1Q12 Results
General, administrative and operating expenses (G&A) totaled R$ 49.3 million in 1Q12. The qoq increment of R$ 5.9 million mainly reflects the expansion of the allowance for doubtful debts (ADD) of R$ 4.5 million in the Heavy Construction and Rental divisions.
EBITDA
Cash generation, as measured by EBITDA, reached R$ 86.2 million in 1Q12, a new quarterly record, with 63.2% yoy growth and 12.8% qoq growth. The accumulated EBITDA in the last twelve months ended March 31, 2012, LTM EBITDA, totaled R$ 271.5 million. The EBITDA margin was 43.3% in 1Q12, being the highest quarterly EBITDA margin in the last three years. The qoq increment of R$ 9.8 million in EBITDA is explained by the increase of R$ 5.6 million in net revenues, and by the reduction of R$ 10.1 million in COGS, partially offset by the increment of R$ 5.9 million in G&A, all excluding depreciation.
Net Earnings
Net earnings amounted to R$ 32.7 million in 1Q12, with 47.2% yoy and 10.6% qoq expansion. The qoq increase of R$ 3.1 million in net earnings is explained by the rise in EBITDA (R$ 9.8 million), partially offset by the increase in the amount in taxes payable (R$ 3.3 million), depreciation (R$ 1.9 million) and negative net financial result (R$ 1.4 million). The net financial result was a negative R$ 11.3 million in 1Q12, against negative R$ 9.9 million in 4Q11, given the higher net debt in the period.
ROIC
The ROIC reached 15.1% in 1Q12, against 14.2% in 4Q11 and 13.8% in 1Q11. The improvement in ROIC reflects the recovery of the demand in the heavy construction market and the maturing of the new branches opened at the end of 2010 in the Jahu and Rental divisions.
Debt Indicators
As of March 31, 2012, Mills total debt was R$ 414.7 million, against R$ 410.9 million as of December 31, 2011. At the end of the (f) 1Q12 our net debt position was R$ 384.4 million, versus R$ 375.8 million at the end of 4Q11. Our debt is 20% short-term and 80% long-term, with an average maturity of 2.9 years, at an average cost of CDI+1.2%. In terms of currency, 100% of Mills debt is in Brazilian reais. Our leverage, as measured by the net debt/LTM EBITDA, was at 1.4x by March 31, 2012. The total debt/enterprise value 12.5%, while interest coverage, as measured by the LTM EBITDA/LTM interest payments, was 8.9x.

Capex
Mills invested R$ 58.4 million in organic growth in 1Q12. The Rental division was responsible for 44.5% of the capex of 1Q12, Jahu for 26.3%, Heavy Construction for 15.5% and Industrial Services for 5.5%. The 2012 budget includes investments of R$ 127 million, below our medium-term sustainable capex, in order to return our leverage to the target of 1.0x. It is worth noting that, if the scenario is positive, we would be in a position to expand our investments during 2012. For further information, refer to press release Mills to invest R$ 127 million in 2012 of November 29, 2011.
Rohr
In 2011, Rohrs net revenue amounted to R$ 156.2 million, with a 13.1% yoy reduction. Net earnings were R$ 9.6 million, versus R$ 19.8 million in 2010. Cash generation, measured by EBITDA, totaled R$ 30.1 million, a 37.3% yoy reduction, while the EBITDA margin was 19.3% against 27.0% in 2010, both negatively impacted by the weak demand in the heavy construction market, Rohrs main market, as from September, 2010.
1Q12 Results
At Rohr's General Shareholders Meeting, the payment of remuneration to shareholders relating to the fiscal year of 2011 was approved at a gross value of R$ 5.4 million, as interest on capital, 27.5% of which is due to Mills and has already been recorded in Mills 4Q11 results, since this was deliberated, ad-referendum of the General Meeting, on December 22, 2011. It is important to highlight that as we do not have significant influence in the administration of the company, Mills does not record Rohrs results in its financial statements. Only dividends and interest on capital impact Millss earnings in the respective periods of recognition of our right.
1Q12 Results
EBITDA reached R$ 18.5 million in 1Q12. Excluding the ADD effect, EBITDA would be R$ 21.1 million, versus R$ 19.5 million in 4Q11. The EBITDA margin, ex-ADD, was 53.7% in 1Q12, against 54.0% in 4Q11. ROIC, ex-ADD, was 19.3% in 1Q12, versus 17.5% in 4Q11.
Jahu
The net revenue of the Jahu division totaled R$ 52.5 million in 1Q12, 79.6% higher yoy. Revenue continued at the same level compared to the previous quarter, since the growth of the rental revenue offset the decline in sales revenue, which returned, in this quarter, to its normal level of approximately 10% of the divisions net revenue. Rental revenue reached a new quarterly record, R$ 45.3 million, as a result of the maturing of the investments made in the second half of 2011. Rental revenue increased by R$ 5.0 million qoq, reflecting the rise in rented volumes. The utilization rate remained at the normal level. There was a qoq decrease in COGS, ex-depreciation, due to lower costs of sales as a result of the lower volume of sales in the period, while G&A showed a slight increment, albeit lower than the COGS reduction, enabling the expansion of the divisions EBITDA margin. EBITDA reached R$ 26.3 million in 1Q12, a new quarterly record, with 10.2% qoq growth and more than twice the amount for the same period in the previous year. The EBITDA margin was 50.1%, against 45.5% in 4Q11, being the highest quarterly EBITDA margin in the last two years. The maturing of the new branches and the operational leverage continue to contribute to the expansion of the EBITDA margin of the division. ROIC was 15.6% in 1Q12, versus 16.3% in 4Q11.
Industrial Services
Net revenues for the Industrial Services division amounted to R$ 50.9 million in 1Q12, in line with 4Q11 and 1Q11, reflecting the strategy of improving the profitability of the services offered in this division. The oil and gas and petrochemical industries accounted together for 72% of the revenue for the division in 1Q12. There was a qoq reduction in COGS items, ex-depreciation, while G&A showed an increase, although this was less than the reduction in COGS, enabling the EBITDA margin to expand from 4.7% in 4Q11 to 12.1% in 1Q12, in line with the figure of 12.2% obtained in 1Q11. EBITDA amounted to R$ 6.2 million in 1Q12, against R$ 2.3 million in 4Q11 and R$ 6.1 million in 1Q11. ROIC reached 7.5% in 1Q12, versus a negative 1.2% in the last quarter and 9.6% in 1Q11.
Rental
The net revenue of the Rental division totaled R$ 56.5 million in 1Q12, a new quarterly record, with a 67.4% yoy growth. Between quarters, there was a slight increase in revenue, as rental revenue growth offset the decrease in sales revenue. Rental revenue reached a new quarterly record, R$ 50.5 million, as a result of the maturing of the investments made in the last quarter of 2011. Rental revenue expanded by R$ 3.3 million qoq, with the increase of rented volumes contributing R$ 3.9 million. The utilization rate remained at the normal level. There was a qoq decrease in COGS, ex-depreciation, mainly due to lower volume of sales in the period. G&A showed a slight increase, due to the expansion of ADD in the amount of R$ 2.3 million in 1Q12, mostly related to one client which failed to honor its payment obligation and, consequently, we requested a legal collection of this liability and recognized all the total balance of such obligation in our allowance for doubtful debts.
1Q12 Results
We estimate that, given the fragmented client base, the variety of their sizes, and the geographic expansion process, the allowance for doubtful debts should represent approximately 2% of the net revenue of the Rental division. EBITDA amounted to R$ 34.9 million in 1Q12, a new quarterly record, with 84.6% yoy and 13.5% qoq growth, respectively. The EBITDA margin was 61.8% in 1Q12, being the highest EBITDA margin in the last three years. The maturing of the new branches and the operational leverage continue to contribute to the expansion of the EBITDA margin of this division. ROIC was 20.3% in 1Q12, versus 18.6% in 4Q11.
