A few years ago, I asked someone in PBR’s IR department why there was a 10-day delay between the date when PBR reported financial results and the date when executives held the conference call to discuss the results. The answer: Carnaval!

Perhaps a culture in which people do not take themselves too seriously is a good thing :- )
