Comments from the CEO
Renato Alves Vale: "It is with great satisfaction that we are
reporting the results obtained by CCR in 3Q12 to our shareholders,
the market, employees, users and our various interested
audience.
"In line with the trend of industrial production that began in
July, rising 1.5% for the period comprising July to August 2012,
our traffic registered 3% increase compared to 3Q11, demonstrating
strong recovery that, associated with the continuous decline in
interest rates contributed to improving our financial results and,
consequently, to the 18.9% growth in our net income, reaching R$
316.8 million during this quarter.
"Supported by the strong performance and our solid financial
position, we are continuing to follow our commitment to distribute
dividends to shareholders and we were able to initiate a payout of
R$ 0.54 per share on October 31, 2012 so that, added to the
dividends paid in April this year, CCR reached more than R$ 1
billion distributed to shareholders in 2012.
"It is important to highlight that 3Q12 was notable for the
conclusion of the acquisition process initiated in April 2012 of
two new businesses: the Airport of San José, in Costa Rica, and the
airport of Curaçao, in the Dutch Antilles, in continuity with our
qualified growth strategy, always based on capital discipline.
"We continue to be encouraged by the excellent prospects for the
future, due to the promising economic scenario in Brazil and the
expectation of various opportunities for growth, especially due to
the World Cup soccer championships (2014) and the Olympic Games
(2016) in Rio de Janeiro, always prioritizing value generation to
our shareholders and contributing to the promotion of sustainable
development through the improvement in infrastructure."
