MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company speeded up the expansion of its network, which

grew from 133 to 151 partnerships between September and December. It is particularly worth

mentioning five new coalition partners in the quarter, ending 2010 with 12 partnerships in

this category1.

On October 4, the Company announced a partnership with Editora Globo, one of Brazil’s

leading publishers, which regularly publishes 14 magazines with more than 7 million readers.

On October 26, the Company announced a partnership with SKY, a pay-tv provider, through

the VIVA SKY loyalty program. In November, the first coalition partnership in the clothing

segment was closed with GEP, which owns 77 Luigi Bertolli, Cori and Emme brand stores. On

December 13, Multiplus announced a new partnership with Multi Holding, which owns 3,520

schools distributed in nine language, IT and vocational training school brands: Wizard, Skill,

Alps, People, Yázigi, Quatrum, SOS, Microlins and Bit Company. The last announcement of the

year was on December 21, when the Multiplus coalition network entered the drugstore

segment through a partnership with Drogaria Rosário, the largest pharmaceutical retailer in

the Midwest, with 80 stores.

The Company closed the year with gross billings from the sale of points of R$ 1,119.5 million

and net income of R$ 118.4 million. In order to maximize returns to shareholders, Multiplus

paid R$ 112.3 million, or 95% of net income, as dividends or interest on equity2.

In the quarter, Multiplus issued 16.1 million points, 11.2% over the previous quarter. Gross

billings from the sale of points totaled R$ 325.2 million, 8.4% up on 3Q10. Net revenue was

R$ 205.6 million, for growth of 58.2%. The total cost of services rendered increased by

91.6% over the previous three months, while the number of points redeemed moved up by

68.0% and operating expenses increased 141.4%. If marketing and non-recurring expenses

are excluded, the increase would be 33.6%. Fourth-quarter net income was at R$ 43.3

million, 2.8% down from 3Q10, representing a net margin of 21.0%.

Management maintained its focus on the structuring of the main areas, in preparation for

taking advantage of the growth opportunities in Brazil’s loyalty program market. In the fourth

quarter, the Company appointed Ademar Bandeira, former Project Manager of Roland Berger,

a consulting firm, to the position of New Business Manager. Multiplus also strengthened its

financial area by electing Mr. André Neris as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Neris has 23 years of

experience and has worked as finance executive for Symantec, Cummins, Marconi and

Coopers&Lybrand. Most recently, he was CFO of Grupo BuscaPé.

1 On December 28, the Company published a Notice to the Market announcing the end of the Bomclube program, the

Walmart Brazil loyalty card used in Bompreço and Hiper Bompreço stores, as of January 2, 2011, in accordance with its business strategy aimed at a “low price policy”. As of January 2011, therefore, Walmart has no longer been a part of Multiplus’ coalition partner network

2 Includes R$16.9 million in interest on equity paid in 2011 and R$66.4 million as proposed dividends.

IMPROVEMENT IN BREAKAGE ACCOUNTING METHODOLOGY

As explained in previous releases, revenue from the points sold by Multiplus is only

recognized when the points are redeemed. However, as each point issued expires in two

years, some points expire before they are redeemed. This is called breakage and generates

revenue free of costs. At the end of each month, the Company (i) constitutes a provision for

the expected breakage revenue, called breakage liability, and (ii) gradually recognizes it as

breakage revenue in the income statement.

The breakage ratio tends to decline in the long run to a level that the Company believes to be

more sustainable as clients develop a better understanding of the Multiplus concept and

because of the greater proportion with redemptions of less than 10,000 points in relation to

total redemptions (promotional redemptions of airline tickets and new product and service

redemption options in the coalition network).

In order to make the constitution of the provision for breakage liability and the recognition of

breakage revenue even more efficient and transparent, the Multiplus’ Audit and Financial

Committee has made certain improvements to the methodology, namely:

Item Breakage ratio calculation Provision for breakage liability

Previous Average breakage in the last 24 months The balance of the breakage liability was

simply added to the monthly provision

New

Average breakage in the last 12 months,

considering only those points issued after

January 2010

The balance of the breakage liability is fully

reversed and the provision is reconstituted

using the most recent breakage ratio

Advantage Use of a more current breakage ratio

The entire balance of the breakage liability is

close to the fair value, thereby reducing the

risk of future adjustments

Impacts

Balance Sheet: reduced breakage liability and greater deferred revenue

Income Statement: increased breakage revenue

In addition to the impact on the financial statements shown above, the change in the

calculation of the breakage ratio resulted in a higher balance of points to be redeemed, in

turn reducing Adjusted EBITDA.

The 4Q10 results were adjusted for the retroactive use of the methodology. These amounts

are presented in the analysis of breakage revenue, under “Financial Results – 4Q10”. A

spreadsheet with previous quarterly results based on the new methodology can be

downloaded from the website www.multiplusfidelidade.com.br/ri (click on Releases and

Results and then Multiplus Spreadsheet).

Members: At the end of 4Q10, Multiplus’ base consisted of 8.0 million members, up 5.3%

over 3Q10 and 22.1% higher than TAM’s Fidelidade members’ base in 4Q09.

Points issued: 16.1 billion points, 11.2% higher than in the previous quarter, due to:

o the 13.3% increase in the number of points sold to TAM Airlines, mainly due to

the growth of 10.1% in this company’s domestic RPK (Source: ANAC).

o increase of 10.1% in the number of points sold to companies in the banking,

retail, industrial and services sectors, due to the growth of number of

partnerships and Real appreciation (Brazilian banks issue points to its

customers based on a US dollar equivalence expenditures).

Points Redeemed: 7.7 billion points, an increase of 68.0% versus 3Q10, which is in line with

the higher number of Multiplus points available for redemption (12 months of issued points,

compared to 9 months in the previous quarter), in addition to a reduction in the promotional

redemptions offer, which tends to increase the number of points redeemed.

Breakage (average of last 12 months): 22.6%, remained stable compared to 3Q10.

Gross billings of points: R$ 325.2 million in the quarter, for growth of 8.4% in relation to

13.3% increase in points sold;

o Banking, Retail, Industrial and Services companies: R$ 224.2 million, up 6.4% from

to 3Q10, since the agreements with financial institutions are based on the U.S.

dollar; and

Revenue

Net revenues totaled R$ 205.6 million in 4Q10, improving 58.2% over 3Q10, which is

explained by the following factors:

o Revenue from point sales: R$ 168.9 million, 60.6% more than in the previous quarter

due to: (i) 68.0% growth in the number of points redeemed and (ii) the change in the

mix of points recognized as revenue, with a higher share of the redemption of points

originally sold to TAM Airlines. The mix of points recognized as revenue tends to

converge to the breakdown seen in the gross billing of points, following the partner's

redemption curves.

o Breakage revenue: R$ 51.2 million, 42.4% up on 3Q10, due to the increasing balance

of breakage points between the quarters, reflecting the higher number of Multiplus

points issued (12 months compared to 9 months in the previous quarter). This line was

adjusted in accordance with the new accounting methodology (see “Improvement in

Breakage Accounting Methodology"), as shown below:

o Other revenue: R$ 5.9 million, growth of 108.6% over 3Q10, due to the increase in

profit sharing revenue from the co-branded TAM Fidelidade card.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Cost of point redemptions: R$ 132.3 million, up 91.6% from 3Q10, mainly due to:

o Airline tickets: R$ 131.8 million, 90.5% more than in 3Q10, as a result of: (i)

68.0% growth in the volume of points redeemed; and (ii) increase in unit cost

due to the end of promotional redemptions campaign that allowed free airline

tickets for domestic flights to be redeemed for only 4,000 points in the previous

quarter (promotional redemptions have a lower unit cost than standard 10,000

points redemption as per operation agreement between Multiplus and TAM).

o Coalition Partners and Multiplus Catalogue: R$ 461 thousand, an increase of

71.2% from 3Q10, as a result of the increase of 69.0% in the volume of points

redeemed.

Shared services: R$ 2.4 million, up 59.7% from 3Q10. If we exclude non-recurring expenses

adjustments with the Call Center in the amount of R$ 0.5 million in 3Q10, shared services

figures are in line with the previous quarter, at approximately R$ 1.9 million.

Personnel expenses: R$ 6.8 million, a growth of 48.2% versus the previous quarter. Excluding

non-recurring amounts of approximately R$ 2.0 million, recurring personnel expenses totaled

R$ 4.8 million, in line with the 3Q10 figures. Non-recurring amounts refer to (i) additional

provisions for profit sharing due to the Company’s good performance and (ii) provisions for

the stock option plan related to previous quarters, which was approved in October 2010.

Marketing expenses: R$ 9.8 million, compared with approximately R$ 1.0 million in 3Q10, due

to the concentration of marketing campaigns in 4Q10.

Depreciation: R$ 1.0 million, compared with approximately R$ 0.1 million in 3Q10, due to

depreciation in operational systems and management systems.

Other expenses: R$ 12.5 million, an increase of 97.8% over 3Q10. Excluding non-recurring

expenses totaling R$ 3.5 million, other expenses would total R$ 9.0 million in the period,

42.9% up from 3Q10. Among other expenses, we highlight expenses with IT, whose increase

was due to:

i. strong growth of the partnership network to 151 in December, specially 7 new coalition

partnerships, totaling 12, which requires the some systems’ setup;

Page 9: February 11, 2011 4Q10 Earnings Releaseri.pontosmultiplus.com.br/arquivos/110210-Release-4T10-ingles.pdf · Alps, People, Yázigi, Quatrum, SOS, Microlins and Bit Company. The last

ii. efforts to improve customer experience, which requires the development and

improvement of applications such as the website and the possibility to accumulate and

redeem points at the point of sale (in partnership with Redecard).

Financial Income/Expenses

Financial Income/Expenses: financial income of R$ 16.9 million, mainly reflecting the interest

earned on the investment of Multiplus’ cash, net of other financial expenses such as interest

expenses and financial transaction tax.

Income tax and social contribution

Income tax and social contribution: reduction from 25.3% to 24.9% in the tax rate due to the

interest on capital payment of R$ 16.9 million made in 3Q10 related to the distribution of net

income for the first half of 2010.
