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, 2020, 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, 2020, 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 matter

Key audit matter is those matter that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the current period. This matter was 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 this matter.

 

Realization of deferred tax assets

As of December 31, 2020, the individual and consolidated financial statements include deferred tax asset amounts equivalent to R$ 1,588,001 thousand, of which R$ 1,224,139 thousand are related to temporary differences and R$ 363,862 thousand are related to tax losses, considered recoverable based on the generation of future taxable profits.


3

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, 2020 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.


4

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.

– 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.


5

– 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 matter. 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.

a. Clarifications on the impacts of COVID-19

 

The World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on March 11, 2020.

All the activities of the companies controlled by the Company are classified as essential in the context of the measures adopted to face the pandemic.


The Company and its subsidiaries quickly adopted the work at home (expressed by home office) for the administrative public, with all the necessary support for the operational continuity.

Ultrapar Participações S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Parent’s Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

 

Remains uncertain to what extent the financial informations, after December 31, 2020, may still be affected by the commercial, operational and financial impacts of the pandemic, because it will depend on its duration and the impacts on economic activities, as well as government, business in response to the crisis. In this context, some financial risk assessments, projections and impairment tests, in connection with the preparation of these financial statements, may be impacted by the pandemic, and may adversely affect the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries.


Operational impacts

 

The implemented measures of social isolation, restrictions on the movement of people and the operation of certain businesses significantly impacted economic activity in Brazil.

 

Ultragaz presented in the second quarter a reduction in the volume sold in the bulk segment, because of the lower demand from industries and small and medium-sized companies, that were directly impacted by the social isolation measures. However, this effect was compensated by the increase in sales in the bottled segment, due to the higher demand for LPG for residential use. In terms of costs and expenses, Ultragaz incurred additional freight expenses, due to the need to remove LPG on more distant supply bases, protection materials and temporary workers, in addition to numerous donations to hospitals focused in the pandemic and needy communities.

 

There was no record of an increase in clients payment defaults in the period. On the second semester, Ultragaz had a recovery in volume in the bulk segment, due the resumption of the industry, while sales in the bottled segment continued gradually returning to pre-pandemic levels.

 

Ultracargo recorded a lower movement of fuels in the second quarter, due to the retraction in demand and a reduction in spot contracts. Addittionaly, approximately R$ 2 million was recorded in extra expenses with protective materials and donations. The performance of measures to increase productivity and recovered tax credits contributed to the improvement in results in the second quarter. In the second semester, Ultracargo showed an increase in product movement and cubic meters invoiced, the result of capacity expansions throughout the second semester of 2019 until the first semester of 2020.

 

At Oxiteno, the paint, automotive and oil & gas segments suffered a retraction in demand in the second quarter, an effect that was partially compensated by the higher sales volume in the Home & Personal Care and Crop Solutions segments. In the third quarter, Oxiteno had a recovery in sales volume for the automotive fluids, paint and varnishes, with maintenance of increasing volumes for the hygiene and beauty sector. In the fourth quarter, Oxiteno's volume was practically in line with the third quarter. In addition, the USA unit continued to ramp-up, contributing to the increase in sales volume in the period and the recovery of the company's profitability.

 

Ipiranga was the business most impacted by the crisis due to the measures for isolation and social distancing. In April, volumes sold for the Otto cycle and diesel registered a reduction of 37% and 17%, respectively, compared to the same period of the last year. In May and June, volumes sold improved gradually compared to April. In addition, the strong volatility in the prices of oil and oil products since the end of March, combined with a abrupt fall in the price of ethanol in April, caused significant inventories losses in the second quarter. To mitigate these effects, the company acted promptly with initiatives to retain cash and reduce expenses in several areas, which made it possible to reduce general, administrative and sales expenses by 32% in the annual comparison.

Notes to the Parent’s Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)


The level of default recorded a slight increase and remained at regular levels for the period. In the third quarter, it is observed a gradual evolution in the volumes sold of fuels over the quarter and an improvement in the operating environment, which enabled a significant recovery of the results in the second half of 2020 compared to the second quarter of 2020. In the fourth quarter, the volume sold was 5% higher than the third quarter, with an 18% growth in the otto cycle, as a result of the gradual recovery over the months, attenuated by the 5% reduction in diesel.

 

Extrafarma presented a reduction in revenues approximately of R$ 45 million in the second quarter, mainly due to the temporary closure of stores located in malls and of the reduction of operation hours in stores that remained open. To oppose this effect, sales were implemented through alternative delivery channels and partnerships with delivery applications. In addition, the extension of Provisional Measure 936 by the government, involving the suspension of contracts and temporary reduction in wages, other internal productivity gain initiatives, contributed to the reduction of expenses in the amount of R$ 8 million, minimizing the impact on the second quarter’s result. In the third quarter, Extrafarma reopened the stores located in malls, contributing to an increase in revenue and cost dilution compared to the second quarter. During the fourth quarter, stores located in malls remained with a flow of people below the pre-pandemic period.

Main risks and associated measures

 

Credit risk - the subsidiary Ipiranga implemented a help package for Ipiranga resellers, including anticipation of sales credits through the Abastece Aí application, postponement of lease and financing payments and temporary suspension of volume performance clauses. These actions softened the impacts of the pandemic on Ipiranga’s clients' financial condition and, consequently, mitigated its potential effects on Ipiranga's default rates, that remained at the same levels as 2019. The effects of expected losses on doubtful accounts of quarter ended December 31, 2020 are disclosed in Notes 5 and 33.d.

 

Risk of impairment and intangible assets of indefinite useful life - the Company and its subsidiaries reviewed the projections used in impairment tests and assets allocated to cash generation units, considering the current impacts of the pandemic. The impairment tests did not indicate the need to recognize a provision for losses as of December 31, 2020.

 

Risk of realization of deferred tax assets - the Company and its subsidiaries realized technical feasibility study of the constitution and realization of deferred tax credits, considering the current projections approved by the Board of Directors for each business segment and did not identify the need for write-offs for the period ended on December 31, 2020.

 

Risks in financial instruments - the increase in volatility in financial markets may impact financial results according to sensitivity analyzes presented in Note 33.

 

Liquidity risk – with the objective to strengthen the Company's liquidity and cash position, in view of the uncertainty generated by the pandemic, at the end of March and start April 2020, the Company and the subsidiary IPP contracted R$ 1.5 billion in new financing maturing in one year.

 

Of this total, R$ 1.3 billion was obtained through the issuance of promissory notes with credit in April 2020 of which R$ 0.3 billion was paid in advance in November 2020. In addition, as a measure of cash containment, the Company announced in April a reduction of approximately 30% in its investment plan for 2020 and in August, the management opted to not pay interim dividends for the year of 2020. As stated in the Bylaws, the minimum mandatory dividends will be paid after the disclosure of the year's results.


In July 2020, the Company reopened bonds issued on the market maturing in 2029 and raised US$ 350 million with a coupon of 5.25% per year. The proceeds were used to pay debts maturing in the short term, allowing the Company's debt profile to be lengthened, in addition to strengthening its cash position.

 

The management of the Company and its subsidiaries maintained discipline in control of costs and expenses to preserve cash in all business and selectivity in the allocation of capital without compromising sustainable business growth.

2. Presentation of financial statements and summary of significant accounting policies

 

The parent’s separate and consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the accounting policies adopted in Brazil.

 

The accounting policies adopted in Brazil include those in the Brazilian corporate law and in the Pronouncements, Orientations and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and approved by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

 

All relevant specific information of the financial statements, and only this information, were presented and correspond to that used by the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ Management.

 

The presentation currency of the Company’s financial statements is the Brazilian Real (“R$”), which is the Company’s functional currency.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries applied the accounting policies described below in a consistent manner for all years presented in these financial statements.

 

a. Recognition of revenue

 

Revenue of sales and services rendered is measured at the value of the consideration that the Company's subsidiaries expect to be entitled to, net of sales returns, discounts, amortization of contractual assets with customers and other deductions, if applicable, being recognized as the entity fulfills its performance obligation and freight mode of delivery. At Ipiranga, the revenue from sales of fuels and lubricants is recognized when the products are delivered to gas stations and to large consumers. At Ultragaz, revenue from sales of LPG is recognized when the products are delivered to customers at home, to independent dealers and to industrial and commercial customers. At Extrafarma, the revenue from sales of pharmaceuticals is recognized when the products are delivered to end user customers in own drugstores and when the products are delivered to independent resellers. At Oxiteno, the revenue from sales of chemical products is recognized when the products are delivered to industrial customers. At Ultracargo, the revenue provided from storage services is recognized as services are performed. The breakdowns of revenues from sales and services are shown in Notes 26 and 32.

 

Amortization of contractual assets with customers for the exclusive rights in Ipirangas reseller service stations and the bonuses paid in performance obligation sales are recognized in the income statement as a deduction of the revenue from sale according to the conditions established in the agreements which is reviewed as per the changes occurred in the agreements (see Notes 2.f and 11).

 

The am/pm franchising upfront fee received by Ipiranga is deferred and recognized in profit or loss as the entity fulfills each performance obligation throughout the terms of the agreements with the franchisees. For more information, see Note 23.a.

 

Deferred revenue from loyalty program is recognized in the income statement when the points are redeemed, on which occasion the costs incurred are also recognized in profit or loss. Deferred revenue of unredeemed points is also recognized in profit or loss when points expire. For more information, see Note 23.b.

Costs of products sold and services provided include goods (mainly fuels, lubricants, LPG, and pharmaceutical products), raw materials (chemicals and petrochemicals) and production, distribution, storage, and fulfillment costs.

 

Exchange variations and the results of derivative financial instruments are presented in the statement of profit and loss on financial expenses.

 

Research and development expenses are recognized in the statements of profit or loss in general and administrative expenses and amounted to R$ 63,746 in 2020 (R$ 61,589 in 2019). 

 

b. Cash and cash equivalents

 

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

 

c. Financial assets  

 

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 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 of non- 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 33.

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.a and 33.d.3). The expected 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.

 

Reseller financing is provided at subsidized rate for renovation and upgrading of service stations, purchase of products and development of the automotive fuels and lubricants distribution market (see Notes 5.b and 33.d.3). The terms of reseller financing range between 12 and 60 months, with an average term of 40 months. The minimum and maximum subsisted interest rates are 0% per month and 1% per month respectively. These financing are remeasured at a market rate for working capital loans and the remeasurement adjustment between the market rate and the rate subsidized is recognized as a reduction to the reseller’s revenue at the beginning of the contract. Throughout the contract, the interest appropriated by the market rate is recognized to the financial result.

 

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’s separate 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 decreased by lease payments made. The interests 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, considering, if it is the case, any penalties provided in contractual clauses. The Company and its subsidiaries have no intention in purchasing the underlying asset. The Company and its subsidiaries periodically review the existence of an indication that the rights to use assets may be impaired (see Note 2.u).

 

Right to use assets include amounts related to area port leases grants (see Note 34.c).

 

The Company and its subsidiaries apply the recognition’s exemptions to 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, and are recognized 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, less the provisions for losses and, if applicable, adjusted to present value.

 

l. Financial liabilities

 

The financial liabilities include trade payables, loans, financing, 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 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 asset. The amounts recognized as a liability accrue interest using the Amplified 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.

 

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 is more-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 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 and when these investments are disposed of. The balance in cumulative other comprehensive income on December 31, 2020 was a gain of R$ 231,596 (gain of R$ 102,427 on December 31, 2019) - see Note 25.g.2.

 

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

(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 2020 amounted to R$ 30,928 (gain of R$ 2,444  in 2019).

 

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 33), the determination of the expected losses on doubtful accounts (Notes 2.d, 5 and 33.d.3), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Notes 2.e and 6), the estimative of 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 24 and 33.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 reporting period the existence of any indication that an asset may be impaired. To intangible assets with undefined useful life the review is done annually. If there is an indication of impairment, 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 a pro-rata basis. An impairment of goodwill cannot be reversed. For other assets, impairment losses may be reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if the impairment had not been recognized.

 

No impairment was recognized on December 31, 2020. 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. The non-controlling interest in the acquired company is measured based on its interest in net assets identified in the acquired company. 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 acquisitions are recorded in the statement of profit or loss when incurred. For the year ended on December 31, 2020 there are not business combinations.

 

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 in Brazil, according to Law 11,638/07 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, financing, debentures, and leases payable in financing activities and 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

 

There are not standards, amendments and interpretations to IFRS issued by the IASB which are effective and could have impact in these financial statements to December 31, 2020 that have not been adopted by the Company.

 

z. Authorization for issuance of the financial statements

 

These financial statements was authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 24, 2021.

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.

Non-current

 767,360

 

a.1 The recoverable ICMS net of provision for losses is substantially related to the following subsidiaries and operations:

 

(i) The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Empresa Carioca de Produtos Químicos S.A. (“EMCA”) e Oleoquímica Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Químicos Ltda. (“Oleoquímica”) accumulate credits in the amount of R$ 195,037 (R$ 151,393 as of December 31, 2019) once predominantly carried out export operations, interstate outflow or deferred ICMS of products purchased within the State of Bahia;

 

(ii) The subsidiaries Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”), Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”), Ultragaz, AMPM, Iconic Lubrificantes S.A. (“Iconic”) have credits in the amount of R$ 754,882 (R$ 563,565 as of December 31, 2019) deconstituted, mainly, by the following natures: a) transactions of inputs and outputs of products subject to taxation of the own ICMS; b) interstate outflows of oil-related products, whose ICMS was prepaid by the supplier (Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”)), in the case of the subsidiaries Ipiranga, Bahiana and Ultragaz and c) credits for refunds of the ICMS-ST (tax substitution) overpaid when the estimated calculation base is used higher than the actual operation practiced by the subsidiary Ipiranga;

 

(iii) The subsidiary Extrafarma has ICMS credits and ICMS-ST (tax substitution) advances in the amount of R$ 179,405 (R$ 157,713 as of December 31, 2019) on the inflow and outflow of operations carried out by its distribution centers, mostly in the North and Northeast, as well as refunds of the ICMS-ST portion overpaid when the estimated calculation base is used higher than the actual operation.

 

The amounts of recoverable ICMS credits are classified as current assets and consumed by the operations itself, being a revolving credit, which means that the credits are monthly offset with the tax payable on sales and new credits are generated by the acquisition of inputs, as well as by the State's refund on tax substitution operations. Management estimates the realization of the credits classified in non-current assets within an average term of up to 10 years.

The provision for ICMS losses relates to tax credits of the subsidiaries whose amounts are not included within the term determined by its policy.

 

a.2 The balance refers, mainly, to the PIS and COFINS credits recorded under Laws 10,637/2002 and 10,833/2003 in the amount of R$ 651,051 (R$ 539,026 as of December 31, 2019), whose consumption will occur through the offset of debts administered by the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service (“RFB”) in an estimated term of 2 years by management. The subsidiaries Extrafarma, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda (“Tropical”), EMCA, Oleoquímica and Oxiteno S.A. have credits in the amount of R$ 645,978 (R$ 391,544 as of December 31, 2019) resulting from a definitive favorable decision on the exclusion of ICMS from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS (see Note 22.d.1). For these cases, management estimates the realization of these credits within up to 5 years.

 

a.3 On March 15, 2017, due to general repercussions, the STF decided that ICMS does not compose the basis for calculating PIS and COFINS. The subsidiaries Extrafarma, Tequimar, Tropical and Oxiteno SA have credits originated from final definitive decisions on the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base (see note 22.d) , having been the respective subsidies to prove the amounts to be refunded properly confirmed by management and recorded in income, until the present year of 2020, the amount of R$ 746,962 (R$ 338,110 until 2019). For these cases, management estimates that these credits will be realized within up to 5 years.

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 members are not eligible to the stock plan. The fair value of the awards was 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.

In order to evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets, the taxable income projections from business plans of each segment of the Company which indicates trends and perspectives, demand effects, competition and other economic factors, and that represent the management’s best estimate about the economic conditions existing during the period of realization of the deferred tax asset were taken into account.

 

The main key assumptions used to calculate the realization of deferred tax assets are: growth in Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), exchange rate, basic interest rate (SELIC) and DI, inflation rate, commodity price index, among others. The balance of R$ 1,588,001 was supported by the technical study on taxable profit projections for the realization of deferred tax assets, examined by the Fiscal Council (“CF”) and by the Audit and Risks Committee (“CAR”).

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

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

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

(1) Based on the legislation in force the project belongs to the sectors identified as priorities for the development of the Northeast region of Brazil. Combined with Tequimar's successful track record in meeting the requirements for maintaining and renewing the incentive, as well as in the fact that several investments have been made in the modernization of the production process of the unit that is the object of the benefit – Suape Terminal, the request for the extension of the incentive for another 10 years will be filed in 2021 at SUDENE. The renovation request is usually made in the year after the year in which the incentive expires and generates retroactive effects as of January of the year in which the request is filed.

 

(2) The request for renovation of the Oleoquímica incentive will be filed in 2022, for the same reasons described in note 1 above.

 

(3) The request to transfer the right to reduce the IRPJ to Oxiteno S.A. was submitted to SUDENE and waits decision.

 

d. Income and social contribution taxes carryforwards

 

In December 31, 2020, the Company and certain subsidiaries had tax loss carryforwards related to income tax (IRPJ) of R$ 1,687,482 (R$ 1,268,964 as of December 31, 2019) and negative basis of CSLL of R$ 1,689,232 (R$ 1,270,714 as of December 31, 2019), whose compensations are limited to 30% of taxable income in a given tax year, which do not expire.

 On December 31, 2020, 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 main key-assumptions used by the Company to calculate the value in use are described below:

 

76

Ultrapar Participações S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Parent’s Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)


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, 2020, the discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 8.5% to 11.0% 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 2021 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 did not result in the recognition of impairment. In the year ended December 31, 2019 recorded an impairment provision in the amount of R$ 593,280 for subsidiary Extrafarma (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: integrated management and control, financial management, foreign trade, industrial automation, operational and storage management, accounting information, and other systems. Also include expenses related to software in progress in the amount of R$ 35,718 on December 31, 2020 and R$ 56,472 on December 31, 2019.

 

c. Technology

 

The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A. and Oleoquímica recognize as technology certain rights of use held by them. Such licenses include the production of ethylene oxide, ethylene glycols, ethanolamines, glycol ethers, ethoxylates, solvents, fatty acids from vegetable oils, fatty alcohols, and specialty chemicals, which are products that are supplied to various industries. 

 

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

 

f. Decarbonisation credits

 

The decarbonization credits (“CBIO”) acquired are recorded at acquisition cost and are retired in the year to fulfillment the individual target set by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (“ANP”).

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 May 2020, the Deliberative Council of Ultraprev approved the use of the reversion fund in the amount of R$ 47,088, which R$ 11,020 used to deduct the sponsors’ normal contributions. The balance of R$ 36,068 on December 31, 2020 will be used to deduct normal sponsor contributions in an average period between 10 and 70 months depending on the sponsor.

 

In 2020, the subsidiaries contributed to Ultraprev with R$ 20,505, including the use of the reversion fund of R$ 11,020 (in 2019 the subsidiaries contributed to Ultraprev with R$ 21,357), which is recognized as expense in the income statement. The total number of participating employees as of December 31, 2020 was 7,290 active participants and 361 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 23 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, 2020, as shown below, were determined based on possible changes of assumptions occurring at the reporting date of the financial statements, keeping all other assumptions constant.

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.

b.2.3 The subsidiary IPP became party to two administrative proceedings filed by CADE, related to allegations of anti-competitive practices in the city of Joinville, State of Santa Catarina and in the Distrito Federal. The process related to the anti-competitive acts of Joinville, established in October 2015, is under judgment (until now two favorable votes and one unfavorable vote have been pronounced) while the lawsuit related to the Distrito Federal, from an administrative inquiry initiated in May 2012, which was converted into an administrative proceeding in June 2020, is in the stage of presentation of defense.

In this case, there was an option for the judicial discussion of the assessment and penalty applied, which has as last relevant movement the presentation of a reply by IPP, and it is certain that a decision has already been issued granting protection to suspend the enforceability of the fine. Management did not recognize a provision for these contingencies, supported by the opinion of external legal counsel that classified the probability of loss as remote.

 

b.2.4 On November 29, 2016, a technical opinion was issued by the Operational Support Center for Execution (Centro de Apoio Operacional à Execução - CAEX), a technical body linked to the São Paulo State Public Prosecutor (“MPE”), presenting a proposal of compensation for the alleged environmental damages caused by the fire on April 2nd, 2015 at the Santos Terminal of the subsidiary Tequimar. This technical opinion is non-binding, with no condemnatory or sanctioning nature, and will still be evaluated by the authorities and parties. The subsidiary disagrees with the methodology and the assumptions adopted in the proposal and is negotiating an agreement with the MPE and the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor (“MPF”), since the beginning of the investigation and currently there is no civil lawsuit filed on the matter. The negotiations relate to in natura repair of the any damages. Thus, on May 15, 2019, the subsidiary Tequimar signed a Partial Conduct Adjustment Commitment Agreement (“TAC”) in the amount of R$ 67,539 with the MPE and MPF to compensate for diffuse and collective damages of any kind arising from the fish mortality and the damage caused to the ichthyofauna. The negotiations on compensation for other alleged damages are still ongoing and once concluded, the payments related to the project costs may affect the future Company’s financial statements. In the criminal sphere, the MPF denounced the subsidiary Tequimar, which was summoned and replied to the complaint on June 19, 2018. On September 12, 2019, at a hearing in the federal court of Santos, the MPF and Tequimar agreed, and the judicial authority approved, the conditional suspension of the criminal proceedings for a period of 2 years, when Tequimar shall then prove compliance with the execution of the Partial TAC signed, with the obligation of a complementary allocation of R$ 13,000 to the Fisheries Management Project, to obtain the definitive filing of the process. In addition, as of December 31, 2020, there are contingent liabilities not recognized related to lawsuits in the amount of R$ 4,428 (R$ 11,403 as of December 31, 2019).

b.3.1 The Petrochemical Industry Labor Union (Sindiquímica), of which the employees of Oxiteno S.A. and EMCA, companies located in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex, are members, filed, in 1990, collective lawsuits against the subsidiaries, demanding the compliance of the fourth section of the collective labor agreement 1989/1990 (CCT 1989/1990), which provided for a salary, adjustment in lieu of the salary policies practiced. The collective actions against the subsidiaries, which have already become final, were judged in a favorable way to Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA. At the same time, in 1990, there was the proposal for a collective agreement of, which appeared in the collective action, the Union of Employees and the Union of Companies (SINPEQ), discussing the same object (validity of the fourth clause of CCT 1989/1990). This action that transit judged only in October 2019, and remained unfavorable to SINPEQ, having the STF declared valid the fourth clause. During the process of collective agreement between the Unions, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica. In October 2015, Sindiquímica filed enforcement lawsuits against Oxiteno Nordeste and, in 2017, EMCA, because these companies did not sign the agreement of 2010 with Sindiquímica. In addition to collective actions, individual claims containing the same object have been filed. In all the ongoing lawsuits whose object is the fourth clause, all applicable legal measures have been taken to defend companies and there are not new final decisions in addition to those judged in favor of companies in the 1990s.

 

c. Lubricants operation between IPP and Chevron

The liability provisions of the Chevron shareholder in the amount of R$ 101,663 (R$ 5,423 as of December 31, 2019) are reflected in the consolidation of these financial statements. Additionally, in connection with the business combination, a provision in the amount of R$ 198,900 was recognized on December 1, 2017 due contingent liabilities, amounted to R$ 102,777 as of December 31, 2020 (R$ 188,073 as of December 31, 2019. The amounts of provisions of Chevron's liability recognized in the business combination will be reimbursed to subsidiary Iconic in the event of losses and an indemnity asset was hereby constituted in the same amount, without the need to establish a provision for uncollectible amounts

 

d. Exclusion of ICMS from the calculation basis of PIS and COFINS

 

In March 15, 2017, STF decided that ICMS is not included in the PIS and COFINS basis. All subsidiaries of the Company have actions aimed at obtaining this right, as long as applicable. The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Extrafarma, Tequimar and Tropical have final and unappealable decision, and management confirmed the respective subsidies to prove the amounts to be refunded and recorded in results (see Note 7.a.3). As a result of injunctions obtained, some subsidiaries have already excluded ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation base in the amount of R$ 215,365 until December 31, 2020 (R$ 141,618 as of December 31, 2019). The amounts to be recovered from the other subsidiaries will be recognized to the extent that there are both the final and unappealable decision of the individual action and confirmation of the evidences.

The Company's management emphasizes that it is possible for the STF to modulate the effects of its judgment, either by restricting its effectiveness or determining when the decision will become effective, or by reinterpreting the value of ICMS to be excluded. After the decision of the STF has become final and unappealable, the Company's management will assess the impact on the claims of its subsidiaries, which may result in a reduction in the claimed tax credits.

33. 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 other directors designated by the CFO. The Committee holds quarterly 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 CA of 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 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.

 

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:

b.2 Sensitivity analysis of assets and liabilities in foreign currency

 

Scenarios I, II and III were based on 10%, 25% and 50% variations, respectively, applied on the net position of the Company exposed to the currency risk, simulating the effects of appreciation and devaluation of the Real in the income statement and the equity:

 

The table below shows, in the three scenarios, the effects of exchange rate changes on the net liability position of R$ 1,553,435 in foreign currency as of December 31, 2020:

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 25.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.

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 expected 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 full write-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.

d.4 Price risk

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to commodity price risk, due the fluctuation in prices for diesel and gasoline, among others.

 

To mitigate the risk of the fluctuation of diesel and gasoline prices, the Company and its subsidiaries permanently monitor the market, seeking to protection of price movements through hedge transactions for cargo purchased in the international market, used contracts of derivative for heating oil (diesel) and RBOB (gasoline) traded on the stock exchange. These products are traded on the stock exchange and are subjected to the impacts of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors outside the control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

e. Liquidity risk

 

The Company and its subsidiaries’ main sources of liquidity derive from (i) cash, cash equivalents, and financial investments, (ii) cash generated from operations and (iii) financing. The Company and its subsidiaries believe that these sources are sufficient to satisfy their current funding requirements, which include, but are not limited to, working capital, capital expenditures, amortization of debt, and payment of dividends.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries periodically examine opportunities for acquisitions and investments. They consider different types of investments, either directly, through joint ventures, or through associated companies, and finance such investments using cash generated from operations, debt financing, through capital increases, or through a combination of these methods.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries believe to have enough working capital and sources of financing to satisfy their current needs. The gross indebtedness due over the next twelve months totaled R$ 3,620,550, including estimated interests on loans (for quantitative information, see Note 16.a). Furthermore, the investment for 2021 totaled R$ 1,890,763. On December 31, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 7,694,752 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, 2020 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 % 2.29% to 2021, 3.74% to 2022 and 4.84% to 2023; (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 4.86 in 2021, R$ 4.33 in 2022, R$ 4.17 in 2023, R$ 4.20 in 2024, R$ 4.22 in 2025, R$ 4.24 in 2026, R$ 4.26 in 2027, R$ 4.28 in 2028 and R$ 4.30 in 2029; (iii) TJLP of 4.39%; (iv) IGP-M of 4.79% in 2021, 4.02% in 2022, 3.25% as from 2023; (v) IPCA of 3.6% in 2021, 3.3% in 2022, 3.0% 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 December 31, 2020 and on the futures curve of LIBOR (ICE – Intercontinental Exchange) and commodities heating oil contracts and RBOB quoted on New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) on December 31, 2020. 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.

Notes to the Parent’s Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(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 and the Company calculates its fair value through methodologies commonly used in the market.

 

  • The subscription warrants – indemnification was 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 24).

 

  • The fair value calculation of notes in the foreign market is based on the quoted price in an active market (see Note 16.b).

 

The fair value of other financial investments, financing and leases payable was determined using calculation methodologies commonly used for mark-to-market reporting, which consist of calculating future cash flows associated with each instrument adopted and adjusting them to present value at the market rates as of 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 24). 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.

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,  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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, management adopted as a base 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$ 8.23 (R$ 5.76 as of December 31, 2019) in the base scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the base 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company used the futures curve of the DI x Pre contract quoted on B3 as of December 31, 2020 for each of the swap and debt (hedged item) maturities, to determine the base scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the base scenario pre-fixed interest rate.

 

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

For the sensitivity analysis of the commodity price swings hedging instruments on December 31, 2020 and 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 base scenario commodity price.

 

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and the objects hedged on December 31, 2020 and 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:

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, 2020, these rates were R$ 8.37 and R$ 2.67 per ton for Aratu and Suape, respectively and R$ 0.78 per m³ for Itaqui. According to contractual conditions and tolerances, there are not material pending issues regarding the minimum purchase limitsof the contract.

Message from the Management 2020


In 2020, our businesses began the year on a promising note, driven by the positive macroeconomic outlook in Brazil. However, from March, the novel coronavirus pandemic brought severe consequences for the global economy, strongly affecting Brazil. In addition to the economic impacts, precautionary measures of social distancing and restrictions on personal mobility accelerated the tendency towards structural changes, among them remote working and virtual interconnectivity among people.


We were quick to adapt our operations at the first signs of the pandemic, allowing us to continue our role as a provider of essential products and services to the society, with no interruptions or discontinuity. We supported our resellers and partners, took care of our employees’ health and safety, maintained our financial soundness, and contributed to the national effort of providing a social safety net on different fronts. Crowning this endeavor and dedication, in 2020 we reported good results and took important steps to accelerate growth and value creation for the Company in the future.


In order to help curbing the effects of the pandemic, we dedicated approximately R$ 37 million to social initiatives, including the construction of hospitals, donations of basic baskets of goods, meals, hospital equipment, LPG, and other materials, in addition to items of hygiene.


In light of the uncertainties caused by the pandemic in the first few months and to ensure a continued high level of liquidity, we adopted a process of greater selectivity in our investments, raised new lines of financing and negotiated more elastic payment terms with our suppliers. On the other side, we worked with our partners and clients, negotiating measures to ease pressures on their working capital, thus contributing to ensure the integrity and continuity of the value chains we are part of.


The year 2020 underscored the resilience of our business portfolio, with growing results at all our businesses with the exception of Ipiranga, which the activity was directly impacted by social distancing measures and restrictions on mobility.


The net revenue amounted to R$ 81.2 billion, 9% less than 2019, and was directly affected by the pandemic. Despite this, the Company recorded an EBITDA of R$ 3.5 billion, or 4.3% EBITDA margin, representing an improved margin compared with the 3.1% in 2019. Net income increased from R$ 403 million in 2019 to R$ 928 million in 2020, R$ 480 million of which will be distributed via dividends to the shareholders. The operational cash generation (after investments) was a record, totaling R$ 2.1 billion and contributing to the gradual reduction in our financial leverage. We closed the year with a cash position of R$ 8.7 billion and duration of our debt standing at 4.6 years.


Detailing the performance of our businesses, beginning with Ultragaz, we were able to report record results in 2020 based on demand growth for LPG for residential consumption and initiatives adopted for reducing costs and expenses. The company continues to invest in expanding its footprint in the North and the Northeast regions of the country, in the development of new digital channels with clients and resellers, and in the development of new LPG applications for corporate use, thereby opening up new markets and growth fronts.


Ultracargo was also able to report record results with the expansions concluded at the port terminals of Santos and Itaqui, as well as gains in productivity and efficiency. The company continued investing to expand capacity and capillarity at domestic ports throughout Brazil, including a new terminal in Vila do Conde (PA), providing greater level of competitiveness in the North region. Optimization in the execution of investment projects, both in timeframe and cost, has been key to allow growing cash generation and return on invested capital.


Oxiteno reported a year of robust growth in results, driven by the increase in demand for specialty chemicals, mainly in the home & personal care and crop solutions segments. Currency devaluation also helped to improve results since many of the company’s products remain referenced to international prices. Additionally, the company optimized its cost structure and increased its operational efficiency, further ramping up capacity utilization at its plant in the United States together with its penetration in that market.


Ipiranga was the business most affected by the pandemic, like other companies in the sector, due to the strong retraction in demand for fuels, most notably in the second quarter. Strong price volatility throughout the year also contributed to a pressure on margins at both distributors and service station networks nationwide. In face of these challenges, the company took firm measures to reduce costs and expenses, as well as in the management of working capital and in the selectivity of investments, measures that helped to compensate a large portion of the reduction in revenues and to generate a solid operational cash flow. It is important to highlight Ipiranga’s leading role in offering support mechanisms to its resellers during the most critical phase of the pandemic. Not only did this contribute to ensuring uninterrupted fuel supplies to the population, but it also served to strengthen the bond with its network.

Still in the context of Ipiranga, AmPm concluded a comprehensive project for reviewing its business model, involving the repositioning of the brand, a revision of the product sales mix, new store layout and the development of sales through digital channels. In addition to the traditional franchise model, AmPm began to manage 55 company-operated stores during the year, with promising initial results.


Extrafarma was also directly affected by the pandemic with some of its drugstores (in shopping centers, about 7% of the network) closed or with restricted opening hours for a large part of the year. Despite this, the company registered record results in the second half, thanks to greater selectivity in expansion, a more rigorous process of closing underperforming units, investments in logistics and IT and gains in productivity and management of expenses. Private label products and sales through digital channels presented significant progress in 2020, with good prospects for the future.


Finally, in July we created a new company in the digital payments and electronic retailing segment combining the “abastece ” (“fill up here”) app and the loyalty program “Km de Vantagens” (Km of Advantages Program), the largest one in the country. This initiative is designed to accelerate the capture of value of these platforms and expansion in the services provided, with the potential for creating a digital ecosystem of sizeable proportions and capillarity. Since August, when the new app was launched, more than 2.3 million digital accounts have been created with the total number of transactions processed surpassing R$ 3.5 billion, demonstrating rapid consumer acceptance, as well as the growth potential of the business.


We are beginning 2021 well positioned for the future. On one hand, we believe our strategic orientation of prioritizing the capital allocation to the downstream value chain of the oil & gas sector leaves us in a good position to explore opportunities arising from the opening up of the refining market to the private sector, as well as the expansion of the natural gas chain in Brazil. On the other hand, we have improved our management and governance model, with the businesses increasing their accountability for results, a greater integration between the Executive Board and Board of Directors, and greater agility and soundness in the decision-making process. And finally, we continue to dedicate efforts to strengthening our pipeline of business leaders, the foundation for sustaining growth and the continuing value creation for the Company.


Our investment plan for 2021 totals R$ 1.9 billion and exceeds the amounts invested in the past two years, with expansion projects being concentrated on Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo. Acquisitions that may occur are not taken into consideration in this plan and will represent additional investments.


Finally, we have intensified our attention and dedication of resources to themes related to ESG. In 2020, we developed our materiality matrix, approved our Sustainability Policy, and published our first Integrated Report following the GRI guidelines. In 2021, the ESG front will boosted by the creation of the Sustainability and Corporate Affairs executive position. This will accelerate and integrate the efforts and actions of the various businesses of the Group in a unified and objective agenda with enhanced visibility, also including clearly defined and disseminated targets.


We would like to thank all our stakeholders for their trust and support. A special thanks goes to all our employees, both those on the front line as well as those working remotely from home, for their tireless dedication and solid commitment with our purpose, which is to create value for the society by investing in companies that are sustainable and essential for people’s lives.

Since the outset of the coronavirus pandemic, Ultrapar and its subsidiaries have been operating on multiple fronts to ensure the health and safety of its employees and partners, the stability and continuity of its operations and the financial soundness of the Company.


The home working regime was immediately adopted for employees in administrative functions with all the necessary support for maintaining activities.

Innovation


The Ultra Group companies have their own processes and structure for innovation directed towards their chosen markets. To foster the exchange of experiences and ideas as well as to encourage and recognize the main initiatives of innovation, the Group has an Innovation Committee with representatives from all the businesses, thus making for an agile and dynamic transversal vision of the theme in the organization. This committee is headed up by an Ultrapar executive officer, a measure of the importance with which innovation is viewed and facilitating communication and guidance of activities at a senior management level. In 2020, 113 initiatives were cataloged and shared in committee discussions.


Structured in 2020, Ultra Venture Capital is part of the innovative environment of the Ultra Group, investing in promising companies able to self-leverage or involved in activities complementary to those of the Company, in addition to supporting the mapping and sharing of startups and new technologies. The fund is expected to invest up to R$ 150 million over the course of five years.


Ultragaz accelerated digitization and multi channeling with the launch of a new self-service portal for clients in the corporate segment and new digital sales channels in the residential segment, such as the Ultragaz app with a series of functions providing a better experience for the clients and reseller partners. The company continues to focus on innovation and has expanded the development and the proposal of new solutions which add value and are user-friendly for clients both in the bulk and residential segments, of particular note being the initial testing of a lighter LPG bottle, ensuring improved ergonomic qualities when handled. To stimulate new ideas in the organization, Ultragaz works actively with open innovation initiatives, together with universities, technological partners and startup hubs, feeding the innovation ecosystem and promoting the ownership spirit. As an example, the company held the Ultragaz Open Innovation Challenge in 2020, an initiative with the aim of challenging junior companies throughout the country to develop innovative solutions which will help small businesses recover from the current scenario of crisis. The winning group was hired by Ultragaz to support the structuring and development of the solution proposed in the challenge.


In 2020, Ultracargo launched Conecta, a digital transformation project. It provides a new way of looking at the architecture of systems and processes with a view to achieving superior levels of operational efficiency. In the construction underway at the new Vila do Conde port terminal in Barcarena (PA), the company will have the benefit of automated transfer systems, the result of an innovative initiative, guaranteeing greater safety and operational efficiency.


At Oxiteno, the digital transformation was leveraged through the creation of XLab, a collaborative space projected for creating more favorable interactions and exchange of ideas. Using the design thinking approach and state of the art technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robotization and data analysis, solutions have been developed for optimizing company processes, for identifying new business opportunities and improving the client experience. Oxiteno’s focus is on the development of new solutions in co-creation with clients, always with the idea of combining high performance with reduction in environmental impacts. In 2020, the company also invested in open innovation projects, in conjunction with universities, startups, and partner companies, being they clients or suppliers. The company has a robust portfolio of R&D projects, most notable of these in 2020 being: (i) the creation of new research fronts with the aim of leveraging existing markets and introducing Oxiteno to new markets; (ii) the execution of projects with startups; (iii) the creation of a sustainability roadmap for incorporating this concept in the management of innovation and R&D projects; and (iv) the preparation of a structured process for the products launch plan, thereby enhancing agility. During the year, 48 products were developed and launched.

Since 2019 through the Turbo innovation hub, Ipiranga fosters an innovative culture among its employees and reinforces the positioning of the company as an innovative brand in the market. Currently, the hub has a base of more than 1,300 startups mapped according to the themes in which Ipiranga has an interest such as Mobility, Energy, Retailing, Logistics and Efficiency. In 2020, Turbo trained more than 120 employees in agile methods and organized talks with professionals, experts in their fields, on current and inspirational themes for fostering the dissemination of innovation in the organization and to accelerate the development of those initiatives in the work in progress category.


Extrafarma also accelerated the digitization process with the launch of the delivery service via WhatsApp as well as e-commerce (sales via the internet). The digital channels are expected to contribute to an expansion in sales and are in line with the current strategy, contributing to enhanced returns from the existing network. In 2020, one more step in the process of personalization was taken with the launch of the personalized discount coupon at all the drugstores as part of the drive to increase average ticket and customer loyalty. Extrafarma also launched the expansion of its own Be Better private label, launching a new line of basic care and vitamin products. As part of the process of expanding the offer of pharmaceutical services to customers, Extrafarma entered a partnership with the largest vaccination clinic in Pará, with the rollout of a vaccination room adjacent to a drugstore. Again in 2020, all checkout and counter systems were replaced, giving a better purchasing experience and higher productivity at the points of sale.

The Shared Services Center (CSC) also launched its connection program with startups in 2020, with challenges for solving the needs in the areas of Accounting, Fiscal, IT and Treasury.

ESG performance

Sustainability management

In 2020, the sustainability agenda was given an even greater importance in the Group, with the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board periodically monitoring and managing this theme. During the year, the Company undertook a reevaluation of the materiality assessment, which looks at the most critical sustainability themes for the Group. The review sought to guarantee the alignment between the material themes, the long-term strategic business plan, and the commitment to the sustainable development goals of the United Nations Organization.


Some of the themes were grouped together and others renamed, which will facilitate monitoring progress. There are eight materiality themes:

  • Energy transition
  • Eco-efficient operations
  • Ethics and integrity
  • Data privacy
  • Culture of innovation, inclusion and excellence
  • Health and safety
  • Relations with the local community
  • Value chain

Currently, the Ultra Group is working on the definition of the goals to be reached by 2030 for each material theme. Task forces with representatives from all the businesses were set up, contributing to the definition of the monitoring indicators and the action plans for achieving the goals.


To underscore the commitment to accountability and transparency, as from the third quarter 2020, the quarterly earnings releases disclosed to the market are now including a specific section on the main highlights and updates relating to Ultra Group’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.


At the same time, the management of sustainability at each one of the businesses also saw progress. Ultracargo, Ipiranga and Extrafarma concluded their materiality assessments in 2020. Ipiranga also launched its sustainability strategy and policy during the year. Oxiteno continued the actions enshrined in the sustainability plan of 2030, launched in 2019, and Ultragaz updated its materiality assessment.


Energy transition


The challenges related to climate change have been driving movements in the direction of a decarbonized economy, through gains in productivity and efficiency and the gradual substitution of fossil for renewable sources in the production and consumption of energy. With a perspective which considers risks and opportunities, Ultra Group tracks the energy transition theme closely, especially in the light of its significant activities along the oil & gas chain.


While over the short term, there are opportunities for continued investments in the sector with the potential for creating value and benefits along the entire chain, the Company has included in its strategic plan potential changes over the medium and long-term in respect to the transition of the Brazilian and world energy mix. LGP is less polluting than fuels that are traditionally used for domestic cooking and, therefore, contributes to a more sustainable energy mix. The Ultra Group has structural competitive advantages in its three current businesses in the oil & gas chain – Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo, and is participating in Petrobras’ program for divesting refining assets. These are all mature businesses and generators of cash with the capacity to finance their entry into and growth of investments in the energy transition, such as natural gas, or in adjacent businesses not dependent on fossil fuels, such as convenience stores.


Since 2014, the Ultra Group has taken part in the “Disclosure, Insight, Action” program of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and in 2020, maintained a B score for the climate change theme. The Ultra Group’s performance was higher than the average for South America and the average score for the oil & gas retailing sector, both being classified with a D score. The program questionnaire is aligned to the guidelines of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TFCD). Additionally, since 2012, the Group has been a component of the Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2 B3), which encourages emitting companies to measure, disclose and monitor their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in readiness for conducting their activities in a low carbon economy.

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2020 GRAPHICS

As part of its existing business, Ipiranga already distributes ethanol and bio-diesel (biofuels of renewable origin) and has rapid charging points for electric vehicles at network service stations along the President Dutra highway between São Paulo (SP) and Rio de Janeiro (RJ), the Bandeirantes highway and city based service stations, for example. Ipiranga’s ambition is to be a key player prepared to provide its customers with the fuels of their choice. The challenges related to climate change and the energy transition are an integral part of the company’s strategic plan. In 2020, the company began the acquisition of 2.9 million CBIOs, relative to its commitment to achieving the targets under the Ministry of Mines and Energy’s Renovabio program, the National Biofuels Policy for promoting a greater consumption of renewable fuels. Ultracargo, with port terminals operating on a multi-purpose concept, has the capacity to store and handle alternative fuels to petroleum derivatives.


The businesses have structural processes for managing greenhouse gas emissions due to their activities and to structure actions for reducing and mitigating them whenever is possible. For example, Ultragaz has already established a target for reducing scope 1 emissions (direct) in relation to their historic performance. Oxiteno, which due to its industrial activities has a higher volume of scope 1 emissions among the businesses, prioritizes a continuous improvement in equipment to fulfill the commitment in its sustainability plan of reducing by 25% the intensity of emissions per ton produced by 2030. Ipiranga has maintained the Carbon Zero program since 2007, through which it monitors performance and implements strategies for reducing and compensating emissions. In order to do so, the company acquires carbon credits from projects which support the conservation of the Amazon rainforest and the development of local communities, totally compensating its scopes 1 and 2 emissions.

Eco-efficient operations


The commitment with eco-efficiency translates into initiatives for optimizing electric energy consumption, fuels and hydric resources, reduction and correct disposal of waste from the operations and preventive actions for avoiding contamination of the air, water, soil, and biodiversity. Besides the direct environmental gains, eco-efficiency can also generate opportunities for reducing costs and increasing productivity.  


Energy


Currently, Ultra Group’s head office in São Paulo (SP), Ipiranga’s head office and the building adjacent to it in Rio de Janeiro (RJ), the São Caetano (SP) base, the Paulínia (SP) pool of Ipiranga and 7 of Ultragaz’s filling bases are supplied through the free energy market. Ultracargo’s Itaqui (MA) and Aratu (BA) port terminals and Extrafarma’s Aquiraz (CE) and Benevides (PA) distribution centers also tapped the free energy market in 2020. In the case of Ultracargo, all the energy is acquired from renewable sources and there are plans afoot for the migration of the other terminals such as the Santos terminal, supplies from which are expected to begin in the first half of 2021.


Oxiteno, which has a target to reduce its energy consumption by 10% before 2030, in 2019 began the operation of its new substation at the Camaçari (BA) unit, to improving the plant’s energy efficiency, and in addition to it, the substation has the potential to generate financial gains, since it makes it possible to expand its performance in the free energy market.


Ipiranga has a partnership with GDSolar for the construction and operation of five solar energy plants for reducing electric energy costs at its service stations and franchises and for increasing the participation of renewable sources in its energy matrix. More than 50 thousand MWh/year is expected to be generated as from April 2021, enough energy to supply approximately 300 of the network’s service stations. The initiative would represent annual savings of more than R$ 70 million for the participating network.


At Extrafarma, two bio-gas plants went into service in the states of Maranhão and Pernambuco, ensuring the supply of renewable energy to 85 drugstores. In 2021, two solar energy plants will be unveiled in the states of Pará and Ceará, for supplying about 200 stores. The company is committed to supplying 90% of its drugstores from renewable energy resources with all distribution centers operating with energy supplied from the free energy market by 2025.


Water


In 2020, Ultra Group answered the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) questionnaire on water security and scored B, the same as South America as a whole and specifically, the oil & gas sector.


Ultragaz has established a target for reducing water consumption based on the result for 2019. At present, 90% of the water used for washing LPG gas bottles is reused. The project for the new bottling base under construction in Pará involves plans to evaluate rainwater capture.


Ultracargo has implemented a system of water reuse for hydrostatic tests at the Vila do Conde (PA) terminal under construction permitting an important reduction in consumption. In addition, the terminal includes a system for rainwater capture and reuse, this also to be incorporated in the expansion of the Itaqui (MA) terminal.

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2020 GRAPHICS

Oxiteno is committed to reducing water consumption by 10% and doubling reuse by 2030. In 2020, Extrafarma cut average water consumption by 20% at each drugstore. The company has also committed to working towards between 70% and 80% of its stores keeping their water consumption to within the minimum bands established by the water utilities by 2025.


Waste and effluent


Ultragaz completed the requalification of more than 2.4 million LPG bottles in 2020, exceeding its target for the year. Ultracargo has reduced the use of wood with partial substitution for reusable metallic materials on the Vila do Conde (PA) terminal. In addition, the project also contemplates the optimization of emissions and effluent treatment.


Oxiteno has undertaken the revitalization of effluent systems at the industrial units in Brazil, paving the way for routine inspections and preventive maintenance for the operational control and management of contamination of soil and groundwaters. Ipiranga has management processes in place for avoiding leakages or losses of liquid fuel and inflammatory products at the distribution bases, during transportation of the product and at the resellers’ service stations.


Extrafarma began to work on the structuring of waste collection centers, for screening, segregation and disposal of waste and will also be involved in a reverse logistics project with expired or unused medicines and covering pharmaceutical retailing and manufacturers.


Ethics and integrity


The Ultra Group remains committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Its guidelines are enshrined in the Code of Ethics and in specific corporate policies such as the Anticorruption Policy, the Anti-trust Policy and the Conflicts of Interest Policy and Transactions with Related Parties.


All the initiatives connected to ethics and integrity are included in the Ethics and Compliance Program managed by the Risks, Compliance and Audit department and applied to all the businesses. The results of the program are monitored directly by the Conduct Committee.


In 2020, the first Ethics and Compliance Program report was published together with the second diagnosis for evaluating the maturity of the compliance culture among teams, with more than a thousand employees participating. The Ultra Group’s consolidated classification was the Initial Proactive profile in accordance with the Hearts and Minds assessment, attesting to a high degree of adherence to the culture of compliance and proactivity at all levels of the Company.


On the training front, instruction was given to reinforce the guidelines in the Code of Ethics, anti-corruption, anti-trust, and conflict of interests. In the context of these themes, training, and campaigns for raising awareness are extended to business partners particularly in the Ipiranga network and to resellers at Ultragaz, given their responsibility for direct contact with the end customer. More than 15 thousand reputational investigations were carried out for supporting the engagement of suppliers, service providers and business partners as well as the continuing monitoring of eventual transactions with related parties.


Data privacy


In 2020, the Ultra Group concentrated its efforts ensuring that its processes are adjusted to the General Data Protection Law (GDPR). The law was sanctioned in September and establishes rules for guaranteeing the correct treatment of personal data by companies and other entities.


In November 2020, the Board of Directors approved the Personal Data Protection and Privacy Corporate Policy, which provides for the structuring of the privacy program and the creation of a personal data protection committee that respond to the Ultrapar’s executive board and for monitoring the theme. It is worth pointing out that the Ultra Group already has an Information Security Policy in place since 2017.


The theme has also seen advances at all businesses with work being conducted: (i) on the development and updating of related policies, (ii) on the structuring of specific areas and governance flow for monitoring questions on privacy and protection of data, (iii) on the adequacy of software and IT systems, (iv) on the inclusion of clauses in supply and services agreements, and (v) on the training of the teams, among other actions.


Culture of innovation, inclusion and excellence


The Ultra Group believes that a culture based on the precepts of innovation, inclusion and excellence is core to the longevity of its businesses. In addition to initiatives which seek to attract, engage, train, and retain talents, the Company seeks to form high performance professionals that are able to work in an environment and organizational culture that places great value on transparency, equity, diversity, and inclusion. The consolidated turnover of the Ultra Group was 21.8% in 2020, less than the result for 2019, when the ratio stood at 24.4%. The Ultra Group concluded the year with 15.9 thousand employees.

Development, training, and retention


Committed to a culture of innovation and excellence, the Ultra Group has endeavored to adapt its career and succession processes together with its development and training programs to the online format. These actions support the development of talents for succession planning at the Ultra Group, thus guaranteeing a team of professionals with a profile of leadership ready to assume new positions.


In 2020, Ultragaz began some important projects such as the Culture, for promoting the cultural transformation of the organization, making the company more agile and competitive, incentivizing results through innovation, internal efficiency, and diversity. In addition, it has developed the Transformerz program, the commercial team’s development journey, a program which is 100% online. Ultragaz also continued to run its Formation of Future Leaders, a program for accelerating the development of employees with potential and where 78% of all participants have already received promotions.


In 2020 at the Santos (SP) and Itaqui (MA) terminals, Ultracargo began the implementation of the new Ultracargo Operations System (SOUL), designed to improve processes and optimize the terminal operations model with important gains in safety and productivity as well as reduction in losses. As part of this process, the company offered training to the operational teams with a focus on methodologies incorporating operations system.


Oxiteno launched its new educational portal (OxiEducation), which acts through five learning centers (BeOxi, BeLeader, BeCustomer, BeIndustrial and BeEfficient), with different content and learning paths. The objective of this portal is to transform experiences of learning, helping the employees to take the lead in their own career development.


Ipiranga’s new organizational competencies focused on people, clients, results, the future, and society have provided a base for updating the corporate university. The Ipiranga Universe has consolidated into an online ecosystem of learning with schools and specific paths for each function. The aim of the new university is to support the continuous learning and protagonism of the employee in their development trajectory.


During the year, Extrafarma worked on the dissemination of the elements of its new organizational culture, which underpins the employees’ commitment with the customers, the business, and its teams, through workshops, lives, communication campaigns and training. The DNA Extrafarma portal for remote learning launched 143 new contents for upgrading proficiencies. A total of 33 lives were held between June and December through the Retail School.


All Ultra Group employees hired under the CLT (the Federal Labor Law) legislation have the right to a private pension plan administered by Ultraprev Additional Pension Association. Employees decide annually the percentage of their salary they intend to contribute – up to 11% – with the Group companies contributing with the same amount.

Attraction of talents


The Holding Company’s 2020 Internship Program offered 9 vacancies at the administrative offices in São Paulo. The Holding Company also continued its vacation internships for students in Brazil and for young Brazilians living abroad as well as participating in events with a focus on attracting young professionals.


As part of a plan of internal development, Ultragaz promoted 50% of those that took part in its internship program in 2020. It also designed the candidate’s journey for ensuring the same experience anywhere in Brazil. Communication with Ultragaz’s candidates has been structured in an innovative, standardized and more modern way, attracting increasing numbers of talents to the organization.


The highlight at Oxiteno was the internal recruitment program which has been in place since 2019. In 2020, the program achieved a record level of 48% of all vacancies being filled by in-house talents. In addition, approximately 7 thousand people enrolled for its trainee program in 2021, including 5 vacancies specifically with an engineering qualification. The Neurodiversity project was another important initiative run in conjunction with the Specialisterne specialized consultancy for the development and hiring of autistic professionals. Currently, the pilot project involves two individuals hired as service providers but with the potential for expansion into other areas. Oxiteno also operates an IT talents program in partnership with ShareRH for attracting and developing new talents. In 2020, 30 candidates were chosen to receive basic training in Java.


Ipiranga ran its second trainees’ program, registering a record number of candidate enrollments. A total of 24.3 thousand professionals competed for 15 places in the commercial, planning and finance; technology, innovation, and new businesses; sustainability; and operations department.


Engagement


Ultra Group’s in-house dialog has become still more agile and fluid with the Facebook workplace platform for internal communication, maximizing the interaction with the teams and employee engagement. In 2020, 98% of all employees participated in the platform and interacted with more than 80 groups. There were more than 2.5 thousand publications, 7.3 thousand comments and 60 thousand reactions.


In 2021, the Holding Company and the businesses are to conduct their organizational climate surveys. These are conducted biennially, the last one in 2019 presented an 80% favorability rating.


In 2020, Oxiteno began its global internal communication campaign, Our Formula Does Good, connecting the concepts of purpose, values, strategy, culture, and defense of the brand with the aim of clarifying the employees on the activities, role, objectives, and initiatives of the company. The campaign aims at stimulating a sense of belonging, pride, and connection with the company’s purpose “to contribute to the wellbeing of people through chemistry”, as well as to provide clarity on myths and truths on the subject of chemistry. In a satisfaction survey at the end of the year, 80% of employees declared that the campaign helped reinforce the essential nature of chemistry and the benefits of Oxiteno’s work to society.


Inclusion and diversity


Progress has also been made in the commitment to inclusion and diversity. Ipiranga and Extrafarma have had programs of this nature in place since 2019. In 2020, Ipiranga established the Diversity Committee and affinity groups (gender, special needs, afro-descendants and LGBTQIA+) and held its first diversity census, the results of which will be important in setting targets. Extrafarma has conducted several awareness and engagement initiatives. During the process of hiring for the new distribution center in São Luís (MA), the company prioritized women and the over fifties as part of the process of increasing diversity of gender and age in its logistics area, previously dominated by largely young male employees. The company ended 2020 with 5% of its employees over the age of 50 (generation front) and 61% of women in positions of leadership (gender front). Employees also included 194 with special needs and five refugees from Angola, Haiti, and Togo (cultural diversity front) on the payroll.


Oxiteno is developing its own diversity program to be launched in 2021, and Ultragaz and Ultracargo intend to take initiatives on the theme in the same direction as from 2021.

Health and safety


One of the business principles guiding the activities of the Ultra Group relates to safety. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and the continued operations of the businesses, deemed essential activities, in 2020, the Company immediately instituted and reinforced health and safety protocols including 70% alcohol gel sanitizer and personal protection equipment (PPEs); measuring temperatures on entry into the units; reinforcing hygiene and cleansing procedures in the work environments; and monitoring all employees with symptoms, among other measures. Care was also taken to ensure suitable ergonomic conditions for professionals working remotely. The Ultra Group has made an 0800 number available for psycho-social support and open to all employees and their families.


Besides the preventive measures taken during the pandemic, all the businesses maintained their practices and programs directed towards the safety of the teams, guidelines for which are included in specific policies and the results of which are monitored in the companies’ management systems. There are actions and an ongoing effort to consolidate the internal culture of safety and to foster the commitment and protagonism of the leadership and the teams on the theme.


Most notable during the year, Ultragaz invested in revision of workflows and improvements in equipment and processes – in 2020, for example it concluded the automation of the bottling plant in Caucaia (CE), thus increasing the safety of the teams. Ultracargo invested in the human element and in risk perception, reducing the exposure of people to operational risks, training multipliers responsible for disseminating the culture of safety and implemented improvements in working procedures and in fire prevention. The company also invested in revitalization of assets, modernization of lines, tankage, and fire-fighting systems at all port terminals, contributing to an increase in reliability and safety for the teams. Oxiteno is in the final phase of revitalizing its fire prevention system at the Mauá (SP) unit, the company’s oldest industrial facility.


Ipiranga launched the new Business Continuity Plan with guidelines for the management of emergencies, contingencies and crises. The process of behavioral observation was also introduced, recognizing those employees who take onboard the safety measures in all their activities while counselling those professionals that commit errors exposing themselves to risks. Extrafarma has implanted the Safer DC program for involving employees so that they contribute directly to accident prevention and related illnesses, increasing the safety of all in the distribution centers.


Relations with the local community


Based on the precepts of responsibility, transparency, long-term effects and dialog, the Group manages the impacts on the areas surrounding its operations in order to contribute to the development of the communities in the neighborhood as well as acting in an efficient way for minimizing potentially negative impacts. On the social front, the Ultra Group’s aim is to guarantee greater convergence between actions undertaken at each of the businesses in relation to material themes and what positive impacts of the activities can be maximized.


The Holding Company supports the École 42 institution which operates in various parts of the world by offering free programming courses to young people, acting as a transformational element through education as well as helping to fill the gap in the training of IT professionals in Brazil.


Ultragaz adopted its volunteer programs to the remote format. In conjunction with the Junior Achievement NGO, volunteers among the employees participated in “The Future of Work” and “Connected with Tomorrow” programs, for students from the public school network. In the “To Read is Present” program, volunteers devote their time to reading stories to children who participate in the Centers for Children and Teenagers (CCAs) and Services for Institutional Reception of Children and Adolescents (SAICAS). The company also supported awareness campaigns for combatting domestic violence, on voting safely during the elections in Brazil in 2020, and the Open Screens project disclosing information on safe coexistence, learning at home and via the ludic and educational activities aired on the Future Channel, in the social networks and through printed leaflets. Social initiatives supported by Ultragaz had an impact on more than 20 million people in 2020.


Ultracargo renewed its support for the On the Right Side (“Na Mão Certa) program, and Childhood Brasil NGO’s initiative for combatting the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents on Brazilian highways and at its port terminals. As part of its commitment, the company replicates materials for raising awareness and runs communication campaigns among its employees, clients, drivers at the port terminal and at other partners. The company also continued to sponsor the Community in Action award promoted by the A Tribuna newspaper of Santos (SP), recognizing social projects in the greater Santos area in the state of São Paulo where Ultracargo’s largest port terminal is located.


Oxiteno continued to sponsor the Baú das Artes project for supplying books, games, and ludic-pedagogic instruments to public school students. With the materials, the teachers, who take part in pre-formation workshops, work on themes such as ethics, the environment and culture with the students. In 2020, program materials were adapted to the digital format. This initiative reached more than 26 thousand students and about 300 teachers from 24 schools in the municipal districts of Mauá, Suzano and Tremembé, in the state of São Paulo, and Camaçari (BA) and Triunfo (RS).

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2020 GRAPHICS


Ipiranga also adapted its volunteer program – run in partnership with the Junior Achievement NGO – to the digital format. This initiative impacted more than 10 thousand students among the three high school grades from 80 public schools in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In the case of the itinerant Health on the Highway program for truckers and other road users, there were 126 days of actions at 64 Rodo Rede Ipiranga service stations in 10 states.


During the prolonged power outage in the state of Amapá in November, Extrafarma donated about 9 thousand items of hygiene to three state institutions. The company also participated in the 22nd National Vaccination Campaign against influenza, ceding some of its units as vaccination posts. The company also signed up to the Red Signal against Domestic Violence and aired through the media and the social networks a campaign for raising awareness on the correct disposal of medications.


Value chain


The Ultra Group also endeavors to create value along its entire chain of resellers, business partners and suppliers. At Ultragaz and at Ipiranga, the success of the businesses depends directly on the network of resellers and partners, through which the two brands and their products reach the final consumer.


Ultragaz operates with 5.1 thousand resellers which, from 2020, had a new app at their disposal, Meu Aplicativo Parceiro - My Partner Application with different functions that support reseller’s management functions, the project being developed in partnership with the resellers themselves. As a means of raising the awareness of partners and their respective employees on the coronavirus, Ultragaz distributed kits with 70% alcohol gel sanitizer and protective face masks to a group of resellers and ran a series of lives on the theme. Since 2015, Ultragaz has been inviting key suppliers to take part in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) diagnosis for engaging them in the protection of the ecosystem and confronting the climate change. In 2020, 78% of critical suppliers engaged in relation to climate change and 56% signed up to issues related to questions related to hydric resources (a theme introduced in 2020).


At Ipiranga, there are 7.1 thousand service stations managed by entrepreneurs and part of the reseller network as well as partners in the franchises of the AmPm and Jet Oil networks. The focus in 2020 was to support the financial sustainability of these partners, as their businesses were seriously affected by restrictions on personal mobility. The assistance package offered by Ipiranga, the first company in the sector to provide such a program, included a temporary stay on payment of rents and financing commitments, the temporary suspension of volume performance covenants, support for raising lines of credit for reinforcing partners working capital and initiatives for accelerating sales.


In relation to suppliers, adherence to legal requirements and the adoption of good practices in relation to ethics, human and labor rights, health and safety and protection of the environment are all conditions which are assessed for the relationship. Oxiteno became the first Brazilian chemicals industry to use the EcoVadis methodology, a platform recognized internationally for evaluating performance in corporate sustainability, to assess its suppliers. The company has moved up two categories in the EcoVadis ranking and is currently placed in the Platinum category, the highest EcoVadis Sustainability Rating and reached by just 1% of the evaluated companies. Oxiteno is the second Brazilian company to achieve this position.

GRAPHICS

Ultrapar has an organized structure of governance for the themes of risks, compliance and auditing, covering all its businesses.


The Risks, Compliance and Audit department have different reporting levels in the organization according to each one of its competencies. The department is linked administratively to the chief executive officer of the Ultra Group, being responsible for the integrated management of risks, maintenance of the Ethics and Compliance Program and for the internal audit. The Department reports to the Audit and Risks Committee of the Board of Directors in the management of the corporate risks, in the consolidation of information and controls and in the conducting of the general internal audit process.

12


MANAGEMENT REPORT 2020 GRAPHICS


The Statutory Audit and Risks Committee, constituted in 2019, was set up to advise the Board of Directors on the supervision of: (i) the integrity and quality of the Company’s financial statements, (ii) compliance of the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) qualification and independence of the independent auditor, (iv) the performance of the Company’s internal auditing functions (represented by the Risks, Compliance and Audit department) and of the independent auditors, and (v) risk management including meeting with management whenever it is deemed necessary. The composition of the Statutory Audit and Risks Committee is of three members who are also independent members of Ultrapar’s Board of Directors, and one independent member who exercises the attributions of Committee Coordinator.


Since 2004, the Ultra Group has had a Conduct Committee, its principal attributions being to supervise the evolution and adherence to the Ethics and Compliance Program and to recommend action in the event of infringements of the Code of Ethics and the Corporate Policies. The Committee is a body responding to the Board of Directors, responsible for electing its members.


Integrated Risk Management


The Ultra Group’s risks management structure combines the corporate coordination to a direct interface with each one of the businesses, ensuring that this process is comprehensive and takes into consideration specific sectoral characteristics.


The Systemic Risks Assessment comprises themes which cover the leading threats to the operations of the businesses and are grouped in five families, with an interdependent focus and dynamic assessments. As an immediate reply to transformations in the business environment and to new themes of greater impact in 2020, risks were identified with a potential to become serious and which should be monitored in the light of the pandemic. In addition, there was also a revision of the Systemic Assessment, the result of continual improvement in risk management, resulting in a readjustment of risk themes with greater emphasis placed on strategic risks.


Discussions take place on a structured and independent basis at each business and in the holding company, covering risk themes both internal and external, evaluating scenarios quantified in terms of impact and vulnerability, and generating mitigating action plans.


Internal and External Audits


Linked to the Risks, Compliance and Audit department, the Internal Audit unit is responsible for monitoring the procedures and controls of all the businesses, identifying risks and opportunities for improvement which in a synergetic way, contribute to the updating of the risks map and Ultra Group’s risks management process and the Ethics and Compliance Program. The unit also reviews all Group payments and executes internal operational audits, according to the plan approved annually, and performs effectiveness tests of internal controls as part of the process of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) certification, a requirement for the financial statements published in the United States market.


The External Audit is responsible for auditing the financial statements under the applicable audit rules, which consider the understanding of the internal controls that are relevant to the preparing process of the financial statements, planning the audit work and carrying out the necessary procedures to issue the independent auditors' report on the individual and consolidated financial statements.


Compliance


Ultrapar has an Ethics and Compliance Program supervised by the Conduct Committee with guidelines approved by the Board of Directors among which the Code of Ethics. The Program establishes annual themes for communication and training such as the combatting of corruption, good anti-trust practices, conflicts of interest and harassment, among others always with a view to strengthening the Company’s culture of integrity. In addition to the systematic process of accountability to senior management, in 2020 the first report with the consolidated result of the program over the last five years was produced and distributed to all employees in the Holding Company, the businesses, Committees and the Board of Directors.


The Ethics and Compliance Program also determines that a whistleblowing channel should be made available to all stakeholders to receive complaints, anonymity and non-retaliation being guaranteed to complainants. Managed by an independent outside company which guarantees these conditions, Ultra’s Open Channel can be used by employees and outside stakeholders, through its intermediary, receiving in Brazil and from abroad requests for orientation on guidelines relating to ethics and integrity and notifications on eventual deviations from the Code of Ethics and corporate policies. The reports are sent to the Risks, Compliance, and Audit area, responsible for handling complaints, etc with the support of the Conduct Committee. In 2020, the channel received 834 reports, an indication of the increasing awareness of ethics and integrity as well as a growing level of confidence in the channel on the part of users.

* Focus projection from 02/05/21 for 2020


The year 2020 started with a climate of optimism and an outlook for structural reforms after the approval of pension reform in November 2019. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the macroeconomic environment became more challenging despite of economic assistance measures and historically low basic rates of interest at 2% from August 2020. The stimulus packages and financial support policies for combatting the effects of the pandemic also resulted in a deterioration in the country’s fiscal situation. According to the Focus report of February 5, 2021, GDP is expected to have fallen by 4.3% in 2020.


After slumping 30% in March at the outset of the pandemic, the BOVESPA Index began to gradually pull back to its pre-pandemic levels and presenting an appreciation of 3% during the year 2020. The average US Dollar rate to the Real in turn in 2020 increased to R$ 5.16/US$, a devaluation of 31% compared to the average of R$ 3.95/US$ in 2019.


The economic recovery in the final few months of the year, with improvements in the domestic and international scenarios and news on vaccine development contributed to a more positive outlook. Market estimates are for a growth of approximately 3.5% in GDP for 2021, inflation below target at 3.6% and interest rates continuing low according to the forecast in the same Focus report.


The fuels distribution market posted a sharp decline in 2020 with sales volume registered by ANP (Brazilian Oil, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency) 5% lower compared with 2019. Otto cycle volume was directly impacted by social distance measures and restrictions on personal mobility, a situation which was aggravated by high oil price volatility, while diesel volumes proved more resilient. In 2020, the Renovabio program came into effect with the purpose of renewal of Brazil’s energy mix through incentives for biofuels, implementing targets for the decarbonization of the mills and distributors.


The impacts of the pandemic were similarly felt in the LPG market but in distinct ways according to each segment, with less intensity. While on one hand, according to ANP data, sales for residential gas bottle recorded an increase of 5% compared with values for 2019, a reflection of greater social distance, the bulk segment reported a fall of 2%, principally due to lower sales volume to commercial and services entities, but attenuated by higher sales to industry.


In 2020, benchmark prices for ethylene and MEG, the principal chemical commodities which influence Oxiteno’s performance, posted a decline of 20% and 18%, respectively, while there was an appreciation in palm oil prices of 32%, due to tighter supplies of the product. Results from the business also benefited from the depreciation of the Real against the US Dollar given that revenues and a good part of the cost are linked to US Dollar and to higher sales volume from Home & Personal Care segment.


The liquid bulk storage segment has been growing in Brazil and was impacted by weaker import volumes of petroleum derivatives compensated by historical highs in the level of participation in the volume of imports of chemical products, according to Abiquim (Brazilian Chemical Industry Association) estimates, besides an expressive increase in imports of vegetable oil for the production of biodiesel at a time of constrained offer of soybeans.

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2020 GRAPHICS


In pharmaceutical retailing, gross revenue of the network members of Abrafarma (Brazilian Drugstore and Pharmacy Networks Association) was R$ 58 billion compared to R$ 53 billion in 2019 (+9%), with a net addition of 393 drugstores in the domestic market.


The tendency to digitization, already a reality in recent years and hastened with the onset of the pandemic, also favors the use of digital means of payments, reinforcing the potential for abastece . With the change in habits of the population at large, electronic means of payment – eliminating direct contact – have become increasingly significant in the daily routine of transactions.

Ultragaz


Sales volume at Ultragaz reported growth of 2% in 2020, reflecting market growth in the period. In the bottled segment, volumes increased 2% due to stronger residential consumption driven by restrictions imposed by the pandemic. In the bulk segment, volumes remained stable with higher sales to industry and special gases (propellants), partially offset by lower volumes to the commercial and services sectors, most affected by measures of social isolation with the onset of the pandemic.


Net revenues rose 4% in 2020, mainly due to higher sales volume and increases of LPG prices on the part of Petrobras. The cost of goods sold increased 3%, for the same reasons as already mentioned, in addition to higher freight costs due to the need to source LPG from more distant supply bases, and due to higher storage costs.


Sales, general and administrative expenses fell by 3% in the year. Despite the increase in freight expenditures as a result of higher volume and inflation rate in the period together with higher fees for consultancies hired to improve operational efficiency, Ultragaz implemented several initiatives for reducing expenses, particularly in the payroll line, in addition to lower expenses with materials and provisions for doubtful accounts.


Ultragaz’s EBITDA amounted to a record R$ 729 million in 2020, a growth of 24% relative to 2019, principally due to higher sales volume, greater efficiency and a reduction in expenses.


Ultragaz invested R$ 282 million in 2020, allocated mainly to the acquisition and replacement of gas bottles, installations at new clients in the bulk segment, construction of new filling bases and maintenance work at existing operations.


Ultracargo


The average installed capacity at Ultracargo in 2020 increased 12%, due to expanded tankage capacity at the terminals in Santos and Itaqui in the past 18 months. Consequently, cubic meter sold grew by 14% with greater fuel handling at the two terminals and a higher number of spot operations. Ultracargo ended the year with a market share of product handling of 25.2% versus 23.7% at the close of 2019, a reflection of the company’s growth plan.


Net revenues rose 19% in 2020, driven by greater fuel handling in light of expansions and spot operations as well as higher tariffs due to contractual readjustments. Cost of services provided rose 3%, due to the increase in tankage capacity between the periods. The cost of services provided per cubic meter sold posted a decrease of 9%, reflecting gains in productivity at the terminals.


Sales, general and administrative expenses fell 3% year-on-year, due to lower payroll expenses, albeit attenuated by higher expenditures with IT systems for strengthening the technological platform and conceptual engineering projects for expansion studies.


Other operating results showed an improvement of R$ 71 million, largely the result of the provisioning in 2019 of the Conduct Adjustment Agreement (TAC) of R$ 66 million, related to the fire in 2015, and the constitution of R$ 12 million in tax credits in 2020.


Ultracargo reported an EBITDA of R$ 337 million in 2020. Excluding the effects of the R$ 66 million of the TAC in 2019 and the extraordinary PIS/Cofins tax credits of R$ 12 million in 2020, recurring EBITDA growth in relation to 2019 was 41%. This was mainly the result of expansions in capacity and efficiency gains at the terminals, contractual readjustments and productivity gains.


Ultracargo recorded investments of R$ 215 million in 2020, allocated to the construction of the new Vila do Conde terminal, to expansion at the Itaqui port terminal, acquisition of new areas and maintenance and operational safety at existing terminals.

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2020 GRAPHICS


Oxiteno


Oxiteno’s sales volume recorded growth of 3% in 2020. Specialty chemicals volume increased 6%, the result of robust sales to the home & personal care and crop solutions segments in the domestic market, the increase of sales in the United States and higher exports. Commodity volume sales decreased 10% compared with 2019, due to reduced market demand.


Net revenues at Oxiteno increased 22%, due to the average devaluation of 31% of the Real (R$ 1.21/US$) together with higher sales volumes but attenuated by the reduction of 6% in average prices in US Dollars following the decline in petrochemical prices in the international market.


The cost of goods sold was up by 18% in 2020, due to the average devaluation of 31% in the Real (R$ 1.21/US$) and to higher sales volume, but partially compensated by the reduction of 12% in average unit costs in US Dollars.


Sales general and administrative expenses increased 13% in 2020, a result of higher freight charges (greater volume and the currency translation effect on international freight charges), the effect of exchange variation on expenses at the international units and higher amortizations of software, attenuated by lower payroll expenses and initiatives taken to cut expenses.


The other operations results reported a positive variation of R$ 151 million, mainly the result of the constitution of extraordinary PIS/Cofins tax credits of R$ 156 million in 2020.


The disposal of property line showed a positive variation of R$ 8 million, mainly due to the writing off of projects worth R$ 5 million in 2020 and the writing down of assets in the Venezuelan unit worth R$ 14 million in 2019.


Oxiteno’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 785 million in 2020. Excluding the effects of R$ 156 million in extemporary PIS/Cofins tax credits in 2020 and the writing off of Oxiteno Andina assets of R$ 14 million in 2019, growth on an annual comparison basis would have been 167%, explained largely by: (i) a greater sales volume, (ii) improvement in contribution margins in US Dollars, (iii) ramp-up of the Pasadena plant in the United States, and (iv) average devaluation of 31% on the Real (R$ 1.21/US$).


Oxiteno invested a total of R$ 202 million in 2020, mainly in maintenance and the safety of the productive units.


Ipiranga


Sales volume at Ipiranga posted a reduction of 9% in 2020, due to the effects of the pandemic which significantly impacted fuel consumption in Brazil, mainly in the second quarter of 2020 but with a gradual recovery since then. Otto cycle segment was the most affected, recording a decrease of 14% compared with 2019, while the reduction in diesel was 3%.


Net revenues at Ipiranga fell 12%, mainly due to lower sales volume and average fuel price volatility. The cost of goods sold also showed a decline of 12%, for the same reasons cited above affecting net revenues.


Sales, general and administrative expenses fell 15%, mainly due to the reduction in payroll and freight (lower sales volume) in addition to lower provisions for doubtful accounts and costs controls on various fronts.


The other operating results line fell 77%, the result principally due to the appropriation of costs relative to Renovabio targets in the amount of R$ 124 million in 2020 and lower revenues from merchandising with suppliers as well as the setting aside of extraordinary PIS/Cofins tax credits in the two periods.


The disposal of property line reported a positive result of R$ 80 million in 2020, due to the sale of real estate as part of a more active management process for disposing Ipiranga’s points of sale.


Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 1,712 million, a 31% decrease relative to 2019, once again mainly the result of lower sales volume and narrower margins, worsened by the volatility in fuel prices as well as the variation in other operational results. These effects were partially offset by initiatives for controlling costs and higher results from the disposal of property.


Ipiranga invested a total of R$ 688 million in 2020, allocated mainly to the expanding and maintenance of the service station network and franchises as well as logistical infrastructure. Of total investments, R$ 204 million was expended in plant, property and equipment and additions to intangible assets, R$ 351 million on contractual assets (exclusive rights) and R$ 132 million in the form of drawdowns of financing to clients and advanced payments of rentals net of receipts.

Extrafarma


Extrafarma opened 2 new drugstores and closed 13 in 2020, a 3% reduction in the size of the network, which closed the year with 405 units. At the end of the year, the stores still ramping up (with up to three years of operations) represented 25% of the network, the result of greater selectivity in expansion and a more rigorous approach to underperforming stores.


Gross revenue at Extrafarma posted a reduction of 3% in 2020 due to the lower number of stores (-3%) and a reflection of the pandemic with the temporary closure of 7% of the drugstores located in shopping malls for some months during the year and to lower customer flows through the stores. These effects were offset by higher sales from same stores in operation (+4.0%), driven by the higher average ticket and by the reinforcing and expansion of sales through the digital channels.


The cost of goods sold fell 4% in 2020, largely due to lower sales. Gross profit reached R$ 589 million (-1%), equivalent to a gross margin of 28%, 0.5 p.p. higher than 2019, due mainly to better retail margins and the lower share of sales to the wholesale segment where margins are lower.


Sales, general and administrative expenses fell 11% in 2020, reflecting the smaller number of stores and initiatives taken to contain expenditures, productivity gains and logistics optimization.


The other operating results line recorded a variation of R$ 33 million negative in the comparison of 2020 versus 2019, the result of the constitution of extraordinary PIS/Cofins tax credits and social security contributions registered in 2019.


The line for disposal of property registered a positive variation of R$ 15 million, mainly due to the writing off of investments due to the closing of stores in 2019. In addition, in 2019 the company registered and impairment of goodwill on the acquisition of Extrafarma for R$ 593 million, without cash effect, due to results lower than the initial plan.


Extrafarma reported an EBITDA of R$ 84 million in 2020, a year-on-year growth of 208% excluding the impairment effects in 2019. This growth reflects the closing of underperforming stores, greater profitability from the existing network, better margins and initiatives for improving productivity and reducing expenses.


Extrafarma invested R$ 39 million in 2020, allocated mainly to the construction of the Maranhão distribution center, IT and in the maintenance and modernization of drugstores.

MANAGEMENT REPORT 2020 GRAPHICS


Ultrapar recorded net revenues from sales and services of R$ 81,241 million in 2020, a reduction of 9% compared with 2019, mainly due to lower sales revenue at Ipiranga.


The cost of goods sold and services provided at Ultrapar was R$ 75,628 million in 2020, 9% less than in 2019, mainly due to the reduction in costs at Ipiranga.


Ultrapar posted a gross profit of R$ 5,613 million in 2020, a decrease of 8% in relation to 2019, due to the decline in aggregate profit at Ipiranga, the business most affected by the pandemic, despite the increase in gross profit at Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Oxiteno.

Investments and perspectives


Organic investments by business – R$ million

IMAGE14

In 2020, investments at Ultrapar, net of divestments and receivables, totaled R$ 1.5 billion, a decline of 6% compared to the amount invested in 2019, mainly due to the preventive reduction of investments in 2020 as a cash containment measure with the uncertainties arising from the pandemic and lower growth in the markets.


Ultrapar’s investment plan for 2021 totals R$ 1,891 million, an amount greater than that invested in 2019 and 2020.


The expansion portion, which represents around half of the investment plan, prioritizes the growth of the businesses through capacity expansion or efficiency and productivity gains, leading to better returns, in line with the Company's strategic planning. The main investments in expansion contemplated in the plan for 2021 are concentrated in Ipiranga, Ultracargo and Ultragaz.


Ipiranga’s expansion investments focus on (i) the expansion of the logistics infrastructure, with the construction of logistics facilities in Belém (PA), Cabedelo (PB), Vitória (ES) (concessions won in 2019) and Fortaleza (CE), (ii) the growth of the service stations network, through the addition of service stations with larger throughput, prioritizing volume growth, and (iii) the expansion of AmPm company-operated stores and new franchises.


Ultracargo’s expansion investments will be directed to the construction of the terminal in Vila do Conde (PA) and to the expansion of the Itaqui (MA) terminal, amounting to R$ 280 million, which will result in a 19% growth in the company’s current storage capacity.


Ultragaz will invest in expansion to build new bottling plants in Belém (PA) and Fortaleza (CE), amounting to about R$ 70 million in 2021, and to attract new clients mainly in the bulk segment.


Oxiteno and Extrafarma will focus their expansion investments in logistics optimization to increase productivity and in the growth of its digital platforms, respectively.


About half of the investment plan for 2021 will be directed to the sustaining of the businesses, including mainly investments in safety, maintenance of assets and market share, renovation and remodeling of points of sales, as well as investments in information technology.

4th QUARTER 2020 GRAPHICS


Message from the Management 2020


In 2020, our businesses began the year on a promising note, driven by the positive macroeconomic outlook in Brazil. However, from March, the novel coronavirus pandemic brought severe consequences for the global economy, strongly affecting Brazil. In addition to the economic impacts, precautionary measures of social distancing and restrictions on personal mobility accelerated the tendency towards structural changes, among them remote working and virtual interconnectivity among people.


We were quick to adapt our operations at the first signs of the pandemic, allowing us to continue our role as a provider of essential products and services to the society, with no interruptions or discontinuity. We supported our resellers and partners, took care of our employees’ health and safety, maintained our financial soundness, and contributed to the national effort of providing a social safety net on different fronts. Crowning this endeavor and dedication, in 2020 we reported good results and took important steps to accelerate growth and value creation for the Company in the future.


In order to help curbing the effects of the pandemic, we dedicated approximately R$ 37 million to social initiatives, including the construction of hospitals, donations of basic baskets of goods, meals, hospital equipment, LPG, and other materials, in addition to items of hygiene.


In light of the uncertainties caused by the pandemic in the first few months and to ensure a continued high level of liquidity, we adopted a process of greater selectivity in our investments, raised new lines of financing and negotiated more elastic payment terms with our suppliers. On the other side, we worked with our partners and clients, negotiating measures to ease pressures on their working capital, thus contributing to ensure the integrity and continuity of the value chains we are part of.


The year 2020 underscored the resilience of our business portfolio, with growing results at all our businesses with the exception of Ipiranga, which the activity was directly impacted by social distancing measures and restrictions on mobility.


The net revenue amounted to R$ 81.2 billion, 9% less than 2019, and was directly affected by the pandemic. Despite this, the Company recorded an EBITDA of R$ 3.5 billion, or 4.3% EBITDA margin, representing an improved margin compared to the 3.1% in 2019. Net income increased from R$ 403 million in 2019 to R$ 928 million in 2020, R$ 480 million of which will be distributed via dividends to the shareholders. The operational cash generation (after investments) was a record, totaling R$ 2.1 billion and contributing to the gradual reduction in our financial leverage. We closed the year with a cash position of R$ 8.7 billion and duration of our debt standing at 4.6 years.


Detailing the performance of our businesses, beginning with Ultragaz, we were able to report record results in 2020 based on demand growth for LPG for residential consumption and initiatives adopted for reducing costs and expenses. The company continues to invest in expanding its footprint in the North and the Northeast regions of the country, in the development of new digital channels with clients and resellers, and in the development of new LPG applications for corporate use, thereby opening up new markets and growth fronts.


Ultracargo was also able to report record results with the expansions concluded at the port terminals of Santos and Itaqui, as well as gains in productivity and efficiency. The company continued investing to expand capacity and capillarity at domestic ports throughout Brazil, including a new terminal in Vila do Conde (PA), providing greater level of competitiveness in the North region. Optimization in the execution of investment projects, both in timeframe and cost, has been key to allow growing cash generation and return on invested capital.


Oxiteno reported a year of robust growth in results, driven by the increase in demand for specialty chemicals, mainly in the home & personal care and crop solutions segments. Currency devaluation also helped to improve results since many of the company’s products remain referenced to international prices. Additionally, the company optimized its cost structure and increased its operational efficiency, further ramping up capacity utilization at its plant in the United States together with its penetration in that market.


Ipiranga was the business most affected by the pandemic, like other companies in the sector, due to the strong retraction in demand for fuels, most notably in the second quarter. Strong price volatility throughout the year also contributed to a pressure on margins at both distributors and service station networks nationwide. In face of these challenges, the company took firm measures to reduce costs and expenses, as well as in the management of working capital and in the selectivity of investments, measures that helped to compensate a large portion of the reduction in revenues and to generate a solid operational cash flow. It is important to highlight Ipiranga’s leading role in offering support mechanisms to its resellers during the most critical phase of the pandemic. Not only did this contribute to ensuring uninterrupted fuel supplies to the population, but it also served to strengthen the bond with its network.

Still in the context of Ipiranga, AmPm concluded a comprehensive project for reviewing its business model, involving the repositioning of the brand, a revision of the product sales mix, new store layout and the development of sales through digital channels. In addition to the traditional franchise model, AmPm began to manage 55 company-operated stores during the year, with promising initial results.


Extrafarma was also directly affected by the pandemic with some of its drugstores (in shopping centers, about 7% of the network) closed or with restricted opening hours for a large part of the year. Despite this, the company registered record results in the second half, thanks to greater selectivity in expansion, a more rigorous process of closing underperforming units, investments in logistics and IT and gains in productivity and management of expenses. Private label products and sales through digital channels presented significant progress in 2020, with good prospects for the future.


Finally, in July we created a new company in the digital payments and electronic retailing segment combining the “abastece ” (“fill up here”) app and the loyalty program “Km de Vantagens” (Km of Advantages Program), the largest one in the country. This initiative is designed to accelerate the capture of value of these platforms and expansion in the services provided, with the potential for creating a digital ecosystem of sizeable proportions and capillarity. Since August, when the new app was launched, more than 2.3 million digital accounts have been created with the total number of transactions processed surpassing R$ 3.5 billion, demonstrating rapid consumer acceptance, as well as the growth potential of the business.


We are beginning 2021 well positioned for the future. On one hand, we believe our strategic orientation of prioritizing the capital allocation to the downstream value chain of the oil & gas sector leaves us in a good position to explore opportunities arising from the opening up of the refining market to the private sector, as well as the expansion of the natural gas chain in Brazil. On the other hand, we have improved our management and governance model, with the businesses increasing their accountability for results, a greater integration between the Executive Board and Board of Directors, and greater agility and soundness in the decision-making process. And finally, we continue to dedicate efforts to strengthening our pipeline of business leaders, the foundation for sustaining growth and the continuing value creation for the Company.


Our investment plan for 2021 totals R$ 1.9 billion and exceeds the amounts invested in the past two years, with expansion projects being concentrated on Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo. Acquisitions that may occur are not taken into consideration in this plan and will represent additional investments.


Finally, we have intensified our attention and dedication of resources to themes related to ESG. In 2020, we developed our materiality matrix, approved our Sustainability Policy, and published our first Integrated Report following the GRI guidelines. In 2021, the ESG front will boosted by the creation of the Sustainability and Corporate Affairs executive position. This will accelerate and integrate the efforts and actions of the various businesses of the Group in a unified and objective agenda with enhanced visibility, also including clearly defined and disseminated targets.


We would like to thank all our stakeholders for their trust and support. A special thanks goes to all our employees, both those on the front line as well as those working remotely from home, for their tireless dedication and solid commitment with our purpose, which is to create value for the society by investing in companies that are sustainable and essential for people’s lives.

² Includes amortization of contractual assets with clients – exclusive rights

³ Calculated in Reais based on the weighted average number of shares over the period, net of shares held in treasury

Net revenues Total of R$ 23,216 million (-2%), mainly due to the decrease in net revenues at Ipiranga, partially compensated by the growth in net revenues from the other businesses. Compared to 3Q20, net revenues increased by 12%, reflecting higher sales at all the businesses. In 2020, net revenues totaled R$ 81,241 million, a decrease of 9% in relation to the preceding year.


Adjusted EBITDA Total of R$ 949 million (+163%). Excluding non-recurring effects, EBITDA in 4Q20 was R$ 865 million (-11%), due to lower EBITDAs at Ipiranga and Ultragaz, despite the increase in results at Oxiteno, Ultracargo and Extrafarma. In relation to 3Q20, excluding the non-recurring effect of tax credits at Oxiteno, there was a decrease of 17%, mainly due to the lower EBITDA at Ipiranga and Ultragaz. In 2020, Adjusted EBITDA at Ultrapar was R$ 3,479 million (+24%). Excluding non-recurring items, EBITDA in 2020 was R$ 3,311 million (-5%), due to the decline in results at Ipiranga, impacted by the pandemic, despite robust growth at Oxiteno, Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Extrafarma.


Results from the Holding, affiliates and abastece In addition to the five main businesses, Ultrapar recorded a negative impact of R$ 65 million, comprised mainly of: (i) R$ 40 million of the Holding’s expenses, with a concentration of expenses in expansion projects, (ii) R$ 20 million of negative EBITDA with abastece aí (new digital payments business), due to payroll, technology and marketing expenses for the structuring and growth of the business, with a concentration of expenses in the quarter which had been held back over the year, and (iii) R$ 6 million of negative EBITDA with affiliates.


Depreciation and amortization Total of R$ 392 million (+2%), due to higher investments undertaken over the previous twelve months. In relation to 3Q20, total costs and expenses with depreciation and amortization were 1% lower due to lower amortization of contractual assets at Ipiranga.


Financial result Ultrapar reported net financial income of R$ 136 million in 4Q20, compared to a net financial expense of R$ 252 million in 4Q19, mainly reflecting: (i) the appropriation of interest on non-recurring tax credits with respect to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS/Cofins calculation base in 4Q20 of R$ 160 million, and (ii) the positive result of market to market of the exchange rate hedges. In relation to 3Q20, there was an improvement of R$ 294 million, due to the appropriation of interest on tax credits mentioned previously and the positive result from market to market of the exchange rate hedges. In 2020, Ultrapar posted a net financial expense of R$ 269 million, R$ 237 million lower than the net financial expenses recorded in 2019,  due mainly to the appropriation of interest on non-recurring tax credits in the amount of R$ 238 million in the year.


Net income Total of R$ 432 million, an increase of R$ 699 million compared to 4Q19, mainly due to the improved financial result and the impairment of goodwill of R$ 593 million from the acquisition of Extrafarma registered in 4Q19. In relation to 3Q20, net income increased 56%, due to the improvement in the financial result, partially offset by a lower EBITDA. In 2020, net income at Ultrapar amounted to R$ 928 million (+130%), mainly a reflection of growth in EBITDA and reduced net financial expenses.

Cash flow from operational activities Generation of R$ 3,138 million in 2020, compared to a generation of R$ 2,925 million in 2019, due mainly to divestment in working capital and to lower investments in the period, offset by reduced EBITDA, excluding non-recurring effects.

Operational performance Sales volume at Ultragaz in 4Q20 fell by 1% relative to 4Q19, mainly due to the reduction of 4% in sales in the bottled segment, reflecting lower volumes sold to the Southeast region. In the bulk segment, volumes were 4% greater, mainly due to higher sales to industries, partially offset by lower sales to the commercial and services segments, due to the effects of the pandemic. Compared to 3Q20, sales volume declined 6%, reflecting typical seasonal variations between periods. In 2020, sales volume at Ultragaz was 1,732 thousand tons, a 2% growth in relation to 2019, leveraged by higher sales in the bottled segment in 1Q20 and in 2Q20, due to a greater degree of social isolation in the periods.


Net revenues Total of R$ 1,969 million (+10%), mainly due to higher LPG costs on the back of price readjustments by Petrobras. In relation to 3Q20, there was an increase of 1% for the same reasons mentioned above, partially offset by lower sales volume. In 2020, net revenues totaled R$ 7,408 million, a year-on-year increase of 4%.


Cost of goods sold Total of R$ 1,708 million (+13%), due to readjustment of LPG costs by Petrobras and greater maintenance costs (greater concentration of requalification on tankage in the period) and depreciation. Compared to 3Q20, cost of goods sold increased 4% for the same reasons mentioned above. In 2020, cost of goods sold was R$ 6,310 million, 3% higher than 2019.


Sales, general and administrative expenses Total of R$ 171 million, an increase of 4% in relation to 4Q19, due to higher costs with variable compensation, in line with earnings progression during the year, and freight expenses. In relation to 3Q20, sales, general and administrative expenses were up 8% due to higher payroll expenses. In 2020, SG&A amounted to R$ 620 million, a decrease of 3% compared to 2019, reflecting initiatives for reducing expenses and pandemic-related effects.


EBITDA – Total of R$ 154 million (-8%), mainly due to lower sales volume and increased costs and expenses. In relation to 3Q20, the decline was 31%, a function of the seasonal reduction in volumes and higher costs. Ultragaz’s EBITDA reported a record amount, totaling R$ 729 million in 2020, 24% greater than 2019, mainly a reflection of the higher sales volume, greater operational efficiency and reduced expenses.


Investments Ultragaz invested R$ 91 million during the quarter, allocated largely to setting up installations at new clients in the bulk segment, the acquisition and replacement of gas bottles, to the new bottling plant in Belém (PA) and maintenance at existing operations. In 2020, the company invested a total of R$ 282 million.

Operational performance Ultracargo’s average installed capacity increased 3% relative to 4Q19, due to the expanded tankage capacity at the Itaqui port terminal over the past twelve months. Consequently, m³ sold grew 4%, with greater fuel handling and a higher number of spot operations. The total of m³ sold was in line with 3Q20, with greater handling of ethanol and vegetable oils compensating for lower fuels handling. In 2020, m³ sold rose 14% compared to 2019, a reflection of tankage expansion during 2H19 and 1H20 and greater efficiency in the utilization of existing capacity.


Net revenuesTotal of R$ 166 million in 4Q20 (+9%), driven by increased fuel handling, contractual readjustments, new agreements and spot operations. Compared to 3Q20, net revenue increased 4%, mainly the result of contractual readjustments and spot operations. In 2020, net revenues amounted to R$ 644 million, 19% higher than 2019.


Cost of services provided Total of R$ 74 million, in line with 4Q19, mainly a reflection of higher depreciation expenses (tankage expansion) and payroll, offset by lower maintenance costs. The cost of services provided per m³ sold, recorded a reduction of 3%, indicating continued productivity gains in the terminals. In relation to 3Q20, the cost of services provided increased 8%, mainly due to greater outlay with payroll and maintenance work in the Santos port terminal. In 2020, the cost of services provided amounted to R$ 270 million, an increase of 3% in relation to 2019. The cost of services provided per m³ sold recorded a year-on-year reduction of 9%, reflecting a significant gain in terminal productivity.


Sales, general and administrative expenses Total of R$ 34 million (-21%), due to non-recurring expenses with the start of expansion operations at Santos and Itaqui terminals and with personnel (indemnifications), both in 4Q19. In relation to 3Q20, sales, general and administrative expenses fell 2%, due to reduced payroll expenses. In 2020, SG&A amounted to R$ 130 million, 3% less than 2019.


EBITDA – Total of R$ 77 million (+43%), the result of increased handling of products enabled by expansion of capacity and efficiency gains at the terminals, as well as contractual readjustments and productivity gains. In relation to 3Q20, EBITDA was R$ 1 million down. In 2020, Ultracargo’s EBITDA reached the record level of R$ 337 million, representing a growth of 41% compared to 2019 – excluding the negative effects of the Conduct Adjustment Agreement - TAC in 2019 and tax credits in 2Q20 – a reflection of expansion in tankage capacity and efficiency gains at the terminals as well as contractual readjustments and productivity gains.


Investments Ultracargo reported investments in the period of R$ 101 million, mainly involving the construction of the new Vila do Conde (PA) terminal, expansion at the Itaqui port terminal and projects for improving efficiency as well as maintenance and operational safety of the terminals. In 2020, the company invested a total of R$ 215 million.

¹ Does not include the effects of tax credits of R$ 71 M and R$ 85 M in 1Q20 and 4Q20, respectively, and R$ 14 M of written off Oxiteno Andina’s assets in 4Q19

Operational performance Specialty chemicals volume reported strong growth of 21% compared to 4Q19, boosted by higher sales across all segments of the domestic market, most notably the home and personal care, crop solutions and coatings segments, in addition to higher sales in the United States (+18%). Commodity sales volume remained flat. Volumes during the quarter were practically in line with those of 3Q20. In 2020, Oxiteno sold 753 thousand tons, 3% higher than 2019.

Net revenues Total of R$ 1,477 million (+46%), due to an average devaluation of 31% in the Real (R$ 1.28/US$) and higher sales volume. In relation to 3Q20, net revenues rose 4% due to the increase of 3% in average prices in dollars. In 2020, net revenues totaled R$ 5,211 million, an expansion of 22% relative to 2019.

Cost of goods sold Total of R$ 1,186 million (+43%), due to an average devaluation of 31% in the Real (R$ 1.28/US$) and increased sales volume. Compared to 3Q20, cost of goods sold rose by 3%, the result of the increase of 2% in cost of goods sold in US$ per ton. In 2020, the cost of goods sold was R$ 4,189 million, 18% greater than 2019.

Sales, general and administrative expenses Total of R$ 227 million (+16%), due to the foreign exchange translation effect at the international units, higher logistics expenses (greater sales volume) and variable compensation, in line with earnings progression. In relation to 3Q20, sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 4% due to higher expenditures at the international units. In 2020, SG&A amounted to R$ 820 million, 13% higher in relation to 2019.

Other operating results Total of R$ 85 million in 4Q20 due to the constitution of non-recurring tax credits related to the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS/Cofins tax calculation base.

Result from the disposal of propertyAn increase of R$ 9 million, due to the write-off of R$14 million of Oxiteno Andina’s assets in 4Q19, in light of the decision to exit the operation, attenuated by the writing down of projects in 4Q20.

EBITDA – Total of R$ 262 million (+361%). Excluding non-recurring tax credits in 4Q20, EBITDA for 4Q20 was R$ 177 million, a robust growth of 150% compared to 4Q19 (excluding the write-off of Oxiteno Andina’s assets in 4Q19), due to higher sales volume, the ramp-up of the plant in the United States and the average devaluation of the Real of 31% (R$ 1.28/US$), attenuated by the increase in expenses. In relation to 3Q20, recurring EBITDA increased by 5%, reflecting higher sales volume and a better sales mix. EBITDA for 2020 of R$ 785 million was a record for Oxiteno, 254% greater than 2019. Excluding non-recurring tax credits for the year, EBITDA was R$ 629 million (+167%).

¹ Fuel oils, arla 32, kerosene, lubricants, and greases

 

Operational performance Ipiranga reported a reduction of 5% in sales volume in relation to 4Q19, still due to the effects of the pandemic which had a major impact on fuel consumption in Brazil since the end of March. The Otto cycle, the segment most affected, reported a drop in sales volumes of 9% in relation to 4Q19, while diesel volume was down 2%. In spite of the decline in relation to the preceding year, volume was 5% greater than 3Q20, with an increase of 18% in the Otto cycle segment, a reflection of the gradual recovery that has taken place over the months, attenuated by the reduction of 5% in diesel. In 2020, Ipiranga sold 21,461 thousand m³, 9% down on 2019.


Net revenues Total of R$ 19,116 million (-6%), mainly due to lower sales volume. Compared to 3Q20, net revenues recorded a growth of 14%, reflecting the gradual recovery in sales volume and higher average fuel prices, following readjustments by Petrobras. In 2020, net revenues totaled R$ 66,133 million, 12% lower than 2019.


Cost of goods sold Total of R$ 18,414 million (-5%), due to lower sales volume. In relation to 3Q20, there was an increase of 15%, a reflection of higher sales volume and increased average fuel prices, reflecting readjustments by Petrobras. The cost volatility in petroleum derivatives and the unfavorable parity for imports both had a negative effect on results in 4Q20 as compared to 3Q20. In 2020, cost of goods sold was R$ 63,610 million, 12% lower than 2019, in line with the drop in net revenues.


Sales, general and administrative expenses Total of R$ 472 million (-10%), mainly reflecting initiatives introduced for reducing and containing expenses and lower expenditures with doubtful accounts and freight (lower sales volume). In relation to 3Q20, there was an increase of 16% in sales, general and administrative expenses, reflecting higher provisions for doubtful accounts (parameters update) and a partial recovery in expenses held back in previous quarter. In 2020, SG&A totaled R$ 1,708 million, a reduction of 15% in relation to 2019.


Other operating results Total of R$ 23 million, a decrease of R$ 54 million in relation to the same period last year due to the appropriation of CBios costs (relative to RenovaBio program targets) of R$ 58 million in 4Q20.

Disposal of property Total of R$ 47 million, due to the sale of property in the period, the real estate value of which was higher than its respective value as an asset for the company, thus contributing to an improvement in the efficiency of Ipiranga’s employed capital.


EBITDA – Total of R$ 487 million (-30%), a function of lower sales volume, lower margins and other operating results, partially offset by decreased expenses and a higher result for property disposals. In relation to 3Q20, there was a reduction of 14%, largely reflecting lower margins (in turn reflecting the reduced effects of volatility in costs and the unfavorable parity for imports) and higher expenses, attenuated mainly by higher sales volume and other operating results. In 2020, Ipiranga’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 1,712 million, a decrease of 31% relative to 2019, due to lower sales volume and reduced margins aggravated by oscillations in fuel costs as well as a reduction in other operating results.


Investments Ipiranga invested R$ 183 million in the expansion and maintenance of the service station and franchise networks and logistics infrastructure. Out of the total invested, R$ 84 million relates to plant, property and equipment and additions to intangible assets, R$ 59 million in contractual assets with clients (exclusive rights) and R$ 39 million in the form of drawdowns of financing to clients and advanced payments of rents, net of receipts. In 2020, the company invested R$ 688 million. Despite lower investments and the impact of the pandemic, Ipiranga ended 4Q20 with 7,107 service stations, 17 more than in 4Q19 and in line with 3Q20.

¹ Does not include the effect of the impairment of R$ 593 M in 4Q19

 

Operational performance Extrafarma ended 4Q20 with 405 drugstores, 2 store openings and 13 closures in the last twelve months, a reduction of 3% in its network and the result of greater selectivity in expansion and a more rigorous approach to underperforming stores. Over the course of 4Q20, stores located in shopping malls continued to experience customer flows below pre-pandemic levels. At the end of the quarter, stores still at the ramping-up phase (with up to three years of operations) represented 25% of the network.


Gross revenues Total of R$ 548 million (+4%) due to higher same store sales (+6%), driven by better results from promotional initiatives (particularly over the Black Friday period and the implementation of the personalized promotional coupon for use throughout the network), by the annual readjustment in medicine prices and by the expansion in sales through the digital channels, partially offset by the lower number of stores (-3%). In relation to 3Q20, gross revenue posted an increase of 5%, mainly a reflection of seasonal factors between the periods and a greater volume of promotional activity. In 2020, Extrafarma reported gross revenue of R$ 2,106 million, 3% less than 2019.


Cost of goods sold and gross profit Cost of goods sold totaled R$ 363 million (+5%) due to increased sales. Gross profit was R$ 156 million (+1%), equivalent to a gross margin of 28.4%, 0.9 p.p. lower than 4Q19, due to higher volumes of promotional activity. Compared to 3Q20, cost of goods sold rose 5% while gross profit increased by 6%, both reflecting the increase in sales. In 2020, cost of goods sold totaled R$ 1,399 million (-4%) and gross profit, R$ 589 million (-1%).


Sales, general and administrative expenses Total of R$ 157 million (-11%) due to the lower number of stores and productivity gains, logistics optimization and expense containing initiatives. Compared to 3Q20, sales, general and administrative expenses declined by 1%. In 2020, SG&A expenses amounted to R$ 654 million, 11% lower than 2019.


Other operating results An increase of R$ 7 million, mainly due to the writing off of tax credits in 4Q19.


Disposal of property An increase of R$ 17 million, reflecting the writing off of investments due to store closures in 4Q19.


Reduction in asset (impairment) Total R$ 593 million booked in 4Q19 due to the impairment of goodwill from the acquisition of Extrafarma.


EBITDA – Total of R$ 34 million, an increase of R$ 44 million compared to 4Q19, excluding the impairment effect. This growth is a consequence of closing underperforming stores and higher profitability from the existing network, initiatives for enhancing productivity and reduction of expenses. In relation to 3Q20, the company reported growth of 23%, mainly a function of higher sales. In 2020, Extrafarma’s EBITDA was R$ 84 million, a strong year-on-year growth of 208%, excluding the impairment effect, and a consequence of: (i) maturation of the network opened in the past three years, (ii) the implementation of a process for eliminating under-performing stores and greater network profitability, (iii) improved margins; and (iv) initiatives for productivity gains and reduction of expenses.


Investments In 4Q20, Extrafarma invested R$ 11 million, allocated largely to the construction of the Maranhão distribution center, projects linked to store IT and maintenance. In 2020, the company invested R$ 39 million.

Ultrapar ended 4Q20 with a net financial debt of R$ 8.7 billion, comprised of gross debt of R$ 17.4 billion and cash position of R$ 8.7 billion. The reduction in the position of cash and gross debt reflects active management for reducing the carrying cost of net debt with early repayments. The effect of exchange rate variation on net debt for the portion of notes designated for hedge accounting of R$ 251 million in 4Q20 contributed to the reduction of debt compared to the position at the end of 3Q20. Considering leases payable (IFRS 16) of R$ 1.8 billion, total net debt was R$ 10.5 billion (3.0x LTM Adjusted EBITDA) compared to R$ 10.8 billion on September 30, 2020 (3.1x LTM Adjusted EBITDA), mainly due to cash generation in the period.

Updates on ESG themes

For another year, the Ultra Group participated in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), a not-for-profits initiative which mobilizes investors, companies, and governments to build a more sustainable economy. The Group retained its B score for the Climate Change theme, exceeding the regional average for South America (note D), as well as for the oil & gas retail sector (note D). It also obtained the same score for the Water Security theme, also making a positive debut in this category.

Ultra Group reported its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to participate in the Carbon Efficient Index (ICO2 B3), effective between January 4 and April 30, 2021. Since 2012, the Group has been a component of the index, which encourages emitting companies to measure, disclose and monitor their GHG emissions in preparation to operate in a low carbon economy. A total of 62 out of the 100 shares in the IBRX invited to incorporate the ICO2 index were selected.

In March 2021, Ultrapar will establish the Sustainability and Corporate Affairs executive position, reporting directly to the CEO, for accelerating and integrating the efforts and initiatives of the Group businesses, to be encapsulated in a single and objective agenda and one with a broad visibility and clearly defined and disclosed targets.

Ultragaz, in partnership with the Federal Electoral Court, participated in the Vote Safely campaign for disseminating information on the necessary precautions with respect to COVID-19 on election day. This campaign reached 5 million people in 19 states. In partnership with UNESCO and the Maria Cecília Souto Vidigal Foundation, in December, Ultragaz participated in an educative action for delivery of booklets with questions and answers on the new coronavirus.

Oxiteno rose two categories in the EcoVadis ranking, a platform globally recognized for assessing corporate sustainability performance. The Company is currently rated in the Platinum category, the highest in the ranking of the EcoVadis Sustainability Rating and achieved by only 1% of all the companies assessed, and only the second Brazilian company to achieve this position. Additionally, Oxiteno won the Kurt Politzer Award for technology presented by Abiquim (Brazilian Chemicals Industry Association) in the company category, with the project for coatings on coalescent made entirely from renewable sources. Yet on responsibility with the value chain, Oxiteno was also audited by the RSPO – Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil and was again recommended for recertification. In addition, Ultrapar was audited with zero qualifications by Responsible Sourcing SMETA Sedex Member Ethical Trade Audit and TfS Together for Sustainability.

The projects of both Oxiteno and Ipiranga were approved in the Inova 2030 – Innovative SDG Youngsters (idealized by the UN Global Compact), an incubator program for young professionals with the desire to solve a business challenge and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

In 2020 Ultracargo completed its materiality assessment, thus consolidating its matrix, with the aim of aligning its strategy with its potential to contribute as a sector leader. The Company also maintained its sponsorship of the Community in Action, award organized by the newspaper A Tribuna, of Santos (SP), recognizing social projects developed in the Santos region where Ultracargo operates its largest port terminal.

2.     CONFLICT OF INTEREST

 

2.1     CONCEPTS

A conflict of interest arises when a person does not have, or appears not to have, the independence necessary to perform its duties.

 

It is identified in situations that represent a confrontation between the particular interests of a Partner or Employee and the interests of Ultra Group, which may, in an effective or apparent way, affect the capacity for impartial judgment or compromise or improperly influence the performance of such persons duties, to the detriment of Ultra Groups interests, values, ethics or reputation. A conflict of interest may exist even if it does not cause any damage to Ultra Groups tangible, intangible or financial assets and/or its reputation.

 

The use of the position or information, confidential or not, that may influence any decision of Ultra Group and that benefit in any way its particular interests can also be featured as a conflict of interest.

 

Employees must not act in a way that differs from Ultra Groups objectives and interests, nor must they undertake conducts that may adversely affect the trust of stakeholders and other Employees regarding the integrity, principles and values adopted by Ultra Group.

 

All Employees must be aware of the potential configuration of a conflict of interest in the conduct of their activities, and must immediately report a potential conflict, as provided in this Policy, as soon as it is identified.

 

This Policy does not cover all conflict of interest situations that may exist, but highlights, by way of example, the most frequent situations of conflict of interest in the workplace and in the relationship with Customers, Suppliers and Service Providers, External Representatives and Business Partners, whether public or private entities.

GRAPHICS


A conflict of interest can arise when the exercise of the duties of a Partner or Employee can be influenced in some way:

(i)              by its family, friendship or business relationship with other individuals or entities;

(ii)            by its interests, those of its Relatives or Close Relationship Persons in relation to any individual or entity that contracts with Ultra Group or that, even without contracting, has any interest opposite to that of Ultra Group; or

(iii)           by any other relationship that may prevent it from working and fulfilling Ultra Group’s interest.

 

Partners or Employees can suggest the contracting of Relatives, Close Relationship Persons, External Representatives, Business Partners, Suppliers and Service Providers, provided that the relationship is formally reported to the direct manager and that the contracting process is conducted in compliance with the conditions established by this Policy and the Code of Ethics, with transparency and within market standards, without any personal advantage.

 

The direct subordination of Relatives to the respective Employee is prohibited.

 

Employees equity interest in other companies is allowed, but they must not:

(i)                hold any relevant interest capable of influencing Ultra Group decisions;

(ii)              hold any relevant interest in companies competing with Ultra Group;

(iii)            exercise executive duty equal to or similar to that performed at Ultra Group;

(iv)             use an amount of time that conflicts with its activities at Ultra Group; or

(v)              benefit the company in any way in contracting processes with Ultra Group.

2.2     CONDUCT IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST1

Whoever finds themselves in a situation, real or potential, of conflict of interest shall immediately report this fact to its manager, who shall contact the Business Compliance area or the DRCA, to assist it in the definition of measures and procedures, if necessary, and guide it on which conducts should be adopted, as well as monitor compliance with such measures. Such communication shall be made, whenever possible, before the Partner or Employee becomes involved in the conduct that generates the potential conflict of interest.

 

In addition to the communication provided in this item, without prejudice to measures and conducts indicated by the Business Compliance area or the DRCA, the Partner or Employee shall be absent from discussions on the matter, as well as refrain from negotiating, evaluating, giving an opinion, voting or in any other way participating or influencing the conduct or approval of the respective matter by Ultra Group.

 

For purposes of example, the following measures and conducts can be evaluated and adopted in order to resolve conflict situations:

(i)            withdrawal of the Partner or Employee from the discussion and decision-making authority in relation to the matter, including involving any individual or entity that contracts with Ultra Group;

(ii)            transfer of supervisory or leadership duties to other Employees; or

(iii)          interruption or adjustment of activities with the potential to generate a conflict.

 

If the Partner or Employee does not express its conflict of interest, anyone may do so.

 

When the conflict of interest – real or potential – occurs in a matter submitted to the resolution of Ultra Group’s Management, the conflicted person – or potentially conflicted – or any other attending person who is aware of the conflict in question, shall inform the fact to the other members of the Management body.



1 Novo Mercado Regulation (“RNM” – art. 35: “The policy on transactions with related parties shall include, at a minimum: (...) II. - procedures to assist the identification of individual situations that may involve conflicts of interest and, consequently, prevent the voting of the Company’s shareholders or managers;

GRAPHICS


Once an effective or apparent conflict of interest situation has been identified, the conflicted person will be prohibited from participating in the resolutions on that matter, and shall no longer receive any information or documents on the topic, and the acts eventually practiced until then shall be null and void.

 

All information and decisions involving the identified conflict of interest (such as, for example, justifications to support the bodys decision and period of withdrawal, as well as related documents) shall be included in the minutes, respecting possible confidentiality obligations regarding such information and documents.

 

If requested by the chairman of the board or Management body, the conflicted person may participate partially in the discussion, in order to provide additional information on the matter. In this case, the conflicted person must be absent during the deliberation of the matter.

3.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

3.1     CONCEPTS

In accordance with CPC Technical Pronouncement No. 05 (R1), issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee, Related Parties are considered as:

a)       a person or a close family member related to Ultra Group that reports the information if:

(i)           they have full or shared control over any Ultra Group’s company;

(ii)         they have a Significant Influence on any Ultra Group’s company; or

(iii)        they are a Key Person of Ultra Group’s Management or Controlling Shareholder, if any.

b)      an entity, even if unincorporated, when that entity:

(i)          controls, individually or jointly, is controlled by, or is under the common control of Ultra Group (this includes Controlling Shareholders, if any, or direct or indirect subsidiaries);

(ii)          has a Significant Influence on any Ultra Group’s company;

(iii)         is under the joint control (joint venture) of Ultra Group and a third-party entity;

(iv)         is an affiliate of any Ultra Group’s company;

(v)           is under joint control of Ultra Group’s Controlling Shareholders, if any, together with a third-party entity;

(vi)         administers a post-employment benefit plan whose beneficiaries are employed, on the one hand, by Ultra Group and, on the other hand, by the entity that is related to Ultra Group; or

(vii)        is controlled, fully or is under joint control, by a person indicated in (a) above;

(viii)      is under the Significant Influence of a person named in (a)(i) above;

(ix)          has as Key Person (or as Key Person of its Controlling Shareholders, if any) a person identified in (a)(i) above.

 

An entity will not automatically be considered a Related Party of Ultra Group because it has a Manager or Key Person of the Management in common, being necessary to analyze other aspects of the transaction.

 


7


GRAPHICS


Also according to CPC Technical Pronouncement No. 05 (R1), Related Party transactions occur when there is a transfer of resources, services or obligations between Related Parties, regardless of whether a price is charged in return. They are transactions with individuals or legal entities whose ties can de-characterize the independence between the parties, independence that is typically found in transactions with any third party.

 

In case of conflict between the definitions of Related Parties provided for in this Policy and those contained in CPC 05(R1), the rules of CPC 05(R1) will prevail.

 

3.2     GENERAL GUIDELINES

Related Party transactions shall be conducted in the best interest of Ultra Group, without conflict of interest and respecting the following general guidelines[2]:

  • market conditions: the transaction shall be guided by reasonable market conditions, in accordance with the criteria established in this Policy, other policies and internal rules and in the applicable regulation;
  • equal treatment: Related Parties will have the same treatment as any other market entity (arm’s length), and any discrimination, privilege, use of privileged information or preference in business opportunities for the benefit of Related Party is prohibited;
  • competitiveness: the area responsible for the transaction shall, whenever possible, seek at least one market alternative to carry out the transaction;
  • compliance: the transaction must adhere to the contractual terms and responsibilities practiced by Ultra Group;
  • justification: the transaction shall be based on reasonable motives from an economic and strategic point of view, representing the best alternative for Ultra Group among those existing in the market;
  • formality: the transaction shall be carried out in writing, specifying its main characteristics and conditions and other information considered relevant.
