Significant growth in the hydraulics segment, particularly in the Brazilian and US markets. The automotive segment portfolio comprised 19% of partially or fully machined products (vs. 21% in 3Q16). The breakdown of automotive products by type of material shows that Compacted Graphite Iron CGI accounted for a sales volume of 12% (vs. 15% in 3Q16). The drop in the quarterly comparison was due to higher growth in the volume of products made of gray or nodular iron. TUPY S.A. Release 3

7 RELEASE FINANCIAL INFORMATION EXPLANATORY NOTES AUDITOR S REPORT DOMESTIC MARKET (DM) Passenger Cars Revenues from sales of components for passenger cars increased by 6.4% in 3Q17 compared to the same period of the previous year, particularly due to the increase in sales of products that will be exported from Brazil by our customers (indirect exports). Commercial Vehicles Revenues from applications for commercial vehicles rose by 55.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. Just as it happened with passenger cars, this growth was chiefly due to indirect exports opportunities. TUPY S.A. Release 6

8 RELEASE FINANCIAL INFORMATION EXPLANATORY NOTES AUDITOR S REPORT Off Road Tupy s revenues from off road rose by 34.2% in 3Q17, driven by the strong volume demanded by our customers and ramp up of parts. Hydraulics In 3Q17 revenues from hydraulics segment increased by 10.0% against the same period in This growth is chiefly due to the increase in demand and increasing market share in iron bars market. TUPY S.A. Release 7

9 RELEASE FINANCIAL INFORMATION EXPLANATORY NOTES AUDITOR S REPORT FOREIGN MARKET (FM) Passenger Cars Revenues from passenger cars decreased by 19.6% compared to 3Q16, due to the appreciation of the Real compared to the same period of the previous year, as well as to the phase-out of products. Light Commercial Vehicles Sales for this application were positively impacted in the period by the increase in demand from US market and phase in of projects, which reduced the adverse effect of the appreciation of the Real in the period. We have also counted on a more favorable comparison base, due to production stoppage of a client in 3Q16. TUPY S.A. Release 8

10 RELEASE FINANCIAL INFORMATION EXPLANATORY NOTES AUDITOR S REPORT Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles The 23.5% increase in revenues is mainly due to the performance of the North-American market. Just as in the case of light commercial vehicles, we noticed a favorable comparison base due to production stoppage of a client in 3Q16. Off Road Sales for off road applications in 3Q17 increased by 53.7% compared to the same period in 2016, due to the recovery in demand against weak markets in previous years. TUPY S.A. Release 9

11 RELEASE FINANCIAL INFORMATION EXPLANATORY NOTES AUDITOR S REPORT Hydraulics In 3Q17, net revenues from sales of pipe fittings, steel shots and iron bars increased by 35.2%.

TUPY S.A. Release 10

12 RELEASE FINANCIAL INFORMATION EXPLANATORY NOTES AUDITOR S REPORT The changes in COGS between 3Q17 and 3Q16 were mainly due to the following factors: 24.2% increase in raw material costs, driven by the increase in production volumes and raw material prices compared to 3Q16. On the other hand, we noticed a 2.2% decrease in the cost per kilo of raw materials compared to the previous quarter (2Q17). Labor costs up 13.8% due to increase in headcount caused by volume growth in Mexican operations. Year over year comparison was also affected by collective bargain agreement. 31.5% increase in maintenance materials and third parties. In addition to the growth in volumes and increase in outsourced services, the annual comparison was also affected by an unfavorable base, due to extremely low maintenance levels carried out in 3Q16 (fall of 18.9% compared to 2Q16). 15.2% rise in energy costs, resulting from the increase in production volumes and higher tariffs compared to the previous year. These effects were offset by the partial closing of the Mauá unit. Operating expenses, which encompass administrative and commercial expenses, grew by 18.4%, chiefly due to higher freight expenses from increasing sales volume and the development of research projects. Additionally, as from January 2017, the Company started to record research & development, final shipments, and technical assistance services, among others, as operating expenses, rather than cost of goods sold. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES Other net operating expenses amounted to R$14.0 million in 3Q17, against R$23.5 million in 3Q16, corresponding to 40.5% decrease. (R$ thousand) 3Q17 3Q16 Var.

Drop of 26.0% in financial revenues, mainly because of the 9.7% decrease in the balance of cash and investments in Brazil (R$717.1 million in 3Q17 vs. R$793.8 million in 3Q16), and lower financial earnings due to lower interest rates, with an average equivalent to 11.12% p.a. in 3Q17 vs % p.a. in 3Q16. The reduction in expenses from net exchange and net monetary variations resulted from the appreciation of the BRL and MXN against the USD in 3Q17, as well as from marking to market of hedge transactions (zero cost collar).

The effect of exchange rates on the tax base (deferred income tax in Mexican operations) is calculated in Mexican Pesos (MXN). The translation into the functional currency, the U.S. Dollar, resulted in a reduction of R$1.0 million due to the devaluation of the Mexican Peso against the U.S. Dollar in 3Q17. The net income from these effects amounted to R$76.4 million in 3Q17, or 7.9% of revenues. TUPY S.A. Release 12
