To the Shareholders, Directors and Management of

Ultrapar Participações S.A.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements of Ultrapar Participações S.A. (“Company”), identified as Parent and Consolidated, respectively, which comprise the individual and consolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2022, and the related individual and consolidated statements of income, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 

In our opinion, the individual and consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the individual and consolidated financial position of Ultrapar Participações S.A. as at December 31, 2022, and its individual and consolidated financial performance and its individual and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) 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 “Auditor’s 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 set out in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants and the professional standards issued by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”), 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 audit 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 year. 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, therefore, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma

Why is it a KAM?

As disclosed in notes 1.b.2, 1.b.3 and 4, in 2021 the Company entered into agreements for the disposal of its equity interests in subsidiaries Oxiteno S.A. - Indústria e Comércio (“Oxiteno”) and Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”). Accordingly, as at December 31, 2021, the Company classified the related assets and liabilities of Oxiteno and Extrafarma as “Held for sale” and the related profit or loss as “Discontinued operations”. In 2022, the Company completed the sale of Oxiteno and Extrafarma upon fulfilling certain precedent conditions, which generated a loss of R$ 19,973 thousand and a gain of R$ 58,403 thousand on the sale of Extrafarma and Oxiteno, respectively, after the effect of income and social contribution taxes, as stated in note 4. For the year ended December 31, 2022, profit or loss from discontinued operations totaled R$ 301,858 thousand, including the gain and loss from the disposal of investments. The Company accounted for the disposal of investments in accordance with technical pronouncement CPC 31 and international standard IFRS 5 - Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, which require recognizing any assets and liabilities as “Held-for-sale assets” and “Liabilities related to held-for-sale assets” in the balance sheet and reporting the income (loss) of the companies sold up to the sale date, as well as the gain (loss) from the sale of the investments, as “Discontinued operations” in the statement of income.

The disposal of investments is considered a significant unusual transaction, which involves complexity and a high degree of judgment by the Company’s Management in respect of its accounting recognition, presentation and disclosure. Moreover, the sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma involved future installments receivable, classified in noncurrent assets, for which the need for present value adjustments was assessed. The sale of Oxiteno resulted in reclassifications of effects that had been recorded in “Valuation adjustments” and “Cumulative translation adjustments” to “Net income (loss) from discontinued operations”, among other impacts that affected profit or loss for the year. 

Such matter was considered a key audit matter, due to: (i) the materiality of amounts; (ii) the high degree of complexity and judgment exercised by Management in adopting CPC 31 and IFRS 5; (iii) the high degree of complexity and judgment exercised by Management in calculating gains or losses on the disposal of investments, including an assessment of the tax impacts derived from transactions; and (iv) the high degree of complexity and judgment in identifying the assets, liabilities and profit or loss from discontinued operations. Auditing this matter requires a high degree of judgment and effort, including the involvement of our tax specialists.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: (i) assessing the design and implementation of internal control activities associated with the identification and accounting treatment attributable to the transaction, including controls related to the adoption of the accounting policy applicable to the accounting recognition, presentation and disclosure of disposals of investments; (ii) understanding and assessing the nature and economic substance of the transaction, analyzing the agreements executed between the parties, and reading the minutes of the Board of Directors’ meetings that approved the disposal of the investments; (iii) assessing and challenging the judgments exercised and criteria adopted by Management in applying CPC 31 and IFRS 5 and in determining and measuring the profit or loss from discontinued operations; (iv) involving our tax specialists to assess the tax impacts derived from the transaction; and (v) analyzing and assessing the disclosures made in the individual and consolidated financial statements.

Based on the evidence obtained from performing our procedures described above, we consider that the accounting treatment applied to the aforesaid transaction and related disclosures made in the notes are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Tax credits (PIS and COFINS) arising from Supplementary Law 192

Why is it a KAM?

As disclosed in note 8.a.2, as at December 31, 2022, the Company recorded PIS and COFINS credits derived from Supplementary Law 192. These tax credits may be utilized for offset against other federal taxes or may be refunded by the Federal Revenue Service through refund requests, as long as these requests are filed within the applicable statutory periods.

The recognition and measurement of PIS and COFINS credits require a high degree of judgment by Management, given the complexity underlying the interpretations of the applicable tax laws, as well as the uncertainties involving the expected realization of amounts and considerable efforts made by Management in preparing the calculations used to measure and to recognize those tax credits. 

Such matter was considered a key audit matter, due to: (i) the materiality of amounts; (ii) the complexity and high degree of judgment involved in assessing and challenging Management’s assumptions and judgments as regards the recognition of tax credits and their expected realization, which includes the need to involve our tax specialists.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to: (i) assessing the design and implementation of internal control activities associated with the recognition, measurement and realization of tax credits; (ii) understanding the nature of tax credits and analyzing the applicable tax laws, drawing on the support of our tax specialists; (iii) testing the supporting documentation on the recognition of tax credits; (iv) making inquiries to the Company’s Management and outside legal counsel, and assessing the legal opinions issued on the matter; (v) involving our tax specialists to make inquiries to Management and outside legal counsel, to assess the legal opinions and to challenge the assumptions adopted by Management; (vi) analyzing, challenging and testing the methodology and assumptions used to develop the projections supporting the realization of tax credits, including inquiries to the business, treasury and controllership areas about the assumptions and projections supporting the forecast outcomes and historical performance, retrospective analysis, history of tax offsets and refunds, and assessing any contradictory evidence; (vii) involving specialists in technical and professional accounting standards to analyze the accounting policy applied to the transaction; and (viii) analyzing and assessing the disclosures made in the individual and consolidated financial statements.

Based on the evidence obtained from performing our procedures described above, we consider that the accounting treatment applied to the aforesaid transaction and related disclosures made in the notes are acceptable in the context of the individual and consolidated financial statements 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, 2022, prepared under the responsibility of the Company’s Management and disclosed as supplemental information for purposes of the IFRSs, were subject to audit procedures performed together with the audit of the Company’s financial statements. In forming our opinion, we assess whether these individual and consolidated statements of value added are reconciled with the financial statements and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria set out in technical pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. In our opinion, these statements of value added were appropriately prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set out in such technical pronouncement and are consistent in relation to the individual and consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

Audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021

The individual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 were audited by other independent auditors, who issued an unmodified opinion thereon, dated February 23, 2022.

Other information accompanying the individual and consolidated financial statements and the independent auditor’s report

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Report.

Our opinion on the individual and consolidated financial statements does not cover the Management Report and we do not express any form of audit conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the individual and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management Report and, in doing so, consider whether this report is materially inconsistent with the 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 in the Management Report, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

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 International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), issued by the 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 its 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 its subsidiaries’ financial reporting process.

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.
  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
  • 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 ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and its 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 to communicate with them all relationships and matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and, when 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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 accompanying individual and consolidated financial statements have been translated into English for the convenience of readers outside Brazil.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”), in the Novo Mercado listing segment under the ticker “UGPA3” and on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in the form of level III American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) under the ticker “UGP”.

 

The Company engages in the investment of its own capital in services, commercial and industrial activities, through the subscription or acquisition of shares of other companies. Through its subsidiaries, it operates on liquefied petroleum gas – LPG distribution (“Ultragaz”), fuel distribution and related businesses (“Ipiranga” or “IPP”) and storage services for liquid bulk (“Ultracargo”). The information on segments is disclosed in Note 31.

 

These financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 15, 2023.

 

a. Principles of consolidation and interest in subsidiaries

 

a.1 Principles of consolidation

 

In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements the 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 equity and net income.

 

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains direct or indirect control over an entity and ceases when the company loses control. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired are included in the consolidated statements of income and of comprehensive income from the date the Company gains the control. Income and expenses of a subsidiary, in which the Company loses control, are included in the consolidated statements of income and of  comprehensive income until the date the 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.

b. Main events that occurred in the year

 

b.1 Clarifications on the impacts of the military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine 

 

On February, 2022 a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops began. Since then, global markets have experienced volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions and the onset of military conflict between these countries. While the duration and the impact of the ongoing military conflict is highly unpredictable, the conflict in Ukraine has and may lead to market disruptions and significant volatility in commodity prices, including crude oil, which may affect the prices of petroleum-based fuel and the demand in the markets in which we operate. Furthermore, the governments of the United States and other countries have imposed economic sanctions on Russia, including politicians and corporate and banking entities. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may lead Russia to take countermeasures or retaliatory actions, which may lead to further disruptions in the market and an increase in crude oil prices and its derivatives globally, which may negatively impact our business and operations.

 

In addition, any new global financial crisis could have a negative impact on our borrowing cost and on our ability to obtain future borrowings. Disruptions in the financial markets could also lead to a reduction in available commercial credit due to liquidity concerns of the counterparties. If we experience a decrease in demand for our products or an increase in the default rate on our receivables, or if we are unable to obtain borrowings, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021


 

The parent’s individual and consolidated financial statements (“financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards “IFRS” issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and with the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. 

 

The accounting practices adopted in Brazil include those in the Brazilian corporate law and in the Pronouncements, Guidance and Interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), approved by the Brazilian Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

 

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

 

The presentation currency of the Company’s financial statements is the Brazilian Real, which is the Company’s functional currency, unless otherwise stated.

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions in the application of accounting policies that affect the presented amounts of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities. The uncertainty related to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future years.

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following material items recognized in the statements of financial position:

 


(i) derivative and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

(ii) share-based payments and employee benefits measured at fair value;

(iii) deemed cost of property, plant and equipment.

          

The Company and its subsidiaries applied the accounting policies described below in a consistent manner for all years presented in these financial statements.


a. Revenue recognition


Revenues from sales and services rendered under contracts with customers are recognized on the accrual basis when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied by transferring the control of a promised good or service to a customer in such a way that the customer obtains substantially all rewards generated, according to incoterms of each transaction, and when it is highly probable that the Company and its subsidiaries will receive the consideration in exchange for the transferred goods or services.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021


 

The Company and its subsidiaries recognize revenue under the 5-step model, in accordance with IFRS 15/CPC 47: (1) identification of contracts with customers, (2) identification of the performance obligations, (3) determination of the transaction price, (4) allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations under the contracts and (5) revenue recognition when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied and the control of the goods or assets is transferred to the customer.

 

Revenue is measured and stated at the fair value of the consideration to which the Company and its subsidiaries expect to be entitled to, less returns, discounts, rebates, sales taxes, amortization of assets from contracts with customers, and other deductions, if applicable. The Company’s subsidiaries do not have obligations for return or refund in their contracts with customers and do not have significant financing component that directly impacts the determination of the expected consideration.

 

At Ipiranga, the revenue from sales of fuels and lubricants is recognized when the products are delivered to gas stations and to large consumers. Deferred revenue from loyalty program is recognized in the statement of income when the points are redeemed, on which occasion the costs incurred are also recognized in profit or loss, or when points expire. Amortization of contractual assets with customers for the exclusive rights in Ipiranga’s reseller service stations and the bonuses paid in performance obligation sales are recognized in the statement of income as a deduction of the revenue from sale, according to the conditions established in the agreements which is reviewed as per the changes occurred in the agreements (see Notes 2.f and 12). At Ultragaz, 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. At Ultracargo, the revenue from storage services provided is recognized as services rendered or according with contractual terms. The breakdowns of revenues from sales and services are shown in Notes 26 and 31.

 

b. Cash and cash equivalents

 

Includes cash, bank deposits, and short-term up to 90 days of maturity, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes. For an investment to qualify as a cash equivalent it must be readily convertible to a known amount of cash and be subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Therefore, an investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of, say, three months or less from the date of acquisition. For further information on cash and cash equivalents of the Company and its subsidiaries, see Note 5.a.

c. Financial assets

 

The Company and its subsidiaries evaluated the classification and measurement of financial assets based on its business model of financial assets as follows:

 

  • Amortized cost: financial assets held in order to collect contractual cash flows, solely principal and interest. The interest earned and the foreign currency exchange variation are recognized in profit or loss and balances are stated at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The financial investments in Bank Certificates of Deposit (“CDB”) and repurchase agreements are classified substantially as measured at amortized cost.

 

  • Measured at fair value through other comprehensive income: financial assets that are acquired or originated for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows or selling financial assets. 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 initial amount of financial investments plus the interest earned and the exchange variation are recognized in equity in the “Valuation adjustments”, net of income taxes. Accumulated gains and losses recognized in equity are reclassified to profit or loss at the time of their settlement.

 

  • Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets that were not classified as amortized cost or as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The balances are stated at fair value and both the interest earned and the exchange variations and changes in fair value are recognized in the statement of income. Investment funds and derivatives are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss.

 

  • 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 statement of income. 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 hedged item is also measured at fair value. Gains and losses from hedge instruments and hedged items are recognized in the statement of income. 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 statement of income. 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", net of income taxes, while the ineffective portion is recognized in the statement of income. 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 is 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 item of the statement that the hedged item is recognized. The hedge accounting shall be discontinued when (i) the hedging relationship is canceled; (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 equity in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the statement of income 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 equity in other comprehensive income shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

  • Hedge accounting – hedge of net investments in foreign operations: 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 “Cumulative translation adjustments”, net of income taxes, while the ineffective portion and the operating costs are recognized the statement of income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument that has been recognized directly in accumulated other comprehensive income shall be recognized in the statement of income when the disposal of the foreign subsidiary occurs.

 

For further information on financial instruments, see Note 32.

 

d. Trade receivables and reseller financing

 

Trade receivables are recognized at the amount invoiced to the counterparty that the Company subsidiaries are entitled (see Notes 6.a and 32.d.3). The loss allowance for expected credit losses consider the expected losses for the next 12 months taking into account the deterioration or improvement of the customers’ credit quality, considering the customers’ characteristics in each business segment. The amount of the expected credit losses is deemed by Management to be sufficient to cover any loss on realization of trade receivables.

Reseller financing is provided at subsidized rate for renovation and upgrading of service stations, purchase of products and development of the automotive fuels and lubricants distribution market (see Notes 6.b and 32.d.3). The terms of reseller financing range between 12 and 60 months, with an average term of 40 months. The maximum subsidized rates are 1% per month. These financing are remeasured at a market rate for working capital loans and the remeasurement adjustment between the market rate and the subsidized rate is recognized as a reduction to the reseller’s revenue at the beginning of the contract. Throughout the contract, the interest appropriated by the market rate is recognized in the financial result.

 

e. Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost or net realizable value (see Note 7). 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 in  these estimates, 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. Contractual assets with customers - exclusive rights

 

Exclusive rights disbursements as provided in Ipiranga’s agreements with reseller service stations and major consumers are recognized as contractual assets when paid and amortized according to the conditions established in the agreements (see Note 12).

 

g. Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations

 

Non-current assets and related liabilities are classified as held for sale if it is highly probable that their book value will be recovered, primarily, through a sale transaction rather than continued use. The classification criteria are met only when the sale is highly probable, the asset or group of assets is held for immediate sale in its current condition and the sale is expected to occur within 12 months after classification as held for sale.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021



A line of business or subsidiary is classified as discontinued operation when the sale of a component of the company that represents an important separate line of business or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if occurs before, being its results and cash flows presented separately based on the classification of the respective assets and liabilities as held for sale.

 

Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations are measured at the lower of the book value and fair value, net of selling expenses, and presented separately in the statement of financial position.

 

h. Investments

 

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the parent’s individual financial statements (see Notes 1.a and 13). 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.

 

Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting in the financial statements (see Note 13). 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 establishes 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.

 

i. Right-of-use assets and leases payable

 

The Company and its subsidiaries recognized in the statement of financial position right-of-use assets and the respective lease liabilities initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted by the incremental loan rate of the Company, considering the related contract costs (see Note 14). The amortization expenses of right-of-use assets is recognized in the statement of income over the lease contract term. When the right-of-use asset is used in the construction of the property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”), its amortization is capitalized until the asset under construction is completed. The liability is increased for interest and decreased by lease payments made. The interest is recognized in the statement of income using the effective interest rate method. The remeasurement of assets and liabilities based on the contractual index is recognized in the statement of financial position, not having an effect in the result. In case of cancellation of the contract, the assets and respective liabilities are written off to the result, considering, if it is the case, any penalties provided in contractual clauses. The Company and its subsidiaries have no intention in purchasing the underlying asset. The Company and its subsidiaries periodically review the existence of an indication that the right-of-use assets may be impaired (see Note 2.u).

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021


 

Right-of-use assets include amounts related to area port leases grants (see Note 33.b).

 

The Company and its subsidiaries apply the recognition exemptions to short-term leases of 12 months or less and lease contracts of low value assets, which do not have purchase option at the end of the contract. In these cases, the recognition of the lease expense in the statement of income is on a straight-line basis.

 

j. Property, plant and equipment

 

PP&E is recognized at acquisition or construction cost, including capitalization of right-of-use assets amortization and financial charges incurred on PP&E under construction, as well as qualifying maintenance costs resulting from scheduled plant outages and estimated costs to remove, to decommission, or to restore assets (see Notes 2.o and 22), less accumulated depreciation and, when applicable, less provision for impairment (see Note 15).

 

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, over the periods mentioned in Note 15, 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.

 

k. Intangible assets

 

Intangible assets include assets acquired by the Company and its subsidiaries from third parties, and are recognized according to the criteria below:

 

  • Goodwill 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 identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired entity. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is indication that the goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill is allocated to the business segments, which represent the lowest level that goodwill is monitored for impairment testing purposes (see Note 16.a).

 

  • 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 the straight-line method, over the periods mentioned in Note 16, taking into account their useful lives, which are reviewed annually.

  • The decarbonization credits (“CBIOS”) acquired are recorded at historical cost in intangible assets, being retired according decree in the year to fulfill the individual target set by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (“ANP”) and are not amortized. These assets are used to settle the annual decarbonization obligation adopted by Brazilian National Biofuels Policy (“RenovaBio”), implemented by Law No. 13,576/2017, with additional regulations established by Decree No. 9,888/2019 and Ordinance No. 419 of November 20, 2019 issued by the Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy. On July 22, 2022, the Decree No. 11,141/2022 was published, which establish on an exceptional basis, the retirement deadline of decarbonization credits until September 2023, to comprove the goal of 2022.

 

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 16.a.).


l. 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, less the provisions for losses and, if applicable, adjusted to present value.

 

m. Financial liabilities

 

The financial liabilities include trade payables, trade payables - reverse factoring, other payables, financing, loans, debentures, leases payable and derivative financial instruments used as hedging 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 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 accrued interest and net of amortization and transaction costs. Interest expense is recognized in the statement of income 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 in the statement of income taking into account its term, using the effective interest rate method (see Note 17.b).

n. 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. For the calculation of current IRPJ, the value of tax incentives is also considered. At the end of the fiscal year the portion of the profit corresponding to these investment grants is allocated to the constitution of a tax incentive reserve in subsidiaries’ equity and is excluded from the dividend calculation base and subsequently capitalized. 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 IRPJ and 9% for CSLL. For further information about recognition and realization of IRPJ and CSLL see Note 10.

 

For purposes of disclosure deferred tax assets were offset against the deferred tax liabilities, in the same taxable entity and the same tax authority.

 

o. Provision for asset retirement obligation - fuel tanks

 

The subsidiary Ipiranga has the legal obligation to remove the 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 PP&E and depreciated over the respective useful lives of the asset. The amounts recognized as a liability accrue inflation effect using the Amplified Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) until the tank is removed (see Note 22). 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 the statement of income when they become known.

 

p. Provision for tax, civil, labor risks and contingent assets

 

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 23). An entity shall not recognize a contingent asset. Contingent assets usually arise from unplanned or other unexpected events that give rise to the possibility of an inflow of economic benefits to the entity. Contingent assets are not recognized in financial statements since this may result in the recognition of income that may never be realized. However, when the realization of income is virtually certain, then the related asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropriate. A contingent asset is disclosed where an inflow of economic benefits is probable.

 

q. 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 and reviewed by management, using the projected unit credit method (see Note 21.b). The actuarial gains and losses are recognized in equity in “Accumulated other comprehensive income”, net of income taxes.

r. Other liabilities

 

Other liabilities are stated at known or measurable amounts 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.

 

s. Foreign currency transactions

 

Foreign currency transactions carried out by the Company and 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 financial statements. The effect of the difference between those exchange rates is recognized in financial results until the conclusion of each transaction.

 

t. Basis for translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries

 

t.1 Subsidiaries with administrative authority

 

Assets and liabilities of the foreign subsidiaries denominated in currencies other than Brazilian Real which have administrative authority are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the financial statements. Revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rate of each year and equity is translated at the historical exchange rate of each transaction affecting equity. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized on equity in other comprehensive income amount on the account “cumulative translation adjustments” and will be recognized in profit or loss if and when these investments are disposed of. On December 31, 2022 the Company does not have foreign subsidiaries with administrative authority. On December 31, 2021 the gains with exchange rate totaled R$ 304,645 related to the subsidiary Oxiteno which in April 1, 2022 was saled to Indorama (see note 1.b.2 for more information).

 

t.2 Subsidiaries without administrative authority

 

The Company has foreign subsidiaries without administrative authority. Assets and liabilities of the other foreign subsidiaries, which do not have administrative authority, are considered an extension of the activities of their parent company and are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the financial statements. Gains and losses resulting from changes in these foreign investments are directly recognized as financial result.

 

u. Use of estimates, assumptions and judgments

 

The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates, assumptions, and judgments for the accounting and disclosure of certain assets, liabilities, and profit or loss. Therefore, the Company and subsidiaries’ management use the best information available at the date of preparation of the financial statements, as well as the experience of past and current events, also considering assumptions regarding future events. The estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically.

The information regarding uncertainties related to the assumptions and estimates are included: in determining the fair value of financial instruments, including derivatives (Notes 2.c, 2.m, 5, 17 and 32), the determination of the loss allowance for expected credit losses (Notes 2.d, 6 and 32.d.3), the determination of provisions for losses of inventories (Notes 2.e and 7), the estimates of realization of deferred IRPJ and CSLL amounts (Notes 2.n and 10.a), realization amount of tax recoverable (Note 8), the useful lives and discount rate of right-of-use assets (Notes 2.i and 14), the useful lives of property, plant and equipment (Notes 2.j and 15), the useful lives of intangible assets and recoverable value of assets, including goodwill (Notes 2.k and 16.a), provisions for assets retirement obligations (Notes 2.o and 22), provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks (Notes 2.p and 23), estimates for the preparation of actuarial reports (Notes 2.q and 21.b), determination of fair value of subscription warrants – indemnification (Notes 25 and 32.i), and definition of fair value of the contingent consideration set for the business combination (Note 34).   The actual result of the transactions and information may differ from their estimates.


v. Impairment of assets

 

The Company and its subsidiaries review in every reporting period the existence of any indication that an asset may be impaired. To intangible assets with indefinite useful life the review is done annually or more frequently when there is indication that such assets might be impaired. If there is an indication of impairment, 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 inflow 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 expenses and their value in use.

 

The fair value less costs to sell 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 projections of future cash flows, trends, and outlooks, as well as the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors were considered. 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 amount 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 are 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.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021


 

 As of December 31, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries did not record any  losses with impairment of assets. As of December 31, 2022, the recognized impairment amount was R$ 427,529 and deferred income and social contribution taxes effects amounted to R$ 145,360, resulting in a net loss of R$ 282,169. On August 31, 2022, the Company, through its subsidiary Ipiranga, sold its subsidiary Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”) and wrote off the provision for impairment of assets allocated to subsidiary Imifarma Produtos Farmacêuticos e Cosméticos S.A. (“Extrafarma”). See Note 4.a.

 

w. Business combinations

 

A business combination is accounted for 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 according to the contractual terms, economic circumstances and relevant conditions on the acquisition date. The non-controlling interest in the acquired company is measured based on its interest in net assets identified in the acquired company. 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 statement of income. Costs related to the acquisitions are recorded in the statement of income when incurred. For further details, see note 34.


Business combination between entities under common control

 

Business combinations between entities under common control have not been addressed under IFRS and how they should be disclosed remains unclear. IFRS 3 is the standard applicable to business combinations, but its scope explicitly excludes business combinations between entities under common control.

 

Predecessor basis of accounting

 

In accordance with IAS 8, Management has adopted the predecessor basis of accounting, which is consistent with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”) and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“UKGAAP”), to record the carrying amount of the asset received, as recorded by the parent company.


Under the predecessor basis of accounting, when accounting for a transfer of assets between entities under common control, the entity that receives the net assets or the equity interests (the acquirer) shall initially record the assets and liabilities transferred at their parent book value as at the transfer date. If the book value of the assets and liabilities transferred by the parent is different from the historical cost recorded by the controlling entity of the entities under common control (the ultimate parent), the financial statements of the acquirer shall reflect the assets and liabilities transferred at the same cost of the ultimate parent, as a counter-entry to shareholders' equity against the carrying value adjustments.


 

x. Statements of value added

 

The statement of value added (“DVA”) has been prepared using information obtained from the same accounting records used to prepare the financial statements and pursuant to the provisions of CPC 09 - Statement of Value Added. The first part of the DVA presents the wealth created by the Company, represented by revenues (gross sales revenue, including taxes levied thereon, other income and the effects of the allowance for expected credit losses), materials purchased from third parties (cost of sales and purchases of materials, energy and third-party services, including taxes levied at the time of the purchase, the effects of impairment and recovery of assets, and depreciation and amortization) and the value added received from third parties (share of profit of subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, financial income and other income). The second part of the DVA presents the distribution of wealth among personnel, taxes fees and contributions, and remuneration of third-party capital and remuneration of own capital.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021


  

 The statements of value added (“DVA”) are presented as an integral part of the financial statements as applicable to publicly traded companies in Brazil, according to Law 11,638/07 and as supplemental information for the IFRS, which does not require the presentation of DVA.

 

y. Statements of cash flows

 

The Company and its subsidiaries present the interest paid on loans, financing, debentures, and leases payable in financing activities and present financial investments, net of redemptions in the investing activities and received dividends in the operating activities.


z. Financial liabilities of customers

 

Refers to contract obligations of payments in installments of exclusivity rights with customers of subsidiary Ipiranga, where there was the anticipation of these receivables by customers with certain financial institutions. Ipiranga as guarantor of the operation, assumes the payment of installments falling due with the financial institution in exchange for the right of exclusivity with the customers (see Note 12).

 

Considering that the average term of maturity of these obligations is 50 monthly installments and the amounts do not bear interest, the Company recorded an adjustment to present value ("APV"), with contrast registered at the rubric “Contractual assets with customers – exclusivity rights”. The APV reversion will occur over the contractual term with impact in financial result with an approximate average rate of 13.7% p.a.


3. New accounting policies and changes in accounting policies

 

These financial statements were prepared using information from Ultrapar and its subsidiaries on the same date, as well as consistent accounting policies and practices.

 

The accounting policies have been consistently applied to all consolidated companies and are consistent with those used in the parent. The Company evaluated and, when necessary, applied for the first time the following standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and, on the date the financial statements were authorized for issue, did not identify any significant impacts thereof on the disclosure or reported amounts.


  1. New accounting policies and changes in accounting policies adopted

 

The new standards and interpretations issued, up to the issuance of the Company's individual and consolidated financial statements, are described below.

a.1 Accounting policies adopted


The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations of IFRS issued by the IASB and effective on January 1, 2022 had no significant impact on the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022:

 

  • CPC 15 (R1)/IFRS 3 Business Combinations – Reference to the Conceptual Framework - The amendments update the reference to the conceptual framework of the old version with the most recent one. They also include in IFRS 3 a requirement that, for obligations within the scope of IAS 37 (CPC 25), the buyer adopts the standard to determine whether at the acquisition date a present obligation exists as a result of past events.  For a levy within the scope of IFRIC 21 (ICPC 21) - Levies, the buyer adopts the standard to determine whether the obligating event that gave rise to a liability to pay a levy occurred until the acquisition date.

 

  • CPC 27/IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment - Proceeds before Intended Use - The amendments prohibit deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced before that asset is available for use, i.e. proceeds while bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Consequently, an entity recognizes such costs in profit or loss.

 

  • CPC 25/IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Assets and Liabilities - Onerous Contracts – The amendments specify that the cost to fulfill a contract comprises incremental costs incurred to fulfill such contract (e.g. employees or materials) and the allocation of other costs directly related to the fulfillment of a contract (e.g. allocation of depreciation expenses for an item of property, plant and equipment used to fulfill a contract).

 

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 Cycle - amendments included in the annual improvement cycle that covers the following standards:

 

  • CPC 48/IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments: The amendment clarifies that in applying the '10 per cent' test to assess whether to derecognize a financial liability, an entity includes only fees paid or received between the entity (the borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by either the entity or the lender on the other’s behalf.

 

  • CPC 06(R2)/IFRS 16 – Leases (effective period not applicable): The amendment removes the illustration of the reimbursement of leasehold improvements. As the amendment to IFRS 16 is only an illustrative example, no effective date is defined.

 

  • CPC 37/IFRS 1 - First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards: The amendment provides additional relief to a subsidiary which becomes a first-time adopter later than its parent in respect of accounting for cumulative translation differences.

 

  • CPC 29/IAS 41 - Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce: The amendment excluded the IAS 41 requirement for entities to exclude any cash flows for taxation in measuring the fair value of biological assets.

a.2 Accounting policies not adopted

 

The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations to IFRSs issued by the IASB were not adopted because they were not yet effective in the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company and its subsidiaries plan to adopt these new standards, amendments and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective, and they do not expect to have significant impact on their future individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

  • CPC 36(R3)/ IFRS 10 and CPC 18 (R2)/IAS 28 – Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture – The amendments address specifically the accounting treatment for gains and losses resulting from loss of control over a subsidiary that does not constitute a business in a transaction with an associate or joint venture, accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

 

  • CPC 50 / IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts - Establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts and supersedes IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts – (CPC 11).

 

  • CPC 26 (R1)/IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - The amendments clarify the meaning of a right to postpone the settlement of a liability; establish that the right to postpone should exist at the reporting date; specify that such classification is not affected by the expectation on whether an entity will exercise its right to postpone the settlement of the liability, and, also, that only if an embedded derivative into a convertible liability is an equity instrument, the terms of a liability would not affect their classification.

 

  • CPC 26(R1)/ IAS 1 and practical expedient 2 of IFRS – Disclosure of Accounting Policies – The amendments replace the term "significant accounting policies" with "significant accounting policy information". Guides and examples are provided to help entities to apply the materiality judgment for the disclosure of accounting policies.

 

  • CPC 23/IAS 8 – Definition of Accounting Estimates - The amendments help entities distinguish changes in accounting estimates from changes in accounting policies and correction of errors. According to the new definition, accounting estimates are “monetary amounts in the financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty”.

 

  • CPC 32/ IAS 12 – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – The amendments introduce another exception to the initial recognition exemption, and are not applicable to exemption for transactions that result from equal temporary taxable and deductible differences. An entity shall recognize the corresponding deferred tax asset and liability in accordance with the recoverability criteria and the application of the amendments to transactions occurred in or after the beginning of the earliest comparative reporting period. Examples include the following: right-of-use assets and lease liabilities; and decommissioning, remediation and similar liabilities, and the corresponding amounts recognized as part of the cost of the related asset.

The subsidiaries IPP, Bahiana Distribuidora de Gás Ltda. (“Bahiana”), Cia. Ultragaz, AMPM, Tropical and Iconic Lubrificantes S.A. (“Iconic”) have credits in the amount of R$ 1,312,990 (R$ 893,206 as of December 31, 2021) recognized, mainly of the following nature: a) transactions of inputs and outputs of products subject to taxation of the own ICMS; b) interstate outflows of oil-related products, whose ICMS was prepaid by the supplier (Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (“Petrobras”), in the case of the subsidiaries IPP, Bahiana and Cia.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021


 

The amounts of recoverable ICMS are realized by the operation subjected to taxes itself, being a revolving credit, which means that the credits are monthly offset against the tax payable on sales and new credits are generated by the acquisition of inputs, as well as by the State's refund on tax substitution operations. Management estimates the realization of the credits classified in non-current assets within a term of up to 5 years.

 

The estimated recovery of ICMS credits is stated as follows:

 

Up to 1 year

568,748

From 1 to 2 years

278,500

From 2 to 3 years

197,252

From 3 to 5 years

268,490

Total recoverable ICMS, net of provision

1,312,990

 

The provision for ICMS losses, in the amount of R$ 59,868 (R$ 48,502 as of December 31, 2021), relates to tax credit of the subsidiaries whose amounts are not included within the term determined by internal policies of provisioning.

 

a.2 The recoverable PIS and COFINS are substantially related to:

 

ICMS in the PIS and COFINS calculation basis - The balance of PIS and COFINS includes credits recorded under Laws 10,637/02 and 10,833/03, as well as amounts arising from a favorable decision regarding the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis. For further details, see note 27.

Supplementary Law 192 – On March 11, 2022, Supplementary Law 192/22 (“LC 192/22”) was published to reduce the tax burden of the fuel supply chain. Art. 9 of said law established the reduction of the PIS and Cofins tax rates levied on diesel, biodiesel and LPG to zero through December 31, 2022, ensuring at the same time the maintenance of credits taken across the whole supply chain.

On May 18, 2022, Provisional Act 1,118/22 amended Supplementary Law 192/22 to eliminate the right to take PIS and Cofins credits on purchases of diesel, LPG and biodiesel by end consumers. With the enactment of said Provisional Act, on June 2, 2022, was filed a Direct Unconstitutionality Action 7181 to challenge the provision in MP 1118/22.  On June 21, 2022 the Federal Supreme Court unanimously ratified the decision that considered MP 1118/22 unconstitutional due to violation of the 90-day principle.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021



Due to such court injunction and the non-conversion of Provisional Act 1,118/22 into law, the provisions in LC 192/22, which assured to all legal entities that are part of the fuel supply chain, including the Company’s subsidiaries, the maintenance of PIS and COFINS credits in connection with those transactions in the period from March 11, 2022  (LC 192/22 publication date) to August 15, 2022 (90 day after the publication of the provisional act that restricted the right to take credits on taxpayers), which, as decided by STF, must be the MP 1118/22 effective date, remained in force.

Accordingly the Company, advised by intern and external legal experts, by means of its subsidiaries Ipiranga and Ultragaz, recognized PIS and Cofins credits in the amount of R$ 971,373, based on Management´s projections and estimates of the realization of such credits. The Management estimates the realization of these credits within up to 5 years.

 

The estimated recovery of PIS and COFINS credits is stated as follows:

 

Up to 1 year

982,019

From 1 to 2 years

432,689

From 2 to 3 years

484,709

From 3 to 4 years

b. Recoverable income and social contribution taxes

c. Deferred stock plan (Consolidated)

 

Since 2003 Ultrapar has adopted a stock plan in which the executive has the benefit from shares held in treasury until the transfer of the full ownership of the shares to those eligible members of management after five to seven years from the initial grant of the rights subject to uninterrupted employment of the participant during the period. The volume of shares and the executives eligible are determined by the Board of Board of Directors, and there is no mandatory annual grant. The total number of shares to be used in the plan is subject to the number of shares in treasury. Ultrapar’s Board of Directors members are not eligible to participate in the stock plan. The fair value of the grants was determined on the grant date based on the market value of the shares on B3, the Brazilian Securities, Commodities and Futures Exchange and the amounts are amortized between five to seven years from the grant date.

In addition, on April 19, 2017, the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting (“OEGM”) approved a new incentive plan based on shares (“Plan”), which establishes the general terms and conditions for the granting of common shares issued by the Company and held in treasury, that may or may not involve the granting of usufruct of part of these shares for later transfer of the ownership of the shares, in periods of three to six years, to directors or employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.

As a result of the Plan, common shares representing at most 1% of the Company's share capital may be delivered to the participants, which corresponds, at the date of approval of this Plan, to 11,128,102 common shares.

In order to evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets, the taxable profit projections from business plans of each segment of the Company which indicates trends and perspectives, demand effects, competition and other economic factors, and that represent the management’s best estimate about the economic conditions existing during the period of realization of the deferred tax asset were taken into account.

 

The main key assumptions used to calculate the realization of deferred tax assets are: growth in Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”), exchange rate, basic interest rate (SELIC) and DI, inflation rate, commodity price index, among others. The consolidated balance of the Company of R$ 1,054,895 and parent of R$ 150,451 were supported by the technical study on taxable profit projections for the realization of deferred tax assets.

(ii)  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, as well as recovery of tax credits and amounts related to non-taxation of the income and social contribution taxes on the monetary adjustment (SELIC) in the repetition of undue tax lawsuits.
(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 losses are calculated on a basis equal to 32% of the 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.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021


  

At December 31, 2022, the Company assessed 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 of 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, after which the Company calculates the perpetuity, considering the possibility of carrying the business on indefinitely.

 

Discount rate and actual growth rate: the discount and real growth rates used to extrapolate the projections at December 31, 2022 ranged from 10.1% to 11.1% and -0.5% to 0.5% p.a., respectively, depending on of the CGU analyzed.

 

Revenue from sales and services, costs and expenses, and gross margin: considers the budget prepared for 2022 and the long-term strategic plan prepared by management and approved by the Board of Directors.

 

b. Software

 

Includes user licenses and costs for the implementation of the various systems used by the Company and its subsidiaries: integrated management and control, financial management, foreign trade, industrial automation, operational and storage management, accounting information, and other systems. Also include expenses related to software in progress in the amount of R$ 18,673 as of December 31, 2022 (R$ 27,672 as of December 31, 2021).

 

c. Brands and trademarks rights

 

Brands are represented by the acquisition cost of the ‘am/pm’ brand in Brazil, acquired in the business combination, and Chevron and Texaco trademark rights.

 

d. Other intangibles

 

Refers mainly to the loyalty program “Clube Extrafarma” reclassified to assets of subsidiaries held for sale. For further details, see Note 4.c.2.

 

e. Decarbonization credits

 

Represent the CBIOS acquired and recorded at acquisition cost. The amount in the “write-offs” column refers to CBIOS retired in the year, which cannot be the object of future negotiation.

21 Employee benefits and private pension plan (Consolidated)             

 

a. ULTRAPREV - Associação 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 its subsidiaries. Participating employees have been contributing to this plan, managed by Ultraprev - Associação de Previdência Complementar (“Ultraprev”), since August 2001. Each participating employee chooses his or her basic contribution to the plan, up to a limit of 11% of the employee’s reference salary, according to the rules of the plan. Each sponsoring company provides a matching contribution in an amount equivalent to each basic contribution. As participating employees retire, they may choose to receive either (i) a monthly sum ranging between 0.3% 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 35 years. The Company and its subsidiaries do not take responsibility for guaranteeing amounts or the duration of the benefits received by the retired employee.

 

The balance of R$ 18,204 (R$ 19,831 as of December 31, 2021) regarding the reversal fund will be used to deduct normal sponsor contributions in a period of up to 89 months depending on the sponsor. The number of months is estimated according to the current amount being deducted from the contributions of the sponsor with the highest balance.

Sensitivity analysis

 

The significant actuarial assumptions to determine the provision for post-employment benefits are: discount rate, salary growth and medical costs increases. The following sensitivity analyses as of December 31, 2022, as shown below, were determined based on possible changes of assumptions occurring at the reporting date of the financial statements, keeping all other assumptions constant.

The sensitivity analyses presented may not represent the real change in the post-employment benefit 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 a reference the medical cost by age based on actual healthcare expenses, projected based on the growth rate of medical services costs. An increase in the real medical costs will increase the corresponding liability.

a.1 Provision for tax matters

 

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.

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 - Superior Court of Justice (“STJ”) and Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) whose final trial are pending.

c. Lubricants operation between IPP and Chevron

 

In the lubricants' operation in Brazil between Chevron and subsidiary IPP (see Note 3.c to the financial statements filed with CVM on February 20, 2019), it was agreed that each shareholder is responsible for any claims arising out of acts, facts or omissions that occurred prior to the transaction. The amounts of provisions of Chevron’s liability in the amount of R$ 26,010 (R$ 19,724 as of December 31, 2021) are reflected in the consolidation of these financial statements. Additionally, in connection with the business combination, a provision in the amount of R$ 198,900 was recognized on December 1, 2017, related to contingent liabilities, with a balance of R$ 100,548 as of December 31, 2022 (R$ 101,267 as of December 31, 2021). The amounts of provisions of Chevron’s liability recognized in the business combination will be reimbursed to subsidiary Iconic in the event of losses and an indemnification asset was hereby constituted, without the need to establish a provision for uncollectible amounts.

The provision of the Chevron indemnification in the amount of R$ 26,010 refers to: (i) R$ 23,337 ICMS assessments on sales for industrial purposes, in which the STF closed the judgment of the thesis unfavorably to taxpayers; (ii) R$ 2,381 labor claims; and (iii) R$ 292 civil, regulatory and environmental claims.

 

Because of the association between the Company and Extrafarma on January 31, 2014, 7 subscription warrants – indemnification were issued, corresponding to up to 6,411,244 shares of the Company. The subscription warrants could be exercised beginning 2020 by the former shareholders of Extrafarma and are adjusted according to the changes in the amounts of provisions for tax, civil, and labor risks and contingent liabilities related to the period prior to January 31, 2014. The subscription warrants – indemnification’s fair value is measured based on the share price of Ultrapar (UGPA3) and is reduced by the dividend yield until 2020, since the exercise is possible only from 2020, and they are not entitled to dividends while they are not converted into shares.

 

On February 24, 2021, August 11, 2021, February 23, 2022 and August 3, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the issuance of 70,939, 31,032, 43,925 and 21,472, respectively, common shares within the authorized capital limit provided by the article 6 of the Bylaws, due to the partial exercise of the rights conferred by the subscription warrants issued by the Company at the time of the merger of all Extrafarma shares into the Company, approved by the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) of the Company held on January 31, 2014.

 

As set out in the association agreement between the Company and Extrafarma of January 31, 2014 and due to the unfavorable decisions on some lawsuits with triggering events prior to January 31, 2014, 656,121 shares linked to the subscription warrants – indemnification were canceled and not issued. On December 31, 2022, 3,392,235 shares were retained linked to subscription warrants – indemnification, which will be issued or canceled as the final decisions on the lawsuits are determined, being the maximum number of shares that can be issued in the future, totaling R$ 42,776 (R$ 51,296 as of December 31, 2021).


a. Share capital

 

As of December 31, 2022, the subscribed and paid-up capital consists of 1,115,173,080 (1,115,107,683 as of December 31, 2021) common shares with no par value and the issuance of preferred shares and participation certificates is prohibited. Each common share entitles its holder to one vote at Shareholders’ Meetings.

 

The price of the outstanding shares on B3 as of December 31, 2022 was R$ 12.61 (R$ 14.54 as of December 31, 2021).

 

As of December 31, 2022, there were 58,895,761 common shares outstanding abroad in the form of ADRs (50,374,275 shares as of December 31, 2021).

 

b. Equity instrument granted

 

The Company has a share-based incentive plan, which establishes the general terms and conditions for the concession of common shares issued by the Company held in treasury (see Note 9.c). As of December 31, 2022, the balance of treasury shares granted with right of use was 6,184,427 common shares (3,178,383 as of December 31, 2021).

d. Revaluation reserve

 

The revaluation reserve, recognized prior to the adoption of the international accounting standards (CPC / IFRS) instituted by Law 11,638/07 (“Brazilian Corporate Law”), reflects the revaluation of assets of subsidiaries and is based on depreciation, write-off, or disposal of the revalued assets of the subsidiaries, as well as the tax effects recognized by these subsidiaries.

 

e. Profit reserves

             

e.1 Legal reserve

 

Under the Brazilian Corporate Law the Company is required to allocate 5% of net annual earnings to a legal reserve, until the balance reaches 20% of share capital. As of December 31, 2022, the legal reserve totaled R$ 882,575 (R$ 792,533 as of December 31, 2021). This reserve may be used to increase capital or to absorb losses but may not be distributed as dividends. 

 

e.2 Investments statutory reserve

 

In compliance with Article 194 of the Brazilian Corporate Law and Article 54 of the Bylaws, this reserve is aimed to protect the integrity of the Company’s assets and to supplement its share capital, in order to allow new investments to be made. As provided for in its bylaws, the Company may allocate up to 75% of the annual net income, after deducting the legal reserve, 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$ 5,228,561 as of December 31, 2022 (R$ 4,073,876 as of December 31, 2021). Under article 199 of Brazilian Corporate Law, the next general meeting will resolve on the excess of the profit reserve over the share capital.

h. Capital reserve

 

The capital reserve reflects the gain on the transfer of shares at market price used in the Deferred Stock Plan granted to executives of the subsidiaries of the Company, as mentioned in Note 9.c.

Because of Extrafarma’s association in 2014 the Company recognized an increase in the capital reserves in the amount of R$ 498,812, due to the difference between the value attributable to share capital and the market value of the Ultrapar shares on the date of issuance, deducted by R$ 2,260 related to the incurred costs directly attributable to issuing new shares. Additionally, on February 24, 2021, August 11, 2021, February 23, 2022 and August 03, 2022 there was an increase in the reserve in the amount of R$ 1,371, R$ 448, R$ 651 and R$ 291, respectively, due to the partial exercise of the subscription warrants – indemnification (see note 24).

(3) Refers substantially to PIS and COFINS credits recorded in 2021 and 2022. On March 15, 2017, due to general repercussions, the STF decided that ICMS does not compose the PIS and COFINS calculation basis. After filing of the Federal Government's Motion for Clarification, the STF definitively ruled about the thesis on May 13, 2021, reaffirming the exclusion of the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis and modulating the effects of the decision for the lawsuits filed after March 15, 2017. Certain subsidiaries have credits arising from favorable decisions on the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis, and the respective subsidies for proving the amounts to be refunded were duly confirmed by Management and recorded in Other operating income (expenses), net in the statement of income.


 

The gain or loss is determined as the difference between the selling price and residual book value of the investment, property, plant and equipment, and intangible asset. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the result was a gain of R$ 169,289 (gain of R$ 184,189 as of December 31, 2021, represented primarily by the sale of ConectCar and properties).

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 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 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 is made by corporate financial board, through its treasury department, with the assistance of the controllership, accounting, legal and tax departments.

 

The monitoring of compliance of the Policy and possible issues is the responsibility of the Financial Risk Committee (“Committee”), which is composed of the CFO, Treasury Director, Controllership Director and other directors to be designated by the CFO, who meet quarterly. The monthly monitoring of Policy standards is responsibility of the CFO.


Approval of the Policy and the periodic assessment of Company exposure to financial risks are subject to the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021



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


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 (Company’s functional currency). 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.

 

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 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.2 Sensitivity analysis of assets and liabilities in foreign currency

 

For the base scenario, the future market curves as of December 31, 2022 were used on the net position of the Company exposed to the currency risk, simulating the effects of appreciation and devaluation of the Real in the statement of income, impacted by the average U.S. dollar of R$ 5.4679 (*) on December 31, 2022 the closing tax considered was R$ 5.2177.

 

The table below shows the effects of the exchange rate changes on the net liability position of R$ 553,839 in foreign currency as of December 31, 2022:

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 5. Borrowings primarily relate to financing from Banco do Brasil, as well as debentures and borrowings in foreign currency, as shown in Note 17.

 

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

 

c.1 Assets and liabilities exposed to floating interest rates

c.2 Sensitivity analysis of floating interest rate risk

 

For the sensitivity analysis of floating interest risks on December 31, 2022, the Company used the market curves of the benchmark indexes (DI, TJLP, LIBOR and SELIC) as a base scenario.

 

The tables below show the incremental expenses and income that would be recognized in finance income, if the market curves of floating interest at the base date were applied to the average balances of the current year, due to the effect of floating interest rate.

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 5), and trade receivables (see Note 6).


d.1 Credit risk from 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 analysis 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.

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 individual or corporate customers, 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.

d.4 Price risk

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to commodity price risk, due to the fluctuation in prices for diesel and gasoline, among others. These products are traded on the stock exchange and are subjected to the impacts of macroeconomic and geopolitical factors outside the control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

To mitigate the risk of the fluctuation of diesel and gasoline prices, the Company and its subsidiaries permanently monitor the market, seeking the protection of price movements through hedge transactions for imports, using contracts of derivative for heating oil (diesel) and RBOB (gasoline) traded on the stock exchange.

 

The table below shows the positions of hedging financial instruments to hedge commodity price risk as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

f. Capital management

 

The Company manages its capital structure based on indicators and benchmarks to ensure business continuity while maximizing return to shareholders by optimizing its debt and capital structure.

 

Capital structure is comprised of net debt (borrowings and financing, including debentures, according to Note 17, after deduction of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, according to Note 5) and equity. 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.

 

Annually, the Company and its subsidiaries revise their capital structure, evaluating the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital including the leverage ratio analysis, which is determined as the ratio between net debt and equity.

 

The leverage ratio at the end of the year is the following:

 

 

 

Consolidated

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.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries will not discontinue hedge accounting if the retrospective assessment of hedge effectiveness is not within the range of 80%-125% and the hedge relationship is subject to interest rate benchmark reforms. For hedge relationships that are not subject to interest rate benchmark reforms, the Company discontinues the hedge accounting if the retrospective effectiveness is not within the range of 80%-125%.

 

h.1 Fair value hedge

 

The Company and its subsidiaries designate as fair value hedges certain financial instruments used to offset the variations in interest and exchange rates, which are based on the market value of financing contracted in Brazilian Reais and U.S. dollars.

The foreign exchange hedging instruments and commodities designated as fair value hedge are as described below and are concentrated in subsidiary IPP. The purpose of this relationship is to transform the cost of the imported product from fixed to variable until fuel blending, as occurs with the price adopted in its sales. IPP carries out these operations with over-the-counter derivatives that are designated in a hedge accounting relationship, as a fair value hedge in an amount equivalent to the inventories of imported product.

h.2 Cash flow hedge


Until March 31, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries had designated, as cash flow hedge for protection against variations arising from exchange rate changes, derivative financial instruments to hedge firm commitments and non-derivative financial instruments to hedge highly probable future transactions.

 

Since April 1, 2022, the exchange rate hedging instruments for highly probable future transactions designated as cash flow hedges, referring to notes in the foreign market, no longer impact the Company and its subsidiaries due to the sale of Oxiteno (totaling US$ 386,787 as of December 31, 2021), and a realized loss was recognized in the statement of income in the amount of R$ 506,375 as of December 31, 2022 (unrealized gain in the amount of R$ 7,880 as of December 31, 2021), net of deferred IRPJ and CSLL. The impacts and balances of cash flow hedge were recognized at Oxiteno, and presented as “Held for sale” and “Discontinued operations”.

 

h.3 Net investment hedge in foreign entities

 

Until March 31, 2022, the Company and its subsidiaries had designated, 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.

 

As of April 1, 2022, the balance of notes in the foreign market designated as net investment hedge in foreign entities, referring to part of the investments made in entities that have a functional currency other than the Brazilian Real, no longer impact the Company and its subsidiaries due to the sale of Oxiteno (totaling US$ 95,000 as of December 31, 2021), and a gain was recognized in “Other comprehensive income” in the amount of R$ 52,837 as of December 31, 2022 (loss of R$ 24,064 as of December 31, 2021), net of deferred IRPJ and CSLL. The effects of exchange rate variation on investments and notes in the foreign market were offset in equity. The impacts and balances of net investments hedge in foreign entities were recognized at Oxiteno, and presented as “Held for sale” and “Discontinued operations”.

Notes to the financial statements


For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021



The fair value of financial instruments, including foreign exchange and interest hedging instruments, was determined as described below:


  • The fair value of cash and banks are identical to their carrying values.
  • Financial investments in investment funds are valued at the fund unit value as of the date of the financial statements, which corresponds to their fair value.
  • Financial investments in CDBs (Bank Certificates of Deposit) and similar instruments offer daily liquidity through repurchase at the “yield curve” and the Company calculates their fair value through methodologies commonly used for mark to market.
  • The fair values of trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying amounts and the Company calculates their fair value through methodologies commonly used in the market.
  • The subscription warrants – indemnification were measured based on the share price of Ultrapar (UGPA3) as of the financial statements date and are adjusted to the Company’s dividend yield, since the exercise is only possible from 2020 onwards and they are not entitled to dividends until then. The number of shares of subscription warrants – indemnification was 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 24).
  • The fair value calculation of notes in the foreign market of Ultrapar International is based on the quoted price in an active market (see Note 17).


The fair value of other financial investments, hedging instruments, 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.

Financial instruments were classified as financial assets or liabilities measured at amortized cost, except for (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 5.b), (ii) loans and financing measured at fair value through profit or loss (see Note 17), (iii) guarantees to customers that have vendor arrangements (see Note 17), 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 24). Cash, banks, trade receivables and reseller financing are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost. Trade payables and other payables are classified as financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

 

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).

 

(c) Level 3 - inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market variables (unobservable inputs).

Message from the Management


2022 was a year of significant advances at Ultrapar. Despite the volatility and uncertainties, Ultragaz and Ultracargo achieved record results, and Ipiranga continued its trajectory of profitability recovery. The focus on the sophistication of pricing and the effort to increase the engagement of our network, together with important changes and operational adjustments in logistics and supplies, placed us at a new level of efficiency, preparing us for a new phase of growth.  

We completed the biggest portfolio rationalization process in our history, with the conclusion of the divestments of Oxiteno and Extrafarma in April and August 2022, respectively. We announced the acquisitions of Stella and NEOgás, which mark Ultragaz's entry into the renewable electricity and compressed natural gas segments, expanding its offer and enhancing its capillarity, commercial strength and brand.

We continued the succession and renewal process of our executive management, and started the succession process in the Board, which will undergo a major renewal in April this year with new members and a new chairman for the term of 2023 to 2025.

In 2022, we made progress on our ESG journey, with the conclusion of the details of the 2030 ESG Plan, intrinsic to each of the businesses strategic plan. The plan makes up 30% of the variable compensation individual goals of Ultrapar's leadership and reveals the Company's commitments, ambitions and targets for the coming years. The disclosure of the targets to the external public will take place in March of this year.

We ended 2022 with net revenues of R$ 147 billion, 24% higher than in 2021 even after the deconsolidation of Oxiteno and Extrafarma from the result, and with revenue growth in all businesses. The Company achieved a recurring EBITDA of R$ 4.0 billion and a net income of R$ 1.8 billion in 2022, of which R$ 506 million should be distributed as dividends and interest on equity to shareholders.

We highlight the reduction in our financial leverage, in good timing considering the macroeconomic context and investment opportunities with good returns, which went from 2.9x on December 31, 2021 to 1.7x on December 31, 2022 due to the combination of the conclusion of the sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma with the operational improvement of all businesses. We used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Oxiteno to pay interest on equity to shareholders and for the partial repurchase of bonds, an additional contribution to optimizing the financial liabilities management, with a reduction in the carrying cost of Ultrapar’s net debt, from 129% of the CDI in 2021 to 109% of the CDI in 2022. We emphasize that there are still receivables related to the divestments totaling approximately R$ 1.1 billion.

In this context, in December we announced our investment plan for 2023, which totals R$ 2.2 billion and exceeds the amounts invested in each of the five last years, with half of the amount allocated to expansion projects at Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo in addition to the support and security of the operating units.

We enter 2023 with engaged team leaders and strengthened businesses to continue our journey of growth and value creation. We thank all our employees for their commitment and dedication throughout the year and our other stakeholders for trusting and contributing to the Company’s improvement.

2022 MANAGEMENT REPORT Graphics


Company profile

Ultrapar holds 85 years of history, with its origins going back to 1937, when Ernesto Igel founded Ultragaz, a company which pioneered the distribution of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as cooking gas. Since then, Ultrapar has become one of the largest business groups of Brazil, with an outstanding position in the energy and infrastructure segments through Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo.

In 1999, Ultrapar simultaneously conducted an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão – B3). Since 2011, the Company’s shares have been listed on B3’s Novo Mercado segment.

Ultragaz

Pioneer company and leader in the distribution of LPG in Brazil, it is a reference in innovation and has been expanding its offer of energy solutions for its customers. It serves more than 11 million households and 59 thousand business customers in a safe, efficient and sustainable way.

Ultracargo

The leading company in the sector of independent liquid bulk storage terminals in Brazil, Ultracargo is present in the country’s main ports with modern terminals to store and handle different products, such as fuels, biofuels, chemicals, corrosives and vegetable oils.

Ipiranga

One of the largest Brazilian fuels and lubricants distribution companies and one of the most valuable brands in the country, with a network of more than 6.7 thousand service stations, in addition to 1.6 thousand AmPm stores, the largest convenience store franchise in Brazil.


Innovation

Ultrapar has 85 years of history and has been improving its management model, with increasing agility, adapting to the transformations through a more complementary and synergistic business portfolio. Innovation permeates the Company's culture and, in 2022, its businesses made significant progress in their initiatives, focusing on their respective markets. To further promote the innovative mindset, Ultrapar’s Innovation Committee organized, for the second consecutive year, an online event for more than 700 leaders of the Holding and the businesses to discuss the innovation initiatives in Energy and Sustainability theme. The event featured presentations by professionals from other companies, in addition to startups and round tables with internal leaders.

Through UVC Investimentos, the corporate venture capital fund of Ultrapar, the Company invests in innovative companies that are complementary or have disruptive potential in relation to its businesses. Since its creation in 2020, the fund has already made 10 investments. UVC’s prospecting strategy is mainly focused on the verticals of renewable energy, sustainability (decarbonization), mobility and new convenience retail solutions. Some of the investments made on these fronts have taken the form of strategic partnerships, such as the startup Stella, which was invested by UVC in 2021 and acquired by Ultragaz in 2022, in addition to commercial partnerships, such as the partnership with Voltz, an electric motorcycle company, through the sale of electric tricycles for Ultragaz and the installation of electric motorcycle battery exchange stations at Ipiranga’s service stations.

At Ultragaz, the innovation initiatives seek to get closer to end consumers and strengthen the relationship with customers, through a greater offer of energy solutions, sales by applications, marketplaces and digital transformation actions. On the new LPG solutions front, Ultragaz developed the Shared Laundry concept, in partnership with OMO Lavanderias, offering more practicality and resource savings to condominiums by reducing energy consumption and washing products. Another example of innovation was the launch of Ultragaz Secagem de Grãos that uses temperature and humidity sensors to control the grains drying process, replacing traditional fuels such as firewood and diesel with LPG, generating savings in energy consumption and maintenance time, in addition to emitting less greenhouse gases.

2022 MANAGEMENT REPORT Graphics

Ultragaz has developed apps that support the management of products and relationships with partners and customers. The AmigU last mile digital delivery app guarantees that orders are directed to the nearest deliveryman, allowing the customer to follow the route in real time, and has more than 10 thousand downloads with deliverymen connected in more than 900 cities across Brazil. Meu Aplicativo Parceiro (MAP), a self-service tool for the reseller's relationship with Ultragaz, has 6 thousand connected partners, while the Ultragaz application, a relationship tool with the end consumer, already has more than 3 million downloads in more than 600 Brazilian cities. Additionally, attentive to its value chain, Ultragaz entered into a partnership with Voltz to offer 500 electric tricycles to its resellers, reducing greenhouse gas emissions when delivering LPG bottles. This culture of innovation led to an increase of 53 positions from 2021 to 2022 in the Valor Inovação Award, which positioned Ultragaz among the 100 most innovative companies in Brazil.

In 2022, Ultracargo advanced in the development of SOUL (Ultracargo Operations System), an operational management model focused on continuous process improvement, waste reduction, and optimization of the terminal operation model. At the same time, Ultracargo strengthened Conecta, a digital transformation program to improve systems and processes, optimize gains in the supply chain, and improve the service level provided to customers. Both programs enabled reduction of costs, optimization of purchases and improvement on cost management, enhancing Ultracargo's operating efficiency. In Santos (state of São Paulo), for example, there was a 10% reduction in the average time of road transportation; in Itaqui (state of Maranhão), there was an 8% increase in productivity per ton handled per employee; and, in Aratu (state of Bahia), Ultracargo recorded a 7% increase in productivity per ton handled per employee. The Vila do Conde (state of Pará) terminal, whose operations began at the end of 2021, already has Conecta in place, and its productivity has been evolving at levels similar to those of the other terminals.

Ipiranga, in partnership with Voltz, implemented, in 2022, a pilot project of electric motorcycle battery exchange points in more than 20 service stations through Turbo. Bringing even more technology and solutions to the business, Ipiranga created Conecta in 2020, originally as an online data transmission system for service stations and franchises. In 2022, this concept expanded to a platform that delivers benefits to resellers, with integrated products and services, allowing for greater operational efficiency in the day-to-day management of the service station, in addition to reducing costs and increasing revenues. Conecta is a competitive differential for productivity and for generating new opportunities. For the second consecutive year, Turbo earned Ipiranga 1st place in the Retail and Distribution category of the 100 Open Startups 2022 ranking, appearing for the first time in the TOP 20 of the general ranking.


ESG Strategy

Sustainability is seen as a journey which is part of Ultrapar's culture and way of being. As it is an essential theme for the continuity of the businesses, it is continually improved and is part of the strategies of the businesses, aimed at generating long-term value for the stakeholders.

The seven material topics of Ultrapar and its businesses cover the three ESG (environmental, social and governance) pillars and represent relevant matters to which the Company directs its efforts, seeks to mitigate risks and foster opportunities:

  • Energy transition: plan and implement strategies aimed at transitioning to a low-carbon economy.
  • Eco-efficient operations: ensure a level of excellence in the operations’ environmental management, ensuring the efficient use of natural resources and optimizing waste management.
  • Responsibility with the community: act responsibly towards the surrounding communities, generating opportunities for the local development.
  • Value chain: influence, encourage and monitor the adoption of best ESG practices in the businesses’ value chain.
  • Inclusive culture and diversity: continuously promote an inclusive environment that aims at the integral development of people, diversity and equity.
  • Safety and health: ensure a solid culture of safety and health, with processes and indexes at a level of excellence, guaranteeing quality of life for employees.
  • Governance and integrity: to be a protagonist in governance and integrity, influencing the businesses’ environment in the adoption of best practices and ethical conduct.

In 2022, Ultrapar took an important step in its ESG journey by defining its goals for 2030 (2030 ESG Plan), which are directly linked to the strategy of the businesses. Due to the importance of the topic for the Company's perpetuity, the sustainability goals were included in the composition of the executive compensation, representing 30% of the variable compensation individual goals.

The internal launch of these goals took place in August 2022, at a hybrid event held at Ultrapar's headquarters with the participation of employees from the whole Company. The plan was presented by Ultrapar's main executives, who detailed each of the material topics, discussing the strategy to achieve the Company's intended ambition for 2030. The disclosure of the goals to the external public will take place in a virtual event in March 2023.

2022 MANAGEMENT REPORT Graphics

Management of sustainability in businesses

Each of Ultrapar's businesses has its own materiality matrix. The topics are aligned with the Company's priorities and take into consideration the specifics from their industries and the level of maturity of each business in each topic.

In 2022, Ultragaz consolidated its ESG Journey – Ultragaz More Sustainable, grounded on four drivers for the company, broken down into ten strategic objectives. These drivers are the energies that guide its actions: Ethical Energy (value for investors and society), Human Energy (value for employees), Energy to Innovate (value for suppliers, customers, partner resellers and the planet) and Citizen Energy (value for communities).

2022 marked the adhesion of Ultracargo to the UN Global Compact, reinforcing its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, Ultracargo was among the 25% best evaluated companies in Ecovadis, the largest sustainability evaluation platform in the world, receiving the silver medal. This was also the year in which Ultracargo's sustainability governance was consolidated, with the creation of its Sustainability Committee, which includes the participation of the company's main executives and specialists.

Sustainability management continuous to advance at Ipiranga, encouraging so that decisions take into consideration ESG aspects, with the company's commitment expressed in one of the cultural attributes. On a daily basis, leaders from different areas are responsible for managing action plans with monthly reports on progress and challenges encountered. Sustainability was also taken to the Ipiranga sales convention, through lectures with external guests and in the speeches of the main executives, impacting more than 5 thousand people, including resellers and franchisees. The advances implemented in the last three years in the ESG agenda were essential for Ipiranga to be recognized with 1st place in the Merco ESG Responsibility Ranking in the Energy category.

In order to reinforce its commitment to sustainability and strengthen the initiatives carried out in the ESG pillars, not only Ultrapar, but also Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Ipiranga are currently signatories to the United Nations (UN) Global Compact, which reiterates the commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and the principles of the Pact, such as human and labor rights, environment and the fight against corruption.

ESG ratings and indexes

Ultrapar integrates a set of indexes and ratings, with indicators and metrics that follow international standards, and classify organizations according to ESG criteria. Some of them are:

  • MSCI ESG (Morgan Stanley Capital International), which ratings range from leader (AAA, AA), average (A, BBB, BB) to laggard (B, CCC). Ultrapar's current rating is AA.
  • FTSE4Good, which grants scores out of a scale from 0 to 5 for each ESG factor (environmental, social and governance). Ultrapar reached an average score of 3 and is part of two indexes: FTSE4Good Emerging Index and FTSE4Good Emerging Latin America Index.

Environmental performance

Energy transition

Ultrapar’s operations in the energy and infrastructure sectors, through Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Ipiranga, justify the relevance of energy transition as one of the material topics. The Company is aware of the changes needed for a more sustainable world, and part of this path becomes reality through the actions taken to mitigate the impacts of its operations on the environment, focusing on using its businesses platform to contribute with the agenda of energy transition in Brazil.

Ultrapar’s businesses have evolved in the implementation of measures to reduce and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in operations. With innovation, technological development, investments, new business models and partnerships with other companies and organizations, the Company has been working on three main fronts: (i) performance, to ensure the reduction of absolute scope 1 and scope 2 emissions; (ii) products, analyzing the impact of emissions throughout the value chain and developing strategies to monitor and evolve in customer and consumer demand; and (iii) portfolio, considering the potential gain in energy efficiency, reduction of emissions, and alignment with the challenges for the country's energy transition on investment decisions.

Ultragaz informed the acquisition of Stella in September 2022, a technology platform that connects renewable electricity generators with customers, in the form of distributed generation. In November 2022, it also informed the acquisition of NEOgás, a pioneer company in the transport of compressed natural gas in Brazil and a market leader, with great potential for the distribution of biomethane, a renewable gas. The acquisitions mark Ultragaz's entry into the electricity and compressed natural gas distribution segments, respectively, and reinforce the strategy of expanding the offer of energy solutions to customers, using Ultragaz's capillarity, commercial strength and brand. Ultragaz also adhered to the Climate Commitment program, promoted by the Ekos Institute, to encourage a low-carbon economy.

2022 MANAGEMENT REPORT Graphics


Ultracargo earned the silver seal in its first year reporting in the GHG Protocol Program, which encourages companies and governments to understand, quantify and manage their greenhouse gas emissions through a platform for public recording of emissions. Moreover, Ultracargo has multipurpose terminals and is constantly evaluating opportunities to become an important logistics platform for the transition to a low-carbon economy. In 2022, 9% of the products handled at its terminals were biofuels.

Ipiranga is carbon neutral in its operation, offsetting all direct emissions (scope 1) and those linked to electricity consumption (scope 2). This initiative is part of the greenhouse gas emissions management program, which also includes fronts for monitoring and reducing emissions. For the tenth consecutive year, Ipiranga received the gold seal of the GHG Protocol Program in 2022, a recognition for companies that disclose an audited greenhouse gases inventory. In addition, in the first quarter of 2022, Ipiranga participated as a sponsor in the study Net Zero 2050 Commercial Transport: Paths for the Decarbonization of the Road Modal in Brasil, promoted by the UN Global Compact Brazil Network and companies.

Eco-efficient operations

In 2022, Ultragaz developed the standard base concept, seeking to standardize the infrastructure of all its bases, prioritizing efficiency and sustainability. The last two new operational bases in the North and Northeast regions, in Belém (state of Pará) and Fortaleza (state of Ceará), have already been built considering sustainability aspects, with state-of-the-art technologies, such as the reduction of heat islands, reduction of water use, prevention of damage to the environment and storage and collection of recyclable materials. In addition, Ultragaz made progress in the disposal of waste generated in operations, reducing the amount sent to landfills by 50%.

In logistics, the vehicles that make up Ultragaz's light fleet gradually began to be filled up with ethanol, reaching around 96% of vehicles in 2022, and reducing carbon emissions by 8% (scope 1 emissions). Also looking for cleaner and more sustainable energy alternatives for supplying bottle transport trucks, Ultragaz started pilot projects with two electric, smaller and lighter VUC trucks and with a truck powered by gas, which can be both natural gas or biomethane.

Ultragaz and Ultracargo acquired the International REC Standard certificate of renewable energy from Votorantim Energia, proving that 100% of their energies come from renewable sources, zeroing their indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the purchase of electricity (scope 2 emissions).

At the terminal in Santos (state of São Paulo), Ultracargo started using a new vertical tank cleaning system, that reduces water consumption from 1 thousand liters per hour to just 80 liters per hour, a saving of 92%. In addition to reducing water consumption, the new system does not require an industrial climber, eliminating their exposure to heights, thus generating more safety to the employees involved in the process. The technical committee of ANPEI (National Association for Research and Development of Innovative Companies) Conference on Innovation 2022 selected this project among the 24 winners of the Call for Cases.

Also in 2022, Ultracargo reduced by 43% the volume of waste sent to landfills since the beginning of the calculation in 2020. This result was achieved through employees’ awareness and advances on waste segregation, recycling and composting practices. In November 2022, Ultracargo received the Amigo do Oceano seal from the port of Suape, a recognition that is part of the global initiatives of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for sustainable development.

In 2022, Ipiranga mapped new partners for the disposal of waste from its operational units and drew up guidelines for managing construction site waste aimed at reuse. Ipiranga also participated at the Inova 2030 Dispara program, a partnership between Global Compact Brazil Network and Fundação Dom Cabral, with a pilot project for waste management at operational units, in which 71% of the fuel storage tanks now have a double bottom, an additional barrier that prevents soil contamination in case of leakages in the tank. Like Ultragaz and Ultracargo, Ipiranga also acquired international renewable energy certificates, proving that 100% of its energy comes from renewable sources. In regard to clients, Ipiranga offers support in building engagement campaigns, in addition to technical support through manuals that define the necessary guidelines to prevent accidents from occurring in the fuel loading and unloading process, thus minimizing possible environmental impacts. In 2022, Ipiranga expanded the solar plants project in distributed generation, totaling 15 regions that will benefit the network with more than 60 GWh/year of clean energy for around 900 service stations and franchises, in addition to 11 thousand tons of CO2 which will no longer be emitted per year.

Social performance

Responsibility with the community

In 2022, Ultrapar invested R$ 21 million in social actions, with about half of the amount coming from own funds and half from funds under incentive laws. Investments in the surrounding communities generate opportunities for local development and strengthen dialogue between businesses and communities through relationship programs.

In 2022, Ultrapar also held immersive meetings of its Social Acceleration Program, which had the registration of more than 100 volunteers and support to 13 NGOs in their management challenges, maximizing their social impact. In all, more than 400 solutions were proposed, which could positively impact more than 9 thousand people served by the institutions. In addition, in July 2022, Ultrapar entered into a partnership with Amazônia+21 Institute, an organization created by the National Confederation of Industry to promote sustainable and innovative businesses in the Amazon.

In 2022, Ultragaz was selected by recognized Brazilian NGOs and movements for having developed the digital Vale Gás, a secure and traceable solution, with guaranteed distribution capacity all over Brazil, to carry out the initiative promoted by Petrobras in the donation of LPG bottles to families in socially vulnerable situations. This initiative enabled more than 285 thousand families to benefit from a cleaner fuel, the LPG.

Moreover, Ultragaz invested in education projects for children and teenagers, such as Plug Cuca, Alavanca Associação Santo Agostinho (ASA) and Recriarte. Ultragaz also delivered more than 5 thousand items including gallons of mineral water, food and hygiene and cleaning products to the population that suffered from torrential rains in Pernambuco, benefiting around 2 thousand families. In Bahia, also due to the critical situation caused by heavy rains, Ultragaz mobilized 110 resellers throughout the state as collection points for non-perishable food and hygiene and cleaning items to donate to flood victims in the region, at which time it also distributed around 3 thousand basic food baskets to the affected communities in the municipalities of Jaguará, Eunápolis, Jequié and Itabuna.

Reinforcing its commitment to the communities surrounding its operations, in 2022, Ultracargo, in partnership with the Ayrton Senna Institute, carried out the Socio-emotional Dialogues project, which seeks to develop the socio-emotional skills of elementary school students in public schools in São Luís (state of Maranhão). The project trained 130 teachers from 20 schools and impacted more than 7 thousand students. Through the culture incentive law, Ultracargo sponsored the Water Planet on Stage 4 project, in Barcarena (state of Pará), which works on environmental education with theatrical presentations and distribution of children's books with the same theme. The presentations were held in public schools in the region for about a thousand children.

In 2022, the Integrate Art and Life project began, promoted by the National Sports Association and the National Association for Development, Sports and Education, sponsored by the sport incentive law. The project offers cultural and sports workshops for young people aged 6 to 17, after school, seeking to reduce school dropout at the Alemoa complex in Santos (state of São Paulo). At the end of 2022, Ultracargo also entered into a partnership with the Cactus Association, an organization that transforms the reality of public school students through the teaching of mathematics. The project is already active in Cabo de Santo Agostinho and Ipojuca (state of Pernambuco). In these locations, Ultracargo, in partnership with Ultrapar, donated, in June, more than 1 thousand basic food baskets and hygiene kits, 3 thousand liters of drinking water and mattresses to the communities affected by the heavy rains that hit Pernambuco, in addition to rubber boots for the SAMU, which worked to rescue the victims.

Ipiranga launched, in August 2022, the Woman Operation program, which offers training for production operators, with pedagogical support from SENAI, and aims to increase the employability of women. 20% of the participants were hired, still in 2022, and 85% of the participants completed the classes. Additionally, the Health on the Road Program had another edition in 2022, offering medical care and services to truck drivers, drivers, travelers and communities close to Ipiranga's highway service stations in 22 states. There were more than 26 thousand free consultations, such as medical consultations, exams and vaccines, and around 80 events, in addition to actions to raise awareness about alcohol consumption and sexually transmitted diseases.

Ipiranga also supported two projects through tax incentive laws, impacting 770 children in the states of Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul, in addition to encouraging the restoration of the Ipiranga Museum located in São Paulo (state of São Paulo) and reopened in 2022. Also, attentive to the emergency needs of the surrounding areas, Ipiranga donated more than 2 thousand basic food baskets to victims of the rains in southern Bahia, Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro, with the support from NGOs operating in the regions.

Considering all the initiatives, more than 2.6 thousand hours of volunteer work were donated by Ipiranga’s employees in social actions throughout Brazil.

Value chain

Ultrapar’s value chain management focuses on encouraging suppliers, resellers and other businesses partners to comply with the legal requirements related to the protection of human rights, labor and environmental practices, ethics, and health and safety. In order to reduce reputational risks, in 2022 the Ethics and Integrity Program carried out more than 13 thousand reputation surveys for suppliers, service providers and the Company's franchisees.

In 2022, the Purchasing Governance area was created, responsible for supporting the interaction between the supplier and the contract technical manager, in addition to the development of the Ultra Supplier Booklet, which provides information on measurement processes and the submission of invoices and payments, in addition to indicating the way to the supplier questions channel, reducing relationship risks and encouraging participants to adopt the best management practices on the subject.

2022 MANAGEMENT REPORT Graphics

Also in 2022, Ultragaz advanced in the relationship with its resellers’ partners, reorganizing and segmenting the service model for this public. Ultragaz's Reseller Excellence Lapidar Challenge Program, a partner qualification program that values and rewards the journey of each reseller, showed better qualification of resellers by reaching, in 2022, 214 resellers classified in the gold category. To further strengthen the relationship with resellers, 34 meetings were held in the regions of Brazil where the partners’ network is present. At these meetings, Ultragaz showcased its initiatives, latest innovations and its ESG journey, reinforcing the company's strategy. In addition, Ultragaz also carried out workshops with around 90 suppliers selected for the customer engagement program Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), resulting in greater adherence to the program.

Ultracargo maintained, in 2022, a plan for the approval of its suppliers, which verifies aspects on the social, environmental and governance fronts. In addition, Ulltracargo built the Responsible Sourcing Booklet, published in December and made available on its sourcing platform, making its acceptance mandatory for new contracts.

One of the focuses of Ipiranga in 2022 was to reinforce proximity to customers and resellers. To this end, Ipiranga invested in closer relations with business partners, with actions planned throughout the year, such as (i) visits by the CEO and various executives to resellers and customers, traveling throughout Brazil from North to South, (ii) holding the sales convention in the on-site format, lasting 2 days and having the attendance of more than 5 thousand people, and (iii) reactivation of the Million Club program, which promotes recognition and relationship with resellers. With the aim of improving management and customer service at resellers, Ipiranga entered into a partnership with Estácio de Sá University, launching a technological degree in Management of Ipiranga’s Service Stations with specific courses applicable to the management of service stations.

With a focus on disseminating ESG practices to suppliers, in 2022 Ipiranga updated its Supplier Policy and the Supplier Sustainability Booklet, which indicate the socio-environmental guidelines that must be complied with by the partners. Also in 2022, Ipiranga mapped critical suppliers and revised contractual clauses with ESG themes, reinforcing the need to comply with previously assessed compliance requirements, subject to audits during the contract.

Inclusive culture and diversity

To accelerate transformations in its Holding, Ultrapar created in 2022 the Diversity Committee, which defined a strategic and tactical plan focused on 7 themes: selection process, development and career, leadership preparation, discrimination, general representativeness, organizational environment and corporate positioning. Moreover, the Company promoted an event with its female leadership, which was attended by board  members Ana Paula Vescovi and Flávia Buarque de Almeida. A climate survey was once more carried out in partnership with Great Place to Work (GPTW), with 87% of employees joining. The result assured Ultrapar GPTW's Best Workplaces certification for the second consecutive year.

In the current composition of the Board of Directors, the highest governance body, 60% of the directors are independent and 20% are women, so that for the period 2021-2023, Ultrapar holds the Women on Board (WOB) certification, awarded by an independent initiative supported by UN Women to companies that have at least two women on the Board of Directors.

In 2022, several actions were carried out that affirm Ultrapar's and its businesses’ commitment in promoting an increase in diversity and an inclusive environment. It is worth highlighting the adhesion of Ultrapar, Ultragaz, Ultracargo and Ipiranga to the Citizen Company Program, extending parental leave periods for employees, with maternity leave extended to 180 days and paternity leave to 20 days. The benefit is also applied to cases of adoption and same-sex couples, and in the latter case, the employee can choose between maternity or paternity leave.

Ultragaz disclosed its positioning in Diversity and Inclusion, with the strategic priorities and pillars of action in the theme. In terms of training, Ultragaz offered mentorships to women in leadership positions in operations and sales, and training for leaders in unconscious biases, PwD, gender equity and toxic masculinity. In addition, in order to welcome diversity since the attraction of new talents, Ultragaz has strengthened its recruitment and selection guidelines, considering race, PwD and women in its operation through prioritization actions on the selection processes.

Ultracargo started, in September 2022, another edition of the Operational Training Program, providing 25 positions for residents around the Aratu Terminal (state of Bahia). The course is offered free of charge and seeks to contribute to the professional development of residents, in addition to fostering diversity in the company, with over 50% of participants in this edition being female.

In addition to talent development and employee engagement, Ipiranga stands out for its diversity and inclusion in hiring practices, with 58% of job opportunities of its trainee program being filled by women in 2022; 17% by black and brown-skinned people and 33% by LGBTQIA+ people, while its internship program had 63% of job opportunities filled by black and brown-skinned people. In the commercial area, Ipiranga launched Construa, a Program for the Development of Administrative Consultants, exclusively for people with disabilities. Women Speed, an action for the development of women for the leadership pipeline, currently in its second edition, promoted 33% of the program's participants throughout the year.

Safety and health

Ensuring a safe environment for all employees and communities surrounding businesses operations is also one of the commitments undertaken by the Company. Ultrapar and its businesses have active health and safety management systems, through which indicators such as accidents, occupational diseases and leaves are monitored, in addition to the evolution of different related procedures and programs.

Although safety management is carried out directly by the businesses, the issue is dealt with in an integrated manner by Ultrapar through the Safety Committee, which meets periodically on an annual predetermined agenda, alternately led by one of the businesses’ CEOs. In 2022, the Committee addressed, among other topics, the Plan for the Transformation of Culture in Safety, making it a recurring and mandatory agenda at Board of Directors meetings, in addition to being present at all leadership meetings.

Ultragaz has been investing on several fronts to guarantee a safe environment in its operations. In 2022, the company expanded the monitoring of the loading and unloading process, reinforced internal procedures and those with its service providers, and is testing new automation of its processes. The digitization of the relationship with its customers and greater logistical efficiency also reduced the number of trips, reducing exposure to accidents. Moreover, Ultragaz revisited its Safety Program, reinforcing the behavioral safety pillar. In health management, Ultragaz, through the Valorize Program, has been encouraging its employees, especially in the risk group, to adhere to health and quality of life programs.

All terminals of Ultracargo (except for the Vila do Conde terminal, which started operations at the end of 2021) are ISO 45001 certified (occupational health and safety). The Ultracargo Operations System (SOUL) and the Digital Transformation Program (Conecta) also contribute to an efficient safety management at the company. In 2022, R$ 25 million were invested in safety and integrity, and the Rules that Save Lives, commandments that aim to prevent accidents and strengthen the safety culture, were launched.

Ipiranga’s Health, Safety, Environment, Quality and Social Responsibility (SIGA+) Management system establishes all procedures, controls and training necessary for risk management at operational units and undergoes regular audits. The system aims to reduce the risk of operating with fuels, ensuring the safety of employees and the community, in addition to protecting the environment and preserving assets.

The safety theme was further reinforced in 2022 at Ipiranga with the launch of the Golden Rules, which establish the inviolable principles that must be followed by the employees and the service providers. Also in 2022, Ipiranga was recognized with the Yellow Bow award, for the Yellow May campaign, in partnership with Pró-Frotas, in favor of raising awareness about traffic safety involving employees, carriers, drivers, customers and consumers, impacting more than 10 million people.

In health management, Ultrapar has health programs aimed at specific audiences with the objective of directing and individualizing care and prevention, among which are the Future Mother Program, which guides pregnant women in relation to prenatal and newborn nutrition, and the Only Mind Program, which seeks the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of psychological illnesses. Ultracargo launched in the second half of 2022 the Cuidar Bem program, bringing together actions aimed at physical and mental health, as well as the quality of life of employees and their families, while Ipiranga maintained a partnership with a virtual well-being platform, through which it is possible to consult with specialists and have access to content on self-care, self-knowledge and meditation.

Governance and integrity

Graphics


Ethics and transparency are lifelong values of Ultrapar, which is recognized for its integrity and adherence to the best governance practices. In addition to strong businesses guiding principles, the Company has a dedicated framework for risks, integrity and audit topics that covers all its businesses.

The Risks, Integrity and Audit department has reporting levels according to each of its competencies. The area is linked administratively to Ultrapar’s CEO, being responsible for the integrated risk management, the Integrity Program maintenance and for the internal audit. It reports to the Audit and Risks Committee of the Board of Directors in the management of corporate risks, in the consolidation of information and controls, and in the conduction of the general internal audit process.

The Audit and Risks Committee, implemented in 2019, has the function of advising the Board of Directors in supervising (i) the integrity and quality of the Company's financial statements, (ii) the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the qualifications and independence of the independent auditor, (iv) the performance of the Company's internal audit functions (represented by the Risks, Integrity and Audit department) and independent auditors, and (v) the risk management. The Audit and Risks Committee has three members, all independent directors of the Company.

Since 2004, Ultrapar has maintained a Conduct Committee to improve and monitor the Company's Integrity Program. Among its duties, the highlights are: (i) managing the Code of Ethics enforcement, its guidelines and related policies; (ii) overseeing the enforcement and effectiveness of the principles provided by the Code of Ethics; (iii) reviewing and approving the Integrity Program and overseeing its enforcement, (iv) recommending proper disciplinary measures for the topics the Committee deals with that shall be adopted by Ultrapar's bodies as well as resolve on whether it is necessary to discuss the issue with the Company’s Audit and Risks Committee or the Board of Directors. The Conduct Committee has an external and independent president and a member of the Board of Directors.

Integrated Risks Management

The risk management structure coordinates Ultrapar's integrated analysis of strategic risks, with a direct interface with each business, making the process comprehensive and with specific industry characteristics.

The Systemic Risk Matrix comprises themes which cover the leading threats to the operations of the businesses and are grouped into five families with an interdependent look and dynamic evaluations. The Corporate Risks Management Policy was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors in November 2021, reinforcing Ultrapar's corporate governance structure.

The discussions take place on a structured and independent basis at each business, covering topics of internal and external risks, evaluating scenarios quantified in terms of impact and vulnerability, and generating mitigating action plans.

Internal and External Audits

Linked to the Risks, Integrity and Audit department, the internal audit is responsible for verifying the internal procedures and controls of the businesses, identifying opportunities for improvement in the risk management process that contribute to the updating of the risks map and the Integrity Program. The area also performs internal financial and operational audits according to the plan approved annually by the Audit and Risks Committee and performs effectiveness tests of internal controls as part of the process of the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) certification, a requirement for the financial statements published in the United States market.

The external audit firm is responsible for auditing the Company's financial statements, which consider the understanding of the internal controls that are relevant to the process of preparing the financial statements and carrying out the necessary procedures to issue the independent auditor’s report on the individual and consolidated financial statements.

Integrity

Ultrapar has an Integrity Program guided by the Code of Ethics, which contains guidelines approved by the Board of Directors and is supervised by the Conduct Committee.

Ultrapar's Integrity area sets annual themes for communication and training, such as fighting corruption, good competition practices, conflicts of interest, fighting harassment, discrimination, among others, aiming at strengthening the Company's integrity culture.

With a focus on evolving the organization's culture, dialogues on integrity have been intensified for greater understanding by employees of the theme. Training was extended to business partners and critical third parties, encouraging ethical behavior in commercial relationships. These actions address the attention points captured in the integrity culture diagnosis, which is carried out by an independent company that evaluates the effectiveness of Ultrapar's Integrity Program actions. In the last survey, carried out in 2020, the organization was classified in the initial proactive profile, the second most advanced profile in the Hearts & Minds Matrix. The goal is to evolve and reach the generative profile of this Matrix in the coming years, and all businesses have intensified integrity actions.

In 2022 an event was held to relaunch the Code of Ethics and the Corporate Policy on Anti-corruption and Relationship with Public and Private Agents, and a new training was made available to employees, reinforcing the guidelines of the updated documents.

Ultragaz reinforced the awareness and the culture of integrity with the creation of the Ethical Contact, which consists of content prepared for leadership to use in conversations with teams, taking examples to a more practical look at ethics issues on daily life. Additionally, an Integrity Campaign was developed, which addressed topics such as harassment, competition aspects, prejudice, relationship with suppliers, corruption and discrimination, based on testimonials from the operation's own employees, bringing up personal situations that each one has already experienced. The competitive aspect was also reinforced through training carried out with the internal public and with resellers’ partners.

Ultracargo worked on the culture of integrity by carrying out various actions throughout the year for all job levels and locations, with emphasis on the Commitment to Integrity Week, which had the participation of 345 employees in face-to-face conversations, in addition to awareness communications with practical examples of conduct on ethical dilemmas.

Ipiranga spread the culture with conversation circles in specific areas and carried out trainings on legislation and good competition practices for its internal public and resellers. Ipiranga created an integrity dialogue program for operational facilities, reaching more than 700 employees every month, with 12 topics related to ethical conduct, gifts, donations and sponsorships, safety, sustainability, diversity and inclusion, among others. Ipiranga included a training dedicated to business ethics and integrity in practice on the annual sales convention agenda, reinforcing the ethical commitment with 150 leaders and hundreds of resellers.

In the third-party pillar of the Program, the highlight is the reputational research process, a step prior to contracting suppliers and commercial partners. In 2022, 13 thousand surveys were carried out, which verified whether future partners adhere to Ultrapar's precepts of ethics and integrity, minimizing reputational and financial risks.

Finally, the Integrity Program provides the Open Channel, a secure way for all public to ask questions or report suspected actions of non-compliance with the law and Ultrapar's policies. Managed by an independent external company, the Open Channel is available to employees and stakeholders and receives, in Brazil and abroad, requests for guidance on ethics and integrity and notifications about possible deviations from the Code of Ethics and corporate policies. The reports can be made anonymously and are forwarded to the Risks, Integrity and Audit department, responsible for independent negotiations, with the support of the Conduct Committee. The Company prohibits retaliation against good faith whistleblowers. In 2022 the channel received 463 reports, indicating the trust placed on the channel.

With regard to information security and data privacy of employees, customers, consumers, suppliers, business partners and other audiences, Ultrapar follows the guidelines of the Privacy and Personal Data Protection Corporate Policy and the Information Security Policy.

 Capital markets

Ultrapar’s combined average daily financial volume on B3 and NYSE totaled R$ 111 million/day in 2022 (-30% vs 2021).

2022 MANAGEMENT REPORT Graphics


The beginning of 2022 was marked by volatility in the capital markets, rising prices of commodities and rising inflation around the world, mainly due to a new wave of COVID-19 and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, factors that resulted in interest rate increases and greater risk perception by investors. In Brazil, despite the challenging global scenario, the reopening of the economy after the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus pandemic in 2021, added to the stimulus packages, the evolution of public accounts and financial support policies for the population contributed to the improvement of the economy’s performance and to the appreciation of the Real. GDP for 2022 should register a growth close to 3%, according to the Focus report of 01/06/2023.

The fuel distribution market (gasoline, ethanol and diesel) grew by 3% compared to 2021, with an increase of 4% in the Otto cycle and 2% in diesel, according to ANP data. The volume of the Otto cycle was favored by the greater circulation of people, which in 2021 was reduced due to the restriction measures imposed by the pandemic, while the volume of diesel followed the better performance of the economy.

In the LPG market, total volume fell by 1% compared to 2021, according to ANP data, with a 2% reduction in the bottled segment, due to lower market demand, attenuated by the 3% increase in the bulk segment, in line with the country's economic growth.

The liquid bulk storage sector at independent terminals (ABTL) grew by 11% in 2022, mainly driven by higher consumption of liquid fuels, 5% higher than in 2021, an increase of 14% in imports, 44% in vegetable oils and 11% in corrosives. In addition to the good performance of the previously mentioned product groups, Transpetro reduced its share in national handling, making room for other terminals.


Considerations on the financial and operational information

In May and August 2021, the sale agreements of Extrafarma and Oxiteno were signed, respectively, according to the Material Notices disclosed at the time. On December 31st, 2021, Ultrapar classified these businesses as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations. The sale of Oxiteno was concluded on April 1st, 2022, and thus ceased to be part of discontinued operations and Ultrapar's results as of 2Q22. The sale of Extrafarma was concluded on August 1st, 2022, and its results are shown within discontinued operations until this date. In this report, the financial information related to Ultrapar corresponds to the consolidated information (pro forma) of the Company, that is, the data considers the sum of continuing and discontinued operations, unless otherwise indicated.

The financial information presented on this document were extracted from the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Information on Ultragaz, Ultracargo, Oxiteno, Ipiranga and Extrafarma are presented without the elimination of intersegment transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to Ultrapar’s consolidated information (pro forma).

Additionally, the financial and operational information presented in this discussion is subject to rounding and, consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables and charts may differ from the direct numerical sum of the amounts that precede them. Information denominated EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income, Depreciation and Amortization); Adjusted EBITDA – adjusted by the amortization of contractual assets with customers – exclusive rights and by the cash flow hedge from bonds; Recurring Adjusted EBITDA – adjusted by non-recurring items; and EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income) is presented in accordance to Resolution 156, issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) on June 23, 2022.

Ultragaz

The volume sold by Ultragaz totaled 1,706 kton in 2022, practically stable in relation to 2021, as a result of a 2% decrease of sales in the bottled segment, due to lower market demand, and the growth of 3% of the bulk segment, mainly due to higher sales for the commercial, services and industries segments.

Net revenues were R$ 11,483 million (+18% vs 2021), due to pass throughs of LPG cost increases. The cost of goods sold totaled R$ 9,446 million (+10% vs 2021), due to the readjustments of LPG costs carried out by Petrobras, higher costs with freight (increase in the diesel price), personnel (collective bargaining agreement) and inputs (inflation), attenuated by the positive effect of R$ 333 million of extraordinary tax credits in 2022.

Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 833 million (+26% vs 2021), due to higher personnel expenses (mainly higher variable compensation, in line with the progression of results, and collective bargaining agreement), freight and higher sales commissions.

Ultragaz registered a record recurring EBITDA of R$ 1,172 million in 2022 (+61% vs 2021), due to better margins, as a result of initiatives to increase efficiency and productivity and a better sales mix, despite higher expenses.

137




Ultracargo

Ultracargo's average static capacity was 955 thousand m³ in 2022 (+9% vs 2021), as a result of the start-up of operations at the terminal in Vila do Conde in December 2021 and the capacity expansion in Itaqui throughout 2021. The m³ sold totaled 13,589 thousand m³ (+8% vs 2021), mainly due to the start-up of operations in Vila do Conde and the higher handling of fuels in Itaqui.

Net revenues totaled R$ 867 million (+22% vs 2021), due to contractual readjustments and higher m³ sold mainly from the previously mentioned capacity expansions. Cost of services provided totaled R$ 341 million (+19% vs 2021), of which about 63% of the increase refers to costs and depreciation of the Vila do Conde terminal (which operations started in December 2021), while the remainder comes from higher depreciation, due to capacity expansions in Itaqui and investments made in the last 2 years, along with the effect of inflation on personnel and inputs.

Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 147 million (+8% vs 2021), resulting from higher personnel expenses (mainly higher variable compensation, in line with the progression of results, and collective bargaining agreement), offset by gains in productivity and efficiency.

Ultracargo reached a record EBITDA of R$ 510 million in 2022 (+29% vs 2021), as a result of the capacity expansions with profitability gains, contractual readjustments and productivity and efficiency gains.

Ipiranga

Ipiranga's sales volume totaled 23,070 thousand m³ in 2022 (+3% vs 2021), with a growth of 3% in diesel and 2% in the Otto cycle.

Net revenues totaled R$ 131,338 million (+32% vs 2021), due to the pass throughs of cost increases of oil derivatives and ethanol, in addition to higher sales volume. The cost of goods sold totaled R$ 126,569 million (+32% vs 2021), due to increased costs of oil derivatives and ethanol arising from the increase in international prices in the last two years, and to higher sales volume, offset by the positive effect of R$ 638 million of extraordinary tax credits in 2022.

Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 2,381 million (+7% vs 2021), resulting from higher personnel expenses (mainly higher variable compensation, in line with the progression of results, and collective bargaining agreement), freight (increase in the diesel price and higher sales volume) and AmPm's company-operated stores, partially offset by the positive net effect of R$ 69 million referring to credits and provisions recorded in 2022 and by the one-off concentration of provisions for contingencies of R$ 88 million in 2021.

The other operating results line recorded a negative R$ 526 million, a worsening of R$ 601 million compared to 2021, mainly due to higher costs with carbon tax credits in the amount of R$ 477 million (R$ 639 million in 2022 vs R$ 161 million in 2021) and the lower constitution of extemporaneous tax credits in the amount of R$ 131 million (R$ 46 million in 2022 vs R$ 177 million in 2021).

The line of results from disposal of assets totaled R$ 169 million (-8% vs 2021), due to the capital gain from the sale of ConectCar of R$ 76 million in 2021, mitigated by the higher result with the sale of real estate assets in 2022.

Ipiranga's recurring EBITDA totaled R$ 2,147 million in 2022 (+24% vs 2021), due to better margins and higher sales volume, mitigated by higher expenses and higher costs with carbon tax credit.

2022 MANAGEMENT REPORT Graphics


Ultrapar recorded net revenues of R$ 146,902 million in 2022 (+24% vs 2021), reflecting the higher revenues of Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo, partially offset by the closing of the sale of Oxiteno in April 2022 and of Extrafarma in August 2022, and their respective deconsolidation from the result. The cost of goods sold and services provided was R$ 138,761 million (+24% vs 2021), due to cost increases at Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo, partially offset by the previously mentioned deconsolidation of Oxiteno and Extrafarma from the result.

Gross profit totaled R$ 8,141 million (+15% vs 2021), due to the increase in aggregate profit of the three main businesses.

Sales, general and administrative expenses totaled R$ 4,316 million (-15% vs 2021), as a result of the deconsolidation of Oxiteno and Extrafarma from the result, mitigated by the inflationary impact in 2022, in addition to specific effects in each of the businesses.

The line of other operating results recorded R$ 506 million negative, a decrease of R$ 629 million compared to 2021, mainly reflecting higher costs with carbon tax credits and the lower constitution of extemporaneous tax credits at Ipiranga.

The line of results from disposal of assets totaled R$ 407 million (+122% vs 2021), mainly due to the capital gain from the sale of Oxiteno of R$ 289 million in 2022 and the higher result with the sale of real estate assets at Ipiranga, offset by the capital gain from the sale of ConectCar of R$ 76 million in 2021.

In 2021, an effect of R$ 428 million was recorded in the “impairment” line referring to the impairment of assets at Extrafarma, resulting from the signing of the sale agreement to Pague Menos.

Ultrapar's recurring EBITDA totaled R$ 3,987 million in 2022 (+6% vs 2021), due to the higher EBITDAs of Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo, attenuated by the deconsolidation of Oxiteno and Extrafarma from the result.

Total costs and expenses with depreciation and amortization¹ were R$ 1,693 million (+2% vs 2021), due to investments made over the periods and higher amortization of contractual assets at Ipiranga, despite the deconsolidations of Oxiteno and Extrafarma from the result.

¹ Includes amortization of assets from contracts with customers – exclusive rights

Ultrapar had a net financial expense² of R$ 1,465 million, compared to a net financial expense of R$ 1,086 million in 2021, mainly reflecting (i) the higher CDI rate, despite the lower average balance and lower cost of net debt, and (ii) the negative temporary result of R$ 384 million of mark-to-market of hedges in 2022 compared to the negative result of R$ 325 million in 2021, due to the increase in interest curves and exchange rates throughout the year.

² Includes result of the cash flow hedge from bonds

Ultrapar's net income totaled R$ 1,840 million in 2022 (+108% vs 2021), due to higher EBITDA, despite the increase in net financial expenses and in depreciation and amortization.

Results from the Holding, abastece and other companies

Ultrapar recorded a negative result of R$ 216 million in the 2022 (vs R$ 258 million negative in 2021), comprised of (i) R$ 175 million negative EBITDA from the Holding, (ii) R$ 62 million negative EBITDA from abastece aí, due to expenses with personnel and technology, and (iii) R$ 20 million positive EBITDA from other companies, mainly due to the better result of Riograndense Refinery.

Indebtedness

Ultrapar ended 2022 with a total net debt of R$ 6,689 million (1.7x Adjusted EBITDA LTM³) compared to R$ 11,691 million on December 31st, 2021 (2.9x Adjusted EBITDA LTM³). The reduction in the net debt between the periods is mainly due to the closing of the sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma throughout 2022, partially offset by the worsening of the financial result. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Oxiteno was used to pay interest on equity to shareholders and to partially repurchase the bonds, also reducing Ultrapar's gross debt and the cost of carrying of the net debt, which went from 129% of the CDI in 2021 to 109% of the CDI in 2022. The financial leverage reduction reflects the reduction of the net debt and the growth in EBITDA of the businesses. It is worth mentioning that there are receivables not yet included in Ultrapar's net debt related to the sales (i) of Oxiteno (US$ 150 million to be received in April 2024) and (ii) of Extrafarma (R$ 365 million, monetarily adjusted based on CDI + 0.5% p.a., to be received in two installments, the first in August 2023 and the second in August 2024).

³ LTM Adjusted EBITDA ​​does not include (i) impairments of Extrafarma and capital gain from the sale of ConectCar for Dec/21, (ii) closing adjustments with the sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma, LTM result of Oxiteno and Extrafarma and extraordinary tax credits for Dec/22

Investments

                                                                                            Graphics

In 2022, Ultrapar's investments, net of divestments and receipts, totaled R$ 1.8 billion, a 2% decrease compared to the amount invested in 2021. Disregarding the investments made in Oxiteno and Extrafarma in both periods, the total invested in 2022 was 12% higher than in 2021, mainly due to higher investments in Ipiranga, partially offset by lower investments in Ultracargo. Of the 2023 investment plan, R$ 1.0 billion refer to investments to expand the businesses.

Ultragaz invested R$ 355 million in 2022, directed mainly to the acquisition and replacement of bottles, equipment installed at new customers in the bulk segment and maintenance of existing operations.

At Ultracargo, R$ 230 million were invested in 2022, directed towards projects to gain efficiency, maintenance and operational safety of the terminals and the grant of the Vila do Conde (state of Pará) terminal.

Of the total invested, R$ 441 million refer to property, plant and equipment and additions to intangible assets and R$ 711 million to assets from contracts with customers (exclusive rights). These amounts were offset by R$ 22 million from the receipt of properties sold on a financed basis, net of releases of financing to customers.

Message from the Management                           

 

2022 was a year of significant advances at Ultrapar. Despite the volatility and uncertainties, Ultragaz and Ultracargo achieved record results, and Ipiranga continued its trajectory of profitability recovery. The focus on the sophistication of pricing and the effort to increase the engagement of our network, together with important changes and operational adjustments in logistics and supplies, placed us at a new level of efficiency, preparing us for a new phase of growth.

We completed the biggest portfolio rationalization process in our history, with the conclusion of the divestments of Oxiteno and Extrafarma in April and August 2022, respectively. We announced the acquisitions of Stella and NEOgás, which mark Ultragaz's entry into the renewable electricity and compressed natural gas segments, expanding its offer and enhancing its capillarity, commercial strength and brand.

We continued the succession and renewal process of our executive management, and started the succession process in the Board, which will undergo a major renewal in April this year with new members and a new chairman for the term of 2023 to 2025.

In 2022, we made progress on our ESG journey, with the conclusion of the details of the 2030 ESG Plan, intrinsic to each of the businesses strategic plan. The plan makes up 30% of the variable compensation individual goals of Ultrapar's leadership and reveals the Company's commitments, ambitions and targets for the coming years. The disclosure of the targets to the external public will take place in March of this year.

We ended 2022 with net revenues of R$ 147 billion, 24% higher than in 2021 even after the deconsolidation of Oxiteno and Extrafarma from the result, and with revenue growth in all businesses. The Company achieved a recurring EBITDA of R$ 4.0 billion and a net income of R$ 1.8 billion in 2022, of which R$ 506 million should be distributed as dividends and interest on equity to shareholders.

We highlight the reduction in our financial leverage, in good timing considering the macroeconomic context and investment opportunities with good returns, which went from 2.9x on December 31, 2021 to 1.7x on December 31, 2022 due to the combination of the conclusion of the sales of Oxiteno and Extrafarma with the operational improvement of all businesses. We used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Oxiteno to pay interest on equity to shareholders and for the partial repurchase of bonds, an additional contribution to optimizing the financial liabilities management, with a reduction in the carrying cost of Ultrapar’s net debt, from 129% of the CDI in 2021 to 109% of the CDI in 2022. We emphasize that there are still receivables related to the divestments totaling approximately R$ 1.1 billion.

In this context, in December we announced our investment plan for 2023, which totals R$ 2.2 billion and exceeds the amounts invested in each of the five last years, with half of the amount allocated to expansion projects at Ipiranga, Ultragaz and Ultracargo in addition to the support and security of the operating units.

We enter 2023 with engaged team leaders and strengthened businesses to continue our journey of growth and value creation. We thank all our employees for their commitment and dedication throughout the year and our other stakeholders for trusting and contributing to the Company’s improvement.

Considerations on the financial and operational information

In May and August 2021, the sales agreements of Extrafarma and Oxiteno were signed, respectively, according to the Material Notices disclosed at the time. On December 31st, 2021, Ultrapar classified these businesses as assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations. The sale of Oxiteno was concluded on April 1st, 2022, and thus ceased to be part of discontinued operations and Ultrapar’s results as of 2Q22. The sale of Extrafarma was concluded on August 1st, 2022, and its results are shown within discontinued operations until this date. In this report, the financial information related to Ultrapar corresponds to the consolidated information (pro forma) of the Company, that is, the data considers the sum of continuing and discontinued operations, unless otherwise indicated.

The financial information presented on this document were extracted from the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Information on Ultragaz, Ultracargo, Oxiteno, Ipiranga and Extrafarma are presented without the elimination of intersegment transactions. Therefore, the sum of such information may not correspond to Ultrapar’s consolidated information (pro forma). Additionally, the financial and operational information presented in this discussion is subject to rounding and, consequently, the total amounts presented in the tables and charts may differ from the direct numerical sum of the amounts that precede them. Information denominated EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income, Depreciation and Amortization); Adjusted EBITDA – adjusted by the amortization of contractual assets with customers – exclusive rights and by the cash flow hedge from bonds; Recurring Adjusted EBITDA – adjusted by non-recurring items; and EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Income Tax and Social Contribution on Net Income) is presented in accordance to Resolution 156, issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) on June 23, 2022. The calculation of EBITDA based on net income is shown below:

Net revenues Total of R$ 35,957 million (+4% vs 4Q21), due to higher revenues in all businesses, mainly at Ipiranga, partially offset by the divestments of Oxiteno and Extrafarma and subsequent deconsolidation of their results in April and August 2022, respectively. Compared to 3Q22, net revenues decreased 9%, mainly due to lower revenues from Ipiranga and Ultragaz. In 2022, net revenues totaled R$ 146,902 million, a 24% growth over 2021.

Recurring Adjusted EBITDA - Continuing operations – Total of R$ 750 million (-4% vs 4Q21), due to lower EBITDA at Ipiranga, partially offset by higher EBITDAs at Ultragaz and Ultracargo. Compared to 3Q22, recurring Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations recorded a decrease of 16%, mainly due to lower EBITDA at Ipiranga, partially offset by higher EBITDA at Ultragaz. In 2022, recurring Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations totaled R$ 3,617 million, 39% higher than in 2021.

Results from the Holding, abastece and other companies – Ultrapar recorded a negative result of R$ 61 million at the Holding, abastece aí and other companies, comprised of (i) R$ 49 million of negative EBITDA from the Holding and (ii) R$ 12 million of negative EBITDA from abastece aí, due to expenses with personnel and technology. The other companies did not present a relevant result in 4Q22. In 2022, the negative result was R$ 216 million (vs R$ 258 million negative in 2021), comprised of R$ 175 million of negative EBITDA from the Holding, R$ 62 million of negative EBITDA from abastece aí and R$ 20 million of positive EBITDA from other companies.

Depreciation and amortization Total of R$ 435 million (-2% vs 4Q21), due to the deconsolidation of Oxiteno and Extrafarma results, attenuated by higher investments made over the last 12 months and higher amortization of contractual assets at Ipiranga. Compared to 3Q22, total costs and expenses with depreciation and amortization increased 9%, mainly due to higher amortization of contractual assets at Ipiranga. In 2022, total costs and expenses with depreciation and amortization amounted R$ 1,693 million, 2% higher than in 2021.

Financial result Ultrapar reported net financial expenses of R$ 221 million in 4Q22, an improvement of R$ 103 million compared to 4Q21, reflecting the negative result of R$ 29 million of mark-to-market of hedges in 4Q22 compared to the negative result of R$ 87 million in 4Q21, in addition to the effect of the cash flow hedge of R$ 47 million negative in the 4Q21, offset by the higher CDI, despite the lower average balance and lower cost of net debt. Compared to 3Q22, when net financial expenses were R$ 328 million, the difference is mainly explained by the improvement in mark-to-market of hedges of bonds. In 2022, Ultrapar reported net financial expenses of R$ 1,465 million, a worsening of R$ 379 million compared to 2021.

Net income Total of R$ 836 million (+114% vs 4Q21), mainly due to the effect of extraordinary tax credits at Ipiranga and Ultragaz and lower net financial expenses, despite the lower recurring EBITDA. Compared to 3Q22, net income increased by R$ 754 million, for the same reasons mentioned above. In 2022, net income totaled R$ 1,840 million, a 108% growth in relation to 2021.

Cash flow from operations Generation of R$ 2.0 billion in 2022, compared to the generation of R$ 2.6 billion in 2021, a reduction mainly due to higher investment in working capital as a result of higher fuel prices, despite the higher EBITDA.

Ultrapar ended 4Q22 with total net debt of R$ 6.7 billion (1.7x LTM Adjusted EBITDA), compared to R$ 7.4 billion on September 30, 2022 (1.9x LTM Adjusted EBITDA). The reduction in the net debt compared to the position at the end of 3Q22 is mainly due to operating cash generation, with emphasis on the release of working capital resulting from the reduction in fuel prices in 4Q22. The reduction in financial leverage reflects the reduction in the net debt and the growth in EBITDA from continuing operations. 

 

It is worth mentioning that there are receivables not yet included in Ultrapar's net debt related to the sales (i) of Oxiteno (US$ 150 million to be received in April 2024), and (ii) of Extrafarma (R$ 365 million, monetarily adjusted by CDI + 0.5% p.a., to be received in two installments, the first in August 2023 and the second in August 2024).

Updates on ESG themes

Ultrapar regained the AA score (leader category) in MSCI in the quarter, an important indicator that measures a company's resilience to environmental, social and governance risks, and a B score in the 2022 CDP Climate Change questionnaire, while the B score in the Water Security questionnaire was maintained. This improvement reflects a greater soundness in the management of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions in all businesses, an evolution of the strategic governance of the climate change theme, and evolutions and external recognitions in governance, with emphasis on people management. In addition, Ultrapar's 2021 Integrated Report won the 24th Abrasca Annual Report Award, in the category of publicly traded companies with revenues above R$ 3 billion, in recognition of the clarity, transparency and quality of information, as well as its innovative character.

In October, Ultrapar participated in the DemoDay, concluding the 2nd edition of the Inova 2030 Dispara Program, an initiative of the Brazil Global Compact that seeks to develop young people, training them in topics such as entrepreneurship and innovation, in addition to accelerating projects of shared value and contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The occasion marked the delivery of 10 projects developed by Ultrapar’s employees, with the possibility of implementation in the businesses. 

In November, the climate survey for the Holding was carried out in partnership with Great Place to Work (GPTW), with 87% of employees joining. The achieved result ensured Ultrapar's Holding the certification of the Best Companies to Work For for the second consecutive year.

Ultragaz, as a partner of Childhood Brasil, was recognized at the 16th Annual Meeting of the In the Right Hand Program for its actions carried out throughout 2022, with meetings and communications focused on both the logistics team and suppliers to raise public awareness on the issue of combating sexual exploitation of children and teenagers on Brazilian roads, and dissemination of reporting channels. Also, in 2022, due to the development of an innovative solution for the digital gas voucher, Ultragaz was selected by four NGOs for the distribution of LPG bottles in all states of Brazil to families in socially vulnerable situations. As a result, more than 285 thousand families benefited from access to cleaner and more sustainable energy. In December, Ultragaz started a pilot project with two electric trucks and one gas-powered truck for filling and transporting bottles.

In October, Ultracargo was certified with the silver medal for its performance in Ecovadis, the main supplier evaluation platform in terms of sustainability practices in the world, being among the 25% of the companies best evaluated by the platform. In addition, it received, in its first reporting year, the GHG Protocol silver seal, the main instrument used in Brazil to understand, quantify and manage greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, demonstrating its commitment to the topic. In November, Ultracargo also received the Friend of the Ocean seal from the Port of Suape, a recognition that is part of the global initiatives of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. Being granted the seal recognizes the adoption of good environmental practices, the reduction of its impacts and the consequent maintenance of the quality of the marine-coastal environment, in which Ultracargo operates. The new tank washing method launched this year, which reduces water consumption and represents a safer means of carrying out this activity, was selected by ANPEI Conference (National Association for Research and Development of Innovative Companies) of Innovation's technical committee to be presented in the 2022 edition.

Ipiranga won, in October, for the tenth consecutive year, the GHG Protocol gold seal. As part of the In the Right Hand Program, to which it has been a signatory since 2016, Ipiranga received a recognition for its performance and the fulfillment of the goals established for combating the sexual exploitation of children and teenagers on Brazilian roads. In November, the Ipiranga Meeting with Carriers was held, with the objective of reinforcing good safety practices and operational excellence, in addition to presenting Mover, a new excellence program for partner and guest carriers.

  • In a meeting held on this date, as provided for in the Company's Bylaws, the Board of Directors approved the appointment of the following slate for the election of the members of the Board of Directors that will take place at the General Shareholders’ Meeting of April 19, 2023, for a term of two years:

         Jorge Marques de Toledo Camargo

         José Maurício Pereira Coelho

         Marcelo Faria de Lima (new)

As non-independent candidates:

  • Continuing the Company's transformation agenda, the Board decided to re-elect Marcos Lutz to the position of Chief Executive Officer of Ultrapar, with a new term of two years, starting in April 2023.

 

The slate proposed by the Management reduces the number of Board members from 11 to 9, and combines, on the one hand, candidates who are currently members of the Company's Management, preserving the knowledge of the businesses and of Ultrapar, and on the other hand, four new candidates who bring relevant and complementary experiences to the Company, with an important renewal of the body. The chart below summarizes the candidates' main experiences and qualifications.

After 45 years of dedication and great contributions to Ultrapar, both in executive roles and in the Board of Directors, of which he has been a member since 2013, Pedro Wongtschowski will leave the Company's Board. Frederico Pinheiro Fleury Curado, who joined Ultrapar in 2017 as Chief Executive Officer, playing a relevant role, among others, in renewing the Company's Management team and reviewing its portfolio, will also leave the Company's Board. We also thank the Board members Alexandre Saigh, José Galló, José Luiz Alquéres and Otávio Castello Branco for their contributions over the last years
