LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
To our shareholders
In 3Q2023, Ambipar Response (hereinafter referred to as "Response" or "the Company") continued executing the growth plan and integration efforts of its acquisitions.
Results
Our revenues and margins have performed satisfactory across regions. Notably, we have executed cleaning and fire fighting for the agricultural industry across the US, Canada and Brazil. We have also been developing great capabilities in tank cleaning both onshore and offshore.
We are satisfied with the margins presented YTD on Response. There are still pockets for margin improvements in the longer term in US and Canada. In Brazil we kept investing our time and efforts on improving cross-selling and growing upon the existing asset base.
Consolidation, operations and integrations
During 3Q23 we turned 5 companies into SAP, and we keep on deploying our proprietary software to induce cross-selling opportunities (SIGA). Our goal is to create a business system as efficient as possible, that optimizes for our companies and allows them to become ever stronger as part of the Response ecosystem.
The opportunity to consolidate a fragmented market where clients demand reliability, stand by capacity and quality of service is strong across our regions. We’ll invest organically and, probably to a lesser extent, inorganically, to develop our reach within the territories and supply chains we already provide for.
As usual, we thank shareholders for their belief in our mission and support on the multiyear journey to consolidate the hazardous services landscape thus minimizing human impact on the environment.
Sincerely,
Your Chairman of the board

The largest cost components – Personnel, Third Parties, Maintenance, Fuel and Travel – represented more than 85% of total costs.
Rental costs were reversed this quarter, due to the reclassification of expenditure relating to 2023 of operations in North America, which did not adopt the IFRS 16 standard.

In 3Q23, Ambipar Response presented a negative net financial result of R$42.4 million, R$5.9 million higher resulting from the increase in interest rates and the increase in debt, compared to 3Q22. The debt increase was mainly due to the capital allocation on capex and M&A.

Ambipar Response registered net income of R$53.7 million in 3Q23, with a net margin of 8.4%.
Compared to the same quarter of the previous year, net income grew by 53%, with a reduction of 0.4 p.p. in net margin. Profit growth derives from the growth in operations, while the drop in margin is explained by the negative financial result and the contribution of business segments and regions to the consolidated result.
The portion of net income allocated to non-controlling shareholders grew in 3Q23, as we made several acquisitions of companies throughout the year of 2022 where founding partners remain in the business as minority shareholders. This way of carrying out acquisitions ensures that we maintain expertise and continuity in the acquired companies, and it is a form of long-term alignment.

Return on Invested Capital minus intangible assets (“operating ROIC”) allows for an approximate estimate of the return on investments made in operations.
Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”), which incorporates intangible assets into the invested capital base, mainly composed of goodwill paid for acquisitions.
M&A investment, at first, presents a lower ROIC, due to goodwill paid on acquisition. Once acquisitions become part of our operations, the expected return on the marginal investment made tends to follow the Operating ROIC, since the invested capital is allocated to the acquiree's operations and does not include goodwill.
In the medium term, therefore, we expect convergence between the company's ROIC and the operational ROIC.
