MESSAGE FROM MANAGEMENT
"The second quarter of 2012 was one of expansion for Triunfo Participacoes e Investimentos. Our existing operations in toll-roads, port operations and energy generation all posted strong growth, and we successfully managed expenses in these areas. These two factors allowed us to report an increase of 21.7% in Net Revenue ex construction and 24.4% in adjusted EBITDA.
On the new business side, our cabotage unit, Maestra, continues to ramp, handling 10,023 TEUs in the quarter; we expect the business to reach break-even EBITDA in 2H12. Also in the second quarter, Triunfo was part of the consortium that signed a 30-year concession contract for the expansion, maintenance and operation of the International Airport of Campinas. This high-quality asset has the potential to be the best and most efficient Latin America's airports.
As we move into the second half of 2012, we are confident that Triunfo's high quality assets, operational expertise and project pipeline, combined with Brazil's growing economy and pent-up demand for infrastructure, will help us continue to grow and generate cash."
