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

  • EBITDA - Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, Adjusted EBITDA - adjusted for the amortization of contractual assets with customers - exclusive rights, and EBIT- Earnings Before Interest and Taxes, are presented in accordance with CVM Instruction No. 527, issued by CVM on October 4, 2012.

  • As from 2018, the IFRS 9 and 15 standards were adopted, amendments to the IFRS rules and interpretations issued by the IASB. In order to provide a comparative basis for the financial statements, the information for the first and fourth quarter of 2017 shown in this document incorporates these accounting changes, consequently differing from the values previously reported in the respective publications of results. Additional information can be found in note 2.y of the quarterly financial statements of September 30, 2018 and in the financial spreadsheets, available from the Ultrapar website (ri.ultra.com.br).
