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 September 30, 2015, which comprises the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 and the related statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods then ended and changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

The Company’s Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1)—Interim Financial Information and 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 and Exchange 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 interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the interim financial information referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) and international standard IAS 34, applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR), and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the CVM.

Other matters

Statements of value added

We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated statements of value added (“DVA”) for the nine—month period ended September 30, 2015, 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—IFRSs, which do not require the presentation of the DVA. 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.

Notes to the Individual and Consolidated Interim Financial Information

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

1. Operations

Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Ultrapar” or “Company”), is a publicly-traded company headquartered at the Brigadeiro Luis Antônio Avenue, 1343 in the city of Săo Paulo – SP, Brazil.

The Company engages in the investment of its own capital in services, commercial, and industrial activities, by the subscription or acquisition of shares of other companies. Through its subsidiaries, it operates in the segments of liquefied petroleum gas—LPG distribution (“Ultragaz”), fuel distribution and related businesses (“Ipiranga”), production and marketing of chemicals (“Oxiteno”), and storage services for liquid bulk (“Ultracargo”), and, as from January 31, 2014, trading of pharmaceutical, hygiene, beauty, and skincare products, through Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”) – see Note 3.a).

2. Presentation of Interim Financial Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s individual and consolidated interim financial information were prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), and in accordance with CPC 21 (R1)—Interim Financial Reporting issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and presented in accordance with standards established by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

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 the individual and consolidated interim financial information.

a. Recognition of Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of sales returns, discounts, and other deductions, if applicable.

Revenue from sales of fuels and lubricants is recognized when the products are delivered to gas stations and to large consumers. Revenue from sales of LPG is recognized when the products are delivered to customers at home, to independent dealers and to industrial and commercial customers. Revenue from sales of pharmaceuticals is recognized when the products are delivered to end user customers in own drugstores and when the products are delivered to independent resellers. Revenue from sales of chemical products is recognized when the products are delivered to industrial customers, depending of the freight mode of delivery. The revenue provided from storage services is recognized through the performance of services. Costs of products sold and services provided include goods (mainly fuels, lubricants, LPG, and pharmaceutical products), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage, and filling costs.

b. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Includes cash, banks deposits, and short-term, highly-liquid investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. See Note 4 for further details on cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries.

c. Financial Assets

In accordance with IAS 32, IAS 39, and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) 7 (CPC 38, 39 and 40 (R1)), the financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are classified in accordance with the following categories:

•

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

Ultrapar Participações S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

•

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 cumulative other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity portion of the balance sheet. 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 interest, using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables include cash and banks, trade receivables, dividends receivable, and other trade receivables.

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

•

Hedge accounting—fair value hedge: derivative financial instruments 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. 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.

•

Hedge accounting—cash flow hedge: derivative financial instruments used to hedge the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a risk associated with an asset or liability or highly probable transaction that may affect the income statements. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective relating to the effects of exchange rate effect, is recognized directly in equity in accumulated other comprehensive income as “Valuation adjustments” while the ineffective portion is recognized in profit or loss. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of this hedge that had been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss in the same line of the income statement that the hedged item is recognized. The hedge accounting shall be discontinued when (i) the Company cancels the hedging relationship; (ii) the hedging instrument expires; and (iii) the hedging instrument no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. When hedge accounting is discontinued, gains and losses recognized in other comprehensive income in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the period which the hedged item is recognized in profit or loss. If the transaction hedged is canceled or is not expected to occur, the cumulative gains and losses in other comprehensive income in equity shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

•

Hedge accounting—hedge of net investments in foreign operation: derivative financial instruments used to hedge exposure on net investments in foreign subsidiaries due to the fact that the local functional currency is different from the functional currency of the Company. The portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be effective, referring to the exchange rate effect, is recognized directly in equity in accumulated other comprehensive income as cumulative translation adjustments, while the ineffective portion and the operating costs are recognized in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be recognized in income upon disposal of the foreign operation.

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

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

d. Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at the amount invoiced, adjusted to present value if applicable, and includes 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 Notes 5 and 22—Customer Credit Risk).

e. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost or net realizable value (see Note 6). 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 and operations teams.

f. Investments

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

A subsidiary is an investment in which the investor is exposed to, entitled to variable returns on investment and has the ability to interfere in its financial and operational activities. Usually the equity interest in a subsidiary is more than 50%.

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the individual and consolidated interim financial information (see Note 11).

An associate is an investment, in which an investor has significant influence, that is, has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the investee but without exercise control.

A joint venture is an investment in which the shareholders have the right to net assets on behalf of a joint control. Joint control is the agreement which establish that decisions about the relevant activities of the investee require the consent from the parties that share control.

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 Notes 2.m and 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 lower of the straight-line method based on the useful lives applicable to each group of assets or the contract terms, 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.i).

•

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 expense 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 assets 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 business segments, which represent the lower level that goodwill is monitored by the Company 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 other intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, except for goodwill, the “am/pm” brand and “Extrafarma” 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, finance leases and hedging instruments. Financial liabilities are classified as “financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” or “financial liabilities at amortized cost”. The financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss refer to derivative financial instruments, subscription warrants, 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 amortized 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.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

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, are allocated to the instrument and amortized to profit or loss over its term, using the effective interest rate method (see Note 14.j). Transaction costs incurred and directly attributable to the issue of shares or other equity instruments are recognized in equity and are not amortized.

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 reporting period. The current rates in Brazil are 25% for income tax and 9% for social contribution on net income tax. For further details about recognition and realization of IRPJ and CSLL, see Note 9.

m. Provision for Asset 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 using the National Consumer Price Index—IPCA 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 and change in the estimated costs are recognized in income when they become known.

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 statement of shareholders’ equity. Past service cost is recognized in 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 is 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 statement of shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments and will be recognized in profit or loss if these investments are disposed of. The balance in cumulative other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments, net of the exchange rate effect of hedge of net investments, as of September 30, 2015 was a gain of R$ 165,715 (gain of R$ 43,192 as of December 31, 2014).

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


Subsidiary	Functional currency	Location

Oxiteno México S.A. de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico

Oxiteno Servicios Corporativos S.A. de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico

Oxiteno Servicios Industriales de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico

Oxiteno USA LLC	U.S. Dollar	United States

Oxiteno Andina, C.A.	Bolivar	Venezuela

Oxiteno Uruguay S.A.	U.S. Dollar	Uruguay

The subsidiary Oxiteno Uruguay S.A. (“Oxiteno Uruguay”) determined its functional currency as the U.S. dollar (“US$”), as its sales, purchases of goods, and financing activities are performed substantially in this currency.

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

On February 10, 2015, the Venezuelan Central Bank issued Foreign Exchange Regulation No. 33 altering the Venezuelan foreign exchange markets and regulating the legal types recognized of exchange rates:

a) Oficial: Bolivar (“VEF”) is traded at an exchange rate of 6.30 VEF/US$. This rate is applied to importation of essential goods (medicines and food) channeled through CENCOEX—Centro Nacional de Comercio Exterior en Venezuela;

b) SICAD—Sistema Complementario de Administración de Divisas: Bolivar is traded at exchange rate of 13.50VEF/US$, last quotation of September 1, 2015. As the Foreign Exchange Regulation No. 25, only some transactions are allowed, for example, imports of goods, payment of dividends, among other operations.

c) SICAD-II—this foreign exchange market was eliminated with Foreign Exchange Regulation No. 33. The last quotation was 52.1013 VEF/US$; and

d) SIMADI—Sistema Marginal de Divisas: Bolivar is traded at variable exchange rate of approximately 199 VEF/US$ on September 30, 2015. This rate is applied to through of the bank market, retail market and securities market.

For the consolidation of the Oxiteno Andina in the Company, the amounts in Bolivar have been translated to the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate of SICAD and subsequently translated into Brazilian Reais using the official exchange rate published by the Central Bank of Brazil. In management’s judgment, the use of SICAD is the most suitable for conversion, since the exchange rate is the most likely rate for the payment of dividends and return of capital.

Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have administrative autonomy, are considered an extension 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 gain recognized in income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 amounted to R$ 7,349 (R$ 716 gain for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014).

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, the Company’s 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 2.c, 2.k, 4, 14 and 22), the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts (Notes 2.d, 5 and 22), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Notes 2.e and 6), the determination of deferred income taxes amounts (Notes 2.l and 9), the determination of control in subsidiaries (Notes 2.f, 2.r, 3 and 11.a), the determination of joint control in joint venture (Notes 2.f, 11.a and 11.b), the determination of significant influence in associates (Notes 2.f and 11.c), the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment (Notes 2.g and 12), the useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill (Notes 2.i and 13), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Notes 2.m and 18), provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks (Notes 2.n and 23 items a,b,c,d), estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Notes 2.o and 24.b) and the determination of fair value of subscription warrants – indemnification (Notes 3.a and 22). 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 any 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 (cash generating units -“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.

The fair value less costs of disposal is determined by the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, net of costs of removing the asset, and direct incremental costs to bring an asset into condition for its sale, legal costs, and taxes.

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 (see Note 13.i).

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). Because recovery of these credits occurs over a 48 month period, the present value adjustment reflects, in the interim financial information, the time value of the ICMS credits to be recovered. The balance of these adjustment to present value totaled R$ 140 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 279 as of December 31, 2014).

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. Business Combination

A business combination is accounted for under the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured by the consideration transferred and to be transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. In the business combination, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued in order to classify and allocate them accordingly to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions on the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest in the acquired is measured at fair value or based on its interest in identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred and to be transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired (identifiable assets and liabilities assumed, net). After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the Company’s business segment. When the consideration transferred and to be transferred is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, the gain is recognized directly in the income statement. Costs related to the acquisition are recorded in the income statement when incurred.

w. 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, which does not require the presentation of DVA.

x. Cash Flow

The Company and its subsidiaries prepared its individual and consolidated cash flow statements, in accordance with IAS 7 (CPC 03)—Cash Flow Statement. The Company and its subsidiaries present the interest paid on loans and debentures in financing activities.

y. Adoption of the Pronouncements Issued by CPC and IFRS

The following standards, amendments, and interpretations to IFRS were issued by the IASB but are not yet effective and were not adopted as of September 30, 2015:


	Effective date
• IFRS 9: Financial instrument classification and measurement: includes new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, derecognition requirements, new impairment methodology for financial instruments, and new hedge accounting guidance.		2018
• IFRS 15—Revenue from contracts with customers: establish the principles of nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from a contract with a customer.		2017	(*)

(*)	On September 11, 2015, the effective date of IFRS 15 was changed to January 1, 2018.

CPC has not yet issued pronouncements equivalent to IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, but is expected to do so before the date they become effective. The adoption of IFRS pronouncements is subject to prior approval by the CVM. The Company is assessing the potential effects of these standards.

z. Authorization for Issuance of the Interim Financial Information

These interim financial information were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 4, 2015.

3. Principles of Consolidation and Investments in Subsidiaries

The consolidated interim financial information were prepared following the basic principles of consolidation established by IFRS 10 (CPC 36 (R3)). Investments of one company in another, balances of asset and liability accounts, and revenues and expenses were eliminated, as well as the effects of transactions conducted between the companies. Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented within consolidated shareholders’ equity and net income.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the parent company obtains direct or indirect control over a company and ceases when the parent company loses control of a company. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired are included in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income from the date the parent company gains the control. Income and expenses of a subsidiary, in which the parent company loses control, are included in the consolidated income statement and other comprehensive income until the date the parent company loses control.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the interim financial information of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company’s accounting policies.

a) Business Combination – Acquisition of Extrafarma

On January 31, 2014 Extrafarma became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultrapar and the former shareholders of Extrafarma became long-term shareholders of Ultrapar (see Note 8.b). As a result, 7 subscription warrants – indemnification were issued that, if exercised, would lead to the issuance of 3,205,622 shares in 2020. The subscription warrants – indemnification are adjusted according to the changes in the amounts of provision for tax, civil, and labor risks and contingent liabilities related to the period previous to January 31, 2014. The subscription warrants – indemnification fair value are measured based on the share price of Ultrapar (UGPA3) and are reduced by the dividend yield until 2020, since the exercise is possible only from 2020, and they are not entitled to dividends until that date. On the reporting date, the subscription warrants – indemnification were represented by 2,187,512 shares and totaled R$ 133,402 (as of December 31, 2014 they were represented by 2,002,773 shares and totaled R$ 92,072).

Additionally, the Company had a receivable from former shareholders in the amount of R$ 12,222 as of December 31, 2014 due to the adjustment of working capital and net debt, recognized in “Other receivables” in current assets. On June 22, 2015 the agreement on the final adjustment of working capital and net debt was formalized between the parties in the amount of R$ 26,006. The Company recognized the amount of R$ 13,784 in the second quarter of 2015 in “other operating income” (see Note 27) as a result of the difference between the final working capital and net debt adjustment and the amount recognized on December 31, 2014. The amount of R$ 26,006 was received by the Company in the third quarter of 2015.

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. 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 and the amounts are amortized between five and ten years from the grant date.

(i)	Nondeductible expenses consist of certain expenses that cannot be deducted for tax purposes under applicable tax legislation, such as expenses with fines, donations, gifts, losses of assets, negative effects of foreign subsidiaries and certain provisions;

(ii)	Nontaxable revenues consist of certain gains and income that are not taxable under applicable tax legislation, such as the reimbursement of taxes and the reversal of certain provisions;

(iii)

Brazilian tax law allows for an alternative method of taxation for companies that generated gross revenues of up to R$ 78 million in their previous fiscal year. Certain subsidiaries of the Company adopted this alternative form of taxation, whereby income and social contribution taxes are calculated on a basis equal to 32% of operating revenues, as opposed to being calculated based on the effective taxable income of these subsidiaries. The adjustment to estimated income represents the difference between the taxation under this alternative method and the income and social contribution taxes that would have been paid based on the effective statutory rate applied to the taxable income of these subsidiaries.

Some subsidiaries of Oxiteno issue 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$ 27,568 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 26,684 as of December 31, 2014), with maturities of less than 213 days. As of September 30, 2015, the subsidiaries did not have losses in connection with these collaterals. The fair value of collaterals recognized in current liabilities as other payables is R$ 664 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 646 as of December 31, 2014), 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. Until September 30, 2015, there was no event of default of the debts of the Company and its subsidiaries.

		948,421		1,279,502

The Company’s subsidiaries acquire oil based fuels and LPG from Petróleo Brasileiro S.A.—Petrobras and its subsidiaries and ethylene from Braskem S.A. These suppliers control almost all of the markets for these products in Brazil. The Company’s subsidiaries depend on the ability of those suppliers to deliver products in a timely manner and at acceptable prices and terms. The loss of any major supplier or a significant reduction in product availability from these suppliers could have a significant adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that their relationship with suppliers is satisfactory.

22. 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. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

•

Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments, and risks is the responsibility of the financial area, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the tax and accounting departments.

•

Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines, and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, which is composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fundraising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.

•

Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Ultrapar.

•

Continuous improvement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the financial area.

•

The internal audit department audits the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

Currency Risk

Most transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for risk management is the 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 and net investments in foreign operations. Hedge is used in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on the Company´s income 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 currencies to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated below, translated into Brazilian Reais as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

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

The Company does not actively manage risks associated with changes in the level of interest rates and attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates. As of September 30, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries had interest rate derivative financial instruments linked to domestic loans, in which the Company swapped the fixed interest rate of certain debts to floating interest rates (CDI).

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities exposed to floating interest rates as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

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

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 their credit rating and are additionally mitigated by the 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) financing. 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, through joint ventures, or through 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$ 2,613.9 million, including estimated interests on loans. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2015 totals R$ 1,418 million, and until September 30,2015 the amount of R$ 830 million had been realized. As of September 30, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 3,682.2 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 September 30, 2015 to be settled by the Company and its subsidiaries, listed by maturity. The amounts disclosed in this table are the contractual undiscounted cash outflows, and, therefore, these amounts may be different from the amounts disclosed on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2015.

To calculate the estimated interest on loans some macroeconomic assumptions were used, including averaging for the period the following: (i) CDI of 13.2 % p.a., (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 4.04in 2015, R$ 4.28 in 2016, R$ 4.67 in 2017, R$ 5.17 in 2018, and R$ 5.73 in 2019, (iii) TJLP of 6.5% p.a. and (iv) IGP-M of 8.5% in 2015, 7.1% in 2016, 6.1% in 2017, 6.4% in 2018, and 6.4% in 2019 (source: BM&FBOVESPA, Bulletin Focus and financial institutions).

⁽²⁾	Includes estimated interest payments on short-term and long-term loans until the payment date.

⁽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 on September 30, 2015 and on the futures curve of LIBOR (ICE—IntercontinentalExchange) on September 30, 2015. In the table above, only the hedging instruments with negative results 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, 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 invested capital by implementing 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 a review is conducted of any 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 September 30, 2015 are described below, according to their category, risk, and hedging 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 a guarantee to a loan in the U.S. dollar into a financial investment linked to the U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 601.3 million in notional amount with a liability position, on average of 99.6 % of CDI, of which US$ 251.3million, on average, had an asset position at US$ + 1.82 % p.a. and US$ 350.0 million had an asset position at US$ + LIBOR + 0.76% p.a.

b.1—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 during their operating cycles. As of September 30, 2015, these swap contracts totaled US$ 10.3 million and, on average, had an asset position at 79.0% of CDI and a liability position at US$ + 0.0% p.a.

b.2—Hedging against foreign exchange exposure of net investments in foreign operations—The purpose of these contracts is to minimize the effect of exchange variation of investments in foreign subsidiaries with functional currencies different from the functional currency of the Company, turning them into investments in Brazilian Reais. As of September 30, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries had outstanding swap contracts totaling US$ 64.0 million in notional amount with an asset position at 90.5% of CDI and a liability position of 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. As of September 30, 2015 these swap contracts totaled R$ 27.5 million of notional amount corresponding to principal amount of related debt, and on average had an asset position at 8.0% p.a. and a liability position at 88.8% of CDI.

d – Hedging against the foreign currency exchange exposure of liabilities—The purpose of these contracts is offset the effect of exchange variation of debts or firm commitments in euro, turning them into debts or firm commitments in Reais indexed to the CDI. As of September 30, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries had no swap contracts.

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, which are based on the market value of financing contracted in Brazilian Reais and U.S. dollars.

On September 30, 2015, the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments designated as fair value hedge totaled US$ 440.0 million. As of September 30, 2015, a gain of R$ 260.0 million related to the result of hedging instruments, a gain of R$ 91.0 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt, and a loss of R$ 426.2 million related to the financial expense of the debt were recognized in the income statements, transforming the average effective cost of the operation into 101.9% of CDI (see Note 14.c.1).

On September 30, 2015, the notional amount of exchange rate hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges totaled US$ 70.4 million and a gain for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015 of R$ 145.8 million was recognized through the income statement.

On September 30, 2015, the notional amount of exchange rate hedging instruments designated as hedges of net investment in a foreign operation totaled US$ 64.0 million relating to the portion of investments in entities which have functional currency different from the Real. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, a loss of R$ 47.4 million was recorded. The exchange rate on investment and the hedging instrument effects were offset in equity.

On September 30, 2015, the notional amount of interest rate hedging instruments totaled R$ 27.5 million, referring to the principal of the pre-fixed loans in Brazilian Reais. As of September 30, 2015, a gain of R$ 1.9 million related to the result of hedging instruments, a loss of R$ 0.5 million related to the fair value adjustment of debt, and a loss of R$ 24.5 million related to the accrued interest rate of the debt were recognized in the income statement, transforming the average effective cost of the operations into 88.8% of CDI.

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 value of cash and bank deposit 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 subscription warrants – indemnification were measured based on the share price of Ultrapar (UGPA3) at the reporting date.

The fair value of other financial investments and financing was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for mark-to-market reporting, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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 realizable 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, (iii) financial investments that are classified as available for sale, which are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (see Note 4), (iv) loans and financing measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 14), (v) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 14.k), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and (vi) subscription warrants – indemnification, 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

The financial instruments 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 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Refers to subscription warrants issued by the Company in the Extrafarma acquisition that, if exercised, may lead to the issuance of up to 3,205,622 shares in the future, related to subscription warrants – indemnification. The subscription warrants are measured using the price of the shares issued by Ultrapar (UGPA3) on the reporting date and are adjusted to the Company’s dividend yield, since the exercise is only possible starting in 2020 onwards and are not entitled to dividends. The number of shares of subscription warrants – indemnification is also adjusted according to the changes in the amounts of provision for tax, civil, and labor risks and contingent liabilities related to the period prior to January 31, 2014. For further information of the Extrafarma acquisition, see Note 3.a) to the financial statements of the Company filed with the CVM on February 25, 2015.

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 September 30, 2015. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 5.37 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the likely scenario, according to the risk to which the hedged item is exposed.

Notes to the Interim Financial Information

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of September 30, 2015, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Brazilian Reais and the original balance in Brazilian Reais as of September 30, 2015 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:


	Risk	Scenario I (likely)			Scenario II			Scenario III
Currency swaps receivable in U.S. dollars
(1) U.S. Dollar / Real swaps	Dollar		497,969			1,214,508			1,931,046
(2) Debts/firm commitments in dollars	appreciation		(497,958	)		(1,214,476	)		(1,930,994	)

(4) Gross margin of Oxiteno	devaluation		4,176			(70,674	)		(145,525	)

(3)+(4)	Net effect		—			—			—

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Brazilian Reais, the Company used the futures curve of the DI x Pre contract on BM&FBOVESPA as of September 30, 2015 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 results are shown in the table below:


	Risk	Scenario I (likely)		Scenario II			Scenario III

Some of the tax provisions above involve escrow deposits in the amount of R$ 536,948 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 505,650 as of December 31, 2014).

b.	*Tax Matters*

Provisions

(i)

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 made escrow deposits for these debits which amounted to R$ 413,734 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 388,675 as of December 31, 2014). On July 18, 2014, a second instance unfavorable decision was published and the subsidiaries suspended the escrow deposits, and started to pay income taxes from that date. To revert the court decision, the subsidiaries presented a writ of prevention which was dismissed on December 30, 2014, and the Company appealed this decision on February 3, 2015. Appeals were also presented to the respective higher courts (STJ and STF) whose trials are pending.

(i)

The subsidiary IPP has a Declaratory Action discussing the constitutionality of Law No. 9316/1996, that denied the deduction of CSLL from the IRPJ tax basis. This claim was denied on 1st and 2nd instances, and the appeal presented to the Supreme Court awaits trial. The subsidiary has provision of R$ 21,503 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 20,706 as of December 31, 2014) for this discussion.

(ii)

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Tequimar, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda., Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”), IPP and Extrafarma filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from their PIS and COFINS tax bases. Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP paid the amounts into escrow deposits, and recognized a corresponding provision in the amount of R$ 97,905 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 92,457 as of December 31, 2014).

Contingent Liabilities

The main tax claims of subsidiary IPP and its subsidiaries that are 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 ICMS, and mainly, 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. The Company has determined the anticipation of financial subsidy by the distributors to the mill owners and their subsequent reimbursement by the DNC (current National Oil Agency) as R$ 117,249 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 116,480 as of December 31, 2014), (b) alleged undue ICMS credits for which the tax authorities understand that there was no proof of origin for R$ 41,003 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 36,370 as of December 31, 2014), (c) assessments for alleged non-payment of ICMS totaling R$ 55,029 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 52,011 as of December 31, 2014), (d) assessment issued in Ourinhos/SP in connection with the return of ethanol loans made with deferred tax, in the amount of R$ 37,071 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 45,256 as of December 31, 2014), (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 (the Brazilian Federal Court of Justice), totaling R$ 18,243 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 17,806 as of December 31, 2014), (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 a defect in the document of the seller, as long as it is confirmed that the transaction occurred, for R$ 30,417 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 28,811 as of December 31, 2014); (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, as of R$ 72,366 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 60,412 as of December 31, 2014), (h) infraction relating to ICMS credits due to alleged non-compliance with legal formalities, for R$ 43,043 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 40,224 as of December 31, 2014) 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, in the amount of R$ 45,909 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 36,396 as of December 31, 2014); (j) assessments that consider various possible breaches of auxiliary obligations, among them the alleged lack of issuance of invoices, the alleged failure of delivery, or delivery with errors of informative reports to the tax authorities, errors in the filling of DANFE—Auxiliary Document Electronic Invoice, among others, totaling R$ 10,474 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 8,173 as of December 31, 2014); and (k) infraction notice for non-payment of ICMS related to the acquisition of basic lubricating oil, whose remittance was deferred to the time of the subsequent industrialized output relating to interstate transactions (covered by the constitutional non-incidence—article 155, X, ‘b’ of the Federal Constitution), totaling R$ 12,269 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 11,579 as of December 31, 2014).

The subsidiary IPP has assessments invalidating the offset of excise tax (“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 classified as a possible risk of loss, as of September 30, 2015, is R$ 147,022 (R$ 140,566 as of December 31, 2014).

The subsidiary Extrafarma was assessed by the State Treasury of Pará mainly due to an alleged uncollected special anticipated ICMS due on state operations of acquisition of goods. The amount involved of R$ 51,656, was not accrued given that the chances of loss were assessed as possible. This tax assessment is being defended by the former shareholders of Extrafarma and, in the case of a loss, Ultrapar will be indemnified through the subscription warrants—indemnification (see Note 3.a).

Contingent Assets

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$ 36,568, net of attorney’s fees.

c.	*Civil, Environmental and Regulatory Claims*

Provisions

iii)

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 and regulatory issues in the amount of R$ 58,234 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 58,336 as of December 31, 2014).

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 and imposed 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 recognize a provision for this contingency.

As a result of the fire on April 2^nd, 2015 at the Santos Terminal of the subsidiary Tequimar, CETESB—Environmental Company of the State of São Paulo charged a fine of R$ 22,500, due to the environmental and urban impacts allegedly caused by the incident. Tequimar filed before such Environmental Agency its refutation under the first administrative jurisdiction, in which, among other things, it claimed the inapplicability of federal legislation due to the existence of state legislation that not only regulate the issue but also may cause the fine reduction. It also denied the unlawful conduct by Tequimar. The legal department of the Company evaluates the chance of loss of such assessment as possible. For more information see Note 31.

d.	*Labor Matters*

Provisions

iv)	The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions of R$ 68,956 as of September 30, 2015 (R$ 71,516 as of December 31, 2014) 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 (Sindiquĺmica), 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 Sindiquĺmica, requiring the recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such fourth section. The decisions rendered on the individual claims which were favorable to the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA are final and unappealable. The collective labor dispute remains pending trial by STF. In 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquĺmica and reported the fact in the collective labor dispute. In October 2015, Sindiquĺmica filed enforcement lawsuits against all Camaçari Petrochemical Complex companies that have not yet made settlements, including Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA. Based on the opinion of their legal advisors and the favorable outcome in the individuals 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 September 30, 2015.

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings of tax, civil, environmental, regulatory, and labor nature, which are individually less relevant, and were estimated by their legal counsel as having possible and/or remote risks (proceedings whose chance of loss is 50% or less). A such, 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		100,000		2016
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 September 30, 2015, these rates were R$ 6.99 per ton for Aratu and R$ 2.90 per ton for Suape. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement required since the beginning of the contractual agreements.

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.

The Company maintains liability insurance policies for directors and executive officers (D&O) to indemnify the members of the Board of Directors, fiscal council and executive officers of Ultrapar and its subsidiaries (“Insured”) in the total amount of US$ 50 million, which cover any of the Insured liabilities resulting from wrongful acts, including any act or omission committed or attempted, except if the act, omission or the claim is consequence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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

The coverage and limit of the insurance policies maintained are based on a careful study of risks and losses conducted by independent insurance advisors. 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.

24	Employee Benefits and Private Pension Plan (Consolidated)

a.	*ULTRAPREV- Associaçăo 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 the Company and each of its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev—Associaçăo 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. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015, the Company and its subsidiaries contributed R$ 16,353 (R$ 14,633 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014) to Ultraprev, which is recognized as expense in the income statement.

31	Ultracargo – Fire accident in Santos

On April 2, 2015, part of the storage facilities operated by Ultracargo in Santos, in the State of São Paulo, endured a nine-day fire that spread to six ethanol and gasoline tanks. The six tanks represented 4% of Ultracargo’s overall capacity in Brazil as of December 31, 2014. There were no casualties and the cause of such accident and its impacts are still being investigated, including the extent of operational losses, damage to assets, potential environmental and other liabilities and reputational harm. The Company maintains insurance policies to cover certain risks to which the subsidiaries are exposed (see Note 23.f).

On April 9, 2015, the Santos municipal government suspended Ultracargo’s activities in that city. Ultracargo’s operations in Santos comprise two separate areas. On April 27, 2015, the authorization granted by the municipal government to Ultracargo to resume operations in the area not affected by the accident was published in the Santos Official Gazette (Diário Oficial de Santos). The still suspended operations correspond to 185 thousand cubic meters capacity, or 22.5% of Ultracargo’s overall capacity in Brazil.

Experts of the Criminalistics Institute are still working on the investigation to discover the causes of the incident. Ultracargo was granted with the required authorizations to perform the first stage of the decommissioning plan of the area, which consists of the removal, transfer and disposal of the products and waste. This stage will be followed by the execution of the second stage of the work, which consists of the removal of the equipment and the structures of the terminal affected by the fire, in order to resume the operations in the remaining unavailable area. The first stage was initiated in July and is still in progress.

Considerations on the financial and operational information

Standards and criteria adopted in preparing the 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 information of Ipiranga, Oxiteno, Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Extrafarma is reported without elimination of intercompany transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to the consolidated information of Ultrapar. In addition, the financial and operational information presented in this document is subject to rounding off and, consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables and charts may differ from the direct sum of the amounts that precede them.

In September 2013, Ultrapar entered into an association agreement with Extrafarma. The transaction was closed on January 31, 2014 upon the approval of the association by the Extraordinary General Meetings of Ultrapar and Extrafarma. Extrafarma’s results were consolidated in Ultrapar’s financial statements as from February 1, 2014. Consequently, Ultrapar’s financial statements for the periods prior to February 1, 2014 do not include Extrafarma’s results and its operational data included in this release refer, for the first nine months of 2014, exclusively to the months from February to September 2014. As a consequence of the closing of the transaction, 12,021,100 new common, nominative book-entry shares with no par value of Ultrapar were issued, which corresponded to R$ 141.9 million of capital increase and R$ 498.8 million of increase in capital reserve, totaling an increase in equity of R$ 640.7 million. In addition, Ultrapar issued subscription warrants that, if exercised, would lead to the issuance of up to 4,007,031 shares in the future, broken down into 801,409 shares related to subscription warrants – working capital and 3,205,622 shares related to subscription warrants – indemnification. On June 30, 2014, in a preliminary assessment of the working capital and indebtedness adjustments the company identified that the subscription warrants – working capital shall not be exercised by the former shareholders of Extrafarma. Accordingly, the company reversed full provision for the issuance of 801,409 shares related to subscription warrants – working capital, which corresponded to R$ 42.1 million. On June 22, 2015, the agreement related to the final adjustment of working capital and net debt of the transaction was executed by and between the parties in the amount of R$ 26.0 million. Ultrapar recognized in 2Q15 income statement, under “Other operating results”, an income amounting R$ 13.8 million related to the difference between the final working capital and net debt adjustment and the amount of R$ 12.2 million recognized under “other accounts receivable” on December 31, 2014. Ultrapar received the amount of R$ 26.0 million in 3Q15. The number of shares of subscription warrants—indemnification may be exercised from 2020 and it is adjusted according to the variations of provisions for tax, civil and labor risks, and contingent liabilities related to the period beginning before January 31, 2014. The value of the association was R$ 719.9 million. For further information, see Note 3a and Note 22 to the Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.

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, in accordance with ICVM 527/12. 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.

The reconciliation of EBITDA to the net income of the period is presented below:

Highlights

Opening of the first Extrafarma’s drugstore in Ultra’s resellers network – As a further step that demonstrates opportunities among Ultra’s businesses, in 3Q15 Extrafarma opened the first drugstore in an Ipiranga’s service station in Belém (PA). Such fact represents the process of accelerated growth of the drugstore network through Ultra’s retail outlets, which today total more than 12 thousand points of sale represented by Ipiranga’s service stations and Ultragaz’s resellers, providing our customers with more convenience and quality and creating value for the company. The new store has 250 square meters and was built with the technology inspired by Ipiranga’s Posto Ecoeficiente (Eco-Efficient service station), focusing on the efficient use of natural resources.

Update about the fire in a terminal operated by Ultracargo in Santos (SP) – Ultracargo’s operations in the terminal affected by a fire accident in April 2015, in Santos (SP), remain suspended. The part of the terminal with suspended operations has a capacity of 185 thousand m³, 55% of Ultracargo’s capacity in Santos and 22.5% of company’s total capacity. The fire affected 6 tanks with a total capacity of 34 thousand m³. Ultracargo has been performing the first stage of the decommissioning plan of the affected area, which consists in removing, transferring and disposing of the remaining products and residues. In a parallel workstream, we have prepared planning of the second stage of the decommissioning to present it to the relevant authorities in order to obtain the approvals necessary to remove equipments and structures from the terminal affected by the fire.

Ultra will have a new strategic partner in ConectCar – In October, Itaú Unibanco entered into an agreement with Odebrecht Transport to acquire, for R$ 170 million, 50% of ConectCar, a company that operates in the segment of electronic payment for tolls, parking lots and fuel. Such transaction will give ConectCar the opportunity to expand its services to new markets, continuing with its purpose of providing the customers with mobility, convenience, flexibility and, above all, differentiated benefits. Ipiranga holds the remaining 50% interest of the company and the governance will be shared between Ultra and Itaú Unibanco.

Ultrapar receives important awards – In September 2015, Ultrapar was ranked number one for its investor relations by Institutional Investor magazine, including the best CEO, the best CFO, the best IR professionals and IR team, and the best analysts day, in the segment of Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals in Latin America.

Executive summary of the results

During 3Q15, the worsening of the Brazilian macroeconomic scenario followed the same trend seen since the beginning of the year, with the combination of inflation above the target, increasingly weak economic activity, soaring interest rates, rise in the unemployment rate and depreciation of the Real. Such environment became even worse in the last quarter due to the increasing political instability during the last months, with hurdles to approve tax adjustments necessary to Brazil, leading to the downgrade of Brazil’s credit rating by the agencies. In the international scenario, oil prices remained at levels much lower than those observed in the last years, ending the quarter at US$ 47/barrel (Brent), 51% lower than the closing price in 3Q14. The base interest rate increased from 13.75% at the end of the second quarter to 14.25% at the end of the third quarter of 2015, as compared to 11.0% in September 2014. The average Real to dollar exchange rate in 3Q15 was of R$ 3.55/US$ as compared to R$ 2.28/US$ in 3Q14, a 56% variation between the compared periods. According to Anfavea, the number of light vehicles licensed totaled 613 thousand vehicles in 3Q15, a 26% reduction when compared to the same period of the previous year. If we assume the 26% reduction for the full year 2015, the estimated growth of the light vehicles fleet in 2015 would be 4% compared to 2014. In the retail pharmacy sector, according to data from members of Abrafarma, sales continue to grow, though at a lower pace, ending the 3Q15 with an 11% increase compared to 3Q14.

At Ipiranga, fuel sales volume for light vehicles (Otto cycle) presented a 3% growth as compared to 3Q14, driven by a growth in the light vehicles fleet, investments made over the last years to expand the distribution network (opening of new service stations and conversion of unbranded ones) and the 54% increase in ethanol sales. The growth of Otto cycle was partially offset by lower diesel sales, following the weak performance of the Brazilian economy. EBITDA reached R$ 610 million, an increase of 10% compared to 3Q14, due to increased sales volume in Otto cycle, boosted by investments in the network expansion, and to the strategy of constant innovation in services and convenience in the service station, generating greater customer satisfaction and loyalty.

At Oxiteno, sales volume reached 191 thousand tons, down 7% from 3Q14, due to lower commodity sales, resulting from its volatility in prices and in demand, and the effects of the economic slowdown on the volume of specialty chemicals in the domestic market. EBITDA totaled R$ 212 million in 3Q15, up 115% over 3Q14, mainly due to a 56% weaker Real against the US dollar, which contributed to the increase in EBITDA/ton from US$ 212/ton in 3Q14 to US$ 313/ton in 3Q15.

In 3Q15, Ultragaz reported a 2% decrease in sales volume compared to 3Q14, mainly as a result of the economic slowdown over the bulk segment, partially offset by commercial initiatives of new resellers in the bottled segment. In 3Q15, Ultragaz’s EBITDA reached R$ 103 million, a 16% increase compared to 3Q14, mainly due to the commercial initiatives of new resellers in the bottled segment and increase in the cost of LPG for use in bottled and bulk segments by Petrobras.

Ultracargo’s average storage presented a 13% reduction over 3Q14, as a result of the partial interruption of the Santos terminal due to the fire accident occurred in April, partially offset by the increased handling of fuels by the distributors. Ultracargo’s EBITDA reached R$ 14 million in 3Q15, a 67% decrease over 3Q14, mainly due to the lower handling resulting from the partial interruption of the Santos terminal and expenses related to the fire accident, partially offset by the increased handling of fuels. Excluding Santos operations, other Ultracargo’s terminals reported an EBITDA of R$ 25 million in 3Q15, a 6% decrease compared to 3Q14.

Extrafarma ended 3Q15 with 244 company-owned stores in the North and Northeast regions of Brazil, an increase of 34 stores compared to 3Q14. Extrafarma’s gross revenues totaled R$ 362 million in 3Q15, an 11% increase compared to 3Q14, mainly due to the increase in gross revenues in the retail segment resulting from the higher average number of drugstores and the increase in same store sales. In 3Q15, EBITDA totaled R$ 6 million, an increase of R$ 4 million compared to 3Q14, due to the increase in gross revenues and lower expenses with integration.

The resilient performance of Ultrapar’s businesses resulted in a consolidated EBITDA of R$ 944 million in 3Q15, up 20% over 3Q14. In 3Q15, net earnings amounted to R$ 299 million, a 9% decrease compared to 3Q14, mainly due to the impact of the financial results between periods, influenced by the higher interest rates and by the strong devaluation of the Real against the US dollar.

Outlook

The characteristics and diversity of our businesses, as well as our management discipline when seeking efficiency, reaffirm the prospects of continuing to grow our results, even considering the lack of visibility of economic recovery in Brazil. Ipiranga will continue to capture the benefits from the growth of the vehicle fleet in Brazil and the expansion of Midwest, Northeast and North regions of Brazil through investments in the expansion of its distribution network and related logistics infrastructure. Additionally, it will continue with its differentiation initiatives, based on increasing the offer of products, services and convenience, to further increase customer loyalty and expand the number of clients, who are offered higher value-added products and services, while the reseller is provided with an additional source of revenue and differentiated positioning, thus maximizing the profitability of the chain as a whole, including Ipiranga’s. Oxiteno will continue with focus on innovation, with the development of new products, reaping the benefits from the maturation of investments in Brazil in a more favorable foreign exchange scenario, as well as intensify the international expansion. Ultragaz will continue focused on obtaining the benefits from the investments in capturing new customers and on managing costs and expenses constantly, which will contribute to the earnings progression. Ultracargo’s priority continues to be the clarification and management of the impacts derived from the accident in Santos, without ceasing to assess the opportunities from the growing demand for liquid bulk storage in Brazil.
