MARKETABLE SECURITIES

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

NOTE 8 – MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Until the end of 2022, the company used to hold securities for dealing or trading purposes with the purpose of making profits from these transactions, accordingly the movement in marketable securities were classified as part of operating activities in the cash flow statement. Marketable securities were comprised of only available for sale investments.

In 2023, the Company approved a new investment policy, which began to consider investments for working capital and long-term investments separately, considering the new strategic direction, which includes acquisitions of companies and long-term investments. This new approach led to a new classification of marketable securities in the cash flow statements in 2023, resulting in the classification of the movement of marketable securities as an investment activity once the Company is holding these securities for the purpose of earning interest income.

These assets guarantee annual income equivalent to 10% of the profit of Lajeado Energia S.A., Paulista Lajeado Energia S.A. and CEB Lajeado Energia S.A., paid together with the dividends, and will be redeemed at the maturity scheduled for October 2032, upon their conversion into preferred shares of the capital stock of said companies.

The reduction in balance classified as marketable securities reflects the occurrence of payments made during the financial year 2023. The main disbursements were (i) amortization of debt, (ii) stock buybacks and (iii) amortization of obligations under Law nº 14,182/21. (See Note 31).

Accounting Policy

Except for the beneficiary parties, the marketable securities consist of financial investments that are not characterized as cash and cash equivalents: see note 6. The Company records its marketable securities at fair value through profit or loss, as the objective is early receipt, not maintaining their receipt flows until maturity. They are presented in current assets based on expected realization. The beneficiary parties are equity instruments, that are measured at fair value through the profit and loss.
