Message from the CEO

 

 

Here we are after another year in Brazil where reality ended up being quite different from expectations. The atmosphere in the beginning of 2017 was of cautious optimism: encouraging initial signs of economic upswing shadowed by question marks on approval reforms required to ensure sustainable improvements. Political uncertainties increased around middle of year. Declining inflation and interest rates trends instead progressed and growth signs spread across wider range of industries. Reforms approval lagged behind expectations and 2018 starts with elections bringing additional challenges to reaching that goal. But Brazil is out of recession, inflation is back on track and interest rates just hit record lows. Quoting English gentlemen, “not bad at all”.

Cosan Limited businesses delivered on guidance across the board for eighth consecutive year, grounded on tireless search for operation excellence. Raízen Combustíveis keeps on outperforming peers and delivering solid EBITDA growth in volatile pricing and supply environment. Raízen Energia concluded 2017/18 crushing season further optimizing its cost structure while optimizing its product mix to offset more challenging commodities price scenario. Comgás and Moove beat guidance leveraging on higher industrial activity, Rumo scored record high EBITDA by managing to overcome operational challenges amid major turnaround to reap rewards of record high crop in Brazil. Last but not least, all our companies ended 2017 with leveraging ratios hovering close to 2,5x Net EBITDA target and strong cash generation. Our portfolio has been tested against stressed economic environments over the last decade and succeeded.

Capital allocation. CZZ issued USD 500 million in bonds aimed at funding our participation in timely BRL 2.6 billion follow on at Rumo, reducing funding costs while de-risking further our portfolio. In line with our commitment to simplifying our corporate structure, CZZ sold Comgás shares to Cosan S/A (from the exercise of a put option by Shell, under the exact same conditions), strengthening CZZ cash liquidity. Then, we called for a successful tender offer resulting on buy back of USD 212 million worth of CZZ shares as part of capital allocation strategy, reflecting high conviction in the value of our portfolio. CZZ outperformed underlying listed assets by approximately 10%.

We released our guidance for 2018, calling for another year of pro-forma EBITDA expansion. Raizen Combustíveis is expected to continue leveraging on strong relationship with its retailers, strengthened across economic downturn, and supply and commercialization strategy. Raizen Energia efficiency journey will allow it to endeavor a year of more challenging commodity prices with robust returns. Comgas is set to keep on benefiting from higher economic activity and conversion of new residential and commercial clients. Moove is well positioned to benefit from upturn in Brazil while international expansion continues. And Rumo remains committed to execution of its business plan to deliver continued EBITDA growth and cash generation.

2017 has been another amazing year for Cosan Limited and we expect 2018 to be the same.

Marcos Marinho Lutz, CZZ’s CEO.

4rd Quarter and Fiscal Year of 2017

 

 

Loans and Financing

In December 31, 2017, Cosan Limited’s (CZZ Corporate) gross debt totalized R$ 2.4 billion, reflecting the USD 500 million Bond 2024 issuance in September of 2017.

Cash and cash equivalents came to R$ 1.2 billion in 4Q17, compared to R$ 1.9 billion at the close of the 3Q17, due to the following events: (i) investment of R$ 545 million related to the participation in the capital increase of its subsidiary Cosan Logística and (ii) conclusion of Share Buyback Program in the amount of US$ 212 million, partially offset by the sale of Comgás shares (resulting from Shell’s exercise) to Cosan S/A in the amount of R$ 833 million.

CZZ Corporate’s net debt ended the period at R$ 1.2 billion, higher than the Company’s net debt of R$ 428 million at the end of 3Q17.
