KPMG does not state an opinion as to whether or not assumptions considered in the financial projections are correct or in relation to the probability of the future results of the Company reaching the projected values. It must be emphasized that the actual future realization of projections depends on the continuing validity of the assumptions they are based on. on Any advice, advice opinion or recommendation provided by KPMG as part of the engagement shall not amount to any form of guarantee that KPMG has determined or predicted future events or circumstances. Valuations, in general, present significant degrees of subjectivity. Furthermore, the projections and assumptions used in valuations are based in future expectations, which could be confirmed or not, in view of the fact that projected events may not occur, occur due to a number of exogenous economic and operating factors. Thus, there are no guarantees that any assumptions, estimates, projections, results or conclusions presented in the valuation report will be effectively observed and/or verified, in its entirely or partially. The figures observed in the future may be different and the differences may be significant. significant These possibilities are not a bias or a defect of the valuation process and are recognized as part of its nature. Hence, KPMG is not responsible and can not be held responsible for any differences between the valuation results and the results observed a posteriori. We emphasize that a valuation establishes an estimate value to be used for a theoretical interaction between a buyer and a seller, both with a firm intention of closing the deal, deal with full access to the relevant facts, facts without an immediate need to buy or sell. An effective negotiation does not always reflect these elements, and may include other elements, and consequently does not necessarily occur at the value estimated as result of the valuation exercise. © 2013 KPMG Corporate Finance Ltda., uma sociedade simples brasileira e firma-membro da rede KPMG de firmasmembro independentes e afiliadas à KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), uma entidade suíça.

In this regard, we note that our legislation is complex and very often the same provision can be interpreted in more than one way. KPMG seeks always to be up-to-date in relation to the various interpretative tendencies, in order to permit an ample evaluation of the alternatives and risks involved. Even so, so it is certain that there may be some interpretations of the law that differ from ours. Under these circumstances, neither KPMG, nor any other firm, can give Client total assurance that it will not be questioned by third parties or assessed for additional tax by the authorities, including supervisory agencies. Our services will be based on current legislation and regulations.

The DCF method is applicable to any company provided it has a business plan in place which is reasonably determinable and achievable. This criterion is especially applicable to companies that have reasonable prospects for expansion or significant changes in profitability parameters from its operations and which business plans are regarded as adequate to enable estimating and measuring these events. This criterion also includes the value of intangible assets such as trademarks, customer portfolio, and market share, since these assets can reflect the capacity to generate results of the company being valued. The DCF method is based on the concept that the value of a company is directly related to the amounts and periods during which free cash flows, derived from operations, will be available for distribution. Therefore, for the shareholder, the value of the company is measured by the amount of financial resources that are expected to be generated in the future by the business, discounted to present value, to reflect the time and risk associated with the cash generation. For valuation purposes, it is considered that 100% of excess cash flows would be available for distribution at the time they are generated. Contingent assets, non-operating assets and financial assets are added to the value obtained, as described above, while existing bank debts, loans, contingent liabilities and non operating liabilities are subtracted, when applicable, to obtain the equity value of the company. In order to calculate future cash flows generated by a company’s operations, income statements are projected. The projected values of depreciation and amortization are added back while the projected capital investments are deducted. In addition, appropriate net working capital adjustments are included. Other items that affect the company’s cash flow are also considered when appropriate. © 2013 KPMG Corporate Finance Ltda., uma sociedade simples brasileira e firma-membro da rede KPMG de firmasmembro independentes e afiliadas à KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), uma entidade suíça. Todos os direitos reservados. Impresso no Brasil. It is important to point out that the net profit calculated in the income projections should not be compared with the accounting net profit to be reported in subsequent financial years. This is due to the fact, among other reasons, that the effective net income is impacted by non-operating or nonrecurrent factors, which (since they are not known in advance or foreseeable) are not considered in the projections, such as occasional revenue, non-operating revenue, revenues and/or expenses with monetary and exchange variations, and others. The purpose of projecting future income statements is to calculate the projected cash flows of the Company that is being valued and comprises future cash flows available for both shareholders and creditors of the company. At this stage of the valuation, the objective is to determine the capacity it to t generate t cash h from f th company’s the ’ normall operations, ti i other in th words, its potential to generate wealth to its capital providers as/or a result of its operating characteristics. The calculation of the discount rate is a fundamental stage of any valuation. This single factor reflects subjective aspects which vary from investor to investor such as cost of opportunity and personal perception of the investment risk involved. involved The weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) is generally used as the discount rate to be applied to the projected cash flows of companies. The WACC is calculated on the basis of a capital structure to be adopted over the long term to finance the operations of the company being valued and based on the average weighted cost of equity capital and third parties capital, it l inherent i h t to t the th company’s ’ capital it l structure. t t Valuation Report 8 Contents Page 1.

Assumptions Initial considerations Discount period • • For the year in which the cash flows are generated, we considered the assumption that the monthly flows have different values over time. Therefore, the cash flows at the beginning of the year should be discounted for less time than those at the end of the year. • Consequently, for practical reasons, the period’s cash flows were discounted as they occurred in the middle point of each period. The assumptions used in the projections were provided the Management team of Natura and were analyzed by KPMG. Currency • The projections were made using the Australian Dollar as a currency and were prepared in nominal terms (taking into account the effects of inflation), as of the base-date of January 31, 2013. Other considerations Projection horizon • From a theoretical p point of view the p projection j horizon would extend to infinity given the longevity of the industry that the Company operates in. However, due to practical reasons (including the difficulty of estimating parameters for longer periods), we considered a projection horizon limited to a few years, according to the Company’s characteristics and current situation. A terminal value is then added at the end of this period. • In this review,, observing g the characteristics of the Company, p y, it was considered a forecast horizon of six years and five months, from the base date until June 30, 2019. • The terminal value was calculated based on a perpetual future cash flows, based on the normalized value of the operating cash flow of last year of the projection, 2019. According to the characteristics of the Company was also considered the p perpetuity p y of cash flows after the forecast p period,, based on the following formula and the nominal growth rate of 50% of the projected growth for the Australian GDP (2.38% p.a.): Perpetuity value by the end of the last year of projection j ti = Normalized free cash flow of the last year (Discount rate - Perpetuity growth rate) © 2013 KPMG Corporate Finance Ltda., uma sociedade simples brasileira e firma-membro da rede KPMG de firmasmembro independentes e afiliadas à KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), uma entidade suíça.

Discount rate Methodology for the calculation of the discount rate Establishing the discount rate is a fundamental stage of the economic valuation. This single factor reflects aspects of a subjective nature, varying from one investor to another, such as opportunity cost and individual perception of investment risk. WACC Cost of equity q y ((Ke)) The Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) was used was an appropriate parameter to calculate the discount rate to be applied to the Company’s cash flows. The WACC methodology takes into consideration various financing components used by companies to finance its cash needs, including debt and equity cost, and is calculated according g to the chart below: Cost of equity may be calculated through the Capital Assets Pricing Model (CAPM). The cost of equity was calculated according to the following formula: Ke Cost of equity = WACC Weighted Average Cost of Capital = D/(D+E) x (Rf + ß* (E[Rm] - Rf) + Rb + Rs Kd * (1-t) + E/(D+E) ( ) Where: D E t Kd Ke = = = = = x Total Debt Total Equity Tax rate Cost of debt Cost of equity © 2013 KPMG Corporate Finance Ltda., uma sociedade simples brasileira e firma-membro da rede KPMG de firmasmembro independentes e afiliadas à KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), uma entidade suíça.

Discount rate (cont.) Cost of equity Risk free rate • The Australian Treasuryy bond of 15 yyears,, of 3.35 % was used for average g risk free return (Rf) (Source: Bloomberg). Beta calculation • • Beta is the specific risk coefficient of the shares of a company compared to a market index, representing the stock market as a whole. In the case of valuations of companies that are listed and have significant negotiations on the stock exchange, the share Beta is calculated by the correlation of weekly returns of their own stocks compared to the selected market index during a certain period prior to the valuation date. In the case of companies that are not listed on the stock exchange, or which do not have significant trading volumes, the company’s Beta can be represented using the average beta for the sector in which the company operates. t Th Thus, th average Beta the B t for f the th sector t is i calculated l l t d based b d on the th average correlations of weekly returns of several companies from the same sector, in relation to the weekly returns of the market index during a certain period. In order to estimate the Company’s Beta, the average Beta of comparable companies p from the cosmetics sector was used. This Beta was obtained byy averaging the unlevered Betas of comparable companies shown in the following table, with the value of 0.73. This Beta was then re-leveraged according to the capital structure of the Company and at the current basic rate of income tax and social contribution incurred on the Company's operations. As a result the beta utilized was 0 99 0.99. © 2013 KPMG Corporate Finance Ltda., uma sociedade simples brasileira e firma-membro da rede KPMG de firmasmembro independentes e afiliadas à KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”), uma entidade suíça.

Comparable company multiples analysis Comparable company multiples analysis • The market multiples analysis obtains the market values of similar companies listed on stock exchanges and uses this as a basis for estimating the value of a particular company. • Since the market values of these companies are calculated based on its trading share value on stock exchanges, which typically are not equivalent to the acquisition share price, the use of these multiples can be used as a parameter to the valuation of acquisition of minority stakes in companies. • As a result, we use this criterion to evaluate the EV/EBITDA multiple would be reasonable for the exercise of stock options and sale agreement between the parties concerning minority equity investments that will remain with the former controlling shareholders of the Company. • The following table presents the EV/EBITDA market multiples of the comparable companies as of the base-date.
