3. BUS INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE IN BRAZIL
The Brazilian production in reached 14,372 units in 2016, a volume which is
17.9% below the 17,511 units produced in 2015. Since the bus is sold fully-equipped,
Volare is not computed in the Brazilian production of bodies. If the production of this
kind of vehicle were considered, the domestic production would be 15,613 units per
year, against 19,367 units in 2015.
CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION Caxias do Sul, February 21st, 2017

The domestic market demand reached 9,869 units, a 26.1% drop compared to
2015, while the production to the foreign market was of 4,503 units, 8.3% higher than
exportation in the previous year.

4. MARCOPOLO'S PERFORMANCE
In order to mitigate the impact of one more year of economical and political
instability in Brazil, Marcopolo took important actions in 2016 to circumvent the
adverse scenario.
In early 2016, the Company adopted flexible working hours in the Caxias do Sul
plants and suspended the employment contracts on a temporary basis (lay-off) in the
Marcopolo Rio plant, in Duque de Caxias/RJ, seeking to minimize the crisis effects in
workstations.
The Company also implemented a number of projects focused on exploring
opportunities, notably the Conquest project, intended to increase exportation through
the reinforcement of the business in traditional Latin American markets, cover new
markets and expand the customer portfolio in foreign countries. More than 65
countries were visited during the year, resulting in a 54.6% increase in the physical
exportation volume and an increase in exportation income.
In April 2016, the Company launched the program Brazil Point to Point, targeted
at the Brazilian market, including visits to customers in every region of Brazil during the
second half of the year, allowing for the consolidation of the brand and customer
relations.
In the Volare segment, the Company launched the Business to Business project,
which, through visits to transportation operators, provided an expansion of the
customer portfolio and reduction of inventories in the factory and in the
concessionaires, from 567 units in December 2015 to 148 at the end of the year.
Apart from these projects, Marcopolo took other actions to mitigate the effects
of a reduced demand in its operating results, acting towards the reduction of expenses
and indirect costs, increase of operating efficiency through the adoption of the LEAN,
increase the working capital through the reduction of inventories and receivables.
During the year, the Company also intensified the quality program, with expansion of
the after-sales service, seeking customer loyalty.
In controlled companies in foreign countries, the net revenue of Polomex in
Mexico and Volgren in Australia rose 28% and 13.3% respectively. The result brought
by the Mexico unit arises mostly from the greater sale of intercity buses through the
exportation from Brazil, an effect of the new business model which allows Polomex to
CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION Caxias do Sul, February 21st, 2017
5
use other chassis brands. In the Australian unit, a 10.1% increase in physical units
invoiced explains the income growth.
In 2016, the Company launched new products, notably intercity bus models for
the Mexican market, such as MP 180 MX, MP 135 MX, MP 120 MX, MP 105 MX and
the urban model MX 60 BRS. In the Volare segment, the model named Volare Cinco
was launched in April 27th. With the development of this complete product, which
also includes chassis production, Marcopolo has entered a new market niche named
Compact Bus.
In an Extraordinary General Meeting held on August 3rd, the Marcopolo
shareholders approved the consolidation of L&M Incorporadora Ltda, the direct
controller of San Marino Ônibus Ltda. (“Neobus”), through the issuance of 12,108,151
new preferred shares. After the consolidation, several measures were taken to capture
synergies, with unified financial management and sharing of structures.
On September 22nd, the Company sold 4.5 million shares of New Flyer Industries
owned by Marcopolo, amounting to a 7.4% share of the company's capital stock,
generating BRL 339.9 million in net cash.
Finally, on November 7th 2016, Marcopolo's Board of Directors approved a
capital increase within the authorized capital limit. The capital increase was ratified by
the Board of Directors on December 23rd 2016 with the issuance of 16,187,774 new
preferred shares, totaling capitalization of BRL 43.7 million.

4.3 Market Share
Marcopolo kept its leading position in the Brazilian market, closing the year with
a 41.3% market share. Even though the Brazilian bus production had a 17.9% drop in
2016, the Company's general market share rose 0.6 percentage points compared to
2015, notably the intercity segment, which rose 10.9%.
Disregarding the total Neobus production in the period, Marcopolo's market
share in 2016 would be 37.4%. The Company's market share was affected by the
selective vacations adopted in the Ana Rech unit in January 2016, as well as by the lay-
off in the Marcopolo Rio unit in the first 5 months of the year.
The table below shows Marcopolo's market share in the Brazilian production by product line:

5. CONSOLIDATED NET REVENUE
The consolidated net revenue achieved BRL 2.574.1 million in 2016, 6% below
the BRL 2,739.1 million in 2015. The result was partially offset by a 27.3% increase in
exportation and by revenue from foreign units, notably the performance of the units in
Mexico and Australia.
The domestic market sales yielded revenue of BRL 788.3 million or 30.6% of the
total net revenue (46.1% in 2015). Exportation, added to foreign transactions, reached
revenue of BRL 1,785.8 million or 69.4% of the total (53.9% in 2015).

Moneo and chassis.
The charts below show the source of the consolidated revenue in further detail
(in %):
2016 2015
6. GROSS PROFIT AND MARGINS
In 2016, the gross profit amounted to BRL 325.8 million, amounting to 12.7% of
the net revenue. The gross profit was impacted by a smaller sales volume in the
domestic market, by greater difficulty in passing on prices, the appreciation of the real
CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION Caxias do Sul, February 21st, 2017
9
against the dollar, by the consolidation of Neobus since August as well as by the
restoration of the provision for technical guarantee to expand post-sales service for
the purpose of winning the loyalty of customers.
7. SALE EXPENSES
Sale expenses totaled BRL 140.9 million in 2016 or 5.5% of the net revenue
against BRL 164.8 million, or 6% of the revenue in 2015. The reduction in the absolute
value basically results from less expenditure in sales commissions.
8. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses totaled BRL 165.3 million in 2016 and BRL
158.5 million in 2015, amounting to 6.4% and 5.8% of the net revenue respectively.
The amount increase results mostly from the consolidation of Neobus in August.
9. OTHER OPERATING REVENUE/EXPENSES
In 2016, BRL 190.4 million was recorded as "Other Operating Revenue". This
result is mostly explained by the sale of 4.5 million shares issued by New Flyer
Industries, which yielded a result of BRL 268.1 million. On the other hand, BRL 32.7
million was provisioned for the purpose of restructuring the sales network both in the
domestic and foreign market, BRL 21.6 for labor-related indemnifications and
settlements, BRL 11.8 million from the temporary suspension of employment contracts
(lay-off) in the Marcopolo Rio unit, BRL 6 million concerning impairment associated to
the consolidation of the Neobus operation and BRL 5.6 million from other expenses.
10. EQUITY METHOD RESULTS
The equity method result in 2016 was BRL 94 million positive against BRL 33
million also positive in 2015. The main contributions came from New Flyer Industries,
in the amount of BRL 54.6 million and the net income from foreign exchange variations
on investments made in the amount of BRL 41 million.
The equity method result is described in detail in Explanatory Note no. 12 to the
Financial Statements.
11. NET FINANCIAL INCOME
The 2016 net financial income was BRL 66.3 million positive against BRL 38.4
million negative in 2015. This result arises from the foreign exchange variation on the
liabilities in dollar and the yield from financial investments.
The financial income is described in detail in Explanatory Note no. 29 to the
Financial Statements.
12. EBITDA
EBITDA reached BRL 353.6 million in 2016, with a 13.7% margin against BRL
212.5 million and a 7.8% margin in 2015. The margin improvement arises mostly from
the result of the partial sale of the investment in New Flyer Industries made in 3Q16.
CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION Caxias do Sul, February 21st, 2017

The table below shows the accounts that make up the EBITDA:

Financial expenses 511.2 487.5
Depreciation / Amortization 49.7 46.4
EBITDA 353.6 212.5
13. NET PROFIT
The 2016 net profit reached BRL 222.5 million, with an 8.6% net margin. The net
profit was also boosted by the partial sale of New Flyer Industries shares and by the
net financial income.
14. FINANCIAL INDEBTEDNESS
The net financial indebtedness amounted to BRL 840.8 million on 12.31.2016
(BRL 1,110.6 million on 12.31.2015). Out of this total, BRL 608.4 million came from the
financial segment, while the industrial segment had net liabilities in the amount of BRL
232.4 million.
It should be noted that the financial segment indebtedness comes from the
consolidation of the Banco Moneo activities and must be analyzed separately, as it has
different characteristics from the indebtedness arising from the Company's
manufacturing activities. The financial liabilities of the Banco Moneo have a
corresponding entry in the "Customers" account in the Bank's Assets. The credit risk is
properly provisioned for. Since these are transfers from the FINAME, each
disbursement BNDES has a corresponding entry in the customer receivables account of
the Banco Moneo, both in term and fixed rate. See Explanatory Note 31 to the
Financial Statements.
On December 31st, the net financial indebtedness of the industrial segment
amounted to 0.7 times the EBITDA of the last 12 months.
15. CASH GENERATION
In 2016, the operating activities raised funds in the order of BRL 170.9 million.
The investment activities generate BRL 356.1 million, while the financing activities
consumed BRL 431.5 million, BRL 358.6 million net of funding and repayment of loans,
BRL 118.4 million consumed in the payment of dividends and interests on capital, BRL
43.7 million generated through the issuance of shares and BRL 1.8 million referring to
the sale of treasury stock. As a result, the beginning cash balance of BRL 1,365.2
million, considering the unavailable financial investments and reducing BRL 1.8 million
equivalent to the difference between foreign exchange variation and variation of
unavailable financial investments rose to BRL 1,458.9 million at the end of the year.
The cash flow statement of the industrial and financial segments is presented in detail
in Explanatory Note 32 to the Financial Statements.

16. PERFORMANCE OF CONTROLLED AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES
16.1 Controlled companies in foreign countries
In 2016, the controlled units in foreign countries produced 1,970 units. This
volume amounted to 22.4% of Marcopolo's consolidated production. Below are some
of the highlights of controlled companies in foreign countries:
MARCOPOLO CHINA (MAC) - MAC has an area for sourcing, production of parts,
components and knocked down bus bodies, as well as production of PKD buses for
exportation. MAC's strategy is still the increase of its strategic relevance to promote
the Marcopolo brand in Asia and Oceania, forming a basis for customer relationship.
The expectation for 2017 is to increase exportation, especially with its qualification for
the Changzhou Export Processing Zone.
MARCOPOLO SOUTH AFRICA (MASA) – In 2016, MASA, located in Johannesburg,
produced 298 units (334 units in 2015). In 2017, the unit will try to improve efficiency
through the implementation of the LEAN method and to grow by seeking new
partnerships. Sales begin of the Volare, imported from Brazil.
POLOMEX – Located in Monterrey, Mexico, Polomex produced 1,201 units in 2016
(1,492 units in 2015). For 2017, the expectation is to regain the Mexican market with
an increase in Polomex's market share, especially in the intercity market, either
through the continuation of the existing partnership with Mercedes or by means of
new opportunities of using other chassis brands.
VOLGREN – Located in Melbourne, Australia, Volgren produced 471 units in 2016, an
amount 10.1% higher than the 2015 production. For 2017, the company is still engaged
in the improvement of results and the reduction of fixed costs. There is an expectation
of growth in view of the results obtained in 2016.
16.2 Associated companies in foreign countries
GB POLO – Marcopolo's joint venture in Egypt, located in the city of Suez, produced
693 units in 2016 (1,190 units in 2015). As a result of the country's economic and
political situation, the company's operating results continue to fall short of
expectations.
METALPAR/METALSUR – The total production of Metalpar and Metalsur, both located
in Argentina, totaled 1,606 units in 2016 (1,886 units in 2015). The urban segment,
served by Metalpar, experienced difficulties arising from the reduction of government
subsidies for the purchase of buses, but the market share was maintained. On the
other hand, Metalsur had an outstanding performance, supported by the sale of
double Decker models.
CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION Caxias do Sul, February 21st, 2017

NEW FLYER INDUSTRIES - New Flyer Industries, a company in which Marcopolo has a
10.8% ownership interest, is the main manufacturer of urban buses in the United

26. PROSPECTS FOR 2017
Early 2017 points to a challenging year for the capital goods industry in Brazil,
especially in the first quarter. However, a more optimistic prospect regarding the
economic activity in Brazil, arising from recently disclosed inflation figures and
reduction in interest rates, allows the Company to foresee a gradual return in the
demand for buses, especially in the second half of the year.
Marcopolo is still engaged in actions to reduce indirect expenses and costs and
increase operating efficiency through the adoption of the LEAN concepts, apart from
improving working capital through the reduction of inventory and receivables. Since
2015 the Company has adopted mechanisms to reduce the impact of a smaller
demand in personnel, including selective vacation, collective vacation, extended
holidays with banking of hours and flexible working hours. In January 2017, Marcopolo
CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION Caxias do Sul, February 21st, 2017
19
adopted collective vacation in the Caxias do Sul units. In Marcopolo Rio, Duque de
Caxias/RJ apart from collective vacation in January, flexible working hours were
adopted in 4 days of February.
The domestic demand for intercity buses shall be boosted by the accessibility
regulations, which requires new vehicles produced from July 2017 on to be equipped
with elevators, and for the required reduction in the average age of the fleet, which
shall be reduced to 8 years beginning in 2017 pursuant to Resolution no. 4,770 of the
National Land Transportation Agency (ANTT) for interstate and international lines. The
nonperformance of the resolution may entail the revocation of the authorization
granted to transportation providers for the operation of their respective lines, for
which reason such replacement is mandatory.
In the urban bus segment, the federal program named Refrota, announced in
December 13th 2016, with authorizes banks to use FGTS (Guarantee Fund for Length
of Service funds) for the Transportation Infrastructure Program and from Urban
Mobility (Pro-Transportation) may foment new investments. The purpose of the
program is to extend credit in the total amount of BRL 3 billion for the replacement of
up to 10 thousand buses. Fare increases in major state capitals and many other cities,
even on a one-off basis, may boost sales targeted at the replacement and
modernization of the municipal operators' fleet.
FINAME TJLP is still in place, allowing micro, small and medium enterprises to
finance up to 80.0% of the asset with the TJLP plus 1.6% p.a. and the spread of the
transferring bank. Large enterprises may also finance up to 80.0% of the asset, 70.0%
of this total amount via LTIR plus 2.0% p.a. and 30.0% linked to the SELIC rate plus
2.48% p.a. plus the spread of the transferring bank. In this context, the confirmation of
successive cuts in the SELIC rate may boost the domestic demand.
The Company believes in the continuation of the positive performance of
exportation from Brazil, with the maintenance of traditional customers and
prospecting of new markets. Marcopolo will continue its strong action in the foreign
market and for this purpose, beginning on February 1st 2017, restructured its
Commercial department – Domestic Marketing, integrating it into the International
Affairs department. The purpose is to maximize business in all regions and enhance
the integration among exportations from Brazil and international transactions of
Marcopolo.
As for units located in foreign countries, the expectations for 2017 are generally
positive, with the evolution of the productivity and efficiency indicators and
subsequent improvement in performance. The transactions shall also be favored by
the aforementioned integration project, with the joint development of specific
markets and products for each region where the units do business.
Marcopolo still believes in the need for urban mobility systems in the countries
where it works and in the renewal of the Brazilian bus fleet, which has stagnated as a
CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION Caxias do Sul, February 21st, 2017
20
result of the economic retreat of recent years. The Company will continue making
efforts to regain its historical performance level and, for this reason, it will continue
developing new products and improving the on-going ones, especially those
concerning an increase in operating efficiency, business reinforcement in foreign
markets, search for synergies and optimization of its plants.
27. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
