The objective of consolidating these assets into CCR was to develop a centralized portfolio management strategy that would open the way to better operational practices, reduce risks, capture synergies, create value for shareholders and efficiently access the capital markets, which is an important alternative source of financing in the infrastructure business. CCR is currently the largest holding company for highway concessions in Brazil and the entire Latin America as well as one of the top in the world. In Brazil, the company manages nearly 1,300 kilometers of highway concessions with remaining terms ranging from 13 to 20 year, representing in 2001 14% of the length and 31% of the revenues of highways under concession 1 in the country. CCR was the first company to list on the New Market (Novo Mercado) of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), with an initial public offering of 16,963,601 common shares, or 20% of the company’s registered capital. The company’s shares started trading on February 1, 2002, under the stock symbol CCRO3. The offering of CCR’s only class of shares exceeded the issuer commitments set forth by the New Market and insured proper rights and representation to the new shareholders through a uniquely advanced corporate governance framework, which was previously unheard of in the Brazilian capital markets.

Our five concessionaires surpassed our own expectations in terms of financial results and the progress made in modernizing our capital structure. Despite the countless challenges encountered during the years and that impacted us directly and indirectly, the determination and persistence of our management team and all employees allowed us to achieve important results. For the year, we posted consolidated revenues of R$931.7 million, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 25.5% that results in a compounded annual growth rate of 23.3% for the three years from 1999 to 2001. At the same time, operating costs for the year grew year-over-year at a lower rate (14.0%) than revenues. Consolidated EBITDA for the year rose to R$545 million, up by 30.4% over 2000, resulting in a compounded annual growth rate of 24.0% for the 1999 – 2001 period. EBITDA margin for the period was a record 62.6%, reflecting our efforts to reduce operating costs. During the year, we invested a total of R$511.9 million, or 10.1% more than in 2000. During the past six years, we invested over R$2 billion in our five highway concessionaires, of which the company’s shareholders had contributed over R$450 million through December 2001. As a provider of a public service, we are aware of our social responsibilities. Thus, we work to continuously improve our highway network to exceed the expectations of users in terms of comfort and safety. With respect to this, we are particularly proud of two statistics: the 24.8% decline registered between 1999 to 2001 in the number of deaths on the highways that we manage, and a significant reduction in the number of assistance calls handled. We are also sponsors to several social and educational programs tailored for the users of our highways and the communities of the areas surrounding our concessions. Additionally, the preservation of the environment is a constant concern in everything that we do. From a corporate point of view, the advances were even more significant. Immediately after our incorporation in September 1998, we started taking all the necessary steps to one day become a publicly traded company. One of these steps was the acquisition in January 2001 of 20% of our capital by Brisa Auto-estradas de Portugal S.A., the largest Iberian highway operator. This was a very important event for our company because Brisa contributes important operating experience acquired in nearly three decades of managing highways in Europe.
