The Company’s Audit and Integrity Committee conducted independent investigations, along with the Independent Investigation Committee, composed of external members and with external legal advisors in Brazil and abroad with respect to the allegations involving BRF employees and former employees.

The main impacts observed as result of the referred investigations were recorded in Other Operating Expenses in the amount of R$8,142 for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2021 (R$24,072 in the same period of the previous year) and for three-month period ended on June 30, 2021 R$2,905 (R$11,771 in the same period of the previous year) mostly related to expenditures with lawyers, legal advisors and consultants.

In addition to the impacts already recorded, there are uncertainties about the outcome of these investigations which may result in penalties, fines and normative sanctions, right restrictions and other forms of liabilities, for which the Company is not able to make a reliable estimate of the potential losses. The outcomes may result in payments of substantial amounts, which may cause a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results and cash flows in the future.

1.5.Coronavirus (COVID-19)

On January 31, 2020 the World Health Organization announced that the COVID-19 is a global health emergency and on March 11, 2020 declared it a global pandemic. The outbreak has triggered significant decisions from governments and private sector entities, which in addition to the potential impact, increased the uncertainty level for the economic agents and may cause effects in the amounts recognized in the interim financial information.

BRF continues to operate its industrial complexes, distribution centers, logistics, supply chain and administrative offices, even if temporarily and partially under remote work regime in some of the corporate offices. Therefore, until the date of approval of this interim financial information, there has been no relevant change in its production plan, operation and/or commercialization. Additionally, management has developed and implemented contingency plans to maintain the operations and monitors the effects of the pandemic through a permanent multidisciplinary monitoring committee, formed by executives, specialists in the public health area and consultants.

Due to the pandemic, the Company has incurred in direct expenditures, such as transportation, personnel, prevention, control and donations, which are presented in the statement of income (loss) within the following line items:

                Consolidated
        2021       2020
    Apr - Jun   Jan - Jun   Apr - Jun   Jan - Jun
Cost of sales   (57,431)     (121,656)     (173,674)     (174,288)
Selling expenses   (19,166)   (24,090)   (18,575)   (46,317)
General and administrative expenses     (5,876)   (16,947)   (25,893)   (26,066)
    (82,473)     (162,693)     (218,142)     (246,671)

 

The management considered in its projections of results and cash flows, to the best of its knowledge, the effects and uncertainties regarding the pandemic. Due to the high volatility and uncertainty around the length and the impact of the pandemic, the Company will continue to monitor the situation and evaluate the impacts on assumptions and estimates used in preparing our financial reporting.

 

1.6.Seasonality

During the months of November and December of each year, the Company is impacted by seasonality in the Brazil operating segment due to Christmas and New Year’s Celebrations. The products that are relevant contributors are: turkey, Chester®, ham and pork cuts (hind leg/pork loin).

In the International operating segment, seasonality is due to Ramadan, which is the holy month of the Muslim calendar. The beginning of Ramadan depends on the beginning of the moon cycle and in 2021 occurred between April 13, 2021 and May 12, 2021.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information was prepared in accordance with the CPC 21 (R1) – Interim Financial Statements and the IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB as well as with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission. All the relevant information applicable to the interim financial information, and only them, are being evidenced and correspond to those used by administration in its management.

The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information is expressed in thousands of Brazilian Reais (“R$”), unless otherwise stated. For disclosures of amounts in other currencies, the values were also expressed in thousands, unless otherwise stated.

The preparation of the parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information require Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosures of contingent liabilities. The uncertainty inherent to these judgments, assumptions and estimates could result in material adjustments to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future periods.

Any judgments, estimates and assumptions are reviewed at each reporting period.

The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information was prepared based on the recoverable historical cost, except for the following material items recognized in the statements of financial position:

(i)       derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments measured at fair value;

(ii)       share-based payments and employee benefits measured at fair value;

(iii)       biological assets measured at fair value; and

(iv)       assets held for sale in instances where the fair value is lower than historical cost.

The Company prepared parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information under the going concern assumption and disclosed all relevant information in its explanatory notes, in order to clarify and complement the accounting basis adopted.

 

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim financial information, in this case quarterly financial information, aim to provide updated information based on the last annual financial statements disclosed. Therefore, the quarterly financial information focus on new activities, events and circumstances and do not repeat the information previously disclosed, except when Management judges that the maintenance of the information is relevant.

The interim financial information was prepared based on the accounting policies and estimates calculation methodologies adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 (note 3), except for: (i) the income taxes, which were measured according to CPC 21 / IAS 34 by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the pre-tax profit or loss for the interim period; and (ii) classification of payment of interest in the statements of cash flows, as described below.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, the Company changed the classification of payment of interest in the statement of cash flows, reclassifying this item from Operating Activities to Financing Activities. This change was made for better presentation of the Company’s cash flows and convergence with the reports used by the administration in its management.

To ensure comparability between the periods presented, the Company performed the following reclassifications for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2020:

                    Jan - Jun 2020
            Parent company           Consolidated
    Previously presented   Reclassification   Restated   Previously presented   Reclassification   Restated
Net cash provided by operating activities          2,171,482              474,804           2,646,286             3,553,072                  553,441              4,106,513
Net cash used in investing activities            (416,690)                        -            (416,690)              (425,352)                            -               (425,352)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities          1,147,014            (474,804)              672,210             1,243,293                (553,441)                 689,852
Effect of exchange rate variation on cash and cash equivalents             198,521                        -              198,521             1,062,477                            -              1,062,477
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents          3,100,327                        -           3,100,327             5,433,490                            -              5,433,490

 

There were no changes on such policies and estimates calculation methodologies. As allowed by CPC 21 / IAS 34, Management decided not to disclose again the details of the accounting policies adopted by the Company. Hence, the interim financial information should be read along with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, in order to allow the users to further understand the Company’s financial conditions and liquidity, as well as its capacity to generate profits and cash flows.

9.1.PIS and COFINS –Social Integration Plan and Contribution for Social Security Financing

On December 7, 2020 the Company received an unappealable judicial decision to a process filled by Batávia S.A. (subsidiary incorporated by BRF S.A.) granting the Company the right to exclude ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis. Throughout the first semester of 2021, the Company, supported by its consultants, obtained the fiscal files for the period and reconciled them with the accessory obligations, measuring the credits reliably through the ICMS presented in the invoices. Thus, the amount of R$75,043 was recognized under Recoverable PIS and COFINS, being R$29,887 of principal recorded in Other Operating Income and R$45,156 of interests recorded in Financial Income.

As of June 30, 2021, the updated balance of the processes related to the exclusion of the ICMS from the PIS and COFINS calculation basis recognized by the Company is R$2,717,801 (R$2,818,391 as of December 31, 2020). The amount of R$191,761 related do these credits was offset against other federal taxes in the six-month period ended on June 30, 2021 (null in the same period of the previous year).

In the study prepared by the Management, its realization is estimated through offsetting with federal taxes or through reimbursement of the amounts as expected below:

  PIS and COFINS
Current   524,823
Non-current 2,192,978
July to december 2022   328,000
2023   537,000
2024   672,000
2025   655,978
  2,717,801

9.2.IPI - Industrialized Product Tax

The Company recognized relevant tax assets as result of gains from lawsuits related to IPI, specially “crédito prêmio”. The balance referring to these assets in the parent company and consolidated on June 30, 2021 is R$909,443 (R$860,820 on December 31, 2020), of which R$853,624 (R$805,001 on December 31, 2020) is recorded as Recoverable Taxes and the remainder, referring to cases in which the government will reimburse in cash, is recorded as Other Current Assets, in the amount of R$43,428 (R$40,370 on December 31, 2020) and as Other Non-Current Assets, in the amount of R$12,391 (R$15,449 on December 31, 2020).

In the study prepared by the Management, its realization is estimated through the refund of the amounts as expected below:

  IPI
Current 43,428
Non-current   866,015
July to december 2022  12,391
2025   626,659
2026   226,965
    909,443

 

9.3.Realization of Brazilian federal tax credits

The Company used PIS, COFINS, IPI, IRPJ, CSLL, INSS and other tax credits to offset federal taxes payable such as INSS and withholding Income Tax in the amount of R$490,002 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2021 (R$411,683 in the parent company and consolidated in the same period of the previous year), preserving its liquidity and optimizing its capital structure.

10.2.Estimated period of realization

Deferred tax assets arising from temporary differences will be realized as the differences are settled or realized. The period of settlement or realization of such differences is subject to externalities and is linked to several factors that are not under the control of Management.

In estimating the realization of deferred tax credits on tax losses carryforward, Management considers its budget and strategic plans, which were approved by the Board of Directors, adjusted based on the estimates of the main tax additions and exclusions. The recoverability study is reviewed by the Fiscal Council and approved by the Board of Directors. Based on this estimate, Management believes that it is probable that these deferred tax credits will be realized, as shown below:

 

  Parent company   Consolidated
2021  111,727    119,175
2022  140,612    140,612
2023  230,254    231,408
2024  288,074    291,677
2025  329,733    335,681
2026 to 2028   1,035,323     1,035,323
2029 onwards  686,522    689,213
    2,822,245     2,843,089

The Company has tax losses carryforward in Brazil, which at current tax rates represent R$4,978,269 on June 30, 2021 (R$4,589,674 on December 31, 2020). Within this amount, R$2,822,245 on June 30, 2021 and on December 31, 2020 are recognized as an asset, according to the recoverability expectation above. The deferred tax credits on tax losses and negative social contribution basis related to the parent company and its subsidiaries domiciled in Brazil do not expire and the use to offset income taxes payable is limited to 30% of future taxable income.

(1)Amount related to the non-recognition of deferred tax on tax losses carryforward in the amount of R$1,094,182 in the parent company and in the consolidated, due to limited capacity of realization (note 10.2).

 

The Company’s management determined that the total profits recorded by the holdings of its wholly-owned subsidiaries abroad will not be redistributed. Such funds will be used for investments in the wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Income tax returns in Brazil are subject to review by the tax authorities for a period of five years from the date of their delivery. The Company may be subject to additional collection of taxes, fines and interest as a result of these reviews. The results obtained by subsidiaries abroad are subject to taxation in accordance with the tax laws of each country.

The Company has agreements with several financial institutions that allow the suppliers to anticipate their receivables. The suppliers may choose whether to participate and if so, with which institution. The anticipation allows the suppliers to better manage their cash flow needs. This flexibility allows the Company to intensify its commercial relations with the network of suppliers by potentially leveraging benefits such as preference for supply in case of restricted supply, better price conditions and/or more flexible payment terms, among others, without identifiable changes in other commercial conditions. The operations presented in this line item are the ones in which there were changes in the payment terms and prices negotiated with the suppliers.

On June 30, 2021, the discount rates applied to the supply chain finance transactions agreed between our suppliers and the financial institutions in the domestic market were set between 0.41% and 0.70% p.m. (0.38% to 0.47% p.m. on December 31, 2020).

On June 30, 2021, the discount rates applied to the supply chain finance transactions agreed between our suppliers and the financial institutions in the external market were set between 0.18% and 0.39% p.m. (0.18% to 0.40% p.m. on December 31, 2020).

The Company does not expect that the cash outflows to fulfill the obligations shown above will be significantly influenced by factors unrelated to its best interests, or substantially modified outside the normal course of business.

 

24.4.Market risk management
24.4.1.Interest rate risk

The indebtedness is essentially linked to the fixed coupon (R$, USD, EUR e TRY), Interbank Deposit Certificate (“CDI”), Broad Consumer Price Index (“IPCA”) and London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). In situations of adverse market changes that result in an increase in these rates, the cost of floating-rate debt rises and on the other hand, the cost of fixed-rate debt decreases in relative terms.

Regarding the marketable securities, the Company holds, mainly, instruments indexed by the CDI for investments in Brazil and fixed coupon in USD for investments in the foreign market.

The Company’s exposure to interest rates can be assessed in notes 5 and 15.

The derivative financial instruments used to hedge the exposure to interest rates as of June 30, 2021 are shown in the table below:

 

06.30.21
                          Fair value (R$)
Fair value hedge - Derivative instruments   Hedged Object   Maturity   Asset   Liability   Notional   Instrument   Object (1)
Parent company and Consolidated

Interest rate swap    Debenture - 2nd Issue - 2nd series - IPCA + 5.60% p.a     3rd Qtr. 2030    IPCA + 5.60% p.a    CDI + 2.32% p.a.     950,000  BRL      (850)    (1,677)
                           5,040     (2,602)

(1)Corresponds to the accumulated amount of fair value hedge adjustments on the hedged items, included in the carrying amount of the debentures.

 

24.4.2.Foreign exchange risk

This risk is the one that may cause unexpected losses to the Company resulting from volatility of the FX rates, reducing its assets and revenues, or increasing its liabilities and costs. The Company’s exposure is managed in three dimensions: statement of financial position exposure, operating income exposure and investments exposure.

i.Statement of financial position exposure

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency for which the exchange variations are recognized in the Financial Results are as follows, summarized in Brazilian Reais:

24.6.Sensitivity analysis

The Management understands that the most relevant risks that may affect the Company’s results are the volatility of commodities prices and foreign exchange rates. Currently the fluctuation of the interest rates does not affect significantly the Company’s results since Management has chosen to keep at fixed rates a considerable portion of its debts.

The amounts below represent the possible impacts (incremental results) of the hedging instruments and their respective hedged positions, considering situations of increase and decrease in the selected risk factors.

The information used in the preparation of the analysis is based on the position as of June 30, 2021, which has been described in the items above. The future results may diverge significantly of the estimated values if the reality presents different than the assumptions used. Positive values indicate gains and negative values indicate losses.

24.8.Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Depending on the inputs used for measurement, the financial instruments at fair value may be classified into 3 hierarchy levels:

»Level 1 – Uses quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets. In this category are classified investments in stocks, savings accounts, overnights, term deposits, Financial Treasury Bills (“LFT”) and investment funds;
»Level 2 – Uses prices quoted in active markets for similar instruments, prices quoted for identical or similar instruments in non-active markets and evaluation models for which inputs are observable. In this level are classified the investments in Bank Deposit Certificates (“CDB”) and derivatives, which are measured by well-known pricing models: discounted cash flows and Black-Scholes. The observable inputs are interest rates and curves, volatility factors and foreign exchange rates;
»Level 3 – Instruments for which significant inputs are non-observable. The Company has a financial liability arising from a put option written in the context of a business combination.

The table below presents the overall classification of financial instruments measured at fair value by measurement hierarchy. For the six-month period ended on June 30, 2021, there were no changes among the 3 levels of hierarchy.

24.8.1.Level 3 measurement

The Company holds a financial liability arising from a put option written in the context of a business combination. This option gives the non-controlling shareholder the right to sell its equity stake in the subsidiary for an amount equivalent, in Turkish Liras, to a multiple of the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of the economic group of this subsidiary in the last 12 months prior to the exercise. The exercise period is comprised of the six-month period beginning on May 25, 2021. This liability is measured at the present value of redemption amount using internal assumptions regarding the results of that economic group.

The effects of the subsequent measurement resulted in a gain in financial results of R$74,172 in the six-month ended on June 30, 2021 (gain of R$390,353 in the same period of the prior year) and a loss of R$28,121 for the three-month period ended on June 30, 2021 (gain of R$337,677 in the same period of the prior year), as per note 28.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

BRF S.A.

Itajaí - SC

 

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of BRF S.A. (“Company”) contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, which comprises the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2021 and the respective statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six-month period then ended, and changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

The Company's management is responsible for the preparation of this individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Technical Pronouncement CPC 21 (R1) – Demonstração Intermediária and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB, as well as for the presentation of this information in accordance with standards issued by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form - ITR. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on review engagements of interim financial information (NBC TR 2410 - Revisão de Informações Intermediárias Executada pelo Auditor da Entidade and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for the financial and accounting matters and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the Quarterly Information Form – ITR referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with CPC 21 (R1) and IAS 34, issued by IASB, applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form - ITR, and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Comissão de Valores Mobiliários – CVM.

 

Emphasis of matter

We draw attention to explanatory note 1.4 to the interim financial information, individual and consolidated, which describe the investigations concluded by United States Government authorities and the ongoing investigations conducted by Brazilian Government authorities involving the Company, as well as their current and potential developments. In the current stage of the ongoing investigations, it is not possible to determine the potential financial and non-financial impacts on the Company resulting from them and of their potential developments and, consequently, to record potential losses which could have a material adverse effect on the Company´s financial position, results of operations and cash flows in the future. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

 

Other matters - Statements of Value Added

The interim financial information above mentioned includes the Statements of Value Added, individual and consolidated, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34. These statements were submitted to review procedures together with the review of the Quarterly Information, with the objective of concluding whether they are reconciled with the interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in Technical Pronouncement CPC 09 - Statement of Added Value. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that it has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in this Pronouncement and consistent with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.
