Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are contracted to protect the Company’s operations from exchange and interest rate fluctuation risks and are not used for speculation.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company had the following instruments:

 

   

Non-deliverable forward (NDF), with the purpose of protecting the Company against the risks of exchange rate fluctuations. The fair value is determined by the observable market pricing model.

 

   

Swap operations, with the main objective of changing the debts index, from floating rates to fixed interest rates or vice versa, exchange of Dollar to Real or Euro and vice versa. The fair values of these instruments are measured by the future flow, determined by applying contractual interest rates to maturity, and discounted to present value at the date of the consolidated financial statements by the prevailing market rates.

 

   

Transactions with purchase options and currency sale, in order to protect cash flows of wage costs denominated in Reais, against the risk of currency fluctuations. The financial instrument used by the Company is zero-cost collar, which consists of the purchasing of a put option and the sale of a call option, contracted with the same counterparty and with a zero net premium. The fair value of this instrument is determined by the observable market pricing model (through market information providers) and widely used by market participants to measure similar instruments.

(ii)

Interest rate swap, designated as fair value hedge, of US$ 277.6 related to the Export and Project Development debt lines, subject to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.51% p.a. to a weighted average floating rate equivalent to 34.49% p.a. of CDI index (Interbank Deposit Certificate).

(iii)

Interest rate swap, designated as cash flow hedge, which converted 6-month LIBOR interest rate to a fixed interest rate of 2.37% p.a., related to US$ 100.0 debt.

(iv)

Interest rate swap, which converted the amount of US$ 7.3 of recourse and non-recourse debt from a weighted average fixed rate of 8.4% p.a. to a floating rate equivalent to LIBOR 6 months + 1.15% p.a.

(v)

As of December 31, 2018, loans and financing measured as at amortized cost amounted to US$ 3,647.6, and US$ 3,648.4 considering the effect of fair value of hedged risks by the hedge structures (As of December 31, 2017 US$ 4,198.3 and US$ 4,198.5, respectively).

The hedge effectiveness determined for the fair value and cash flow hedges in the inception date was 1:1 and 1:1, respectively. Considering changes in the discounted value of hedge instruments not yet liquidated since January 1st and in the value of hedged risk applied to determine the effectiveness relationship, the hedge effectiveness was 1:1.0056 and 1:1.1521 (1:1.0008 and 1:1.0303 as of December 31, 2017).
