This document contains the summary of Braskem's 1Q11 conference call with investors. It reports that Braskem's 1Q11 revenue grew 6% year-over-year in Brazilian real terms due to higher prices, though EBITDA was impacted by a power outage. Braskem remains committed to financial strength as seen by credit rating upgrades to investment grade. Synergies from the Quattor acquisition totaled R$75 million in 1Q11. Braskem's outlook remains positive due to emerging market demand, though oversupply and volatility remain challenges in the short-term. Priorities include growing the Brazilian petrochemical chain and capturing synergies from recent acquisitions.
