To the Shareholders of the

Ultrapar Participações S.A.

São Paulo - SP

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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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 matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were 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 these matters.

Recoverable amount of goodwill recorded in business combination - individual and consolidated (Refer to notes 2. (t) Impairment of assets and 13 Intangible Assets)

The acquisition of the Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos S.A. (Extrafarma) operations in previous years resulted in recognition of goodwill, which the recoverable amount must be tested annually.. The determination of the necessity of recording a provision for impairment is supported by future profitability based on the business plan and budget as prepared by the Company and approved by the Board of Directors, which are made based on methodologies and assumptions, which involve judgment such as: discount and growth rates, sales revenue, costs, gross margin and new investments. Due to the relevance of the amounts, to the complexity, judgment and uncertainty inherent to the process of determining the future profitability of the cash generating units for the purpose of evaluating the recoverable value of such assets, and to the impacts that eventual changes in the assumptions used in the referred calculation might have in the consolidated financial statements as well as in the amount of the investment recorded under the equity method in the parent company's financial statements, we consider this a key audit matter.

Our response

We evaluated the design and effectiveness of the key internal controls related to the identification and measurement of the recoverable value of the cash generating units where the goodwill was allocated.

Within the involvement of our corporate finance specialists, we evaluate the reasonableness of the methodology used by the Company and the assumptions used in calculating discounted cash flows, including growth and discount rates, comparing historical information, and testing the arithmetic accuracy of the formulas used in discounted cash flow models. We evaluated the sensitivity of results prepared by the Company considering reasonable changes in the key assumptions and comparing the budgets approved in the previous year with the actual amounts calculated in order to verify the Company's ability to project future net income. In addition, we compared the recoverable amount calculated based on the discounted cash flows, per cash generating unit, to the carrying amount of the respective cash generating units and we evaluated the adequacy of the disclosures made in the consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the evidence obtained through the procedures as described above, we consider that the is acceptable the goodwill amount on the business combination in the context of the individual and consolidated statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 taken as a whole.

Contingent liabilities – Individual and consolidated (Note 20 provisions and contingent liability)

The Company is the counterpart in judicial and administrative tax, civil and labor lawsuits arising from the normal

Ultrapar Participações S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

course of its activities. Several laws and regulations in Brazil have a high degree of complexity and therefore, the measurement and recognition of provisions and contingent liabilities related to these lawsuits may require Company´s professional judgment. Due to the relevance, complexity and judgment involved in the evaluation, measurement and definition of the moment of recognition and disclosure of these contingent liabilities that may impact the value of these liabilities in the individual and consolidated financial statements and the value of the investment recorded under the equity method in the financial statements of the parent company we consider this a key audit matter.

Our response

We evaluated the design and effectiveness of the key internal controls determined by the Company on the analysis of contingent liabilities and we evaluated the adequacy of recognized and disclosed provisions by evaluating the criteria and assumptions used in its measurement methodology, considering also the evaluation of the Company's internal and external legal councilors. We obtained and analyzed confirmations from the Company's external legal councilors regarding risk classification, updated amount of legal claims, and the technical basis applied. We compared our evaluation of the probability of success of the main tax matters and that of the Company. When necessary, the Company was requested to evaluate the likelihood of success arising from an external legal councilor, different from the one responsible for conducting the legal claim. We also evaluate whether the disclosures in the individual and consolidated financial statements provide information on the nature, exposure, amounts registered or disclosed, relating to the main contingencies that the Company is involved in.

Based on the audit evidence obtained through the procedures described above, we consider acceptable the measurement of provisions and related disclosures in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 taken as a whole.

Acquisition of interest in Chevron Brasil Lubrificantes S.A. Individual and consolidated (Refer to Note 3c Conclusion of association with Chevron Brasil Lubrificantes S.A.)

The Company, through its subsidiary Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A., acquired in 2017 interest in the company Chevron Brasil Lubrificantes S.A., that operates in the segment of production and sales of lubricants. Estimates associated with accounting for a business acquisition involve a significant risk as there are relevant judgments in determining the fair value of the consideration transferred, assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill calculation based on future profitability and the information that is disclosed in the financial statements enabling users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Due to the relevance of the amounts, the complexity, judgment of the assumptions and the methodology used in the aforementioned measurements and the impact that eventual changes in the assumptions could have on the financial statements and the value of the investment recorded under the equity method in the parent company financial statements, we consider this a key audit matter.

Our response

We evaluated the design and effectiveness of the key internal controls related to the identification, evaluation and valuation of the business acquisition. We evaluated the contracts that formalized the business combination and reviewed the transaction support documentation. With the assistance of our corporate finance specialists, we evaluated the main assumptions and methodology used by the Company in determining and appropriate recognition of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and in the measurement of goodwill for future profitability, based on our knowledge of the Company and industry in which it operates,, and we compared the independent calculations performed with external and historical data to analyze the reasonableness of fair value. We also considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in the individual and consolidated financial statements.

As a result of the evidence obtained through the procedures as described above, we consider that the recognition and disclose in the business combination are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 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, 2017, 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.

Notes to the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

The individual and consolidated financial statements of the Ultrapar Participações S.A. (The Company) for the year ended December 31, 2016, were audited by another auditor who issued an unmodified opinion on those individual and consolidated financial statements on February 22, 2017.

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.

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.

Ultrapar Participações S.A. and Subsidiaries

Notes to the Individual and Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

– 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.

– 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 matters. 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.

The accounting practices adopted in Brazil comprise the Brazilian Corporate Law and the Pronouncements, Guidelines and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”) and approved by the Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

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

The presentation currency of the Company’s individual and consolidated 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 the individual and consolidated financial statements.

a. Recognition of Income

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of sales returns, discounts, and other deductions, if applicable.

Revenue from sales of fuels and lubricants is recognized when the products are delivered to gas stations and to large consumers. 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. 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. Revenue from sales of chemical products is recognized when the products are delivered to industrial customers, depending of the freight mode of delivery. The revenue provided from storage services is recognized as services are performed. 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 filling costs.

b. Cash and Cash Equivalents

c. Financial Assets

In accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 32, IAS 39, and IFRS 7 (CPC 38, 39 and 40 (R1)), the financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are classified in accordance with the following categories:

· Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets held for trading, that is, acquired or incurred principally for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term, and derivatives. The balances are stated at fair value. The interest earned, the exchange variation, and changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.

· Held to maturity: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, and fixed maturities for which the entity has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. 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.

· Available for sale: non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or that are not classified into other categories at initial recognition. 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 acquisition cost plus the interest earned are recognized in other comprehensive income in the “Valuation adjustments”. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in shareholders’ equity are reclassified to profit or loss in case of prepayment.

· Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments or receipts, not quoted in an active market, except: (i) those which the entity intends to sell immediately or in the near term and which the entity classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss; (ii) those classified as available for sale; or (iii) those for which the Company may not recover substantially all of its initial investment for reasons other than credit deterioration. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss. The balances are stated at acquisition cost plus interest, using the effective interest rate method.

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 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 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 income statements. 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 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 Company cancels the hedging relationship; (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 other comprehensive income in equity are reclassified to 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 other comprehensive income in equity 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 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 income upon disposal of the foreign operation.

For further detail on financial instruments of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Note 31.

d. Trade Receivables

Trade receivables are recognized at the amount invoiced, adjusted to present value if applicable, and includes all direct taxes attributable to the subsidiaries. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on estimated losses and is set at an amount deemed by management to be sufficient to cover any probable loss on realization of trade receivables (see Notes 5 and 31 - Customer Credit Risk).

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. Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the individual financial statements of the parent company (see Notes 3.b and 11).

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 individual and consolidated financial statements (see Note 11).

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.

g. Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment is recognized at acquisition or construction cost, including financial charges incurred on property, plant, and equipment under construction (see Note 12), as well as maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages and estimated costs to remove, to decommission, or to restore assets (see Notes 2.m and 19), less accumulated depreciation and, when applicable, less provision for losses.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, over the periods mentioned in Note 12, 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.

h. Leases

• Finance Leases

Certain lease contracts transfer substantially all the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of an asset to the subsidiaries. These contracts are characterized as finance leases, and assets thereunder are capitalized at lease commencement at their fair value or, if lower, present value of the minimum lease payments under the contracts. The items recognized as assets are depreciated and amortized using the lower of the straight-line method over the lower of the useful lives applicable to each group of assets or the contract terms, as mentioned in Notes 12 and 13. Financial charges under the finance lease contracts are allocated to profit or loss over the lease contract term, based on the amortized cost and the effective interest rate method of the related lease obligation (see Note 14.i).

• Operating Leases

There are lease transactions where the risks and benefits associated with the ownership of the asset are not transferred and where there is no purchase option, or the purchase option at the end of the contract is equivalent to the market value of the leased asset. Payments made under an operating lease contract are recognized as cost or expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease contract (see Note 32.c).

i. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, according to the criteria below (see Note 13):

	•	Goodwill is carried net of accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2008, when it ceased to be amortized. Goodwill generated since January 1, 2009 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, and is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the business segments, which represent the lowest level that goodwill is monitored by the Company for impairment testing purposes (see Note 13.i).
	•	Exclusive rights disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recognized as distribution rights when paid and amortized according to the conditions established in the agreements (see Note 13.v).
	•	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 13, taking into account their useful life, which is 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 13 items i and vi).

j. 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 or less a provision for loss and, if applicable, adjustment to present value (see Note 2.u).

k. Financial Liabilities

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial liabilities include trade payables and other payables, loans, debentures, finance leases 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, 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 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 to profit or loss over its term, using the effective interest rate method (see Note 14.j).

l. 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, considering the value of tax incentives. 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 income tax and 9% for social contribution on net income tax. For further details 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, income tax and social contribution, in the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

m. Provision for Asset Retirement Obligation – Fuel Tanks

The Company and its subsidiaries have the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s 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 property, plant, and equipment and depreciated over the respective useful lives of the tanks. The amounts recognized as a liability are monetarily restated using the National Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) until the respective tank is removed (see Note 19). An increase in the estimated cost of the obligation to remove the tanks could result in negative impact in future results. 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 income when they become known.

n. 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 20).

o. 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, using the projected unit credit method (see Note 18.b). The actuarial gains and losses are recognized in cumulative other comprehensive income in the “Valuation adjustments” and presented in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Past service cost is recognized in the income statement.

p. Other Liabilities

Other liabilities are stated at known or measurable amounts plus, if applicable, related charges, monetary restatement, 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.

q. 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 reporting period. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in profit or loss until the conclusion of each transaction.

r. Basis for Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries

Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries, denominated in currencies other than that of the Company (functional currency: Brazilian Real), which have administrative autonomy, are translated using the exchange rate at the end of the reporting year. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate of each year and shareholders’ equity is translated at the historic exchange rate of each transaction affecting shareholders’ equity. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized in shareholders’ equity in cumulative other comprehensive income in the “cumulative translation adjustments” and will be recognized in profit or loss if these investments are disposed of. The balance in cumulative other comprehensive income and presented in the shareholders’ equity as cumulative translation adjustments in 2017 was a gain of R$ 53,061 (gain of R$ 7,519 in 2016) - see Note 23.g - Cumulative Translation Adjustments.

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

Subsidiary	Functional currency	Location

Oxiteno México S.A. de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico
Oxiteno Servicios Corporativos S.A. de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico
Oxiteno Servicios Industriales de C.V.	Mexican Peso	Mexico
Oxiteno USA LLC	U.S. Dollar	United States
Oxiteno Uruguay S.A. (i)	U.S. Dollar	Uruguay
Oxiteno Andina, C.A. (ii)	Bolivar	Venezuela

(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.

(ii) According to IAS 29, Venezuela is classified as a hyperinflationary economy. As a result, the financial information of Oxiteno Andina, C.A. (“Oxiteno Andina”) was adjusted by the Venezuelan Consumer Price Index.

On May 19, 2017, the Venezuelan Central Bank issued Foreign Exchange Regulation No. 38, altering the Venezuelan foreign exchange markets and regulating the legally recognized types of exchange rates:

a) DIPRO - Tipo de Cambio Protegido (Exchange Protected): Bolivar (“VEF”) is traded at an exchange rate of 9.975 VEF/US$ for purchase and 10.00 VEF/US$ for sale. This rate is applied to importation of essential goods (medicines and food) and raw materials and inputs related to the production of these sectors, which transactions are channeled through CENCOEX - Centro Nacional de Comercio Exterior en Venezuela;

b) DICOM - Tipo de Cambio Complementario Flotante de Mercado Supplemental (Floating Market Exchange): Bolivar was traded at the variable exchange rate of 3,345.00 VEF/US$ for sale and 3,336.64 VEF/US$ for purchase in the last auction of 2017. This rate is applied to all unforeseen currency settlement transactions not expressly set forth in the Foreign Exchange Regulation, which transactions are processed through alternative currency markets.

Due to the political and economic situation in Venezuela, the Company’s management uses the DICOM exchange rate in the translation.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais, unless otherwise stated)

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 end of the reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial income or loss. The gain recognized in income in 2017 amounted to R$ 7,368 (R$ 3,425 gain in 2016).

s. Use of Estimates, Assumptions and Judgments

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments for the accounting of certain assets, liabilities, and income. Therefore, the Company’s and subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the time of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The financial statements therefore include estimates, assumptions, and judgments related mainly to determining the fair value of financial instruments (Notes 2.c, 2.k, 4, 14 and 31), the determination of the allowance for doubtful accounts (Notes 2.d, 5 and 31), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Notes 2.e and 6), the determination of deferred income taxes amounts (Notes 2.l and 9), the determination of control in subsidiaries (Notes 2.f, 2.r, 3 and 11.a), the determination of joint control in joint venture (Notes 2.f, 11.a and 11.b), the determination of significant influence in associates (Notes 2.f and 11.c), the determination of exchange rate used to translation of Oxiteno Andina’ information (Note 2.r), the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment (Notes 2.g and 12), the useful lives of intangible assets, and the determination of the recoverable amount of goodwill (Notes 2.i and 13), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Notes 2.m and 19), provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks (Notes 2.n and 20), estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Notes 2.o and 18.b) and the determination of fair value of subscription warrants – indemnification (Notes 22 and 31). The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from their estimates.

t. Impairment of Assets

The Company and its subsidiaries review, at least annually, the existence of any indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication, 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 flow 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 of disposal 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 Company and its subsidiaries consider the projections of future cash flows, trends, and outlooks, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. 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 in the present year (see Note 13.i). As of December 31, 2016, the Company recognized an impairment loss in the amount of R$ 2,114, which correspond to R$ 1,695 related to goodwill and R$ 419 related to other intangible assets, from subsidiary Oxiteno Andina.

u. Adjustment to Present Value

The Company and its subsidiaries reviewed all items classified as non-current and, when relevant, current assets and liabilities. No recognition of present value adjustments that would have relevant effects were identified.

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 is measured based on its interest in identifiable net assets acquired. 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 income statement. Costs related to the acquisition are recorded in the income statement when incurred.

w. Statements of Value Added

As required by Brazilian Corporate Law, the Company and its subsidiaries prepare the individual and consolidated statements of value added (“DVA”) according to CPC 09 – Statement of Value Added, as an integral part of the financial statements as applicable to publicly-traded companies, and as supplemental information for IFRS, which does not require the presentation of DVA.

x. Statements of Cash Flows Indirect Method

The Company and its subsidiaries prepared its individual and consolidated statements of cash flows in accordance with IAS 7 (CPC 03) - Cash Flow Statement. The Company and its subsidiaries present the interest paid on loans and debentures in financing activities. The Company and its subsidiaries present financial investments on a net basis of income in the investment activities.

y. Adoption of the Pronouncements Issued by CPC and IFRS

The following standards, amendments, and interpretations to IFRS were issued by the IASB but are not yet effective and were not adopted as of December 31, 2017:

	Equivalent CPC	Effective date
• IFRS 9 – Financial instrument classification and measurement: includes new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities, derecognition requirements, new impairment methodology for financial instruments, and new hedge accounting guidance.	48	2018
• IFRS 15 - Revenue from contracts with customers: establish the principles of nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from a contract with a customer.	47	2018
• IFRS 16 - Lease: requires lessees record, in the financial statements, a liability reflecting future payments of a lease and the right to use an asset for the lease contracts, except for certain short-term leases and low asset value contracts. The criteria for recognition and measurement of leases in the financial statements of lessors are substantially maintained.	06 (R2)	2019

The Company and its subsidiaries did not adopt in advance these IFRS/CPC in their financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The Company and its subsidiaries disclosed the relevant information, known or reasonably estimated to the possible impacts on the adoption of IFRS 9 (CPC 48) and 15 (CPC 47) that were available in the preparation of these financial statements, and are subject to change until the first complete financial statements with the initial adoption are disclosed in 2018.

(1) IFRS 9 adoption (CPC 48) - Financial instruments:

a) Classification and measurement of financial instruments:

The Company and its subsidiaries evaluated the classification and measurement of financial instruments and, based on its business model, preliminarily concluded that the target is achieved, receiving contractual cash flows and selling financial assets (hold for collect and sell). Accordingly, most part of the financial investments will be classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, except for funds that will be classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial investments given as collateral for loans that will be classified as amortized cost.

The Company and its subsidiaries do not expect material impacts resulting from these changes.

b) Expected credit losses

The Company and its subsidiaries assessed the expected credit losses on trade receivables, taking into account, at the initial recognition of the contract, the expected losses for the next 12 months and for the useful life of the contract when the deterioration or improvement of customers' credit quality.

The Company and its subsidiaries evaluated the impact of this change and the previously amount indicates an additional allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of R$ 156,905, which effect of R$ 104,153 recognized in the opening balance in the retained earnings. The deferred IRPJ and CSLL effect will be recognized on the amounts above.

c) Derivative financial instruments

The Company and its subsidiaries have not identified impacts arising from this change and are evaluating the adoption of IFRS 9 or the permanence of the application of IAS 39.

The Company and its subsidiaries are evaluating the practical implementation from the initial adoption of IFRS 9 to conclude whether the retrospective or prospective adoption will be made.

(2) IFRS 15 adoption (CPC 47) - Revenue recognition from contracts with customers:

The Company and its subsidiaries evaluated all the stages for the recognition of their revenues from contracts with customers and based on their diagnosis did not identify material measurement impacts resulting from the adoption of this standard.

In relation to the presentation in the income statement, the Company and its subsidiaries evaluated that certain expenses, allocated as selling and marketing, will be better presented as a reduction of revenue, substantially in relation to the amortization of exclusive contracts to operate Ipiranga service station. In 2017 the amortization recognized as selling and marketing expenses was R$ 463,049.

The Company and its subsidiaries are evaluating the practical implementation of the initial adoption of IFRS 15 to conclude whether the retrospective or prospective adoption will be made.

The table below summarizes the possible impacts of the IFRS 9 (CPC 48) and 15 (CPC 47) adoption:

As of December 31, 2017

3. Principles of Consolidation, Investments in Subsidiaries and Acquisition Under Approval

a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements were prepared following the basic principles of consolidation established by IFRS 10 (CPC 36 (R3)). 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 shareholders’ 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 income statement and other 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 income statement and other 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.

c) Conclusion of the association with Chevron Brasil Lubrificantes S.A.

On August 4, 2016, the Company through its subsidiary Ipiranga Produtos de Petróleo S.A. (“IPP”) entered into an association agreement with Chevron Brasil Lubrificantes Ltda. (“Chevron”) to create a new company in the lubricants market. Under this agreement, the association will be formed by Ipiranga’s and Chevron’s lubricants operations in Brazil. Ipiranga and Chevron will hold 56% and 44%, respectively, of the new company’s capital. On February 9, 2017, this transaction was approved without restrictions through an opinion issued by the General Superintendence (“SG”) of the Brazilian Antitrust Authority (“CADE”). The decision of the SG was published in the Brazilian Federal Official Gazette on February 10, 2017. On March 2, 2017, CADE issued a certificate approving the decision published on February 10, 2017. On August 1, 2017, IPP segregated the lubricants business to the subsidiary Ipiranga Lubrificantes S.A. (“IpiLubs”) and the operating contracts were signed. On December 1, 2017, the association was concluded, through the contribution of IpiLubs to Chevron Brasil Lubrificantes S.A. (“CBLSA”) and consequently IPP obtains direct control of CBLSA.

The Company is measuring the open balance, fair value of assets and liabilities, and, consequently, the goodwill. The purchase price allocation is being determined and its conclusion is estimated for the fourth quarter of 2018. During the process of identification of assets and liabilities, intangible assets, which are not recognized in the acquired entity’s books, will also be taken into account. The Company, supported by a third party company specialized in valuations, estimated the temporary amount for the purchase price allocation and calculated the temporary goodwill in the amount of R$ 123,673. The temporary goodwill is based on the synergy between the lubricant operations of CBLSA and IpiLubs.

The table below summarizes the temporary assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, subject to the customary final adjustments of purchase price allocation and calculation of goodwill:

Current assets		Current liabilities
Cash and cash equivalents	73,316	Trade payables	33,453

d) Acquisition Under Approval

On November 17, 2016, the Company through its subsidiary Companhia Ultragaz S.A. (“Cia Ultragaz”), entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Liquigás Distribuidora S.A (“Liquigás”). The total transaction amount is R$ 2,665 million and will be adjusted by the Interbank Certificate of Deposit (“CDI”), between the execution date and transaction closing date. The amount will still be subject to adjustments related to the variations in Liquigás’ working capital and net debt between December 31, 2015 and the closing date of the transaction. On January 23, 2017, the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting (“EGM”) of Ultrapar approved the transaction. The closing of the acquisition is subject to certain usual conditions precedent in transactions of similar nature, mainly the approval by CADE. In the event the acquisition is not approved CADE, the agreement shall be terminated, and a compensatory fine of 10% of base acquisition price shall apply, increased by Liquigás’ net debt on December 31, 2015, defined in the agreement (that is, a fine of R$ 286,160), payable by the subsidiary Cia. Ultragaz in favor of Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. – Petrobras (“Petrobras).

e) Unrealized Acquisition

On June 12, 2016, the Company through its subsidiary IPP entered into a sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 100% of Alesat Combustíveis S.A. (“ALE”) and the assets comprising its operations. The total transaction amount was R$ 2,168 million, which would be reduced by ALE’s net debt as of December 31, 2015 and is subject to working capital and net debt adjustments on the closing date of the transaction. On August 3, 2016, the EGM of Ultrapar approved the transaction. The closing of the acquisition was subject to certain usual conditions precedent in transactions of similar nature, mainly the approval by CADE. On August 2, 2017, the Court of Appeals of CADE voted the transaction and despite all the efforts endeavored by the applicants throughout the analysis of the Concentration Act and the negotiations conducted with the Court of Appeals, the Court blocked the transaction. The contract is automatically resolved without any penalty from either party.

c. Deferred Stock Plan (Consolidated)

On April 27, 2001, the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting (“OEGM”) approved a benefit plan to members of management and employees in executive positions in the Company and its subsidiaries. On November 26, 2003, the EGM approved certain amendments to the original plan of 2001 (the “Deferred Stock Plan”). In the Deferred Stock Plan, certain members of management of the Company and its subsidiaries have the usufruct of voting and economic rights of shares and the ownership of these shares is retained by the subsidiaries of the Company. The Deferred Stock Plan provides for the transfer of the 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 total number of shares to be used for the Deferred Stock Plan is subject to the availability in treasury of such shares. It is incumbent on Ultrapar’s executive officers to select the members of management eligible for the plan and propose the number of shares in each case for approval by the Board of Directors. The fair value of the awards were determined on the grant date based on the market value of the shares on the B3 S.A. – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”), the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange and the amounts are amortized between five and seven years from the grant date.

Interest on equity (iv)	(550)	(364)	(550)	(364)
Other adjustments	25	15	1,104	7,108
Income and social contribution taxes before tax incentives	2,599	8,403	(888,027)	(798,904)

Tax incentives - SUDENE	-	-	48,598	98,912
Income and social contribution taxes in the income statement	2,599	8,403	(839,429)	(699,992)

Current	(4,098)	(5,379)	(922,458)	(800,497)
Deferred	6,697	13,782	83,029	100,505

Effective IRPJ and CSLL rates - %	20.8	32.0	35.0	30.9

(i)		Nondeductible expenses 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)		Nontaxable revenues 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; and

(iv)		Interest on equity is an option foreseen in Brazilian corporate law to distribute profits to shareholders, calculated based on the long-term interest rate (“TJLP”), which does not affect the income statement, but is deductible for purposes of IRPJ and CSLL, being taxable to the beneficiary and deductible to the entity that pays.

i) The net remaining balance of the goodwill is tested annually for impairment and presents the following balances:

Goodwill on the acquisition of:
Extrafarma	Extrafarma	661,553	661,553

Others	Oxiteno	583	583
		1,578,157	1,454,484

⁽¹⁾ Including R$ 246,163 in the parent.

On December 31, 2017, 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:

Period of evaluation: the evaluation of the value in use is calculated for a period of five years (except the Extrafarma segment), after which we calculate the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely. For the Extrafarma segment, a period of 10 years was used due to its expansion plan and considering a four-years period to maturity of new stores.

Discount and real growth rates: on December 31, 2017, the discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections ranged from 9.6% to 12.7% and from 0% to 1% p.a., respectively, depending on the CGU analyzed. For the subsidiary Oxiteno Andina, due to the macroeconomic scenario in Venezuela, the discount rate used was 803.8%.

Revenue from sales and services, costs and expenses, and gross margin: for 2018, the budget prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors was considered. In subsequent periods, the Company considers the forecast of the general inflation or price index predicted in the contracts.

Opening of new commercial points (investments): for 2018, the budget prepared by the management and approved by the Board of Directors was considered. In subsequent periods, the Company considers the expansion plans of each business unit, which also considers the commercial establishments closed in the previously years.

The goodwill impairment tests and net assets of the Company and its subsidiaries did not result in the recognition of losses for the year ended December 31, 2017. 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.

ii) Software includes user licenses and costs for the implementation of the various systems used by the Company and its subsidiaries, such as: integrated management and control, financial management, foreign trade, industrial automation, operational and storage management, accounting information, and other systems.

iii) The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste and Oleoquímica Indústria e Comércio de Produtos Químicos Ltda. (“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.

18. 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 0.5% 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 25 years. The sponsoring company does not take responsibility for guaranteeing amounts or the duration of the benefits received by the retired employee. In 2017, the subsidiaries contributed R$ 24,819 (R$ 23,261 in 2016) to Ultraprev, which is recognized as expense in the income statement. The total number of participating employees in 2017 was 8,322 active participants and 245 retired participants. In addition, Ultraprev had 27 former employees receiving benefits under the rules of a previous plan whose reserves are fully constituted.

b. Post-employment Benefits

The subsidiaries recognized a provision for post-employment benefits mainly related to seniority bonus, payment of Government Severance Indemnity Fund (“FGTS”), and health, dental care, and life insurance plan for eligible retirees.

The amounts related to such benefits were determined based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary as of December 31, 2017 and are recognized in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 19 R2011 (CPC 33 R2).

• Mortality Table for the life insurance benefit – CSO-80

• Mortality Table for other benefits - AT 2000 Basic decreased by 10%

• Disabled Mortality Table - RRB 1983

• Disability Table - RRB 1944 modified

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, 2017 were determined based on reasonably possible changes of assumptions occurring at the reporting date of the financial statements, keeping all other assumptions constant.

Assumption	Change in assumptions	Decrease in liability	Change in assumptions	Increase in liability

Discount rate	increase by 1.0 p.p	10,237	decrease by 1.0 p.p	11,690
Wage growth rate	decrease by 1.0 p.p	2,807	increase by 1.0 p.p	3,103
Medical services growth rate	decrease by 1.0 p.p	3,837	increase by 1.0 p.p	4,413

The sensitivity analysis 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.

19. Provision for Asset Retirement Obligation – Fuel Tanks (Consolidated)

The provision corresponds to the legal obligation to remove Ipiranga’s underground fuel tanks located at Ipiranga-branded service stations after a certain use period (see Note 2.m).

Changes in the provision for asset retirement obligation are as follows:

	2017	2016

a.1) Provisions for Tax Matters and Social Security

a.1.1) On October 7, 2005, the subsidiaries Cia. Ultragaz and Bahiana filed for and obtained a preliminary injunction to recognize and offset PIS and COFINS credits on LPG purchases, against other taxes levied by the RFB, notably IRPJ and CSLL. The decision was confirmed by a trial court on May 16, 2008. Under the preliminary injunction, the subsidiaries made escrow deposits for these debits which amounted to R$ 483,485 as of December 31, 2017 (R$ 457,868 as of December 31, 2016). On July 18, 2014, a second instance unfavorable decision was published and the subsidiaries suspended the escrow deposits, and started to pay income taxes from that date. To revert the court decision, the subsidiaries presented a writ of prevention which was dismissed on December 30, 2014, and the subsidiaries appealed this decision on February 3, 2015. Appeals were also presented to the respective higher courts (STJ and STF) whose final trial are pending.

a.1.2) The subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A., Oxiteno Nordeste, Cia. Ultragaz, Tequimar, Tropical Transportes Ipiranga Ltda., EMCA, IPP and Extrafarma filed for a preliminary injunction seeking the deduction of ICMS from their PIS and COFINS tax bases. On March 15, 2017, in a decision with general repercussion, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) decided that the ICMS does not make up the calculation of PIS and COFINS tax bases. Therefore, supported by its legal advisors, on March 31, 2017, Oxiteno Nordeste and IPP reversed the provision in the amount of R$ 109,463 in 2017.

The Company emphasizes that it is possible for the STF to restrict the effects of the judgment or to decide that the effectiveness will be reached after its final decision or other time that may be fixed. Despite the favorable context, until there is effective final decision, the causes may be reassessed, which could result in the recognition of new provisions in the future.

a.2) Provisions for Civil, Environmental and Regulatory Claims

a.2.1) The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions for lawsuits and administrative proceedings, mainly derived from contracts entered into with customers and former services providers, as well as proceedings related to environmental and regulatory issues in the amount of R$ 89,296 as of December 31, 2017 (R$ 69,350 as of December 31, 2016).

a.3) Provisions for Labor Matters

a.3.1) The Company and its subsidiaries maintained provisions of R$ 82,425 as of December 31, 2017 (R$ 65,162 as of December 31, 2016) for labor litigation filed by former employees and by employees of our service providers mainly contesting the non-payment of labor rights.

b. Contingent Liabilities (Possible)

The Company and its subsidiaries have other pending administrative and legal proceedings of tax, civil, environmental, regulatory, and labor nature, which are individually less relevant, and were estimated by their legal counsel as having possible or remote risks (proceedings whose chance of loss is 50% or less). As such, the related potential losses were not provided for by the Company and its subsidiaries based on these opinions. The Company and its subsidiaries are also litigating for recovery of taxes and contributions, which were not recognized in the financial statements due to their contingent nature. The estimated amount of this contingency is R$ 2,576,583 as of December 31. 2017 (R$ 2,252,637 as of December 31, 2016).

b.1) Contingent Liabilities for Tax Matters and Social Security

b.1.2) The subsidiary IPP and its subsidiaries have legal proceedings related to ICMS. The total amount involved in these proceedings, was R$ 618,774 as of December 31, 2017 (R$ 626,393 as of December 31, 2016). Such proceedings arise mostly of the disregard of ICMS credits amounting to R$ 307,255 (R$ 283,367 as of December 31, 2016), of which R$ 121,891 (R$ 113,889 as of December 31, 2016) refer to proportional reversal requirement of ICMS credits related to the acquisition of hydrated alcohol; of alleged non-payment in the amount of R$ 113,999 (R$ 108,786 as of December 31, 2016); and inventory differences in the amount of R$ 149,171 (R$ 147,031 as of December 31, 2016) related to the leftovers or faults due to temperature changes or product handling.

Management assessed the likelihood of the tax assessment, supported by the opinion of its legal advisors, as “possible”, and therefore did not recognize a provision for this contingent 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 around the city of Belo Horizonte, State of Minas Gerais. As of December 31, 2017, as a result of these administrative proceedings, no fine had been imposed to the subsidiary.

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 2^nd, 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 is negotiating an agreement with the MPE and the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor (“MPF”), and currently there is no civil lawsuit filed on the matter. The negotiations relate to in natura repair of the any damages. In case of satisfactory conclusion of the negotiations with the MPE and MPF, the payments related to the project costs may affect the future Company’s financial statements. In addition, the MPF denounced the subsidiary Tequimar in the criminal sphere, which shall wait for the court summons in order to take the necessary measures for its defense.

In the same year, a collective labor dispute was also filed by the Union of Employers (SINPEQ) against Sindiquímica, requiring the recognition of the loss of effectiveness of such fourth section. The decisions rendered on the individual claims which were favorable to the subsidiaries Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA are final and unappealable. The collective labor dispute remains pending trial by STF. In 2010, some companies in the Camaçari Petrochemical Complex signed an agreement with Sindiquímica and reported the fact in the collective labor dispute. In October 2015, Sindiquímica filed enforcement lawsuits against all Camaçari Petrochemical Complex companies that have not yet made settlements, including Oxiteno Nordeste and EMCA.

Under Brazilian Corporate Law, the Company is required to appropriate 5% of net annual earnings to a legal reserve, until the balance reaches 20% of capital stock. This reserve may be used to increase capital or absorb losses, but may not be distributed as dividends.

Retention of Profits

Reserve recognized in previous fiscal years and used for investments contemplated in a capital budget, mainly for expansion, productivity, and quality, acquisitions and new investments, in accordance with Article 196 of Brazilian Corporate Law. In compliance with Article 199 of the Brazilian Corporate Law, on April 19, 2017 the OEGM deliberated the excess of the profit reserves in relation to share capital, increasing the share capital in the amount of R$ 1,333,066, related to the retained earnings reserve.

Investments Reserve

In compliance with Article 194 of the Brazilian Corporate Law and Article 55.c) of the Bylaws this reserve is aimed to protect the integrity of the Company’s assets and to supplement its capital stock, in order to allow new investments to be made. As provided in its Bylaws, the Company may allocate up to 45% of net income to the investments reserve, up to the limit of 100% of the share capital.

The investments reserve is free of distribution restrictions and totaled R$ 3,130,935 as of December 31, 2017.

g. Valuation adjustments and Cumulative translation adjustments

Valuation Adjustments

Actuarial gains and losses relating to post-employment benefits, calculated based on a valuation conducted by an independent actuary, are recognized in shareholders’ equity under the title “valuation adjustments”. Actuarial gains and losses recorded in equity are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Gains and losses on the hedging instruments of exchange rate related to firm commitment and highly probable transactions designated as cash flows hedges are recorded in shareholders’ equity as “valuation adjustments”. Gains and losses are reclassified to initial cost of non-financial assets.

The Company recognizes in this item the effect of changes in the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control. This amount corresponds to the difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interest was adjusted and the fair value of the consideration received or paid and represents a transaction with shareholders.

Cumulative Translation Adjustments

The change in exchange rates on assets, liabilities, and income of foreign subsidiaries that have (i) functional currency other than the presentation currency of the Company, (ii) an independent administration and (iii) notes in the foreign market (see Note 31 - net investment hedge in foreign entities), is directly recognized in the shareholders’ equity. This accumulated effect is reflected in profit or loss as a gain or loss only in case of disposal or write-off of the investment.

31. Risks and Financial Instruments (Consolidated)

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 conservative policy for the management of resources, financial instruments, and risks approved by its Board of Directors (“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 risks associated with currencies, interest rates, credit, and selection of financial instruments. Governance of the management of financial risks and financial instruments follows the segregation of duties below:

•	Implementation of the management of financial assets, instruments, and risks is the responsibility of the financial area, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the tax and accounting departments.
•	Supervision and monitoring of compliance with the principles, guidelines, and standards of the Policy is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, which is composed of members of the Company’s Executive Board (“Committee”). The Committee holds regular meetings and is in charge, among other responsibilities, of discussing and monitoring the financial strategies, existing exposures, and significant transactions involving investment, fundraising, or risk mitigation. The Committee monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.
•	Changes in the Policy or revisions of its standards are subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Ultrapar.
•	Continuous improvement of the Policy is the joint responsibility of the Board of Directors, the Committee, and the financial area.
•	The internal audit department audits the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

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 transactional, accounting, and operational risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the assets and liabilities in foreign currency and the short-term flow of net sales in foreign currency of Oxiteno.

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:

Interest Rate Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries adopt conservative 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 CDI, as set forth in Note 4. Borrowings primarily relate to financing from Banco do Brasil, BNDES, and other development agencies, as well as debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in Note 14.

The Company attempts to maintain its financial interest assets and liabilities at floating rates.

The table below shows the financial assets and liabilities exposed to floating interest rates:

Sensitivity Analysis of Floating Interest Rate Risk

The table below shows the incremental expenses and income that would be recognized in financial income in 2017, due to the effect of floating interest rate changes in different scenarios.

For sensitivity analysis of floating interest rate risk, the Company used the accumulated amount of the reference indexes (CDI, TJLP, LIBOR, TIIE and SELIC) as a base scenario up to December 31, 2017. Scenarios I, II and III were based on of 10%, 25% and 50% variation, respectively, in the floating interest rate of the base scenario:

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).

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.

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 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.

Customer credit risk - Such 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.

The Company maintained the following allowances for doubtful accounts on trade receivables:

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 totals R$ 3,809.9 million, including estimated interests on loans (for quantitative information, see Note 14). Furthermore, the investment plan for 2018 totals R$ 2,676 million. As of December 31, 2017, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 6,285.5 million 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, 2017 to be settled 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 as of December 31, 2017.

⁽¹⁾To calculate the estimated interest on loans some macroeconomic assumptions were used, including averaging for the period the following: (i) CDI of 6.76% in 2018, 8.08% from 2019 to 2020, 9.63% from 2021 to 2022, 10.70% from 2023 to 2033, (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 3.37 in 2018, R$ 3.53 in 2019, R$ 3.77 in 2020, R$ 4.05 in 2021, R$ 4.35 in 2022, R$ 4.66 in 2023, R$ 4.99 in 2024, R$ 5.35 in 2025, R$ 5.73 in 2026 and R$ 6.13 in 2027 (iii) TJLP of 6.75% p.a. and (iv) IGP-M of 4.38% in 2018, 4.13% in 2019, 4.0% from 2020 to 2033 (v) IPCA of 3.9% (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 28, 2017 and on the futures curve of LIBOR (ICE - IntercontinentalExchange) on December 29, 2017. In the table above, only the hedging instruments with negative results at the time of settlement were considered.

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 14). 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.

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.

As mentioned in the section “Risk Management and Financial Instruments – Governance”, the Committee monitors compliance with the risk standards established by the Policy through a risk map, including the use of hedging instruments, on a monthly basis. In addition, the internal audit department verifies the compliance with the requirements of the Policy.

Notes to the Individual 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, therefore, the Company believes their fair value corresponds to their carrying value.
•	The subscription warrants – indemnification were 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 22).
•	The fair value calculation of notes in the foreign market (see Note 14.b) is based on the quoted price in an active market.

The fair value of other financial investments and financing 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 December 31, 2017 and 2016. 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 loans and receivables or financial 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, (ii) financial investments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss, (iii) financial investments that are classified as available for sale, which are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (see Note 4), (iv) loans and financing measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 14), (v) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 14.k), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and (vi) subscription warrants – indemnification, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 22). The financial investments classified as held-to-maturity are measured at amortized cost. Cash, banks, and trade receivables are classified as loans and receivables. Trade payables and other payables are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

Fair Value Hierarchy of Financial Instruments

The financial instruments are classified in the following categories:

(a)	Level 1 - prices negotiated (without adjustment) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
(b)	Level 2 - inputs other than prices negotiated in active markets included in Level 1 and observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
(c)	Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability which are not based on observable market variables (unobservable inputs).

Sensitivity Analysis

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, as required by CVM Instruction 475/08, 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, management adopted as a likely scenario the Real/U.S. dollar exchange rates at maturity of each swap, projected by U.S dollar futures contracts quoted on B3 as of December 28, 2017. As a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 5.83 in the likely scenario. Scenarios II and III were estimated with a 25% and 50% additional appreciation or depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the likely 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 29, 2017, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Brazilian Reais and the original balance in Brazilian Reais as of December 29, 2017 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:

	Risk	Scenario I (likely)	Scenario II	Scenario III
Currency swaps receivable in U.S. dollars
(1) U.S. Dollar / Real swaps	Dollar	198,138	690,432	1,182,726
(2) Debts/firm commitments in dollars	appreciation	(198,130)	(690,415)	(1,182,700)
(1)+(2)	Net effect	8	17	26

Currency swaps payable in U.S. dollars
(3) Real / U.S. Dollar swaps	Dollar	(97)	7,486	15,069
(4) Gross margin of Oxiteno	devaluation	97	(7,486)	(15,069)
(3)+(4)	Net effect	-	-	-

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Brazilian Reais, the Company used the futures curve of the DI x Pre contract quoted on B3 as of December 28, 2017 for each of the swap and debt (hedged item) maturities, to determine the likely scenarios. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on a 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the likely 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 result are shown in the table below:

	Risk	Scenario I (likely)	Scenario II	Scenario III
Interest rate swap (in Brazilian Reais) – Debentures - CRA
(1) Fixed rate swap - CDI	Decrease in	13,691	95,292	192,204
(2) Fixed rate debt	Pre-fixed rate	(13,691)	(95,292)	(192,204)
(1) + (2)	Net effect	-	-	-

Not withstanding that, the Brazilian Federal Public Prosecutor denounced the subsidiary Tequimar in the criminal sphere, which shall wait for the court summons in order to take the necessary measures for its defense.

The decommissioning stage of the affected area were completed. In June 2017, the licensing required for the return to operation of 67.5 thousands cubic meters from the total of 150 thousands cubic meters affected by the fire was obtained.

2017 MANAGEMENT REPORT

Dear shareholders,

The management of ULTRAPAR PARTICIPAÇÕES S.A. (Ultrapar) submits to its shareholders its Management Report and the Company’s Financial Statements for 2017. The information is accompanied by the unqualified independent audit report, which Management has discussed and reviewed.

Corporate Profile

Ultrapar is a multi-business company with 80 years of history and currently holds significant positions in the five segments in which it operates. It shows great capillarity and nationwide coverage across Brazil in distribution and specialized retail through Ipiranga, in the fuels segment; Ultragaz, in the liquefied petroleum gas – LPG segment; and, through Extrafarma, with drugstore retail operations in Brazil‘s North, Northeast and Southeast regions. The Company also stands out in the specialty chemicals industry through Oxiteno, a Latin-American leader; and in bulk liquids storage through Ultracargo, present in six Brazilian ports.

Ultrapar’s stock has been trading since 1999 in the New York Stock Exchange – NYSE with Level III ADRs and in the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão-B3), having joined the Novo Mercado in 2011.

Message from Management 2017

Over the course of 80 years, and with recognized planning, investment and execution capabilities, Ultra has built an important legacy that took it from a family business that pioneered LPG distribution to one of the largest companies in Brazil with resilient and well-structured businesses.

Ultra’s longevity is the outcome of a management model devised with value creation in mind, using practices that aim at engaging employees, charm customers, foster market innovation, pursue operational excellence, operate ethically before all stakeholders, align interests, and apply high corporate-governance standards. Our confidence in this model has kept us focused on our long-term objectives, even in another challenging year as 2017.

After two years in a deep recession, 2017 was marked by a transition from an unprecedented crisis in Brazil and the beginning of the country’s economic recovery, a shift characterized by the period’s low inflation, which, in its turn, allowed the basic interest rate reduction. Despite being incipient, the improving economic scenario recently enabled unemployment rates to stabilize and the population’s average income to increase. As a consequence, the consumer confidence index – which attempts to measure how consumers feel about the economy overall and their personal finances – began to improve as well.

Besides the transitioning economic scenario, our operational scenario also experienced important changes and events. This required us to be flexible and react fast to continue to follow our plans. The CADE’s (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) decision against the purchase of ALESAT, for example, led us to review our investments over the course of 2017. Our teams’ promptness enabled us to execute bigger investments than originally planned, at R$ 2.3 billion in 2017, a record annual amount invested by Ultra. Another important change was the new oil derivatives pricing model in our country, which strengthens the industry in general and is based on international benchmarks, with constant price changes at refineries. The new dynamics also brought forth a different operation mode at Ipiranga and Ultragaz, which reacted quickly to continue to provide quality, distinguished service to their customers and resellers. We continue to target efforts before CADE in pursuit of the approval of the Liquigás acquisition.

Ipiranga maintained the same investment strategy as in previous years, aiming at speeding up the pace of fuel stations and convenience stores additions, strengthening our reseller partners and expanding our distribution infrastructure. We added 442 service stations (592 additions and 150 removals) to our network over the year, and reached yearend 2017 with 8,005 Ipiranga stations. Together with our network expansion and keeping up our differentiation through innovation and convenience, another key aspect of Ipiranga’s strategy, we added 250 new am/pm franchises, 141 Jet Oil units, 179 bakeries, and 116 beer caves, among other initiatives. We intend to increase the number of services and products offered, enhancing the complete service station concept among our consumers’ perception, increasing traffic into service stations and additional value to our resellers.

In an effort to develop projects to enable future growth, we kept up the Oxiteno internationalization strategy, continuing to build the new plant in Pasadena, Texas, in 2017. The unit is set to open in the first half of 2018 and will allow Oxiteno to compete more effectively in the United States, the world’s biggest market for surfactants. Presence in this market is also strategic due to its attractive raw-materials and infrastructure conditions. Together with international expansion, we also evolved on our research, development and innovation activities, adding 29 new products to our portfolio.


2017 MANAGEMENT REPORT

A focus on innovation and operational excellence also proved to be key at Ultragaz. The Company advanced its strategy based on reseller network improvement, service differentiation through technology and information systems support, and the creation of new sales channels. These steps were crucial to address the dynamics of LPG distribution market, which in the second half of 2017 began to follow international benchmarks, with more frequent price variations.

In June 2017, Ultracargo partially resumed activities for the storage capacity that was affected in the 2015 fire in the Santos terminal, with the return to operations of 67.5 thousand cubic meters in capacity. Besides that, Ultra also posted improved operational indicators, as strong volumes of fuels handling at ports persisted in 2017. Diligent, transparent and responsible action in the face of the event’s consequences was used as a learning experience and as a knowledge base for reinforced investment in continued safety improvements at other terminals.

After the new release of the Extrafarma brand in the previous year, with a positioning that underscores the attributes of reliability and a close relationship with customers, we increased the pace of network expansion with the new store model, and opened 100 new stores throughout 2017. We concentrated our expansion in the North and Northeast regions, where we are market leaders in the states of Pará, Maranhão and Amapá. We also increased our presence in the states of Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte and Piauí, and started or expanded operations in Pernambuco, Bahia, Paraíba, Tocantins and Sergipe. In 2017, we also expanded our operation to the state of São Paulo, where we opened 22 stores and are already reaping the benefits of consumer perception of our network. We reached yearend with 394 stores and presence in 12 states.

Ultra’s value-generation virtuous cycle, driven by culture, people and organization, is the secret behind the successful track record of investments and results over the past 80 years. We reaffirm our commitment to our stakeholders. We will continue to pursue our strategy responsibly, serving our customers with passion, innovating continuously, and investing with discipline and planning to enable future growth.

Socioenvironmental philosophy, innovation and operational excellence

Ultrapar values the business ethics, citizenship culture, and excellence in health, safety and environmental standards. Sustainability has been one of the fundamentals of the Company’s corporate culture.

Ultra’s Sustainability Model includes five pillars – Safety, Environment, People, Products and Services, and Value Chain, which break down into 28 performance and management indicators, together with corporate sustainability guidelines. Due to the peculiarities of each market in which we operate, our businesses maintain individual socioenvironmental action policies. As a part of this ongoing effort to improve sustainability actions, we joined B3’s Carbon-Efficient Index Portfolio (ICO2). Once again, we took part, as we have been doing for years, of the survey held by the Carbon Disclosure Program (CDP), an international organization that encourages and provides a global system for companies and cities to measure, publish, manage and share environmental information. Also in 2017, the Exame Sustainability Guide recognized Ultra for its Ethics and Compliance Program, which uses films and training programs to engage through emotional content and influence employee’s decisions and behavior. Also on this front, the corporate movie “8 de Outubro” won awards in three categories in the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards, the world’s biggest corporate film festival.

People

As one of the elements that maintains Ultra’s value creation virtuous cycle tripod, human capital is the essence that forms Ultra’s dynamic and enterprising element. Growth and value creation are a two-way path where engagement, collaboration and integration have a marked impact on productivity, profitability, the level of service provided to customers, and the Company’s reputation, image and competitiveness, thereby driving Ultra’s growth, as well as its employees’ professional growth. Ultra’s multi-business model and structure, with a culture that fosters the development of employees and leaders, ends up serving as a talent pool, allowing people to move across different areas and businesses. In 2017, more than 1,000 employees were internally transferred, and we added 1,275 direct jobs.


2017 MANAGEMENT REPORT

Two principles that sustain this employees’ professional growth two-way are Ultra’s investment in the development of new skills and the constant search for talent. In this sense, approximately 335 young employees took part in young professionals, internship and trainee programs in 2017, when we invested in approximately 400 thousand hours of training for our employees.

Customers, resellers and suppliers

Another element is Ultra’s culture, which, in addition to constantly pursuing innovation, has always stood out for its customer service excellence, striving ethically for the best results, a characteristic that also drives our relationships with our extensive suppliers and resellers network.

Ipiranga is known for its innovation- and convenience-based approach to differentiation, offering comfort and solutions to customers who, in addition to filling up their tanks, may also rely on oil-change services at Jet Oil network, and meet basic shopping needs at our convenience-store network am/pm. Under the new concept, the latter now meets the needs of the neighborhood, with bakeries, mini-markets, groceries, and fast meals. All of these services generate points under Km de Vantagens, the biggest loyalty program in Brazil, which give access to a wide benefit program, including, airline tickets, tickets for concerts and movie theaters and discounts in fuel puchases, among a wide and growing basket of benefits. In 2017 Ipiranga launched Octapro, a high-octane gas that features a combination of cutting-edge additives and, among other benefits, helps engines reach their top power and improves drivability.

Innovation is the recipe for Oxiteno’s growth, with focus on specific solutions for each customer to improve their final products’ performance, causing the least socioenvironmental impact. Oxiteno has invested R$ 53 million in research and development in 2017.

Despite its maturity, the LPG market is quite dynamic and requires Ultragaz, the segment leader, to constantly reinvent itself. With frequent training programs for our resellers network, we strive to maximize customer satisfaction and loyalty. We use data combination and analysis to build closer ties with our resellers and end consumers, to which we offer new forms of relationship and customized service offerings, in addition to more convenient ways to order, receive and pay for their LPG.

Ultracargo’s history is marked by the Company’s transformation, borne out of a need for specialized logistics for hazardous products. Seeking to adjust to its customers’ needs, the Company has evolved into a port logistics operator and, in 2017, benefiting from a more intense flow of chemicals and fuels, as a reflection of the beginning of the economic recovery, as well as of fuels markets dynamics.

Through the new release of the Extrafarma brand, under a new store model that is more appealing to customers, revised categories, with a wider and more easily viewed selection of merchandise and, a new promotional model, we aimed at drawing closer to our customers. Thus, we provided a differentiated shopping experience and increased the pace of store openings, thereby expanding the network’s capillarity. The Clube Extrafarma loyalty program continues to grow and had over 6.5 million participating customers by the end of 2017.

Capital Markets

Ultrapar’s shares trade on B3 and reached yearend 2017 at R$ 75.00, a 10% appreciation in the period. Ultrapar declared R$ 951 million in dividends in 2017, up 5% from the previous year. This amounts to a dividend yield of 2.4% on the average price of the stock in 2017.	Capital Markets

Relationship with Independent Auditors

Ultrapar’s and its subsidiaries’ independent audit hiring policies are intended to guarantee the absence of conflicts of interests and of any loss of Independence or objectivity, as reflected in the principles that preserve auditors’ independence.

In the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2017, Ultrapar and its subsidiaries did not hire its independent auditors for any activities not directly related to financial statement audits. The total amount of the independent auditors’ fees in connection with 2017 financial statement audit services was R$ 5.9 million.

KPMG started providing external audit services to Ultrapar in 2017.


2017 MANAGEMENT REPORT

2017 FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

Economic and operational environment

After two difficult years in deep recession, Brazilian GDP started 2017 in a downward trend, with gradual recovery of the economic activity throughout the year. The early expectations on the economy resumption were gradually confirmed by an increase in real average income and stable unemployment rates. The beginning of the economic situation upturn allowed continued reduction of the basic interest rate, which dropped from 13.75% at yearend 2016 to 7.00% in 2017. The average price of the US Dollar relative to the Brazilian Real in 2017 was R$ 3.19 vis-à-vis R$ 3.49 in 2016, a 9% drop. After four years of decreasing indicators, the number of light vehicles registered resumed growth and reached 2.2 million units, up 9% from 2016. The decision of OPEC members to reduce oil production until November 2018 influenced the international oil price, which was US$ 57/barrel (Brent) when 2017 began and reached yearend at US$ 67/barrel, up 18%. In the petrochemical Market, ABIQUIM data show a 6% increase in National Apparent Consumption in 2017. As for pharmaceuticals retailing, Abrafarma data show 9% bigger gross revenue in 2017.

Ipiranga

Ipiranga’s sales volume remained stable compared to total sales in 2016 with a decrease in volume in the first half of the year and increasing volume in the second half. Despite the increase in fuel prices over the course of the year, the volume of light-vehicle fuels sold (Otto cycle) was up 1%, impacted by fleet expansion. In line with the economy’s performance, the volume of Diesel only began to increase in the second half, and reached yearend at an accumulated reduction of 2%.

Despite stable sales volumes, Ipiranga’s net revenues were up 2%, in line with the costs, due mainly (i) to shifts in diesel and gasoline prices, which, are now more frequently adjusted to reflect international benchmark prices, (ii) to the increase in fuels’ taxes (PIS/Cofins) in June 2017, (iii) to the greater share of gasoline in the 2017 sales breakdown, and (iv) the strategy of constant fueling station services and convenience innovation, generating improved customer satisfaction and loyalty.

The cost of goods sold was up 2%, due mainly to shifts in the costs of diesel and gasoline and to the increase in fuels’ taxes (PIS/Cofins) in June 2017.

General, administrative and sales expenses were up 8% due (i) increase in unit freight, (ii) higher expenses with projects and strategic initiatives, particularly those connected with the association with Chevron for lubricants, and (iii) expansion of the service stations and franchises networks.

Ipiranga’s 2017 EBITDA was R$ 3,137 million, up 2% from 2016, in line with the revenues growth due mainly (i) to the strategy of constant services and convenience innovation at service stations, and (ii) improved sales breakdown with a bigger share of gasoline in the mix.

Ipiranga invested R$ 1,336 million, with nearly 50% in the expansion of its network (branding unbranded stations, opening new stations, and new customers) and am/pm and Jet Oil franchises, and the remaining 50% in logistics bases, contracts renewals and maintenance. Out of Ipiranga’s total investments, R$ 1,060 million concern fixed assets and additions to intangible assets, and R$ 277 million concern financing to customers net of repayments.

Oxiteno

In 2017, Oxiteno posted record-breaking sales volume, up 7% from 2016. This came as a result of 16% and 5% increases in the volumes of commodities and specialty chemicals, respectively, reflecting the pre-marketing volume sold to USA due to the new plant in Pasadena, along with bigger growth of internal market than the recovery of Brazil’s economy.

Oxiteno’s net revenues were up 7%, due mainly to the greater sales volume. On the other hand, the average price of the Brazilian Real, up 9%, partly offset these effects.

The cost of goods sold was up 15% in 2017 due (i) to the greater sales volume, (ii) costs associated with the lengthy stoppage of the Oleoquímica plant, and (iii) higher pre-operational costs at the new Pasadena plant, partially compensated by a stronger Brazilian Real.

General, administrative and sales expenses were up 8% due to higher freight expenses, because of the greater volume sold and pre-operating expenses at the new Pasadena plant.

Oxiteno’s 2017 EBITDA was R$ 295 million, down 36% from 2016 despite the increase in total volumes. The reduction is due mainly (i) to the R$ 0.30/US$ appreciation of the average price of the Brazilian Real in 2017, (ii) higher volatility of certain raw materials prices, (iii) the lengthy stoppage of the Oleoquímica plant, and (iv) pre-operational costs at the new Pasadena plant.

Oxiteno invested a total of R$ 463 million in 2017, mostly in maintenance of its production units and the construction of the new US plant.


2017 MANAGEMENT REPORT

Ultragaz

Ultragaz’s total sales volume was down 1% in 2017. Despite the stable sales volume in the bottled segment, due to investments to add new resellers, the bulk segment posted a 3% reduction, explained by the loss of some customers to natural gas.

Ultragaz’s net revenues were up 13% in 2017, due mainly (i) to the higher cost of bottled and bulk LPG at refineries, which now follow international benchmark prices, (ii) the bigger sales volume of bottled LPG as a result of new commercial initiatives to capture new customers and resellers, and (iii) the differentiation and innovation strategy. The lower share of bulk gas in sales partly offset the revenues growth.

The cost of goods sold was up 14%, due mainly to the higher cost of LPG at refineries.

As result of initiatives to reduce expenses, general, administrative and sales expenses growth was lower than the period’s inflation, increasing by 2% in 2017.

The “Other operating income” line reached yearend 2017 with net expenses of R$ 79 million, from R$ 4 million in net revenues in 2016. In 2017, Ultragaz registered R$ 84 million in expenses associated with an one-off contingency related to the signing of a Cease and Desist Agreement (“Termo de Compromisso de Cessação de Prática”) that put an end to proceedings before anti-trust authority CADE.

Ultragaz's EBITDA was R$ 453 million, up 1% from 2016 as a result of costs and expenses cutting initiatives, as well as commercial actions intended to capture new customers and resellers, and of the differentiation and innovation strategy. If the above-mentioned R$ 84 million contingency expense is not considered, Ultragaz EBITDA posted a 20% growth.

Ultragaz invested R$ 215 million mainly in the bulk segment, in bottles replacement and acquisition, and bottling bases maintenance.

Ultracargo

Total average storage at Ultracargo was up 8% due mainly to the increased fuels handling at the Santos, Suape and Itaqui terminals, reflecting the partial resumption of activities and the higher demand for fuels’ handling at Brazilian ports.

Net revenues were up 23% in 2017 due to increased average storage and greater fuels handling, improved productivity at Ultracargo and partially resumed activities in Santos.

The cost of services provided was up 10%, due mainly to higher payroll and materials costs, in line with the greater volume in storage.

General, administrative and sales expenses were up 13% in 2017, due mainly to (i) payroll expenses because of the additional personnel, the annual salaries’ adjustment and higher variable compensation, in line with operating indicators growth, and (ii) higher costs incurred with consultancies and legal advice.

The “Other operating income” line reached yearend 2017 with R$ 37 million in net expenses. In 2016, Ultracargo had R$ 134 million in revenues from fire insurance in addition to fire-linked expenses, leading “Other operating income” to R$ 71 million yearend.

Ultracargo’s EBITDA was down 28% to R$ 124 million in 2017. Excluding the extraordinary events, Ultracargo’s EBITDA would grow by 58%, because of increased volume handling in its terminals.

Ultracargo invested R$ 86 million in 2017, mainly in terminal security systems modernization and infrastructure maintenance at existing terminals.

Extrafarma

Extrafarma opened 100 new stores and closed 21 in 2017, for a 25% expansion (79 stores) of the network.

Extrafarma’s gross revenues were up 18% in 2017 due to 25% increase in retail sales (except for telephony), a result of the bigger average store network and 12% greater same store sales (except for cellular phones sales). The growth was partly offset by a 17% decrease in cellular phones revenues, and lower revenues from the wholesale segment.

The cost of goods sold was up 19% in 2017, due mainly to the greater sales volume and the annual adjustment in medicine prices as authorized by the Medicine Market Regulation Chamber (“Câmara de Regulação do Mercado de Medicamento” – CMED). Gross profits were R$ 592 million, up 17% due to the sales growth.

General, administrative and sales expenses were up 22% in 2017. The increase is due to the 23% greater average number of stores and to non-recurring expenses with the transfer of the distribution center from Belém to Benevides, and indemnities in 1Q17. Excluding the mentioned one-off and the impacts from new stores, expenses grew bellow inflation as consequence of initiatives to increase productivity.

Extrafarma’s EBITDA was R$ 24 million, down 35% from 2016 because of the greater number of maturing stores, which went from 45% of the chain in 2016 to 55% in 2017, and expenses with the transfer of the distribution center to Benevides. The drop was cushioned by strategic and commercial initiatives intended to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

Extrafarma invested R$ 170 million in 2017, mainly in the opening of new stores, information technology systems and remodeling of existing stores.

¹Seasonally adjusted quarterly average.

Ultrapar reported consolidated EBITDA of R$ 1,067 million in 4Q17 (-5%). Net income was R$ 401 million in 4Q17 (-8%).

Ipiranga

Reinforcing the recovery trend seen since the previous quarter, Ipiranga’s volume was up 4% from 4Q16, with 1% growth in the Otto cycle segment and a 6% growth in diesel. This was a result of the increase in new vehicle registrations, the Brazilian economy’s gradual recovery, and the speed up in the expansion of the service station network. In line with volume growth, EBITDA amounted to R$ 895 million, up 4% from 4Q16.

Oxiteno

In another quarter of growing operational performance, Oxiteno’s volume was 201 thousand tons in 4Q17, up 16% year-over-year. In addition to the increased volumes in specialty chemicals and commodities, the preparation for the operational start up of the new plant in Pasadena (US) in 2018 is underway with additional volumes of pre-marketing sales. As a result, Oxiteno’s EBITDA was up 68% from 4Q16 and amounted to R$ 76 million.

Ultragaz

Ultragaz’s volume was down 3% year-over-year, with a decline in the bottled and bulk segments due to the less favorable operating environment, as a result of successive LPG cost variations and increased sales to industrial customers in 4Q16. This quarter, Ultragaz’s EBITDA endured an extraordinary negative effect of R$ 84 million due to the Cease and Desist Agreement entered into with Brazilian Anti-Trust Authority (CADE) in November 2017. Ultragaz’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 52 million, down 58% year-over-year. A similar comparison excluding the extraordinary effects shows Ultragaz’s EBITDA up 11% due to strategic initiatives of differentiation and cost reductions, despite the lower sales volume.

Ultracargo

Ultracargo’s average storage was up 9% from 4Q16, reflecting the business opportunities associated with increased fuel handling and a partial resumption of activities in the Santos terminal in June 2017. Ultracargo’s EBITDA was R$ 37 million in the quarter, down 50% year-over-year due to insurance recoveries in the amount of R$ 74 million in 4Q16. With the exclusion of non-recurring expenses and revenues associated with the Santos incident, EBITDA was up 87%.

Extrafarma

Extrafarma ended 4Q17 with 394 stores, opening 36 new units in the quarter and 100 in the last 12 months. The smaller growth of retail sales, due to the strong comparison basis of the 4Q16 and a less favorable operating environment, combined with the larger number of maturing stores and the concentration of inventory losses in the quarter, led to a R$ 3 million EBITDA, down 77% year-over-year.

¹Starting in Dec/17, total volume includes volume from Iconic, the lubricants JV with Chevron

² Fuel oils, arla 32, kerosene, lubricants and greases

Operational performance – Volume totaled 5,908 thousand m³ in 4Q17 (+4%), reinforcing the recovery trend seen since 3Q17. The Otto cycle’s performance was 1% higher than the 4Q16, a reflection of the growing number of new light-vehicle registrations in the period and of investments in the expansion of the service station network, despite the persistently challenging competitive field and the lower number of working days in 4Q17. Diesel volume was up 6% from 4Q16, the second consecutive quarter of growth, in line with the economy’s gradual recovery and the rise in registrations of diesel-powered vehicles. Compared with 3Q17, volume was down 3%, but up 4% in the Otto cycle, due to seasonality effects between periods. Ipiranga’s total volume was 23,458 thousand m³ for the year, stable compared with 2016.

Net revenues – Total of R$ 18,177 million in 4Q17 (+11%), due mainly (i) to variations in fuel costs, including the increase in PIS/Cofins taxes levied on fuel in July 2017, (ii) increased sales volume and (iii) the strategy of constant innovation in services and convenience at the station, despite the less favorable sales mix in 4Q17. Compared with 3Q17, net revenues were up 5% due to fuel costs variations, mitigated by the smaller sales volume. In 2017, Ipiranga’s net revenues were up 2% from the previous year, at R$ 67,731 million.

Cost of goods sold – Total of R$ 16,926 million in 4Q17 (+12%) due mainly to variations in fuel costs and higher sales volume. The cost of goods sold was up 6% from 3Q17 due to fuel costs variations, mitigated by the lower sales volume. In 2017, the cost of goods sold was R$ 63,003 million, up 2% from 2016.

Sales, general and administrative expenses – Total of R$ 604 million in 4Q17 (+3%), in line with the period’s inflation, due mainly to (i) increased spending on strategic initiatives, especially those associated with Iconic, a lubricants joint venture with Chevron and (ii) higher freight expenses, in line with volume growth. Compared with 3Q17, sales, general and administrative expenses were down 3%, mainly due to lower spending with marketing program and freight expenses as a result of the lower sales volume. Sales, general and administrative expenses were R$ 2,431 million in 2017, up 8% from 2016.

EBITDA – Total of R$ 895 million (+4%), influenced mainly by volume growth. Compared with 3Q17, EBITDA was down 6% due to the lower sales volume, influenced by the seasonality effects in certain segments, and the effects of fuel costs variations, which were partially offset by the lower spending level. Ipiranga posted R$ 3,137 million in EBITDA in 2017, up 2% from 2016.

Investments – A total of R$ 474 million was invested, allocated mainly to service stations and franchises expansion and maintenance. Out of the total amount invested, R$ 348 million were for additions to property, plant and equipment and to intangible assets, and R$ 126 million for the financing of clients, net of repayments. In 2017, a total of R$ 1,336 million was invested, of which R$ 1,060 million were for additions to property, plant and equipment and to intangible assets. Ipiranga ended 2017 with 8,005 service stations (+6%), adding 442 stations in the past 12 months (592 additions and 150 reductions), compared with 333 (453 additions and 120 reductions) added in 2016.

EBITDA (R$ million)	76	45	74	68%	2%	295	459	(36%)

Operational performance – Oxiteno reports 201 thousand tons sold (+16%, or 28 thousand tons). Specialty chemicals sales were up 9% from 4Q16, with 8% growth in the domestic market, notably in the agrochemical and Oil & Gas segments. Outside Brazil, the specialty chemicals volume was up 10% year-over-year, mainly due to pre-marketing for the new Pasadena plant, which is set to start operations in 2018. Commodities were up 69%, reflecting the more favorable prices and products demand scenario, as well as the effects of the scheduled stoppage at the Camaçari petrochemical complex in November 2016. Compared with 3Q17, total sales volume was down 4% (9 thousand tons) due to seasonal effects on specialty chemicals sales, despite the 2% growth in commodities volume. Oxiteno posted total sales of 790 thousand tons in 2017, up 7% from 2016.

Net revenues – Total of R$ 1,130 million (+36%) due to the increased sales volume and a 19% higher average price in US Dollars as a result of the higher costs of certain raw materials year-over-year. The effects were offset by the Real 1% stronger against the US Dollar (R$ 0.05/US$) and the higher share of commodities in the sales mix. Compared with 3Q17, net revenues were up 10% due to the higher costs of certain raw materials and the Real 3% weaker against the US Dollar (R$ 0.08/US$), offset by the lower sales volume. In 2017, total net revenues were R$ 3,958 million, up 7% from the previous year.

Cost of goods sold – Total of R$ 914 million (+38%) due to the higher sales volume and increased raw materials costs year-over-year. These effects were partially offset by the Real being 1% stronger against the US Dollar. Compared with 3Q17, the cost of goods sold was up 11% due to the higher cost of ethylene and the Real 3% weaker against the US Dollar. These effects were partially offset by the lower sales volume. In 2017, the total cost of goods sold was R$ 3,200 million, up 15% from 2016.

Sales, general and administrative expenses – Total of R$ 183 million (+12%) mainly due to higher freight expenses with the increased shipped volume and route composition. Compared with 3Q17, sales, general and administrative expenses were up 6% due to higher sales volume for the pre-marketing in the new US plant and additional expenses for operations start in 2018. In 2017, total sales, general and administrative expenses were R$ 668 million, up 8% from 2016.

EBITDA – Oxiteno’s EBITDA was 76 million (+68%), mainly due to volume growth, despite the Real 1% stronger against the US Dollar. Compared with 3Q17, EBITDA was up 2% due to the exchange rate variation during the period, which was favorable in 4Q17 and unfavorable in 3Q17. This was partially offset by the lower sales volume in the period. In 2017, Oxiteno’s EBITDA amounted to R$ 295 million, down 36% from 2016.

Investments – Oxiteno invested R$ 168 million, mainly allocated to investments in the new alkoxylation plant in the United States, which is set to start operations in 2018, to maintenance of production units and to information systems. Investments totaled R$ 463 million in 2017.

Operational performance – Total sales volume was 426 thousand tons (-3%), with a decline in the bottled and bulk segments. The bulk segment’s volume was down 4% due to the lower LPG market volume, the higher volume sold to industrial clients in 4Q16 and the loss of some customers to natural gas, in addition to the lower number of working days in 4Q17. In the bottled segment, sales volume was down 3% due to the lower number of working days in 4Q17 and the less favorable business environment with LPG costs adjustments. Compared with 3Q17, sales volume was down 8%, with decreases of 7% in the bottled segment and 8% in the bulk segment, due to seasonality effects between periods, with the third quarter being historically stronger. Ultragaz reported 1,746 tons in volume in 2017, down 1% from 2016.

Net revenues – Total of R$ 1,668 million (+21%) due to LPG cost adjustments and Ultragaz’s differentiation and innovation strategy. These effects were offset by the lower sales volume. Compared with 3Q17, net revenues were up 6% as a result of the factors mentioned previously. In 2017, net revenues were up 13% year-over-year and amounted to R$ 6,069 million.

Cost of goods sold – Total of R$ 1,422 million (+25%), mainly due to LPG cost adjustments and mitigated by reduced freight costs with lower sales volume and shorter routes for sourcing products. Compared with 3Q17, the cost of goods sold was up 9% due to LPG adjustments, an effect partially offset by reduced freight expenses as a result of the lower sales volume. In 2017, the total cost of goods sold was R$ 5,096 million, up 14% from 2016.

Sales, general and administrative expenses – Total of R$ 165 million (+3%), in line with the period’s inflation, due to increased legal advice and consultancy services, which were partially offset by reduced freight expenses because of the lower sales volume. Compared with 3Q17, sales, general and administrative expenses were up 2% due to increased marketing-action expenses and variations in provisions for default, which were partially offset by reduced freight expenses in line with the lower sales volume. Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 631 million in 2017, up 2% from 2016, below the inflation in the period.

EBITDA – Total of R$ 52 million (-58%). Ultragaz’s 4Q17 EBITDA was affected by the non-recurring effect of the Cease and Desist Agreement entered into in November 2017 with Brazilian Anti-Trust Authority (CADE). The agreement, in the total amount of R$ 96 million to be paid in eight semester installments, is linked to a case filed in 2009 and has an impact of R$ 84 million on EBITDA and R$ 12 million on financial results. Excluding this non-recurring effect, Ultragaz’s EBITDA was up 11% due to strategic commercial initiatives and costs reduction, which were partially offset by the lower sales volume. Compared with 3Q17, Ultragaz’s EBITDA was down 67%, once again under the non-recurring effect of the agreement with CADE. Ultragaz’s EBITDA was R$ 453 million in 2017, up 1% from 2016 and up 21% excluding the one-off effect mentioned.

Investments – Ultragaz invested R$ 37 million, allocated mainly to the purchase of LPG bottles and base maintenance and modernization. Investments in 2017 amounted R$ 215 million.

EBITDA (R$ million)	37	74	40	(50%)	(8%)	124	171	(28%)

¹Monthly average

Operational performance – Ultracargo’s average storage was up 9% from 4Q16, a product of increased fuels handling in Aratu, Itaqui and Santos and of the partial return to operations in June 2017 of 67.5 thousand m³ out of 151.5 thousand m³ in Santos that had been shut down since the April 2015 incident. Compared with 3Q17, average storage in Ultracargo’s terminals was up 2% due to increased fuels handling in the terminals mentioned above, mitigated by reduced handling in the Suape terminal. In 2017, average storage was up 8% year-over-year.

Net revenues – Total of R$ 119 million in 4Q17 (+23%), due to increased average storage reflecting the partial resumption in Santos as mentioned earlier, with increased fuels handling and higher average prices at all terminals. Compared with 3Q17, net revenues were up 6% due to the increased fuels handling. Total net revenues were R$ 438 million in 2017, up 23% from 2016.

Cost of services provided – Total of R$ 59 million (+10%) due to higher labor-related expenditures, materials and third-party services expenses, reflecting complementary services with the partly resumption in Santos, as well as increased fuels operations in terminals. Compared with 3Q17, the cost of services provided was up 7% due to the factors mentioned above. In 2017, the total cost of services provided was R$ 218 million, 10% higher than in the previous year.

Sales, general and administrative expenses – Total of R$ 32 million (+3%), in line with inflation for the period, mainly due to higher expenses from the partial resumption of activities in Santos. Compared with 3Q17, sales, general and administrative expenses increased by 20%, due mostly to higher expenses with strategic and planning consulting services. In 2017, sales, general and administrative expenses were up 13% from 2016, for a total of R$ 113 million.

Other operating results –The “Other operating results” line reported total net expenses in 4Q17 of R$ 3 million, compared with R$ 52 million in net revenues in 4Q16 and net expenses of R$ 3 million in 3Q17. The amounts for 4Q17 and 3Q17 include expenses associated with the commissioning and licensing of the Santos terminal, whereas the 4Q16 amount includes R$ 74 million in insurance recovery, partially offset by incident-related expenses.

EBITDA – Total of R$ 37 million (-50%) mainly due to insurance recovery associated with the Santos incident in 4Q16 of R$ 74 million. In the same comparison, excluding mainly the non-recurrent effects of expenses and revenues associated with the Santos incident, EBITDA would present a 87% increase from greater average storage, reflecting the terminal’s partial recovery, increased fuels handling, and the higher average prices at all terminals. Compared with 3Q17, EBITDA was down 8% because of increased materials and third-party services expenses, whose effects were partially offset by greater fuels handling in the period. EBITDA was R$ 124 million in 2017, down 28% from 2016. Excluding the non-recurrent effects, EBITDA would present a 58% increase.

Investments –Ultracargo invested R$ 42 million, mainly allocated to expansion of the Itaqui terminal, and maintenance and modernization of safety systems at the port terminals. Investment in 2017 totaled R$ 86 million.

Operational performance – Extrafarma ended 4Q17 with 394 stores (+25%, with 100 openings and 21 closures in the past 12 months). At the end of 4Q17, 55% of stores had been operating for less than three years, compared with 45% in 4Q16, reflecting the accelerated expansion of the drugstore network. Compared with 3Q17, Extrafarma opened 36 new stores (8 closures), with nine openings in São Paulo and seven in Bahia, continuing the network’s penetration in these states.

Gross revenue – Total of R$ 522 million (+13%) due to a 15% increase in retail sales, a product of the greater average number of stores, offset by (i) the strong comparison basis of the 4Q16, when Extrafarma’s retail sales increased 32%, (ii) the declining growth of the market, and (iii) higher promotional activity, especially in new regions. Compared with 3Q17, gross revenue was up 4%, again as a consequence of the greater average number of stores. In 2017, gross revenue was up 18% from 2016, totaling R$ 1,981 million.

Cost of goods sold and gross profit – Cost of goods sold was R$ 342 million (+18%), due mainly to growing sales, the annual adjustment to the prices of medications and the higher concentration of inventory losses in the quarter. Gross profit was R$ 151 million (+6%), due mainly to the period’s greater sales as a consequence of Extrafarma’s accelerated expansion strategy, leading to a higher average number of stores. Compared with 3Q17, the cost of goods sold and gross profit were up 5% and 2%, respectively, due to the same factors mentioned previously. In 2017, the total cost of goods sold was R$ 1,278 million, up 19% from 2016, while gross profit totaled R$ 592 million, 17% greater than in the previous year.

Sales, general and administrative expenses – Total of R$ 164 million (+17%). The increase is the product of the 25% greater average number of stores. Excluding the expenses of new stores, sales, general and administrative expenses were down 6% year-over-year as a result of the initiatives adopted for productivity gains and expenses reduction. Compared with 3Q17, sales, general and administrative expenses were up 5%, due mainly to the greater average number of stores. In 2017, sales, general and administrative expenses were up 22% from 2016, totaling R$ 623 million.

EBITDA – The declining growth of retail sales, in addition to the greater number of maturing stores and the concentration of inventory losses in the quarter, led to R$ 3 million (-77%) in EBITDA. Compared with 3Q17, EBITDA was down 56%, due to the same factors mentioned previously. In 2017, EBITDA totaled R$ 24 million, down 35% compared to the previous year. Excluding the effects of new stores and isolated events reported in 1Q17, EBITDA would have totaled R$ 58 million in 2017, up 56% from 2016.

Investments – Extrafarma invested R$ 69 million, mainly in the opening of 36 new stores and information technology focused on improved shopping experience and operational excellence. Investment in 2017 totaled R$ 170 million.

Net revenues – Total of R$ 21,574 million (+13%) due to revenues growth in every business. Compared with 3Q17, net revenues were up 5%, again due to revenues growth in every business. In 2017, net revenues were up 3% from 2016, totaling R$ 80,007 million.

EBITDA – Total of R$ 1,067 million (-5%) because of Ultragaz’s reduced EBITDA under the non-recurring R$ 84 million effect of the agreement with CADE and Ultracargo’s, whose year-over-year comparison was affected by the R$ 74 million insurance recovery in 4Q16. Compared with 3Q17, EBITDA was down 14%, with a decline in every business except for Oxiteno. Ultrapar’s 2017 EBITDA was R$ 4,064 million, down 4% from the previous year.
