Adjusted EBITDA was BRL 401,390,000 against BRL 475,340,000 a year ago, mainly due to the lower sugar sales volume and lower average sugar sales price, which were partially offset by (ii) the higher ethanol and cogeneration sales volume, with higher average prices in relation to first quarter of 2018, and the lower unit production cost for both sugar and ethanol.

The reduction in Adjusted EBIT is due to the same factors that adversely affected EBITDA. Net debt as at June 30, 2018 was BRL 2,651,458,000 against BRL 2,462,768,000 a year ago. Maintenance capex was BRL 164,459,000 against BRL 152,911,000 a year ago, basically due to the higher investments in planting. Capex was BRL 205,984,000 against BRL 196,061,000 a year ago.
