu of the salary policies actually implemented. In the same year, a collective labor dispute was also filed by the Union of Employers (SINPEQ) against Sindiquímica for recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such Section 4. Individual claims were denied. The collective dispute is currently awaiting trial by the STF. From the second half of 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective dispute. Based on the opinion of its legal advisors, who have reviewed the latest STF decision in the collective dispute and the position of the individual claims involving subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, the management of those subsidiaries decided that it was not necessary to record a provision as of September 30, 2011.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz has answered an administrative proceeding before the CADE ( the Brazilian Antitrust Authority) based on alleged anticompetitive practices in municipalities of the Triângulo Mineiro region in 2001, in which a fine in the amount of R$ 23,104 was awarded against it. The execution of such administrative decision was suspended by a court order and the credit is being discussed in court. Based on the above elements and on the opinion of its legal advisors, the management of the subsidiary has not recorded a provision for this contingency.

Subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz is the defendant in legal proceedings for damages arising from an explosion in 1996 in a shopping mall located in the City of Osasco, State of São Paulo. Such proceedings involve: (i) individual proceedings brought by victims of the explosion seeking compensation for loss of income and pain and suffering (ii) request for compensation for expenses of the shopping mall administrator and its insurer; and (iii) class action seeking economic and non-economic damages for all victims injured and dead. The subsidiary believes that it produced evidence that the defective gas pipelines in the shopping mall caused the accident, and Ultragaz’s local LPG storage facilities did not contribute to the explosion. Out of the 64 actions decided to date, 63 were favorable, of which 39 are already shelved; only 1 was adverse and the subsidiary was sentenced to pay R$ 17. There is only 1 action yet to be decided. The Company has not recorded a provision for these cases because it believes that the likeliness of realization of this contingency is essentially remote, and also because it has insurance coverage for the full amount in dispute.

The Company and its subsidiaries have provisions for settlement of terms of contracts with customers and ex-service providers, as well as environmental issues, in the amount of R$ 94,204 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 91,644 as of December 31, 2010) and also a provision of R$ 25,296 as of September 30, 2011 (R$ 23,259 as of December 31, 2010) to meet the contingencies of labor litigation.

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings, 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.

If the annual movement is less than the minimum required, then the subsidiary will have to pay the difference between the actual movement and the minimum required by the agreements, using the port rates in effect at the date established for payment. As of September 30, 2011, such charges were R$ 5.79 and R$ 1.38 per ton for Aratu and Suape, respectively. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement requirements since the beginning of the agreements.

Subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste has a supply agreement with Braskem S.A. setting a minimum value for quarterly consumption of ethylene and establishing conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021. The minimum purchase commitment and the actual demand accumulated to September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, expressed in tons of ethylene, are shown below. In case of breach of the minimum purchase commitment, the subsidiary agrees to pay a penalty of 40% of the current ethylene price, to the extent of the shortfall. The provision of minimum purchase commitment is under renegotiation with Braskem.

c.           Insurance coverage in subsidiaries

The Company maintains appropriate insurance policies with the object of covering several risks to which it is exposed, including asset insurance against losses caused by fire, lightning, explosion of any kind, gale, aircraft crash, and 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$ 1,307 million.

The General Responsibility 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 sales of products and services.

Group Life and Personal Accident, Health, National and International Transportation and All Risks 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 local 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. The risk assumptions adopted, given their nature, are not part of the scope of review on interim financial information, and consequently haven’t been reviewed by our independent accountants.

d.           Operating lease contracts

The subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz, IPP, Serma and Oxiteno S.A. have operating lease contracts for the use of IT equipment.

These contracts have terms of 36 months. The subsidiaries have the option to purchase the assets at a price equal to the fair market price on the date of option, and management does not intend to exercise such option.

The future disbursements (installments), assumed under these contracts, total approximately:

Employee benefits and private pension plan (Consolidated)

a.           ULTRAPREV- Associação de Previdência Complementar

The Company and its subsidiaries offer a defined-contribution pension plan to its employees, which is managed by Ultraprev - Associação de Previdência Complementar. Under the plan, the basic contribution of each participating employee is calculated by multiplying a percentage ranging from 0% to 11%, which is annually defined by the participant based on his/her salary. The sponsor companies match the amount of the basic contribution paid by the participant. As the participants retire, they choose to receive monthly either: (i) a percentage, ranging from 0.5% to 1.0%, of the fund accumulated for the participant with Ultraprev; or (ii) a fixed monthly amount that will exhaust the fund accumulated for the participant within a period ranging from 5 to 25 years. Thus, the Company and its subsidiaries do not assume responsibility for guaranteeing amounts and periods of pension benefits. As of September 30, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 10,560 (R$ 9,633  as of September 30, 2010) to Ultraprev, which amount is recorded as expense in the income statement for the period. The total number of employees participating in the plan as of September 30, 2011 was 7,339 active participants and 58 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 29 former employees receiving benefits under the previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

b.           Post-employment benefits

The Company and its subsidiaries recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Severance Pay Fund, and health and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

The net liabilities for such benefits recorded as of September 30, 2011 are R$ 104,501 (R$ 104,501 as of December 31, 2010), of which R$ 12,060 (R$ 11,339 as of December 31, 2010) are recorded as current liabilities and R$ 92,441 (R$ 93,162 as of December 31, 2010) as non-current liabilities.

The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary and are recorded in the interim financial information in accordance with Resolution CVM 600/2009.

Considerations on the financial and operational information


Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information

From the year ending December 31st, 2010 onwards, CVM made mandatory the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in the presentation of consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-held companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2010 and for the quarters ended March 31st, June 30th and September 30th, 2011 were prepared in compliance with the IFRS, which differ 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 2009 and 2010 financial statements 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 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2010.

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

Effect of the acquisition – DNP

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

(2) Performance Analysis:

Net sales and services: Ultrapar’s consolidated net sales and services amounted to R$ 12,909 million in 3Q11, up 18% over 3Q10, as a result of the sales growth in all businesses. Compared with 2Q11, Ultrapar’s net sales and services increased by 6%, mainly as a result of seasonality between periods. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 35,903 million, up 15% over 9M10.

Ultragaz: In 3Q11, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 438 thousand tons, up 2.6% over 3Q10, driven by a 4.0% growth in the bulk segment, resulting from the economic growth and investments made to capture new clients. Compared with 2Q11, sales volume grew by 5.2%, mainly as a result of seasonality between periods. In 9M11, Ultragaz’s sales volume totals 1,236 thousand tons, up 2.6% over 9M10. Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 998 million in 3Q11, up 2.4% over 3Q10, in line with the variation in volumes sold in the period. Compared with 2Q11, net sales and services increased by 5.6%, as a result of the seasonally higher volume. In 9M11, Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 2,810 million, up 2.6% over 9M10.
 
 
 

 

 
Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 5,777 thousand cubic meters in 3Q11, up 10% over 3Q10. In 3Q11, sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 6% as a result of an estimated 8% growth in the light vehicle fleet and investments made to expand the network, partially offset by the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, due to the lower availability and competitiveness of ethanol in 2011. Excluding the effects of the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, sales volume of fuels for light vehicles would have grown by 10% compared with 3Q10. The diesel volume grew by 14% over 3Q10 as a result of the investments made to capture new clients and the growth of the Brazilian economy. Compared with 2Q11, total sales volume increased by 7%, mainly as a result of seasonality between periods in diesel sales. In 9M11, Ipiranga accumulates sales volume of 16,072 thousand cubic meters, up 8% over 9M10. Ipiranga’s net sales and services totaled R$ 11,218 million in 3Q11, up 20% over 3Q10, mainly due to the higher sales volume, the increased costs of anhydrous and hydrated ethanol, and the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, as a consequence of the lower availability of ethanol in 2011. Compared with 2Q11, Ipiranga’s net sales and services increased by 6%, mainly as a result of the seasonally higher volume. In 9M11, Ipiranga’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 31,153 million, up 17% over 9M10.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 172 thousand tons, down 2% from 3Q10. In the domestic market, sales volume grew by 7% (8 thousand tons), as a consequence of higher sales of glycols. Sales of specialty chemicals in the domestic market decreased by 4%, which is lower than the 9% decrease between second quarters, as a result of the reduced effect of inventory adjustments to the Brazilian economic slowdown by Oxiteno’s clients. In the international market, sales volume decreased by 22% (11 thousand tons), mainly as a result of the slowdown of global economy. Compared with 2Q11, sales volume increased by 13% (19 thousand tons), mainly as a consequence of seasonality between quarters. Oxiteno’s sales volume in 9M11 totals 481 thousand tons, down 6% from 9M10. Oxiteno’s net sales and services totaled R$ 624 million in 3Q11, up 16% over 3Q10, mainly as a consequence of the recovery in the average dollar prices during the last 12 months, despite the 6% stronger Real. Compared with 2Q11, net sales and services increased by 9%, mainly as a result of higher sales volume. In 9M11, accumulated net sales and services totaled R$ 1,747 million, up 12% over 9M10.

Ultracargo: In 3Q11, Ultracargo’s average storage remained stable compared with 3Q10, with an increase in effective storage in the Suape terminal, on the back of the start up of the expanded terminal in 3Q11, offset by a reduction of operations in the Santos terminal, as a result of lower imports of oil derivatives. Compared with 2Q11, average storage decreased by 2%. In 9M11, Ultracargo accumulates a 3% increase in the average storage of its terminals. Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 68 million in 3Q11, up 5% over 3Q10, due to contractual tariff adjustments. Compared with 2Q11, net sales and services remained stable. In 9M11, Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 198 million, down 15% from 9M10, as a consequence of the sale of in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses in July 2010.

Cost of Goods Sold: Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 11,983 million in 3Q11, up 19% over 3Q10, with increases in all the businesses. Compared with 2Q11, Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold increased by 6% as a result of seasonality between periods. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 33,298 million, up 15% over 9M10.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 850 million in 3Q11, up 5.2% over 3Q10, mainly as a result of higher sales volume, the effects of inflation on costs and increased costs with the renewal of LPG bottles. Compared with 2Q11, the cost of goods sold increased by 6.0%, mainly as a result of the seasonally higher volume. In 9M11, Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 2,388 million, up 4.1% over 9M10.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold amounted to R$ 10,555 million in 3Q11, up 19% over 3Q10, due to the higher sales volume, the increased costs of anhydrous and hydrated ethanol, and the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, as a consequence of the lower availability of ethanol in 2011. Compared with 2Q11, Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold increased by 5%, mainly as a result of the seasonally higher volume. In both comparisons, the increase in the cost of goods sold was partially offset by the non-recurring PIS/Cofins tax credit in 3Q11. In 9M11, Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 29,429 million, up 16% over 9M10.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 551 million in 3Q11, up 33% and up 25% over 3Q10 and 2Q11, respectively. Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold in 3Q11 was influenced by (i) historical costs of goods sold higher than current replacement costs, with an estimated effect of R$ 21 million, and (ii) non-recurring costs
 
 
 

 
 
related to the plant stoppage in Camaçari, at an amount of R$ 11 million. In addition to those two effects, Oxiteno’s higher cost of goods sold over 3Q10 results mainly from the increase in variable unit costs in dollars, partially offset by the 6% stronger Real. Compared with 2Q11, the increase in the cost of goods sold is mainly a result of the seasonally higher volume. In 9M11, Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold totaled R$ 1,412 million, up 14% over 9M10.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s cost of services provided amounted to R$ 29 million in 3Q11, up 3% over 3Q10, mainly as a result of the effects of inflation. Compared with 2Q11, the cost of services provided remained stable. In 9M11, Ultracargo’s cost of services provided totaled R$ 84 million, down 25% from 9M10, due to the effect of the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses in July 2010.

Gross profit: The gross profit of Ultrapar amounted to R$ 927 million in 3Q11, up 15% from 3Q10 as a consequence of the growth in the gross profit of Ipiranga and Ultracargo. Compared with 2Q11, Ultrapar's gross profit increased by 9%. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s gross profit totalled R$ 2,604 million, a 13% increase compared with 9M10.

Sales, General and Administrative Expenses: Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses reached R$ 544 million in 3Q11, up 15% over 3Q10. Compared with 2Q11, Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 8%. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 1,551 million, up 11% over 9M10.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 98 million in 3Q11, up 3.7% over 3Q10, due to the higher sales volume, marketing and sales campaigns, and the effects of inflation on personnel and freight expenses, partially offset by a higher variable compensation in 3Q10. Compared with 2Q11, Ultragaz’s sales, general and administrative expenses grew by 5.7%, as a result of the same items above mentioned. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 277 million, stable in relation to 9M10.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 356 million in 3Q11, up 20% over 3Q10, mainly due to (i) the higher volume sold, (ii) the effects of inflation on expenses, and (iii) higher expenses with advertising and marketing, expansion projects and variable compensation, in line with the earnings progression. Compared with 2Q11, Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 12%, due to the higher volume sold and the higher concentration of advertising, marketing and variable compensation expenses in 3Q11. In 9M11, Ipiranga’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 995 million, up 15% over 9M10.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 73 million in 3Q11, up 1% over 3Q10, having the effects of inflation on expenses been offset by a higher variable compensation. Compared with 2Q11, Oxiteno’s sales, general and administrative expenses decreased by 6%, as a result of a lower share of exports in the sales mix and a lower variable compensation during 3Q11. In 9M11, sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 230 million, up 9% over 9M10.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 16 million in 3Q11, down 4% and down 3% from 3Q10 and 2Q11, respectively, mainly due to a higher variable compensation in those quarters. Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 48 million in 9M11, down 18% from 9M10, as a consequence of the effect of the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses in July 2010.

Depreciation and Amortization: Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 3Q11 amounted to R$ 147 million, up 12% and 3% over 3Q10 and 2Q11, respectively, as a result of the higher investments made. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s depreciation costs and expenses totaled R$ 425 million, up 8% over 9M10.

Operating income: Ultrapar’s operating income amounted to R$ 398 million in 3Q11, up 15% from 3Q10, as a consequence of the increase seen in the operating income of Ipiranga and Ultracargo. Compared with 2Q11,
 
 
 

 
 
Ultrapar’s operating income was up by 9%. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s operating income totalled R$ 1,906 million, a 18% increase compared with 9M10.

Financial result: Ultrapar reported R$ 77 million of net financial expense in 3Q11, up R$ 17 million and R$ 7 million over the net financial expense in 3Q10 and 2Q11, respectively, mainly due to an increase in the CDI (Brazilian interbank interest rate) and a higher net debt, mainly as a consequence of the payment of dividends in August. At the end of 3Q11, net debt totaled R$ 2,972 million, corresponding to 1.5 times the EBITDA for the last 12 months, compared with a ratio of 1.4 times in 3Q10 and 2Q11. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s reported net financial expense totaled R$ 214 million, up R$ 14 million over 9M10.

Income and Social Contribution Taxes / Benefit of Tax Holidays: Ultrapar reported income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays of R$ 96 million in 3Q11, compared with an expense of R$ 79 million in 3Q10. Compared with 2Q11, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays was up 21%. In 9M11, income tax and social contribution expenses, net of benefit of tax holidays amounted to R$ 248 million, 20% up from 9M10.

Net Earnings: Ultrapar’s consolidated net earnings in 3Q11 amounted to R$ 225 million, up 10% and 5% over 3Q10 and 2Q11, respectively, mainly due to the higher EBITDA. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s reported net earnings totaled R$ 634 million, up 22% over 9M10.

EBITDA: Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 536 million in 3Q11, up 15% over 3Q10, due to the EBITDA growth in Ipiranga and Ultracargo. Compared with 2Q11, the growth was 7%. In 9M11, Ultrapar’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 1,506 million, up 15% over 9M10.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 79 million in 3Q11, down 18% from 3Q10, mainly due to the effects of inflation on costs and expenses and to a concentration of marketing and sales campaigns expenses. Compared with 2Q11, Ultragaz’s EBITDA remained stable. In 9M11, Ultragaz’s EBITDA totaled R$ 231 million, down 8% from 9M10.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 394 million in 3Q11, up 54% over 3Q10, amount that included the non-recurring effect of R$ 60 million related to PIS/Cofins tax credits. Excluding this non-recurring effect, Ipiranga’s EBITDA would have amounted to R$ 334 million in 3Q11, up 30% over 3Q10, mainly as a result of the higher sales volume and an improved sales mix. The EBITDA margin, excluding the non-recurring effect, was R$ 58/m3, higher than the R$ 49/m3 EBITDA margin in 3Q10 and the R$ 57/m3 EBITDA margin in 2Q11. In 9M11, Ipiranga’s EBITDA reached R$ 988 million, up 31% over 9M10.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 27 million in 3Q11, down 66% from 3Q10, mainly as a result of (i) the effect of the difference between historical and replacement costs in 3Q11, estimated at R$ 21 million, (ii) non-recurring costs resulting from the plant stoppage in Camaçari, in the amount of R$ 11 million, and (iii) the 6% stronger Real. Compared with 2Q11, Oxiteno’s EBITDA decreased by 67%. Excluding the non-recurring effects of the inventories and stoppage, EBITDA margin would have totaled US$ 208/ton in 3Q11. In 9M11, Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 182 million, down 3% from 9M10.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 30 million in 3Q11, up 9% over 3Q10, mainly as a result of the growth in the storage in the expanded terminal of Suape and contractual tariff adjustments. Compared with 2Q11, Ultracargo’s EBITDA remained basically stable. Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 89 million in 9M11, up 3% from 9M10, having the growth in the storage business been partially offset by the sale of the in-house logistics, solid bulk storage, and road transportation businesses in July 2010.

The purpose of including EBITDA information is to provide a measure for assessing our ability to generate cash from our operations. The EBITDA presented above was calculated based on the income before financial result, including depreciation and amortization and excluding income from sale of assets. 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 income (expense), income tax, depreciation and amortization, it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or effective tax rates, or levels of income on disposal 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 Brazilian GAAP. 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 KPMG Auditores Independentes have not performed during these nine months of 2011 any service other than the external audit of the financial statements of Ultrapar and affiliated companies and subsidiaries.

Considerations on the financial and operational information
 
Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information
 
From the year ending December 31st, 2010 onwards, CVM made mandatory the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in the presentation of consolidated financial statements of the Brazilian publicly-held companies. Accordingly, Ultrapar's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2010 and for the quarters ended March 31st, June 30th and September 30th, 2011 were prepared in compliance with the IFRS, which differ 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 2009 and 2010 financial statements 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 to the financial statements for the year ended December 31st, 2010.
 
The financial information of Ultragaz, Ipiranga, Oxiteno, and Ultracargo is reported without elimination of intercompany transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to the consolidated financial information of Ultrapar. In addition, except when otherwise indicated, the amounts presented in this document are expressed in millions of Reais and, therefore, are subject to rounding off. Consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables may differ from the direct sum of the amounts that precede them.
 
 
Effect of the acquisition – DNP
 
On October 26th, 2010, Ultrapar announced the signing of the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Distribuidora Nacional de Petróleo Ltda. (“DNP”). The total value of the acquisition was R$ 73 million, with an initial disbursement of R$ 47 million in November 2010 and additional disbursements of R$ 26 million in January 2011 and R$ 1 million in July 2011 in connection with the final working capital adjustment. Ultrapar’s and Ipiranga’s financial statements started to consolidate the results of the acquired business from the closing of the acquisition, occurred on November 1st, 2010.

Ø  
Completion of the implementation of Ultrapar’s new governance structure – On August 17th, 2011, each preferred share issued by Ultrapar was converted into one common voting share. Ultrapar’s shares started to be traded on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA under ticker symbol UGPA3. Simultaneously, ADRs represented by preferred shares started to be represented by Ultrapar’s common shares and to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange under this new format. Additionally, on the same date, Ultrapar’s new amended bylaws approved by the Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on June 28th, 2011 became effective.

The material amendments to the bylaws are (i) mandatory tender offer to 100% of the company's shareholders in the event a shareholder, or a group of shareholders acting in concert, acquire or become holders of 20% of the company's shares, at a price equal to the highest value paid by the acquirer in the preceding six months, (ii) minimum of 30% of independent members of the Board of Directors, and (iii) creation of audit and compensation committees, as ancillary bodies of the Board of Directors. There is no limitation on voting rights, special treatment to current shareholders, tender offers for a price above that of the acquisition of shares or any other poison pill provisions in Ultrapar’s bylaws, thus assuring the effectiveness of a majority shareholders’ approval on all matters to be deliberated.

Ø
Acquisition of Repsol’s LPG distribution business in Brazil– On October 20th, 2011, Ultrapar acquired, through Ultragaz, Repsol’s LPG distribution business in Brazil. The acquisition value totaled R$ 50 million. This amount includes R$ 2 million related to the net cash of the acquired company. Repsol Gás Brasil solely distributes bulk LPG and has 1% market share in the Brazilian bulk LPG market. The volume sold by Repsol Gás Brasil amounted to 22 thousand tons in the last 12 months. The acquisition of Repsol Gás Brasil strengthens Ultragaz’s bulk LPG business, a segment in which it was a pioneer and has a relevant position, allowing economies of scale in logistics and management, as well as an improved positioning for growth in the bulk segment, where volume progression is correlated to the GDP performance. The results of the acquired business started to be consolidated by Ultrapar on October 20th, 2011.

Start up of operations of Oxiteno’s ethylene oxide plant in Camaçari and Ultracargo’s expanded terminal in Suape – In August, the expansion of the ethylene oxide plant in Camaçari was completed, increasing the current capacity by 90 thousand tons/year. This expansion concludes an important investment cycle in the expansion of Oxiteno. In September 2011, Ultracargo's expanded terminal in Suape started operations, increasing the storage capacity of chemicals by 26 thousand m3. This project is part of Ultracargo’s expansion plan, which also includes expansions of the Santos and Aratu terminals, resulting in a 15% increase in Ultracargo’s storage capacity compared with that in the end of 2010.
 
Executive summary of the results

During the third quarter of 2011, the Brazilian economy maintained its growth trend at a slower pace, particularly in industrial activity, evidenced by the 2.6% growth in the first half of 2011 compared with the first half of 2010. The retail sector, on its turn, accumulated a 6% growth by August 2011 compared with the same period in 2010, driven by domestic demand, which contributed to a higher inflation level. Specifically in relation to the automotive sector, the number of vehicles licensed in 9M11 grew by 7% compared with 9M10. In the international scenario, economic instability resulted in a strong 19% depreciation of the Real against the dollar during 3Q11, ending the period at R$1.85/US$. The worsening of the outlook for the global economy contributed to the Central Bank’s decision to decrease the interest rate (SELIC) to 11.5% in the last two meetings of the COPOM (Monetary Policy Committee), interrupting a cycle of successive increases.
 
In 3Q11, Ultragaz’s sales volume grew by 3% compared with 3Q10, driven by a 4% growth in the bulk segment. Ultragaz's EBITDA reached R$ 79 million in the quarter, down 18% from 3Q10, mainly due to the effects of inflation on costs and expenses and a concentration of expenses in marketing and sales campaigns.
 
At Ipiranga, the continued expansion of the light vehicle fleet and the growth of the Brazilian economy, combined with the investments for network expansion, resulted in a 10% increase in the fuel sales volume over 3Q10. Ipiranga’s EBITDA in 3Q11 amounted to R$ 394 million, including the non-recurring effect of R$ 60 million relating to PIS/Cofins tax credits. Excluding the non-recurring effect, Ipiranga’s EBITDA in 3Q11 would have amounted to R$ 334 million, up 30% over 3Q10, resulting in a unit EBITDA margin of R$ 58/m3, higher than the R$ 49/m3 EBITDA margin for 3Q10.
 
Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 172 thousand tons, down 2% from 3Q10, with a 7% increase in the Brazilian market and a 22% decrease in the international market, mainly as a result of the effects of the global economic slowdown on exports. Oxiteno’s EBITDA totaled R$ 27 million in 3Q11, down 66% from 3Q10, mainly as a result of (i) historical costs of goods sold higher than current replacement costs, (ii) non-recurring costs resulting from the stoppage in Camaçari, in the amount of R$ 11 million, and (iii) a 6% stronger Real. Oxiteno estimates that the effect of the difference between historical and replacement costs was R$ 21 million in this quarter.
 
In 3Q11, Ultracargo’s average storage remained stable compared with 3Q10, with an increase in effective storage in the Suape terminal, on the back of the start up of the expanded terminal in 3Q11, offset by a reduction of operations in the Santos terminal, as a result of reduced imports of oil derivatives. Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 30 million in 3Q11, up 9% over 3Q10, mainly as a result of the start up of the expanded terminal in Suape .
 
Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 536 million in 3Q11, up 15% over 3Q10, due to the EBITDA growth in Ipiranga and Ultracargo. Net earnings for 3Q11 reached R$ 225 million, up 10% over 3Q10, mainly as a result of the EBITDA growth.

Operational performance
 
Ultragaz – In 3Q11, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 438 thousand tons, up 2.6% over 3Q10, driven by a 4.0% growth in the bulk segment, resulting from the economic growth and investments made to capture new clients. Compared with 2Q11, sales volume grew by 5.2%, mainly as a result of seasonality between periods. In 9M11, Ultragaz’s sales volume totals 1,236 thousand tons, up 2.6% over 9M10.
 
 
Ipiranga – Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 5,777 thousand cubic meters in 3Q11, up 10% over 3Q10. In 3Q11, sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 6% as a result of an estimated 8% growth in the light vehicle fleet and investments made to expand the network, partially offset by the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, due to the lower availability and competitiveness of ethanol in 2011. Excluding the effects of the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, sales volume of fuels for light vehicles would have grown by 10% compared with 3Q10. The diesel volume grew by 14% over 3Q10 as a result of the investments made to capture new clients and the growth of the Brazilian economy. Compared with 2Q11, total sales volume increased by 7%, mainly as a result of seasonality between periods in diesel sales. In 9M11, Ipiranga accumulates sales volume of 16,072 thousand cubic meters, up 8% over 9M10.

 
Oxiteno – Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 172 thousand tons, down 2% from 3Q10. In the domestic market, sales volume grew by 7% (8 thousand tons), as a consequence of higher sales of glycols. Sales of specialty chemicals in the domestic market decreased by 4%, which is lower than the 9% decrease between second quarters, as a result of the reduced effect of inventory adjustments to the Brazilian economic slowdown by Oxiteno’s clients. In the international market, sales volume decreased by 22% (11 thousand tons), mainly as a result of the slowdown of global economy. Compared with 2Q11, sales volume increased by 13% (19 thousand tons), mainly as a consequence of seasonality between quarters. Oxiteno’s sales volume in 9M11 totals 481 thousand tons, down 6% from 9M10.

Ultracargo – In 3Q11, Ultracargo’s average storage remained stable compared with 3Q10, with an increase in effective storage in the Suape terminal, on the back of the start up of the expanded terminal in 3Q11, offset by a reduction of operations in the Santos terminal, as a result of lower imports of oil derivatives. Compared with 2Q11, average storage decreased by 2%. In 9M11, Ultracargo accumulates a 3% increase in the average storage of its terminals.
 
 
Economic-financial performance

Net sales and services – Ultrapar’s consolidated net sales and services amounted to R$ 12,909 million in 3Q11, up 18% over 3Q10, as a result of the sales growth in all businesses.

Ultragaz – Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 998 million in 3Q11, up 2.4% over 3Q10, in line with the variation in volumes sold in the period. Compared with 2Q11, net sales and services increased by 5.6%, as a result of the seasonally higher volume. In 9M11, Ultragaz’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 2,810 million, up 2.6% over 9M10.
 
Ipiranga – Ipiranga’s net sales and services totaled R$ 11,218 million in 3Q11, up 20% over 3Q10, mainly due to the higher sales volume, the increased costs of anhydrous and hydrated ethanol, and the increased share of gasoline in the sales mix, as a consequence of the lower availability of ethanol in 2011. Compared with 2Q11, Ipiranga’s net sales and services increased by 6%, mainly as a result of the seasonally higher volume.

Outlook

With the acquisition of the Repsol Gás Brasil’s LPG business and the start up of of Oxiteno’s expanded ethylene oxide plant in Camaçari and Ultracargo’s expanded terminal in Suape, Ultrapar strengthens its businesses to enable continued growth. At the same time, Ipiranga continued with its 2011 investment plan, with a focus on capturing benefits from the market growth and expanding in the North, Northeast and Midwest regions of Brazil, growing its reseller network by 255 service stations in 9M11. These movements derive from the company’s constant search for good investment opportunities, as well as from its planning and execution capability. These new steps, combined with the features of Ultrapar’s businesses – which are partly resilient and partly leveraged on the economic growth – and with its sound financial position, will enable Ultrapar to maintain its path of sustained growth in the next quarters.
 
In August, Ultrapar also completed the implementation of its new corporate governance structure, as an instrument to strengthen and endure the company and its growth. The new structure is aimed at creating conditions for Ultrapar to repeat in the next decades its performance and value creation since its IPO in 1999, period in which Ultrapar reported EBITDA, net earnings and shareholder return higher than 20% per year.
