MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT

Dear Investors,

We uphold our mission of supporting Brazil's development with our services, which are aligned with the interests of our customers and society, as we only charge for working machines and we recycle components that normally are discarded. Our focus remains in pursuing operational excellence and safety in our operations, which is an essential attribute for our sustainable growth. To achieve this, we continue heavily investing in Armac future, that includes our mechanics, operators, and drivers. In mechanics, only in the first months of 2023, we have already graduated more than 40 mechanics and 293 others are being instructed in our career progression programs. The commitment and creativity of these professionals are a central part to our success.

In addition to investing in our team of employees, we have started an important transformation in 2023 to make our operations the safest in our industry. Protecting who operates and does maintenance on machines is part of our reason to exist. As one of the biggest yellow line fleet owners in the world, we are seeking tools and methods that make safer the lives of those who work with our equipment. An important achievement already obtained was a 60% reduction in time-loss accidents in the first 4 months of 2023. Part of this process involved the evolution of our values, detailed below:

Regarding our financial results, we are not satisfied with first quarter's. A stronger than expected rainy season affected infrastructure, mining, and agribusiness customers. We had volume reduction, interruptions in port terminals in the state of PR and in some rail tracks in MG state. Due to raining, we postponed deployments expected to occur in this period. In the worst moment of the quarter, fleet occupation reached 60%, and average occupation was 65%. Even so, Armac grew 47.7% in Gross Revenue and 50.9% in EBITDA over 1Q22.

This one-off delay in the budgeted revenue for this quarter penalized us because of the anticipation of costs and expenses to sustain the growth of the following quarters and our structure of fixed costs. Even with operational deleveraging, we maintained EBITDA Margin around 47%, but below our goal. The trajectory of cost dilution and gains in EBITDA Margin is a compromise of Armac.

1Q23 Results

Despite the delay in deployments, we were successful in our commercial efforts through the first quarter. We signed contracts that will be deployed in the second and third quarters for most of the inventory, that once in full operation will generate a quarterly additional recurrence of more than R$ 80 million in revenues. Validating economically our investments of the second half of 2022.

About capital allocation, we remain focused on concluding the mobilization of our inventory so then we can reaccelerate CAPEX and fleet expansion. The sectors we serve, notably agribusiness, mining, bioenergy and pulp and paper, remain with strong demand despite a challenging economic environment, what keeps us optimistic. Commercial projects pipeline remains robust and with great share of the inventory waiting for deployment, what should happen through second and third quarters of 2023. The R$ 126 million CAPEX of the first quarter was made in assets that we didn't have in stock, demanded by long-term projects (+4 years). Operating Cash Flow generation allowed us to maintain leverage around 2.5x, same level as 4Q22. We remain with discipline seeking even lower levels of Net Debt/EBITDA LTM. We comprehend this is efficient and prudent in the current scenario of elevated interest rate.

Finally, we would like to thank our collaborators, suppliers, and shareholders for another quarter of full of work and partnership. We still have a lot to do together.
