34. Risks and Financial Instruments

a. 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 policy for the management of resources, financial instruments, and risks approved by its CA (“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 market risks (currencies, interest rates and commodities), liquidity and credit. The governance of the management of financial risks follows the segregation of duties below:

The execution of the Policy has done by corporate financial board, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the accounting, legal and tax departments.

The monitoring of compliance of the Policy and possible issues is the responsibility of the Risk and Investment Committee, (“Committee”), which is composed of CFO, Treasury Director, Controller and other directors designated by the CFO. The Committee holds quarterly meetings and monitors the risk standards established by the Policy through a monitoring map on a monthly basis.

Approval of the Policy and the periodic assessment of Company exposure to financial risks are subject to the approval of the CAof Ultrapar.

The Audit and Risks Committee (“CAR”) advises the CA in the assessment of controls, management and exposure of financial risks and revision of Policy. The Risk, Compliance and Audit board monitors of standards compliance of the Policy and reports to the CAR the risks exposure and compliance or noncompliance of the Policy.

b. 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 risks of the Company and its subsidiaries and their exposure to changes in exchange rates. The Company considers as its main currency exposures the changes in 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:

b.1 Assets and Liabilities in Foreign Currencies


In millions of Brazilian Reais	12/31/2019			12/31/2018
Assets in foreign currency
Cash, cash equivalents and financial investments in foreign currency (except hedging instruments)		455.6			254.2
Foreign trade receivables, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and advances to foreign customers		213.5			235.1
Other net assets in foreign (except cash, cash equivalents, financial investments, trade receivables, financing, and payables)		1,445.0			1,384.9

		2,114.1			1,874.2

Liabilities in foreign currency
Financing in foreign currency, gross of transaction costs and discount		(6,895.1	)		(5,515.6	)
Payables arising from imports, net of advances to foreign suppliers		(344.5	)		(567.7	)

		(7,239.6	)		(6,083.3	)

Net asset (liability) position – Income statement effect		452.0			282.7
Net liability position – Equity effect		(1,941.1	)		(2,008.8	)

b.2 Sensitivity Analysis of Assets and Liabilities in Foreign Currency

Scenarios I, II and III were based on 10%, 25% and 50% variations, respectively, applied on the net position of the Company exposed to the currency risk, simulating the effects of appreciation and devaluation of the Real in the income statement and the equity:

The table below shows, in the three scenarios, the effects of exchange rate changes on the net liability position of R$ 1,489.1 million in foreign currency as of December 31, 2019:


In millions of Brazilian Reais	Risk	Scenario I			Scenario II			Scenario III
		Likely			25%			50%
(1) Income statement effect	Real devaluation		45.2			113.0			226.0
(2) Equity effect	Real devaluation		(194.1	)		(485.3	)		(970.6	)

(1) + (2)	Net effect		(148.9	)		(372.3	)		(744.6	)

(3) Income statement effect	Real appreciation		(45.2	)		(113.0	)		(226.0	)
(4) Equity effect	Real appreciation		194.1			485.3			970.6

(3) + (4)	Net effect		148.9			372.3			744.6

The table below shows, in the three scenarios, the effects of exchange rate changes on the net liability position of R$ 1,726.1 million in foreign currency as of December 31, 2018:


In millions of Brazilian Reais	Risk	Scenario I			Scenario II			Scenario III
		Likely			25%			50%
(1) Income statement effect	Real devaluation		28.3			70.7			141.4
(2) Equity effect	Real devaluation		(200.9	)		(502.2	)		(1.004.4	)

(1) + (2)	Net effect		(172.6	)		(431.5	)		(863.0	)

(3) Income statement effect	Real appreciation		(28.3	)		(70.7	)		(141.4	)
(4) Equity effect	Real appreciation		200.9			502.2			1.004.4

(3) + (4)	Net effect		172.6			431.5			863.0

The equity effect refers to cumulative translation adjustments of changes in the exchange rate on equity of foreign subsidiaries (see Notes 2.s.1 and 26.g.2), net investments hedge in foreign entities, cash flow hedge of firm commitment and highly probable transaction (see Note 2.c and “h. Hedge Accounting” below).

c. Interest Rate Risk

The Company and its subsidiaries adopt 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 DI, as set forth in Note 4. Borrowings primarily relate to financing from Banco do Brasil, as well as debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in Note 16.

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

c.1 Assets and liabilities exposed to floating interest rates

The financial assets and liabilities exposed to floating interest rates are demonstrated below:


In millions of Brazilian Reais	Note	12/31/2019			12/31/2018

c.2 Sensitivity Analysis of Floating Interest Rate Risk

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

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

d. 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).

d.1 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.

d.2 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 (S&P, Moody’s and Fitch) 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.

The credit risk of financial institution and government of cash, cash equivalents and financial investments is summarized below:


	Fair Value
Counterparty credit rating	12/31/2019		12/31/2018
AAA		4,906,077		5,933,671
AA		331,512		707,358
A		418,020		262,553
BBB		56,488		90,824

Total		5,712,097		6,994,406

d.3 Customer credit risk

The credit policy establishes the analysis of the profile of each new customer, individually, regarding their financial condition. The review carried out by the subsidiaries of the Company includes the evaluation of external ratings, when available, financial statements, credit bureau information, industry information and, when necessary, bank references. Credit limits are established for each customer and reviewed periodically, in a shorter period the greater the risk, depending on the approval of the responsible area in cases of sales that exceed these limits.

In monitoring credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics and depending on the business the grouping takes into account, for example, whether they are natural or legal clients, whether they are wholesalers, resellers or final customers, considering also the geographic area.

The expected credit losses are calculated by the expected loss approach based on the probability of default rates. Loss rates are calculated on the basis of the average probability of a receivable amount to advance through successive stages of default until full

write-off.

The probability of default calculation takes into account a credit risk score for each exposure, based on data considered to be capable of foreseeing the risk of loss (external classifications, audited financial statements, cash flow projections, customer information available in the press, for example), with addition of the credit assessment based on experience.

Such credit 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 subsidiaries of the Company request guarantees related to trade receivables and other receivables in specific situations to customers, but these guarantees don’t influence in the calculation of risk of loss. The subsidiaries of the Company maintained the following allowance for

expected losses on doubtful accounts balances on trade receivables:


	12/31/2019		12/31/2018
Ipiranga		447,235		442,486
Ultragaz		94,985		61,975
Oxiteno		13,252		12,371
Extrafarma		3,419		5,858
Ultracargo		2,001		2,089

Total		560,892		524,779

		560,892		524,779

For further information about the allowance for

expected losses on doubtful accounts, see Notes 5.a and 5.b.

e. 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.

On December 31, 2019, the gross indebtedness due over the next twelve months totaled

R$ 1,532.0 million, including estimated interests on loans (for quantitative information, see Note 16.a). Furthermore, the investment plan for 2020 total

R$ 1,771 million. On December 31, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries had R$ 5,205.6 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, 2019 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.


	In millions of Brazilian Reais
Financial liabilities	Total		Less than 1 year		Between 1 and 3 years		Between 3 and 5 years		More than 5 years
Loans including future contractual interest (1) (2)		17,224.8		1,532.0		5,954.9		4,686.3		5,051.5
Currency and interest rate hedging instruments (3)		588.4		131.1		143.7		129.3		184.3
Trade payables		2,700.1		2,700.1		0		0		0
Leases payable		2,043.8		310.0		904.7		508.7		320.4

(1)

To calculate the estimated interest on loans some macroeconomic assumptions were used, including averaging for the period the following: (i) DI of % 4.40% to 2020, 4.95% to 2021, 5.57% to 2022 and 6.01% to 2023, (ii) exchange rate of the Real against the U.S. dollar of R$ 4,05 in 2020, R$ 4.17 in 2021, R$ 4.33 in 2022, R$ 4.52 in 2023, R$ 4.73 in 2024, R$ 4.93 in 2025, R$ 5.13 in 2026, R$ 5.34 in 2027, R$ 5.56 in 2028 and R$ 5.78 in 2029 (iii) TJLP of 5.57%, (iv)

IGP-M

of 4.18% in 2020, 3.99% in 2021, 3.75% in 2022, 3.58% as from 2023 and (v) IPCA of 3.46% in 2020, 3.45% in 2021, 3.50% in 2022 and 3.25% as from 2023(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, 2019 and on the futures curve of LIBOR (ICE—IntercontinentalExchange) and

commodities heating oil

contracts and RBOB quoted on

New York Mercantile Exchange

(“NYMEX”) on December 31, 2019. In the table above, only the hedging instruments with negative results at the time of settlement were considered.

f. 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 16). 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.

g. 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.

h. Hedge Accounting

The Company and its subsidiaries use derivative and

non-derivative

financial instruments for hedging purposes and test, throughout the duration of the hedge, their effectiveness, as well as the changes in their fair value.

h.1 Fair value hedge

h.2 Cash flow hedge

The Company and its subsidiaries designate, as cash flow hedge of firm commitment and highly probable transactions, derivative financial instruments to hedge firm commitments and

non-derivative

financial instruments to hedge highly probable future transactions, to hedge against fluctuations arising from changes in exchange rate.

On December 31, 2019, the Company had no exchange rate and commodities hedging instruments of firm commitments designated as cash flow hedges. For the exchange rate and commodities hedging instruments settled in 2019, a loss of R$ 29.1 million (a gain of R$ 10.7 million for the period ended on December 31, 2018) was recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

On December 31, 2019, the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments for highly probable future transactions designated as cash flow hedge, related to notes in the foreign market totaled US$ 550.0 million (US$ 570.0 million on December 31, 2018). On December 31, 2019, the unrealized loss of “Other comprehensive income” is R$ 293.3 million (loss of R$ 243.7 million on December 31, 2018), net of deferred IRPJ and CSLL.

On December 31, 2019, the notional amount of foreign exchange hedging instruments for highly probable future transactions designated as cash flow hedge, related to future sales revenues of Oxiteno (zero cost collars) totaled US$ 60.0 million (US$ 149.4 million on December 31, 2018). On December 31, 2019, the unrealized loss of “Other comprehensive income” is R$ 0.1 million (gain of R$ 0.2 million on December 31, 2018), net of deferred IRPJ and CSLL.

h.3 Net investment hedge in foreign entities

The Company and its subsidiaries designate, as net investment hedge in foreign entities, notes in the foreign market, for hedging net investment in foreign entities, to offset changes in exchange rates.

On December 31, 2019, the balance of foreign exchange hedging instruments designated as net investments hedge in foreign entities, related to part of the investments made in entities which functional currency is other than the Brazilian Real, totaled US$ 95.0 million (US$ 96.0 million on December 31, 2018).On December 31, 2019, the unrealized loss of “Other comprehensive income” is R$ 55.7 million (loss of R$ 45.9 million on December 31, 2018), net of deferred income and social contribution taxes. The effects of exchange rate changes on investments and hedging instruments were offset in equity.

Total						18,812,123		19,997,517		18,060,921		17,935,102

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 the Company calculates their fair value through methodologies commonly used for mark to the market.

•

The fair value of trade receivables and trade payables are approximate to their carrying values.

•

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 25).

•

The fair value calculation of notes in the foreign market (see Note 16.b) is based on the quoted price in an active market.

The fair value of other financial investments, financing and leases payable 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 the date of the financial statements. 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 financial assets or 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, financial investments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial investments that are classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (see Note 4.b), (ii) loans and financing measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 16.a), (iii) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 16.i), which are measured at fair value through profit or loss, and (iv) subscription warrants – indemnification, which are measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 25). Cash, banks, trade receivables and reseller financing are classified as measured at amortized cost. Trade payables, leases payable and other payables are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

j.1 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).

k. Sensitivity Analysis of Derivative Financial Instruments

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, 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 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 a reference, the exchange rate for the last maturity of foreign exchange hedging instruments is R$ 5.76 (R$ 5.86 as of December 31, 2018) 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 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the exchange rates were replaced, and the changes between the new balance in Brazilian Reais and the original balance in Brazilian Reais 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:


12/31/2019	Risk		Scenario I Likely			Scenario II			Scenario III
Currency swaps receivable in U.S. dollars

For sensitivity analysis of hedging instruments for interest rates in Brazilian Reais as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company used the futures curve of the DI x Pre contract quoted on B3 as of December 31, 2019 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 results are shown in the table below:


12/31/2019	Risk		Scenario I Likely			Scenario II			Scenario III
Swap de taxa de juros (em Reais) – Debentures—CRA
(1) Fixed rate swap—DI		Decrease in		(195,123	)		(137,260	)		(74,027	)

For the sensitivity analysis of the commodity price swings hedging instruments on December 31, 2019, the Company used the futures heating oil and gasoline (RBOB) contracts quoted on NYMEX. Scenarios II and III were estimated based on 25% and 50% deterioration, respectively, of the likely scenario commodity price.

Based on the balances of the hedging instruments and the objects hedged on December 31, 2019, prices were substituted and the variations between the new balance in Reais and the balance in Reais in the report date were calculated in each of the three scenarios. The table below shows the variation of the amounts of the derivative instruments and their objects of hedge, considering the variations in commodity prices in the different scenarios:


12/31/2019	Risk		Scenario I Likely			Scenario II			Scenario III
