"A year ago we were announcing the closing of 2014 with the
perspective of another period of robust investments and continued
growth in 2015, despite the perspective of adverse macroeconomic
conditions. In an increasingly challenging environment, Ultrapar
could once again prove the resilience of its business model
benefiting from its large operational scale and from the
differentiation capacity in its businesses. In 2015, we have
continued to grow, create value and completed our investment plan
of R$ 1.4 billion. We also welcomed
new members to the management team, strengthening even more our
corporate governance and Ultra itself. We have bigger challenges
ahead in the macroeconomic environment, but we remain confident in
the execution of our strategy."
