UNIPAR ANNOUNCES 3Q09 RESULTS
São Paulo, November 13, 2009 – UNIPAR - União de Indústrias Petroquímicas S.A. - (BOVESPA: UNIP3, UNIP5
and UNIP6), one of the leading Brazilian petrochemical groups, with consolidated gross revenues of R$ 6.6
billion in 2008, announces today its earnings release for the third quarter and nine months of 2009 (3Q09 and
9M09, respectively). Unless otherwise stated, all financial and operating data discussed in this announcement
are presented pursuant to the Brazilian Corporate Law and all comparisons are with the second quarter of
2009 (2Q09) and the nine months of 2008 (9M08).
UNIPAR’s 3Q09 results were strongly influenced by the recovery of domestic demand and the increase in
margins throughout the entire petrochemical chain, which generated EBITDA of R$258.7 million, a
substantial 40% improvement over the R$185 million recorded in the previous quarter, when the
domestic market began to show signs of improvement.
UNIPAR posted 3Q09 net income of R$45.1 million, versus R$96 million in the previous quarter, when the
positive impact of the dollar devaluation on consolidated dollar-denominated debt was greater.
In the first nine months, net income totaled R$65.6 million, reversing the hefty R$101.9 million net loss
reported in the same period last year. However, it is worth remembering that the nine-month year-on-
year comparison may be distorted by the constitution of Quattor Participações and the effects of its
consolidation on the Company’s accounts as of June 2008.
Consolidated EBITDA came to R$520.4 million in the 9M09, 27% up year-on-year.
It is worth noting that the domestic petrochemical industry was marked by two highly distinct periods in
2009: (i) a disappointing first quarter in terms of operating and financial performance, reflecting the
slump in industrial activity and reduced demand for petrochemical products (sale of inventories and high
export volume); (ii) a market rebound as of the second quarter, with domestic demand showing signs of
recovery and margins returning to healthy pre-crisis levels.
Also in 3Q09, a portion of the cracker’s new ethylene production capacity at the ABC Petrochemical
Complex came on-stream, adding 100,000t p.a. This investment, together with the new polyethylene unit
in the same complex (with a nominal capacity of 250,000 t p.a.), is part of the R$ 2.3 billion capacity
expansion program of UNIPAR’s subsidiaries, notably the Quattor companies.

The global petrochemical scenario was strongly influenced by the strength of the Chinese economy in the third
quarter, with Chinese commodity imports, including petrochemicals, remaining high throughout.
Petrochemical demand in the U.S. and Europe, despite showing signs of a recovery, remained modest. On the
other hand, resin exports to China maintained a healthy pace which, together with the supply restrictions
(shutdowns and scheduled stoppages), especially in Europe, optimized the inventories and capacity use of the
main producers.
As a result, the global petrochemical industry still found room for price adjustments and corrections, and the
margins of the leading resins continued to recover from the historic lows in the months immediately following
the eruption of the financial crisis at the end of 2008.
It is also worth noting that margins throughout the entire petrochemical chain continued to be pressured by
the upturn in international oil prices, in turn fueled by the improved performance of the world’s financial

markets and the positive indicators regarding the recovery pace of the U.S. economy.
Brent crude prices averaged US$ 68.6/bbl in 3Q09, 16% up on the US$ 59.2/bbl recorded in the 2Q09.
Naphtha prices (CIF ARA, European market) averaged US$ 598/t in 3Q09, 22% more than in the 2Q09,
following in the wake of international oil prices. The naphtha/Brent price ratio, which had climbed from 6.5 at
the end of 2008 to 8.3 in the 2Q09, moved up even further to 8.7, pointing to a recovery in European
petrochemical activity.
High inventories in the U.S., combined with shrinking demand (electric power and industry), continued to have
a strong impact on the price of natural gas (Mont Belvieu), which broke through the “psychological” barrier of
US$ 3/MM BTU at the end of the quarter, falling to around US$ 2.88/MM BTU.
As for the natural gas derivatives used as petrochemical inputs, average ethane and propane prices
maintained the upturn initiated in the previous quarter, averaging US$ 352/t and US$ 455/t, respectively, 10%
and 19% above their 2Q09 levels. The ethane/natural gas ratio stood at 14, higher than the 12.3 recorded in
2Q09. In addition to indicating a recovery in U.S. petrochemical activity, the improved ratio can be explained
by the enhanced competitiveness of gas-based petrochemicals to the detriment of the heavier liquid
feedstocks (naphtha), which continued to encourage consumption of ethane/propane mixes by local crackers.
Basic petrochemicals recorded an overall quarter-over-quarter upturn, reflecting the recovery in demand and
the supply restrictions, as well as the increase in the main input prices.
In Europe, ethylene and propylene prices remained under pressure throughout the third quarter due to supply
restrictions caused by operational problems in certain crackers and the upturn in naphtha prices. Ethylene
moved up by 25% over the 2Q09, averaging US$ 1,171/t in the period, while propylene increased by an even
heftier 40% to an average US$ 1,008/t. It is worth noting that propylene supply was further jeopardized by the
increased use of light feedstocks by certain crackers.
Despite the above scenario (restricted supply x petrochemical price recovery), European crackers managed to
partially recoup their margins, which had been heavily compressed since the eruption of the financial crisis.
These margins averaged US$ 302/t in 3Q09, substantially higher than the 2Q09 average of US$ 193/t.
In the U.S., the price recovery was more apparent in the propylene segment, primarily due to severely
restricted supply (increased use of light feedstocks by local crackers and reduced output via refinery streams),
which raised average 3Q09 prices to US$ 1,051/t, 42% up on the quarter before. Ethylene prices averaged US$
719/t, a much more modest 3% improvement over the 2Q09.
As a result, U.S. (ethane/propane based) cracker margins averaged US$ 262/t in 3Q09, very close to the
previous three months. It is worth reiterating the greater competitiveness of the U.S. petrochemical industry,
more flexible in terms of raw materials (natural gas x naphtha), in comparison with its European counterpart,
more exposed to the volatility of international oil and naphtha prices.
After reaching historic lows in the opening months of the year, benzene prices continued the upturn begun in
the 2Q09, averaging US$ 940/t, a hefty 54% up on the previous quarter. Product supply restrictions (increased
3Q09 Results

use of light feedstocks by local crackers plus reduced output via refinery streams) combined with a recovery in
demand were responsible for the rally.
As for thermoplastics, domestic demand improved in both the U.S. and Europe and, although still below pre-
crisis levels, helped raise production levels and optimize inventory levels in both markets.
In the polyethylene segment, taking low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as a reference, European prices
averaged US$ 1,500/t in the 3Q09, 24% up on the previous three months, while the integrated producers’
ethylene/LDPE, margin stood at US$ 631/t, a substantial 36% improvement over the US$ 464/t recorded in the
2Q09. The European market was influenced by restricted resin supply (shutdowns and programmed
stoppages) and the higher cost of the main raw materials, which, together with the upturn in domestic
demand and exports to China, paved the way for price adjustments and improved margins, which had been
heavily compressed since the beginning of the financial crisis.
Thanks to the U.S. petrochemical industry’s greater raw-material flexibility, together with the depreciation of
the dollar against the other currencies, the local polyethylene industry remained highly competitive in the
3Q09 with resin exports, especially to China, remaining strong throughout. Average U.S. LDPE prices moved
up by 6% over the 2Q09 to US$ 1,595/t and the integrated producers’ ethylene/LDPE margin widened by 7% to
US$ 1,138/t. It is worth noting that current margins in the region are consolidating at historically high levels,
despite the financial crisis and its effects on the economy as a whole.
Polypropylene (PP) prices followed the upward trajectory of the resin’s main input, propylene, which suffered
severe supply restrictions throughout most of the world. U.S. prices averaged US$ 1,602/t in 3Q09, 24% up on
the previous quarter. European prices behaved similarly, averaging US$1,397/t, a 30% improvement over the
2Q09.
The increase in PP prices ended up offsetting the propylene hike, so producers’ margins remained very close to
their 2Q09 levels of US$ 389/t in Europe and US$ 551/t in the U.S. It is worth noting that current margins are
being maintained and are consolidating at close to their pre-crisis levels, despite the adverse economic
scenario and unfavorable raw material prices.

Despite the 2009 price recovery, average Brent crude prices in the 9M09 (US$ 57.6/bbl) were still lower than
in the 9M08 (US$ 111.4/bbl), when prices were still unaffected by the international financial crisis which
erupted at the end of last year.
Naphtha prices followed a similar trajectory, averaging US$ 490/t in the 9M09, 47% down on the US$ 931.8/t
recorded in the same period the year before. As a result, the naphtha/Brent price ratio remained virtually flat
at 8.5.
U.S. natural gas prices (Mont Belvieu) averaged US$ 3.91/MM BTU in the 9M09, a substantial 60% down year-
on-year, reflecting excess supply (high U.S. inventories) and reduced demand from the industrial and electric
power sectors in the months following the global financial meltdown. Prices of the gas-based petrochemical
raw materials, ethane (US$ 312/t) and propane (US$ 397/t), followed the same trajectory, plunging by 60%
and 53%, respectively. The ethane/natural gas ratio stood at 10.7 in the 9M09, virtually identical to the 9M08
figure.
Basic petrochemical prices recorded a year-on-year downturn in both the U.S. and Europe, despite the
consolidation of the 2009 price recovery. U.S. ethylene, propylene and benzene prices fell by around 50% to
US$ 705/t, US$ 790/t and US$ 634/t respectively.

Given the price slide throughout the petrochemical chain, U.S. cracker margins narrowed by 29% over the
9M08 to R$ 279/t.
In Europe, where the effects of the crisis were also intense, average ethylene (US$ 960/t), propylene (US$
775/t) and benzene (US$ 622/t) prices fell by 42%, 47% and 49%, respectively, reducing local (naphtha-based)
cracker margins by 41%, from US$ 359/t in the 9M08 to US$ 210/t in the 9M09.
In the thermoplastics segment, contract prices fell significantly in both the U.S. and Europe, squeezing the
margins of the main products, which remained below their 9M08 levels.
In the polyethylene segment, taking low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as a reference, European prices
averaged US$ 1,254/t in the 9M09, still 41% down year-on-year despite the post-crisis price recovery. U.S.
prices behaved similarly, averaging US$ 1,509/t, 28% less than the US$ 2,104/t recorded in 9M08.
The 9M09 integrated ethylene-LDPE margin averaged US$ 503/t in Europe, 39% down on the US$ 830/t
recorded in the first nine months of 2008, while the U.S. margin averaged R$ 1,079/t, very close to the 9M08
average of US$ 1,074/t, underlining the greater competitiveness of the U.S. industry, which is more exposed
to natural gas prices, which were strongly impacted by the eruption of the global financial crisis at the end of
last year.
Polypropylene (PP) prices and margins behaved very similarly to those of LDPE: year-on-year prices fell by
around 40% year-on-year in both the U.S. and Europe to US$ 1,154/t and US$ 1,342/t, respectively. As for
margins, the average PP spread over polymer-grade propylene fell by 19% to US$ 378/t in Europe and by 5% to
US$ 552/t in the U.S.

DOMESTIC SCENARIO
» 3Q09 vs. 2Q09
In general, the domestic petrochemical market in 3Q09 followed the international tendency, receiving further
momentum from the recovery of the Brazilian economy that began in the previous quarter. The upturn in
domestic demand and high export volume helped optimize production levels and maximize period sales.
Industrial indicators remained strong throughout, with production recording positive growth rates for the
ninth consecutive month, led by consumer durables, notably vehicles and white goods, which were still
favored by the government tax cuts and are strongly correlated with thermoplastics demand.
The average price of the main thermoplastic resins followed the international trajectory, moving up
throughout the third quarter. Buoyant demand and the higher cost of the main raw materials created a
propitious climate for local producers to adjust their prices and recoup their margins.
As a result, local polyethylene (LDPE) prices averaged R$ 3,890/t, 3% up on 2Q09, according to the specialized
consulting firm ICIS Lor.
Polypropylene prices averaged R$ 3,936/t in 3Q09, very similar to their 2Q09 level, also according to ICIS Lor.
» 9M09 vs. 9M08
The clear year-on-year decline in the domestic price of the leading thermoplastics (PE and PP) over the 9M08
was caused by the impact of the financial crisis on various sectors of the economy in the 9M09.
According to ICIS Lor, local average prices (in Reais) fell by 15% on average for both LDPE and PP.

As of June 2008, UNIPAR’s results include the consolidation of 100%
of the companies included in the financial statements of Quattor
Participações, deducting minority interests in a specific line.
UNIPAR’s remaining direct interests (Carbocloro, Unipar Comercial
and Polibutenos) continue to be consolidated in proportion to its
stake in each business.
Accordingly, the nine-month year-on-year comparisons were
jeopardized.
It is also worth noting that, due to the incorporation of Quattor
Químicos Básicos S.A. (formerly PqU) by Polietilenos União S.A.
(currently Quattor Química S.A.), the former’s results for May and
June 2009 were reflected in the latter’s figures through equity
income. The accounting procedure may jeopardize the analysis of
the performance in the period.

Given that Quattor was constituted in June 2008, the comments below deal with the quarter-over-quarter
comparison only.
» 3Q09 vs. 2Q09
Net Revenues: Consolidated net revenues totaled R$ 1,334.9 million, 15% up on the R$ 1,163.8 million
recorded in the previous quarter, mainly reflecting the recovery in sales volume and average sales prices in the
3Q09.
The resumption of demand and the increase in production pushed up consolidated domestic resin sales by
10%. Consolidated resin exports also did exceptionally well, climbing by 80% over the same period last year.
Gross Margin: Thanks to the recovery in sales prices and volume, Quattor’s consolidated gross profit increased
by 50%, from R$ 167.2 million, in the 2Q09, when the performance of the petrochemical sector and the
economy as a whole began to show signs of improvement, to R$ 250 million in the 3Q09.
EBITDA: Consolidated third-quarter EBITDA totaled R$ 236.3 million, 52% up on the R$ 155.4 million reported
in the previous three months, with an EBITDA margin of 18%, substantially higher than the 13.4% recorded in
the 2Q09, reflecting the company’s operational recovery.
Net Income: Net income totaled R$97.3 million in the 3Q09, versus R$160.1 million in the previous quarter,
when the positive effect of the dollar devaluation on the consolidated foreign currency debt (Riopol and
Quattor Petroquímica) was greater.
» 9M09 vs. 9M08
Net Revenues: Year-to-date net revenues totaled R$ 547.6 million, 11% up on the same period in 2008, chiefly
due to the increase in production capacity and the consequent upturn in the sales of soda, chlorine and by-
products.
It is worth remembering that the company has expanded its soda and chlorine production capacity by 40%
since the 3Q08, to 400,000t p.a. and 355,000t p.a., respectively.
Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled R$ 163.9 million, 4% higher than the 9M08, basically reflecting net revenue
growth, while the gross margin remained flat at 30%.

Net Income: Carbocloro posted year-to-date net income of R$ 115.1 million, 21% up on the R$ 94.9 million
recorded in the same period last year, thanks to the improved operating result.
» 3Q09 vs. 2Q09
Gross profit fell from R$ 51.8 million, in the 2Q09, to R$ 25.3 million, due to the decline in international soda
prices and the depreciation of the dollar.
Third-quarter net income totaled R$ 18 million, less than the R$ 43.6 million reported in the 2Q09.
» 9M09 vs. 9M08
Net Revenues: Year-to-date net revenues came to R$ 194.7 million, 13% down on the 9M08, essentially due to
the reduction in average prices.
Gross Margin: Gross profit totaled R$ 29.6 million, 8% up on year-on-year, reflecting the period margin
increase from 12% to 15%.
EBITDA: Thanks to the gross margin recovery, EBITDA closed the 9M09 at R$ 13.2 million, 12% up on the same
period last year.
Net Income: As a result, the company posted year-to-date net income of R$ 5.9 million, 15% up on the 9M08.
» 3Q09 vs. 2Q09
The third quarter was influenced by the continuing increase in production and demand that began in the
previous three months, and sales volume climbed by 22%. Thanks to the improved sales performance and the
higher gross margins, net income came to R$ 2.6 million, versus R$ 2.4 million in the 2Q09.
» 9M09 vs. 9M08
Net Revenues: Net revenues in the 9M09 came to R$ 41.3 million, 5% lower than the R$ 43.3 million recorded
in the 9M08, mainly due to the 9% decline in the average sales price. Sales volume moved up by 5%.
Gross Margin: Gross profit stood at R$ 16.6 million, 59% up on the same period the year before. The reduction

in the average sales price was offset by the decrease in the naphtha-pegged price of isobutene, the company’s
main input, leading to a substantial gross margin increase from 24%, in the 9M08, to 40%).
EBITDA: Reflecting the gross margin recovery, EBITDA climbed 62% year-on-year to R$ 14.0 million.

89%, from R$ 5.1 million, in the 9M08, to R$ 9.6 million.

The recovery in margins and sales volume throughout the 3Q09 led to gross profit of R$ 6.1 million, 17% up on
the 2Q09. This performance was also reflected in net income, which climbed from R$ 3.2 million to R$ 3.3
million.
