Report on the review of the Interim Financial Information


To the Shareholders and Management of
Cielo S.A.
Barueri-SP

Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information
of Cielo S.A. (Company), included in the Interim Financial Information Form (ITR) for the
quarter ended June 30, 2016, which comprise the balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and related
statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six month periods then ended
and the changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended,
including the explanatory notes.
Company's Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the individual
and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) - Demonstrao
Intermediria and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of such information in accordance with
the standards issued by Brazilian Securities Commission (CVM), applicable to the preparation
of Interim Financial Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this
interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of the review
We conducted our review in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Review
of Interim Financial Information (NBC TR 2410 - Reviso de Informaes Intermedirias
Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information
Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial
information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and
consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all
significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, we do not express an audit
opinion.

firma-membro da rede KPMG de firmas-membro independentes e

entidade sua.

firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated

Conclusion on the interim financial information


Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the ITR
referred to above has not been prepared in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21(R1)
and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information and presented in
accordance with the standards issued by CVM.
Other matters
Interim statements of value added
We have also reviewed the individual and consolidated interim statements of value added
(DVA), for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, which were prepared under Companys
Management responsibility, the presentation of which is required by the standards issued by
CVM applicable to the preparation of Interim Financial Information (ITR), and is considered as
supplemental information for IFRS, which does not require the presentation of a DVA. These
statements were subject to the same review procedures described above and, based on our
review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they have not been
prepared, in all material respects consistently with individual and consolidated interim financial
information taken as a whole.

Significant accounting practices


Statement of compliance, basis of preparation and presentation
The individual (Company) and consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in
accordance with the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting and other
International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRSs issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board - IASB and accounting practices adopted in Brazil which includes those
established in the Brazilian Corporate Law, as well as the technical pronouncements,
instructions and interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee ("CPC")
and approved by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ("CVM").
The individual and consolidated interim financial information is presented in Brazilian reais
(R$), which is the Companys functional and presentation currency, and has been prepared

based on the historical cost, unless otherwise stated.


The accounting policies applied in preparing the individual and consolidated interim financial
information are the same as those used in the previous year, disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial
Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2015,
approved and published on February 1, 2016 and made available on the website of CVM.
Therefore, the interim accounting information should be read together with the financial
statements as of December 31, 2015.

2.2

Main judgements, estimates and accounting assumptions


The preparation of individual and consolidated interim financial information requires the
Companys and its subsidiaries Management to make estimates that affect certain assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
for the period. Significant assets and liabilities subject to these estimates include the residual
value of property and equipment and intangible assets, allowance for doubtful accounts (on
trade accounts receivable from lease of POS equipment), deferred income tax and social
contribution assets, impairment of goodwill, provision for risks and determining the fair value
of financial instruments. Since Managements judgment involves making estimates concerning
the probability of occurrence of future events, actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company and its subsidiaries review estimates and assumptions at least annually.

2.3

Regulations issued by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN)


Due to Law 12865, published on October 9, 2013, the Company is subject to regulations issued
by the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), according to guidelines established by the National
Monetary Council (CMN), and regulations issued by the Central Bank itself. Therefore, the
Company is subject to authorization of the Central Bank to operate, and must comply with the
rules covering, among others, risk management, minimum equity levels and compliance with
requirements similar to those of a Financial Institution. Management is taking the necessary
steps and making adjustments to be in full compliance with the latest regulations as of the
beginning from the granting of authorization by the BACEN.
In addition to the individual and consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with
IFRSs and the accounting practices adopted in Brazil, the Company will be subject to disclose,
as from the authorization by the regulatory agency, the financial information prepared in
accordance with the set of criteria, procedures and accounting rules embodied in the Chart of
Accounts for Institutions of the Brazilian Financial System (COSIF), which differs from some
practices currently adopted and whose effects may be different.
The Company has filed the authorization request protocol for Payment Institution in 2014 and,
on June 29, 2016, the Company was notified by BACEN to provide documentation for the 2nd
stage of the authorization process.

2.4

New and revised standards and interpretations issued and not yet adopted
The new IFRSs issued by the IASB and not yet effective are:

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments - introduces new requirements for classification, mensurement


and derecognition of financial assets and liabilities (effective for anual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2018). The Company does not expect significant effects of adopting this
standard on the Financial Statements.

IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers - introduces new requirements to recognize
revenue from sales of goods and services (effective for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2018). The Company does not expect significant effects of adopting this standard on
the Financial Statements.

IFRS 16 - Leases - Requires recognition of operating leases in the same formats of finance
leases (effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019). The Company is
evaluating the effects of adopting this standard on the Financial Statements.

Consolidated interim financial information


The consolidated interim financial information includes the interim financial information of the
Company and its subsidiaries. When necessary, the subsidiaries interim financial information is
adjusted to conform their accounting policies to those set by the Group.
For subsidiaries, the full consolidation concept was applied, intended for investments in
subsidiaries and entailing the recognition of all assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the
parent, thus requiring the recognition of noncontrolling interests.
In the Companys individual interim financial information, the interim financial information on
subsidiaries, joint ventures and associate is accounted for under the equity method.

Deferred income tax and social contribution arise from temporary differences caused mainly by
temporarily non-deductible provisions, and are classified in noncurrent assets and noncurrent
liabilities.

Three- and Six-month Periods ended June 30, 2016 and Report on Review of Interim

The consolidation of the interim financial information, for direct subsidiaries Multidisplay,
Braspag and Cielo USA, as well as for indirect subsidiaries M4Produtos and Me-S, was based
on the financial information as at May 31, 2016 to calculate the investments as at June
30, 2016. Accordingly, the share of profit (loss) of investees refers to the six-month period
ended May 31, 2016.
The Company has investments in foreign subsidiaries whose interim financial information was
originally prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States (U.S. GAAP). No adjustments are made to the interim financial information of foreign
subsidiaries, given that there are no significant differences in relation to Brazilian accounting
practices.

investments in the individual statement of financial position and the goodwill arising on the
acquisition of investments in joint ventures and associate in the consolidated statement of

Prepayment of receivables from card-issuing banks


The Company receives in advance receivables from card-issuing banks for transactions made by
cardholders, which will be transferred to merchants at the agreed settlement date. These
prepayments have an average collection period of approximately three business days and the
weighted average rate of financial charges as at June 30, 2016 is 101.79% of the DI - Interbank
Deposit rate (101.99% of the DI as at December 31, 2015).
The amounts due by credit cardholders through card-issuing banks and the amounts to be
transferred to merchants are recorded in memorandum accounts.
In the Parent Company and Consolidated, the balances of prepayment of receivables with card
issuers are R$183,000 as at June 30, 2016 and R$1,269,190 as at December 31, 2015.

(a)

Transactions pending transfer - Transactions pending transfer refer to the difference between the amounts received
from cardholders relating to transactions made by cardholders and the amounts to be transferred to merchants. In
general, the settlement term for credit card issuers with the Company is 28 days, while the Companys average
settlement term with merchants is 30 days. Therefore, the balance payable as at June 30, 2016 and December 31,
2015 refers to a float of approximately two days.

(b)

Payables to merchants - Represented by amounts due to merchants by the subsidiary Me-S relating to transactions
captured and processed until the end of the reporting period. Such amounts are settled on the business day following
the date on which transactions are captured.

(c)

Merchant deposits - The subsidiary Me-S requires deposits from customers in order to hedge against the potential risk
of complaints from credit card holders due to fraud in the transaction or bankruptcy of the merchant.

In addition to the provision of services consisting of the transfer of credit and debit card
transaction amounts between the card-issuing banks and the merchants, the Company also
guarantees accredited merchants that they will unconditionally receive the amounts of
transactions paid using credit cards. As described in note 27(c), the Company adopts a strategy
to mitigate card-issuing banks credit risk itself against the risk of default by such financial
institutions. Based on the insignificant historical amount of Companys losses due to default
from card-issuing banks and the current credit risks of these financial institutions, the Company
estimates that the fair value of the guarantees provided to merchants is immaterial and,
therefore, is not recognized as a liability.

(ii) The status of such tax lawsuits has not changed in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 when compared with the 2015 Financial Statements
approved and published on February 1, 2016.

Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, the Management of the Company and its subsidiaries
estimates that the actual disbursement of the provision for tax risks will occur within 5 years and
understands that the development of the lawsuits will depend on external factors not under the
Companys control.

Civil lawsuits
Refer basically to collection of transactions made through the Companys system that were not
transferred to merchants in view of noncompliance with clauses of the affiliation contract, and
compensation for losses caused by transactions not transferred at that time.
Based on the opinion of its legal counsel, the management of the Company and its subsidiaries
estimates that the actual disbursement of the mentioned provision for civil risks will occur
within 5 years and understands that the development of the lawsuits will depend on external
factors not under the Companys control.
Additionally, as at June 30, 2016, the Company is a party to public civil lawsuits, most of
them filed by the Public Prosecution Office or professional organizations, whose intention is to
defend collective interests (such as consumers rights and labor rights). Court decisions may
grant rights to groups of people (even without their consent). In many situations, the groups
decision on availing a favorable outcome will only be made after the final decision.

Labor lawsuits
Refer to labor lawsuits that, as at June 30, 2016, included 318 claims against the Company
and 72 against the subsidiaries, totaling 390 claims. Of these claims, 143 were filed by former
employees, and the other remaining 247 claims were filed by subcontractors, some of whom
claiming the recognition of an employment relationship.
The risk of loss on labor claims, when these are started, is assessed as possible. As a general
rule, only after the decisions of the higher or lower courts are issued, the lawsuits are
reclassified to probable or remote loss, depending on the decision and based on the history of
losses on similar lawsuits. In general, labor lawsuits are related to salary equalization, overtime
and effects of annual bonus, rights guaranteed by agreements between the employer and the
labor union, recognition of employment relationship, and pain and suffering.

Extraordinary General Meeting. At year-end, the Company accrues the minimum dividends not
paid during the year up to the limit of the previously mentioned minimum mandatory dividend.

financial position and, based on them, in accordance with the limits provided for in applicable
law, the Board of Directors may approve the distribution of dividends from the profit account.

Financial instruments
The estimated fair values of the Groups financial assets and financial liabilities were
determined using available market inputs and appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
considerable judgment was required to interpret market input and then develop the most
appropriate fair value estimates. Accordingly, estimates presented herein are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that could be realized in the market. The use of different market
methodologies may have a significant effect on the estimated realizable values.
These financial instruments are managed through operating strategies that aim at obtaining
liquidity, profitability and security. The control policy consists of permanent monitoring of the
contracted rates compared to market rates. The Group does not make investments for
speculative purposes, either in derivatives or either in other risk assets.

a. Capital risk management


The Group manages its capital to ensure that its companies can continue as going concerns, and
at the same time maximizes the return to all their stakeholders by optimizing the debt and equity
balance.
The Groups capital structure consists of its equity and net debt (borrowings less cash and cash
equivalents, derivative financial instruments and financial investments).
The subsidiary Cateno complies with a minimum equity, under the BACEN regulations,
corresponding to 2% of the monthly average of the payment transactions within the scope of the
Ourocard Payment Arrangement. There is no requirement for compliance with a minimum
equity for the other Group companies. From the granting of the authorization to operate as a
Payment Institution by the BACEN, the parent company Cielo will be subject to compliance
with the regulations, which include, but not limited to, risk management, minimum equity, and
compliance with requirements similar to those applicable to a Financial Institution.

The Company applies CPC 40 for financial instruments measured at fair value in the statement
of financial position, which requires disclosure of fair value measurements at the following fair
value measurement hierarchy:

c. Credit risk
In Cielos operations of merchant acquiring, the primary risk refers to the possibility of default
of card issuers, which are required to transfer to Cielo the amounts charged relating to
transactions carried out by holders of the cards issued by them, so that Cielo can then transfer
these amounts to its affiliated establishments. This primary risk is substantially mitigated by the
very legal-financial model of transferring amounts adopted by Cielo, since the amounts already
paid by the holders to an issuer that may become in default will always be treated as third-party
funds and, as such, should be transferred to Cielo and, then, from Cielo to the commercial
establishment - the end creditor of the transaction.
Cielos model of transferring amounts substantially mitigates the risk of default of the card
issuers, also remaining a residual risk to Cielo relating to the possible default of cardholders to
the issuer in a situation of default. This residual risk may or may not exist for Cielo depending
on the risk/guarantee model adopted by the card Brand on its operation with the card issuers and
acquirers.
Each branch has its own guarantee system, which is specified in its regulations. Considering the
variation of the guarantee model and the risk level of the accrediting entities, the Company
assesses and manages such risks according to the model of each brand, requiring or waiving the
provision of guarantees.
Note that even with this model of hedging provided by the Brand, in any situation of default of
any card issuer, Cielo will always resort primarily to its legal-financial model of transferring
amounts for the prompt recovery of amounts received or that come to be received from
cardholders by the card issuer.

Cielo S.A.
Individual and Consolidated Interim Financial Information for the
Three- and Six-month Periods ended June 30, 2016 and Report on Review of Interim

The Company has rights subject to credit risk with financial institutions recorded in line items
of cash and cash equivalents, financial investments, derivative financial instruments and
receivables from issuing banks, totaling R$8,910,895 in the Parent Company and
R$11,064,560 in Consolidated.

d. Fraud risk
The Company uses an antifraud system to monitor transactions with credit and debit cards,
which detects and identifies suspected fraud at the time of the authorization and sends an alert
message to the card-issuing bank for it to contact the cardholder.

e. Transactions with derivative financial instruments


Policy on the use of derivatives
According to the internal policy, the Companys finance income (costs) must arise from the
generation of cash from its activities rather than from gains in the financial market.
Accordingly, it considers that derivatives should only be used to hedge against potential
exposures arising from the risks to which it is subject, without speculative purposes. The
offsetting entry to a derivative transaction should be an unhedged asset or liability.
The criterion adopted for definition of the notional value of the derivatives is linked to the
amount of the debt and/or assets denominated in foreign currency.

f. Hedges of net investments in foreign operations


The Company, after the funds raised on the issuance of bonds in November 2012 and based on
the Interpretation 16 of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee - IFRIC
(technical interpretation ICPC 06 - Hedge of Net Investments in Foreign Operations), issued in
July 2008, and on standard IAS 39 (technical pronouncement CPC 38 - Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement), elected to designate as hedge for the investment in Cielo USA,
in the amount of US$311,981 thousand, the ten-year bonds held by the Company, in the
amount of US$470,000 thousand to hedge against the risk of foreign currency fluctuations. The
value of the designated financial instrument, i.e., the ten-year bonds, is increased by the income
tax and social contribution gross-up (rate of 34% under Brazilian applicable legislation) for
purposes of analysis of the hedge accounting effectiveness.
The net investment hedge effects were accounted for in accordance with CPC 38 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Accordingly, the Company formally
designated the transactions by documenting the: (i) purpose of the hedge; (ii) type of the hedge;
(iii) nature of the hedged risk; (iv) identification of the hedged item; (v) identification of the
hedging instrument; (vi) demonstration of the relationship between the hedge and the hedged
item (retrospective effectiveness test); and (vii) prospective demonstration of effectiveness.
The adoption of the effectiveness tests confirmed the effectiveness of the financial instrument;
accordingly, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, there was no ineffectiveness
recognized in profit or loss from net investment hedges in Cielo USA; consequently, gains or
losses on these transactions were fully recognized in the Companys equity.

g. Fair value hedge


The Company, upon contracting of Swap Financial Instrument based on Technical
Pronouncement CPC 38 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement) corresponding
to the International Accounting Standard 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement), designated it as hedging instrument for the borrowing from Bank of TokyoMitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. in the amount of US$313,641 thousand, equivalent to R$1,000,000
maturing on 12/19/2016, to hedge against the risk of foreign currency fluctuations and exposure
to Libor interest rates.
As at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the individual and consolidated position of

Fair value
(market)

The terms of the borrowing and swap agreements were entered into so that the comparison
between the swaps long position (Companys accounts receivable) and the borrowing balance
(Companys accounts payable), both adjusted at fair value, does not present losses or gains
deriving from contracted foreign exchange and interest rate variation for hedged item.
Accordingly, the Company remains exposed only to swaps short position, which has notional
value in reais in the amount of R$1,000,000 remunerated at 99.4% of the daily average interest
rate of the DI - Interbank Deposits.
In order to document the adopted designation strategy and the effectiveness of the derivative
financial instrument, the Company used the hypothetical derivative method, which is based on a
comparison of change in the fair value of a hypothetical derivative with terms identical to the
critical terms of the variable-rate liability, and this change in the fair value is considered a
representation of the present value of the cumulative change in the future cash flow expected for
the hedged liability. Accordingly, gains and losses on the hedging instrument and the hedged
item are recognized at fair value in profit or loss for the period in which they arise.
The method used by the Company to determine the market value consists in calculating the
future value based on contracted conditions and determine the present value based on market
curves extracted from BM&F BOVESPA.
As at June 30, 2016, the hedging relationships established by the Company were effective,
according to prospective tests conducted. Thus, no reversal for hedge accounting ineffectiveness
was recognized.

h. Foreign exchange rate risk


The Group conducts a few transactions in foreign currency, mainly represented by transactions
performed by foreign credit card holders in merchants in Brazil. In addition, on August 31,
2012, the Company acquired the control of Me-S through its holding Cielo USA, both
headquartered in the United States of America, whose transactions are conducted in US dlar
(functional currency).
The exposures to foreign exchange rate risks are managed in accordance with the criteria set by
the policies approved using currency futures contracts.
As at June 30, 2016, the net exposure to foreign exchange rate risk, in thousands of US
dollars, is as follows:

The Company enters into forward exchange transactions for US dollars to hedge against
fluctuations in exchange rates, which reduces significantly potential currency risks.

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis


The Group is mainly exposed to US dollar fluctuations.
Sensitivity analysis includes only monetary items outstanding and denominated in foreign
currency and adjusts translation at the end of each reporting period for a change of 10%, 25%
and 50% in exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes borrowings from third parties when
they are denominated in a currency different from that of the creditor or debtor. As at June
30, 2016, estimating the increase or decrease by 10%, 25% and 50% in exchange rates, there
would be an increase or decrease in profit or loss and equity, in thousands of Brazilian reais
(R$), as follows:

i. Interest rate risk on financial investments


The Companys results of operations are subject to significant fluctuations resulting from
financial investments with floating interest rates. Pursuant to its financial policies, the Company
invests its funds in prime banks. The Company operates with financial instruments within the
limits of approval established by Management.

j. Liquidity risk
The Group manages the liquidity risk by maintaining proper reserves, bank and other credit
facilities to raise new borrowings that it considers appropriate, based on the continuous
monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows, and the combination of the maturity profiles of
financial assets and financial liabilities.

k. Interest rate sensitivity analysis - Financial investments and borrowings


Income from financial assets and interest arising from the Company's borrowings are mainly
affected by variations in DI rate (source: Cetip). As at June 30, 2016, the balances exposed to
variations in DI rate are R$77,793 for Parent Company and R$1,033,516 for Consolidated
referring to financial investments and R$7,658,907 for Parent Company and Consolidated
referring to borrowings. Estimating an increase or a decrease of 10%, 25% and 50% in interest
rates would increase or decrease revenues or expenses as follows:

Segment information
Information by operating segments is presented consistently with the internal reports provided
to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker - CODM
As of the association closing process with BB Elo Cartes, when Cateno was established on
February 27, 2015, with operating activities that refer substantially to managing payment
accounts within the scope of the Ourocard Payment Arrangement, the Group now holds two
types of business: (i) service provision related to capturing and processing of credit and debit
card transactions, other means of payment, accreditation of merchants and related services, and
(ii) management of transactions arising from credit and debit card transactions, among which
issuing cards, managing payment accounts, support to management and control of security in
transactions, payments of fees to the brands and payment arrangements, and other services
related to managing payment accounts.
Therefore, as of 2015, Management started separately monitoring the operating profit or loss
of its business units in order to make decisions on allocation of resources and performance
evaluation. Performance of segments is assessed based on several metrics, such as net revenue,
profit before taxes, profit for the year, among others that in many cases are measured differently
from operating profit or loss in the consolidated interim financial information. Additionally,
financial information presented in the segment performance does not correspond to the profit or
loss of any Groups company individually.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 2Q16


COMPARISON FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND MARCH 31, 2016

Cielos consolidated net revenue totaled R$3,069.0 million in 2Q16, increased by R$21.1 million or 0.7%,
compared to R$3,047.9 million in 1Q16. Such growth derives from increased revenue from subsidiaries due
to ongoing business expansion, partially offset by the average dollar depreciation in the quarter, applied in
the consolidation of foreign investments.

The cost of services provided totaled R$1,516.9 million in 2Q16, increased R$54.0 million, or 3.7%
compared in 1Q16. This increase was mainly due to the following:
(i)

Increase of R$39.9 million related to the subsidiaries M4U and Merchant e-Solutions, due to
ongoing business expansion, chiefly related to an increase of mobile credit sales, partially
reduced by the average dollar depreciation in the quarter, which impacts the costs of foreign
subsidiaries;

(ii)

Increase of R$8.5 million in costs related to the management of the Ourocard Arrangement, such
as cards issuing and management, supplies and call centers, due to ongoing business expansion
of subisidiary Cateno;

(iii)

Net increase of R$5.6 million in costs related to the acquiring business, mostly represented by:
(a) Increase of R$9.5 million in transaction costs, such as capture and processing, telecom
services, call centers, brands fees and expenditures with merchants, basically due to the
increased volume and number of captured transactions in 2Q16; and
(b) Decrease of R$3.9 million in costs related to equipment, chiefly due to reduced maintenance
volumetry and activation of POS terminals compared to the previous quarter.

Operating expenses totaled R$444.2 million in 2Q16, increased R$19.3 million or 4.5%, compared in 1Q16.
The increase is chiefly due to the following factors:
Personnel Expenses Personnel expenses increased R$8.7 million or 6.9%, to R$135.2 million in 2Q16,
compared to R$126.5 million in 1Q16. This increase is chiefly due to higher expenditures related to
executives retirement and severance pay in 2Q16.
General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses, excluding depreciation,
decreased R$5.0 million or 3.9%, to R$123.0 million in 2Q16, compared to R$128.0 million in 1Q16. The
decrease is basically due to the result of several initiatives to streamline administrative expenses at the
Company, partially offset by expenses with business partners (partnership fees) in subsidiary Me-S and
other measures to accredit and activate parent companys clients.

Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expenses increased R$24.5 million or 40.2%, to
R$85.6 million in 2Q16, compared to R$61.0 million in 1Q16. The increase is chiefly due to the scheduling
of expenditures related to institutional campaigns advertisements and higher expenses with marketing actions
executed with issuing banks by parent company in 2Q16, in the Q-o-Q comparison.
Equity Interest The equity interest result increased R$0.5 million to R$2.5 million in revenues in 2Q16,
compared to R$2.0 million in revenues in 1Q16. The increase is related to higher profits from the jointlyowned subsidiary Orizon, partially decreased by losses in Stelo associated company in 2Q16.
Other Net Operating Expenses Other net operating expenses decreased by R$8.3 million or 8.9%, to
R$84.6 million in 2Q16, compared to R$92.9 million in 1Q16. The decrease is chiefly due to the recognition
of a provision for impairment in investments and goodwill in Stelo no 1Q16, partially offset by higher
expectations of losses with POS terminals and bad debts.

The financial income totaled R$351.8 million in 2Q16, up 3.1% or R$10.5 million. The main variations are
the following:
Financial Revenues Financial revenues decreased R$17.5 million or 29.8%, to R$41.3 million in 2Q16,
compared to R$58.8 million in 1Q16. The reduction is chiefly related to the decrease in average balance of
financial investments in 2Q16 when compared to the previous quarter, due to the use of available funds to
pay dividends in March 2016, as well as the payment of the first tranche of public debentures in April 2016.
Financial Expenses Financial expenses decreased R$48.8 million or 14.4%, to R$290.0 million in 2Q16,
compared to R$338.8 million in 1Q16. The reduction is chiefly due to the decrease in average indebtedness
with third parties, when compared to the previous quarter.
Purchase of receivables accounting results Accounting revenue from purchase of receivables, net of
funding with third parties and the taxes on financial revenues decreased R$19.8 million or 3.2%, to R$603.6
million in 2Q16, compared to R$623.4 million in 1Q16. The decrease is primarily related to higher funding
volume with third parties to finance the purchase of receivables (ARV), as well as the reduction of the
average term of operations, in spite of product ongoing business expansion.

COMPARISON FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016 AND 2015

Cielos consolidated net revenue totaled R$3,069.0 million in 2Q16, increased 9.8% or R$273.2 million,
compared to R$2,795.8 million in 2Q15. The increase in net revenue is chiefly related to the ongoing
business expansion of Cielo, including revenues from Ourocard Arrangement in Cateno, M4Us mobile
credit sales and the dollar appreciation effect over the revenues in U.S. from subsidiary Me-S, partially
impacted by a decrease of gross MDR of the parent company.

The cost of services provided totaled R$1,516.9 million in 2Q16, increased R$214.1 million or 16.4%,
compared in R$1,302.8 million year-on-year. The increase was chiefly due to the following:
(i)

Increase of R$149.9 million related to the subsidiaries Merchant e-Solutions, due to the average
dollar appreciation in the quarter and ongoing business expansion; and M4U, due to the increase
of mobile credit sales;

(ii)

Increase of R$26.4 million related to the management of the Ourocard Arrangement, such as
brands fees, supplies, cards issuing and management, due to ongoing business expansion of
subsidiary Cateno;

(iii)

Net increase of R$37.8 million in the costs related to the acquiring business, mostly represented
by:
(a) Increase of R$25.4 million in transaction costs, such as capture and processing, telecom
services, call centers, brands fees and expenditures with merchants, chiefly due to the
increased volume and number of transactions, when compared to the same quarter of the prior
period;
(b) Increase of R$7.3 million related to equipment costs, including installation, uninstallation,
POS terminals maintenance and activation, chiefly due to higher volumetry, when compared
to 2Q15; and
(c) Increase of R$5.1 million in other costs related to acquiring activities, as well as the hiring of
professional services related to strategic projects, operational systems support and
maintenance.

Operating expenses totaled R$444.2 million in 2Q16, increased R$81.0 million or 22.3%, compared to
R$363.2 million in 2Q15. The main variations are described below:
Personnel Expenses Personnel expenses increased R$19.6 million or 17.0%, to R$135.2 million in 2Q16,
compared to R$115.6 million in 2Q15. Such increase is mainly due to higher expenditures related to
executives retirement and severance pay in 2Q16, the increase in personnel expenses at subsidiaries Cateno
and Me-S, this last one as a result of the average dollar appreciation in the quarter, as well as the 8.2%
average adjustment over wages established in Collective Agreement in 3Q15 and related effects on the
parent companys charges.
General and Administrative Expenses - General and administrative expenses, excluding depreciation,
increased R$15.8 million or 14.7%, to R$123.0 million in 2Q16, compared to R$107.2 million in 2Q15. The
increase is mainly related to the expenses with business partners ("partnership fees") in subsidiary Merchant
e-Solutions, also impacted by the average dollar appreciation in the quarter, as well as expenditures related to
the accreditation and activation of Cielos clients.
Sales and Marketing Expenses Sales and marketing expenses increased R$15.3 million or 21.7%, to
R$85.6 million in 2Q16, compared to R$70.3 million in 2Q15. The increase is substantially related to higher
expenses incurred for marketing activities held in conjunction with issuing banks by parent company in
2Q16, when compared to same period last year.
Equity Interest The Equity Interest result decreased R$1.1 million or 31.5%, to R$2.5 million in revenues
in 2Q16, compared to R$3.6 million in revenues in 2Q15. The reduction is chiefly due to the loss at Stelo
associated company in 2Q16.
Other Net Operating Expenses Other net operating expenses increased R$25.0 million or 41.9%, to
R$84.6 million in 2Q16, compared to R$59.6 million in 2Q15. This increase is mainly related to higher
provision for losses with POS terminals in 2Q16 and higher provision for civil and labor risks, in the Q-o-Q
comparison.

The financial income totaled R$351.8 million in 2Q16, up R$134.4 million or 61.9% compared to 2Q15,
which presented a figure of R$217.4 million. The main variations are described as follows:
Financial Revenues Financial revenues increased R$17.4 million or 72.7%, to R$41.3 million in 2Q16,
compared to R$23.9 million in 2Q15. The increase is chiefly due to higher average balance of financial
investments held by subsidiary Cateno, due to minimum prudential capital.

Financial Expenses Financial expenses decreased R$11.5 million or 3.8%, to R$290.0 million in 2Q16,
compared to R$301.5 million in 2Q15. The decrease is chiefly due to the lower average indebtedness with
third parties, partially offset by the increase in DI rate and average dollar appreciation in the period when
compared to same period last year.
Purchase of Receivables Accounting Results Accounting revenue from purchase of receivables, net of
funding with third parties and of taxes on financial revenues increased R$110,0 million, to R$603.6 million
in 2Q16, compared to R$493.6 million in 2Q15. The increase is chiefly due to the growth in the financial
volume of purchased receivables, in line with ongoing product expansion; higher average spread in the
quarter (increase in DI rate), reduced funding volume with third parties to finance the purchase of receivables
(ARV), partially offset by the beginning of PIS and COFINS over financial income from the second half of
2015.

EBITDA totaled R$1,349.0 million in 2Q16, down 0.5% compared to 2Q15 and down 4.2% over 1Q16, as
follows:

EBITDA consists of net income, plus income tax and social contribution, financial income (expenses) and
depreciation and amortization. It should be noted that, for this calculation, the share of non-controlling
shareholders is added to the parent company's net income.
Management believes that the EBITDA is an important parameter for the investors because it provides
relevant information about our operating results and the profitability.
The EBITDA is not an accounting measurement used in the accounting practices adopted in Brazil. It does
not represent the cash flow for the presented periods and it should not be considered as an alternative to net
income as an operating performance measure or as an alternative to operating cash flow or as a measurement
of liquidity. Additionally, the EBITDA has limitations that may harm its use as an indicator of the
profitability of the Company and its subsidiaries, since costs related to the business are not considered, and
could deeply impact the income, e.g., financial expenses, taxes, depreciation, equity expenses and other
related charges.

RELATIONSHIP WITH INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Under CVM Rule 381/03, we inform that during 1Q16 the Company contracted the independent audit
services of KPMG.
The Companys Policy for contracting independent audit services seeks to ensure that there are no conflicts
of interest, loss of independence or objectivity. These principles, based on internationally accepted
principles, consist of: (a) the auditor should not audit his own work, (b) the auditor should not exercise
management positions at his client, and (c) the auditor should not foster the interests of the client.
Cielo declares that the independent auditors has supplied it with services not related to external audit,
consisting of (i) review of sustainability report and greenhouse gases inventory and (ii) issuance of
international certificate ISAE-3402, for the subsidiary Merchant e-Solutions. Both contracts met the
corporate governance requirements of the company, under which any extraordinary engagement of
independent audit that audits the financial directly or indirectly statements need first be reviewed by the
Audit Committee and authorized by the Board of Directors. The contracts values representing 13.0% of
aggregated costs of audit fees of Cielo and its subsidiaries Cateno, Cielo USA and Merchant e-Solutions and
associated Stelos financial statements.
Performance reporting information on EBITDA, financial volume and number of transactions, discount
rates, industry and sector information, net revenue additions, number of employees, total investments, and
managerial revenue was not reviewed by the independent auditors.
