3.2 Non accounting measures

EBITDA
EBITDA is a non-accounting measurement adopted by the Company, reconciled with its financial
statements, in accordance with CVM Instruction 01/2007, when applicable. The Company has calculated
its EBITDA as net earnings before financial results, the effect of depreciation of assets and equipment
used for rental, and the amortization of intangible assets. EBITDA is not a measure recognized under BR
GAAP, IFRS or US GAAP. It is not significantly standardized and cannot be compared to measurements
with similar names provided by other companies. The Company has reported EBITDA because it is used
to measure its performance. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for "net
income" or "operating income" as indicators of operational performance or cash flow, or for the
measurement of liquidity or debt repayment capacity.

Reasons for using the EBITDA


EBITDA is used as a performance measurement by the Companys Management, reason why it is
important to be included in this Reference Form. The Company believes that the EBITDA is an efficient
measurement to evaluate the performance of operations, as an indicator that is less impacted by interest
rates fluctuation, changes in the rates and chances of incidence of the corporate income tax (IRPJ) and
social contribution on net profits (CSLL) and depreciation levels.

Return on Invested Capital


Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) is a non-GAAP measurement elaborated by the Company. It is
calculated as Operating Income before financial results and after the payment of income tax and social
contribution (theoretical 30% income tax rate) on this income, includes remuneration from affiliates,

divided by average Invested Capital. ROIC is not a measure recognized under BR GAAP, and it is not
significantly standardized and cannot be compared to measurements with similar names provided by
other companies.
Annual ROIC: (Annual Operational Income (30% Income Tax Rate) + remuneration from affiliates) /
Average Invested Capital of the last thirteen months.
For the Company, invested capital is defined as the sum of its own capital (net equity or shareholders
equity) and capital from third parties (total loans and other liabilities that carry interest, from banks or
not), both being average capital from the beginning to the end of the period considered.

Reasons for using ROIC as a performance measure


ROIC is used by the Companys Management as a measure of return to its shareholders, which is why the
Company believes it is important its inclusion in this Reference Form. The Company believes that ROIC
indicates the level of wealth generated by the Company from its sources of funds, reflecting adequately
the return on investment for its shareholders. The Company also considers that, since ROIC is based on
operating profit before financial result, it provides a more reliable measure of the wealth generated by its
operating activities.
ROIC should not be considered solely or as a substitute for net income or operating income as indicators
of the Companys performance or return effectively earned by investors.

RISK FACTORS

4.1

Risk factors

a.

to the Company

The Company may not be able to fully implement its business strategy
One of the Companys key objectives over the next few years is to sustain its accelerated annual growth
rate. The continued growth depends on several factors, many of which are beyond the Companys
control. In particular, the Companys strategy for the expansion of its divisions is based on the assumption
that the Brazilian construction, industrial, and oil and gas sectors will experience significant growth in
coming years, driven, to a large extent, by public investments aimed at improving Brazils infrastructure
for energy, sanitation, public transportation and housing, as preparing the country to host the 2014 FIFA
World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, meeting the objectives set by the Brazilian governments PAC
program, the Brazilian governments low income housing program and exploiting natural resources
recently discovered in the pre-salt strata, among others. If these investments are not made, the Company
would expect a significant decrease in the demand for its products and services and would not be able to
implement its growth strategy satisfactorily.
The Companys organic growth strategy also includes substantial geographic expansion of its operations
through the opening of new branches. The Company may not be able to successfully expand its
operations to additional Brazilian cities and regions for a number of reasons, including shortages of
qualified workers, lack of reliable suppliers in such cities and regions, competition from local players, and
difficulties in securing market acceptance of its brands. Although the geographic expansion occurs
satisfactorily, the Company will be subjected to risks from the local economy of these new regions.
Additionally, the Companys future performance will depend on its ability to manage the rapid and
significant growth of its operations. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to manage its
growth successfully, or that this growth will not have an adverse effect on its existing business. If the
Company is unable to manage its growth, it may lose its leading market position, which could have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the negotiation price of its
shares.

The Company provides solutions for companies that operate in a number of industries,
primarily the residential, commercial and heavy construction sectors and the oil and gas
sectors. As a result, the Companys business is exposed to risks that are similar to those
faced by companies that operate in these and in other sectors.
The Heavy Construction division offers customized solutions to companies involved in the implementation
of large infrastructure projects, while the Jahu division provides services to residential and commercial
construction companies. The main sectors served by the Industrial Services division include the oil and
gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, heavy construction, pulp and paper, naval, and mining industries,
among others, as the products offered by the equipment of the Rental division are leased to companies
operating in a broad number of industrial segments. Consequently, the Companys financial condition and
results of operations are directly linked to the growth and performance of these several industries, and
the Company is exposed to many of the risks faced by companies operating in these industries.
Events that may negatively affect these industries in such sectors, including macroeconomic factors,
adverse climate conditions, deterioration of the Brazilian social conditions, decreases in public investment,
changes to laws and regulations that adversely affect these industries, credit restrictions, supplier
problem, reductions in client purchasing power, and difficulties in the management of the clients
business, among others, are beyond the managements control and may cause an adverse material effect
on the Companys operations and results.

Adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets, or the Companys failure to secure
financing on adequate terms, may adversely affect its ability to run its business or to
implement its strategy.
13

The implementation of the Companys expansion strategy will demand additional investments and require
additional capital, which may not result in an equivalent increase in its operating income. In addition, the
Company may face an increase in operating costs as a result of other factors, as shortages of raw
materials, equipment or skilled labor, increased equipment costs and increased competition in the
segments in which it operates. The Company may need to raise additional funds through securities
offerings, including offerings of its shares or debt instruments, or through credit financings, in order to
meet its future capital needs. The Company may not be able to secure such funds on favorable terms, or
at all.
The Company future capital needs will be determined by a number of factors, including the rate of growth
of its revenues, the cost and significance of future acquisitions, and the expansion of its business
operations. The Company may need to increase its cash flow and/or seek alternative funding by entering
into strategic partnership agreements. Efforts to increase its cash flow by means of an increase in sales,
reduction in operating expenses, introduction of more efficient processes for the collection of receivables,
or inventory cuts may not be successful. In addition, the Company may not be able to raise funds to
finance the Companys operations on favorable terms, in which case it may be unable to take advantage
of future opportunities, to react to an increase in competition, or to meet its existing debt obligations. Any
of the events mentioned above could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, operation
results and the negotiation price of its shares.
The current funding lines from the Company represented, on December 31 of 2011, a short-term debt of
R$71.4 million, and long-term debt of R$339.5 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Companys existing
financing agreements it must comply with certain conditions which restrict, among other things, its ability
to incur additional debt, pay dividends and carry out capital reductions. As a result of these restrictions,
the Company may have difficulty in securing additional financing to run its operations.
In addition, some of the Companys clients are dependent on the credit availability to finance their
investments. A scenario of credit shortages and high interest rates may adversely affect its clients ability
to fund their projects and, consequently, purchase the Companys services, which may have a material
adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
The Company is also exposed to the fact that counterparts to its financing agreements may be prevented
from fulfilling their obligations toward the company, should they go bankrupt or into receivership due to a
sharp decrease in their liquidity levels, so great that such institutions may be prevented from fulfilling
their obligations. The Companys difficulty in the credit scarcity may also adversely affect its suppliers.
Therefore, should the Companys financial counterparts or suppliers be unable to satisfactorily meet their
obligations under the terms of the Companys existing agreements, the Company may need to secure
alternative financing and/or approach alternative suppliers in order to meet its own obligations toward its
clients. Such events could also lead to litigation with its partners or clients, which could have a significant
adverse impact on its reputation, operation and financial condition.

The Companys growth may be adversely affected if it fails to identify and complete strategic
acquisitions. Difficulties in the integration of acquisitions could adversely affect its results of
operations.
The Company operates in a fragmented market, where the credit access is limited. The Company
believes, therefore, that its sector will go through a process of consolidation over the next few years,
which may significantly change the existing competitive landscape. The Company believes that identifying
and executing strategic acquisitions is one way it could successfully implement its growth strategy and
quickly and efficiently expand its operations and geographic footprint. However, this strategy could be
adversely affected if the Company fails to identify suitable acquisition opportunities and/or fail to execute
such acquisitions on favorable terms. In addition, the Company may not be able to integrate companies it
acquires into its operations within the timeframe and in the manner determined by its management. Any
such failure could have an adverse effect on the rate of return on the Companys investment, preventing
from taking full advantage of the potential synergies of any such acquisition and result in an adverse
effect on its financial condition and results of operations.
14

The loss of members of the Companys management team may have a material adverse
effect on its operations.
The Companys current market position and its ability to maintain this position is largely dependent on the
skill of its highly experienced management team. None of the Companys executive officers are subject to
long-term employment contracts or non-compete agreements. The Company cannot guarantee that it will
be able to retain its current executive officers or hire other qualified professionals. The loss of a few of the
Companys senior executive officers, or its failure to attract and retain experienced professionals, may
adversely affect its business.

The Companys expansion strategy could be adversely affected if it is unable to hire qualified
professionals and provide training to its staff.
As part of the execution of its expansion strategy, the Company will need to hire new qualified
professionals active in the most various business sectors. However, it faces significant competition in the
hiring of qualified personnel from other providers of engineering and industrial services and there can be
no assurance that it will be able to attract the number of professionals necessary to implement its
expansion plan in the desired timeframe. In addition, the Company may face difficulties in retaining its
current staff if it is unable to preserve its corporate culture and offer competitive compensation packages.
The Company believes that the hiring and retention of skilled labor is a critical factor for business success
and its growth strategy. The Companys financial condition and results of operations could be adversely
affected if it fails to implement this strategy.

The Companys operations have already been interrupted in the past by labor issues, and the
Company cannot guarantee that such interruptions will not occur in the future.
As of December 31, 2011, approximately 3.9% of the Companys employees were members of labor
unions, primarily in the civil construction and trade industries. The Company has entered into collective
bargaining agreements with each of these unions, which agreements are renegotiated on an annual basis.
The renegotiation of these agreements could become more difficult as unions campaign for salary
increases on the basis of the growth of its operations. During the last three years, the operations of
Industrial Services division have been interrupted during negotiation of new collective bargaining
agreements. In addition, the Companys employees could become involved in the suspension of the
operations of its clients. Strikes affecting any of the Companys divisions could have an adverse impact on
its operations, including the cost of its projects and its ability to make timely delivery.

The Companys success depends, to a large extent, on the quality and safety of its services
and products.
The Companys success depends, to a large extent, on the quality and safety of the machinery and
equipment that it uses in the provision of its services or that are rented to its clients. If the Companys
products are in any way defective, incorrectly assembled or unsafe, if they cause any kind of accident or
delay in its clients operations, or if they do not meet the expected quality and safety standards, the
Companys relationships with its clients and partners could suffer, its reputation and strength of its brand
could be adversely affected, and the Company could lose market share, besides being exposed to
administrative proceedings and lawsuits in connection with any potential failures of its machinery or
equipment and incur significant expenses. The occurrence of any of these factors could adversely affect
the Companys business, financial condition and results of operations.

Proceeds from the Companys insurance policies may not be sufficient to cover damages
resulting from a contingent event.
The Company cannot guarantee that proceeds from its insurance policies will be sufficient to cover the
damages resulting from any event covered by such policies. Accordingly, certain risks may not be covered
under the terms of its insurance policies (such as war, fortuitous events, force majeure and interruption of
15

certain operations). Therefore, if any non-covered event occurs, the Company may incur additional
expenses to rebuild or refurbish its buildings, or to repair or replace its equipment. Furthermore, the
Company cannot guarantee that the proceeds from its insurance policies will be sufficient to cover the
damages caused by any event for which its insurance policies provide coverage. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to renew its insurance policies on favorable or acceptable terms,
or at all, or enter into new insurance policies with alternate providers.

The Companys results could be adversely affected if it receives an unfavorable judgment or


decision in one or more of the administrative proceedings and lawsuits filed against the
company.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company was involved in administrative proceedings and lawsuits for
which it has recorded provisions of R$52.4 million. The Companys financial condition and results of
operations could be materially adversely affected, if it receives an unfavorable judgment or decision with
respect to a significant share of these proceedings and lawsuits. In addition, proceedings involving alleged
acts of negligence, imprudence or failure could affect the Companys reputation and adversely affect its
operations, whether or not it receives an unfavorable decision.

The nature of the services rendered by the Company requires to make significant financial
and technical investments before knowing whether or not it will be hired.
Due to the nature of the services the Company provides, it is required to make substantial initial
investments in the development of new processes, the provision of constant training to its employees
and, in particular, the acquisition of machinery and equipment to be used in the provision of its services.
Some of these investments are carried out before the Company knows whether its services will be used
on a continuous, successive basis and it is exposed to the risk that significant initial investments will not
generate the returns that are anticipated. The Company is particularly vulnerable to a sudden decrease in
the level of demand for its services that would result in an increase in its spare capacity and leave its
revenue-generating assets idle, which could have an adverse affect on its financial condition and results
of operations.

All of the Companys business divisions face significant competition in the markets in which
they operate.
The Company faces strong competition in all of the segments in which it operates. Moreover, the
Company may be exposed in the future to additional competition from new market players, as well as
from foreign competitors entering the Brazilian market. The Company operates in a fragmented market
which demonstrates considerable potential for growth and is served by a substantial number of
companies offering less sophisticated and, therefore, less cost services. The Companys clients decision to
hire a particular service provider is influenced by a number of factors, including the quality of the services,
the reliability of the contractor and its ability to offer innovative solutions, and the price charged for the
services required. The Companys competitors are making substantial efforts to improve their market
positions and the Company may lose certain clients to these competitors, including long-standing clients
that regularly employ its services.
Certain competitors of the Industrial Services division have more experience and greater scale in the
provision of certain industrial maintenance services, and may have greater financial resources. If the
Company is unable to effectively compete against these companies, its market share could decrease,
which would adversely affect the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, if construction companies and companies operating in the oil and gas sector create new inhouse departments to complement their core operations, so as to no longer require the Companys
services (or even to compete with the Company), it may experience a reduction in the demand for its
services, and a potential increase in competition, which may adversely affect its financial condition and
results of operations.
16

The development of engineering solutions and technological innovations which add value to
the Companys services is critical to the protection of its leading market position and to the
expansion of its business.
Due to the nature of the Companys business, it must remain abreast of the latest engineering solutions
and technological innovations in its industry. The Company must employ qualified personnel, maintain an
adequate infrastructure, and expand relationships with suppliers that have a successful track record.
Should the Company fail to provide value-added engineering solutions, or to buy or license new
technologies developed by third-parties on acceptable terms, the services rendered by the Company could
become outdated or obsolete in comparison to the services offered by its competitors. Any failure to
remain at the technological forefront of the industry would adversely affect its relationship with clients
and, consequently, its financial condition and results of operations.

b.

to the controlling shareholder.

The interests of the Companys controlling shareholder may conflict with the interests of its
investors.
The Companys controlling shareholder has the ability, among other things, to elect the majority of the
members of its board of directors and determine the outcome of decisions requiring shareholder approval,
including with respect to transactions with related parties, corporate restructurings, asset sales and
partnership agreements, and will have power to influence the amount and timing of any dividends to be
distributed in the future, subject to the provisions of the Brazilian corporate law regarding the payment of
mandatory dividends. The Companys controlling shareholder may choose to pursue acquisition
opportunities, dispose of assets, and enter into partnership and financing agreements or similar
operations which may conflict with the interests of its other shareholders.

After the completion of the public offering, the Company became to be a diffused controlled
company, since it does not have a controlling shareholder or group of shareholders holding
more than 50% of its voting capital, which can allow it be susceptible to alliances and
conflicts between shareholders and other events resulting from the absence of a controlling
shareholder or shareholder group holding more than 50% of the voting capital.
After the completion of the public offering, the Company came to not have a shareholder holding more
than 50% of its voting capital. There is no established practice in Brazil of a public company with no
controlling shareholder of the voting capital. Alliances or agreements can be made between the new
shareholders, which could have the same effect as having a group of shareholders. In the event of a
group of shareholders and this group takes a hold of the decision power of the company, it can suffer
sudden and unexpected changes in the corporate policies and strategies, including through mechanisms
such as the replacement of the Companys management staff. Besides this, the Company may be more
vulnerable to hostile attempts to acquire control and conflicts from this outcome.
Additionally, the Company's shareholders can possibly change or exclude these provisions from its bylaws
which provide a public offering for share acquisition by a shareholder who becomes holder of 20% of its
share capital and then disregard their obligation to make a public offering to acquire shares as it is
required by its bylaws. The absence of a controlling shareholder or controlling group of shareholders of
more than 50% of the voting shares of the Company may also hinder certain decision-making processes,
which could not be reached the quorum required by law for certain decisions. In the case that there isnt
a controlling shareholder holding the absolute majority of the voting shares of the Company, the
Company's shareholders may not use of the same protection granted by Share Companies Law against
abuses practiced by other shareholders and, consequently, may have difficulty in repairing the damage
caused. Any sudden or unexpected change in the Company's management team in its business policy or
strategic direction, attempt to acquire control or any dispute among shareholders concerning their
respective rights may adversely affect the Company's business and operating results.

c.

to the shareholders.
17

An active and liquid market for the Companys shares may not develop. The volatility and
lack of liquidity of the Brazilian capital market could substantially limit the investors ability
to sell their shares at the desired price and time.
An investment in securities traded in emerging market countries such as Brazil frequently involves a
greater degree of risk when compared to investments in securities of issuers located in major international
securities markets, and are generally considered to be more speculative in nature. The Brazilian securities
market is substantially smaller, less liquid, more concentrated and usually more volatile than major
international securities markets such as the United States. As of December 31, 2011, the BM&FBOVESPA
represented a market capitalization of approximately R$2.3 trillion (US$1.2 trillion), with an average daily
trading volume of R$6.5 billion during the period from December 30, 2009 to December 30, 2010. The
Brazilian capital market is significantly concentrated. The main ten shares traded on the BM&FBOVESPA
accounted for approximately 48.8% of the total volume of shares traded on this stock exchange during
the year ended December 31, 2011.
These characteristics from the Brazilian Capital Market may substantially limit investors ability to sell the
Companys shares for the desired price and at the desired time, which in turn may have a significant
adverse effect on the price of its shares.
The average daily trading volume of the Companys shares, in 2011, was of R$ 5.6 million.

Shareholders may not receive dividends.


The Companys bylaws provide that 25% of the net profit for any year, adjusted pursuant to the
provisions of the Brazilian corporate law, should be distributed to shareholders as mandatory dividends or
as interest on stockholders equity. Despite the requirements regarding the payment of mandatory
dividends, the Company may limit such payment to the realized portion of the dividends or suspend the
distribution of dividends to its shareholders in any year, if the Companys board of directors determines
that such distribution would not be advisable given its financial condition.

The Company may need additional funds in the future and may issue additional securities to
secure such funds. This may adversely affect the price of the shares and result in a dilution of
the investors percentage interest in the Companys shares.
The Company may need to raise funds in the future through an additional public or private offering of
shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares. Any additional funds raised by the
distribution of shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares may impact their price and
dilute the investors percentage interest.

Provisions in the Companys bylaws may discourage, delay or make more difficult a change of
control of the company or the approval of transactions that might otherwise in the best
interests of its shareholders.
The Companys bylaws contain provisions intended to avoid the concentration of ownership of its shares
in small groups of investors and to foster a dispersed ownership. These provisions require that any
shareholder that acquires or becomes the holder, except any involuntary increase, as provided in the
Bylaws of the Company, of (i) Companys shares representing 20% of its capital stock, (ii) derivatives to
be settled in shares of the Company and / or paid in currency, exchange-traded or privately organized
market, which are referenced in any actions or other securities issued by the Company and having rights
to shares of the Company representing 20% or more of the Companys shares, or (b) giving the right to
receive an amount equal to 20% or more of the Companys shares; or (iii) certain other rights in the
corporate nature of amount equal to or greater than 20% of the total shares issued by the Company or
which may result in the acquisition of Company shares in the amount equal to or greater than 20% of the
total shares the Companys capital; shall make, within sixty days to the purchase date of this acquisition
or event that resulted in this acquired percentage, an OPA for all shares issued by the Company at the
price determined by its bylaws. These provisions could have the effect to discourage, delay or even
18

prevent the Company to merge with another company or be acquired by another company, including
transactions in which the investor may receive a bonus over the market value of the Companys shares.
Likewise, statutory provision might allow the maintenance or perpetuation of the staff members of the
Company nominated and elected by shareholders holding less predominant portion of the Company's
capital.

d.

to its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The Company does not have subsidiaries or affiliates. The only society in which the Company holds a
stake is Rohr S/A Estruturas Tubulares (Rohr). Since Rohr operates in the same market of the Company,
the Companys management believes that both societies are subject to the same risks listed in the items
(a) above and (e), (f) and (g) below.
In addition, the minority stake held by the Company in Rohr does not allow it to prevail in the
deliberations of its general meetings or elect administrators, and shall only be facultative to elect a fiscal
council member and exercise the rights of shareholders provided for in corporate law. Consequently, the
Company is exposed to various risks, such as (i) does not receive dividends beyond the minimum required
in Rohrs bylaws, the corresponding amount, in each fiscal year of 6% of its capital, (ii) to not be able to
influence the executive administration and management of Rohr, including the case of disagreeing with
decisions made by its officers, and (iii) eventual difficulty to access Rohrs documents and information, or
related to its operations.

e.

to its suppliers.

Fluctuations in the price of raw materials, components and equipment used in the Companys
operations, as well as of commodities, may adversely affect its results.
Certain raw materials and components used in the Companys operations are prone to sudden and
significant fluctuations in price, over which it has no control. The final price of components, machinery
and equipment that are acquired or rented from third parties correlates to a significant extent with the
price of commodities such as steel and aluminum. A substantial increase in the price of such commodities
generally results in an equivalent increase in the Companys suppliers operating costs and, consequently,
in an increase in the prices they charge for their products. The Company may not be able to pass these
price increases on to its clients, which could have an adverse effect on its operating costs and financial
condition and results of operations.
In addition, all of the equipment used by the Rental division is imported, as there is no equipment of
comparable quality available locally, and their prices are defined in foreign currencies. Should the real
depreciate against the foreign currencies in which the Company purchases equipment, its purchase costs
will increase and it may be unable to reflect the increased cost of equipment in the rental prices charged.

The components, machinery and equipment used in the Companys operations are
manufactured and supplied by third parties.
The components, machinery and equipment used in the Companys operations are manufactured by thirdparties. The Company also buys other materials used in its operations from local or foreign companies.
The Company generally does not carry a very large inventory of equipment in its warehouses, only the
minimum required for the provision of its services. As a result, the Company is vulnerable to delays in the
delivery of equipment or increases in the prices charged by its suppliers, which could prevent from
providing its services or renting its equipment to its clients in a timely manner. Also, if the Companys
suppliers are not prepared for and are unable to meet potential increases in the demand for their
products, it may not be able to buy the amount of equipment or volume of raw materials necessary to
carry out its operations. If such delays in delivery or lack of products become recurrent, the company may
not be able to find new suppliers quickly enough to meet its clients needs. In addition, the introduction of
restrictions on the acquisition of imported goods, or the increase of taxes due on imported equipment,
may have a negative impact on the Companys business, in particular on the operations of the Rental
division. Any delays or price increases resulting from the actions or failures of the Companys suppliers, or
19

due to new import regulations, could result in increased costs for the Company, requiring a price increase,
in which case the demand for the Companys services could be adversely affected, affecting its financial
condition and operation results.

f.

to its clients.

The success of the Heavy Construction division depends on the development of long-term
relationships with a limited number of large companies operating in the Brazilian civil
construction sector.
According to O Empreiteiro magazine, the revenue of the ten largest Brazilian construction companies
represented, in the year 2010, 57.1% of the revenues from the 50 largest construction companies in the
country. Maintaining long-standing partnerships with such companies is the key to ensure the Companys
involvement in the implementation of prestigious and innovative activities and execute its operations, in
particular, more complex projects. Should the Company lose any of its main clients, or in case the
Company is unable to maintain a close relationship with such clients, the operations and revenue from the
Heavy Construction division could be materially adversely affected.

The Company may be unable to attract new clients or to develop new business at the pace
required for the expansion of the Jahu and Rental divisions.
The average term of the service agreements between the Jahu and Rental divisions and their clients is
generally shorter than that of the service agreements negotiated by the other business divisions. As a
result, both the Jahu and Rental divisions rely on the constant generation of new business in order to
maintain their revenue at a constant level. Due to the high degree of competition faced by the Jahu and
Rental divisions, the Company must make significant investments in order to attract new clients and retain
existing ones, in addition to offering its services at competitive prices. In 2011, the Jahu and Rental
divisions accounted for 23% and 25.9%, respectively, of the Companys net revenue, compared to 19.1%
and 17.3%, respectively, of the Companys net revenue in 2010. If the Company is unable to generate
new business at the rate required by the Jahu and Rental divisions, the operations and expansion of the
activities carried out by these divisions could be adversely affected.

The Company may be unable to meet the needs of all of its clients or deliver its services in a
timely manner.
The Company owns a limited number of machinery and equipment, which must be properly allocated to
each project in which it is involved. Delays or interruptions in the manufacturing and maintenance of such
equipment and its component parts, as well as sudden increases in the demand for the Companys
services, could prevent from providing its services in the agreed timeframe or from meeting the needs of
its clients satisfactorily and efficiently, as a result of any of the following factors:
inability to foresee the needs of its clients;
delays caused by its suppliers;
insufficient production capacity;
equipment failure;
shortage of qualified workers, strikes and labor claims;
interruption in the provision of public services, in particular power cuts;
delays or interruption of the equipment transportation system;
changes to customs regulations;
20

macroeconomic factors; and


natural disasters.
If the Company is unable to meet its deadlines, either due to internal problems, or as a result of events
over which it has no control, it may lose the trust of its clients and, therefore, experience a decrease in
the demand for its services, which could adversely affect its financial condition and operation results.

The Company is exposed to the credit risk of its clients


The company is subject to the credit risk of clients for payments due by the equipment rental and service
provision. Provisions for allowance for doubtful debts made by the Company from time to time, may not
be sufficient to deal with any inadimplementos. For more information, see the section "Credit Risk
(accounts receivable)" in table 5.1 of this reference form. Losses above Companys expectations (and
therefore not reflected in provisions) may adversely impact the Company's results.

Fluctuations in the price of commodities may impact the Companys clients investment
decisions and the cost of equipment and, consequently, the Company may face cancellations
or delays affecting its existing and future projects or loss of revenue.
Fluctuation in commodity prices may affect the Companys clients in many areas. For example, for clients
engaged in the oil and gas, copper and fertilizers business, fluctuation in their product prices may have a
direct impact in the profit margins and cash flows, and consequently influence decisions between
maintaining existing investments or making new expenditures. Should the Companys clients choose to
postpone new investments and/or to cancel or delay the execution of existing projects, the demand for
the Companys services would drop, which could have a material adverse effect on its operations and
financial condition. The Companys operations and financial situation has been adversely affected in the
past, and could be substantially affected in the future, due to cancellations and delays in connection with
projects in which it was or is involved.
The prices of commodities may also have a strong impact on the cost of the Companys equipment and
projects. Any increase in such prices could adversely affect the potential return on the planned projects
that the Company was going to execute, as well as the current investments, should its clients choose to
postpone, cancel or delay their execution.

g.

to the economic sectors in which the issuer is involved.

The Brazilian government has been and continues to be a significant influence over the
Brazilian economy. This influence, as well as Brazilian political and economic conditions,
could adversely affect the Companys business and results of operations.
The Brazilian government has frequently intervened in the Brazilian economy and has occasionally
introduced significantly changes to the countrys monetary, credit and tax policies, among others. The
Brazilian governments actions to control inflation have often involved, among others, increases in interest
rates, changes in tax policies, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls, and customs
restrictions. The Company haa no control over and cannot predict what measures or policies may be
introduced by the Brazilian government in the future. The Companys business, financial condition and
operations results, as well as the trading price of its shares, may be adversely affected by Brazilian, state
and municipal changes to public policies relating to tax rates and exchange controls or regulations
involving or affecting factors such as:

interest rates;
exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad;
fluctuations in exchange rates;
inflation;
social and political instability;
expansion or contraction of the global or Brazilian economies;
21

liquidity of domestic capital and financial markets;


tax burden and policy; and
other political, social and economic developments in or affecting Brazil.

Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian government will implement changes in policy or regulation
affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty in Brazil and
heightened volatility in the Brazilian securities markets. For example, on October 20, 2009, the Brazilian
government introduced a 2% tax on foreign investments in the Brazilian financial and capital markets.
With the purpose of reducing the exchange rate pressure, on October 18, 2010, Finance Minister Guido
Mantega, announced the increase of the IOF tax rate on foreign investments in fixed income to 6%. In
2011, the IOF tax rate returned to the level of 2%, but on December 1st the government cut this tax on
investments in equities in order to stimulate the national economy and protect the Country from the
effects of the international financial crisis.
In October 2010, Dilma Rouseff was elected president of Brazil. Brazilian presidents have significant
power to determine public policies, as well as to introduce measures affecting the Brazilian economy and
the operations and financial results of companies such as the Company, whose operations rely to a
significant extent on public investment in infrastructure and development. The campaign for the
presidency could result in changes to existing public policies. For example, the new government faces
pressure to cut expenses and public investments, including investments in infrastructure, due to
increasing inflation and public debt, which can cause negatively and relevant impact in the Companys
operations. In February of 2011, the Federal Government announced a cut of R$ 50 billion in the Union
budget. There was also the contention of R$ 5 billion from the government to the program Minha casa,
Minha vida, as a consequence of the delay in the approval of the second part of the program by the
Congress. Public investments suffered reduction in 2011, when the spending on buildings and equipment
declined around 6%, reaching a level of R$ 41.9 billion in 2011 from a level of R$ 44.7 billion in 2010. In
December 2011, was announced by the Minister Guido Mantega that there would be efforts to reduce the
spending in public administration and that the increase of the investments would be a priority in 2012,
thus it has a key role in the creation of infrastructure and logistics needed to sustain further growth.
Moreover, there are major sport events, such as the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Events, which will
be held in Brazil, demanding the government to fulfill its public investments goals.
The Company cannot predict whether the current or future Brazilian government will implement changes
to existing policies on taxation, exchange controls, monetary strategy and social security, among others,
nor estimate the possible impact of any such changes on the Brazilian economy or the Companys
operations.

Federal Government's efforts to reduce inflation may delay the Brazilian economys growth
and affect the Company's business negatively.
In the past, Brazil experienced extremely high inflation rates and, consequently, adopted monetary
policies that resulted in one of the largest real interest rates in the world. Between 2005 and 2011, the
SELIC medium rate was 19.1% and 11.7% respectively. Inflation and measures taken by the Federal
Government to combat it, especially through the Central Bank, had and can return to have significant
impact on the Brazilian economy and on the Company's business. The strict monetary policy with high
interest rates may limit the Brazilian growth and the credit availability. Conversely, looser government and
monetary policies, the decline in interest rates and the intervention in the exchange and stock markets to
adjust or fix the real value may trigger increases in inflation rates and, consequently, the volatility of
growth and the need for sudden and significant interest rate increases. Besides this, the Company may
not have conditions to adjust the prices to offset the effects of inflation on its cost structure. Any of these
factors could adversely affect the Companys business.

Exchange rate instability may affect the Brazilian economy, as well as the Companys
operations and the market value of its shares.

22

Over the last few decades, the Brazilian currency faced frequent and substantial exchange rate
fluctuations in relation to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies. The real showed significant
devaluation against the U.S. dollar between 2000 and 2002, reaching an exchange rate of R$3.53 per
U$1.00 by the end of 2002. On the other hand, the real appreciated substantially against the U.S. dollar
in the period from 2003 to mid-2008 as a result of stability in the macroeconomic environment and strong
growth in foreign investments in the country, reaching an exchange rate of R$1.56 per US$1.00 in August
2008. As a result of the global financial crisis in mid-2008, the real depreciated 31.9% against the U.S.
dollar, reaching an exchange rate of R$2.34 per US$1.00 by the end of 2008. In 2009, due to the
recovery of the Brazilian economy at a faster rate than the global economy, the real once again
appreciated 25% against the U.S. dollar, reaching an exchange rate of R$1.74 per U$1.00 by December
31, 2009. This recovery also happened in 2010, the real increased 3.4% in comparison to U.S. dollar,
reaching the exchange rate of R$1.67 per U$1.00 in December 31, 2010. In 2011, the dollar reached its
lower price on July 26, when it reached the level of R$1.53 per US$1.00, or an appreciation of 7.1% in
the year. Yet, at the end of the year it showed a devaluation of 13.6% in the year, reaching an exchange
rate of R$1.66 per U$1.00 on December 31.
The depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar could create additional inflationary pressures in the
Brazilian economy and lead to increase the interest rates, which could negatively impact Brazilian
economic growth as a whole, as well as the Companys financial condition and results of operations,
besides limiting access to international financial markets and lead to governmental interventions, which
could include the introduction of recessive policies. In the context of the current slowdown in global
economic activity, the depreciation of the real against the U.S. dollar could also trigger a drop in
consumer spending, as well as create deflationary pressures and result in lower economic growth. On the
other hand, the appreciation of the real in comparison to the U.S. dollar and other foreign currencies in
turn lead to deterioration in the Brazilian balance of payments and a drop in export-based growth.
Depending on the circumstances, the depreciation or appreciation of the real could have a material
adverse effect on the countrys economic growth, as well as on the Companys business and the market
value of the Companys shares.

Events and the perception of risk in other countries, especially the United States and
emerging market countries, may adversely affect the market price of Brazilian securities,
including that of the Companys shares.
The market price of securities issued by Brazilian companies is affected to varying degrees by economic
and market conditions in other countries, including the United States and other Latin American and
emerging market countries. Therefore, investors reactions to developments in these other countries may
have an adverse effect on the market value of securities of Brazilian issuers. Crisis in other emerging
market countries may reduce investor interest in securities issued by Brazilian companies, including those
issued by the Company.
In the past, the development of adverse economic conditions in other emerging market countries
resulted, in general, in capital flight and, as a consequence, in a decrease in the value of foreign
investments in the country. The financial crisis originated in the United States during the third quarter of
2008 triggered a recession of global scale. This adversely affected the Brazilian economy and Brazilian
capital markets, both directly and indirectly, and led to, among other things, fluctuations in the trading
prices of securities issued by publicly owned companies, scarcity of credit, cut in expenditures, slowdown
in the global economy, exchange rate volatility, and inflationary pressures. Any of these factors may
negatively affect the market value of the Companys shares and make it more difficult for it to access
capital markets and finance its operations in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.

The demand for the Companys services is directly linked to the volume of public investment
in the engineering, construction and infrastructure sectors.
The public sector is generally involved in the implementation of large engineering and infrastructure
projects in Brazil, either by means of direct investment in such projects or through financing agreements.
For example, over the coming years, the Company expects that approximately R$955 billion will be
invested between the 2011 to 2014 period to fund public construction projects linked to the Brazilian
23

governments PAC 2 program. According to estimates from BNDES, the public and private sectors are
expected to invest R$3.3 trillion between 2011 and 2014, of which R$ 1.0 trillion in the industry and
R$401 billion in infrastructure. The planned direct investments for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016
Olympic Games totaled R$47 billion by 2014, of which approximately R$11.5 billion for urban mobility,
R$5.6 billion for stadiums and R$4.8 billion for airports, according to Minister of Sports. The Company
believes that the involvement of the public sector will be the key in the viability of such enterprises and in
the execution of such new projects.
In Brazil, public investments have historically been influenced by macroeconomic, political and legal
factors, which are all beyond of the Companys control. Such factors could determine, among other
things, the suspension or cancelation of projects that require the involvement of the public sector. Any
such suspension or cancellation could have a material adverse effect on the Companys clients operations
and on the demand for its services. If estimates regarding the level of future investments in construction
and infrastructure are not correct, or if such investments are not made, the Companys clients operations
(and, consequently, the Companys financial condition and operations) may be adversely affected.

The nature of the services rendered by the Company requires to make significant financial
and technical investments before knowing whether or not it will be hired.
Due to the nature of the services the Company provides, it is required to make substantial initial
investments in the development of new processes, the provision of constant training to its employees
and, in particular, the acquisition of machinery and equipment to be used in the provision of its services.
Some of these investments are carried out before the Company knows whether its services will be used
on a continuous, successive basis and it is exposed to the risk that significant initial investments will not
generate the returns that are anticipated. The Company is particularly vulnerable to a sudden decrease in
the level of demand for its services that would result in an increase in its spare capacity and leave its
revenue-generating assets idle, which could have an adverse affect on its financial condition and results
of operations.

All of the Companys business divisions face significant competition in the markets in which
they operate.
The Company faces strong competition in all of the segments in which it operates. Moreover, the
Company may be exposed in the future to additional competition from new market players, as well as
from foreign competitors entering the Brazilian market. The Company operate in a fragmented market
which demonstrates considerable potential for growth and is served by a substantial number of
companies offering less sophisticated and, therefore, less cost services. The Companys clients decision to
hire a particular service provider is influenced by a number of factors, including the quality of the services,
the reliability of the contractor and its ability to offer innovative solutions, and the price charged for the
services required. The Companys competitors are making substantial efforts to improve their market
positions and the Company may lose certain clients to these competitors, including long-standing clients
that regularly employ its services.
Certain competitors of the Industrial Services division have more experience and greater scale in the
provision of certain industrial maintenance services, and may have greater financial resources. If the
Company is unable to effectively compete against these companies, its market share could decrease,
which would adversely affect the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, if construction companies and companies operating in the oil and gas sector create new inhouse departments to complement their core operations, so as to no longer require the Companys
services (or even to compete with the Company), it may experience a reduction in the demand for its
services, and a potential increase in competition, which may adversely affect its financial condition and
results of operations.

24

The development of engineering solutions and technological innovations which add value to
the Companys services is critical to the protection of its leading market position and to the
expansion of its business.
Due to the nature of the Companys business, it must remain abreast of the latest engineering solutions
and technological innovations in its industry. The Company must employ qualified personnel, maintain an
adequate infrastructure, and expand relationships with suppliers that have a successful track record.
Should the Company fail to provide value-added engineering solutions, or to buy or license new
technologies developed by third-parties on acceptable terms, the services rendered by the Company could
become outdated or obsolete in comparison to the services offered by its competitors. Any failure to
remain at the technological forefront of the industry would adversely affect its relationship with clients
and, consequently, its financial condition and results of operations.

h.

to the sectors regulation in which the issuer acts.

Costs related to laws and workplace safety regulations as well as those third-party
professionals. Such costs can be relevant and impact adversely the Companys results.
As of December 31, 2011, the Company had 4,541 employees, most of them either based at its
equipment warehouses or engaged in the assembly of equipment used in the Industrial Services division
and in the provision of services offered by such division. Due to the nature of the services provided, both
the Companys employees and employees of third parties face risks when executing its projects, which
could result in serious injury or death. In accordance with existing labor laws and regulations, the
Companys required to provide and ensure the use of safety equipment for its employees and other
individuals working on its projects, under the Companys responsibility. If the Company fail to provide all
necessary safety equipment and ensure its proper use, or if it works with companies that are not
sufficiently committed to ensuring the safety of their staff, the Company could be deemed responsible for
any accidents that take place at the worksites where it provides services. Any accidents at the worksites
where it provides its services could potentially reduce the number of able bodied employees available to
carry out its operations and would expose the Company to the payment of fines and penalties.
Any changes to existing safety regulations may impose additional obligations on the Company and result
in an increase in its expenses with respect to safety equipment and procedures. The Company cannot
predict whether any such changes would have a significant impact on its operations. For example,
changes imposing a reduced work day, for safety reasons, could result in a drop in employee productivity,
therefore forcing the Company to hire additional staff. Similarly, provisions requiring the Company to install
additional safety components could increase the cost of its equipment and, therefore, adversely impact its
operating costs and results.
In addition, the Company engaged a third-party labor provider to hire temporary employees during periods
of rapid increases in the demand for the Companys services, particularly for the Companys Industrial
Services division. As a result, the Company could be considered responsible for meeting any employment
obligations relating to such professionals, or deemed to be their employer under the terms of existing laws
and regulations, and would be subject to potential costs associated with failure to comply with workplace
safety regulations with respect to such professionals. Besides, the editing of stricter legal and regulatory
provisions regarding the use of outsourced personnel, or of provisions imposing additional obligations on
the contractor of outsourced services, could increase the Companys labor costs and have a negative
effect on its financial condition and results of operations.

The technical requirements and the use of the Companys equipments, as well as, the way
which the Company renders its services, may suffer relevant changes due to the incident of
drastic climate change. Moreover, the Companys inability to adapt to climate change may
adversely affect its business and financial results. Additionally, the Company is subjected to
several environmental laws and regulations that may become stricter in the future, as a
response to the drastic climate changes, and may result in higher duties and greater capital
investment.
25

Climate change, including flooding or erosion caused by increased rainfall, could adversely affect the
technical requirements in the projects and equipments to which the Company is subjected to, the way in
which the Company uses its equipment and the way it render its services. For instance, increased rainfall
could interfere with the Companys ability to perform industrial painting services. In addition, variations in
weather caused by climate change may lead to postponements in project schedules, which in turn may
lead to a decrease in the demand for the Companys services. The Companys inability to adapt its
operations to such climate change and maintain its quality standards from our equipment and services,
may lead to a decrease in its market share, adversely affecting its business and financial results.
The Companys operations are subject to several federal, state and municipal environmental laws and
regulations, including protocols and international treaties to which Brazil is party. Such regulatory
framework may become more stringent in the future due to, among other things, climate change.
Compliance with the provisions of these laws and regulations is monitored by certain governmental bodies
and agencies that are responsible for applying administrative sanctions in the event of the breach of any
relevant provisions. These sanctions may consist of fines ranging from R$500 to R$50,000,000, result in
the cancelation of our licenses and, ultimately, the temporary or permanent suspension of the Companys
operations, among other penalties. Environmental laws and regulations may become stricter in the future,
which may require the Company to make additional investments in compliance and, as a result, affect its
existing investment program. Such changes may cause an adversely affect to its financial condition and
results of operations. Besides, the failure to comply with such laws and regulations, such as operating
without the necessary environmental licenses and permits, or failing to adequately dispose of residues
arising from the Companys painting and equipment maintenance services, may result in the application of
criminal and administrative sanctions, as well as the obligation to repair the alleged harm or pay penalties
for any potential damage to the environment. Criminal sanctions may include, among other things, the
arrest of the persons responsible for the breach, the revocation or restriction of tax incentives and the
cancelation or suspension of credit facilities provided by public financial institutions. The Company could
also be prohibited from providing services to the public sector. The application of any of these sanctions
could have an adverse effect on the Companys revenues and prevent us from being able to raise capital
in the financial markets. The introduction of additional environmental obligations in the future as a result
of legal or regulatory changes or as a consequence of an increase in the environmental impact of the
Companys operations, or failure to obtain any necessary environmental licenses and permits, may result
in additional and substantial compliance costs and have an adverse effect on its business, financial
condition and results of operations.

4.2
Comments on the Companys expectations to reduce or increase its exposure to the
risks factors
The Company is constantly analyzing the risks to which it is exposed to and which may adversely affect its
business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is constantly monitoring changes in
the macroeconomic and sector scenarios that can influence its activities through monitoring of key
performance indicators. Currently, the Company has not identified the any scenario that can increase or
decrease its exposure to the risks listed in the item 4.1 above.

taxpayer executed with its affiliate Mills Equipamentos Ltda a lease
agreement of some equipment of its production.
At first, the
agreement provided that the amounts would be paid on a monthly
basis and adjusted at the OTN rate. On January 5, 1998, the parties
entered into a new agreement whereby the rent would be paid
annually, but that the adjustment would still be made on a monthly
basis. However, on August 3, 1998, there was the execution of the reratification agreement whereby the parties ratified the agreement that
the payment would be annual and agreed that the adjustment would
also be made at the average rate of OTN. The Tax Authority
understood that the lessee should have paid, until January 5, 1998, the
IRPJ and the CSLL levied upon the amounts supposed received by way
of rent in the first seven months of the year. In the Companys
defense, it claimed that no amount was due in the period, because
according to the terms of the agreement executed with the affiliate the
amount would only be paid to the Company at the end of the fiscal
year, for which reason the taxable event of the said taxes had not yet
occurred.

Main facts

Compliance with legal quota regarding the employment of disabled

comply with the legal quota regarding the employment of disabled
workers. The Public Labor Prosecution Office requested an injunction to
compel our company to employ disabled workers in line with the
minimum percentage set by the applicable legislation.
The prosecutors also seek our conviction for collective punitive
damages allegedly caused by our company.
Our defense claims that the principal operations carried out by our
company require the employment of persons capable of meeting
rigorous physical demands, such as workers for the assembly of
scaffolding structures, painters, high pressure water gun operators,
and workers in the provision of insulation services. These activities are
performed under very demanding physical conditions, which makes the
employment of disabled workers impractical, as such workers would be
exposed to a significantly higher risk of accident. As of the date of this
reference form, no decision has been handed down in respect of this
public civil action.

MARKET RISKS

5.1

Description of the main market risks.

Interest Rate Risk


The Company's indebtedness is denominated in reais, subject to floating interest rates, particularly the
Interbank deposit certificate - CDI and Long-term interest rate -TJLP rates. There is a risk that the
Company might incur losses on account of interest rate fluctuations that increase the finance expense of
loans and financing raised in the market. In December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the CDI rate was of
8.6%, 10.6% and 10.9%, respectively, and the TJLP rate was of 6.0% during the same period. It is
Company policy not to use any instrument to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. This is a
market risk arising from macroeconomic and regulatory conditions to which all companies operating in
Brazil are subject.
The Company analyzes its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated
taking into consideration refinancing, financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Company
defines a reasonable change in the interest rate. The scenarios are run only for liabilities that represent
the major interest-bearing positions. See below the sensitivity analysis of potential interest rate
fluctuations.
Sensitivity analysis
The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments, including the derivatives,
describing the risks that could generate material losses for the Company, with the most probable scenario
(scenario I), as assessed by management, considering the three-month horizon until the next financial
information containing this analysis is due for disclosure. Two other scenarios are also shown, as required
by the Brazilian Securities Commission - CVM, in Instruction No. 475/2008, in order to show deterioration
of 25% and 50% in the risk variable considered, respectively (scenarios II and III):

1 Regarding interest risk, the Company's management considered as likely premise (scenario I) for its financial instruments to the maintenance of the Selic
rate, consequently, the CDI rate also, since there is a direct relationship between the rates, and a rate increase as premise for the other two scenarios.
2 For financial liabilities related to loans and financing - BNDES, the Company's management considered as likely premise (scenario I) would be the
maintenance of the TJLP for the next three months, since there is no evidence of a change in the short term, and a rate increase as a premise for the other two
scenarios.

37

Inflation risk
The Company seeks to reflect inflation rates in the prices that are charged for its products and services.
However, Brazilian laws and regulations provide that long-term agreements may only be adjusted for
inflation once every 12 months. The main inflation indexes used by the Company to adjust prices under
long-term agreements are IGP-M and IPCA. In addition, the Companys payroll is affected by salary
increases negotiated under collective bargaining agreements, which are usually in line with increases in
the main Brazilian inflation indexes.
During 2010, the IGP-M index calculated by FGV was of 5.1%, while the IPCA index announced by IBGE
was of 6.5%.

Exchange Rate Risk


The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with
respect to the US dollar and the euro. Foreign exchange risk arises from future imports of equipment,
mainly telescopic handlers, aerial platforms and formwork.
It is Company policy, conservatively, to eliminate 100% of cash risk related to exchange rate, since all of
its revenue is received in Brazilian reais. As a consequence, the Company has entered into swap and NonDeliverable Forwards agreements with financial institutions for hedging purposes. All these contracts
provide for a simple exchange of indexes under which the financial institution assumes the foreign
exchange risk and the Company, in counterpart, undertakes to pay interest on the notional amount
(corresponding to the original amount of its foreign currency liability).
As a result from hedging operations, the Company had no exposure to exchange rate fluctuations as of
December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The Company had no exposure to the exchange rate for the motorized equipments already bought.
However, since these equipments are not produced in Brazil, the Company is exposed to exchange rate
for future investments in such equipments either to replace and/or increase its fleet.
As seen below, the sensitivity analysis of possible fluctuations on exchange rates.

Risk of Price Fluctuation of Raw Materials and Imported Equipment


Increases in the price of commodities used for manufacturing the equipment necessary for the provision
of the Companys services, such as steel and aluminum, at rates higher than those recorded by the
Brazilian inflation indexes used for adjustments of the prices charged, may have an adverse effect on the
Companys future profitability unless these increases can be factored into prices.
Additionally, for imported equipment contracts, as is the case of the Rental Division, the exchange rate
increases above inflation also have a negative impact on the Companys future profitability, until these
increases can be factored into prices.

Credit Risk (Trade Receivables)


The Company periodically bills the outstanding amounts due by its clients for rentals and services,
generally for periods of 30 to 45 days, with average receipt terms of 50 days. Accordingly, it is subject to
the risk of default on accounts receivable. The default rates are relatively low, which can be attributed to
the background of long relationships with clients and, in the case of the Jahu and Rental Divisions, the
pulverized client and project bases. The Company's trade credit portfolio comprises primarily Brazilian
clients. The Company records a provision for impairment when it judges that there is a risk of default on
the amounts due.
Client credit risk management is exercised by the Company's financial management, which assesses the
clients' financial capacity to pay. This analysis is made prior to the effective commercial agreement
between the parties and involves an individual analysis of each client, taking mainly the following
information into consideration: (i) registered data; (ii) financial information and indicators; (iii) risk
categories (SERASA methodology); (iv) majority interests and; (v) pending items and protests in Serasa.
It is not Company practice to obtain financial guarantees from its clients to manage credit risks.

Policy description for managing market risks

a.

Risks for which protection is sought

The Companys activities are exposed to several financial risks (including risks of interest rate, inflation,
exchange rate, price fluctuation from raw materials and imported equipment and credit risk). The risk
management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential
adverse effects on the Company's financial performance. The Company uses derivative financial
instruments to hedge against certain risk exposures and has a policy not to participate in any trading of
derivatives for speculative purposes.
Risk management is carried out by the Finance department, under policies approved by the Board of
Directors. The Finance department identifies, evaluates and protects the Company from financial risks in
co-operation with the Company's operating units. The Finance department establishes principles for
overall risk management, as well as for specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk,
credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and
investment of housing surplus.

b.

Asset protection strategy (hedge)

The Company intends on using financial derivative instruments locally and abroad to manage the
exchange and interest rate fluctuation risks. In accordance with the accounting principles generally
accepted in Brazil, the derivative contracts are going to be recorded to the balance sheet based on the
fair market value recognized in the revenues statements, unless in cases when the specific hedging
criteria are met. The market value estimations are going to be held on a specific date, usually based on
the mark-to-market.

c.

Instruments used for asset protection (hedge)

In order to protect equity from exposure to foreign currency commitments, the Company developed a
strategy to mitigate the market risk. When applied, the objective of the strategy is to reduce the volatility
of the desirable cash flow, maintaining the planned disbursement of resources. The Company considers
management of these risks essential to support its growth strategy without potential financial losses
reducing its operating income, as the Company does not seek financial gains from derivatives. Foreign
currency risk management is carried out by the Financial Management and Directors, who assess the
potential exposure to risks and establish guidelines for measurement, monitoring and management of the
risks of the Company's operations. Based on this objective, the Company contracts derivative operations,
normally swaps and NDF (Non Deliverable Forwards), with prime financial institutions (brAAA credit rating
- national scale, Standard & Poor's or similar), to guarantee the commercial value agreed on ordering the
item to be imported. Similarly, swap or NDF contracts should be contracted to guarantee the payment
flow (amortization of principal and interest) of foreign currency financing. Under the Company's by-laws,
any contract or assumption of obligation in excess of R$ 10,000 (ten million reais) must be approved by
the Board, unless foreseen in the Business Plan. It is not necessary to contract hedge operations for
amounts of less than R$ 100 (one hundred thousand reais), with maturities of less than 90 days. Other
commitments should be protected against foreign exchange exposure.
Swap and NDF transactions are carried out to translate future foreign currency financial commitments into
reais. By contracting these operations, the Company minimizes the foreign exchange risk by leveling both
the amount of the commitment and the exposure period. The cost of contracting the derivative is tied to
the interest rate, normally to the CDI (Interbank deposit certificate) percentage. Swaps and NDFs
maturing before or after the final maturity of the commitments may, in time, be renegotiated so that their
final maturities are the same as - or close to - the final maturity of the commitment. In this way, on the
settlement date, the result of the swap and the NDF may offset part of the impact of the exchange
variation of the foreign currency against the real, assisting stabilization of the cash flow.
40

As derivatives, the monthly position is calculated by the fair value methodology, calculating the present
value by applying the market rates that are impacted on the determination dates. This widely used
methodology may result in monthly distortions in relation to the curve of the derivative contracted,
however, the Company is of the opinion that this is the best methodology to use, as it measures the
financial risk in the event of the need for early settlement of the derivative. By monitoring the
commitments assumed and the monthly valuation of the fair value of the derivatives, it is possible to
monitor the financial results and the impact on the cash flow and to ensure that the original objectives are
achieved. The calculation of the fair value of the positions is provided monthly for management
supervision. The derivative instruments contracted by the Company are intended to protect its equipment
import operations against fluctuations in the exchange rate in the interval between placing the order and
the corresponding formal receipt in Brazil. They are not used for speculative purposes. As of December
31, 2011, the Company had equipment purchase orders with foreign suppliers amounting approximately
to US$ 36.9 million and EUR 84,300 (in 2009, such orders amounted to US$ 72.8 million and EUR
127,500), all of them with payments expected during 2012.
In order to reduce the Companys exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between the date of the order
and the date of the settlement of these obligations, the Company hired derivative instruments
represented by swap contracts in the aggregate amount of R$68.0 million, which fair value on December
31, 2011, totalized R$2.8 million, as presented in the table below.

Heavy Construction Division


With R$131.6 million of net revenue in 2011, the Company estimates, according to data published by the
O Empreiteiro magazine in 2011, that its Heavy Construction division is Brazils leading provider of
specialty engineering solutions and equipment in revenue. In this segment, the Companys focus is
directed to large engineering projects, including infrastructure projects toward the logistics sectors
(specially railways, underground urban networks, highways, airports, ports and shipyards), social and
urban infrastructure (including sanitation networks) and energy (primarily regarding hydroelectric,
thermoelectric and nuclear plants), besides the industrial and large building construction projects. Such
projects are characterized by long-term (usually over one year), usually developed by the major
construction companies in Brazil.
The Company offers to the clients of the Heavy Construction division customized engineering solutions
according to the specific characteristics of each project, the peculiarities of the construction or
development location, and the complexity of the work to be undertaken, which the Company believes
helps to facilitate execution and reduce costs. Given the Companys extensive experience in the sectors in
which the Heavy Construction division operates, at the request of its clients the Company often
participates in the initial studies to help prepare bidding proposals for large engineering projects.
The Company believes that its main competitive advantages are its expertise, agility, reliability, quality
and safety standards, as well as its ability to provide equipment on a large scale, factors that contribute to
the reduction of overall duration and costs from its clients projects. The Company provides services
throughout the Brazilian territory and also in international projects from its customers, providing high value
service and providing equipment. The Company has a history of long-standing relationships with almost
all of the largest and best-known companies in the construction sector, including Construtora Norberto
Odebrecht S.A., Camargo Corra S.A., Andrade Gutierrez S.A., Construtora OAS Ltd. and Construtora
Queiroz Galvo S.A.
The Companys extensive track record includes participation on several of the largest and most important
infrastructure projects in Brazil, such as the construction of the city of Braslia (Brazils capital), the Rio de
Janeiro-Niteri Bridge and the Itaipu hydroelectric plant. More recently, the Company assisted in the
construction of the State of So Paulo Beltway (Rodoanel), the subway systems in the cities of Rio de
Janeiro and So Paulo, the Santos Dumont and Congonhas airports in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and So
Paulo, respectively, the Santo Antnio and Jirau hydroelectric plants in the north of Brazil and the Joo
Havelange Olympic Stadium in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Typical contract terms for this division range
from six to 24 months, as the services that the Company provides are critical during an extended phase of
major civil construction projects.
In order to facilitate the implementation of solutions that the Company idealizes, its offered to the clients,
through rental contracts and in some cases sales, a wide range of equipments, including concrete forms
and shoring structures, which include projects and technical studies, technical support and necessary
training for its proper use. Taking into account the specific needs from a particular project, there is
flexibility to hire the manufacture of special shaped equipments for specific construction works.
The Companys clients generally use their own employees to implement the solutions developed by the
Heavy Construction division. However, for complex projects or at the request of its clients, the Company
is able provide labor for the assembly and disassembly of its equipment.
Due to the complexity and size of the projects in which the Heavy Construction division is engaged,
revenues for this division depend significantly on the volume of investment in large-scale engineering
projects, primarily by the public sector, and on availability of credit for such projects.

52

The Company believes that the favorable long-term macroeconomic fundamentals in Brazil and the need
for investments in large infrastructure projects, including investments under the Brazilian governments
PAC program and those related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, as well as future
projects with the objective of overcoming the bottleneck of Brazilian infrastructure deficiencies, represent
a major opportunity for future growth.
The chart below, presents the financial information for the Heavy Construction Division on the indicated
periods:

Industrial Services Division


The Industrial Services division is focused on the provision of services to the oil and gas sector, as well as
to the chemical and petrochemical, naval, steel, pulp and paper, and mining industries. The Industrial
Services division was established in the 1980s with the recognition that certain equipment used in its civil
construction projects could also be employed to provide access to the structures and facilities of large
industrial plants. At that time, the Company began renting access equipment, such as scaffolding
systems, to carry out maintenance work in industrial plants, rapidly, expanding its services in the
industrial sector to include assembly and disassembly, a sector that the Company believed could easily
exploit in view of its past expertise in civil construction, and in sequence, it also began offering specialized
maintenance services, in particular, industrial painting and thermal insulation, which started to compete
with companies that had regularly rented the Companys access equipment for these purposes of
providing such surface treatment services and helping its clients manage their costs more effectively as
they were able to reduce the number of suppliers contracted for the provision of such services. This way,
the Industrial Services division provides the equipment and also the labor required for the provision of its
services, being labor-intensive.
Based on data published on 2011 by the O Empreiteiro magazine, the Company believes to be one of
Brazils major players in providing structures designed to provide access for personnel and materials
during the assembly of equipments and pipes, during the construction of industrial plants, as in the
maintenance phase, preventive and corrective. The Company also offers industrial painting services,
surface treatments and thermal insulation.
The Industrial Services Division works, generally, together with the industrial contractor or the plants
maintenance department in planning, erecting and dismantling structures, when and where they are
needed, and performing painting and insulation, with own labor, as a way to guarantee the quality and
safety of its execution.
The contracts from the Industrial Services Division with its clients are usually long-term, from one to three
years, being able to be renewed at the end of the contracted period. On most cases, this Division is
generally paid based on units of finished services or in service levels, such as meters of erected
scaffolding, or square meters of painted or insulated surface, being able to hire on a man-hour based
price.
53

Currently, the Company provides two types of services:


Maintenance. Most of the revenue from this division, 73.7% of net revenue in 2011, are from
maintenance services in existing plants and facilities on a continuous basis, where most contracts have
from one to two years term, which are often successively renewed for equal terms. Additional revenue is
generated by the provision of scheduled maintenance services usually carried out once a year and which
generally require an extended interruption of its clients operations. Because its clients necessarily suffer
losses as a result of any extended interruptions, the Company believes that it has a competitive
advantage based on its proven ability to provide maintenance services quickly and safely, as evidenced by
its high rate of repeat business.
New Plants. The Company also offers services in connection with the assembly of new industrial plants, oil
and gas platforms and vessels, which are often provided as a natural extension of the services rendered
by the Heavy Construction division. The revenue generated through the assembly of new projects and
structures represented 26.3% of the total revenue of the Industrial Services division in 2011. The
Company expects that future investments in the sectors in which the Industrial Services division operates,
in particular the petrochemical and oil and gas sectors, will lead to a significant increase in revenue
generated from assembly services rendered by the Industrial Services division. The Company also seeks
to develop long-term relationships with its new plants clients, with the objective of establishing
agreements for the provision of maintenance services.
The Industrial Services division is present in the main industrial centers in Brazil (the states of Rio de
Janeiro, So Paulo, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul), and has a long history of
developing innovative solutions and making on-time or early delivery of projects, including with respect to
deep sea oil platforms.
The Company believes that the Industrial Services divisions clients value its reliability, consistent quality
and award-winning safety performance. These qualifications have yielded high client renewal rates (86%
in 2011), and have allowed us to develop long-lasting relationships with clients such as the corporate
groups Dow do Brasil, Braskem and Fibria, for whom the Company has worked continually for up to 15
years. Clients seek the Company for expert, fast and flexible delivery of equipment and highly skilled
installation, as well as in-depth understanding of local needs.
The main sectors served by the Industrial Services division are oil and gas, petrochemicals, steel, paper
and pulp, mining, and naval. The Companys clients include some of the largest industrial groups in Brazil,
such as Arcelor Mittal, Braskem, Companhia Siderrgica Nacional, Dow do Brasil, Petrobras. The Industrial
Services division has significant synergies with the Heavy Construction division. After the completion of
the concrete structures in large industrial projects, such as plants or refineries, its clients often engage
the Industrial Services division to support the industrial construction of the plant and subsequently to
provide preventive and corrective maintenance.
The Companys commitment to safety, which is reflected in all of its operations, is particularly critical to
the clients from this Division, many of which operate according to international safety standards
established by their headquarters. Many of its clients operations involve the use of flammable and toxic
substances. Seeking continuous improvement, along the years, the Industrial Services division has
secured several international safety certifications, such as OHSAS 18001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The
Companys commitment to the application of robust safety standards has also been recognized by its
clients, as demonstrated by the following awards: Destaque Petrobrs, Braskem Ouro, TOP Copene,
Prmio Isopol de Segurana, Prmio DOW for 13 consecutive years of providing services without work
loss time injuries, Prmio 5 Estrelas Arcelor Mittal (five star award), Prmio Excelncia na Construo
Bahia (excellency in construction), Prmio Performance SSMA Millennium Cristal , Prmio
Reconhecimento pelos resultados de SSMA in the Braskem unit at Alagoas, Prmio Zero Acidente
Reportvel - Dow.
The Company's strategy for this division is to increase its profitability by identifying opportunities of
complementary services with higher added value and hence higher profitability, to offer its customers,
mainly in the offshore market.

Jahu Division
While the Heavy Construction Division is focused on large engineering and infrastructure projects, the
Jahu Division attends, primarily, the residential and commercial construction contractors, developing
projects and providing services of concrete formwork, scaffolding, shoring and access equipment. The
Company also provides engineering services in connection with building refurbishing and maintenance,
primarily through the provision of suspended scaffolding. Inside of this Division's activities, the Company
provides planning, project development, technical supervision, equipment and related services.
With outstanding performance in the sector for over 50 years and being one of the major leaders for ten
years in net revenue terms, Jahu is a strong, well-established brand in the residential and commercial
construction markets, acquiring an extensive client base along its history. Due to that, as part of its
expansion and diversification strategy, the Company invested, in June 2008, R$60.1 million so that Jahu
could be incorporated in the group, becoming one of the business Divisions. Since then the Company has
been improving Jahus performance by introducing the concrete formwork in the product portfolio,
increasing significantly the equipment inventory, capitalizing on the strong brand names of both Jahu
and Mills and therefore increasing its client base.
The residential and commercial construction sector in Brazil is fragmented. When compared to the Heavy
Construction market, the projects from this division, are generally dispersed within cities, are smaller in
size and have shorter durations, being the average contract term of four and a half months. The
recognized reputation on the Brazilian market is a really important factor for the Companys success in the
activities from this division. Its main competitive advantage is the extensive presence at a large number of
worksites, which enables it, together with its clients, to analyze the job needs and to supply the requested
services and equipment on demand.
Its main clients are the largest real estate companies, such as AGRA Empreendimentos Imobilirios S.A,
Emcamp Residencial S.A., Gafisa S.A., JFE 2 Empreendimentos Imobilirios Ltda, PDG Realty S.A, Queiroz
Galvo Master Desenvolvimento Ltda.
The Jahu divisions operations are concentrated in the Southeast and South regions of Brazil, which are
the most economically developed and densely populated in the country. However, the Brazilian
government is introducing initiatives such as the low income housing program Minha Casa, Minha Vida to
reduce the Brazilian housing deficit and increase the number of homes available in the North and
Northeast regions of the country. In order to join this expansion program and take advantage of the
expected public investments in this market, in 2009 the Jahu division began an expansion plan, which
launched one branch in 2009, eight in 2010 and one in 2011.
The Company believes that the growth perspectives for the Jahu Division are positive in the long-term
outlook, as a result of the projected growth of the Brazilian real estate industry, the expansion of the
mortgage financing, the recent fundraising by several large Brazilian real estate developers, the large
public housing programs, such as the Brazilian governments program Minha Casa, Minha Vida and the
55

tendency of the major developers to contract the services from large nationwide suppliers, such as the
company.

Rental Division
The Company is one of the largest providers of motorized access equipment, in Brazil, supplying aerial
work platforms and telescopic handlers, to lift people and cargo to considerable heights, based on data
published in the O Empreiteiro magazine in 2011. The equipment enables safe, fast, versatile and
precise access for professionals to perform tasks safely and efficiently at heights from two to 48 meters.
The handlers allows materials weighing up to 4,500 kg to be lifted, transported and delivered to heights
of over 17 meters, at a job site or within an industrial plant.
The Rental division serves the same sectors as the other divisions, such as heavy or residential and
commercial construction and industrial construction and maintenance, as well as other economic sectors,
as the automotive, retail and logistics sectors, among others. Therefore, its client base is diverse,
including clients from the other divisions, such as Camargo Corra S.A., Construtora OAS Ltd., Construtora
Norberto Odebrecht S.A., Construtora Queiroz Galvo S.A., UTC Engenharia S.A. and etc. Generally, the
Company rents equipment on a monthly basis, being the average contract length from two to three
months, although 18-month or even longer contracts.
The Company introduced the large-scale use in Brazil of motorized access equipment specific for height
purposes in 1997, when it entered into a joint venture agreement with the American company JLG
Industries Inc., world leader in access equipment manufacturing, to rent aerial platforms and telescopic
handlers, the first joint venture in JLGs history.
In 1999, the Company introduced the large-scale use of telescopic handlers in the Brazilian market. This
motorized equipment can be used to transport loads to various heights and replaces a number of other
pieces of equipment traditionally used at construction sites, such as cranes, munck trucks and service lifts,
among other equipment. In 2001, Sullair, an Argentine equipment rental company, replaced JLG as the
Companys partner. In 2003, due to unfavorable market conditions in Brazil and the lack of capital
necessary to carry out essential investments, the Company suspended its equipment rental operations
and transferred the joint venture to Sullair.
In December 2007, as part of its diversification strategy and based on favorable market and credit
conditions, the Company established its Rental division and began renting aerial platforms and telescopic
handlers again.
According to the Companys estimates, based on data of 2011 from Terex and Brazilian import statistic of
2011, there are currently 13,812 aerial platforms and 1,965 telescopic handlers in Brazil. In comparison,
614,000 aerial platforms and 175,000 telescopic handlers are available in the United States based on data
56

provided by Yengst Associates. The Company believes that this gap, together with the current favorable
economic conditions in Brazil, indicates that this rental market is incipient in Brazil, offering significant
opportunities for expansion in the segment. The Company believes that its scale, specific industrial sector
expertise, reliability and safety record have been the primary factors driving the growth of the Rental
division since the beginning of its activities in 2008.
In addition, the Company may benefit from the introduction of stricter technical norms and procedures, in
particular with respect to safety regulations for work performed at significant heights or in areas that are
difficult to access. Among other provisions, Regulatory Norm 18 establishes that workers must be lifted
with the use of motorized access equipment, rather than manual equipment, which has resulted in an
expansion of the potential market for rental of its equipment. The Company believes that the long-term
outlook for the Rental division is strong as a result of favorable macroeconomic conditions in Brazil,
including exchange rate stability, considerable infrastructure construction investments under the Brazilian
governments PAC program, the Brazilian governments low income housing program and the overall
growth of the real estate industry in Brazil, anticipated industrial plant expansions (including major
investments in the oil and gas sector), investments related to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympic
Games, and the multitude of other projects that will require safe working conditions at elevated heights.

Heavy Construction Division

Offered Equipment
The main equipment offered by the Company to the clients of the Heavy Construction division includes:
Steel Shoring Equipment. The primary shoring equipment the Company provides are Millstour
shoring posts, a versatile system capable of supporting loads ranging from 24 to over 156 tons
per post, depending on the configuration. In accordance with the Companys market perception,
its shoring equipment is considered the most flexible and versatile shoring system in Brazil. This
system provides for ease of assembly with its heaviest component parts weighing less than 13
kilograms. Each shoring post has an automatic locking element and can support loads of up to six
tons. Load-bearing capacity may be doubled or even tripled with the use of connecting trusses. In
addition, these telescopic shoring posts are fully adjustable to meet nearly any height
requirement and may be used in multiple applications. Millstour is typically used in the
construction of bridges, viaducts and dams, as well as in large-scale industrial projects.

57

Shoring Aluminium. The main equipment used is the Alu-Mills, a system of aluminum shoring with
load capacity up to 14 tons, which can be connected by trusses forming isolated towers of
different heights. This system also allows total displacement of the joint without the need for
disassembly also bringing significant labor savings. Compared to the shoring post systems or
conventional steel shoring, this system is the one with the lightest weight / resistance, saving
very much in the amount of equipment deployed in the works. The Alu-Mills can be used in
buildings and even heavy construction works reaching a wide range of application.
Trusses. The Aspen Launching Truss is a motorized horizontal truss able to transport and position
precast beams weighing up to 140 tons and spanning up to 45 meters. This truss may be used
during all stages of a construction project, from the delivery of the beams at the construction site
to positioning the beams on permanent supports. The truss may also be used to launch braces for
the construction of viaducts with a high degree of safety and minimum labor. No additional
equipment is required to launch such braces, as the Aspen Launching Truss also transports the
supports, stands and other accessories required for launching such braces. Moreover, the truss
may be operated at inclines as steep as 6% without additional components and without any
deterioration in its load-bearing capacity. The Aspen Launching Truss is typically used in the
construction of bridges, viaducts and industrial structures. The M150 Truss is a horizontal heavy
duty truss used for laying concrete. The Company believes that the M150 Truss has the highest
load-bearing capacity among similar products in the market, while remaining as light as
conventional trusses. The M150 can bear positive stress of 150 tons per meter and negative
stress of 100 tons per meter, thus requiring fewer modules than for conventional trusses and less
movement of materials, which reduces costs for labor and secondary equipment. The Company
believe that the M150 Truss is the only truss available in the market which is able to absorb
negative stress and which includes a curvature adjustment mechanism. The lower rail supports
the truss via an exclusive connecting post, eliminating the need for additional supports. The
Companys Truss can be operated either with the use of supporting structures, or through the
even distribution of weight, providing it with the capacity to be operated at significant heights
over great spans.
Reusable Steel Concrete Formwork. Formwork is used to shape concrete structures. There are
two main types of formwork: vertical formwork for casting of walls and columns, and horizontal
formwork for molding beams and slabs. The Company entered the concrete formwork market in
1980 through a joint venture with the Canadian company Aluma, which provided know-how
regarding the manufacturing of steel formwork, which is extremely light. In addition, the
Company entered into a license agreement with the German company NOE Schaltechnik in 1996,
which allowed us to manufacture and distribute NOE formwork in Brazil, using SL 2000 steel
panels. In 2005, the Company began working with ALU-L steel panels. These panels have a large
area and support a concrete pressure of up to 60 kilograms per square meter, and yet are light
enough to be moved by a single worker. The introduction of ALU-L steel panels represented a
significant innovation in the heavy construction industry. Also in 2005, the Company introduced
Deck Mills, a steel formwork system for casting concrete slabs that is extremely simple to
assemble and disassemble, which helps reduce construction time.
The Company also provides a formwork system named Aluma Light, a floating table system
designed for creating large single slabs of concrete of up to 90 square meters for use in projects
which involve the construction of a large number of identical floors, such as for the construction
of high-rise structures. The floating table system can be transported from one floor to the next
with the use of a crane and without need for disassembly, thus reducing labor costs and overall
construction time.
Prior to the development of steel formwork, the construction industry relied heavily on wood
formwork, which had a short useful life and which was very heavy and required a large number of
workers for each project. In contrast, steel formwork has a useful life of more than 10 years, is
available in a number of different sizes and shapes, and can be transported and installed either
manually or with the help of the proper equipment. Consequently, the use of steel formwork as
opposed to wood formwork allows for a significant reduction in construction costs, primarily labor
58

costs, with as much as a 70% reduction in costs according to the Companys estimates. The
Company believes that the broad range of systems offered by the Company, together with its
extensive experience in the provision of customized engineering solutions, provides a significant
advantage over its competitors in the provision of concrete formwork solutions.
Access Scaffolding. The Company offers a scaffolding system called Elite, which is a tubular metal
tower system that can be assembled into access structures of varying heights and dimensions.
Elite is a simple system composed of only three types of pieces: support posts, transverse pieces
and diagonal supports, manufactured from galvanized steel. Each post can bear loads of up to
three tons. No tools, bolts or screws are required to assemble the scaffolding system as each part
is simply slotted into each other part. On average, a single worker is generally able to assemble 15
linear meters of scaffolding per hour.
Industrial Services Division

Offered Services and Equipment


The Industrial Services Division is divided into project and providing access, thermal insulation and
industrial painting solutions.
Access. The Industrial Services division offers engineering solutions, equipment and labor relating
to the provision of access to construction sites, plants and other structures, for the performance
of maintenance and assembly work. Most of the equipment used for this purpose has been
designed by the Company, and the main products adopted in the provision of these services are
the scaffolding systems TuboMills, Elite and Mills Lock. The latter two have slotting mechanisms
and can therefore be assembled without clamps, which results in reduced assembly time. The
platforms for these systems are being transitioned from wood to metal, either steel or aluminum,
due to the longer useful life, higher load-bearing capacity, and slotting mechanisms of such metal
platforms. In addition, the Company offers customized safety products, such as skirting boards,
that help prevent objects from falling. Finally, the Company uses specially designed ladders and in
some cases mechanical lifts for quick movement between levels.
Assembly and Disassembly of Access Equipment. In most cases, the Companys clients require to
assemble the access structures for the provision of maintenance services. The Company provides
continuous technical operation and safety training to its employees for the use of such equipment
specific to the needs of the work to be performed at the plants and facilities of its clients. The
Companys employees use individual safety equipment in compliance with the characteristics of
each workplace during the complete operation in which its equipment is in use, as evidenced by
technical reports prepared by its safety engineers.
Industrial Painting. The industrial painting process includes the following stages: (1) evaluation of
the technical treatment needs of each surface, which is performed in partnership with its clients;
(2) use of its equipment or aerial platforms provided by the Rental division to access the surface
to be painted (if the Company is unable to access the surface with the use of its equipment, the
Company engages its specialized climbing painters in the performance of the work); (3)
preparation of the surface to be painted, which is a critical stage in the process and consists of
the removal of the existing layer of paint with the use of high pressure water guns (or other
abrasive means complying with national and international technical norms and procedures); (4)
priming of the surface for the application of the new layer of paint and anti-corrosive treatment;
and (5) application of the new layer of paint. The Company also performs industrial painting
operations inside boilers, furnaces and tanks. Environmental concerns have led the Company to
invest heavily in additional employee training for its employees and the progressive suspension of
the use of abrasive chemicals and other materials for paint removal and their replacement with
high pressure water guns. The Company has also adopted new models of painting chambers that
allow the workspace to be completely isolated from the surrounding environment.

59

Insulation. The provision of services relating to the removal and replacement of insulation is key
to the operation of companies that work with fluids, due to the high temperatures to which
volatile fluids are exposed while travelling through pipes, ducts and equipment. The Company
uses a special foam for basic insulation and external coating, the characteristics of which differ
according to the type of structure to be insulated. In most cases, the existing insulation cannot be
repaired, requiring the removal of the existing layer of foam and the application of a new layer of
insulation whenever a pipe or similar insulated equipment requires maintenance work.
Pressurized environment modules. Mills Habitat, Scottish technology, which is an advanced model
of pressurized environment, composed by non-flammable panels of PVC, flexible and modular,
with safety installation for heated works (ex. welding) in the oil and gas industries, which
presents explosion risks. This equipment allows the execution of maintenance safely, without
stopping production, providing substantial productivity gain for the customer.
Jahu Division

Offered Equipment
The Jahu Division offers specialty engineering solutions and equipment, such as concrete formwork,
access and maintenance scaffolding and shoring equipment. The Companys employees are generally
responsible for the development of engineering solutions, as well as for supervising the use of its
equipment, while its clients are usually in charge of the assembly and disassembly of such equipment.
However, for more complex projects, the Company may provide the labor for the assembly and
disassembly of equipment.
Shoring Solutions. The main shoring equipment used by the Jahu division is a system of modular
metal towers that may be pieced together through the assembly of tubular frames and kept in
place by diagonal supports, and which can bear loads of up to eight tons per tower. Additional
frames may be integrated with the structure through the use of joints, thereby increasing loadbearing capacity. In addition, specialized props and adjustable supports provide for precise
alignment of the base with the top of each tower. These props and supports contribute to a
substantial reduction in the time required for tower alignment and structure disassembly. Finally,
metal plates are used to connect the whole structure to concrete slabs, which generally
contributes to a substantial reduction in costs. An alternative shoring system for use with ribbed
slabs is assembled over props which work as support for the guides. This allows the slab to
remain shored without adjustments while the concrete formwork is removed from the ribbed
slabs. As a result, the whole horizontal and vertical shoring structure can be quickly assembled on
each successive slab, significantly reducing the costs and construction time.
Tubular Scaffolding. The access and service scaffolding offered by the Jahu division enjoys strong
brand recognition and wide use in the civil construction market, and is an integral element in the
day-to-day operations of several Brazilian construction workers and foremen. The Company
believes the use of its access and service scaffolding equipment offers a substantial operational
advantage in the execution of a residential or commercial construction project. This equipment is
easily and quickly assembled, as the scaffolding towers are pieced together by slotting tubular
frames together and are kept in place by diagonal supports fixed to the post framework through
efficient locking mechanisms. The frames used in the access and service scaffolding are safe and
versatile, having been developed based on market and technological studies. For example, the
access ladder is incorporated into the tubular frame, which contributes to its structural rigidity and
facilitates access by the worker. The frames also include porches and trusses, which make them
ideal for use in urban centers, as they allow pedestrians to pass by without being blocked by the
tubular structure.
Suspended Scaffolding. Suspended scaffolds are systems that use steel cables fixed to the facade
of the buildings. The motorized suspended scaffolding offered by the Jahu division is
recommended for the performance of rapid, automated services, as its engine, which is powerful
60

and easy to run, works at constant speeds of approximately ten meters per minute. The platforms
have non-slip flooring, can be assembled in lengths of two to eight meters, and are used with
steel cables up to 150 meters-long. The Companys light suspended scaffolding with intertwined
cable is ideal for refurbishing, painting and finishing facades, where speed and cost control are
important. The products performance and ease of operation are a result of its mechanical traction
system and modular platform, which can be assembled in lengths of up to eight meters. Finally,
the heavy suspended scaffolding is recommended for the performance of work which requires a
large effective load and must be completed at a low cost. The platform of the heavy suspended
scaffolding can be assembled in lengths of up to eight meters, and is supported by hoists installed
up to two meters apart and fixed to steel beams by wire cables. The system is flexible and
versatile enough to surround an entire building, thus allowing work to be simultaneously carried
out on all facades of the structure.
Reusable Connecting Panel Concrete Formwork. Following the establishment of the Jahu division
in 2008, the Company pioneered the use of SL 2000 NOE formwork, which was regularly used by
the Heavy Construction division, in dimensions appropriate for the construction of residential and
commercial buildings. The use of this formwork in the residential and commercial market
substantially reduces the time and cost of construction of new residential and commercial units.
Reusable Steel Concrete Formwork (used in residential construction relating to the Minha Casa,
Minha Vida program). In October 2009, the Company imported the first load of steel concrete
formwork from the Canadian company Aluma, in order to meet the needs of Homex, the largest
Mexican low-income homebuilder, which also builds homes in Brazil. In addition, the Company
entered into two other agreements with Bairro Novo, a company owned by Construtora Norberto
Odebrecht that is focused on the low-income housing market. As a result of these three
agreements, the Company is among the largest providers of steel formwork in Brazil. The
reusable steel concrete formwork system is completely manufactured in steel, which reduces its
weight considerably and allows for quick turnaround time in the mass construction of low-income
housing. Houses with a total constructed area of 45 square meters can be completed in an
average of eight days using this system. The Company believe that most of the units to be built
in the context of the Minha Casa, Minha Vida program will be constructed with the use of steel
formwork. In addition, in December 2009 the Company entered into an agreement with Aluma to
grant us exclusive rights for the manufacture and distribution of their steel concrete formwork in
Brazil.
Mills Deck Light. The Mills Deck Light is a system of forms of flat slab formworks for the
residential and commercial segment. Formed by struts, aluminum panels and "dropheads" which
allow the removal of the bottom panels from the slabs keeping them shored, the Deck System
provides the economy of a form set to the builder and also provides more speed to the

from S Leone and Construservice, and enters into agreements with AGM for the provision of temporary
labor.

division from selected third parties. The determination of which suppliers it uses is based on product

MANAGEMENT COMMENTS

10.1

The management should comment on.

a. Financial status and general assets


The management of the Company believes that the Company is one of the largest providers of specialized
engineering services, the leading supplier of concrete formwork and tubular structures and motorized
access equipment for the Brazilian market. The Company is also one of the leading providers of industrial
services (access, industrial painting and thermal insulation) of Brazil, according to the magazine "O
Empreiteiro". The company offers to its clients specialized engineering services, providing creative and
differentiated solutions to major infrastructure projects, residential and commercial construction, and
industrial maintenance and assembly. Our customized engineering solutions include planning, design,
technical supervision and providing temporary structures for civil construction (such as formwork, shoring
and scaffolding), industrial services (such as access services, industrial painting, surface treatment and
thermal insulation for both stages of construction and maintenance of major industrial plants) and
motorized access equipment (such as aerial work platforms and telescopic handlers), as well as technical
assistance and specialized workforce.
The Company believes that the sectors in which it operates will have a strong growth in coming years due
(i) the favorable macroeconomic fundamentals and the increasing availability of credit in Brazil; (ii) the
significant investment in infrastructure projects; (iii) the Brazilian governments low income housing
program (Minha Casa, Minha Vida); (iv) the investments required for the World Cup in 2014 and the 2016
Olympic Games; and (v) the necessity for significant investment in various sectors of industry in Brazil,
mainly in the oil and gas sector.
The Company's revenues come mainly from rental of equipment and technical assistance services which
accounted together 91% of Companys total net revenues which correspond to R$677.6 million in the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The revenue from the performance of services is recognized based
on the measurement of the stages for performance of the services carried out through the reporting date.
Revenue from the sale of merchandise is recognized when the significant risks and benefits of ownership
of the merchandise are transferred to the buyer. Accordingly, the Company adopts the date on which the
product is delivered to the buyer as the basis for its revenue recognition policy. Rental revenue is
recognized on a prorated basis in monthly results on a straight-line basis, according to the equipment
lease agreements.
The Management of the Company believes that the current availabilities and its operational cash, together
with its borrowing capacity, with proper leverage of EBITDA in relation to the Company's net debt are
sufficient to comply with the investment plan and the need for working capital during the same period.
The Management of the Company believes that the Company has financial conditions and sufficient assets
in order to implement its business plan and to comply with its short and medium term obligations.
Impact of Brazilian General Macroeconomic Conditions on its Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
The Heavy Construction Division offers customized solutions to companies involved in major construction
and infrastructure projects, while the Jahu Division is dedicated to providing services to residential and
commercial construction companies. Customers of the Industrial Services Division are engaged in the
heavy industry, including the oil and gas, chemicals and petrochemicals, construction and industrial
assembly, pulp and paper, shipbuilding, mining, among others, while Equipment Rental Divisions
products are focused on the rental, technical assistance and sale of motorized access equipment, these
products are required by companies operating in various industries. All these sectors are directly affected
by changes in macroeconomic conditions in Brazil, especially the growth of gross domestic product - GDP,
interest rates, inflation, credit availability, unemployment level, exchange rates and commodity prices, the
latter two because they affect the cost of equipment the Company uses in its activities. Consequently,
these factors affect, indirectly, its operations and results.

80

In addition, the Companys operations and results of operations are directly affected by changes in (i)
inflation rates, which are used as a reference for the adjustment of the prices paid under long-term
contracts, (ii) interest rates, which affect the Companys financial obligations, (iii) fluctuating of prices of
materials consumed in the construction job or fluctuating of the prices of maintenance of the equipment
of the Company.

b. Capital structure and stock redemption possibility


According to the Company's balance sheet on December 31, 2011, the capital structure of the Mills was
57.1% equity, measured by the stockholders equity, and 42.9% capital from third party, measured by
total liabilities.
The management of the Company typically use both equity, from operating cash generation, and capital
from third-party, though the contraction of new loans to finance the needs for investments in non-current
assets and working capital of the company. For strategic operations, when necessary, the company may
resort to the capital from their shareholders.
There are no hypotheses of redemption of shares issued by the Company in addition to the legally
provided for.

c. Financial commitments
The Companys EBITDA for the year ended December 31st, 2011, was R$238.1 million and its financial
expenses, net of financial revenue in the same period were R$31.8 million. Thus, the Companys EBITDA
for year ended December 31st, 2011 presented a coverage ratio of 7.5 times its net financial expenses
during the same period. Only considering its financial expenses, which amounted to R$46,6 million in the
year ended December 31st, 2011, the coverage ratio would be 5.1 times.
The Companys total indebtedness for the year ended December 31st, 2011, amounted to R$ 410.9
million, or, 1.7 times the Companys EBITDA for the year ended December 31 st, 2011. The flow of
payment from this debt will take place in a period of ten years, of which R$71.4 million in less than one
year, R$184.7 million from 1 to 2 years, R$185.8 million in a period between 3 to 5 years and R$5.0
million in more than five years. The Companys long-term debt profile has a policy for contracting loans
and financing aimed at ensuring that all financial commitments are honored, if necessary, through its cash
generation. This way, the Company's Management believes that its cash generation is sufficient to meet
its financial commitments.
In addition, on December 31st, 2011, the Company had installment of tax payments on its balance sheet
in the amount of R$ 18.7 million, which the greatest amount of payments of R$10.9 million, refers to the
Tax Recovery Program (REFIS) with a maturity of 180 months. The lengthening of the payment of the
installments within this period contributes to the Company to be able to timely make payments due.
With regard to contractual limitations for assumption of new debt, there are clauses in the Company's
bank credit contracts that require adherence to certain financial indicators, among which: the ratio
between EBITDA and net debt, the ratio of net short-term debt and total net debt, and the ratio between
net financial expenses and EBITDA. On the date of this Reference Form, the Company was within the
limits of contractual financial indicators.

d. Source of financing for working capital and investments in non-current assets.


The investments from the Company in non-current assets and working capital are financed by its own
cash generation and third party capital, through the contraction of new loans. For strategic operations,
when necessary, the Company turns to its shareholders capital.
In the year ended December 31st, 2010, the Company raised R$ 411 million through initial public offering
of shares issued.
81

On April 2011, the Company issued R$270 million in non-convertible unsecured debentures, with maturity
on April 18th, 2016. The nominal value will be amortized in three annual installments starting on the third
year of the issuance, and shall pay semi-annually interest of 112.5% of accrued variation of the CDI
interest rate. The net proceeds from the Offering were used for (a) the redemption of all commercial
papers, issued under the first public offering of the Company, totaling R$ 30 million, (b) investments
defined in the Mills expansion plan, including estimated investments of R$ 337 million in 2011, (c)
rearrangement of cash balance following disbursement of R$ 90.0 million in February 2011 in connection
with the acquisition of 25.0% of the Rohr S/A Estruturas Tubulares (Rohr) total capital stock, and (c)
general corporate purposes and expenses of the Company.
On December 7, 2011 the Company issued a single series of 3 (three) commercial promissory notes with
unit face value of R$ 9.0 million, for a total amount of R$ 27.0 million with maturity on December 1st,
2012. Remuneration interest charges will fall due corresponding to 100% of the accumulated variation in
the average daily Domestic Demand (DI) rates, plus 1.10% per annum. Remuneration will be fully paid
upon the maturity date.

e. Potential sources of financing used for working capital and for investments in noncurrent assets.
The Companys main sources of liquidity are:
cash flow from our operations;
financing agreements and through capital market; and
increases in its capital stock.
The Companys main liquidity requirements are:
investments for maintenance and increase of the equipment inventory;
working capital needs;
investments in the Companys facilities and the technology center, which are necessary to support
its operations;
investments in the improvement of processes and controls;
investments in training and occupational safety; and
distribution of dividends and payment of interest on equity.
The Management of the Company believes that the existing resources and the cash flow to be generated
from its operations, along with its borrowing capacity, with proper leverage, will be sufficient to cover its
investment plan and the need for working capital during the same period.

f. Debt level and composition:

December 31, 2009, a reduction of R$10.1 million or 17.8%. This reduction was due to the utilization of
the initial public offering funds to advance higher cost debts.

December 31, 2010, an increase of R$24.7 million or 52.9%. This increase was due to the need to
finance, among other uses, working capital and general expenses of the company, to what the
commercial promissory notes were issued in December 2011, in the amount of R27 million.
This increase was due to the second issuance of commercial promissory notes, in the amount of R$ 27
million, for the recovery of the Company's cash after investments made in the year 2011 and uses and
general expenses from the Company.

Long Term Debt


As of December 31st, 2010, long-term debt amounted to R$85.9 million, compared to R$127.1 million as
of December 31, 2009, a decrease of R$41.2 million or 32.4%. This decrease was due to the utilization of
the initial public offering funds to advance higher cost debts.

R$85.9 million as of December 31, 2010, an increase of R$253.6 million or 295.2%. This increase was
mainly due to the need to finance, among other things, the acquisition of 25.0% of the capital of Rohr

amount of R$ 270.0 million.

As of the date of this Reference Form, the Company is part of several leasing agreements with several
financial entities, representing obligations of R$52.2 million as of December 31st, 2011. The Company
entered into such agreements as lessee, with the purpose of leasing (or in certain cases purchasing) the
84

equipment and other assets necessary for running its operations. Upon maturity of each leasing
agreement, the Company has the option to return the equipment or assets to the respective lessor, or
exercise an option to buy such equipment or asset. The amounts owed under these leasing agreements
are repaid in monthly installments, subject to a minimum guaranteed payment corresponding to the lower
amount for which the equipment or assets could be sold to a third-party.

(ii) other long-term relationships with financial institutions


The Company contracted with financial institutions, instruments for monetary exchange protection. These
derivative instruments contracted by the Company have the intention to protect it, on their equipment
import operations, in the interval between the placing of orders and nationalization against the risk of
fluctuation in the exchange rate, and are not used for speculative means.
On December 31st, 2011, the Company possessed purchase orders with foreign suppliers of equipment
valued at approximately US$69.2 million (in 2010, these orders amounted to US$72.8 million, and in
2009, it amounted to US$34 million), all schedule for payment until December, 2012.

(iii) degree of subordination between the debts


Usually the Companys loans and financings are guaranteed by:
(a) statutory lien
(b) promissory notes
(c) receivables which the Company is entitled during the course of its activities;
(d) pledge; and
(e) pledge of trade bills;
The promissory notes are enforceable guarantees and serve as additional guarantees regarding loans and
financings.
Most of the guarantees offered by the Company refers to loans contracted in previous years, when the
financial situation required that the Company offered substantial guarantees to facilitate its access to
credit.
After its initial public offer of shares held in April 2010, the Company conducted financing operations with
real guarantee only for FINAME, credit line from BNDES to finance investments in manufacturing portion
of its equipment, where, at the request of the financing contract, the equipment manufactured is disposed
to the end of the financing contract.
The Company believes that the existing terms relating to the provision of guarantees does not
significantly restrict the ability to contract new debt to meet our capital needs.

(iv) any restrictions imposed on the issuer, in particular, for limits of indebtedness and contracting of new
debts, the distribution of dividends, disposal of assets, the issuance of new securities or disposal of
corporate control
Some of the Companys long-term financial instruments contain obligations relating to the maintenance of
certain levels for determined financial indicators. The main conditions imposed on financial instruments
entered into by the Company are: (i) the ratio between EBITDA and net debt (total bank debt minus cash
equivalents); and (ii) the ratio between EBITDA and net financial expenses. Thus, the Company is
required to maintain a relatively low indebtedness and a satisfactory capacity to pay its financial
obligations, and the hiring of new borrowings should meet these prerequisites. On the fiscal years ended
December 31st, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Company was in compliance with the required levels for the
indicators.

85

The Management of the Company believes that the current provisions will not significantly restrict the
ability to recruit new debt to meet its capital needs.

g. limits of use of financing already concluded


On December 31st, 2011, the Company had approximately R$1,2 billion limit on credit operations
(leasing, working capital, borrowings and long-term debt, derivatives and pledge) with major financial
institutions operating in Brazil, and the amount of R$136.4 million has already been released to the
Company and it is registered in its debt position.

Revenue of Products Sold e Services Provided
In accordance with the existing accounting policies adopted in Brazil, the revenue reported in the income
statement should include only the gross inflows of economic benefits received and receivable by the
Company, when originating from their own activities. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties - such
as sales taxes, taxes on goods and services and from taxes on added value - do not generate benefits for
the Company and do not result in an increase in equity and therefore are excluded from revenue. Thus,
the comments below relating to variations between the results for the years ended December 31st, 2009,
2010 and 2011 refer only to net revenue, not to the gross revenue.

Vertical analysis, which is a percentage of total net sales and services.


Horizontal analysis, which is the percentage of variation in the income statement accounts between 2010 and 2011.

In the year ended December 31st, 2011 the Companys net revenue from sales and services totaled
R$677.6 million, a new annual record, compared with R$549.9 million in the same period in 2010, an
increase of R$127.7 million, or 23.2%. This increase comes from the incremental revenue from the
Rental, Jahu and Industrial Services divisions, partially offset by the Construction division revenues
decrease. The analysis of the Company's Management regarding the factors that led to these changes are
listed below.
Heavy Construction Division
Net revenue from the Heavy Construction Division, decreased from R$154.3 million in the year ended
December 31st, 2010 to R$131.6 million in 2011, a R$22.7 million reduction, or 14.7%. The Management
of the Company attribute that this reduction was mainly due to the weakening of demand in the Heavy
Construction segment from the end of 2010 to mid-2011.
Jahu Division
Net revenue from the Jahu Division, increased from R$105.1 million in the year ended December 31 st,
2010 to R$155.8 in 2011, an increase of R$50.7 million, or 48.1%. The Management of the Company
attributed this expansion as a result of the investments made and the success of the geographic
expansion of this division.
Industrial Services Division
Net revenues for the Industrial Services Division increased from R$195.4 million in the year ended
December 31st, 2010 to R$214.8 million in 2011, an increase of R$19.4 million, or 9.9%. On the
evaluation of the Management of the company, this revenue increase is mainly due to revenue growth in
maintenance services.
Rental Division
Net Revenue from the Rental division increased from R$95.1 million in the year ended December 31 st,
2010 to R$175.4 million in 2011, an increase of R$80.3 million, or 84.5%. On the evaluation of the
Management of the company, this increase is associated with the organic growth from this division, with
increasing fleet of equipment and geographical expansion.

Taxes on Sales and Services


In accordance with existing accounting policies adopted in Brazil, the revenue reported in the financial
statement should include only the gross inflows of economic benefits received and receivable by the
Company, when originating from their own activities. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties - such
as sales taxes, taxes on goods and services and from taxes on added value - do not generate benefits for
the Company and do not result in an increase in equity and therefore are excluded from revenue. Thus,
the Company has not reported for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011, figures comparable to
this item posted for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Cost of goods sold and services rendered, excluding the effects of depreciation, went from R$209.9
million in the year ended December 31, 2010 to R$267.4 million year ended December 31, 2011, an
increase of R$57.5 million, or 27.4%, mainly due to growth of the Companys business in 2011, both in
number of transactions and contracts as geographically.
88

The item cost of goods sold and services rendered which showed the largest absolute increase between
fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011 was personnel item, which increased R$42.0 million,
mainly influenced by the growth of Industrial Services and Jahu Divisions revenue, which were
responsible for 76% of this increase.
The depreciation of assets used in services rendered, which is part of the costs of goods sold and services
rendered increased 61.9% due to higher investments in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, from
R$46.6 million for the year ended on December 31, 2010 to R$75.5 million in the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2011, maintaining the average depreciation period of 10 years.

rendered, excluding the effects of depreciation, increased from 38.2% in the year ended December 31,
2010 to 39.4% in the year ended December 31, 2011. Including the effects of depreciation, the same

December 31, 2010 to R$175.2 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of R$27.6

commercial teams in the new branches from the Jahu and Rental divisions, to meet the expansion of
these divisions, which led to the hiring of new employees for this purpose.

31, 2010 to R$162.0 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of R$14.5 million, or

Vertical analysis, which is a percentage of total net sales and services.


Horizontal analysis, which is the percentage of variation in the income statement accounts between fiscal years of 2009 and 2010.

In the year ended December 31st, 2010 the Companys net revenue from sales and services totaled
R$549.9 million compared with R$404.2 million in the same period in 2009, an increase of R$145.7
million, or 36.0%. This increase comes from the increase in revenues from all divisions.
Heavy Construction Division
Net revenue from sales and services rendered by the Heavy Construction division, after deductions for
discounts and cancellations, increased 5.5%, or R$8.1 million, from R$146.2 million in 2009 to R$154.3
million in 2010. This increase was mainly due to more revenue from technical support services and sales,
which increased from R$20.9 million to R$32.4 million in 2010, partially offset by a reduction of R$3.5
million, or 2.8%, in revenue from equipment rental. The increase of volume of equipment rented
contributed to the decrease of revenue from equipment rental amounting to R$5.0 million, while the
combination of rental price and mix of rented equipment led to a reduction in rent revenue in the amount
of R$8.5 million, reflecting the weakening demand in the heavy construction segment from September
2010.
Jahu Division
Net income for the Jahu Division went from R$62.2 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to
R$105.1 million in the fiscal year ended 2010, an increase of R$42.9 million, or 69.1% due mainly to the
increase in equipment rental revenue which contributed 55% of the total increase and the increase in
sales revenue which contributed 34% of the total increase. The remaining percentage of 11% of the
increase was due to higher revenues from technical assistance services and indemnities in the ordinary
course of operations received from customers due to equipment lost or damaged.
Between the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, revenue from equipment rental has
increased R$23.5 million, or 40.4%, of which the increase in volume helped to expand the rental revenue
in R$28.8 million, while the combination of rental price and mix of equipment led to a reduction in rental
revenue in the amount of R$5.3 million.

Industrial Services Division


Net revenues for the Industrial Services Division increased from R$141.4 million in the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009 to R$195.4 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of R$54.0
million, or 38.2%, as explained below.

Rental Division
Net revenue from sales and services of the Rental Division went from R$54.4 million in the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2009 to R$95.1 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of
R$40.7 million, or 74.8%, mainly due to organic growth in this division with the increase of the fleet of
equipment. The growing market for this type of equipment, still in its initial stage, has enabled the rapid
uptake of this fleet.
In the year ended December 31, 2010, 89.3% of net revenue of the Rental Division was due to equipment
rental, while the remaining 10.7% was related to sales and technical assistance services.
Between the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, equipment rental revenue has increased
from R$83.8 million, or 66.2%, and the increase in volume helped to expand the leased rent revenue in
the amount of R$42.5 million, while the combination of rental price and mix of equipment led to a reduction
in equipment rental revenue in the amount of R$8.7 million.

Taxes on Sales and Services


In accordance with accounting policies adopted in Brazil in force, the revenue reported in the income
statement should include only the gross inflows of economic benefits received and receivable by the
Company, when originating from their own activities. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties - such
as sales taxes, taxes on goods and services and from taxes on added value - do not generate benefits for
the Company and do not result in an increase in equity and therefore are excluded from revenue. Thus,
the Company has not reported for the year ended December 31, 2010, figures comparable to this item
posted for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Percentage increase (decrease) of products sold and services rendered costs in 2009, relative to 2008.

Cost of goods sold and services rendered (excluding the effects of depreciation) increased by 50.7%, or
R$70.6 million, from R$139.3 million in 2009 to R$209.9 million in 2010. This increase was mainly due to
growth of our business in 2010.
The item cost of goods sold and services rendered which showed the largest absolute increase between
fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 was personnel item, which increased R$39.1 million,
mainly influenced by the growth of Industrial Services Divisions revenue, which is workforce intensive.
The sale item, which represents the cost of equipment sold by the Company, increased R$15.8 million,
driven primarily by the increase of sales revenue and of the mix of equipment sold in 2010.
The depreciation of assets used in services rendered, which is part of the costs of goods sold and services
rendered increased 47.8% due to higher investments in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, from
R$30.3 million for the year ended on December 31, 2009 to R$44.9 million in the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010, maintained the average depreciation period of 10 years.
Considering the depreciation costs, our cost of goods sold and services rendered totaled R$254.8 million
in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, compared with R$169.6 million in the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009, representing an increase of 50.2%.
As a result of these factors, compared to net operating revenues, the total cost of goods sold and services
rendered, excluding the effects of depreciation, increased from 34.4% in the year ended December 31,
2009 to 38.2% in the year ended December 31, 2010. Including the effects of depreciation, the same
92

ratio increased from 42.0% in the year ended 31 December 2009 to 46.3% in the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2010.
The general and administrative expenses increased from R$108.8 million in the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2009 to R$147.6 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of R$38.8
million, or 35.7%. This increase was due primarily to the employment of additional labor which
contributes to an increase of R$25.4 million. Our total number of employees increased from 907 at the
end of 2009 to 1,261 at the end of 2010, an increase of 39% to meet an increase in demand for our
services and the strong geographic expansion, mainly from the Rental Division and the Jahu Division.
The Companys operating general, administrative and operating Expenses compared to net operating
income were maintained at 27% in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010.

Operating profit

31, 2009 to R$147.5 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, an increase of R$21.7 million, or
17.2%. This increase was because the growth in net revenues was higher than the growth of cost of
goods sold and services rendered and general and administrative expenses. Operating profit represented
26.8% of net revenues in December 31, 2010, compared with 31.1% of net revenues in December 31,
2009.

Financial Results
Net financial expenses increased from R$24.4 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 to R$5.6
million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, representing a decrease of R$18.8 million, or 77.0%.
The Company's bank debt, which was R$183.9 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009
increased to R$132.6 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. In April 2010, the Company
completed its initial public offering of shares which resulted in net proceeds of R$411 million. The
Company used part of these proceeds to settle debts of higher costs.

applications of The Companys cash, which totaled R$17.3 million in the fiscal year ended December 31,
2010.

million, or 16.7%. This increase was lower than in the Companys profit before taxes due to dividend
payments in the form of interest on equity.
In the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the Company deducted income tax and social contribution
the amount of R$8.6 million, due to the provisioning of interest on equity for distribution of part of the
annual results, while in fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 this deduction totaled R$1.9 million.

93

The Companys current assets increased from R$307.9 million as of December 31, 2010 to R$224.9
million as of December 31, 2011, a decrease of R$83.0 million or 27.0%. The main reasons for such

was completely used during the acquisition of Rohrs share and other investments of the
Company;
an increase of R$29.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, due to proceeds from the Companys

Social on fixed assets, given the need to change the calculation method of 1/12 to 1/48. The
Company not agreeing with the interpretation from the IRS, filed a petition for a writ of mandate
in order to continue to use the credits to a ratio of 1/12 and;
an increase of R$8.1 million in the deferred taxes account due to the increase of provisions for
losses by the reduction of the recoverable value of the receivables and since on December 31,

promissory notes in December 2011, to enable the Companys investments in 2011;
decrease of R$9.6 million in the profit sharing payable account, due to the reduction of the variable
remuneration program EVA in the year of 2011, in comparison with 2010;

R$2.1 million and inclusion of new cases in the civil area of R$0.7 million;
Reduction of R$1.0 million into the account the Tax Recovery Program - REFIS, mainly due to the
low of R$2.7 million related to PIS and COFINS, partially offset by the rate of Special System for
Settlement and Custody ("Sistema Especial de Liquidao e Custdia - SELIC") updating the value
of R$1.0 million.

Stockholders' equity
Shareholder's equity increased from R$172.6 million as of December 31, 2009 to R$655.2 million as of
December 31, 2010, an increase of R$482.5 million, or 279%, substantially due to the increase of
Companys share capital as a result of the initial public offering of shares in April 2010.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities


Between 2009 and 2011, the Company was able to improve significantly its operating results, as
discussed above, improving its cash flow from operating activities, that in 2009, was R$89.7 million,
increasing to R$121.6 million in 2010 and reaching R$140.6 million in 2011, an increase in 2010 and 2011
of 35.6% and 15.6% respectively. On the evaluation of the Management of the Company, the realized
investments were key drivers for this improvement, that enabled the Company, in an increasing market
demand, to increase significantly its revenues and operational results.

Cash Flow from Investment Activities


The gross investments in fixed assets during the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, and 2011
amounted to R$76.4 million, R$348.5 million and R$430.3 million, respectively. In 2009, as a result of the
global financial crisis, the Company reduced its gross investments when compared to 2008, decreasing in
R$99.2 million. In 2010, the Initial Public Offering of shares of the Company provided net proceeds of
R$411 million, which enabled the Company to expand its investments in all divisions to meet the growing
demand in markets where it operates. In 2011, the Company maintained its level of investment in organic
growth, in addition to the acquisition of 25.0% stake of Rohr and the total the capital of GP Sul at R$87.4
million and R$5.5 million, respectively.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities


The cash flow from financing activities includes new loan agreements, the amortization of the principal
and payment of interest on existing loans, as well as increases in the capital stock, and dividend payment.
In 2009, due to a less favorable credit conditions prevailing during the first half of the year, the Company
was highly selective in its new operations and entered into financing agreements in the amount of only
R$31.9 million, in comparison to amortizations and interest payments of R$62.1 million in the year. In
2010, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering which generated net proceeds of R$411 million
and allowed the Company to expand its investments across all divisions to meet the growing demand in
the markets which it serves and to liquidate part of the more expensive debt. The Company is committed
to maintain its total indebtedness at manageable levels in relation to its cash flows, in terms of deadlines
and values. In 2011, the Company completed its first debentures issuance on a total amount of R$270.0
million with maturity of five years, and issued commercial promissory notes totaling R$27.0 million,
maturing in December 1, 2012.

(i) description of important components of revenue

Net Revenue from Sales and Services


The net revenues from sales and services are denominated in reais, and are derived from the
rental and sale of equipment, the provision of technical support services, and penalty payments
for unreturned or damaged equipment. The table below sets forth the breakdown of the net
revenue for the periods indicated:

(ii) Factors that affected materially operational outcomes


Cost of Products Sold and Services Rendered
Its main cost of products sold and services rendered relates to costs for executing the projects in which
the Company are involved, including (i) personnel for assembly and disassembly of equipment rented to
its clients when such tasks are carried out by the Company; (ii) cost of the equipment sub-leased from
third parties when the Companys inventories are insufficient to meet demand; (iii) cost of materials used
in the provision of its services, which include individual safety equipment, wood, paint and insulation
98

material; and (iv) freight costs relating to the transportation of equipment between its branches and to its
clients. Costs related to the execution of its projects represented 94.4%, 87.0% and 78.5% of its principal
costs of sales and services rendered in the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
On the evaluation of the company's Management, this reduction was due to the expansion of equipment
sales costs, mainly in the Jahu and Rental divisions. In addition, the Company incurred in (i) costs
deriving from the sale of equipment; (ii) depreciation of equipment rented; (iii) expenses with equipment
storage, as from and including 2011; and (iv) cost of write-offs (derecognition) of assets.
The cost of products sold and services rendered by its Heavy Construction, Jahu and Rental divisions
tends to grow less than their net revenues, as some components of these costs do not grow at the same
rate of the revenue. As for the Industrial Services Division, which by the nature of its activities require the
use of more workforce, variation tends to be directly related to the change in net revenue.

General, Administrative and Operating Expenses


The Companys main general, administrative and operating expenses refer to contract coordination,
encompassing the project teams and engineers in the commercial area, are responsible for the
management and supervision of each of its projects, which correspond basically to salaries, payroll
charges and benefits, with the rest relating to travel, representation and communications expenses, as
well as the overhead of the administrative areas. Due to the nature of its business, the Company does not
have a department only dedicated to sales. Expenses related to the management of its contracts
represented 46.2%, 47.8% and 57.3% of its total general, administrative and operating expenses during
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively. According to the Companys
Management, this increase was mainly due to the need to form technical and commercial teams in the
new branches of the Jahu and Rental divisions.
Other material general, administrative and operating expenses include: (i) expenses relating to equipment
storage until 2010, inclusive, (ii) administrative expenses incurred with respect to its financial, investor
relations, and human resources departments, as well as its executive management, including salaries and
benefits, (iii) expenses in connection with the Companys employee profit-sharing plans and expenses
related to its stock option plans, and (iv) other administrative expenses, which include, in particular,
expenses resulting from adjustments to its provisions for contingencies.

Financial Results
The Companys financial results consist of its financial expenses, net of financial revenues. The Companys
main financial expenses include interest payments on loans, leasing operations, and costs associated with
discounting to present value certain long-term receivables derived from the sale of equipment owned by
its former Events division. Its main financial revenues consist of income from its financial investments and
interest in connection with late payments by its clients.

Income and Social Contribution Taxes


Income and social contribution taxes are calculated in accordance with Brazilian tax laws and regulations
in force at the date of presentation of its financial statements. Deferred income and social contribution
taxes are calculated in accordance with accumulated tax losses, accumulated bases of social
contributions, and the corresponding temporary differences between the asset and liability tax bases and
the accounting values entered in the financial statements. The current income and social contribution tax
rates applicable to the calculation of such deferred credits are 25.0% and 9.0%, respectively.

b.
Changes attributable to changes in prices, volume changes and introduction of new
products and services.

99

The Companys revenues have a direct correlation with changes in price and volume of equipment rented
to clients. Introduction of new products and services also directly impact revenue. As for inflation, the
correlation of its revenue is indirect, in the extent that the adjustments take place only in the renewal or
closing of new contracts, reflecting the past inflation. As regards to the exchange rate fluctuation,
currently there is no correlation to its revenue, except that the Rental division's equipment are imported
and hence have their acquisition cost in foreign currency. Consequently, in the future, the rental revenue
from this division may be influenced by possible in exchange rates variations. In terms of volume, the
revenue variation for the Heavy Construction division was affected by the volume decrease from the end
of 2010, and only recovering at the second half of 2011. The increased revenue from the Jahu and Rental
divisions over the past three years are the result of the increase in the volume of rented equipment and
sales, given favorable market conditions and its geographic expansion.

c.
Impact of inflation, price variations of main inputs and products, exchange rate and
interest rate on operating profit and the issuer's financial result
The Companys expenses are subject to impact of inflation via wage increases for employees, a raise in
the cost of the hired services, such as freight, and inputs used in the provision of services, such as paints
and materials for thermal insulation. Moreover, the equipment the Company invests in to use at its
services are also subject to increases due to inflation and changes in commodity prices, mainly steel and
aluminum. In the case of Rental division, the prices of the equipment the Company uses can increase
according to the fluctuation of the exchange rate.

Relevant effects on Financial statements

a.

Introduction or disposal of operating segment

The Company did not introduce or disposed any operating segment in the analyzed period.

b.

Constitution, acquisition or divestiture of shareholdings

Acquisition of 25% of Rohr S/A Estruturas Tubulares


On January 19, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 25.0% of the
voting and total capital of Rohr for R$ 90.0 million, paid on February 8, 2011. In September 2011, there
was a rise in the stake held in Rohr to 27.5%, resulting from the repurchase by Rohr of 9% of its shares
held as treasury stock.
Rohr is a private company specializing in access engineering and the provision of construction solutions,
with more than 45 years of experience in the market. The company operates in the heavy construction
and infrastructure, building construction, industrial maintenance and events sector.
The Company will not participate in the management of Rohr, as this is a strategic acquisition, whereby
Mills aims to increase its presence in its areas of activity - infrastructure, residential and commercial
construction, oil and gas, etc.

Acquisition of GP Sul
On May 27, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 100% of the
voting and total capital of GP Sul for R$ 5.5 million.
GP Sul, is a privately held company, located in Porto Alegre, and one of the largest players in the
suspended scaffold rental market to residential and commercial construction in the state of Rio Grande do
Sul.
On the evaluation of the Management of the Company, this strategic acquisition enabled the Company to
become the leader in the suspended scaffold rental market in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and to
100

broaden its exposure to the residential and commercial construction market in the South region, in line
with the geographic expansion plan of Jahu Residential and Commercial Construction division.
On August 1st, 2011, was approved, in Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, the merger of GP Sul by the
Company, in its protocol and merger justification terms. The objectives of the merger were (i) optimize
and centralize the activities developed by GP Sul in the Companys management, therefore, rationalizing
the operations and consequently reducing costs; and (ii) take advantage of the tax benefit resulting from
the amortization of R$ 4.7 million generated in its acquisition of at least five years, as from the 2011 fiscal
year.

c.

Unusual transactions or events

Over the past three financial years there were no unusual transactions or events.
10.4

Changes in accounting practices

a. Significant changes in accounting practices


Adoption of new and revised IFRS without material effects on the financial statements.
The following new and revised international financial reporting standards (IFRS) have also been adopted
in these financial statements. Adoption of such new and revised IFRS, in assessing the Company's
Management, has not had any material effects on the amounts reported for the current and previous
year. Nevertheless, such adoption may affect the recognition of future transactions or agreements.
(i)
Modifications in IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (as part of Improvements to the
IFRS issued in 2010)
The modifications to IAS 1 clarify that an entity may elect to disclose its analysis of other comprehensive
income as an item of the statement of changes in stockholder equity. Mills elected to continue
presenting such information in a separate statement.
(ii)
IAS 24 - Disclosure of Related Parties (already adopted by CPC 05 - R1)24 Divulgaes de Partes
Relacionadas (j adotada pelo CPC 05 - R1)
IAS 24 (revised in 2009) altered the definition of a related party. Adoption of the revised definition of
related parties under IAS 24 (revised in 2009) in the current year permits identification of related parties
not identified as such in accordance with the previous standard.
The disclosures of the Companys related parties already include such alterations, in that they already
consider CPC 5 (R1) Disclosures of Parties Related to the financial statements.
New and revised IFRS that affect financial performance and/or financial position reported
(i)

Modifications in IFRS 3 Business Combinations

As part of the Improvements to the IFRS issued in 2010, IFRS 3 was changed in order to clarify that the
option of appraising minority equity interests as of the acquisition date will only be available in the case of
minority equity interests that represent current minority equity interests granting such stockholders the
right to proportional stakes in the entitys net assets in the event of liquidation.
All other types of minority equity interests are appraised at fair value as of the acquisition date, unless
other standards require use of another basis for appraisal. Moreover, IFRS 3 was modified to provide
more guidelines on the recording of share-based compensation rights held by the employees of the
business acquired. Specifically, the modifications required that transactions involving payments based on
shares of the business acquired that are not replaced are to be measured according to IFRS 2 Sharebased Payment (equivalent to CPC 10(R1)) as of the acquisition date (marked to market measurement).
101

The Companys Management believes that the adoption of this modification did not affect the Company,
since GP Sul (the company acquired in 2011, see Note 1 of the Financial Statements), did not have any
minority shareholders and nor did it offer its employees share-based payment.
(iii)

Modifications in IAS 32 Classification of Rights

The alterations in this international accounting standard deal with the classification of certain rights
denominated in foreign currency, such as equity instruments or financial liabilities. According to the
changes made, the rights, options or bonuses issued by an entity in order for the holders thereof to be
able to acquire a fixed quantity of the entitys equity instruments for a fixed amount in any currency are
to be classified as equity instruments in the entitys financial statements, provided that the offer is made
proportionally to all the existing holders of the same class of non-derivative equity instruments. Prior to
the changes made in IAS 32, the rights, options or bonuses for acquisition of a fixed quantity of an
entitys equity instruments for a fixed amount in foreign currency were classified as derivatives. The
changes require retrospective adoption. In any event, the adoption of these modifications by the
Company did not affect the amounts reported in the current and previous years, since Mills did not issue
instruments of this kind.
(iv)

Modifications in IFRIC 14 Prepayments of Minimum Funding Requirements

The changes determine when refunds or reductions of future contributions should be considered as
available under IAS 19.58; how minimum funding requirements may affect the availability of the
reductions in future contributions; and when minimum funding requirements may result in a liability. With
the modifications, the standard began to permit recognition of an asset in the form of pre-payment of
minimum funding requirements. The Companys Management expects the application of the changes will
not have a material effect on the financial statements.
(v)

IFRIC 19 Extinction of Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments

This Interpretation provides guidelines on recording the extinction of a financial liability through issue of
equity instruments. Directors Specifically, under IFRIC 19 the equity instruments issued with such a
transaction are to be measured at fair value and any difference between the carrying value of the
extinguished liability and the effective payment for the equity instruments issued is to be recognized in
results. On the evaluation of the Company's Management, the adoption of IFRIC 19 did not affect the
amounts reported in the current and previous year since the Company has not carried out any
transactions of this nature.
New and revised interpretations already issued and not yet adopted
The Company has not adopted the following new and revised IFRS that have already been issued:

102

(4) In effect for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.

IFRS 7
The changes in IFRS 7 increase the disclosure requirements for transactions involving financial assets.
Such alterations intend to provide greater transparency to exposures to risks when financial assets are
transferred but the transferor continues retaining a certain level of exposure due to the asset. The
alterations also require disclosure of the transfer of financial assets when they are not equally distributed
over the period.
The Companys Management does not expect that these modifications in IFRS 7 will have a significant
effect on its disclosures in relation to the transfers of receivables previously affected. Nonetheless, in the
event Mills undertakes other types of transfers of financial assets in the future, the disclosures relating to
such transfers may be affected.

IFRS 9
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which was issued in November 2009 and altered in October 2010,
introduced new requirements for the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets
and liabilities.
IFRS 9 establishes that all financial assets recognized that are covered by the scope of IAS 39
Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (equivalent to CPC 38) be subsequently measured
at amortized cost or fair value. Specifically, debt instruments that are held according to a business model
aimed at receiving contractual cash flows and which have contractual cash flows that refer exclusively to
payments of the principal and interest on the principal due are generally measured at the amortized cost
at the end of the subsequent reporting periods. All other debt instruments and investments in equity
instruments are measured at fair value at the end of the subsequent reporting periods.
The most significant effect of IFRS 9 related to the classification and measurement of financial liabilities
refers to the recording of changes in the fair value of a financial liability (designated at fair value through
profit and loss - FVTPL) attributable to changes in the credit risk of such liability. Specifically, under IFRS
9, in relation to financial liabilities recognized at FVTPL, the amount of the change in the fair value of the
financial liability attributable to changes in the credit risk of such liability is recognized under Other
comprehensive income, unless recognition of the changes in the liabilitys credit risk under Other
comprehensive income results in or increases the accounting dissolution in income. Changes in the fair
value attributable to the credit risk of a financial liability are reclassified in income. Previously, under IAS
39 and CPC 38, the total amount of the change in the fair value of a financial liability recognized at FVTPL
was recognized under results.
IFRS 9 is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
Company Management expects IFRS 9 to be adopted in the financial statements for the annual period
beginning January 1, 2013 and that adoption of this new standard will not have a material effect on the
reported balances of its financial assets and liabilities. Nonetheless, it is not possible to provide a
reasonable estimate of such effect until such time as a detailed review is conducted.

Consolidation rules, participation agreements, affiliates and disclosures, including IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS
12, IAS 27 (revised in 2011) and IAS 28 (revised in 2011).
In May of 2011 a package of five standards for consolidation, joint arrangements, associates and
disclosures was issued: IFRS 10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 (revised in 2011) and IAS 28 (revised in 2011).
The main requirements of these five standards are as follows.
103

IFRS 10 substitutes the parts of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that deal with
consolidated financial statements. SIC-12 Consolidation Special Purpose Companies was withdrawn
with the issue of IFRS 10. According to IFRS 10, there is only one base for consolidation, that is, control.
In addition, IFRS 10 includes a new definition of control that contains three elements: (a) power over an
investee; (b) exposure or rights to variable returns from its interest in the investee and (c) capacity for
using its power over the investee to affect the amounts of the returns to the investor. Comprehensive
guidelines have been included in IFRS 10 to deal with complex scenarios.
IFRS 11 substitutes IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures. IFRS 11 deals with how a joint arrangement
where to or more parties have joint control is to be classified. SIC-13 Joint Ventures Non-Monetary
Contributions of Investors was withdrawn with the issue of IFRS 11. Under IFRS 11, joint arrangements
are classified as combined or joint ventures according to the rights and obligations of the parties to the
joint arrangements. On the other hand, under IAS 31 there are three types of joint arrangements: jointly
held entities, jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations.
In addition, under IFRS 11 joint ventures are to be recorded under the equity accounting method,
whereas jointly held entities, according to IAS 31, can be recognized under the equity accounting method
or the proportional accounting method.
IFRS 12 is a disclosure standard applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint
arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. By and large, the disclosure
requirements under IFRS 12 are more comprehensive than the current standards.
These five standards are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
Management believes that these five norms will be adopted for the Companys financial statements for
the annual period beginning January 1, 2013, although it does not expect significant effects.

IFRS 13

IFRS 13 presents a single source of orientation for measurement of fair value and disclosures regarding
fair value measurements. The standard defines fair value, presents a fair value measurement structure
and requires disclosures of the fair value measurements. The scope of IFRS 13 is comprehensive,
applying to items of financial and non-financial instruments for which other IFRSs require or permit fair
value measurements and disclosures of fair value measurements, except in determined cases. For
example, quantitative and qualitative disclosures based on the fair value hierarchy of three levels,
currently employed for financial instruments only under IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, will be
complemented by IFRS 13 so as to include all assets and liabilities in its scope.
IFRS 13 is applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013.
Management expects IFRS 13 to be adopted in the Companys financial statements for the annual period
beginning January 1, 2013 and that adoption of the new standard may result in amounts being reported
in the financial statements and more comprehensive disclosures in the financial statements.

IAS 1
The changes to IAS 1 permit presentation of income and other comprehensive income in a single
statement or in two separate and consecutive statements. Even so, the changes to IAS 1 require
additional disclosures in other comprehensive income, such that the items of other comprehensive income
are grouped in two categories: (a) items that will not be reclassified later in income, and (b) items that
will be reclassified later according to determined conditions. The income tax on the items of other
comprehensive income will be dealt with likewise.
The modifications in IAS 1 are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2012.
Presentation of the items of other comprehensive income will be modified appropriated as the changes
are adopted in future reporting periods.
104

IAS 12
The changes to IAS 12 involve an exception to the general principles of IAS 12 in the sense that
measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is to reflect the tax effects resulting from the manner in
which the entity expects to recover the carrying value of an asset. Specifically, according to the changes,
it is expected the investment properties measured based on the fair value model under IAS 40 Investment
Property be recovered through sale for purposes of measuring deferred taxes, unless the premises are
invalidated in determined circumstances.
The modifications in IAS 12 are applicable to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2012.
Management has not yet conducted a detailed analysis of the impact of applying these Standards, though
it does not expect the effects thereof to be material.

The Transition Taxation System (RTT)


For purposes of calculating income tax and social contribution on net profit for the fiscal year 2008,
Brazilian companies could opt for Transition Taxation System (Regime Tributrio de Transio - RTT),
which allows the corporation to eliminate the accounting effects of the Law 11,638, through records in the
Book of Calculation of Taxable Income (Livro de Apurao do Lucro Real - LALUR) or auxiliary, without
any change in bookkeeping. The choice of this scheme should be made upon presentation of the
Declaration of Legal Entities Income Tax of calendar year 2008.
The Transition Taxation System (RTT) will remain in effect until such time as laws take effect in Brazil to
govern the tax effects of the new accounting practices introduced, with a view to tax neutrality.
The Company elected to adopt the RTT in 2008. As a consequence, for purposes of calculating income
tax and social contribution on net income for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the Company
used the prerogatives defined in the RTT, which in 2010 became mandatory.

b.

Significant changes in accounting practices

There was no change in significant accounting practices, methods of calculation, judgments, estimates
and accounting assumptions in the financial statements of the company for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2011, December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

c.

Qualifications or points on the auditors opinion

There were no qualifications or points relating to financial statements on the opinion issued by the
independent auditor.
10.5 The management shall indicate and comment on critical accounting policies adopted
by the issuer, by exposing mainly the accounting estimates made by management on
uncertain and relevant questions for description of the financial situation and the results,
which require subjective or complex judgments, such as: provisions, contingencies,
recognition of revenue, fiscal credits, long-term assets, useful life of non-current assets,
pension plans, conversion adjustments in foreign currency, recovery environmental costs,
standards for testing the recovery of assets and financial instruments.

Estimates and judgments used in the preparation of Financial Statements


Preparation of the Companys financial statements requires Management to make judgments and
estimates and adopt premises that affect the amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, as
well as disclosures of contingent liabilities as of the reporting date. Nevertheless, the uncertainty relating
to such assumptions and estimates may lead to results that require significant adjustment to the carrying
value of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
105

The main assumptions relating to sources of uncertainties in the future estimates and other importance
sources of uncertainty in estimates as of the reporting date, involving significant risk of causing a major
change in the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the next financial year, are as set out below:
Impairment of non-financial assets
Transactions with payments based on shares
Taxes
Fair value of financial instruments
Provisions for tax, civil and labor risks
Useful life of fixed assets
Revenue recognition
Following, the Companys Management presents a discussion about what they consider relevant as
accounting practices for the presentation of Companys financial information.
(i) Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the respective instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to
the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and liabilities (except financial assets and liabilities
recognized at fair value in results) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or
liabilities, if applicable, after initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of
financial assets and liabilities appraised at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) are recognized
immediately in results.
(ii) Current and deferred income tax and social contribution
The Companys expenses on the federal corporate income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution on net
income (CSLL) encompass both current and deferred taxes. Such income taxes are recognized in the
income statement, except in the proportion in which they are related to items recognized directly under
stockholders equity or comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognized in one of the latter
two captions.
The current IRPJ and CSLL expense is calculated according to the legal tax bases effective in Brazil as of
the reporting date, namely 15% plus a surcharge of 10% for taxable income in excess of R$ 240 for
income tax and 9% on taxable results for social contribution purposes. The Companys Board periodically
evaluates the positions adopted in relation to tax issues that are subject to interpretation and recognizes a
provision when there are expectations for payment of IRPJ and CSLL on the tax bases.
The deferred IRPJ and CSLL are calculated on temporary differences between the bases for calculation of
taxes on assets and liabilities and the carrying values recognized in the financial statements. The rates
for such taxes as currently defined for determination of such deferred credits are 25% for income tax and
9% for social contribution.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be
available for use in offsetting the temporary differences, based on projections for future results drawn up
106

and grounded on internal premises and on future economic scenarios that may therefore be subject to
alterations.
The recoverability of the balance of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period
and, when it is no longer considered probable that future taxable income will be available to permit
recovery of all such assets, or part of them, the balance thereof is adjusted to the amount that it is
expected will be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in
which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax
liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the
Companys Board expects, at the end of the reporting period, the Company to recover or settle the
carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
For purposes of calculating the IRPJ and CSLL, the Company adopted the Transition Tax System (RTT),
pursuant to Law No. 11.941/09, that is to say, in determining the taxable income, Management
considered the accounting criteria under Law No. 6.404/76 (the previous Brazilian corporation law), prior
to the alterations imposed by the new corporation Law (No. 11.638/07).
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset
current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities are related
to the income taxes levied by the same taxing authority on the taxable entity or different taxable entities
when there is the intent to settle the balances on a net basis.
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in results, except when they correspond to items recorded
under Other comprehensive income, or directly under Stockholders equity, in which case the current and
deferred taxes are also recognized under Other comprehensive income or directly under Stockholders
equity, respectively. When current and deferred taxes result from the initial recognition of a business
combination, the tax effect is considered in recording the business combination.
(iii)

PP&E: Company use and rental and operational use

Property, plant and equipment for rental and operational use provides the better part of its revenues,
either through simple rental, or rental combined with assembly/dismantling services.
The PP&E for Company use consists principally of the installations for equipment storage, offices,
betterments, furniture, fixtures and equipment required for functioning of the installations.
The items of PP&E is valued at historic cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, which
includes expenditures directly attributed to the acquisition of such fixed assets.
Subsequent costs are incorporated into the residual value of the PP&E or recognized as a specific item, as
appropriate, only if the economic benefits associated with such items are probable and the amounts
thereof can be reliably measured. The residual balance of the replaced item is derecognized. Other
repair and maintenance work is recognized directly in results when incurred.
Depreciation is recorded under the straight-line method, at the rates presented in Note 11 of the financial
statements, which take into consideration the estimated useful economic life of the assets. Land is not
depreciated.

107

Assets maintained through finance leases are depreciated based on their expected useful life, just as the
Companys own assets, or for a shorter period, if applicable, as per the terms of the lease agreement in
question.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the values of the sale with the carrying value
and are included in operating results.
The residual value and estimated useful life of the assets are reviewed each year and the effect of any
changes in the estimates is recognized on a forward-looking basis.
(iv)Goodwill
The goodwill resulting from a business combination is recognized at cost as of the business combination
date, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
The goodwill is allocated to cash generation units (CGUs) for impairment testing purposes. Allocation is
made to CGUs or groups of CGUs that should benefit from the business combination from which the
goodwill arose, and such units/groups are identified per business segment.
(v)

Impairment of assets

PP&E and other noncurrent assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, are reviewed annually to
identify evidence of impairment, or further, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying values thereof may not be recoverable. When such is the case, the recoverable amount is
calculated to check whether there is a loss. When there is, it is recognized at the amount by which the
carrying value of the asset exceeds is recoverable amount, which is the greater of the net sale price and
the value of the asset in use. For impairment testing purposes, assets are grouped into the lowest levels
for which separately identifiable cash flows exist (CGUs). Non-financial assets, except goodwill, that have
become impaired are reviewed for analysis of possible reversal of the impairment as of the reporting date.
(vi)Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present, legal or non-formalized obligation as a result
of past events and it is probable that an outflow of funds will be needed to settle the obligation and a
reliable estimate of the amount thereof can be made.
The provisions for tax, civil and labor risks are recorded in the amount of probable losses, with due heed
being paid to the nature of each provision (according to Note 18 of the financial statement). Based on the
opinion of legal counsel, the Companys Management believes that the provisions set up are sufficient to
cover any losses on cases underway. The provisions are measured at the present value of the
expenditures that should be needed to settle the obligation, with use of a pre-tax rate that reflects current
market appraisals of the time value of money and the specific risks of the obligation. The increase in the
obligation as a result of the passage of time is recognized as an expense.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognized when the expected benefits to be derived from the
contract are lower than the inevitable cost of meeting the contractual obligations. The provision is
measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost for terminating the contract and the
expected net cost of continuing with the contract.
(vii)

Stock-based remuneration

Mills offers its employees and executives a remuneration plan based on stock options that are convertible
into common shares, whereby the Company receives their services as consideration for the stock
108

purchase options. For further information, see item 13 of this Reference Form.The fair value of the
options granted is recognized as an expense during the period in which the rights vest, during which the
specific terms for the vesting rights are to be met. At the reporting date the Company revises its
estimates of the quantity of options that are to be vested based on such terms, in order to recognize the
impact of the revision of the initial estimates, if any, on the income statement, with a contra entry in the
capital reserve under stockholders equity.
The amounts received, net of any directly attributable transaction costs, are credited to the capital stock
upon exercise of the options.
(viii)

Revenue recognition

Revenue from the performance of services is recognized based on the measurement of the stages for
performance of the services carried out through the reporting date.
Revenue from the sale of merchandise is recognized when the significant risks and benefits of ownership
of the merchandise are transferred to the buyer. Accordingly, the Company adopts the date on which the
product is delivered to the buyer as the basis for its revenue recognition policy.
Leasing revenue is recognized on a prorated basis in monthly results on a straight-line basis, according to
the equipment lease agreements.
The Company separates the identifiable components of a single contract or group of contracts in order to
reflect the substance thereof, recognizing the revenue from each one of the elements in a manner that is
proportional to their fair value. Accordingly, the Companys revenue is divided into leasing, technical
assistance, sales and indemnities/recoveries of expenses.
Interest income is recognized in a manner proportional to time, taking into consideration the outstanding
principal and the effective interest rate over the period to maturity, at which time it is determined that
such revenue will be appropriated to the Company.
The revenues from dividends from investments made by Mills is recognized when the shareholders right
to receive such dividends is established, provided that it is probable that the future economic benefits will
flow to the Company and the amount of such revenues can be reliably measured.
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the taxes levied on sales.
10.6 Regarding the internal controls adopted to ensure the preparation of reliable financial
statements, the management shall comment on:

a.

10.7 Management comments on the use of resources from public offerings for distribution
of securities
In April, 2010, the Initial Public Offering of shares of the Company provided net proceeds of R$411
million, which enabled the Company to expand its investments in all divisions to meet the growing
demand in markets where it operates and to settle higher cost debts.
In the fiscal years ended December 31st, 2010 and 2011, the Company invested R$348.5 million and
R$430.4 million, respectively, mainly in equipment acquisition.
The Company also invested the amount of R$95.5 million in acquisitions in 2011. On January 19th, 2011,
the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 25.0% of the voting and total capital
of Rohr, a private company specializing in access engineering and the provision of construction solutions,
for R$90.0 million. On May 27th, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to
acquire 100% of the voting and total capital of GP Sul, one of the largest players in the suspended
scaffold rental market to residential and commercial construction in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, for R$
5.5 million.
To obtain sufficient resources for such investments, the Company used the resources from its Initial Public
Offering, cash generation and debt issuance.
On March 29th, 2011, the Company conducted its first issue of 30 promissory notes, each with par value
of R$1.0 million, totaling R$30.0 million.
On April 18th, 2011, the Company conducted its first issue of 27,000 debentures, each with par value of
R$10,000.00, totaling of R$270.0 million.
In terms of their deed of issuance, it was established the following destination for net resources of this
offering (a) the redemption of commercial papers of 90 days issued in March 2011, totaling R$30 million,
(b) the investments defined in the expansion plan of Mills, including estimated investments of R$ 337
million in 2011, (c) rearrangement of cash balance following disbursement of R$90.0 million in February
2011 in connection with the acquisition of 25.0% of the Rohr total capital stock, and (d) general corporate
purposes and expenses of the Company.
On December 7th, 2011 the Company issued a single series of 3 (three) commercial promissory notes
with unit face value of R$ 9.0 million, for a total amount of R$ 27.0 million with maturity on December 1 st,
2012. Remuneration interest charges will fall due corresponding to 100% of the accumulated variation in
the average daily Domestic Demand (DI) rates, plus 1.10% per annum. Remuneration will be fully paid
upon the maturity date.
The resources used for strategic acquisitions until December 31st, 2011, totaled R$95.5 million, R$61.7
million, or 39%, less than the amount estimated at the date of the prospectus for Initial Public Offering
shares issued by the Company.

110

10.10 Management shall indicate and comment on key elements of the Company's business,
specifically exploring the following topics:

a.
Investments, including: (i) quantitative and qualitative description of investments in
progress and forecasted investments; (ii) financing sources of investments and (iii) relevant
alienations in progress and forecasted alienations
The Company plans its investment policy in accordance with its cash flow and credit availability in the
market. The Companys internal policy is to maintain its leverage around 1.0x Net Debt to EBITDA. To
ensure the necessary amount of capital for the implementation of its investment plan, the Company
constituted a statutory reserve, of which the shareholders may allocate up to 75% of net income,
provided that such reservation does not exceed the limit of 80% of the capital. The Management presents
below major investments made in the course of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and
highlight the investment budget for fiscal year 2012.

Investments in 2008, 2009 and 2010


The Company experienced a period of rapid expansion in 2009, 2010 and 2011, due in large part to the
investments and geographic expansion of Jahu and Rental division. Companys principal investments in
this period are described below:

Heavy Construction Division


In the fiscal years ended by December, 31st, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Heavy Construction division
invested, mainly, in shoring structures and industrialized steel and aluminum formwork, amounting to
R$23.5 million in 2009, R$74.3 million in 2010 and R$47.3 million in 2011.

Industrial Services Division


Along the fiscal years ended by December, 31st, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Industrial Services division
invested R$4.6 million, R$25.0 million and R$ 17.3 million, respectively, in the acquisition of equipment
and raw materials, mainly, tubes, aluminum flooring, and third-party equipment that had previously been
rented by the division.

Jahu Division
Over the past three fiscal years ended by December, 31 st, 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Jahu Division
invested mainly in acquisition of shoring equipment, formwork and suspended scaffolding and
industrialized steel and aluminum formwork, having disbursed R$16.0 million in 2009, R$104.0 million in
2010, R$185.0 million in 2011. In 2011, there was the acquisition of GP Sul by R$5.5 million, amouting to
R$190.5 million.

Rental Division
In 2009, despite the world macroeconomic scenario being unfavorable for most of the year, the Company
continued to implement its strategy of expanding its portfolio of aerial work platforms and telescopic
handlers, investing approximately R$30 million in the acquisition of such equipment. In 2010 and 2011,
the Company continued to implement its plan of geographic expansion, investing approximately R$130.6
million in 2010 and R$162.8 million in 2011 in the acquisition of new rental equipment.

Acquisition of Rohr
On January 19, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire 25.0% of the
voting and total capital of Rohr, a private company specializing in access engineering and the provision of
construction solutions, for R$90.0 million. This strategic acquisition enabled the Company to broaden its
exposure to the sectors it serves infrastructure, residential and commercial construction, oil & gas
industry, among others.
111

Acquisition of GP Sul
On May 27, 2011, the Company entered into a purchase and sales agreement to acquire 100% of the
voting and total capital stock of GP Sul, which the Companys Management believed to be one of the
largest players in the suspended scaffold rental market to residential and commercial construction in the
state of Rio Grande do Sul, by the time of the acquisition, for R$5.5 million. This strategic acquisition, as
evaluated by the Management, enabled the Company to become the leader in the suspended scaffold
rental market in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and to broaden its exposure to the residential and
commercial construction market in the South region, in line with the geographic expansion plan of Jahu
Residential and Commercial Construction division.
The Company intends to finance its investments through (i) cash generated from its own activities, and
(ii) indebtedness.

Investments Planned for 2012


In 2012, the Company aims to invest R$127 million in equipment acquisition for all divisions. The budget
predicted for 2012 targets the leverage reduction, as measured by the Net Debt/EBITDA indicator, to
1.0x.
In case the market continues offering attractive opportunities and the macroeconomic scenario is
favorable, the Company may expand our investments for 2012 over the year, as our operating cash flow
increases, since we have great flexibility as regards increasing our inventory of equipment, because the
time between investment decision-making and receiving equipment is around 90 days.
The following table sets forth its planned investments for 2012 by division:

b.
Since it has already disclosed, indicate the purchase of plants, equipment, patents or
other assets that should materially affect the productive capacity of the Company
The Company has in its estimated budget the continued expansion of its operations, through the purchase
of equipment for part of which orders have already been made.

c.
New products and services, by indicating: (i) description of researches in progress
already disclosed; (ii) total amounts paid by the issuer in researches for development of new
products or services; (iii) projects under development already disclosed and (iv) total
amounts paid by the issuer for the development of new products or services
The Companys management believes that providing innovative solutions is a constant mark of its
activities and a key aspect to retain its customers. However the Company doesnt realize internally
research and development. The Company visits the main national and international fairs of the industrial
equipment and construction annually to meet the major technological innovations available to the industry
in which the Company operates. Furthermore, the Companys representatives visit the factories of leading
national and international manufacturers of equipment and construction sites around the world to assess
the functioning and operation of advanced equipment available for purchase.
The Company does not develop new products and services, so it doesnt incur expenses related to the
research and development. All the technology and innovation present in its equipment and offered to its
clients come from its suppliers. For this, the Company seeks to acquire or license new technologies from
third parties on acceptable terms in the domestic and international market, preferably with usual suppliers
with whom the Company seeks to establish long term partnerships. As an example of such partnerships,
the Company entered into a licensing contract in 1996 with the German company NOE Schaltechnik, to
produce and supply modular steel and aluminum panel formwork (replacing the wood) for the Brazilian
construction market, an innovation in the Brazilian market.
In January 2012, the Company has entered into a exclusive cooperation agreement with Beerenberg
Corp. AS (Beerenberg) to produce, sell and install its Benarx product line in the Brazilian market.
10.11 Management is expected to discuss and analyze other material factors that influenced
operating performance, which were not discussed under previous items in this section.
There are no other factors to comment on.

COMPENSATION FOR ADMINISTRATION

13.1 Description of the compensation policy or practices for the Executive Board, the
Statutory and Non-Statutory Boards, the Fiscal Committee, the Statutory Committees and

a.

Objectives of the compensation policy or practices

Board of Directors
For the Board of Directors of the Company, the total remuneration is fixed in amount discretionary
determined by the general meeting with no regarding with the remuneration policy applicable to officers
and other employees of the Company and therefore there is no goal at the policy or remuneration
practice of this body.
As part of total remuneration discretionary approved by the general meeting, there is a fixed component
and a variable component, according to the results of the Company. The Company believes that the
variable remuneration of the members of the Board is a way to encourage them to successfully lead the
Company's business by aligning the interests of members of the Board of Directors with those of
shareholders.
Statutory Directors and Non-Statutory Directors
For statutory directors and non-statutory directors of the Company, the remuneration policy aims to
enable it to hire and guarantee that the qualified professionals required remain in management positions
and have a proper remuneration. The fixed amount of the remuneration of the Directors includes the
salary and direct and indirect benefits tailored for statutory directors and non-statutory directors. In
addition to the fixed compensation, there is a variable component, which includes profit-sharing in the
Companys results and the granting of stock options or subscribing to shares issued. The Company
believes that the profit-sharing and stock option programs benefiting statutory directors and non-statutory
directors is a way to motivate them to carry out the Companys business in its best interest, thus
stimulating an entrepreneurial and results orientated culture in line with the interests of both shareholders
and management.
Fiscal Council:
The Fiscal Council was installed at the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on April 19, 2011. At the

Fiscal Council on a permanent body, with three members and their alternates. Members of the Fiscal
Council are entitled to remuneration equivalent to 10% of the average remuneration of the statutory
board, corresponding to the minimum set by law. In this way, their remuneration is not correlated to the
remuneration policy applicable to officers and other employees of the Company and therefore there is no
objective of the policy or practice of remuneration for that body.
Human Resources Committee:
The members of the Human Resources Committee will be entitled to remuneration equivalent to 50% of
the monthly remuneration of the members the Board of Directors. The Committee members who are
directors, officers or employees of the Company shall not be entitled to remuneration. The remuneration

135

policy is adequately compensate Committee members for time spent in office, except by those who are
already paid by the Company to its directors or employees.

b.
Composition of compensation packages: (i) description of the different elements of
the compensation packages and the objectives of each of them; (ii) proportion of each
element to make up the total compensation package; (iii) the method for calculating and
adjusting each of the elements in the compensation packages; and (iv) reasons for the
composition of remuneration
(i) Description of the different elements of the compensation packages:
Salary and pro-labore.
The fixed remuneration of statutory directors and non-statutory directors is designed to recognize and
reflect the value of the job position internally and externally, considering the competitors of the Company
and companies of similar size in terms of their gross sales. The comparison with the market remuneration
is carried out by market research conducted by consulting firm hired or through database purchased from
a consultant. In 2010 and 2011, the Company conducted market research with companies Saliby RH and
Towers Watson, respectively. Additionally, the Company uses the database with market remuneration
from the consulting company Mercer.
For the Board of Directors of the Company (and the Human Resources Committee), the remuneration,
fixed and/or variable (the last as bonus), is discretionary determined by the general meeting with no
regarding with the remuneration policy applicable to officers and other employees of the Company and
therefore there is no goal at the policy or remuneration practice of this body. Members of the Fiscal
Council are entitled to remuneration equivalent to 10% of the average remuneration of the statutory
board, corresponding to the minimum set by law. In this way, their remuneration is not correlated to the
remuneration policy applicable to officers and other employees of the Company and therefore there is no
aim of policy or practice of remuneration for that body.

Direct and indirect benefits.


Granted exclusively to statutory directors and non-statutory directors, the direct and indirect benefits
includes medical assistance, life insurance, vehicle leasing and food vouchers, with the aim of
complementing the social welfare benefits offered. The comparison with the market remuneration is
carried out by market research conducted by consulting firm hired or through database purchased from a
consultant. In 2010 and 2011, the Company conducted market research with companies Saliby RH and
Towers Watson, respectively. Additionally, the Company uses the database with market remuneration
from the consulting company Mercer.
Members of the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council and Human Resources Committee are not entitled to
any direct and indirect benefits.

Profit-sharing and bonus


Granted to statutory directors and non-statutory directors, the profit-sharing aim is to motivate
management to carry out the Companys business in its best interest, thus stimulating an entrepreneurial
and results orientated culture in line with the interests of both shareholders and management. Eventual
bonuses paid to members of the Board of Directors, discretionary determined by the general meeting with
no regarding with the remuneration policy applicable to officers and other employees of the Company,
have the same goal.
Members of the Fiscal Council and Human Resources Committee are not entitled to participate in the
profit-sharing and bonus of the Company.

136

Stock options or subscription to shares


Granted exclusively to statutory directors and non-statutory directors, the stock option and subscription to
shares aim to motivate management to carry out the Companys business in its best interest, thus
stimulating an entrepreneurial and results orientated culture in line with the interests of both shareholders
and management.
Members of the Board of Directors, Fiscal Council and Human Resources Committee are not entitled to
stock option and subscription to shares.

(iii) The method for calculating and adjusting each of the elements in the compensation packages:
The fixed portion of compensation paid to statutory directors and non-statutory directors is determined
based on market standards, and thus readjusted annually at the normal levels to account for the loss in
currency value.
In terms of the profit-sharing program granted to statutory directors and non-statutory directors, and
bonus, granted to members of Board of Directors, this plan is based on the aggregate economic value,
which consists of the adjusted net profit deducted from shareholder obligations. If positive, 25% of the
Economic Value Added (EVA) will be distributed to Management and employees, and whose share will be
defined in an increasing manner in accordance with their hierarchical level in the Company and results
obtained by their respective divisions. i.e. in a proportion of 50% based on the divisions results that the
manager or employee in question is linked to and 50% based on the result of our Company as a whole.
For the employees of corporate areas, the program considers the total result of the company. In 2010 the
Company distributed R$13.8 million related to 2009 results, in 2011 the Company distributed R$17.5
million related to the results of 2010, and in 2012 were distributed R$7.9 million for the results of 2011.
As from 2012, from 20% to 30% of the EVA can be distributed to Management and employees of the
Company, being determined by the Board of Directors the percentage to be applied each year. The share
will continue to be increasingly defined according to their hierarchical level and according to the results
obtained by their respective Division, however in the ratio of 75% on the result of the Division to which
the Management or employee concerned belongs, and 25% on the outcome of the Company as a whole.
For the employees of corporate areas, the program will continue considering the total result of the
company.
Regarding the Stock Option plan to purchase or subscribe shares, granted to the statutory directors and
non-statutory directors, the number of options granted is proportional to the investment in the Company's
shares with resources obtained from the profit sharing program described above. Additionally, the Board
of Directors may distribute stock options or subscription of discretionary shares to statutory directors and
non-statutory directors, that is, independent of the investment in the Company's shares with resources
obtained from the profit sharing program described above, based on performance merit and/or outcome.
For the Board of Directors of the Company (and the Human Resources Committee), the remuneration is
discretionary determined by the general meeting with no regarding with the remuneration policy
applicable to officers and other employees of the Company and therefore there is no goal at the policy or
137

remuneration practice of this body. Members of the Fiscal Council are entitled to remuneration equivalent
to 10% of the average remuneration of the statutory board, corresponding to the minimum set by law. In
this way, their remuneration is not correlated to the remuneration policy applicable to officers and other
employees of the Company and therefore there is no aim of policy or practice of remuneration for that
body. So, there is no method of calculation and adjustment of each element of remuneration.
(iv) Reasons for the composition of remuneration:
For the statutory directors and non-statutory directors, the policy aims the remuneration of professionals
based on the responsibilities inherent in their job positions, market practices and the Companys level of
competiveness.
For the Board of Directors, the Human Resources Committee and the Fiscal Council, the remuneration
paid by the Company is fixed, in amount discretionary determined by the general meeting, in case of
Board of Directors (and the Human Resources Committee), and according to the law, in case of Fiscal
Council. The remuneration of the member of these bodies has no regard with the remuneration policy
applicable to officers and other employees of the Company and therefore there is no goal at the policy or
remuneration practice of this body.
For the statutory directors and non-statutory directors and the member of the Board of Directors, the
variable portion is justified by the Companys focus on results and the aim of aligning management
interests with those of the Company.

c.
Main performance indicators that are taken into consideration when determining each
element of the compensation package
The main performance indicator used to determine the variable component of management remuneration
is the Companys Economic Value Added (EVA), which is calculated from the net profit of the Company,
deducting from this remuneration the capital invested in the Company at capital invested in the Company
at book value multiplied by the weighted average of each capital of the Company. The variable portion of
remuneration is determined from the economic value generated in the Company and in the division,
under its responsibility.

d.
How the compensation package is structured to reflect the development of the
performance indicators
The remuneration consists of a significant variable portion, represented by profit-sharing in the
Companys results, and the values to be distributed are directly proportionate to the Companys Economic
Value Added (EVA), calculated annually in accordance with the formula described in item (c) above.

e.
How the compensation policy is aligned with the Companys short-, medium- and
long-term interests
The remuneration paid monthly to statutory directors and non-statutory directors is in line with the shortterm interests of the Company to attract and retain qualified professionals. The profit-sharing and stock
options plan is aligned with the medium-to-long-term interests of the Company to motivate management
to carry out the Companys business, stimulating an entrepreneurial and results-orientated culture, to the
extent that both shareholders and directors benefit from improvements in the results and increases in the
price of the shares.
For the Board of Directors of the Company (and the Human Resources Committee), the remuneration is
fixed in amount discretionary determined by the general meeting with no regarding with the remuneration
policy applicable to officers and other employees of the Company and therefore there is no goal at the
policy or remuneration practice of this body. Members of the Fiscal Council are entitled to remuneration
equivalent to 10% of the average remuneration of the statutory board, corresponding to the minimum set
by law. In this way, their remuneration is not correlated to the remuneration policy applicable to officers
138

and other employees of the Company and therefore there is no aim of policy or practice of remuneration
for that body.
For the Board of Directors, the bonus, which is based on profit-sharing, is in line with the Companys mid
and long term best interest of stimulating an entrepreneurial and results orientated culture.

f.
Existence of compensation supported by subsidiaries, and direct or indirect affiliates
or holding companies
Not applicable. There isnt any remuneration supported by subsidiaries, and direct or indirect affiliates or
holding companies.

g.
Existence of any compensation or benefits connected to the occurrence of a given
corporate event, such as the sale of the Companys controlling interest
Not applicable. There is no remuneration or benefits connected to the occurrence of a given corporate
event, such as the sale of the Companys controlling interest.

which is estimated for the current accounting reference period:

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS


On December 31st of 2011, the Company had a single stock option plan for the benefit of its managers,
these being the Plano de Opes de Compra de Aes 2011, as described below. This plan will remain
for the fiscal year 2012, with no expectation for the creation of new plan this year. Until December 31st of
2011, a total of 51,251 options had been exercised associated with this plan, with 879,509 previously
granted purchase options remaining.

Stock Option Plan 2010 (Plano de Opes de Compras de Aes 2010)


a. Terms and general conditions:
At the Extraordinary General Shareholders meeting held on February 8, 2010, the Stock Option Plan for
Shares Issued by the Company was approved called Plano de Opes de Compra de Aes 2010 (Stock
Option Plan - 2010), with amendments approved by the Board of Directors Meeting held on May 31,
2010 and by the Extraordinary General Shareholders meeting held on April 20, 2012. The Board of
Directors approved (i) on March 11th, 2010, the Companys Program 1/2010 Stock Options Plan (1/2010
Program); and (ii) on March 25th, 2011, the Program 1/2011 Stock Options Plan (1/2011 Program).
The 2010 Stock Options Plan is managed by our Board of Directors, which considers the contribution of
each beneficiary to achieving the targets designed to create added value, the development potential of
each, and the essential nature of their jobs among other characteristics considered strategically relevant,
elected as beneficiaries of the 2010 Stock Options Plan (i) for the 1/2010 Program, all the directors (or
executives with similar roles) of the Company, and Company managers who have held their positions in
2009 for more than 6 (six) months; and (ii) for the 1/2011 Program, all the directors (or executives with
similar roles) of the Company, and Company managers who have held their positions in 2010 for more
than 6 (six) months.
b. Major Plan Objectives:
The aim of the 2010 Stock Options Plan is to allow for the Companys managers or employees or those in
any of its subsidiaries, subject to determined conditions, to acquire shares in the Company, for the
purpose of (i) stimulating expansion, determining and implementing the Companys corporate guidelines;
(ii) align the interests of the Companys shareholders with those of its managers and employees or other
entities it controls; and (iii) allow the Company or its subsidiaries to attract and retain the managers and
employees it requires.
c. How the plans contribute for the achievement of these objectives:
As most of the options are available over the long term, the beneficiaries tend to stay with the Company
until at least the time they can contribute to its long-term results.
d. How the plan is included in the Companys compensation policy :
As mentioned in Item 13.1b, this plan is part of the variable compensation package paid to Company
directors.

143

e. How the plans promote the alignment between management and the Company interests at short,
mid and long term:
The plan aligns the interests of management, the Company, and shareholders by means of the benefits
offered to the beneficiaries based on the performance of shares in the Company. Through this plan, the
Company seeks to stimulate expansion, the scope and implementation of the Companys social objectives
and the retention of the beneficiaries, looking ahead to gains made through their commitment to longterm results and short-term performance.
f.

The maximum number of shares options to be granted:

The stock options granted within the scope of this plan confer the rights to acquire up to 5% of shares in
our capital stock. In addition, the aim of the plan is to grant share purchase options in an amount that
does not exceed 1.5% of shares in our total capital every year, as verified on the date the plan was
approved.
As part of the 1/2010 Program, 538,714 options have been granted that will be converted into ordinary
shares in the Company. Up to December 31st, 2011, 51,251 options have been exercised.
As part of the 1/2011 Program, 392,046 options have been granted that will be converted into ordinary
shares in the Company. Up to December 31st, 2011, no options have been exercised.

g. The maximum number of stock options to be granted


As a result of the number of shares that can be acquired within the scope of the stock option plan. The
maximum total number of shares to be issued is up to 5% of total stock.
h. Conditions for acquiring the shares
To receive the stock options in the 1/2010 Program, each beneficiary had to use at least 33% of the
variable component of their compensation associated with the Companys Profit-Sharing Program, net of
taxes, which were received related to the 2009 financial year, to acquire shares issued by the Company.
To receive the stock options in the 1/2011 Program, each beneficiary had to use at least 33% of the
variable component of their compensation associated with the Companys Profit-Sharing Program, net of
taxes, which were received related to the 2010 financial year, to acquire shares issued by the Company.
Additionally, the Board of Directors approved grants within the 1/2010 and 1/2011 Programs, independent
of the investment in the Company's shares to certain employees of the Company, due to its performance
in the exercise of their jobs.
i.

Criteria for determining the acquisition or exercise price

Until April 20, 2012, the price of the ordinary shares to be acquired by the beneficiaries, by exercising
their option rights were determined by the Companys Board of Directors or committee based exclusively
on the average share price on the BM&FBOVESPA, weighted by the trading volume in the month or the
two months prior to the granting of the stock option, monetarily adjusted by the inflation index IPCA
(ndice de Preos ao Consumidor Amplo), and deducting the value of dividends and interest on equity
per share paid by the Company as from the stock option date. On April 20, 2012, according to the
resolution of the General Meeting held on that date, the criterion for fixing the exercise price of the
options that have as a counterpart the acquisition of shares by its beneficiary was changed and was
defined as the equity value of the shares on the last day of the subsequent fiscal year. This change does
not affect the options granted prior to that General Meeting and the new criterion does not apply to
options granted that have no counterpart of the acquisition of shares by the beneficiary, which continues
to be applied the criterion of market price, described above.
For the 1/2010 Program, the exercise price of the options will be based on the value of the shares issued
at the Companys Initial Public Offering (R$11.50), monetarily adjusted by the inflation according to the
IPCA, deducting the value of dividends and interest on equity per share paid by the Company as from the
144

stock option date. Regarding the 1/2011 Program, the exercise price of the options will be (i) the average
share price acquired according to brokerage invoice sent by the beneficiary to the Board of Directors or
Human Resources Committee of the Company (R$ 19.28), (ii) monetarily adjusted by the inflation
according to the IPCA, disclosed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), or by
another index determined by the Board of Directors or committee, according to the case, from the date of
conclusion of the stock option agreement until the date the option is exercised, (iii) deducting the value of
dividends and interest on equity per share paid by the Company as from the stock option date.
j.

Criteria used to determine the exercise term

The options granted under the terms of this plan will be subject to grace periods of up to 72 (seventy
two) months for the conversion of options into shares.
k. Form of liquidation/settlement
The shares resulting from the exercising of purchase options will be integrated and/or acquired by their
respective beneficiaries in cash, in current national currency.
l.

Restrictions on the transfer of shares

Until the exercise price is fully paid, the shares acquired through exercising the option rights under the
terms of the Plan cannot be sold to third parties, except with the prior authorization of the Board, based
on the hypothesis that the product of the sale will preferably be used to settle any debt the beneficiary
has with the Company.
Based on the terms of the respective Option Contract, no beneficiary will be allowed to trade the shares
acquired for a period of 5 (five) years, observing the following rules:
(i)
after a period of one year after signing the respective Option Contract, beneficiaries will be free to

(ii)
after a period of one year after the term defined in item i, beneficiaries will be free to trade an
additional 25% of the shares acquired;

after a period of one year after the term defined in item ii, beneficiaries will be free to trade an
additional 25% of the shares acquired; and
(iv)
after a period of one year after the term defined in item iii, beneficiaries will be free to trade the
outstanding balance of the shares acquired.
m. criteria and events that, when verified, will lead to the suspension, alteration or extinction of the
plan

following cases: (i) on the complete and full exercising of the same; (ii) after the option term has expired;
(iii) through the mutual rescission of the stock option; (iv) if the Company is dissolved, liquidated or files
for bankruptcy; or (v) if the beneficiary fails to observe the trading restriction rules described in item n
below.
In addition, in the event the beneficiary is laid off, with or without just cause, resigns or steps down from
their job, retires, or suffers from permanent disability, or dies, the option rights granted can either be
cancelled or modified, as described in item n below.

13.9 Summary of relevant information aiming at a broader understanding of data
presented under items 13.6 through 13.8 above, as well as an explanation of the pricing
method used for stock and option values

a. Pricing model
In pricing the equity component cost of the plan the applicable volatility, risk-free rates and stock prices
were determined for each plan, based on valuations of 6.6 times EBITDA, less net debt in the plan
period. The Black-Sholes-Merton Model was used to calculate the fair values.

149

The Company classified the plans granted in 2009 as compound instruments, as they include a debt
component (right/possibility of receiving payment in cash if there is no public offer) and a capital
component (right/possibility of receiving payment by an equity instrument in the event of a public offer)
in which the settlement choice is beyond the control of the Company and the beneficiary. Calculation of
the fair value of the debt amount took into account how much the Company would disburse, the current
value, according to the EBITDA multiple mentioned above, weighted by the probability of the occurrence
of a public share offer. The resulting amount is recorded in long-term liabilities. The public offer took
place on April 14, 2010, and there is therefore no debt amount as from that date.
The plans granted from 2010 onwards were classified as equity instruments, which the weighted average
fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model using as premises: (a)
weighted average share price, (b) exercise price, (c) volatility, (d) dividend yield, (e) expected option life
and (f) annual risk-free interest rate.
The equity portion is priced only at the grant date and the fair value is not remeasured on every reporting
date. The portions of equity and debt are appropriated plan by plan, taking into consideration the
respective lock up periods (period in which shares are blocked for trading), based on management's best
estimate as to their end dates.

b. Data and assumptions used in the pricing model

employee turnover index

The index of employee turnover (churn) in financial years ending in 2011, 2010 and 2009 was 5.5%,
5.9% and 4.8%, respectively, considering the employees allocated in the Industrial Services division.
The turnover rate of professionals who assemble and disassemble equipment is significantly higher than
the Company average, and reached 6.6% in 2011. This is a consequence of the short-term employment
contracts signed to meet the fluctuation in demand for the Industrial Services division. Excluding this
effect, the turnover rate in 2011, 2010 and 2009 would be 3.6%, 4.3% and 3.4% respectively.

d.

Description of Company employee remuneration policies

a.

Salary and variable remuneration policy

The Company believes one of its key competitive advantages is the quality of its skilled labor. The
Company has developed, over the years, a human resources development culture based on achievement,
employee participation and transparency. The Company also has profit sharing programs and offer
opportunities for professional development. The Company believes this culture promotes the loyalty,
engagement and enthusiasm of the employees, which leads to a historically low rate of substitution of
skilled labor (turnover) and increases our ability to provide quality services to our customers.
The Companys compensation policy includes the payment of salaries consistent with those in the market.
Additionally, the Company offers the Profit Sharing Program to all its employees.

b.

per share paid by the Company as from the stock option date. On April 20, 2012, according to the
resolution of the General Meeting held on that date, the criterion for fixing the exercise price of the
options that have as a counterpart the acquisition of shares by its beneficiary was changed and was
defined as the equity value of the shares on the last day of the subsequent fiscal year. This change does
not affect the options granted prior to that General Meeting and the new criterion does not apply to
options granted that have no counterpart of the acquisition of shares by the beneficiary, which continues
to be applied the criterion of market price, described above.
For the 1/2010 Program, the exercise price of the options will be based on the value of the shares issued
at the Companys Initial Public Offering (R$11.50), monetarily adjusted by the inflation according to the
IPCA, deducting the value of dividends and interest on equity per share paid by the Company as from the
stock option date. Regarding the 1/2011 Program, the exercise price of the options will be (i) the average
share price acquired according to brokerage invoice sent by the beneficiary to the Board of Directors or
Human Resources Committee of the Company (R$ 19.28), (ii) monetarily adjusted by the inflation
according to the IPCA, disclosed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), or by
another index determined by the Board of Directors or committee, according to the case, from the date of
conclusion of the stock option agreement until the date the option is exercised, (iii) deducting the value of
dividends and interest on equity per share paid by the Company as from the stock option date.
The price of the common shares to be acquired by the beneficiaries through the exercise of options shall
be set by our Board of Directors or committee, based on the average trading price of our shares on the
BM&FBOVESPA, weighted by the trading volume in the month or two months prior to the grant, adjusted
for inflation using the IPCA, less any dividends and interest on equity per share paid by us as of the grant
date. Exceptionally for the first grant, the exercise price of the options will be based on the IPO issue
price (R$11.50), adjusted for inflation using the IPCA, less any dividends and interest on equity per share
paid by us as of the date of grant.
The options granted under this plan will be subject to vesting periods of up to 72 months for the
conversion of options into shares.

15.6 Significant Changes in the shareholdings of Members of the Control Group and
directors of the Company in the last 3 financial years

Increases of Capital of the Company and Staldzene


Shareholders of the Company and Staldzene approved on March 12, 2010 an increase in the capital of
both companies worth R$ 323.8 thousand through the issue of 153,690 shares by the Company and
24,809,032 shares of Staldzene Empreendimentos e Participaes S.A. (Staldzene). The increase was
approved due to the exercise of options to purchase shares granted under the "Special Plan ex-CEO". The
increase in the share capital of the company was fully subscribed by Staldzene, while the increase in the
share capital of Staldzene was fully subscribed by the recipient of the "Special Plan ex-CEO".

Corporate rearrangements involving Staldzene and Nacht Participaes


On March 18, 2010, Staldzenes shareholders, the Companys controlling shareholder, ratified the
reduction of the share capital of that Company, which was approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting
held on December 4, 2009. The reduction was of R$13.3 million, with the distribution of 6,307,457 shares
of the Company to Staldzenes shareholders, disproportionately distributed to the participation held by
those shareholders.
Also on March 18, 2010 shareholders of Nacht Participaes S.A. (Nacht Participaes), controlling
shareholder of Staldzene, ratified the reduction of the share capital of that Company approved at the
Extraordinary General Meeting held on December 4, 2009. The reduction was of R$13.3 million, with the
distribution of 6,307,457 shares of the Company to Nachts shareholders, disproportionately distributed to
the participation held by those shareholders.
On September 30, 2010, Staldzene had its share capital decreased after capitalizing intermediate profits
and part of the legal reserve. The share capital reduction occured by transferring a certain quantity of Mills
shares, which are currently owned by Staldzene, to Staldzenes shareholders. Staldzene participation in the
Companys total and voting capital was reduced in 6.7%, from 46.0% to 39.3%.
On November 30, 2010, Staldzene was extinguished due to a corporate restructuring. Nacht merged
Staldzene, succeeding it in all its rights and obligations. As a result, Nacht becomes Mills direct controlling
shareholder with 39.3% of the total and voting capital stock.
In February 2011, Nacht Participaes reduced its capital stock through the delivery of shares issued by
the Company currently held by Nacht to some of its shareholders, the transaction was completed on April
18, 2011. In order to regulate the right to vote and the transfer of shares of Nacht Participaes and the
Company, the shareholders of Nacht Participaes celebrated a Shareholders Agreement, on February 11,
2011, date prior to its capital reduction and thus including all of its former shareholders. The capital
reduction and the execution of the Shareholders Agreement have not led to any change in management
structure or in control of the company, which continues to be owned by the Familia Nacht (Nacht Family),
in the same proportion of 39% detained earlier. Additionally, this operation did not involve change in
number of shares or in the value of total capital of the Company.

Primary offering and secondary distribution of shares

163

The Company with some of its shareholders promoted primary public offering of 37,037,037 shares issued
by the Company and secondary public offering of 14,814,815 shares held by selling shareholders. The
Offer Shares have been traded on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA since April 16, 2010.
On May 14, 2010, the leading coordinator of the public offer fully exercised the option of placing
additional 7,777,777 common shares owned by certain selling shareholders. The shares subject to such
allotment will be traded on the Novo Mercado segment of BM&FBOVESPA on May 19, 2010. There was no
increase in the capital of the Company due to the exercise of the over-allotment option.

Transfer of ownership from controlling shareholder


The Company was informed, on March 14, 2012, by Snow Petrel S.L., a company headquartered in
Barcelona, Spain, at Calle Johann Sebastian Bach 20, 3rd floor, and registered with the CNPJ/MF under

par value issued by Mills held by Jeroboam Investments LLC (Jeroboam) for Snow Petrel, due to the
dissolution and consequent extinction of its wholly owned subsidiary Jeroboam. Therefore, Snow Petrel
came to hold 19,233,281 (nineteen million, two hundred thirty-three thousand, two hundred eighty-one)
shares of Mills, representing 15.3% of its capital stock.
Snow Petrel also reported that: (a) it does not hold, directly or indirectly, including through a person
connected to it, other shares issued by the Company, subscription warrants or convertible debentures,
subscription rights or an option to purchase shares issued by the Company; (b) due to the transfer of the
shares, Snow Petrel will succeed Jeroboam as a party to the Nacht Participaes S.A. Shareholders
Agreement executed on February 11, 2011; (c) Snow Petrel, as was Jeroboam until its extinction, is
controlled by Sr. Nicolas Nacht; (d) Snow Petrel intends to continue to hold shared control of the
Company, this being the main objective of its participation; and (e) since all of the capital of Jeroboam
was already held by Snow Petrel, the transfer discussed in this notice does not impact, in any way, control
of the Company.

Controlling shareholder ownership reduction


The Company was informed, on July 2012, by Snow Petrel S.L, of the sale of 1,505,001 shares of the
Company, reducing it ownership from 15.24% to 14.05% of its capital stock.

subscription rights, options for the purchase of shares, nor any securities that are representative or
convertible into shares and any contract that may result into the exercise of voting rights based on shares
issued by Mills.
According to the notice, Snow Petrel and Nacht Participaes S.A., parties of Nacht Participaes S.A.
Shareholders Agreement executed on February 11, 2011, having as its object, among other terms, Mills

rights, etc.) may be modified by decisions made in general shareholders meetings, by simple or qualified
majority of the Company's shareholders, depending on the nature of the matter to be resolved.
