Business perspective
The uncertainties in the economy and in politics continue to impact the markets in w hich w e operate, w ith consequent reduction of
investments, suspension of projects and reduction of the pace of w orks conducted by our customers. In view of this scenario, the
ICEI - Industrial Bus iness men Confidence Index (ndice de Confiana do Empresrio Industrial), according to research conducted
by the National Confederation of Industries ( CNI), reached 35.5 in April 2016, against 39.2 in the same period of 2015. The
consequence of the lack of confidence in the market is the paralysis of the economy w ith consequent delay of investments. With
the resolution of the political crisis, in accordance w ith market perceptions, there is a perspective that investments w ill resume in
the medium ter m.
According to survey conducted by CNI, the main problems faced by the construction industry are: high interest rates, insufficient
internal demand and default by customers, further reinforcing concerns w ith the financial conditions of companies.
With the deterioration of the budgetary situation of the Government in all spheres, the country is facing the most severe scenario of
lack of new public w orks in recent years. The economic and political crisis reduced investments made by States by approximately
47% in the first tw o months of this year w hen compared to the same period in the previous year. This lack of investment generated
a scenario of interrupted w orks throughout Brazil w ithout a forecast for conclusion, w orks being perfor med at a slow er pace, and
innumerable essential w orks that have no forecast to progress from the phase of design and intention. There are very few
construction w orks in mobilization phase.
Disbursements by the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) reached R$ 18.1 billion in 1Q16, declining 46% in comparison w ith
the same period of 2015, 32% being allocated to the infrastructure sector. Inquir ies, in a total amount of R$ 23.5 billion, decreased
by 7%, show ing a slow dow n in the pace of reduction.
The Federal Court of Audit (TCU) authorized, on April 20, 2016, the government to hold an auction for concession of the airports of
Florianpolis, Porto Alegre, Fortaleza and Salvador. These concessions are part of the Program for Investment in Logis tics
launched by the Government in June 2015, w ith planned investments of R$ 198.4 billion, of w hich R$ 69,2 billion until 2018, and
the rest from 2019 onw ards.

Construction, had a 18.7% reduction compared to 4Q15. Ex penses w ith personnel represent 45.3% of the SG&A. We are

branch offices, one of the Rental business unit, in Sorocaba, and five of the Construction business unit, that serve the Buildings
