Report of Independent Auditors

 

To

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Raízen S.A.

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen S.A. (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated and combined consolidated statements of financial position as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the related combined consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined consolidated financial statements”). 

 

In our opinion, the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated and combined financial position of the Company at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Basis for opinion

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Basis of preparation and presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements and restriction on distribution or use

 

We draw attention to Note 2.1 to the combined consolidated financial statements, which describes the basis of preparation and presentation of combined consolidated financial statements. The combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared for the purpose of allowing the shareholders and management of Raízen S.A. to assess the combined consolidated financial position of Raízen S.A. as of March 31, 2021, and its combined consolidated financial performance for the years ended on March 31, 2022 and 2021. Consequently, the combined consolidated financial statements may not be suitable for another purpose. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Responsibilities of Management for the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined consolidated financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the combined consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined consolidated financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: 



Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.


We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Independent auditor’s report on the

combined consolidated financial statements


To

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A.:

Report on the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen Energia S.A. and Raízen Combustíveis S.A. (“Raízen Group”), which comprise the combined consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2020, and the related notes to the combined consolidated financial statements (collectively referred, the combined consolidated financial statements).

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these combined consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of combined consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the combined consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the combined consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the combined consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of Raizen Group for the  year ended March 31, 2020 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Emphasis of matter

We draw your attention to Notes 1.1 and 2.1 to the combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen Group, which describes the basis of preparation and presentation of these combined consolidated financial statements. These combined consolidated financial statements do not necessarily represent the financial performance or related cash flows that would have been obtained if the Raízen Group had operated as a single legal entity during the period. The combined consolidated financial statements were prepared to present the financial performance and cash flows of the entities under common indirect joint control of Cosan S.A. and Royal Dutch Shell and, therefore, may not be useful for other purposes. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

1.            Operations             

 

Raízen S.A. (“Raízen” or “Company”), formerly Raízen Combustíveis S.A., is a publicly-held company enrolled in the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”) in Category A, whose registration request was granted on May 28, 2021, and headquartered at Avenida Almirante Barroso, 81, 36th floor, room 32B109, in the city of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil.

On June 1st, 2021, the shareholders of Cosan S.A. and Shell PLC approved a corporate reorganization (the “Corporate Reorganization”), pursuant to which they contributed all their shares in Raízen Energia S.A. (“RESA”) to Raízen S.A. As a result of the Corporate Reorganization, RESA became a wholly owned subsidiary of Raizen S.A.

In the Special General Meeting (“SGM”) held on June 2, 2021, Raízen’s shareholders approved the change of the corporate name to Raízen S.A.

 

On August 5, 2021, within the scope of the initial public offering of shares (“IPO”) of the Company, the process of trading its preferred shares at B3 SA – Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (“B3”) began, under ticker name “RAIZ4”, in the listing segment named Level 2 of corporate governance. See Note 21.a.

 

Raízen’s main activities are: (i) distribution and sale of ethanol and oil, fuels and other fluid hydrocarbons and their by-products; (ii) trade of natural gas and operation as sales representative for the sale of lubricants at full stations fuel; (iii) operations related to convenience and proximity stores; (iv) research and industrial and commercial use of new energy sources; (v) development and licensing of technology on a global scale relating to the production of sugar and ethanol; (vi) importing and exporting of the abovementioned products; (vii) oil refining and production and sale of automotive and industrial lubricants through its Argentine subsidiaries; (viii) production, trading and sale of sugar, ethanol and pellets through the subsidiaries Raízen Energia S.A.

(“Biosev”), as well as the cogeneration of energy through sugarcane bagasse and by electric power trading business, (ix) sale of energy, development, implementation, operation and maintenance of plants for the generation of electric power from renewable sources and (x) equity interest in other companies.

 

The planting of sugarcane requires a period of 12 to 18 months for maturation and the harvest period generally starts between the months of April and May of each year and ends, in general, between the months of November and December, period in which sugar and ethanol production also takes place. Production is sold throughout the year and is not subject to seasonal variations, only normal market supply and demand. Due to their production cycle, the fiscal year of the subsidiaries RESA and Biosev, as well as that of Raízen, begins on April 1st and ends on March 31 of each year.

(“Biomassa”), formerly Cosan Biomassa S.A., for the price of R$ 1.00 (one Real), and assuming certain debt. The debt has guarantees of Cosan that were transferred to Raízen after the completion of the acquisition. See details about this business combination in Note 31.2.ii.

 

(vi)          RZ Agrícola Caarapó Ltda.

 

On October 25, 2019, RESA entered into a share purchase and sale agreement with Nova América Agrícola Ltda., which establishes the terms and conditions for the acquisition of shares of RZ Agrícola Caarapó Ltda. held by Nova América Agrícola Ltda.  (100% of the capital) for R$ 162,434. See details about this business combination in Note 31.2.i.

 

(c)           Covid-19

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Covid-19 outbreak to be a pandemic. The government authorities of various countries, including Brazil, imposed virus containment restrictions. In this scenario, Raízen implemented a contingency plan with the objective of preserving the health and integrity of its employees, in addition to ensuring the safety and continuity of its operations as its products and services are considered essential activities, since they are strategic inputs for hospitals and for the security, food and power segments.

 

Raízen continues to monitor the evolution of Covid-19 and the effects on its business and on the assessment of the key critical accounting estimates and judgments, as well as on other balances with the potential to generate uncertainties and impacts on the financial statements. The most significant assessments and the main effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the results of operations are as follows:



Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

(i)            Going concern assumption

 

Raízen’s financial statements were prepared and are disclosed considering the going concern assumption regarding its key activities.

 

(ii)           Impairment of non-financial assets and tax credits

 

Raízen assessed the indications of impairment losses on nonfinancial assets and tax credits and concluded that, even with a potential reduction in cash flows and for the 2022/23 harvest, the value in use of the cash-generating units continues to be significantly higher than the carrying amount, and, in the case of taxes, the expectation of the taxable base of the main taxes remains, in addition to the fact that most of the taxes do not have an expiry date for offsetting purposes.

 

(iii)         Net realizable value of inventories

 

Raízen uses the estimated sales price in the ordinary course of business, net of selling expenses, as net realizable value assumption. Therefore, particularly due to the price fluctuation and consumption volatility in certain regions arising from social distancing, provision for estimated loss on inventories realization, obsolescence and other was recognized in the amount of R$ 73,902 as of March 31, 2022 (R$ 42,707 in 2021 and R$ 123,978 in 2020) in the combined consolidated.

 

(iv)          Allowance for expected credit losses

The impairment losses associated with the credit risk on financial assets are calculated based on the future expectation of loss, considering the individual situation of the clients and of the economic group to which they belong. Considering that Raízen operates mostly with guarantees from its clients, it carries out a careful credit analysis and when applicable requires cash advances for shipping of products, there was no significant additional recognition due to Covid-19.

(v)           Liquidity

 

Raízen ended the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 with a consolidated cash and cash equivalents of R$ 8,234,568 (R$ 6,512,805 in 2021), due to these conditions we are able to support group activities, if necessary. In the same year, consolidated working capital (current assets less current liabilities) totaled a positive balance of R$ 6,630,133 (R$ 4,009,344 in 2021) and combined consolidated net income amounted to R$ 3,278,632 (R$ 1,546,841 in 2021 and R$ 2,395,717 in 2020).

 

(d)          Conflict in Eastern Europe between Russia and Ukraine

 

This conflict and its geopolitical developments continue to put pressure on prices of oil, oil by-products, gas and fertilizers in the international market, as Russia is the world’s second largest oil producer and a major producer of inputs for fertilizers such as nitrate, phosphorus and potassium.

 

Due to this scenario, and considering the importance of these commodities in Raízen’s operations, management understands that the increase in the costs of oil and its by-products, and of fertilizer inputs currently observed in the market, up to date, does not have a material impact on its combined consolidated financial statements due to its practice of maintaining prudential inventory levels and a  hedge policy, which aims to protect its results against changes in currency prices and commodities in general.

 


Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

Raízen constantly monitors the international markets for these commodities and through trade initiatives and a supply strategy, it intends to minimize possible financial impacts and risks of disruption in the supply of its operations, seeking viable alternatives for products and supplier countries in the event of short supply of any products or inputs.

 

Governments and authorities around the world have recently announced sanctions for certain industrial sectors in Russia.  These and any additional sanctions, as well as responses from Russia or governments of other jurisdictions, may adversely affect Raízen’s business.

(e)           Other information

 

The synergy between its businesses gives Raízen a unique position in the Brazilian and Latin American markets. The group companies complement each other, thus presenting the combined consolidated business is currently fundamental for the market to view Raízen as a whole, demonstrating, through these combined consolidated financial statements, information that better reflects the operating cash generation from its activities.

 

2              Presentation of the financial statements and significant accounting policies

 

2.1.          Basis of preparation

 

As required by the SEC to shareholder Cosan, the combined consolidated financial statements were prepared and are presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and evidence all relevant information specific to the financial statements, and only such information, which is consistent with that used for management of the Company.

 

Issuance of these combined consolidated financial statements was authorized by management on September 27, 2022.

 

Corporate Reorganization -Predecessor Method

 

As metioned in Note 1, on June 1st, 2021, the shareholders of Cosan S.A. and Shell PLC approved the Corporate Reorganization and contributed all their shares in RESA to Raízen S.A. through a capital increase in Raizen S.A. As a result, RESA became a wholly owned subsidiary of Raizen S.A..

 

IFRS provides no guidelines for the accounting of corporate reorganizations among entities under common control, as such, based on the guidance of International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, paragraphs 10 through 12, the Company developed and applied and accounting policy, considering the most recent pronouncements of other standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop accounting standards other accounting literature and industry practices.

 

As a result, the Company accounted for the Corporate Reorganization using the predecessor method of accounting, and the consolidated financial statements are presented “as if” Raízen Energia S.A. and Raizen S.A. combined (the “Raizen Group”) are the predecessor of the Company prior to the Corporate Reorganization. Under the predecessor method, the historical operations of Raízen Energia S.A. and Raizen S.A. are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, these combined consolidated financial statements reflect:


Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 


(i) the consolidated results and financial position of Raízen S.A following the Corporate Reorganization;

(ii) the historical combined consolidated operating results and financial position of the Raízen Group prior to the Corporate Reorganization;

(iii) the combined consolidated assets and liabilities of Raízen Group at their historical cost;

(iv) Raizen’s earnings per share for the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The number of ordinary shares outstanding of Raízen S.A., as a result of the Corporate Reorganization is reflected retroactively for purposes of calculating earnings per share in all prior periods presented. See note 18; and


The combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen Group prior to the Corporate Organization are presented exclusively for the purpose of providing, through a single set of financial statements, information relating to all activities of the Raízen Group, regardless of its corporate structure.

 

Therefore, these combined consolidated financial statements for the periods prior to the Corporate Reorganization do not represent the individual or consolidated financial statements of an entity and its subsidiaries and should not be considered for purposes of calculating dividends, taxes or for other corporate purposes, nor can they be used as an indicator of the financial performance that could be obtained if the entities considered in the combination had operated as a single independent entity or as an indication of the profit or loss from these entities’ operations for any year in the future.

 

 

(a)           Basis of measurement

 

The combined consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis, except, when applicable, for the valuation of certain assets and liabilities, such as short-term investments, marketable securities, inventories, financial instruments (including derivative instruments), certain loans and financing, and biological assets, which are measured at fair value.

 

(b)          Functional and presentation currency

 

The combined consolidated financial statements are presented in Brazilian reais, which is also Raízen’s functional currency. The functional currency of subsidiaries operating in the international economic environment is the U.S. dollar, except for subsidiary B&R, whose functional currency is the Paraguayan Guarani. All balances were rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements of each subsidiary included in the consolidation and combination, as well as those used as a basis for investments measured by the equity method, are prepared based on the functional currency of each entity. For subsidiaries located abroad, their assets and liabilities were converted into Reais at the exchange rate at the end of the year and the results were calculated at the average monthly rate during the year. The translation effects are stated in equity from these subsidiaries.

(c)           Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

 

The preparation of the combined consolidated financial statements requires that management make judgments and estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the amounts disclosed referring to revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities as of the financial statements reporting date.

 

These estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are reviewed and in any subsequent periods affected.

 

If there is a significant change in the facts and circumstances on which the assumptions and estimates are based, statement of income and the financial position of Raízen could be significantly impacted.

 

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions are as follows:

 

Income tax, social contribution and other taxes payable

 

Raízen is subject to income tax and social contribution, when applicable, in all countries in which it operates. Accordingly, a significant judgment is required to determine the provision for these taxes.

 

In certain transactions, the final determination of the tax is uncertain. When applicable, Raízen also recognizes provisions to cover certain situations in which it is probable that additional tax amounts will be due. When the result of these matters is different from the amounts initially estimated and recorded, these differences affect current and deferred tax assets and liabilities and income or comprehensive income for the period in which the definitive amount is determined.

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution assets are recognized for all unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which losses can be used in the future. Additionally, Raízen recognizes deferred taxes based on temporary differences determined from the tax base and the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities, using the rates in force. Management’s significant professional judgment is required to determine the deferred income tax and social contribution tax assets to be recognized based on reasonable timing and future taxable profit level, jointly with future tax planning strategies. See Note 18.

 

Biological assets

 

Biological assets are measured at fair value on each statement of financial position date and the effects of changes in fair value between periods are allocated directly to the cost of products sold. See Note 8.

 

Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including goodwill

 

The accounting treatment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets includes making estimates to determine the useful life for depreciation and amortization purposes, in addition to the fair value on the acquisition date, especially regarding assets acquired in business combinations. Raízen annually assesses the impairment indicators of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, subject to depreciation and amortization, are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recovered. Determination of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill was attributed also includes the use of estimates and requires significant judgment by management. See Note 14.

Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

Provision for legal disputes 

 

Raízen recognize the provision for tax, civil, labor and environmental legal disputes. Determination of the likelihood of loss includes determination of evidence available, hierarchy of laws, jurisprudence available, more recent court decisions and relevance thereof in legal system, as well as evaluation of internal and external attorneys. Such provisions are reviewed and adjusted to take into account changes in circumstances, such statute of limitations applicable, tax inspection conclusions or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions. See Note 19.

 

Fair value of financial instruments

 

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities presented in the statement of financial position may not be obtained from active markets, it is determined using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow method. The data for these methods are based on those adopted in the market, whenever possible. However, when this is not possible, a certain level of judgment is required to establish the fair value. Judgment includes considerations of the inputs used, such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in the assumptions relating to these factors could affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. See Note 28.

 

Lease liabilities

 

Management exercises significant judgment in determining the assumptions used to measure lease liabilities, such as determining the term of the various lease agreements, discount rates, the agreements that are within the scope of the standard, and the impacts of any changes in the assumptions associated with the judgments and estimates adopted by Raízen and its subsidiaries. Further details are presented in Note 16.b.

 

Share-based payment

 

Management exercises judgment in determining the assumptions used in measuring and recognizing the fair value of share-based payment on the date of grant and in determining the impacts of any changes on the assumptions associated with the judgments and estimates adopted by Raízen and its subsidiaries. For further details, see Note 22.


2.2.          Basis of consolidation

As of March 31, 2022, the combined consolidated financial statements include financial information of Raízen and its subsidiaries and of boutique investment funds, as from the corporate reorganization occurred on June 1st, 2021 (Notes 1 and 2.1).

2.3.          Summary of significant accounting policies

The main accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are

defined below. Those accounting policies have been applied consistently to all the years presented,

unless otherwise stated.

 

(a)           Revenue recognition

 

Revenues from sales of products (Note 23) are recognized on the delivery to the client. Delivery is considered to be the moment when the client accepts the products and the risks and benefits from the ownership are transferred. Revenue is recognized at this time as long as revenue and costs can be reliably measured, receipt of the consideration is likely and there is no continuous involvement of management with the products. Sales prices are established based on purchase orders or contracts.

 

Revenue from rental and storage comprises rental of gas stations and storage of fuel at the terminals of Raízen and its subsidiaries and is recognized based on the effective provision of services, under Other operating revenue, net (Note 26).

 

Revenue is stated net of taxes: State VAT (“ICMS”), Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Integration Program (“PIS”), Contribution Tax on Gross Revenue for Social Security Financing (“COFINS”), Social Contribution Tax for Intervention in the Economic Order (“CIDE”), Fuel Transfer Tax (“ITC”), Value Added Tax (“IVA”); and Tax on Gross Income (“IIB”)), returns, rebates and discounts, amortization referring to exclusive supply rights, as well as eliminations of sales between group companies, in the case of the consolidated financial statements.

 

Revenue from the sale of cogeneration of power of RESA and Biosev is recorded based on the power available on the network and at rates specified under the terms of the supply agreements or the market price in force, as applicable. The calculation of the volume of energy delivered to the buyer occurs monthly. Clients gain control of electricity from the moment they consume it. Due to the flow of billing of certain agreements, the electric power produced and sold through auction is initially recorded as anticipated revenue, recognized in the statement of income for the year only when available for use by clients.

 

Energy operations are traded on an active market and, for accounting purposes, they meet the definition of financial instruments at fair value. RESA and Biosev recognize revenue when the energy is delivered to the client at the fair value of the consideration. In addition, unrealized net gains resulting from mark-to-market – difference between contracted and market prices – from open net contracted operations on the date of the financial statements are recognized as revenue.

 


Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

(b)          Transactions in foreign currency

 

Foreign currency transactions are initially recognized by the group’s entities at the functional currency in effect on the transaction date or on the valuation dates, when the items are remeasured.

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are converted into reais using the exchange rate in effect on the date of the respective statement of financial position, and foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement of these transactions and from translation using the exchange rates at the year-end are recognized in the “Financial Result”, as finance income (costs), except when qualified as hedge accounting and, therefore, recognized in the statement of comprehensive income.

 

Nonmonetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the initial transaction date. Nonmonetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency, if any, are translated using the exchange rates prevailing on the date when the fair value was determined.

 

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of an entity abroad (entities with a functional currency different from the Parent Company) are treated as assets and liabilities of the entity abroad and translated at the closing rate, and the adjustments resulting from the translation are also recognized in equity as cumulative translation adjustments.

 

(c)           Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement

 

(i)            Financial assets

 

Measurement

Upon initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured: (i) at amortized cost; (ii) at fair value through other comprehensive income; or (iii) at fair value through profit or loss.

 

Reclassification between classes occurs when there is a change in the business model for the management of financial assets and liabilities. In this case, all instruments related to the change are reclassified at the time of the change.

 

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss: (i) the objective is to maintain financial assets to receive contractual cash flows; and (ii) its contractual terms generate, on specific dates, cash flows that are related to the payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

 

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss: (i) the objective is both the receipt of contractual cash flows and the sale of financial assets; and (ii) the contractual terms give rise, at specified dates, to cash flows that are Solely Payment of Principal and Interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.

 

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, as described above, are classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

Business model evaluation

Raízen conducts an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held in the portfolio because it better reflects the way in which the business is managed and the information is provided to management.

 

Information includes: (i) the policies and objectives set for the portfolio and the operation of the policies. These include the issue of whether management’s strategy focuses on obtaining contractual interest income, maintaining a certain interest rate profile, the correspondence between the duration of financial assets and the duration of related liabilities or expected cash outflows, or the realization of cash flows through the sale of assets; (ii) how the portfolio’s performance is assessed and reported to Raízen’s management; (iii) the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial asset held within that business model) and the way those risks are managed; (iv) how the business executives are compensated - for instance, if the compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or on the contractual cash flows obtained; and (v) the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in previous periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales.

 

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales, in a manner consistent with the continuous recognition of Raízen’s assets.

 

Financial assets held for trading or managed with performance assessed based on fair value are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Evaluation whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For purposes of assessment of contractual cash flows, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. “Interest” is substantially defined as a consideration for the time value of money and the credit risk associated with the principal outstanding over a given period of time and the other basic risks and costs of borrowing (for example, liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

 

Raízen considers the contractual terms of the instrument to assess whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or the value of the contractual cash flows so that it would not meet this condition. When making this assessment, Raízen considers: (i) contingent events that change the amount or timing of cash flows; (ii) terms that can adjust the contractual rate, including variable rates; (iii) prepayment and extension of the term; and (iv) the terms that limit Raízen’s access to cash flows from specific assets (for example, based on the performance of an asset).

 

Impairment of financial assets

Raízen applies the expected credit loss model to financial assets measured at amortized cost, contractual assets and debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, but not to investments in equity instruments.

 

The expected loss matrix adopted by Raízen considers the grouping of clients with similar default characteristics, by sales channel and rating (client risk rating, measured internally).

 

(ii)           Financial liabilities

 

These are measured at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss, comprising, in the case of Raízen, mainly, mostly loans and financing, balances payable to suppliers and related parties, and derivative financial instruments.

 

Payments of interest on loans and financing are classified as cash flow from financing activities.

(iii)         Offset of financial instruments - net presentation

 

Financial assets and liabilities are presented net in the statement of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

 

(iv)         Derecognition (write-off)

 

A financial asset is derecognized when: (i) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset expire; and (ii) Raízen transfers its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or assumes an obligation to fully pay the cash flows received to a third party under a pass-through arrangement, and (a) Raízen transfers substantially all risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) Raízen neither transfers nor retains substantially all risks and rewards related to the asset, but transfers control thereover.

 

A financial liability is written off when the obligation under the liability is extinguished, which means when the obligation specified in the contract is settled, canceled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender in substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective book values ​​is recognized in the statement of income.

 

(v)           Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

 

The cash flow hedging relationships of highly probable future exports or imports are considered to be continuous hedging relationships and qualify for hedge accounting.

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

Raízen uses derivative financial instruments, such as currency forward contracts, commodity forward contracts and swaps to hedge against the risk of changes in exchange rates and commodities prices. Derivative financial instruments designated in hedging transactions are initially recognized at fair value on the date when the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently also revalued at fair value. Derivatives are stated as financial assets when the instrument’s fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when negative.

Any gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives during the year are recognized directly in profit or loss, with the exception of instruments designated as hedge accounting, such as cash flow hedge, which is recognized directly in equity, in other comprehensive income. The fair value of financial instruments that do not qualify as hedge accounting are recognized in profit or loss for the year, in the case of instruments related to operating transactions, in operating accounts (for example: revenue, cost, expenses) and, in the case of instruments related to financial operations, as finance income (costs).

The following classifications apply for hedge accounting purposes: (i) fair value hedge by hedging against exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an unrecognized firm commitment, or an identified part of such an asset, liability or firm commitment that is attributable to a specific risk and may affect profit or loss; (ii) cash flow hedge by hedging against changes in cash flows that are attributable to a specific risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable anticipated transaction that may affect profit or loss; or (iii) net investment hedge in a foreign operating unit.



Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

Upon initial recognition of a hedge relationship, Raízen formally classifies and documents the hedge relationship to which Raízen wishes to apply hedge accounting, as well as management’s risk management objective and strategy for hedge purposes, and robust practices exercised by management, which, among others, provides that there is no over hedge in relation to the underlying instruments.

The documentation substantially includes: (i) identification of the hedging instrument; (ii) the hedged item or transaction; (iii) the nature of the hedged risk; (iv) statement confirming that the transaction is within management’s policies and practices; and (v) statement confirming the correlation of the hedging instrument for the purpose of offsetting the exposure to the change in the fair value of the hedged item or cash flows related to the hedged risk. The highly probable nature of the projected hedged transaction as well as the projected periods of transfer of gains or losses arising from hedging instruments from equity to profit or loss, are also included in the hedging relationship documentation.

In practice, the main hedges that meet the criteria for hedge accounting are listed below:

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of the gain or loss of the hedging instrument is recognized directly in equity, under other comprehensive income, while the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the year.

The amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are transferred to profit or loss when the hedged transaction affects profit or loss, for example, when the hedged income or expense is recognized or when a forecasted sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a nonfinancial asset or liability, the amounts recorded in equity are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset or liability. If occurrence of the expected transaction or firm commitment is no longer expected, the amounts previously recognized in equity are transferred to profit or loss. If the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised without replacement or rollover, or if its classification as hedge is revoked, gains or losses previously recognized in comprehensive income remain in equity until the expected transaction or firm commitment affects profit or loss.

Net investment hedge in foreign entities

Hedge of net investment in foreign operations is accounted for similarly to cash flow hedge. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument related to the effective hedge portion is recognized under equity, in “Equity valuation adjustments”. The gain or loss related to the ineffective portion is immediately recognized in profit or loss. Accumulated gains and losses in equity are included in profit or loss for the year, when the foreign investment is sold.

Fair value hedge and fair value option of certain financial liabilities

 

Raízen designates certain debts (Note 17) as liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, to eliminate or significantly reduce inconsistencies in measurement that would otherwise result in the recognition of gains and losses on the loans and derivatives on different bases. As a result, fluctuations in the fair value of loans are recognized under “Finance result”, as finance costs.

 

Fair value hedge - inventories

 

Raízen designates inventories of by-products with pegged derivatives at fair value, as detailed in Notes 7 and 28.e.



Raízen S.A.

(d)           Decarbonization credits (“CBIO”)

 

Raízen is a fossil fuel distributor and has carbon credit retirement goals established by Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (“ANP”) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) under the terms of the new Brazil’s National Biofuels Policy.  Carbon credit is an asset that must be converted into cash through a transaction carried out by B3.

 

Raízen classifies the carbon credits as a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss. They are recognized under Other receivables, in current assets, and initially measured based on the carbon credit acquisition price. The goals established and published by the ANP remain in force until December of each year and are recorded by Raízen as provision in "Other liabilities", in current liabilities.

 

(e)           Inventories

 

In general, inventories are valued at the average cost of acquisition, with the exception of inventories with embedded derivatives, which are measured at fair value (Notes 7 and 28.e), not exceeding net realizable value. Cost is determined by the acquisition average cost method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs to sell.

 

RESA’s and Biosev’s inventories are valued at the average cost of acquisition or production, except for the inventories of indirect subsidiary Raízen Trading, which are measured at fair value and adjusted according to the price of commodities in the market, not exceeding net realizable value. The costs of finished products and work in process comprise raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and respective direct production expenses (based on normal operating capacity), less borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs to sell.

 

Estimated losses on slow-moving or obsolete inventories are recorded when there is no movement during a three-month period and they are not considered strategic by Raízen.

 

(f)            Biological assets

 

The biological assets of RESA and Biosev comprise unharvested cane cultivated in sugarcane crops, which will be used as a raw material source in the production of sugar, ethanol and bioenergy upon harvesting. The fair value measurement method is the cash flow discounted to present.  The valuation model considers the present value of expected cash flows to be generated, including projections of up to two years, considering the estimates of the effective date for cutting the unharvested cane.

 

Changes in fair values between the periods, as well as their amortization, are allocated to profit or loss under Cost of products sold and services provided.

(g)           Assets from contracts with clients

 

The assets from contracts with clients correspond to the bonuses granted to Raízen clients and are subject to deadlines and performance obligations, particularly the use of the quantities provided for in fuels supply contracts. As the contractual conditions are met, bonuses are amortized and recognized in the statement of income, under Net operating revenue (Note 23).

(h)           Investments in associates and joint ventures

 

Investments in entities over which Raízen has significant influence or shared control are accounted for using the equity method, initially recorded in the statement of financial position at cost, plus changes after the acquisition of equity interest.

 

The statement of income reflects the share of the profit or loss from associates and joint ventures based on the equity pickup method. When a change is directly recorded in equity of the associate or joint venture, Raízen recognizes its portion in the variations occurred and discloses this fact in the statement of changes in equity. After application of the equity method, Raízen establishes whether an additional impairment loss on its investment should be recorded. Raízen determines, at each statement of financial position date, whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate or joint venture is impaired. If that is the case, Raízen calculates the impairment amount as the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of the associate and joint venture and records this amount in the statement of income.

 

The accounting policies of the associates and joint ventures are adjusted, when necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Raízen.

 

(i)            Property, plant and equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment items, including sugarcane plantation, are measured at historical acquisition or construction cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.

 

Cost includes expenses directly attributable to the acquisition of an asset. The cost of assets built by the Company includes materials and direct labor, and any other cost to bring the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to operate as intended by management, as well as borrowing costs on qualifying assets. Borrowing costs related to funds raised for construction in progress are capitalized upon completion of these projects.

 

Expected expenses with removal of fuel storage tanks are estimated and recorded as part of the cost of property, plant and equipment, matched against the provision that will support such expenses, in current and non-current liabilities, depending on the expected term of the obligation.

 

RESA and Biosev carry out the main scheduled maintenance activities at their industrial units on an annual basis (off-season). This usually occurs between the months of January and March and aim to inspect and replace components. The key annual maintenance costs in RESA and Biosev include labor costs, materials, external services and overheads allocated during the off-season period. These costs are classified as parts and components with frequent replacement, under property, plant and equipment, and are fully amortized in the following harvest.



Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

The cost of an equipment item that requires annual replacement in RESA and Biosev is accounted for as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated during the following harvest. The costs of periodic maintenance are usually recorded as expenses when incurred since the replaced components do not improve the production capacity or introduce improvements to the equipment.

 

The cost of an equipment item that requires annual replacement is accounted for as a component of the cost of the equipment and depreciated during the following harvest.  The costs of periodic maintenance are usually recorded as expenses when incurred since the replaced components do not improve the production capacity or introduce improvements to the equipment.

 

Repair and maintenance expenses are charged to profit or loss as incurred. The cost of any renewal that increases the useful life shall be recorded in assets and included in the asset's carrying amount if it is probable that the future economic benefits after the renewal will exceed the performance standard initially assessed for the existing asset and these benefits will flow to Raízen. Major renovations are depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

 

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the sales amounts with the carrying amount and are recognized in Other operating revenue, net in the statement of income.

 

Land is not depreciated. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the depreciation of such assets was calculated based on the estimated useful life of each asset. The weighted average annual depreciation rates are as follows:

The residual values and useful lives of assets are reviewed by competent technical members and adjusted, if necessary, at each year-end.

 

(j)            Leases

 

With the adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, in 2019, Raízen started to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that were not paid on the transition date, discounted using Raízen’s incremental borrowing rate on loans, a fixed nominal rate based on Raízen’s indebtedness, equivalent to approximately 100% of the CDI for recognized leases.

In the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the discounted incremental borrowing rates applied in accordance with the contractual term were as follows:

The lease term is equivalent to the minimum non-cancellable period of the contracts and Raízen does not add to the lease term, the periods by a renewal option, except in cases where Raízen is reasonably certain that the renewal option will be exercised.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, comprising the value of the initial measurement of the lease liability and, when applicable, adjusted for any lease payments made in advance, initial direct costs incurred, cost estimates for dismantling and removal, and incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of the lease term, or if the cost of right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise the purchase option. In this case, the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as that of the property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

Raízen remeasures the lease liability if there is a change in the lease term or if there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in the index or rate used to determine these payments, and the remeasurement of the lease liability is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

(k)         Intangible assets

 

              Goodwill

 

Goodwill is the difference between the amount paid for the acquisition of a business and the net fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree. Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is disclosed under Investments and Intangible assets, in the combined consolidated financial statements, respectively.

 

Goodwill generated from acquisitions of Brazilian entities are recorded at cost in Reais and the goodwill resulting from the acquisition of an entity abroad (with a functional currency different from the Parent Company) is denominated in foreign currency and converted to Reais at the closing rate, any exchange difference is recorded in other comprehensive income. Goodwill is recorded at cost, less any impairment losses, when applicable, subjected to testing at least annually. For impairment test purposes, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, as of acquisition date, allocated to each cash generating unit of Raízen expected to benefit from the business combination, regardless of other assets or liabilities of the acquiree being attributed to these units.

              Intangible assets with defined useful life

 

Intangible assets with defined useful life are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization, and impairment losses, when applicable.

 

As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the annual weighted average amortization rates are as follows:

Estimated residual values and useful lives of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if applicable, at the end of each year.

 

(1)            Software license

 

Licenses acquired for computer programs are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful life by Raízen. Software maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Expenses directly associated with software, controlled by Raízen, which are likely to generate economic benefits are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

 

(2)            Brands

 

It corresponded to the right to use the Shell brand, contributed in the formation of Raízen by shareholder Shell, recognized at historical cost, which was in force until May 2021 and was renewed on the same date, and also the “Barcos & Rodados” brand as from the acquisition of B&R by Raízen on November 1st, 2021.

 

On May 20, 2021, Raízen renewed the License to Use the “Shell” Brand with Shell Brands International AG. With this renewal, Raízen maintains the right to use this brand, in the fuel distribution and related activities sector in Brazil, for a minimum period of 13 (thirteen) years, which can be renewed in certain cases, subject to compliance with certain conditions set out in the contract.

 

The brands are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract, in the case of the Shell brand, and over a period of 6 (six) years for the Barcos & Rodados brand, arising from the acquisition. For further details, see Note 31.1.ii.

 

(3)           Contractual relationships with clients

 

It corresponds to the intangible asset to relationships with clients with a definite useful life acquired in the business combination of Raízen Argentina and B&R and recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the contractual relationship with the client.

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

(4)           Agricultural partnership and sugarcane supply agreements

 

These classes of intangible classes were acquired in a business combination and were recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. They have a finite useful life and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method over the expected life of the contractual relationship with the supplier and the client.

 

(5)           Technology

 

Refers to technologies developed by Iogen Corp. for the production of second-generation ethanol (“E2G”), represented by contractual rights including, among others, exclusivity to RESA for the sale of these rights in the territories in which it operates.

 

(l)           Impairment of non-financial assets

 

Raízen assesses if there are indications of loss of value of an asset on an annual basis. If indications are identified, Raízen estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset item is the higher of: (a) its fair value less costs that would be incurred to sell it; and (b) its value in use. When necessary, the value in use is usually determined based on the discounted cash flow resulting from the continuous use of the asset until the end of its useful life.

 

Regardless of the existence of indications of impairment, goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life, are tested for impairment annually.

 

When the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the loss is recognized as an operating expense in the statement of income.

 

(m)         Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when: (i) Raízen has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, (ii) it is likely that an outflow of funds will be required to settle the obligation, and (iii) amount may be reliably estimated.

 

(n)          Employee benefits

 

Raízen has a supplementary pension plan composed of a defined contribution plan and a defined benefit portion, intended for all employees.

 

For the defined contribution, the expense is recognized in P&L when it occurs, while, for the defined benefit, Raízen recognizes a liability based on a methodology that considers a series of factors that are determined by actuarial calculations, which use certain assumptions to determine the cost (or revenue) for the pension plan.

 

Actuarial gains or losses arising from adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recorded directly in equity as other comprehensive income, when incurred.

Past service costs are immediately recognized in the statement of income.



Raízen S.A.

(o)           Share-based payment

 

Raízen approved the creation of the “Restricted Share Grant Program – New VLP” granted on March 29, 2022. At this same moment, Raízen’s eligible employees benefited from the plan through the share grant instrument.

 

The share-based equity settled payment plan is measured based on the fair value on the date the shares are granted and recognized as personnel expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the employees unconditionally become entitled to the benefits.

 

The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of shares for which the service conditions and non-market vesting conditions are expected to be met, so that the amount ultimately recognized as an expense is based on the number of shares that do meet the related service conditions and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no modification for differences between expected and actual benefits.

 

When the terms of an equity-settled transaction are modified (for example, by plan modifications), the recognized minimum expense is the fair value at the date of grant, provided that the original vesting conditions are met. An additional expense, measured at the modification date, is recognized for any modification that increases the fair value of share-based payments or that otherwise benefits employees. When a grant is canceled by the entity or counterparty, any remaining element of the grant's fair value is immediately recognized as an expense in the statement of income.

 

The fair value of the amount payable to employees in relation to the share appreciation rights, which are settled in cash, is recognized as an expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities during the period in which employees unconditionally acquire the right to payment. The liability is remeasured at each reporting date and at the settlement date, based on the fair value of the share appreciation rights. Any changes in the fair value of the corresponding liabilities are recognized in the statement of income as personnel expenses.

 

(p)          Treasury shares

 

Treasury shares represent shares that are bought back by the company and are available for specific and limited purposes. For accounting purposes, Raízen holds the necessary shares to meet future share-based payment plans to employees and volume is treated in the same way as treasury shares.

 

(q)          Income tax and social contribution

 

Income tax and social contribution income (expenses) for the year comprise current and deferred taxes. Income taxes are recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent they relate to items directly recognized in equity or comprehensive income, as applicable. In this case, the taxes are also recognized in equity or comprehensive income.

 

Current and deferred income tax and social contribution are determined based on the tax rate enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the countries where Raízen entities operate and generate taxable profit. Management regularly assesses the positions assumed by Raízen in the income tax calculations with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations give rise to different interpretations, and records provisions, when appropriate, based on estimated amounts payable to tax authorities.



Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

In Brazil, income tax is calculated on taxable profit at a rate of 15%, plus surtax of 10% on profit exceeding R$ 240 over 12 months, whereas social contribution tax is calculated at a rate of 9% on taxable profit, both recognized on an accrual basis. In other words, Raízen is subject to a theoretical combined tax rate equivalent to 34%.

 

Deferred income tax and social contribution related to income tax and social contribution tax losses and temporary differences are stated net in the statement of financial position when there is a legal right and the intention to offset them when calculating current taxes, related to the same legal entity and the same tax authority.

 

Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities in different entities or different countries are usually presented separately, and not on a net basis. Deferred taxes are calculated based on the rates established upon their realization and are reviewed annually.

 

Tax prepayments or current amounts subject to offsetting are stated under current or non-current assets, according to their estimated realization.

 

(r)           Equity and remuneration to shareholders

 

Equity is represented by common and preferred shares. Incremental expenses directly attributable to the issue of shares, when incurred, are presented as a deduction from equity, as additional capital contribution, net of tax effects.

 

Distribution of profits to the shareholders is made in the form of dividends and/or interest on equity based on the limits defined in the bylaws of Raízen and the laws in force. They are classified as cash flow from financing activities, when paid.

 

(s)           Business combinations

 

Raízen adopts the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed, and any equity instruments issued by Raízen. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, where applicable. Acquisition-related costs are recorded in the statement of income as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired, liabilities (including contingent) assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value on the acquisition date.

Raízen recognizes the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, to the proportional share of the noncontrolling interest in the fair value of the acquiree's net assets. Measurement of the noncontrolling interest is determined for each acquisition made.

 

The excess of the consideration transferred and of the fair value on the date of acquisition of any previous equity interest in the acquiree in relation to the fair value of Raízen’s interest in the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. When applicable, in acquisitions in which Raízen attributes fair value to noncontrolling interests, the determination of goodwill also includes the value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, and goodwill is determined considering the interest of Raízen and of noncontrolling interests. When the consideration transferred is less than the fair value of the net assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized directly in the statement of income for the year as a bargain purchase under Other operating revenue, net.

(t)           Environmental issues

 

Raízen minimizes the risks associated with environmental issues through operating procedures and controls and investments in pollution control systems and equipment. Raízen records a provision for loss on environmental expenses, under Other liabilities, to the extent that it is necessary to carry out environmental remediation of the damage caused.

 

(u)          Segment information

 

An operating segment is a component of Raízen that carries out business activities from which revenues may be obtained and expenses incurred, including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other Company components. All operating results of the operating segments are frequently reviewed by Raízen’s CEO and by the Board of Directors for decisions concerning funds to be allocated to the segment and performance evaluation, and for which individual financial information is available.

 

Prior to the corporate reorganization of Raízen completed on June 1st, 2021, Raízen S.A. and Raízen Energia S.A. where two separates of the legal entities. As a result of the corporate reorganization the results of RESA started to be consolidate under the same corporate governance structure of Raizen. Accordingly, our segment information has been presented on a retrospective basis to March 31, 2021. See more details in Note 24.

2.5.         New IFRS and IFRIC (IFRS’ Interpretations Committee) applicable to financial statements 

 

The following amendments have been issued by the IASB but are not yet effective for the year ended March 31, 2022. Although encouraged by the IASB:


Amendment to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: in May 2020, the IASB issued an amendment that does not allow an entity to deduct from the cost of property, plant and equipment the amounts received from the sale of items produced while the asset is being prepared for its intended use. Such revenues and related costs must be recognized in the statement of income for the year. The effective date of application of this amendment is January 1st, 2022 and, in the case of Raízen, April 1st, 2022.

Amendment to IAS 37 - Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets: in May 2020, the IASB issued this amendment to clarify that, for the purpose of assessing whether a contract is onerous, the cost of complying with the contract includes the incremental compliance costs of such contract and allocation of other costs directly related to compliance therewith. The effective date of application of this amendment is January 1st, 2022 and, in the case of Raízen, April 1st, 2022.

Amendment to IFRS 3 - Business Combinations: issued in May 2020, this amendment aims to replace the references from the previous version of the conceptual framework with the most recent one. The effective date of application of this amendment is January 1st, 2022 and, in the case of Raízen, April 1st, 2022.

Annual Improvements - 2018-2020 Cycle: in May 2020, the IASB issued the following amendments as part of the annual improvement process, applicable as of January 1st, 2022 and, in the case of Raízen, April 1st, 2022:


(i) IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments: clarifies which rates should be included in the 10% test for the write-off of financial liabilities.
(ii) IFRS 16 - Leases: amendment to example 13 in order to exclude the example of lessor payments related to improvements in the leased property.


Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current: In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1, to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify what is meant by a right to defer settlement, that a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period, that classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right, and also that only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification. Amendments are effective for periods beginning on or after January 1st, 2023, and should be applied retroactively, in the case of Raízen, as of April 1st, 2023.

Amendments to IAS 8 - Definition of accounting estimates: In February 2021, IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, in which it introduces the definition of accounting estimates. The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies and the correction of errors. They also explain how entities use measurement techniques and inputs to develop accounting estimates. The effective date of application of this amendment is January 1st, 2023 and, in the case of Raízen, April 1st, 2023.

Amendment to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Presentation of Financial Statements: In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1  and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgments, in which it provides guidance and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to accounting policy disclosures. The amendments aim to help entities provide accounting policy disclosures that are more useful by replacing the requirement for entities to disclose their ‘significant’ accounting policies with a requirement to disclose their ‘material’ accounting policies; and adding guidance on how entities apply the concept of materiality in making decisions about accounting policy disclosures. The effective date of application of this amendment is January 1st, 2023 and, in the case of Raízen, April 1st, 2023.

We do not expect material impacts to Raízen from the mentioned amendments. There are no other IFRS standards or IFRIC interpretations not yet effective that could have a significant impact on Raízen’s combined consolidated financial statements.

For long-overdue notes with no allowance for expected credit losses, Raízen has guarantees, such as mortgages and letters of credit.

 

The allowance for expected credit losses was calculated based on credit risk analysis, which includes, among other factors, the history of losses, the individual situation of clients, the situation of the economic group to which the clients belong, the security interest for debts and, where applicable, the assessment of legal advisors.

 

The allowance for expected credit losses is considered sufficient by management to cover any losses on receivables. Changes in this allowance are as follows:

8.              Biological assets

 

Raízen’s biological assets comprise unharvested cane cultivated in sugarcane crops, which will be used as a raw material source in the production of sugar, ethanol and bioenergy upon harvesting. The fair value measurement method is the cash flow discounted to present value. The valuation model considers the present value of expected cash flows to be generated, including projections of up to two years, considering the estimates of the effective date for cutting the unharvested cane.

Planted areas represent only sugarcane crops, not considering the land where the crops are located, which are recognized under “Property, plant and equipment”.

 

The following significant assumptions were used in determining the fair value:

 

 

2022

 

2021

 

 

 

 

Estimated harvest area (hectares)

650,598

 

463,793

Number of total recoverable sugar (“ATR”) per hectare

10.27

 

9.82

Projected average ATR price per kg (R$/kg)

1.28

 

0.77

 

As of March 31, 2022, cash flows were discounted at 7.68% (5.32% in 2021) which is the WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) of Raízen.

 

In the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, Raízen reviewed the assumptions used to calculate the biological asset, the main impact of which was the increase in the average ATR price, influenced by the price of ethanol, and by the price of VHP sugar, in line with what has been observed in recent months as well as new US dollar price projections.

The estimated fair value could increase (decrease) if:

 

The estimated ATR price was higher (lower);
The projected productivity (tons per hectare and quantity of ATR) was higher (lower); and
The discount rate was lower (higher).


The operational activities of sugarcane planting are exposed to variations resulting from climate changes, pests, diseases, and forest fires, among other natural forces.

 

Historically, climatic conditions can cause volatility in the sugar-energy sector and, consequently, in Raízen's operating results, as they influence crops by increasing or reducing harvests.

(i)             ICMS

 

It arises from interstate operations for the distribution of oil by-products, in which the tax burden of the receiving state is lower than that retained by the supplier, according to Agreement No. 110/07. The reimbursement takes place through formalization of a process with the States, whereby after the request is approved, the payment is made by the substitute taxpayer, in this case the refinery, by means of a credit in a bank checking account.


Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

To use ICMS credit balances, Raízen is internally reviewing certain activities, in particular the logistics of operations with changes in supply hubs. In addition, there are requests for special regimes from certain state tax authorities, requests for authorization to transfer balances between branches in the same state and analysis of credit sales to third parties.

 

The ICMS recoverable balance presented in these financial statements reflects the amount that Raízen expects to realize, less the provision for loss on credits, for which Management has no expectation to realize them.

 

(ii)           ICMS on the PIS and COFINS tax bases

 

On March 15, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil (“STF”) completed the judgment of Appeal No. 574.706 and, under general resonance, established the thesis that the ICMS does not make up the PIS and COFINS tax base, since this amount does not represent Raízen’s revenue/billing. In other words, taxpayers have the right to exclude the ICMS amount recorded in the invoice from the PIS and COFINS tax base.

 

In 2018, Raízen recognized credits referring to periods after March 2017, based on the decision handed down on that date by the STF. In addition, the amounts recognized, referring to prior periods, for the group companies that have been awarded favorable final decisions on the referred matter, that is, a res judicata decision, were calculated based on the accounting and tax systems, considering the ICMS amount recorded in invoices. The accuracy of amounts was tested by crosschecking the information with the relevant accessory obligations.

 

Since adoption of the PIS and COFINS noncumulative regime, Raízen has been pleading in court the right to exclude ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax base. In the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, Raízen concluded that the necessary legal certainty for recognizing the referred to tax credits had been achieved. Therefore, Raízen recognized consolidated credits amounting to R$ 37,880 and R$ 64,432, respectively, under Recoverable taxes, arising from certain res judicata decisions handed down on lawsuits for the entire period after 5 years of the date of distribution of the lawsuits in court and, in the case of decisions not yet final, credits after October 2, 2017, prospectively, according to the conclusion of the leading case, granting the appeal to taxpayers.

 

On May 13, 2021, the STF concluded the judgment on the modulation of the effects of the decision that excluded the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax base (Appeal 574.706) and confirmed that the ICMS to be considered is that recorded in the invoice, and not the ICMS amount paid. Accordingly, Raízen recognized consolidated credits in the amount of R$ 163,435, under Recoverable taxes, referring to the period from April 2011 to December 2014.

 

(iii)         IVA

 

This refers to the federal tax applicable in Argentina and Paraguay on commercial transactions with clients and suppliers, whose triggering event, determination and payment takes place on a monthly basis.

Capital increases in Logum and Uniduto

 

In the year ended March 31, 2021, capital increases in Logum and Uniduto were approved in the respective amounts of R$ 117,920 and R$ 12,880. The amounts subscribed by RESA totaled R$ 40,897, fully paid in through a checking account.

 

All shareholders contributed and paid up the shares, proportionally to the interest held, except for one shareholder, who failed to contribute and pay up the shares in Uniduto. As a consequence of these events, shareholders RESA and Copersucar entered into an Agreement for future capital contribution, thus enabling that Uniduto honor the commitments assumed with shareholders of Logum. 

 

Such future capital contributions have not yet been resolved by Uniduto’s shareholders.  Therefore, the percentage of equity interest held in these investees did not change.

 

Capital increases in port operation business

 

In the year ended March 31, 2021, capital increases of companies comprising the port exploration business were deliberated, approved and subscribed, amounting to R$ 27,497, through transfers of grants (intangible asset) and cash, in the amounts of R$ 18,294 and R$ 9,203, respectively.

 

There were no changes in the percentage of interest held in the capital of these investees, since all shareholders made capital contributions proportionally to their previously held interest.

(1) As of March 31, 2022, the goodwill generated by the acquisition of Raízen Argentina and B&R includes the balance of the foreign currency translation positive effect in the amount of R$ 61,202 and loss of R$ 63,090 (R$ 118,536 and R$ zero in 2021), respectively.


Impairment analysis for cash generating units containing goodwill

 

Raízen tests the recoverable amount of goodwill at least annually.

 

Management uses the value in use method to determine the recoverable amount, which is based on the projection of the discounted cash flows expected from the cash-generating units (CGU) determined by management based on the budgets that consider the assumptions related to the CGUs using information available in the market and prior performance.

 

Raízen’s discounted cash flows were prepared for a 5-year period and carried at perpetuity without considering the actual growth rate, based on past performance and expected market development. Cash flows arising from the continued use of related assets are adjusted for specific risks and use the post-tax discount rate, calculated at 6.91% per year (5.39% in 2021).

 


Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

Significant assumptions used by Raízen were prices based on the market expectation, estimated growth rates for the business sector and extrapolations of growth rates based on the Brazilian and Argentina Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The entire future cash flow was discounted at rates that reflect specific risks related to the relevant assets in each cash-generating unit.

 

The discounted cash flows of RESA and Biosev were prepared for a period of 25 years, in accordance with a reasonable time to recover the assets related to the activities of their economic sector. No real growth rate was considered in the year of the cash flow or in perpetuity, based on past performance and expectations for market development. The discount rate used was 6.91% per year (5.39% in 2021).

 

The main assumptions used for RESA and Biosev were expected price of sales of commodities over the long term, productivity in agricultural areas, performance of Total Recoverable Sugar (“TRS”), and operating and administrative costs. The entire cash flow was discounted at rates that reflect specific risks related to the relevant assets in each cash-generating unit.

 

As a result of the annual impairment tests, no significant losses were recognized in the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The determination of the recoverability of assets depends on certain key assumptions as described above, which are influenced by the market, technological and economic conditions prevailing when such test is carried out and, therefore, it is not possible to determine whether impairment losses will occur in the future and, in the event, they occur, if they will be material.

(i) Raízen has agreements related to payments with financial institutions (“Agreements”) through which certain suppliers may anticipate their receivables related to products and services provided to Raízen, directly with financial institutions. Under such Agreements, the supplier elects whether to anticipate the receivables and the financial institutions decide whether or not to acquire said credits, without interference from Raízen. The use of the Agreements does not imply any change in the notes issued by the suppliers, maintaining the conditions regarding the original amounts and payment terms, which is between 60 and 90 days, on average, falling within the Raízen’s recurring operational cycle.

(1) On September 24, 2021, the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil (“STF”), upon ruling Appeal No. 1.063.187 that has not yet become final and unappealable, recognized the unconstitutionality of the IRPJ and CSLL on the Selic-based adjustment (arrears interest and monetary restatement) levied on tax overpayments. Raízen and its subsidiaries are parties to ongoing individual lawsuits, which have not yet become final and unappealable court decision, claiming the definitive exclusion of this tax levy. Considering the legal grounds contained in the appeal to the STF, Raízen reassessed the likelihood of success, considering that it is probable that the tax treatment will be accepted. Accordingly, it recognized in the statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2022 income from IRPJ and CSLL, in accordance with the provisions of IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over income tax treatments.
(2)  This refers to the change in Argentine tax legislation, enacted in June 2021, which changed the income tax rate from 25% to 35%.

(f)            Realization of deferred tax assets:

 

In assessing the ability to recover deferred taxes, management takes into consideration projections of future taxable profit and changes in temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized only when it is probable that they will be used in the future. There is no expiration date for the use of the income tax and social contribution tax loss balances, however the use of the tax loss carryforward is limited to 30% of annual taxable profits.

 

At March 31, 2022, Raízen expects to realize deferred tax assets in certain entities, including income and social contribution tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences, as follows:

Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

(1)           ICMS

 

The amount recorded as a provision for ICMS credits is represented by: a) tax assessments received that, despite being defended, are assessed as probable loss by the Company’s legal advisors; (b) use of finance credits and charges in matters on which understanding of Raízen’s management and tax advisors differ from tax authorities’ interpretations; (c) questioning of the breach of accessory obligation (CAT Ordinance) in the period from January 2001 to December 2004, related to the methodology for calculating ICMS credits in the state of São Paulo, in the restated amount of R$ 123,185 (R$ 119,326 in 2021).

 

In the year ended March 31, 2022, payments were made in the consolidated amount of R$287,313, mainly related to ICMS debts, prior to the formation of Raízen due to the enrollment in the Minas Gerais State amnesty program. Therefore, the tax contingencies were paid and reimbursed by Shell to the Company, with a consequent reduction in the balances of related parties arising from contractual transactions with shareholders.


(2)           IPI

 

The amount recorded as a provision for IPI credits is represented by: (a) tax assessment notice received referring to imported goods and other notices; (b) offset of credits deriving from inputs used in exempt shipment; and (c) IPI Seletividade, a matter recently judged by the Federal Supreme Court of Brazil (“STF”), under General Resonance (RE No. 592145, matter 080) unfavorably to the taxpayer.

 

(3)           PIS and COFINS

 

The amount recorded as a provision for PIS and COFINS credits is represented by: (a) contribution from 1997 to 1999 referring to merger of company; and (b) IPI credits used to offset PIS and COFINS deriving from inputs used in exempt shipments.

 

(4)           IRPJ and CSLL

 

These refer to interlocutory decisions related to different offsets carried out by PER/DCOMP (E-Requests for Federal Tax Recovery, Refund or Offset) related to IPI credits used to offset IRPJ and CSLL. Said offset stopped being approved because a tax assessment notice was issued to stop recognition of credits based on the fact that, in the period from January 2008 to September 2010: (a) the Company did not record and pay IPI owed at the rate of 8% on certain transactions classified in TIPI (table of IPI levy); and (b) the Company did not reverse IPI credits referring to inputs used in the industrialization of certain products classified in TIPI, considering that shipment of such products is not taxed.

 

In the first item, the dispute occurs due to difference about classification of products as oil by-products and, in the second item, it occurs because authorities do not recognize the right to maintain IPI credits on shipment transactions that are exempt or not taxed.

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

(5)           CIDE

 

The Company provisioned CIDE on services rendered in oil and natural gas exploration and production activities carried out before the formation of Raízen, whose balance as of March 31, 2022 amounted to R$ 476,060 (R$ 392,098 in 2021). The amounts due were deposited in court, in the same amount, reason why there will be no financial disbursement by the Company. Accordingly, both balances are presented on a net basis in these financial statements.

 

(b)     Civil, labor, and environmental

 

Raízen is a party to several civil lawsuits related to: (i) property and pain and suffering damages; (ii) contractual disputes; (iii) public civil actions to refrain from burning sugarcane straw; (iv) executions of an environmental nature; (v) remediating environmental damage caused by fuel leakage; and (vi) contractual, real estate and credit recovery discussions, including discussions of contractual violations, possession of Group properties and recovery of amounts not paid by clients.

 

Raízen is also a party to several labor claims filed by former employees and employees of service providers who question, among others, the payment of overtime, night shift and risk exposure premiums, job reinstatement, refund of deductions made in payroll such as confederative association dues, union dues and others.

 

The main environmental claims are related to environmental remediation work to be carried out at filling stations, distribution bases, airports and client distribution centers, which comprise removal of contaminated material, treatment of the area, laboratory analysis and post-remediation monitoring.

 

Legal disputes considered as possible losses and, thus, no provision for legal disputes has been recognized in the financial statements

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

(1)                IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS and IOF

 

Main legal disputes refer to: (a) tax assessment notices on credit offsetting arising from the Semi-Annual PIS regime and offsets of federal taxes not approved by the Brazilian IRS (RFB), for which Raízen has been challenging these collections at the proper levels; (b) tax assessment notices for the collection of IRPJ and CSLL for the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, derived from the exclusion of income from amortization of goodwill on investments accounted for under the equity method. This goodwill was contributed by Cosan Lubrificantes e Especialidades S.A., formerly named Cosan Combustíveis e Lubrificantes S.A., to the Company. Raízen presented an objection requesting full cancellation of the tax assessment notice issued; (c) disallowances of PIS and COFINS credits, in the non-cumulative system, provided for in Law No. 10637/2002 and Law No. 10833/2003. These disallowances stem, in summary, from the restrictive interpretation of the RFB regarding the concept of "inputs", as well as different interpretations of the said laws. These challenges are still at the administrative level; (d) requests for reimbursement of PIS and COFINS in connection with offsetting proceedings. After presentation of the Protest Letter in March 2013, the DRJ (Judgment Office) determined the write-off of ongoing proceedings, so that PIS and COFINS credit rights referring to certain quarters from 2008 to 2009 are recalculated; (e) in the year ended March 31, 2020, the Brazilian IRS considered as “non-declared” the requests for reimbursement and/or offsetting of non-cumulative PIS and COFINS credits with different origins (Law No. 10637/02 and Law No. 10833/03) for the periods from 2014 to 2016, based on the argument that the credits are linked to a lawsuit that challenges the exclusion of ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax base. Because the understanding of the tax authorities is mistaken, Raízen continues with the administrative discussion; (f) tax assessment notices related to the unconstitutionality of expansion of PIS and COFINS tax base brought by Law No. 9718/98, in which STF considered as unconstitutional; (g) tax assessment notices filed by the Brazilian IRS for the collection of IRPJ and CSLL from prior years relating to offsets of tax losses, deductibility of amortization expenses of certain goodwill and taxation of differences of revaluations of assets comprising property, plant and equipment; (h) lawsuit in 2018, related to the disallowance of goodwill based on expected future profitability, deducted from the IRPJ and CSLL tax base of subsidiary RESA for calendar years 2013 to 2016, in the amount of R$ 470,800. The defense was presented considering that the amortization of goodwill occurred under the terms of the applicable legislation (article 386 of RIR/99 and articles 7 and 8 of Law No. 9532/97); and, (i) PIS and COFINS difference determined because of CIDE offset. For tax authorities, such deduction could only have been made in the event of payment.

(2)                ICMS

 

Refers substantially to: (i) portion related to fine of the tax assessment notice served due to the alleged nonpayment of ICMS and noncompliance with accessory obligation, in an operation involving agricultural partnership and toll manufacturing, from May 2005 to March 2006 and May 2006 to March 2007; (ii) ICMS levied on shipping of crystallized sugar for export, which, according to the tax agent, is classified as semi-finished good and, under ICMS regulation, is subject to taxation; (iii) ICMS levied on alleged divergences in the sugar and ethanol inventories, arising from the comparison between the magnetic tax files and the Inventory Registration Books; (iv) tax assessment notices related to collection of the ICMS tax differential resulting from sales of ethanol intended to companies located in other states of the Country, which, based on a superseding rule, had their state registrations revoked; (v) ICMS requirement resulting from disallowance of diesel oil credits used in the agro-industrial production process, with a defense filed for being essential to the Company’s activities, based on article 155, paragraph 2, item I of the Federal Constitution and Supplementary Law No. 87/96; (vi) ICMS credits not reversed; (vii) lack of full reversal of ICMS-ST credits for ICMS tax substitution (ICMS-ST); (viii) noncompliance with accessory obligations; (ix) ICMS-ST requirement in interstate sales to industrial clients; (x) undue use of credits from Controls for ICMS Tax Credits on Permanent Assets (“CIAP”); (xi) inventory difference; (xii) alleged undue use of credits related to ICMS-ST on diesel in the capacity of final consumer; (xiii) matching credit allegedly unduly taken; and, (xiv) tax credits related to freight (transport services) allegedly unduly used since the subsequent operation is exempt or not taxed.

(3)                IPI

 

RFB Regulatory Instruction No. 67/98 validated the procedure adopted by industrial facilities that shipped products without recording and paying IPI, related to operations with demerara, upper quality granulated sugar, special granulated sugar, extra special granulated sugar, and refined granulated sugar, carried out from July 6, 1995 to November 16, 1997, and with refined amorphous sugar carried out from January 14, 1992 to November 16, 1997. This standard was carried into effect in the respective proceedings brought by the Brazilian IRS, whose likelihood of loss is classified as possible, according to the assessment of Raízen’s legal advisors.

 

(4)                INSS

 

Possible legal disputes related to INSS involve mainly: (i) revision of the legal disputes linked to MPS/SRP Revenue Procedure No. 03/2005, from 2005 to 2011, which are now assessed as remote loss due to the probable recognition of laches term. MPS/SRP Revenue Procedure 03/2005 restricted the constitutional immunity of social security taxes on export revenue, and exports are now taxed through commercial exporting companies or trading companies; (ii) requirement of the contribution for purposes of the National Rural Learning Service (SENAR) on direct and indirect export operations, where the Brazilian IRS (“RFB”) understands that there is no right to constitutional immunity; and, (iii) requirement of the social security tax on resale of goods in the domestic market and to third parties that are not included in the social security tax base calculation, which only applies to gross revenue resulting from the production effectively occurring in the facilities and not from purchased goods.

(5)                MP 470 - Installment payment of debts

 

The Brazilian IRS partially rejected requests for payment of federal tax debts in installments made by subsidiary RESA, with the argument that offered tax loss is not sufficient to settle respective debts. Subsidiary RESA and its legal advisors consider that the losses indicated existed and were available for such use.

(6)                Offsets with IPI credit – IN 67/98

 

RFB Regulatory Instruction No. 67/98 brought with it the possibility of a refund of IPI collected in the period from January 14, 1992, to November 16, 1997, on amorphous refined sugar. Accordingly, subsidiary RESA, for the periods in which payment was made, pleaded to offset amounts against other taxes due. However, the Brazilian IRS dismissed requests for refund as well as an offset. Thus, subsidiary RESA administratively appealed against the dismissal.

 

After notification of payment of debts object of an offset in view of the changes introduced by IN SRF No. 210/02, subsidiary RESA filed a writ of mandamus with an injunction request to suspend the enforceability of offset taxes, with the aim of impeding the Public Administration from executing these debts. The injunction was granted by the competent court.

Contingent assets

 

Raízen, through its subsidiary Blueway, is involved in tax claims for damages related to the right to exclude the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS tax base, the realization of which is not virtually certain yet and, therefore, represent contingent assets not recognized in this financial statements. Accordingly, it is not yet possible to estimate the possible future financial effects of these claims.

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

On March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, we had the combined consolidated financial statements, which the accounts comprising equity (capital, capital reserve, profit reserve, equity valuation adjustments, among other) are not applicable. Therefore, the statements of changes in equity of these combined consolidated financial statements include only two items named equity attributable to controlling interests and noncontrolling interests.

The main combined information of this note is derived from the individual and consolidated financial statements of Raízen and RESA. Therefore, certain information in these combined consolidated financial statements of Raízen does not represent the individual and consolidated annual financial statements of these entities.

 

Following the corporate reorganization, Raízen began consolidating the results of Raízen Energia S.A. As a result, the financial information of Raízen as of  March 31, 2022 are presented on consolidated basis. As of March 31, 2022, the consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s equity position.

 

(a)           Capital and capital reserve

As a result of this acquisition, Bio Barra now holds 100% of the capital of RWXE.

(ii)               Legal reserve

 

On March 31, 2022 and 2021, as established in Brazilian Corporation Law, Raízen did not allocate 5% of net income to the Legal reserve, due to the fact that the total balance of the legal and capital reserves has exceeded 30% of the capital amount.

 

(iii)             Profit retention reserve

 

This refers to the remaining balance of the Company’s net income for the year, after allocations for set-up of the legal reserve and provision for mandatory minimum dividends, which was allocated to Profit retention reserve until its final allocation is approved at the Annual General Meeting. Raízen’s Articles of Incorporation provide that up to 80% of the profit for the year can be allocated to this reserve, for operations and new investments and projects, not exceeding 80% of the capital amount.

 

(e)           Treasury shares

 

On January 6, 2022, B3 approved Raízen’s request to reduce the minimum percentage of outstanding shares, which on that date amounted to 12% of Raízen’s shares (“free float”).

 

Upon this approval, on the same date, Raízen's Board of Directors approved a share buyback program for up to 40,000,000 preferred shares, representing 0.39% of the total shares and 3.21% of the total shares in circulation of Raízen, whose term for carrying out the operation is 18 months, ending on July 7, 2023.

 

The purpose of this program is to buy back shares to meet obligations that may arise from Raízen’s share compensation plans and maximize the generation of value for shareholders through efficient capital management.  The repurchased shares may be, at Management’s discretion, later delivered to the beneficiaries of share-based compensation programs, cancelled, sold or held in treasury.

In addition, on January 18, 2022, B3 authorized the reduction of the minimum percentage of the outstanding shares, from 12% to a limit of up to 10% of free float of Raízen’s shares, which may be repurchased by Raízen and by controlling shareholders.

 

In return for B3’s authorization, for a momentary reduction of the minimum percentage of outstanding shares, Raízen maintains the commitment to reach, until December 31, 2022, a minimum percentage of 15% of the outstanding shares as well as to continue with the contracted market maker service until such percentage is reached.

(f)            Earnings per share

 

For the purpose of calculating basic and dilutive earnings per share for all periods presented, the number of ordinary shares outstanding of Raízen S.A., was reflected retroactively, considering the effects of corporate reorganization, as mentioned in Note 1 and note 21.a..

Basic

 

Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the combined consolidated net income attributable to Raízen’s shareholders by the weighted average number of all classes of shares outstanding during the year, excluding treasury shares.

During the year ended March 31, 2021, Raízen did not have outstanding common shares that may cause dilution or debt convertible into common shares. Thus, basic and diluted earnings per share were equivalent.

 

22.          Share-based payment

 

Raízen S.A. offers restricted share plans linked to: (i) non-interruption of the relationship between the executive and Raízen (vesting period); and (ii) achievement of performance conditions.

The fair value of grants related to the period the participant remains in the Company during the vesting period (restricted share unit - RSU) was determined on the grant date based on the market value of Raízen's shares in B3.

For the portion of the plan linked to the performance conditions (performance share unit – PSU), the fair value was measured based on the Monte Carlo method (“MMC”) considering market conditions.

The fair value of the PSU shares plans is measured based on the MMC method. The fair value was determined by the TSR (Total Shareholder Return) and the share values of other companies, which are considered market performance conditions. The restricted shares plan considers the following assumptions:

 

(i) The expectation of volatility, peer alternatives were sought, due to Raízen's low closing history. Raízen used Cosan's volatility history, based on the proximity between the sectors in which it operates and the fact that the shareholder Cosan holds a relevant interest in Raízen's capital, which indicates that Raízen's business implicitly represents part of Cosan's volatility, using the standard deviation model of daily returns for such calculation;
(ii) Since the grant agreement adjusts the participant’s gain in relation to the distribution of dividends during the vesting period, no adjustments were required in the amount of the assets granted resulting from the distribution of dividends;
(iii) The weighted average risk-free interest rate used was the curve of pre-DI interest rate in Reais (DI estimate) observed in the open market;
(iv) The fee for exit before vesting, which affects the provision for plan costs, was estimated by the Company at 10.81%; and,
(v) There are no clauses related to share lockup.

Segment information reporting is stated consistently with internal reports provided by key operational decision makers.  The key operational decision makers, responsible for the strategic decision making, allocation of funds and for the assessment of performance of operating segments are the Company’s Chief Executive Officers and the Board of Directors. The Company’s operating segments are: Raízen’s operating segments are:

 

(i) Marketing and services: refer to the trading and sale activities of fossil and renewable fuels, through a franchised network of service stations under the Shell brand in all the national territory and Latin America, operating in Argentina and, as of November 1, 2021, in Paraguay (Note 31.1.ii).
(ii) Sugar: this refers to sugar production, sale, origination and trading activities.
(iii) Renewables: this refers to: (a) ethanol production, sale, origination and trading activities; (b) production and sale of bioenergy; (c) resale and trading of electric power; and (d) production and sale of other renewable products (solar energy and biogas).  These business activities were aggregated into a single segment, as their products and services come from renewable sources, use similar technologies and present synergies in their production and distribution process.   The combination of these activities results in the portfolio of clean energy and retirement of carbon credits offered by Raízen.  The performance of these business activities is assessed on an integrated basis by the decision makers through operating results.

 

Operating results by segment

 

The performance of the segments is evaluated based on the operating results and this information is prepared based on items directly attributable to the segment, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. 

 

As mentioned in note 2.3 (u), in the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, operating results by segment is shown below:

28.Financial instruments

 

(a)           Overview

 

Raízen is exposed to the following risks arising from its operations, which are equalized and managed through certain financial instruments:

 

  • Interest rate risk
  • Price risk             
  • Exchange rate risk
  • Credit risk
  • Liquidity risk

 

This note presents information on Raízen’s exposure to each of the mentioned risks, Raízen’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and Raízen’s capital management.

 

(b)          Risk management structure

 

Raízen has specific treasury and trading policies that define how risk management should be carried out, never operating with derivatives which are beyond the notional total of underlying asset or liability. To monitor activities and ensure compliance with policies, Raízen has the following main committees:  (i) Risk Committee that meets weekly to analyze the behavior of the commodities (sugar, ethanol and oil by-products) and foreign exchange markets and deliberate on hedging positions and pricing strategy for exports or imports of products, so as to reduce the adverse effects of changes in prices and exchange rates; and (ii) Ethanol and by-products Committee that meets monthly to assess the risks associated with the sale of ethanol and by-products and to adapt to the limits defined in the risk policies.

 

Raízen and its subsidiaries are exposed to the following significant market risks: (i) ethanol, sugar, electric power, oil and its by-products price volatility; (ii) exchange rate volatility; and (iii) interest rate volatility. The financial instruments for hedging purposes are taken out by analyzing the risk exposure to which management seeks coverage.

 

On March 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair values related to transactions involving derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes were measured through observable factors, such as prices quoted in active markets or discounted cash flows based on market curves and are presented below:

(c)           Price risk

 

This arises from the possibility of fluctuating market prices for products traded, mainly VHP sugar, refined and white sugar, diesel (heating oil), gasoline, ethanol, electric power and crude oil. These price oscillations may lead to material changes in sales revenues and costs. To mitigate this risk, Raízen constantly monitors the market to anticipate price changes.

Fair value hedge

 

Raízen designates at fair value the inventory and highly probable purchases of oil by-products with pegged derivatives. Risk management is primarily intended for recognizing inventory at a floating price, as Raízen’s sales revenue will be upon sale of products to its clients. Hedge accounting aims to minimize any type of mismatching in the statement of income for the year, causing both the derivatives and the inventory to be recorded at fair value, with the change being recognized under Cost of products sold and services provided, whose negative impact in the year ended March 31, 2022 was R$ 55,876 (positive impact of R$ 244,942 in 2021 and negative impact of R$ 234,927 in 2020). As of March 31, 2022, in the statement of financial position, the fair value measurement balance of inventories is decreased by R$8,097 (increased by R$47,779 in 2021).

 

(e)           Interest rate risk

 

Raízen monitors fluctuations in variable interest rates related to certain debts, especially those linked to Libor and, when necessary, uses derivative financial instruments to minimize these risks. The positions of derivative financial instruments used to hedge against the interest rate risk are as follows:

(f)            Credit risk

 

A substantial part of Raízen’s sales is made to a select group of highly qualified counterparties.

 

Credit risk is managed by specific rules for client acceptance, credit analysis and establishment of exposure limits per client, including, when applicable, requirement of letter of credit from first-tier banks and capturing security interest on loans granted. Management considers that the credit risk is substantially covered by the allowance for expected credit losses.

 

Individual risk limits are established based on internal or external ratings, according to the limits determined by Raízen management. The use of credit limits is regularly monitored. No credit limit was exceeded in the year, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by the counterparties at an amount higher than that already provisioned.

 

Raízen operates commodity derivatives in the New York – NYBOT and NYMEX, Chicago - CBOT and CME and London - LIFFE commodity futures and options markets, as well as in the over-the-counter (OTC) market with selected counterparties. Also, Raízen operates commodity exchange rate derivatives and over-the-counter contracts registered with B3, mainly with the main local and international banks considered Investment Grade by international rating agencies.

 

Guarantee margins (Restricted Cash, Note 5.b) - Derivative transactions on commodity exchanges (ICE US, NYMEX, LIFFE and B3) require guarantee margins. The total consolidated margin deposited as of March 31, 2022, amounts to R$ 2,279,565 (R$ 1,065,183 in 2021), of which R$ 100,821 (R$ 99,662 in 2021) in restricted short-term investments and R$ 2,178,744 (R$ 965,482 as of March 31, 2021) in margin on derivative transactions.

 

Raízen’s derivative transactions in over the counter (“OTC”) do not require a guarantee margin.

 

Credit risk on cash and cash equivalents is mitigated through the conservative distribution of investment funds and CDBs that make up the item. The distribution follows strict criteria for allocation and exposure to counterparties, which are the main local and international banks considered, in their majority, as Investment Grade by the international rating agencies.

 

(g)           Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is that in which Raízen may encounter difficulties in honoring the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled with cash payments or with another financial asset. Raízen’s liquidity management approach is to ensure, as much as possible, that there will always be sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations upon maturity, under normal or stress conditions, without experiencing unacceptable losses or damaging its reputation.

(h)          Fair value

 

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is the amount for which a financial instrument may be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than a forced sale or settlement. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, suppliers, related parties and other short-term obligations approximates the respective carrying amount. The fair value of long-term assets and liabilities does not differ significantly from their carrying amount.

 

The fair value of most loans and financing is close to the carrying amount, since they are substantially subject to variable interest rates (Note 17).

 

Derivatives measured by valuation techniques with observable market data refer mostly to swaps and forward contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forwards and swap pricing models, using present value calculation. The models include various inputs, including in connection with the creditworthiness of the counterparties, spot and forward foreign exchange rates, interest rate curves and forward rate curves of the hedged commodity.

 

The main combined consolidated financial instruments are classified into the following categories:

Fair value hierarchy

 

Raízen uses the following hierarchy to determine and disclose the fair value of financial instruments by the valuation techniques, to wit:

 

  •  Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

  •  Level 2 - other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly; and

 

  •  Level 3: techniques using inputs that have a significant effect on the fair value recorded that are not based on observable market data.

During the years ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no transfers between these levels to determine the fair value of financial instruments.


(i)            Sensitivity analysis

 

Raízen adopted three scenarios for its sensitivity analysis, one probable and two (possible and remote) that may have adverse effects on the fair value of its financial instruments.  The probable scenario was defined based on the commodities futures market curves for sugar, ethanol, oil (heating oil), US dollar and Euro on March 31, 2022, corresponding to the balance of the derivatives’ fair value on that date. Possible and remote adverse scenarios were defined considering adverse impacts of 25% and 50% on sugar price and US dollar curves, which were calculated based on the probable scenario.

29.Retirement supplementation plan and other employee benefits

 

(a)          Pension fund

 

Defined contribution

 

Raízen sponsors the Retirement Plan Raiz, administered by RaizprevEntidade de Previdência Privada, a closed nonprofit supplementary pension plan entity.

 

The Entity has administrative, equity and financial autonomy, and its objective is to administer and provide private pension plans, as defined in the Benefit Plan Regulations.

 

Raízen has legal and contractual obligations that could give rise to the need to make additional extraordinary contributions in case of shortfall. In the year ended March 31, 2022, the contribution recognized as an expense totaled R$ 21,314 (R$ 21,439 in 2021 and R$ 21,405 in 2020).

 

Subsidiary Biosev offers its employees a defined contribution Private Pension Plan. The pension plan is optionally accessible to all employees and managing officers.

 

The subsidiary Biosev’s expense with the private pension plan totaled R$742 in the period from August 10, 2021 to March 31, 2022. Due to the plan’s characteristics and design, Biosev does not have any future obligation arising from post-employment or actuarial benefits.

 

Pension and health plan of Raízen Argentina

 

Raízen Argentina granted pension plans to non-union employees with defined and non-financed benefit. These plans are effective but closed to new participants since the end of 2014. The healthcare coverage of retired employees is an inherited and frozen benefit, whose cost is equally apportioned between the Company and the former employees.

 

(b)Profit sharing

 

Raízen recognizes a liability and an expense for profit sharing based on a methodology that considers previously defined goals for employees. Raízen recognizes a provision when it is contractually bound or when there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

31.Business combinations

 

(1)Transactions carried out in the year ended March 31, 2022

 

(i) Biosev

 

On August 10, 2021, after completion of the conditions precedent, the acquisition of all shares issued by Biosev by Raízen was carried out, and Raízen paid in cash the amount provided for in the acquisition agreement entered into on February 8, 2021, of R$ 4,581,899, which provided post-closing adjustments set out in the acquisition contract. The agreement provided for certain possible post-closing price adjustments, according to usual mechanisms in transactions of this nature, which are currently under discussion between Raízen and the sellers.

 

Also as part of said transaction, Hédera exercised the subscription warrant, with a contribution to Raizen of all Biosev shares held by it in the amount of R$ 2,423,944, issued at the time of Raízen’s general meeting held on June 1, 2021, becoming the holder of 330,602,900 preferred shares issued by Raízen, representing 3.2% of its capital, which was adjusted to market value for the amount of R$ 76,663, totaling R$ 2,347,281, equivalent to the unit value of R$ 7.10 per share on the acquisition date.

 

Biosev's main activities are the production, processing and sale of rural and agricultural products, mainly sugarcane and its derivatives, generation and sale of energy and derivatives from energy cogeneration.

 

This business combination is in line with Raízen’s strategy of leading the transition of the energy matrix with its own technology, by expanding the milling capacity and increasing the share of renewable products in its portfolio.

 

Raízen identified the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the classification of such assets, based on the economic, political and operating conditions of Biosev, existing on the date of acquisition.

The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date of Biosev is presented below. These effects are preliminary since at the date of this disclosure the purchase price allocation procedures are still in progress.

 

The difference between the amount paid and the net assets at fair value resulted in the recognition of a preliminary goodwill due to expected future profitability. The allocation of goodwill will be completed after completion of the purchase price allocation procedures and final issuance of the valuation report to be issued by an independent specialized company.

Assets acquired

 

Valuation technique

Property, plant and equipment (*)

 

Market comparison technique and cost technique: the valuation model considers the market prices quoted for similar items, when available, and the depreciated replacement cost, when applicable. The depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments of physical deterioration, as well as the functional and economic obsolescence. In the preliminary allocation, the fair value of property, plant and equipment items on the acquisition date amounted to R$ 3,022,727, which represented surplus value of R$ 154,499 to be depreciated based on the assets’ useful lives of approximately 4 years.

 

(*) In the final allocation, on the referred to surplus values, deferred tax liabilities were recorded in the amount of R$ 52,530.

 

(i)In addition to the surplus value of property, plant and equipment, certain assets and liabilities identified on the acquisition date, presented above, include the effects of convergence of Raízen’s accounting practices and corrections of errors in the opening statement of financial position identified within the measurement period;

 

(ii)Refers to the effects of deferred tax assets on the adjustments related to the convergence of the accounting practices and recording of present obligations, in the amount of R$ 521,034, as well as the recognition of deferred income tax and social contribution credits on tax losses of the acquiree not recorded in prior periods, amounting to R$ 1,131,029. Raízen, based on the expected taxable profits of the acquiree, recognized such tax credits on the acquisition date, as an identifiable asset in the business combination;

 

(iii)On the acquisition date, Raízen identified and recorded present obligations resulting from past events to the acquisition date, which were not recognized in the acquiree’s opening statement of financial position, mainly related to: (a) tax, civil and labor claims that previously referred to contingent liabilities or were assessed as probable loss and not recognized until the closing date of the transaction, in the fair value of R$ 65,953; and (b) royalties and other accounts payable in the fair value of R$ 28,008 referring to periods prior to the closing date of the transaction and not provisioned in the opening statement of financial position of the acquiree; and,

 

(iv)Biosev’s trade accounts receivable balance, on the acquisition date, is composed of gross contractual amounts due of R$ 355,968, of which R$ 942 are estimated to be non-recoverable on the acquisition date. Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were analyzed and the respective accounting balances reflect the respective fair values.

 

Biosev’ net operating revenue and net income for the year ended March 31, 2022, considered from the acquisition date, amounted to R$ 7,151,039 and R$ 952,699, respectively. The disclosure of results for the year ended March 31, 2022, as if the acquisition date were the beginning of the current fiscal year, is impracticable, given the limitation of segregation of the business acquired before the mentioned carve-out process that resulted in the determination of Biosev’s net assets.

 

(ii)B&R

On November 1, 2021, Raízen completed the acquisition of 50% of B&R, a company headquartered in Paraguay, for the net present value of R$ 599,097, equivalent to US$ 105,922 thousand, of which R$ 180,656 (US$ 31,941 thousand) were paid on the closing date of the transaction and R$ 418,441 (US$ 73,981 thousand) will be paid in 5 (five) annual installments, with final maturity in 2026, as provided for in the acquisition agreement entered into on August 10, 2021.


Raízen S.A.

 

Notes from management to the combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022

In thousands of Reais - R$, unless otherwise indicated

 

Pursuant to the shareholders' agreement, signed on the acquisition date, Raízen will have the right to appoint the executive board and the majority of the members of the company’s board of directors, and will also be entitled to a preferential dividend, depending on the financial performance of the business. For these reasons, from the acquisition date Raízen controls the acquiree and consolidates the financial statements of B&R.

Also on this date, Raízen signed a contract regulating the right to use the Shell brand for B&R and a Shareholders’ Agreement that regulates the relationship of the parties as shareholders of B&R.

B&R is the leader in the fuel distribution market in Paraguay, with a network of 340 fuel resale stations. With the acquisition and sublicensing of the right to use the Shell brand to B&R, these stations will progressively operate under the Shell’s brand.

This business combination is in line with Raízen’s strategy of complementing the operations platform of the Marketing and Services segment in South America.

The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date of B&R is presented below. These effects are preliminary, since on the date of this disclosure, the procedures for the allocation of the purchase price are still in progress, substantially related to the inspection of the fixed assets acquired, among other analyses.

The difference between the consideration paid and the net assets at fair value resulted in the recognition of a preliminary goodwill due to expected future profitability. The allocation of goodwill will be completed after completion of the purchase price allocation procedures.

The valuation techniques used to measure the preliminary fair value of the significant net assets acquired were as follows:

 

Assets acquired

 

Valuation technique

Property, plant and equipment (**)

 

Market comparison technique: the valuation model considers the market prices quoted for similar items, when available. In the preliminary allocation, the fair value of the land on the acquisition date totaled R$ 8,308, which represented a surplus value of R$ 6,703.

 

 

 

Assets from contracts with clients (*) / (**)

 

Exclusivity rights/Primas: Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”) technique. This model estimates fair value based on discounting the business unit's future cash flow discounts. Cash flows considered revenues from the activities of Primas and their corresponding expenses in the period of 7 years. In the preliminary allocation, the fair value of Primas totaled R$ 285,291, resulting in a surplus value of R$ 225,439, to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the referred term.

 

 

 

Intangible assets (*)/(**)

 

B&R trademark: Royalty Relief method. For the trademark valuation, the income approach

was used by the aforementioned method, due to the possibility of attributing the cash flow generated directly to the identified asset, using as assumptions the average percentages of royalties paid by company of the same sector of 0.5%, deducted by an income tax rate of 23.5%. In the preliminary allocation, the fair value of the brand was R$ 60,746, fully recognized as surplus value to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a period of 6 years.

 

 

 

Suppliers (*)/(**)

 

Diesel supply agreements: Income approach – With or Without method. Valuation of onerous diesel supply agreements, with prices higher than those practiced by the market. The useful life considered in the valuation is one year, considering the period estimated by Management for regularization. In the preliminary allocation, the fair value of this liability totaled R$ 65,764, fully recognized as a negative surplus value.

 

(*)         Assets and liabilities identified by the appraisers when applying the acquisition method. 

(**)In the preliminary allocation, on the mentioned surplus value and negative surplus value, deferred tax liabilities were recorded in the amount of R$ 77,222.

 

(i)B&R’s trade accounts receivable balance, on the acquisition date, is composed of gross contractual amounts due of R$ 173,368, of which R$ 9,804 are estimated to be non-recoverable on the acquisition date. Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were analyzed and the respective accounting balances reflect the respective fair values.

 

The final purchase price allocation of B&R depends on assessments and other studies not yet completed and on the final issue of the appraisal report to be issued by an independent specialized company.

 

The expected goodwill preliminarily estimated (after completion of the final purchase price allocation) is attributable to supply synergies and the profitability of the acquired business. Goodwill recognized is not expected to be deductible for income tax.

 

Additionally, the Company recognized the interest of non-controlling shareholders through the proportional interest (50.0%) in the net assets acquired, including the preliminary allocation of goodwill. The fair value attributed to non-controlling shareholders is R$ 221,210.

 

B&R’s net operating revenue and net income for the year ended March 31, 2022, considered since the acquisition date, were R$ 966,385 and R$ 48,567, respectively. Had the consolidation of subsidiary B&R taken place since April 1st, 2021, Raízen’s combined consolidated statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2022 would present a combined consolidated net revenue of R$ 195,973,533 and combined consolidated net income of R$ 3,238,807.

(iii)Acquisition and formation of the Gera Group

 

On January 5, 2022, Raízen through its indirect subsidiary Biobarra Energia Ltda. concluded the acquisition and formation of the Gera Group. The transaction amount was R$ 257,695, of which R$ 190,143 was paid on the transaction closing date, R$ 36,428 paid during the year after acquisition and R$ 31,124 will be settled according to the conditions specified in the contract. The agreement provided for certain possible post-closing price adjustments, according to usual mechanisms in transactions of this nature, which are currently open for future discussion between Raízen and the sellers.

 

This acquisition supplements Raízen’s product and service platform in the renewables segment, reinforcing its leading position in the process for transition and decarbonization of the global energy matrix, by increasing the offer of cleaner, renewable and sustainable energy.

 

Raízen aims to expand its portfolio through this investment, with a share in the local distributed generation market, and accelerate the growth of the renewable energy segment, aggregating new solutions, like Hydroelectric Power Generation Stations and biogas from urban waste.

 

The preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date is presented below. These effects are preliminary, since on the date of this disclosure, the procedures for the allocation of the purchase price are still in progress, substantially related to the inspection of the fixed assets acquired, among other analyses.

 

The difference between the amount paid and the net assets at fair value resulted in the recognition of a preliminary goodwill due to expected future profitability. The allocation of goodwill will be completed after completion of the purchase price allocation procedures.

The indirect subsidiary Gera Next Participações S.A., together with the other investments acquired, reported net operating revenue and consolidated net income, from the acquisition date to March 31, 2022, of R$ 2,794 and R$ 1,367, respectively. Had the consolidation of the indirect subsidiary taken place since April 1, 2021, we would not have a material change in the combined consolidated net operating revenue and net income for the year ended March 31, 2022, since they do not present material revenues and income.

Valuation technique

Property, plant and equipment

 

Market comparison technique and cost technique: the valuation model considers the market prices quoted for similar items, when available, and the depreciated replacement cost, when applicable. The depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments of physical deterioration, as well as the functional and economic obsolescence. The fair value of property, plant and equipment items on the acquisition date totaled approximately R$ 314 million, which represented an adjustment of approximately R$ 29 million.

 

Other assets acquired and liabilities assumed were analyzed and the respective accounting balances reflect the respective fair values.

(ii)Raízen Biomassa S.A. (“Raízen Biomassa”)

On October 1, 2019, RESA and Cosan signed an agreement for the purchase and sale of shares and other covenants under suspensive conditions (“Agreement”) aiming at the acquisition, by RESA, of 81.5% of the shares held by Cosan in Raízen Biomassa S.A., formerly Cosan Biomassa S.A., for the price of R$ 1.00 (one Real), assuming debts. The debts are guaranteed by Cosan that were transferred to Raízen after the completion of the acquisition.

 

The Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Shares of Biomassa was signed on October 1,2019 and the transaction was concluded on December 2, 2019, after the full implementation of the suspensive conditions. The fair value was considered based on the balances of Raízen Biomassa on this date.

 

Raízen Biomassa operates in the production and sale of bagasse pellets and sugarcane straw. Pellet sales represented R$ 9.2 million in the year ended December 31, 2018. Although it is still an embryonic market, RESA is capable of generating outputs.

 

Through this investment, RESA aims to capture synergies and insert the company into the business of producing and selling biomass pellets and sugarcane straw, consolidating Raízen's position as an integrated player in the renewables segment.

 

The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the acquisition date of Raízen Biomassa is presented below. The difference between the amount paid and the net assets at fair value resulted in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain, recognized in the statement of income for the year ended March 31, 2020, under Other operating revenue, net.

Valuation technique

Property, plant and equipment (**)

 

Market comparison technique and cost technique: the valuation model considers the market prices quoted for similar items, when available, and the depreciated replacement cost, when applicable. The depreciated replacement cost reflects adjustments of physical deterioration, as well as the functional and economic obsolescence. In the final allocation, the fair value of property, plant and equipment items on the acquisition date amounted to R$ 3,616,125, which represented surplus value of R$ 366,461 to be depreciated based on the assets’ useful lives of approximately 13 years.

 

 

 

Intangible assets (a) / (b)

 

Contractual relationships with clients: Multi-period excess earning method (“MPEEM”) technique, this model estimates fair value based on  business unit's future cash flow discounts. Cash flows considered revenues from projected clients’ portfolio and their related costs and expenses in the 180-month period. In the final allocation, the fair value of contractual relationships totaled R$ 232,558, fully recognized as surplus value to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the referred to period.

 

Latam-pass contract: Multi-period excess earning method (“MPEEM”) technique, this model estimates fair value based on business unit's future cash flows discounts. Cash flows considered revenues associated to said contract and its related costs and expenses over the contract term of 87 months. In the final allocation, the fair value of this contract totaled R$ 36,010, fully recognized as surplus value to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the referred period..

 

(*)      Intangible assets identified by appraisers in applying the acquisition method. 

(**)    In the final allocation occurred in the year ended March 31, 2020, on the referred surplus values, deferred tax liabilities were recorded in the amount of R$ 216,226.
