1.1) Examination and approval of the Management report and accounts as well as the financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019, in addition to the report of the Independent Auditors and the opinion of the Fiscal Council
The Management Report and the financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019 were filed with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission—CVM on February 191, 2020 and published in newspapers with wide circulation on February 21, 2019.
These documents (i) were approved by the Board of Directors and (ii) received a favorable opinion from the Company’s Risks and Audit Committee and the Fiscal Council at a meeting held on February 19, 2019, the respective minutes also being filed with the CVM on February 19, 2019.
In addition, the financial statements were audited and received an unqualified report from the Company’s independent auditors, KPMG Auditores Independentes. These documents can be found inAttachment II of the Management Proposal.

2.1) To ratify the alteration of the number of common shares into which the Company’s capital stock is divided due to partial exercise of the subscription warrants issued by the Company as of the approval of the merger of shares issued by Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A., by the Company, approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on January 31, 2014.
Due to the partial exercise of the above mentioned subscription warrants, 2,108,542 (two million, one hundred and eight thousand, five hundred andforty-two) common shares were issued within the limit of the authorized capital pursuant to Article 6 of the Company’s Bylaws.

Since no additional payment for exercising the subscription warrants is due, the issuance did not result in any change in the amount of the capital stock.

Independent Auditor’s Report in the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements
To the Shareholders of the
Ultrapar Participações S.A.
São Paulo – SP
Opinion
We have audited the individual and consolidated financial statements of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“the Company”), respectively referred to as Parent and Consolidated, which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019, the statements of income and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes, comprising significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of the Ultrapar Participações S.A. as at December 31, 2019, and of its individual and consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Accounting Practices Adopted in Brazil and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements included in the Accountant Professional Code of Ethics (“Código de Ética Profissional do Contador”) and in the professional standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“Conselho Federal de Contabilidade”) and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Valuation of recoverable amount of goodwill on business combination
In accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and with international financial reporting standards, the Company is required to annually perform the impairment test of the amounts recorded as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, including goodwill for future profitability (“goodwill”). The acquisition of the operations of Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos S.A. (Extrafarma), resulted on the recognition of goodwill in the amount of R$ 661,553 thousand, as disclosed in the explanatory note 15, the recoverable amount of which must be evaluated annually. On December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment of the recoverable amount of R$ 593,280 related to the goodwill recorded in Extrafarma.
The assessment of the need or not to reduce the recoverable amount is supported by an estimate of future profitability based on the business plan and budget prepared by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors, which are based on methodologies and assumptions involving estimates, such as: revenue growth rate, costs and expenses, investments, future working capital and discount rates. Assumptions about projected growth in future cash flows are based on the business plan of the Company’s segments, as well as on comparable market data.
Due to uncertainties related to assumptions and estimates that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the accounting balances of the individual and consolidated financial statements, we consider this matter to be significant for our audit.

Table of Contents
Our response
Our audit procedures included, among others:
Evaluation of the design, implementation and effectiveness of the internal control of financial projections related to the identification and measurement of the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit where the goodwill is allocated.
Within the involvement of our corporate finance specialists, for the methodology adopted by the Company and the assumptions used in the calculation of discounted cash flows, including growth and discount rates, comparison with historical information and testing of the arithmetic accuracy of the formulas used in discounted cash flow models.
Evaluation of the sensitivity analysis of significant assumptions and comparison with the budgets approved in the previous period with the actual values calculated in the current year.
Comparison of the recoverable amount calculated based on discounted cash flows, with the book value and evaluation of the disclosures made in the financial statements.
As a result of the evidence obtained through the audit procedures summarized above, we consider that the amount of goodwill on business combinations and the respective disclosures are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.
Realization of deferred tax assets
As of December 31, 2019, the individual and consolidated financial statements include deferred tax asset amounts equivalent to R $ 1,076,223 thousand, of which R$ 278,140 thousand are related to temporary differences and R$ 798,083 thousand are related to tax losses, considered recoverable based on the generation of future taxable profits.
Estimates of future taxable income generation include the use of assumptions, judgments and estimates on cash flows, such as growth rates of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of future investments and working capital and discount rates, which involve high degree of complexity and judgments that impact the expectation of realization of deferred tax assets in the coming years. Therefore, we consider this matter to be significant for our audit.
Our Response
Our audit procedures included, among others:
Evaluation of the design, implementation and effectiveness of the internal control of financial projections related to the realization of the registered deferred taxes.
Within the involvement of our corporate finance specialists, for the assumptions and data used by the Company in preparing the study of future taxable profits considering the projections of future cash flows. Also to assess the accuracy of the recorded balances.
Comparison of the budgets approved in the previous year with the actual values calculated in the current year.
Assessment whether the disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements consider all relevant information regarding deferred tax assets.
As a result of the evidence obtained through the audit procedures summarized above, we consider that the amount of deferred tax assets recorded and the respective disclosures are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Other matters - Statements of value added
The individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the year ended December 31, 2019 prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s management, and presented herein as supplementary information for IFRS purposes, have been subject to audit procedures jointly performed with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. In order to form our opinion, we assessed whether those statements are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their format and contents are in accordance with criteria determined in the Technical Pronouncement 09 (CPC 09) - Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, the statements of value added have been fairly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria determined by the aforementioned Technical Pronouncement and are consistent with the overall individual and consolidated financial statements.
Other information accompanying the individual and consolidated financial statements and the auditor’s report
Management is responsible for the other information comprising the management report.
Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the individual and consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Practices Adopted in Brazil and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the individual and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and subsidiaries financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the individual and consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Brazilian and international standards on auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
– | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the individual and consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
– | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and its subsidiaries internal control. |
42
Table of Contents
– | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. |
– | Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and its subsidiaries ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern. |
– | Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the individual and consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
– | Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Differences between fair value and initial amount of financial investments plus the interest earned are recognized in equity in other comprehensive income in the “Valuation adjustments”. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss at the time of their settlement. Substantially the financial investments in Bank Certificates of Deposit (“CDB”) and repurchase agreements are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. |
• | Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets that were not classified as amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The balances are stated at fair value and both the interest earned and the exchange variations and changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement. Investment funds and derivatives are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. |
The Company and its subsidiaries use financial instruments for hedging purposes, applying the concepts described below:
• | Hedge accounting — fair value hedge: 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 statements of 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 the statements of profit or loss. The hedge accounting must be discontinued when the hedge becomes ineffective. |

• | Hedge accounting — cash flow hedge: 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 or firm commitment that may affect the statements of profit or loss. 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 the statements of 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 or as initial cost ofnon- financial assets, in the same line of the statement that the hedged item is recognized. The hedge accounting shall be discontinued when (i) the hedging relationship is canceled; (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 equity in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the statements of 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 equity in other comprehensive income shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss. |
• | Hedge accounting — hedge of net investments in foreign operation: 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 the statements of 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 the statements of profit or loss when the disposal of the foreign subsidiary occurs. |
For further information on financial instruments, see Note 34.
d. | Trade receivables and reseller financing |
Trade receivables are recognized at the amount invoiced of the counterparty that the Company subsidiaries are entitled (see Notes 5 and 34.d.3). The estimated losses take into account, (i) at the initial recognition of the contract, the expected losses for the next 12 months or (ii) for the lifetime of the contract when the deterioration or improvement of the customers’ credit quality, considering the customers’ characteristics in each business segment. The amount of the expected credit losses is deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any probable loss on realization of trade receivables.
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 and indirectly 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 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. | Contractual assets with customers – exclusive rights |
Exclusive rights disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recognized as contractual assets when paid and amortized according to the conditions established in the agreements (see Note 2.a and 11).

g. | Investments |
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the financial statements of the parent company (see Notes 3.b and 12.a). A subsidiary is an investee in which the investor is 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 financial statements (see Note 12 items b and c). 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 does not 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.
h. | Right to Use Assets and Lease Payable |
The Company and its subsidiaries recognized in the financial position, a right to use assets and the respective lease liabilities initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, considering the related contract costs (see Note 13). The amortization expenses of right to use assets is recognized in statement of profit or loss over the lease contract term. The liability is increased for interest and net of payments. The charges are recognized in the statement of profit or loss using the effective interest rate method. The remeasurement of assets and liabilities based on the contractual index is recognized in the financial position, not having an effect in the result. In case of cancellation of the contract, the assets and respective liabilities are written off to the result.
Right to use assets include amounts related to port concession grants (see Note 35.c).
The subsidiaries of the Company apply the exemptions for recognition of short-term leases of 12 months or less, and leases of low amount assets such. In these cases, the recognition of the lease expense in the statements of profit or loss is on a straight-line basis.
i. | Property, Plant, and Equipment |
Property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”) is recognized at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on PP&E under construction, as well as qualifying maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages and estimated costs to remove, to decommission, or to restore assets (see Notes 2.n and 21), less accumulated depreciation and, when applicable, less provision for losses (see Note 14).
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, over the periods mentioned in Note 14, taking into account the estimated useful lives 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.
j. | Intangible Assets |
Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the criteria below:
• | Goodwill 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. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the business segments, which represent the lowest level that goodwill is monitored for impairment testing purposes (see Note 15.a). |
• | 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, over the periods mentioned in Note 15, taking into account their useful lives, which are reviewed annually. |
The Company and its subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that were generated internally. The Company and its subsidiaries have goodwill and brands acquired in business combinations, which are evaluated as intangible assets with indefinite useful life (see Note 15 items a and e).

k. | 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.
l. | Financial Liabilities |
The financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables, loans, debentures, leases payable and derivative financial 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 — indemnification, 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 net of amortization and transaction costs. The charges are recognized in the statement of profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.
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 in the statement of profit or loss taking into account its term, using the effective interest rate method (see Note 16.h).
m. | 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. For the calculation of current IRPJ, the value of tax incentives is also considered. Taxes are recognized based on the rates of IRPJ and CSLL provided for by the laws enacted on the last day of the financial statements. The current rates in Brazil are 25% for IRPJ and 9% for CSLL. For further information about recognition and realization of IRPJ and CSLL, see Note 9.
For purposes of disclosure, deferred tax assets were offset against the deferred tax liability, IRPJ and CSLL, in the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.
n. | Provision for Asset Retirement Obligation – Fuel Tanks |
The subsidiary Ipiranga has the legal obligation to remove the 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 the tanks are installed. The estimated cost is recognized in PP&E and depreciated over the respective useful lives of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability accrue interest using the National Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) until the tank is removed (see Note 21). 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 statements of profit or loss when they become known. An increase in the estimated cost of the obligation to remove the tanks could result in negative impact in future results.
o. | 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 ismore-likely-than-not in the opinion of management and internal and external legal counsel, and the amounts are recognized based on the evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see Note 22).
p. | 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 and reviewed by management, using the projected unit credit method (see Note 20.b). The actuarial gains and losses are recognized in equity in cumulative other comprehensive income in the “Valuation adjustments”.

q. | Other Liabilities |
Other liabilities are stated at known or measurable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, 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.
r. | 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 date of the financial statements. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in financial results until the conclusion of each transaction.
s. | Basis for Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries |
s.1. | Subsidiaries with administrative autonomy |
Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, denominated in currencies other than Brazilian Real, which have administrative autonomy, are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the financial statements. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate of each year and equity is translated at the historical exchange rate of each transaction affecting equity. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in equity in cumulative other comprehensive income in the “cumulative translation adjustments” and will be recognized in profit or loss if these investments are disposed of. The balance in cumulative other comprehensive income on December 31, 2019 was a gain of R$ 102,427 (gain of R$ 65,857 in 2018) — see Note 26.g.2.
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 S.A. de C.V. | Mexican Peso | Mexico | ||||
Oxiteno USA LLC | U.S. Dollar | United States | ||||
Oxiteno Uruguay S.A. (i) | U.S. Dollar | Uruguay |
(i) | The subsidiary Oxiteno Uruguay S.A. (“Oxiteno Uruguay”) determined its functional currency as the U.S. dollar (“US$”), as its inventory sales, purchases of raw material inputs, and financing activities are performed substantially in this currency. |
s.2. | Subsidiaries without self-administrative autonomy |
Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have administrative autonomy, are considered an extension of the activities of their parent company and are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial result. The gain recognized in income in 2019 amounted to R$ 2,444 (gain of R$ 4,090 in 2018).
t. | Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments |
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments for the accounting and disclosure of certain assets, liabilities, and profit or loss. Therefore, the Company and subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the date of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically.

t.1 | Judgments |
Information on the judgments is included: in the determination of control in subsidiaries (Notes 2.g, 2.s.1, 3 and 12.a), the determination of joint control in joint venture (Notes 2.g, 12.a and 12.b) and the determination of significant influence in associates (Notes 2.g and 12.c).
t.2 | Uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates |
The information regarding uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates are included: in determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 2.c, 2.l, 4, 16 and 34), the determination of the estimated losses on doubtful accounts (Notes 2.d, 5 and 34.d.3), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Notes 2.e and 6), realization of deferred IRPJ and CSLL amounts (Notes 2.m and 9.a), the useful lives and discount rate of right to use assets (Notes 2.h and 13), the useful lives of PP&E (Notes 2.i and 14), the useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill (Notes 2.j and 15.a), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Notes 2.n and 21), provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks (Notes 2.o and 22), estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Notes 2.p and 20.b) and the determination of fair value of subscription warrants – indemnification (Notes 25 and 34.j). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from their estimates.
u. | Impairment of Assets |
The Company and its subsidiaries review, in every report period, the existence of any indication that an asset may be impaired and annually test intangible assets with undefined useful life. 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 inflow 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 to sell 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 projections of future cash flows, trends, and outlooks, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors were considered. 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, an 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 apro-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.
On December 31, 2019, the Company recognized an impairment loss for the subsidiary Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”) (see Note 15.a).
v. | Business Combination |
A business combination is accounted applying the acquisition method. The cost of the acquisition is measured based on the consideration transferred and to be transferred, measured at fair value at the acquisition date. In a business combination, the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed are measured in order to classify and allocate them accordingly to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions on the acquisition date. Thenon-controlling interest in the acquire is measured 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 the initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is allocated to the Company’s operating segments. When the cost of the acquisition is lower than the fair value of net assets acquired, a gain is recognized directly in the statement of profit or loss. Costs related to the acquisition are recorded in the statement of profit or loss when incurred.

w. | Statements of Value Added |
The statements of value added (“DVA”) are presented as an integral part of the financial statements as applicable to publicly-traded companies, and as supplemental information for the IFRS, which does not require the presentation of DVA.
x. | Statements of Cash Flows Indirect Method |
The Company and its subsidiaries present the interest paid on loans, debentures, and leases payable in financing activities. The Company and its subsidiaries present financial investments on a net basis of income and redemptions in the investing activities.
y. | Adoption of the Pronouncements Issued by CPC and IASB |
The following standards, amendments, and interpretations to IFRS were issued by the IASB, which are effective as of January 1, 2019:
(i) IFRS 16/CPC 06 (R2) — Lease:
With the adoption of IFRS 16/CPC 06 (R2), the leases contracted by the Company’s subsidiaries, identified and effective at the date of transition and with maturities of more than 12 months, were accounted in the financial statements:
- recognition of right to use assets and lease liabilities in financial position, initially measured at the present value of future lease payments; and
- recognition of amortization expenses of right to use assets and interest expenses on the lease payable in the financial result in the statements of profits or loss.
The Company selected as transition method the modified retrospective approach, with the cumulative effect of initial application of this new pronouncement recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity and without restatement of comparative periods.
In the analysis of the adoption, the Company’s management, with the assistance of specialized consulting, carried out the inventory of the contracts, evaluating whether or not each agreement contains a lease in accordance with IFRS 16/CPC 06 (R2). This analysis identified impacts mainly related to the lease of properties from third parties, port areas and lower amounts arising from other operations where the existence of leased assets individually or combined in service contracts was identified.
As allowed in the standard, short-term leases with a term of 12 months or less, variable amounts, indefinite term and leases of low amount assets such as computers and office furniture, are recognized as lease expenses on a straight-line basis in the statements of profit or loss.
In addition, the following practical expedients were used to transition to new lease accounting requirements:
• | application of the IFRS 16/CPC 06 (R2) to all contracts initiated before January 1, 2019 that were identified as leases in accordance with IAS 7/CPC 06 (R1) and IFRIC 4/ICPC 03; |
• | use of discount rate according to the lease term and similar characteristics; |
• | contracts with a term of 12 months from the date of the initial adoption of the standard or with indefinite term were not recorded; |
• | exclusion of the initial direct costs of the measurement of the opening balance from right to use asset; and |
• | options for extension of the term or termination were considered, when applicable. |

The analysis associated with the measurement and accounting of the lease agreements are completed.
To measurement, the Company used a nominal discount rate, and estimated the payment flows for the gross portion of taxes.
(ii) IFRIC 23/ICPC 22—Uncertainty over income tax treatments:
IFRS 23 (ICPC 22) clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments, that means, there are doubts about acceptance of the treatments adopted by the fiscal authority, applying the requirements in IAS 12 (CPC 32).
In the evaluation of management, no significant impacts were identified as a result of the adoption of IFRIC 23/ICPC 22, since all the procedures adopted for the determination and collection of income taxes are supported by the legislation and precedents from Administrative and Judicial Courts.
z. | Authorization for Issuance of the Financial Statements |
This financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 19, 2020.
3. | Principles of Consolidation and Investments in Subsidiaries |
a. | Principles of Consolidation |
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements the investments of one company in another, balances of asset and liability accounts, revenues transactions, costs and expenses were eliminated, as well as the effects of transactions conducted between the companies.Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented within consolidated 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 statement of profit or loss and 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 statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income until the date the parent company loses control.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company’s accounting policies.

(“Petrobras”)), and credits arising from the difference between transactions of inflows and outflows of products subject to ICMS taxation (mainly ethanol); |
(iii) | The subsidiary Extrafarma has credits of ICMS and ICMS-ST (tax substitution) advances on the inflow and outflow of operations carried out by its distribution centers, mostly in the North and Northeast. |

c. | Deferred Stock Plan (Consolidated) |
Since 2003, Ultrapar has adopted a stock plan in which the executive has the usufruct of shares held in treasury until the transfer of the full ownership of the shares to those eligible members of management after five to seven years from the initial concession of the rights subject to uninterrupted employment of the participant during the period. The volume of shares and the executives eligible are determined by the Board of Directors, and there is no mandatory annual grant. The total number of shares to be used in the plan is subject to the number of shares in treasury. Ultrapar’s Board of Directors does not have a stock plan. The fair value of the awards were determined on the grant date based on the market value of the shares on the B3, the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange and the amounts are amortized between five to seven years from the grant date.

On December 31, 2019, the Company tested the balances of goodwill shown in the table above for impairment. The determination of value in use involves assumptions, judgments, and estimates of cash flows, such as growth rates of revenues, costs and expenses, estimates of investments and working capital, and discount rates. The assumptions about growth projections and future cash flows are based on the Company’s business plan of its operating segments, as well as comparable market data, and represent management’s best estimate of the economic conditions that will exist over the economic life of the various CGUs, to which goodwill is related.
The mainkey-assumptions used by the Company to calculate the value in use are described below:
Period of evaluation: the evaluation of the value in use is calculated for a period of five years (except the Extrafarma segment), after which the Company calculated the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely. For the Extrafarma segment, a period of ten years was used due to a four-year period to maturity of new stores were considered.
Discount and real growth rates: on December 31, 2019, the discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 8.9% to 12.1% and from 0% to 1% p.a., respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed.
Revenue from sales and services, costs and expenses, and gross margin: considers the budget prepared for 2020 and the long-term strategic plan prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors.

The goodwill impairment tests and net assets of the Company and its subsidiaries result in the recognition of impairment in the amount of R$ 593,280 for subsidiary Extrafarma for the year ended December 31, 2019 (see Note 2.u).
The Company assessed a sensitivity analysis of discount and growth rate of perpetuity, due to their significant impact on cash flows and value in use. An increase of 0.5 percentage points in the discount rate or a decrease of 0.5 percentage points in the growth rate of the perpetuity of the cash flow of each business segment would not result in the recognition of impairment.
b. | Software |
Includes user licenses and costs for the implementation of the various systems used by the Company and its subsidiaries, such as: integrated management and control, financial management, foreign trade, industrial automation, operational and storage management, accounting information, and other systems.
c. | Technology |

Such licenses include the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, ethanolamines, glycol ethers, ethoxylates, solvents, fatty acids from vegetable oils, fatty alcohols, and specialty chemicals, which are products that are supplied to various industries.
d. | Brands and Trademark rights |
Brands are represented by the acquisition cost of the ‘am/pm’ brand in Brazil and of the Extrafarma brand, acquired in the business combination, and Chevron and Texaco trademark rights.
e. | Other intangibles |
Refers mainly to the loyalty program “Clube Extrafarma”.

20. | 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 — Associação de Previdência Complementar (“Ultraprev”), since August 2001. Under the terms of the plan, every year each participating employee chooses his or her basic contribution to the plan. Each sponsoring company provides a matching contribution in an amount equivalent to each basic contribution, up to a limit of 11% of the employee’s reference salary, according to the rules of the plan. As participating employees retire, they may choose to receive either (i) a monthly sum ranging between 0.3% 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 35 years. The sponsoring company does not take responsibility for guaranteeing amounts or the duration of the benefits received by the retired employee. In 2019, the subsidiaries contributed R$ 21,357 (R$ 24,323 in 2018) to Ultraprev, which is recognized as expense in the income statement. The total number of participating employees as of December 31, 2019 was 8,008 active participants and 328 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 26 former employees receiving benefits under the rules of a previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

Sensitivity analysis
The significant actuarial assumptions to determine the provision for post-employment benefits are: discount rate, wage and medical costs increases. The following sensitivity analyses on December 31, 2019 were determined based on reasonably possible changes of assumptions occurring at the reporting date of the financial statements, keeping all other assumptions constant.
Assumption | Change in assumptions | Decrease in liability | Change in assumptions | Increase in liability | ||||||||||||
Discount rate | increase by 1.0 p.p | 26,741 | decrease by 1.0 p.p | 49,344 | ||||||||||||

The sensitivity analyses presented may not represent the real change in the post-employment benefits obligation, since it is unlikely that changes occur in just one assumption alone, considering that some of these assumptions may be correlated.
Inherent risks related to post-employment benefits
Interest rate risk: a long-term interest rate is used to calculate the present value of post-employment liabilities. A reduction in this interest rate will increase the corresponding liability.
Wage growth risk: the present value of the liability is calculated using as reference the wages of the plan participants, projected with the average nominal wage growth rate. An increase in the real wages of plan participants will increase the corresponding liability.
Medical costs growth risk: the present value of the liability is calculated using as reference the medical cost by age based on actual healthcare costs, projected based on the growth rate of medical services costs. An increase in the real medical costs will increase the corresponding liability.

34. | Risks and Financial Instruments (Consolidated) |
a. | 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 policy for the management of resources, financial instruments, and risks approved by its CA (“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 market risks (currencies, interest rates and commodities), liquidity and credit. The governance of the management of financial risks follows the segregation of duties below:
The execution of the Policy has done by corporate financial board, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the accounting, legal and tax departments.
The monitoring of compliance of the Policy and possible issues is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, (“Committee”), which is composed of CFO, Treasury Director, Controller and others directors designated by the CFO. The Committee holds quartely meetings and monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.
Approval of the Policy and the periodic assessment of Company exposure to financial risks are subject to the approval of the CAof Ultrapar.
The Audit and Risks Committee (“CAR”) advises the CA in the assessment of controls, management and exposure of financial risks and revision of Policy. The Risk, Compliance and Audit board monitors of standards compliance of the Policy and reports to the CAR the risks exposure and compliance or noncompliance of the Policy.

b. | Currency Risk |
Most transactions of the Company, through 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 changes in 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:

The equity effect refers to cumulative translation adjustments of changes in the exchange rate on equity of foreign subsidiaries (see Notes 2.s.1 and 26.g.2), net investments hedge in foreign entities, cash flow hedge of firm commitment and highly probable transaction (see Note 2.c and “h. Hedge Accounting” below).
c. | Interest Rate Risk |
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt 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 DI, as set forth in Note 4. Borrowings primarily relate to financing from Banco do Brasil, as well as debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in Note 16.
The Company attempts to maintain most of its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates.

d. | 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 (see Note 4), and trade receivables (see Note 5).
d.1 | 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.
d.2 | 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 (S&P, Moody’s and Fitch) 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.
The credit risk of financial institution and government of cash, cash equivalents and financial investments is summarized below:
Fair Value | ||||||||
Counterparty credit rating | 12/31/2019 | 12/31/2018 | ||||||
AAA | 4,906,077 | 5,933,671 | ||||||

|
|
|
| |||||
Total | 5,712,097 | 6,994,406 | ||||||
|
|
|
|
d.3 | Customer credit risk |
The credit policy establishes the analysis of the profile of each new customer, individually, regarding their financial condition. The review carried out by the subsidiaries of the Company includes the evaluation of external ratings, when available, financial statements, credit bureau information, industry information and, when necessary, bank references. Credit limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically, in a shorter period the greater the risk, depending on the approval of the responsible area in cases of sales that exceed these limits.
In monitoring credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics and depending on the business the grouping takes into account, for example, whether they are natural or legal clients, whether they are wholesalers, resellers or final customers, considering also the geographic area.
The estimates of credit losses are calculated by the expected loss approach, based on the probability of default rates. Loss rates are calculated on the basis of the average probability of a receivable amount to advance through successive stages of default until fullwrite-off. The probability of default calculation takes into account a credit risk score for each exposure, based on data considered to be capable of foreseeing the risk of loss (external classifications, audited financial statements, cash flow projections, customer information available in the press, for example), with addition of the credit assessment based on experience.
Such credit 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 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 and sources of financing to satisfy their current needs. The gross indebtedness due over the next twelve months totals R$ 1,532.0 million, including estimated interests on loans (for quantitative information, see Note 16.a). Furthermore, the investment plan for 2020 totals R$ 1,771 million. On December 31, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 5,205.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term financial investments (for quantitative information, see Note 4).
The table below presents a summary of financial liabilities as of December 31, 2019 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.

(1) | To calculate the estimated interest on loans some macroeconomic assumptions were used, including averaging for the period the following: (i) DI of % 4.40% to 2020, 4.95% to 2021, 5.57% to 2022 and 6.01% to 2023, (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 4.05 in 2020, R$ 4.17 in 2021, R$ 4.33 in 2022, R$ 4.52 in 2023, R$ 4.73 in 2024, R$ 4.93 in 2025, R$ 5.13 in 2026, R$ 5.34 in 2027, R$ 5.56 in 2028 and R$ 5.78 in 2029 (iii) TJLP of 5.57%, (iv)IGP-M of 4.18% in 2020, 3.99% in 2021, 3.75% in 2022, 3.58% as from 2023 and (v) IPCA of 3.46% in 2020, 3.45% in 2021, 3.50% in 2022 and 3.25% as from 2023(source:B3, 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 curves of DI x Pre and Pre x IPCA contracts quoted on B3 on 28, 2019 and on the futures curve of LIBOR (ICE — IntercontinentalExchange) and commodities heating oil contracts and RBOB quoted on New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) on December 31, 2019. In the table above, only the hedging instruments with negative results at the time of settlement were considered. |
f. | 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 16). 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.
g. | 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.

(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 financial statements, 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 the Company calculates their fair value through methodologies commonly used for mark to the market. |
• | The fair value of trade receivables and trade payables are approximate to their carrying values. |
• | The subscription warrants –indemnification were measured based on the share price of Ultrapar (UGPA3) at the financial statements date and are adjusted to the Company’s dividend yield, since the exercise is only possible starting in 2020 onwards and they are not entitled to dividends until then. 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. (See Note 25). |
• | The fair value calculation of notes in the foreign market (see Note 16.b) is based on the quoted price in an active market. |
The fair value of other financial investments, financing and leases payable was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used formark-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 the date of the financial statements. 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 financial assets or 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, financial investments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial investments that are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (see Note 4.b), (ii) loans and financing measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 16.a), (iii) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 16.i), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and (iv) subscription warrants – indemnification, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 25). Cash, banks, trade receivables and reseller financing are classified as measured at amortized cost. Trade payables, leases payable and other payables are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.
j.1 | 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). |

k. | Sensitivity Analysis of Derivative Financial Instruments |
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 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 B3. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 5.76 (R$ 5.86 as of December 31, 2018) 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.
Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and hedged items as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Brazilian Reais and the original balance in Brazilian Reais were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the change in the values of the main derivative instruments and their hedged items, considering the changes in the exchange rate in the different scenarios:

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Brazilian Reais as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company used the futures curve of the DI x Pre contract quoted on B3 as of December 31, 2019 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 scenariopre-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 thepre-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:

For the sensitivity analysis of the commodity price swings hedging instruments on December 31, 2019, the Company used the futures heating oil and gasoline (RBOB) contracts quoted on NYMEX. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the likely scenario commodity price.
Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and the objects hedged on December 31, 2019, prices were substituted and the variations between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais in the report date were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the variation of the amounts of the derivative instruments and their objects of hedge, considering the variations in commodity prices in the different scenarios:

35. | Commitments (Consolidated) |
a. | Contracts |
a.1Subsidiary 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 | 397,000 | 2031 | ||||||
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 December 31, 2019, these rates were R$ 8.37 per ton for Aratu and R$ 2.54 per ton for Suape. The subsidiary has met the minimum cargo movement required since the beginning of the contractual agreements.
a.2Subsidiary Oxiteno S.A. has a supply agreements with Braskem S.A. which establishes and regulates the conditions for the supply of ethylene to Oxiteno based on the international market for this product.. These contracts establish a minimum commitment to according to the table below:
Plant | Minimum purchase (tons) per year | Maturity | ||||||
Camaçari | 205,000 | 2021 | ||||||
Mauá | 44,100 | 2023 |
Should the minimum purchase commitment not be met, the subsidiary would be liable for a fine based on the current ethylene price for the quantity not purchased. According to contractual conditions and tolerances, there are no material issues regarding the minimum purchase commitment.

The estimated investments regarding the participation of IPP and Tequimar sums up to R$ 450 million, approximately, to be disbursed throughout the next five years including the auction grants and the minimum investment required for these areas.
36. | Subsequent Events |
In February 19, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors confirmed the issuance of 2,108,542 common shares within the authorized capital limit provided by the art. 6 of the Bylaws, due to the partial exercise of the rights conferred by the subscription warrants (see note 25) issued by the Company when the merger of all Extrafarma shares by the Company, approved by the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held in January 31, 2014. The share capital of the Company will therefore be represented by 1,114,918,734 common shares, all of which are registered and with no par value.

Message from the Management
We began 2019 with an optimistic outlook regarding Brazil’s economic growth and its positive impact on the business environment, expectation which in the first few months of the year proved distant from reality given the pace of the structural reforms. Nevertheless, despite the lower than expected growth, some important moves were made in the direction of a more dynamic macroeconomic scenario, with lower interest rates, inflation under control and new announcements of privatizations and public biddings.
In this context, we worked to strengthen our management structure and governance, consolidating the pillars supporting the longevity of Ultrapar. In April, the Board of Directors underwent an important process of renewal, with the election of four new members that bring complementary experiences and competencies to the Company. In addition to the People Committee, in place since 2011, we created a Strategy Committee and restructured the Audit and Risks Committee, which now has independent members of Ultrapar’s Board of Directors.
At the business level, we have installed Advisory Boards formed by Ultrapar’s CEO and CFO and two external specialists in the respective sector of activity. The Advisory Boards have contributed to raise the quality of supervision and monitoring of each business through deeper analysis of strategy, investments, people and results.
Continuing our planned succession process for the Executive Board, we made the leadership succession at Ultracargo and we remain committed to building a pipeline of enterprise leaders both at Ultrapar as well as at our businesses.
We are improving our strategic planning process initiated in 2018, aiming the long-term prospects of our businesses and strengthening our portfolio strategy at Ultrapar. The alterations implemented in our governance were key to this objective being reached, particularly given the new dynamic among the Advisory Boards, the Executive Board, the Strategy Committee and the Board of Directors.
At Ipiranga, we have seen a notable progression in the management model organized by business units introduced in early 2019, that focuses on maximizing value in the initiatives which previously had as their main objective to boost fuel sales. In this sense, we began a pilot project for company-operated am/pm stores, enabling us to deepen our knowledge of the business and add value to our franchisees. TheAbastece Aí app continues to grow exponentially and reached more than R$ 4.0 billion annualized payment transactions, while theKm deVantagens, Brazil’s leading loyalty program, continues to add new users and surpassed the mark of 32 million participants.
As to Ipiranga’s core business – fuel distribution – we are bolstering our logistics infrastructure and implementing initiatives for reducing costs and expenses, allowing us to keep growing more efficiently, even in a tough competitive environment. In addition, we have improved our pricing tools introducing data analytics and we remain committed to the satisfaction of our resellers through a closer and more transparent commercial relationship. We have established an innovation hub known as “Turbo” for leveraging our digital platforms and maintaining Ipiranga in the vanguard of innovation in the sector.
At Oxiteno, narrower margins in the international petrochemical commodities market had a major impact on results, in addition to a harder than expected start in our operations at our U.S. plant. To counteract these factors, Oxiteno’s management adapted its cost structure and kept investing in research and development and in the launch of new products, enhancing the performance of our formulations to our clients, with reduced environmental impact. The ramp-up of the U.S. plant continues to be an important lever for generating value for Oxiteno, which will benefit from more attractive conditions for raw materials and infrastructure in the largest surfactants market in the world.
Ultragaz continues to be a reference in operational excellence and innovation in the LPG sector and is investing in the expansion to less urbanized areas, in new sales channels and in the differentiation of its services. In August of 2019, the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) ruled to cease the practice of differentiating prices for bottled and bulk LPG, thus eliminating a historical distortion and increasing LPG’s competitiveness compared to other energy sources. Despite the market contraction in the first half of the year, we observed an important rebound in sales in the second half, underscoring our conviction of a good year for Ultragaz in 2020.

At Ultracargo, we concluded the capacity expansions at the Santos and Itaqui terminals, both of them started operation in the second half of the year, and we won the tender bidding for building a new liquid bulk storage terminal at the port of Vila do Conde, state of Pará, thus expanding our geographic footprint. We signed a Conduct Adjustment Agreement with the Public Prosecutor’s Office with respect to the fire at the Santos terminal in 2015, which includes projects to offset impacts caused to the Santos estuary and we are implementing continuous improvements in safety at all our terminals. We envision a growing demand for the services provided by Ultracargo and certainly we are well placed to benefit from these opportunities.
At Extrafarma, we migrated from an accelerated expansion strategy across several regions to consolidate our presence in higher profitability regions. In addition, we invested to improve our logistics infrastructure and IT systems, thus increasing efficiency, reducing working capital and improving the level of service to our customers. We have begun the sale of private label products, implemented personalized promotions and unveiled a new distribution center in São Paulo. With these initiatives, Extrafarma reported a positive cash generation in the second half of the year.
We set up a Shared Services Center to serve all businesses with a level of excellence and competitive costs as part of the process of optimizing the structure of the holding company. The Center is sited in the city of Campinas and began operations in January 2020.
We ended 2019 with Adjusted EBITDA of R$ 3.1 billion, practically stable compared to 2018, with an operational cash generation after investments of R$ 1.7 billion and a net income of R$ 906 million, of which R$ 479 million were paid out via dividends to our shareholders. These amounts do not consider the impairment of R$ 593 million of goodwill from the acquisition of Extrafarma, the asset write-off of R$ 14 million for the sale of Oxiteno Andina and the Conduct Adjustment Agreement of R$ 66 million of Ultracargo.
In 2019, we extended our debt profile, raising US$ 500 million in notes in the international market with a ten-year maturity, and using the proceeds for liability management. The reduction in our financial leverage remains an important objective and, in this context, we continue to be selective in the allocation of capital, albeit without sacrificing growth.
Given this context, in December, we announced our investment plan for 2020 of more than R$ 1.7 billion. The plan incorporates logistics infrastructure and expansion projects and productivity gains, as well as investments in maintenance and safety.
We would like to thank our clients, consumers, partners, suppliers, shareholders and the society as a whole for placing your trust and confidence in us and especially our employees for the commitment and dedication in the development of Ultra Group.

Governance in Risks, Complianceand Audit
Ultrapar has an organized structure of governance for handling the themes of risks, compliance and audit, covering all the businesses.
In May 2019, the Statutory Audit and Risks Committee was set up to advise the Board of Directors in the supervision of: (1) the integrity and quality of the Company’s financial statements, (2) compliance of the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, (3) qualification and independence of the independent auditor, (4) the performance of the Company’s internal auditing functions (represented by the Risks, Compliance and Audit Department) and of the independent auditors, and (5) risk management including meeting with Management whenever it is deemed necessary. Up to the establishment of the committee, its functions were performed by the Fiscal Council, in line with the practices accepted by the SEC – Securities and Exchange Commission. As from May, the Fiscal Council began to exercise its functions exclusively as set out in the Brazilian Corporate Law.
The current composition of the Statutory Audit and Risks Committee has three members who are also independent directors sitting on Ultrapar’s Board of Directors, and one external and independent member who exercises the functions of Committee Coordinator.
With specific reference to compliance themes, Ultrapar has a Conduct Committee with an independent chairman, its members elected by the Board of Directors, and responsible for the management of the Company’s Compliance Program.
Integrated Risk Management
Ultrapar has an integrated management which consolidates and organizes the principal risks of its businesses in a matrix system, classifying them by impact and vulnerability, permitting discussion on risks in an organized manner at all levels of the Company’s management. This system and its metrics as well as the governance for updating and monitoring are officialized in the Corporate Risks Policy approved by the Board of Directors. In 2019, the Risks and Audit Committee reviewed the Risks Matrix System, which forms the basis of the risks specified in the Impact and Vulnerability Matrix having been submitted to and approved by the Board of Directors.
Complementary to the Corporate Risks Policy, the Company has specific policies for managing relevant themes, such as Conflict of Interests, Anticorruption, Financial Risks Management, Investments, Mergers and Acquisitions, Insurance and Anti-Trust issues.
Internal and External Audit
The Company has an internal audit area reporting to the Risks, Compliance and Audit Department and responsible for conducting the Sarbanes-Oxley certification, focused on controls over financial reporting, involving the annual update of several levels of control, including general IT controls and management controls. In addition, the internal audit is responsible for the execution of the Annual Activities Planning approved by the Risks and Audit Committee.
The External Audit is responsible for validating the internal controls environment for the preparation of the financial statements, validating and certifying it as established under the Sarbanes-Oxley Law, as well as being responsible for the auditing of the financial statements and guaranteeing their integrity and formalizing its opinion by issuing its quarterly and annual audit reports.
Table of Contents
Compliance
Ultrapar has a Compliance Program supervised by the Conduct Committee, comprising guidelines approved by the Board of Directors, among which the Code of Ethics. The program establishes annual themes for communication and training, such as fighting corruption, fair competition practices, conflicts of interest and harassment, among others, always aiming at strengthening the Company’s culture of integrity.
Ultra Group’s Compliance Program is evaluated biannually through a behavior assessment, carried out by an independent consultancy firm, the result being a rating of each of the businesses according to the level of maturity in compliance and including recommendation on additional measures of training and communication.
The Program also establishes a whistleblowing channel to all stakeholders where whistleblowers are guaranteed anonymity and exemption from retaliation.
The development of the Program as well as the whistleblowing channel is systematically reported to the Conduct Committee and, from time to time, to the Audit and Risks Committee, Fiscal Council and Board of Directors.
Sustainability and Safety
The Group’s companies are present in the daily lives of millions of Brazilians through Ipiranga service stations, am/pm stores, Extrafarma pharmacies, Ultragaz’s gas bottles and Oxiteno, which provide the raw materials for an infinite number of consumer goods. For fuels to be delivered at the service stations, Ultracargo has an important duty in providing the logistics infrastructure in Brazil. With such coverage, all companies conduct socio-environmental initiatives, both to minimize the specific impact of their activities, as well as to contribute to building a more sustainable society.
In 2019, Ultrapar completed its first materiality assessment from the point of view of its different stakeholders with the aim of identifying the Company’s critical issues in the environmental, social and governance dimensions (ESG). On the basis of this assessment, a Sustainability Policy will be elaborated and the priorities for action will be redefined. From 2020 we intend to adopt a new reporting structure, making for greater transparency and objectivity. In this context, Ipiranga, Ultracargo and Extrafarma have also begun their respective materiality assessments, while Ultragaz and Oxiteno have already done so in previous years.
Ultragaz
The socio-environmental projects conducted by Ultragaz can be divided into education, culture and environmental preservation with the focus on two audiences: children and young people from public institutions and women from less favored social classes.
In 2019, Ultragaz invested in more than 20 social projects with their focus on education and culture for underprivileged children and adolescents, including:Recriarte, ASA, Vocação, Pluga Cuca, Escola de MúsicaeInformática, Ultragaz Cultural, among others. Particular mention should be made to the launch of the ProjectMemória Local, in partnership with theMuseu da Pessoa andInstituto Avisa Lá. In this case, through the training of the teams at the education departments of seven cities in different states, local history is transformed into books. This project involved 1,474 students from 56 public schools and 142 educators.
Ultragaz also conducts outreach work for women implementing female empowerment projects in partnership with theAssociação Feminina de Estudos Sociais e Universitários (Afesu), with the aim of supporting socially vulnerable adolescents. In conjunction withRede Mulher Empreendedora (RME), the company sponsored training for fostering entrepreneurship and redeeming the self esteem among women victims of domestic violence.
In the Corporate Volunteer Program, worthy of mention is the participation of employees in projects run by the Junior Achievement, one of the most important entrepreneurial, environmental and business organizations in the world for the development of children and adolescents and providing guidance on such themes as education and sustainability, personal finance and ethics. Ultragaz was able to engage 357 volunteers during the year to participate in theLer é Presente, Horta na Escola, Mãos à Obra na Escola, Lendo e Aprendendoand Abre Portas Ultragazprojects, besides participating in Junior Achievement’s activities per se.

Ultragaz continued its Collect Oil Campaign: Ultragaz Collects and Soya Recycles (Campanha Junte Óleo: Ultragaz Coleta e Soya Recicla) in partnership with Bunge andInstituto Triângulo. Some of the cooking oil which is collected is used in soap manufacture and the remainder goes for the production of biodiesel. The campaign is run in the states of Ceará, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo, thanks to the capillarity of the Ultragaz operation and its reach among Brazilian households.
Ultragaz offsets carbon emissions from the itinerant projects it sponsors, in conjunction with the Green Initiative NGO (Iniciativa Verde), and as part of the Carbon Free Program, promoting the planting of trees to neutralize CO2 gas emissions.
As a result of its consistent work, 92% of its employees in the latest organizational climate survey recognized Ultragaz as a sustainable company concerned with social and environmental issues.
Ipiranga
Through its SIGA+ (Ipiranga Management System applied to Health, Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility), Ipiranga monitors and manages performance indicators for these themes for minimizing the impact of its activities, guaranteeing alignment with the benchmarks for integrated management and continuous improvement. The system is being restructured to guarantee greater efficacy and agility.
Additionally, Ipiranga has been implementing initiatives for energy efficiency. For more than 10 years now, it has an exclusive program – audited by an independent party – for managing its Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG), the “Ipiranga Zero Carbon Program”. Compensation for own emissions which cannot be reduced is conducted through the acquisition of carbon credits with international certification. Similarly, the Program offers Ipiranga’s customers the opportunity to compensate their emissions and has a dedicated site providing transparency of information therein.
Compliance with the laws, the commitment to sustainability and ethics in business relations are reflected in the Code of Ethics, and is reinforced in every relationship with the stakeholders. In alignment to these principles, Ipiranga signed up in 2013 to the National Pact for the Eradication of Slave Labor (InPACTO), in which it commits not to have commercial relations with those employing slave labor or analogous thereto in its supply chain. Ipiranga also runs awareness campaigns with truckers to combat the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents on the highways through the intermediary of thePrograma Na Mão Certa, of the international ChildhoodBrasil organization of which it is a sponsor.
Also operating in this important link in the supply chain, Ipiranga hasSaúde na Estrada, an itinerant program for promoting health which since inception has attended more than 500 thousand people in 180 municipalities in 23 states, offering free medical services such as vaccinations, body composition analysis, among others. Again, in line with the commitment to its social role, the company invests in social projects in the areas surrounding its business based on its Social Responsibility and Private Social Investment Policies.
Ipiranga fosters the strengthening of its occupational safety and valorization of life culture through a program which endeavors to guarantee adequate physical conditions, efficient procedures and safe behavior in its operations. The Occupational Safety Program includes a structured plan of investments in the reliability of the assets, engagement and training of stakeholders, making them catalysts for change. In 2019, Ipiranga launched its Communication Plan “Safety 360°”, with the “Controlled Risk, Preserved Life” theme, engaging employees, outsourced personnel and drivers through cultural activities during the year. In addition, it has developed a Business Continuity Plan with the objective of consolidating the process of crisis management, emergency attendance and operational contingency in a single structure.

Oxiteno
In 2019, Oxiteno validated its Sustainability 2030 Strategic Plan. Comprising 8 ambitions, subdivided into 28 environmental, social and economic goals, the plan is aligned to the requirements of clients, society and the United Nations Organization’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). The strategic plan can be found by accessing the website http://www.oxiteno.com.br/sustentabilidade/.
In its quest for more sustainable solutions, Oxiteno uses the Life Cycle Evaluation methodology to assist in the development of its products. Normatized under ISOs 14040 and 14044, the methodology permits the quantification of the environmental impact of a product throughout its existence from the extraction of raw materials, through the production process, during its entire existence to final disposal. In 2019, three life cycle studies were run and whenever possible, substituting the use of synthetic raw materials and petrochemical derivatives for others of vegetable origin. The company prioritizes the preparation of concentrated, biodegradable products combined with the reduction in the use of energy, water consumption and packaging.
On social issues, Oxiteno supports sponserships and private social investments for the development of communities surrounding its operations. In addition to musical ensembles, volunteer programs in schools, Oxiteno supports the Integrate Art and Life (Integrar Arte e Vida) social project in Mauá (SP) at the Cora Coralina Municiple School in partnership with the Municiple Education Department. This initiative involves about 220 students every month, stimulating the children and young people to stay on at school and complete their education through the offer of cultural as well as sporting workshops for dancing, indoor soccer and judo as extracurricular activities.
Finally, for the second consecutive year, Oxiteno is supporting theBaú das Artes project, an initiative which delivers collections with more than 300 children’s books, educational games, toys, fancy dress and musical instruments, besides training teachers to link the materials with the National Curricular Parameters. In 2019, 22 schools in the municipalities of Camaçari (BA), Mauá and Tremembé (SP), enjoyed the benefits of this project while 367 educators were trained and a potencial 8,000 children were impacted by this project.
Ultracargo
In 2019, Ultracargo launched the Environmental Code of Conduct establishing good practices to be adopted by the company and partners. The document was distributed to employees through a comprehensive communication campaign using an e-learning app. The content of the training encourages the employee to reflect on behavioral changes in the building of a society more aware. To establish and maintain the processes and tools in the areas of Health, Safety, Environment and Quality, Ultracargo has established the Management System for HSEQ, known as Vital.
Ultracargo invests to ensure its operations have the least possible impact on the environment, monitoring indicators for greenhouse gas emissions, water and energy consumption, disposal of waste and effluent and leakages. All the company’s units are ISO 14001 certified.
As social aspects, Ultracargo continues to support theTribuna de Santos newspaper’s Community in Action project, which gives visibility to projects contributing to the improvement in the lives of thousands of people living in the greater Santos area. Just as in the case of Ipiranga, Ultracargo is now also sponsoring the Childhood Brasil’sPrograma NaMão Certa initiative with the aim of combatting the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents in the Brazilian highways.
Extrafarma
In 2019, Extrafarma implemented a program for substituting lamps used in its drugstore network for LED technology, more economic and durable. As a result of this measure, the company has succeeded in reducing energy consumption for store lighting by almost 30%.
The company has also implemented a distributed energy generation project using solar energy and biogas. This initiative incentivizes the generation of clean and renewable energy with savings of approximately 15% in total energy expenditure. In 2019, the contracting of partners in the states of Maranhão, Pará and Pernambuco was concluded. The system will be installed in the state of Ceará before the end of the first half of 2020 covering 70% of the store network with distributed energy generation.
For the 4th consecutive year, in 2019 Extrafarma sponsored the CowParade event, on this occasion held in the city of Salvador, promoting local culture and social responsibility. At the end of this year’s edition, the arts were auctioned off and the entire amount raised was donated to the institutions of Sister Dulce’s Social Works (Obras Sociais Irmã Dulce), a local philanthropic entity, which is an umbrella organization for one of the largest health complexes, andHospital da Criança Martagão Gesteira, the largest exclusively pediatrics hospital in the North and the Northeast.

Development
The culture of innovation is being implemented in the businesses through strategic tools for formation, training and self-development. The Succession and Career Process enables the joint evaluation of goals, behaviors and growth potential, resulting in specific career development decisions (development of skills / behaviors, transfers between areas, promotions, mentoring, coaching, etc). Future leaders are being trained to accelerate the preparedness of potential employees to feed the leadership pipeline.
In order to train the greatest number of people possible, the Ultra companies use tools for remote training in addition to developing their employees onsite. The nimble methodology used, for example, was developed at Ipiranga through learning initiatives in partnership with Turbo (an innovation hub) andGaragem Digital. The objective was to map the challenges and support the development of new innovative businesses with transformational potential for Ipiranga and its clients. At Ultracargo, digital technologies such as IoT (Internet of Things) solutions, focused on the monitoring of the operations are designed to meet client requirements in the course of their interactions with the terminals and at other stages along the logistics chain.
Recognizing efforts made in training, Extrafarma was ranked 1st in the 14th L’Oréal’s “Counselling in the Pharmacy” 2019 award, held annually with the participation of the leading drugstore chains in Brazil, the aim being to recognize those companies offering the best customer service in the dermo cosmetics category. At Ultragaz, protagonism is strategic. The incentive for self-development of employee competencies using the online Academia system remains in place. In 2019, 50 new courses were made available involving more than 37,000 classroom hours. Ultragaz sees this process as extremely important, given that it prepares employees to grow in their careers.
Engagement
During the year, Ultrapar’s companies implemented Workplace, a mobile Facebook platform for internal communication with the employees, introducing greater modernity to the relations through technology, permitting connection and reliability in a flexible, practical, interactive, attractive and open way, democratic to all.
Aiming to accelerate the implementation of the strategy, Ultragaz has revised its organizational structure and merged the household divisions as well as creating a new diversification and expansion division. The Human Resources area, currently Organization and People Management, now reports directly to Ultragaz’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition to these changes, new forms of working are being tested, namely in the form of squads made up of multidisciplinary teams, fostering an agile methodology at Ultragaz and training more than 120 leaders.
At Ipiranga, to develop an agile and adaptable organizational culture, promote diversity and engage people with the company’s proposition, the Organization and People area have begun a cultural transformation process involving various activities. These included flexible time working for employees, installation of wifi, the launching of the Diversity Program, among others.
At the end of each quarter, Oxiteno’s leadership broadcasts to employees the results and strategy, its key achievements in the period and the next steps via a live transmission. The event is transmitted in Portuguese with simultaneous translation in English and Spanish. The transmission is watched on average by 1,700 employees. Another initiative is the XLead for Oxiteno’s executives worldwide, a meeting for aligning the principal strategic themes. In all, approximately 100 people from different countries were present at the event which is held annually. In 2019, the core themes of the presentations of company executives and guest speakers were the digital and cultural transformation.
At Ultracargo, safety is a shared responsibility and taken onboard by all employees. In this context, the Ultracargo DNA program seeks to reinforce the safety culture and operational discipline among employees so that the company can reach the Interdependent stage on the Bradley Curve.
In 2019, Extrafarma launched its Diversity Program to improve empathy with the customers and enrich the decision-making process. More diverse teams and a set of skills, experiences and broader points of view were instrumental in better understanding the customers, broadening visions through the exchange of ideas and delivering better and better services and solutions. The program was launched on four fronts: People with Special Needs, Gender, Generations and Cultural Diversity.

2019 marked the first year of the new federal administration. The items of privatization, de-bureaucratization and structural reforms are indicative of the new economic team’s commitment to adjust the principal elements in the fiscal result. Congressional approval of social security reform was a major advance in this direction.
Weak inflation permitted four consecutive cuts in the Selic basic interest rate, closing 2019 at 4.50%, its lowest level on record. The IBOVESPA stock index posted an appreciation of 32%, driven by the increased demand for higher yielding assets. The average exchange rate for the year was R$ 3.95/US$ compared with R$ 3.65/US$ in 2018, an increase of 8%.
The macroeconomic scenario proved to be a challenging one in 2019. Brazilian economic activity took time to gain momentum and is expected to report a growth in GDP of 1.1%, below the 2.5% forecasted by the market early in the year. Gross debt is expected to reach 81% of the GDP compared with 77% at the end of 2018, illustrating that despite the initiatives adopted, debt is still growing faster than GDP, continuing to pressure the country risk.
Market outlook for 2020 is a GDP growth of 2.3%* with a benign inflation in the region of 3.3%* and a low Selic rate.
In relation to the fuel distribution market, ANP (Brazilian Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency) data shows sales volume rising by 4% in 2019, after remaining flat from 2013 to 2018, a reflection of the macroeconomic scenario. The recovery in the economy brings with it an outlook for an increase in the vehicle fleet and a decline in unemployment, both variables bearing a close correlation with fuel demand for light vehicles (Otto cycle).
In retail pharmacy, Abrafarma (Brazilian Association of Pharmacies and Drugstores) reported gross revenues of R$ 53 billion compared with R$ 48 billion in 2018 (+11%), with a net addition of 354 drugstores in Brazil.
At Oxiteno, prices of the principal commodities continue to be influenced by growing global supply and reflected in decreasing prices. In 2019, ethylene, palm kernel oil and MEG (Far East) reported declines of 13%, 36% and 33%, respectively.
The LPG market which had recorded stability in the past few years remained flat in 2019, volumes largely unchanged, with a slight drop of 0.4% year on year, comprising a decline of 2.4% in the first half of the year but an increase of 1.6% in the second half of the year.

Ipiranga
Ipiranga’s sales volume fell 1% in 2019, reflecting greater competition in the market, especially in the large customers segment, with a decline in diesel volumes of 4%, attenuated by an increase of 3% in fuel for light vehicles (Otto cycle). Ethanol sales volume recorded growth of 14%, while gasoline volumes were off 3%.
Net revenues at Ipiranga declined 1%, principally due to lower sales volume. Cost of goods sold was also down by 1%, due to oscillations in the average unit prices of fuels.
Sales, general and administrative expenses fell 3%, due mainly to management initiatives to reduce costs and expenses, notably freight, provisioning for losses on doubtful accounts and marketing programs in addition to lower expenses at ICONIC, where additional expenses were incurred in 2018 with the integration of the businesses.
Other operating results increased 50%, mainly reflecting extraordinary PIS/COFINS tax credits registered in 2019.
Ipiranga’s EBITDA in 2019 amounted to R$ 2,231 million, a year-over-year growth of 9%, mainly due to the reduction in expenses and non-recurring PIS/COFINS tax credits. Considering IFRS 16 adjustments and the segregation of the Holding’s expenses, Ipiranga’s EBITDA in 2019 was R$ 2,487 million.
Ipiranga invested a total of R$ 738 million in 2019, allocated to maintenance and expansion of the service station and franchise network as well as expansion of the company’s logistics infrastructure. Out of total investments, R$ 341 million was expended on property, plant and equipment and on intangible assets, R$ 327 million on contractual assets with clients (exclusive rights) and R$ 26 million on acquisitions, R$ 22 million in initial upfront costs of entitlement assets and R$ 21 million in drawdowns of financing to clients and advance payments of rentals, net of repayments.
Oxiteno
Specialty chemicals sales volume dropped 4% with lower sales across various segments due to the modest performance of the economy in Oxiteno’s Latin American markets, in addition to a decrease in exports. Commodities’ sales volume was 7% lower compared with 2018, when Oxiteno posted above average sales in this segment.
Oxiteno reported net revenues 10% lower due to a 13% decline in average dollar prices, combined with lower sales volume and in spite of the 8% devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar (R$ 0.29/US$).
Cost of goods sold decreased 6% in 2019 due to a decline in US Dollar costs of raw materials particularly ethylene and palm kernel oil combined with a reduction in sales volume, attenuated by the 8% devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar (R$ 0.29/US$).
Sales, general and administrative expenses were flat in 2019, due to lower payroll expenses and international freight charges in line with the decline in volumes in the period, attenuated by the effect of the 8% devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar on expenses of the international operations.

Total sales volume fell 1% in 2019, reflecting weaker demand and the temporary interruption in the supply of LPG, partially offset by the addition of new resellers and growth in the sale of special gases.
Net revenues at Ultragaz increased 1% in 2019, mainly due to LPG price readjustments. The cost of goods sold registered a reduction of 1%, due to lower sales volume in the period.

Net revenues grew 10% in 2019, driven by the increase in handling and contractual readjustments. The cost of services provided posted a growth of 11% due to higher one-off expenditures with maintenance, materials, services and payroll linked to the expansion in capacity at the Santos terminal.

Extrafarma opened 29 new stores and closed 46 in 2019, a reduction of 4% in the network. At the end of the period maturing stores (with three years or less of operations) accounted for 45% of the network, a reflection of the pace of expansion in recent years.
Gross revenues increased by 2% in 2019 as a result of sales growth both in the wholesale and retail segments due mainly to the annual readjustment in medicine prices and a greater average number of stores, partially offset by the intensely competitive trading environment and the closing down of underperforming stores.
The cost of goods sold rose 3% in 2019 due to sales growth and the annual readjustment in medicine prices. Gross profit reached R$ 598 million, a drop of 1%, due to a very competitive trading environment.

Moreover, it was also recorded animpairment of goodwill on the acquisition amounting to R$ 593 million in 2019, with no cash effect, as a consequence of the worse than expected results compared to the original business plan.
EBITDA at Extrafarma amounted to R$ 660 million negative. Excluding the effects of impairmentand the closing of underperforming stores, EBITDA would be R$ 47 million negative, in line with the same item for 2018, a function mainly of the effects related to the stabilization of the new retailing system in 2018 and non-recurring credits in 2019, attenuated by the competitive environment. Considering IFRS 16 adjustments and the segregation of the Holding’s expenses, EBITDA in 2019 would have been R$ 566 million negative or R$ 47 million, excluding impairment charges and the write-off of investments.
Extrafarma invested R$ 89 million in the year. The amount was allocated in large part to the new distribution center in São Paulo – unveiled in August – translating into reduced logistics expenses and a better level of service for operations in the state. Investment was also expended on store opening and remodeling together with IT projects.

10.1—Management discussion & analysis:
Introduction
You should read this discussion together with our consolidated financial statements, filed with the CVM on February 19, 2020, including the notes thereto, and other financial information included elsewhere in this document.
a. General financial and equity conditions
Company overview
With more than 80 years of history, Ultrapar occupies positions of leadership in the five business segments in which it operates:
• | the LPG distribution business, conducted by Ultragaz; |
• | the fuels distribution business, conducted by Ipiranga; |
• | the chemical and petrochemical business, conducted by Oxiteno; |
• | the storage for liquid bulk business, conducted by Ultracargo; and |
• | the retail pharmacy business, conducted by Extrafarma. |
Ipiranga is one of the largest fuel and lubricants networks in the country, Ipiranga offers an increasingly complete and digitized network of more than 7 thousand service stations as well as one of the largest convenience store franchises in Brazil, the am/pm franchise, with 2.4 thousand stores and four distribution centers. It also has the major loyalty program in Brazil, KMV, with more than 32 million participants at the end of 2019. Oxiteno occupies the leadership position in Latin America in the production of surfactants and specialty chemicals and recently started operating a plant in the United States increasingly expanding its international footprint. In addition to this new industrial unit, it operates six plants in Brazil, three in Mexico and one in Uruguay. Oxiteno has commercial offices in Argentina, Belgium, China and Colombia. Ultragaz is a pioneer and leader in the domestic market for distribution of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), it is also a benchmark in innovation and in creating new solutions for the use of the product. It has a distribution infrastructure of 18 filling bases, 17 satellite bases, a network of 5.3 thousand Ultragaz resellers and approximately 55 thousand clients in the bulk segment. It has a modern research and development laboratory dedicated to special gases, a segment which it has a leadership position. Ultracargo is the largest provider of storage for liquid bulk in Brazil, with a presence in six ports at strategic locations in the Northeast, Southeast and South regions. Extrafarma operates in pharmaceutical distribution and retailing with 416 stores, three distribution centers and more than 6 thousand employees. With its roots in the states of the North and the Northeast regions, today it is located in 11 Brazilian states.
2019
We began the year with an optimistic view in relation to the economic growth of Brazil and its positive effects on the business environment, an outlook which already proved unrealistic in the first few months of the year given the delay of executing the federal administration’s reform package. Despite this, even with lower growth than initially anticipated, there were important signs indicating a more dynamic macroeconomic environment, with lower interest rates, inflation under control and further announcements of additional privatizations and tender bids.
We ended 2019 with an Adjusted EBITDA of R$ 3.1 billion, practically stable in relation to 2018, with an operational cash generation after investments of R$ 1.7 billion and a net income of R$ 906 million, of which R$ 479 million were paid out via dividends to our shareholders. These amounts exclude IFRS 16, the impairment of R$ 593 million with respect to the goodwill generated on the acquisition of Extrafarma, and a further write down of R$ 14 million on the sale of Oxiteno Andina and the Conduct and Adjustment Agreement (“TAC”) of R$ 66 million at Ultracargo. Ultrapar closed 2019 with total assets of R$ 29.7 billion and total equity of R$ 9.9 billion, both excluding the effects of IFRS 16.
In 2019, we extended our debt profile, raising US$ 500 million in notes in the international market with aten-year maturity, and using the proceeds for liability management. The reduction in our financial leverage remains an important objective and, in this context, we continue to be selective in the allocation of capital, albeit without sacrificing growth.

2018
A series of atypical events characterized 2018, reducing the stability and predictability of operations in several sectors. Our results in the first quarter of 2018 were impacted by the contractual fine following the Brazilian Anti-Trust Authority’s (CADE) rejection of the Liquigás acquisition. In addition, competition in the trading environment for the fuels distribution sector continued intense given fuel imports during the period. The second quarter saw both the truckers’ strike—which brought the country to a standstill and affected almost all the sectors of the economy weakening confidence among both consumers and business. However, following the outcome of the general elections, confidence levels resumed growth.
Economic recovery prior to the strike was enough to allow two further reductions of 0.25 p.p. each in the basic rate of interest, which was 7.0% at the end of 2017 and has remained stable at 6.5% per annum since March 2018. The average Real/Dollar rate in 2018 was R$ 3.65/US$ compared with R$ 3.19/US$ in 2017, a 14% increase.
The decision of members of OPEC+ to cut oil production was sufficient to drive up prices until September. From October, oil prices began to decline with the announcement of increased output in the United States and continuing high inventory levels. At the end of the year, a barrel of oil was priced at US$ 53/barrel (Brent), a 20% drop in the year.
In 2018, the number of registered light vehicles resumed growth totaling 2.5 million, a year-over-year increase of 14%. ABIQUIM data for chemicals for industrial applications recorded a drop of 1% in 2018 in National Apparent Consumption. In the retail pharmacy sector, Abrafarma members’ data shows that sales grew by 8% in 2018.
To meet this scenario of challenges and uncertainties, Ultrapar revisited its investment plan seeking to be more selective and assertive in capital allocation, preserving its cash and adjusting its existing structures in readiness for a resumption in growth. As a consequence, the Company ended the year with increased liquidity ratios compared with 2017 and a reduction in leverage compared to the peak of 2.9x recorded in September 2018.

After two difficult years in deep recession, Brazilian GDP started 2017 in a downward trend, with gradual recovery of the economic activity throughout the year. The early expectations on the economy resumption were gradually confirmed by an increase in real average income and stable unemployment rates. The beginning of the economic situation upturn allowed continued reduction of the basic interest rate, which dropped from 13.75% at year end 2016 to 7.00% in 2017. The average price of the US Dollar relative to the Brazilian Real in 2017 was R$ 3.19vis-à-vis R$ 3.49 in 2016, a 9% drop. After four years of decreasing indicators, the number of light vehicles registered resumed growth and reached 2.2 million units, up 9% from 2016. The decision of OPEC members to reduce oil production until November 2018 influenced the international oil price, which was US$ 55/barrel (Brent) when 2017 began and reached year end at US$ 67/barrel, up 21%. In the petrochemical market, ABIQUIM data show a 6% increase in National Apparent Consumption in 2017. As for pharmaceuticals retailing, Abrafarma data show 9% bigger gross revenue in 2017. In 2017, Ultrapar’s net sales and services amounted to R$ 80.0 billion, EBITDA amounted to R$ 4,063.5 million and net earnings amounted to R$ 1,573.9 million. Net debt to EBITDA ratio in the end of 2017 was 1.8 times. Ultrapar ended 2017 with total assets of R$ 28.3 billion and shareholders’ equity of R$ 9.7 billion.

c.Capacity to meet our financial commitments
Our principal sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financings. We believe that these sources are sufficient to satisfy our current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt and payment of dividends.
Periodically, we assess the opportunities for acquisitions and investments. We consider different types of investments, either directly or through joint ventures, or associated companies, and we finance such investments using cash generated from our operations, debt financing, through capital increases or through a combination of these methods.
We believe we have sufficient working capital to satisfy our current needs. In addition to the cash flow generated from our operations during the year, as of December 31, 2019, we had R$ 5,712.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. The gross indebtedness due between January and December 2020, including estimated interests on loans, totals R$ 1,532.0 million. Furthermore, the investment plan for 2020 totals R$ 1,770.7 million.

To calculate the estimated interest on loans some macroeconomic assumptions were used, including averaging for the period the following: (i) DI of % 4.40% to 2020, 4.95% to 2021, 5.57% to 2022 and 6.01% to 2023, (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 4,05 in 2020, R$ 4.17 in 2021, R$ 4.33 in 2022, R$ 4.52 in 2023, R$ 4.73 in 2024, R$ 4.93 in 2025, R$ 5.13 in 2026, R$ 5.34 in 2027, R$ 5.56 in 2028 and R$ 5.78 in 2029 (iii) TJLP of 5.57%, (iv)IGP-M of 4.18% in 2020, 3.99% in 2021, 3.75% in 2022, 3.58% as from 2023 and (v) IPCA of 3.46% in 2020, 3.45% in 2021, 3.50% in 2022 and 3.25% as from 2023 (source: B3, Bulletin Focus and financial institutions). |
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 and DI x IPCA contracts quoted on B3 as of December 28, 2019 and on the futures curve of LIBOR (ICE – Intercontinental Exchange) on December 31, 2019. In the table above, only hedging instruments expected to generate losses at the time of settlement were considered. |
See “Item 10.1.f. Indebtedness level and debt profile”, “Item 10.8.b. Otheroff-balance sheet arrangements” and “Item 10.10.a.i. Quantitative and qualitative description of the investments in progress and the estimated investments” for further information.
We expect to meet these cash requirements through a combination of cash generated from operating activities and cash generated by financing activities, including new debt financing and the refinancing of some of our indebtedness.
d.Sources for financing working capital and investments innon-current assets
We reported cash flow from operating activities of R$ 2,924.9 million, R$ 2,889.0 million and R$ 1,739.0 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In 2019, we continue to implement initiatives to optimize working capital and be more selective in capital allocation, which contributed to stabilize the cash flow of Ultrapar comparing to 2018, despite the lower result. The increase observed in 2018 is mainly due to optimization in the businesses working capital as well as higher compensation of tax credits during the year. In 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was R$774.6 million lower than that of 2016 (31% decrease), mainly due to the 6% reduction of the Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year and the increase in investment in working capital given the volatility observed in LPG and fuels’ acquisition prices.

Table of Contents
Cash flow from investing activities was of R$ 1,835.3 million in 2019, of which R$ 555.4 million in financial investments net of redemptions and R$ 1,279.9 million in acquisition of to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, capital increase in invested companies and initial direct costs of right to use assets, net of disposals. Cash flow from investing activities was of R$$ 3,177.6 million in 2018, of which R$ 1,669.9 million in financial investments net of redemptions (reallocation of resources from cash equivalents, maintaining their immediate liquidity), and R$ 1,507.7 million in acquisition of companies, additions to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and capital increase in invested companies, net of disposals. Cash flow from investing activities was R$ 1,371.8 million in 2017, of which R$ 60.9 million in net redemptions from financial investments, and R$ 1,432.6 million in additions to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and capital increase in invested companies, net of disposals. Besides that, in 2019, 2018 and 2017 were invested R$ 330.1 million, R$ 390.2 million and R$ 529.7 million respectively on contractual assets with clients (exclusive rights).
Net cash from financing activities totaled a cash usage of R$ 2,922.2 million for 2019 and R$ 801.0 million for 2018, and a cash generation of R$ 340.3 million for 2017. In 2019, cash flow used by financing activities decreased in R$ 2,121.2 million compared to 2018, mainly due to lower fund-raising of new loans and higher amortization of interest, specially the installment related to a financing contracted in 2013 with bullet repayment of interest at maturity. In 2018, cash flow used by financing activities decreased in R$ 1,141.3 million compared to 2017, mainly due to the growth of use of resources for amortization of debt. In 2017, cash flow used by financing activities decreased in R$ 588.0 million compared to 2016, mainly due to the growth of use of resources for amortization of debt, partially offset by an increase of R$ 833.8 million, which strengthened the cash position.
Accordingly, cash and cash equivalents totaled R$ 2,115.4 million in 2019, R$ 3,939.0 million in 2018 and R$ 5,002.0 million in 2017.
e.Sources for financing working capital and investments innon-current assets to be used in case of deficiencies in liquidity
In 2019, 2018 and 2017, we did not present deficiencies in liquidity. We believe that Ultrapar has own resources and operational cash generation sufficient to finance its needs for working capital and investments estimated for 2020. In addition, if necessary, we have access to third party financing resources.
f.Indebtedness level and debt profile
Our total indebtedness, considering all current liabilities andnon-current liabilities, dropped by 4%, from R$ 20,699.4 million as of December 31, 2018 to R$ 19,818.6 million as of December 31, 2019 excluding IFRS 16 adjustments. Considering IFRS 16 adjustments, the total liabilities in 2019 was R$ 21,360.3 million.

The purpose of including Adjusted EBITDA information is to provide a measure used by the management for internal assessment of our operating results, besides being a directly or indirectly related measure to a portion of our employee profit sharing plan. 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 item 10.1.iv and in note 16 to the financial statements. We believe Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes net financial expenses (income), income tax and social contribution 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. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, as a measure of operating performance, as a substitute for cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses, income taxes and depreciation and amortization.

Ipiranga’s sales volume fell 1% in 2019, reflecting greater competition in the market, especially in the large customers segment, with a decline in diesel volumes of 4%, attenuated by an increase of 3% in fuel for light vehicles (Otto cycle). For Oxiteno, specialty chemicals sales volume dropped 4% with lower sales across various segments due to the modest performance of the economy in Oxiteno’s Latin American markets, in addition to a decrease in exports. Commodities’ sales volume was 7% lower compared with 2018, when Oxiteno posted above average sales in this segment. Ultragaz’s total sales volume fell 1% in 2019, reflecting weaker demand and the temporary interruption in the supply of LPG, partially offset by the addition of new resellers and growth in the sale of special gases. Ultracargo’s average storage in 2019 increased 3% year-over-year mainly due to greater fuel handling at Suape, Itaqui and Santos terminals. Extrafarma opened 29 new stores and closed 46 in 2019, a reduction of 4% in the network. At the end of the period maturing stores (with three years or less of operations) accounted for 45% of the network, a reflection of the pace of expansion in recent years.

¹ | Gross revenue |
Ultrapar reported net revenues from sales and services of R$ 89,298 million in 2019, a decline of 2% compared with 2018, mainly the result of a decrease in revenues at Ipiranga and Oxiteno. Ipiranga’s net revenues fell 1% in 2019, principally due to lower sales volume. Oxiteno reported net revenues 10% lower due to a 13% decline in average dollar prices, combined with lower sales volume and in spite of the 8% devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar (R$ 0.29/US$). Net revenues at Ultragaz increased 1% in 2019, mainly due to LPG price readjustments. Ultracargo’s net revenues grew 10% in 2019, driven by the increase in handling and contractual readjustments. Extrafarma’s gross revenues increased by 2% in 2019 as a result of sales growth both in the wholesale and retail segments due mainly to the annual readjustment in medicine prices and a greater average number of stores, partially offset by the intensely competitive trading environment and the closing down of underperforming stores.

Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold and services provided was R$ 83,201 million in 2019, a reduction of 2% in relation to 2018, due to the decrease in costs at Ipiranga, Oxiteno and Ultragaz. Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold was also down by 1%, due to oscillations in the average unit prices of fuels. The cost of goods sold at Oxiteno decreased 6% in 2019 due to a decline in US Dollar costs of raw materials particularly ethylene and palm kernel oil combined with a reduction in sales volume, attenuated by the 8% devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar (R$ 0.29/US$). Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold registered a reduction of 1%, due to lower sales volume in the period. The cost of services provided by Ultracargo was up 11% due to higherone-off expenditures with maintenance, materials, services and payroll linked to the expansion in capacity at the Santos terminal. The cost of goods sold at Extrafarma rose 3% in 2019 due to sales growth and the annual readjustment in medicine prices.
Gross profit
Ultrapar registered a gross profit of R$ 6,097 million in 2019, a 1% reduction compared to 2018, due to lower gross profit at Oxiteno and Extrafarma.

Ultrapar’s general, administrative expenses with sales and marketing recorded an increase of 3%, due to the effects of inflation on expenses and specific factors of each one of the businesses. Ipiranga’s selling, general and administrative expenses fell 3%, due mainly to management initiatives to reduce costs and expenses, notably freight, provisioning for losses on doubtful accounts and marketing programs in addition to lower expenses at ICONIC, where additional expenses were incurred in 2018 with the integration of the businesses. Oxiteno’s selling, general and administrative expenses were flat in 2019, due to lower payroll expenses and international freight charges, in line with the decline in volumes in the period, attenuated by the effect of the 8% devaluation of the Real against the US Dollar on expenses of the international operations. Ultragaz’s selling, general and expenses recorded an increase of 14% in the year due to provisions for losses on doubtful accounts in 2019 compared to a reversal in 2018. Ultracargo’s selling, general and administrative expenses were 18% up due mainly to higher payroll expenses and thenon-recurring effect of receipt of credits in 2018 relating to the incorrect collection of a port management fee in the amount of R$ 8 million. Extrafarma’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6% in 2019, reflecting higher levels of depreciation, following investments made in recent years and the impact of closing down underperforming stores.
Depreciation and amortization
Total costs and expenses with depreciation and amortization in 2019 was R$ 1,206 million, a growth of 2% compared with 2018, due to investments in the period.
Other operating income
Ultrapar reported net revenue of R$ 180 million in 2019, an increase of 212% compared with 2018, reflecting the booking of tax credits, attenuated by the TAC at Ultracargo.
Income from disposal of assets
A total of R$ 32 million with expenses on the sale of plant, property and equipment due mainly to thewrite-off of investments due to the closing of stores in the amount of R$ 19 million and to the assetwrite-off at Oxiteno Andina of R$ 14 million in 2019.
Impairment of assets
A total of R$ 593 million related to the impairment of the goodwill generated on the acquisition of Extrafarma, with no cash effect, a function of lower results than initially planned.
Operating income
Ultrapar posted R$ 1,230 million in operating income in 2019, down 35% from 2018 because of the lower operating income reported by Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Extrafarma.
Financial result
Ultrapar’s financial result was a net expense of R$ 380 million in 2019, R$ 267 million greater than recorded in 2018, due principally to the booking in 2018 of interest on tax credits with respect to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS/COFINS tax calculation, in the amount of R$ 153 million, and the effects of FX variation.

Net income
For a better comparability of 2019 and 2018 results and an analysis of the actual performance of Ultrapar and its businesses, we excluded the followingnon-recurring items: in 2018; penalty fee of R$ 286 million following the rejection of the proposed acquisition of Liquigás and tax credits due to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS/COFINS tax calculation base at Oxiteno for the net amount of R$ 186 million in EBITDA and R$ 153 million in financial result; in 2019: TAC of R$ 66 million at Ultracargo, impairment at Extrafarma of R$ 593 million and assetwrite-off at Oxiteno Andina of R$ 14 million. Excluding these items, Ultrapar posted net income, of R$ 906 million in 2019, a year-over-year reduction of 13%, mainly reflecting the reduction in EBITDA in the period and higher financial expenses. Considering IFRS 16, Ultrapar’s net income excludingnon-recurring items in 2019 was R$ 869 million.

Table of Contents
Sales volume at Ipiranga rose 1% in 2018, with diesel increasing 2%, in line with the gradual recovery in the economy. Conversely, fuel volume for light vehicles (Otto cycle) was 1% less year-over-year, declining until July before resuming growth during the second half. Record ethanol production in 2018 contributed to the reduction in its prices and, consequently, drove the 45% increase in sales while gasoline sales volume recorded a decline of 14%. For Oxiteno, an increase in the demand for commodities, whose volumes rose 8%, together with the 5% reduction in specialty chemical volumes, resulted in an overall reduction of 3% in sales volume compared with 2017, a year Oxiteno reported record sales. Despite the increase in sales volume from the new plant in the USA following its startup in September, export volumes fell 4% in 2018 due to reduced demand from Mercosur countries, notably Argentina. Sales volume in the domestic market also fell 2% compared with 2017. Ultragaz’s total sales volume was down 1% in 2018, in line with the decline in the overall Brazilian market. While volume was flat year-over-year in the bottled segment, the bulk segment posted a reduction of 3%, principally due to the programmed reduction of an industrial client. Total average storage at Ultracargo was up 5% due to increased handling activity in Santos, reflecting a partial resumption of its operations in June 2017, and increased ethanol handling in Brazilian ports, notwithstanding the reduction in fuel imports in 2018. Extrafarma opened 68 new stores and closed 29 in 2018, a 10% expansion (a net increase of 39 stores) in the network.

¹ | Gross revenue |
Ultrapar reported net revenues from sales and services of R$ 90,698 million in 2018, a year-over-year growth of 14%, as a consequence of the increase in revenues at all businesses. Ipiranga posted an increase of 14% in net revenues, due principally to: (i) movements in the average costs of diesel and gasoline which recorded consecutive increases from January through September, in line with international benchmark prices and the devaluation of the Real against the US dollar; (ii) an increase in fuel value-added taxes (PIS/COFINS) in July 2017; and (iii) the strategy of constant innovation in services and convenience at the service station, creating greater customer satisfaction and loyalty. Oxiteno’s net revenues were up 20%, principally due to the 14% devaluation in the Real against the US dollar as well as an increase in the average price in US dollars of 8%, in line with the year-over-year increase in the cost of raw materials. These factors offset the effect of lower sales volumes and the greater share of commodities in the sales mix. Ultragaz’s net revenues were up 16% in 2018, largely due to readjustments in bottled and bulk LPG costs in the refineries and the differentiation and innovation strategies adopted. Ultracargo’s net revenues rose 13% in 2018, due to: (i) increased average storage following the partial resumption of activities at the Santos terminal; (ii) improved productivity at Ultracargo; and (iii) contractual readjustments for inflation. Extrafarma’s gross revenues were up 8% in 2018 due to an 11% increase in retail sales, the result of an expanded store network and the higher average number of stores. This growth was partially compensated by a 21% drop in revenues from the wholesale segment and an increase in competition in the sector. In June 2018, the Company replaced its retail IT system, temporarily affecting both retail and wholesale operations during the implementation and stabilization period.

Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold and services provided was R$ 84,537 million in 2018, up 17% from 2017 as a result of growth in all businesses. Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold was up 17%, due mainly to shifts in the costs of diesel and gasoline. The cost of goods sold at Oxiteno rose 17% in 2018, due to: (i) the increase in the cost of raw materials, principally ethylene; (ii) the 14% devaluation in the Real relative to the US dollar; and (iii) costs relating to the startup of the new industrial unit in the USA. Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold was up 21%, mainly due to the higher cost of LPG in the refineries. The cost of services provided by Ultracargo was up 12%, principally due to higher expenditures with rentals, payroll, contracting of third party services in Santos and tankage maintenance services at the terminals in addition to the payment of higher property taxes in 2018. The cost of goods sold at Extrafarma increased by 11% in 2018, mainly due to higher sales volume and the annual readjustment in pharmaceutical prices authorized by the CMED.
Gross profit
Ultrapar posted a gross profit of R$ 6,161 million in 2018, down 9% compared with 2017 due to a decline in aggregate gross profits at Ipiranga and Ultragaz.
Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses
(R$ million) | 2018 | 2017 | D (%) 2018 – 2017 | |||
Ipiranga | 2,149.8 | 2,018.0 | 7% | |||
Oxiteno | 735.5 | 668.0 | 10% | |||
Ultragaz | 575.7 | 644.5 | 11% | |||
Ultracargo | 116.7 | 112.7 | 4% | |||
Extrafarma | 716.7 | 623.3 | 15% |
Ultrapar’s general, administrative, sales and commercial expenses totaled R$ 4,297 million in 2018, 6% up on 2017 due to the effects of inflation on expenses and specific factors from each business unit. Ipiranga’s selling general and administrative expenses rose 7%, principally due to the consolidation of expenses relating to ICONIC (addition of expenses from Chevron’s lubricants operation and extraordinary expenses relating to the startup of the joint operation itself), which initiated in December 2017. If the expenses with the ICONIC business were excluded then sales, general and administrative expenses would have remained flat compared to 2017, as a result of initiatives adopted for reducing expenses in the light of the unfavorable operating environment in 2018. Oxiteno’s selling, general and administrative expenses increased 10%, principally due to the effect of the devaluation of the Real on expenses with international operations as well as higher payroll expenses. Ultragaz’s selling, general and administrative expenses fell 11% in 2018, the result of initiatives for reducing expenses and improved efficiencies such as lower marketing and freight expenses, mainly due to the gradual shift from CIF to FOB delivery method among its clients, as well as lower expenses with strategic consultancies and lower loss provisions. Ultracargo’s selling, general and administrative expenses were up 4% in 2018. The increase reflected: (i) higher payroll expenses due to annual salary adjustments and increased variable remuneration, in line with improved results; and (ii) higher outlays with strategic consultancies and operational safety, but attenuated by reimbursement of an incorrectly charged port management fee in previous fiscal years. Extrafarma’s selling, general and administrative expenses were up 15% in 2018, due to the 19% greater average number of stores. Excluding the effect of the new stores, sales, general and administrative expenses would have declined by 3%, principally due to the Company’s initiatives implemented for productivity gains and reducing expenses, notably in payroll and travel expenses as well as acquiring fees.
Depreciation and amortization
Total costs and expenses with depreciation and amortization in 2018 amounted to R$ 1,184 million, up 1% from 2017 due to the investments made in the period. The above-mentioned amount includes amortization of contractual assets with clients – exclusive rights.
Other operating income
In 2018, Ultrapar recorded net revenues of R$ 58 million, 3% down on 2017, due to: (i) thebreak-up fee due after CADE’s rejection of the proposed acquisition of Liquigás, and (ii) recognition of tax credits in favor of Oxiteno with respect to the exclusion of the ICMS sales tax from the calculation base for PIS and COFINS taxes.

Table of Contents
Income from disposal of assets
In 2018, Ultrapar registered a net expense on property disposals of R$ 22 million compared to a net expense of R$ 2 million in 2017, the result of the writing down of IT assets at all the businesses and a more rigorous selection ofnon-performing drugstores at Extrafarma for closure, attenuated by the sale of real estate by Ipiranga.
Operating income
Ultrapar posted R$ 1,899 million in operating income in 2018, down 32% from 2017 because of the lower operating income reported by Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Extrafarma.
Financial result
Ultrapar’s financial result was a net expense of R$ 114 million in 2018, down R$ 361 million from the net expenses registered in 2017 despite the increase in net debt, due mainly to (i) the lower Interbank (CDI) interest rate in the period, (ii) the financial income from the constitution of tax credits at Oxiteno with the exclusion of the ICMS sales tax from the PIS/COFINS taxes calculation base, and (iii) the effects of the depreciation of Ultrapar’s share over the subscription warrants issued in the association with Extrafarma.
Net income
Ultrapar’s consolidated net income in 2018 was R$ 1,132 million, a reduction of 26% in relation to 2017, principally due to the decline in EBITDA for the period, partially compensated by the lower net financial expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
(R$ million) | 2018 | 2017 | D (%) 2018 – 2017 | |||
Ipiranga | 2,052.4 | 3,066.8 | 33% | |||
Oxiteno | 625.4 | 295.9 | 111% | |||

Extrafarma | (46.8) | 23.1 | na |
Ultrapar’s consolidated Adjusted EBITDA reached R$ 3,069 million in 2018, a reduction of 23% compared to 2017. Ipiranga’s Adjusted EBITDA in 2018 amounted to R$ 2,052 million, 33% lower than 2017, principally due to: (i) the truckers’ strike and its impact on sales volumes, variation in margins and higher costs andnon-recurring expenses in the period; (ii) the extraordinary expenses with consolidation and startup of the ICONIC operations; and (iii) the movements in fuel costs during 2018. Oxiteno’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 625 million in 2018, an increase of 111% compared with 2017, in spite of lower sales volume. The increase is largely explained by (i) the constitution of tax credits, with a net effect of R$ 186 million in EBITDA, and (ii) the depreciation of R$ 0.46/US$ in the average Real/US dollar exchange rate in 2018. If the tax credits were excluded, Oxiteno would have still reported 48% growth in EBITDA in 2018. Ultragaz’s EBITDA was R$ 258 million, 41% lower than 2017. Excluding the impact of the above-mentionedbreak-up fee and TCC, the Company’s EBITDA would have grown by 4%, largely reflecting the initiatives for reducing costs and expenses despite lower sales volumes. Ultracargo’s EBITDA was up 44% to R$ 178 million in 2018 due to: (i) greater handling activity at the terminals; (ii) contractual readjustments; and (iii) residual effects of the fire in April 2015 at the Santos Port terminal with a negative impact of R$ 39 million in 2017. Extrafarma recorded a R$ 47 million negative EBITDA compared with R$ 23 million in 2017 due to: (i) the impacts caused by the implementation and stabilization of the new retail management system; (ii) thenon-recurring event involving a more rigorous selection of stores for closure in the third quarter of 2018; (iii) the greater number of new and still maturing stores and (iv) increased competition in the sector.

The purpose of including Adjusted EBITDA information is to provide a measure used by the management for internal assessment of our operating results, besides being a directly or indirectly related measure to a portion of our employee profit sharing plan. 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 item 10.1.iv and in note 15 to the financial statements. We believe Adjusted 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 Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies, and may not be comparable, thereby limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because EBITDA excludes net financial expense (income), income tax and social contribution, depreciation and amortization and amortization of contractual assets with customers—exclusive rights (Ipiranga) it provides an indicator of general economic performance that is not affected by debt restructurings, fluctuations in interest rates or changes in income tax and social contribution, depreciation and amortization and amortization of contractual assets with customers—exclusive rights (Ipiranga). Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under accounting practices adopted in Brazil or IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income, as a measure of operating performance, as a substitute for cash flows from operations or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has material limitations that impair its value as a measure of a company’s overall profitability since it does not address certain ongoing costs of our business that could significantly affect profitability such as financial expenses and income taxes and depreciation and amortization.
Overview on sales volume
2017 | 2016 | D (%) 2017 – 2016 | ||||
Ipiranga (000 m³) | 23,458 | 23,507 | 0% | |||
Oxiteno (000 tons) | 790 | 738 | 7% | |||
Ultragaz (000 tons) | 1,746 | 1,760 | -1% | |||
Ultracargo (000 m³) | 724 | 672 | 8% | |||
Extrafarma (# of stores) | 394 | 315 | 25% |
Ipiranga’s sales volume remained stable compared to total sales in 2016 with a decrease in volume in the first half of the year and increasing volume in the second half. Despite the increase in fuel prices over the course of the year, the volume of light-vehicle fuels sold (Otto cycle) was up 1%, impacted by fleet expansion. In line with the economy’s performance, the volume of Diesel only began to increase in the second half, and reached year end at an accumulated reduction of 2%. In 2017, Oxiteno posted record-breaking sales volume, up 7% from 2016. This came as a result of 16% and 5% increases in the volumes of commodities and specialty chemicals, respectively, reflecting thepre-marketing volume sold to USA due to the new plant in Pasadena, along with bigger growth of internal market than the recovery of Brazil’s economy. Ultragaz’s total sales volume was down 1% in 2017. Despite the stable sales volume in the bottled segment, due to investments to add new resellers, the bulk segment posted a 3% reduction, explained by the loss of some customers to natural gas. Total average storage at Ultracargo was up 8% due mainly to the increased fuels handling at the Santos, Suape and Itaqui terminals, reflecting the partial resumption of activities and the higher demand for fuels’ handling at Brazilian ports. Extrafarma opened 100 new stores and closed 21 in 2017, for a 25% expansion (79 stores) of the network.

As consequence of the revenues increase in every business, Ultrapar’s net sales and services revenues were R$ 79,230 million in 2017, up 2% from 2016. Despite stable sales volumes, Ipiranga’s net revenues were up 1%, in line with the costs, due mainly (i) to shifts in diesel and gasoline prices, which, are now more frequently adjusted to reflect international benchmark prices, (ii) to the increase in fuels’ taxes (PIS/Cofins) in June 2017, (iii) to the greater share of gasoline in the 2017 sales breakdown, (iv) the strategy of constant fueling station services and convenience innovation, generating improved customer satisfaction and loyalty, and (v) amortization of contractual assets with customers – exclusive rights that was reclassified in 2017 to revenues reduction. Oxiteno’s net revenues were up 7%, due mainly to the greater sales volume. On the other hand, the average price of the Brazilian Real, up 9%, partly offset these effects. Ultragaz’s net revenues were up 13% in 2017, due mainly (i) to the higher cost of bottled and bulk LPG at refineries, which now follow international benchmark prices, (ii) the bigger sales volume of bottled LPG as a result of new commercial initiatives to capture new customers and resellers, and (iii) the differentiation and innovation strategy. The lower share of bulk gas in sales partly offset the revenues growth. Ultracargo’s net revenues were up 23% in 2017 due to increased average storage and greater fuels handling, improved productivity at Ultracargo and partially resumed activities in Santos. Extrafarma’s gross revenues were up 18% in 2017 due to 25% increase in retail sales (except for telephony), a result of the bigger average store network and 12% greater same store sales (except for cellular phones sales). The growth was partly offset by a 17% decrease in cellular phones revenues, and lower revenues from the wholesale segment.

Ultrapar’s cost of goods sold and services provided was R$ 72,432 million in 2017, up 3% from 2016 as a result of growth in every business. Ipiranga’s cost of goods sold was up 1%, due mainly to shifts in the costs of diesel and gasoline and to the increase in fuels’ taxes (PIS/Cofins) in June 2017. Oxiteno’s cost of goods sold was up 15% in 2017 due (i) to the greater sales volume, (ii) costs associated with the lengthy stoppage of the Oleoquímica plant, and (iii) higherpre-operational costs at the new Pasadena plant, partially compensated by a stronger Brazilian Real. Ultragaz’s cost of goods sold was up 14%, due mainly to the higher cost of LPG at refineries. Ultracargo’s cost of services provided was up 10%, due mainly to higher payroll and materials costs, in line with the greater volume in storage. Extrafarma’s cost of goods sold was up 19% in 2017, due mainly to the greater sales volume and the annual adjustment in medicine prices as authorized by the CMED.
Gross profit
Ultrapar posted R$ 6,799 million in gross profits in 2017, down 3% from 2016, as a result of the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 and consequent restatement of 2017 financial statements.

Table of Contents
Ultrapar’s general, administrative, sales and commercial expenses were R$ 4,063 million in 2017, down 1% from 2016 because of the effects of the adoption of IFRS 9 and 15 in 2018 with reclassifications to the better presentation of the financial statements and consequent restatement of 2017 financial statements, despite the inflation on expenses and other specific reasons in each business. Ipiranga’s general, administrative and sales expenses were down 11% due to the reclassification of selling expenses with amortization of contractual assets with customers – exclusive rights to a reduction of revenue with the adoption of IFRS 15 as from 2018 with the consequent readjustment of accounting data for 2017. The reduction was softened by (i) increase in unit freight, (ii) higher expenses with projects and strategic initiatives, particularly those connected with the association with Chevron for lubricants, and (iii) expansion of the service stations and franchises networks. Oxiteno’s general, administrative and sales expenses were up 8% due to higher freight expenses, because of the greater volume sold andpre-operating expenses at the new Pasadena plant. Ultragaz’s general, administrative and sales expenses increased by 5% in 2017. Ultracargo’s General, administrative and sales expenses were up 13% in 2017, due mainly to (i) payroll expenses because of the additional personnel, the annual salaries’ adjustment and higher variable compensation, in line with operating indicators growth, and (ii) higher costs incurred with consultancies and legal advice. Extrafarma’s general, administrative and sales expenses were up 22% in 2017. The increase is due to the 23% greater average number of stores and tonon-recurring expenses with the transfer of the distribution center from Belém to Benevides, and indemnities in 1Q17. Excluding the mentionedone-off and the impacts from new stores, expenses grew below inflation as consequence of initiatives to increase productivity.
Depreciation and amortization
Total depreciation and amortization costs and expenses in 2017 were R$ 1,168 million, up 7% from 2016 because of the investments made in the period.
Other operating income
In 2017, Ultrapar posted revenues net of expenses, in other operating income of R$ 59 million, versus R$ 199 million in net revenues in 2016, due (i) to the effects of the April 2015 fire in Santos, with a positive impact of R$ 68 million in 2016, due mainly to recovery from insurers, and a negative impact of R$ 39 million in 2017; and (ii) the Cease and Desist Agreement that Ultrapar signed, with a negative impact of R$ 84 million in 2017. Ultragaz’s “Other operating income” line reached year end 2017 with net expenses of R$ 79 million, from R$ 4 million in net revenues in 2016. In 2017, Ultragaz registered R$ 84 million in expenses associated with anone-off contingency related to the signing of a Cease and Desist Agreement (“Termo de Compromisso de Cessação de Prática”) that put an end to proceedings before anti-trust authority CADE. Ultracargo’s “Other operating income” line reached year end 2017 with R$ 37 million in net expenses. In 2016, Ultracargo had R$ 134 million in revenues from fire insurance in addition to fire-linked expenses, leading “Other operating income” to R$ 71 million year end.
Income from disposal of assets
In 2017 Ultrapar posted disposal of property expenses of R$ 2 million, compared with net expenses of R$ 6 million in 2016, due mainly to the lower sales of Ipiranga real estate.
Operating income
Ultrapar posted R$ 2,793 million in operating income in 2017, down 10% from 2016 because of the lower operating income in every business, with the exception of Ipiranga.
Financial income
Ultrapar’s financial income was R$ 474 million in net expenses in 2017, down R$ 368 million from 2016 despite the greater net debt, due mainly to the lower CDI rate for the period, and foreign exchange effects in the period.
Net income
Ultrapar’s consolidated net income was R$ 1,526 million in 2017, down 3% from 2016, mainly due to the reduced EBITDA YOY and higher amortization and depreciation because of investments made over the course of 2017. These results were partly offset by lower financial expenses in the period.

Ultrapar’s consolidated EBITDA was R$ 3,981 million in 2017, down 6% from 2016. If adjusted by the positiveone-off effects of the related to the exclusion of the ICMS sales tax from the calculation base for PIS and COFINS taxes of Oxiteno, and by the negative effects associated with the signing of the TCC at Ultragaz and, effects related to the fire at Santos in 2015 at Ultracargo, Ultrapar’s EBITDA would have reduced 2% over 2016 results. Ipiranga’s 2017 EBITDA was R$ 3,067, stable over 2016 due mainly (i) to the strategy of constant services and convenience innovation at service stations, and (ii) improved sales breakdown with a bigger share of gasoline in the mix. Oxiteno’s 2017 EBITDA was R$ 296 million, down 36% from 2016 despite the increase in total volumes. The reduction is due mainly (i) to the R$ 0.30/US$ appreciation of the average price of the Brazilian Real in 2017, (ii) higher volatility of certain raw materials prices, (iii) the lengthy stoppage of the Oleoquímica plant, and(iv) pre-operational costs at the new Pasadena plant. Ultragaz’s EBITDA was R$ 440 million, down 1% from 2016 in spite of costs and expenses cutting initiatives, as well as commercial actions intended to capture new customers and resellers, and of the differentiation and innovation strategy. If the above-mentioned R$ 84 million contingency expense is not considered, Ultragaz EBITDA posted a 17% growth. Ultracargo’s EBITDA was down 27% to R$ 124 million in 2017. Excluding the extraordinary events, Ultracargo’s EBITDA would grow by 58%, because of increased volume handling in its terminals. Extrafarma’s EBITDA was R$ 23 million, down 38% from 2016 because of the greater number of maturing stores, which went from 45% of the chain in 2016 to 55% in 2017, and expenses with the transfer of the distribution center to Benevides. The drop was cushioned by strategic and commercial initiatives intended to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

a. Company’s operating results, especially:
i. Description of major components of revenues
Over the past three years, more than 90% of consolidated net revenues of Ultrapar was generated by the fuel and LPG distribution businesses. Therefore, the main components of these revenues come from diesel, gasoline and ethanol sales by Ipiranga and from LPG sales by Ultragaz. See “Item 10.2.c. effect of inflation, changes in prices of main inputs and products, foreign exchange and interest rates on the Company’s operating results and financial results”.

LPG business
Between 2003 and the end of 2007, LPG prices charged to LPG distributors in Brazil have been stable, despite increases in oil and LPG prices in the international markets, which were partially offset by the appreciation of the Real compared to the U.S. dollar. However, since 2008 Petrobras has increased LPG refinery price for commercial and industrial usage sporadically. In 2017 and 2018, LPG refinery prices were adjusted more frequently, as shown below:

The LPG refinery prices for residential use remained unchanged from May 2003 to September 2015, when Petrobras increased prices by 15%. In the last years, Petrobras’ practice was not to immediately reflect volatility of international prices of oil and its derivatives in the Brazilian market. However, in June 2017, the dynamic of LPG prices supplied by the distributors was modified to reflect international price volatility and exchange rate variation. To smooth out the peaks and troughs in international prices, in January 2018, the pricing dynamic was adjusted. Currently, the period for verification of international prices and currency rates which dictate the percentages of price adjustment are the average of the preceding twelve months and no longer the monthly variation. In August, 2019, CNPE ruled to cease the practice of differentiating prices for bottled and bulk LPG, thus eliminating a historical distortion and increasing competitiveness compared to other energy sources.

We are unable to guarantee that this tendency will continue. An eventual abrupt increase in LPG prices collected from the distributors may have an impact on the results of Ultragaz, should it not be possible to maintain operating margins or sales volume.
LPG bulk sales are correlated to economic growth. Thus, an acceleration or deceleration in Brazilian GDP growth can affect our sales volume, since the segment represented more than 30% of the volume sold by Ultragaz. Bottled LPG is an essential good and, therefore, it has a relatively low correlation with economic performance.
Chemical and petrochemical business
The specialty and commodities chemicals volume in the Brazilian market is correlated to economic performance. Therefore, an acceleration or deceleration in the Brazilian GDP can affect our sales volume, as Oxiteno’s sales in Brazil represented 72% of its total sales in 2019. As the Brazilian market grows, Oxiteno aims at (i) increasing the volume sold in the domestic market, once the logistics costs are usually lower than those of exports, and (ii) increasing sales volume of specialties, products of higher value added than commodities. In 2019, sales of specialty chemicals represented 80% of the total volume sold by Oxiteno, the same percentage as 2018.
A significant portion of Oxiteno’s prices and variable costs of the products are linked to U.S. dollar. Therefore, a sharp appreciation or depreciation of the U.S. dollar could have an impact on Oxiteno’s contribution margin in the future. In 2017 Real depreciated 15% against the U.S. dollar. In 2018, Real depreciated 18% against the U.S. dollar while in 2019, the local currency depreciated 8% against the U.S. dollar.
Oxiteno’s main raw material is the ethylene, which is produced from naphtha in Brazil. Generally, naphtha prices in Brazil fluctuates with oil prices. In 2017, oil prices ended at US$ 67/barrel, up 21% compared to 2016. In 2018, oil prices ended at US$ 53/barrel, down 20% compared to 2017. In 2019, oil prices ended at US$ 62/barrel, an increase of 13% compared to 2018. A sharp variation in ethylene prices would impact Oxiteno’s results if it is not able to maintain operating margins. The second most important raw material for Oxiteno is the palm kernel oil, whose international prices went from US$ 1,367/ton in December 2017 to US$ 694/ton in December 2018 and to US$ 753/ton in December 2019.
The demand for chemical and petrochemical products in Brazil has grown over recent years, reaching an inflexion point in 2018, when apparent consumption fell 1%, according to ABIQUIM data. In 2019, apparent consumption continued reporting a decline, reducing by 7%. A reduction in consumption of chemical and petrochemical products can affect the operational results of Oxiteno.
Fuel distribution business
In the recent past, the combined sales of gasoline, ethanol and natural gas (Otto cycle) in Brazil have been correlated mainly to the growth of the light vehicle fleet. According to ANFAVEA, in 2019 the light vehicle fleet continued to grow, with about 1.0 million new vehicles licensed in Brazil and estimated growth of 2.3% of the average fleet compared to 2018, surpassing 42 million light vehicles. Additionally, we believe the current ratio of inhabitants per vehicle in Brazil is still low when compared to the rate seen in countries with similar level of development. According to 2015 data released by ANFAVEA (the last available data), the penetration of light vehicles in Brazil is about 21% of total inhabitants, while in Argentina is 31% and in Mexico is 29%.
According to information provided by ANP, in 2019 national Otto Cycle volume sold increased 5% compared with 2018, partially due to the increase in light vehicle fleet.
Diesel sales, which in 2019 accounted for 49% of the volume sold by Ipiranga, have historically been correlated with the Brazilian economic performance, particularly the agricultural and consumer goods segments. In 2019, the Brazilian diesel market, according to ANP data, grew 3% when compared to 2018, influenced by a recovery of the economy. The increase in fuels consumption may have a positive effect on the future volume sales of the Company and on its results.
Until 2016, Petrobras’ practice was not to immediately reflect the volatility of international prices of oil and its derivatives in the Brazilian market. Between January 2012 and September 2016, increases in prices occurred, on average, every eight months. In October 2016, a new dynamic for gasoline and diesel prices was established with the objective of, amongst other aspects, fluctuate prices according to international references on a monthly basis. Therefore, gasoline and diesel prices became directly influenced by the international prices and the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rate. The prices started to fluctuate on a daily basis from June 2017 on.

In 2018, fuel costs increased in Brazil as oil prices rose globally and the real depreciated. As a consequence, at the end of May 2018 the truck drivers started a nationwide strike claiming for a decrease on diesel prices, exemption from tolls on passages without goods, a legal reform, among others calls.
The strike caused fuels and other consumer goods shortages all over the country. Therefore, the Brazilian government reacted by establishing some emergency measures, such as minimum freight price table, reduction of R$ 0.46 per liter in diesel price, of which R$ 0.16 per liter in CIDE and PIS/COFINS taxes and R$ 0.30 per liter by a subvention program implemented by the government until December 31, 2018.
Initially, prices remained flat for 60 days, and after this period, they were monthly adjusted according to a parametric formula established by ANP.
The program ended on December 31, 2018 and Petrobras returned to the previous policy adjustment according to the international market. Price changes by Petrobras in 2019 occurred by ten to fifteen days, according to international price volatility.
The following figures show the price volatility of fuels acquired by the distributors from the refineries:

Effects of inflation over our operational costs and expenses
Ultrapar’s operational costs and expenses are substantially in Reais, thus influenced by the general price levels in the Brazilian economy. In 2019, 2018 and 2017, the variation of IPCA (Consumer Prices Index), the index adopted by the Brazilian government to set inflation targets, was 4.31%, 3.75% and 2.95%, respectively.
Financial result
The main macroeconomic factors that influence the financial results of Ultrapar are the foreign exchange and interest rates.

Exchange rate
Most of the transactions of the Company are located in Brazil and, therefore, the reference currency for currency risk management is the Real. Currency risk management is guided by neutrality of currency exposures and considers the transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its 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. Ultrapar and its subsidiaries use exchange rate hedging instruments (especially between the Real and the U.S. dollar) available in the financial market to protect their assets, liabilities, revenues and disbursements in foreign currency and net investments in foreign operations, in order to reduce the effects of changes in exchange rates on its results and cash flows in Reais within the exposure limits under its Policy. Such foreign exchange hedging instruments have amounts, periods, and rates substantially equivalent to those of assets, liabilities, revenues and disbursements in foreign currency to which they are related. Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are stated below, translated into Reais as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017:

The shareholders’ equity effect refers to cumulative translation adjustments of changes in the exchange rate on equity of foreign subsidiaries (see notes 2.s.1 and 26.g.2 of the consolidated financial statement), net investments hedge in foreign entities, cash flow hedge of firm commitments and highly probable transaction (see note 2.c and h of the consolidated financial statement).
Interest Rate
The Company and its subsidiaries adopt 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 of the consolidated financial statement. Borrowings primarily relate to financing from Banco do Brasil, debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in note 16 of the consolidated financial statement. The Company attempts to maintain most of its financial assets and liabilities at floating interest rates.

Sensitivity analysis of floating interest rate risk
For sensitivity analysis of floating interest rate risk, the Company used the accumulated amount of the reference indexes (DI, TJLP, LIBOR, TIIE and SELIC) as a base scenario. Scenarios I, II and III were based on 10%, 25% and 50% variations, respectively, applied in the floating interest rate of the base scenario. The table below shows the incremental expenses and income that would be recognized in financial income in 2019, due the effect of floating interest rate changes in different scenarios:

10.5 – Comments on the Company’s critical accounting policies
The presentation of our financial condition and results of operations requires our management to make judgments regarding the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and may affect the reported amount of them as well as our revenues and expenses. The information regarding uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates are included: in determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 2.c, 2.l, 4, 16 and 34), the determination of the estimated losses on doubtful accounts (Notes 2.d, 5 and 34.d.3), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Notes 2.e and 6), realization of deferred IRPJ and CSLL amounts (Notes 2.m and 9.a), determination of control in subsidiaries (Notes 2.g, 2.s.1, 3 and 12.a), determination of control in associates and joint ventures (Notes 2.g, 12.a and 12.b), determination of significant influence over associates (Notes 2.g and 12.c), the useful lives of PP&E (Notes 2.i and 14), the useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill (Notes 2.j and 15.a), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Notes 2.n and 21), provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks (Notes 2.o and 22), estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Notes 2.p and 20.b) and the determination of fair value of subscription warrants – indemnification (Notes 25 and 34.j).
The effective results and information of transactions may differ from these estimates when they materialize.
We have identified the following accounting policies as critical:
Allowance for doubtful accounts
The estimated losses take into account, at the initial recognition of the contract, the expected losses for the next 12 months or for the lifetime of the contract when the deterioration or improvement of the customers’ credit quality, considering the customers’ characteristics in each business segment. The amount of the allowance for estimated losses on doubtful accounts is deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any probable loss on realization of trade receivables. The credit policy establishes the analysis of the profile of each new customer, individually, regarding their financial condition. The review carried out by the subsidiaries of the Company includes the evaluation of external ratings, when available, financial statements, credit bureau information, industry information and, when necessary, bank references. Credit limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically, in a shorter period the greater the risk, depending on the approval of the responsible area in cases of sales that exceed these limits. In monitoring credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics and depending on the business the grouping takes into account, for example, whether they are natural or legal clients, whether they are wholesalers, resellers or final customers, considering also the geographic area.
The estimates of credit losses are calculated by the expected loss approach based on the probability of default rates. Loss rates are calculated on the basis of the average probability of a receivable amount to advance through successive stages of default until fullwrite-off. The probability of default calculation takes into account a credit risk score for each exposure, based on data considered to be capable of foreseeing the risk of loss (external classifications, audited financial statements, cash flow projections, customer information available in the press, for example), with addition of the credit assessment based on experience.
Such credit 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. See notes 5 and 34.d.3.
Provisions for inventory losses
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 Ultrapar and its subsidiaries’ specifications, (ii) have exceeded their expiration date or (iii) are considered slow-moving inventory. This classification is made by management with the support of its industrial team. For further information on Ultrapar’s provisions for inventory losses, see note 6 of the financial statements.

Income tax and social contribution tax
Current and deferred income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution tax on net income (CSLL) are calculated based on their current rates. For the calculation of current IRPJ, the value of tax incentives is also considered. Taxes are recognized based on the rates of IRPJ and CSLL provided for by the legislation in force on the last day of the financial statements. The current rates in Brazil are 25% for income tax and 9% for social contribution tax on net income. For further details about recognition and realization of IRPJ and CSLL, see note 9 of the financial statements.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
A subsidiary is an investee in which the shareholder is entitled to variable returns and has the ability to interfere in its financial and operational activities. Normally, the equity interest is more than 50%. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted according to the equity interest method. An associate is an investee in which the shareholder has a significant influence, that is it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions but does not exercise control. A joint venture is an investment in which the shareholders have the right to the net assets given their joint control. Joint control is an agreement which establishes that decisions on key activities of the investee require the consent of the parties that share control. See explanatory note 12 of the financial statements for more information on investments in subsidiaries and joint ventures.
Provision for civil and labor tax risks
A provision for tax, civil and labor risks is recognized for quantifiable risks, when the chance of loss ismore-likely-than-not in the opinion of management and internal and external legal counsel, and the amounts are recognized based on the evaluation of the outcomes of the legal proceedings (see note 22 of the financial statements).
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.n and 21 of the financial statements) less accumulated depreciation and, when applicable, less provision for losses.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, for the periods mentioned in note 14 of the financial statements, 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.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the criteria below (see note 15 of the financial statements):
• | Goodwill 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. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the business segments, which represent the lowest level that goodwill is monitored for impairment testing purposes. |
• | 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 15 to our consolidated financial statements, taking into account their useful lives, which is reviewed annually. |
The Company and its subsidiaries have not recognized intangible assets that were generated internally. The Company and its subsidiaries have goodwill and brands acquired in business combinations, which are evaluated as intangible assets with indefinite useful life (see note 15 itemsa ande of the financial statements).

Table of Contents
Impairment of Assets
The Company and its subsidiaries review, quarterly, the existence of any indication that an asset may be impaired and annually for intangible assets with undetermined useful life. 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, an 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 apro-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.
The evaluation of the value in use is calculated for a period of five years (except the Extrafarma segment), after which it is calculated the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely. For the Extrafarma segment, a period of ten years was used due to a four-year period to maturity of new stores were considered.
On December 31, 2019, the discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 8.9% to 12.1% and from 0% to 1% p.a., respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed.
In 2019, the recoverability tests of the asset value conducted by Ultrapar and its subsidiaries resulted in a reduction in the recoverable amount. The result was a loss of R$ 30 million (loss of R$ 22 million in 2018), representing principally the sales of plant, property and equipment and the closure of stores at Extrafarma. In addition, in 2019, the recoverability tests have shown the need to book an impairment of goodwill of R$ 593 million to the accounts of Extrafarma.
Contractual assets with customers – exclusive rights
Exclusive rights disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recognized as contractual assets when paid and amortized according to the conditions established in the agreements (see Note 2.a and 11 of the financial statements).
Provisions for assets retirement obligations
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 the tanks are installed. The estimated cost is recognized in property, plant, and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful lives 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 21 of the financial statements). 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.

Fair value of financial instruments
The Company and its subsidiaries evaluated the classification and measurement of financial assets based on its business model of financial assets as follows:
• | Amortized cost: financial assets held in order to collect contractual cash flows, solely principal and interest. 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. Financial investments in guarantee of loans are classified as amortized cost. |
• | Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: financial assets that are acquired or originated for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or selling financial assets. 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 initial amount of financial investments plus the interest earned are recognized in equity in other comprehensive income in the “Valuation adjustments”. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss at the time of their settlement. Substantially the financial investments in Bank Certificates of Deposit (“CDB”) and repurchase agreements are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. |
• | Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets that were not classified as amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The balances are stated at fair value and both the interest earned and the exchange variations and changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement. Investment funds and derivatives are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. |
The Company and its subsidiaries use financial instruments for hedging purposes, applying the concepts described below:
• | Hedge accounting—fair value hedge: 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: 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 or firm commitment that may affect the statements of profit or loss. 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 or as initial cost ofnon-financial assets, in the same line of the statement that the hedged item is recognized. The hedge accounting shall be discontinued when (i) the hedging relationship is canceled; (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 equity in other comprehensive income 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 equity in other comprehensive income shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss. |
• | Hedge accounting—hedge of net investments in foreign operation: 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 when the disposal of the foreign subsidiary occurs. |

Employee Benefits and Private Pension Plan
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—Associação de Previdência Complementar (“Ultraprev”), since August 2001. Under the terms of the plan, every year each participating employee chooses his or her basic contribution to the plan. Each sponsoring Company provides a matching contribution in an amount equivalent to each basic contribution, up to a limit of 11% of the employee’s reference salary, according to the rules of the plan. As participating employees retire, they may choose to receive either (i) a monthly sum ranging between 0.5% and 1.0% of their respective accumulated fund in Ultraprev or (ii) a fixed monthly amount which will exhaust their respective accumulated fund over a period of 5 to 25 years. The sponsoring Company and its subsidiaries do not guarantee the amounts or the duration of the benefits received by each employee that retires.
Ultrapar and its subsidiaries recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Government Severance Indemnity Fund (“FGTS”), and health, dental care and life insurance plan for eligible retirees. The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary and reviewed by the administration on December 31, 2019 and are recorded in the financial statements.

Fair value of the Subscription Warrants – indemnification
Because of the association between the Company and Extrafarma on January 31, 2014, 7 subscription warrants – indemnification could be issued, corresponding to up to 6,411,244 shares of the Company. The subscription warrants – indemnification may be exercised beginning 2020 by the former shareholders of Extrafarma and are adjusted according to the changes in the amounts of provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks and contingent liabilities related to the period prior to January 31, 2014. The subscription warrants – indemnification’s fair value is measured based on the share price of Ultrapar (UGPA3) and is 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. As of December 31, 2019, the subscription warrants – indemnification were represented by 5,192,919 shares and amounted to R$ 130.7 million (as of December 31, 2018, they were represented by 4,824,238 that totaled R$ 123.1 million). Due to the final adverse decision of some of these lawsuits, on December 31, 2019, the maximum number of shares that could be issued in 2020 related to the subscription warrants – indemnification was up to 5,920,425 (5,976,316 shares as of December 31, 2018).
The information above were adjusted retrospectively as disclosure in Note 26.a. In February 19, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors confirmed the issuance of 2,108,542 common shares due to the partial exercise of the rights conferred by the subscription warrants. For more information on the partial issue, see note 36.

c.New products and services
Oxiteno carries on a wide range of research and development activities, principally related to the application of specialty chemicals and improvements in production processes. Oxiteno’s research and development expenditures in 2019, 2018 and 2017 were R$ 57 million, R$ 57 million and R$ 53 million respectively.
Oxiteno’s investments in research and development have resulted in the introduction of 94 new applications for its products during the last three years. Oxiteno will continue to invest in research and development focused on developing new product applications to meet clients’ needs.
Ipiranga constantly develops specific initiatives for each segment in which it operates, such as the offering of supply and technical support at large clients’ facilities.
In the urban service stations segment, the wide range ofnon-fuel products and services and the constant pursue of excellence have been contributing significantly to the increase in the number of consumers and the client-loyalty for its service stations. Additionally, the offer of convenience and services at the service stations aims at greater satisfaction to the customers, and therefore more value perceived. In addition to fueling its vehicles, the consumer can also shop at am/pm convenience stores, that has more than 934 bakeries, and at Ipirangashop.com and enjoy other services provided in many service stations of Ipiranga’s network.
In another pioneer initiative, Ipiranga launched in 2009 the program “Km de Vantagens”, a loyalty program in the fuel industry that grants rewards and benefits to customers and resellers that has strengthened as an important platform for customer relationship and for other initiatives of Ipiranga. In 2019, KMV continued to add new users and surpassed the mark of 32 million participants.
Ipiranga’s Posto Ecoeficiente project(Eco-Efficient service station) is one of the differentiation initiatives that reflect Ultrapar’s innovation philosophy. It aggregates, in a single project, innovative solutions and sustainable technologies, in harmony with the profitability of the service station for the reseller. The Posto Ecoeficiente project involves solutions in the construction and operation of service stations that result in better use of resources, such as water and electricity, and reduction of wastage and residues. The Postos Ecoeficientes reached, in 2019, 910 service stations in Brazil.
In 2014, the novelty was the “Beer Cave”, a new beverage shopping experience for customers in am/pm stores. It is a cold room with a wide variety of labels of domestic and imported beers. Approximately 561 am/pm shops throughout Brazil had already implemented the model by 2019.
In 2016, Ipiranga developed and launched the Abastece Aí app in the market, an initiative designed to integrate the platforms for offering additional convenience and benefits to its customers. Through the Abastece Aí app, the customer can program or decide with immediate effect their refueling option which is automatically recognized by the pump attendant. The customer can also choose which benefits he prefers and complete the refueling process using the Km de Vantagens password, payment being executed in absolute security. The app continues to grow exponentially and is already executing annualized transactions of more than R$ 4.0 billion with a customer base of more than 3.2 million users. We are assessing the possibility of transforming this business unit of Ipiranga into an independent unit, leveraging the Km de Vantagens and Abastece Aí ecosystems to offer further products and services to the customers.
Ipiranga also launched in 2016 the DT Clean gasoline, formulated with one of the latest additivities technology, that recovery the original performance of the engine, improves its service life and fuel efficiency. Additionally 2017 Ipiranga launched Octapro, a high-octane gas that features a combination of cutting-edge additives and, among other benefits, helps engines reach their top power and improves performance.

Management and Fiscal Council Compensation Proposal
A-Management’s compensation proposal
The proposal for the maximum annual limit of the Management compensation for the period between May 2020 and April 2021 is R$ 75,000,000.00 (seventy-five millionReais), of which R$ 12,000,000.00 (twelve millionReais) refers to compensation for the members of the Board of Directors and R$ 63,000,000.00 (sixty-three millionReais) for the Company’s Executive Officers, including R$ 13,951,235.00 (thirteen million, nine hundred andfifty-one thousand, two hundred and thirty-fiveReais) relative to the stock-based compensation plan and post-retirement benefits.
The total amount proposed is 4.17% higher than the amount approved in the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 10, 2019 for the period between May 2019 and April 2020. The global compensation effectively recognized in this period is estimated to be 19% lower than the amount approved in 2019, mainly due to the values of the variable compensation that were lower than the maximum value planned, consistent with the financial results in relation to the amount projected for the year.
B-Compensation proposal for the members of the Fiscal Council
The proposal for the total compensation of the members of the Fiscal Council for the term of office (between May 2020 and April 2021) is R$ 68,400.00 (sixty-eight thousand, four hundredReais) monthly, with a monthly payment of R$ 22,000.00(twenty-two thousandReais) to the chairman of the Fiscal Council and R$ 17,500.00 (seventeen thousand, five hundredReais) to the other effective members¹.
The amount proposed is 8.12% higher than the amount approved in the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting for the period between May 2019 and April 2020. The proposed increase aims to match the compensation for the members of the Fiscal Council to the average of the market identified in surveys (considering companies with comparable size, complexity and performance to Ultrapar). The global compensation effectively recognized on this period is aligned with the amount approved.
Further information, including policies or practices about the compensation of the Board of Directors, Statutory andnon-Statutory Officers and Fiscal Council, is available atExhibit VII, which reflects the information required on item 13 of the Reference Form (Management’s Compensation). We highlight that the amounts included in this compensation proposal is not the same from those ofExhibit VII because of the different reference periods of the documents.
¹ | Monthly individual compensation for members of the Fiscal Council does not include charges on payroll. |

• | Short-term variable compensation: grounded on the concept of profit sharing, this component is planned based on a salary multiple that varies with the executive’s level and respective market benchmark, and conditioned upon the Company’s financial target achievements (70%) and on the individual targets (30%), all targets aligned with the Strategic Plan approved by the Board of Directors. |
• | Share plan: the amount of shares to be granted to the executives is annually defined by the Board of Directors and the value attributed until 2019 corresponded to the Company’s share price at the granting date. From 2020, the share price will be calculated based on the average of the last 30 trading days that precedes the grant. |
• | Post-retirement benefit: with the aim of fostering long-term savings, since 2001, Ultrapar has offered a complementary defined contribution pension plan, managed by Ultraprev – Associação de Previdência Complementar. Under the terms of this plan, the basic contribution of each executive is optional and calculated on the basis of a percentage of their salary. Ultrapar contributes an amount in the name of the executive which matches the employee’s basic contribution, limited to 11% of the individual’s base salary. In addition, besides contributions to the FGTS (federal indemnity fund), Ultrapar instituted in 2010 and revised in 2018, a policy for career termination with the aim of preparing the executive for leaving the Company and ensuring a planned succession process in the Company’s senior management. The retirement benefit plan as a result of this policy consists principally in an additional remuneration on the occasion of the executive leaving the Company. |

Financial Risks Committee
• | Compensation based on participation: members of the Financial Risks Committee do not receive additional compensation due to their participation in this committee. |
Conduct Committee
• | Compensation based on participation: members of the Conduct Committee do not receive additional compensation due to their participation in this committee. The external member receives a monthly fee, based on market practices, as described above. Reasons supporting the composition of the compensation |
The Company’s compensation strategy is composed by short and long-term elements, besides fixed and variable installment, which are balanced according to the principles of alignment of interests and maintenance of a competitive compensation, in order to retain, encourage superior performance and adequately compensate our executives in accordance with their responsibilities and the value created for the Company and its shareholders.
iv. | The existence ofnon-compensated members and supporting reasons |
All members of the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council, Executive Officers of the Company and advisory committees to the Board of Directors are compensated.
Except for the external member of the Conduct Committee, members of the Financial Risks Committee and from the Conduct Committee do not receive, due to their participation on said committee, additional compensation from the Company or its subsidiaries besides to the compensation for their executive position.
c. | Key performance indicators considered for establishing each compensation component |
• | Fixed compensation: the responsibility and complexity inherent to the position, the experience of the professional and market practices. |
• | Short-term variable compensation: (i) EVA® growth targets until 2019. As from 2020, EBTIDA and operational cash flow targets established for each Business and for Ultrapar and according to the Strategic Plan approved by the Board of Director, and (ii) individual goals, which shall be mainly tangible and associated with the operational and commercial performance of the Business, people development and project execution, among other objectives, aligned with the Company’s Strategic Plan. |
• | Stock plan: the retained portion is a function of the executive’s time with the Company and the expectation on the contribution for value creation to the Company. According to the terms of the stock plan in force since 2017, there are two programs, one of which is conditioned only to the executive’s time with the Company. The second program establishes two equal parts: one conditioned to the executive’s time with the Company; and other related to the achievement of the financial goals as previously determined by the Board of Directors. For the plan established in 2018 and 2019, return on invested capital (ROIC) goals have been defined. As from 2020 will be establish targets of EVA®, aligned with the Company’s Strategic Plan. |
• | Post-retirement benefit: not linked to performance indicators. |
237
Table of Contents
d. | How compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of performance indicators |
• | Fixed compensation: from periodic performance assessments on capacity, skills and competence. |
• | Short-term variable compensation: evolution due to the progression of the Company’s results can change between zero and two times the planned amount. As from 2020, short term variable remuneration will vary between 50% and 150% of the planned amount. |
• | Stock plan: the potential benefit associated with the stock ownership plan will be vested if the executive remains in the Company in the long term, thus committing to sustained value generation. The portion that takes into account the Company’s performance target is conditioned on the attainment of the target, as described on Item 13.1.c. |
e. | How the compensation policy or practice aligns with the issuer’s short-, medium- and long-term interests |
Ultrapar’s compensation policy and practices aim at short and long-term alignment with the interests of shareholders and with the sustainability of the company. Short-term and long-term variable compensation, which is a material portion of the overall compensation, is linked to the results and the economic value added growth targets, aligned with the interest of shareholders. Variable compensation also strengthens the focus of the executives to the adherence to the Strategic Plan approved by the Board of Directors. Short-term compensation shall be linked to annual goals of financial results growth and with priority matters for the Company (through individual goals). The stock plan turns executives into shareholders of the Company and is a strong element for aligning long-term interests.
f. | Existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, controlled companies or direct or indirect controlling companies |
The whole compensation of the Company’ Statutory Officers was supported by its subsidiaries or controlled companies in the last three years, as a result of their activities as managers. For a breakdown of the amounts supported by each subsidiary or controlled company and the nature of such payments, see “Item 13.15. Amounts recorded in the results of the Company’s direct or indirect controlling companies, companies under common control and subsidiaries, as compensation payable to the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, Fiscal Council and Statutory Officers.”
g. | Existence of any compensation or benefit linked to the occurrence of any specific corporate event, such as the transfer of the issuer’s shareholding control |
There is no compensation or benefit linked to the occurrence of corporate events.
h. | Practices and procedures adopted by the Board of Directors for defining the individual compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board, indicating: |
i. The issuer’s organs and committees that take part in the decision-making process, identifying in what way they participate;
ii. Criteria and methodology used to fix individual compensation, indicating if there are studies for verifying market practices and if positive, the criteria for comparison and coverage of these studies;
iii. With what frequency and in what way does the Board of Directors evaluate the suitability of the issuer’s compensation policy;
Ultrapar elaborates annual studies on and analyses of the Administration’s compensation under the purview of the People, which also reviews the parameters and the guidelines of the Corporate Executive Compensation Policy and other benefits given to administrators. After making modifications that are found to be necessary, the Committee prepare compensation proposals and submits them to the Board of Directors.
The studies prepared by the Company aim to ensure the competitiveness of the compensations for the Board of Directors and the Executive Officers and adopt market surveys as a parameter to benchmark its practices (considering origin of capital, size, complexity, activity and reputation of compensation practices).
The parameters on which the administrators compensation rely are annually reviewed by the People Committee.

13.4 – Concerning the share compensation plan for the Board of Directors and Statutory Officers in force in the previous fiscal year and projected for the current fiscal year, describe:
a.General terms and conditions
Ultrapar has since 2003 adopted a stock plan under which the executive has the beneficial ownership of shares held in treasury, for a period of 5 to 7 years, after which the ownership of the shares is effectively transferred, provided that the relationship between the executive and the Company or its subsidiaries has not been interrupted. Said plan made its latest grants in 2017, and the vesting periods end in 2024.
At the E/AGM held on April 19, 2017, Ultrapar’s shareholders approved a new share-based incentive plan, which establishes the terms and general conditions for granting common shares issued by the Company held as treasury stock which may or may not involve awarding usufruct over any portion thereof for subsequent transfer of ownership for periods from 3 to 6 years, to officers or staff of the Company or of its subsidiaries. The information with respect to share-based compensation included in this compensation plan reflects both plans.
The volume of shares and the beneficiary executives are determined by the Board of Directors, based on the People Committee’s recommendation. There is no mandatory annual compensation required. The number of shares to be used shall be subject to the availability of such shares in Treasury and shall be limited to 1% of the equity capital on the date of the plan’s approval, corresponding to 11,149,187 shares.
The members of the Board of Directors are not eligible beneficiaries of the stock plan.
Ultrapar does not have an active stock ownership option plan.
b.Primary purposes of the plan
The primary purposes of the Company’s shares compensation plan are to (i) encourage the Company’s sustainable expansion and results and the achievement of its business goals, fostering the alignment of long-term interests across shareholders, managers and employees; and (ii) reinforce the ability to attract, retain and effectively motivate highly qualified executives and employees.
Additional details are provided in items: See “Item 13.1.b. Composition of the compensation”, “Item 13.1.c. Principal performance indicators for determining each element of compensation”, “Item 13.1.d. How the compensation is structured to reflect the evolution of the performance indicators” and “Item 13.1.e.

Insurance covers claims for damages caused to third parties or the Company arising from acts or omissions by reason of the exercising of the function by the Insured Parties, including any claim made against the latter except when the act, omission or complaint was a consequence of gross negligence or willful mis conduct. As from 2018, the contracted D&O policy also provides for the reimbursement of the Insured Party for payment of fines and penalties involving civil and administrative, except when related to negligence on the part of the Insured Parties.
