Accounting policy for trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are generally classified at amortized cost, except for certain receivables classified at fair value through profit or loss, whose cash flows are distinct from the receipt of principal and interest, including receivables with final prices linked to changes in commodity price after their transfer of control.

When the Company is the lessor in a finance lease, a receivable is recognized at the amount of the net investment in the lease, consisting of the lease payments receivable and any unguaranteed residual value accruing to the Company, discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease.

The Company measures expected credit losses (ECL) for short-term trade receivables using a provision matrix which is based on historical observed default rates adjusted by current and forward-looking information when applicable and available without undue cost or effort.

ECL is the weighted average of historical credit losses with the respective default risks, which may occur according to the weightings. The credit loss on a financial asset is measured by the difference between all contractual cash flows due to the Company and all cash flows the Company expects to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.

The Company measures the allowance for ECL of other trade receivables based on their 12-month expected credit losses unless their credit risk increases significantly since their initial recognition, in which case the allowance is based on their lifetime ECL.

When determining whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of default on initial recognition and at the reporting date.

Regardless of the assessment of credit risk, a 30-day period of default triggers the definition of significant increase in credit risk on a financial asset, unless otherwise demonstrated by reasonable and supportable information, such as the existence of contractual or financial guarantees, which have the potential to influence credit risk, thus affecting the application of the risk matrix percentages.

The Company assumes that the credit risk on the trade receivable has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the receivable is considered to have low credit risk at the reporting date. Low credit risk is determined based on external credit ratings or internal methodologies.

In the absence of controversy or other issues that may result in the suspension of collection, the Company assumes that a default occurs whenever the counterparty does not comply with the legal obligation to pay its debts when due or, depending on the instrument, when it is at least 90 days past due.
