Paranapanema 2018 Project In the beginning of the second half of the year, we kicked-off Paranapanema 2018 Project (PMA 2018 or Project) which sets a roadmap to increase earnings in a sustainable manner, and consequently increase the Company’s value through short and medium-term structured actions. PMA 2018 has been created given the observed opportunities to improve processes, people and operational margin management. One of PMA 2018 objectives is to redesign the Company business processes to improve earnings forecast and capital employment levels. The implementation of a strong budget driven culture and objective criteria to manage expenditures is of fundamental importance to maximize earnings potential. We believe that by implementing a culture of excellence in management and processes, with strong focus on execution, we are strengthening the conditions to sustain the value creation to our shareholders. Management strategy is to maximize shareholders value through four key drivers (i) installed capacity utilization, (ii) cost efficiency, (iii) commercial penetration, and (iv) asset productivity. Capacity utilization at Paranapamena is highly correlated with smelter availability at Dias d’Ávila. In this context, preventive maintenance is a top priority to keep operations up-and-running. Thus, we are implementing a daily scheduled maintenance system to increase confidence on critical equipment. This model is based on best-in-class industrial players. The Primary Copper production is recovering with higher volumes. Cost efficiency will increase the Company’s competitiveness and profitability. Implementing new cost management processes and reducing outsourcing will allow us to reach the expected results. We are shaping our organization to be fast and lean, eliminating low productivity operations, merging structures, and reviewing existing contracts. In order to increase commercial penetration, the Company is reorganizing its sales processes, focusing on clients, value adding, and simplification of product lines. Increasing asset productivity is a target to be reached by lowering Inventories and Fixed Assets amounts. We continue our journey towards reducing Inventories levels. In 3Q14 there was a 16% volume reduction. Another initiative is to enhance the risk-return analysis and prioritization of Capex projects according to expected yields criteria. The results of these four key drivers will be perceived in better operational results and lower need for operating assets, thus increasing the Return on Invested Capital index, which has become the key decision making driver for our Management. To deliver all initiatives we rely on a newly formed group of professionals, comprised of a renewed Board of Directors and Officers, and of a technically improved team of managers. In July/14 we hired Galeazzi & Associados (G&A), a renowned consulting firm with relevant experience in the initiatives that we are undertaking at Paranapanema. G&A will participate in our operations for 12 months, identifying and helping our managers to deliver the gains foreseen in PMA 2018. In October/14 the Executive Office and G&A presented to the Board of Directors its diagnosis and action plan, to capture the identified gains. Another important step that is starting now is the “Zero-Base Budget” process, which will help us to reduce spending and increase productivity of operational assets by implementing a stricter budgeting 4 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE culture. On 2Q15 G&A will review its diagnosis and will leave Paranapanema at the beginning of 3Q15, when a new culture of management excellence is to be implemented in the Company. In order to allow our shareholders and the market to follow the evolution of PMA 2018, we present the following table with the main KPIs we will concentrate our efforts on improving: Unit 2013 2014(E) Baseline 2016 Review 2018 Target kt 257 236 280 290 Transformation Cost R$/ton sold 2,047 2,029 1,840 1,748 Recurring SG&A R$/ton sold 615 554 515 489 Maintenance Capex R$MM Index Cathode production % of depreciation Operating assets % Days N/A 124 103 116 120 ~90% ~100% ~100% 155 140 120 Note1: the ammounts presented in R$ will be adjusted by inflation index of the period Note 2: (E) Estimate [The remainder of this page has been intentionally left blank] 5 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE Capex trend, maintenance plan and return thresholds for future projects to benefit value creation process Over the past four years, Paranapanema entered an intense Capex cycle, investing in the expansion, of (i) additional smelting capacity from 220kton to 280kton per year, (ii) a new Tubes plant with annual capacity of 30 kton, and (iii) wiring capacity at Dias d’Ávila from 18 kton to approximately 52 kton a year in 2011. Note: (E) - Estimate The main CapEx project at this moment is related to the Sulfuric Acid plant at Dias d’Ávila (BA), which has reached the end of its operational life. This new sulfuric acid plant are being built at the same place as the existing one and is part of our recently revised-down CapEx plan to 2014, from R$194 million to R$103million. We expect to commission the plant in the 1H15. Currently our installed capacity availability presents opportunity to grow our volumes without investments in new capacity. Our focus is to maximize productivity of the Company’s existing assets by increasing production volumes using the same level of resources, and we do not anticipate the need of major additional capacity for the coming years. Our annual CapEx plan should be equivalent to the annual depreciation rate, currently around R$120 million, while this capacity availability remain comfortable. New investments are decided upon a strict decision process based on criteria such as strategic alignment and prioritization, return on investment, Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Net present value versus weighted average cost of capital, funding structure, and payback. With higher capacity utilization, aligned with adequate CapEx maintenance to existing assets and capital discipline for future projects, Paranapanema starts a new era of positive cash flow generation, while increasing its competitive advantages. To achieve an operational level of excellence and to maximize the Company’s value is an important step to explore complementary businesses in the future, bringing synergies and additional gains to our shareholders. Business Environment – Copper Market Related to the copper market, we observed global cathode demand sustained by moderate growth in Chinese market, with attractive prices and limited supply by other smelters. Macroeconomic data influenced the Copper price, maintaining the decline trajectory on 3Q14 (-3.1% vs. 2Q14). 6 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE According with Wood Mackenzie, consumers remain tentative on the full year outlook due to on-going geopolitical tensions, with demand expected to decelerate to 4.6% in second half of 2014, after posting strong 7.6% growth in H1. However, moderate economic growth, more affordable copper prices, and the continued limited availability of high grade scrap have been major factors supporting cathode demand in 2014. At the end of 3Q14, spot TCRCs remained significantly higher than current benchmark terms for 2014 of $92/t & 9.2c/lb. LME week, held at the second half of October, marked the beginning of negotiations for next year TCRCs. Traditionally, the spot buying demand amongst Chinese smelters is significantly lower in September. An average TCRCs of $115/t & 11.5c/lb is believed to be the spot buying terms from Chinese smelters for clean concentrates during the month. The mine to trader market also reported TCRCs of $110/t & 11c/lb for clean concentrate during September. Brazil The macroeconomic environment in Brazil remained challenging during 3Q14. We prepared the Company to face these market conditions in the past months by assuming at the end of 2Q14, a cautious posture when dealing with business related to the Brazilian economy. The way we found to grow was to export the surplus of production for which there was no demand in Brazil. 7 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE Industrial Survey data released by CNI – Confederação Nacional da Indústria (National Industry Confederation) on October 23, 2014, indicate a slight improvement in the industrial sector in September compared to previous months, but still not enough to improve expectations for year-end. The Brazilian Construction Sector, an important segment to Paranapanema, presented in August its worst results since November 2005, according with the 60th Sondagem Nacional da Indústria da Construção Civil (National Civil Construction Industry Research) published by the SindusCon-SP and Fundação Getulio Vargas on October 7, 2014. It is a reflex of the negative perception in the sector for the coming months. Data from the Economic Survey of ABINEE - Associação Brasileira da Indústria Elétrica e Eletrônica (Brazilian Association of Electrical and Electronics Industry) published on October 21, 2014 show that in September the Electronics sector posted better results than in the last three months, even though the industry has not yet retaken significant growth. Internal Environment Measures taken to normalize the Company's Primary Copper production show the first results in 3Q14, when we produced 60 thousand tons (annualized production of 240 thousand tons out of the total capacity of 280 thousand tons), 7.2% growth when compared to last quarter. Production volumes also shows recovery to historical levels and evolution of the utilization of installed capacity of the Dias d’Ávila plant. This recovery is due to the adoption of a new preventive maintenance model, from which we are already benefiting from preventing unscheduled maintenance stoppages and greater smelter availability, reflecting in greater installed capacity usage during 3Q14. The constant evolution of industrial uptime at the Dias d’Ávila Primary Copper Unit is focus of Paranapanema’s Management, but we cannot rule out the event of other unscheduled maintenance stoppages until the preventive maintenance program is fully implement in all critical equipment. Management is fully committed in delivering this process by 1H15. The Copper Products production reached 62 thousand tons in 3Q14, a 3.5% reduction to 2Q14, due to the weak business environment in Brazil, main destination of the sales of Laminates and Wires, the main affected products. The greater production of Primary Copper contributed to a total Sales Volume of 71 thousand tons, a 12.4% growth over 2Q14. We continue to make progress on Transformation Cost per ton sold, which index amounted 9.6% less when compared to 2Q14. To achieve this performance we are increasing the Management for us on two areas: (i) capacity usage and (ii) productivity, at the same time as creating a culture of greater operational efficiency and leaner organization. Transformation Cost (R$/ton) 1,999 -9.6% 1,807 2Q14 3Q14 Additionally, the Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) were 9% lower over 2Q14. It’s important to highlight that over the quarter there were non-recurring (one-off) events, specially labor contingency provisions, amounting to R$16 million. When comparing SG&A excluding non-recurring items, the improvement is even better, a reduction of 31.3% from R$36 million on 2Q14 to R$25 million on 3Q14. 8 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE Throughout the year there was an important change regarding non-recurring items. On the first 9 months of 2014 non-recurring expenses negatively impacted our EBITDA on R$86 million, mainly related to the Partial Closure of Capuava and Poland Project assets write-off. During 3Q14 significant amounts related to lawsuits were recovered, positively impacting both Other non-recurring Revenues and Expenses (R$13 million) and Financial Income and Expenses (R$ 54 million). Another area of attention has been – and will continue to be – the management of invested capital, especially Inventories and Recoverable Taxes. For the second consecutive quarter, there was a reduction on both our Inventories and Recoverable Taxes level. Since the beginning of our Stock Short program on 4Q13, Inventories were reduced by 28% or R$533 million (September/14 vs. September/13). Recoverable Taxes reduction reaching R$148 million (September/14 vs. March/14). We still see room for additional improvement in our operations, which will benefit further reduction on Inventories cycle and lower Recoverable Taxes balance. The Company Management remains focused on promoting initiatives to expand the usage of installed capacity, sales volume and premiums, without losing sight of the goals of reducing spending and invested capital, thus aiming to improve the return on invested capital.

Exports had an important role in implementing this strategy, since the Brazilian market remains at a low level of activity. Copper Product sales increased 2.5% to 48 thousand tons. This performance is primarily due to increased sales of Tubes and growth in Toll of Rods, which offset the loss of Wires sales due to market contraction, particularly in the civil construction, automotive and energy distribution segments. By-products posted a 9.6% increase in sales volume, reaching 283 thousand tons, due to the sales of Sulfuric Acid (+0.3%), Anodic Slime (+24.9%), Revert (a By-product rich in copper and of which there were no sales on 2Q14) and Slag (+19.1%). 10 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE Sales Volume per Market The Brazilian Market (DM) absorbed 69.3% of the sales in the quarter, 49 thousand tons (including Toll) and 30.7% or 22 thousand tons of the Company’s sales were to the Export Market (EM). Increased EM sales are attributed to (i) the Company’s strategy to export the excess of Cathodes not absorbed at DM, (ii) sales of Anodic Slime, which is always exported and was sold well above historical levels in the 3Q14 and (iii) export of excess inventories of Revert. Copper and Exchange Rate Quotes The Company’s prices are based on the Copper settlement price on the London Metal Exchange (LME) in US-Dollars (USD). The LME price at the end of 3Q14 was lower than the 2Q14 closing price, whilst the average LME price in 3Q14 was 3.0% greater than last quarter, reaching USD6,992/t. Over the quarter, the average USD exchange rate was BRL 2.2654/USD; 1.6% above the 2Q14 average of BRL 2.2296/t. 11 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE Net Revenues in R$ million Net Revenues Primary Copper Domestic Market Export Market Toll Copper Products Rods/Wires/other Copper Products Domestic Market Export Market Toll Bars/Profiles/Laminates/Tubes and Fittings Domestic Market Export Market Toll By-products 3Q14 1,238 378 162 216 0 688 454 338 108 7 234 162 44 28 172 2Q14 1,090 252 163 89 0 770 592 489 99 4 178 117 33 29 67 % Var. 3Q14/2Q14 13.6% 49.7% -0.8% 142.3% -10.7% -23.4% -30.9% 9.5% 70.8% 31.6% 38.7% 35.1% -1.8% 157.0% 1Q14 1,093 311 178 134 0 724 531 416 112 3 193 139 33 21 58 3Q13 1,302 345 177 168 0 791 547 458 86 2 244 192 25 27 167 9M14 3,421 941 503 438 0 2,183 1,577 1,242 320 14 606 418 111 77 297 3Q14 Net Revenues totaled R$1,238 million; a 13.6% increase over 2Q14, due an increase in Exports of Primary Copper and By-products. Primary Copper Revenues increased 49.7%, reaching R$378 million in the quarter, primarily due to increased export volumes. Domestic Market represented 42.9% of the Primary Copper Revenues, below historical levels, reflecting the deterioration of Brazilian demand due to a slowed economy. 57.1% of Primary Copper Revenues came from the Export Market, above historical levels, due to excess production available for sale and to Brazilian economic momentum. While not strategic, 3Q14 exports demonstrate the Company’s ability to use the EM to absorb surplus Brazilian demand. Copper Products Revenues reached R$688 million, posting a 10.7% retraction over 2Q14. The 31.6% (R$56 million) increase in Bars, Profiles, Wires, Laminates, Tubes and Fittings revenues was not enough to offset the 23.4% (R$139 million) decrease in Rods and Wires Revenues. Export Revenues increased 15.1% (+R$20 million), R$9 million arising from greater sales of Rods, Wires and other Copper Products and R$11 million from Bars, Profiles, Wires, Laminates, Tubes and Fittings, partially offsetting the 17.5%, or R$106 million, Brazilian market retraction . Toll Revenues, which are primarily from the Domestic Market, posted a 6.1% or R$4 million increase in the quarter. By-products Revenues posted a 157.0% quarterly increase, totaling R$172 million, due to increased sales of Sulfuric Acid (R$4 million, +16.4%) and Slag (R$0.2 million, +12.7%) in the Domestic Market, and greater exports of Anodic Slime (R$ 23 million, +58.9%) and Revert (R$21 million, there were no sales of Revert in 2Q14). 12 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), comprised of Metal Cost, Transformation Cost and Costs allocated to Inventories totaled R$1,133 million; a 12.2% quarterly increase, primarily due to increased sales volume. The COGS per ton totaled R$16,022, in line when compared to 2Q14. Metal Cost in Reais increased 13.1%, totaling R$992 million, and was impacted by increase of sales volumes (+12.4%).

Gross Margin also increased to 8.5%, versus 7.4% in 2Q14. 13 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE The accumulated Gross Profit in the 9M14 includes a reclassification of results that in 1Q14 and 2Q14 were classified in the Net Financial Income (Loss) as “Metal Hedge” of +R$23 million and +R$25 million, respectively. This reclassification relates to the improvement of Hedge Accounting adoption by the Company.

Sales Expenses amounted to R$7 million; a 7.6% increase due to increased third-party services related to dispatch and personnel expenses. General and Administrative Expenses decreased 55.1% to R$12 million. The primary reason for this decrease is the reclassification of R$12 million in expenses from General and Administrative to “Other Operational Revenues and Expenses”. The reclassified expenses are of non-recurring nature. Without this adjustment, General and Administrative Expenses would have amounted to R$24 million, nevertheless a 9.6% reduction over 2Q14. This variation is primarily due to a reduction in third-party services, travel and personnel. Other Operational Expenses totaled R$22 million; a 85.1% increase from that of 2Q14 primarily due to the reclassification of General and Administrative expenses of R$12 million. Isolating this effect, the variation would have been a R$2 million reduction.

Financial Expenses remained stable in the period, in line with gross debt. Foreign Exchange Variation from accounts payable, accounts receivable and financing lines was R$47 million positive in 3Q14, compared to R$10 million negative in 2Q14, mainly due to liquidation of debt contracts in foreign currency. Other Financial Income and Expenses totaled R$43 million mainly from the accrual of interest and inflation updates over won lawsuits and bad debts recoveries by the Company within the quarter. Metal Hedge Metal Hedge results was R$34 million positive in 3Q14, from the mark–to-market difference between the average future price (based on the market curve) and the month average spot prices of metals.. Management highlights that these results are the effect of marking to market of derivatives used on Metal Hedge and which economic realization might occur in the future. Exchange Rate Hedge Paranapanema uses USD Non Deliverable Forwards (NDFs) to adjust its exposure to the USD in line with the Risk Management Policy. NDFs settled during 3Q14 generated a Hedge revenue of R$4 million. The Other Comprehensive Income account presented a negative variation of R$340 million in 3Q14, from the appreciation of the USD against the BRL, especially in September 2014. At the end of the quarter, the OCI balance in Net worth was negative R$216 million, a result of the marking to market the Exchange Rate Hedge positions. Total Return Swap Due to the variation of PMAM3 share price and CDI over 3Q14, the result ofmarking to market the Total Return Swap contracted in November 2012 was negative R$12 million.

The Company’s activities are divided into four industrial units, located in Dias D'Ávila (BA), Utinga and Capuava (Santo André - SP) and Serra (ES). Paranapanema is currently the largest Brazilian copper producer, with a market share of over 50% of the Brazilian Primary Copper market It is also Brazil’s largest copper rod supplier with growing presence in the pipe and fittings markets. Outstanding Shares Outstanding shares: 319,152,437 Treasury shares: 24,505 Total shares issued: 319,176,942 Main Shareholders – as of September 30, 2014 [The remainder of this page has been intentionally left blank] 22 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE Concepts and Definition Raw Material Copper Concentrate is primarily purchased on the international market, with Chile as the main supplier. of the Copper Concentrate purchase price is determined by international prices of metals contained and respective yields (copper, gold, silver, nickel, zinc, lead and other precious metals can be found in Copper Concentrate), subtracted from the TC/RC, or Treatment Charge (TC)/Refining Charge (RC). The TC/RC is the charge paid to the transformer for the mineral copper processing and refining into metal copper and is negotiated between suppliers and smelters, such as Paranapanema. There may also be adjustments to Copper Concentrate price based on precious metals content as well as those specific characteristics of Copper Concentrate offered, which ranges from mine to mine. Copper Scrap consists of recycled copper bought both in the local and international markets used either in the raw material mix to produce Cathode and other alloys for copper products. In 2013 the raw materials mix was 75% Copper Concentrate and 25% Copper Scrap. Production Paranapanema produces Primary Copper, Copper Products and By-products from Copper Concentrate and Copper Scrap. The Company also conducts operation of Transformation (Toll) of copper scrap received from customers into Copper Products. Primary Copper, also known as Copper Cathode, is the copper commodity in its metal form. Production process consists in converting Copper Concentrate into metal Copper. Copper Products are tubes, fittings, rods, wires, bars and others, whose main raw material are Cathodes and copper alloys and copper alloys with other nonferrous metals such as tin, lead and zinc. In addition to the cost of copper , Primary Copper requires other costs to be transformed into Copper Products, such as labor, energy, etc. By-products results from the processing of Copper Concentrate into Cathodes. The main by-products are Sulfuric Acid and Anodic Slime (material containing precious metals such as Gold and Silver), besides Slag, Oleum and Revert. Toll refers to transactions where the Company receives copper scrap from its customers and transforms it into Copper Products. Transformation costs incurred are similar to Copper Products obtained from Primary Copper. Pricing Paranapanema’s Net Revenues are derived from sales volumes and prices charged by Primary Copper, Copper Products, Toll and By-Products. The selling price of Primary Copper or Copper Cathode is established by London Metal Exchange (LME) transactions and is converted into Reais (BRL) based on the exchange rate at the time of sale closing, as well as the Cathode Premium, which is the remuneration charged by the Company to transform Copper Concentrate into Primary Copper. Copper Products selling price is determined by the mix of copper, tin, lead and zinc contained in the product (in line with those applied for Primary Copper, i.e. LME), plus Premium, value charged by Paranapanema to transform the Primary Copper into value added products. As it occurs in Primary Copper, revenues from sales of Copper Products are also impacted by the USD exchange rate, even if sales are booked for Brazilian customers. By-product prices are linked to the USD. Sulfuric Acid is quoted based on FMB (Fertilizer Market Bulletin) plus premiums or discounts, while Anodic Slime price is set based on contained precious metals. Toll average price per ton is materially lower than those of Copper Products, which Paranapanema does not incur in metal revenues or costs (copper received from customers is in the form of scrap). The Premium charged in Toll 23 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE operations are usually priced in Reais but, in some occasions USD based contracts are adjusted by the dollar exchange rate. Inventories Paranapanema Inventories are primarily comprised of commodities such as Copper, Gold, Silver, Zinc, Tin and Lead. Commodity inventories have high liquidity and monetization values that are marked by very liquid markets. Management dedicates special attention to adjusting inventories levels to operational needs and, since 4Q13, keeps a program called Stock Short to monitor inventory levels, pursuing more integration and efficiency in Supply Chain, Logistics, Industrial and Commercial on Inventories use. Adjusted EBITDA Paranapanema adjusts its EBIDTA of items called "non-recurring", which are amounts not related to Management expectations that may occur in the future to the same degree as presented in the respective period. Hedge and Hedge Accounting The Company follows a risk management policy approved by the Board of Directors, in order to prevent unexpected economic impacts from fluctuations in metal commodities prices, exchange rates and interest rates on profitability and cash flow. Paranapanema adopts various hedging strategies as a way to neutralize any (i.) disconnects between the sales price and the purchase price of metals and raw materials, (ii.) impact of changes in exchange rates on the value of assets and liabilities and the future value of revenues and costs, and (iii.) interest rate exposure, given by the annual payment amount of floating interest embedded in financial contracts. The use of derivatives is limited exclusively to hedging activities with adoption of Hedge Accounting when necessary. Adoption of Hedge Accounting will be defined by standards specific to CPC 38 and 39, which should provide at least the following: (a) the exchange risk on both financial and operational elements may adopt the hedge of the fair value or cash flow with derivatives or financial instruments; (b) commodity risk may adopt hedge of the fair value or cash flow with derivative or embedded derivatives and (c) for the interest rates risk may adopt the cash flow hedge with derivatives. The reading and interpretation of financial statements with the adoption of Hedge Accounting differ from those that do not adopt Hedge Accounting and recognize all the variations on derivatives and financial instruments as Financial Income or Losses. With the adoption of Hedge Accounting of Cash Flows there is a need to analyze the "Other Comprehensive Income" account presented in Net Worth. This account is used to record future gains and losses on hedges until the moment they actually occur, when they are recognized in the Operational Result of the respective period. In order to allocate effects of economic hedges in Gross Profit, Paranapanema has adopted Hedge Accounting of the fair value hedging of metals (copper, zinc, lead and tin) and precious metals (gold and silver) inventories. Management may implement new hedging strategies or modify current strategies, implemented parallel with Hedge Accounting. Metal Hedge The Company seeks to neutralize metal price fluctuation on Paranapanema’s income through the fair value hedge of the inventories program by using derivative contracts at stock exchanges, derivatives embedded in Copper Concentrate purchasing contracts and offsetting long and short positions. 24 3Q14 EARNINGS RELEASE The industrial cycle of the smelter causes Paranapanema to carry a "load" of physical inventory of metals and makes use of hedging instruments to protect them, in an effort to approximate metal cost value to metal price at sale moment. For hedging purposes, metal inventories represent a long position. Copper Concentrate sourcing process causes purchase value to be unknown at purchase date, a metals market practice. Values are defined according to LME parameters during months following the purchase date. This period is known as "Quotational Period" (or "QP"). This situation specific to metal markets creates a short position for Paranapanema, until the QP is defined. Due to amounts usually involved between long and short position of financial transactions, Paranapanema has a long position. To balance this position, the Company sells derivatives to create an additional short, up to the amount to neutralize the exposure. This procedure is in line with Company’s risk management policy. Exchange Rate Hedge The Company aims to permanently protect 70% to 100% of net foreign exchange exposure of the 6-12 months projected cash flow through derivative transactions, and offsetting revenues and liabilities pegged to the US Dollar (USD). Paranapanema maintains liabilities pegged to the USD (short position), mainly with suppliers and credit facilities. As a nature of copper business, future revenues are also pegged to the USD (long position). Net position perceived by Paranapanema, is long. To counteract this situation, Paranapanema sells USD Non Deliverable Forwards (NDFs), thereby reducing its USD exposure. This process is in line with the Company’s risk management policy. Effects arising from exchange rate hedge are perceived in three accounts in Financial Statements: in Financial Results for transactions settled during the period, in OCI, within Net Worth, where gains and losses of exchange rate mark-to-market variations on future income and expenses awaits transfer to Operating Revenues until they are materialized. Total Return Swap Paranapanema entered into an agreement in November 2012 with Deutsche Bank (DB) to exchange flows by which DB is long on CDI (Certificados de Depósitos Interbancários – reference daily interest rate used in Brazilian market) and short on Paranapanema’s share price, PMAM3. The Company has the opposite positions as DB.
