25 strategic outlook

26 A clear path ahead DRIVING TOWARDS A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT: A HEALTHIER FUTURE Remain at the Forefront of Industry Innovation by Continuing Strong Investment in Research and Development Continue to Adapt Business Model to Further Improve Efficiency Exploit business opportunities in new and existing markets 26

27 A clear revenue growth roadmap for 2H 2007 PRINCIPAL JUDGED GROWING DRIVERS Increase of revenues in South West Asia driven by market expansion Increase of revenues in South America driven by market expansion in Brazil, Colombia and Peru and increased penetration in that area through new distributors introduction in AM segment Increase of revenues in West Europe driven by market expansion in Germany and increased penetration in that area through OEM partnership Increase of revenues in Rest of Asia driven by increased market penetration in Indian LPG segment and Chinese OEM segment 27

28 A clear EBITDA roadmap for 2H 2007 Increasing in Sales Revenues will be larger than related increase on fixed cost Change on Geographical mix of revenues versus 1H largely compensated by manufacturing cost reduction due to: Pakistani manufacturing facilities start up (July 2007) Iranian manufacturing facilities start up (October 2007) Continuous cost reduction mainly focused on electronic components and outsourced activities 28

29 Acquisition Approach Landi Renzo decision model: Line of external growth evaluated Increase of perimeter of supply Expansion in new market segment Increase penetration in existing market segment LR Planning to apply the model Short list Evaluation Analysis of potential acquisition Target Price Definition September 2007 End 2007/1Q

Climatic fluctuations and supply / demand dynamics for crops are at the root of this volatility. Source: Petrobras
