The second quarter of 2012 showed strong revenue growth, driven again by the good sales performance in international markets. This performance in external markets more than offset the slow growth observed in Brazil, showing once again the robustness of the WEG business model. Even in an economic environment of great uncertainty, characterized by the sovereign debt crisis in the Euro zone and the low level of investment in production capacity expansion in the Brazilian industry, we were able to find and exploit growth opportunities in the markets we serve. In the Brazilian market revenue growth was modest, given the environment of uncertainty regarding the Brazilian economy growth perspectives, which has slowed industrial capacity expansion investments. Abroad, where our market share is relatively smaller, we have been exploring the WEG brand reputation of reliable and technologically advanced product portfolio. We believe that we will continue to be able to find opportunities, and thereby obtain significant growth rates, by executing our plans of expanding the product mix offered abroad and entering new market niches. In Brazil, we continue to believe that measures to simulate the industry, introduced by the “Brasil Maior” Plan, in conjunction to falling basic interest rates to record lows and the devaluation of the Brazilian Real will result in a better business environment for the industrial segment. In this quarter we continued to execute our strategy to capture non-organic growth opportunities with acquisition of Stardur Tintas, the first acquisition of the Coatings business unit in the Brazilian market, which brought technology to complement our portfolio and market access to automotive repainting market. Economic Activity and Industrial Production The pace of overall economic activity and of industrial activity in particular, remained weak in the second quarter of 2012, continuing the downward trend in the pace of recovery, and some deterioration in economic conditions could be seen in both emerging and mature markets. The analysis of the purchasing manager indexes (or PMI indicators), which indicates the economic and industrial activity situation in some of our major markets, demonstrates this clearly. Indexes above 50 indicate industrial expansion and below of 50 signal industrial contraction. In June 2012, indexes in virtually all major industrial markets are under 50. June 2012 May 2012 Manufacturing ISM Report on Business ® USA 49.7 53.5 Markit/BME Germany Manufacturing PMI® Germany 45.0 45.2 HSBC China Manufacturing PMI™ China 48.2 48.4 In Brazil, industrial activity accumulated a decrease of 3.4% in 2012 up to May in comparison the same period of the previous year. The drop in production accumulated in the previous 12 months was of 1.8%. This low industrial growth scenario is already embedded in financial market expectations, as captured by the Central Bank of Brazil Focus report, which has been showing diminishing rates for industrial production growth forecasts in 2012. In early July these expectations were of a modest expansion of 0.1%.

The falls in these categories should be analyzed carefully though, as there is a strong influence from the decreases in heavy vehicles production in the automotive industry in the case of capital goods. Still, the situation of the Brazilian industry as a whole is weaker today than was the perception in early 2012. 2 | WEG S.A. | 2012 Second Quarter Results Earnings Release Net Operating Revenue Net Operating Revenue reached R$ 1,528.8 million in the second quarter of 2012 (2Q12), corresponding to an increase of 19.7% in relation to second quarter of 2011 (2Q11) and of 11.6% in relation to first quarter of 2012 (1Q12). IN this quarter there was no additional revenues impact due to the consolidation of acquisitions. Only the assets and liabilities of Stardur, acquired last June, were consolidated in this 2Q12. Adjusted by adding of R$ 72.2 million resulting from the consolidation of net revenues of Watt Drive (Austria), Electric Machinery (USA), Pulverlux (Argentina) and of joint venture WEG-Cestari (Brazil), growth of net revenue would have been 14% in 2Q12 in relation to the 2Q11.

Adjusted for this acquisition, there would be a decrease of 1.4% in revenues compared to 2Q11. External Market: R$ 799.6 million, equivalent to 52% of Net Operating Revenues, with growth of 44.3% over the same period of last year and of 22.0% over the previous quarter. Considering the average US dollar/Brazilian Real exchange rate of quarter, net operating revenues from external market in US dollar reached US$ 406.9 million, which represents growth of 17.0% over 2Q11 and of 9.7% over 1Q12. Adjusting for the consolidation of revenues of Watt Drive, Electric Machinery and Pulverlux, growth over 2Q11 would have been of 34.3% when measured in Brazilian Reais. This was the first quarter in which net revenue of the external market exceeded that achieved in the domestic market. The accelerated external market’s growth we have been experiencing over the previous quarters was amplified by the 9.9% devaluation the Brazilian Real against the US dollar during the 2Q12.

In the industrial electro-electronic equipments business, where we have, over the years, built a globally recognized brand and strong presence in several markets, we continued to see strong growth both in mature markets, like Europe and North America, and in emerging markets, such as Asia and Africa. In this case we have benefited from the research and development effort focused on the innovative design and high performance products. This portfolio of products, adapted to the trends that place strong preference for equipments with greater energy efficiency, has allowed us to maximize returns on investments in commercial structure made in recent years, resulting in strong sales expansion. In the domestic market, although we observed some reduction in the rate of growth in this area during the quarter, we continue to benefit from investments in specific segments such as oil and gas, shipbuilding, mining and cement. In the GTD business remained the same dynamics that we have seen in recent quarters. In the domestic market we continued to see the divergent trends in the Generation (G) and Transmission and Distribution (T&D) equipment markets. In generation, we continue to observe slow demand recovery, but greater economic rationality, while in T&D, although demand remains relatively stronger, prices continued to be under pressure. This pressure on the prices on the T&D equipment is actually a reflection of the international environment in which, as we have described before, the industry is adjusting its excess capacity. Our experience in similar situations shows that the strategy of maintaining service levels and investment results, over time, in the strengthening of our market position and in business expansion. It is what we have done in the North American market, with the transformer factory in México and the specific U.S. commercial infrastructure. In motors for domestic use, the stimulus measures announced in December 2011 began to impact consumer behavior, but these impacts have not been fully felt through the production chain. Additional measures to produce competitive equilibrium, including specific import tax and IPI increases for some imported products, may give increase momentum during the seasonally important second half of the year. In the paints and varnishes business, Stardur, whose acquisition was announced last June, will only have its consolidated revenues from the third quarter of 2012 onwards. Anyway, the area was able to show growth in both the Brazilian market and abroad. 4 | WEG S.A. | 2012 Second Quarter Results Earnings Release Q2 2012 Net Operating Revenues Cost of Goods Sold Gross Operating Profit Q1 2012 1,528.8 (1,067.1) 461.7 1,369.8 (977.8) 392.0 Gross Margin 30.2% 28.6% (-) Selling Expenses (-) General & Administrative (-) Profit Sharing Result from Activities (+) Depreciation & Amortization EBITDA (155.1) (76.0) (22.6) 207.9 52.2 260.0 (142.2) (67.8) (22.9) 159.1 49.6 208.6 EBITDA Margin 17.0% 15.2% % Q2 2011 11.6% 9.1% 17.8% 1,277.3 (895.8) 381.4 9.1% 12.2% -1.4% 30.7% 5.2% 24.6% (122.7) (64.3) (24.6) 169.8 45.7 215.6 % 19.7% 19.1% 21.0% 29.9% 26.5% 18.3% -8.2% 22.4% 14.0% 20.6% 16.9% Figures in R$ thousands Cost of Goods Sold Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) totaled R$ 1,067.1 million in 2Q12, increasing 19.1% over 2Q11 and 9.1% over 1Q12. Gross margin reached 30.2%, 0.3 percentage point higher than in the 2Q11 and 1.6 percentage point higher than in the 1Q12. Gross Margin The gross margin expansion is due to, among other effects: (i) growth in sales and revenues; (ii) the positive effect of devaluation of the Real on the revenues in external market; (iii) stability of costs, mainly of raw material; and (iv) expansion of activities and consequent greater dilution of manufacturing costs, important when we remember that the greenfield production units in India and Linhares (ES) have yet to reach their optimal utilization levels. Cost of Raw Materials Average spot copper prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) fell by 14% in the 2Q12 compared to the average of 2Q11 and 5% compared to the average of 1Q12. Steel prices in the international markets have continued to drop by 9% over 2Q11 and showed stability in comparison to the previous quarter, according to the CRUspiGlobal index. This relative stability of raw materials (steel and copper) prices is beneficial to our business. These prices are international or, at least, follow similar trends in the various global markets. Thus, the cost conditions are very similar to the various competitors, regardless of the location of its manufacturing operations. The selling prices for most of our products are recalculated according to the characteristics of each application, and tend to reflect current market conditions, incorporating costs increases naturally and gradually. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) represented 15.1% of net operating revenues in the 2Q12, well within the usual behavior for these accounts (14.6% of operating revenues in 2Q11 and 15.3% of operating revenues in 1Q12) and in line with the constant efforts to rationalize and increased productivity. EBITDA and EBITDA Margin As a result of the aforementioned effects, the EBITDA in 2Q12 (calculated according to the methodology defined by CVM Ofício Circular 01/07) totaled R$ 260.0 million, an increase of 20.6% over 2Q11 and of 24.6% over the previous quarter. EBITDA margin reached 17.0%, 0.1 percentage point higher compared to the 2Q11 and 1.8 percentage point higher compared to the 1Q12.

Financial expenses totaled R$ 148.0 million (R$ 69.3 million in 2Q11 and R$ 81.9 million in 1Q12). In this quarter, net financial income was negative in R$ 13.5 million (positive in R$ 42.1 million in 2Q11 and positive in R$ 45.9 million in 1Q12). The increase in financial expenses in this second quarter was due to the effect of devaluation of the Brazilian Real on the portion of debt denominated in foreign currencies. This debt in other currencies is used exclusively for export financing and cash flow protection. It is always import remember that this is an accounting impact. Considering cash flows, these trade finance loans will be amortized over the coming months as receivables from exports also denominated in foreign currencies come due. Income Tax and Social Contribution The Income Tax and Social Contribution Tax on Net Profit provision in 2Q12 reached R$ 56.2 million (R$ 58.8 million in 2Q11 and R$ 48.5 million in 1Q12). Additionally, R$ 9.7 million were recorded as “Deferred income tax / social contribution” (R$ 10.9 million in 2Q11 and R$ 5.2 million in 1Q12). Net Income As a result of the previously discussed impacts, mainly from the accounting effect of the Brazilian Real devaluation on financial expenses, net income for 2Q12 was R$ 139.8 million, a decline of 9.5% over 2Q11 and of 5,7% over the previous quarter. The net margin of the quarter was 9.1%, 3.0 percentage point lower compared to the 2Q11 and 1.7 percentage point lower compared to the 1Q12. Operating cash flow Cash flow from operating activities in the first half of 2012 totaled R$ 291.7 million, a decrease of 18% over the same period of 2011. The expansion of activities increased operating cash flow, which was offset by increased working capital needs, due either to the increase of R$ 99.5 million in inventory and of R$ 171.1 million in accounts receivable, partially offset by increased R$ 149.7 million in accounts payable. Capex Investments in expansion and modernization of production capacity amounted to R$ 114.2 million in the first six months of 2012, being 92% directed to industrial units and other facilities in Brazil and the remaining to production units and other subsidiaries abroad. As previously announced, we observe a gradual acceleration in our investment program over 2011. It is expected that investments in 2012 will reach approximately R$ 300 million. 6 | WEG S.A. | 2012 Second Quarter Results Earnings Release Investments in Fixed Assets (R$ million) Outside Brazil Brazil 63,1 33,8 8,2 49,9 41,1 1,0 5,0 3,7 62,1 53,7 51,9 Q4 Q1 Q2 7,3 2,4 25,6 38,8 42,6 Q1 Q2 Q3 55,5 58,7 2011 2012 Acquisition of Stardur In June 19, we announced the acquisition of Stardur Tintas Especiais Ltda., a company specialized in manufacturing and marketing of coatings such as high and low solids, engineered plastics, water soluble, coil coating and automotive repainting segment, complementing WEG’s coatings business unit product portfolio.

Cash flow from investing activities Investing activities consumed R$ 227.3 million in the first half of 2012. We highlight, among the main changes, that there was a re-acceleration of investments in expansion and modernization of productive capacity in relation to the same period of 2011, which reached R$ 114.2 million. In addition, there was an increase of R$ 207.3 million in the accounts of fixed and intangible assets and goodwill arising from capital transactions and joint ventures acquired, such as the second tranche of ZEST, WEG-Cestari and Stardur.

WEG S.A. | 2012 Second Quarter Results | 9 Earnings Release Industrial ElectroElectronic Equipment The industrial electrical-electronic equipment area includes low and medium voltage electric motors, drives & controls, industrial automation equipment and services, and maintenance services and parts. We compete in all major markets with our products and solutions. Electric motors and other related equipment find applications in practically all industrial segments, in equipment such as compressors, pumps and fans, for example. Energy Generation, Transmission and Distribution (GTD) Products and services included in this area are electric generators for hydraulic and thermal power plants (biomass), hydro turbines (small hydroelectric plants or PCH), wind turbines, transformers, substations, control panels and system integration services. In the GTD area in general and specifically in power generation, investment maturing terms are longer, with slower investment decisions and longer project and manufacturing lead times. As such, new orders are only recognized as revenue after a few months, upon effective delivery to buyers. Motors for Domestic Use In this business area, our operations are mainly focused in Brazil, where we hold a significant share in the market of single-phase Motors for durable consumer goods, such as washing machines, air conditioners, water pumps, among others. This is a short cycle business and variations in consumer demand are rapidly transferred to the industry, with almost immediate impacts on production and revenue. Paints and Varnishes In this area, including liquid paints, powder paints and electro-insulating varnishes, we have very clear focus on industrial applications in Brazil, and are expanding to Latin America. Our strategy in this area is cross selling to customers from other operating areas. The target markets ranging from shipbuilding industry to the manufacturers of white line home appliances. We seek to maximize the scale of production and efforts to developed new products and new segments. The information contained in this report relating to WEG’s business perspectives, the projections and results and to the company’s growth potential should be considered as only estimates and were based on the management expectations relating to the future of the company. These expectations are highly influenced by the market conditions and the general economic performance of the country and of the foreign markets which may be subject to sudden change. 10 | WEG S.A. |
