Latam gross revenue had a negative exchange rate impact between 2Q23 vs. 3Q23, due to the 7.9% appreciation of the Real against the Chilean Peso. On a Local currency view, Revenues showed slight growth. The good result in profitability of the operation in Chile stands out, which benefited from services for large clients in the mining, engineering and steel industry

In<br> Europe, we saw a quarterly drop in revenue, due to lower industrial demand and fewer railway<br> emergencies and coast guard services.

On<br> the positive side, we have become emergency response suppliers for data center companies<br> in Europe.
The<br> operation has shown satisfactory profitability, there was an emphasis on winning contracts<br> with better margins in industrial services, compensating for the drop in revenue.
The<br> region puts Ambipar in a position to capture contracts across EMEA.

Costs remained stable as a percentage of revenue when comparing 3Q23 vs. 2Q23, reflecting the company's business mix. There were no highlights in the composition of costs in this quarter. 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.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit grew over 3Q22. Gross margin for 3Q23 reached 30.0%, a result of 1.0 pp. higher than 3Q22 and up by 4.2 pp. compared to 2Q23. The improvement in gross margin in relation to 2Q23, is due to better performance in Brazil and Canada.

It is worth noting that part of the margin increase in 3Q23 is due to the accounting adjustment to IFRS 16 carried out in this period and will not be recurring.

CAPEX RESPONSE

In 3Q23, addition of Fixed Assets was R$75.6 million. In Response, we invested in Latin America in the new training camp in Chile and in Brazil, we acquired equipment to support the expansion of the operation, mainly for air services.
