Ultrapar furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission its Parent and Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the independent auditor’s report thereon in a Form 6-K dated February 20, 2020 which is available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1094972/000119312520043048/d855293d6k.htm (the “Audited Financial Statements”). The information set out below is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Audited Financial Statements.

Ultrapar’s net income for 2019 was R$402.9 million, 64% lower compared to R$1,132.3 million in 2018, mainly due to (a) the decline in operating income before financial income (expenses) and share of profit of joint-ventures and associates between the periods and (b) higher net financial expenses, as described further below.

Impairment of assets varied from zero in 2018 to R$593.3 million in 2019, due to the impairment of goodwill in the acquisition of Extrafarma, with no cash effect, as a consequence of the worse than expected results compared to the original business plan.

On April 23, 2020 the exchange rate for Reais into U.S. dollars was R$5.447 to US$1.00, based on the commercial selling rate as reported by the Central Bank. The commercial selling rate was R$4.031 to US$1.00 on December 31, 2019. This disclosure should not be considered a representation that any such amounts have been, could have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at that or any other exchange rate.
