Braskem reported its 1Q10 results. EBITDA was R$729 million, up 19% from 4Q09 due to better contribution margins and FX gains offsetting lower sales volumes. Net revenue increased 5% to R$4.466 billion. The global petrochemical scenario saw resin and basic petrochemical prices maintain an upward trend due to factors like higher raw material costs and strong Asian demand. Braskem also completed the acquisition of Quattor Participações and secured $1 billion in funding including $400 million in 10-year bonds. Planned investments in 2010 total R$1.617 billion and include expanding PVC production capacity in Alagoas.

3. Global Scenario
Resin and basic petrochemical prices maintained the upward trend in 1Q10
Higher raw material prices
Strong demand from Asia
Unscheduled stoppages
Lower demand for gasoline limited operations at U.S. refineries
Scheduled stoppages, operational problems and continuous use of light feedstock (crackers) help
to balance the market, which should benefit petrochemical companies in 2Q10
Key factors for second-half 2010
New capacity in Asia and Middle East could pressure industry profitability after midyear
World economy excessively dependent on government stimulus
Feedstock prices impacted by volatility in capital markets
Labor market still recovering
In Brazil, demand should post double-digit growth, accompanying GDP, while prices should follow
the trend in the international market
Thermoplastic resin market in line with 4Q09, at 1,165(a) kton, with growth expected in 2Q10
