Comments on EBITDA

EBITDA is a non accounting measurement elaborated by Minerva’s administration, calculated accordingly to the provisions of the Official Letter CVM nº 01/2006, consisting of the net profit (loss) plus income tax and social contribution, net financial result, net non-operational result, depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA is used as a performance measure by the Company’s administration and it is not a measure adopted either by Brazilian nor American Accounting Practices, it does not represent the cash flow of the presented periods and should not be considered a substitute of net profit, as a operational performance indicator of Minerva, as substitute of the cash flow, nor as liquidity indicator.

Minerva’s administration believes that the EBITDA is a practical measure to assess its operational performance and to allow a comparison with other companies of the same segment. However, we highlight that the EBITDA is not a measure established accordingly to the Brazilian Accounting Principles (Legislação Societária or BR GAAP) or to the North-American Accounting Principles (US GAAP) and can be defined and calculated differently by other companies.
