  3. 3Q21: On March 20, 2019, the Company filed for a writ of mandamus in order to recover taxes that it believes were unduly paid in the last five years, since IRPJ (corporate income tax) and CSLL (social contribution on net income) were not levied on the amounts related to monetary adjustment and late payment interest on the refund of tax credits. This subject was submitted to the analysis of general repercussion on September 24, 2021 when, judging extraordinary appeal 1.063.187, the Supreme Federal Court (STF), by unanimous decision, ruled on the non-levy of IRPJ and CSLL on the amounts related to monetary adjustment and interest on the refund of tax credits, as transcribed below: "The levy of IRPJ and CSLL on the amounts related to the Selic rate received due to claim for refund of undue payment is unconstitutional". The effects of the acknowledgment represented the following impacts on the statements of income: (i) finance income: R$2.1 million; and (ii) Income Tax and social contribution on income: R$42.9 million.

EBITDA = Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

Current Economic Scenario

2021 ended indicating the continuity of a favorable environment for investments, as started in mid-

2020. This important recovery in business volume can be noticed in all units, both in businesses in the domestic market and in exports and at the Burkhardt Weber business unit. Although the current level of real interest rates and the prospects indicate its increase, the current exchange rate level and the costs and global logistics availability continue to encourage the national industry and the country in general to allocate a greater portion of production to Brazil, as well as to seek greater productivity and preservation of competitiveness. In view of the more concrete signs of this resumption that took place in 2020, the Company prepared itself, especially in relation to orders for raw materials and components along the supply chain, which have allowed us to serve customers in an appropriate and competitive period. Romi is prepared to continue to support its customers by providing high-technology products, within deadlines suitable to the market's needs.

In the foreign market we have also noted a recovery of machine orders, not only for Romi Machines, but also for BW Machines, the latter with relevant orders placed in 2021. These orders reflect the economic recovery and, consequently, the growing volume of opportunities both in the Asian continent and in Europe.

The Industrial Entrepreneur Confidence Index (ICEI) also shows a strong recovery of confidence throughout 2021, and in recent months this index remained stable at a level considered highly favorable for new investments.

Having suffered the impact of the pandemic, the Installed Capacity Utilization (UCI) index of the domestic industry in general, released by the National Confederation of Industries (CNI), returned to its normal levels in August 2020, and remains at levels favorable to investments.
