Earnings Release 2Q12




                                 MMX – Results for 2nd Quarter 2012


    Rio de Janeiro, August 13th, 2012 – MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. (“Company” or “MMX”)
    (Bovespa: MMXM3) releases its results for the second quarter of 2012. Financial and operating
    information below is presented on a consolidated basis in accordance with international
    accounting standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), in
    thousands of Reais, except where indicated otherwise.


    This was a quarter of recovery for MMX operations after a weak beginning of the year due to the
    effects of rain in the region of Minas Gerais. In the period, the Company had an Ebitda of R$ 13.9
    million and net revenue of R$ 203.6 million. The highlights of the Company’s second quarter
    were: (i) obtaining the Installation License (LI) for the expansion of the Serra Azul Unit, which
    enabled the beginning of the expansion work and construction of new processing plant and (ii)
    resumption of the navigability of the River Paraguay, allowing the shipping of iron ore from
    Corumbá System to export market. However, it is worth noting that the uncertainties
    surrounding Europe and instability regarding the behavior of China's economy negatively
    impacted the global prices of iron ore.


    "At the beginning of this year, MMX sales and operations were greatly affected by natural
    phenomena, especially heavy rains, that interfered in our industrial activity. In the second
    quarter the situation was normalized and production reached approximately 2 million tons in the
    period. In April, MMX received the Installation License (LI) and immediately started work on the
    expansion of Serra Azul Unit and the construction of a new processing plant, which will be
    capable of producing 29 million tons of iron ore per year, using state-of-the-art technology. The
    Serra Azul Unit will have integrated logistics solutions, a crucial step for MMX to consolidate its
    strategy to become a competitive mining company in the international market" said Guilherme
    Escalhão, CEO and Investor Relations Officer for MMX.




                                                                                                     1

    Economic Context, Scenario and Outlook for the Mining Sector

    The average price of iron ore with 62% Fe delivered in China in 1Q12 was 21.5% below the
    average price recorded in the same period in the previous year and only 1.2% above the price
    reached in 4Q11. This modest price recovery in 1Q12 was possible thanks to the growth in
    utilization rates in steel mills combined with a reduced supply in the transoceanic iron ore
    market.


    In 2Q12, however, pessimism in relation to the world economy, particularly in Europe and China,
    had a negative effect on the international market for iron ore.


    The economic environment in Europe, which has been unfavorable since 2011, remained
    unstable with the inability of governments to prevent the slowing down of the economy, in
    addition to the fear that the crisis began in Greece would affect other debtor countries, such as
    Italy and Spain.


                                                                                                    2
Earnings Release 2Q12



    In this quarter, the major indexes published by the Chinese Government indicated that the
    growth rate of the country’s economy would continue to slow down, leading to a reduction in the
    apparent consumption of steel and, consequently, of iron ore. The fall in industrial production,
    coupled with the use of stockpiled steel, interrupted the growth trend in Chinese steel production
    which stabilized at approximately 60 million tons per month. This movement triggered a
    reduction of Chinese imports of iron ore at the amount of approximately 4%, when compared the
    second quarter with the first quarter of this year.


    At the same time as falling demand, the supply of iron ore in the transoceanic market increased
    considerably in this second quarter. The main producers in Australia and Brazil were supplying
    the market in an attempt to recover lost sales due to climatic effects that affected the two
    countries in the first quarter.


    The final effect, considering the increased supply combined with falling demand, was the
    reduction of iron ore prices on the spot market by approximately 10% between the beginning of
    April and the end of June 2012, in addition to a reduction of approximately 20.5% when
    compared the average price charged in the 2Q12 against the 2Q11 (iron ore 62% Fe CFR China).


    Long Term Outlook
    Despite a not so optimistic scenario for the global economy in the coming months, it is believed
    that the European market will be able to resolve the issues related to the debt crisis of the Euro
    Zone. At the same time, the Chinese Government also has adopted some measures to resume
    growth.


    In this scenario, it is expected that the global production of steel will remain stable throughout
    2012 and resume growth as from 2013, although at lower rates than in the past. Given that
    Chinese producers will continue struggling to expand their production of iron ore in view of
    increased costs and decreasing quality, it is expected growth in the demand for imported iron
    ore.


    In this scenario, MMX stands out for its solid, integrated project, with a guarantee of certified
    mineral resources and reserves, long-term access to railway infrastructure, besides the Sudeste
    Superport, MMX’s private port which is now under construction, for shipping of its own
    production.

    In the second quarter, the total volume produced by MMX was approximately 2.0 million tons of
    iron ore, an increase of 29% compared to 1Q12 and a drop of 7% in relation to the volume
    registered in the same period of the previous year.


    In 2Q12, the production in the Sudeste System was of 1.4 million tons, 13% above the volume
    recorded in 1Q12 and 12% below the registered in 2Q11.


    In this quarter, the Corumbá System resumed its pace of production, which had been impacted
    by restricted river navigability on the Paraguay River in 1Q12, and recorded production of iron
    ore of 631 thousand tons, 90% and 7% above 1Q12 and 2Q11, respectively.

    In 2Q12, the sales volume of the Company was of 1.7 million tons of iron ore, 22% higher than
    the previous quarter. In comparison with the same period of the previous year there was an 18%
    retraction. The domestic market absorbed 64% of that amount and the remainder was directed
    to external market.


    Sudeste System
    Sales in the Sudeste System totaled 1.2 million tons of iron ore, which is in line with the
    performance recorded in 1Q12 and 27% less than 2Q11. From the total sales, 86% were
    addressed to the domestic market, represented mainly by pig iron producers, steelmakers and
    large mining companies. The remaining 14% were exported through the CSN Port, in Itaguaí,
    which was made in a single shipment. In this quarter, the Company was able to maintain the
    export level of the previous quarter, but in comparison with the same period in the previous
                                                                                                 4
Earnings Release 2Q12



    year, a reduction was observed. In relation to the 2Q11, there was one less shipment addressed
    to exportation, which resulted in the difference in sales volume between 2Q12 and 2Q11.


    Corumbá System
    In 2Q12, the Corumbá System sold 547 thousand tons of iron ore, performing 138% above 1Q12
    and 13% above 2Q11. More than 80% of such amount was addressed for export and the rest
    was sold on the domestic market. The return to normal water levels on the Paraguay River,
    allowing navigation of barges carrying iron ore to the port in Argentina, was essential for the
    recovery of sales in this quarter.


    Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”)

    In 2Q12, MMX recorded COGS of R$ 90.6 million. The COGS/ton this quarter had an average
    value of R$ 53.29/ton, in line with the previous quarter. In this quarter, the production cost was
    impacted by the effect of the provision of the Tax on Control, Supervision and Monitoring of
    Activities related to Research Mining, Exploration and Exploitation of Mineral Resources ("TFRM"),
    enacted by the State of Minas Gerais, at the amount of R$ 2.17/ton. It is important to emphasize
    that, even considering this provision for the payment of the TFRM, the COGS/ton for 2Q12 was
    8% below the 2Q11.

    The G&A consolidated of MMX in 2Q12 was of R$ 37.5 million, 2% less than the recorded on
    1Q12 and growth of 33% when compared to 2Q11.The G&A of the Controlling Entity in the 2Q12
    was impacted by an increase in the provision for the stock option plan when compared to 1Q12.
    This increase results mainly from the growth of the management team to support the Company's
    expansion plan.

    In 2Q12, the sale expenses of the Company, mainly those related to logistics costs for the export
    of iron ore, totaled R$ 69.7 million. In relation to 1Q12 there was an increase of 46% and a
    reduction of 5% of such expenses in comparison with 2Q11. The increase was due to resumption
    of sales at Corumbá, as explained above. Sale expenses include: (i) the port tariff for CSN, (ii)
    port charges in Ladário (Corumbá) and in Argentina, (iii) road transport from the Serra Azul Unit
    to the railway terminal (valid for export and part of the sales for the internal market) and (iv)
    MRS tariffs for the transportation of ore produced in the Sudeste System to the port.


    Ebitda
    MMX recorded a consolidated Ebitda of R$ 13.9 million in 2Q12, a 231% increase in comparison

    The Sudeste System recorded an Ebitda of R$ 26.7 million in 2Q12, a 9% reduction compared
    with 1Q12 and 64% reduction compared with 2Q11. The result of this quarter was influenced by:
    (i) reduction in the weighted average of the price of iron ore resulting from deceleration of the
    global market, partially offset by an 11% increase in the average exchange rate compared with
    1Q12 and (ii) provision for TFRM, which impacted COGS in the period. In 2Q12, the Ebitda
    margin for the Sudeste System remained in line with 1Q12.


    For the Corumbá System, 2Q12 Ebitda was of R$ 10.3 million. This result was due to higher
    sales volume in the period, combined with an increase in the average dollar value when
    compared to 1Q12.
                                                                                                   6
Earnings Release 2Q12




    The Sudeste Superport, under construction in Sepetiba Bay (in Itaguaí-RJ), recorded negative
    Ebitda of R$ 610 thousand, given its current phase of deployment. In relation to 2Q11, the
    comparison does not apply, because, the port started to be recorded in MMX's results as from its
    purchase dated as of May 2011.


    Financial Result

    MMX's financial result in 2Q12 was negative at R$ 411.6 million, of which we highlight: (i) R$ 5.9
    million in financial income, (ii) R$ 186.1 million from the sum of financial expenses with the
    adjustment of long-term liabilities represented by present amounts of the expected payment flow
    of royalties to the holders of securities of variable compensation (MMXM11) and (iii) R$ 231.4
    million negative exposure to exchange variations, mainly from long-term liabilities represented

    Net Income

    In 2Q12, the net income was negative at the amount of R$ 391.6 million, mainly impacted by the
    devaluation of the Real and the consequent negative effect on long-term liabilities. It is worth
    noting that such effect is accounting only with no cash effect on the Company.


    Cash, Debt and Acquisitions

    Cash

    Net position:

    The cash position at the end of 2Q12 was R$ 355 million, distributed as follows: (i) R$ 219
    million in short-term investments with high liquidity, remunerated at a charge-free rate
    equivalent to 101.5% of the CDI (Interbank Offered Rate) marked to market at 101.9% effective
    interest rate and (ii) R$ 136 million in cash and banks. The Company's cash reduced during this
    period, mainly due to: (i) investment in the Sudeste Superport construction work in the amount
    of R$ 180 million and (ii) investments in the Serra Azul Project in the amount of R$ 120 million.

                                                                                                                 7

    Debt:
    In the second quarter of 2012, MMX had total financial debt of R$ 2.1 billion, being R$ 696
    million related to short-term debts, and R$ 1.4 billion to long-term debts. Drawdowns from
    BNDES to finance the Sudeste Superport contributed to the increase in debt of R$ 37.8 million.
    In addition, the following borrowings and amortizations occurred: (i) new short-term debts in
    Export Contract Financing totaling US$ 85 million, (ii) long-term debt of US$ 30 million and R$

    debt in Brazilian Reais was of 60 months. The weighted average cost of dollar-denominated debt
    in 2Q12 was 6.12% p.a., an improvement in relation to 1Q12, which was 6.29% p.a., plus
    exchange variation in US dollars. The average cost of debt in Reais, composed essentially of
    BNDES credit lines, was 8.17% p.a.

     Total                       115.4


    Investments
    The main focuses for MMX investments are currently: continuation of the expansion work at the
    Serra Azul Unit operations initiated in 2Q12 and completion of the Sudeste Superport
    construction work, which will begin operating next year. In a second stage, the Company will
    return its focus to the development of new projects, such as Pau de Vinho, Bom Sucesso and
    Chile.


    Serra Azul
    In 2Q12, continuing the development of the Serra Azul Unit project, MMX started the expansion
    work immediately after obtaining the Installation License in April of this year.


    In July 2012, as a subsequent event to the closing of the quarter, MMX informed the market that
    it had received approval, in an EGM, to complete the acquisition of PortX by MMX.


    The iron ore produced at Serra Azul will be exported through the Sudeste Superport, which,
    combined with the MRS rail network, gives the project unique characteristics in terms of
    integrated logistics and location. The construction of the Sudeste Superport is currently well
    advanced in the municipality of Itaguaí (RJ) and is projected as a private mixed-use port terminal
    with capacity to transport up to 50 million tons of iron ore per year, in a first phase, which may
    be expanded in the future to up to 100 million tons per year.




                                                                                                    9

    Sudeste Superport
    The Sudeste Superport will contribute significantly to the expansion and integration of the Serra
    Azul Unit. The beginning of its operations, starting next year, will give MMX an opportunity to
    expand its exports, a strategy that will ensure greater margins when combined with the higher
    prices charged in the international market and lower costs, guaranteed by its integrated logistics.


    Continuing the implementation of the 50 million ton project, the civil construction work at the
    Sudeste Superport is developing in four fronts:

    Sul – MMX has installed capacity to produce 10.8 million tons of iron ore per year. MMX is also
    present in Rio de Janeiro, with the Sudeste Superport, which is being built in Sepetiba Bay. MMX
    also owns iron ore mining rights in Chile and in Bom Sucesso (MG).The goal of the company is to
    increase its installed capacity to more than 40 million tons of iron ore per year. Currently, MMX’s
    main investment is the expansion of the Serra Azul Unit (MG). In an area adjacent to its
    operations in Serra Azul, MMX will operate the Pau de Vinho Mine which should produce 8 million
    tons of iron ore per year. For further information, visit the site at: http://www.mmx.com.br/ri.

Microsoft word mmx earnings release 2 q12 versão final - ingles

  • 1. Earnings Release 2Q12 MMX – Results for 2nd Quarter 2012 Rio de Janeiro, August 13th, 2012 – MMX Mineração e Metálicos S.A. (“Company” or “MMX”) (Bovespa: MMXM3) releases its results for the second quarter of 2012. Financial and operating information below is presented on a consolidated basis in accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), in thousands of Reais, except where indicated otherwise. This was a quarter of recovery for MMX operations after a weak beginning of the year due to the effects of rain in the region of Minas Gerais. In the period, the Company had an Ebitda of R$ 13.9 million and net revenue of R$ 203.6 million. The highlights of the Company’s second quarter were: (i) obtaining the Installation License (LI) for the expansion of the Serra Azul Unit, which enabled the beginning of the expansion work and construction of new processing plant and (ii) resumption of the navigability of the River Paraguay, allowing the shipping of iron ore from Corumbá System to export market. However, it is worth noting that the uncertainties surrounding Europe and instability regarding the behavior of China's economy negatively impacted the global prices of iron ore. "At the beginning of this year, MMX sales and operations were greatly affected by natural phenomena, especially heavy rains, that interfered in our industrial activity. In the second quarter the situation was normalized and production reached approximately 2 million tons in the period. In April, MMX received the Installation License (LI) and immediately started work on the expansion of Serra Azul Unit and the construction of a new processing plant, which will be capable of producing 29 million tons of iron ore per year, using state-of-the-art technology. The Serra Azul Unit will have integrated logistics solutions, a crucial step for MMX to consolidate its strategy to become a competitive mining company in the international market" said Guilherme Escalhão, CEO and Investor Relations Officer for MMX. 1
  • 2. Earnings Release 2Q12 2Q12 highlights and subsequent events: • Obtaining of environmental Installation License Installation License (LI) for the expansion of Serra Azul Unit; • Start of work on the expansion of Serra Azul Unit; • Public hearings held in the municipalities of Itaguaí and Mangaratiba for the expansion of the Sudeste Superport to 100 Mtpy; • Total sale of 1.7 million of tons of iron ore 22% above the 1Q12; • EGM’s held for PortX and MMX, approving the merger of PortX by MMX; • On August 10, 2012, it took place the issuance of debentures at the amount of R$ 600 million, by MMX Sudeste Mineração S.A. Consolidated Highlights Var. % Var. % 2Q12 1Q12 2Q11 2Q12/1Q12 2Q12/2Q11 Sales - Iron Ore (000 t.) 1,699.5 1,395.3 2,066.9 22% -18% Gross Revenues (million R$) 216.1 169.7 312.9 27% -31% Gross Profit (million R$) 113.1 84.8 186.3 33% -39% EBITDA (million R$) 13.9 4.2 75.2 231% -82% Net Income (Loss) (million R$) (391.6) 49.3 90.9 n/a n/a Net Debt (million R$) 1,872.9 1,391.6 255.6 35% 633% Shareholders' Equity (million R$) 2,578.6 2,949.1 3,129.2 -13% -18% Economic Context, Scenario and Outlook for the Mining Sector The average price of iron ore with 62% Fe delivered in China in 1Q12 was 21.5% below the average price recorded in the same period in the previous year and only 1.2% above the price reached in 4Q11. This modest price recovery in 1Q12 was possible thanks to the growth in utilization rates in steel mills combined with a reduced supply in the transoceanic iron ore market. In 2Q12, however, pessimism in relation to the world economy, particularly in Europe and China, had a negative effect on the international market for iron ore. The economic environment in Europe, which has been unfavorable since 2011, remained unstable with the inability of governments to prevent the slowing down of the economy, in addition to the fear that the crisis began in Greece would affect other debtor countries, such as Italy and Spain. 2
  • 3. Earnings Release 2Q12 In this quarter, the major indexes published by the Chinese Government indicated that the growth rate of the country’s economy would continue to slow down, leading to a reduction in the apparent consumption of steel and, consequently, of iron ore. The fall in industrial production, coupled with the use of stockpiled steel, interrupted the growth trend in Chinese steel production which stabilized at approximately 60 million tons per month. This movement triggered a reduction of Chinese imports of iron ore at the amount of approximately 4%, when compared the second quarter with the first quarter of this year. At the same time as falling demand, the supply of iron ore in the transoceanic market increased considerably in this second quarter. The main producers in Australia and Brazil were supplying the market in an attempt to recover lost sales due to climatic effects that affected the two countries in the first quarter. The final effect, considering the increased supply combined with falling demand, was the reduction of iron ore prices on the spot market by approximately 10% between the beginning of April and the end of June 2012, in addition to a reduction of approximately 20.5% when compared the average price charged in the 2Q12 against the 2Q11 (iron ore 62% Fe CFR China). Long Term Outlook Despite a not so optimistic scenario for the global economy in the coming months, it is believed that the European market will be able to resolve the issues related to the debt crisis of the Euro Zone. At the same time, the Chinese Government also has adopted some measures to resume growth. In this scenario, it is expected that the global production of steel will remain stable throughout 2012 and resume growth as from 2013, although at lower rates than in the past. Given that Chinese producers will continue struggling to expand their production of iron ore in view of increased costs and decreasing quality, it is expected growth in the demand for imported iron ore. In this scenario, MMX stands out for its solid, integrated project, with a guarantee of certified mineral resources and reserves, long-term access to railway infrastructure, besides the Sudeste Superport, MMX’s private port which is now under construction, for shipping of its own production. 3

Earnings Release 2Q12 Operational Performance and Financial Statements Iron Ore Production Production Var. % Var. % 2Q12 1Q12 2Q11 (´000 tons) 2Q12/1Q12 2Q12/2Q11 Sudeste 1,378 1,220 1,564 13% -12% Corumbá 631 333 593 90% 7% Total 2,009 1,553 2,157 29% -7% In the second quarter, the total volume produced by MMX was approximately 2.0 million tons of iron ore, an increase of 29% compared to 1Q12 and a drop of 7% in relation to the volume registered in the same period of the previous year. In 2Q12, the production in the Sudeste System was of 1.4 million tons, 13% above the volume recorded in 1Q12 and 12% below the registered in 2Q11. In this quarter, the Corumbá System resumed its pace of production, which had been impacted by restricted river navigability on the Paraguay River in 1Q12, and recorded production of iron ore of 631 thousand tons, 90% and 7% above 1Q12 and 2Q11, respectively. Sales Sales Var. % Var. % 2Q12 1Q12 2Q11 (´000 tons) 2Q12/1Q12 2Q12/2Q11 Sudeste 1,152 1,165 1,583 -1% -27% Corumbá 547 230 484 138% 13% Total 1,699 1,395 2,067 22% -18% In 2Q12, the sales volume of the Company was of 1.7 million tons of iron ore, 22% higher than the previous quarter. In comparison with the same period of the previous year there was an 18% retraction. The domestic market absorbed 64% of that amount and the remainder was directed to external market. Sudeste System Sales in the Sudeste System totaled 1.2 million tons of iron ore, which is in line with the performance recorded in 1Q12 and 27% less than 2Q11. From the total sales, 86% were addressed to the domestic market, represented mainly by pig iron producers, steelmakers and large mining companies. The remaining 14% were exported through the CSN Port, in Itaguaí, which was made in a single shipment. In this quarter, the Company was able to maintain the export level of the previous quarter, but in comparison with the same period in the previous 4
  • 5. Earnings Release 2Q12 year, a reduction was observed. In relation to the 2Q11, there was one less shipment addressed to exportation, which resulted in the difference in sales volume between 2Q12 and 2Q11. Corumbá System In 2Q12, the Corumbá System sold 547 thousand tons of iron ore, performing 138% above 1Q12 and 13% above 2Q11. More than 80% of such amount was addressed for export and the rest was sold on the domestic market. The return to normal water levels on the Paraguay River, allowing navigation of barges carrying iron ore to the port in Argentina, was essential for the recovery of sales in this quarter. Cost of Goods Sold (“COGS”) In 2Q12, MMX recorded COGS of R$ 90.6 million. The COGS/ton this quarter had an average value of R$ 53.29/ton, in line with the previous quarter. In this quarter, the production cost was impacted by the effect of the provision of the Tax on Control, Supervision and Monitoring of Activities related to Research Mining, Exploration and Exploitation of Mineral Resources ("TFRM"), enacted by the State of Minas Gerais, at the amount of R$ 2.17/ton. It is important to emphasize that, even considering this provision for the payment of the TFRM, the COGS/ton for 2Q12 was 8% below the 2Q11.

This increase results mainly from the growth of the management team to support the Company's expansion plan. 5

Earnings Release 2Q12 Sales Expenses Var. % Var. % R$ Thousands 2Q12 1Q12 2Q11 2Q12/1Q12 2Q12/2Q11 Sales Expenses 69,739 47,704 73,099 46% -5% Corumbá System 42,584 15,027 24,919 183% 71% Sudeste System 27,155 32,486 47,647 -16% -43% In 2Q12, the sale expenses of the Company, mainly those related to logistics costs for the export of iron ore, totaled R$ 69.7 million. In relation to 1Q12 there was an increase of 46% and a reduction of 5% of such expenses in comparison with 2Q11. The increase was due to resumption of sales at Corumbá, as explained above. Sale expenses include: (i) the port tariff for CSN, (ii) port charges in Ladário (Corumbá) and in Argentina, (iii) road transport from the Serra Azul Unit to the railway terminal (valid for export and part of the sales for the internal market) and (iv) MRS tariffs for the transportation of ore produced in the Sudeste System to the port. Ebitda MMX recorded a consolidated Ebitda of R$ 13.9 million in 2Q12, a 231% increase in comparison with 1Q12 and an 82% reduction in relation to 2Q11. In this quarter, the Company recorded an Ebitda Margin of 7%, against 3% in 1Q12. Var. % Var. % R$ Thousands 2Q12 1Q12 2Q11 2Q12/1Q12 2Q12/2Q11 EBITDA Consolidated 13,905 4,205 75,226 231% -82% EBITDA from Operational Companies Sudeste 26,657 29,247 73,196 -9% -64% Corumbá Mineração 10,340 (903) 24,087 n/a -57% Sudeste Superport (610) (5,874) (864) n/a n/a The Sudeste System recorded an Ebitda of R$ 26.7 million in 2Q12, a 9% reduction compared with 1Q12 and 64% reduction compared with 2Q11. The result of this quarter was influenced by: (i) reduction in the weighted average of the price of iron ore resulting from deceleration of the global market, partially offset by an 11% increase in the average exchange rate compared with 1Q12 and (ii) provision for TFRM, which impacted COGS in the period. In 2Q12, the Ebitda margin for the Sudeste System remained in line with 1Q12. For the Corumbá System, 2Q12 Ebitda was of R$ 10.3 million. This result was due to higher sales volume in the period, combined with an increase in the average dollar value when compared to 1Q12. 6
  • 7. Earnings Release 2Q12 The Sudeste Superport, under construction in Sepetiba Bay (in Itaguaí-RJ), recorded negative Ebitda of R$ 610 thousand, given its current phase of deployment. In relation to 2Q11, the comparison does not apply, because, the port started to be recorded in MMX's results as from its purchase dated as of May 2011. Financial Result MMX's financial result in 2Q12 was negative at R$ 411.6 million, of which we highlight: (i) R$ 5.9 million in financial income, (ii) R$ 186.1 million from the sum of financial expenses with the adjustment of long-term liabilities represented by present amounts of the expected payment flow of royalties to the holders of securities of variable compensation (MMXM11) and (iii) R$ 231.4 million negative exposure to exchange variations, mainly from long-term liabilities represented by the above royalties. It should be noted that this liability has no cash effect on the Company.

It is worth noting that such effect is accounting only with no cash effect on the Company. Cash, Debt and Acquisitions Cash Net position: The cash position at the end of 2Q12 was R$ 355 million, distributed as follows: (i) R$ 219 million in short-term investments with high liquidity, remunerated at a charge-free rate equivalent to 101.5% of the CDI (Interbank Offered Rate) marked to market at 101.9% effective interest rate and (ii) R$ 136 million in cash and banks. The Company's cash reduced during this period, mainly due to: (i) investment in the Sudeste Superport construction work in the amount of R$ 180 million and (ii) investments in the Serra Azul Project in the amount of R$ 120 million. 7
  • 8. Earnings Release 2Q12 Debt: In the second quarter of 2012, MMX had total financial debt of R$ 2.1 billion, being R$ 696 million related to short-term debts, and R$ 1.4 billion to long-term debts. Drawdowns from BNDES to finance the Sudeste Superport contributed to the increase in debt of R$ 37.8 million. In addition, the following borrowings and amortizations occurred: (i) new short-term debts in Export Contract Financing totaling US$ 85 million, (ii) long-term debt of US$ 30 million and R$ 129 million and (iii) amortization of debts in the amount of US$ 119 million and R$ 2.5 million. In 2Q12, the average debt term in foreign currency was of 21 months, while the average term of debt in Brazilian Reais was of 60 months. The weighted average cost of dollar-denominated debt in 2Q12 was 6.12% p.a., an improvement in relation to 1Q12, which was 6.29% p.a., plus exchange variation in US dollars. The average cost of debt in Reais, composed essentially of BNDES credit lines, was 8.17% p.a. The graph below shows the evolution of the debt profile of the Company: 8
