    1. Management's Comments

      The instable and uncertain environment that has caused strong impact on the Brazilian economic activity in the past two years began to show signs of recovery mainly due to the beginning of a cycle of cut in the base interest rate, which, besides turning credit cheaper, can bring a relief to the financial situation of families and companies by reducing debt expenses. To a certain extent, this change has slightly increased consumers' confidence thus positively impacting demand for durable goods, including vehicles.

      Consequently, our domestic OEM sales increased 19.0% in the 1Q17, the first rise after 13 consecutive quarters of drops.

      In the 1Q17, the Company reported net sales revenue of R$ 540.5 million (a fall of 5.6% compared to the 1Q16) resulting from a 16.7% drop in OEM exports and a 6.7% reduction in aftermarket sales, which were partially offset by the 19.0% increase in domestic OEM sales.

      The graph below shows revenue distribution in the 1Q17 and 1Q16 in the markets where the Company operates:

      In the 1Q17, operating income measured by EBITDA was R$ 80.7 million, with EBITDA margin of 14.9%.

      The Net Debt/Ebitda ratio at the end of the 1Q17 was

      0.54 times, while at the end of 1Q16 the ratio was

      0.62 times.

      We keep investing in research and development (in the 1Q17, the R&D investments accounted for 3.9% of net sales revenues) since we believe this is one of the main competitiveness drivers. To that end, collaboration with several players is the key point to increasingly prospect new state-of-the-art technologies.

      Still there are important challenges to be overcome. However, we will face them with constant engagement of our employees, with focus on innovation, automation and cost management, always committed to developing products and solutions with the aim to maintain a long-term relationship with our stakeholders.
