REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
To the Shareholders, Board of Directors and Management of
Ultrapar Participações S.A.
São Paulo - SP
 
Introduction
 
We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (the “Company”), identified as Parent and Consolidated, respectively, included in the Interim Financial Information Form (ITR), for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, which comprises the balance sheet as of March 31, 2013 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.
 
The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) - Interim Financial Information and the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation of the Interim Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
 
Scope of review
 
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on review of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards on auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
 
Conclusion on individual interim financial information
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1), applicable to the preparation of the Interim Financial Information (ITR), and presented in accordance with the standards issued by CVM.

Conclusion on consolidated interim financial information
 
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated interim financial information included in the ITR referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR), and presented in accordance with the standards issued by CVM.
 
Emphasis of matter
 
Restatement of corresponding amounts
 
We draw attention to note 2.w) to the interim financial information, which states that due to the changes in the accounting policy for joint ventures and for employee benefits, the individual and consolidated corresponding figures relating to the balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, and the individual and consolidated corresponding interim financial information relating to the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, cash flows and value added (supplemental information) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, presented as comparative information, have been adjusted and are restated as required by CPC 23 and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, and CPC 26 (R1) and IAS 1 (Revised 2007) - Presentation of Financial Statements. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of this matter.
 
Other matters
 
Statements of value added
 
We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of value added, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management, the presentation of which is required by the standards issued by the CVM applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR) and considered as supplemental information for International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, which do not require the presentation of these statements. These statements were subject to the same review procedures described above, and, based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, consistently with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
 
The accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information has been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.

The Company also operates in oil refining through its joint-venture in Refinaria de Petróleo Riograndense S.A. (“RPR”).

2.
Summary of significant accounting policies

The Company’s consolidated interim financial information are presented in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 – Interim Financial Reponting by the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and accounting practices adopted in Brazil (“BR GAAP”) in accordance with CPC 21 (R1), as issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

The Company’s individual interim financial information are presented in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) of the BR GAAP. The investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured by the equity method of accounting, which, for purposes of IFRS, would be measured at cost or fair value.

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

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

a.  
Recognition of income

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

b.

c.  
Financial instruments

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

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

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

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

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

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

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

Fair value hedge: derivative financial instrument used to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of an item, attributable to a particular risk, which can affect the entity’s profit or loss.

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

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

d.  
Trade receivables

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

e.  
Inventories

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

f.  
Investments

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

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

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

g.  
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recognized at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant and equipment under construction, as well as maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages and estimated costs to remove, to decommission or to restore assets (see Note 18).

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

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

h.  
Leases

•   Finance leases

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

•   Operating leases

There are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where there is no purchase option or the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as cost or expenses in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract (see Note 23.g).

i.  
Intangible assets

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

 
Goodwill is carried net of accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated since January 1, 2009 is shown as intangible asset corresponding to the positive difference between the amount paid or payable to the seller and the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity, and is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units (“CGU”) for impairment testing purposes.

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

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

The Company and its subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that were created internally. The Company and its subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, except for goodwill and the “am/pm” brand.

j.  
Other assets

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

k.  
Financial liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables, loans, debentures and hedging instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as “financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” or “financial liabilities at amortised cost”. The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss refer to derivative financial instruments and financial liabilities designated as hedged items in a fair value hedge relationship upon initial recognition (see Note 2.c – fair value hedge). The financial liabilities at amortised cost are stated at the initial transaction amount plus related charges and transaction costs, net of amortization. The charges are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest rate method (see Note 14.i).

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

l.  
Income and social contribution taxes on income

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

m.  
Provision for assets retirement obligation – fuel tanks

The Company and its subsidiaries have the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded service stations after a certain period. The estimated cost of the obligation to remove these fuel tanks is recognized as a liability when tanks are installed. The estimated cost is recognized in property, plant and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful life of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are monetarily restated until the respective tank is removed (see Note 18). An increase in the estimated cost of the obligation to remove the tanks could result in negative impact in future results. The estimated removal cost is reviewed and updated annually or when there is significant change in its amount.

n.  
Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks

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

o.  
Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits granted and to be granted to employees, retirees, and pensioners are based on an actuarial calculation prepared by an independent actuary, using the projected unit credit method (see Note 24.b). The actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholder’s equity. Past service cost is recognized through the income statement.

p.  
Other liabilities

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

q.  
Foreign currency transactions

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

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

Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Brazilian Real), which have administrative autonomy, are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate of each period and shareholders’ equity are translated at the historic exchange rate of each transaction affecting shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments and will be recognized in profit or loss if these investments are disposed of. The recognized balance in other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments as of March 31, 2013 was a loss of R$ 11,388 (gain of R$ 12,621 as of December 31, 2012).

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

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

The subsidiary American Chemical I.C.S.A. (“American Chemical”) determined its functional currency as the U.S. dollar, as its sales and purchases of goods, and financing activities are performed substantially in this currency.

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have administrative autonomy, are considered as an extention of the activities of their parent company and are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income or loss. The loss recognized in income as of March 31, 2013 amounted to R$ 637 (R$ 267 gain as of March 31, 2012).

s.  
Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments

The preparation of the interim financial information requires the use of estimates, assumptions and judgments for the accounting of certain assets, liabilities and income. Therefore, Company and subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the time of preparation of the interim financial information, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The interim financial information therefore include estimates, assumptions and judgments related mainly to determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 4, 14 and 22), the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts (Note 5), the determination of provisions for income taxes (Note 9), the useful life of property, plant and equipment (Note 12), the useful life of intangible assets and the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill (Note 13), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Note 18), tax, civil and labor provisions (Note 23 items a,b,c,d) and estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Note 24.b). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from their estimates.

t.  
Impairment of assets

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

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

No impairment was recognized in the periods presented.

u.  
Adjustment to present value

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

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

v.  
Statements of value added

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

w.  
Adoption of the pronouncements issued by CPC and IFRS effective in 2013

The following standards are effective on January 1st, 2013 and have impacted the Company’s financial statements and interim financial information previously disclosed in 2012.

a) Business combination – acquisition of American Chemical I.C.S.A.
 
On November 1st, 2012, the Company, through its subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. Indústria e Comércio (“Oxiteno S.A.”), purchased 100% of the shares of American Chemical, a Uruguayan specialty chemicals company. American Chemical owns a plant in Montevideo, with production capacity of 81 thousand tons of specialty chemicals, particularly sulfonate and sulfate surfactants for the home and personal care industries, as well as products for the leather industry. The total amount paid was R$ 113,603, including the adjustments of working capital in the amount of R$ 6,168, paid in the first quarter of 2013.

The purchase price paid for the shares is being allocated among the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, measured at fair value. The recognition of fair values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was concluded as of March 31, 2013. The conclusion of the determination of fair values of inventories is expected for the second quarter of 2013. 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 provisional goodwill is R$ 43,492.

c.
Deferred Stock Plan

On April 27, 2001, the General Shareholders’ Meeting approved a benefit plan to members of management and employees in executive positions in the Company and its subsidiaries. On November 26, 2003, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting approved certain amendments to the original plan of 2001 (the “Deferred Stock Plan”). In the Deferred Stock Plan, certain members of management of the Company and its subsidiaries have the voting and economic rights of shares and the ownership of these shares is retained by the subsidiaries of the Company. The Deferred Stock Plan provides for the transfer of the ownership of the shares to those eligible members of management after five to ten years from the initial concession of the rights subject to uninterrupted employment of the participant during the period. The total number of shares to be used for the Deferred Stock Plan is subject to the availability in treasury of such shares. It is incumbent on Ultrapar’s executive officers to select the members of management eligible for the plan and propose the number of shares in each case for approval by the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2013, the amount granted to the company’s executives, including tax charges, amounted R$ 63,643 (R$ 63,643 until December 31, 2012). This amount is amortized over the vesting period of Deferred Stock Plan. The amortization as of March 31, 2013 in the amount of R$ 2,474 (R$ 1,722 as of March 31, 2012) was recognized as a general and administrative expense. The fair value of the awards were determined on the grant date based on the market value of the shares on the BM&FBOVESPA S.A. – Bolsa de Valores, Mercadorias e Futuros (“BM&FBOVESPA”), the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange.

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)


On December 31, 2012 the Company tested the balances of goodwill shown in the table above for impairment. The determination of value in use involves assumptions, judgments and estimates of cash flows, such as growth rates of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of investments and working capital and discount rates. The assumptions about growth projections and future cash flows are based on the Company's business plan, as well as comparable market data, and represent management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist over the economic life of the various CGUs, to which goodwill is related.

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

The discount and growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 10.4% to 29.6% and 0% to 3.5% p.a., respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed.

The Company’s goodwill impairment tests did not result in the recognition of losses for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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

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

iv) Commercial property rights include those described below:

On July 11, 2002, subsidiary Tequimar executed an agreement with CODEBA – Companhia das Docas do Estado da Bahia, which allows it to explore the area in which the Aratu Terminal is located for 20 years, renewable for a similar period. The price paid by Tequimar was R$ 12,000, which is being amortized over the period from August 2002 to July 2042.

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

Some subsidiaries issued collateral to financial institutions in connection with the amounts owed by some of their customers to such institutions (vendor financing). If a subsidiary is required to make any payment under these collaterals, this subsidiary may recover the amount paid directly from its customers through commercial collection. The maximum amount of future payments related to these collaterals is R$ 11,894 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 12,137 as of December 31, 2012), with maturities of less than 211 days. As of March 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries did not have losses in connection with these collaterals. The fair value of collaterals recognized in current liabilities as other payables is R$ 294 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 298 as of December 31, 2012), which is recognized as profit or loss as customers settle their obligations with the financial institutions.

Some financing agreements of the Company and its subsidiaries have cross default clauses that require them to pay the debt assumed in case of default of other debts equal to or greater than US$ 15 million. As of March 31, 2013, there was no event of default of the debts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Points received by Ipiranga’s customers that may be used with the partner Multiplus Fidelidade and for discounts of fuel in Ipiranga’s website (www.postoipiranganaweb.com.br) are considered part of the sales revenue based on the fair value of the points granted. Revenue is deferred based on the expected redemption of points, and is recognized in profit or loss when the points are redeemed, on which occasion the costs incurred are also recognized. Deferred revenue of unredeemed points is also recognized in profit or loss when the points expire.
 
The franchising upfront fee related to the ‘am/pm’ convenience store chain received by Ipiranga is deferred and recognized in profit or loss on an accrual basis, based on the substance of the agreements with the franchisees.

Risks and financial instruments (Consolidated)

Risk management and financial instruments - Governance

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

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

Currency risk

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

The Company and its subsidiaries use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Brazilian Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Brazilian Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, receipts and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated below, translated into Brazilian Reais as of March 31, 2013 and as of December 31, 2012:

Interest rate risk

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

The Company does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of March 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries had interest rate derivative financial instruments linked to domestic loans, swapping the fixed interest rate of certain debts to floating interest rate (CDI).

Credit risks

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

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

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

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

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

Liquidity risk
 
The Company and its subsidiaries’ main sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financings. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that these sources are sufficient to satisfy their current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt and payment of dividends.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries periodically examine opportunities for acquisitions and investments. They consider different types of investments, either directly or through joint ventures, or associated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, debt financing, 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$ 1,557.6 million, including estimated interests on loans. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2013 totals R$ 1,426 million. On March 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 2,073.5 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term financial investments (for quantitative information, see Notes 4 and 14).
 
The table below presents a summary of financial liabilities as of March 31, 2013 to be settled by the Company and its subsidiaries, by maturity. The amounts disclosed in this table are the contractual undiscounted cash outflows, and, therefore, these amounts ​​can be different from the amounts disclosed on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2013.

(2) Includes estimated interest payments on short-term and long-term loans until the payment.
 
(3) The currency and interest rate hedging instruments were estimated based on projected U.S dollar futures contracts and the futures curve of DI x Pre contract quoted on BM&FBOVESPA as of March 28, 2013, and on the futures curve of LIBOR (BBA - British Bankers Association) on March 28, 2013. In the table above, only the hedging instruments with negative result at the time of settlement were considered.

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

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

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

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

Hedging instruments existing as of March 31, 2013 are described below, according to their category, risk, and protection strategy:

a - Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of liabilities in foreign currency - The purpose of these contracts is (i) to offset the effect of the change in exchange rates of debts or firm commitments in U.S. dollars by converting them into debts or firm commitments in Brazilian Reais linked to CDI and (ii) change a financial investment linked to the CDI and given as guarantee to loan in U.S. dollar, into a financial investment linked to U.S. dollar. As of March 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 236.8 million in notional amount with liability position, on average of 107.6% of CDI, of which US$ 96.8 million, on average, had asset position at US$ + 4.8 p.a. and US$ 140.0 million had asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 0.97% p.a.

b - Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of operations - The purpose of these contracts is to make the exchange rate of the revenues of subsidiaries Oleoquímica, Oxiteno S.A. and Oxiteno Nordeste equal to the exchange rate of the cost of their main raw materials. As of March 31, 2013, these swap contracts totaled US$ 11.3 million and, on average, had an asset position at 65.4% of CDI and liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

c - Hedging against the interest rate fixed in local financing - The purpose of these contracts is to convert the interest rate on financing contracted in Brazilian Reais from fixed into floating. On March 31, 2013 these swap contracts totaled R$ 917.5 million of notional amount, and on average had an asset position at 12.0% p.a. and liability position at 98.9% of CDI.
 
Hedge accounting

The Company and its subsidiaries test, throughout the duration of the hedge, the effectiveness of their derivatives, as well as the changes in their fair value. The Company and its subsidiaries designate as fair value hedges certain derivative financial instruments used to offset the variations in interest and exchange rates, based on the market value of financing contracted in Brazilian Reais and U.S. dollars.

On March 31, 2013 the notional amount of interest rate hedging instruments totaled R$ 917.5 million referring to the principal of the pre-fixed loans in Brazilian Reais. As of March 31, 2013, a loss of R$ 6.7 million related to the result of hedging instruments, an income of R$ 28.7 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt and an expense of R$ 48.2 million related to the accrued interest rate of the debt were recognized in the income statements, transforming the average effective cost of the operations into 98.9% of CDI.

On March 31, 2013 the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments designated as fair value hedge totaled US$ 80.0 million. As of March 31, 2013, an expense of R$ 5.2 million related to the result of hedging instruments, a gain of R$ 0.6 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt and an income of R$ 1.9 million related to the financial expense of the debt were recognized in the income statements, transforming the average effective cost of the operation into 104.1% of CDI (see Note 14.c.1).

Notes to the interim financial information

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)


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

The fair values of cash and bank deposits balances are identical to their carrying values.
Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the value of the fund unit as of the date of the reporting period, which corresponds to their fair value.
Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar investments offer daily liquidity through repurchase at the yield curve and, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.
The fair value calculation of LPG Inc.’s notes in the foreign market (see Note 14.b), is based on the quoted prices in an active market.

The fair value of other financial investments and financings was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for marking-to-market, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. For some cases where there is no active market for the financial instrument, the Company and its subsidiaries can use quotes provided by the transaction counterparties.

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

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

Fair value hierarchy of financial instruments on the balance sheet

The financial instruments recognized at fair value on the balance sheet are classified in the following categories:

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

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

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

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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Sensitivity analysis

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

For the sensitivity analysis of foreign exchange hedging instruments, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S dollar futures contracts quoted on BM&FBOVESPA as of March 28, 2013. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 2.63 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Real against the likely scenario, according to the risk to which the hedged item is exposed.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of March 31, 2013, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Brazilian Reais and the balance in Brazilian Reais as of March 31, 2013 were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Brazilian Reais, the Company used the futures curve of DI x Pre contract on BM&FBOVESPA as of March 28, 2013 for each of the swap and debt (hedged item) maturities, to determine the likely scenarios. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the likely scenario pre-fixed interest rate.

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

Tax matters

Provisions

On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz and Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”) filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to recognize and offset PIS and COFINS credits on LPG purchases, against other taxes levied by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction, the subsidiaries were required to make escrow deposits for these debits in the accumulated amount of R$ 298,013 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 291,483 as of December 31, 2012) and have recognized a corresponding liability.

The subsidiary IPP has provisions for IRPJ and CSLL related to the unconstitutionality of Law No. 9316/1996, that denied the deduction of CSLL from the IRPJ tax basis, in the amount of R$ 19,262 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 19,120 as of December 31, 2012).

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia Ultragaz, Tequimar, Tropical, Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) and IPP filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from their PIS and COFINS tax bases. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP obtained the right to pay the amounts into escrow deposits through an injunction, and recognized a corresponding provision in the amount of R$ 82,592 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 81,622 as of December 31, 2012).

The subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. decided to pay off, within the Decree 58811/2012 amnesty issued by the State of São Paulo, a tax assessment based on alleged undue ICMS credits taken on invoices issued for the symbolic return of raw materials that had previously been delivered to the subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste for industrialization. The provision in the amount of R$ 15,364 was transfer to account payable as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 15,226 as of December 31, 2012).

The subsidiary IPP and its subsidiaries have provisions related to ICMS, mainly with respect to: (a) tax notices filed in connection with interstate sales of fuel to industrial customers without the payment of ICMS in accordance with the interpretation of Article 2 of Supplementary Law No. 87/1996, R$ 12,009 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 11,741 as of December 31, 2012), and (b) payment of ICMS for several reasons that resulted in tax assessments for which the proof of payment is not so evident, R$ 19,918 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 19,499 as of December 31, 2012).

Contigent assets and liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries have favorable judgments to pay contributions to PIS and COFINS without the changes introduced by Law 9718/1998 in its original version. The ongoing questioning refers to the levy of these contributions on sources of income other than gross revenue. In 2005, the STF (the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court) decided the question in favor of the taxpayers. Although this has set a favorable precedent, the effect of this decision does not automatically apply to all companies, since they must await the formal decision in their own lawsuits. Certain lawsuits of the Company’s subsidiaries are currently pending trial and, in the event all such lawsuits are decided in favor of the subsidiaries, the Company estimates that the total positive effect on income before income and social contribution taxes, may reach R$ 35,336, net of attorney’s fees.

The main tax claims of subsidiary IPP classified as having a possible risk of loss, and that have not been recognized in the interim financial information due to this assessment, are related to: (a) the required proportional reversal of ICMS credits recognized on the purchase of ethanol that was later resold at lower prices as a result of PROÁLCOOL, a Federal Government program to encourage alcohol production, determining the anticipation of financial subsidy by the distributors to the mill owners and their subsequent reimbursement by the DNC (current National Oil Agency), R$ 106,403 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 104,086 as of December 31, 2012), (b) alleged undue ICMS credits for which the tax authorities understand that there was no proof of origin, R$ 23,909 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 23,901 as of December 31, 2012), (c) assessments for alleged non-payment of ICMS, R$ 24,096 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 23,096 as of December 31, 2012), (d) assessment issued in Ourinhos/SP in connection with the return of ethanol loans made with deferred tax, R$ 36,689 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 36,324 as of December 31, 2012), (e) assessments in the State of Rio de Janeiro demanding the reversal of ICMS credits on interstate sales made under Article 33 of ICMS Convention 66/88, which allowed the use of the ICMS credit but was suspended by an injunction granted by STF, R$ 16,201 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 16,060 as of December 31, 2012), (f) ICMS credits taken in relation to bills considered invalid, though the understanding of the STJ  (the Brazilian High Court of Justice) is that it is possible to take credit, even if there is defect in the document of the seller, as long as it is confirmed that the transaction occurred, R$ 28,569 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 28,515 as of December 31, 2012); (g) assessments arising from surplus or shortage of inventory, generated by differences in temperature or handling of the product, without the corresponding issuance of invoices, R$ 29,441 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 31,380 as of December 31, 2012), (h) infraction relating to ICMS credits due to alleged non-compliance with legal formalities, R$ 35,116 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 35,032 as of December 31, 2012) and; (i) assessments arising from ICMS credits related to inputs of ethanol from certain States that had granted tax benefits to producers of alcohol in alleged disagreement with the law, R$ 24,904 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 24,662 as of December 31, 2012).

The subsidiary IPP has assessments invalidating the set-off of IPI credits in connection with the purchase of raw materials used in the manufacturing of products which sales are not subject to IPI under the protection of tax immunity. The non-provisioned amount of this contingency, as of March 31, 2013, is R$ 97,398 (R$ 81,868 as of December 31, 2012).

c. 
Civil claims

Provisions

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions for lawsuits and administrative proceedings, mainly derived from contracts entered into with customers and former services providers, as well as proceedings related to environmental issues in the amount of R$ 96,860 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 91,242 as of December 31, 2012).

Contingent liabilities

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

d. 
Labor matters

Provisions

The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions of R$ 42,739 as of March 31, 2013 (R$ 44,186 as of December 31, 2012) for labor litigation filed by former employees and by employees of our service providers mainly contesting the non-payment of labor rights.

Contingent liabilities

In 1990, the Petrochemical Industry Labor Union (Sindiquímica), of which the employees of Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, companies located in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex, are members, filed separate lawsuits against the subsidiaries demanding the compliance with the fourth section of the collective labor agreement, which provided for a salary adjustment in lieu of the salary policies practiced. In the same year, a collective labor dispute was also filed by the Union of Employers (SINPEQ) against Sindiquímica, requiring the recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such fourth section. Individual claims were rejected. The collective bargain agreement is currently pending trial by STF. In the second half of 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective bargain agreement dispute. Based on the opinion of their legal advisors, that reviewed the latest STF decision in the collective bargain agreement dispute as well as the status of the individual claims involving the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA, the management of such subsidiaries believed that it was not necessary to recognize a provision as of March 31, 2013.

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

e. 
Contracts

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

Port
Minimum movement in tons per year
Maturity
Aratu

Aratu
900,000
2022
Suape
250,000
2027
Suape
400,000
2029

If the annual movement is less than the minimum contractual movement, the subsidiary is liable to pay the difference between the effective movement and the minimum contractual movement, based on the port tariff rates in effect on the date established for payment. As of March 31, 2013, these rates were R$ 5.79 per ton for Aratu and R$ 1.38 per ton for Suape. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement required since the beginning of the agreements.
 
Subsidiary Oxiteno Nordeste has a supply agreement with Braskem S.A. which establishes a minimum quarterly consumption level of ethylene and conditions for the supply of ethylene until 2021. The minimum purchase commitment clause provides a minimum annual consumption of 205 thousand tons and a maximum of 220 thousand tons. The minimum purchase commitment and the actual demand accumulated to March 31, 2013 and 2012, expressed in tons of ethylene, are shown below. Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, the subsidiary would be liable for a fine of 40% of the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased.

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

Since March 2013, we maintain liability insurance policies to indemnify our directors, executive officers of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and members of the fiscal council in the total amount of US$50 million, which cover liabilities resulting from wrongful acts, including any act or omission committed or attempted by a person acting in his or her capacity as director, executive officer of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and member of the fiscal council or any matter claimed against such directors, executive officers of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and members of the fiscal council solely by reason of his or her serving in such capacity, except if the act, omission or the claim is consequence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such directors, executive officers of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries and members of the fiscal council.

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

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

Employee benefits and private pension plan (Consolidated)

a. 
ULTRAPREV- Associação de Previdência Complementar

In February 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of a defined contribution pension plan to be sponsored by Company and each of its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev - Associação de Previdência Complementar (“Ultraprev”), since August 2001. Under the terms of the plan, every year each participating employee chooses his or her basic contribution to the plan. Each sponsoring company provides a matching contribution in an amount equivalent to each basic contribution, up to a limit of 11% of the employee’s reference salary, according to the rules of the plan. As participating employees retire, they may choose to receive either (i) a monthly sum ranging between 0.5% and 1.0% of their respective accumulated fund in Ultraprev or (ii) a fixed monthly amount which will exhaust their respective accumulated fund over a period of 5 to 25 years. The sponsoring company does not guarantee the amounts or the duration of the benefits received by each employee that retires. As of March 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 4,379 (R$ 3,848 as of March 31, 2012) to Ultraprev, which amount is recognized as expense in the income statement.

Considerations on the financial and operational information


Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the information

The selected financial information included in this analysis were extracted from Ultrapar’s interim financial information.
 
The accounting policies adopted by the Company and its subsidiaries are in accordance with the statements, interpretations and guidelines issued by the CPC and approved by the CVM in the process of convergence with international financial reporting (“IFRS”) issued by the IASB.
 
The Company’s consolidated interim financial information was prepared in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the IASB, and presented in a consistent manner with the standards issued by the CVM.
 
The financial information of Ultrapar corresponds to the company’s consolidated information. 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.
 
On October 4th, 2012, CVM issued the Instruction No. 527 (“ICVM 527”), which governs the disclosure by listed companies in Brazil of EBITDA — Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, and EBIT — Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, for the results disclosed from January 1st, 2013 onwards.

From 2013 onwards, the adoption of IFRS 11 and IAS (International Accounting Standard) 19 became mandatory in the presentation of financial statements of publicly-traded companies, resulting in the following changes: (i) results from joint ventures (“JV”) are no longer proportionally consolidated and will be recognized through the equity method and (ii) actuarial gains and losses from post-employment benefits cease to affect the operating results and start to be recognized under shareholders’ equity.

In order to provide comparability of financial statements with periods prior to the adoption of the aforementioned accounting changes, the figures presented in this document relating to 2012 have been updated in accordance with ICVM 527, IFRS 11 and IAS 19. EBITDA according to ICVM 527, IFRS 11 and IAS 19 and net income according to IAS 19 differ from EBITDA and net income previously reported by the company, as shown below:

(2) Performance Analysis:

Net revenue from sales and services: Ultrapar’s consolidated net sales and services totaled R$ 13,600 million in 1Q13, up 10% over 1Q12, as a result of revenues growth in Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar’s net sales and services decreased by 5%, due to the seasonality between periods.

Ultragaz: In 1Q13, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 396 thousand tons, a 2% reduction from 1Q12, mainly due to the lower number of working days in 1Q13, with an estimated reducing effect of 4% on sales volume, and lower consumption by large customers (mainly composed of industrial clients), partially offset by the growth of the small bulk segment (composed of residential, commercial and small industrial clients). Compared with 4Q12, sales volume decreased by 5%, mainly due to the seasonality between periods. Ultragaz’s net sales and services totaled R$ 920 million in 1Q13, in line with 1Q12, despite the 2% reduction in sales volume. Compared with 4Q12, Ultragaz’s net sales and services decreased by 4%, mainly due to lower seasonal volume.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s sales volume totaled 5,575 thousand cubic meters in 1Q13, 2% above 1Q12 volumes, influenced by less three business days of sales in the period, with an estimated reducing effect of 4%. Sales volume of fuels for light vehicles grew by 7% due to the growth of the light vehicle fleet and investments in the network expansion, partially offset by the lower number of working days in 1Q13. The volume of diesel decreased by 1% compared to 1Q12, mainly as a consequence of the lower number of working days in 1Q13, partially offset by the 6% growth in sales volume in the reseller segment, as a result of investments in the network expansion. Compared with 4Q12, sales volume decreased by 9%, mainly due to the seasonality between periods. Ipiranga's net sales and services totaled R$ 11,859 million in 1Q13, a 10% increase over 1Q12, mainly as a result of (i) increased sales volume, (ii) increases in diesel and gasoline costs by Petrobras, and (iii) the improved sales mix, with higher share of fuels for light vehicles and diesel sold to the reseller segment. Compared with 4Q12, Ipiranga's net sales and services decreased by 5%, mainly due to lower seasonal volume, partially offset by increases in diesel and gasoline costs by Petrobras in 1Q13.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s sales volume totaled 198 thousand tons, a 6% growth over 1Q12. In the domestic market, sales volume grew by 5% (7 thousand tons), mainly as a result of higher sales of glycols and specialties to the home and personal care segment. In the international market, sales volume grew by 9% (4 thousand tons), mainly due to the acquisition of the specialty chemicals plant in Uruguay, partially offset by lower sales of glycols. Compared with 4Q12, sales volume grew by 7% (13 thousand tons), mainly resulting from lower sales of glycols in 4Q12, due to the effect of the unscheduled stoppage at the Camaçari petrochemical complex during that quarter, caused by the energy blackout in the Northeastern region, and the acquisition of the specialty chemicals plant in Uruguay in November 2012. Oxiteno’s net sales and services totaled R$ 755 million in 1Q13, a 17% increase over 1Q12, due to the 6% growth in sales volume and a 13% weaker Real, partially offset by 3% lower average dollar prices. Compared with 4Q12, Oxiteno’s net sales and services were 1% lower, due to the 4% lower average prices in dollars and the 3% stronger Real, partially offset by the 7% increase in sales volume.

Ultracargo: In 1Q13, Ultracargo’s average storage increased by 11% compared to 1Q12, mainly due to the acquisition of Temmar and increased spot handling in the Suape terminal, partially offset by lower handling of ethanol in Santos. Compared with 4Q12, the average storage decreased by 2%, due to the seasonality between periods. Ultracargo’s net sales and services totaled R$ 76 million in 1Q13, up 12% over 1Q12, mainly derived from the increased average storage in the terminals. Compared with 4Q12, Ultracargo’s net sales and services were 3% lower due to the seasonality between periods.

Cost of products and services sold: Ultrapar’s cost of products and services sold totaled R$ 12,536 million in 1Q13, a 9% increase over 1Q12, due to the increased cost of products and services sold in Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultracargo. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar’s cost of products and services sold decreased by 5%, mainly due to the seasonality between periods.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s cost of products sold totaled R$ 788 million in 1Q13, a 1% reduction from 1Q12, mainly due to lower sales volume and a 5% reduction in operational workforce, partially offset by the effects of inflation on personnel costs. Compared with 4Q12, Ultragaz’s cost of products sold decreased by 5%, mainly due to the lower seasonal volume and the non-recurring costs related to the strike in LPG distributors in the state of São Paulo in 4Q12.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s cost of products sold totaled R$ 11,125 million in 1Q13, a 10% increase over 1Q12, due to increased sales volume and the cost increases by Petrobras (i) in diesel, in July 2012, January and March 2013, and (ii) in gasoline, in January 2013. Compared with 4Q12, Ipiranga’s cost of products sold decreased by 5%, mainly due to the lower sales volume, partially offset by the non-recurring PIS/Cofins tax credit in 4Q12 in the amount of R$ 18 million and increases in diesel and gasoline costs by Petrobras in 1Q13.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s cost of products sold in 1Q13 totaled R$ 600 million, a 14% growth over 1Q12, mainly due to the 13% weaker Real, the 6% higher sales volume and the increase in ethylene cost in dollar in the last 12 months. Compared with 4Q12, Oxiteno’s cost of products sold reduced by 2%, due to the 5% lower unit variable costs in dollar and the 3% stronger Real, partially offset by the 7% increase in sales volume.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s cost of services provided in 1Q13 was R$ 31 million, a 17% increase over 1Q12, mainly as a result of increased average storage, increased depreciation linked to recent capacity expansions and the acquisition of Temmar, and higher maintenance costs. Compared with 4Q12, Ultracargo’s cost of services provided decreased by 2%, mainly due to the lower seasonal volume handled.

Gross profit: The gross profit of Ultrapar amounted to R$ 1,064 million in 1Q13, up 18% over 1Q12, as a consequence of the growth in the gross profit of all of Ultrapar’s businesses. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar’s gross profit decreased by 4%, mainly as a result of the seasonality between periods.

Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses: Ultrapar’s selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 658 million in 1Q13, an increase of 15% over 1Q12. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 1%.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 98 million in 1Q13, up 1% over 1Q12, with the effects of inflation on personnel and freight expenses offset by the lower sales volume and initiatives to reduce expenses. Compared with 4Q12, Ultragaz's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased by 3%, mainly due to seasonal effects.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 434 million in 1Q13, a 14% growth over 1Q12, mainly due to (i) the effects of inflation on expenses, (ii) the expansion of the distribution network, (iii) higher sales volume and freight expenses, and (iv) higher advertising and marketing expenses, partially offset by the R$ 14 million expenses related to the return of the Ipiranga brand to the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil in 1Q12. Compared with 4Q12, Ipiranga's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 2%, mainly due to increased expenses with advertising and marketing, partially offset by the lower seasonal volume.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 106 million in 1Q13, up 26% over 1Q12, as a result of (i) the start-up of the company’s operations in the United States, (ii) the acquisition of the specialty chemicals plant in Uruguay, (iii) increased logistics expenses, resulting from higher sales volumes and higher unit expenses with national freight, and (iv) the effects of inflation on expenses. Compared with 4Q12, Oxiteno's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased by 2%.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 21 million in 1Q13, an increase of 24% over 1Q12, mainly due to the acquisition of Temmar and the higher depreciation resulting from recent capacity expansions. Compared with 4Q12, Ultracargo's selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased by 7%, mainly due to lower expenses with expansion projects during this quarter.

Depreciation and amortization: Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 1Q13 amounted to R$ 189 million, 18% higher than that in 1Q12, mainly as a result of increased investments made in the last 12 months, especially in Ipiranga, and the acquisitions of Temmar and the specialty chemicals plant in Uruguay. Compared with 4Q12, total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses increased by 3%.

Operating income: Ultrapar’s operating income amounted to R$ 426 million in 1Q13, up 27% over 1Q12, as a result of the increase in the operating income of Ultragaz, Ipiranga and Oxiteno. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar’s operating income decreased by 14%, mainly as a result of the seasonality between periods.

Financial result: Ultrapar reported R$ 61 million of net financial expenses in 1Q13, R$ 5 million lower than that in 1Q12, mainly due to the reduction of the interest rate (CDI), partially offset by the effects of exchange rate fluctuations in the periods. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar’s net financial expense increased by R$ 3 million. At the end of 1Q13, net debt totaled R$ 3,743 million, corresponding to 1.5 times EBITDA for the last 12 months, compared to the ratio of 1.6 times in 1Q12 and 1.3 times in 4Q12.

Income and social contribution taxes / Tax incentives: Ultrapar reported expenses with income and social contribution taxes, net of tax incentives, of R$ 117 million, compared with expenses of R$ 82 million in 1Q12, mainly as a result of an increase in income before income and social contribution taxes. Compared with 4Q12, the expenses with income and social contribution taxes, net of tax incentives, decreased by 10%, mainly as a result of a decrease in income before income and social contribution taxes.

Net income: Ultrapar’s consolidated net income in 1Q13 amounted to R$ 247 million, up 29% over 1Q12, mainly due to the EBITDA growth in all businesses. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar’s net income decreased by 20%, mainly due to the seasonal reduction of EBITDA in Ultrapar’s businesses.

EBITDA: Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 614 million in 1Q13, up 23% over 1Q12, as a result of the EBITDA growth in all businesses. Compared with 4Q12, Ultrapar’s EBITDA decreased by 10%, mainly due to lower seasonal volumes.

Ultragaz: Ultragaz’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 63 million in 1Q13, a 6% increase over 1Q12, mainly due to commercial and expense reduction initiatives implemented over the past few quarters. Compared with 4Q12, Ultragaz’s EBITDA increased by 17%, mainly due to the above mentioned initiatives and the non-recurring effects related to the strike in LPG distributors in the state of São Paulo in 4Q12, with an estimated impact of $ 5 million.

Ipiranga: Ipiranga’s EBITDA totaled R$ 432 million in 1Q13, up 28% over 1Q12, equivalent to a unit EBITDA margin of R$ 78/m³, mainly derived from (i) the effects of the increases in diesel and gasoline costs, (ii) increased sales volume, (iii) the improved sales mix, and (iv) non-recurring expenses of R$ 14 million related to the conversion of Texaco service stations into the Ipiranga brand in the Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil in 1Q12. Excluding these non-recurring expenses, Ipiranga’s EBITDA in 1Q13 increased by 23% over 1Q12. Compared with 4Q12, Ipiranga’s EBITDA decreased by 17%, mainly due to the 9% seasonally lower sales volume and the R$ 18 million non-recurring PIS/Cofins tax credit in 4Q12.

Oxiteno: Oxiteno’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 81 million in 1Q13, or US$ 204/ton, an increase of 21% over 1Q12, as a result of the 13% weaker Real and higher sales volume, partially offset by the increased cost of ethylene and by expenses related to the start-up of the company's operations in the United States and in Uruguay. Compared with 4Q12, Oxiteno’s EBITDA increased by 11%, mainly as a result of the increased sales volume and the effect of a non-scheduled stoppage at the Camaçari petrochemical complex in 4Q12, partially offset by the 3% stronger Real.

Ultracargo: Ultracargo’s EBITDA totaled R$ 36 million in 1Q13, up 12% over 1Q12, mainly due to the acquisition of Temmar, partially offset by lower ethanol handling in Santos and higher maintenance expenses. Compared with 4Q12, Ultracargo’s EBITDA grew by 1%, mainly as a result of lower expenses with expansion projects in 1Q13.

The EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) presented in this document represents the net income before (i) income and social contribution taxes, (ii) net financial expense (income) and (iii) depreciation and amortization, presented in accordance with ICVM 527. The purpose of including EBITDA information is to provide a measure used by the management for internal assessment of our operating results, and because a portion of our employee profit sharing plan is linked directly or indirectly to EBITDA performance. It is also a financial indicator widely used by investors and analysts to measure our ability to generate cash from operations and our operating performance. We also calculate EBITDA in connection with covenants related to some of our financing, as described in Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements. We believe EBITDA allows a better understanding not only of our financial performance but also of our capacity of meeting the payment of interest and principal from our debt and of obtaining resources for our investments and working capital. Our definition of EBITDA may differ from, and, therefore, may not be comparable with similarly titled measures used by other companies, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because EBITDA excludes net financial expense (income), income and social contribution taxes and depreciation and amortization, it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or changes in income and social contribution taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS, and it 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 expense (income), income and social contribution taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Considerations on the financial and operational information

The financial information presented in this document has been prepared according to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial information of Ultrapar corresponds to the company’s consolidated information. 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.

On October 4th, 2012, CVM issued the Instruction No. 527 (“ICVM 527”), which governs the disclosure by listed companies in Brazil of EBITDA — Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, and EBIT — Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, for the results disclosed from January 1st, 2013 onwards.
 
From 2013 onwards, the adoption of IFRS 11 and IAS (International Accounting Standard) 19 became mandatory in the presentation of financial statements of publicly-traded companies, resulting in the following changes: (i) results from joint ventures (“JV”) are no longer proportionally consolidated and will be recognized through the equity method and (ii) actuarial gains and losses from post-employment benefits cease to affect the operating results and start to be recognized under shareholders’ equity.
 
In order to provide comparability of financial statements with periods prior to the adoption of the aforementioned accounting changes, the figures presented in this document relating to 2012 have been updated in accordance with ICVM 527, IFRS 11 and IAS 19. EBITDA according to ICVM 527, IFRS 11 and IAS 19 and net earnings according to IAS 19 differ from EBITDA and net earnings previously reported by the company, as shown below:

Executive summary of the results

At the end of March 2013, inflation rate exceeded, for the first time since November 2011, the 6.5% target ceiling set by the Central Bank, with the Brazilian Consumer Price Index (IPCA) for the last twelve months reaching 6.6%. Despite inflationary pressures, the Central Bank did not change the base interest rate of the economy during the first quarter, rate that remained at 7.25% p.a., maintaining the perspective of incentivizing economic growth. In the automotive sector, the number of vehicles licensed in 1Q13 totaled 789 thousand, 2% above 1Q12, allowing the fleet to continue growing at approximately 7% on an annual basis. The economic instability in the international market helped keeping a weaker Real against the dollar during 1Q13 compared to 2012, with an average exchange rate of R$ 2.00/US$ in the quarter.
 
In 1Q13, Ultragaz reported a reduction of 2% in sales volume in relation to 1Q12, mainly due to the lower number of working days in 1Q13, with an estimated reducing effect of 4% on sales volume. In 1Q13, Ultragaz’s EBITDA increased by 6% over 1Q12, mainly due to commercial and expense reduction initiatives implemented over the last quarters.
 
Ipiranga’s sales volume grew by 2% in 1Q13 in relation to 1Q12, or 6% on a comparable basis of working days, due to the continued growth of the light vehicle fleet and investments in network expansion. Ipiranga’s EBITDA reached R$ 432 million in 1Q13, a growth of 23% compared to the 1Q12 EBITDA (excluding non-recurring expenses), mainly due to (i) the evolution of diesel and gasoline costs, (ii) the growth in sales volume and (iii) the increased share of fuels for light vehicles and diesel sold through the reseller segment.
 
Oxiteno's sales volume totaled 198 thousand tons, a 6% growth compared with 1Q12, mainly due to increased sales of specialties for the home and personal care segment and to the acquisition of the specialty chemicals plant in Uruguay in November 2012. Oxiteno's EBITDA in 1Q13 reached R$ 81 million, a 21% increase over 1Q12, mainly as a result of the 13% weaker Real and higher sales volume.
 
In 1Q13, the average storage of Ultracargo increased by 11% compared to 1Q12, mainly derived from the acquisition of Temmar, a terminal in the port of Itaqui, integrated since August, and from increased spot volumes in the Suape terminal, partially offset by lower handling of ethanol in Santos. Ultracargo's EBITDA totaled R$ 36 million in 1Q13, up 12% over 1Q12, mainly due to the acquisition of Temmar, partially offset by the lower handling of ethanol in Santos.
 
Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA totaled R$ 614 million in 1Q13, a 23% increase over 1Q12, due to the EBITDA growth in all businesses. Ultrapar’s net earnings in 1Q13 amounted to R$ 247 million, an increase of 29% over 1Q12, mainly as a resut of the EBITDA growth.
 
Operational performance

Ultragaz – In 1Q13, Ultragaz’s sales volume reached 396 thousand tons, a 2% reduction from 1Q12, mainly due to the lower number of working days in 1Q13, with an estimated reducing effect of 4% on sales volume, and lower consumption by large customers (mainly composed of industrial clients), partially offset by the growth of the small bulk segment (composed of residential, commercial and small industrial clients). Compared with 4Q12, sales volume decreased by 5%, mainly due to the seasonality between periods.

Outlook

Even in such environment, the positioning of Ultrapar in resilient businesses and the investments made to increase its operating scale and in the differentiation of its products and services allow it to maintain its growth trajectory, thus reaffirming the success of its strategy. Ipiranga will continue to invest in the expansion of its distribution network and logistics infrastructure, leveraging the benefits from the growth of the vehicle fleet in Brazil and the growth of the Brazilian economy. Additionally, it will intensify its differentiation initiatives, based on increasing the offer of products, services and convenience to its consumers. Oxiteno will continue capturing benefits from the completion and maturity of investments in Brazil, in addition to focusing on its international expansion plan, with investments underway in the United States and in Mexico, and the implementation of the business plan for the acquisition in Uruguay. Ultracargo will focus on capturing the benefits from completing a cycle of capacity expansions at its terminals, aiming at meeting the growing demand for liquid bulk storage in Brazil, and from the acquisition of the terminal in the port of Itaqui, which strengthened its operating scale. At Ultragaz, the investments made and the focus on managing costs and expenses will continue to contribute to earnings recovery. In addition, aiming at continued growth and value creation, Ultrapar will remain attentive to good opportunities of acquisition and new investments.
