HIGHLIGHTS:
Braskem - Consolidated:
4
In 3Q17, consolidated EBITDA amounted to US$868 million, down 6% from 3Q16, mainly due to the scheduled shutdown of the Rio de Janeiro cracker and the unscheduled shutdowns of two PP units in the United States due to Hurricane Harvey. In Brazilian real, EBITDA came to R$2,746 million, decreasing 9% from 3Q16. Compared to 2Q17, EBITDA fell 8%, due to the capital gain from the divestment of quantiQ, in the amount of US$ 88 million.
4
In the year to date, Braskem’s consolidated EBITDA was US$2,960 million, 15% higher than in 9M16, with positive impacts from: (i) the 36% increase in chemical spreads in the international market; (ii) the expansion in production capacity and higher sales volume at units in the United States and Europe; (iii) the capital gain of US$88 million from the conclusion of the quantiQ divestment; and (iv) the higher sales of PE and PP in the Brazilian market. In Brazilian real, EBITDA amounted to $9,382 million, advancing 3% from 9M16, influenced by the Brazilian real appreciation in the comparison period.
4
In 3Q17, Braskem posted net income of R$764 million in the Consolidated and net income of R$799 million in the Parent Company. In the year to date, consolidated net income amounted to R$3,820 million, while net income attributable to shareholders came to R$3,697 million, corresponding to earnings of R$4.64 per common share and class “A" preferred share

In the quarter, the average international spread of the resins produced by Braskem in Brazil
4
, calculated as the difference between international price references for the resins and naphtha, was US$650/t, down 4% from 2Q17, mainly due to the 7% increase in the naphtha price in the international market, in line with the oil price variation.
4
The PP spread in the United States, calculated as the difference between the U.S. price references for polypropylene and propylene, was US$584/t, increasing 2% from 2Q17, reflecting the strong demand for polypropylene, especially in the housewares, thermoformed films, nonwovens and distributors segments.
4
The PP spread in Europe, calculated as the difference between the European price references for polypropylene and propylene, was US$544/t, increasing 8% from 2Q17, reflecting the combination of strong demand for the resin from various industries and the high supply of propylene from crackers that resumed operations after scheduled maintenance shutdowns.
4
The PE spread in Mexico, calculated as the difference between the U.S. price references for polyethylene and ethylene, was US$951/t, down 1%, due to the 5% increase in the ethane price in the period.
Compliance:
4
In keeping with its commitment to acting ethically, with transparency and integrity, the Company launched last year a comprehensive Compliance Program comprising various initiatives to improve its Compliance system. In the third quarter, 27 of these initiatives were concluded, which included:
§
developing and publishing the Directive on Donations & Sponsorships; and
§
creating and publishing three procedures (Audit, Corporate Credit Card, Promotional Gifts/Gifts/Entertainment/Hospitality).
Highlights by Segment:
Brazil:
4
Brazilian demand for resins (PE, PP and PVC) reached 1.3 million tons in 3Q17, growing 6% in relation to 2Q17. In the period, the Company's market share reached 69%, with sales of 915 kton, representing growth of 10% from 2Q17, faster than the overall industry. In the nine-month period, demand for resins grew 4% on the same period last year.
4
In 3Q17, the crackers operated at an average capacity utilization rate of 92%, down 1 p.p. from 2Q17, mainly due to the scheduled shutdown of the Rio de Janeiro cracker. In this scenario,
chemicals production in the quarter amounted to 2.2 million tons, while resin production came to 1.1 million tons.
4
To meet the growing demand for PE in the Brazilian market, the Company reduced its export volume, especially in regions other than South America, by 7% compared to 2Q17. In the case of PP exports, due to the impacts from Hurricane Harvey on the U.S. market, the Company increased its exports by 14% to capture opportunities in the North American market.

Capacity Utilization:
The crackers operated at an average capacity utilization rate of 92% in 3Q17, down 2 p.p. from 2Q17, due to the scheduled shutdown of the Rio de Janeiro cracker for approximately 30 days. Excluding the Rio de Janeiro cracker, the average capacity utilization rate in the quarter was 97%.
Sales Volume – Brazilian Market:
The sales volume of key chemicals to third parties in the Brazilian market in 3Q17 came to 503 kton, up 9% and 1% from 2Q17 and 3Q16, respectively, driven by higher sales of propylene and paraxylene.

Influenced by seasonality and by the retail and appliance/electronics industries, the estimated market for polyolefins (PE and PP) in 3Q17 reached 1,079 kton, up 7% from 2Q17. Compared to 3Q16, the estimated market for polyolefins grew 5%, led by sales of PE to the packaging market, especially for retail consumer goods, and PE to the automotive industry.
Sales Volume - Brazilian Market:
In 3Q17, Braskem’s sales volume outperformed the overall industry, increasing 9% compared to 2Q17, supporting a market share gain of 1 p.p., to 73%. Compared to 3Q16, sales volume in Brazil grew 5%, in line with Brazilian demand for polyolefins.
9
The Polyolefins segment is formed by 18 industrial plants in Brazil producing polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), which includes the production of Braskem’s Green PE from renewable feedstock.
The industrial operations consist of the PE and PP plants located in the chemical complexes of Triunfo, Camaçari, São Paulo, Paulínia and Rio de Janeiro, which have combined annual production capacity of 3,055 kton of PE, with 200 kton of Green PE and 1,850 kton of PP.
In 1Q17, the UTEC business, which previously was part of the Polyolefins segment, became part of the United States and Europe segment.
6
Net Revenue – Domestic Market:
Net revenue in 3Q17 came to US$1,128 million, advancing 7% from 2Q17, supported by sales volume growth and higher PP prices in the international market. This sales volume growth and higher average prices more than offset the 2% average appreciation in the Brazilian real between the periods. As a result, net revenue amounted to R$3,570 million, or 5% higher than in 2Q17.
Compared to 3Q16, influenced by higher sales volume, net revenue grew 1% in U.S. dollar and fell 2% in Brazilian real, mainly on the 3% average appreciation in the Brazilian real.
Sales Volume – Export Market:
Reflecting the higher demand for resins in the Brazilian market, export sales volume from the Polyolefins Unit decreased 12% compared to 3Q16. Exports to South American countries remained strong, since they are priority markets for the Company.
Net Revenue - Export Market:
Net revenue was US$440 million, down 3% and 7% compared to 2Q17 and 3Q16, respectively, mainly due to the lower export volume.
COGS
10
:
In 3Q17, COGS at the Polyolefins Unit came to R$3,957 million, increasing 4% from 2Q17, mainly due to the higher sales volume.
The average USG propylene price reference in 3Q17 was US$919/t, up 2% from 2Q17, explained by the passage of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, which affected the region’s refineries and crackers and significantly reduced the supply of propylene in the market. The European (NWE) price reference for ethylene, which is used for internal transfers, averaged US$1,145/t in the quarter, in line with 2Q17.
Compared to 3Q16, the COGS of the Polyolefins Unit decreased 3%. The 10% increase in the price references for NWE ethylene and USG propylene were neutralized by the lower sales volume and stronger Brazilian real.
SG&A Expenses:
In 3Q17, selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$336 million, corresponding to 6% of the segment’s net revenue.
EBITDA:
EBITDA amounted to US$223 million, down 14% from 2Q17, due to the narrowing of international polyolefin spreads. In Brazilian real, EBITDA came to R$704 million, declining 15%, influenced by the 2% average Brazilian real appreciation between the periods.
10
Cost of goods sold: ethylene and propylene are the main feedstocks used to make PE and PP, respectively. For PE production, 100% of the ethylene used is supplied by the Chemicals Unit, as is 65% of the propylene used to make PP, with the remainder supplied by Petrobras.

Capacity Utilization:
The average capacity utilization rate for PP stood at 94% in 3Q17, down 1 p.p. and 7 p.p. from 2Q17 and 3Q16, respectively, due to the unscheduled shutdowns in late August at the Seadrift and Oyster Creek units (both in Texas) as a result of the passage of Hurricane Harvey by the U.S. Gulf coast.
Market:
United States:
PP demand in the United States grew compared to 3Q16, especially in the housewares, food packaging and nonwovens industries.
Europe: Demand in Europe remained strong due to recoveries in the continent’s economies, led by sectors such as automotive. Furthermore, local producers benefited in the period from the lower volume of PP imports, due to maintenance shutdowns in the Middle East and the effects from Hurricane Harvey in the United States.
Sales Volume:
Sales volume in 3Q17 grew 9% compared to 3Q16, supported by higher production, the capacity-expansion projects at U.S. plants in late-2016 and the strong demand for PP in the regions. Compared to the prior quarter, sales grew by 6%.
13
The segment’s results are formed by six industrial units in the United States and two in Europe, with aggregate production capacity of 2,195 kta, with 1,570 kta in the United States and 625 kta in Europe.
10
Net Sales
:
In 3Q17, net revenue was US$774 million, 22% higher than in 3Q16, due to the higher PP prices in the regions, the lower resin imports and the growth in sales volume supported by the capacity-expansion projects in the segment. Compared to 2Q17, net revenue grew 8%, basically due to the higher sales volume and higher PP price in the United States and Europe.
COGS
14
:
In 3Q17, the segment’s cost of goods sold (COGS) amounted to US$583 million, increasing 31% from 3Q16.
The average price of polymer grade USG propylene in 3Q17 was US$919/t, up 2% and 10% from 2Q17 and 3Q16, respectively, explained by the passage of Hurricane Harvey in Texas, which affected the region’s refineries and crackers, significantly reducing the supply of propylene in the market.
The European price reference for propylene averaged US$944/t in 3Q17, in line with 2Q17 and 25% higher than in 3Q16, reflecting the higher oil price, the maintenance shutdowns at the region’s crackers and the fire that affected the largest refinery in Europe, limiting the supply of propylene on the continent.
|
|
|
SG&A Expenses
:
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 3Q17 came to US$40 million, corresponding to 5% of the segment’s net revenue in the period.
EBITDA
:
EBITDA in 3Q17 was US$164 million, 37% higher than in 2Q17, explained by the increase of 17% in the PP-propylene spread
15
in Europe and by the normalization of production at the plants in Germany, following the scheduled shutdown last quarter. In Brazilian real, EBITDA was R$519 million, accounting for 17% of consolidated EBITDA.
14
Cost of goods sold: The main feedstock used to make PP in the United States and Europe is propylene, which is supplied to the Company’s industrial units by various local producers.
15
As of 2Q16, we are presenting the U.S. PP spread as follows to better reflect the U.S. market: difference between the U.S. PP (GP-homopolymer) price and the U.S. Propylene (polymer grade) price.

Capacity Utilization:
In 3Q17, the average utilization rate of PE increased 4 p.p. from 2Q17, due to the higher ethane supply in the period.
Sales Volume:
In 3Q17, PP sales volume in the Mexican market was 153 kton, up 18% on the prior quarter, with the highlight September, which set a new record for monthly sales volume due to lower PE imports from the United States, a region affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Given its continued priority on serving the Mexican market, Braskem Idesa reduced by 25% its total export volume compared to 2Q17, and even was able to redirect exports to more profitable markets, such as Europe and the United States.
16
The segment comprises an ethane-based cracker, two high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plants and one low-density polyethylene (LDPE) plant with combined PE production capacity of 1,050 kta.
This unit includes the results of Braskem Idesa SAPI and of the other subsidiaries of Braskem S.A. in Mexico.
12
Net Sales:
Compared to 2Q17, net revenue in 3Q17 decreased 3%, due to the lower sales volume and lower resin prices in the international market in the period.
COGS
17:
In 3Q17, excluding resale
18
costs, COGS came to US$163 million, down 2% from 2Q17, impacted by the lower sales volume.
In the quarter, reflecting the higher volume of ethane exports from the United States, the USG price reference for the product increased 5% from 2Q17.
The cost of natural gas decreased 6% compared to 2Q17, due to the 4% drop in the Henry Hub price reference due to lower demand from the power generation industry (residential and commercial), reflecting the more moderate temperatures during the northern hemisphere’s summer.
|
|
|
SG&A Expenses:
In 3Q17, selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to US$25 million, corresponding to 9.4% of the segment’s net revenue.
EBITDA:
In 3Q17, EBITDA was US$136 million, down 4% from 2Q17, pressured by lower PE-ethane spreads, based on international price references.
Financial Results Braskem Idesa:
In 3Q17, the financial result was an expense of R$363 million (compared to net financial income of R$15 million in 2Q17), reflecting the impact from an exchange variation loss on the outstanding balance of the loan (compared to an exchange variation gain in 2Q17) due to the depreciation in the Mexican peso against the
U.S. dollar in 3Q17. On September 30, 2017, the outstanding principal of the loan with the project’s shareholders stood at US$1,969 million.
Excluding the effects from exchange variation, the financial result in 3Q17 was an expense of R$231 million, compared to an expense of R$250 million in 2Q17.
17
Cost of goods sold: For its ethane supply, Braskem Idesa has a 20-year agreement with the subsidiary of Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), whose price is based on the USG ethane price reference.
For its natural gas supply, Braskem Idesa has a supply contract with prices referenced to a basket of sources of natural gas in the U.S. South, especially the Henry Hub natural gas price reference.

The consolidated figures are formed by the results from the Brazil, United States & Europe and Mexico segments adjusted by eliminations and reclassifications.
14
Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
Consolidated COGS in 3Q17 amounted to US$2,885 million (R$9,126 million).
Excluding from COGS the resales (R$45 million), consolidated COGS amounted to R$9,081 million, increasing 1% from 2Q17 and 11% from the same period in 2016, which is mainly explained by:
(i)
the production ramp-up at the Braskem Idesa chemical complex;
(ii)
higher prices of key raw materials with prices referenced in the international market; and
(iii)
the higher sales volume of chemicals and thermoplastic resins, which were partially offset by the 3% Brazilian real appreciation between the periods.
In 3Q17, naphtha accounted for 39.3% of total COGS, down 4 p.p. from 3Q16, explained by: (i) the normalization of production at the Mexico complex; (ii) the Brazilian real appreciation between the periods; and (iii) the lower price of oil and petroleum products.
SG&A Expenses
In 3Q17, selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to R$792 million, increasing 8% compared to 3Q16, reflecting (i) the growth in sales volume; (ii) conclusion of the production ramp-up at the Mexico chemical complex; (iii) the startup of the new UTEC unit; and (iv) wage increases under the collective bargaining agreement in late 2016. In U.S. dollar, SG&A expenses amounted to US$250 million, 11% higher than in 3Q16.
Other Income / Expenses, Net (OIE)
Excluding the capital gain from the sale of quantiQ in 2017, the Company recorded a R$160 million increase in other operating expenses in 3Q17 compared to 2Q17, mainly due to: (i) the R$91 million gain from provisioning and write-offs of discontinued projects; (ii) the R$25 million gain from Team Member profit sharing; and (iii) the R$19 million gain from provisioning for legal and labor claims. Of the total OIE recorded, R$76 million do not affect the Company’s EBITDA.
EBITDA
Braskem’s consolidated EBITDA
20
in 3Q17 was US$868 million, down 6% from the same period last year, mainly due to the 13% decrease in resin spreads in the international market, the effects from Brazilian real appreciation on the translation of dollar-denominated expenses and higher operating expenses
21
, with these effects partially neutralized by the higher sales volume. In Brazilian real, EBITDA came to R$2,746 million, decreasing 9% from 3Q16.
Excluding the effect from the capital gain from the quantiQ divestment of US$88 million (R$277 million) from the result for 2Q17, EBITDA in 3Q17 increased 1.3%, supported primarily by the higher sales volume.
20
EBITDA is defined as the net result in the period plus taxes on profit (income tax and social contribution), the financial result and depreciation, amortization and depletion. The Company opts to present adjusted EBITDA, which excludes or adds other items from the statement of operations that help improve the information on its potential gross cash generation.
21
Higher expenses with: (i) provisioning, especially for tax and labor claims; and (ii) costs and expenses with idle plants.
15
Net Financial Result
22
The net financial result in 3Q17 was an expense of R$638 million, compared to an expense of R$650 million in the previous quarter.
·
Financial expenses were in line with 2Q17, with a positive effect from the 4% Brazilian real appreciation and the decline in interest rates.
·
Financial income also was in line with 2Q17, affected by the reduction in interest rates.
·
Net exchange variation was affected by the transition of hedge accounting of exports, in the amount of R$275 million.
Excluding the effects from exchange variation, the net financial result in 3Q17 was an expense of R$422 million, increasing R$3 million from the expense in the prior quarter.

Currency Hedging Program
Braskem holds net exposure to the U.S. dollar (i.e., more USD-pegged liabilities than USD-pegged assets). At the end of 3Q17, this net exposure was formed: (i) in the operations, by 54% of suppliers, which was offset by 70% of accounts receivable; and (ii) in the capital structure, by almost all of the net debt. Since its operating cash flow is heavily linked to the dollar, maintaining this level of net exposure to the dollar in liabilities acts as a natural hedge. Virtually 100% of its revenue is pegged to the variation in the U.S. dollar and approximately 80% of its costs also is pegged to this currency.
In September 2016, Braskem launched a recurring currency hedging program to mitigate the exposure of its cash flows to liabilities denominated in Brazilian real and not pegged to the U.S. dollar, such as electricity, payroll, etc..

Excludes the financial result of Braskem Idesa SAPI.
16
With the exclusive purpose of protecting its cash flow, the program adopts two strategies using derivative instruments: (i) purchase of put options (“puts”) and (ii) purchase of put options associated with the sale of call options (“collar”).
Both alternatives protect Braskem in the event of appreciation in the local currency, with the difference being that the collar strategy can also result in losses for the Company if the BRL/USD exchange rate surpasses the strike price of the call options. With collars, however, the payment of the net premium for obtaining the puts is lower, since the Company receives a premium from the sale of the call options. Lastly, note that any losses from the collar strategy always are offset by gains in competitiveness from the reduction in costs denominated in BRL when translated into USD.
At September 30, 2017, Braskem held a total notional amount of put options of R$3.8 billion, with an average strike price of 2.96 R$/US$. Simultaneously, the Company also held a total notional amount of call options of R$2.2 billion, with an average strike price of R$4.26. The operations have a maximum term of 18 months.
Net Income/Loss
In 3Q17, the Company posted net income R$764 million, advancing 33% from 2Q17, supported by lower expenses with exchange variation, net.
In the nine-month period, net income amounted to R$3.8 billion, growing 102% in relation to 9M16. Net income attributable to shareholders amounted to R$3.7 billion, corresponding to R$4.64 per common share and class “A" preferred share and to R$0.61 per class “B” preferred share.

On September 30, 2017, the average debt term was 15 years, and considering only dollar-denominated debt, the average debt term was 17 years. The weighted average cost of the Company’s debt corresponded to exchange variation + 5.69%.
In line with its strategy to maintain high liquidity and preserve its financial health, the Company also maintains two stand-by credit facilities in the amounts of US$750 million and R$500 million, both of which mature in 2019. None of the stand-by credit facilities was used in the period.
Braskem’s liquidity position of R$2,219 million is sufficient to cover the payment of all obligations maturing over the next 22 months. Considering the stand-by credit facilities, this coverage is 26 months.
18
Bond Issue:
In October 2017, the Company raised US$1.75 billion through a bond issue in the international market, of which US$500 million is due in five years and US$1.25 billion in ten years. The issue, for which demand exceeded the offer by 8.2 times, represents the largest funding transaction and with the lowest cost ever in the Company’s history.
The proceeds from the issue will be used mainly to repay other shorter-term, higher-cost liabilities. Consistent with its global debt strategy, the Company concentrates 80% of its consolidated gross debt (ex-Braskem Idesa) in the capital markets.
Risk-rating agencies:
Braskem maintained investment grade ratings at Standard & Poor's (BBB-) and Fitch Ratings (BBB-) and credit ratings above Brazil’s sovereign risk at the three main rating agencies (S&P, Fitch and Moody’s).
In August 2017, Standard & Poor's removed Brazil’s sovereign credit rating from CreditWatch note, justified by the reduction in political uncertainties and signs of the economy stabilizing. Consequently, the agency also removed from CreditWatch the credit ratings of several Brazilian organizations, including Braskem.
In September 2017, Fitch reaffirmed Braskem’s credit rating with a stable outlook, which is above Brazil’s sovereign rating, and reaffirmed that the Company’s rating is no longer limited by the sovereign rating, mainly due to
(i)
the strong cash generated by the Company’s international assets and by exports from Brazil;
(ii)
the availability of cash in foreign currency; and
(iii)
the untapped stand-by credit facility of US$750 million.

Investments
25
In the first nine months of 2017, Braskem’s units in Brazil, the United States and Europe made 66% of the total investments planned for the year. The amount of R$158 million in strategic investments in Brazil refers primarily to the project to diversify its feedstock profile at the cracker in Bahia.
In the same period, Braskem Idesa made 25% of its investment planned for the year.

Cash Flow
26
In 3Q17, Braskem’s free cash flow
27
amounted to R$1,068 million, increasing 6% from 2Q17. Excluding the proceeds from the divestment of quantiQ in 2Q17, free cash flow grew 90% in 3Q17, with positive impacts from:
o
the drawdown in the inventory of finished goods due to the higher sales volume;
o
the higher provisioning for income tax and social contribution;
o
the provision for joining the Special Tax Payment Program;
o
the lower interest expenses, due to (i) the reductions in consolidated gross debt and in debt cost in Brazilian real; and (ii) the Brazilian real appreciation; and
o
the lower payment of income tax and social contribution (IR/CSLL).
The quarter also registered the payment of the first installment of the Leniency Agreement with the Federal Prosecution Office (MPF), in the amount of R$736 million.
Value Drivers
1.
New PP plant in the United States:
Consistent with Braskem’s strategy to diversify its feedstock profile and to expand geographically in the Americas, strengthening its leadership in PP production in the United States, the Board of Directors approved, on June 21, 2017, the project to build a new 450 kton polypropylene plant at its site in La Porte, Texas. The project is slated to start operations in the first half of 2020.
25
Considers operating investment, maintenance shutdowns and acquisitions of spare parts.
26
Note that the cash flow analysis above does not consider the reclassification of “cash and cash equivalents” to “financial investments held for trading” related to financial investments in Brazilian federal government bonds (Brazilian floating-rate (SELIC) government bond - LFT) and floating-rate bonds (LFs) issued by financial institutions, whose original maturities exceed three months, with high liquidity and expected realization in the short term, in accordance with Note 5 to the Quarterly Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017.
27
Exclu
des: (i) payment under the Leniency Agreement; and (ii) reclassification of cash and cash equivalents to financial investments held for trading, as explained in footnote 27.
20
In the first nine months of the year, Braskem already has invested R$364 million in detailed engineering and initial purchases of equipment. In September, the project completed 45% of engineering and 27% of procurement. Other highlights include:
§
contracting, in July, of Linde Group to lead the project’s EPC;
§
granting, in August, by the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) of the permit to begin construction.
Over the coming months, efforts will focus on the final detailed engineering and advances in key equipment purchases.
2.
Feedstock flexibility project in Bahia:
The project to increase production flexibility at the Bahia cracker to enable it to produce up to 15% of its ethylene using ethane feedstock ended September at 90% completion and investments in the year to date of R$158 million. Since the start of the project, Braskem has invested R$278 million, or 73% of the total estimated for the project. The project's conclusion is scheduled for 4Q17.
3.
Development of Renewable MEG
Braskem, in partnership with Haldor Topsoe, is developing a new technology to produce monoethylene glycol (MEG) from sugarcane. MEG is a raw material used to make PET, an important resin for the textile and packaging industries that is widely used around the world to make bottles. The partnership calls for the construction of a demonstration plant in Denmark, with startup slated for 2019.
4.
Creation of an Ad hoc Committee
To strengthen its focus on pursuing alternatives for creating value for the Company, the Board of Directors decided to create an Ad Hoc Committee, which is formed by four of its independent members. The objective of the Ad Hoc Committee is to assess, jointly with the Company’s Executive Board and expert external advisors, strategies for promoting growth and enhancing governance practices, as well as any other alternative that add value to the Company.
Sustainable Development
Braskem continues to focus on strengthening its contribution to sustainable development, mitigating risks and seeking shared value creation. Its efforts in this area are structured along three main fronts: (i) increasingly sustainable Resources and Operations; (ii) increasingly sustainable Product Portfolio; and (iii) Solutions for a more sustainable life. The highlights in the quarter include:
·
Maxio Resin: Electrolux started using Maxio resins in its line of washing machines as part of a broad cost-cutting program with gains that led to savings of 10% in its total energy consumption for washing machine production.
·
Wecycle: Muzzicycles, a Brazilian manufacturer of bicycles, is now receiving PE resins from recycling cooperatives sponsored and verified by Wecycle and also was included in the Ser+Realizador program, which supports the management of cooperatives in 11 Brazilian states, with Braskem incentives. Each bicycle frame contains around three kilograms of plastic, of which 30% has been recycled. The mix between virgin and recycled polymer is necessary to ensure the mechanical performance of the bicycles.
·
Braskem Labs: The Braskem Labs Challenge, a new program to help the company enhance its processes, was launched in the period. The 2017 edition of Braskem Labs Challenge includes 10 Challenges divided into logistics and administrative solutions. After a pre-selection, the startups participate in a Demo Day with Braskem’s internal teams, when a panel selects those that will be offered an opportunity to conduct a pilot project with the Company. If the pilot project is successful, the startup may become a Braskem supplier.
·
Social Responsibility: The Braskem Volunteer Program 2017, which encourages Team Members to engage in volunteer actions with social organizations, was launched. To date, 53 teams and over 300 Team Members have already joined the program.
21
·
Recognition by Carbon Disclosure Program (CDP): Braskem once again figured on the Climate "A" List of CDP Investor, becoming the only Brazilian company to achieve, for the second straight time, the highest score in the Climate ranking and figuring in the Water ranking for the first time.
·
Recycling: Braskem has created the Recycling & Wecycle Platform department, which will consolidate all of the Company's ongoing recycling projects. With the goal of developing new programs on the Wecycle platform, it will work to promote the use of plastic waste across the production chain by improving processes and products, including through technological development. In May, Braskem and Grupo Pão de Açúcar (GPA) announced a partnership to recycle 60 tons of plastic per year to produce the new packaging for the retailer’s private-label bleach brand Qualitá. Now, the partnership is being expanded with the use of recycled materials in the packaging for other products in the line. At the other end, namely the collection of plastic waste, the new department will work jointly with the Sustainable Development department on its Ser + Realizador program, which supports cooperatives with total membership of some 3,400 recyclable-material collectors.
Class Action
In September 2017, the Company entered into with the Lead Plaintiff of the class action filed with the U.S. Courts (“Class Action”) a proposed agreement (“Proposed Agreement”), whose preliminary approval was granted by said Court in the same month. Under the Proposed Agreement, Braskem would pay US$10 million to settle all claims brought by purchasers of Braskem American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) during the period from July 15, 2010 to March 11, 2015, arising from or related to the subject-matter of the Class Action, except any investors that come to request their exclusion from the agreement.
The Proposed Agreement is subject to a number of conditions including final approval by the Court. The Final Approval Hearing, which will determine whether the Proposed Settlement should be approved, is expected for February 21, 2018.
Special Tax Compliance Program (“PERT”)
In October 2017, Braskem and its subsidiary Braskem Petroquímica adhered to PERT, implemented through Decree MP 783, of May 31, 2017, indicating the payment of tax and social security liabilities in the aggregate amount of R$111.7 million. On this amount, the program granted a discount of R$12.9 million. Of the remaining balance of R$98.8 million, R$68 million will be offset using income tax losses and social contribution tax loss carryforwards, and R$30.9 million will be paid in cash, of which R$21.9 million was paid in October 2017 and R$9 million will be paid in January 2018.

* On the base date of the quarterly financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2017, Braskem was in non-remediated default with project finance contractual obligations. As a result, the entire balance of non-current liabilities, in the amount of R$8,700 million, was reclassified to current liabilities, in accordance with CPC 26 and its corresponding accounting standard IAS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements).
In accordance with the aforementioned accounting standards, reclassification is required in situations in which the breach of certain contractual obligations entitles creditors to request the prepayment of obligations in the short term. In this context, note that none of the creditors requested said prepayment of obligations and that Braskem Idesa has been settling its debt service obligations in accordance with their original maturity schedule. Furthermore, Braskem Idesa has been negotiating approval of such breaches with its creditors in order to reclassify the entire amount reclassified from current liabilities back to non-current liabilities.
** Includes the exchange variation of financial liabilities designated as hedge accounting.
