1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Corporate information

 

Viterra Limited (the “Company” or “Parent”) together with its subsidiaries (the “Group” or “Viterra”), is a leading integrated originator and marketer of agricultural products, with worldwide activities in the production, refining, processing, storage, transport and marketing of agricultural products. Viterra operates on a global scale, marketing and distributing physical commodities mainly sourced from third party producers to industrial consumers, such as those in the oil and food processing industries. Viterra also provides financing, logistics and other services to producers and consumers of commodities. In this regard, Viterra seeks to capture value throughout the commodity supply chain. Viterra’s long experience in origination, processing, storage and handling, and marketing of commodities has allowed it to develop and build upon its expertise in the commodities which it markets and cultivate long-term relationships with a broad supplier and customer base across diverse industries and in multiple geographic regions.

 

Viterra Limited is a privately held company incorporated and domiciled in Jersey.

 

On 13 June 2023, the Company entered into a definitive business combination agreement with Bunge Global SA (formerly known as Bunge Limited), a company incorporated in Switzerland, and based in the United States and listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“Bunge”). The closure of the merger is contingent on the fulfillment of customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2024 were authorised for issuance by the Board of Directors on 23 August 2024.

 

Basis of preparation

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") effective for the Company’s reporting for the six months ended 30 June 2024.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023. The Group’s consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.

 

The accounting policies, critical accounting judgements and key accounting estimates applied in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in the Group’s consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023, except as described further below.

 

The income tax expense for the six months ended 30 June 2024 is determined by applying the actual effective tax rate to the year-to-date adjusted profit before tax, as this represents the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2024 have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have assessed that they have, at the date of this report, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months after the date that these financial statements were authorised for issue.

3. REMEASUREMENT LOSS OF ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

 

In March 2023, Viterra announced that it would exit the Russian market and divest entirely its Russian businesses. The Russian businesses classify as a disposal group held for sale as at 30 June 2023. In determining the fair value less cost to sell an impairment loss of $163 million was recognised in the period in relation to the remeasurement of the disposal group classified as held for sale based on the expected proceeds arising from the transactions. As at 30 June 2023, the Russian businesses held an amount of cash and cash equivalents of $196 million.

 

The sale of the Russia disposal group became effective on 20 October 2023.

5. INCOME TAX

 

The major components of income tax expense in the condensed consolidated statement of income are:

 

US$ million  Six months ended 30
June 2024
   Six months ended 30
June 2023
 
Current income tax expense   (64)   (183)
Deferred income tax recovery relating to origination and reversal of temporary differences   135    122 
Total income tax recovery/(expense) reported in the condensed consolidated statement of income   71    (61)

 

The effective Group tax rate for the period ended 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 is different from the weighted average income tax rate of 20% (2023: 38%).

 

The weighted average income tax rate is highly dependent on the geographic distribution of the Group’s worldwide profits and losses.

 

The effective tax rate is sensitive to specific circumstances, transactions and tax regulations in individual jurisdictions which can result in unusual or non-recurring tax adjustments.

 

The principal reasons for the difference between the effective Group tax rate and the weighted average income tax rate for the period ended 30 June 2024 was primarily driven by significant inflation and foreign exchange adjustments in Argentina and Brazil. Furthermore, additional non-deductible transaction costs relating to the Bunge Transaction as well as tax exempt income relating to the release of previously recognised provisions impacted the effective tax rate.

 

The effective tax rate for the interim period ended 30 June 2023 is primarily driven by higher taxable income in jurisdictions with relatively higher corporate income tax rates, while tax losses were incurred in jurisdictions with a relatively lower corporate income tax rate. Furthermore, significant non-deductible expenses relating to the impairment of Russian assets and expenses relating to the Bunge transaction drove up the effective tax rate.

7. INVENTORIES

 

Total inventories of $6,487 million (2023: $7,117 million) comprise $5,910 million (2023: $6,922 million) of inventories carried at fair value less costs of disposal and $577 million (2023: $195 million) of inventories valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value.

 

Readily marketable inventories (RMI), comprising the core inventories which underpin and facilitate Viterra’s marketing activities, represent inventories that, in Viterra’s assessment, are readily convertible into cash in the short term due to their liquid nature, widely available markets, and the fact that price risk is covered either by a forward physical sale or a hedge transaction. Viterra regularly assesses the composition of these inventories and their applicability, relevance and availability to the marketing activities. As at 30 June 2024, $6,324 million (2023: $6,960 million) of inventories were considered readily marketable. This comprises $5,887 million (2023: $6,882 million) of inventories carried at fair value less costs of disposal and $437 million (2023: $78 million) carried at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Given the highly liquid nature of these inventories, which represent a significant share of current assets, the Group believes it is appropriate to consider them together with cash equivalents in analysing Group net debt levels and computing certain debt coverage ratios and credit trends.

 

Fair value of inventories is a Level 2 fair value measurement (refer to note 14) using observable market prices obtained from exchanges, traded reference indices, or market survey services adjusted for relevant location and quality differentials. There are no significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of such inventories.

 

Viterra has a number of dedicated financing facilities, which finance a portion of its inventories. In each case, the inventory has not been derecognised as the Group retains control of the inventory. The proceeds received are recognised as current borrowings (refer to note 11). As at 30 June 2024, the total amount of inventory secured under such facilities was $129 million (2023: $393 million) and proceeds received and classified as current borrowings amounted to $56 million (2023: $340 million).

Revolving credit facility

 

The revolving credit facilities available to Viterra as at 30 June 2024 are summarised below.

 

On 5 May 2023, Viterra signed a new $4.11 billion one-year revolving credit facility agreement with a one-year borrower’s term-out option (to May 2025), and a one-year extension option at lender’s discretion. Funds drawn under this facility bear interest at Daily Simple SOFR +65 bps per annum. On 6 May 2024, the $4.11 billion one-year revolving credit facility was extended for a year for an amount of $3.96 billion with a new maturity date of June 2025. The facility has a one-year term-out option at Viterra's discretion (until June 2026).

 

On 1 May 2023, Viterra extended the $1 billion three-year revolving credit facility agreement by executing one of the two extension options (at lender’s discretion). Funds drawn under the facility bear interest at compounded SOFR +60 bps per annum.

 

During April 2023, the interest margin charged on the $2.5 billion three-year revolving credit facility agreement signed in September 2022 decreased from SOFR +130 bps to SOFR +117.5 bps per annum.

14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Fair values are primarily determined using quoted market prices or standard pricing models using observable market inputs where available and are presented to reflect the expected gross future cash in/outflows. Viterra classifies the fair values of its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the degree of the source and observability of the inputs that are used to derive the fair value of the financial asset or liability as follows:

 

Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Viterra can assess at the measurement date; or

 

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted inputs included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; or

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities, requiring Viterra to make market-based assumptions.

 

Level 1 classifications include futures and options that are exchange traded, whereas Level 2 classifications primarily include swaps and physical forward transactions, which derive their fair value primarily from exchange quotes and readily observable broker quotes.

The following tables show the fair values of the derivative financial instruments including trade related financial and physical forward purchase and sale commitments by type of contract and non-current other financial liabilities as at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023. Other assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are biological assets, marketing inventories, other investments, and cash and cash equivalents. Refer to notes 7, 9 and 13 for disclosure in connection with these fair value measurements. There are no non-recurring fair value measurements.

15. FUTURE COMMITMENTS

 

Capital expenditure for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment is generally funded through the cash flow generated by the respective industrial entities. As at 30 June 2024, $77 million (2023: $33 million), of which 94% (2023: 99%) relates to expenditure to be incurred over the next year, was contractually committed for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.

 

Viterra procures seagoing vessels/chartering services to meet its overall marketing objectives and commitments. As at 30 June 2024, Viterra has committed to future vessel hire costs to meet future physical delivery and sale obligations and expectations of $163 million (2023: $115 million), of which $30 million (2023: $55 million), or 18% (2023: 48%), of the total charters are for services to be received over the next two years. Once the chartering date is reached, the vessels and related liabilities are accounted for as leases.

 

Viterra 2024 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 23

 

 

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements 

For the six months ended 30 June (unaudited)

 

Total future commitments relating to leases are aged as follows:

 

US$ million  2024   2023 
Within 1 year   16    43 
Between 2 and 5 years   71    78 
After 5 years   81    1 
Total   168    122 

 

As part of Viterra’s ordinary sourcing and procurement of physical commodities and other ordinary marketing obligations, the selling party may request that a financial institution act as either (a) the paying party upon the delivery of product and qualifying documents through the issuance of a letter of credit or (b) the guarantor by way of issuing a bank guarantee accepting responsibility for Viterra’s contractual obligations. In addition, Viterra is required to post pension guarantees in respect of its future obligations. As at 30 June 2024, $173 million (2023: $180 million) of such commitments have been issued on behalf of Viterra, which will generally be settled simultaneously with the payment for such commodity or rehabilitation and pension obligation.

16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 

The amount of corporate guarantees in favour of third parties as at 30 June 2024 was $10 million (2023: $13 million).

 

The Group is subject to various claims which arise in the ordinary course of business as detailed below. These contingent liabilities are reviewed on a regular basis and where practical an estimate is made of the potential financial impact on the Group. As at 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2023, the Group identified no material contingent liabilities.

 

Litigation

 

Certain legal proceedings, claims and unresolved disputes are pending against Viterra in respect of which the timing of resolution and potential outcome (including any future financial obligations) are uncertain and no liabilities have been recognised in relation to these matters.

 

Environmental contingencies

 

Viterra’s operations are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Viterra is in material compliance with those laws and regulations. Viterra accrues for environmental contingencies when such contingencies are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are adjusted as new information develops or circumstances change. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from insurance companies and other parties are recorded as assets when the recoveries are virtually certain. At this time, Viterra is unaware of any material environmental incidents at its locations.

 

Tax audits

 

Viterra is inherently exposed to tax risks and uncertainty over tax treatments. Viterra assesses its tax treatments for all tax years open to audit based upon the latest available information. For those positions that are not expected to be accepted by tax authorities, the Group records its best estimate of these tax liabilities, including related interest charges. Viterra assesses the most likely amount or expected value of the tax treatment in line with International Financial Reporting Interpretation 23 ("IFRIC 23"). Inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of tax contingencies due to complexities of interpretation and changes in tax laws. Whilst Viterra believes it has adequately provided for the outcome of these matters, future results may include favourable or unfavourable adjustments to these estimated tax liabilities in the period the assessments are made, or resolved.

 

In May 2018, the Australian Tax Office (ATO) commenced an audit of Glencore plc’s Australian financing arrangements covering the period 2012 to 2016. As part of these audits, notices were also issued to the current parent company of Viterra’s Australian tax group, namely Glencore Grain Holdings Australia Pty Ltd (GGHA, currently named Viterra Australia Holdings Pty Ltd). The transactions in GGHA during the period under review are material. To this date, the Group has not received any assessments following these notices. Based on the information available, management considers the tax position reflected in GGHA’s tax filings acceptable.

16. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (continued)

 

In July 2018, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) commenced an audit of Viterra Canada Inc.'s tax return for the fiscal year 2014. Following the completion of the audit, in December 2020 the CRA issued a material reassessment for which the Company has not recognised a provision. Although inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of tax contingencies due to complexities of interpretation and changes in tax laws, the Company is of the view that no significant changes are required to its tax position.

 

Viterra Canada has also received material final assessments from the CRA relating to the disallowance of non-capital loss balances so utilised by Viterra Canada during the 2016 to 2020 tax periods for which the Company has not recognised a provision. Although inherent uncertainties exist in estimates of tax contingencies due to complexities of interpretation and changes in tax laws, the Company is of the view that no significant changes are required to its tax position.

 

17. RELATED PARTIES

 

For the period ended 30 June 2024, there are no new significant related party relationships, as well as no significant related party transactions that are relevant for disclosure to get an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Company, since the end of the last annual reporting period.

 

18. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES

 

On 31 May 2024, Viterra concluded the acquisition of Penkivskyi GHC LLC (‘Penkivskyi’) for a cash consideration of $8 million, of which $1 million is contingent upon the fulfillment of certain criteria by the seller. Penkivskyi is located in Penkovka, Ukraine, and holds a grain elevator complex. The primary reason for the transaction is to expand Viterra’s business presence in Ukraine, fortifying the supply chain, optimising port operations, and fostering direct origination and relationships with farmers.

 

The purchase consideration of $8 million is allocated to property, plant and equipment for $4 million and to goodwill for $4 million.

 

19. WAR IN UKRAINE

 

On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, initiating a conflict that is still ongoing. As at 30 June 2024, Viterra had business operations and assets only in Ukraine, following the sale of the Group's Russian businesses in October 2023. Management is carefully following the situation on a continuous basis. Viterra has implemented a comprehensive risk management plan, which prioritises the safety of its employees in Ukraine.

 

Viterra 2024 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 26

 

 

Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements

For the six months ended 30 June (unaudited)

 

Due to the adverse impact on Viterra’s operations in Ukraine, fair value adjustments and impairments were recognised during 2022 and 2023. As at 30 June 2024, Viterra had total assets of $262 million (approximately 1% of the total Group assets) and total liabilities of $27 million (less than 1% of the total Group liabilities) in Ukraine. As the conflict continues, it may have additional adverse effects.

 

The directors do not believe the uncertainty arising from the conflict impacts the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In August 2024, a resolution to distribute to shareholders an amount of $59 million was approved.

 

Subsequent to period end, the European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the proposed acquisition of Viterra Limited (‘Viterra') by Bunge Global S.A. (‘Bunge'). The approval is conditional upon full compliance with the commitments offered by the parties. To address the Commission's competition concerns, it was agreed that Viterra’s business in Hungary as well as part of Viterra's business in Poland will be sold. The sale in Poland includes Viterra’s Boda processing facility including commercial activities relating to oilseeds origination to supply such facility, as well as the Trawniki, Kętrzyn, Szamotuły and Werbkowice storage facilities. The decision is conditional upon full compliance with the commitments. Under the supervision of the European Commission, an independent trustee will monitor their implementation.

 

No other material subsequent events have occurred.
