Comments on EBITDA

São Martinho defines EBITDA as its net income, adjusted for the Company’s financial income (expenses), net, income tax and social contribution, income (loss) from discontinued operations, depreciation and amortization and non-operating income (expenses), net. In calculating EBITDA, the Company does not adjust for its proportionate share of the results on derivative financial instruments to protect against sugar and ethanol price fluctuation risk. However, in calculating EBITDA, the Company has adjusted EBITDA for income (loss) from discontinued operations and non-operating income (expenses), net.

From time to time, São Martinho discloses so-called non-GAAP financial measures, primarily EBITDA. EBITDA means income before net financial expenses, income and social contribution taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not Brazilian or the U.S. GAAP measurement, does not represent cash flows for the periods presented and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of São Martinho’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows as an indicator of liquidity. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning and São Martinho’s definition of EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA as used by other companies.

Although the EBITDA does not provide, according to the Brazilian Accounting Principles (BR GAAP) or the U.S. Accounting Principles (US GAAP), measures of the operational cash flows, São Martinho management uses EBITDA to measure its operating performance. Additionally, the Company management believes that disclosure of EBITDA can provide useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of the Company’s operating performance and its comparison to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries.
