 | Earnings Release
3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 – July, August and September 2013 |
The increase in gasoline prices contributed to higher competitiveness of ethanol in the domestic market in four Brazilian states (São Paulo, Paraná, Goiás and Mato Grosso), where the price parity between ethanol and gasoline was below 70%.
In 3Q 2013, the aviation segment recorded a 4.8% reduction in volumes sold year-over-year, which was more than offset by the 10.9% increase in average price, resulting a growth of 5.6% in net revenue. Compared to 2Q 2012, volumes sold in this segment improved reporting an increase of 4.3%.

B.2 Raízen Energia
The following are the results for Raízen Energia, whose core business is the production and sale of a variety of products derived from sugarcane, including raw sugar (Very High Polarization VHP), anhydrous and hydrous ethanol, as well as activities related to energy cogeneration from sugarcane bagasse and ethanol trading.
As mentioned in the previous quarter, due to the adoption of accounting rule IFRS 11 – Joint Arrangements, Cosan no longer consolidates Raízen in its balance sheet, financial statement and cash flow statement, Raízen’s result is reported under the “Equity Pick-up” line. Due to Raízen’s relevance to Cosan’s financial information, we will report the performance of this segment separately.
Year-to-date results for 2013 (YTD 2013) are pro forma, and consider the first nine months (January 2013 to September 2013) of Raízen Energia operations, to enable comparability of the periods. The same applies to the year-to-date results for 2012 (YTD 2012), which considers the months of January through September 2012.
Production Figures
CenterSouth Region
The rainy weather in the beginning of the harvest season affected not only the crushing in the period – especially between May and June—but also the sugar and ethanol production after that period. The rain in most of the Central-South region of Brazil has changed the physiology of the sugarcane which, from then on, was expected to strongly concentrate sugar in the cane. But the TRS levels were below expectations – an average 1.3% lower than in the previous year between June and September – and the sugar production was also affected, since the lower quality cane favors the production of ethanol.
From July to September, mills managed to maximize the crushing pace and crushed nearly 260 million tons of sugarcane. But they also faced weather issues, which prevented this figure from being even higher. The second half of September, for instance, recorded a decrease of over 20% in processed volumes compared to the first half of the month.
The number of crushing days lost this harvest due to rain in the Central-South region is above the average of the past years. Also, a higher mechanization level demands a longer time to resume crushing right after the rains, which delays the mills’ operation pace.
 | Earnings Release
3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 – July, August and September 2013 |
Out of the processed sugarcane volume until the end of September, 45.1% was used in sugar production, resulting in 25.2 million tons, while ethanol production totaled 18.8 billion liters – of which 8.1 billion liters were anhydrous and 10.8 billion, hydrous. All products increased year-over-year, however, although the cane crushing is 15.4% higher than the previous year, low levels of TRS caused an increase of only 5% in the sugar production volume in the period.
Raízen Energia
During 3Q 2013, Raízen Energia operated 24 sugar, ethanol and energy cogeneration mills, with a crushing capacity of 65.6 million tons of sugarcane per year.

Raízen Energia recorded 26.8 million tons of crushed sugarcane in 3Q 2013, a decrease of 1.8% over 3Q 2012 (27.3 million tons). About 44% of which was own sugarcane, and 56% from suppliers.
During 3Q 2013, the mechanization of own sugarcane harvesting reached 94.0% and the TRS of the sugarcane reached 135.4 kg/ton in the same period, down 7.9% compared to 3Q 2012 when the TRS level was 147.0 kg/ton, thanks to the increased occurrence of rain early in the crop season which ultimately diluted the concentration of total sugars in the harvested cane.
Agricultural productivity measured in tons of sugarcane per hectare (TCH) reached 86.8 t/ha in 3Q 2013, a 6.2% growth compared to the 81.7 t/ha reported in 3Q 2012.
The sugarcane field reached an average age of 3.1 years due to renewal of approximately 20% of the company’s own fields in the interseason period. Production mix was concentrated in sugar, with approximately 60% of sugarcane crushed used to make this product, totaling 2.1 million tons of sugar and 884 million liters of ethanol produced

Raízen Energia’s net revenue reached R$3.2 billion in 3Q 2013, up 44.4% compared to the 3Q 2012, when the reported amount was R$2.2 billion. The key drivers of the growth in net revenue in the period were the higher volumes of sugar and ethanol sold, and the better prices of ethanol both in domestic and international markets.
Sugar Sales
During 3Q 2013 net revenue from sugar sales totaled R$1.5 billion, 14.6% higher than the R$1.3 billion recorded in 3Q 2012. Revenue from sugar sales represented approximately 46% of Raízen Energia’s net revenue in the 3Q 2013.
The main driver of net revenue increase in the 3Q 2013 was the 23.8% expansion in volumes sold, equivalent to R$310.5 million, which more than offset the 7.5% decrease in the average price, from R$ 1.068/ton in 3Q 2012 to R$ 988/ton in 3Q 2013.

Ethanol Sales
Net revenue from ethanol sales totaled R$1.5 billion in 3Q 2013, up 112.0% compared to 3Q 2012, which was R$717.0 million. The revenue increase is justified by a 4.6% increase in average price as well as by an increase of 103.6% in sales volume in the quarter.
Sales of ethanol in the domestic market reached 65% of total sales in 3Q 2013, mainly driven by the higher demand for anhydrous ethanol in the Central-South region—38% higher than in the same period last year – mainly due to the mandatory increase to 25% in the gasoline blend.
In the 3Q 2013, net revenue from ethanol trading, which represents purchase and sale transactions in the international market, totaled R$309.7 million, moving approximately 174 million liters in the period.

Note 3: Average unit costs represent the cash cost, which is net of plantation and cultivation area depreciation and amortization, agricultural depreciation (machinery and equipment), industrial depreciation, and harvest off-season maintenance.
In 3Q 2013, Raízen Energia’s cost of goods sold totaled R$2.5 billion, up 51.1% (compared to a 44.4% increase in net revenues) from the R$1.7 billion recorded in 3Q 2012. The higher volumes of sugar and ethanol sold, were the main drivers for the cost increase in this quarter. Important to mention that approximately 35% of the total ethanol sold in 3Q 2013 was originated in from domestic market, which explains the higher costs.
In addition, there was less dilution on planting and treatment costs, due to a 7.9% drop in the level of TRS, from 147.0 kg/ton in 3Q 2012 to 135.4 kg/ton in 3Q 2013.
Some factors offsetting the rise in Raízen Energia’s cost of goods sold were the following:
· | 6.2% increase in sugarcane field productivity – represented by a higher TCH, which was 86.8 in 3Q 2013 compared to 81.7 in 3Q 2012; |
· | 7.6% decrease in the cost of CONSECANA’s TCH, from R$0.4806 in 3Q 2012 to R$0.4439 in 3Q 2013, which has a direct impact on the cost of sugarcane from suppliers; |

Comgás focuses its business on the expansion of both residential and commercial markets and on the development of the cogeneration and NGV. The industrial segment, which growth is linked to the GDP evolution in the concession area, is the most relevant in terms of volumes.
During 3Q 2013, the company distributed 65.4 million cbm of gas to the residential segment, an increase of 15.1% compared to the 50.7 million cbm volume distributed in 3Q 2012, reaching 56.8 million cbm. Volume variations in the segment are explained basically by the connection of new customers to the network. The segment ended September with 936,034 meters connected, a 7.4% growth compared to 3Q 2012, when meters connected amounted to 871,934. In 3Q 2013, the residential segment contributed with 28% to the margin and represented 5% of the total distributed volume.
The commercial segment accounted for 31.5 million cbm of gas distributed by Comgás in 3Q 2013, representing growth of 7.5% compared to 3Q 2012, when total volume distributed was 29.3 million cbm. This volume represents 2% of the total distributed volume of gas in 3Q 2013, with a 8% margin contribution. During 3Q 2013, 101 new commercial clients were connected.
The industrial segment totaled 984.3 million cbm of gas distributed in 3Q 2013, up 1.4% compared to the 970.3 million cbm distributed in 3Q 2012. Comgás’ strategy contemplates the maintenance and loyalty of this customer base, by means of developing new applications for natural gas while working to add new customers in its concession area. At the close of 3Q 2013, Comgás had 1,018 clients in this segment, accounting for 75% of the total gas sales for the quarter with a contribution to the margin of 60%.
 | Earnings Release
3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 – July, August and September 2013 |
Thanks to the downtime for maintenance at two clients, volume sold to the cogeneration market fell 14.1% over 3Q 2012, from 92.4 million cbm in 3Q 2012 to 79.5 million cbm in 3Q 2013, and represented 6% of total volume distributed with a 2% contribution to the margin.
In 3Q 2013 the automotive segment represented 5% of total distributed volume, reaching 61.8 million cbm. The 11.9% decrease in volume sold compared to 3Q 2012 is explained by the segment’s high sensitivity to price changes and the competition from other fuels.
The volume distributed to the thermal power generation segment in the 3Q 2013 reached 85.5 million cbm, up 13.5% compared to the 3Q 212, when the volume sold was 75.4 million cbm. In the quarter, this segment represented 7% of the total volume of gas sold contributing with 2% contribution to the margin.
Comgás’ gas supply contracts do not include thermal power plants volumes. If thermal power plants need to dispatch gas, Petrobras will supply the Company the additional volume, as these are “back to back” contracts.

Comgás recorded gross revenue of R$2.1 billion in 3Q 2013, up 17.7% compared to the R$1.8 billion reported in 3Q 2012. Net revenue from sales and services totaled R$ 1.7 billion, a 19.0% increase compared to the same period of the previous year.
Tariff increases, as approved by the São Paulo State Sanitation and Energy Regulatory Agency (ARSESP) resolutions nos. 340, 379 and 421, were the main drivers of the variations in Natural Gas Sales Revenue. In order to establish the new tariff, ARSESP considered the increased cost of natural gas, especially imported gas (subject to agency review), which was impacted by the stronger dollar and the higher average contracted oil price per barrel, key elements for natural gas price formation in Brazil.

Comgás’ cost of goods and services sold, comprised of commodity costs, transportation and construction totaled R$1.2 billion in 3Q 2013, representing an increase of 21.1% to R$900.0 million recorded in 3Q 2012.
The increase in the natural gas cost and transportation & other lines are chiefly due to the increase in gas cost due to supply agreements priced in dollars, and the lower amount of gas offered in auctions by Petrobras in 2013. The change in the construction cost line directly relates to the higher level of investment during the year.

The differences between actual costs incurred and the cost of gas included in the tariff charged to customers (as per the ARSESP tariff structure) are accrued to the regulatory account and are passed through or charged according to regulatory resolutions in periodic adjustments or tariff reviews. This balance is monthly adjusted by the SELIC rate. On September 30, 2013, the Regulatory account had a positive balance of approximately R$350 million payable to Comgás.
The regulatory account represents a balance payable or receivable related to the difference between the prices of the gas bought by Comgás and the one used in the tariff composition. This balance is not recorded, so when we refer to its normalization, it means to consider this asset and/or liability as if it was recorded.
