The main events impacting the year-on-year reduction were:

• The reduction in gross profit due to lower international oil prices;

• Lower equity income due to losses on investments in the USA from the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the Pasadena refinery.

Higher oil prices and the upturn in sales volume due to the start-up of production in Akpo, in Nigeria, increased gross profit by R$ 189 million.

The constitution of provisions for losses on investments in the USA in the 1Q-2009 also contributed to the improvement.
