M. Dias Branco announces its results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2014 (4Q14 and 2014), confirming its commitment to best transparency and disclosure practices in order to provide shareholders and society with the broadest and most accurate interpretation of its operations and purposes. The year of 2014 brought several challenges to the economy and business growth in Brazil. Besides the impact caused by the World Cup on the country’s economic activity, consumption slowed down, thus creating additional challenges for businesses in general. Despite the adverse macroeconomic scenario, M. Dias Branco grew by 14.3% in relation to 2013 both in terms of Ebitda and net income, reaching R$770.4 million and R$599.3 million, respectively. This higher profitability was accompanied by an increase in its share in the domestic pasta market by 0.9 p.p., reaching 28.9%, and in the cookies and crackers market by 0.1 p.p., reaching 28.1%, according to AC Nielsen’s data for 2014 in comparison to 2013. The demand for M. Dias Branco products enabled the Company to reach a sales volume of 1.72 million tonnes of food in 2014 (436,200 tonnes in 4Q14), an increase of 1.3% over 2013 (4.3% up in 4Q14 in relation to 4Q13). The cake and snacks line continued to post strong growth in sales volume, climbing by 50.0% in relation to the previous year. The Company sold 61,900 tonnes of margarine and vegetable shortening, an upturn of 6.9% on 2013 (7.5% up in 4Q14 over 4Q13), while wheat flour and bran sales volume grew by 3.6% (8.1% up in 4Q14 over 4Q13), reaching 764,000 tonnes (192,100 tonnes in 4Q14). Pasta sales volume came to 359,800 tonnes in the year, a growth of 1.4% (2.9% up in 4Q14 on 4Q13), while cookies and crackers posted a sales volume of 525,400 tonnes, a slight decrease of 0.4% in 2014 over 2013 (1.2% up in 4Q14 on 4Q13). M. Dias Branco’s net revenue totaled R$4.6 billion at the end of 2014 (R$1.17 billion in 4Q14), an increase of 6.2% in relation to 2013 (3.3% up in 4Q14 on 4Q13). Both in 4Q14 and 2014, the proportional reduction in operating expenses and lower pressure on raw material costs played an essential role in the improvement of M. Dias Branco’s results. Related to raw material costs, the decrease in global wheat prices, due to a good supply-demand scenario, lowered the pressure on this important cost element. On the operating expenses front, it is worth noting that the management restructured the Company’s sales and administrative teams to ensure greater efficiency in its internal processes. As a result, the Ebitda margin stood at 16% in 4Q14 and 16.8% in 2014, moving up by 3 p.p. and 1.2 p.p. in relation to 4Q13 and 2013, respectively. Net margin reached 14.7% in 4Q14 and 13.1% in 2014, expanding by 3 p.p. and 0.9 p.p., respectively. M. Dias Branco’s operating cash flow totaled R$646.1 million in 2014, which contributed to reach the cash and cash equivalents of R$447.3 million at the end of 2014. In the same period, M. Dias Branco invested R$407.9 million in organic growth, allocated to the expansion, modernization and maintenance of its industrial infrastructure in order to meet the expected growing demand for its products, the start-up of new product lines and the need for raw materials for internal consumption (vertical integration). All information presented above, which will be further detailed in this release, shows that, even in a scenario of reduced economic growth, M. Dias Branco has been able to continue to expand its activities, while growing its revenues, sales volumes and profitability. Management remains optimistic about M. Dias Branco's performance, fully aware of the challenges to come in 2015 and following years related to implementing its strategy and improving its results, while remaining firmly committed to maximizing value for its shareholders.

NET REVENUE Net revenue grew by 3.3% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, primarily reflecting the 4.3% upturn in sales volume as a result of initiatives implemented at the points of sale and incentives offered to the sales team and clients. Nevertheless, when comparing 4Q14 with 3Q14, sales volume declined by 3.6% due to the fact that the last quarter of the year has less business days in view of the year-end holidays. When comparing 2014 with 2013, net revenue increased by 6.2%, mainly due to the higher average price of several products, especially cookies and crackers, pasta and wheat flour and bran.

Note1: Sundry items represented 0.1% of net operating revenue in 4Q13 and 0.2% in 2013. Note2: Exports corresponded to 0.4% of revenue net of discounts in 2014.

COOKIES AND CRACKERS The 1.1% increase in net revenue from cookies and crackers between 4Q14 and 4Q13 was mainly driven by the 1.2% upturn in the 4Q14 sales volume, especially in the Northeast and Southeast regions. In relation to 3Q14, net revenue from cookies and crackers declined by 5.5%, primarily reflecting the 4.2% drop in sales volume, due to a decline in demand, which usually takes place at the end of the year, and the adverse macroeconomic scenario in Brazil, especially as of the second half of 2014. The growth of 4.0% in net revenue recorded in 2014 versus 2013 mainly reflected the 4.3% increase in the average price. It is important to note that M. Dias Branco strongly invests in innovation, developing new products based on market trends. In 4Q14, gross revenue totaled R$20.9 million, with 61 new types of cookies and crackers launched in the last 24 months.

PASTA

Net revenue from pasta moved up by 3.8% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, due to the 2.9% increase in sales volume, led by the common and instant pasta market in the Northeast region.

When comparing 4Q14 with 3Q14, net revenue from pasta dropped 0.8%, reflecting the decrease of 1.7% in the average price. However, the upturn of 7.7% in net revenue from pasta in 2014 in relation to 2013 was a reflection of the 6.1% increase in market prices, associated with the 1.4% upturn in sales volume.

WHEAT FLOUR AND BRAN Net revenue from wheat flour and bran grew by 9.2% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, primarily due to the 8.1% increase in sales volume.

When comparing 4Q14 with 3Q14, net revenue from wheat flour and bran fell by 3.4%, reflecting the 5.3% decline in sales volume, led by flour for industrial consumption, and the 1.8% increase in the average price, driven by changes in the product mix. The growth of 10.9% in net revenue in 2014 versus 2013 was a result of the increases of 6.6% in the average price and 3.6% in sales volume.

MARGARINE AND VEGETABLE SHORTENING

Net revenue from margarine and vegetable shortening climbed by 4.2% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, chiefly due to a positive market response to M. Dias Branco’s brand repositioning, which consisted in reducing average prices by 3.2%, after the increases in the first half of 2014, thus ensuring a 7.5% growth in sales volume. When comparing 4Q14 with 3Q14, net revenue fell by 1.1%, mainly due to minor adjustments to (lowering) average prices. The upturn of 5.4% in net revenue in 2014 versus 2013 was primarily a reflection of the 6.9% increase in sales volume, especially in the Northeast region, which continues to account for most of the sales volume.

COST OF GOODS SOLD

COGS as a percentage of net revenue recorded a drop of 0.7 p.p. in 4Q14 versus 4Q13 and 0.2 p.p. in 2014 versus 2013, primarily a result of the following factors:

Reduction of 10.0% in the average cost of wheat consumed in the production process in 4Q14 over 4Q13, and of 4.0% in 2014 over 2013, mainly resulting from the decline in wheat prices in 2014 as well as due to our acquisition strategy and large storage capacity, which help us increase efficiency in the process of acquisition of this raw material.

Increase of 2.3% in the average cost of vegetable oil consumed in the production process in 4Q14 over 4Q13, and of 7.6% in 2014 over 2013, mainly resulting from higher market prices in reais of this raw material.

Reduction of 8.7% in the average cost of sugar consumed in the production process in 4Q14 versus 4Q13. When comparing 2014 with 2013, there was an increase of 3.1%, resulting from higher market prices for the sale of sugar between September 2013 and August 2014.

Increase of 4.0% in M. Dias Branco’s average cookies, crackers and pasta packaging cost in 4Q14 over 4Q13, and of 8.3% in 2014 over 2013. Despite recent falls in oil prices, in 2014 there was an increase in the prices practiced by the petrochemical industry for selling the raw material used in packaging manufacture.

Increase in the labor costs both in 4Q14 over 4Q13 and in 2014 over 2013, primarily due to wage increases following collective bargaining agreement and the higher number of factory workers, reflecting the introduction of new production lines, which are not yet fully operating.

Increase in manufacturing general costs both in 4Q14 over 4Q13 and in 2014 over 2013, primarily due to higher energy prices and expenses with maintenance services and parts used to conserve machines and equipment in the production lines.

GROSS PROFIT

M. Dias Branco’s gross profit reached R$449.9 million in 4Q14, an increase of 5.7% in relation to 4Q13 and a reduction of 0.9% over 3Q14. In 2014, gross profit came to R$1,724.6 million, a growth of 5.8% over 2013. It is important to note that gross profit includes subsidies for state investments totaling R$43.8 million in 4Q14 (R$179.5 million in 2014), which are recorded in the income statement in accordance with accounting pronouncement CPC 7 – Government Subsidies.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue posted a decrease of 1.9 p.p. in 4Q14 over 4Q13 (2.6 p.p. up over 3Q14), and of 1.3 p.p. in 2014 over 2013. Considering the volume sold in the year (1,715,600 tonnes), operating expenses by tonne sold were 0.8% lower than in 2013, reflecting M. Dias Branco’s efforts to improve its operational efficiency. In 4Q14, selling expenses fell by 2.0% over 4Q13 (1.0 p.p. down as a percentage of net revenue), due to lower expenses with market surveys and trips and lodging. When comparing 4Q14 with 3Q14, selling expenses moved up by 2.9%, mainly due to the increase in extra monies granted to clients and expenses with sales promoters during the initiatives implemented at stores that serve end consumers directly in order to obtain a better exposure for our products. When comparing 2014 with 2013, selling expenses climbed by 1.8%, (0.5% up by tonne sold), primarily due to wage increases following collective bargaining agreement, advertising costs and expenses with logistics.

Administrative expenses dropped by 6.8% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, primarily due to lower personnel costs and expenses with travelling and lodging, influenced by Vitarella’s integration process. In 2014 versus 2013, administrative expenses dropped by 3.3%, due to the previously mentioned reasons. When comparing 4Q14 with 3Q14, administrative expenses moved up by 15.6%, primarily due to the upturn in the granting of success fees, third-party services and donations to social projects supported by M. Dias Branco.

FINANCIAL RESULT

To provide a better understanding of the variations in financial results, we report and analyze exchange variations and swap operations in the period separately from financial income and expenses, as the following table shows:

Financial revenues surged by 50.0% in 4Q14 over 4Q13, mainly due to the higher volume and return from investments. When comparing 2014 with 2013, financial revenues increased by 38.3%, due to the previously mentioned reasons, while financial expenses fell by 20.5%, reflecting M. Dias Branco’s lower debt after the settlement of debentures in November 2013. It is worth mentioning that M. Dias Branco maintains swap contracts, through which the foreign exchange risk plus a pre-fixed rate is swapped for a percentage of the CDI rate to hedge input imports and fixed assets, which are recognized at fair value and whose results are booked under financial result.

INCOME AND SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION TAXES

The 29.0% increase in income and social contribution taxes in 2014 in relation to 2013 was due to the upturn in tax calculation base. Note that impacts from subsidies for state investments, recognized in the income by force of CPC 07, are not included in this tax calculation base.

Federal tax incentives in the form of a reduction in the income tax (IRPJ) grew by 18.7% in 2014 over 2013. It is worth mentioning that the federal tax incentives granted to the wheat crushing unit in Salvador (BA) ended on December 31, 2013. Note that goodwill amortization was prohibited as of January 2009. However, this procedure has not changed the tax effects from the goodwill to be amortized under the Transitional Tax Regime (RTT) provided for by Law 11,941/2009. In this context, as required by CPC 32 – Income Taxes (CVM Resolution 599/2009), M. Dias Branco constitutes deferred tax obligations from this amortization under income and social tax expenses only for fiscal purposes, even though it does not believe in the possibility of future realization of this obligation. Both in 4Q14 and 4Q13, M. Dias Branco recorded R$5.9 million under income tax (IRPJ) and social contribution on net income (CSLL).
