1.3.            Discontinued Operations

In the first half of 2022, BRF S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an agreement with Tyson International Holding Co. and Tyson Foods, Inc., in connection with the sale of BRF’s operations in Europe and Thailand, closed on June 3, 2019. This agreement provides for the termination of certain disputes related to losses incurred by the disposed entities and terminates Tyson's license to use certain BRF trademarks. Additionally, certain tax claims related to the period prior to the sale of the operations were finalized. The settlement of such disputes resulted in the payment of the amount equivalent to R$50,948 (USD10,164) by BRF. These transactions resulted in an expense which is presented under Net Loss from Discontinued Operations, consistently with the practice adopted in the sale of the operations in 2019.

1.4.            Investigations involving BRF

The Company has been subject to two investigations conducted by Brazilian governmental entities, denominated “Carne Fraca Operation” in 2017 and “Trapaça Operation” in 2018. 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. In 2021, the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) issued letters notifying the closure of the investigation against BRF, with no imposition of any sanctions or penalties against the Company.

The main impacts observed as result of the referred investigations were recorded in Other Operating Expenses in the amount of R$355 for the six-month period ended on June 30, 2022 (R$8,142 in the same period of the previous year) and for three-month period ended on June 30, 2022 R$175 (R$2,905 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.            Hyperinflationary economies – Turkey

Levels of inflation in Turkey have been high in the recent periods and exceeded 100% for the three-year cumulative inflation, according to the Turkish Statistical Institute. Based on this index and on qualitative analyses, the Company concluded that Turkey is considered a hyperinflationary economy, and, therefore, from the second quarter of 2022, the accounting practices described below were applied for the financial information of the Company’s subsidiary in Turkey.

Non-monetary items, as well as income and expenses, are adjusted by the changes in the inflation index between the initial recognition date the closing date, so that the subsidiaries' financial information is presented at current value.

The cumulative effects as of December 31, 2021 were recognized under Accumulated Losses, whereas the effects for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 were recognized as Exchange and monetary variations, in the income (loss) for the period.

The translation of the balances of the subsidiary in hyperinflationary economy to the reporting currency was made at the closing rate of the reporting period for both financial position and income statement balances.

The price index used for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 was 42%. In the consolidated financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, the inflation adjustment impacted the Loss before financial results and income taxes in R$(112,963), the Financial expenses, net in R$274,715 and the Loss from continuing operations in R$146,966.

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 2022 occurred between April 2nd, 2022 and May 1st, 2022.

2.BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The parent company’s and consolidated interim financial information were 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 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 were 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 were 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, 2021 (note 3), except for the income taxes, which were measured according to CPC 21 / IAS 34 by applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to the Income (Loss) Before Taxes for the interim period.

As presented in the financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2021 (note 3), in order to improve the level of detail in the presentation of information in the financial statements, the Company began to classify the expenditures with employee participation and bonuses by function in the statement of income (loss).

Additionally, the Company performed the reclassification of freight and port expenses in intra-group transactions, beginning to classify them as Cost of Sales and no longer as Selling Expenses, as these are costs incurred to bring inventories to their current condition and location.

 

To ensure comparability between the periods presented, the Company performed the following reclassifications for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021:

9.1.            ICMS – Tax on Movement of Goods and Services and VAT – Value Added Taxes

The Company has recoverable ICMS balances in the States of Paraná, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais and Amazonas, which will be realized in the short and long term, based on the recoverability study reviewed and approved by the Management.

In other jurisdictions outside Brazil, value added taxes (VAT) are due in regular operations of the Company with goods and services.

 

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

As of June 30, 2022, 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$2,198,918 (R$2,341,737 as of December 31, 2021). The amount of R$202,462 related do these credits was offset against other federal taxes in the six-month period ended on June 30, 2022 (R$191,761 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 expectation below:

  PIS and COFINS
Current                414,701
Non-current             1,784,217
2023                718,149
2024                687,602
2025                378,466
              2,198,918

9.3.            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, 2022 is R$1,004,916 (R$945,845 on December 31, 2021), of which R$987,990 (R$919,982 on December 31, 2021) is recorded as Recoverable Taxes and the remainder, referring to cases in which the government will reimburse in cash, is recorded as Other Non-Current Assets, in the amount of R$16,927 (R$16,927 on December 31, 2021).

According to projections prepared by the Management, its realization is estimated through the refund of the amounts as expected below:

  IPI
Non-current             1,004,916
2023                  16,927
2025                725,776
2026                262,213
              1,004,916

 

9.4.            Realization of Brazilian federal tax credits

The Company received in cash, through court orders related to recoverable IPI balances, the amount of R$8,936 in the six-month period ended on June 30, 2022 in the parent company and consolidated (null in the same period of the previous year).

The Company used PIS, COFINS, IPI, and other recoverable taxes to offset federal taxes payable such as INSS, Income Taxes and Other in the amount of R$417,097 in the six-month period ended on June 30, 2022 (R$490,002 in the same period of the previous year), preserving its liquidity and optimizing its capital structure.

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 for changes in economic assumptions and 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 presented below:

         3,846,423          3,877,279

The Company has tax losses carryforward in Brazil, which at current tax rates represent R$6,820,822 on June 30, 2022 (R$6,204,203 on December 31, 2021). Within this amount, R$3,846,423 on June 30, 2022 and (R$3,846,423 on December 31, 2021) are recognized as an asset, according to the recoverability expectation. 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.

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, 2022, 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 1.03% and 1.31% p.m. (0.67% to 1.02% p.m. on December 31, 2021).

On June 30, 2022, 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 0.23% and 0.61% p.m. (0.19% to 0.39% p.m. on December 31, 2021).

On December 16, 2021, the Financial Risk Management Policy was amended and from this date, non-derivative financial instruments may only be designated as hedge instruments in net investment hedge relations. Thus, on December 16, 2021, the cash flow hedge relations presented below were discontinued because the hedging instruments were non-derivative financial instruments (loans) and no longer met the Company’s strategies and objectives.

24.6.        Sensitivity analysis

The Management believes 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, 2022, which has been described in the items above. The estimated values may differ significantly to numbers and results that will be effectively registered by the Company. 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 does not have financial instruments in this category.

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, 2022, there were no changes among the 3 levels of hierarchy.

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. “the Company” contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which comprises the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2022 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 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 qualified in respect of these matters.

 

Other matters - Statements of Value Added

The interim financial information mentioned above includes Statements of Value Added, individual and consolidated, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management, 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.
